SCOPE AND OVERVIEW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The evolving information and communications (ICT) technologies present a unique opportunity to effect the transformation needed to move us towards the goal of sustainability by helping to reduce our carbon footprint, mitigate and adapt ill effects of climate change, reduce and repair environmental damage, provide effective disaster response and recovery, creatively manage overstressed infrastructures in crowded urban systems, and enhance use of planet friendly materials and technologies. ICT is already being integrated into many areas of our lives, such as smart management of city services, transportation, energy distribution and management, health care, etc., and this integration is expected to expand deeper and wider in the coming years and decades. Unfortunately, this ICT proliferation brings in its own challenges of increased carbon footprint, accelerating obsolescence of electronic equipment and its disposal issues, increased use of precious natural resources such as wa! ter and materials, etc. These twin problems of reducing the environmental impact of ICT and exploiting ICT for a more sustainable world form the underlying theme for SustainIT since its inception in 2010. This year's SustainIT continues this theme by focusing on inter-disciplinary scientific challenges of enhancing the sustainability of ICT and via ICT. The goal of this conference is to bring together people from different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers from both industry and academia.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP COMCOM, Elsevier: Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Unified Communications: Challenges and Solutions, Manuscript Due October 31, 2014 Datum: Mon, 6 Oct 2014 13:52:15 +0200 Von: Georgios Karopoulos <georgios.karopoulos(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Georgios Karopoulos <georgios.karopoulos(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ======================================================================== *Call for Papers* Computer Communications Journal, Elsevier (Current Impact Factor: 1.352) Special Issue on: Security and Privacy in Unified Communications: Challenges and Solutions Direct Link: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/sp… ======================================================================== Unified Communications (UC) merge different communication technologies, types of products, and services, from various manufacturers, operators, and countries, following diverse policies and standards. Specifically, in the context of UC, a range of communication tools are integrated in a way that both corporations and individuals are able to manage all their communications in one entity instead of doing it disjointly. It is therefore said that UC bridges the opening between the various computer related communication technologies and Voice over IP (VoIP). However, this high level of heterogeneity expands the risks related to security and privacy that stakeholders should deal with. To eliminate or even prevent the increasing threats to end-users and operators, it is important to explore this growing and timely research topic. This feature topic will benefit the research community towards identifying challenges and disseminating the latest methodologies and solutions to UC security and privacy issues. Its objective is to publish high-quality articles presenting open issues, algorithms, protocols, policies, frameworks, standards, and solutions for UC related to security and privacy. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Reviews and case studies which address state-of-art research and state-of-practice industry experiences are also welcomed. We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to unified communications security and privacy, including, but not limited to: - Authorization and access control for UC services - Denial of service prevention schemes for UC - Reliability and availability issues on UC - Penetration testing, intrusion detection and prevention - End-to-end security solutions - Cryptographic protocols for UC - Voice security - Signaling security and privacy - Multimedia application security and privacy analysis - Multimedia communication platforms vulnerabilities and attacks - Security and privacy in mobile communication services - Smartphone multimedia apps security and privacy - Social networking security and privacy - Testbed and case studies for secure and private UC services - Trust establishment in UC - IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) security - Privacy and identity management - Privacy enhancing technologies for UC - Privacy models for UC - Security and privacy assessment for UC - Security policies - Auditing, verification, and validation of UC services - Risk analysis and management - Cyber-security issues affecting UC - Protection of UC as a Critical Information Infrastructure - VoIP peering security issues All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication. Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: October 31, 2014 Pre-notification (first round): January 30, 2015 Final-notification (second round): April 3, 2015 Publication of special issue: 2015 (Tentative) Submission Details Authors should follow the instructions available at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom - kindly click the “Guide for Authors” link in the top box on the right side.

