Paris, France September 7th, 2015 More information is available at: https://mobiarch15.lip6.fr/index.html Announcement posted by Keun-Woo Lim (keun-woo.lim(a)lip6.fr) MobiArch 2015 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, protocols, and technologies in the current Internet or in future clean-slate Internet. We encourage also work-in-progress papers, we especially welcome position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. MobiArch 2015 has mobile Internet data analysis as the central theme, a new rising and challenging networking environment which mixes the mobility information of users and the design of mobile services and networks with the analysis of data coming from the network, the devices and the applications. The emergence of Cloud-dependent mobile services and the widespread growth of user-generated data, as well as the ever increasing use of cellular and wireless technologies, are leading to the collection of a vast amount of user mobility data as well as measurements of network statesand service provisioning. This data may come from network management and monitoring architectures, from the user device and even directly from the application. In this context, various networking challenges rise such as seamless IP mobility management, the definition of algorithms correlating user mobility and application usages, the online or offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from the access network and user devices, the possibility of offload computing tasks, whole application or part of device operating system to the cloud, possible algorithm correlating traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading as a consequence of mobile data analysis, pattern inference and estimation, etc. To tackle these challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, security and privacy, multi-homing, transport over wireless access, user incentives to reduce network congestion, incentives for network providers to deploy new/alternative mobile Internet infrastructure, incentives for service developers/providers to define new mobile services, efficient multimedia content distribution, information centric networking solutions, collection and management of data, new business models for mobile data, to related operational concerns and legal issues. Topics of Interest All aspects around architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Impact of new wireless networking technologies on the mobile-centric Internet architecture * Mobility support in the Internet, ranging from link to application layers or cross-layer design solutions * Seamless mobility in heterogeneous networks * Data mining approaches in mobile network management data analysis * Data mining approaches in mobile phone data analysis * User mobility and digital usages pattern correlation * Software defined and cloudassisted mobile networking * Role of network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture * Data-driven mobile network and service design * Mobile data fusion and mixing algorithms * Impact of Information Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks * Impact of massive data collection, analysis and management in mobile architecture and services * Impact of incentives and smart pricing on network utilization and user Quality of Experience (QoE) * Impact of high throughput mobile interface on ad-hoc networks * Addressing and routing issues, location management, support for location-aware application and protocols * Security and privacy issues in mobile networks and impact on Internet architecture * Economic, regulation, and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) Important Dates Full paper submissions due: May 15th, 2015 (11:59pm EST) Notification of acceptance: June 19th, 2015 Camera ready due: July 27th, 2015 Workshop date: September 7th, 2015 Organization Committees Workshop Co-Chairs Stefano Secci, UPMC, France Xinbing Wang, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Steering Committee Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge Xiaoming Fu, University of Goettingen Rittwik Jana AT&T Labs Research Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University Joerg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology Katherine Guo, Bell Labs Research Program Committee Claude Chaudet, Telecom ParisTech Wenguang Chen, Tsinghua University Xu Chen, University of Goettingen Marco Fiore, CNR Toru Hasegawa, Osaka University Sahar Hoteit, Centrale-Supelec Jeremie Leguay, Huawei Xin Liu, UC Davis Fulvio Risso, Politecnico di Torino Stefano Secci, University Pierre and Marie Curie Razvan Stanica, INRIA Peter Steenkiste, Carnegie Mellon University Xinbing Wang, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Lixia Zhang, UCLA Publicity Co-Chairs Lionel Tabourier, UPMC, France Keun-Woo Lim, UPMC, France Local Arrangement Chair Keun-Woo Lim, UPMC, France ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet 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, it allows for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. When human interaction is absent from the system dynamics, the vision is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grids, smart city, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, and it is strongly expected that new applications will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. Presently, two of the most important challenges for the widespread use of IoT/M2M technologies are: i) architectures, protocols and algorithms for efficient interconnection of smart objects; and ii) the creation of value-added services enabled by the interconnection of smart objects. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry to discuss recent advances in theory, application, and implementation of the IoT/M2M technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for IoT/M2M systems - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications - Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT/M2M scenarios - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes, pilots, and testbeds - Dependability, security and privacy in the IoT/M2M context - Performance, QoS and SLA in IoT/M2M scenarios - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications and case studies (eHealth, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Homes and Cities) PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 6 camera-ready pages (10pt font, double column, US letter size [8.5 × 11 inches] in IEEE format).

