MobiCom 2020: Call for Workshops and Tutorials ACM MobiCom is the premier international conference dedicated to addressing emerging topics in mobile and wireless networking and computing. MobiCom 2020 will hold multiple full or half day workshops and tutorials on September 21 (Monday), 2020 and September 25 (Friday), 2020 of the conference week. Workshop papers will be included with the MobiCom proceedings and published in the ACM Digital Library. We solicit workshop and tutorial proposals on new and emerging topics that broadly relate to the general areas of mobile communications, wireless networking and mobile computing. Workshop Guidelines The ideal workshop proposal will focus on a timely and emerging topic and be able to attract a number of interesting and high-quality contributions that spark discussions in an informal setting. The goal of the workshop papers is primarily to stimulate interactive conversations and inspire new research ideas. Proposals on emerging or disruptive topics that are likely to generate significant interest in the community will be selected. MobiCom 2020 will likely feature a mix of some returning and some new workshops. Workshop proposals may be either research-oriented or experimental: Research-oriented Workshops We encourage more conventional research-oriented workshops that address compelling and growing fields of study. Topics should be grounded and clearly relate to the ACM MobiCom community, and its core areas of interests (e.g., wireless networking and mobile computing). However, we anticipate workshop proposals will also introduce and connect to a set of topics of broader importance, including but not limited to: autonomous cars and systems, healthcare and medical domains, safety/security/privacy, distributed ledgers and cryptocurrencies, machine learning/artificial intelligence, diversity and ethics, technology issues for developing regions, and novel radio/hardware/processor architecture technologies. Experimental Workshops We also invite workshop proposals that would target papers presenting extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operation of mobile computing and wireless networks. Workshop Proposal Submission Instructions The proposal should be no longer than three pages and should include at least the following: * The name of the workshop. * Proposal track (research-oriented or experimental) in the title * The name, address, and a short bio (up to 200 words) of each organizer (up to three). * A motivation and rationale that includes a brief description of the technical issues to be addressed, and why those issues are timely. * The list of names and affiliations of potential program committee members. * The planned format of the workshop, including the length of the workshop (half day or full day), and a strategy to facilitate lively discussions and attendee involvement. * If previous editions have been held, a description of past versions of the workshop, including the number of submitted and accepted papers, and number of attendees. * A description of the publicity plan. * A call for papers with workshop deadlines (aligned with the relevant Important Dates below). Tutorial Guidelines Tutorial topics should be of significant interest to the MobiCom community. Tutorials may consist of lectures, interactive sessions, hands-on training, or any combination of the above. Tutorial Proposal Submission Instructions The proposal should be no longer than three pages and should include at least the following: * The name of the tutorial. * The name, address, and short bio (up to 200 words) of each organizer (up to three). * A motivation and rationale for the tutorial. * Reference to the knowledge that the audience should expect to gather with the tutorial. * An outline of the tutorial content, including the length of the tutorial (half day or full day) and a tentative schedule. * Requirements for the tutorial room (please note that our capabilities in fulfilling unusual requests are limited). * Requirements for the attendees (e.g., must bring their own laptop or other hardware, familiarity with certain technologies or topics, etc.). * Any other limitations (e.g., number of participants). Submissions Please send your proposal in PDF (only) via e-mail to both the workshop/tutorial co-chairs Özgü Alay and Lan Wang (contact details are provided below). Ensure that proposals contain "MobiCom 2020 Workshop/Tutorial Proposal" in the subject line. Submissions must be received by the deadline below. Important Dates Deadlines Proposal Submission Deadline Feb.14th, 2020, 11:59 PM PST (UTC-8:00) Notification of acceptance Feb. 28th, 2020 Workshop Paper Submissions Deadline May 15th, 2020 Camera-ready Workshop Papers Due July. 31st, 2020 Workshop/Tutorial Dates Sept. 21 and Sept. 25, 2020 Workshop/Tutorial Chairs Özgü Alay<https://ozgualay.com/> (University of Oslo and Simula) : ozgua(a)ifi.uio.no<mailto:ozgua@ifi.uio.no> Lan Wang<https://www.memphis.edu/cs/people/faculty_pages/lan-wang.php> (University of Memphis) : lanwang(a)memphis.edu<mailto:lanwang@memphis.edu> General Information ACM MobiCom provides basic support for the workshops and tutorials in the form of registration, publication, publicity, meeting space, audio/video equipment, lunch, and coffee breaks. To promote flexibility, the details including the format of the workshop/tutorial and the form of submissions and presentations are typically left to the organizers of each workshop/tutorial. Because workshops are meant to foster discussions on emerging topics of interest among the broader SIGMOBILE community, workshops are encouraged to be inclusive rather than exclusive in their solicitation of material. In addition, we encourage organizers to target more interactive forums such as presentations of short papers, posters and demos, panels, and round-table discussions, rather than traditional presentations of full-length papers. Workshops/tutorials not attracting enough submissions and registrations may be cancelled at the decision of the organizing committee. We look forward to your submissions. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about submitting a workshop/tutorial proposal.

Call for Papers - Internet Consolidation
by Gergana Petrova 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

Hi all, I'd like to share with you the call for papers put out by Chatham House and the Internet Society on Internet Consolidation. ---- The Internet Society and Chatham House are collaborating on a special issue of the Journal of Cyber Policy, on the impact of consolidation in the Internet’s fundamental architecture, including structural dependencies across its many layers. All articles in the special issue will be open access. In recent years there has been a growing debate around the influence of a few large Internet technology companies and the concentration of providers in consumer-visible and audible services. As a result, what was once widely viewed as a collective platform for limitless permissionless innovation, competition, and growth is increasingly experienced as a consolidated environment dominated by a few. The Internet Society and Chatham House are planning a special issue of the Journal of Cyber Policy, aimed at discovering the extent to which similar forces for market dominance could be affecting the Internet’s fundamental architecture. Please submit a paper outline or abstract of no more than 400 words by 1 April 2019, which should sketch out the key ideas in the proposed paper. https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/journal-cyber-policy-internet-consolidat… -------- Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC

07 Mar '18

Dear colleagues, Firstly, I want to share that we received 93 applications, a new record, for RACI for spring 2018! Thank you all for helping spread the word about the initiative. I will send a list of the winning applications next week. Secondly, I'd like to let you know that we're now accepting applications for the RIPE Fellowship at RIPE 76 in Marseille (14-18 May 2018). Application deadline is 6 April: www.ripe.net/fellowship The RIPE Fellowship covers the cost of a meeting ticket, travel and accommodation for successful candidates in the RIPE NCC service region. Just as a reminder - unlike RACI, the RIPE Fellowship is open to anyone, not just academics, therefore there is a larger pool of elibible applicants. Also, unlike RACI, accepted applicants do not present at the meeting. However, the RIPE Fellowship is still a great way to get involved with the RIPE Community. It would be especially interesting for students who do not have any research to present yet. If you know any, please let them know about this opportunity. If you have any questions, my colleague Amanda Gowland <agowland(a)ripe.net> is running this program. Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC Stationsplein 11, 1012 AB Amsterdam, The Netherlands T: +31 20 535 4444 www.ripe.net
