[Fwd: [Tccc] Four SIGCOMM 2004 Workshops CALL FOR PAPERS]
by Lars Wolf 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Four SIGCOMM 2004 Workshops CALL FOR PAPERS Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 13:23:38 -0600 From: Chris Edmondson-Yurkanan <chris(a)cs.utexas.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS This year, SIGCOMM continues its expanded scope with significant emphasis on workshops. We solicit papers and participation in the following four one-day workshops. 1. Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture (FDNA-04) 2. Workshop on Practice and Theory of Incentives and Game Theory in Networked Systems (PINS) 3. Network Troubleshooting: Research, Theory and Operations Practice Meet Malfunctioning Reality 4. NetGames-04 These workshops will be held with SIGCOMM'04 to be held from August 30 - September 3, 2004 in Portland, Oregon, US. For a detailed description of the workshops and submission guidelines, visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2004/workshops.html (And look for a Workshop flyer at Infocom 2004.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture (FDNA-04) Paper submission deadline: April 30, 2004. The architecture of a network specifies the essential principles that guide its design, especially its service and control interfaces, its partitioning into functional components, the interaction amongst these functional components, and the engineering of its protocols and algorithms. Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. The current Internet architecture has scaled beyond the wildest dreams of its designers. However, it has a number of significant problems when employed to fulfill service requirements or when applied to some classes of networks for which it was not originally designed. In recent years, several attempts have been made to work around these problems. These range from simple address partitioning (NAT), various proposed changes to the routing and naming infrastructure (ad-hoc, name-based routing, store-and-forward, overlay networks, capabilities for enhanced security, etc) to the use of alternative network architectures such as those proposed for mass-scale sensor networks, networks of mobile wireless devices, and high-delay inter-planetary networks. This call solicits papers on two broad topics: (a) Architectural limitations of the current Internet and techniques to overcome these limitations; and (b) Descriptions of and innovative architectures for new classes of networks. Submissions ranging from presentations of specific research to more general, philosophical position papers are welcome. Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Practice and Theory of Incentives and Game Theory in Networked Systems (PINS) Paper submission deadline: April 19, 2004 Traditional system design assumes that all participants behave according to the intentions of the system architects. In reality, computer networks are heterogeneous, dynamic and distributed environments managed by multiple administrative authorities and shared by users with different and competing interests. Recently, there has been growing interest in using tools from Game Theory (GT) and Mechanism Design (MD) to tackle incentive-related problems in these complex environments. For these methods to be successful in practical networked systems, it is vital to understand and incorporate realistic models and constraints for such central system properties as player types and strategies, scalability, asynchronicity, observability, verification, and frequency & time scale of interactions. The goal of this workshop is to promote an exchange of ideas on the true applicability, range and validity of game-theoretic and economic models for analysis and design of Internet and Internet-based systems. The workshop solicits technical or position papers of two types: (1) Incentives in Practice: Papers that focus on practicality and realistic applications of Game Theory to networked systems; and (2) Models & theoretical results for networked systems: Papers that assess the applicability of specific models and/or results in Game theory and Mechanism Design to distributed and networked systems, or outline new approaches to analyzing these problems. Submissions should be no more than 8 pages in length with 10pt fonts or larger. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Network Troubleshooting: Research, Theory and Operations Practice Meet Malfunctioning Reality Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2004 Network monitoring and measurement has received a great deal of attention in the research community recently. This workshop endeavors to focus on finding problems, failures and anomalies in networks. The workshop seeks papers exploring several themes: (1) Detection: Mechanisms and techniques for detecting failures, imminent failures and other anomalies in real time. (2) Correction: While detecting problems (or imminent problems) and alerting network operators is a good first step, techniques for automatically mitigating problems as they occur are also sought. (3) Coordination: Detecting and solving problems in a multi-provider environment inevitably involves communicating between distinct autonomous entities. Mechanisms and facilities to streamline and automate such communication are sought. (4) Experience: Insight from network operators into network problems they cannot easily detect (or, detect far too late) and tools that would make network management much easier. Input from network operators on non-obvious or non-technical considerations which impact technical solutions are also sought. This workshop invites two kinds of submissions: (1) Original papers on any area of network measurement, monitoring or management specifically directed towards one or more of the above themes. (2) Poster presentation proposals. While posters on any of the above themes will