-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] MobiSys2016 - Call for Workshop Papers Datum: Wed, 16 Mar 2016 16:59:17 +0000 Von: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> Antwort an: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG MobiSys 2016 - Call for Workshop Papers June 26 and 30, 2016 Singapore http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/workshops.php The 14th ACM International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (MobiSys 2016) is organizing 6 high-quality workshops and a PhD Forum, covering distinct areas and hot topics in the area of mobility and mobile systems. MobiSys workshops solicit short papers (6 pages), posters and demos. Accepted papers will be published In the ACM Digital Library as part of the overall conference proceedings. In addition, all accepted papers will be offered the opportunity to present their work in the main conference demo / poster session (this will greatly increase the number of attendees who see your work). The list of workshops (with deadlines) are below. Please consider submitting your work to the most appropriate venues. * DroNet 2016 – 2nd Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications for Civilian Use * MobiGames 2016: 3rd Workshop on Mobile Gaming * WearSys 2016: Workshop on Wearable Systems and Applications * Workshop on IoT of Health * MOBIDATA 2016: 1st ACM MobiSys Workshop on Mobile Data * 3rd Workshop on Physical Analytics (WPA) * PhD Forum ================================================================== Like our Facebook and Twitter to get the latest information! * Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mobisys2016/ * Twitter https://twitter.com/mobisys2016 ================================================================== DroNet 2016 – 2nd Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications for Civilian Use Micro and nano aerial vehicles (MAVs and NAVs), often referred to as drones, are unmanned aerial vehicles of various forms, such as small quadrocopters, airplanes, balloons, or tiny flapping wing vehicles. 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 and unpublished work not currently under review by another technical journal/magazine/conference. We welcome in particular also conctributions from interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication challenges or requirements to the audience. For more information, please visit the Workshop website at:http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/workshops/DroNet<http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/workshops/DroNet/index.html> Program Chairs Kuan-Ta Chen (Academia Sinica) Karin Anna Hummel (JKU Linz) Claudio E. Palazzi (University of Padua) Important Dates Submission deadline (paper, demo, poster): April 4, 2016 Notification deadline: April 25, 2016 Camera-ready deadline: May 9, 2016 Workshop date: June 26, 2016 MobiGames 2016: 3rd Workshop on Mobile Gaming Mobile games have consolidated their position as dominant contents over mobile platforms, scoring over $1.7B via upfront and in-app purchases through AppStore and accounting for nearly 1/3 of the time spent on mobile devices<http://www.flurry.com/bid/109749/Apps-Solidify-Leadership-Six-Years-into-th…>, more than any other app categories. As a result, gaming and mobile phones have formed a virtuous cycle: gaming has led manufacturers to introduce better resolution displays and more powerful processors, and these have in turn have pushed the boundaries of gaming possible on mobile devices. The cycle continues to create another, i.e., that of desire-challenge; encouraged by the attained success, games actively incorporate state-of-the-art technologies from diverse areas, e.g., wearable sensing devices, head-mounted displays, virtual and augmented realities, and cloud computing techniques, which in turn enlarges the expectation for gaming experiences, and hence, further generates new, more complex challenges. This new field of research is highly interdisciplinary and many of the related technologies have roots in other communities. However, introducing them to common constraints imposed by mobility and gaming creates rooms to share interests and challenges. The research challenges span a broad spectrum of gaming content design, technologies for devices, severs, and networks, and user and social impacts, including new interaction and experience design, novel gaming modalities, achieving PC-like graphics, reducing the energy consumption of games, more responsive user input on touch screens, fast-action multiplayer over cellular, virtual and augmented reality games, and the use of MEMS sensors to bridge the gap between the physical world and the virtual game world, etc. Many SIGMOBILE members are actively engaged in research on mobile gaming, as well as those from other SIGs. The goal of this workshop is to provide interested researchers from diverse related areas a lively inter-disciplinary forum to share and discuss recent achievements, radical ideas and the challenges that lie ahead in the field of mobile gaming. For more information, please visit the Workshop website at: http://nclab.kaist.ac.kr/mobigames2016/ Program Chairs Junehwa Song (KAIST) Teo Chor Guan (SUTD) Important Dates Submission deadline: April 4, 2016 Notification deadline: April 18, 2016 Camera-ready deadline: May 9, 2016 Workshop date: June 26, 2016 WearSys 2016: Workshop on Wearable Systems and Applications WearSys workshop focuses on advances and discussions on how wearable technologies can shape mobile computing, systems and applications research. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to bring together researchers and design experts to discuss how wearable technologies have, and can, complement mobile systems research, and vice-versa. It also aims to provide a launchpad for bold and visionary ideas for wearable systems research. The WearSys workshop comes at a critical time-juncture where wearable devices are proliferating commercially, and when mobile systems research is increasingly adopting wearable devices; mostly for primary and auxiliary sensing. The off-the-shelf availability of wearable devices today has only improved and shaped new directions for mobile and wireless systems research. This is an exciting time where wearables are seeming to spearhead advancements in technology through inter-disciplinary research among a broad spectrum of disciplines such as wireless systems, health, fashion, energy – to name a few. We hope that this workshop will serve as a catalyst for advancements in mobile and wearable systems technology as well as present a clear sense of direction for the research community to proceed in this space.

