ACM CHANTS 2016 - 11th Workshop on Challenged Networks

co-located with ACM MobiCom 2016
October 3-7, 2016, New York, USA

www.acm-chants.org

===============================================================================
===============================================================================

Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired,
but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such
networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix
of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples
of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks
to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and
wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and,
more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged
networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to
delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship
should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many
applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived,
such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic
offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic
and participatory sensing, challenged IoT. The increasing availability of
wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of
technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE's D2D
(device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further
push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking
has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g.,
applying findings from social networks and network science.

This workshop builds on the success of the ten previous CHANTS workshops, and
WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged
networking research. This year's edition encourages submission of theoretical
and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary
interest in the **new directions of challenged networking such as mobile
cloud/mobile edge computing, IoT, mobile data offloading, and challenged SDN**.
The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers
describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions.
Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome,
provided they focus on particularly innovative, out-of-the-box, solutions or
applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking,
describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and
implications for ongoing or future research.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing
- Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks
- Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols
- Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing
- Mobile data offloading via challenged networks
- Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing
- Challenged networking in the Internet of Things
- Big data analytics in challenged networking
- Software-defined networking in challenged environments
- Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks
- Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks
- Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks
- Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments
- Network science methods for challenged networks
- Network coding in challenged networks
- Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles)
- Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use
- Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management)
- Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, smart cities)
- Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems
- Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks.

3rd CREATIVE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES COMMUNICATION CONFERENCE (CMSC)
4 - 7 October 2016, Luebeck, Germany

http://www.tcs.uni-luebeck.de/cmsc

Explore new ways of popularizing the rich mathematics underlying
computer
science including outdoor activities, art, dance, drama and all forms of
storytelling. This is CSUnplugged (www.csunplugged.org) and Beyond.

Challenge yourself to communicate our research culture to young people
and you will inevitably confront fresh
mathematical questions that will renew your own research, and your
field. The creative dynamic is bi-directional.

This conference series explores new ways of helping students to achieve
21st Century competencies in mathematics and computer science. The
previous
conferences, held in Darwin, Australia in 2013 and in Chennai, India
in 2014 (Videos from 2014) saw a unique interaction between computer
science / mathematics researchers and educators and artists (theatre,
dance, graphic arts).

Everyone interested in innovative ways to teach / popularize
algorithmics
and its foundations is welcome. We encourage you to present your own
efforts and discuss new ideas. Presentations and demonstrations welcome,
also ideas for leading round-table discussions.

Important dates:

Abstracts due: 10 June 2016

exploratory papers allows quick reporting of recent discoveries, work
-in-progress and/or partial results. Submissions in the exploratory
category go through a less rigorous evaluation process than those in
the full paper category. Exploratory papers will not be included in the
LNCS proceedings; however, they will be printed locally and given to
conference participants.

Submission

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of no more than 8
pages via the EasyChair system at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=automata2016

Submissions should contain original research that has not previously
been published. Submission must be formatted in LaTeX using the LNCS
format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors) and
submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers authored or co
-authored by PC members are also welcome.

Dear all,

Please see below for the details regarding one PhD thesis available
in Centre Microélectronique de Provence at École des Mines de
Saint-Étienne, Campus Gardanne.

---------------------------------------
Thesis Brief
Development of Global Control Plans in Semiconductor Fabrication
With the rapid advancement of IT, high-tech production industries (in
particular semiconductor companies) have urged to implement the Advanced
Process Control (APC) framework, for not only better product quality but
also efficient production control. The main activities within APC, such as
the feedback/feed-forward control, process fault detection, and virtual
metrology, have been studied for decades. However, the Run-to-Run (R2R)
models, though well established, are always built based on physics and
chemistry knowledge given the product quality input without considering the
equipment status or production scheduling plan. Since the R2R models can be
put in effect only when quality information is measured, they become less
timely compared to the real time equipment and production plan. It has
motivated the main concept of this thesis where real time and predictive
equipment condition shall be adaptively taken into account in the R2R
models such that the process runs are to be fine-tuned for better quality
control, more effective production flow, and more efficient equipment
utilization.

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Strathclyde University (Glasgow, UK) is looking for a PhD candidate to work on a research topic focused on Robust Data-Driven Optimisation for aerospace engineering applications.

Project Aims and Objective
The recent world has seen an explosion of available data, gathered from sensors, experiments and direct measurements. The engineering world is shifting from model-centred simulations to the assimilation of data into the modelling process. This opens up a wide area of research where large datasets are used to fine tuning engineering models, design uncertainty sets and infer knowledge about unknown parameters. This is particularly true in optimisation under uncertainties where usually simulation code and an apriori knowledge of the uncertainty distribution of the parameters is known or is assumed to be known. Bringing real data into this process will allow to design robust optimal solutions closer to the real industrial needs and more realistic uncertain scenarios. The main challenges in this field of research want to address the problems of efficiently handling and processing large quantity of data while extracting meaningful knowledge about the optimisation problem and uncertainty sets.

