This ubiquitous intelligence will change the computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and systems to be developed and the realm of computing possibilities will be significantly extended. By enhancing everyday objects with intelligence, many tasks and processes could be simplified, the physical spaces where people interact like the workplaces and homes, could become more efficient, safer and more enjoyable. Ubiquitous computing, or pervasive computing, uses these many "smart things/u-things" to create smart environments. A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Research on ubiquitous intelligence is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the current level of computing services to the smart world of adaptive and intelligent services.

CALL FOR PAPERS For the reliable performance evaluation of wireless networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages in ACM conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the SCENES website.

From a number of angles it appears that we have reached a point in the impressive development cycle of the Internet that now requires some major change. However, research and development in these areas is still at an early stage and the space of potential solutions is far from being explored. The International Workshop on the Network of the Future (Future-Net 09) is a platform for both clean-slate as well as evolutionary approaches for a redesign of the Internet. It will uniquely bring together approaches driven from mobile and wireless demands, network virtualization, network self-management, content and sensor networking and discuss these from both a technical as well as socio-economic perspective. Topics of Interest: We solicit contributions that report early results addressing research challenges in topics related to the network of the future. Particularly, we want to identify and address issues with a high potential for significant impacts on the way the network is functioning and being used. The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners but fresh ideas in the form of early results, position papers and systems papers are particularly welcome. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: - Alternatives to established technologies such as routing - Re-design and re-evaluation of today's architectural principles - End-to-end virtualization of the network - Technology to introduce vital but missing functionality - Self-management of network services - New media-aware transport services - New approaches to network security - Mechanisms to interconnect extremely heterogeneous edge networks - Technology based on new communication paradigms - Wide-scale Internets of Things - Machine-to-machine networking - Socio-economic for the future Internet - Business models for the Internet of Things - Business drivers for radical changes in the network - Regulatory frameworks for a new networking layer Paper Submission Guidelines: All papers will be reviewed by our international program committee. The guidelines follow ICC requirements which can be found here http://www.ieee-icc.org/2009/cfp_submission_proc.html. For submission instructions please see our website http://www.future-network09.org/cfp.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: EvoCOMNET'09, 6th European Workshop on Nature-inspired techniques for Telecommunications and other Parallel and Distributed Systems Datum: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:19:18 +0200 Von: Gianni Di Caro <gianni(a)idsia.ch> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers *** EvoCOMNET 2009 *** 6th European Workshop on Nature-inspired Techniques for Telecommunications Networks and other Parallel and Distributed Systems * Tubingen, Germany, April 15-17, 2009 * --------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: 5 November 2008 Notification of acceptance: 9 January 2009 Camera ready papers: 21 January 2009 --------------------------------------------- http://evostar.na.icar.cnr.it/EvoWorkshops/EvoCOMNET/EvoCOMNET.html -- Part of the EVOSTAR 2009 events: http://www.evostar.org -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Many biological systems and processes are characterized by a parallel and distributed architecture in which a large number of autonomous and minimalist units synergistically generate global-level behaviors through local interactions, communications, and the adoption of relatively simple stochastic action policies. The resulting global-level behaviors usually show a number of properties essential for success in natural environments such as: adaptivity to environmental variations, robustness to internal changes and failures, and effectiveness and scalability of performance. Because of all these architectural and performance properties, the observation and reverse-engineering of successful processes in organic, inorganic, and animal systems in nature, has drawn in recent years the attention of many researchers and engineers working in the fields of parallel and distributed systems, and, more in particular, in telecommunications networks. In these domains, nature has provided basic inspiration for the definition of a number of novel algorithms and computational frameworks able to deal effectively with the challenges of current networked systems, which show a growing structural and computational complexity and are made of a large number of highly dynamic and heterogeneous components. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum to present cutting edge research on nature-inspired approaches to problems arising in the design, control, protection, and management of network systems, and to outline new trends in parallel nature-inspired computation for the solution of complex problems. EvoCOMNET is part of EVOSTAR (EVO*), Europe's premier co-located events in the field of evolutionary and nature-inspired computing. EVO* includes the EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoBIO conferences and a number of workshops collectively entitled EvoWorkshops. EVO* 2009 is the 11th edition of the event, details and cfps can be found at: http://www.evostar.org --------------------------- SELECTED TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------- EvoCOMNET 2009 solicits contributions dealing with the application of ideas from natural processes and systems to the definition, analysis, and development of novel parallel and distributed algorithms, and to the solution of problems of practical and theoretical interest in all domains related to network systems.
