-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiArch 2016 - Call for Papers - New York, USA - Submission deadline: May 15, 2016 Datum: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 16:37:02 -0400 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> 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 Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on People-centric Internet of Things Datum: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 08:57:58 +0100 Von: Fernando Boavida <boavida(a)DEI.UC.PT> Antwort an: Fernando Boavida <boavida(a)DEI.UC.PT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP.) Call for papers IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on People-centric Internet of Things This CFP can be accessed via the link: http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/people-centric-internet-things <http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/people-centric-internet-things> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEATURE TOPIC PEOPLE-CENTRIC INTERNET OF THINGS CALL FOR PAPERS Internet of Things (IoT) is designed to operate in conjunction with and in service of people. Therefore, people can be viewed as an integral part of the IoT ecosystem. Although considerable work has been done in the recent past regarding IoT, many challenges have remained. In fact, most technologies and solutions for accessing real-world information are either closed, platform-specific, or application-specific. Recent efforts to define IoT reference architectures, such as IoT-A, OpenIoT, SENSEI, or FI-WARE, are important steps in the right direction, but they still lack features that are important for people-centric applications, such as adaptability, intuitiveness, and integration capabilities. So, on one hand, there is need to define an IoT architecture that goes beyond vertical solutions by integrating all required technologies and components into a common, open and multi-application platform. On the other hand, there is need to develop a set of common building blocks, middleware and services that can be used to construct people-oriented applications in an open, dynamic and more effective way into smart environments including but not restricted to smart cities, businesses, education and e-health. This Feature Topic solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, pertaining to People-Centric Internet of Things, including architectural aspects, middleware, and applications. It provides a forum for a broad range of unsolicited high quality scientific research papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to topics under consideration in this special issue. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest. This Feature Topic will focus on several topics such as: - People-IoT Interactions - Social Network Applications to Mobile Computing - Context-Aware Applications and Services - Human in the Loop - Big Data Analysis in People-centric IoT - Cloud-based People-centric IoT Applications and Environments - Security and Privacy - Prototypes, Field Experiments, Testbeds SUBMISSIONS Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines <http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines> . It is very important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the combined number of figures and tables to six. Manuscript length (introduction through conclusions, excluding figures, tables and captions) should not exceed 4,500 words. Manuscripts should be submitted through Manuscript Central at http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/ <http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/> by the manuscript submission deadline.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> Gesendet: 23. April 2016 21:54:06 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Communications Magazine Special Issue on IoT 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. The primary FT goals are to advance the understanding of the challenges faced in IoT communications, networking, distributed processing, new signal processing capabilities, software platforms and end – users devices over the next decade, and provide further awareness in the IoT research communities on these challenges, thus fostering future investigation. In addition a perspective on the business possibilities of IoT are of interest in order to enable and deploy the foreseen technical solutions. Original research papers are to be solicited in topics including, but not limited to, the following themes * Existing and future communication architectures and technologies for large IoT systems * Existing and future use cases and deployment of large IoT systems * Design and evaluation of large IoT test beds, prototypes, and platforms for consumer centric IoT application development and deployment * Identification of viable business models and related ecosystems * Solution and services supported by consumer devices * Security, Privacy and interworking issues for cooperative IoT operations * Interfaces, cross-platform communication and programmability for IoT systems * Autonomics mechanisms for QoS and performance evaluation for IoT solutions * Game-theoretic and control-theoretic mechanisms for IoT resource allocation and management * Integrating 4G and 5G wireless technologies into IoT communications and Platforms * Integration of cognitive techniques with IoT systems * Energy-efficient communications considering opportunistic policies for large IoT systems * Big data and data analytics solutions for IoT systems * Comparison and improvement of IoT communication protocols * Novel distributed techniques (e.g., Edge/Fog computing) * New sensing and actuation capabilities and devices and their applicability IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: June 15, 2016 Notification Due Date: August 15, 2016 Final Version Due Date: September 15, 2016 Feature Topic Publication Date: December, 2016 GUEST EDITORS Roberto Minerva TIM Lab, Italy roberto.minerva(a)telecomitalia.it Mohsen Guizani University of Idaho, USA mguizani(a)uidaho.edu Christos Verikoukis CTTC, Spain cveri(a)cttc.es Hausi Muller University of Victoria, Canada hausi(a)cs.uvic.ca Soumya Kanti Datta EURECOM, France dattas(a)eurecom.fr Yen-Kuang Chen INTEL, USA y.k.chen(a)ieee.org SUBMISSION Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the IoT research community.
