-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiArch 2015 -- Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:45:33 +0100 Von: Keun-Woo Lim <Keun-Woo.Lim(a)LIP6.FR> Antwort an: Keun-Woo.Lim(a)LIP6.FR An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** Preliminary Call for Papers *** 10th ACM Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture MobiArch 2015 To be held in conjunction with ACM MOBICOM 2015. 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.

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. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: • Networking architectures and protocols for software-defined large-scale IoT • Applications, e.g., RFID for supply chain management, sensors for smart city etc. • Machine-to-Machine communications • Safety, privacy and security in large-scale IoT • Smart-grid, robot networks, unmanned aerial vehicles, vehicular networks • Performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization for large-scale IoT • Energy-efficient and cost-efficient algorithms, systems and protocol design • Analysis of spectrum efficiency, capacity, and energy efficiency for large-scale IoT • Experimental testbed, prototype design and implementation • Cloud-assisted wireless networks, data management and processing Important Dates Submissions Deadline: March 31, 2015 First Reviews Due: June 30, 2015 Revision Due: August 31, 2015 Second Reviews Due/Notification: October 1, 2015 Final Manuscript Due: November 1, 2015 Publication Date: February 2016 Submission The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Large-scale Internet of Things: Theory and Practice.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE TII: Call for Papers in Special Section on "Industrial Sensing Intelligence" Datum: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 16:21:34 +0100 Von: Noel Crespi <noel.crespi(a)MINES-TELECOM.FR> Antwort an: Noel Crespi <noel.crespi(a)MINES-TELECOM.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Call for Papers in Special Section on "Industrial Sensing Intelligence" http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ss15/SS_on_Industrial%20Sensing%20Intelligence.pdf The Theme: As sensing technologies and wireless communications make rapid advances, industrial sensing applications are going through fast growth. 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.
