[DMANET] SDS 2021 CFP: The Eighth International Conference on Software Defined Systems, Gandia, Spain. December 6-9, 2021.
The Eighth International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS-2021)
http://emergingtechnet.org/SDS2021/index.php
Gandia, Spain. December 6-9, 2021.
*SDS 2021 CFP:*
Next generation cloud systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are
constructed and managed. Conventional control and management platforms are
facing considerable challenges regarding flexibility, dependability and
security that next generation systems will require. The cloud computing
paradigm has gone part of the way towards alleviating some of the problems
associated with resource allocation, utilization and managements (e.g., via
elasticity). However, many of the elements of a well-designed cloud
environment remain "stiff" and hard to modify and adapt in an integrated
fashion. This includes underlying networking topologies, many aspects of
the user control over IaaS, PaaS or SaaS layers when such is needed,
construction of XaaS services, provenance and meta-data collection, and so
on. In many situations the problem may be because service abstraction is
inadequate. Software Defined Systems (SDS) are systems that have added
software components which help abstract actual IT equipment and other
layers. One classical example, of course, are hypervisors. Such separation
provides a great opportunity for system administrators to more easily
construct and managing their systems through flexible software layers.
Software Defined Systems include Software Defined Networking (SDN),
Software Defined Storage, Software Defined Servers (Virtualization),
Software Defined Datacenters (SDD), Software Defined Security (SDSec), and
ultimately Software Defined Clouds (SDCloud) to name a few possibilities.
Individual solutions and seamless integration of these abstractions remains
in many respects a challenge. After the high success of the previous
editions (SDS'2014, SDS'2015, SDS'2016, SDS'2017, SDS'2018, SDS' 2019, SDS'
2020), The Eighth International conference on Software Defined Systems 2021
(SDS'2021) will continue to be a forum for scientists, researchers,
students, and practitioners to present their latest research results,
ideas, and developments in the area of software defined systems - both
components and their integration - and by implication advancement of next
generation clouds.
SDS 2021 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of
Software Defined Systems. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions
that help mitigating SDS challenges. That is, the objective of SDS 2021 is
to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss
and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of
Software Defined Systems. SDS is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Spain
Section. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research
contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:
* Software Defined Systems support for Cloud Computing.
* Software Defined Networking (SDN).
* SDN concepts, architecture, and APIs.
* Network Virtualization
* SDN and OpenFlow protocol
* Software Defined Radio
* Cognitive Radio Networks.
* Access Control models in SDN.
* Software Defined Storage.
* Storage Automation and Abstraction.
* Policy-driven storage provisioning.
* Software Defined Servers and Virtualization.
* Software Defined Datacenters.
* Software Defined Security o Security policies automation.
* Self-management systems.
* Autonomic Computing techniques.
* Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction.
* Software Defined Systems Scalability.
* Software Defined Systems optimization.
* Software tools and frameworks to support SDS .
* Software Defined Systems challenges and opportunities
* Software Defined Systems surveys .
* Social engineering, insider threats system for SDS.
* Incident Handling and Penetration Testing with SDS.
* Software Defined Systems support if IoT.
* Security protocols in SDS.
* Security and privacy of mobile SDS based cloud computing
* Service-oriented architectures, service portability andP2P
* Network virtualization and cloud-based radio access networks
*Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings*

Gandia, Spain. December 6-9, 2021.
*SDS 2021 CFP:*
Next generation cloud systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are
constructed and managed. Conventional control and management platforms are
facing considerable challenges regarding flexibility, dependability and
security that next generation systems will require. The cloud computing
paradigm has gone part of the way towards alleviating some of the problems
associated with resource allocation, utilization and managements (e.g., via
elasticity). However, many of the elements of a well-designed cloud
environment remain "stiff" and hard to modify and adapt in an integrated
fashion. This includes underlying networking topologies, many aspects of
the user control over IaaS, PaaS or SaaS layers when such is needed,
construction of XaaS services, provenance and meta-data collection, and so
on. In many situations the problem may be because service abstraction is
inadequate. Software Defined Systems (SDS) are systems that have added
software components which help abstract actual IT equipment and other
layers. One classical example, of course, are hypervisors. Such separation
provides a great opportunity for system administrators to more easily
construct and managing their systems through flexible software layers.
