-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM TCPS Special Issue on Dependability in Cyber Physical Systems and Applications Datum: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 09:30:04 -0400 (EDT) Von: Tei-Wei Kuo <pubs(a)acm.org> An: wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE Call For Papers <http://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-112e9x3bda9x09793&> *CALL FOR PAPERS* ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems (TCPS) /Special Issue on Dependability in Cyber Physical Systems and Applications/ Guest Editors Md Zakirul Alam Bhuiyan, Fordham University, USA Sy-Yen Kuo, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Damian Lyons, Fordham University, USA Zili Shao, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Introduction* Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a speedily emerging area that will cover every aspect of life in the near future. Semiconductors and the Internet have revolutionized and transformed our lives and how we interact with information, which has in turn led to the growth of information technology. Today we are in a CPS paradigm that will transform the way we interact with, and manipulate, physical systems. CPS represents a bold new generation of systems that integrates computing and communication capabilities with the dynamics of physical and engineered systems. Vast major investments are being made worldwide in developing this technology and its impact on the economy and social structure has yet to be realized. No matter how integrated cyber-physical worlds are to develop, there is no doubt that they must be "dependable". Increasingly, individuals, practitioners, and organizations have begun to develop or procure sophisticated CPS in whose /dependability/ of services they must have great confidence. Future CPS systems need to close the /dependability/ gap in the face of challenges in different circumstances and services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault/corruption/anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability/availability/sustainability/adaptability/heterogeneity/security/safety, and so on. Therefore, we have a wide open area of research to explore and exploit the challenges and immense opportunities in this dependable CPS arena. *Scope* This special issue focuses on bringing together current research ideas and techniques from researchers and practitioners belonging to a myriad of research areas, with the final goal of sharing their specific challenges and solutions for /CPS dependability/. More specifically, contributions related to /dependability/ aspects of CPS /applications/systems in practice/ are of interest. The scope for this special issue includes but is not limited to the following list: * Theoretical foundations of dependability in controlling/managing/monitoring in CPS * Architectural framework and design methodologies for dependable CPS * Dependable software platforms for managing CPS * Dependability issues in Big Data analytics for CPS * Dependability issues in Cloud-assisted CPS * Dependability issues in sensor network protocols for CPS * Fault models and fault tolerances in both cyber and physical subsystems * HCI models and HCI system failure and recovery * Cyber security, privacy, safety, availability/reliability issues in distributed CPS and applications * Dependability issues in CPS applications (including robotics, autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, transportation, smart energy, smart civil infrastructure, and healthcare) * Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools for CPS *Evaluation Criteria* All papers submitted to this special issue will be evaluated according to relevance, novelty, and new contributions. Particularly, the paper must show enough evidence of contributions to CPS applications/systems in practice. *Schedule* * Manuscript submission due: March 15, 2017 * First-round pass notification: April 15, 2017 * First round of reviews complete: August 15, 2017 * Second round of reviews complete: October 15, 2017 * Final notification: November 15, 2017 * Target publication: 2017/2018 For further information, please contact SI.Dependable.CPS(a)gmail.com <mailto:SI.Dependable.CPS@gmail.com>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you do not want to receive future emails about publishing in ACM journals, send an email to mktg2(a)hq.acm.org <mailto:mktg2@hq.acm.org> with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the subject.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. "Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Resources: Information and Communication Technologies with Industry Perspective" Submission Deadline: Dec 30, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics at http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ THE THEME ---------------- The naturally replenished inexhaustible energy that exists all around us in the ambient environment is often referred as renewable energy. Though this type of energy can be present in any form, it can only be converted into electrical energy through appropriate hardware. The potential renewable energy resources include light, wind, vibration, heat, biofuel, biomass, and tides. It is envisaged that the use of renewable energy will reduce the use of primary energy in future and this trend will continue in order to reduce the emission of the greenhouse gases. The abundance of these renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) at consumer side may help to develop distributed renewable energy generation at a large scale. The DERs will likely be an integral part of the future electric grid i.e., the smart grid. A prominent feature of the smart grid is that it allows for two-way communication between the utility and its customers through information and communication technologies! (ICTs). In this special section, we seek new and unpublished work in the domain of information and communication technologies with an industry perspective in the domain of Smart Grid systems with emphasis on the integration of renewable energy resources. More specifically, this special section will focus on recent developments in the smart grid and its integration with renewable energy resources. TOPICS ----------- The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Integration of renewable energy resources (RERs) with smart grid (SG) - Information and communication technologies supporting smart grid with RERs - Industry perspective on smart grid with RERs - Communication architectures and networking protocols for SG with RERs - Standardization activities for SG with RERs - Security and privacy issues for SG with RERs - Future perspective on SG with RERs - Resource management in SG with RERs - Delay sensitive and multimedia communication in SG with RERs - Optimization methods for distributed energy management systems - Electric vehicles as grid energy storage - Integration of solar energy into smart grids - Spatial load forecasting for micro-grids and virtual power plants - Energy load and prize forecasting in SG with RERs - Energy forwarding networks in SG with RERs - Energy storage and off-grid energy storage techniques - Case studies on integration of green computing with SG with RERs MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------- Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/.

