[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. ] Call for papers: IEEE Transactions on Computers Special Issue on "Selected Topics in Smart City Computing" http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tcsi_stscc.p… IMPORTANT DATES *************************** Open for submissions in ScholarOne Manuscripts: Nov. 1, 2014 Closed for submissions: February 1, 2015 --> Feb. 15th. 2015 Results of first round of reviews: May 1, 2015 Submission of revised manuscripts: June 1, 2015 Results of second round of reviews: Aug. 1, 2015 Publication materials due: Sep. 1, 2015 DETAILS ABOUT THE ISSUE *************************** Developing smart city is the key to the next generation urbanization process for improving the efficiency, reliability, and security of a traditional city. The concept of smart city includes various aspects such as environmental sustainability, social sustainability, regional competitiveness, natural resources management, cybersecurity, and quality of life improvement. With the massive deployment of networked smart devices/sensors, unprecedentedly large amount of sensory data can be collected and processed by advanced computing paradigms which are the enabling techniques for smart city. For example, given historical environmental, population and economic information, salient modeling and analytics are needed to simulate the impact of potential city planning strategies, which will be critical for intelligent decision making. Analytics are also indispensable for discovering the underlying structure from retrieved data in order to design the optimal policies for real time automatic control in the cyberphysical smart city system. Furthermore, uncertainties and security concerns in the data collected from heterogeneous resources aggravate the problem, which makes smart city planning, operation, monitoring and control highly challenging. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Advanced big data modeling and analytics for smart city planning, monitoring and control * Social media, crowdsourcing and collaborative behavior management * Outdoor/indoor geolocation and cartography continuity * Design and implementation of embedded system for smart city applications * Advanced control techniques in the smart city as a cyberphysical system * Technologies in electrical vehicle, smart building and smart home * Cybersecurity and privacy issues related to smart city * Heterogeneous sensor network and cooperative sensing for smart city * Renewable energy and smart energy management for smart city * Design and synthesis of computing schemes and architectures for smart city * Development of fault detection and diagnosis techniques for smart city * Modeling and computing techniques for environmental and social issues in smart city * Sustainable technologies for smart city SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *************************** Prospective authors are invited to submit their manuscripts electronically after the "open for submissions" date, adhering to the IEEE Transactions on Computers guidelines (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/tc/author) Please submit your papers through the online system ( https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tc-cs) and be sure to select the special issue or special section name. Manuscripts should not be published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Please submit only full papers intended for review, not abstracts, to the ScholarOne portal. If requested, abstracts should be sent by e-mail to the Guest Editors directly.

ARES 2015 - CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************************************************** The Tenth International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2015) August 24th – 28th, 2015, Toulouse, France http://www.ares-conference.eu/ ****************************************************************************************** *********** ARES CONFERENCE ************ The 10th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (“ARES”) will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of dependability. ARES will highlight the various aspects of security - with special focus on the crucial linkage between availability, reliability and security. ARES aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of security as an integrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, confidentiality, integrity, maintainability and security in the different fields of applications. ARES will emphasize the interplay between foundations and practical issues of security in emerging areas such as e-government, m-government, location-based applications, ubiquitous computing, autonomous computing, chances of grid computing etc. ARES is devoted to the critical examination and research challenges of the various aspects of Secure and Dependable Computing and the definition of a future road map. Selected papers that are accepted by and presented at the ARES Conference will be published, after further revision, in special issues of international journals. The acceptance rate of the ARES 2014 conference was 16%. The ARES conferences have been published by IEEE CPS. ************ CONFERENCE OFFICERS ************ General Chair Abdelmalek Benzekri, Université Paul Sabatier, France Program Committee Chair Stefan Katzenbeisser, TU Darmstadt, Germany ************ IMPORTANT DATES ************ Submission Deadline: March 2, 2015 Author Notification: May 11, 2015 Proceedings Version: June 8, 2015 Conference: August 24-28, 2015 ************ SUBMISSION ************ The proceedings of ARES (including workshops) have been published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) of IEEE. Authors of selected papers that are accepted by and presented at the ARES Conference (including workshops) will be invited to submit an extended version to special issues of international journals. Authors are invited to submit research and application papers according the following guidelines: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 pt fonts and number each page. For the main conference as well as the workshops submission papers are classified into 3 categorizes representing original, previously unpublished work: full paper (10 pages) short paper (6 pages) workshop paper (8 pages, a maximum of 10 pages is tolerated) extended abstracts (2 pages, only possible in the ARES Industrial track) Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, presentation and clarity of exposition. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. ARES, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may take action against authors who have committed them. Double blind review: ARES requires anonymized submissions – please make sure that submitted papers contain no author names or obvious self-references. ************ PROGRAM COMMITTEE ************ Jon A.
