-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiArch 2016 - Call for Papers - New York, USA - Submission deadline: May 15, 2016 Datum: Wed, 11 May 2016 07:24:25 -0400 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> 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. MobiArch 2016 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, protocols, and technologies in the current Internet or in the future clean-slate Internet. The workshop supports all topics that target to support mobility, with an emphasis on new network design for high performance mobile applications and services, efficient support of mobile contents, software defined architecture, data-driven mobile network management, as well as cloud-aware architecture and services. Besides technical papers, we also encourage work-in-progress papers, and welcome position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST ** All aspects around architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: • Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers of the Internet protocol stack, as well as cross-layer approaches • Future Internet architecture for efficient mobility support • Mobile network management and architecture design with data analysis and learning • Software defined and/or cloud–assisted mobile networking • Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture • Impact of connected vehicles on Internet architecture design • Impact of device-to-device communications on Internet architecture design • New wireless technologies and services and their impact on the Internet architecture • Mobile data sensing and fusion • Impact of Information Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks • Seamless mobility in heterogeneous networks • Location management, positioning and data management for wireless and mobility • Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and their impact on the Internet architecture • Social, economic, scalability and deployment issues • Cognitive networks design ** IMPORTANT DATES ** • Submissions deadline: May 15, 2016 (11:59 PM, EST) • Notification of acceptance: June 19, 2016 • Camera-ready version: July 17, 2016 • MobiArch Workshop Day: October 3, 2016 ** STEERING COMMITTEE ** Xiaoming Fu, University of Goettingen Rittwik Jana AT&T Labs Research Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University Joerg Ott, Aalto University Katherine Guo, Bell Labs Research Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge Stefano Secci, UPMC ** TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE ** Fulvio Risso, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Giacomo Verticale, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Kaushik Chowdhury, Northeastern University, USA Lito Kriara, Disney Research Zurich Lixia Zhang, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Marco Fiore, CNR-IEIIT, Italy Michele Nogueira, UFPR, Brazil (Co-chair) Peter Steenkiste Carnegie Mellon University, USA Razvan Stanica INSA Lyon, France Sahar Hoteit, Centrale-Supelec, France Stefano Secci, UPMC-LIP6, France Toru Hasegawa, Osaka University, Japan Xin Wang, Stony Brook University, USA (Co-chair) Xu Chen, University of Goettingen, Germany Yong Cui, Tsinghua University, China ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ** Submissions must present original results.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL Special Issue on Fog Computing in the Internet Of Things Datum: Mon, 9 May 2016 10:35:23 -0400 Von: Wei Cheng <wcheng3(a)VCU.EDU> Antwort an: Wei Cheng <wcheng3(a)VCU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL Special Issue on Fog Computing in the Internet Of Things Background and Motivation: Fog Computing is an emerging research area that targets on providing services and satisfying customers’ needs in the space between “Ground” and “Cloud”. In the current cloud-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) model, smart devices (such as sensors, smartphones) exchange information through the Internet (routers and/or servers on cloud) to cooperate and provide services to users, which could be citizens, smart home systems, and industrial applications. Even though the cloud based IoT model describes a uniform, concise, and scalable solution for supporting IoT applications, the deployments of IoT applications on cloud, however, are facing the challenges originated from economic considerations, social concerns, technical limitations, and administrative issues. In real world, things (which could be cheap sensors) generate lots of data. Moving these big data from the network edge (end networking devices) to the network core (cloud computing servers) and vis verse naturally brings the following issues: (i) it is expensive for moving the big data through the Internet; (ii) the cost is prohibitively high when storing the big data on clouds; (iii) the Internet access may be unavailable, unreliable, and slow; (iv) the Internet access might be congested by the big data transmissions; (v) the Internet based transmissions may increase the probability of information leakage; (vi) the large number of things, which may have less or no security protection, may be easily utilized by hackers to start DDoS attacks; (vii) the administrative team may question the security, the easiness, and the availability of managing the big data saved on clouds. On the