TMA 2020: Call for Lightning Talks
by Mandalari, Anna Maria 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Dear all, This year’s TMA will take place virtually. To accommodate highly promising work that benefits from early feedback and usually would be presented in a poster session, TMA 2020 solicits contributions for Lightning Talks. Lightning talks will give the opportunity for PhD students and young researchers to present their work-in-progress. An award will give credit to the best presentation. What is a lightning talk? A lightning talk is a 3 minute pre-recorded presentation of work-in-progress. Topics of interest include concepts, experiences, and results in the collection, processing, analysis, or visualization of network measurements across the entire network stack. All pre-recordings will be presented in a dedicated session during the TMA online conference. To connect presenters and participants, we will allow for live Q&A after the presentations. Recordings and abstracts will be published on the TMA web page after the conference. What do we expect from the recordings? You are encouraged to find creative solutions to convey your research in a compelling way. You are not limited to slideshows with voice overs but can integrate videos, animations, etc. The only limit is the 3 minute time slot you have. A Lightning Talk Award will be given to the best presentation. What to submit? In order to participate, please submit a one-page abstract (double column, 10pt, IEEE Transactions template) that describes your work concisely. Feel free to add a link to a preliminary version of your video. For further details, please check https://tma.ifip.org/2020/call-for-lightning-talks/ In case of questions, please, contact Matthias Waehlisch m.waehlisch(a)fu-berlin.de<mailto:m.waehlisch@fu-berlin.de> Important dates: * Submission deadline of abstracts: May 23, 2020 * Author notification: May 27, 2020 * Submission of pre-recorded videos: June 3, 2020 * Lightning talk session and Q&A: June 11, 2020

3rd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench'20)
by Mandalari, Anna Maria 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

Call for Papers 3rd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench'20) in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2020 September 21-25, 2020 - London, UK https://cpsbench20.ethz.ch/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the last decade, research on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) has led to smart systems at different scales and environments, from smart homes to smart cities and smart factories. Despite many successes, it is difficult to measure and compare the utility of these results due to a lack of standard evaluation criteria and methodologies. This problem inhibits evaluation against the state-of-the-art, the comparability of different integrated designs (e.g., control and networking), and the applicability of tested scenarios to present and future real-world cyber-physical applications and deployments. This state of affairs is alarming, it significantly hinders further progress in CPS and IoT systems research. ******** TOPICS ******** The Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench) brings together researchers from the different sub-communities to engage in a lively debate on all facets of rigorously evaluating and comparing cyber-physical networks and systems. Unique to this workshop, we seek reports describing the reproduction of experimental results reported in published papers. Examples of these include researchers looking to validate another piece of work before comparing their own to it, or industrial organizations evaluating a new technology or demonstrating the robustness of their technology before customer delivery. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit papers focusing on one of the following topics: - describe an attempt to reproduce experimental results from published work; - identify fundamental challenges and open questions in rigorous benchmarking and evaluation of cyber-physical networks and systems; - report on success stories/failures with using standard evaluation criteria; - present example benchmark systems and approaches from any relevant community (embedded systems, networking, control, robotics, machine learning); - propose new research directions, methodologies, or tools to increase the level of reproducibility and comparability of evaluation results; - report on examples of best practices in different CPS sub-communities towards achieving the repeatability of results; - present models to capture & compare the properties of algorithms and systems; Well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations are sufficient to support a paper's claims. Submitted papers must be written in English and may contain up to 6 pages, including references, figures, and tables. We will follow a double-blind reviewing process, therefore authors must anonymize their submissions. References to the authors' own previous work must not be omitted but referred to in the third person. Accepted papers will be published either on OpenReview.net<http://openreview.net/> or on the ACM Digital Library. ******** IMPORTANT DATES ******** - Paper submission deadline: May 15, 2020 (11:59:59PM EST) - Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2020 - Camera-ready versions: July 31, 2020 - Workshop date: September 21 or 25, 2020 ******** ORGANIZERS ******** Workshop co-organizers: - Carlo Alberto Boano (Graz University of Technology, Austria) - Michael Breza (Imperial College London, United Kingdom) - Romain Jacob (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Ramona Marfievici (Digital Catapult, United Kingdom) - Marco Zimmerling (TU Dresden, Germany) Technical Program Committee: - Brad Campbell (University of Virginia, USA) - Omprakash Gnawali (University of Houston, USA) - Matthias Hollick (TU Darmstadt, Germany) - Roman Kolcun (Imperial College London, UK) - Amy Murphy (Bruno Kessler Foundation, Italy) - Pat Pannuto (University of California, San Diego, USA) - Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy) - Usman Raza (Toshiba Research Europe Limited, UK) - Vijay Rao (TU Delft, The Netherlands) - Alexandru Uta (Leiden University, The Netherlands) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call
