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 We are therefore seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in the smart objects arena.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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CHANTS 2015 - ACM MobiCom 2015 Workshop on Challenged Networks: 2nd CFP Datum: Fri, 8 May 2015 15:21:55 +0200 Von: Karin Anna Hummel <karin.hummel(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ******************************************************************** * * 2nd Call for Papers * * CHANTS 2015 * 10th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks * * http://www.acm-chants.org/ * (co-located with MobiCom 2015) * * Paris, France * September 11, 2015 * * Submission due: May 25, 2015 * ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW ========= Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. Challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, and opportunistic and participatory sensing. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE’s D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the nine previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work, including studies of real deployment. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions. All papers shall be forward looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network coding in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, IoT) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing. PAPER SUBMISSION ================= Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).

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. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

Submission Guidelines * All papers should adhere to the IEEE Computer conference paper formatting requirements (IEEEtran.cls) and should not exceed 10 pages with font size no smaller than 10 pt (details can be found on the submission guidelines and formatting page). * ICNP uses a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure double-blind reviewing, author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity; acknowledgement with identifiable names and funding sources should be removed. Note that own work should be cited as a third person. Papers violating this double-blind review policy will be rejected without review. * Authors need to indicate on their paper’s submission page all TPC members with whom they have conflicts of interest. * Every paper MUST be presented by an author at the conference. The author list MUST remain the same as when the paper was submitted for review, and any changes in the author list or title is forbidden without prior written permission from the TPC Co-Chairs. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to register at the full rate of the conference and to present the paper at the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings and be submitted to the IEEE digital library. Papers not presented by an author at the conference will not be published in the proceedings or submitted for inclusion in the IEEE digital library. Integrity Policy Submitted papers should not be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. In some cases, the ICNP chairs may share information about submitted papers with other conference chairs and journal editors to ensure the integrity of papers under consideration. Authors are prohibited from informing any TPC member of any identifiable information (such as titles) of their submissions. Also, papers containing plagiarized material will be subject to the IEEE plagiarism policy and will be rejected without review. Organizing Committee General Co-Chairs: Srikanth V.

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.
