GI/ITG KuVs Fachgespräch WMAN (Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks) Fachgespräch der GI/ITG-Fachgruppe Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme Universität Ulm, 24./25.04.2008 Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen Zielsetzung: Mobile Ad-hoc Netzwerke (MANETs) stellen heute eines der aktivsten Forschungsgebiete dar. Neben der grundlegenden Organisation des Routing-Prozesses finden sich in MANETs weitere wichtige Fragestellungen wie Autokonfiguration, Sicherheit oder effizienter Nutzung von Ressourcen. Bedingt durch die beschränkten Ressourcen mobiler Kleingeraete, das Fehlen zentraler Instanzen und die hohe Dynamik von Ad-hoc Netzen lassen sich bekannte Lösungen aus dem Bereich drahtgebundener Netze nicht ohne Weiteres übertragen. Aus diesen Gründen behandelt dieses Fachgespräch die zugrundeliegenden Funktechnologien ebenso wie Fragestellungen bis zur Anwendungsschicht. Auch konkrete Anwendungsszenarien wie Fahrzeug-Fahrzeug-Kommunikation oder Unterwasser-Ad-hoc Netze sind von Interesse. Die aus vielfältigen Themenbereichen bekannten Fachgespräche der KuVs zeichnen sich durch eine kommunikative, diskussionsorientierte Atmosphäre aus, bei der auch junge Forschungsaktivitäten sowie initiale Ideen zu Herausforderungen des jeweiligen Themenkreises präsentiert werden sollen. Autoren sind eingeladen, eine Kurzfassung ihrer zur Diskussion zu stellenden Aktivitäten im Umfang von maximal 2 Seiten als PDF einzureichen (in deutscher oder englischer Sprache, Formatierung im Stil der IEEE Transactions, siehe http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html). Die endgültigen Kurzfassungen (sowie ggf. die Präsentationsfolien) sollen in einem Technischen Bericht der Universität Ulm zusammengefasst und veröffentlicht werden. Ferner ist geplant, im Anschluss an das Fachgespräch ausgewählte Beiträge zur Einreichung einer Vollversion für ein Themenheft der PIK (Praxis der Informationsverarbeitung und Kommunikation) einzuladen. Einreichungen sollen formlos per E-Mail an die drei Organisatoren geschickt werden (Termin und E-Mailadressen siehe unten). Wichtige Daten Fr 29.02.2008 - Frist für Einreichungen Mo 17.03.2008 - Benachrichtigung Do 10.04.2008 - Endgültige Fassung Do 10.04.2008 - Anmeldeschluss Do 24.04. - Fr 25.04.2008 Fachgespräch Veranstaltungsort/Genaue Zeiten Das Fachgespräch wird an der Universität Ulm stattfinden.

[Tccc] CfP: ACM SIGMOBILE MobilityModels'08 at MobiHoc'08
by Mirco Musolesi 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP. --------------------------------------------------------- MobilityModels'08 First ACM SIGMOBILE International Workshop on Mobility Models for Networking Research Colocated with ACM SIGMOBILE MobiHoc'08 Hong Kong 26 or 30 May 2008 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/mobilitymodels08/ *Scope of the Workshop* One of the key issues in the evaluation of algorithms, protocols and systems for mobile networks is modeling node mobility. Different types of models have been proposed in the last decade, from those founded on purely synthetic movements, such as the ones based on purely random movements of the nodes to the ones based aiming at reproducing the mobility patterns inside specific places like campuses or cities. In addition, efforts to collect real traces of people movement have been made and traces have been made available and used in simulators. Despite these efforts, the problem of understanding and modeling mobility, and, more specifically, human mobility remains of great interest for the mobile ad hoc networks community, as many questions are still unanswered and evaluation methodologies still unsatisfactory. New insights and more refined and realistic models are still needed, bringing together real world measurements and mathematical characterization of node mobility. These problems are of interest to anyone working on mobile networking, as these models are often at the basis of the performance evaluation, comparison, and validation of new approaches and solutions. We solicit the papers on mobility models for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on mobility characterizations based on real traces are also welcomed. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working or interested in mobility modeling and characterizations. We wish to build a lively forum to propose and discuss recent advances in mobility modeling both from theoretical and practical point of views. The workshop will be opened to contributions from researchers tackling the research problems in this area from different perspectives, with the aim of discussing the many open issues in movement modeling trying to identify novel solutions to be investigated also by means of collaborations among the participants of the workshop. We will welcome especially highly innovative and/or controversial contributions, debunking existing results or confirming existing models by means of new experimental results. Papers providing key mathematical insights on open mobility modeling issues will also be highly appreciated. We invite to submit papers in the following areas: * Design, implementation and evaluation of synthetic and trace-based mobility models * Validation of synthetic models using real world traces * Mathematical characterization of human mobility * Analysis and characterization of dynamic network topologies * Mobility and connectivity modeling * Influence of mobility on radio characterization * Complex networks models for mobility modeling * Human mobility and social networks * Impact of mobility modeling on algorithms, protocols and systems performance * Network measurements and mobility characterization * Simulation tools and testbed for mobility simulation * Systems testing based on real world mobility traces * Mobility traces collection and data archive, including privacy issues * Mobility characterizations of real traces *Submission Format* Paper submissions is limited to 8 pages (10pt ACM format). Submission instructions will be available soon on the workshop Website (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/mobilitymodels08/). The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. *Important dates* Submission deadline: 18 February 2008 Notification to the authors: 18 March 2008 Camera ready version deadline: 28 March 2008 Workshop date: 26 or 30 May 2008 *Organization* Workshop Program Chairs Minkyong Kim (IBM Watson, USA) Cecilia Mascolo (University of Cambridge, UK) Mirco Musolesi (Dartmouth College, USA) Workshop Program Committee Marcelo Dias de Amorim (LIP6/University Pierre et Marie Curie, France) Elizabeth M.

[ieeeacig] ATC-08 submission deadline extended
by ATC-08 Program Chair 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Submission deadline extended to Januray 19th! ##################### ATC-08 Call For Papers ###################### The 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing - Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality - http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/ Organized by University of Stavanger and Oslo University College, Norway Technical Sponsorship by the IEEE Task Force on Intelligent Ubiquitous Computing Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008 ################################################################### Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing dramatically in both scale and heterogeneity, becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled emergence. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-08 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-08 is a successor of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria), the 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, China), and the 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07, Hong Kong). Topics include but are not limited to the following: - AC/OC Theory and Models Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition, self-organization, emergence, etc. - AC/OC Architectures and Systems Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc. - AC/OC Components and Modules Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc. - AC/OC Communication and Services Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. - AC/OC Tools and Interfaces Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. - Trust Models and Specifications Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. - Trust-related Security and Privacy Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. - Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. - Trustworthy Services and Applications Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secured mobile services, novel applications, etc. - Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. == IMPORTANT DATES == Submission Deadline: January 19, 2008 (extended!) Authors Notification: March 05, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: April 05, 2008 == ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION == Prepare your paper according to the LNCS style (maximum 15 pages).
