Call for Submissions

Celebrating its 10 year anniversary, the sixth in a highly-successful series of biennial international conferences on INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS (ITA 15) will be held in Wrexham, North East Wales, UK from Tuesday 8th to Friday 11th September 2015.

ITA 15 is sponsored by the IEEE with papers submitted to IEEE XPlore.  Papers will also be indexed in Scopus.

The conference will draw together researchers, artists and developers from academia and industry across all fields of Internet computing, creative digital media, moving image and engineering.  All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.  The conference proceedings will be submitted to be indexed to Scopus and Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (Web of Science). There will be a range of events from keynote addresses, technical and poster sessions, workshops, tutorials and for the second time we will be hosting a specially curated exposition of artworks relating to the conference proceedings.  The formal sessions will be supplemented by an excellent social programme including a visit to the historic English city of Chester, a boat trip on the River Dee and a medieval Welsh banquet at Ruthin Castle.  See the conference website (http://www.ita15.net) for full details of submission and registration.  ITA 05, ITA 07, ITA 09, ITA 11, and ITA 13 (www.ita13.org) were thoroughly enjoyed by all the many participants.  Come and join us in Wales in September 2015 and be part of ITA 15!

The Ninth IEEE International Workshop on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications

CALL FOR PAPERS

               The Ninth IEEE International Workshop on
              Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications
                             (AOC 2015)

                   http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2015

                           sponsored by
                       IEEE Computer Society,
                        EU FP7 MOTO Project

                  June 14-17 2015, Boston, MA, USA



The diffusion of lightweight, powerful portable devices, also enriched with a
variety of sensing capabilities, is enabling new ways for users' communication,
and laying the foundation for realizing the ubiquitous networking idea. Acting
either as the main communication mode or as complement to existing mobile
network infrastructures, opportunistic networking can leverage the mobility of
end users and enhance their communication capabilities. The opportunistic
exploitation of extemporary contacts among the users of the network paves the
way to a number of applications but also poses new and challenging problems to
the networking research community. The AOC 2015 workshop aims at serving as a
meeting point for people working in the area and a forum for exchanging ideas,
discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers, professionals,
and application developers, both from industry and academia.  As with the
previous eight editions of the AOC workshop series, the scope of this year's
workshop will remain on general issues related to opportunistic networking and
computing. Yet, AOC 2015 will have a primary interest in new directions of
opportunistic communications, such as mobile social networking, autonomous
solutions for smart cities, big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
service composition techniques, scenarios of co-existence with infrastructure
networks, and insights to their operation coming from other disciplines such as
game theory and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers
addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic
communications but also papers describing prototype implementations and
deployments.


Topics of interest for AOC 2015 include, but are not limited to:

- Techniques for data dissemination and replication
- Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms
- Autonomous and self-adaptive systems for smart cities
- Autonomous solutions for IoT and cyber-physical systems
- Big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
- Mobile social networking algorithms and applications
- Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless
  networks
- Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces
- Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks
- Cognition-driven information processing and decision making
- Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and
  opportunistic communications
- Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks
- Game-theoretic insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic
  networks
- Trust, security, and reputation
- Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement
  data from real experiments
- Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications
- Autonomic and opportunistic solutions for mobile cloud applications
- Applications and middleware support
- Routing, transport, and reliability issues

Fog Networking for 5G and IoT workshop

==============================

===========
CFP: Fog Networking for 5G and IoT workshop
>>>>> In conjunction with SECON 2015 <<<<<
=========================================
22 June 2015, SEATTLE - USA

http://secon2015.ieee-secon.org/workshop-program

Important dates
Submission deadline(Hard): April 1st, 2015
Notification of acceptance: April 15th, 2015
Camera Ready: April 30th, 2015
Workshop: June 22nd, 2015


Scope:

Pushing computation, control and storage into the "cloud" has been a key trend in networking in the past decade. Over-dependence on the cloud, however, indicates that availability and fault tolerance issues in the cloud would directly impact millions of end-users. Indeed, the cloud is now "descending" to the network edge and often diffused among the client devices in both mobile and wireline networks. The cloud is becoming the "fog."
Empowered by the latest chips, radios, and sensors, each client device today is powerful in computation, in storage, in sensing and in communication. Yet client devices are still limited in battery power, global view of the network, and mobility support. Most interestingly, the collection of many clients in a crowd presents a highly distributed, under-organized, and possibly dense network. Further, wireless networks is increasingly used locally, e.g. intra-building, intra-vehicle, and personal body-area networks; and data generated locally is increasingly consumed locally.
Fog Network presents an architecture that uses one or a collaborative multitude of end-user clients or near-user edge devices to carry out storage, communication, computation, and control in a network.
It is an architecture that will support the Internet of Things, heterogeneous 5G mobile services, and home and personal area networks. Fog Networking leverages past experience in sensor networks, P2P and MANET research, and incorporates the latest advances in devices, network systems, and data science to reshape the "balance of power" in the ecosystem of computing and networking.
As the first high-quality IEEE workshop in the emergent area of Fog Networking, this workshop's scope includes:
-       Edge data analytics and stream mining
-       Edge resource pooling
-       Edge caching and distributed data center
-       Client-side measurement and crowd-sensing
-       Client-side control and configuration
-       Security and privacy in Fog
-       Fog applications in IoT
-       Fog applications in 5G
-       Fog applications in home and personal area networking

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE FOG Networking Proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and IEEE Xplore Digital Library.To be published in the IEEE FOG Networking Proceedings an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the workshop at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions.  Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper.  For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers.
