[Tccc] JSAC CFP: Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking
by Moustafa Youssef 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Our apology if you receive multiple posts of this announcement. ====================================================================== JSAC CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking Mission-Critical Networking (MCN) refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection and operation, emergency and crisis intervention, healthcare services, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity, emergent behaviors, and the need for reliable and timely response. MCN should comprise networking technology, infrastructures and services that may alleviate the risk and directly enable and enhance connectivity for mission-critical information exchange among diverse, widely-dispersed, mobile users. A primary challenge to MCN is to deploy and dynamically configure and evolve communication networks that are dependable, autonomic, secure, adaptive, and rapidly deployable to support critical missions and their priorities. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of both authorized and unauthorized entities, quality-of-service aware audio and video communication, emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, on-demand federation, and service-oriented architecture. Also important is the integration of MCN with the Internet to reduce cost of deployment and maintenance and to enhance reachability and ubiquity. This special issue of the Journal on Selected Areas in Communications solicits high quality technical contributions in mission-critical networking including, but not limited to: - Architecture and design of MCN and next-generation emergency calling and alerting - Rapidly and dynamically deployable services and networks - Evolving "elastic" networking with decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation - Federation and policy management for heterogeneous networks and protocols - Trust, security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and management for MCN - Sensor and actuator networks for critical information gathering, tracking and real-time control - MCN traffic and mobility analysis - Formal methodology for cognitive, autonomic, and context-aware protocols and network management - Spectrum management and access - Testbeds, benchmarks, performance and experimental studies ** Paper Submission Manuscripts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review. Argument justifying contribution specific to the unique features of MCN must be provided. Prospective authors should follow the IEEE JSAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors at: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to mcn-jsac(a)criticalnet.org according to the following timetable: - Manuscript submission: April 1, 2009 - First review notification: August 1, 2009 - Revised manuscript due: October 1, 2009 - Acceptance notification: November 1, 2009 - Final manuscript due: January 2, 2010 - Publication: June, 2010 ** Guest Editors - Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA - Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Switzerland - Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas, USA - Moustafa Youssef, Nile University, Egypt - Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University, USA - Mario Gerla, UCLA, USA - David Du, National Science Foundation and University of Minnesota, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call.] CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** International Workshop on Integration of the Real World and the Future Internet (RWI 2009) Marina del Rey, California, June 10, 2009, co-located with DCOSS'09 http://www.deri.ie/research/events/rwi2009 *********************************************************************** Recently, Future Internet research has attracted a lot of attention across the globe with a number of initiatives such as the Future Internet Assembly in Europe, GENI in the US and AKARI in Japan. A common theme is the requirement to adopt an all encompassing approach taking into account requirements and views from a number of angles: networking protocols, socio-economics, services, security, etc. The ubiquity of mobile devices and proliferation of wireless networks will allow everyone permanent access to the Internet at all times and all places. Trillions of heterogeneous network enabled devices such as sensors and actuators located in open space or attached to existing objects, RFID enabled items, robots and generally many heterogeneous devices with communication and computational capabilities are integrated into the fabric of the Internet, providing an accurate reflection of the real world, delivering fine-grained information and enabling almost real time interaction between the virtual world and real world. The increased computational power of these devices has the potential to empower people to generate their own applications for innovative social and cognitive activities in any situation and anywhere. This wireless connection is not limited to user devices, almost any artefact from clothing to buildings can be connected and collaborate as a network enabled device. Furthermore new sensor technologies and wireless sensor networks provide environmental intelligence and the capability to sense, reason and actuate. This leads to the exciting vision of the interconnection of artefacts embedded in our real environment, forming a society of "intelligent things" and "smart spaces" and thus making the real world "clickable". The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing the Future Internet and in particular the real world aspect of it. The workshop should serve as a place to exchange ideas between different national and regional initiatives as well as research projects and researchers. The main topics of interest include the following: * Management, scalability and heterogeneity of devices and users: how can a vast number of devices be managed and networked efficiently? Will current naming and addressing be efficient and sufficient? How does IP scale to low complexity (e.g. with the use of 6LoWPAN)? How can we integrate more data centric services on the Internet (in contrast to address centric mechanism)? In particular wireless sensor and actuator networks will be unreliable, dropping off and connecting fluently to the Internet - can we design efficient Plug and Play (PnP) mechanisms to manage these edge networks? * Networked knowledge and context - What are the means to describe this information? What are the mechanisms that we need to manage search, and interpret this knowledge (semantics). How can we integrate it with other information sources? What will be the traffic patterns that we have to deal with in addition to the commonly seen data traffic (email, web-browsing, IPTV) on the Internet and will the collective use of the Real World Internet impact these services? How can this data be modelled and represented? How can we compose new context information on the fly? * Privacy, security and trust - How to implement fast and secure cryptographic algorithms and protocols in devices highly limited in resources? How can we design usable and privacy friendly identity management tools that enable users to stay in control of their data? How can we provide anonymity, unobservability, unlinkability and pseudonymity properties? How can we anonymise data generated by individuals? How can we design transparency and feedback mechanisms that educate users and raise security and privacy awareness? How can we protect the infrastructure from adversaries carrying traffic analysis attacks on the communication system? * Impact of RWI traffic - What is the RWI traffic model(s)? What quality of service requirements the RWI applications' have