CALL FOR PAPERS - Special Issue on 6G: What is Next? - IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine (Impact Factor: 6.038) Extended submission Deadline: 7 January 2019 (firm) We are undoubtedly witnessing the transition into the 4th industrial revolution. Societies are becoming ever more data- centric and data-dependent. The increasing data-dependence of future economies poses a severe challenge on mitigating the digital divide to avoid an unequal distribution of wealth. Radical automation of industrial manufacturing processes will drive productivity. Autonomous systems are hitting our roads, oceans and air space. Millions of sensors will be embedded into cities, homes and food production environments, and new systems operated by artificial intelligence which often will reside in new local 'clouds' and 'fog' environments will create a plethora of new applications. Communications networks resemble the nervous system of these new smart system paradigms. 5G made a significant step towards developing a low latency tactile access network, and by providing new additional wireless nerve tracts, i.e., data pipes. With the increase of large autonomy of systems, the protection of 'nervous system' against malicious attacks becomes increasing important. Moreover, the system autonomy and the large number of distributed sensor systems demand the simultaneous integration of new energy harvesting concepts. The move from personalized communication to machine-type communication demands radically new communication network architectures. The objective of this special issue is to define the framework of the 6th generation of communication networks, its services and break-through technologies. We are soliciting original contributions that have not been published and are not currently under consideration by any other journals. Particular emphasis is placed on radically new concepts and ideas which are not just an evolution of 5G technologies. The topics of interest include, but not limited to: - Key drivers and 6G requirements - New wireless backhaul and fronthaul solutions - New security concepts - Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning into new wireless systems solutions and applications innovative applications - New network architectures - Concepts and technologies to harness new spectrum - New energy harvesting technologies, and integration into mobile network architectures - Techniques to improve energy efficiency - New approaches to simultaneously increase peak data rates and data density not only in urban environments - New system architectures stemming from the combination of computing, communication and storage. - Breakthrough technologies and concepts Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to topics under consideration in this special issue. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest. Submitted papers should contain state-of-the-art research material presented in a tutorial or survey style. Manuscript format must adhere to the IEEE VT Magazine submission guidelines: http://www.ieeevtc.org/vtmagazine/submission.php Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscripts to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/vtm-ieee Extended submission Deadline: 7 January 2019 (firm) Guest Editors: Harald Haas (h.haas(a)ed.ac.uk) The University of Edinburgh, U.K. Xiaohu You (xhyu(a)seu.edu.cn) Southeast University, China Jaafar Elmirghani (J.M.H.Elmirghani(a)leeds.ac.uk) University of Leeds, U.K. Klaus David (david(a)uni-kassel.de) Kassel University, Germany Editor in Chief: Javier Gozalvez (j.gozalvez(a)umh.es) Universidad Miguel Hernandez de Elche, Spain

by Xueqin Liang 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Call for Papers: A Special Issue of Vehicular Communications on “Security and Privacy in Internet of Vehicles” Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an important part of intelligent transportation system. It enables information sharing and the gathering of information on vehicles/autonomous vehicles, roads, and their surroundings through V2X communications. IoV faces various security and privacy chal-lenges, for example, various types of attacks including jamming, tampering and eavesdropping. This special issue aims to attract contributions from academic and industrial organizations ad-dressing emerging security and privacy issues in IoV. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): •Security framework of IoV •Privacy-preserving data aggregation •Trust and reputation in IoV •Secure routing in IoV •Secure and privacy-preserving V2X communications •Secure vehicular fog computing •Security in cloud based IoV •Access control in IoV •Vulnerability scanning technologies for IoV •Intrusion detection technologies for IoV •Blockchain and the IoV •Accountability in IoV Important Dates Paper submission:December 1, 2018 (Extended to December 20, 2018) Acceptance notification:Feb 15, 2019 Final papers:Mar 15, 2019 Submission Format and Guidelines All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide to Authors” at https://www.elsevier.com/journals/vehicular-communications/2214-2096/guide-…. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the paper submis-sion system at https://www.evise.com/profile/#/VEHCOM/login. The authors must select as “SI –SP-IoV” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Requests for additional information should be addressed to the guest editors or the Editor-in-Chief.

-------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE WoWMoM 2019 Call for Papers 9-12 June 2019, Washington DC, USA http://cs.ucf.edu/wowmom2019/ -------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **** SUBMISSION DEADLINE (ext): JANUARY 6th, 2019 ******* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WoWMoM is a CORE "A" ranked conference http://portal.core.edu.au/conf-ranks/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS SCOPE AND OVERVIEW IEEE WoWMoM 2019 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances in the areas of wireless, mobile, and multimedia networking as well as ubiquitous and pervasive systems. The evolution of wireless networking technologies and their key role in future Internet scenarios offer an increasing wealth of opportunities for distributing multimedia content. To provide users with high quality of experience, especially under moderate to high utilization, appropriate architectural networking paradigms are necessary. At the same time, Internet of Things environments, wearable computing and sensors, support a diverse range of domains and services, providing rich sets of measurements for characterizing, detecting, and understanding complex behaviours and systems. These are some of the challenges that are of interest to IEEE WoWMoM 2019. The IEEE WoWMoM 2019 conference takes a broader view and seeks papers describing innovative research contributions to the field of mobile and wireless networking in general.
