Call for Papers: HotPlanet 2015
6 International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-Scale Measurement
September 7, 2015, Paris
In Conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2015
th
The last decade has seen a rapid, planet-scale growth in deployment and usage of smart mobile
devices, ambient sensors, smartphone applications and advanced communication technologies. This era has
prompted for large-scale, planet-wide data collection, storage, processing and dissemination technologies,
advancing our knowledge about human behaviour and interactions at a planetary scale. Evolution of such
technologies and methodologies, in addition to the high investments in Internet of things (IoT) deployments, has
inherently led to a number of security, privacy and ethical issues as well as new systems, networking, and
application challenges.
This 6th HotPlanet workshop will bring together networking, wireless, mobile computing and systems
research to understand the challenges ahead and advance the dialogue on topics related to large-scale
measurements and big data analytics centred on individuals. It aims to attract publications on data collection
and analysis, such as knowledge-discovery methodologies, large-scale data mining, and big social media data
and location traces analytics, but also on deployment challenges, such as innovative real-world measurement
technologies, end-user applications, large-scale deployment experiences, and innovative large-scale mobile
sensing systems. Topics of interest include:
