On the one hand, cities face overcrowding, physical and environmental resource constraints and increasing pressure on the part of governments and businesses toward ensuring continuing economic growth. On the other hand, rural areas may become depopulated and have a hard time keeping up with changes in business technology and management. Connected Communities is an emerging research area investigating design, deployment and management techniques for establishing and maintaining an ICT infrastructure supporting a highly connected, data-intensive and sustainable urban community. It also considers BURD-Bridging the Urban Rural Divide - looking at means to leverage the advances in wireless and mobile communications to engage and sustain rural communities. A major objective of this research is this enabling urban and rural ICT infrastructures to seamlessly support all processes and services needed for citizens' safety, health, security and quality of life. Desirable properties of the ICT infrastructure underlying such services include (i) full scalability by elastic allocation of resources (such as sensors, actuators, virtual network and computing devices) (ii) sustainability and energy-efficiency (iii) effective real-time monitoring and control (iv) certifiable security and privacy. For example, supporting people mobility across BURD spaces requires handling in an integrated manner historic and real-time sensor data on traffic and road conditions, open data on weather, and user feedback, reconciling the need for high density of sensor network with its sustainability energy and maintenance-wise. The ACM TOIT Special Issue on "Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities" aims to provide a unique opportunity for presenting highly innovative research, unlocking the huge potential of ICT infrastructure toward establishing and running communities supporting participation, prosperity, sustainability, health and well-being. We list below some indicative topics of interest organized by themes. * Connected Communities Infrastructure and Supporting Technologies - Internet of Everything (Iox) And Anything/Everything As A Service (Xaas) For Connected Communities - Sustainable Large-Scale Sensor Networks For Urban Environments - High Performance Computing/Networking For Sensor Data Processing - Service Frameworks for Connected Communities - Privacy-Preservation In The Urban Infrastructure - Security and Resilience Of The Communications Infrastructure * Connected Communities Service Frameworks and Protocols to Integrate Rural Communities - Solutions for Urban Data Storage and Access - IoT-to-BURD Supply Chain - Ontology-Based Fusion of Smart City Datasets - Connected Community Governance and Management * Connected Communities Applications - Citizen Participation and E-Democracy - Healthcare and Lifestyle Data Processing and Analysis - Support for Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Cloud-Based Analytics for Urban Decision-Making - Real-Time Scalable Analytics for Large-Scale Datasets ** Deadlines Submissions: April 30th, 2016 First decisions: July 15th, 2016 Revisions: October 1st, 2016 Final decisions: December 1st, 2016 Publication materials due: January 1st, 2017 ** Sunmission To submit a paper,please follow the instructions on http://toit.acm.org/submission.html ** Guest Editors - Ernesto Damiani, Khalifa University,UAE http://www.kustar.ac.ae/pages/prof-ernesto-damiani - Ryszard Kowalczyk, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/centres/success/iat/tiki-index.php?page=rkowalczy k - Gerard Parr, University of Ulster, UK https://www.ulster.ac.uk/staff/gp.parr.html ** Contact Please send queries about this CFP to toit.asc.ge(a)gmail.com ** ACM TOIT Editor in Chief Munindar P.Singh Department of Computer Science North Carolina State University mpsingh(a)acm.org http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/mpsingh/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Technical Committee http://committees.comsoc.org/itc/ To subscribe or unsubscribe: https://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: WS 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems' Datum: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:54:44 +0100 Von: Kai Jakobs <kai.jakobs(a)COMSYS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: RWTH Aachen University An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ***With apologies for cross-posting*** Call for Papers Workshop 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems' in conjunction with INFORMATIK 2016 30 September 2016 The ongoing mergers of formerly separate technical sectors may eventually change the whole standardisation landscape. Examples of such mergers include e.g. Intelligent Transport Systems (ICT, transport telematics, traffic engineering), electric vehicles (ICT, automotive, power supply), e-health (ICT, medicine) and, perhaps ultimately, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS; ICT and pretty much everything else). For CPSs, hard requirements on e.g. reliability and response times imply that often technologies will need to be co-developed (as opposed to be integrated ex-post). Such co-development will require very close co-operation between the different technical disciplines. This represents a considerable problem also for standards setting. Standards Setting Organisations (SSOs) with very different cultures and from equally different backgrounds with very diverse technology life cycles will need to co-operate. On top of that, CPSs in general and specifically applications like e-health need to address issues of information security and safety and of trust up-front. The WS aims to discuss how standardisation of (e)merging technologies should be managed from a European perspective. This includes trying to find answers to questions like (among others) - How can cross-disciplinary standardisation be achieved? - Is there a need for closer collaboration between the European Standards Organisations (ESOs) and private standards consortia? If so, how could this be organised? - Could there be benefits in actively encouraging and founding (EU-led) consortia specifically targeting CPSs? - How could co-operation between ESOs and their international counterparts (ISO, IEC, ITU) be improved? - Is increased co-operation with emerging powerful players from China desirable in the field of CPSs? - How can conditions that improve the link between R&D and standardisation in the field of CPSs be established? - How can all relevant stakeholder groups be adequately involved in the process? - Which role could and should the European Commission play in this process? Submissions ----------- Please send previously unpublished manuscripts to Kai.Jakobs(a)comsys.rwth-aachen.de. Full papers (up to 14 pages) and Short Papers (up to 6 pages); both in English or German, should be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer's 'Lecture Notes in Informatics' (LNI), see (in German) https://www.gi.de/fileadmin/redaktion/Autorenrichtlinien/LNI_Vorlage_Word.d…).

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 work of potentially interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication challenges or requirements to the audience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Drone ad-hoc networks - Aerial communication protocol design - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Communication for drone coordination - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying approaches - Integration of MAVs in mobile, pervasive systems - Positioning and localization - Autonomous flight - Vision and object tracking - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds - Micro flying systems - MAC and routing protocols for MAV fleets - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of MAVs - Mission and context-aware solutions - Mobility-aware and 3D communications - Energy-efficient operation and energy harvesting of MAVs - MAV-based sensor networks - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Human drone interaction - Acceptance, security, reliability, and privacy aspects - UAV applications, e.g., in smart city, automated map generation, entertainment, emergency, precise agriculture, social good, etc. DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal. The workshop will accept full paper, poster, and demo submissions. Full papers must be no longer than 6 pages, poster and demonstration papers are limited to 2 pages.
