Abstract
The Radio Environmental Awareness (REA) is emerging as a cornerstone of future 5G networks comprising heterogeneous access technologies needing self-x optimization procedures. Radio Environmental Maps (REMs) provide in-depth radio environmental knowledge and are major contributors in the REA value chain. They represent a synergy between spectrum-sensing and database approaches and can incorporate different radio environmental information such as propagation models, channel states, existence and locations of wireless transceivers and spatial-temporal spectrum utilization. The prerequisites of obtaining reliable and useful radio environmental knowledge are reliable and often real-time capable techniques for signal and interference detection, transmitter localization, propagation model estimation etc.

Abstract
The exponential growth in data generation and network traffic created by Internet-of-Things deployments requires new architectures for large-scale data sensing, communication, storage, manipulation, processing and analysis. Big data analysis offers the possibility of increased efficiency by valorizing valuable insights: patterns, tendencies, models, thus generating the need for extreme computing capabilities. Cloud computing has become the de facto model for on-demand access to large-scale computing networks, comprising servers, storage, services and applications, providing high computing power, high performance, accessibility as well as availability at reduced costs of service.

Abstract
For the fast development of smart terminals and applications, the demands on the next generation mobile (namely, 5G, the 5th generation) are expected to be very large in near future. The technique development focusing on the 5G has drawn a lot of research attention. It is expected that compared to the 4G mobile, the 5G systems should have 1000 times higher aggregated mobile data volume per area, 10 to 100 times higher typical user data rate and number of connected devices, and 10 times longer battery life for low power devices and reduced end-to-end latency. Meanwhile, three key efficiency indicators are also proposed as: 5-15x spectrum efficiency, 100+x energy efficiency, and 100+x cost efficiency. To achieve these technique objectives of the 5G systems, novel access technique is one of the most essential one. There are a lot of research topics recently in this area. This session seeks to bring together recent developments on the access techniques for the 5G.

Abstract
Cloud providers have become unable to meet the ever increasing demand for resources and customers’ requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, solutions including inter-cloud, Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FME) have been introduced as a trusted and dependable solution which puts the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, and facilitates the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. Inter-cloud is expected to fix the fact that there is no single cloud that has the infinite physical resources needed to deal with the growing number of things that are being connected to the cloud. The purpose of FMEC, on the other hand, is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices.

Scope
The vision of future 5G networks encompasses a heterogeneous communication landscape in which existing Radio Access Technologies (RATs), such as 3G, 4G, WiFi, etc., will be integrated with evolving wireless technologies and systems, software-design network architectures and cloud-enabled services. The technical requirements set for 5G systems are breath-taking, including the support of up to 1000 times higher data volumes, end-user data rates up to 10 Gb/s, very low service-level latency below 5ms, ubiquitous communicating things and mass connectivity supporting 300,000 devices within a single cell, ultra-high reliability and reduced energy consumption. The ambition towards 5G systems is to provide a customized, advanced user-centric value at an affordable price, in an effort to strengthen key societal needs in domains such as transportation, health, environment, retail, sports, entertainment, etc.
The emerging 5G ecosystem is expected to be comprised by an ultra-dense, heterogeneous deployment of multiple RATs with a wide range of backhauling options (e.g. microwave, E-band, optical, etc.), owned and shared by multiple stakeholders and tenants and supporting highly diverse applications and services, from Over-The-Top (OTT) applications, to proximity services and Machine Type Communications (MTC). A user-centric approach will be adopted, leading to the emerging disruptive cell-less architecture that goes beyond the traditional single-cell user association, enabling the joint consideration of all network resources (spanning across different cells, networks and/or operators) as a common resource pool. Innovative service-oriented network architectures supporting edge-cloud technology will open the road for enhanced user Quality of Experience (QoE), social applications and proximity services. Finally, network virtualization and Software Defined Networking (SDN) will play a key role in supporting multi-tenancy and enabling the optimization and management of the network operation.
Call for Papers
The workshop will address keynotes, panels and peer reviewed papers on 5G cell-less architectures, with the goal to report the latest advancements in the field. Network virtualization, 5G architectures and distributed cloud architectures must be central to all topics that include, but not limited to the following:

