Nonetheless, their performance evaluation and analysis have been conducted mostly through software simulations (e.g. using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Very recently, some research efforts have been directed towards measuring real-world commercial and experimental networks; constructing models based on real-world data and using prototypes to more realistically and comprehensively evaluate the suggested solutions and more specifically validate the assumptions and the conclusions reached via the simulation approach. The monitoring, measurements, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks poses a new set of unique challenges due to the unique inherent properties of these systems and due to the characteristics of the wireless transmission medium. The aim of this workshop, whose 1st edition was held in 2006 in Torremolinos (Spain), is to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of performance measurements, monitoring, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks, including, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks.

Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * LOCAN 2007 * * * * The 3rd International Workshop on Localized Communication * * and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks * * http://ants.dif.um.es/locan2007 * * * * In conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on * * Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems, MASS 2007 * * http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007 * * Pisa, Italy, October 8 - 12, 2006 * * * * Extended Submission Deadline: May 31, 2007 * *********************************************************************** SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas (for example, a multi-disciplinary program on sensors and sensor networks was launched in 2003 at the US National Science Foundation) and research activities are booming recently. This workshop concentrates on network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting * Geocasting and anycasting * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Sensor area coverage problems * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: May 31, 2007 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2007 Workshop Date: October 12, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE network special issue on "Internet Scalability: Properties and Evolution" (submission deadline: June 15th 2007) Datum: Sun, 20 May 2007 13:30:24 +0200 Von: <S.P.W.G.Uhlig(a)ewi.tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Call for papers *************** Special issue of IEEE Network Magazine on ******************************************* Internet Scalability: Properties and Evolution ********************************************* The modern Internet is a large-scale distributed system composed of many complex, interoperating sub-systems: traffic, topology, routing, addressing, etc. With its continued growth, the scaling of these different sub-systems becomes an increasingly important issue, as does the nature of the complex interactions between them. A detailed investigation/study of these interactions is crucial to foresee the future of the Internet, and ensure its smooth evolution. The current Internet architecture suffers from scalability problems caused by a number of factors. Growth in traffic and topological size, multi-homing, and interdomain routing dynamics are some examples of factors stressing the current infrastructure. Trends in multi-homing that might impact the behavior of the traffic depend on the evolution of addressing, like the deployment and use of IPv6, or nodes mobility. The way business relationships are defined between domains affects the spread of routing information, and in turn the flow of the traffic. Applications determine between which hosts traffic is exchanged. Understanding any of these aspects requires understanding the relationships between all of them. To add to this confusion, it is now understood that different subsystems of the Internet depend on each other in unexpected ways. For instance, traffic surges due to worm attacks are able to partially disrupt routing. By studying the large-scale properties of the Internet (as opposed to the behavior of isolated sub-systems), we will better understand the issues that are of significant importance for its future. Scope of special issue: *********************** The goal of this special issue is to discuss all aspects that have an impact on the large-scale behavior of the Internet, with a focus on their interactions. To properly understand how the Internet will evolve, we believe that a global systemic view of the Internet is necessary. Submitted papers should thus bring significant insight into how different aspects of the Internet impact its global behavior. The purpose of this special issue of IEEE network magazine is to publish both state-of-the-art and prospective papers on the properties and the evolution of Internet scalability. Papers describing original research results, surveys or prospective papers should be written in a tutorial manner and be readable by non-specialists. Overly analytical papers are not welcome. Instead, contributions must focus on giving insight into the global Internet behavior without getting into unnecessary mathematical formalism. Topics of interest include: ************************** * Analysis and evolution of the control plane, including routing, naming (DNS), and addressing * Trends and perspectives in multi-homing * Evolution of business relationships between autonomous systems * Interactions between topology, routing and traffic * Global performance of control and data planes, as well as performance measurement methodologies * Impact of Internet-wide security risks (unwanted traffic, attacks against the routing and naming) on Internet robustness * Future of Internet services, QoS, fairness and network neutrality * Emerging applications (e.g. bandwidth-intensive, requiring strict QoS guarantees, etc) and their impact on global traffic Manuscript submission Authors must submit their manuscript (single column, double-spaced) electronically in PDF format by email to Steve Uhlig (S.P.W.G.Uhlig(a)ewi.tudelft.nl) before the deadline. The manuscript should be written in single column, double-spaced, in accordance to the guidelines of the IEEE network magazine (http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/). Please also include information about the manuscript (title, complete list of authors, corresponding author's contact, abstract, and keywords) in the body of your submission email message. Important dates: ***************** * Submission deadline: June 15th 2007 * Notification of acceptance: October 2007 * Final version manuscript to the publisher: December 1st, 2007 * Publication: 1st Quarter 2008 Guest editors: ************** Dr. Matthew Roughan University of Adelaide, Australia School of Mathematical Sciences SA 5005 AUSTRALIA E-mail: matthew.roughan(a)adelaide.edu.au Dr. Steve Uhlig Delft University of Technology Network Architectures and Services 4 Mekelweg CD 2628 Delft THE NETHERLANDS E-mail: S.P.W.G.Uhlig(a)ewi.tudelft.nl Dr. Walter Willinger AT&T Research Labs 180 Park Avenue Florham Park, NJ USA E-mail: walter(a)research.att.com _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

The single-track MMNS conference will provide participants with a high quality and intimate setting for discussion and debate. The conference is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). SCOPE OF MMNS 2007 MMNS has established itself as a premier conference for research and innovation in management of multimedia technology and networked services. The scope of the conference has been expanded in recent years to include management of emerging mobile and wireless networks. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from academia and industry interested in state-of-the-art management of multimedia systems over mobile wireless networks, while creating a public venue for results dissemination and intellectual collaboration. Multimedia real-time services are expected to be among the most important applications of next generation mobile wireless networks such as the forthcoming 4G networks. Efficient management of these services is a key ingredient in the effort to provide cost effective, innovative services that are likely to become a major source of income both for the network and content providers. The need to evolve management tools and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobility and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, data/voice convergence, and the integration of computing and communications in all devices. The academic and industry research communities should unify forces to address the challenges of developing and operating such services. Inevitably, management is a key element in addressing this challenge. Autonomous services and the service-oriented architecture are emerging concepts that can enable efficient management of resources in these complex systems. The MMNS 2007 technical program committee is soliciting research papers in the broad area of network and service management and new models, architectures and designs in technology and services to enable multimedia and mobility proliferation in next generation mobile and wireless networks.
