During the last years, the wide-scale deployment of wireless access and the emerging of new access technologies, such as 802.16, Beyond 3G cellular packet systems, and Wireless Mesh Networks, as well as the ever-increasing popularity of applications requiring Quality of Service (QoS), such as Voice over IP and video streaming, have made the thorough and sound assessment of QoS a challenging but indispensable task for the evolution towards a future Internet. Furthermore, emerging user-centric and service-oriented network paradigms require new definitions of QoS and service attributes, closer to the user perception, as well as new simulation models to assess them. Last, but not least, new research directions in networking architectures, advocating a long-term disruptive or “clean slate” (re-)design of the Internet, also demand new simulation tools and techniques to prove the feasibility and assess the performance of the proposed solutions. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic and industry researchers and practitioners from both the networking and the simulation communities to discuss current and future trends in simulation techniques, models and practices for the Future Internet and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Emerging access technologies (Wi-Max, 3.5G, Wireless Mesh Networks, 802.11x, etc.) * Disruptive network paradigms (bio-inspired, autonomic, opportunistic networking, etc.) * Multi-layer network architectures * Cross-layer simulation * Hybrid Simulation * End-to-end simulation of heterogeneous, mobile and multi-domain networks * Fluid-flow simulation for assessing QoS in large scale networks * New and emerging services and applications * QoS negotiation, service chain negotiation and Service Level Agreements * QoS components (scheduling algorithms, admission control schemes, QoS routing and traffic engineering schemes, etc.) * Scalability analysis * Traffic modeling * Tradeoffs between Security and QoS * QoS applications in extreme situation (e.g. in a network under attack or catastrophes) We solicit submission of manuscripts that present original research results, not previously published nor currently under review by another conference or journal. All submitted papers will go through a rigorous peer review process. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness by the technical program committee. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be printed in the proceedings and made available online. Authors are invited to submit PDF versions of full papers of up to 8 pages in ACM conference proceedings format, i.e. two-column pages in a font no smaller than 10-points. Submissions will be handled electronically through EasyChair.

Opportunistic networks are commonly defined as a type of challenged networks where communication opportunities are based on sporadic and intermittent contacts, disconnections and re-connections may frequently occur, and the assumption on the existence of an end-to-end path between the source and the destination is released. As compared to the legacy MANETs, where an always-connected infrastructure-less network is assumed, opportunistic networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, where devices (with sensing capabilities) are carried while users move, and can connect and disconnect continuously relying their communication chances on a store-carry-and-forward approach. The aim of MobiOpp 2010 is to bring together researchers working in this emerging area, thus also providing a reference event for those working on self-organizing wireless mobile networks which usually exploit the opportunistic communication paradigm. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to all aspects of opportunistic networks. Original contributions are solicited, being related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas of Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel architectures * Routing protocols * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques * Dissemination and replication techniques * Opportunistic networking in P2P systems * Social-aware opportunisitc networking * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networking applications * Opportunistic networking in wireless sensor networks * Multimodal urban sensing * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication in the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier) Important dates -------------------- Papers submission deadline: November 11, 2009 (extended deadline) Acceptance Notification: December 22, 2009 Camera Ready deadline: January 22, 2010 Workshop dates: February 22-23, 2010 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair Sergio Palazzo, University of Catania, Italy Program Co-Chairs Tracy Camp, Colorado School of Mines, USA Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Italy Steering Committee Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Italy Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Serge Fdida, Univ.

[Tccc] Due Date Extension: Call for Papers - IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Biologically Inspired Networking
by Dinesh Verma 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Dear Colleagues, Due to multiple requests, we are extending the deadline for paper submission to the special issue by a month to December 1, 2009. In order for us to begin the review process, we would appreciate getting the title and abstract of the intended submission earlier if feasible. We request you to submit any relevant work to this special issue of IEEE Network Magazine. Apologies for any duplicate postings. ==================================== Call For Papers: IEEE Network Magazine, Special Issues on "Biologically Inspired Networking" URL: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/cfp/cfpnetwork0510.html Guest Editors: Dinesh Verma, IBM (dverma(a)us.ibm.com) Pietro Lio, University of Cambridge (pietro.lio(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) Scope: Computer Networks deployed in the field today lack many of the features which are demonstrated in the operation and mechanisms of biological networks. Some examples of features where biological networks have an advantage include their ability to maintain homeostatic environments, adapt rapidly to environmental changes, self-organize, assemble simple structures into complex tasks, autonomous operations, self-replication, protection against attacks of various natures, etc. While computer networking has many features which perform better than any biological system, it is a reasonable proposition that application of biologically inspired techniques to computing systems and networks will improve on the current state of the art in computer networks. This special issue is focused on highlighting approaches for designing computer networks that are biologically inspired, and which show an improvement in some aspect of the current state of computer networking. The goal is to develop techniques that improve the adaptability, scalability and autonomicity of comptuer networks. We welcome papers that provide new architectures and insights, real-world experience in building biological systems, theoretical advances in biological networks, and any other area of bio-inspired improvements to computer networks.
