********************************************************************************************* Call for papers IEEE DCOSS 2nd International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-14) May 28, 2014 Marina Del Rey, USA https://iotip2014.hds.utc.fr/ Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal ********************************************************************************************* Important dates Submission Deadline: March 9th 2014, Acceptance Notification: April 1st 2014, Camera Ready Due: April 13th 2014, Workshop Date: May 28th, 2014 Call for papers Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution.?The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate "Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware for IoT - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at:http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.….

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Rute Sofia <rute.sofia(a)ULUSOFONA.PT> Gesendet: 19. März 2014 13:04:32 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, User-centric Networking and Services Series - NEW submission deadline: March 31st 2014 /(Apologies for eventual mail duplicates) / / / */IEEE Communications Magazine, User-centric Networking and Services/* /User-centric networks (UCNs)/ are a recent architectural trend of self-organizing, autonomic networks where the Internet end-user cooperates by sharing network services and resources. UCNs are spontaneous and grassroots deployments of wireless architectures (e.g., ad-hoc or infrastructure), often involving low-cost deployment. Furthermore, users in such environments tend to roam frequently. In such roaming environments, users carry equipment that plays an active role in terms of topology changes (e.g., an LTE phone which is sharing Internet access to other surrounding devices, may become active or inactive without operator control). Common to user-centric environments is a social behaviour that heavily impacts network operation from an end-to-end perspective, and on the different layers of the OSI stack. UCNs empower the end-user as a new Internet stakeholder and not just as a consumer and producer of content. User-centric networking technologies can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, encompassing: i) sharing subscribed broadband Internet access; ii) providing support for better Internet connectivity; iii) allowing the use of communication services even in the absence of reliable Internet access; iv) assisting networking services based on user involvement for the detection and repair of communication problems. The new role of an empowered end-user is disruptive in several aspects, namely: i) in the end-to-end Internet paradigm, end-user devices will actively participate as a network element in addition to being an endpoint host; ii) network boundaries of trust will need to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior; and iii) end-user devices should be capable of handling intermittent Internet connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators. There is also the need to further understand wholesale models incorporating UCNs, as well as to understand the impact of UCNs in the context of standardization. This special issue is accepting papers on the topics including, but not limited to, the following: * To promote unprecedented approaches and techniques in participatory and opportunistic data collection, communication, analysis, and visualization; * To identify open issues which remain a challenge towards the convergence of information and communication technologies, privacy protection methods, social and psychological theories in MCS; * To exploit novel application areas and demonstrate the benefits of MCS in contrast with more traditional static sensing approaches. *Topics may include (but are not limited to):* * Community detection and social interaction * Dynamic trust management models * Cooperation incentive models * Distributed mobility management * Human behavior and mobility prediction * Virtual currency architectures and models * Resource management in spontaneous environments * Cooperative networking * Market impact and analysis of UCN integration * Standardization aspects in regards to UCN topics such as user liability, authentication, and highly efficient WLANs.