Qualifications
Master degree in computer science, applied mathematics, statistics or aerospace engineering

Experience
Experience in the field of optimisation and/or machine learning techniques is desirable

Student eligibility
UK and EU students, International students will also be considered.

Funding
The selected student will be presented as candidate for the John Anderson Research Award, one of the internal studentship scheme of Strathclyde University. https://www.strath.ac.uk/studywithus/scholarships/strathclyderesearchstudentshipscheme-johnandersonresearchawards/

PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES 2016 (PSD 2016)
================================================

** SUBMISSION DEADLINE MAY 8, 2016**

Dubrovnik, Croatia, Sep. 14-16, 2016

http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2016

1. AIMS AND GOALS
-----------------

Privacy in statistical databases is about finding tradeoffs to
the tension between the increasing societal and economical demand
for accurate information and the legal and ethical obligation to
protect the privacy of individuals and enterprises which are the
respondents providing the statistical data. In the case of
statistical databases, the motivation for respondent privacy is
one of survival: statistical agencies or survey institutes cannot
expect to collect accurate information from individual or
corporate respondents unless these feel the privacy of their
responses is guaranteed.

Beyond respondent privacy, there are two additional privacy dimensions
to be considered: privacy for the data owners (organizations owning or
gathering the data, who would not like to share the data they have
collected at great expense) and privacy for the users (those who
submit queries to the database and would like their analyses to stay
private). Co-utility has shown to provide sustainable solutions to
user privacy.

"Privacy in Statistical Databases 2016" (PSD 2016) is a conference
sponsored and organized by the UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy
(http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat) with proceedings published by
Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Generous support
by the Templeton World Charity Foundation is acknowledged. The purpose
of PSD 2016 is to attract world-wide, high-level research in
statistical database privacy.

PSD 2016 is a successor to PSD 2014 (Eivissa, Sep. 17-19, 2014,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2014/), PSD 2012 (Palermo, Sep.
26-28, 2012, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2012), PSD 2010
(Corfu, Sep. 22-24, 2010, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2010),
PSD 2008 (Istanbul, Sep. 24-26, 2008,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2008), PSD 2006 (Rome, Dec.
13-15, 2006, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2006) and PSD 2004
(Barcelona, June 9-11, 2004, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2004), all
with proceedings published by Springer in LNCS 8744, LNCS 7556, LNCS
6344, LNCS 5262, LNCS 4302 and LNCS 3050, respectively. Those seven
PSD conferences follow a tradition of high-quality technical
conferences on SDC which started with "Statistical Data
Protection-SDP'98", held in Lisbon in 1998 and with proceedings
published by OPOCE, and continued with the AMRADS project SDC
Workshop, held in Luxemburg in 2001 and with proceedings published in
Springer LNCS 2316.

Like the aforementioned preceding conferences, PSD 2016 originates in
Europe, but wishes to stay a worldwide event in database privacy and
SDC. Thus, contributions and attendees from overseas are welcome.

Introduction
Electrical energy storage is a key factor for the future. The
consumption of electrical energy (i.e. the use of air conditioning,
audio and video devices or electric heating) is increasing every year
due; firstly to the increase of the population and secondly by the
appearance of new uses of consumption, such as electric cars. With this
increase consumption, how to ensure the balance between supply and
demand for electricity at all times? To address this problem, the idea
of placing the new generation of smart grids to control this energy has
appeared in recent literature in different flavors in order to provide
electric power supply secure, sustainable and competitive to consumers.
In addition, the revolution in smart grid involves a significant change
in side of the consumer where consumers will also become producer with
the ability of energy storage such as in the vehicle battery, or as a
local generation sources such as photovoltaic panels. However, the smart
grid develops modern solutions for the next-generation network and
digital communication in which many systems and subsystems are
interconnected to provide services from end-to-end network between
various actors and between intelligent devices that are deployed there.
Within each network, a hierarchical structure is composed of different
types of networks, such as the HANs (Home Area Networks), the BANs
(Building Area Networks), the IANs (Industrial Area Networks), the NANs
(Neighborhood Area Networks), the FANs (Field Area Networks), and the
WANs (Wide Area Networks). Currently, large societies propose the use of
cloud computing in smart grid applications connected with the electrical
control center. The main problem in the development of a smart grid is
not located at the physical medium but mainly in delivery of reliability
and security. The possibility of fitting with active or passive attacks
in smart grid network is great to divulge privacy and disrupt energy
(e.g. Wormhole Attack, False Data Injection Attack, Black Hole Attack,
Grey Hole Attack, DoS Attack, Physical Layer Attack, Colluding Adversary
Attack, Routing Table Overflow Attack etc.). Therefore, the security
requirements, including authentication, accountability, integrity,
non-repudiation, access control and confidentiality should be paid more
attention in the future for high performance smart grids. This book will
cover the current scope of various methodologies and mechanisms in the
theory and practice of security, privacy, intrusion detection, and
applied cryptography in smart grid communications in one place.

Objective
This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential
reference source, building on the available literature in the field of
smart grid security in developing countries while providing for further
research opportunities in this dynamic field. It is hoped that this text
will provide the resources necessary for policy makers, technology
developers and managers to adopt and implement smart grid platforms in
developing nations across the globe.
