WONS 2023 -- 18th Wireless On-demand Network systems and Services Conference -- Paper registration: 30 Sept. 2022
by Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WONS 2023 18th Wireless On-demand Network systems and Services Conference 30th January - 1st February 2023, Madonna di Campiglio, Italy http://2023.wons-conference.org/#<http://2023.wons-conference.org/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wireless on-demand network systems and services have become mainstream technology, one that keeps shaping the networked world of the future. Different types of wireless LANs, both sub-6 GHz and in higher frequency bands, as well as such established technologies as Bluetooth LE, LTE-Direct, NFC, and optical links are the cornerstone of networking paradigms including NextG cellular, mesh and sensor networks, cloud networks, vehicular networks, non-terrestrial networks and in-body networks. The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. These include providing robust services in highly dynamic and extreme environments, how to minimize energy demands or zero out battery usage in favor of renewable energy sources, how to smartly blend multiple wireless technologies available to a network node (including across radically different bands), and how to make wireless on-demand networks and services self-configurable, adaptive, self-organizing, and self-healing in a wealth of different context, each exhibiting its own peculiar constraints. IFIP WONS, now at its eighteenth edition, has established itself as a high quality forum to address the above and related challenges. WONS 2023 aims at continuing to provide a global platform for rich interactions between experts in their fields, discussing innovative contributions in a stimulating environment. This announcement solicits original contributions of high-quality research providing novel insights on all aspects of wireless on-demand networks and systems. Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to: 5G and 6G networks Cloud/edge/fog computing and networking Cognitive radio networks Cross-layer design Data analytics and ML/AI-driven network systems Heterogeneous wireless networks Joint communications, networking, and sensing Implementations and testbeds Internet of Things Intra-body and biomedical on-demand systems Integration of different wireless technologies Localization and mobility management Mobile computing and services Network and service management Non-terrestrial (aerial, space, underwater, ...) networks Novel architectures, protocols, applications and services Open source software, open source hardware and open data Optical and visible light wireless networks Performance evaluation through simulations, emulations and real-world experiments Pervasive and ubiquitous computing Quantum computing and networking QoS and QoE aspects Security, privacy, and trust Social and economic aspects Sustainable networks and distributed ML/AI services Theoretical and data driven modeling and optimization Vehicular networks Wireless technologies for NextG networks (millimeter-wave, terahertz, ...)

CfP Workshop about Platform Governance of the German Political Science Association
by Lena Ulbricht 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to invite you to submit proposals to the 2022 Workshop of the German Political Science Association about Platform Governance in Duisburg-Essen! Please feel free to share this invitation: pdf enclosed, CfP below. https://www.dvpw.de/gliederung/ak/digitalisierung-und-politik/aktuelles With warm wishes, the speakers of the DVPW Working Group Digitalization and Politics Dr. Pascal König Prof. Dr. Angela Oels Dr. Julia Schwanholz Dr. Lena Ulbricht +++ Call for Papers: Platform Governance and Politics 2022 Workshop of the DVPW Working Group Digitalization and Politics One of the most momentous changes that marks the digital transformation of societies is a trend towards ‘platformization’. Platformization can be understood as an increase of platform-shaped companies and business models (as in many ‘sharing economy’ business models), but also more generally as the advent of an organizational principle that relies upon user-based content, scala-bility, and modularization, among other aspects. The overall implications of platformization have been vividly discussed by scholars from different disciplines and policymakers alike for several years now, for example with regard to the effects of large online platforms on business models, public discourse, and political polarization. This workshop of the DVPW Working Group Digitalization and Politics will zoom in on the political implications of platformization. It deals with the interactions between platformization and policies, politics, political institutions, and regulatory action. The workshop will also engage with related questions of power, social inequality, gender (in)justice, and sustainability. It aims at gathering current research about the political implications of platform governance from all ca-reer levels. The contributions will be organized in thematic panels and each presentation or paper will receive extensive and constructive feedback. The workshop will allow for exchange in Eng-lish and German, and the organizers commit themselves to a working climate of respect and empowerment. We are interested in empirical and theoretical papers and encourage the submis-sion of qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as early work. Contributions can address, but are not limited, to the following topics: - Platform regulation and governance - Social media; public spheres; political communication - Business models; gig work - Gig/sharing economy - Smart city; sustainability - Political participation; democratic representation - Resistance and collective action Relevant work in these and other areas explores how platformization plays out in political insti-tutions and processes, for example how platforms shape the work of public agencies, political parties, activist and interest groups, etc. Do platforms, for instance, propagate market logics, or are their activities mediated by other organizational logics? Who are the winners and losers of platform economies and platform politics? In addition, the workshop will address timely ques-tions about how platforms can and should be regulated or governed and which political conflicts arise around platform governance. The workshop will take place on 28–29 September at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Scholars interested in participating in the workshop are invited to submit a short proposal (max. 300 words) by 31 August 2022. Send your proposal in a PDF to platformgovern-ance(a)wzb.eu. Please indicate whether you intend to hand in a long or a short paper. Full papers (15-20 pages) or short papers (5 pages) are expected for 14 September 2022 (2 weeks before the event). In exceptional cases, travel and accommodation costs can be covered by the organizers – in case of need, please send a message to platformgovernance(a)wzb.eu. -- Dr. Lena Ulbricht Research Group Leader Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society WZB Berlin Social Science Center Forschungsgruppenleiterin Weizenbaum Institut für die vernetzte Gesellschaft Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB) Hardenbergstr. 32 D-10623 Berlin Germany Email: lena.ulbricht(a)wzb.eu https://www.wzb.eu/en/persons/lena-ulbricht
