-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] [SIGMM] CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (WiNMee) 2011 Datum: Fri, 5 Nov 2010 08:08:59 +0100 Von: Muriel Bardet <muriel.bardet(a)EPFL.CH> Antwort an: Muriel Bardet <muriel.bardet(a)EPFL.CH> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (WiNMee) 2011 (in conjunction with WiOpt 11) http://winmee2011.epfl.ch/ May 9, 2011 - Princeton, USA ====================================================================== Submission Deadline: January 5th, 2011 Notification of acceptance: March 1st, 2011 The rise in wireless technologies for both local and wide-area networking, such as ZigBee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 3G and LTE, means that the Internet is increasingly wireless. Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the next years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We are looking forward to meeting you !

Fwd: [Tccc] 3rd CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 3rd CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization Datum: Wed, 03 Nov 2010 23:30:04 +0100 Von: Roland Bless <roland.bless(a)kit.edu> Organisation: Institute of Telematics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Hi, ** Extended Deadline November, 7th 2010! ** =============================================================== KIVS 2011 – NV Workshop Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization =============================================================== See http://tm.kit.edu/NV2011 for latest information. Network Virtualization (NV) is becoming an increasingly important technology for the deployment of new network architectures that try to go beyond the Internet’s current capabilities. Virtualization of whole networks allows for increased flexibility with respect to resource management as well as for an efficient deployment of different network architectures in parallel but isolated from each other (e.g., coexistence of 3G and different beyond 3G mobile networks on the same physical hardware). While some virtualization techniques are well known for links (e.g., VLANs, MPLS, Tunneling, VPNs, and so on) the challenges lie more in virtualization of network nodes, whole networks, and an efficient management thereof. Accordingly, network virtualization has received significant attention in the network research community, but it is a field that is just beginning to be understood; recently an IRTF research group has been formed for this topic. The current technological challenges and solutions for network virtualization are of interest in this workshop. In addition, major drivers for the success of network virtualization are the considered use cases that can be used to derive important requirements for NV architectures. Network virtualization allows providing specialized, dependable, and predictable networks (e.g., a global IP-TV network, a safe kids’ network or a banking network) and also supports network resource scalability, thereby reducing time and overhead required for an introduction of new services (e.g., starting small scale deployments that can grow fast if the service is becoming more mature and popular). The definition of such use cases helps to design and evaluate (technically and economically) NV solutions. The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent investigation on architectural and design issues as well as related implementation, experimentation, or simulation efforts towards realization of network virtualization for the future Internet. A particular focus lies on use cases for network virtualization. Original papers not under consideration of another conference, workshop or journal are encouraged to submit via Conftool (https://www.conftool.com/kivs11/). Submissions should be written in English, adhere to the eceasst format (special KIVS Workshop template for LaTeX and Word are provided), and comprise no more than 12 pages in total in this format. Accepted papers will be published in the Open-Access-Journal Electronic Communications of the EASST. Topics of interest for submissions include, but are not limited to: • Solutions and drivers • Virtualization technologies, platforms, and architectures • Use cases, applications and services enabled by NV • Business considerations and economic aspects • Network virtualization in data centers • Mobile virtual network operators • Control plane and management plane mechanisms for virtual networks • Resource allocation for co-existing networks • Radio access network sharing • Monitoring in virtualized environments, e.g. QoE or energy consumption • Network virtualization for energy efficiency • Isolation, performance and security Important Dates: ================ • 07.
