Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Experiences with sensor hardware integration - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Smart infrastructure support with wireless sensing technology - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Objects need to be smart, with enough intelligence and sensors to perform required operations. They must be able to wirelessly communicate with other nodes or remote centre in their network, exchanging information and receiving instructions in a reliable and secure way. They must be autonomous, capable of managing the energy resources in order to extend their lifetime span. Considered objects may include everything from lightweight sensors to smart-gadgets like smartphones and wearable devices. The increased smartness of the participating objects is crucial to solve the issues derived from the required cooperation and possibly unpredictable and intense mobility. The objects can move in many different ways, covering transportation means from (i) terrestrial, like cars or trains, to (ii) aerial like drones or planes, and (iii) underwater ships. But even static objects should be flexible enough to efficiently handle on-off patterns imposed for energy savings. The SMARTOBJECTS workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of novel communication approaches and systems for smart objects in the emerging cooperative environments. We are therefore seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in the smart objects arena. Topics: ======= • App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms • Communication between mobile devices and cars • Communication for drone coordination • Content Distribution • Data collection, organization and dissemination methods • Data replication protocols in network partitions • Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches • Deployment and field testing • Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds • Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications • Human-object interaction • Innovative services and applications for mobile devices in vehicles • Location- and track-based services in cars • Mobile service architectures and frameworks • Mobility and handover management • New application scenarios for vehicular communications • Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT • Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices • Privacy issues and solutions • Protocol design, testing and verification • Security issues, architectures and solutions • Sensor-networks in vehicles • Sensors & Data Collection • Smart cities and urban applications • Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones/UAVs • Swarm movement, coordination, and behaviour • Wireless in-vehicle networks Papers Submission Instructions: =============================== SMARTOBJECTS 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. All submissions must be provided in PDF format, and follow the formatting guidelines of MobiCom 2015. Full papers must be no longer than 6 pages, poster and demonstration papers are limited to 2 pages; they will all appear in the proceedings.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Privacy vs. Machine Learning (Forum in Dresden Sept 21/22)

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Privacy vs. Machine Learning (Forum in Dresden Sept 21/22) Datum: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 16:38:19 +0200 Von: Thorsten Strufe <strufe.pub(a)GOOGLEMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Thorsten Strufe <strufe.pub(a)GOOGLEMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Hi everybody, considering the improvements and ubiquity of machine learning applications, and the impact they (may) have on the privacy of individuals, we want to bring together people interested in either of the two sides, here in Dresden on Sept 21/22 2015 ( http://www.prinf.eu ). To ignite discussions, we see two (rather obvious) topics, that we think are important and interesting: 1) considering all the public personal data by all sorts of people, we wonder how good */inference attacks/* can actually get, even on people who don't publish (a lot of) information about themselves - directly related of course is the question, if we can find new */privacy metrics,/* and - if there are ways to encounter such attacks, without diminishing the utility for the users (too much). And 2) on a related note we want to further explore ideas towards */privacy-preserving recommenders/*. We will organize this event as a "traditional" scientific workshop soliciting submissions, which will be reviewed and subsequently published, to make it easier for the academic audiences to convince their funding entity of its importance ;-) - but we really mainly want to engage in discussions, may be fostering some future collaborations, as well. I'm attaching the usual Call for Papers - and I hope, of course, that we will receive some interesting submissions (to make the official part interesting - so help in advertising is appreciated). We will accept both novel scientific contributions, but also datasets and replication studies. But most importantly, we hope to attract a broad audience of interested participants from different professional backgrounds, to facilitate great discussions! Thanks a lot!

In order to support research in these areas, DTL will award research grants to academic institutions worldwide. Such grants come in the form of a lump sum of up to 50K euro that is awarded to successful applicants for pursuing DTL related research in any of the following topics: Tools, Platforms, Measurements, and Methodologies for: 1-Reverse-Engineering Personal Data Usage in Online Services (e.g., advertising, recommender services, pricing and availability of goods & information): -- Behavioral targeting -- Context / Location-based targeting -- Social graph-based targeting -- Involuntary (or implicit) customization / targeting 2-Detecting Personal Data Gathering by Online Services: -- Techniques for finger-printing and tracking users -- In-app tracking and targeting -- Information leakage from applications and platforms -- Cross-platform/domain information/profile trading, aggregation, fusion 3-Privacy-preserving Personal Data Analytics/Management: -- Anonymizing platforms -- Sharing and hosting platforms for privacy-sensitive datasets -- Data encoding schemes and privacy by design -- Advertising-friendly privacy-preserving tools and platforms 4-Raising User and Societal Awareness: -- HCI issues with understanding privacy threats, policies, & implications -- Measuring the value of personal information -- New information marketplaces -- Impact of personalized services -- implicit discrimination, personal filter-bubbles, & societal polarization -- Privacy / anti-discrimination laws and their implications for personalized services The grants are aimed towards supporting fully or partly the work of a Principal Investigator (PI) and at least one PhD student or postdoc for a period of approximately a year. Ideally, they should produce software tools and platforms that enable end-users to better understand or control how their personal information is being collected and used in deployed online services. Successful applicants are expected to present their results in the annual DTL workshop and acknowledge the funding source but beyond that there is no other reporting obligation. Applications will be evaluated by a committee of experts composed of (In alphabetical order): Steering Committee Members Sandy Pentland, MIT Connection Science Chris Riley(pending confirmation), Mozilla Pablo Rodriguez, Telefonica Research Jeni Tennison, Open Data Institute Research Committee Chairs Krishna Gummadi, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems Nikolaos Laoutaris, Telefonica Research Research Committee Members Alessandro Acquisti, Carnegie Mellon John W.
