IEEE Workshop on Communication, Computing, and Networking in Cyber-Physical Systems
(IEEE CCNCPS 2019)

The new paradigms and tremendous advances in computing, communications and control have 
provided and supported wide range of applications in all domains of life, in particular, 
bridging the physical components and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems 
(CPS). The notion of CPS is to use recent computing, communication, and control methods to 
design and operate intelligent and autonomous systems using cutting edge technologies. This 
requires the use of computing resources for sensing, processing, analysis, predicting, 
understanding of data, and then communication resources for interaction, intervention, and 
interface management, and finally provide control for systems so that they can inter-operate, 
evolve, and run in a stable evidence-based environment. CPS has extraordinary significance for 
the future of several industrial domains and hence, it is expected that the complexity in CPS 
will continue to increase due to the integration of cyber components with physical and 
industrial systems. This workshop solicits unpublished research work related to the latest 
challenges, technologies, solutions, techniques and fundamentals pertaining to communication, 
computing, networking, control.

1st International Workshop on Data Distribution in Pervasive and Industrial Internet (DIPI)

The ubiquitous presence of data originating from the integration of wireless networks, 
pervasive computing, industrial equipment and people has led to an increased interest in 
solutions for distributed data management and efficient data distribution at the edge of the 
networked environments. At the same time, the cyber-physical convergence, which assists cyber 
components such as sensing systems and dynamic physical components such as industrial and 
mechanical systems to achieve close interactions and feedback loops, leads to the industry's 
transition towards industrial integration and informatization. Those advancements encompass not 
only hardware and software, but also data integration and embrace a collection of techniques 
that use data analysis, manipulation, and distribution to achieve higher efficiency, 
effectiveness, reliability, and security within the industrial and pervasive internet. The 
essence of this vision is the creation of data-driven networks saturated with pervasive 
sensing, computing, and wireless communication that ideally support the needs of individuals, 
societies and industries. The existence of large volumes of data in the industrial and 
pervasive internet has already found its way into many current commercial systems due to the 
tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of technologies including industrial internet of 
things, pervasive computing and communications, and industrial cyber-physical systems.

DIPI 2019 will provide a leading edge technical forum for researchers, engineers, and students 
alike to share their state-of-the art research and developmental work in the area of data 
distribution in industrial and pervasive internet. The workshop intends to attract research 
contributions focusing on data distribution in pervasive and industrial internet from the 
following the communities of Industrial Internet, Pervasive Computing and Communications, 
Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things.

IEEE Workshop on Mobile Energy Sharing Networks (MESN'19)

The organizing committee of the IEEE WoWMoM workshop on Mobile Energy Sharing Networks (MESN) 
is glad to welcome you to the first of this workshop series, which will be held in June 2019 in 
Washington D.C., USA.

The MESN 2019 workshop will bring together academics, researchers, and industry professionals 
from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments, current research 
challenges and future directions in the use of energy sharing among mobile nodes in different 
network applications and benefit from each other's findings and initiate collaborations to 
address the interdisciplinary nature of the topic.

Workshop on Edge Computing and Caching in Communication Networks (E3CN)

Edge Computing is among the most active research fields today and is an essential technology in 
the next-generation communication systems. Edge computing deploys cloud functions in edge nodes 
such as base stations, access points, routers and smart phones, which is a promising 
expectation to provide low latency, low cost, proximity and high bandwidth network service. 
However, transforming this expectation into reality requires significant research efforts. This 
workshop will be devoted to the presentation of pioneering works targeting edge computing in 
communication networks. Additionally, the increasing demand for massive multimedia services in 
cellular networks poses great challenges on network capacity and backhaul links.

SwarmNet: Wireless Networking, Planning, and Computing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarms

Recent advances in embedded computing, wireless communication, flight controllers, and 
miniaturized sensing have enabled the growth of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Networked 
swarms of such UAVs promise breakthroughs in public safety, commercial, and military 
applications including search-and-rescue, disaster response, infrastructure inspection, 
environmental monitoring, virtual/augmented reality, and ISR (intelligence, surveillance and 
reconnaissance).

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working at the intersection of 
wireless networking, mobile computing, sensing, robotics, and/or planning to address a myriad 
of fundamental technical challenges that must be solved before UAV swarms and, more broadly, 
multi-UAV systems can be safely, effectively, and widely deployed. Since many of these 
challenges will not be able to be addressed without the help of UAV swarm simulation platforms, 
experimental testbeds/prototypes, and experimental evaluations, papers on these topics are 
especially encouraged.

2nd SmartGrid Resilience (SGR) Workshop

The workshop will take place during WoWMoM 2019 in Washington DC, USA. Previously unpublished 
contributions in resilience methodologies derived by experimental and theoretical 
communication, networking and data analytics techniques for the SmartGrid are solicited.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (IoT-SoS)

The aim of the workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia 
and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent 
advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concepts: 
technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services.
