CFP in PDF : <http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tetcsi_etdm.…> http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tetcsi_etdm.… We live in a world in which natural and man-made disasters (such as earthquakes, hurricanes, terrorist attacks, and industrial accidents) often occur. These disasters are so sudden in nature, so causing loss of human lives and interruption of essential public services (such as health care, electricity, water, transportation and communication). Disaster management aims to reduce or avoid potential losses from hazards, ensure prompt and appropriate assistance to victims and achieve a rapid and effective recovery. In recent years, new computing/communication technologies have emerged to improve the efficiency of disaster management; for example, crowdsourcing has been applied in the Nepal earthquake to collect the latest information from earthquake-affected areas and create a dynamic map that shows the locations in which aid and relief are needed. Although some preliminary attempts have been made to apply emerging technologies for disaster management, there are many open challenges that need to be addressed to fully exploit the potentials of these promising technologies. Various technologies must be considered in the entire disaster management process and its many phases, including prevention, preparedness, relief and recovery. Although disasters cannot often be prevented, new technologies must be explored to predict and prepare through robust and resilient infrastructures. After a disaster occurs, advanced technologies are needed to assist in searching and rescuing victims. Since power and communication are usually interrupted, it is important to quickly recover communication using energy-efficient technologies, so that processing of information can take place; furthermore, good planning and scheduling can also help to quickly recover from a disaster. This special issue focuses on covering the most recent research results that apply emerging technologies and address challenges related to disaster management. Topics of interest include but not limited to: - Social networks for disaster management - Victim localization and searching - Resilient network/communication and processing under a disaster environment 、 - Resource planning and allocation in a disaster environment - Energy-efficient technologies for computing/communication for disaster - Sensing technologies for disaster management - Robotics for disaster management - Big data for disaster management - New devices/technologies for disaster management Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

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 - IoP protocols and services in developing regions - Privacy, security and trust mechanisms for IoP based on HISB models - Human-centric, inter-disciplinary IoP solutions for IoT scenarios - 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 URL, or contact the workshop chairs at iopw2016 <at> iit <dot> cnr <dot> it PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages (IEEE two-column format, 10pt). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Please follow the submission link at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifipiopw2016 EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS ---------------------------------------- Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier), in a special section on Internet of People.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] DEADLINE EXTENSION: Elsevier COMNET Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems for Mobile Opportunistic Networking Datum: Mon, 18 Jan 2016 04:38:03 -0500 Von: Annalisa Socievole <socievolea(a)DIMES.UNICAL.IT> Antwort an: Annalisa Socievole <socievolea(a)DIMES.UNICAL.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, the deadline for the Elsevier - Computer Networks Journal Special Issue on Cyber Physical Systems for Mobile Opportunistic Networking has been extended to January 31. You can find more information below. Kind regards, Annalisa Socievole ___________________________________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier - Computer Networks Journal Special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems for Mobile Opportunistic Networking ___________________________________________________________________________ The pervasive presence of mobile personal devices with communication and computation capabilities together with the massive use of online social network systems (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, LinkedIn, etc.) are increasingly creating a cyber-physical space where users can interact exploiting and generating information. Enriched with several sensing capabilities and networking interfaces, today’s portable devices are enabling new ways of communication including Mobile Networking in Proximity (MNP). This network mode complements the classic scenario with Internet coverage enlarging the range of functionalities of these devices through short-range communications (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi Direct, etc.) in situations where Internet may not be available. When two devices are in proximity, they could still share information without the need of continual Internet connectivity just exploiting the meeting opportunities and activating an opportunistic hop-by-hop forwarding towa! rds the destination. In this view, the social-aware or social-inspired mobile networking research is increasingly underlining the benefits and the need of having knowledge of the social behavior of users for the MNP design. On one hand, the social behavior of mobile nodes can be extracted from mobility. On the other hand, also online social network interactions may provide information about user’s social behavior. As such, the convergence between the two worlds, the physical offline one made by mobile devices and the cyber online one made by the online social networks is getting more and more important, opening a novel and interesting research field with many challenging issues. The goal of this Computer Networks Special Issue is to solicit the research closely related to the mobile and social networking reporting advances on approaches, methods, and applications envisioning and addressing the challenges in this field. Topics of Interest __________________ * Social-aware modeling, design and development of routing algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Trust, security and privacy, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems and key management algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Social metrics for network operation * Participatory mobile sensing, crowd sourcing and social media mining integration algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Application of mixed physical and online social network sensing * Comparison of human social behavior in online and offline social networks over MNP and its evolution over time * Impact of online social behavior on MNP algorithms * Design of cyber-physical applications for MNP based on behavioral models * Graph analysis applied to cyber-physical MNP * Novel distributed solutions for designing, supporting and operating cyber-physical MNP * Real experiences and experiments with cyber-physical MNP Submission Details __________________ Submissions will be judged based on their originality, novelty, and quality.

These devices typically operate using energy harvested from their environment e.g., RF, solar, vibration, etc. When energy is intermittently available, IPDs can perform computation, use peripheral devices (e.g., sensors), and communicate (e.g., via backscatter). These devices currently operate at approximately 10 microJ/Byte energy consumption, enabling today's devices to support simple, short-lived, primarily isolated applications. With improvements in computer architectures, hardware and software systems, the communications stack, emerging memory technologies, and energy harvesting and transfer, we envision devices that operate in the sub-nJ/Byte range, supporting long-running, sophisticated, sensor-rich, widely-communicating applications.

The participants find here a dedicated place for getting a constructive feedback by senior scientists and they benefit from tutorials on transversal aspects of a research activity (e.g. publication strategies, paper reviewing, research presentation design). By taking part in a dedicated workshop, the PhD students are invited at an early stage to present and motivate their work as well as their research plans. Finally, by being involved in practical hands-on sessions, PhD students and young researchers will get an up-to-date knowledge combined with basic skills on emerging technologies. This way, AIMS acts as a complementary piece in the set of international conferences in the network and service management community. AIMS 2016 is centered on the theme of management and security in the age of hyper-connectivity. New paradigms, smart and fully distributed algorithms, as well as large-scale virtualization have to be investigated to design scalable and resilient frameworks able to deal with more complex, more dynamic and hyper-connected environments, from cloud infrastructures to the Internet of Things. The design, monitoring, configuration and protection of the next generation of networked systems in an efficient, secure, and smart manner are crucial to commercially viable and successful networks and services.

Terms such as "cloudlets," "micro data centers," and "fog" have been used in the literature to refer to these small, edge-located data centers. They all represent counterpoints to the theme of consolidation and massive data centers that has dominated discourse in cloud computing. New challenges and opportunities arise as the consolidation of cloud computing meets the dispersion of edge computing. SEC2016 is a new conference that focuses on them.
