It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * The architectural framework of personalized networks * Context awareness and support * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and accounting * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program will consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

Your contributions are more than welcome. --- Apostolis Salkintzis, //Ph.D.// Motorola E-mail: salki(a)motorola.com <mailto:salki@motorola.com> /Call for Papers/ /IEEE Communications Magazine/ Feature Topic on *Advances in Wireless VoIP* * * Beginning as a frolic among computer enthusiasts, VoIP has managed to set off a feeding frenzy in both the industrial and scientific communities and has the potential to radically change telephone communications. Wireless VoIP in particular has been one of the hottest topics lately and has gathered considerable momentum mainly due to its potential to provide new wireless telephony experiences and tight integration with Internet services. As VoIP holds considerable appeal both from the users’ and service providers’ viewpoint, and as consumers get used to more and more fixed VoIP services, the demand to migrate these services to wireless environments is ramping up quickly. However, there are still several challenges that need to be dealt with when VoIP technologies are deployed in wireless networks. Issues such as bandwidth efficiency, scheduling and QoS, handover latency / loss in heterogeneous access networks, as well as call setup delay, resource reservation and call continuity in different environments, still raise unique technical challenges associated with wireless VoIP transmission. These issues, among others, need to be effectively handled before VoIP services become widely adapted in wireless networks. For this purpose, both the industrial and scientific communities have been intensively working to address such issues and develop economically efficient wireless VoIP services. The aim of this feature topic is to report on the latest advances in wireless VoIP and cover a wide spectrum of topics related to VoIP communications over wireless networks. Original, tutorial-in-nature papers are solicited that present recent research and development findings including experimental results and performance evaluations. The key topics of interest include the following: · Emerging VoIP services in all-IP mobile networks · Efficiency of VoIP transmission over mobile radios · Handover of VoIP sessions across different radio networks · Call continuity between VoIP and traditional circuit-switched networks · Design, implementation and VoIP testbed results · QoS mechanisms tailored to VoIP transmission · Header Compression schemes · Voice codecs and silence suppression · VoWLAN architecture and core protocols · VoIP over WiMAX · Call admission control and QoS support for VoIP over wireless networks * * *Schedule:* Manuscript submission: June 15, 2007 Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2007 Final manuscripts due: November 1, 2007 Publication date: January, 2008 *Submission:* Authors must follow the /IEEE Communications Magazine's/ guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.

Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics?7 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: April 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2007 Final version due: September 5, 2007 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: F.