Software Defined Systems include Software Defined Networking (SDN),
Software Defined Storage, Software Defined Servers (Virtualization),
Software Defined Datacenters (SDD), Software Defined Security (SDSec), and
ultimately Software Defined Clouds (SDCloud) to name a few possibilities.
Individual solutions and seamless integration of these abstractions remains
in many respects a challenge. After the high success of the previous
editions (SDS'2014, SDS'2015, SDS'2016, SDS'2017, SDS'2018, SDS' 2019, SDS'
2020), The Eighth International conference on Software Defined Systems 2021
(SDS'2021) will continue to be a forum for scientists, researchers,
students, and practitioners to present their latest research results,
ideas, and developments in the area of software defined systems - both
components and their integration - and by implication advancement of next
generation clouds.
SDS 2021 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of
Software Defined Systems. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions
that help mitigating SDS challenges. That is, the objective of SDS 2021 is
to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss
and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of
Software Defined Systems. SDS is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Spain
Section. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research
contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:
* Software Defined Systems support for Cloud Computing.
* Software Defined Networking (SDN).
* SDN concepts, architecture, and APIs.
* Network Virtualization
* SDN and OpenFlow protocol
* Software Defined Radio
* Cognitive Radio Networks.
* Access Control models in SDN.
* Software Defined Storage.
* Storage Automation and Abstraction.
* Policy-driven storage provisioning.
* Software Defined Servers and Virtualization.
* Software Defined Datacenters.
* Software Defined Security o Security policies automation.
* Self-management systems.
* Autonomic Computing techniques.
* Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction.
* Software Defined Systems Scalability.
* Software Defined Systems optimization.
* Software tools and frameworks to support SDS .
* Software Defined Systems challenges and opportunities
* Software Defined Systems surveys .
* Social engineering, insider threats system for SDS.
* Incident Handling and Penetration Testing with SDS.
* Software Defined Systems support if IoT.
* Security protocols in SDS.
* Security and privacy of mobile SDS based cloud computing
* Service-oriented architectures, service portability andP2P
* Network virtualization and cloud-based radio access networks
*Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings*

[DMANET] FMEC 2021 CFP: The Sixth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing
The Sixth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC
2021)
http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2021/index.php
Gandia, Spain. December 6-9, 2021
*FMEC 2021 CFP:*
Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited
available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality
and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of
resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the
delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially
when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human's life
such as the case of smart cities or the Internet of Things. Therefore,
cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location
awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have
introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile
Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer
to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and
resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud
data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC
dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of
Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time
applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected
mobile devices.
Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a
perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense
geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness
to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of
the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative
policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure
computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location
privacy, etc). FMEC 2021 conference aims to investigate the opportunities
and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks
for novel contributions that help mitigating Mobile Edge Computing
challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2021 is to provide a forum for
scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas,
novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge
Computing (FMEC). FMEC 2021 is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Spain
Section. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research
contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:
* Mobile Cloud Computing Systems.
* FMEC Security and Privacy Issues.
* FMEC Pricing and billing models.
* FMEC support for VANETS and MANETS
* Cloudlet based computing
* Dew based computing
* Lightweight authentication mechanisms in FMEC architecture.
* Access Control models in FMEC.

*FMEC 2021 CFP:*
Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited
available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality
and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of
resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the
delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially
when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human's life
such as the case of smart cities or the Internet of Things. Therefore,
cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location
awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have
introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile
Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer
to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and
resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud
data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC
dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of
Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time
applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected
mobile devices.
Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a
perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense
geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness
to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of
the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative
policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure
computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location
privacy, etc). FMEC 2021 conference aims to investigate the opportunities
and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks
for novel contributions that help mitigating Mobile Edge Computing
challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2021 is to provide a forum for
scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas,
novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge
Computing (FMEC). FMEC 2021 is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Spain
Section. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research
contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:
* Mobile Cloud Computing Systems.

[DMANET] [CFP] Wi-DroIT 2021 - 3rd International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things
CALL FOR PAPERS
Wi-DroIT 2021 - 3rd International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones
in Internet of Things
July 14-16, 2021 - Virtual Event
co-located with DCOSS 2021
Website: https://widroit2021.github.io
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=widroit2021
Due to the evolution of the health pandemic, the event will be held fully
on-line. This will not impact the publication of the DCOSS 2021 proceedings
and accepted papers will be included in the IEEE Xplore Proceedings. The
virtual program will include live sessions of invited speakers and author
presentations, possibly supplemented by online material such as the papers,
presentation slides and videos.
Aims and Scope
Recently, the rapid development of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs),
also known as drones, has highlighted a plethora of emergent applications
such as infrastructure inspection and surveillance, smart agriculture, seek
and rescue, parcel delivery, communications, and post-disaster recovery. In
all these applications, UAVs may coexist with ground Internet of Things
(IoT) devices. For example, UAVs autonomously perform remote sensing
relaying the collected data by the sensors. Moreover, single or multiple
UAVs can cooperatively collaborate providing services that require
efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be
accounted for.
For this workshop, we seek papers that combine the design of algorithms and
testbed implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UAVs as
well as the synergies with IoT devices. The numerous emergent applications
raised by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach, involving
techniques from algorithm foundations and different areas, such as computer
networks, artificial intelligence, concurrent, parallel and distributed
computing, security, digital signal, image and sound processing.
Topics of Interest
- Autonomous sensing via UAVs
- Topology monitoring with UAVs
- Remote sensing networks via UAVs
- Communication protocols of UAVs over IoT
- Modeling and analysis of UAVs over IoT
- Precision agriculture and UAVs
- Crops monitoring in agriculture
- Bugs monitoring in agriculture
- UAVs for environmental monitoring
- Autopilot and UAS autonomy
- UAVs path planning and scheduling
- Parcel delivery using UAVs
- Cellular networks and UAVs
- Constrained and multi-objectives problems
- Sensors localization with UAVs
- UAVs tracking techniques
- Cooperative control of multiple UAVs
- Cyber-security communications and UAVs
- Optimal UAV deployment strategies
- Test-beds and experimental results for UAVs
- Single UAV applications
- Multi-UAV applications
- Energy-efficient UAV communications
- Machine learning for UAV communications
Important dates

Prosenjit K. Bose (Carleton University)
Tatiana Starikovskaya (École normale supérieure, Paris)
PC CO-CHAIRS
========================
Hee-Kap Ahn (POSTECH)
Kunihiko Sadakane (University of Tokyo)
IMPORTANT DATES
========================
Paper submission due: July 5, 2021 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification of acceptance: September 6, 2021
Camera-ready: September 30, 2021
Registration: October 29, 2021
TOPICS
========================
The symposium is intended to provide a forum for researchers working in
algorithms and theory of computation. Papers presenting original research
in the areas of algorithms and theory of computation are sought. Papers in
relevant applied areas are also welcomed. The topics include, but are not
limited to:
Algorithmic game theory
Algorithms and data structures
Approximation algorithms
Combinatorial optimization
Computational biology
Computational complexity
Computational geometry
Cryptography
Experimental algorithms
Graph drawing and graph algorithms
Internet algorithms
Online algorithms
Parallel and distributed algorithms
Quantum computing
Randomized algorithms.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
========================
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most
12 pages with an optional appendix. The submission should contain a
scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including
motivation and a clear comparison with related work. They must not be
submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings or
to a journal. Drafts which contain essentially the same results as papers
under review in other conferences or journals cannot be submitted to ISAAC
2021. Exempted are workshops and conferences without formal proceedings,
but possibly with handouts containing short abstracts. At least one author
of an accepted paper is required to present the paper at the conference as
a registered participant.
