Papers should be related to the construction, evaluation, application, or operation of secure systems. Theoretical papers must make a convincing argument for the relevance of the results to secure systems. All topic areas related to computer and communications security are of interest and in scope. Accepted papers will be published by ACM Press in the conference proceedings. Paper Submission Process ------------------------ Submissions must be made by the deadline of Monday, May 23, 2016 23:59 UTC-11. The review process will be carried out in two phases and authors will have an opportunity to comment on the first-phase reviews. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is not allowed. Note that submitted papers cannot be withdrawn from the process after the first phase reviews are received by authors. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference. Paper Format ------------ Submissions must be at most 12 pages in double-column ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/ proceedings-templates) including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Submissions must be anonymized and avoid obvious self-references. Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Conflicts of Interest --------------------- The program co-chairs require cooperation from both authors and program committee members to prevent submissions from being evaluated by reviewers who have a conflict of interest. During the submission process, we will ask authors to identify members of the program committee with whom they have a conflict of interest. This includes anyone with close personal or professional relationship to any of the authors, such as close family members, people from the same department/group, and recent collaborators (e.g. collaborated on a joint paper in the last two years). It also includes anyone in a position of substantial influence on (or by) the a uthors, such as advisor or advisee (at any time in the past), line-of-management relationship, grant program manager, etc. In rare cases, we will allow conflict-of-interest designation due to personal or professional animosity. In such cases, we require that in addition to marking the conflict during submission, the authors contact the program co-chairs by email and explain the reason for this conflict. Program committee members who have a conflict of interest with a paper, including program co-chairs, will be excluded from evaluation and discussion of the paper. In the case of a program co-chair, the other co-chairs who do not have conflicts will be responsible for managing that paper. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Extremecom 2016 - The Mendonoma Expedition - Call for Papers and Demos Datum: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 14:44:51 +0800 Von: CHATZOPOULOS Dimitrios <dcab(a)CSE.UST.HK> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ****************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMOS 7th Extreme Conference on Communication and Computing - The Mendonoma Expedition ExtremeCom 2016 14-19 August 2016, Manchester, Medocino county, CA, USA http://www.extremecom.org/ ****************************************************************** Scope ----- The Extreme Conference on Communication and Computing (ExtremeCom) brings together researchers and practitioners in areas related to communications in rural, remote or other extreme environments, and computing in extreme operating conditions such as extreme temperatures and energy constraints, extreme quantities ("big data"), extremely large-scale systems, and extreme levels of threat and uncertainty, in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example wireless communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, big data, distributed systems, cloud computing, business and services models, user experiences and web applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the conference. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus, Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss Alps Winter Expedition in Zurich, Switzerland, ExtremeCom 2013 - The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano region in Iceland, and ExtremeCom 2014 - The Galapagos Expedition in Ecuador, we present the ExtremeCom 2016 edition: The Mendonoma Expedition. The conference will contain 3 days of excursions in the stunning nature of coastal northern California (Mendocino county). Along the way, participants will get to see and experience the varying landscape and visit coastal areas, explore the Stornetta lands national monument, and hike to the Point Arena hot springs along the Garcia river. During these excursions, we will visit the landing site of the original trans-pacific coaxial cables, which is today one of North-America's most important transoceanic fiber landing station, as well as several deployment sites of the FurtherReach.Net rural network where participants will interact with subscribers, operators and developers of this service to learn from their experience. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such rural deployments, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. After the excursions, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. ****************************************************************** Important dates --------------- Submission deadline: May 24, 2016 Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2016 Early registration deadline: July 10, 2016 Registration deadline: July 21, 2016 Conference dates: August 14-19, 2016 ****************************************************************** Submission Guidelines --------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We will also have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers, including the prefix "Demo: " in the title. We only accept PDF files, no greater than 6 pages in length (2 pages for the demos), including text, figures and references.

