Subject: Emerging Technologies in Network Modeling Subcommittee - call for
paper on a related topic
Dear Prof. Du,
I am Guido Cantelmo, PostDoc researcher associate at TUM.
A colleague of mine is organizing a workshop on Cloud computing and Smart City
Systems. Research papers related to mobility and ITS are particularly welcome.
As I think this topic could interest some members of the "Emerging Technologies
in Network Modeling" Subcommittee, Could I kindly ask you if I can use the
mailing list of the subcommittee to promote this workshop? The call for papers
is attached to this email.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Best regards
Guido Cantelmo

*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***
The 9th Workshop on Management of Cloud and Smart City Systems
MoCS 2019
https://mocs19.gforge.uni.lu/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mocs19.gforge.uni.lu_&d=DwMFAg&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=IHeL8oI-htmsXoZyc9Xq9wMVv3ANFFO13HoCTwg1gdM&m=jkn02gZqwMNGDVwn-M69loQzl-0PhZ6_pJ7Zsz1RCeU&s=kwe3dHeMMIkvh9pb5dvzCSmVxbz92j_N7wLG1YfUjmI&e=>
In conjunction with IEEE ISCC 2019 - Barcelona, Spain
**
The last years have witnessed a permanent change of vision of cloud systems.
Nowadays, the most important stakeholders such as private companies, public
agencies, research communities and citizens rely on the cloud for a number of
purposes, stemming from sharing hardware infrastructures to software, data, and
sensing services.
The services designed for complex scenarios like Multi-Access Edge Computing
(MEC), smart cities, and the upcoming Industry 4.0, pave the path for a new era
of the cloud. The complexity of human dynamics in a city can be better analyzed
by decentralizing the infrastructure, integrating and opening the data and
sharing the services. The MEC paradigm, standardized by ETSI, is a key enabling
technology for upcoming 5G networks, whereby applications and network functions
are hosted in edge cloud data centers. By being closer to the end-user, besides
better supporting low-latency applications, MEC systems are a candidate
architecture for such a decentralized, context-aware infrastructure. Despite
such a rapid (re-)evolution of cloud systems, it remains unclear whether
current solutions are able to support these emergent application scenarios.
Through sensing as a service processes, crowd-sensed data is made available to
the cloud stakeholders. Some of them like citizens become data contributors,
customers and service consumers at the same time. This data exchange calls for
secure and reliable data trading transactions between the counterparts.
Blockchain technology provides the stakeholders with a transparent,
unalterable, ordered ledger by enabling a decentralized and secure environment.
Solutions for its integration in the cloud for smart-city services are however
yet to appear.
The MoCS workshop started following the "cloud" stream 8 years ago. The focus
of the 9th MoCS edition is in the convergence of cloud paradigm in form of MEC
to support low-latency, context-aware applications for complex scenarios like
smart cities and solutions for secure transactions in data trading.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
* Application of cloud and MEC systems to smart cities services;
* Models for context-aware crowdsensing techniques at urban-level scale;
* Integration of cloud/edge systems and mobile crowdsensing systems through
Human-enabled Edge Computing (HEC) paradigm;
* Experiences on the (re)use of open platforms for cloud-integrated smart
cities services;
* Design and evaluation tools for scalability and efficient resource allocation
in smart cities;
* Models and design inter-play between mobility agents (citizens,
vehicles) in urban environments;
* Design and application of cloud/edge technologies to Intelligent Transport
Systems (ITS);
* Vehicular cloud architectures for provisioning of smart cities services;
* Adaptive solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective cloud
management and services provision;
* Models and paradigms for the management of cloud/MEC services within/between
data centres (intra- /inter-domain) and their deployment in urban environment;
* Application of machine learning techniques to cloud/edge-based smart city
applications;
* Cloud/edge-based automation tools applied to robotic science for smart cities;
* Pricing schemes, bargaining mechanisms and economics for trading data in
cloud/edge environments;
* Blockchain solutions for secure and reliable transactions between the
counterparts in data sharing/trading.
** IMPORTANT DATES **
Paper Submission: March 31, 2019
Notification of Acceptance: May 3, 2019 Final Paper: May 10, 2019
** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS **
Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers for
publication in MoCS 2019. Manuscripts should be written in English with a
maximum paper length of 6 printed pages for full papers and 4 pages for short
papers. No more than 20\% of short papers will be accepted.
All manuscripts should adhere to the IEEE double column conference proceedings
(https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ieee.org_conferences_publishing_templates.html&d=DwMFAg&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=IHeL8oI-htmsXoZyc9Xq9wMVv3ANFFO13HoCTwg1gdM&m=jkn02gZqwMNGDVwn-M69loQzl-0PhZ6_pJ7Zsz1RCeU&s=5OynEPWHSQzkMjYdh551k0LW5OfubgPjNXHmCEaJ7Ig&e=>).
Authors are invited to submit their papers using EDAS at
https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25932<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__edas.info_newPaper.php-3Fc-3D25932&d=DwMFAg&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=IHeL8oI-htmsXoZyc9Xq9wMVv3ANFFO13HoCTwg1gdM&m=jkn02gZqwMNGDVwn-M69loQzl-0PhZ6_pJ7Zsz1RCeU&s=hYpmLfO-iaUO_ZEJXM5yoVjHggL2zF7xn8z9XQl-aSA&e=>.
Papers exceeding 6 pages will not be accepted by EDAS. At least one author of
each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the
paper. Only registered and presented papers will be included in the ISCC 2019
Proceedings and submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore library. The IEEE ISCC
Proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, dblp and Scopus. This makes
the IEEE ISCC Workshops publication venues with very high visibility and impact
