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ACM FICN seeks original, novel, and previously unpublished (and currently not under consideration anywhere else) papers that address the challenges faced by modern industrial networks.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.

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...

Cohere Aya Dataset: Exploring the Split-by-language Collection

A snapshot of the Aya collection (Bengali) . Image taken from HuggingFace. In February 2024, Cohere launched Aya , a multilingual Large Language Model (LLM). Alongside, a set of datasets used to train Aya has also been released. For example, the aya_dataset consists around 205K examples annotated by humans. On the other hand, the recently released aya_collection_language_split is a gigantic dataset with more than 500 million data points spread across more than 100 languages. As the name suggests, this dataset is split by language. For example, all data points in Bengali, irrespective of the underlying task, can be found in a single split. Apart from the original human-annotated examples from the aya_dataset, aya_collection_language_split also contains a lot of translated and templated data. The dataset is released using an Apache-2.0 license, allowing academic and commercial use. The Bengali Language Split Each language split in the Aya collection has three splits. The Bengali split,...

50K Views of the DTN Blog

The DTN blog recently reached a milestone — it crossed 50,000 page views! The journey of this blog — and that of mine with the ONE simulator — started in 2011. Back in those days, old-timers would recall, there were not much resources available on the ONE simulator. After spending some time with it, I was finally able to gain some understanding about its functionality and work flow. I realized that a short how-to document might benefit others. What started as a humble effort to provide a quick tutorial on the ONE simulator soon became a popular resource in the community over the years. I'm thankful to all the users of the ONE mailing list who continuously kept me motivated to enrich this blog. I took this opportunity to prepare an infographic on the usage of the DTN blog based on the statistics provided by Blogger. It has not been possible to include all statistics in the infographic. A few interesting observations are noted below. Undoubtedly, the ONE tutorial is the mos...
