Chang, HTC Corporation Fang-Jing Wu, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Zhenhui Jessie Li, Pennsylvania State University Venue & Dates: May 13, 2014, Tainan, Taiwan Conference Website: http://hscc.cs.nctu.edu.tw/~fangjing/index.html Introduction The massive data streams and diverse modalities of digital information sources being captured at an incredible rate have enriched the confluence of ubiquitous computing, networking technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), data mining, machine learning, and data visualization and also boosted many promising applications in environmental sensing, urban mobility, transportation, emergency response, social networks, healthcare, security, and IT infrastructure. However, the captured big data is usually sparsely collected, noisy, incomplete, and untrustworthy. Moreover, the sheer volume of sensor data, as well as its streaming and distributed nature, raises many technical challenges of mobile sensing, data mining, data visualization, and real-world applications. Government organizations, commercial enterprise, and individuals rely on different technologies form conventional wireless sensor platforms to smartphones to collect big sensing data, extract knowledge from the big data, and visualize big data from several perspectives so as to develop the expected applications in pervasive environments. Several successful applications attract not only the research efforts but also the industry investments for big data science. As the big data science involved in developing applications for these classes of problems lies at the intersection of several diverse disciplines, the workshop aims at several important research topics, including (1) data sensing : how to collect multi-dimensional and high-quality data effectively, how to collect data without compromising personal privacy, and how to design incentive sensing models which may incorporate participatory sensing, crowdsourcing, cooperative and opportunistic sensing technologies for Novel Applications; (2) data mining : how current data mining, machine learning and knowledge discovery methods can be extended to mining solutions for dealing with real-world problems, how to infer human intentions, recognize activities and extract knowledge from unstructured data, and how to design distributed, parallel, and scalable mining algorithms to handle large, multi-modal, heterogeneous and distributed streams of data; and (3) data visualization : how to visualize heterogeneous streaming data in a real-time way, how to represent data in a more intuitive way, and how to abstract key information to visualize the relationship between data. The 1st workshop on Mobile Sensing, Mining and Visualization for Human Behavior Inference will serve as a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set future directions in big data science. This workshop encourages authors to develop real-world applications and evaluate their methodologies using the real big datasets and investigate challenging problems based on large-scale deployment in the real world. We plan to invite a keynote speaker who has pioneer contributions in several areas including indoor positioning, big data mining, social networking and search integration, and Web search (spam fighting) to give a talk about the current trend and the future development of big data science. The topics of interest related to this workshop include, but are not limited to: - Mobile data collection models - Participatory, opportunistic and collaborative sensing - Mining large scale sensor data - Activity recognition and subjective sensing for mobile and pervasive applications - Data mining techniques for real-world pervasive computing applications - Unsupervised methods for discovering interesting patterns - Supervised machine learning methods for analyzing data in pervasive environments - Streaming data visualization - Visual search and recommendation - Big data storytelling using visualization - Scalable parallel visualization methods - Test-beds and real-world deployments - Big data sensing, mining, and visualization applications including cyber intelligence, cyber security, business intelligence, e-commerce, scientific data analysis, education, etc. Submission Guidelines The submitted paper should adhere to the double-blind review policy . All papers will be double-blind reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to the workshop scope, originality, significance, and clarity. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Detailed instructions are provided on the workshop home page. Papers that do not comply with the Submission Guidelines will be rejected without review . Each submitted paper should include an abstract up to 200 words and be not longer than 12 single-spaced pages with 10pt font size. Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript submission guidelines (available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html ) for their initial submissions.

