-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ISCC06] SIUMI cfp (within IEEE ICDCS'06) Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2005 19:04:08 +0100 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 2nd International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2006 In conjunction with the 26th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'06) Lisbon, Portugal, July 4th, 2006 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'06 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations After the encouraging answer to the first edition, this second workshop intends to offer a renovated opportunity of putting together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2006 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site ( http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/), which will be soon available.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Cost290] CfP IWSOS 2006 Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2005 20:56:56 +0200 From: Yevgeni Koucheryavy <yk(a)cs.tut.fi> To: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi Please apologize in case you receive multiple copies. New Trends in Network Architectures and Services: International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2006) September 18 - 20, 2006 University of Passau, Germany http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/iwsos Prospective technical co-sponsors: EuroNGI, IFIP, IEEE, ACM, GI, IEE, IEICE, KICS Overview: The evolution of the Internet reveals surprising turns and obstacles. Centralized approaches of introducing new services and architectures consistently failed to materialize at large scale. Quality of Service, group communication, or mobility support are only some examples for the difficulty with orchestrated approaches. The success story of the Internet, on the other hand, is strongly linked to decentralization. Robustness to failures or flexibility in introducing new applications such as the World Wide Web or Peer-to-Peer systems have been key momentum to technological advancements and economics. Future networks are envisioned to be highly complex and difficult to manage due to heterogeneity of networks, spontaneous set-up of networks, and the envisioned number of interconnected devices, appliances, and artifacts. The question that poses itself is whether self-organization can be exploited to a larger scale for solving some of the pending problems for such future networks. Self-organization may even play a key architectural role of the future Internet for enhanced flexibility and evolvability. It is the goal of this workshop to bring together leading international and multi-disciplinary researchers to create a visionary forum for inves- tigating the potentials in self-organization and the means to achieve it. Key Note Speaker: * A Panel on "Would self-organized or self-managed networks lead to a better networking world?" * A Works in Progress Session focusing on emerging research * Industrial exhibitions and demonstrations Important Dates: * Paper abstract deadline: March 23rd 2006, 11:59pm CET * Paper submission deadline: April 1st 2006, 11:59pm CET * Notification of acceptance: May 15th 2006 * Camera-ready papers due: June 15th 2006, 11:59pm CET * Author registration deadline: June 15th 2006, 11:59 CET * Early registration deadline: August 1st, 2006 * Hotel reservation cut-off date: August 15th, 2006 * Workshop dates: September 18th - 20th 2006 * Workshop reception and welcome party: September 17th 2006 Steering Committee: * Hermann de Meer, University of Passau, Germany * David Hutchison, Lancaster University, UK * Bernhard Plattner, ETH Zurich, Switzerland * James Sterbenz, University of Kansas, USA Program Chairs: * Hermann De Meer University of Passau Passau, Germany * James Sterbenz University of Kansas Lawrence, KS, USA _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290

Clarke- Science Fiction Author The emergence of, and progress in, Portable Information Devices (PIDs) have revolutionized the telecommunications, information engineering, and entertainment systems of this decade and have become an essential part of our everyday life and business culture. PIDs allow vastly enhanced lifestyles from basics like reading, taking notes, or listening to music, to crunching numbers, watching video, and keeping up with news and sports events on the go. Today’s PIDs include cellular phones, palm-sized personal digital assistants, medical devices, intelligent clothing, iPODs, and others. Some devices have built-in organizers for to-do and shopping lists, scheduling and appointments, phone numbers, address book, customer contacts, even games, and video display. Both hardware and software are equally important in the design, use and reliability of these devices which should be easy to handle and operate, and last for a long time. PORTABLE 2007 will bring together electrical, materials, mechanical, optical, reliability, industrial and manufacturing engineers and business leaders involved or interested in various types of PIDs, and address and discuss the state-of-the-art, challenges, attributes and pitfalls in PID related areas of engineering and applied science, with an emphasis on the interaction of the hardware and software in the PIDs, as well as on their functional and physical (mechanical) performance, reliability and durability.

Almeroth <almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu The submission date is less than a week away... ---------------------------------------------------------- The Second International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurement (WiNMee) (co-located with WiOpt) April 3, 2006 Boston, Massachusetts, USA http://www.winmee.org/ WiNMee 2006 will be the second international workshop on Wireless Network Measurement. The first workshop, WiNMee 2005, was held in Lago di Gardi, Italy, and was highly successful with 32 submissions and 13 accepted papers. This year we hope to build on the success of last year by bringing researchers together to discuss the next generation of wireless network measurement research. Wireless networking has attracted much recent interest. Nonetheless, performance evaluation of wireless protocols, networks, and applications are still largely based on simulations. Only recently have researchers turned their attention to measuring real-world networks; building models based on real-world data, and using testbeds to more realistically evaluate their proposed ideas. Accurate network measurements have proven to be a different and a greater challenge than in wired networks. Accurate data models that reflect the unique characteristics of wireless networks have also proven to be more of a challenge. Wireless network testbeds have proven to be yet another difficult environments in which to work due to the many unique properties of the wireless medium. For example, results in wireless testbeds are often difficult to reproduce due to performance variations caused by location, weather, time of day, and other uncontrollable external variables. Testbeds are also challenging because implementing novel solutions often requires significant changes to the network as well as careful observation and measurement. The committee for WiNMee 2006 is soliciting 6 page papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments, either in testbeds or in the field. Topics include: * Operational experience on the performance of wireless networks * Challenges with wireless measurements * Experimental (in)validation of assumptions in a wireless environments * Metrics for wireless network for performance evaluation * Wireless network troubleshooting techniques and recommendations * Experience with building/designing wireless networks * Description of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds * Techniques for testbed scaling * Techniques for improving experiment repeatability * Techniques for validating results obtained from wireless testbeds * Methods for simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Mobility pattern implementation Important Dates Submission deadline: December 4, 2005 Notification deadline: January 26, 2006 Camera-ready due: February 26, 2006 Workshop: April 3, 2006 Submission Instructions Submitted papers should not exceed 6 pages in length and should be formatted in two columns with a point size greater or equal to 10.