Papers must be formatted in LaTeX, using the LIPIcs style file, which is
available at
http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/.
The maximum length of the paper (including title, the list of authors,
abstract) is 12 pages, with references and the optional appendix excluded.
Use the LIPIcs style file as given; for instance, do not change the margin
size or the font, or make a separate title page, or create new latex
environments.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix that
is to be read by the program committee members at their discretion and will
not be published as part of the proceedings. Thus the paper without the
appendix should be able to stand on its own.
Submissions are due on July 5, 2021 (Anywhere on Earth). Only electronic
submission will be allowed via the easychair submission server
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isaac2021.
These guidelines are strict: papers failing to adhere to the guidelines (by
not providing the omitted proofs in an appendix, being more than 12 pages,
or not being in LIPIcs format) will be rejected without consideration of
their merits.
AVAILABILITY OF FULL VERSIONS
========================
Upon acceptance, if there is an omitted detail in the camera-ready version
for ISAAC, authors are encouraged to upload a full version of the accepted
paper to a preprint server, e.g., arXiv, ECCC, or an e-repository at
universities/institutes, so that interested readers can access the full
proofs that are omitted in ISAAC proceedings. When authors refer to omitted
proofs in ISAAC proceedings, citation to the accessible full version is
desired. However, uploading a full version is not mandatory for authors.
AWARDS
========================
The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be awarded. A paper is
eligible for the Best Student Paper if all authors are full-time students
at the time of submission. To indicate that a submission is eligible,
please mark the checkbox "Eligible for best student paper" in the web form
on the submission server.
JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUES
========================
We plan to publish full versions of selected papers in Algorithmica and
Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications (CGTA). Authors of selected
papers will be invited to submit their manuscripts after the symposium.

[DMANET] PhD thesis in co-tutelle between Polytechnic Montreal and INRIA Lille INOCS team.
PhD thesis in co-tutelle between Polytechnic Montreal and INRIA Lille INOCS team.
Supervisors:
Luce Brotcorne INRIA
Michel Gendreau Polytechnique Montreal (michel.gendreau@polymtl.ca) , Miguel Anjos Universite d'Edinburgh (Miguel.F.Anjos@ed.ac.uk)
18 months spent in Lille and 18 months spent in Montreal
Dead Line April 26.
Title
Adaptive incentive mechanisms for equilibrium calculation - application to the coordination of smart charging of electric vehicles
This thesis will be carried out in co-tutelle between Polytechnique Montreal and INRIA Lille Nord Europe. INOCS Team
Many non-cooperative games have multiple equilibria and agents potentially have heterogeneous preferences for these equilibria. In this thesis, our goal is to develop algorithms to compute solutions of the non-cooperative game (a) whose convergence and performance will be analyzed, (b) that allow the automatic traversal of all equilibria solutions of the game, (c) that allow the characterization of the computed equilibrium and the coordination of agents on an equilibrium possessing desirable properties for all agents.
Applications to the coordination of electric vehicle charging: The theoretical work developed in this project will be applied to the coordination of electric vehicle charging. We will place ourselves in the context of a shared charging station infrastructure deployed within an urban metropolis. The objective will be to define the incentives at each charging station (price signals, contracts with different levels of service quality, etc.) and the information structure (nature of the reported information, information costs), in order to avoid congestion at the stations during peak hours.
Candidates must hold a master degree in computer sciences, mathematics, or operations research. Knowledge of optimization solvers and a strong background in programming are welcomed.
Candidates should send a CV and a motivation letter to Luce Brotcorne(Luce.Brotcorne@inria.fr) by April 25, 2021.
