-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CfP: JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT - Special Issue on Distributed Management Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2003 08:02:14 +0100 From: Burkhard Stiller <stiller(a)tik.ee.ethz.ch> Organization: ETH Zürich, TIK To: ajita(a)avaya.com CALL FOR PAPERS JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/jnsm/ Special Issue on Distributed Management The recent rapid increase in the complexity of networks is mainly due to the expanded range of network devices and systems, multiple inter-connected networking technologies, and intricate services such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Voice over IP (VoIP). The intricacies in the services have been supported by increased capabilities in network elements and have compounded the difficulties in maintaining Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The increased complexity in networks poses tremendous challenges for management in terms of functionality, the amount of data to be processed, and the types of data. It is envisioned that distributed management will play a strong role in managing complex networks where the distribution of the various aspects of management such as monitoring, configuration, provisioning, accounting, billing, fault, and performance becomes imperative for greater reliability, scalability and efficiency. This special issue is intended to present the crucial issues and efficient solutions in the distributed management of current and future networks. The focus of this special issue will include the following topics: · Distributed Management Architectures · Distributed Management of Service Level Agreements and Quality of Service · Distributed IP Traffic Management · Distributed Management for Intra and Inter-domain Bandwidth Brokerage · Distributed Management of IP Services such as VPN and Voice Over IP · Distributed Management of Mobile Systems and Wireless Networks · Distributed Management of IP Over SONET/SDH, WDM, and CATV · Distributed Charging and Accounting for IP Services · Distributed Fault, Performance, and Security Management · Distributed Configuration and Policy-based Management · Directory, Web, and XML technologies in Distributed Management · Frameworks for developing Distributed Management Applications · Scalability, Reliability, and Performance Issues in Distributed Management · Case Studies of Distributed Management Systems · Experiences with Commercial Distributed Management Systems Instructions to Contributors: We invite prospective authors to submit high quality journal papers via e-mail to one of the guest editors, depending on their geographic zone.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] CFP: IJCAI-03 Workshop on Web Request Modeling and Prediction Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 16:51:04 -0500 (EST) From: Brian D. Davison <brian(a)cse.lehigh.edu> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: Undisclosed recipients: ; ****************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************************** IJCAI-03 Workshop on Web Request Modeling and Prediction Sunday, August 10, 2003 http://www.cse.lehigh.edu/web-prediction/ ****************************************************************** Web request modeling and prediction has been proposed by many as a significant tool for personalization, for the optimization of caching systems, and in Web mining. An accurate prediction system, for example, can be used to pre-load content into a browser or proxy's cache, perform pre-calculation within a Web server, or search ahead for information of interest to an end user. Significant end-user benefits are often claimed from the reduction of client-perceived latencies that result from increased cache hit rates. This workshop will provide a focused venue for discussion of algorithms and implementations for predicting Web requests. Previous work on this topic has been scattered across many disciplines, making definitive progress on this task difficult. Moreover, researchers often end up re-discovering useful techniques. By bringing such people together in a single venue, we can recognize common ground, share our experiences, and evolve a common vocabulary. Likely participants are expected to include researchers in the AI, ML, KDD, UM and Web systems communities. We solicit contributions and participation to examine: * state-of-the-art techniques for request prediction * the trade-off of complexity and storage versus predictive performance * the role of client-side caching on model accuracy * the effect of using HTTP referrer tags * the role that request timestamps play in model generation and accuracy * comparative performance on standardized datasets and evaluation * appropriate evaluation methods (such as those that are tied to real-world utility) * the effect of classifying user browsing modes Submission Instructions Participants for this one-day workshop will be selected through three mechanisms. The first is the traditional high-quality original peer-reviewed research paper, which would be presented during the workshop. The second is a short position statement, indicating relevant experience, past publications, and interest. Finally, we will invite the authors of top-performing prediction software (as measured by pre-workshop performance on a standardized dataset) to the workshop, and ask the authors of the best systems to present their techniques in a paper and a talk at the workshop. Further details are available on the workshop web site. All submissions must be in English, formatted according to IJCAI standards, and sent to the workshop chair by email as a PDF (preferred) or Postscript attachment. Note: Participants are expected to register for the main IJCAI conference in addition to the workshop, and attendance will be limited to encourage interaction. Important Dates and Deadlines * Deadline for submitting prediction results of standardized datasets: February 14, 2003 * Deadline for the submission of full papers (6 to 8 pages) or position statements (1-2 pages): February 28, 2003. * Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 24, 2003. * Deadline for the receipt of camera-ready papers: May 9, 2003.

Papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM/Kluwer Wireless Networks (WINET) and Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) journals. CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference also solicits short papers (maximum of 8 pages) that challenge the mobile computing community with revolutionary new technologies or visionary applications. Such papers should provide stimulating ideas or grand visions that may open up exciting avenues of far-reaching future research; descriptions of new products or simple evolution of existing work are not appropriate as Challenges Papers. Challenges Papers will be reviewed and should be submitted using the normal submission procedure but must be clearly identified as intended as Challenges Papers. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) or PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 15 pages (8 pages for Challenges submissions), in font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches) with reasonable margins. Detailed instructions on the paper submission procedure and format will be available on the conference web pages. The paper submission deadline for all papers is March 5, 2003. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or PDF file. Submitted papers (or substantially similar papers) must not be currently under review for any other publication. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom_pcchairs(a)acm.org. TUTORIALS: Proposals for tutorials are solicited. Evaluation of tutorial proposals will be based on the expertise and experience of the instructors, and on the relevance of the subject matter. Potential instructors are requested to submit a tutorial proposal of at most 5 pages, including a biographical sketch, to the Tutorial Co-Chairs by April 7, 2003. PANELS: Panels are solicited that examine innovative, controversial, or otherwise provocative issues of interest. Panel proposals should not exceed 3 pages, including biographical sketches of the panelists. Potential panel organizers should contact the Panel Co-Chairs by April 21, 2003.