other hand, clouds may not be always necessary for implementing IoT solutions. For instances: (i) data generated by things may only be valuable for a group of users who are closely located; (ii) existing infrastructures may still be good and scaling up could be achieved by local resource sharing; and (iii) local mass data storage is already sufficient; etc. There is no doubt that the big data generated by things is surprisingly useful. Fog consists of all the smart computing/sensing systems that are around us, tied together. Typically, it includes a small data center that is placed close to the things in IoT. Fog computing is probably the most promising technology to support IoT applications while simultaneously and successfully addressing all the aforementioned challenges and issues. It adds a new dimension to IoT model for meeting the customers’ needs such as fast connection, high security, easy for management, infrastructure reuse, off load core network traffic, and scale quickly. Fog Computing are expected to support a wide range of IoT applications, including device-to-device data sharing, wearable cognitive assistance, video editing and sharing, vehicular systems, and etc. To address the arising new challenges and opportunities, we plan this feature topic issue to help both industry and academia research communities better understand the recent advances and potential research directions on the converging paths of IoT and Fog Computing. The papers in this feature topic issue will focus on the state-of-the-art research and the grant challenges in various aspects of Fog Computing for IoT.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Extended Deadline - May 13] CFP - 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things for Ambient Assisted Living (IoTAAL) - IEEE PIMRC 2016, Valencia, Spain - Sept 4, 2016 Datum: Mon, 9 May 2016 14:59:29 +0000 Von: CIPPITELLI ENEA <e.cippitelli(a)PM.UNIVPM.IT> Antwort an: CIPPITELLI ENEA <e.cippitelli(a)PM.UNIVPM.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS (apologies for multiple copies) 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things for Ambient Assisted Living (IoTAAL) In conjunction with IEEE PIMRC 2016, Valencia, Spain - Sept 4, 2016. http://www.tlc.dii.univpm.it/iotaalms/iotaal2016/ ************************************************ Extended deadline: May 13, 2016 ************************************************ MOTIVATION AND SCOPE Developed countries worldwide are facing a rapidly growing elderly population and a declining workforce, as a result of increased life expectancy and decreased birth rates. According to the United Nations, the elderly, defined as people over the age of 60, will make up 37% of the European population by 2050, from 20% in 2000. With ageing, probability increases of developing physical and cognitive impairments, requiring new and more effective ways to provide support and care. IoT technology may provide significant enhancement to quality of life for the elderly and, in general, people in need. Effective solutions for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) require appropriate ICT algorithms, architectures and platforms, that cannot leave out of consideration the development of new and innovative approaches, particularly in the area of pervasive and mobile systems. The personal communication between elderly people, their environment, and relevant groups of care givers is an important aspect in AAL; such a need for a pervasive connectivity may leverage the IoT capabilities, to connect humans to smart objects, and put smart objects at the service of users’ needs. At the same time, the realm of Active and Assisted Living may provide a way to capitalize the vast amount of research and knowledge developed up to know in the manifold aspects and facets of IoT. This workshop aims at investigating the close relationship among IoT and AAL, to identify effective approaches towards an increased Quality of Life for the current and future ageing populations. Among the different technical issues that have to be considered when designing IoT solutions for AAL, some of them emerge as critical, i.e.: low power communication technologies and energy-saving design at different layers, and in a cross-layer approach; security and privacy issues, both at the single node/object level, and in a system/platform perspective; big data, analytics, and signal processing for AAL enabled by an IoT approach; cloud and mobile cloud architectures supporting AAL through IoT. IoTAAL will bring researchers from the IoT field and the AAL field together, to foster a better common understanding, to exchange visions and latest research results addressing IoT specialization for AAL, to discuss promising new technologies and to highlight open research challenges. TOPICS OF INTEREST IoTAAL will bring researchers from the IoT field and the AAL field together to foster a better common understanding by exchanging visions and latest research results in IoT specialization for AAL, and to discuss promising new technologies as well as open research challenges in this field.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Experiences with sensor hardware integration - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Smart infrastructure support with wireless sensing technology - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field.