It also poses new problems and challenges due to its intrinsic feature of large scale, in terms of spatial and temporal distribution, information amount, energy consumption, interfaces, functionalities, etc. These unprecedented challenging issues are across the disciplines of embedded system, manufacturing, telecommunication, computing, sensing, software engineering, data management and analysis. Emerging and advanced communication technologies (e.g., cloud-based radio access networks) introduce many new opportunities to tackle the challenging issues in large-scale ubiquitous IoT. To address such challenges in large-scale IoT, besides requiring intelligent algorithms for data collection and analysis, efficient network diagnosis and management, we need new analytical tools, fundamental mathematics beyond the confines of traditional communication and information theories, and even methodologies from other networking related fields like economics, biology, and thermodynamics, to shed light on the fundamental performance limit of large scale IoT system and to guide the design, implementation, development, and optimization of emerging IoT technologies.

For instance, many types of sensor nodes equipped with communication modules are providing more and more information about industrial production, and managing this newly-accessible sensing information can help to reduce maintenance cost, by automatically identifying the status of modules to avoid system unprepared breakdowns. Moreover, recent innovations in cyber-physical systems interconnecting industrial elements have not only improved their own capabilities, but also enabled them to connect to other networks and to the Internet. Based on above-mentioned advances and innovations, sensing-based integrated intellectualization will be an inevitable process for industrial systems. This ongoing process is addressing complex problems, utilizing the large-scale integration of distributed resources and sensing data, improving the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of modern industrial production and applications, and overcoming one of the key weaknesses of industrial systems, decision making. New intelligent models, architecture, approaches, algorithms and solutions are needed to cope with the ever-increasing complexity of problems in modern industry, e.g., (i) cyber-physical component and device control problems, (ii) the energy consumption problems of equipment and productive processes, and (iii) the environmental pollution control problems of industrial production. This Special Section on "Industrial Sensing Intelligence" is to provide a forum for researchers to discuss and exchange their latest achievements in related industrial systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: - Innovative forecasting methods for solving complex problems in sensing-based modern industries, e.g., environmental protection - Integration, processing and analysis of sensing data from spatially-distributed sensors for intelligent control and decision making - Data mining and knowledge discovery based on Big Data analysis from the aspect of Industrial Internet of Things - Intelligent control, localization and navigation systems for assets, productive processes and productive participants with the help of Geographic Intelligence or other sensing information from the physical world - Standardization and test beds in the industrial sensing intelligence domain, for building automation systems, intelligent transport systems, energy management frameworks and structural monitoring infrastructure Papers discussing new application areas and the resulting new developments at the interface of industrial sensing intelligence are especially welcome.

Computing today is increasingly characterized by ubiquitous, information-rich sensors that produce massive quantities of data about the physical world. This new era of computing is driving important new systems issues, and requires new system-level approaches and design principles. The ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2015) is a computer systems conference focused on the architecture, design, implementation, and performance of sensors, broadly defined, as well as sensor-enabled mart systems. ACM SenSys brings together academic, industry, and government professionals to a single-track, highly selective forum on networked sensing design, implementation, and applications. It is the premier forum to discuss systems issues that arise specifically due to sensing. - WHAT'S NEW - The increasing proliferation and diversity of sensing systems and applications in physical and social spaces calls for a broadening of conference scope. This year, the SenSys review process is redesigned to explicitly focus on novelty and diversity of ideas! Highly innovative work that offers new avenues for research or introduces novel applications is encouraged, as opposed to more incremental contributions to mature systems. Maximum paper length is reduced to 12 pages (plus references) to facilitate introduction of new work. Sensys 2015 promotes a broad coverage of areas in computing that are relevant to the future of networked sensor and actuator systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Novel applications, modalities, and deployment experiences - New sensor technology and hardware designs - Ubiquitous, mobile and pervasive sensing - Wearable, human-centric, and social sensing - Software, communication, and networking for sensor systems - Information processing and knowledge discovery from sensor data - Storage, retrieval, processing, and management of sensor data - Energy harvesting and management for long-term sensor operation - Fault-tolerance, reliability, and assurances for sensor systems - Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Sensor Swarms We invite technical papers describing original ideas, ground-breaking results, and/or real-world experiences involving innovative sensor systems.

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.
