Mobile cloud applications move the computing power and data storage away from mobile phones and into the cloud, bringing applications and mobile computing not only to smartphone users but also to a much broader range of mobile subscribers. Cloud computing has emerged as the leading paradigm for cost efficient and reliable service provisioning. Today, the rich availability of energy-harvesting and resource-constrained mobile computing devices is beginning to converge with the great opportunity offered by the powerful cloud computing services hosted by virtualized data center resources. Although mobile applications, cloud computing, and data center networking techniques have been intensively investigated in the past couple of years, mobile cloud computing and mobile cloud networking have not raised the attention of the research community until recently. This Feature Topic precisely addresses recent advances in this aspect. Solicited topics include (but are not limited to): Mobile cloud computing architectures, protocols and services Energy efficiency in mobile cloud computing and networking Energy management for mobile devices in mobile cloud computing Resource and service management, scheduling, and migration in mobile cloud computing Mobile cloud applications and service models Mobile traffic characterization and measurements Transport and higher layers in mobile cloud computing Storage as Service in Mobile Cloud Computing Security, Privacy, access control Network on the fly, virtual control, virtual radio, isolation Virtualization of mobile devices and mobile network infrastructures Unified user and device mobility management Quality of Experience and Service Level Agreements Discovery of mobile cloud computing services, data and other resources Situation-/Context-aware networking for mobile cloud computing Exploring social networks and user collaboration for mobile cloud computing Location-based mobile cloud applications and service models Virtualization techniques for mobile cloud computing and services Security, privacy and virus/malware issues in mobile cloud computing Mobile cloud enabled Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) solutions Personal cloud, ad hoc cloud, distributed cloud computing and service models Cloudlets, mobile cloud sensing and crowdsourcing Submission Guidelines: Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy (MidSEE '15) Datum: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:39:22 +0200 Von: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS MidSEE 2015 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy March 12, 2015 in conjunction with NetSys 2015, Cottbus, Germany https://www.netsys2015.com/workshops-tutorials/midsee/ ======================================================================= MOTIVATION & WORKSHOP SCOPE Smart energy meters are increasingly installed in newly constructed buildings worldwide, as regulated by, e.g., the European Union's Energy Services Directive. Their combination with the vision of an Internet of Things, in which billions of embedded devices will continually monitor the environment, enables the fine-grained monitoring of household and office energy usage and hence a large range of novel services. While many such functions have been devised so far (e.g., advice how to save energy or the disaggregation of electricity bills), these solutions commonly rely on the availability of hard- and software systems by a single manufacturer. Interoperability, including the potential to integrate new energy metering devices, is mostly unsupported due to the wide variety of (non-compatible) standards and communication protocols. This workshop provides a platform to present current research activities in communications and processing of energy consumption data, with its primary focus on electric energy usage. The scope of the workshop includes contributions that address the integration of energy metering equipment from different manufacturers into a single middleware system which operates on a building level, as well as novel means to collect, process and visualize these data. Accepted papers will not only present novel research results in these domains, but also comprise an evaluation in which their merits are assessed. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel energy metering hardware designs and experiences - Data collection and command distribution protocols for energy management systems - Middleware systems for energy data, including novel local data processing algorithms - Control of alternative energy sources to increase their production efficiency - Innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production - Sensing and actuation of electrical loads - Privacy and security in energy management middleware systems - User interfaces for energy display, management and control PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit papers of up to 6 pages in IEEE two-column format. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. More details about the ubmission process can be found on the website. IMPORTANT DATES Submission: Sep. 26th, 2014 Notification: Nov. 17th, 2014 Camera Ready: Dec. 10th, 2014 Workshop: Mar. 12th, 2015 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Christian Renner, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Delphine Christin, University of Bonn & Fraunhofer FKIE, Germany PROGRAM COMMITTEE Matteo Ceriotti, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Alexander De Luca, LMU München, Germany Paul Dunphy, Newcastle University, UK Wilfried Elmenreich, Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Austria Stefan Fischer, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Hannes Frey, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Stefan Katzenbeisser, TU Darmstadt, Germany Marco Ortolani, University of Palermo, Italy Oliver Parson, University of Southampton, UK Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland Christian Steger, TU Graz, Austria Volker Turau, TU Hamburg-Harburg, Germany Sebastian Zöller, TU Darmstadt, Germany ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The ecosystem figure presents the general architecture of the IoT ecosystem, where the data coming from the Internet of Things and Smarter Cities is integrated into the Cloud Computing. The presented flow is enabling the interaction between the cloud and the humans, who are starting to be more actives and more participative with the processes that are happening in their cities, workspaces and living areas. The cloud is taking care of the centralization of the data of each sensor and object, allowing them to interact and communicate between them through the creation of a ubiquitous network and solving the interconnection problem. The cloud is also enabling the integration of Big Data analysis in order to reach understandings of behaviors, determination of patterns, and extraction of knowledge from the data. Finally, as a result and the cross integration of all the technologies, a new level of control and feedback mechanisms are being developed in order to enhance the processes. This workshop looks for multidisciplinary works that mixes the IoT with social aspects, IoT with Big Data, IoT with the cloud computing, and IoT as an enabler for Cyber Physical Systems. Finally, applications of the IoT and solutions that integrate multiple off the enablers presented in the CrossIoT loop are also highly encouraged to participate in this event.

Regarding future trends, it is estimated that 93% of urban growth will occur in developing nations, with 80% of urban growth occurring in Asia and Africa. Urged by these observations, city halls and political decision makers are calling for urgent solutions to the growing problems caused by this increasing population concentration. Recent advances in information and communication technologies may stimulate new solutions towards the urbanization problems, and the mission of this workshop is to present recent achievements in ubiquitous computing from a smart cities perspective. Smart city research mainly focuses on applying next-generation information technologies in daily activities, like embedding sensors and actuators in hospitals, power grids, roads, buildings, water systems, vehicles, and other objects forming the Internet of Things (IoT). A recent study identifies five industry sectors that are core to the development of smart cities: energy, water, transportation, buildings, and government. This Workshop addresses the aforementioned issues by examining new technological developments, under the context of ubiquitous computing and smart environments, in the general areas of: Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Mobile Communications, IoT architectures, data storage and handling, security and privacy, reliability and fault tolerance, risk analysis and service business models. Experiences from deployments and case studies related to the aforementioned subject areas are particularly welcome. The Call for Papers covers (but is not limited to) the areas of: Places of Living and Work * Multimedia pervasive computing for smart environments * E-Health services in smart environments * Smart applications for special user groups (e.g. people with disabilities) * Personalized, transformable urban housing and farming * Time-shifted, shared space-on-demand for collaborative work * Sensing and algorithms to understand fine-grained human activity for responsive lighting, HVAC, health, energy conservation, and communication in the home and workplace Mobility Networks: * Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the context of cooperative applications and services, vehicular networking for smart transportation * Multi-modal mobility recommendation engines * Technologies and services for new urban vehicles such as electric scooters, automobiles, bike-lane vehicles, etc. * Autonomous vehicle technology and vehicle-pedestrian interfaces * Technologies for shared-use vehicle systems * Electronic parking systems Electronic and Social Networks: * New network-centric methods for managing reactive, data-driven city systems * Social, multimedia and ubiquitous computing for smart cities * Urban-scale serious games to shape use of resources such as shared-used mobility, variable-rate power, and flexible workspaces * The development of exchange networks in order to obtain more stable, fair, and socially acceptable services Urban Analysis and Modeling: * Data-driven analysis of economic activity, human behavior, mobility patterns, resource consumption, etc. in order to inform an evidence-based process of designing new cities * Parametric urban design tools to schematically define mobility nodes, streets, building massing, and location of resources to create nested compact urban cells (walkable neighborhoods) * Urban energy, mobility, water, food, and waste simulator for new, post-oil cities * Typology of streetscapes, pathways, mobility nodes, and responsive technologies for cities Paper Submission: ------------------------ Authors are invited to submit, via the EDAS system, full papers written in English, with a paper length of 6 printed pages, including figures, tables & references in IEEE double-column format (overlength are allowed at an extra cost).
