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ACM FICN seeks original, novel, and previously unpublished (and currently not under consideration anywhere else) papers that address the challenges faced by modern industrial networks.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

Commonly Used Metrics for Performance Evaluation

The following metrics are commonly used when evaluating scenarios related to DTN protocols. Delivery ratio of the messages, Average message delivery latency Overhead ratio (of the underlying routing mechanism) Suppose that $M$ be the set of all messages created in the network and $M_d$ be the set of all messages delivered. Then, the delivery ratio is computed as $|M_d| / |M|$. Now let the $i^{th}$ delivered message was created at time $c_i$ and delivered at time $d_i$. Then the average message delivery latency is computed as $(\sum_{i = 1}^{|M_d|} (d_i - c_i)) / |M_d|$. Note that, in Statistics, mean, median and mode are all the measures of average. But "loosely speaking", unless otherwise specified, we refer to the "mean" value when we say "average." Nevertheless, the MessageStatsReport in the ONE simulator provides a measure of both the mean and median values wherever appropriate. One may refer the above metric as "end-to-end delay.

The ONE KB has a new home

The ONE Knowledge Base is now hosted at http://theonekb.pythonanywhere.com/ If you are unaware, the ONE KB allows you to search the old email archives of the simulator's community. Therefore, if you have any question related to simulation, you may query the existing database at the above link. Chances are good that your question might already have been answered previously. If not, you can still post an email to the community's mailing list. Have you tried the ONE KB already? How was your experience? Was it helpful? Let me know in the comments!
