-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] [ACM CHANTS 2016] First Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 29 Mar 2016 13:34:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <chants16_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: itc(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).

Yet, despite the tremendous promise, the medical devices are still burdened by complex design, safety assurance, and tendency to operate independently. Medical Cyber-Physical Systems are safety-critical, interconnected, intelligent systems of medical devices. The combination of embedded software controlling the devices, networking capabilities, unique sensing and actuation technologies, and complicated physical dynamics exhibited by patient bodies highlights some of the specific research challenges for this distinct class of cyber-physical systems. As such systems become increasingly complex, interconnected, and interoperating, the major challenge is how to assure and improve the safety, security, efficiency and reliability of medical cyber-physical systems. *Scope, Description, and More Information* This special issue seeks papers describing significant research contributions in the domain of medical cyber-physical systems; each paper should show enough evidence of contributions to medical cyber-physical systems applications and systems in practice. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Case studies and experience reports for medical cyber-physical systems * Infrastructure support for high-confidence medical cyber-physical systems, including architectures, platforms, middleware, resource management, QoS * Medical device Plug-and-Play operation and interoperability * Control and sensing in medical cyber-physical systems for physiological closed-loop treatment - assuring safety and effectiveness for systems with varying degree of caregiver supervision * Programming models and tools for high-confidence medical systems * Modeling and analysis of safety and reliability properties of medical cyber-physical systems * Caregiver and patient modeling, including high fidelity organ/patient models for the design and validation of medical cyber-physical systems * Evidence-based validation and certification for high-confidence medical cyber-physical systems. *Schedule* * Full paper submission deadline: July 31, 2016 * First author notification: December 1, 2016 * Revised paper due: February 1, 2017 * Final author notification: March 15, 2017 * Expected publication: Fall, 2017 For further information, please contact MedicalCPS(a)duke.edu <mailto:MedicalCPS@duke.edu>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you do not want to receive future emails about publishing in ACM journals, send an email to mktg2(a)hq.acm.org <mailto:mktg2@hq.acm.org> with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the subject.

We invite mature and early works using traditional and new methodologies, and especially works that challenge conventional wisdom in relationship between traffic monitoring, security and privacy. We seek submissions that treat all aspects of measurement, security and privacy across the networking stack, distributed applications and services and especially encourage works that involve new and emerging systems, applications, and environments. The importance of data increases from one year to the next, and we have witnessed significant changes in technologies related to generation, collection, transmission, analysis and storage of data, including virtualization and cloud technologies, big data processing and storage systems. The shear volume of data poses challenges to traditional measurement and monitoring techniques, as well as transmission into analysis systems, where so much data is generated that it cannot be copies, transmitted or stored before processing that includes downsizing. As data becomes more important, more precise and detailed extraction from network traffic and applications is necessary. Often times, considerations for security and privacy preservation are lacking or come later as a secondary concern. A question arises how to build powerful measurement and monitoring systems that generate valuable data without compromising security and privacy of consumers, and increasingly IoT devices, that generate it. In fact, many measurement and monitoring systems do not have built-in privacy and security protection mechanisms and data is sanitized off-line or during post-processing. On the other hand, some systems are built with only security or privacy in mind so that effective measurement and monitoring of those systems is impossible. We invite the measurement, monitoring, security and privacy community to contribute original submissions that cover a broad range of topics across wired and wireless networks, with and without security and privacy aspects: *Measurement tools, techniques, design, and evaluation *Measurement of new protocols such as HTTP/2, QUIC and similar alternatives *Measurement of emerging modes of communication such as NFC and spontaneous interaction of devices *Measurement for wearables and Internet of Things *Measurement in Network Function Virtualization and Software-Defined Networking *Building Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics from network measurements *Measurement related to performance, security and privacy *Preserving security and/or privacy in measurement and monitoring systems *Preventing network intrusions and attacks on monitoring and measurement systems *Detecting vulnerabilities in network systems *Anonymization and privacy preservation *Building secure and privacy-preserving monitoring systems and infrastructures *Privacy enhancing technologies *Privacy and anonymity in the Web, cloud systems, online social networks, mobile networks, P2P networks *Privacy in identity management systems *Design, performance, and measurements of privacy-preserving systems *Design, performance, and measurements of secure networks *Measurement methodologies for privacy and anonymity *User profiling mechanisms *Mechanisms for processing of private data *Quantification of privacy threats and anonymity loss *Privacy challenges in smart systems *Current and emerging regulatory frameworks for privacy PAPER SUBMISSION The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions should be in PDF for-mat, written in English with a maximum paper length of eight printed pages (IEEE Transactions style double-column format, 10pt font size), including figures. The paper should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The submission will be handled via EDAS.