In general, these devices are worn continuously throughout the day and thus provide the opportunity to gather information about their users with unprecedented levels. In addition, many wearable devices are directly worn over the skin and they may include sensors not available on common smartphones (e.g. for monitoring the user’s heart rate). As a consequence, they are particularly suitable for those medical applications where continuous monitoring is fundamental. At the same time, the massive amount of information collected through these devices is enabling novel applications in the context of e-health and wellbeing. For instance, it is known that abundance of information promotes an effective management of patients’ condition, and a well-informed patient is more likely to conduct a healthy lifestyle. This special issue aims to collect recent, original research in the area of wearable systems for e-health and wellbeing. Papers that report on techniques, systems, and experiments that fit in the mentioned scenario and potentially interesting for the readers of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing are welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Smartwatch-based applications for a healthy lifestyle - Dedicated wearable systems and architectures for e-health and wellbeing - Performance evaluation of wearable systems in e-health and wellbeing - Novel techniques and applications for wearable systems in e-health and wellbeing - Wearable systems for diagnosis and assessment of medical conditions - Detection of anomalies through wearable systems - Security and privacy in e-health and wellbeing applications based on wearable systems - Wearable systems for older adults - Experimental evaluation of wearable systems for e-health and wellbeing - Networking in wearable systems for e-health and wellbeing IMPORTANT DATES Submission: November 30th, 2016 First notification: January 31st, 2017 Submission of revised version: March 7th, 2017 Final notification: April 15th, 2017 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Manuscripts should follow the guidelines of the Personal and Ubiquitous Computing journal (available here: http://www.springer.com/computer/hci/journal/779).

Ubiquitous computing, mobile computing, and last mile connectivity based applications will be the future of mobile applications. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) will play an important role in such applications. P2P networking refers to the technology that enables two or more peers to collaborate spontaneously in an overlay network by using appropriate information and communication systems without the necessity for a central coordination. A P2P overlay network is a robust, distributed and fault-tolerant network architecture for sharing resources like CPU, memory and files. Mobile and wireless technology have experienced great progress in recent years. There are several research challenges in the design of an efficient P2P-based network, e.g., the design of a flexible structure (like ring, chord, 3D or other multi dimensional structure), avoiding mismatch between physical and logical networks, having a flexible structur! e that can accommodate dynamic joining and departure of nodes, routing, and forwarding of query. Also, P2P networks have been used in the emerging networks, such as smart grid, cognitive radio networks, online social networks and data center networks, for the support of various applications like routing information maintenance, data storage and retrieval, and location service. Each of these emerging networks has their own unique characteristics which requires a different approach for the design of an efficient P2P structure for these emerging networks. In this special issue, we are seeking new and unpublished work in the domain of emerging P2P network technologies for pervasive and mobile computing. More specifically, this special issue will focus on recent developments in the design of an efficient P2P-based protocol in the emerging networks and its new applications with special focus on pervasive and mobile computing. Traditional networking papers or papers that do not emphasize the proper focus of this special issue will be rejected without review. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - P2P networks for pervasive and mobile computing (PMC) applications - P2P-based protocol for data/file sharing in Internet, smart grid, ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, data center, vehicular networks, Internet of Things, smart systems - P2P-based routing protocols for Internet, smart grid, ad hoc networks, data center networks - P2P support of efficient data management in cloud computing - P2P-based location services for storing/managing geographic location information - Application of P2P in vehicular networks. - P2P based protocols for Named Networks for PMC applications - P2P based protocols for social networking for PMC applications - P2P based protocols for Software Defined Radio for PMC applications - P2P-based protocol for multimedia networks for PMC applications - P2P-based overlays for group communication for PMC applications - IP/Name resolution through P2P-based protocol - Cross-layer approach for P2P-based protocols for PMC - Developments, issues, and open areas of P2P protocols for PMC - P2P-based protocol for resource management in emerging networks (like Cognitive Radio Cellular/Sensor Networks/D2D) - New applications of P2P-based networks for PMC applications - Future perspective for P2P-based protocols in emerging networks IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------ Manuscript Due: October 30, 2016 Acceptance notification: January 30, 2017 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: Mid 2017 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ---------------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/.
