SIROCCO has a tradition of interesting and productive scientific meetings in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, attracting leading researchers in a variety of fields in which communication and knowledge play a significant role. This year, SIROCCO is held in Montserrat, a beautiful location not far from Barcelona, Spain. SCOPE: Original papers are solicited from all areas of study of local structural knowledge and global communication and computational complexities. Among the typical areas are distributed computing, communication networks, game theory, parallel computing, social networks, mobile computing (including autonomous robots), peer to peer systems, communication complexity, fault tolerant graph theories, and randomized/probabilistic issues in networks. Keeping up with the tradition of SIROCCO, new areas are always welcome. In fact, this time we will have a special track on bio-inspired systems. BEST STUDENT PAPER: A Best Student Paper Award will be awarded to a paper coauthored by one or more full-time students at the time of submission. The program committee may decline to make this awards or split it. SUBMISSION: Papers are to be submitted electronically (through EasyChair). Submission instructions and guidelines are available at the conference web page. Authors are invited to submit their work in one of the three acceptable formats: novel research contributions, position papers, and surveys.

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. ] Call for papers: IEEE Transactions on Computers Special Issue on "Selected Topics in Smart City Computing" http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tcsi_stscc.p… IMPORTANT DATES *************************** Open for submissions in ScholarOne Manuscripts: Nov. 1, 2014 Closed for submissions: February 1, 2015 --> Feb. 15th. 2015 Results of first round of reviews: May 1, 2015 Submission of revised manuscripts: June 1, 2015 Results of second round of reviews: Aug. 1, 2015 Publication materials due: Sep. 1, 2015 DETAILS ABOUT THE ISSUE *************************** Developing smart city is the key to the next generation urbanization process for improving the efficiency, reliability, and security of a traditional city. The concept of smart city includes various aspects such as environmental sustainability, social sustainability, regional competitiveness, natural resources management, cybersecurity, and quality of life improvement. With the massive deployment of networked smart devices/sensors, unprecedentedly large amount of sensory data can be collected and processed by advanced computing paradigms which are the enabling techniques for smart city. For example, given historical environmental, population and economic information, salient modeling and analytics are needed to simulate the impact of potential city planning strategies, which will be critical for intelligent decision making. Analytics are also indispensable for discovering the underlying structure from retrieved data in order to design the optimal policies for real time automatic control in the cyberphysical smart city system. Furthermore, uncertainties and security concerns in the data collected from heterogeneous resources aggravate the problem, which makes smart city planning, operation, monitoring and control highly challenging. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: • Advanced big data modeling and analytics for smart city planning, monitoring and control • Social media, crowdsourcing and collaborative behavior management • Outdoor/indoor geolocation and cartography continuity • Design and implementation of embedded system for smart city applications • Advanced control techniques in the smart city as a cyberphysical system • Technologies in electrical vehicle, smart building and smart home • Cybersecurity and privacy issues related to smart city • Heterogeneous sensor network and cooperative sensing for smart city • Renewable energy and smart energy management for smart city • Design and synthesis of computing schemes and architectures for smart city • Development of fault detection and diagnosis techniques for smart city • Modeling and computing techniques for environmental and social issues in smart city • Sustainable technologies for smart city SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *************************** Prospective authors are invited to submit their manuscripts electronically after the “open for submissions” date, adhering to the IEEE Transactions on Computers guidelines (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/tc/author) Please submit your papers through the online system (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tc-cs) and be sure to select the special issue or special section name. Manuscripts should not be published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Please submit only full papers intended for review, not abstracts, to the ScholarOne portal. If requested, abstracts should be sent by e-mail to the Guest Editors directly.

CFP (Final Extended Deadline, Feb. 4): ICSE Workshop on Complex faUlts and Failures in LargE Software Systems (COUFLESS 2015)
by SARA ISABEL GONZALEZ ALVAREZ 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

The final deadline for full research papers submissions has been extended to: February 4, 2015! (Apologies for cross-posting) CALL FOR PAPERS COUFLESS: COmplex faUlts and Failures in LargE Software Systems https://sites.google.com/site/coufless2015 May 23, 2015 Firenze, Italy Co-located with the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering ICSE 2015 (http://2015.icse-conferences.org/) Not only has the volume of information being handled increased, it has also grown more complex, as have the applications - the many collaborating components of large, distributed applications may individually process information from diverse sources that must all be transformed and properly ordered to produce accurate and timely results. Many of the faults in these applications occur as a result of complex conditions that accrue within the applications and a significant time lag between fault activation and failure is due to error states that cross between the components of these applications and the databases. These faults, to which we refer as Mandelbugs, are difficult to isolate and the failures they are hard to reproduce. The theory of software debugging is stuck at the notion of a software system as a single program with input data. Debugging distributed components involves correlating messages that these components send to one another. Mandelbug debugging is difficult due to the lack of understanding of interactions among different components. TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------------- Major topics of interest this year will include (but not limited): · Applications of software maintenance technologies; · Reliable software architectures and software engineering techniques; · Middleware and Infrastructures for software support and maintenance; · Reliability and debugging aspects of the computational models such as object-oriented, declarative (functional, logic, constraint), programming or their extensions with coordination capabilities; · Formal aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification); · Software artifact mining for maintenance and evolution; · Evolution and reverse engineering; · Refactoring to improve software reliability. · Software fault location · Software testing · Latency tail tolerance systems · Industrial points of view: experiences, applications, open issues; IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------- Paper submissions: February 4, 2015 (extended) Authors notification: February 20, 2015 (extended) Camera-ready copies: February 27, 2015 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ----------------------------------------- Mark Grechanik, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Javier Alonso, Universidad de Leon, Spain Allen P.
