Scope
The increasing availability of smart objects will radically change our cities. It is in fact a common opinion that, in the near future, our cities will be populated by a potentially higher number of devices that actively participate to the execution of pervasive and advanced services. Being massively distributed into the environment, such devices may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate the their execution to more powerful nodes in the infrastructure or at the network edge.

At the same time, end-user mobile devices are becoming more and more pervasive. In many countries, the number of mobile cellular subscriptions greatly overcomes the current population (even more than +150%). Furthermore today's smartphones/devices are provided with increasing sensing/communication/computation capabilities and they are capable to produce fine-grained context-information by properly analysing/mining the data produced by embedded sensors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, etc.

In this futuristic scenario the citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices, will assume the very special role of information prosumers (PROducers and conSUMERS). In fact, they will be constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they will be formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes that, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, will analyze the situation and will produce reports to the community. Furthermore the citizen's smartphones will actively contribute in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices thus partially relieving the communication infrastructure from the heavy burden of the huge amount of data produced in the envisioned scenario.

All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge.

The CoWPER workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments.

In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:
• Models of network components' interactions on a smart-city
• Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access;
• Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities;
• Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities
• Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments;
• Smartphone and mobile systems and applications;
• Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones;
• Crowd sourcing in smart cities;
• IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities;
• Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications;
• Device-2-Device Communications (D2D);
• Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications;
• Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications;
• Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems;
• Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems;
• Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems;
• Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue;
• Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management

All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Submission Instructions:
Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 27th March 2016. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS (https://edas.info/N22207 <https://edas.info/N22207>). All submissions must be written in English and be at most six (6) printed pages in length, including figures.

International Workshop on Exploring Old Maps (EOM 2016)
June 8, 2016 *** University of Luxembourg, Campus Belval
https://exploringoldmaps.uni.lu
(co-located with DH Benelux<http://www.dhbenelux.org/>)

DESCRIPTION
Many libraries own an extensive collection of historical maps. Beside their value as historical objects, these maps are
an important source of information for researchers in various scientific disciplines. This ranges from the actual
history of cartography and general history to the geographic and social sciences. With the progressing digitisation of
libraries and archives, these maps become more easily available to a larger public. A basic level of digitisation
consists of scanned bitmap images, tagged with some basic bibliographic information such as title, author and year of
production. In order to make the maps more accessible, further metadata describing the contained information is
desirable. This would enable more user-friendly interfaces, relevant queries of a database, and automatic analyses.

TARGETED AUDIENCE
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the communication of results (which may appear elsewhere) that
may be useful to the community. Researchers and practitioners of all areas working on unlocking the content of old maps
are welcome to participate. We welcome humanities scholars, developers, computer and information scientists as well as
librarians, archivists and curators. Submissions are welcome from researchers at all career stages.

SCOPE OF INTEREST
Relevant topics are (but are not limited to) the following:
* Spatial analysis and applications of GIS concerning old maps
* Design and application of algorithms for analysis and visualisation methods
* Digital media, digitisation, curation of digital objects
* Crowdsourcing, user research, citizen science, and public humanities
* Digital Libraries for old maps
* Visualisation of old maps
* Virtual Research Environments and Infrastructures

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
* Wolfgang Crom, Head of Map Department, Staatsbibliothek Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Germany)
* Catherine Jones, Digital Humanities Lab Coordinator, CVCE - Centre Virtuel de la Connaissance sur l'Europe
(Luxembourg)
* Petr Pridal, CEO, Klokan Technologies (Switzerland)

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit abstracts for presentations, posters and demonstrations.

The workshop will not have formal proceedings. Therefore, abstracts submitted to the EOM 2016 may report on work in
progress, be submitted to other places, and they may even already have appeared or been accepted elsewhere. We
particularly welcome submissions that have the potential to stimulate the collaboration between Humanities and Computer
Science. The reviewing process will mainly determine whether a submitted abstract promises to fit into the scope of this
workshop. Based on the review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied program, the Program Committee will decide
about the acceptance of submissions.

The authors of the papers accepted for EOM 2016 will be invited to submit the final versions of their abstracts for
on-line publication in the digital workshop booklet. Abstracts must be submitted to EOM 2016 via
EasyChair<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eom2016>. Each submission must specify its type in the EasyChair
submission form. The abstracts must not exceed 2 pages and the second page must contain only references and figures. All
submissions must use the provided Word or LaTeX
template<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html> in DIN A4. Abstracts for
demonstrations should include descriptive screenshots and a description of the system's functionalities.


IMPORTANT DATES
Submissions of abstracts: Sunday, 24 April 2016 (hard deadline)
Notification of acceptance: Tuesday, 3 May 2016
Workshop Exploring Old Maps: Wednesday, 8 June 2016