CFP - ANTIFRAGILE 2014 - 1st International Workshop “From Dependable to Resilient, from Resilient to Antifragile Ambients and Systems”
by Vincenzo De Florio 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Dear Sirs, dear Madams, I would be grateful if you would post the following CFP to this mailing list -- thank you very much Kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio ANTIFRAGILE 2014 1st International Workshop “From Dependable to Resilient, from Resilient to Antifragile Ambients and Systems” As well-known, dependability refers to a system’s trustworthiness and measures several aspects of the quality of its services – for instance how reliable, available, safe, or maintainable those services are. Resilience differs from dependability in that it focuses on the system itself rather that its services; it implies that the system when subjected to faults and changes 1) will continue distributing its services 2) without losing its peculiar traits, its identity: the system will “stay the same”. Antifragility goes one step further and suggests that certain systems could actually “get better”, namely improve their system-environment fit, when subjected (to some system-specific extent) to faults and changes. Recent studies of Professor N. Taleb introduced the concept of antifragility and provided a characterization of the behaviors enacted by antifragile systems. The engineering of antifragile computer-based systems is a challenge that, once met, would allow systems and ambients to self-evolve and self-improve by learning from accidents and mistakes in a way not dissimilar to that of human beings. Learning how to design and craft antifragile systems is an extraordinary challenge whose tackling is likely to reverberate on many a computer engineering field. New methods, programming languages, even custom platforms will have to be designed. The expected returns are extraordinary as well: antifragile computer engineering promises to enable realizing truly autonomic systems and ambients able to meta-adapt to changing circumstances; to self-adjust to dynamically changing environments and ambients; to self-organize so as to track dynamically and proactively optimal strategies to sustain scalability, high-performance, and energy efficiency; to personalize their aspects and behaviors after each and every user. And to learn how to get better while doing it. The ambition and mission of ANTIFRAGILE is to enhance the awareness of the above challenges and to begin a discussion on how computer and software engineering may address them. As a design aspect cross-cutting through all system and communication layers, antifragile engineering will require multi-disciplinary visions and approaches able to bridge the gaps between “distant” research communities so as to • propose novel solutions to design and develop antifragile systems and ambients; • devise conceptual models and paradigms for antifragility; • provide analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to withstand faults, adjust to new environments, and enhance their resilience in the process; • foster the exchange of ideas and lively discussions able to drive future research and development efforts in the area. The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Conceptual frameworks for antifragile systems, ambients, and behaviours; • Dependability, resilience, and antifragile requirements and open issues; • Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing antifragile systems and behaviours; • Frameworks and techniques enabling resilient and antifragile applications; • Antifragile human-machine interaction; • End-to-end approaches towards antifragile services; • Autonomic antifragile behaviours; • Middleware architectures and mechanisms for resilience and antifragility; • Theoretical foundation of resilient and antifragile behaviours; • Formal modeling of resilience and antifragility; • Programming language support for resilience and antifragility; • Machine learning as a foundation of resilient and antifragile architectures; • Antifragility and resiliency against malicious attacks; • Antifragility and the Cloud; • Service Level Agreements for Antifragility; • Antifragile and resilient services. ANTIFRAGILE is co-located with the 5th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies, June 2 - 5, 2014, Hasselt, Belgium (http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-14/).

Conference on Communications (ICC'14) Sydney, Australia, June 14, 2014. http://e2nets.org/ *********************************************************************** Technical sponsorship by IEEE TSCGCC and IEEE TCCN and by iCore and ProFun projects Important Dates *************** Paper Submission Deadline: December 15, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 20, 2014 Camera-Ready Submission: March 15, 2014 Scope ***** With ICT technologies, such as wireless networking, the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M), and cognitive networking, we have the opportunity to detect, prevent, and automate solutions for energy efficiency as well as creating a more sustainable society. However, for this to be a viable option, also the ICT technologies must be energy efficient. Instead of looking at these two problems in silo, we believe in a venue for researchers and practitioners in both these fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements and context can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. Green network architectures will be the cross- layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the quality/grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Topics ****** In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Energy efficient Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities * Energy efficient wireless sensor networks and their applications * Energy efficient ad hoc network services * Energy efficient algorithms/protocols and their implementations * Energy efficient service discovery and service provisioning * Cognitive techniques to control networking energy efficiency * Optimization of energy efficient networking * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency * Methodologies/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy-efficiency measures * Energy-efficient flooding/multicasting * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency * Algorithms for energy efficient scheduling and resource management * Energy harvesting techniques and strategies * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns to reduce energy expenditure * Hybrid fiber-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, this workshop considers the following topics on wireless networks for energy efficiency: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems, including transportation, houses, buildings, industrial processes, and smart cities. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications, * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments * Internet of Things (IoT) for making energy efficient systems * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions * ICT systems for a sustainable and green world * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy efficient virtualization of resources * Energy efficient radio resource management * Energy efficient smart homes and energy monitoring * Applications in smart grids and smart and sustainable cities * Optimization of smart, homes, cities, societies, and networks Tentative Committees ******************** General Chair * Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada General Co-Chairs * R.
