-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [EASED] CfP EASED 2016 Datum: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:54:10 +0100 Von: Stefan Naumann <s.naumann(a)umwelt-campus.de> An: Liste "Energy Aware Software - Engineering and Development" <eased(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> * Apologies for cross-postings * Dear colleagues, we want kindly invite you to the 5th Workshop “Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development” (EASED@EnviroInfo2016). Deadline for full papers: March 31 2016 Deadline for Work in Progress, Short Contributions and Posters: July 15 2016 More information http://enviroinfo2016.org/sessions/energy-aware-software-engineering-and-de… Workshop Goals and Topics Software-Engineering aims at developing and evolving software systems in an economic manner, considering project specific needs and quality goals. One of these quality goals, which become more and more important, is “energy efficiency of software systems”. Improving the energy consumption of mobile devices will not only increase the uptime and battery lifespan, it will also improve the carbon footprint. Viewing energy efficiency, is not only restricted to mobile devices, it also affects e.g. embedded systems and data centers, where energy is a major factor in costs and environmental burden. Next to serious and ongoing efforts in hardware design, on operating system level, and by optimized code generation, software engineering techniques also contribute to optimizing energy consumption by improving software design: wasting energy can be avoided by e.g. removing energy code smells, improving data-base queries and storage methodologies, exchanging fast, but energy consuming components by slower but more energy efficient alternatives. The EASED workshop series on Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development, which will be held at EnviroInfo for the 5th time, focusses on the intensive presentation and discussion of methods and technologies to optimize the energy consumption of systems by improving the used software. Among others, these techniques include techniques * detecting energy smells, * optimizing code, * avoiding energy waste, * measuring energy consumption, caused by software, and * modeling software caused energy behavior of embedded systems. EASED@EnviroInfo requests for papers according the EnviroInfo paper style, e.g. presenting * online and offline approaches and techniques to estimate or measure the software related energy consumption of embedded systems and/or its components, * techniques validating improvement of energy consumption by these techniques, * models, metrics, or profiles representing the energy consumption of complex systems and their components like memory, CPU, bus systems, displays, communication interfaces, * approaches to derive energy models, metrics, or profiles from existing systems, * standardized procedures to compare and certify the energy consumption of software intensive systems, and experience reports on applying these techniques and procedures Proceedings of the workshop will be published within the EnviroInfo proceedings. Quality Characteristics and Workshop Management Workshop submissions will be handled by the EnviroInfo submission system. Submissions will be selected based on their scientific contribution to the workshop´s topics and their potential to stimulate intensive discussions on the energy-efficiency on software intensive systems. Format of the Workshop The EASED workshop series are carried out as discussion-intensive workshops, to provoke intensive collaborations among the participants, so discussions within the presentations are welcome. Next to presenting papers, further discussion sessions will be planned to set up and establish intensive collaborations between the participants, maybe to initiate further common research activities.

According to an "anti-Copernican" view, humans are put back at the centre of the "Internet universe", whenever they are in the loop of cyber-world services. Applications, middlewares, but even Internet services and network protocols are more and more designed incorporating Human Individual and Social Behavioural (HISB) models. This is particularly the case when users' personal devices are themselves the network, or provide services to each other such as in mobile self-organising networks, because devices become the "proxies" of their users in the cyber world. Interestingly, similar approaches are also explored in Internet technologies in developing scenarios, where users' participation is often exploited as another resource for networking services. This vision, that we call "the Internet of People" (IoP) generalises emerging concepts and technologies such as IoT, which put the emphasis on the communication between "machines", and adapt to the users' behaviour only as an afterthought. Designing IoP protocols, services and applications thus requires a profound inter-disciplinary approach, where "non-ICT disciplines" such as social sciences, cognitive sciences, economics, complex network sciences, impact the way Internet algorithms are conceived and defined. Note that other types of inter-disciplinary design patterns i.e., bio-inspired approaches where non-human natural behaviours are used as inspiration for network protocols and services, are out of scope. This workshop aims to stimulate research following this view, and aggregate an inter-disciplinary community of researchers around the concept of the Internet of People. Specifically, we seek papers presenting IoP approaches, addressing any layer of the canonical Internet stack or cross-layer combinations thereof, where the human behaviour is at the centre of the design. Also, we welcome submissions that analyse how the human behaviour is affected (and possibly modified) by the use of Internet systems, and how the latter can be improved or re-designed accordingly. The workshop will accept papers where quantitative evidence is available or quantitative approaches are applied. Therefore, purely methodological papers or qualitative analyses will be considered out of scope. Papers proposing novel, thought provoking ideas, possibly presenting preliminary results and analyses are also welcome. However, we do not call for position papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following - Networking IoP protocols based on HISB models - Information-centric IoP protocols based on HISB models - IoP services, service-composition and middleware solutions based on HISB models - Online Social Network services based on HISB models - Analysis and modelling of human behaviours in massively diffused Internet services, such as Online Social Networks - Complex network approaches to IoP - IoP protocols and services in developing regions - Privacy, security and trust mechanisms for IoP based on HISB models - QoE aspects in IoP - Human-centric, inter-disciplinary IoP solutions for IoT scenarios - Crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, pervasive sensing in IoP - Test and experimental results with IoP solutions - Architecture, design and implementation of IoP protocols - Modelling, analysis and characterisation of IoP solutions For any additional information please visit the workshop website at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/iopw2016/, or contact the workshop chairs at iopw2016 <at> iit <dot> cnr <dot> it BEST PAPER AWARD ---------------- IoP-W 2016 will grant a Best Paper Award sponsored by IFIP TC6.

Surrounding energy, from sources such as solar, wind, radio frequency, etc., can be collected and stored for sustainable operation, leading to a new area: battery-free systems. Getting rid of batteries, nodes can be applicable to scenarios where nodes with large volume and limited lifetime are not preferred. Such battery-free systems have great potential to function autonomously, doing sensing and communications tasks without attended operation from human after deployment. The challenging issue lies in how to coordinate the sensing and communications among battery-free nodes such that the system performance can be guaranteed. Since the energy arrival at nodes is typically hard to predict, some preliminary works have been done to design efficient energy management schemes. However, it is still pressing to design a new architecture that enables autonomous battery-free sensing and communications. The objective of this call is to bring more thoughts, effort, and applications in the related areas that may help put together a clear picture for this new area. The potential interesting topics of this call 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 The manuscript must be original and has not been under submission in any other journals or conferences. The submission will only be counted if it is submitted via the Manuscript Central website and adheres to standard ACM TECS formatting requirements. The page limit of each submission is 25.

Shladover, California PATH Program Talk title: Future Prospects for Connected Automated Vehicle Systems Talk abstract and speaker bio available at:http://smartvehicles2016.uc.pt/KeynoteTalks/ SCOPE AND OVERVIEW -------------------------------- New wave of urbanization, ever more stringent emission standards, and high pressure on improving efficiency of private and public transport have made the development of more sustainable transportation systems one of the fundamental societal challenges of the next decade. Connected vehicles are seen as one of the key enabling technologies for more efficient and sustainable transportation systems. To enable connected vehicles, it is of paramount importance to: i) design vehicular communication systems that enable road users and other actors to exchange information in real time and with high reliability; ii) enable pervasive sensing to monitor the status of vehicles and the surroundings; iii) develop data analytics tools for processing large amounts of data generated by the transportation infrastructure; iv) develop middleware platforms for information management and sharing; and v) define appropriate interaction interfaces between drivers and vehicles. The seamless integration and convergence of vehicular communication networks, information and transportation systems, and mobile devices and networks will face a number of technical, economical and regulatory challenges. To that end, SmartVehicles 2016 workshop will bring together academics, researchers, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of networking, communications, data management, and applications to realize vehicular mobility systems that are more connected, efficient, and safe.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] [CFP] ACM TOIT Special Issue on Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities Datum: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 09:30:52 +0100 Von: Fulvio Frati <fulvio.frati(a)UNIMI.IT> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receives multiple copies of this CFP] **************************************************************************** *********** ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) http://toit.acm.org/ Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities **************************************************************************** *********** As world populations concentrate in urban areas, communities worldwide face new challenges. On the one hand, cities face overcrowding, physical and environmental resource constraints and increasing pressure on the part of governments and businesses toward ensuring continuing economic growth. On the other hand, rural areas may become depopulated and have a hard time keeping up with changes in business technology and management. Connected Communities is an emerging research area investigating design, deployment and management techniques for establishing and maintaining an ICT infrastructure supporting a highly connected, data-intensive and sustainable urban community. It also considers BURD-Bridging the Urban Rural Divide - looking at means to leverage the advances in wireless and mobile communications to engage and sustain rural communities. A major objective of this research is this enabling urban and rural ICT infrastructures to seamlessly support all processes and services needed for citizens' safety, health, security and quality of life. Desirable properties of the ICT infrastructure underlying such services include (i) full scalability by elastic allocation of resources (such as sensors, actuators, virtual network and computing devices) (ii) sustainability and energy-efficiency (iii) effective real-time monitoring and control (iv) certifiable security and privacy. For example, supporting people mobility across BURD spaces requires handling in an integrated manner historic and real-time sensor data on traffic and road conditions, open data on weather, and user feedback, reconciling the need for high density of sensor network with its sustainability energy and maintenance-wise. The ACM TOIT Special Issue on "Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities" aims to provide a unique opportunity for presenting highly innovative research, unlocking the huge potential of ICT infrastructure toward establishing and running communities supporting participation, prosperity, sustainability, health and well-being. We list below some indicative topics of interest organized by themes. * Connected Communities Infrastructure and Supporting Technologies - Internet of Everything (Iox) And Anything/Everything As A Service (Xaas) For Connected Communities - Sustainable Large-Scale Sensor Networks For Urban Environments - High Performance Computing/Networking For Sensor Data Processing - Service Frameworks for Connected Communities - Privacy-Preservation In The Urban Infrastructure - Security and Resilience Of The Communications Infrastructure * Connected Communities Service Frameworks and Protocols to Integrate Rural Communities - Solutions for Urban Data Storage and Access - IoT-to-BURD Supply Chain - Ontology-Based Fusion of Smart City Datasets - Connected Community Governance and Management * Connected Communities Applications - Citizen Participation and E-Democracy - Healthcare and Lifestyle Data Processing and Analysis - Support for Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Cloud-Based Analytics for Urban Decision-Making - Real-Time Scalable Analytics for Large-Scale Datasets ** Deadlines Submissions: April 30th, 2016 First decisions: July 15th, 2016 Revisions: October 1st, 2016 Final decisions: December 1st, 2016 Publication materials due: January 1st, 2017 ** Sunmission To submit a paper,please follow the instructions on http://toit.acm.org/submission.html ** Guest Editors - Ernesto Damiani, Khalifa University,UAE http://www.kustar.ac.ae/pages/prof-ernesto-damiani - Ryszard Kowalczyk, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/centres/success/iat/tiki-index.php?page=rkowalczy k - Gerard Parr, University of Ulster, UK https://www.ulster.ac.uk/staff/gp.parr.html ** Contact Please send queries about this CFP to toit.asc.ge(a)gmail.com ** ACM TOIT Editor in Chief Munindar P.Singh Department of Computer Science North Carolina State University mpsingh(a)acm.org http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/mpsingh/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Technical Committee http://committees.comsoc.org/itc/ To subscribe or unsubscribe: https://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1