The multitude of sensors that surround us in the form of smartphones, wearable devices, and infrastructure (workstation devices, WiFi, iBeacon, etc.) is a core enabler of this paradigm shift, and allows fine-grained sensing and inference of the user’s context, physiological attributes, and needs. Such sensing and detection, in tandem with intelligent intervention and persuasion techniques provide a compelling closed-loop healthcare technology for consumers. This technology need not be confined to a single application or a device, and in fact must be a part of the cyber-physical ecosystem that surrounds the user, thus realizing the “IoT of health” vision. Internet of things (IoT) enabled healthcare segment is expected to hit $117 billion by 2020. This workshop focuses on bringing to the fore the key research challenges, systems, devices, and methods to enable the “IoT of Health” vision. The workshop will include discussions on different perspectives emerging from designing low-level sensors/devices, inference/analytics on sensing data, along with intelligent persuasive interventions/feedback techniques. Also, the workshop will have an active participation from clinicians, behavioural scientists, systems researchers, as well as entrepreneurs.

The capabilities and features of modern mobile technologies and the associated benefits and opportunities are not well explored yet. Mobile applications and services come with a range of technical, legal, societal and ethical challenges unseen in previous computing paradigms and networked systems. These range from excessive usage of bandwidth and power, to aggressive collection, management and careless share of personal information. Long term and sustainable growth in this space is dependable on the ability of the research, industry, and the developer community to address these issues with the user in mind. In this workshop we will bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners to present their latest research in the space of mobile data. We will aim to provide a forum for discussing early work, novel approaches, and controversial ideas in use of mobile data and systems and design of technologies that address the mentioned challenges. For more information, please visit the Workshop website at:http://sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/workshops/mobidata<http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/workshops/mobidata> Program Chairs Narseo Vallina-Rodriguez (International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley) Hamed Haddadi (Queen Mary University of London) David R. Choffnes ?(Northeastern University) Important Dates Submission deadline: April 11, 2016 Notification deadline: April 25, 2016 Camera-ready deadline: May 9, 2016 Workshop date: June 30, 2016 3rd Workshop on Physical Analytics (WPA) The 3rd edition of this workshop (successfully organized at Mobisys the previous two years) is motivated by the observations that people spend a significant part of their daily lives performing a variety of activities in the physical world—travelling to places (including commuting to/from work using public or private transport), performing activities at various locations (e.g., exercising in the gym, eating at restaurants) , interacting with various physical objects and artefacts (e.g., touching or picking up products at a retail store, or browsing through books at a library), being subject to various audiovisual stimuli (e.g., listening to announcements at transit hubs or watching advertisements on public displays) and interacting with other people (in groups, as part of crowds or one-on-one). A rich variety of infrastructure, mobile and (now) wearable sensors, and associated analytics tools, can provide innovative ways to capture and annotate such behaviors and interactions. These activities and interactions contain a wealth of information about user behavior, preferences, attitudes and interests, that, if harnessed, can benefit both users and consumer-facing businesses. The 3rd Workshop on Physical Analytics will offer a unified forum that brings researchers and industry practitioners together to explore (a) the technologies (current and emerging) that can enable unobtrusive capture of such individual and collective physical world behavior, and (b) the real-world opportunities for commercial applications and services (e.g., in retail, insurance or healthcare) that leverage upon such understanding of physical world behavior. A particularly interesting question relates to the generalizability of such analytics tools—i.e., whether we can develop a set of common technologies and methods for capturing and understanding physical behavior across such diverse physical locations. We emphasize again the broad scope of the proposed workshop—while topics such as multimedia sensing, localization, wearable computing, activity recognition and privacy are undoubtedly parts of the emerging research agenda, the focus will be on exploring how these components can be harnessed holistically to capture useful real-world physical behavior of users.

