-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP Deadline Extended to November 1, 2014: IEEE IoT Journal SI on "Mobile Crowd Sensing for IoT". Datum: Thu, 9 Oct 2014 02:49:03 -0400 Von: Shusen Yang <s.yang09(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Shusen Yang <s.yang09(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------------- -IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issues on "Mobile Crowd Sensing for IoT -Submission deadline extended to November 1, 2014 AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------------- The ubiquitous sensor-rich mobile devices (smartphones, wearable devices, smart vehicles) have been playing an increasing important role in the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoTs), which bridge the digital space and physical world at a societal scale. Their powerful computing/communication capacities, huge population, and inherent mobility makes mobile-device networks a much more flexible and cost-effective IoT solution than static sensor networks. This promotes the emergence of a fast-growing consumer-centric sensing paradigm, the Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS). As an evolution of participatory sensing, MCS has two unique features: (1) it involves both implicit and explicit participation; (2) MCS collects data from two user-participant data sources: mobile social networks and mobile sensing. Various categories of knowledge (e.g. location, personal and social context, user feelings/opinions, traffic conditions, and pollution) reported by smart device users, are shared w! ithin the social sphere, practitioners, health care providers, and utility providers, enabling a broad range of applications and services such as urban dynamic mining, public safety, and environment monitoring. Numerous research challenges arise from the MCS paradigm including participatory and opportunistic data collection, incentive mechanism design, transient networking, quality of user-contributed data, privacy concerns, and big data processing and analytics. This special issue provides the opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and application developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of MCS techniques and applications or propose new solutions. In particular, we solicit high-quality original research papers on MCS, including but not limited to the following topics: - IoT Architecture/Framework for MCS - Optimized Data Collection Task Allocation - Communication in Transient Networking Environments - Crowdsourced Data Processing and Urban/Social Context Mining - Incentive Mechanisms for Participatory Sensing - Heterogeneous Crowdsourced Data Fusion - Dealing with Low Quality Data in MCS - Trust and Privacy Issues in MCS - MCS for Social Networking - Hybrid Human-Machine Intelligence in MCS - Emerging/Novel MCS Apps and Systems (environment monitoring, public safety, traffic planning, etc.) IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- - Submissions Deadline: November 1, 2014 - First Reviews Due: February 1, 2015 - Revision Due: March 1, 2015 - Second Reviews Due/Acceptance letters: April 15, 2015 - Final Manuscript Due: May 1, 2015 - Publication Date: June, 2015 SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES ----------------------------------- The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on MCS for IoT. Solicited original submission must not be currently under consideration for publication in other venues. Author guidelines and submission information can be found at http://iot.ieee.org/journal. All manuscripts should be submitted through Manuscript Central: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot GUEST EDITORS ----------------------------------- Bin Guo, Northwestern Polytechnical Univ. email: guobin.keio(a)gmail.com Shusen Yang, Imperial College London email: s.yang09(a)imperial.ac.uk Janne Lindqvist, Rutgers University email: janne(a)winlab.rutgers.edu Xing Xie, Microsoft Research email: xing.xie(a)microsoft.com Raghu K.

CALL FOR PAPERS ACM e-Energy 2015 The Sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems July 14-17, 2015, Bangalore, India http://conferences.sigcomm.org/eenergy/2015/ Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment of these technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at the center of the on-going revolution in next generation “smart” and sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. The sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Bangalore, India in July 2015 aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small group interactions, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area. We solicit high-quality papers in the area of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM eEnergy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: - Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings - Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems - Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy-efficient data centers - The impact of storage integration on the smart grid - Electric Vehicle monitoring and control - Distribution and transmission network control techniques - Microgrid and distributed generation management and control - Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources - Smart grid communication architectures and protocols - Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure - Innovative pricing and incentives for demand-side management - Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems - HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness - User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and communication technologies - Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems - Modeling, management and control of variability and uncertainty in energy supply and demand Submissions Three types of contributions are solicited: - Regular papers, up to 10 pages in ACM double-column format, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal. Regular papers are intended to describe high quality research work based on novel ideas that have been thoroughly evaluated.

The review process for regular papers will include a thorough evaluation by the program committee, opportunity for authors to respond to reviews, and a shepherding process to ensure compliance with review comments before the paper acceptance is finalized. - Challenge Papers, up to 6 pages in ACM double-column format, should present revolutionary new ideas that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the e-Energy research community. Challenge papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight into and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in the proceedings. The title of these papers must start with the prefix "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." - Poster and Demo Abstracts, up to 2 pages in ACM double-column format showcasing works-in-progress; accepted posters/demos will be presented at the conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics listed above. Preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Additionally, the demo abstracts should be accompanied by a third page (which will not be published) describing the script of the demo to be presented as well as any special resource requirements (space, networking, electricity etc.). The title for the abstracts must have the prefix “Poster Abstract:” or “Demo Abstract:” as appropriate. The submission must be in PDF format with all fonts embedded, and be formatted according to the official ACM Proceedings format. Papers that do not meet the size and formatting requirements will not be reviewed. Word and LaTeX templates are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.

Economides <economid(a)uom.gr> An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr http://conta.uom.gr/SPIC2015/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fconta.uom.gr%2FSPIC2015%2F&h=5AQ…> The First IEEE International Workshop on Security and Privacy for Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems (SPIC 2015) Organized in conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2015) <http://icc2015.ieee-icc.org/> 8-12 June 2015, London, UK (CFP in PDF Format) <http://conta.uom.gr/SPIC2015/images/SPIC2015_CFP.pdf> SCOPE Recent advances in networking, communications, computation, software, and hardware technologies have revolutionized the way humans, smart things, and engineered systems interact and exchange information. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which are the major contributors to this area, will fuel the realization of this new, globally interconnected cyber-world. Yet, the success, prosperity, and advancement of IoT and CPS systems strongly depend on the security, privacy and trust of the IoT and cyber-physical devices as well as the sensitive data being exchanged. While these technologies offer a lot of new possibilities, the increasing complexity of hardware and software as well as the worldwide access increase the vulnerability to security attacks. Successful attacks targeted to IoT devices and CPS systems have in common that not only a single computer is affected, but also interconnected technical systems allowing interaction with the physical world are influenced leading to malfunction of devices and control systems with severe financial, environmental and health losses.
