(Paper submission: November 9, 2020)

The 5th International Workshop on Annotation of User Data for Ubiquitous Systems (ARDUOUS )
https://text2hbm.org/arduous/
Labelling user data is a central part of the design and evaluation of pervasive systems that aim to support the user through situation-aware reasoning. It is essential both in designing and training the system to recognise and reason about the situation, either through the definition of a suitable situation model in knowledge-driven applications, or through the preparation of training data for learning tasks in data-driven models. Hence, the quality of annotations can have a significant impact on the performance of the derived systems. Labelling is also vital for validating and quantifying the performance of applications. With pervasive systems relying increasingly on large datasets for designing and testing models of users' activities, the process of data labelling is becoming a major concern for the community. Even more, with the increase of pervasive applications relying on annotated data, it becomes important to develop standards and normalisation methodologies for trans!
ferability of annotated data across different applications. To address the problem, this year's workshop focuses on methods for standardisation and normalisation in annotation practices and possible roadmaps and good practices in addressing the associated challenges. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020)

The 5th Workshop on emotion awareness for pervasive computing - beyond traditional approaches (EmotionAware)
https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/emotionaware/
An important goal of pervasive computing is to integrate computer devices into the users' everyday life seamlessly. This allows context-aware applications to gather information about the users to support them in their daily tasks. A newly attractive source of information for pervasive computing is provided by mobile devices, wearable devices, and pervasive sensors able to detect the emotional state of the users. In many real-world scenarios, it is essential to use wearable sensors, embedded in mobile devices such as smartphones and smartwatches, to measure the emotional state of the user. This would help to understand how emotions influence processes such as decision making and reasoning. We aim to have unique contributions addressing this challenge and to provide a discussion space to facilitate collaboration among researchers interested in emotion recognition for pervasive computing. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020)

(Paper submission: November 9, 2020)

The Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Smart & Green Edge Computing and Networking (SmartEdge 2021)
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~tnadeem/SmartEdge21/index.html
Recent studies show that the amount of data generated at the edge of the Internet will be vast, incredibly rich, extremely valuable, and becoming the key enabler for data-rich edge systems and applications. SmartEdge has taken a leading role in addressing data/systems/applications interests, challenges, and research problems of the edge. This year, SmartEdge's themes are: Intelligent Edge, and Green Edge. By integrating the advances in smart devices and edge systems with the advances in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), the future role of smart edge systems, networks, and applications is becoming limitless and it is expected to revolutionize the future of the world within the next few years. Green Edge is a recent emerging research field that focuses on architectures and algorithms to support energy-efficient edge operation, and distributed algorithms and optimizations that make the edge a major contributor to the overall energy efficiency of the entire!
IoT ecosystem. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020)

The Fifth Workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust in the Internet of Things (SPT-IoT)
https://sites.google.com/view/spt-iot-2021
As the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) increases and more data are shared through the hyperconnected networks there are more concerns associated with the security of data.

[DMANET] [Last day for submission][** VIRTUAL **][** 14+ Special Issues **] CFP: The 6th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications

CFP: The 6th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor,
Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications (IEEE DependSys 2020), 14-16
December 2020

[Last day for submission][**Virtual Conference**][**14+ Special
Issues**][Submission Deadline (Hard): 25 September 2020]

http://cse.stfx.ca/~dependsys/2020/index.html

**NEWS**
The IEEE DependSys 2020 Conference was planned to be held in Fiji, December
14-16, 2020. Given the COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel
restrictions, as the safety of people is of the highest priority, the
conference will be held virtually on December 14-16, 2020. Accepted papers
will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore Digital Library after they
are presented at the virtual conference. Information and instructions on
how to prepare for a virtual presentation will be sent separately.
Registration fees for the conference will be adjusted.

IEEE DependSys 2020 conference is the 6th event in the series of
conferences which offers a timely venue for bringing together new ideas,
techniques, and solutions for dependability and its issues in sensor,
cloud, and big data systems and applications. As we are deep into the
Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors,
individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and
Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to
the dependability of our designed systems. As these systems often tend to
become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running.
Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems
and applications has become increasingly critical.

This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners,
and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer
systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great
confidence. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of
challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing
properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance,
real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault, corruption,
anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate
privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability,
adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on.
