It envisions a world in which the sensor devices could exist in any form factor, anywhere, in which all the sensory data will be made available to the Internet, and be readily accessible to a wide range of applications. The sensor devices are usually attached to physical objects, providing a real-time, interactive view of the physical world. Although much progress has been made at the system and sensing level, applications for these platforms are considerably lagging behind. Without compelling applications, the vision of the Internet of Things will not be realized. The 2015 International Workshop on Internet of Things towards Applications ( IoT-App'15) aims to provide a forum for researchers to present thoughts and results on IoT applications. We are looking for application descriptions, development, experiences and evaluation in a wide range of domains including, but not limited to homes, offices, medical care, vehicles, transportation, supply chains and education. Particularly, we are interested in identifying new applications that are made possible by the Internet of Things, as well as new challenges these applications will pose to the design of an Internet of Things. TOPICS of INTEREST = Novel IoT applications and services = Application-driven IoT middleware = Mobility and network connectivity in IoT applications = Cloud and/or cloudlet support for IoT applications = Machine learning, data mining and big data analytics = Energy efficiency = Security and privacy = Experiences in developing and deploying operational IoT applications and services We invite technical papers describing original ideas, ground-breaking results, and/or real-world experiences involving innovative IoT applications. Successful submissions will elaborate one or multiple desirable properties as follows: 1) Provide a quantitative analysis of outstanding systems challenges highlighted by the application; 2) Have a quantitative estimate of cost savings relative to the status quo; 3) Make a compelling case that the application will be disruptive.

Dear colleagues, The SUBMISSION DEADLINE has been extended to 28 August 2015! Best regards, Ivan From: Ivan.Ganchev Sent: 17 April 2015 20:33 To: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi Subject: [CFP Elsevier Computer Networks]: Special Issue on “Mobile Wireless Networks” CFP Elsevier Computer Networks, IF 1.282 (2013), 5-year IF 1.871 (2013) Special Issue on “Mobile Wireless Networks” Wireless networks of moving objects have drawn significant attention recently. These types of networks consist of a number of autonomous or semi-autonomous wireless nodes/objects moving with diverse patterns and speeds while communicating via several radio interfaces simultaneously. Examples of such objects include smartphones and other user mobile devices, robots, cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, sensors, actuators, etc., which are connected in some way to each other and to the Internet. With every object acting as a networking node generating, relaying and/or absorbing data, these networks may serve as a supplementary infrastructure for the provision of smart, ubiquitous, highly contextualized and customized services and applications available anytime-anywhere-anyhow. Achieving this will require global interworking and interoperability amongst objects, which is not typical today. To overcome current shortcomings, a number of research challenges have to be addressed in this area, ranging from initial conceptualization and modelling, to protocols and architectures engineering, and development of suitable tools, applications and services, and to the elaboration of realistic use-case scenarios by taking into account also corresponding societal and economical aspects. The goal of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contribution that describes original and unpublished work addressing the wireless communications and networking issues to support moving objects. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: WiNeMO Techno-Business Models WiNeMO Performance Modeling and Evaluation Protocols and Architectures for Moving Objects M2M Aspects of WiNeMO Synergy and Cooperation in Heterogeneous Networks WiNeMO Security Issues Applications and Services for Moving Objects WiNeMO Testbeds, Prototypes, and Practical Systems WiNeMO Case Studies Societal and Economical Aspects of WiNeMO Submission Details All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by three experts in the field and be evaluated with respect to the relevance to this special issue, level of innovation, depth of contribution, and quality of presentation.

A rich algorithm and protocol ecosystem has emerged too, enabling various applications with very different requirements. At the same time, real deployments of wireless sensor networks still prove to be cumbersome and not sufficiently automated. Even the best known and used algorithms and protocols need to be carefully manually tuned, in order to adapt to the environment and the application. Recently other sensing networks and applications have emerged, such as mobile sensing, crowd sensing, smartphone sensing, cyber physical systems, the Internet of Things, etc. Even if their concepts and approaches differ from each other, the real-world problems apply similarly and even extend to challenges like keeping up the interest of human users, enabling privacy and security, etc. Thus, this issue of RealWSN will extend its focus to include all relevant sensing applications. The purpose of RealWSN is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original contributions which aim to tackle the problem of development and deployment of sensing applications in the real world. ================== Workshop Scope: ================== The targeted topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensing application deployments - Software tools for characterisation, parametrisation and automatisation of sensing applications - Datasets gathered from real sensing applications - Negative results and unsuccessful deployments - Works in progress and not yet solved issues - Management of faulty and malicious data in the real world Sensing applications include, but are not limited to: - Wireless sensor and actuator networks - Mobile sensing, smartphone sensing - Crowd sensing - Cyber physical systems - Internet of Things ================== Submission Guidelines: ================== Short papers (max 4 pages) together with all relevant documentation (source code, trace files, etc.) should be submitted by July 26th, 2015. The same submissions should be previously unpublished, and not currently under review by another conference or journal.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline approaching: Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal [IF=1.94] -- SI on "Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities" Datum: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 18:04:13 +0200 Von: Giuseppe Ruggeri <giuseppe.ruggeri(a)UNIRC.IT> Antwort an: Giuseppe Ruggeri <giuseppe.ruggeri(a)UNIRC.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, please find below a call for papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on " Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. -------------------------- Call for Papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on "Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-iss ue-on-smart-wireless-access-networks-and-systems/ AIMS AND SCOPE ---------------------------- The main goals of a smart-city are to improve sustainability and livability, to ease city government and organization, and to increase services to the citizens. The primary role of ICT in enabling this vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city. To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with billions of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects (e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers, workstations) capable of complex operations and to process a huge amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they are formidable information consumers. Their role however does not end here. Smartphones, in fact, are very powerful devices with constantly increasing processing, communication and sensing capabilities and very recently, a large plethora of proposals have emerged to leverage those capabilities to contribute to the information production process. For instance, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the community. Furthermore smarthphones can actively contributing in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices. All in all, cities are going to became a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing feature and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge. This Special Issue aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentation on how to address the formerly highlighted issues. Specifically on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. At the same time, beside studying the issues of the city-wide infrastructure deployment, the workshop aims to investigate the potential provided by the end-users devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) when augmented in order to turn them into active components of the smart-city ecosystem, instead of mere connection end-points. Such a potential includes the possibility to extend the network access in a pervasive way, to provide ubiquitous computing services, and to favor the emergence of "collective intelligence behaviors" through collaboration and direct communication among devices. In lines with such objectives, the topics of interests include -but it is not limited to- the following issues: . Models of network components' interactions on a smart-city . Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; . Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); . IoT architectures and middlewares; . Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; . Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks; . Systems for distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; . Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments . Crowd sourcing in smart cities; . Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; . Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; . Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; . Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems; . Testbed on the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems; . Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue; . Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing; . Cooperative systems of Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------- Manuscript submission: 1st August 2015 Notification of acceptance: 1st February 2016 Final Manuscript Due: 1st March 2016 Online Publication: 1st May 2016 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ------------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks.