for the underlying transport networks? How to serve large number of RWI traffic sources? How to reduce the network resource utilization while preserving the quality of service? The following topics in the context of the Real World Internet are also of interest: * Standardisation * Social and legal implications. * Service understanding / automatic composition and modeling e.g. ontologies Cross-layer collaboration (business systems / network services / devices) Self-sustainability (self-* features e.g. self-management, self-healing etc.) Business models - context based solutions (no one size fits all approach) Ease of use / application modeling / toolkits Infrastructure management (HW & SW set-up/maintenance etc) Devices Identification Interoperability among systems and objects Important Dates Submission deadline: April 10, 2009 Acceptance notification: April 25, 2009 Workshop: June 10 ******************************** Submission Details Papers should be submitted in PDF format via email to srdjan.krco(a)ericsson.com. Page limit is 12 and the paper should follow the IEEE Transactions Journal and conferences style (http://www.ieee.org/pubs/authors.html). All accepted papers will be published in a separate DCOSS 09 Workshops Volume, with ISBN. ******************************** Organization Committee Program Co-Chairs: Manfred Hauswirth (DERI Galway, Ireland) Mirko Presser (University of Surrey, UK) Srdjan Krco (Ericsson Ireland) Technical Program Committee (TBC) Ivan Stojmenovic (Univ. of Ottawa) David Simplot-Ryl (INRIA Lille) Sotiris Nikoletseas (CTI Patras) Nigel Baker (UWE Bristol) Takahiro Hara, (Osaka University) Curt Schurgers (UCSD) Marimuthu Palaniswami (Univ. of Melbourne) Inoue Masugi (NICT Japan) Antonio Ruzelli (UCD Dublin) Eduardo Tovar (ISEP-IPP) Karl Aberer (EPFL) Manolis Koubarakis (Univ. of Athens) Oscar Corcho (UPM) Amit Sheth (Wright) Andreas Wombacher (Univ. of Twente) Konrad Wrona (NATO C3 Agency) Theodore Zahariadis (Synelixis) Telma Mota (PT inovacao) Neeli Prasad (Aalborg University) Stefan Fischer (Univ. of Luebeck) Alex Gluhak (Ericsson Ireland) Asunción Gómez Pérez (UPM) Costas Constantinou (University of Birmingham) Richard Brooks (Clemson University) Dimitrios Serpanos (Univ. of Patras) Spyros Voulgaris (ETH Zurich) Koen Langendoen (TU Delft) Alfredo Cuzzocrea (Unical) Jan Beutel (ETH Zurich) Andreas Terzis (JHU) Veljko Milutinovic (ETF Belgrade) Slawomir Kuklinski (WUT Warsaw) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

10 Feb '09

Call for Papers Journal of Communications (JCM) Special Issue on Multimedia Communications, Networking and Applications http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_mcna.html With the advancement of multimedia signal processing/compression technology and the wide deployment of wired/wireless networks, there is an increasing demand for multimedia communication services. However, advanced multimedia processing often attempts to optimize the coding efficiency and introduces higher dependency between the processed data, resulting in a fundamental challenge to robust data communication. On the other hand, modern communication networks often exploit multi-dimensional diversity, such as user, frequency, and location, and finer granularity of resources, such as power and spectrum, for multimedia communications that have seldom been explored in multimedia signal processing. Therefore, we are facing unprecedented challenges in multimedia communications, networking, and applications. Many critical issues need to be addressed to improve the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia networks, for example, how to deploy the cross-layer design methodology that leverages the characteristics of multimedia signal processing and communication networks, how to optimize the QoS subject to available resources, and, in particular, how to allocate resources to individual nodes and sources when a network involves multiple nodes and sources of multimedia. Topics: The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of multimedia communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Cross-layer architecture design for multimedia transmission * Content/Network-aware cross-layer design and optimization * QoS-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control * Performance evaluation of cross-layer multimedia transmission design * Joint source and network coding and decoding * Cross-layer design for P2P streaming * Ad hoc and infrastructure-based overlay network communication * Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks * Distributed wireless video communications * Multimedia delivery over wireless mesh network * Noncollaborative/collaborative resource management for multi-stream transmission * Cooperative multimedia communications in multihop wireless networks * Error resilience and error concealment techniques for multimedia communications Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: May 31, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: June 30, 2009 Publication Date: September 2009 Submission: Submissions should follow the guidelines of Journal of Communications. Prospective authors should submit high quality, original manuscripts that have not appeared, nor are under consideration, in any other journals.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: GeoSensor Networks 2009, Oxford, UK Datum: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 09:38:58 +0000 Von: Andrew Markham <acmarkham(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Referenzen: <1c1bc1f60812080316n70689053o6b4c169c525d1641(a)mail.gmail.com> *** Apologies for multiple and cross posting *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS GEOSENSOR NETWORKS 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13-14 July 2009, Oxford, United Kingdom Website: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/geosensornetworks/ Sponsored by: University of Oxford Papers to be published by Springer in the "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) series. They will also be indexed electronically on SpringerLink. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Geosensor networks shift the traditional centralized paradigm of monitoring a geographical area from the macroscale to the microscale, by using distributed sensors to measure variables of interest (such as environmental, biological and chemical variables, seismic activity and geolocated videofeeds). Whilst having the ability to provide data with unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, geosensor networks have pushed the frontiers of traditional GIS research into the realms of computer science, introducing issues such as data fusion, geolocated queries, energy efficient data collection and data mining and interpretation. The incorporation of mobile devices into these networks allows data acquisition to be undertaken on a spatially varying sampling resolution, introducing new research avenues such as co-operative sensing and dynamic coverage. Furthermore, geosensor networks are not only constrained to passively monitor a region, through actuators, they also have the ability to influence or modify their environment. Research in geosensor networks spans multiple fields, ranging from strategies for intelligent data acquisition to virtual reality interactions with environmental dynamics. Of particular interest are applications of geosensor networks, such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, early warning systems and wildlife tracking. This workshop seeks to address these issues, by bringing together leading experts in a two day forum to present novel research and exchange ideas relating to the state of the art and its future directions. Real world results are particularly welcomed, as are reports of interesting or challenging deployments.