Currently, wireless communication informs the human driver. In the future wireless communications will influence the movement of vehicles. Automated driving and driver assistance systems require the exchange of kinematic information in distributed control algorithms with very short latency. Future ITS that network automated vehicles with the goal of zero accidents have the potential to save more than 1 Mio. human lives and avoid 8 Mio. serious injuries worldwide every year. Dependable wireless communications with short-latency, low outage probability over non-stationary vehicular communication channels is a challenging task. It involves a multi disciplinary effort including vehicular channel measurements, characterization and modeling; cooperative communications; and low-latency protocol design. A dependable wireless communication framework will be essential for vehicular ad-hoc networks, device-to-device communication links in future 5G systems, and cyber physical systems in general. The goal of the workshop is to solicit the development of dependable vehicular communication systems. This workshop will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to dependable vehicular communications. The workshop will be co-located with IEEE ICC 2015, the International Conference on Communications (http://www.ieee-icc.org/), in London, UK. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Vehicular channel measurements - Channel characterization and modeling - Channel estimation algorithms - Cooperative communications for vehicular scenarios - Signal processing techniques - Protocols for cooperative communications - Integration of vehicular networks in 5G systems - Dependability aspects of channel access - Fault tolerant protocols and error recovery - System level simulation concepts - Key requirements (latency, reliability) and conformance tests for DVC - Performance bounds and optimization - Field tests of vehicular communications Organizing Committee: Thomas Zemen (FTW) Jerome Härri (EURECOM) Christoph Mecklenbräuker (TU Wien) Claude Oestges (UCL) Stefan Rührup (FTW) Christoph Sommer (Universität Paderborn) Erik Ström (Chalmers University) Fredrik Tufvesson (Lund Univ.)

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] Call for Papers - CASPer 2015, the 2nd International Workshop on Crowdsensing in Conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Datum: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 08:54:58 +0200 Von: Casper 2015 <casper2015(a)uns.ac.rs> Organisation: Faculty of technical sciences An: undisclosed-recipients:; ******************************************************************** CASPer 2015 2nd International Workshop on Crowd Assisted Sensing, Pervasive Systems and Communications St. Louis, USA, March 27, 2015 In Conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 St. Louis, USA, March 23-27, 2015 ******************************************************************** Dear Colleagues, Please, find below the CfP for the 2nd International Workshop on Crowd Assisted Sensing, Pervasive Systems and Communications (CASPer 2015), held in conjunction with the 13th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2015). This call for papers and other information about the workshop can be found at the following website: http://casper2015.uns.ac.rs Call for Papers With phones in their pockets, millions of people have access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, making it possible to harness the power of the crowd to collect and share data about their surroundings and experiences on a massive scale. Crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, making it possible to expand the scope of research endeavors and address civic issues without requiring the purchase of specialized sensors or the installation and maintenance of network infrastructure. Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources and may allow for collecting data in previously inaccessible locations and contexts. This new data collection paradigm introduces several research challenges. Privacy is a primary concern for users that are contributing sensitive or identifying data. Incentive mechanisms for participation may be needed to encourage people to volunteer their resources to collect data. Methods are needed for processing large- scale, user-generated data sets into meaningful information, and for assessing and understanding the quality of information to help guide decision-making. Approaches that involve the crowd in such data analysis tasks, with humans serving as a source of semantic information, interpretation, and evaluation of crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing data, can also help to build an understanding of the physical, computational, and socio-technical environment. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing. We invite original research contributions that advance the state of the art as well as position papers that pose a new direction or present a controversial point of view. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Algorithms to handle, process, and visualize large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data sets * Data integrity, security, privacy, and provenance for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Determining and assessing Quality of Information for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Crowd-assisted (human-in-the-loop) approaches to analyzing crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Context modeling and reasoning in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Incentive mechanisms for participation in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Supporting crowdsensing/crowdsourcing in heterogeneous networks * Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing for pervasive systems * Novel use of sensors for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Energy-efficient mechanisms for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Programming abstractions and middleware for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Novel large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications Submitted papers must be original contributions that are unpublished and are not currently under consideration for publication by other venues. Submissions are limited to a maximum length of 6 pages and must adhere to IEEE format (2 column, 10 pt font). Templates are available via the workshop website. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom Workshop Proceedings. Note, that each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration (no registration is available for workshops only)! Important Dates Paper submissions: November 26, 2014 Paper notifications: January 9, 2015 Camera ready submissions: January 28, 2015 General Chairs Miguel Labrador, University of South Florida, USA Thomas Silverston, University of Lorraine/Inria-Nancy, France Programme Chairs Karoly Farkas, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Luke Dickens, Imperial College London, UK Publicity Chair Imre Lendak, University of Novi Sad, Serbia Technical Program Committee Joel Branch, IBM, USA Licia Capra, University College London, UK Murat Demirbas, University of Buffalo, USA Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, UK Daniel Fernandez Lanvin, Universidad de Oviedo, Spain Andres Marin Lopez, Universidad Carlos III.
