- Notification of acceptance : December 31, 2013
- Camera ready due : January 15, 201’
- Workshop: April 14-16, 2014

Scope and topics:

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are the rising technology in near future to build cooperative vehicular networks. One major challenge for future smart vehicles is that a variety of different ITS applications are supposed to communicate with the variety of different units (e.g., communicating energy levels with electric vehicles in Smart Grids); consequently the demand for highly customized communication channel for individual or a set of ITS applications is increased. This workshop is intended to serve as a forum and bring together the researchers and engineers in both academia and industry to exchange ideas, share experiences, and report original works about all aspects of inter-vehicle communication. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, algorithms, mobility and traffic models, and applications.

Domains of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Wireless access technology for vehicular networks
• LLC and MAC for vehicular communications
• Standardization of vehicular technologies
• QoS and QoE for vehicular telematics and performance evaluations
• Modeling of realistic mobility models for vehicular network studies
• Vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-roadside communications
• Mobility and traffic models
• Information dissemination and routing
• Simulation and analytical evaluation techniques
• Localization and tracking
• Adaptive and self-organizing for vehicular networks
• Web Based systems
• Mobile, Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing and communications
• Location-based services for ITS
• Software architectures, systems, applications, and ITS platforms
• Experimental systems, field operational test, and deployment
• ITS applications

SDS 2014: IEEE International Workshop on Software Defined Systems (SDS -2014), March 11-14, 2014, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

IEEE International Workshop on Software Defined Systems (SDS -2014) in conjunction with 2014 IEEE International Conference on  Cloud Engineering (IC2E 2014) March 11, 2014, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

         Call for papers

Next generation cloud systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are constructed and managed. Conventional control and management platforms are facing considerable challenges regarding flexibility, dependability and security that next generation systems will require. The cloud computing paradigm has gone part of the way towards alleviating some of the problems associated with resource allocation, utilization and managements (e.g., via elasticity). However, many of the elements of a well-designed cloud environment remain “stiff” and hard to modify and adapt in an integrated fashion. This includes underlying networking topologies, many aspects of the user control over IaaS, PaaS or SaaS layers when such is needed, construction of XaaS services, provenance and meta-data collection, and so on. In many situations the problem may be because service abstraction is inadequate. Software Defined Systems (SDS) are systems that have added software components which help abstract actual IT equipment and other layers. One classical example, of course, are hypervisors. Such separation provides a great opportunity for system administrators to more easily construct and managing their systems through flexible software layers. Software Defined Systems include Software Defined Networking (SDN), Software Defined Storage, Software Defined Servers (Virtualization), Software Defined Datacenters (SDD), Software Defined Security (SDSec), and ultimately Software Defined Clouds (SDCloud) to name a few possibilities. Individual solutions and seamless integration of these abstractions remains in many respects a challenge. The first International workshop on Software Defined Systems (SDS -2014) is a forum for scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners to present their latest research results, ideas, and developments in the area of software defined systems – both components and their integration - and by implication advancement of next generation clouds.

Dans le cadre de la troisième édition des Trophées de l’Entreprise Innovante lancée le 16 avril 2013 au siège de la CGEM, le MICNT  a émis un communiqué de presse pour rappeler aux entreprises souhaitant participer cette compétition nationale du report de la date limite du dépôt des dossiers de candidatures au mardi 15 octobre 2013 à 16h30.

Les entreprises intéressées peuvent postuler à un ou plusieurs Trophées de leur catégorie « Grande Entreprise », « Catégorie PME/PMI » ou « Catégorie Startup Innovante » (nouvellement intégrée lors de cette édition) sachant que le formulaire de candidature est téléchargeable à partir des sites web:  MICNT : www.mcinet.gov.ma; CGEM : www.cgem.ma et R&D Maroc : www.rdmaroc.com.

Soyez nombreux et merci pour la large diffusion de cette information.

Appels d'offres pour l'innovation

Le MICNT a lancé deux appels d'offres concernant les missions suivantes :

• Migration du réseau social du Club Marocain de l'Innovation vers une plateforme professionnelles dédiée, Animation du RS en question et Gestion du portail d'information du Club. Le délai fixé pour le dépôt des dossiers de candidature est le 9 juillet 2013 ;

• Généralisation du module de formation en création d'entreprises innovantes "Innova Project" au niveau des établissements d'enseignement supérieur (EES) concernés pour l'année académique 2013-2014 et Mise en place d'un Project Management Office (PMO) pour le pilotage et suivi du module au niveau des EES pilotes et futurs. La date limite de soumission des candidatures est le 16 juillet courant.

Pour le premier appel d'offres, l'idéal est d'avoir un consortium d'une entreprise de communication spécialisée dans l'animation de réseaux sociaux et une SS2I. Néanmoins, il peut exister des entreprises qui ont des références dans les deux domaines concernés.

Pour le deuxième, une alliance entre une entreprise référencées dans la création d'entreprises et un cabinet spécialisé dans le management de projets et PMO est convenable. Même remarque par rapport aux entreprises admettant les deux domaines de compétences requis.

Merci de diffuser large cette information pour contribuer à la promotion de l'innovation dans notre pays.
