Pervasive sensing enables collecting and sharing information about mobile users and their surrounding environments, which promises to enhance the awareness of the cyber, physical, and social environment and thus provide essential supports, in forms of services, applications, and so forth, to our daily lives. More and more researchers started to investigate the potential of pervasive sensing in different disciplines. However, a diverse range of problems and challenges remain existent and need emerging solutions, especially on theoretical studies, practical applications, architectures, and experimental prototypes issues. The special issue aims at providing a forum for presenting the most recent advances on emerging technologies in pervasive sensing. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Architecture and framework design for pervasive sensing - Algorithmic paradigms, models, and analysis for pervasive sensing - Energy harvesting and management for pervasive sensing - Delay tolerant technologies for pervasive sensing - Security, privacy, and trust protocol design for pervasive sensing - Incentive mechanism design for pervasive sensing - Sensing data communication and sharing technologies - Big data analysis and management for pervasive sensing - Scheduling algorithm design for pervasive sensing - System/platform and prototypes development on pervasive sensing *Important Dates* Submission deadline: May 30th, 2016 Initial feedback to authors: July 30th, 2016 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: 2017 *Submission Guidelines* All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

Fwd: CfP: WS 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems'

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: WS 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems' Datum: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:54:44 +0100 Von: Kai Jakobs <kai.jakobs(a)COMSYS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: RWTH Aachen University An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ***With apologies for cross-posting*** Call for Papers Workshop 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems' in conjunction with INFORMATIK 2016 30 September 2016 The ongoing mergers of formerly separate technical sectors may eventually change the whole standardisation landscape. Examples of such mergers include e.g. Intelligent Transport Systems (ICT, transport telematics, traffic engineering), electric vehicles (ICT, automotive, power supply), e-health (ICT, medicine) and, perhaps ultimately, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS; ICT and pretty much everything else). For CPSs, hard requirements on e.g. reliability and response times imply that often technologies will need to be co-developed (as opposed to be integrated ex-post). Such co-development will require very close co-operation between the different technical disciplines. This represents a considerable problem also for standards setting. Standards Setting Organisations (SSOs) with very different cultures and from equally different backgrounds with very diverse technology life cycles will need to co-operate. On top of that, CPSs in general and specifically applications like e-health need to address issues of information security and safety and of trust up-front. The WS aims to discuss how standardisation of (e)merging technologies should be managed from a European perspective. This includes trying to find answers to questions like (among others) - How can cross-disciplinary standardisation be achieved? - Is there a need for closer collaboration between the European Standards Organisations (ESOs) and private standards consortia? If so, how could this be organised? - Could there be benefits in actively encouraging and founding (EU-led) consortia specifically targeting CPSs? - How could co-operation between ESOs and their international counterparts (ISO, IEC, ITU) be improved? - Is increased co-operation with emerging powerful players from China desirable in the field of CPSs? - How can conditions that improve the link between R&D and standardisation in the field of CPSs be established? - How can all relevant stakeholder groups be adequately involved in the process? - Which role could and should the European Commission play in this process? Submissions ----------- Please send previously unpublished manuscripts to Kai.Jakobs(a)comsys.rwth-aachen.de. Full papers (up to 14 pages) and Short Papers (up to 6 pages); both in English or German, should be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer's 'Lecture Notes in Informatics' (LNI), see (in German) https://www.gi.de/fileadmin/redaktion/Autorenrichtlinien/LNI_Vorlage_Word.d…).

They are novel mobile unmanned systems currently investigated in various mission-oriented civilian applications. Recent popular applications employing MAVs are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products (e.g., Amazon's announced drone delivery system), or video taking during sports events. Such drones are autonomous systems with a good awareness of their environment, provided by rich on board sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, lasers, GPS units and cameras, and embedded image processing. Nevertheless, all useful applications require a reliable communication link, or even rely on fleets of MAVs. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with communication aspects of micro aerial vehicles, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design for flexible aerial networks, as well as mission-oriented contributions dealing with requirements, constraints, safety issues, and regulation. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on system aspects and experimental results, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, or innovative applications. The program seeks original work of potentially interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication challenges or requirements to the audience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Drone ad-hoc networks - Aerial communication protocol design - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Communication for drone coordination - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying approaches - Integration of MAVs in mobile, pervasive systems - Positioning and localization - Autonomous flight - Vision and object tracking - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds - Micro flying systems - MAC and routing protocols for MAV fleets - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of MAVs - Mission and context-aware solutions - Mobility-aware and 3D communications - Energy-efficient operation and energy harvesting of MAVs - MAV-based sensor networks - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Human drone interaction - Acceptance, security, reliability, and privacy aspects - UAV applications, e.g., in smart city, automated map generation, entertainment, emergency, precise agriculture, social good, etc. DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal.