By directly addressing information, ICN supports mobile users and mobile networked devices, offers a higher-level communication service to applications, and promotes authentication and efficiency in the transmission and dissemination of information. Over the last few years, a global research and development community has grown around the idea of ICN. ICN 2016 is the third edition of the ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking, the premier international forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in information centric networking. ACM ICN 2016 will be a single-track conference featuring paper and poster presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations. In addition to the "best paper award", ACM ICN 2016 will give this year a "best demo award" (based on community judging by registered participants), as well as a "best dataset award" (for poster submissions qualifying for this category). The Technical Program Committee of ACM ICN 2016 invites high-quality submissions describing unpublished research results in all aspects of ICN. The third edition on ACM ICN will especially welcome work that reflects the maturity of ICN field, under several angles, including for instance interoperability, architectural comparison with quantitative assessment, and critical reassessment of previous work with particular emphasis on contributions to architectural designs and reproducible experimental evaluations. Topics of interest include: - Application programming interfaces (APIs) for ICN and their evaluation - Applications of ICN - Architecture design and evaluation - Caching - Comparison of different ICN architecture designs - Critical analysis of previous work in ICN - Deployments of ICN - Economics and business models - Evaluation methodology and metrics - Experience from implementation - Feasibility studies of ICN for high speed networking - ICN support for ad hoc, direct peer-to-peer communication - Implementation strategies for ICN - Interoperability across ICN architectures - Management in ICN - Opportunities for ICN in the developing world - Privacy - Routing in ICN - Scalability analysis of ICN - Tools, experimentation facilities, and measurement methodology for ICN - Transport issues in ICN - Trust management and access control Submission instructions Papers submitted for consideration must not have been already published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the consideration period. Specifically, authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism and the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions. ACM ICN 2016 invites two kind of submissions, namely Full-paper and Short-paper submissions. All submissions must be in English and in PDF format. Submissions that do not comply with these instructions will be rejected without review. Papers must be submitted electronically through the ICN 2016 submission site. Please refer to the detailed submission instructions that are reported on the ACM ICN 2016 website. Full-papers can be up to 10 pages in length following the ACM SIGCOMM format, and should convey results of mature research. Short-papers can be up to 6 pages in length and should report on cross-disciplinary work, or less mature work not qualifying for a full submission. Papers with doctoral students as first authors are particularly encouraged. Note: Submissions exceeding the 6 pages length will be considered as full-papers. Submissions will be reviewed and evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. The program committee as a whole will make final decisions about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference. A "best paper award" will be attributed from the program committee to one among the accepted papers in each of the Full paper and Short paper tracks. The program committee may propose that authors either 1) revise papers of special merit and resubmit them to an ICN'16 workshop for consideration, or 2) present their work with a poster accompanied by a 2-page extended abstract. Please notice that ACM ICN 2016 also have a specific call for proposals for workshops, demos, tutorials and panel sessions. Important Dates Paper Registration Deadline (Long and Short): May 7, 2016 (hard deadline) Paper Submission Deadline (Long and Short): May 15, 2016 (hard deadline) Acceptance Notification: July 7, 2016 Camera Ready Due: August 15, 2016 Conference dates: September 26-28, 2016 CALL FOR POSTERS, DEMOS, and DATASETS The ICN poster and demo sessions are intended to showcase works-in-progress. Topics of interest are the same as those listed in the main track CFP. We strongly encourage both student and industry submissions. Both demos and posters should be accompanied by a 2 page extended abstract, which will be published in the conference proceedings. Abstract for posters, demos and datasets can be submitted via the ICN 2016 submission website. Preparation of Posters You are not required to submit the poster initially. Instead, you should submit a 2 page extended abstract. If the abstract is accepted, you will then be asked to prepare the poster. The abstract should clearly state: (a) the problem being addressed, (b) what makes this problem interesting, (c) your approach, and (d) the key contribution. Acceptance is based on a peer review process of all abstracts. A poster should be of size 32 inches x 42 inches (this is between A0 and A1) in portrait mode. It should be visually appealing, portraying ideas primarily via diagrams rather than text. The poster will be displayed on easels. The organizers will supply the foam backing and a method to mount the posters to the foam backing In particular, we call for posters that include accompanying datasets shared with the community. The aim is to collect and share datasets that can hopefully become a common ground for evaluation in the ICN community. Such posters will be eligible for a "best dataset award". Preparation of Demos You are required to submit a 2 page extended abstract, which describes the demo. The extended abstract should clearly state: (a) the problem being addressed and why it is important, (b) the approach taken and the design of the demo, (c) the key contribution and (d) any special technical requirements. If accepted, it is strongly recommended that a poster supporting the demo is produced. Acceptance is based on a peer review process of all abstracts. A "best demo award" will be given this year, based on community judging by registered participants A demo should be self contained and ideally interactive. Accepted demos will be given a table (6 feet by 30 inches), a power supply (100V TypeA) and WiFi Internet access(NAT only) by default. Details regarding poster preparation are described above. Important Poster and Demo Dates Poster and Demo Submission Deadline: July 8, 2016 Notification of Acceptance: July 29, 2016 Camera Ready Due: August 15, 2016 Conference: September 26-28, 2016 ACM Information Centric Networking (ICN) 2016 CALL FOR TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/2016 CALL FOR TUTORIALS Following last year's successful tutorials, ACM ICN 2016 solicits proposals for half- or full-day tutorials on topics relevant to the ICN research that can help the audience gain further understanding of this new and exciting area.