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 conference that aims to explore these dynamics within the scope of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the new science of cities. The goal of the conference is to solicit original and inspiring research contributions from technology experts, designers, researchers, urban planners, and architects in academia and industry. Bringing together practitioners and researchers to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices, Urb-IoT 2014 seeks multi-disciplinary contributions 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. Topics ====== Topics are themed by urban space and include, but are not limited to: Monitoring the pulse of the city Fusion of heterogeneous urban sources Understanding urban data using machine learning and mining techniques Visual analytics of urban data City as a platform Participatory and crowd sourcing techniques Incentification and gamification Citizen and crowd influence and behavioural change Data-driven urban planning and design Crowd behaviour capturing and modelling Urban mobility and intelligent transportation systems Smart cities Real time urban information systems Context awareness in urban systems Privacy and data protection Submissions =========== All papers will be reviewed by an international program committee with the appropriate expertise. At least two members of the Program Committee and a set of external expert reviewers will review submitted papers. At a PC meeting, the committee will select the papers to be presented at Urb-IoT 2014. Research contributions will be selected on the basis of novelty, technical merit, and a clear presentation.

Novel VANET-enabled active safety automotive applications are heavily dependent on reliability and security of underlying inter-vehicle communication protocols. The error-prone nature of the wireless channel and its openness to external invasions as well as dynamic VANET environment, impose the need for intensive studies before applications like platooning or collision avoidance can become a part of our daily life. The aim of this special issue is to encompass research advances in all areas of reliability and security in VANETs. We welcome contributions relating to novel protocols for reliable and secure vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication as well as methods for their performance evaluation. This special issue intends to provide a venue for interested researchers and practitioners to share their novel research results. Topics of interest (include but are not limited to) ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Quality of service in VANETs and cross-layer optimization - Safety-critical inter-vehicle communications - Availability, performability, and survivability - IEEE 802.11p/1609 protocols - Performance evaluation methods and tools - Field monitoring and measurement - Misbehavior detection and mitigation in VANETs - Intrusion tolerance and attack models in VANETs - Privacy-enhancing technologies for vehicular communication systems - Cryptographic protocols and algorithms, and their security - System architecture and design for reliable and secure VANETs - Mobile cloud computing enabled reliability and security for VANETs - Information-centric networking (ICN) reliability and security support for VANETs Guest Editors ------------------- - Xiaomin Ma, Oral Roberts University, USA - Dijiang Huang, Arizona State University, USA - Alexey Vinel, Halmstad University, Sweden Important Dates ----------------------- - Manuscript submission deadline: June 30th, 2014 - First notification date: August 15th, 2014 - Expected publication date: Nov/Dec 2014 Submission Procedure ------------------------------- Papers submitted to this special issue for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journal or conference. TDSC requires meaningful technical novelty in submissions that extend previously published conference papers. Extension beyond the conference version(s) is not simply a matter of length. Thus, expanded motivation, expanded discussion of related work, variants of previously reported algorithms, incremental additional experiments/simulations, may provide additional length but will fall below the line for proceeding with review.

================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd IEEE Workshop on Telecommunication Standards: "From Research to Standards" Part of IEEE Globecom Dec. 8-12, 2014, Austin, Texas, USA The workshop's BEST PAPERS will be recommended for publication at the IEEE Communications Magazine's supplement on Communications Standards. Recommended papers have to follow the submission guidelines of IEEE Communications Magazine. The emergence of nearly-ubiquitous mobile broadband connectivity is revolutionizing the way people live, work, interact, and socialize. Telecommunications are at the heart of this social revolution and have been attracting ever-increasing attention from researchers in both academia and industry. Although both communities have been making outstanding contributions to communications, frequently, one of these communities is unaware of the capacities, expertise, and challenges faced by the other. Standards are keys for the success of the communications industry, as enablers of global systems inter-operability. Moreover, since standardization is inherently a social body, it is a perfect environment for promoting technologies that will evolve an increasingly information oriented society. Building on the success of the previous editions of the workshop, the goal of this event is to close the gap between researchers, scientists, and standards experts from both academia and industry, and to promote standardization as an imperative vehicle for global consensus and cooperation among the key players, especially on the development of next-generation mobile communications systems (5G). An additional goal is to assemble experts from different standardization bodies, providing opportunities for a closer understanding and collaboration, catalyzing development of more interoperable standards, as well as more efficient and effective communication systems. The workshop will be organized in Austin, Texas, as part of IEEE Globecom 2014. The workshop will deliver high quality technical as well as visionary papers, which will be reviewed and selected by an international technical program committee (TPC) representing both academia and industry, with a strong standardization background. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, enhancements to existing systems and communication protocols developed by standards bodies such as ITU-T, IEEE, IETF, 3GPP, TISPAN, ETSI, OMA, Broadband Forum, oneM2M, among others. Visionary papers on hot topics, such as Advanced 5G Network Infrastructure, Software Defined Networks and Services, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), and other works in progress being currently discussed by the standardization bodies are also welcome. All submissions are required to comply with Globecom’s guidelines. Initial submissions for review are limited to seven (7) pages. Camera-ready papers should not exceed six (6) pages including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with over length page charge). Each accepted paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the co-authors. Only timely submissions through EDAS will be accepted for review. Accepted papers will appear in IEEE Xplore.
