-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM Information Centric Networking (ICN) 2016 @ Kyoto: CALL FOR Short/Long PAPERS (Registration Deadline: May 7, 2016) Datum: Wed, 4 May 2016 00:47:34 +0000 Von: Cedric Westphal <Cedric.Westphal(a)HUAWEI.COM> Antwort an: Cedric Westphal <Cedric.Westphal(a)HUAWEI.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM Information Centric Networking (ICN) 2016 CALL FOR Short/Long PAPERS (Registration Deadline: May 7, 2016) http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/2016 Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new networking paradigm intended to provide access to information without requiring an explicit binding of that information to a particular location. By directly addressing information, ICN supports mobile users and mobile networked devices, offers a higher-level communication service to applications, and promotes authentication and efficiency in the transmission and dissemination of information. Over the last few years, a global research and development community has grown around the idea of ICN. ICN 2016 is the third edition of the ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking, the premier international forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in information centric networking. ACM ICN 2016 will be a single-track conference featuring paper and poster presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations. In addition to the "best paper award", ACM ICN 2016 will give this year a "best demo award" (based on community judging by registered participants), as well as a "best dataset award" (for poster submissions qualifying for this category). The Technical Program Committee of ACM ICN 2016 invites high-quality submissions describing unpublished research results in all aspects of ICN. The third edition on ACM ICN will especially welcome work that reflects the maturity of ICN field, under several angles, including for instance interoperability, architectural comparison with quantitative assessment, and critical reassessment of previous work with particular emphasis on contributions to architectural designs and reproducible experimental evaluations. Topics of interest include: - Application programming interfaces (APIs) for ICN and their evaluation - Applications of ICN - Architecture design and evaluation - Caching - Comparison of different ICN architecture designs - Critical analysis of previous work in ICN - Deployments of ICN - Economics and business models - Evaluation methodology and metrics - Experience from implementation - Feasibility studies of ICN for high speed networking - ICN support for ad hoc, direct peer-to-peer communication - Implementation strategies for ICN - Interoperability across ICN architectures - Management in ICN - Opportunities for ICN in the developing world - Privacy - Routing in ICN - Scalability analysis of ICN - Tools, experimentation facilities, and measurement methodology for ICN - Transport issues in ICN - Trust management and access control Submission instructions Papers submitted for consideration must not have been already published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the consideration period. Specifically, authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism and the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions. ACM ICN 2016 invites two kind of submissions, namely Full-paper and Short-paper submissions. All submissions must be in English and in PDF format. Submissions that do not comply with these instructions will be rejected without review. Papers must be submitted electronically through the ICN 2016 submission site. Please refer to the detailed submission instructions that are reported on the ACM ICN 2016 website. Full-papers can be up to 10 pages in length following the ACM SIGCOMM format, and should convey results of mature research. Short-papers can be up to 6 pages in length and should report on cross-disciplinary work, or less mature work not qualifying for a full submission. Papers with doctoral students as first authors are particularly encouraged. Note: Submissions exceeding the 6 pages length will be considered as full-papers. Submissions will be reviewed and evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. The program committee as a whole will make final decisions about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference. A "best paper award" will be attributed from the program committee to one among the accepted papers in each of the Full paper and Short paper tracks. The program committee may propose that authors either 1) revise papers of special merit and resubmit them to an ICN'16 workshop for consideration, or 2) present their work with a poster accompanied by a 2-page extended abstract.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ACM CHANTS 2016] Call for Papers - 4 weeks to deadline! Datum: Mon, 2 May 2016 16:34:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <chants16_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Elisabetta Biondi <chants16_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG =============================================================================== =============================================================================== ACM CHANTS 2016 - 11th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2016 October 3-7, 2016, New York, USA www.acm-chants.org =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing, challenged IoT. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE's D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the ten previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year's edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in the **new directions of challenged networking such as mobile cloud/mobile edge computing, IoT, mobile data offloading, and challenged SDN**. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative, out-of-the-box, solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing - Challenged networking in the Internet of Things - Big data analytics in challenged networking - Software-defined networking in challenged environments - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Network coding in challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, smart cities) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------------------- Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Reviews will be single-blinded. Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS -------------------- Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier), in a special section on Challenged Networks.

