Wi-DroIT 2021

30 Apr '21

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] 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 - Abstract Submission: May 14, 2021 - Paper Submission: May 21, 2021 - Acceptance Notification: June 11, 2021 - Final manuscript, camera ready: June 18, 2021 Submission Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on distributed sensor systems related to Wi-DroIT topics of interest. Please use the US letter size (8.5 x 11 in) standard IEEE conference LaTeX format or Microsoft Word template available on the link below: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html All submissions should be written in English and submitted as a full paper. Full papers should have a maximum of eight (8) printed pages including figures and references. Full papers are expected to describe fully developed ideas with a thorough evaluation. Note that Wi-DroIT does not follow the double-blind review policy. The names and affiliations of all the authors must be present in the submitted manuscript. -- Francesco Betti Sorbelli -- Francesco Betti Sorbelli

Veronica Barassi EVENT RECORDING: 'How Tech Companies are Profiling Us from before Birth' | LSE Digital Ethnography Collective
by Glatt,ZA (pgr) 29 Apr '21

29 Apr '21

Hi all! Thanks to those of you who attended yesterday’s LSE Digital Ethnography Collective book event, we had a great and generative conversation! For those of you who wanted to but were unable to attend, the recording is now available to watch here: https://youtu.be/6HIY5DZ3Lxs The event was about Professor Veronica Barassi’s new book ‘Child Data Citizen: How Tech Companies are Profiling Us from Before Birth’ (MIT Press, 2020) and her experience as an ethnographer in making sense of the datafication of family life. By looking at the human tensions and sensory experience of datafication, she reflected on the merits and challenges of ethnography and autoethnography in the understanding of our complex data environments. All the best, Zoe ________________________ Zoë Glatt www.zoeglatt.com<http://www.zoeglatt.com/> ESRC PhD Researcher in Media & Communications London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Co-Founder: LSE Digital Ethnography Collective @DigEthnogLSE<https://twitter.com/DigEthnogLSE> Graduate Student Rep 2019-2021: Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) Managing Editor 2018-2020: ICA journal Communication, Culture & Critique<https://academic.oup.com/ccc/pages/About> YouTube channel<https://www.youtube.com/user/Zedstergal> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/ZoeGlatt> | LSE bio<http://www.lse.ac.uk/media-and-communications/people/phd-researchers/zoe-gl…>

NSF Convergence Accelerator Phases I and II for the 2021 Cohort
by Stuart Shulman 29 Apr '21

29 Apr '21

I am finalizing a Letter of Intent due May 5 to be a part of the "NSF Convergence Accelerator Phases I and II for the 2021 Cohort" under the "Trust and Authenticity in Communication Systems" track. The goal of the program is to develop prototypes of "novel research platforms" that integrate tools, techniques, and educational outcomes "engendering trust and authenticity in communication systems." This proposal will be industry-led under the Broad Agency Announcement described here: https://beta.sam.gov/opp/0106e498c00246379415ed50c74e5b9a/view The Program Solicitation calls for an interdisciplinary team and I am currently recruiting up to four CO-PIs and up to four Senior Personnel to be a part of the proposal. If awarded, Phase I is $750,000 for Y1 and a total of $5,000,000 for Y2 and Y3. I will be taking meetings the remainder of the week with potential collaborators on this project. I was a part of the NSF workshop that led to this specific solicitation and I have a set of long percolating ideas related to the gamification of human annotation that will underpin the proposal, however the breadth and scope of "Convergence" projects means that the deliverables (ex., working prototypes) need to be able to cut across disciplines, tools, and all communication domains, including health, climate, news, and other areas where trustworthy and authentic information may be, for lack of a better expression, "all in a muddle" on the Internet. I have previously been through the cycle of funding from NSF (2000-2008) working with computer science, statistics, sociology and political science researchers. The deliverable was DiscoverText, now a 10+ year old annotation science platform that people seem to think is a glorified Tweet collector. In fact, the kernel of that platform was a scientific measurement instrument (inter-rater reliability in crowd source annotation) and a novel adjudication methodology (determining what the gold standard is for recorded observations as well observers themselves). In this new project, we are seeking to build a new team that can move annotation science into the forefront of convergence research and education. If this sounds like something that might be in your wheelhouse, please send me your CV and then let's have a 15-minute conversation: https://calendly.com/discovertext Thanks, ~Stu