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on IoT-SoS in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM June 2016, Coimbra, Portugal (EXTENDED DEADLINE 24 March) Datum: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 08:43:09 +0200 Von: Elias Tragos <etragos(a)ICS.FORTH.GR> Antwort an: Elias Tragos <etragos(a)ICS.FORTH.GR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email =================================================================================== *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Workshop on IoT-SoS: Internet of Things Smart Objects and Services* *in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2016 * *Coimbra, Portugal, June 21 - 24, 2016* *http://www.ics.forth.gr/tnl/IoT-SoS-2016/* <http://www.ics.forth.gr/tnl/IoT-SoS-2016/> =================================================================================== OVERVIEW =========== The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further emphasized. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, three of the most important challenges are: (1) Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. (2) The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. (3). Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users’ data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving “by design”. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. TOPICS OF INTEREST =================== We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work. Topics include, but are not limited to: • System architectures for the IoT/M2M • Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications • Modeling and simulation of large¬scale IoT/M2M scenarios • Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M • Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications • Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications • Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices • Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing • Testbeds for the IoT/M2M • Security, privacy and Trust in the IoT/M2M context • Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes and pilots • Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities IMPORTANT DATES =================== *Paper Submission (extended): by March 24, 2016* Notification of Acceptance: by April 15, 2016 Camera-ready Paper Due: by April 29, 2016 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ====================== The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] All Things Cellular 2016 with ACM MobiCom Datum: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 12:40:37 +0000 Von: Mahesh K. Marina <mahesh(a)ED.AC.UK> Antwort an: Mahesh K. Marina <mahesh(a)ED.AC.UK> Organisation: The University of Edinburgh An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.) 2016 Workshop on All Things Cellular: Operations, Applications and Challenges http://networks.inf.ed.ac.uk/atc Co-located with ACM MobiCom 2016 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2016/ October 3-7 2016, New York, USA IMPORTANT DATES Paper registration / Abstract submission: May 24, 2016 Paper submission: May 31, 2016 Acceptance notification: July 8, 2016 Camera-ready due: July 15, 2016 SCOPE We are living in an increasingly connected mobile world, where smartphones and tablets are prevalent, wearable devices are growing, and the “Internet of Things” is permeating our lives. The number of mobile applications such as Apple Siri, Google Now, and Yelp is rapidly growing, and mobile connectivity is used for everything from Google Glass to vehicle fleet tracking. These applications and services have rapidly enriched our lives, particularly because much of the mobile ecosystem is vibrant and conducive to open innovation. An important part of this ecosystem is the underlying connectivity provided by cellular networks. While innovations in mobile applications have thrived, innovations in the underlying cellular systems are more limited. This is partially caused by the closed and monolithic nature of these networks, where the core design and operational challenges are typically not accessible to the broader research community. Specifically, research in mobile cellular networks has been hampered by the fact that academic researchers typically do not have access to radios, mobile protocol stacks, management tools, and realistic cellular network traces. As a result, until recently most wireless networking research was limited to Wi-Fi. The emergence of cellular mobile test networks is slowly changing this state of affairs and there is widespread optimism in the research community that we are at a tipping point where the interest of the research community will align with commercial and regulatory interests to foster innovation in cellular networks. As mobile cellular networks becoming more software based and flexible to enable technology innovation towards next generation mobile networks, it also paves the way for a wider research community to focus on cellular networks. To continue to nurture this scene change, this workshop aims to bring together mobile network operators, equipment vendors, regulators and industrial/academic researchers to discuss emerging problems, challenges, and potential solutions in this domain. To facilitate this discussion and engage stakeholders, we are soliciting technical papers, including position papers, that are no more than 6-pages long in the standard ACM two-column, 10 point format. Early work that stimulates discussions is also strongly encouraged. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Publication at the All Things Cellular workshop does not preclude later publication. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics: * Radio resource allocation and usage profiling * Cellular network architecture and its evolution * Understanding and modeling cellular data traffic * Billing and pricing models * Cellular network security and privacy issues * Cellular network management * Cellular network measurements and measurement frameworks * Mobility * Energy efficiency * Spectrum shortage * Protocol design * Algorithms to improve performance and efficiency * Software-defined networking in cellular networks * Mobile network specific abstractions for network programmability * Mobile network function virtualization * Mobile network slicing * Mobile and wearable applications on cellular networks * Machine-to-machine services on cellular networks * Internet of Things in cellular networks * Hetnets, small cell architectures, fronthaul and backhaul solutions SUBMISSION Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal.