BuildSys has established itself as the premier conference for researchers and practitioners working to develop and optimize smart infrastructure systems that are driven by sensing, computing, and control functions. The review process is very thorough, and publications are considered to have the same value as journal publications in engineering fields. November 16-17, 2016 Stanford, California | co-located with ACM SenSys 2016 http://cmu.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ea7748a206cec109ddfcb3a68&id=… Important Dates: * Abstract registration: June 10th, 2016 AOE * Paper submission deadline: June 17th, 2016 AOE * Paper notification: August 15th, 2016 AOE * Poster/Demo submission deadline: August 29th, 2016 AOE * Poster/Demo notification deadline: September 7th, 2016 AOE * Camera ready submissions: September 14, 2016 AOE Advances in the effective integration of networked sensors, building controls, and physical infrastructure are transforming our society, allowing the formation of unprecedented built environments and interlocking physical, social, cyber challenges. Built environments, including buildings and critical urban infrastructure, account for over half of society’s energy consumption and are the mainstay of our nation’s economy, security and health. As a result, there is a broad recognition that systems optimizing explicitly for the built environment are particularly important in improving our society, e.g., by increasing its sustainability and enhancing people’s quality-of-life. These systems represent the foundation for emerging “smart cities”. The 3rd ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Built Environments (BuildSys 2016) will be held November 16-17th, 2016 at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. We invite original contributions in the areas of intelligent systems and applications for the built environment. BuildSys particularly emphasizes approaches that improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, increase performance, and add novel functionality for improving users’ comfort and experience. BuildSys’ scope is broad, encompassing all systems within the built environment of the urban fabric, including not only buildings but also critical infrastructure systems, such as water, power, communications, and transportation that will make up the “smart cities” of the future. BuildSys has established itself as the premier conference for researchers and practitioners working to develop and optimize smart infrastructure systems that are driven by sensing, computing, and control functions. Submission Types: We solicit three types of original submissions: * Regular papers for oral presentation (10 pages) * Notes papers for oral presentation (4 pages) * Technical posters and demos will be solicited via a separate call (2 pages) Topics: Papers are invited in all emerging aspects of information-driven systems for the built environment. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Sensing and control systems for managing urban infrastructure systems, such as water supply and distribution networks, wastewater treatment systems, electrical grids, transportation networks, etc.; * Sensing, actuation and management of electrical loads in residential, commercial and industrial settings; * Novel sensor methodologies, sensor networks and applications that enhance energy efficiency, energy reliability, durability and occupant comfort; * Systems that integrate infrastructure with the emerging smart grid to provide demand response and ancillary services and/or manage utility costs; * Modeling, simulation, optimization, and control of heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, water usage and other energy flows in built environments; * Distributed generation, alternative energy, renewable sources, and energy storage in buildings; * Emerging communication standards for data collection, energy control, or interoperation of disparate devices or systems; * Human in the loop sensing and control for efficient usage of electricity, gas, heating, water; * New socio-technical systems for innovative applications and services to enable more livable, workable, sustainable, and connected communities; * Localization and contextual computing for increased human-infrastructure interactions; * Security and Privacy issues for the built environments; * Optimizations interconnected and interdependent systems-of-systems, such as water, energy, or transportation systems Submission Guidelines: Submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be currently under review for any other publication.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiArch 2016 - Call for Papers - New York, USA - Submission deadline: May 15, 2016 Datum: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 16:37:02 -0400 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 11th ACM Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch) 2016 In conjunction with MOBICOM 2016, New York, USA October 3, 2016 http://www.nr2.ufpr.br/~mobiarch/ *Submission deadline: May 15, 2016* ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** Recent years have witnessed mobile devices surpassing stationary Internet hosts in numbers and exponential growth of mobile data traffic. Wireless has quickly become the dominant last-hop access to the Internet. The mobility of users, devices and networks has become an integral part of today’s Internet. In the meantime, the network infrastructure is the process of transforming from a hardware dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined, cloud-based system with decreasing dependency on hardware. The increasing ability to collect and process large