-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Duan Lingjie <lingjie_duan(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> Gesendet: 24. Mai 2016 06:19:49 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: JSAC SI on "Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks" Call For Papers  IEEE JSAC Special Issue on “Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks” Due to rapid developments of smart devices and mobile applications, human activities, usage behavior and perceived experience of users weigh increasingly on the performance of mobile networks. Scenarios include mobile communication networks, haptic communications for 5G, device-to-device (D2D) networks, and wearable sensor networks. In these systems, human users interact extensively with the system, and the user-perceived quality-of- experience (QoE) is critical. However, various important human factors, e.g., predictable and repeating behavior, have not yet been well understood and fully taken into consideration in current generation mobile networks. Hence, a paradigm shift is required for designing a new human-in-the-loop architecture for mobile networks, by actively learning, predicting, adapting to, and steering user behavior, so as to greatly improve system efficiency and to provide superior users QoE. Specifically, such an architecture includes the following main components. (i) Human behavioral big data: Large-scale data is the foundation of user behavior study and prediction. However, their formats must be carefully designed to reflect user features in multi-dimensions, the crowd needs to be incentivized for data sensing and acquisition, and one may also need to leverage distributed caching, computing and communication capabilities of smart devices for scalable and reliable data communications. (ii) Human behavior learning and analytics: Human behavior exhibits significant amount of predictability, and tends to have repeated patterns, e.g., mobility and usage patterns. Efficient techniques must be developed or tailored towards human behavior modeling and data processing, and must be able to handle the dynamic nature of acquired data and respect heterogeneous constraints in data sampling and processing. (iii) Intelligent control for human-intense mobile networks: Online learning-based control and predictive control techniques must be developed to enable seamless integration of data in system optimization. They should be able to exploit benefits of behavior learning, while handling the selfish nature of human users and randomness in human actions, with the ultimate objective of guaranteeing superior QoE in resource-limited mobile networks. In this special issue, we focus on fundamental problems involving human activities and interactions with future mobile networks. We invite submissions of high-quality original technical papers, which have not been published previously. The topics in this call include but are not limited to the following areas: • Crowdsensing and analytics of human user data  • Human-system interaction modeling and analysis for mobile networks • Predictive control in multi-user mobile communication systems  • Online behavior-learning and control in mobile networks  • Local caching in human-intense mobile systems  • Human-intense D2D communications  • Resource allocation and optimization for 5G haptic communications Submission Guideline Authors please refer to submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guide- lines (http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information) when preparing their papers (submissions not satisfying the requirements will be rejected immediately without review).

Datum: Mon, 23 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Issue of Elsevier Vehicular Communications Datum: Thu, 19 May 2016 15:30:54 +0200 Von: Claudio Ettore Casetti <casetti(a)POLITO.IT> Antwort an: Claudio Ettore Casetti <casetti(a)POLITO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (apologies if you receive multiple copies) SPECIAL ISSUE OF ELSEVIER VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS JOURNAL ON “Internet of Vehicles” The Special Issue will address the needs of first generation vehicular networking technologies and applications to go beyond present-day systems. One such area is automated vehicles where the communication needs will be twofold: One for cooperatively perceiving the environment, and the other for collectively deciding on maneuvers. Such connected autonomous vehicles would not only require reliable group communications, but also would rely on group intelligence where they may need to coordinate their actions (as a vehicular cloud). Another emerging area is the view of cars as sensor platforms that monitor the external environment (traffic, pollution, etc.) as well as the internal CAN bus and cabin activities. In this view the cars become part of an IoV (Internet of Vehicles) and provide useful information not only to other cars, but also to stakeholders in the Internet (e.g., automakers, insurance companies, content providers, etc.). In this view, one can exploit the informati! on capture, processing and communication resources not only of running cars, but also of parked cars in the context of smart cities (e.g., using vehicles as data capture, storage and delivery instruments). The large collected information will offer important insight, through machine learning, on vehicular grids and smart city operations. Topics of interest include communication issues related to (but are not limited to): • Vehicular clouds, group intelligence • Software defined networking and virtualization for vehicles • Heterogeneous/hybrid networking techniques for next generation vehicular communications • Collective perception techniques for automated vehicles • Collective decision making for automated vehicles • Services utilizing resources of vehicles • Security for connected vehicles • Positioning and addressing of vehicles • Use of big data and cloud for automated vehicles • IoV in the general context of IoT • Mining big vehicular data for smart city services • Use of cellular systems for vehicular networking Submission Format and Guideline All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide to Authors” at: www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/622893/authorinstruct….

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: ACM BuildSys 2016 (November 16-17, 2016 Stanford, California) Datum: Thu, 19 May 2016 02:28:56 +0000 Von: Pine Liu <pine(a)cmu.edu> An: Pine Liu <pine(a)cmu.edu> Dear Colleagues, Please see below the Call for Papers for ACM BuildSys 2016. We enthusiastically look forward to your submissions on advancements in systems for any aspect of the built environment. Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. 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://buildsys.acm.org/2016/ 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 ** For the abstract registration, you only need to enter the title of the paper, the list of authors and their email addresses, the PC conflicts, and a brief abstract (~150-250 words). After registering the paper's abstract, you will have an additional week to upload the PDF file of the paper (either a 10-page Full paper or a 4-page Notes paper). 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.
