-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: IWSOS 2007 Datum: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 10:36:30 +0100 Von: Patrick Wüchner <patrick.wuechner(a)UNI-PASSAU.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ====================== CALL FOR PAPERS: IWSOS 2007 ========================= New Trends in Network Architectures and Services: 2nd International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2007, http://www.iwsos.org/2007) The IWSOS 2007 workshop will be held on 11-13 September in the English Lake District, organized by the Computing Department at Lancaster University (http://www.infolab21.lancs.ac.uk). Workshop scope -------------- Future networked systems will, to some degree, need to be self-organizing. For example, they will be deployed in remote and hostile environments, where manual setup and configuration may be undesirable or impossible. Some networks, such as mobile ad-hoc networks, will be spontaneously deployed, have a dynamic population, and may be short-lived. The time it takes traditional management activities to converge, where people are in the control loop, is unsuitably long for these kinds of network. Furthermore, the potential scale and complexity of future networked systems, including the future Internet, will make some form of self-organization highly desirable and perhaps a necessity. The complexity of these networked systems will come from the heterogeneity of the devices, communication technologies and protocols, and stringent user requirements (e.g. resilience) that they will need to support. Research into self-organizing networked systems is in its infancy, and there is a multitude of open issues to be addressed. For example, self-organization will need to be implemented in a decentralized way for scalability and resilience reasons; approaches to achieve this will need to be found. The controllability and also the emergent behavior of self-organizing systems will need to be addressed. It is probable that programmable networking technologies will be needed to support the dynamic behavior of self-organizing systems; what shape this programmability will take and how it can be deployed in a safe way will need to be investigated. We should also try to understand how self-organization can play a key architectural role in the future Internet for enhanced flexibility and evolvability amongst its other desirable properties. Building on the success of its predecessor, and now only in its second year, this workshop aims to bring together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization and the means to achieve it. The key topics of the workshop include, but are not restricted to: * Self-organization and self-management * Self-configuration and self-optimization * Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing * Autonomic networking principles and practice * Networks for pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Sensor and ad-hoc networks, e.g. smart dust * Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks * Group-forming networks and techniques * Visualization of network system state * Methods for operator directed configuration and management of large, complex networks * The role of programmable networks for self-organization * Inspiring models of self-organizing in nature and society * Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home networks * Quality of Service / service level agreements and self-organization * Resilience, robustness and fault tolerance for networked systems * Security and self-organization in networked systems * Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet * Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence * Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks * Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering * Self-organization in role-based and multilevel systems * The human in the loop of self-organizing networks * Risks in self-organization, risk management techniques * The (un-)controllability of self-organizing or emergent systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline: April 16th 2007, 17:00 GMT * Notification of acceptance: June 8th 2007 * Camera-ready papers due: June 29th 2007, 17:00 GMT * Author registration deadline: July 27th 2007, 17:00 GMT Initial Submission ------------------ IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal.

Akan <akan(a)ece.gatech.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER) Special Issue on WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA SENSOR NETWORKS Submission deadline: April 30, 2007 _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have recently been the focus of a significant amount of attention and effort of the research community. The main motivation has been to address the challenges posed by the WSN paradigm, i.e., limited node power, processing, and communication capabilities, dense network deployment, multi-hop communications, and heterogeneous application-specific requirements. The vast majority of these studies applies to conventional WSN applications which need reliable and efficient communication of scalar event features and sensor data such as temperature, pressure, humidity. With the availability of low-cost small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, microphones, which may ubiquitously capture multimedia content from the field, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) have been proposed and drawn the immediate attention of the research community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems, require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video. To this end, additional challenges for energy-efficient multimedia processing and communication in WMSN, i.e., heterogeneous multimedia reliability definitions, tight QoS expectations, and high bandwidth demands, must be addressed as well. This special issue solicits papers describing the state-of-the-art, reliable and efficient multimedia processing and delivery solutions imperative for the realization of WMSN. Original contributions (previously unpublished and not currently under review) are solicited in areas including (but not limited to) the following: * Novel WMSN architectures and applications * Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming in WMSN * Energy-efficient MAC, routing, and traffic management for WMSN * Cross-layer design for effective communications in WMSN * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions for WMSN * Distributed source coding and multimedia processing in WMSN * Information fusion and multimedia aggregation in WMSN * Group and cooperative communications for multimedia delivery in sensor/actor networks * WMSN capacity modeling and theoretical analysis * Delay-tolerant networking for WMSN * Topology control, localization, synchronization, and mobility * Physical layer technologies for efficient WMSN * Secure multimedia communications in WMSN * Experimental and testbed studies of WMSN Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective Authors: Please follow Computer Networks (Elsevier) Journal format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Iscc] ACM/SIGMOBILE MOBIOPP 2007: Deadline Extension Datum: Wed, 07 Mar 2007 12:38:49 +0100 Von: Chiara Boldrini <mobiopp(a)iit.cnr.it> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO ***** MARCH 15, 2007 (11:59pm PST) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users' communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected.
