ACM FICN 2018: Call for Papers


The 1st ACM International Workshop on Future Industrial Communication Networks (FICN) will be held in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2018 at New Delhi, India. The tentative date of the workshop is either 29 October or 02 November, 2018 (to be confirmed very soon).

ACM FICN seeks original, novel, and previously unpublished (and currently not under consideration anywhere else) papers that address the challenges faced by modern industrial networks. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by the members of the Technical Program Committee where technical merit, novelty, timeliness, and relevance to the workshop shall be taken into consideration.

Topics of interest to ACM FICN include, but are not limited to:
  • Autonomous and intelligent intent-based networks
  • Critical communication network and systems
  • Industry 4.0 communication systems and related standards
  • Green communication and battery-saving systems
  • Large-scale sensor networks and industrial IoT (IIoT) applications
  • 5G and industrial requirements
  • Reliable and time sensitive networks
  • Industrial applications of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks
  • Heterogeneous networks involving modern and legacy (non IP-based) equipment
  • Bid and design phases of communication networks (optimization & coverage)
  • Low-power wide area machine-to-machine networks
  • Software-defined networking (SDN) for industry
  • Condition monitoring, analytics, and prognosis for industrial systems
  • Cybersecurity: dissemination, identification, and defense against industrial malware/botnets
  • Test-beds and real-life measurements for highly scalable industrial applications
Download the detailed CFP. Paper submission is now open; please make sure to go through the guidelines.

Important Dates

 Paper submission: June 10, 2018 June 29, 2018 11:59 PM IST (UTC +05:30)

Text Highlighting in Latex

While preparing a manuscript with Latex, it is often useful to highlight the changes made in the current revision with a different color. This can be achieved using the \ textcolor command provided by Latex. For example, \textcolor {red}{Hello World} would display the string "Hello World" in red color. However, the final/published copy of the manuscript does not contain any highlighted text. Therefore, if a large volume of changes were made, it becomes tiresome at the end to find and remove all the individual portions of highlighted text. This can be circumvented by defining a utility command to switch highlighting on and off as desired. In the following, we define a new Latex command, highlighttext , for this purpose. The command takes only a single argument—the text to be highlighted.     \usepackage {color}    % For highlighting changes in this version with red color   \newcommand { \highlighttext }[1] { \textcolor {red}{#1}}   % Remove...

Specifying Source and Destination of Messages

One of the frequently asked questions in the community is how to specify which particular nodes would act as source(s) and destination(s) of the messages created in the ONE simulator. The simulator, in fact, provides a pair of settings (shown below in bold face) aimed for this particular purpose. Let us consider that there are $n + 1$ nodes in an OMN.  Further, let the nodes with addresses from $x$ to $y$, both inclusive, would create messages. The nodes in the range $w$ to $z$, both inclusive, would be the destinations of those messages, where $0 \le x \le y \le n$, and $0 \le w \le z \le n$. Then, the corresponding simulation scenario can be configured as follows. ## Message creation parameters # How many event generators Events.nrof = 1 # Class of the first event generator Events1.class = MessageEventGenerator # (Following settings are specific for the MessageEventGenerator class) # Creation interval in seconds (one new message every 25 to 35 seconds) Events1.interval ...

The ONE Tutorial (Moved)

Contents Introduction Why? Target Audience Pre-conditions The Scenario General Steps Configuration File(s) Specify Scenario Settings Specify Network Interfaces for Nodes Create a Group of Nodes Specify Motion Patterns Specify Traffic Pattern Specify Reports to be Generated Running the Simulation The ONE tutorial has moved to a new page. Please click here to follow. Introduction Opportunistic Network Environment is a Java-based simulator targeted for research in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs)/Opportunistic Mobile Networks (OMNs). Apart from letting a user to simulate different scenarios quickly and in a flexible manner, it also provides an easy way to generate statistics from the simulation performed. ONE can be run on Linux, Windows, or any other platform supporting Java. Details about ONE, including how to download and run, can be found from the official site . A list of common questions and their answers are listed here . Read more »
