[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 22nd Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2021) *https://hotmobile.org/2021/ <https://hotmobile.org/2021/>* Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE February 24-26, 2021 Cyberspace *Call for Papers* ACM HotMobile 2021, the Twenty-second International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on systems and applications and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We especially encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the state-of-the-art, debunk existing assumptions, report unexpected early results, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations suffice. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over a “6-pages conference paper.” We take a broad view of Mobile Systems research. This includes: · Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility. · Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing. · Wearable computing, internet of things, edge computing, sensing, and context-awareness. · HCI issues related to mobile computing. · Security and privacy of mobile computing. · Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility. · Wireless technology, as it pertains to mobile systems and applications. *·* *Mobile and wireless technologies on lessening or resolving various issues related to COVID-19 and future similar epidemics/pandemics.* Important dates : · Deadline for submissions *October 30, 2020, 11:59pm EDT* · Acceptance notification *December** 23, 2020* Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and mature ideas to warrant publication. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. The submissions must meet the following formatting requirements: · Font size no smaller than 10pt. · Font size of the bibliography no smaller than 9pt. · Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column. · Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches). We recommend the use of the "sigconf" ACM proceedings template, available at: http://www.acm.org/, with the font size of the main body amended to 10pt. An example Tex document can be found here. For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. Please note that it is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the submissions are meeting all formatting requirements. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2021 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. --- HotMobile in the Time of COVID-19--- We have been closely monitoring the progress of COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on conferences and travel restrictions. As much as we prefer to hold in-person conferences, the safety and well-being of the community is our top priority. Therefore, we would like to announce that ACM HotMobile 2021 has been decided to be taking place entirely virtual. With the change, we will also be able to offer a very low registration fee while you worry less about travel restrictions/costs. Please do not hesitate to contribute your latest research result to the workshop! Stay safe, and we look forward to receiving your submissions. General Chair: Mirco Musolesi (University College London, UK, m.musolesi(a)ucl.ac.uk) Program Committee Chair: Junehwa Song (KAIST, Korea, junesong(a)nclab.kaist.ac.kr)

An ad hoc network is a wireless system, in which mobile or static nodes are connected using wireless links and cooperate to self-organize into a network without the requirement for any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of an ad hoc network due to node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy-constrained operations for the network.

Prof. Dr. Gokhan Secinti, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey secinti(a)itu.edu.tr along with ICSNC 2020, The Fifteenth International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications October 18, 2020 to October 22, 2020 - Porto, Portugal https://www.iaria.org/conferences2020/ICSNC20.html Unprecedented expansion of cloud services offering Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) paves the way for the virtualization of entire 5G-capable hardware and software stacks; thus, leading the emergence of 5G as a service (5GaaS). It enables on-demand service deployment, while mitigating the risks of physical installation, lowering operational and capital expenditures (OPEX/CAPEX), aggregating the service providers and customers' requirements on the same platform. On the other hand, Content Delivery Networks (CDN) play a key role in the management of 5GaaS subscribers and their contents, where the applications define unique 5G requirements raised by novel trafic types, such as: enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low Latency (URLLC), and massive Machine Transmission Communication (mMTC). Various bandwidth and latency requirements of these service types force CDN to benefit from the technologies such as Edge/Fog computation in order to sustain ever- complicating network management, revolutionizing the heterogeneous orchestration of the entire infrastructure spanning from server deployment, to network access. Under this expanding heterogeneity, the most feasible way to meet 5G requirements is to design an intelligent network management on 5G physical infrastructure. According to service providers, dynamic configuration and intelligent self-management for CDN can be only handled by Software Defined Networks (SDN). They believe that SDN proposes inexpensive network feature insertion thanks to a global view on the network and programming the network devices dynamically without any intervention on the physical plane. It enables flexible, scalable, and self-manageable virtual network slices to the customers according to Service Level Agreements (SLA). Both global management and network programmability features of SDN enable us to design and integrate novel techniques on 5G networks such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the recent years, AI is one of the most rapidly growing fields, finding new application domains with new and unique challenges everyday. This drastically changes the way the researchers/engineers used to approach to optimization processes. AI is broadly categorized into three main subsets such as Machine Learning (ML), Meta-Heuristics, and Fuzzy Inference Systems. Utilizing these tools, the following candidate applications for 5GaaS may only describe the tip of the iceberg. A technique executing ML uses the statistics collected from 5G physical plane periodically and performs supervised and/or unsupervised learning such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees (DT), K-means clustering, Hidden Markov Model (HMM), etc. A technique executing Meta-Heuristics algorithms solves hard optimization problems that cannot be executed within a reasonable time such as Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Simulated Annealing (SA), etc. A technique depending on Fuzzy logic has an advantage in representing customer experience and their explanation abilities. To this end, AI-5GaaS aims to improve the experience of customers and their service providers in 5G networks by serving AI-based techniques as a service to handle reduced OPEX/CAPEX. Therefore, this special issue aims to bring together talented researchers in the field and state-of-art designs and techniques to shape the future of 5G. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: -  Meta-heuristics for AI based 5G networks; -  Fuzzy inference systems for AI based 5G networks; -  Cloud-Fog-Edge computing mechanisms; -  AI based mobility management; -  SDN/NFV for autonomous network management; -  CDN solutions for next generation networks; -  Application areas for 5GaaS; -  Security and Privacy issues for 5GaaS; -  Testbeds, applications, case studies for 5GaaS; -  APIS, new protocols and programming languages for 5GaaS Important Datelines Inform the Chairs (see Contacts below): as soon as you decide to contribute *Submission: August 24 * Contribution Types - Regular papers [in the proceedings, digital library] - Short papers (work in progress) [in the proceedings, digital library] - Posters: two pages [in the proceedings, digital library] - Posters: slide only [slide-deck posted on www.iaria.org] - Presentations: slide only [slide-deck posted on www.iaria.org] - Demos: two pages [posted on www.iaria.org] Paper Format - See: http://www.iaria.org/format.html - *Notification: September 13 * - *Registration: September 23 * - *Camera-ready: September 23 * - Before submission, please check and comply with the editorial rules: http://www.iaria.org/editorialrules.html Publications - Extended versions of selected papers will be published in IARIA Journals: http://www.iariajournals.org - Print proceedings will be available via Curran Associates, Inc.: http://www.proceedings.com/9769.html - Articles will be archived in the free access ThinkMind Digital Library: http://www.thinkmind.org Paper Submission https://www.iariasubmit.org/conferences/submit/newcontribution.php?event=IC… Please select Track Preference as AI-5GaaS Registration - Each accepted paper needs at least one full registration, before the camera-ready manuscript can be included in the proceedings. - Registration fees are available at http://www.iaria.org/registration.html Contacts Chairs Muge Erel-Ozcevik: erelmu(a)itu.edu.tr, muge.ozcevik(a)cbu.edu.tr Gokhan Secinti: secinti(a)itu.edu.tr ICSNC Logistics: steve(a)iaria.org