ACN are self-aware systems that promise clear advantages to users and network providers over previous technologies and may change the way we think about the design, management and use of communication networks. With ACN, users could benefit from reliable and dynamically adaptable communication networks with minimal effort in configuration and operation, which could in turn dramatically reduce costs of operation and management of communication infrastructures. A significant requirement for such systems is the ability to maintain a desired degree of quality of service despite their dynamic nature. ACN are novel systems and their design and study are complex activities with many challenges and open questions to be properly addressed. The workshop will encourage the interaction among researchers in the field and will promote the exchange of ideas.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Eunice 2007 - Call for papers Datum: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 12:18:37 +0100 Von: Aiko Pras <a.pras(a)utwente.nl> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers 13th EUNICE Open European Summer School and IFIP TC6.6 Workshop on Dependable and Adaptable Networks and Services July 18 – 20, 2007 University of Twente, the Netherlands http://www.ctit.utwente.nl/eunice2007 Purpose ------- The EUNICE network (http://www.eunice-forum.org/) has been created to foster the mobility of students, faculty members and research scientists working in the field of information and communication technologies and to promote educational and research cooperation between its member institutions. The main goal of the EUNICE Summer School is to give researchers and particularly Ph.D. students the opportunity to present their work at an international level. In addition to the research paper presentations, a number of tutorials or invited talks, presented by experts in the field, will be given. Call for Contributions ---------------------- One of the main challenges in the next decade will be to make the Internet and the services that are provided on top of it more dependable and adaptable. Research on these themes is needed for fixed, wireless and ad-hoc networking, ubiquitous communication and computing, sensor networks, and context-awareness. While individual mobile applications with context-aware and personalize features emerged, at the same time many challenges for network and service architectures were imposed concerning integration, interoperability, management, provisioning, reliability and security. On the one hand research has to build up a sound understanding of these applications and their supporting service and network architectures. On the other hand, the service and network infrastructure needs to be able to provide the necessary quality of service for the envisioned applications. Although the EUNICE summer school is open to researchers from any institution, we particularly invite PhD students from EUNICE member institutes and from European Network of Excellence projects in this field, such as EMANICS and Euro-NGI to contribute with original submissions. The topics of interest include: - Middleware for mobile and pervasive computing - Context awareness and personalized services - Service discovery, mediation and composition - Security, trust, access control and authorization in ubiquitous computing - Adaptive applications and architectures - Service oriented architectures, web services and semantic web - Service technologies and platforms - Service design and creation methodologies - Self-organizing networks and service infrastructures - Management models and architectures - Network and service provisioning, reliability and quality assurance - Management technologies and platforms - Wireless and mobile computing - Peer to peer networks and applications' - Ad-hoc and personal networks - Business integration and service architectures - Business-software alignment and traceability Types of Contribution and Submission Guidelines ----------------------------------------------- Regular Contributions: Authors are invited to submit original papers, which will be reviewed for presentation and publication in the proceedings of the Summer School. Submission details, including an author kit, are available at: http://www.ctit.utwente.nl/eunice2007. Tutorials: Each EUNICE member institution is cordially invited to present tutorials (approx. 75 minutes) at the Summer School. Prospective tutorial speakers are kindly asked to submit proposals covering one or more of the technical areas indicated above. The tutorial proposals should include a brief outline, a short resume, and the speaker's full postal address, phone and fax numbers, homepage and e-mail-address. Important Dates (tentative) - Submission Deadline: March 18, 2007 - Notification of Acceptance: April 27, 2007 - Camera-Ready Paper due: May 7, 2007 - Early Registration Deadline: May 15, 2007 Venue ----- The conference takes place on the campus of the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands, room WA 3 (Waaier Building).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [ACM Middleware2007] CFP: Announcing ACM/IFIP/USENIX 8th International Middleware Conference Datum: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 15:31:22 -0300 Von: Renato Cerqueira <rcerq(a)tecgraf.puc-rio.br> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ************************************************************************ ***** CALL FOR PAPERS MIDDLEWARE 2007 ACM/IFIP/USENIX 8th International Middleware Conference (approvals pending) http://2007.middleware-conference.org/ Newport Beach, Orange County, California, USA November 26th - 30th, 2007 ************************************************************************ ***** The Middleware conference is a forum for the discussion of important innovations and recent advances in the design and construction of middleware. Middleware is distributed-systems software that resides between the applications and the underlying operating systems, network protocol stacks, and hardware. Its primary role is to functionally bridge the gap between application programs and the lower-level hardware and software infrastructure in order to coordinate how application components are connected and how they interoperate. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 8th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research and technology in 2007. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed system platforms and architectures for future computing and communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality technical program, invited speakers, poster and demo presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops. Submissions on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly ones that identify new research directions. Middleware 2007 is not limited to topics discussed in previous Middleware conferences. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic may communicate by electronic mail with the program chairs prior to submission. The proceedings of Middleware 2007 will be published as a Springer-Verlag volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. Topics ------ The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: Platforms and Architectures: * Middleware for Web services and Web-service composition * Middleware for cluster and grid computing * Peer-to-peer middleware solutions * Event-based, publish/subscribe, and message-oriented middleware * Communication protocols and architectures * Middleware for ubiquitous and mobile computing * Middleware for embedded systems and sensor networks * Service-oriented architectures * Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective middleware approaches Systems issues: * Reliability, fault tolerance, and quality-of-service in general * Scalability of middleware: replication and caching * Systems management, including solutions for autonomic and self- managing middleware * Middleware feedback control solutions for self-regulation * Real-time solutions for middleware platforms * Information assurance and security * Evaluation techniques for middleware solutions * Middleware support for multimedia streaming * Middleware solutions for (large scale) distributed databases Design principles and tools: * Formal methods and tools for designing, verifying, and evaluating middleware * Model-driven architectures * Software engineering for middleware * Engineering principles and approaches for middleware * Novel development paradigms, APIs, and languages * Existing paradigms revisited: object models, aspect orientation, etc. * On-the-fly management and configuration of middleware Organization ------------ General Chair: Nalini Venkatasubramanian (University of California at Irvine, USA) Program Chairs: Roy Campbell (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, USA) Renato Cerqueira (PUC-Rio, Brazil) Workshops Chair: TBA Doctoral Symposium Chair: TBA Poster and Demo Chair: Valerie Issarny (INRIA, France) Industry Track Chair: Guruduth Banavar (IBM India Research Lab, India) Publicity Chair: Shivajit Mohapatra (Motorola Labs, USA) Publicity in Europe: Paolo Bellavista (Università degli Studi di Bologna, Italy) Local Arrangements Chair: Ray Klefstad (University of California at Irvine, USA) Local Arrangements Committee: Nalini Venkatasubramanian (University of California at Irvine, USA) Ray Klefstad (University of California at Irvine, USA) Sharad Mehrotra (University of California at Irvine, USA) Vana Kalogeraki (University of California at Irvine, USA) Deborah Nielsen (OCTANE@UCI, USA) Shellie Nazarenus (Calit2, USA) Program Committee ----------------- Gustavo Alonso (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Cristiana Amza (University of Toronto, Canada) Jean Bacon (Cambridge University, UK) Guruduth Banavar (IBM India Research Lab, India) Alberto Bartoli (University of Trieste, Italy) John Barton (IBM Almadem, USA) Christian Becker (University of Mannheim, Germany) Yolande Berbers (Leuven University, Belgium) Gordon Blair (Lancaster University, UK) Jean-Pierre Briot (Paris 6, France) Andrew Campbell (Columbia University, USA) Walfredo Cirne (Google, USA) Clem Cole (USENIX, USA) Paolo Costa (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands) Geoff Coulson (Lancaster University, UK) Jan de Meer (SmartSpaceLab, Germany) Fred Douglis (IBM Watson, USA) Naranker Dulay (Imperial College, UK) Markus Endler (PUC-Rio, Brazil) Pascal Felber (University of Neufchatel, Switzerland) Paulo Ferreira (INESC ID / Tech.