amount of data pertaining to network, devices, and users is posing new challenges to network design. As these trends continue in the near future, a reexamination is urgently required for the architecture of the mobile-centric Internet. Particularly, there is a need to deal with new opportunities and challenges as a result of the support of information and contents, the availability of software defined architecture, the computational support from the cloud, the emerging spectrum access techniques and the massive amount of data. MobiArch 2016 has mobile Internet data analysis as the central theme, a new rising and challenging networking environment that mixes the mobility of users and the design of mobile services and networks with the analysis of data coming from the network, the devices and the applications. The emergence of Cloud-dependent mobile services and the widespread growth of user-generated data, as well as the ever increasing use of cellular and wireless technologies, are leading to the collection of a vast amount of user mobility data as well as measurements of network states and service provisioning elements. In this context, various networking challenges rise such as seamless IP mobility management, the definition of algorithms correlating user mobility and application usages, the online or offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from the access network and user devices, the possibility of offload computing tasks, whole application or part of device operating system to the cloud, possible algorithm correlating traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading as a consequence of mobile data analysis, pattern inference and estimation, etc. To tackle these challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, security and privacy, multi-homing, transport over wireless access, user incentives to reduce network congestion, incentives for network providers to deploy new/alternative mobile Internet infrastructure, incentives for service developers/providers to define new mobile services, efficient multimedia content distribution, information centric networking solutions, collection and management of data, new business models for mobile data, to related operational concerns and legal issues.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on People-centric Internet of Things Datum: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 08:57:58 +0100 Von: Fernando Boavida <boavida(a)DEI.UC.PT> Antwort an: Fernando Boavida <boavida(a)DEI.UC.PT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP.) Call for papers IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on People-centric Internet of Things This CFP can be accessed via the link: http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/people-centric-internet-things <http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/people-centric-internet-things> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEATURE TOPIC PEOPLE-CENTRIC INTERNET OF THINGS CALL FOR PAPERS Internet of Things (IoT) is designed to operate in conjunction with and in service of people. Therefore, people can be viewed as an integral part of the IoT ecosystem. Although considerable work has been done in the recent past regarding IoT, many challenges have remained. In fact, most technologies and solutions for accessing real-world information are either closed, platform-specific, or application-specific. Recent efforts to define IoT reference architectures, such as IoT-A, OpenIoT, SENSEI, or FI-WARE, are important steps in the right direction, but they still lack features that are important for people-centric applications, such as adaptability, intuitiveness, and integration capabilities. So, on one hand, there is need to define an IoT architecture that goes beyond vertical solutions by integrating all required technologies and components into a common, open and multi-application platform. On the other hand, there is need to develop a set of common building blocks, middleware and services that can be used to construct people-oriented applications in an open, dynamic and more effective way into smart environments including but not restricted to smart cities, businesses, education and e-health. This Feature Topic solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, pertaining to People-Centric Internet of Things, including architectural aspects, middleware, and applications. It provides a forum for a broad range of unsolicited high quality scientific research papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to topics under consideration in this special issue. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest. This Feature Topic will focus on several topics such as: - People-IoT Interactions - Social Network Applications to Mobile Computing - Context-Aware Applications and Services - Human in the Loop - Big Data Analysis in People-centric IoT - Cloud-based People-centric IoT Applications and Environments - Security and Privacy - Prototypes, Field Experiments, Testbeds SUBMISSIONS Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines <http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines> . It is very important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the combined number of figures and tables to six. Manuscript length (introduction through conclusions, excluding figures, tables and captions) should not exceed 4,500 words. Manuscripts should be submitted through Manuscript Central at http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/ <http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/> by the manuscript submission deadline. Please select “February 2017 / People-Centric IoT” in the drop down menu.
