CFPs for Individual DCOSS WORKSHOPS

========================================================================= International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPS-Sec) - http://www.cps-security.org 28 May 2014, Marina Del Rey, California, USA

In conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS 2014) - http://www.dcoss.org

** Scope **

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) consist of large-scale interconnected systems of heterogeneous components interacting with their physical environments. In the CPS realm, humans and/or smart networked devices interact with and control the physical world around them through actuators, sensors, etc. “CPS is envisioned to transform the way people interact with engineered systems, just as the Internet transformed the way people interact with information." (US National Science Foundation). Today, the boundary between cyber and physical systems is blurring. Indeed, cyber devices that can interact with the physical world are on the rise. For instance, smart phones and tablets are all equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometers, GPS), which enable the vision of CPS by allowing human beings to interact with the physical world. Similarly, a multitude of CPS devices and applications exist in industrial, transportation, medical, home-security, building automation, emergency management, and many other systems, which serve critical functions in our lives. Given the popularity of the CPS applications, securing them against malicious activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications can cause enormous damage to individuals, businesses, and nations.

Therefore, the International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPS-Sec) seeks novel submissions describing practical and theoretical solutions to the cybersecurity challenges facing CPS. Submissions may represent any application area for CPS. Hence, papers that are pertinent to the security of embedded systems, Internet of Things, SCADA Systems, Smart-Grid Systems, Critical Infrastructure Networks, Transportation Systems, Medical Devices are all welcome. Example topics of interest are given below, but are not limited to:

- Secure CPS architectures - Authentication mechanisms for CPS - Access control for CPS - Key management in CPS - Data security and privacy for CPS - Forensics for CPS - Intrusion detection for CPS - Trusted-computing in CPS - Energy-efficient and secure CPS - Availability, recovery and auditing for CPS - Distributed secure solutions for CPS - Threat models for CPS - Physical layer security for CPS - Security on heterogeneous CPS - Secure protocol design in CPS - Vulnerability analysis of CPS - Anonymization in CPS - Security of CPS in automotive systems - Security of CPS in aerospace systems - Security of embedded systems - Security of CPS in medical devices/systems - Security of CPS in civil engineering systems/devices - Security of industrial control systems - Security of Internet-of-Things

International Workshop on Energy Awareness for Heterogeneous Networks: Recent Hardware and Software-Defined Solutions (EAHN 2014) In conjuction with IEEE DCOSS 2014

Today’s advanced cellular networks struggle to cope with the ever-increasing real-time and non-real time service demands of highly mobile users. The plethora of these services requests leads the provision of novel next generation communications modes. As one of these convenient solutions to foster new demands and services, the implementation of the Heterogeneous Networks, HetNets, has emerged as a promising approach among academic and industrial researchers. However, the implementation of HetNets has also brought huge energy consumption and energy efficiency challenges. The execution of energy aware and green communication paradigms in HetNets still remains to be addressed. This workshop is expected to merge researchers with academic and industrial visions in order to discuss the major aforementioned challenges and to stimulate novel contributions in energy aware HetNets implementations with powerful physical and software-defined networking points of view.

The workshop will provide an avenue for active collaboration and networking between researchers and industry representatives. Topics of interest cover most of the recent hardware and software defined communication aspects for energy awareness in HetNets including (but not limited to):

- Energy efficient MIMO techniques for HetNets - Green interference management - Energy harvesting in HetNet deployments - Energy aware testbed implementations in HetNets - SDN based management for green HetNets - Self-optimization and self-healing aspects - Green traffic engineering in Hetnets - Energy efficient HetNets virtualization - Energy efficient programmability in SDN controllers for HetNets - Green routing and forwarding schemes in SDN based HetNets

Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed 5 pages, but one additional page will be allowed with additional publication fee. An accepted paper must be registered before the registration deadline. An accepted paper must be presented at the workshop. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings and the program. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the IEEE proceedings and IEEE digital library.

International workshop on Internet of Things – Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-14) In conjuction with IEEE DCOSS 2014

(Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal)

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.

** Tracks and Topics ** 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.

The 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 for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues

** Submission&Dates ** Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on scientific issues related to IoTIP topics of interest.

Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX formats are found at here: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

PWSN 2014 6th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2014/

May 28 2014, Marina Del Ray, California, USA

In conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '14) =========================================================================

Most existing wireless sensor network (WSN) installations have in common that they are not considered time-critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. However, many emerging WSN applications such as plant automation and control, smart cities or health care applications require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network. In some scenarios, data even has to travel through the sensor network and the Internet to reach the destination. In this situation the overall system spanning the Internet and sensor networks must provide together the required performance characteristics. Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a WSN with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved.

The PWSN workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners designing and deploying sensor networks that have to meet specific performance targets.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- • Communication protocols with deterministic performance • Network resilience, fault tolerance, network survivability • Sensor data quality, integrity, and availability • Performance-aware middleware • Real-time operating systems for sensor networks • Actuation and control • Programming abstractions for deterministic sensor networks • Impact of security features on network performance • Experience with real-world deployments and applications • Performance management of deployed sensor networks • Timely data storage, retrieval, and processing • Performance modelling and performance evaluation • Configuration and installation support • Performance debugging and performance optimization

Important dates: ---------------- Paper Submission deadline: March 21, 2014 Acceptance Notification: April 7, 2014 Camera Ready Paper: April 14, 2014 Workshop date: May 28, 2014
