-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Communications Magazine Special Issue on IoT Datum: Fri, 27 May 2016 15:46:58 +0800 Von: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> Antwort an: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Internet of Things (IoT) Internet of Things is seen as a set of vertical application domains that share a limited number of common basic functionalities (such as communications and networking protocols and operating systems APIs). In this view, consumer centric solutions, platforms, data management, and business models have to be developed and consolidated in order to deploy effective solutions in the specific fields. The availability of low cost general purpose processing and storage systems with sensing/actuation capabilities (now available also to prosumers) coupled with communication capabilities are broadening the possibilities of IoT leading to open systems that will be highly programmable, virtualized and will support large numbers of APIs. Internet of Things emerges as a set of integrated technologies new exciting solutions and services that are set to change the way people live, produce goods. Internet of Things is rewarded by many as a fruitful technological sector in order to generate revenues. IoT covers a large wealth of consumer centric technologies (from sensors to communications up to software platforms) and it is applicable to an even larger set of application domains (from manufacturing to e-health, from logistics to automotive). Innovation will be nurtured and driven by the possibilities offered by the combination of increased technological capabilities, new business models and the rise of new ecosystems. IoT will be characterized by a few enablers: * Sensors, actuators and new consumer devices. * New Communication capabilities (from short range to LPWAN to 4G and 5G networks, with NB-IoT). In addition, new communication protocols and the exploitation of NFV/SDN for better communications. * Data management and Big Data analysis to deal with large data sets and streams generated by IoT systems. * New solutions for large distributed systems (e.g., combination of Cloud, Grid and Edge/Fog Computing). * Cognitive systems. Large IoT systems will be more and more complex, and as such they will require new cognitive techniques in order to be effective. * Platform programmability. APIs and other means for supporting the programmability of IoT systems in order to enable the exploitation of programmable features made available. * New Business models and ecosystems. What is the value of IoT systems, what ecosystems support it, how to monetize IoT. * Consumer centric aspects including IoT application development, utilization of semantics and security, privacy, trust. This proposed Feature Topic (FT) issue will gather articles from a wide range of perspectives in different industrial and research communities of IoT.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Deadline Extended, Elsevier Information Systems Journal [Impact Factor=1.456] -- Special Issue on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things" Datum: Thu, 26 May 2016 00:19:52 -0400 Von: Ejaz Ahmed <imejaz(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Ejaz Ahmed <imejaz(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, The paper submission deadline of special issue on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things" has extended to 30th June, 2016. Please find below a call for papers of the special issue for Information Systems Journal (Elsevier) on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers for the special issue of the Information Systems Journal (Elsevier) on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things" Link: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/information-systems/call-for-papers/specia… AIMS AND SCOPE ---------------------------- Increasing miniaturization of computing technologies and rapid advancements in communication technologies have made the heterogeneous objects of our daily lives invisibly interweave with sensors, actuators, and other computational elements, while keeping a continuous network connection. The continuous connectivity of these heterogeneous smart objects enables them to communicate with each other and with the users of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. These continuously connected data, generating heterogeneous objects, produce a huge amount of data that needs to be processed, distributed, and examined under consideration of the application objectives. Processing such unstructured and semi-structured data, generated by heterogeneous sources with different contextual and conceptual representations, is a challenging task. By leveraging the synergy among the collected data, information fusion techniques can minimize the amount of data traffic, filter irrelevant data, and make ! predictions and inferences using the collected data in the IoT environment. Information fusion helps in combining the information into a new set of information while minimizing uncertainty. Researchers are leveraging information fusion techniques to minimize the uncertainty of the data for enabling the smart objects of IoT to make the reliable decisions. The exploitation of information fusion techniques in IoT will open new dimensions for designing the reliable and autonomous systems that can operate without the need for human interactions. Hence, there is a need to investigate the potential opportunities of applying information fusion in the designs of protocols and algorithms of IoT. Such investigation will open up a totally new spectrum of functionalities with unprecedented benefits for IoT-based environments. This special issue invites new and unpublished work in the domain of information fusion in an IoT context. More specifically, this special issue will focus on recent research efforts in applying information fusion in IoT.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM TECS SI on Autonomous Battery-Free Sensing and Communication Datum: Thu, 26 May 2016 10:46:56 +0800 Von: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP) CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Autonomous Battery-Free Sensing and Communication ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems http://tecs.acm.org/pdf/absc2016-cfp.pdf Recently, energy harvesting technologies have emerged as a solution to the challenges posed by energy constraints in many mobile applications. Environmental energy, from sources such as solar, wind, radio frequency, and temperature gradient can be harvested and stored for sustainable operation, thereby enabling battery-free nodes. Such nodes can be applicable in scenarios where small device volume and perpetual operation are desirable. Moreover, they have the potential to enable autonomous sensing and communications tasks without human intervention following the deployment. However, challenges are posed by the need to coordinate the sensing and communications among battery-free nodes while guaranteeing the system performance. Since the harvesting of energy is typically hard to predict, some preliminary works designed efficient energy management schemes. Yet, designing new architectures that enable autonomous battery-free sensing and communications is an open problem. The objective of this special issue is to capture the state-of-the-art advances in this area, and foster new avenues for research. The potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --New energy harvesting technologies for battery-free systems; --Energy management for perpetual operation; --New architectures for battery-free sensing and communications; --Resource management for autonomous operations; --Operating systems for battery-free devices; --Security issues in battery-free systems; --Emerging applications by battery-free systems; --Future directions for battery-free systems; Tentative Schedule –Manuscript Due: June 1st, 2016 --First Notification: Sept. 1st, 2016 --Revised version: Nov. 1st, 2016 --Final notification: Jan. 1st, 2017 --Publication Date: 2st quarter of 2017 Guest editors: Jiming Chen, Zhejiang University, jmchen(a)iipc.zju.edu.cn Gil Zussman, Columbia University, gil(a)ee.columbia.edu Yu (Jason) Gu, IBM Watson Health, yugu(a)us.ibm.com SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Previously published conference papers may only be submitted, if the paper is substantially extended with at least 30% new material. In such a case, authors are required to include with their submission a letter in which they identify all prior publications on which their submission may be based, provide pointers to publicly available versions of those publications, and articulate any changes made to improve and/or expand on those conference publications.
