The interplay between this multitude of connecting entities creates a complex system with dynamic human, material, and digital flows. By 2050 the world’s urban population is expected to grow by 72%. This steep growth creates an unprecedented urge for understanding cities to enable planning for the future societal, economical and environmental well being of their citizens. The increasing deployments of Internet of Thing (IoT) technologies and the rise of so-called “Sensored Cities” are opening up new avenues of research opportunities towards that future. Although, there have been a number of deployment of diverse IoT systems in the urban space, our understanding of these systems and their implications has just scratched the surface. Urb-IoT 2014 is a new and exciting conference that aims to explore these dynamics within the scope of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the new science of cities. The conference solicits original and inspiring research contributions from technology experts, researchers, designers, urban planners, and architects in academia and industry, and promises to offer a perfect forum to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices primarily in the area of: * Citizen Awareness and Engagement: Methods and studies for citizen involvement through participatory sensing or crowd-sourcing for urban tasks, as well as behavioural change of the citizen through awareness. * Urban Analytics: Understanding the massive digital traces created by IoT in the urban landscape through big data analytics. * IoT Applications and Services in Urban Context: Urban technologies and applications that challenge the state of the art and benefit citizens, decision and policy makers, and urban planners.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Paper: MiSeNet'14 - In Conjunction with IEEE MASS 2014 Datum: Fri, 13 Jun 2014 08:02:07 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> Antwort an: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The Third Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (MiSeNet 2014) In conjunction with IEEE MASS in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during October 28-30, 2014. http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/IEEEMiSeNet_Workshop2014.h… Call for Papers Scope and Aim of MiSeNet 2014 Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such as energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. MiSeNet 2014 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. MiSeNet 2014 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. MiSeNet 2014 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to MiSeNet 2014 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications General Chair - Stephan Olariu (Old Dominion University, USA) Program Chair - Xiuzhen Cheng (The George Washington University, USA) Steering Committee - Tarek F.

Future collaboration solutions that fully realize the promises of electronic collaboration require advancements in networking, technology and systems, user interfaces and interaction paradigms, and interoperation with application-specific components and tools. The Tenth International Conference on Collaborative Computing (CollaborateCom 2014) will continue to serve as a premier international forum for discussion among academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, and students interested in collaborative networking, technology and systems, and applications. [Topics] Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Participatory sensing, crowdsourcing, and citizen science - Architectures, protocols, and enabling technologies for collaborative computing networks and systems - Autonomic computing and quality of services in collaborative networks, systems, and applications - Collaboration in pervasive and cloud computing environments - Collaboration in data-intensive scientific discovery - Collaboration in social media - Big data and spatio-temporal data in collaborative environments/systems - Collaboration techniques in data-intensive computing and cloud computing - Collaborative e-education, e-learning, and collaborative computing in large scale digital libraries - Collaboration in health-care environments - Collaborative information seeking - Collaborative mobile networks and infrastructures - Collaborative technologies for fast creation and deployment of new mobile services - Collaborative sensor networks, unmanned air and ground vehicle networks and applications - Collaborative, context-aware infrastructure - Collaborative, location-aware mobile systems/applications - Computer supported collaborative work with distributed systems - Cyber-physical systems - Distributed collaborative workflows - Data management and middleware support for collaborative information systems - Energy management for collaborative networks - Group-driven composition of systems from components - Human-centric ubiquitous collaboration - Human-robot collaboration - Internet of Things (IoT) and collaboration - Methodologies and tools for design and analysis of collaborative user applications - Models and mechanisms for real-time collaboration - Multi-agent technology and software technologies for collaborative networking and applications - Peer-to-peer and overlay networks, systems, and applications - Security, privacy and trust management in collaborative networks, systems, and applications - Simulation, performance evaluation, experiments, and case studies of collaborative networks and applications - Software design, testing, and experimentation technology for collaborative networking and applications - Theoretical foundations and algorithms for collaborative networks, applications, and worksharing - Tools for collaborative decision making processes - Trustworthy collaborative business processing in virtual organizations - Visualization techniques, interaction devices and visual languages for collaborative networks and applications - Web services technologies and service-oriented architectures for collaborative networking and applications - Workflow management for collaborative networks/systems [Industry Track Papers] The Industry/Government Track solicits papers describing implementations of Collaborative Computing solutions relevant to industrial or government settings. The primary emphasis is on papers that