Standardization is mostly complete with voluntary roll-out starting in Japan. Current generation is based mostly on broadcasting of beacons. As we go along, this first generation of vehicular networking technologies will face challenges in addressing the needs of connected vehicles and new applications that would go beyond the present day systems. One such area is automated vehicles where the communication needs will be twofold: One for cooperatively perceiving the environment, and the other for collectively deciding on maneuvers. Such connected autonomous vehicles would not only require reliable group communications, but also would rely on group intelligence where they may need to coordinate their actions (as a vehicular cloud) based on some predefined rules. Another emerging area is the view of cars as sensor platforms that monitor the external environment (traffic, pollution, etc) as well as the internal CAN bus and cabin activities. In this view the cars become part of an IOV (Internet of Vehicles) and provide useful information not only to other cars, but also to stakeholders in the Internet (e.g., automakers, insurance companies, communications services providers, content providers, etc). In this view, one can exploit the information capture, processing and communication resources not only of running cars, but also of parked cars in the context of smart cities (e.g., using vehicles as data capture, storage and delivery instruments). The information collected will be voluminous (big data) and will offer important insight, through machine learning, on vehicular grid and smart city operations. This expanded view will open up new opportunities as well as new challenges in managing the highly amorphous vehicular network structure and blending the "Internet of Vehicles" into the "Vehicles of the Internet" by making vehicular resources an integral part of the existing infrastructure. In other words, the Vehicular cloud becomes an entity of its own right and cooperates with edge clouds and Internet clouds. Potential topics of the Workshop are: - Vehicular clouds, group intelligence - Software defined networking and virtualization for vehicles - Heterogeneous/hybrid networking techniques for next generation vehicular communications - Collective perception techniques for automated vehicles - Collective decision making for automated vehicles - Services utilizing resources of vehicles - Security for connected vehicles - Positioning and addressing of vehicles - Use of big data and cloud for automated vehicles - IoV in the general context of IoT - Mining big vehicular data for smart city services - Use of cellular systems for vehicular networking Paper Submission Guidelines --------------------------- Submitted technical papers must be no longer than 6 pages including all figures, tables and references.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications Magzaine - SI on Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability Datum: Sun, 28 Feb 2016 14:56:02 -0400 Von: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ECE.UPRM.EDU> Antwort an: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ECE.UPRM.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this message +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | IEEE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS: SPECIAL ISSUE ON | | Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: | | Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ Over the past decade, we have witnessed the tremendous growth in the number of networked wireless devices, in the types of wireless and mobile applications, and in the total amount of traffic from and towards these devices. In the foreseeable future, it is expected that such a trend will continue with an unprecedented increasing rate. For instance, with the recent deployment of the fourth-generation (4G) cellular network, mobile data traffic rate over cellular networks had exceeded 2 Exabytes per month world-wide by the end of 2014. Recent studies also suggest that the mobile traffic rate could be increased 10-fold by 2019. Besides the ever-increasing mobile applications over cellular networks, many other wireless applications are emerging, including smart grid, vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), cyber-physical system (CPS), and more generally, Internet of Things (IoT). Clearly, to accommodate the fast growing demands, future wireless networks must be scalable. For the aforementioned existing and emerging wireless applications, it has been well-known that they have diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements: from low data rate IoT monitoring applications to high data rate content streaming applications, from delay sensitive real-time monitoring in smart grid and safety control in vehicular CPS to delay-tolerant IoT applications. Therefore, it has been very challenging to design and develop practical wireless networks and systems to facilitate different application demands efficiently. To address these challenges, researchers and developers in both academia and industry have put significant efforts to design various wireless networks. For example, in the past few years, the architecture of the fifth-generation (5G) cellular network has attracted significant attention, several future Internet architectures (FIAs) have also been proposed and investigated, and various architectures have been developed for smart grid, VANET, IoT, etc. Naturally, it becomes very important to investigate two issues: first, how we can flexibly deploy or configure a specific type of wireless network, and secondly, if we have multiple co-existing wireless networks, how we can enable the interoperation among them. In the literature, the importance of scalability, flexibility, and interoperability has been recognized and there are some existing studies already. However, despite the importance of these efforts, there are still many challenging issues to be addressed. For example, how to effectively accommodate more than 1 trillion networked devices world-wide in the next 10 years? How to efficiently provision services in future wireless networks such that a given system can be flexibly programmed to optimize the performance of certain applications? How to facilitate the interoperation of heterogeneous wireless networks and systems? To understand and solve these key issues, we organize this special issue in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine focusing on the scalability, flexibility, and interoperability in the design of architecture for future wireless networks. The special issue covers topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: - Architecture for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) - Flexible architecture for applications with diverse data rates - Flexible architecture for systems and applications with diverse mobility requirements - Flexible cognitive radio and spectrum access - Interoperability between future Internet and wireless networks - Interoperability among diverse wireless networks - Namespace management in heterogeneous wireless networks - Routing in large-scale multihop wireless network - Security design on wireless scalability, flexibility, and interoperability - Scalable cooperative communications and network coding - Scalable data-centric wireless network architecture - Scalable energy efficiency wireless network - Scalable social-aware wireless network architecture - Standards for scalable, flexible, and interoperable wireless networks - Wireless network for large-scale cyber-physical-system SUBMISSIONS Authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines regarding manuscript content and format.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Elias Tragos <etragos(a)ICS.FORTH.GR> Gesendet: 24. Februar 2016 17:21:03 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on IoT-SoS in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM June 2016, Coimbra, Portugal 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.
