This pervaded world has generated new communication paradigms: autonomic and opportunistic communications. Communication among devices in a pervasive environment can happen if the devices can communicate autonomously, and manage their own evolution and configuration changes in the network, without explicit user or administrator action. In a pervasive world, even in the absence of any connectivity infrastructure mobile devices can communicate using the connection "opportunities" that arise due to mobility. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks Adaptive security for self protection of networks Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic and opportunistic communications Mobility models for opportunistic networking Novel management techniques for autonomic and opportunistic communications Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.

These heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes, restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn, mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing, and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the complexity of these ambitious wireless systems. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of extreme importance to bridge the communication technologies with biological sciences and capture the analogy between these two distinct disciplines. To this end, solution strategies inspired by the biological systems have been recently proposed to address the challenges of many computing and communication systems. This special issue is dedicated to capture the state-of-the-art and the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools * Biological and bio-inspired computing, data processing algorithms * Joint bio-inspired data processing and communication * Embryonics-based fault-tolerant computing and communication * Bio-inspired network and communication algorithms and protocols * Novel applications and services inspired by biological systems * Experimental studies of bio-inspired computing and communications * Bio-inspired topology control and network reconfiguration methods * Bio-inspired localization, synchronization, mobility approaches * Evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols * Immune and self-healing network defense and information security * Bio-inspired nano-scale and molecular computing and communication * Bio-inspired distributed control and sensing of networked wearable and implantable medical devices Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective authors:Please submit the PDF of your paper, biographies and photos of the co-authors to http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc and choose Special Issue: Bio-Inspired Computing as the Article Type.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers/Abstracts IEEE INFOCOM 2007 High-Speed Networks Workshop (Anchorage, AL, May 11, 2007) Datum: Mon, 4 Dec 2006 09:29:02 -0600 Von: Byrav Ramamurthy <byrav(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE INFOCOM 2007 HIGH-SPEED NETWORKS WORKSHOP Anchorage, Alaska, May 11th, 2007 http://iweb.tntech.edu/nghani/infocom/index.htm Sponsored by ------------ United States Department of Energy, Office of Science Technical Co-Sponsorship by --------------------------- IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking (TCHSN) IEEE ComSoc Optical Networking Technical Committee (ONTC) Several e-Science applications have already demonstrated the need for agile networks operating well beyond 100 Gbps. Moreover, current trends point towards the need for a sustained terabits/sec end-to-end throughput and unprecedented levels of scalability to accommodate the requirements of emerging applications in a broad range of domains, including entertainment, computational monitoring and steering, multi-scale simulation and combustion modeling, remote instrumentation, and network-based visualization. Several attempts have been made to address emergent bandwidth needs by deploying larger capacities in the network core. Increasing physical-layer transmission speeds, however, has not yielded dramatic increases in end-to-end user-level throughputs. Moreover, the limitations of current network protocols and traffic engineering frameworks have proven to be a serious impediment to large-scale deployment of distributed bandwidth-intensive applications. To overcome these limitations, there is a critical need for novel "clean-state" approaches which transcend the traditional methodologies, network architectures and protocols used today . This workshop is designed to provide a unique forum to explore new frontiers in the area of ultra high-speed and high-performance networks, not constrained by the features and limitations of current networks, with a particular focus on enabling large-scale distributed e-Science applications. The objective is to facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas among members research community centered on the design, validation and deployment of ultra-high speed network architectures and protocols to support the end-to-end requirements of bandwidth-intensive applications in a transparent and optimal manner. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, include: Innovative "clean-slate" network architectures for next generation ultra-high speed networks Switching technologies including packet, burst and circuit switching Ultra high-speed transport protocols Novel approaches and strategies for highly secure ultra-high speed networks, protocols and systems Dynamic provisioning in ultra high-speed optical networks Control and signaling plane technologies (GMPLS, UNI, NNI, etc.) Application optimized network middleware Novel protocols and mechanisms for large-volume data transfers over long distances High-speed I/O and storage systems Remote visualizations and instrumentation design and tools Remote computational monitoring and steering tools and mechanisms Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract in PDF format. All abstract submissions should be emailed to the TPC co-chairs at nghani(a)tntech.edu and byrav(a)cse.unl.edu and will be acknowledged. Authors will be notified about the selected abstracts and requested to provide final presentation slides and extended paper versions (up to 5 pages in length). These materials will be compiled on to CD format in advance of the event and distributed to the registered attendees. Additionally, the extended papers will also be published in the IEEE Xplore listings.