advance the understanding of practical, applied, or pragmatic issues related to the use of Collaborative Computing technologies in industry and government and highlight new research challenges arising from attempts to create such real applications. Applications can be in any field including, but not limited to: e-commerce, medical and pharmaceutical, defense, public policy, finance, engineering, environment, manufacturing, telecommunications, and government. The Industry/Government Track will consist of competitively-selected contributed papers. Submitters must clearly identify in which of the following sub-areas their paper should be evaluated as distinct review criteria will be used to evaluate each category of submission. - Deployed: Deployed systems that are providing real value to industry, Government, or other organizations or professions. These deployed systems should point out how they explicitly leverage Collaborative Computing technologies or describe either qualitatively (lessons learned, deployment experiences, etc.) or quantitatively the impact of using Collaborative Computing technologies for enhancing operational systems. - Emerging: Emerging applications and technology must have clear user interest and demonstrable value to Industry, Government, or other users (e.g., scientific or medical professions) to distinguish them from research track papers, or they must provide insight into issues and factors that affect the successful use of Collaborative Computing technology and methods. Papers that describe infrastructure that enables the large-scale deployment of Collaborative Computing techniques or external validation of Collaborative Computing technologies are in this area. [Awards] As in previous years, CollaborateCom 2014 will feature a best paper award and a best student paper award (to be selected by the program committee). A paper is eligible for the best student paper award if the first author is a full-time student at the time of submission. A partial travel grant will be offered to the winner student. [Paper Submission] We invite original research papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Contributions addressing all areas related to collaborative networking, technology and systems, and applications are solicited.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: info(a)conf-icnc.org Gesendet: 11. Juni 2014 07:28:53 MESZ An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Betreff: ICNC 2015 CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS SPAN 2015 The Second International Workshop on Sensor, Peer-to-peer and SociAl Networks, ICNC 2015 In conjunction with The 2015 International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications (ICNC 2015), Anaheim, CA, USA, February 16-19, 2015 Workshop Date: Monday, February 16th, 2015 URL: http://www.conf-icnc.org/2015/ Workshop Paper Submission Link: http://edas.info/N18165 I. Workshop Scope SPAN 2015 aims to attract attention from the research community to the interplay of algorithmic tools and techniques in the collective fields of Sensor, P2P and Social Networks. Smart, wireless, networked sensors will soon be all around us, collectively processing vast amounts of previously unrecorded data to help run factories, optimize farming, monitor the weather and myriad other applications. It is clear that wireless sensor networks will become as important as the Internet, capable of routing application-specific data across a wireless mesh, ad hoc peer-to-peer network in which they organize themselves and assist each other in transmitting data. These advances made in the area of sensor networks will naturally have a profound impact on our understanding and operation of traditional Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems which are widely used in today's Internet. The confluence of ideas driving sensor and P2P systems is expected to be intensified by social networks. By attracting more than h alf a billion users worldwide, social networks provide a new venue of innovation with many challenging and practical research problems. In particular, as time evolves, P2P and future sensor network applications will necessarily need to involve social information to enhance the user�s experience. SPAN 2015, aptly named for its goal, is organized with the objective of bringing together researchers working on the intersection of Sensor, Peer-to-Peer (P2P), and Social Networks to present and discuss their latest research results and ideas, thereby promoting the development and SPANning the evolution of this combined body of knowledge. All submissions enabling cross-pollination of ideas on P2P, Sensor and Social Networks related to design, simulation, security, analysis and measurement are welcome. We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work, even reporting work in early stages. Topics revolve around the interplay of algorithms, tools and techniques applicable in sensor, p2p and social networks and include, but are not limited to: - Social network analysis techniques applied to P2P, Sensor and distributed computing systems - Socially informed Sensor/P2P infrastructures - Social Network-inspired systems and designs for P2P and Sensor - P2P and Sensor Network-based social networking architectures - Socially Aware Sensor/P2P Overlay architectures and topologies - Evolution of P2P and social communities and systems - Reputation, incentives, and economics in P2P/Sensor/Social systems - Mobile P2P and social networking systems - User behavior analysis and modeling in Social Networks and applications to P2P and Sensor networks - Decentralized Social Networks Applications - Graph theoretic analysis of Sensor, P2P and Social networks - Security, privacy and anonymity issues in SPAN - Policy enforcement, participation incentives, trust, and reputation - Cooperation, incentives, and fairness in SPAN. - P2P, sensor and social network economics Papers accepted for the SPAN 2015 workshop will be, after being presented onsite at the workshop, included in the proceedings to be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore and indexing by EI Compendex. II. Important Dates: When: Feb. 16th, 2015 Where: Anaheim, CA, USA Submission Deadline: July 31, 2014 Notification Due: September 30, 2014 Final/Camera-Ready Version Due: October 20, 2014 III.
