It allows us to work at a distance, to live at a distance, and most importantly, to keep in touch at a distance – with younger and older people, those closest to us, and even making new contacts. Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production. What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros”, because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors. Program and registration: https://talk.cybercni.fr/

IFIP/IEEE IM 2021 – The 1st International Workshop on Internet of Things Management (Firm Deadline: January 29, 2021)
by Marc-Oliver Pahl 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

Firm deadline January 29, 2021 The 1st IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Internet of Things Management (https://manage-iot.future-iot.org/2021/) co-located with IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2021). 17-21 May 2021// Bordeaux, France (https://im2021.ieee-im.org/) The workshop aims at fostering the exchange between the IoT-management specialists and the Network and Service Management specialists. Scope and topics of the workshop The Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as a major architectural paradigm for achieving machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. The fundamental principle behind IoT is the concept of a “resource” (or a “thing”), that serves as an abstraction of a basic unit that interacts with its environment, and is capable of providing services, data and control elements to other internetworked resources. Many IoT scenarios can be characterized by lots of (small) traffic, lots of entities, strong heterogeneity in links and device capabilities, strong distribution, and highly sensitive data. Individual nodes have limited compute resources and on-device storage (e.g., consider Raspberry Pi single board computers). Their connectivity is often constrained by factors such as the presence of NATs and firewalls, power constraints, and intermittent network access. Managing IoT-based systems is complex and exciting. Though being an evolution from classical management, managing IoT things is still disruptive as classical assumptions about connectivity, compute resources, or usage patterns do not hold anymore. The manage-IoT workshop focuses on management methodologies for the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include: Resource management Managing Internet of things devices and gateways Access arbitration to IoT sensors and actuators Managing sensors Data Management in IoT Systems Semantic Modelling of IoT Systems Information models/ Domain Specific Languages Service Management Modular Management Autonomous Management including MAPE-K IoT runtime environments Service Discovery Building Blocks Machine Learning Self-Adapting Systems Data Analytics Reasoning and Orchestration Security and Privacy Data and device security Privacy protection methodologies.

21 Jan '21

*Empowering Sustainable Energy Infrastructures via AI-assisted Wireless Communications* IEEE Wireless Communications https://www.comsoc.org/publications/magazines/ieee-wireless-communications/… Global energy demands will no longer be met using conventional energy infrastructures, and hence can only be achieved through sustainable renewable energy systems that are supported by cyber-physical technologies. The shift from conventional energy sources towards sustainability is clear, leading to the emergence of prosumers (i.e. producers and consumers) which are capable of both generating and consuming energy. Today, many buildings are now equipped with solar panels that can contribute to the overall energy needs. Power systems need to adopt renewable energy to provide more efficient and sustainable operations. Providing and maintaining sustainable power systems and energy solutions are only achievable through intelligent sensing, monitoring and wireless communications. Today’s advancements in intelligent learning techniques such as deep and reinforcement learning coupled with fast and reliable wireless communications such as 5G, provide great opportunities for new business models for energy providers to improve the way the providers communicate with the grid. Such intelligent learning techniques can for instance determine when and for how long can producers provide and sell power to the grid to maximize their profits and achieve sustainable energy production results. Such learning techniques require fast and reliable wireless communications with different entities in the system. Therefore, the coupling of ultra-fast and reliable wireless communications with intelligent learning will provide sustainable energy solutions for the near future markets. This special issue considers the adaptation of intelligent learning techniques within wireless networks to enable sustainable power system management. The special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality research with emerging ideas, approaches, theories, frameworks, and practices to tackle the challenging issues related to energy sustainability and power provisioning via the smart grid using wireless networks and intelligent learning methods.
