International Workshop on Collaboration and Cognition in Next Generation Networks (CoNGN 2008) www.criticalnet.org/CoNGN In conjunction with CollaborateCom 2008 Orlando, Florida, November 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The rapid developments in the Internet and emerging alternative network protocol stacks promise unprecedented levels of sharing of information, computing and communication resources through distributed collaborations of diverse network elements. Collaborative networking comprises complex systems with many tunable interdependent components, parameters and network performance objectives. To realize their potential, collaborative networks need to provide effective and efficient support for ubiquitous integration of heterogeneous technologies such as mobile devices and infrastructures, web services, grid computing systems, various operating environments, and diverse COTS products. In addition, research is needed to provide network cognition, which entails learning and reasoning by the diverse network elements to dynamically select the ideal network operating state and adapt to varying network and group contexts in order to optimize end-to-end performance of the network as a whole. Moreover, networking aspects such as autonomicity, security, trust, management, quality-of-service support and localization need to be cognizant of group dynamics. Aparently, numerous challenges face the realization of collaborative networking. These challenges include balancing the competing goals of collaboration, autonomy and security; allowing mobile users and groups to seamlessly communicate throughout multiple heterogeneous networks and enjoy multiparty multimedia applications while on the move between different administrative domains; developing new APIs to enable applications to detect available access networks and learn their characteristics, thus becoming aware of location, context, and quality-of-service; and carefully optimizing network parameters across the entire protocol stack. The key goal of this workshop is to foster active interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate added momentum towards research addressing collaborative and cognitive networking aspects. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: Architectural principles for decentralized information, computing and communication resource sharing Moving networks and dynamic coalition environments Collaboration-aware network management Peer-to-peer collaborative networking Bio-inspired collaborative networking Cognitive and autonomic network protocols and services Collaborative sensor-actuator networks Policy-based management of collaborative networks Coopererative, un-cooperative, and anti-cooperative behavior characterization, identification, modeling, and impact analysis Context modelling and management in collaborative networks Network monitors, API and network discovery services Security, trust, and privacy models, frameworks, architectures, and systems for collaborative networks Security, dependability, privacy, QoS, performance, and energy awareness and trade-offs Middleware for large-scale, distributed, multi-modal collaboration Admission, delegation, accountability, and information flow control in collaborative networks Ubiquitous communication support for social networking Web services and grid technologies for supporting multidomain collaborative applications Testbeds and experimental frameworks for collaboration and cognition in network prtocol stacks General Co-Chairs Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA Silvia Geordano, University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA Program Chairs Deepa Kundur, Texas A&M University, USA Cristina Pinotti, University of Perguia, Italy M.

11th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management 1 - 5 June, 2009, New York, New York, USA "Making Management Scalable, Robust, Cost-Effective and Revenue-Generating" http://www.ieee-im.org/ The Eleventh IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) will be held on 1 - 5 June 2009 at Columbia University in New York, New York, USA. The IM series of conferences has been held in odd-numbered years since 1989 (taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS), and has established itself as the main venue for original research in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. IM 2009 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). Despite the ongoing research in the last two decades, and the great improvements in management tools and systems, integrated management of networked systems is still facing many challenges. With a continued increase in connectivity and the deployment of wireless technologies, there has been a dramatic growth in the size and complexity of networked systems at the same time that reliance upon them has increased. This dependence has highlighted the need for these systems to be reliable, secure and have predictable performance characteristics. Management mechanisms are keys to achieving these goals, but they must not add significantly to complexity and cost or the problems will be compounded. In short we need to Make Management Scalable, Robust, and Cost-effective, and to make sure it helps generate the revenue to support it. IM 2009 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share Practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, and birds-of-a-feather sessions. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services. Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the IM 2009 web site. Papers must be written in English. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions will be rejected without further review. Full papers are required for review. If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10 printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style. For samples and templates, please refer to the IM 2009 author instructions. IM 2009 covers all areas of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Topics of interest that will be given special attention include: Management Paradigms, Theories and Models - Policy and role based management - Theory (control, optimization, economic) for management - Biologically inspired management systems and techniques - Evaluation and benchmarking of management systems and technologies Role of Virtualization in network and systems management - Managing virtual resources and services - Information modeling in virtual environments Architectures, methods and Enabling Technologies - Management standards and enabling technologies - Operations and management functions - Management of emerging networks and services Service Engineering and Operational Challenges - Service design and quality assurance - Service discovery and negotiation - QoS management Organizational Aspects of IT Service Management - Process engineering and frameworks - Workflow management - Business alignment of IT service management Autonomic Computing and Self-Management - Self-repairing distributed systems - Self-adaptive e-business services - Self-organizing service deployment Important Dates * Abstract Registration: August 1, 2008 * Submission: August 8, 2008 * Notification of Acceptance: November 15, 2008 * Camera ready Copy: January 15, 2009 NOTE: 1.

CFP: 1st Workshop on Wireless Broadband Access for Communities and Rural Developing Regions
by Peter Dely 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 1st Workshop on Wireless Broadband Access for Communities and Rural Developing Regions Co-located at 1st International Conference on "M4D" - Mobile Communication Technology for Development", http://m4d.humanit.org/ December 11-12, 2008, Karlstad University, Sweden Sponsored by E-CLIC (EU-regional funds) ************************************************************************** Broadband internet access is at present available only to a small portion of the world's population, and there is a significant penetration discrepancy not only between different countries but also between different regions and areas within a given country. In addition, there is a growing interest on the local community and municipal levels to get broadband wireless access, but the number of options regarding network and service providers, as well as price and usage plans, is severely limited. However, affordable broadband for all is a key requirement to bridge the digital divide and to bring sustainable development to rural and developing regions as well as to support communities and municipalities. Today, existing technologies and plans for broadband access fail to address key challenges in terms of cost, deployment, or power consumption in order to bring broadband internet access to sparsely populated rural areas or to the masses of developing countries. While the focus of the general M4D conference is on multi-disciplinary research addressing the social, political, cultural and educational barriers to bringing ICT into developing regions, this workshop focuses on the technical and economical aspects of enabling (broadband) wireless internet access for rural and developing areas, as well as supporting communities and municipalities. The goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners and to serve as a forum for presenting and discussing state of the art research, exchanging ideas and experiences, and facilitating interaction and collaboration. Therefore, we are encouraging contributions including but not limited to topics listed below: * Cost-effective Rural, Urban and Community Wireless and Mesh Networks * Long distance and low power wireless network deployments * Power-Efficient Wireless Networks and Mobile Systems * Opportunistic Communication Paradigms * Social Networks meet Wireless * Planning and Deployment of Community and Municipality Wireless Networks * Business Models and Economics of Community and Rural Wireless Networks * Applications and Services for Communities, Cross-layer design for localized communication * Case Studies and Testbeds Submission Instructions Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of an extended abstract (maximum of 1000 words, in English) of their contribution to wireless4d(a)kau.se by no later than September 30th, 2008. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the workshop and register at regular registration rates. The submitted final written material can be in the form of either a regular conference paper (10 pages maximum, single-spaced) or in the form of a slide presentation/ poster. Accepted contributions will be part of the M4D conference proceedings either as full paper or as the extended abstract and published on this website after the conference. Participants will present their contributions as either talks (max. 20 minutes) or poster presentations Important dates Abstract submission due: September 30th 2008 Acceptance Notification: October 31st, 2008 Camera ready manuscripts due: November 15, 2008 Workshop date: December 11-12, 2008 Workshop Chair Andreas J.