be accepted, posters on operational experience are highly sought. Submissions ranging from presentations of specific research to position papers are welcome. Papers presenting interesting and novel ideas at an early stage of development are preferred over completed journal-style results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, with impact and implications for both operational networks and ongoing or future research. Original papers should be 3-6 standard SIGCOMM formatted pages (with the expectation that position papers will be shorter and research papers longer). Poster proposals should be sent in the form of 1-page abstracts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NetGames'04 Submission deadline: April 16, 2004 The NetGames workshop is an attempt to bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry to present new research in understanding networked gaming systems. Submissions are sought in any area related to networked games. The areas of interest include (but are not limited to) game-specific research in: Network measurement and modeling; system benchmarking and provisioning; latency issues and lag compensation techniques; cheat detection and prevention; service platforms, architectures, and middleware; protocol design; mobile and resource-constrained gaming; augmented physical gaming systems; user and usability studies; quality of service and content adaptation; security, authentication, and accounting. We solicit submissions of full papers (12 pages) and short papers (6 page) (single-spaced, double column, 11pt font). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Chris Edmondson-Yurkanan TAY 4.136; +1 512 471 9546 Fax: 471 8885 The University of Texas at Austin Email addresses are: chris(a)cs.utexas.edu Computer Sciences Department or for fun: dragon(a)cs.utexas.edu 1 University Station C0500 URL: www.cs.utexas.edu/users/chris/ Austin, TX 78712-0233 Fedex: please send to Taylor Hall 2.124 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CfP: Workshop Algorithms and Protocols for Efficient Peer-to-Peer Applications Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 10:13:42 +0100 From: Thomas Fuhrmann <fuhrmann(a)TM.UKA.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE *** Apologies if you receive multiple copies *** *** Please distribute the call to interested parties *** CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on ALGORITHMS AND PROTOCOLS FOR EFFICIENT PEER-TO-PEER APPLICATIONS as part of the GI-Conference INFORMATIK 2004 in Ulm, Germany (see http://www.informatik2004.de/index.php?id=workshops for details) SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST Peer-to-peer protocols and applications have drawn much attention recently. Especially file-sharing applications like Gnutella, Kazaa, and e-Donkey have become very popular. But other areas in the field of communication networks and distributed systems have also begun to use peer-to-peer concepts. Meanwhile, peer-to-peer protocols are used in quite diverse areas, such as multicast streaming of multimedia content, distributed databases, instant messaging services, and grid-computing middleware. However, as diverse as the applications are the algorithms and protocols that are based on peer-to-peer concepts. In order to achieve efficient, scalable solutions, it is thus especially important to support the respective application with a suitable peer-to-peer approach. Following the overall motto of the conference “Informatik verbindet”, this workshop aims at bringing together researchers from all areas of informatics and computer science to discuss how the diversity of peer-to-peer protocols and algorithms can be leveraged to create efficient and scalable solutions for all kinds of distributed systems. We expect this workshop to be of interest for researchers from both, academic institutions and industry. The participants may either have a peer-to-peer networking background themselves, or have an interest in the application of peer-to-peer technology to other areas of distributed systems. Topics of interest include (non-exhaustive list): * lessons learned from deploying real-world P2P protocols * evolution of P2P file sharing protocols/state-of-the-art P2P file sharing techniques * trust, security, anonymity, and accounting: special focus on P2P in open environments * performance evaluation of P2P applications using different underlying P2P protocols * tools and frameworks for P2P protocol and application development * incentives for using the P2P approach in systems like distributed databases and grid computing middleware * challenges faced and benefits gained when turning traditional client-server applications into P2P applications * P2P grid computing: tackling platform heterogeneity and code mobility * trends and advances in P2P application development * examples of modern P2P applications from diverse research areas * free-riding and other non-technical aspects with using P2P applications and any further topic promoting the common understanding of and research efforts in performance related issues of P2P protocols and applications. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The workshop will cover one day. Currently, it is scheduled for Thursday, 23.09. but the organizers of the Informatik 2004 event might shift it to another day of that week. Please note the following deadlines: Submission deadline: 30 April 2004 Notification about acceptance/rejection: 28 May 2004 Deadline for camera-ready version: 30 June 2004 Submissions have to be formatted according to the style guidelines of the Springer LNI series (available via www.gi-ev.de/LNI/index.html). Submissions must not exceed five pages, including figures. Please send your submission electronically and only in pdf format to: fuhrmann(a)tm.uka.de Accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings of the Informatik 2004 conference.