Hang Long, Beijing University of Posts & Telecommunications, China
Scope
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) have been developed rapidly all over the world. All the information in vehicles/high-speed trains, roads and the surrounding environments is collected and communicated among vehicles/ high-speed trains and humans. Moreover, huge amount of data is stored, computed and processed in the common platform, by which the system can effectively reduce the road accidents, improve the traffic management, and enable people to enjoy mobile Internet application services.
On the way to implement ITS in our real life, many challenges have to be conquered. First of all, it is essential to provide efficient, reliable and in time communications to all vehicles/trains and their embedded sensors. Thanks to the emerging new technologies in the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication networks, feasible solutions, e.g., new signal processing schemes, cloud computing, network virtualization, and so on, can be provided to meet various requirements of ITS services. Empowered with the advanced 5G communications capabilities, it is expected that future ITS can well support the functions of sensing, networking, computing and controlling. Thus, it can greatly improve the efficiencies in transportation infrastructures while reducing the traffic congestions, emergencies and accident. Moreover, the processing and storage technologies of big data in future ITS become very important with the massive number of vehicles/trains connected by 5G networks. All these issues are being studied in academics, industries, and standardization organizations.
Call for Papers
The workshop aims to provide a forum for authors to present early research results on 5G technology for future ITS that advance the state of the art and practice in 5G and ITS, including theoretical principles, tools, applications, systems infrastructure, and testbeds. Topics of interest include (but not limited to) the following:

Scope
Internet traffic is continuously growing exponentially. Meanwhile, the explosive growth of the number of connected devices, backed by applications in the growing Internet of Things, places Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications in the spotlight. Future networks are therefore now called to support applications with requirements ranging from guaranteed delivery of low throughput and low latency flows (M2M) to ones with very high throughput with low delay (4K live streaming). However, the current state of the art shows that scalable solutions are not really feasible. New areas need to be explored and new techniques further developed.
Taking into account the impact of prediction on the users’ demand and availability of network resources could be one direction. By predicting and adapting to upcoming events at various time scales, an anticipatory-enabled network dramatically improves the operation quality and efficiency in comparison to the existing systems. On the other hand, wireless caching and distributed resource management have become core research aspects for the upcoming 5G technologies, with potential for significant benefits. Additionally, due to the massive access of the medium in the 5G era and in the IoT scenarios, more flexible and distributed protocols have to be deployed, focusing on short packets at very high rates. In such protocols the nodes should be auto-configurable without centralized operations.

Scope
5G networks will provide solutions to support a dynamic range of services from different industries, e.g. mobile, energy, automobile, health and manufactory industry. Due to the nature of different industries, the requirements defined by key performance indicators, like peak data rate, average user data rate, latency, energy consumption, service deployment time, are totally different. It is very complex to manage different services in 5G networks. To release to potential of 5G networks to the full support of vertical sectors, advanced technologies like software defined network (SDN), network virtualization, network function virtualization, network slicing and sharing need to be well addressed so as to reshape the network architecture and provide flexible enough network management for 5G networks. It is the purpose of the workshop to disseminate most recent results on these topics.
Moreover, the commoditization of key processing components coupled with virtualization of infrastructure functions will lead to a radical change in the economics of mobile networks. The latter will help network providers (e.g., MNO, MVNO) move from proprietary hardware and software platforms towards open and flexible cellular systems based on general-purpose cloud infrastructures. In this context, 5G systems will see a paradigm shift in three planes: the data-plane, control-plane, and management-plane, in support of higher performance, efficient signalling, flexible and intelligent control and coordination in heterogeneous networks.

Abstract
Following the establishment of virtualization approaches, cloud services within data center environments have become easily manageable. Modern infrastructures use virtual machines as a platform for service delivery, requiring powerful servers. Conjointly, the uprising of the Internet of Things implies new challenges to provide applications that can successfully manage data and communicate with a large number of connected devices. The standards of entry have resulted in extreme difficulties for small enterprises and educational institutions trying to provide their own virtualized services. The Hypriot Cluster Lab (HCL) - made publicly available on Github1 - offers cloud functionality while running on ARM processors, thereby minimizing costs. Due to the fact that such processors offer less computational power, services are packaged into lightweight containers built using the Docker framework, which avoid the overhead associated with virtual machines.

