In order to achieve real time context awareness, data related to personal context needs to be sensed and used. This bears technical, and at the same time legal and psychological implications. The 1st Workshop on interdisciplinary advances in real time context awareness addresses researchers who focus on technical, legal, psychological aspects, and especially interdisciplinary research on real time context awareness. The ubiquitous availability of sensors in mobile and personal devices (e.g. smartphones) enables the collection of personal situation specific user data. This data can be used for real time context aware applications. At the same time, legal and psychological issues emerge when processing personal user data. Therefore, we invite researchers in computer science and related disciplines to submit original work on advances and interdisciplinary research on real time context awareness. Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Real time context data processing, and forecasting * Security and privacy in real time context awareness * Legal implications and requirements of real time context aware systems * Psychological implications and requirements of real time context aware systems Important Dates: ---------------- * Paper Submission: September 26th, 2014 * Author Notification: November 8th, 2014 * Camera-Ready Submission: December 10th, 2014 * Workshop: March 13th, 2014 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not considered elsewhere for publication.

To accommodate various streaming data of IoT applications, LTE/LTE-A standards have defined several quality-of-service (QoS) classes for different traffic characteristics, in terms of traffic bit-rate, tolerable delay and packet loss rate. Moreover, to meet the stringent power-saving requirements for IoT devices, LTE/LTE-A standards also have defined the discontinuous reception/transmission (DRX/DTX) mechanism to allow devices to turn off their radio interfaces and go to sleep when no data need to be received or transmitted from/to the evolved Node B (eNB). Clearly, the convergence of IoT and 3GPP LTE network can considerably benefit both sides. IoT devices could efficiently transfer their data using LTE/LTE-A networks, while the LTE/LTE-A operators may develop more value-added IoT services. Despite such promising future, there are still many challenges for IoT over LTE/LTE-A network. This special issue aims to help both industry and academia research communities to better understand the recent progress and potential research directions on the path towards the future of IoT over LTE/LTE-A. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: * Future IoT concepts, applications and services for LTE/LTE-A networks * Energy efficient IoT with LTE DRX/DTX fine tune * QoS provisioning and cross-layer design for Internet of Things over 4G cellular network * LTE Security and privacy enhancement for Internet of Things * Hierarchical LTE IoT architectures and eNB IoT Gateway * Novel traffic modeling and resource/mobility management for LTE/LTE-A IoT * Commercial model and case study of LTE/LTE-A IoT System * Data-centric, protocol-centric and technology-centric approaches for the design of IoT in LTE/LTE-A * Data fusion and aggregation for IoT over LTE/LTE-A * Novel pricing, billing and charging schemes for LTE/LTE-A IoT system * Successful testbeds and trials of LTE/LTE-A IoT system * Current and future standardization activities related to cellular IoT IMPORTANT DATES - Submissions Deadline: March 15, 2015 - First Reviews Due: June 15, 2015 - Revision Due: July 15, 2015 - Second Reviews Due/Notification: August 15, 2015 - Final Manuscript Due: August 30, 2015 - Publication Date: October 20 SUBMISSION The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Internet of Things over LTE/LTE-A Network.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2015 CFP Datum: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:32:17 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2015) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby March 27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA in conjunction with PerCom 2015 (http://www.percom.org) March 23-27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, the combined proceedings (main conference + workshops) are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 45. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website). IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: November 26, 2014 - Notification of acceptance: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop: March 27, 2015 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Petteri Nurmi, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, University of Helsinki, Finland TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Linköping University, Sweden Gergely Biczók, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Thanh Dang, Washington State University Vancouver, USA Denzil Ferreira, University of Oulu, Finland Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Shin'ichi Konomi, The University of Tokyo, Japan Brent Lagesse, University of Washington at Bothell, USA Neal Lathia, University of Cambridge, UK Alan Marchiori, Bucknell University, USA Liam Mcnamara, Uppsala University, Sweden Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Chiang Mai University, Thailand Christian Poellabauer, University of Notre Dame, USA Alicia Rodriguez-Carrion, University Carlos III of Madrid Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Marco Zuniga, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Melek Önen, EURECOM, France Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Yaxiong Zhao, Google, USA STEERING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy _______________________________________________ ISCC mailing list ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it https://mama.ing.unibo.it/listinfo/iscc

We invite paper submissions on fundamental contributions to a broad variety of issues related to wireless and mobile networks. We encourage theoretical contributions as well as submissions related to implementation and experimentation that provide deeper understanding. The main focus is on contributions at and above the MAC layer. Papers dealing with physical layer issues are also welcome, provided that they address cross-layer networking issues. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Mobile, cellular, sensor, wireless mesh, vehicular, cognitive radio, ad hoc, social, opportunistic, and delay tolerant networks - Optimization and control for mobile crowdsourcing - Mobile computing systems - Applications, middleware, transport, network, and MAC protocols - Routing, scheduling, resource allocation, and energy efficiency - Localization and location privacy - Scaling laws and fundamental limits - Cross-layer optimization and control - Modeling and performance evaluation - Function computation and data aggregation - Network resilience, fault-tolerance, and reliability - Trust, security, and privacy - Distributed sensing, actuation, and control in cyber-physical systems - Wireless aspects of the smart grid - Wireless aspects of the Internet of Things - Impacts of physical layer innovations on higher layers - System design, testbeds, and experimental evaluation - Measurements from deployed and experimental systems All papers submitted to the conference will be considered for a *Best Paper Award*. See the conference website for more information: http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2015/ *Paper Submission Guidelines* Papers should not exceed 10 pages (US letter size) double column including figures, tables, and references in standard ACM format. Papers must be submitted electronically in printable pdf format. Templates for the standard ACM format can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Both strict and alternate styles are acceptable for submission. No changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes are allowed from those specified by the style files. Papers violating the formatting guidelines will be returned without review. All submissions will be reviewed using a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure a blind review, the authors? names and affiliations should not appear in the paper or the pdf file; bibliographicreferences should be made in a way that preserves author anonymity; acknowledgments and support information should not be included. In case there is a need to refer to a technical report that includes, for example, proofs, an anonymous link should be provided. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the ACM. Warning: It is ACM policy not to allow double submissions, where the same paper is submitted to more than one conference/journal concurrently. Any double submissions detected will be immediately rejected from all conferences/journals involved. *General Chairs* Sherman Shen (University of Waterloo, Canada) Youxian Sun (Zhejiang University, China) *Program Chairs* Junshan Zhang (Arizona State University, USA) Gil Zussman (Columbia University, USA) *Steering Committee Chairs* P.