Abstract
The tutorial will highlight the most prominent technical challenges of and possible approaches for networking in the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) band. Communication at such high frequencies brings unique challenges, primarily due the high signal attenuation, which can only be overcome by the use of highly directional antennas. This results in much less interference compared to omni-directional communication at lower frequencies, allowing for a high degree of spatial reuse and potentially simpler Medium Access Control Protocols (MAC) and interference management mechanisms. However, high directionality may cause deafness due to beam misalignments, whereas channels may appear and disappear over short time intervals and cause sudden communication blockages, in particular for mobile devices. This in turn requires a radical rethinking of wireless network design. The tutorial specifically focuses on networking aspects of the MAC layer and above.

Abstract
This tutorial aims to familiarize the attendees with the new communication paradigm of simultaneous energy and information transmission (SEIT) in wireless networks. The tutorial is divided into four parts. In the first part, the relevance of SEIT is highlighted as a powerful technique to ensure a more efficient energy utilization in future “green” communication systems, e.g, 5G networks, small cells, Wi-Fi networks, sensor networks and ad hoc networks. In the second part, particular attention is paid to existing techniques for implementing SEIT in point-to-point wireless communications. In particular, power allocation and beamforming techniques are reviewed. At the same time, strong emphasis is put on the fundamental limits of this technology using basic notions from information theory. In the third part, multi-user scenarios are studied and the key aspects of the energy-information trade-off are studied in both centralized networks, e.g, cellular networks and decentralized networks, e.g., sensor networks and ad hoc networks. In the latter, basic notions of game theory are studied to model the stable operating points of these networks. In the final part, practical aspects are tackled putting an emphasis on the main future challenges of SEIT in the context of 5G. For instance, front-end architectures allowing both energy harvesting and information decoding are studied. At the same time, aspects regarding in-band and out-band energy transmission as well as co-located and non-co-located receivers and energy harvesters are discussed.

Abstract
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has been the topic of endless discussions in the research community in the past few years, for two main reasons: i) due to the huge advantages that such a networking paradigm would bring, and ii) due to the difficulty of implementing such a radical change on top of the current Internet. Information-Centric Networks work on the basis of content, rather than end-hosts. In the vast majority of Internet transfers, users are not actually interested in the host-to-host communication per se, but instead in the actual content/data/information that the host in question holds. Therefore, instead of searching for the host that holds the content of interest, ICN focuses on the search and resolution of the content itself, irrespectively of where the content is, who is the host of the content, or how can the content-host be reached. The evolution steps from the client-server model to the ICN proposal included IP Multicast, Web-caching, Content Distribution Networks (CDNs), Peer-to-Peer computing, but were also influenced from the wireless and mobile world, i.e., Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), Opportunistic networks and Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (DTNs). In this tutorial, we will start off with a short summary on the evolution of content-based networking through the years, which is necessary in order to understand the foundations of the ICN pyramid; then we will dive into the details of specific research challenges in ICN. These challenges span from network layer naming and addressing to in-network caching and resource management and further to application-layer issues. The open issues in this area far outweigh the solved ones and hence, our discussion and presentation will focus on the related tradeoffs and research directions for future ICN investigations.

Thessaloniki also known in English as Thessalonica, Salonika or Salonica, is the second-largest city in Greece.
Thessaloniki is Greece's second major economic, industrial, commercial and political centre, and a major transportation hub for the rest of southeastern Europe; its commercial port is also of great importance for Greece and the southeastern European hinterland. The city is renowned for its festivals, events and vibrant cultural life in general, and is considered to be Greece's cultural capital. Events such as the Thessaloniki International Trade Fair and the Thessaloniki International Film Festival are held annually.
Thessaloniki is a popular tourist destination in Greece. For 2013, National Geographic Magazine included Thessaloniki in its top tourist destinations worldwide, while in 2014 Financial Times FDI magazine (Foreign Direct Investments) declared Thessaloniki as the best mid-sized European city of the future for human capital and lifestyle.
Thessaloniki enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with its location in northern Greece resulting in the region receiving more rain than other areas of the country, and seeing lower temperatures during the winter. Summers in Thessaloniki are generally hot and dry, and the area receives an abundance of sunshine even during the low season.
Thessaloniki's international airport is 16 km outside the city and served by many major airlines. The airport is served by the 24-hour bus line 78 (or 78N during night) from OASTH. Line 78 starts from Macedonia Central Bus Station, stops at the Railway Station of Thessaloniki and arrives to the airport through the city center. Line 78A travels the same route with the difference, that it makes an additional stop at the A.S. IKEA bus station. At the Railway Station and A.S.
