(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011) (http://mocs.deis.unibo.it) June 28th, 2011 Kerkyra (Corfu), Greece organized in association with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2011) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2011) Sponsored by (pending approval) IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The ambition and mission of MoCS 2011 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green computing solutions over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade- offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: 28 February 2011 Notification of paper acceptance: 28 March 2011 Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2011 Workshop date: 28 June 2011 Paper submission Papers should be written in English.

Mobile applications are rapidly developing and becoming more and more important. They consist of software that runs on a smart phone or tablet and perform certain tasks for the user of the cellular phone. In this way, the user can use the application in its personal situation and can take advantage of the mobile phone’s capabilities, such as the camera, positioning and navigation or network access. Now, mobile devices are becoming even smarter. They are computer networked and user reconfigurable. A device can be seen as part of a cloud or operate autonomously. It is a device, that consists of CPU, storage and network access and has the intelligence to perform services both reactive and proactive. It can also be seen as a part of a smart environment, i.e. interact with a physical world consisting of sensors and actuators, displays and computational elementsthat are connected through a continuous network. Currently, smartphones with more advanced computing capabilities and connectivity than classic mobile phones offer more functionalities and run smarter applications. Mobile platforms comprise an increasing number of different sensors such as photosensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes etc, thus allowing sophisticated contextualized applications. In addition, users as well as developers benefit from an increasing number of market places and online stores for mobile applications. The concept of a mobile "app" that can be purchased via centralized hubs is already very common among the growing number of users. Specifically, we solicit original research contributions in the following areas: ·App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms ·Context-Matching, Context-Aggregation and Reasoning ·Applications of Artificial Intelligence to MobileApplications ·Mobile Social Networks ·Ensuring Privacy and Security for EnterpriseApplications ·Cross-Platform Software Design and Development Workshop Chairs: Claudia Linnhoff-Popien (LMU Munich, Germany) Stephan Verclas (T-Systems International GmbH, Germany) Workshop Organisation: Martin Werner (LMU Munich, Germany) Program Committee: Eduard Babulak, CORDIS, European Commission Iain Bate, University of York, United Kingdom Shuvra S.

URL: http://www.iet.ntnu.no/~jgding/<http://www.iet.ntnu.no/%7Ejgding/> *Subject and Purpose of the Workshop* We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which make it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time the physical environment. Ensuring high connectivity within the network is vital for real applications. Moreover, for many applications, sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed values instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile network infrastructures, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. The integration of RFID and WSN is one of the most promising technologies that will play an important role in emerging the Internet of the Things (IoT). For example, in a healthcare application, RFID tags can be used to track the elders whereas the sensors are used to monitor the elders’ conditions. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection becomes effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks, doors will be opened to new vulnerabilities. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. Connecting different WSNs is another issue that needs to be considered. A WSN might get partitioned into distinct segments due to battery exhaustion of many sensors. Providing mechanisms to restore connectivity by connecting those segments is of high importance. Also, an isolated segment of sensor nodes that cannot reach its sink can exploit the existence of a neighboringreachable WSN to deliver its sensed information. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. * * * * *Topics* Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to WSN, with more focus on the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, as well as the connection between WSNs and connectivity issues. They include but are not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Sensor deployment and connectivity issues - Integration of WSN and RFID - Interconnecting sensor and actor networks - Interconnecting WSN and fixed network - InterconnectingWSN and mobile network (e.g., GSM, UAV; etc.) - Interconnecting onboard vehicular sensors and fixed infrastructure (V2I) - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - Testdeds for integrated networks - Authentication, vulnerability, protection, and security issues - Fault-tolerance and dependability of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues - Routing and network protocols - Medium access control protocols - Transport protocols for congestion control, and Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - In-network processing and aggregation - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services * * *Submission guidelines and policy* Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be peer reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings, and will be available on-line at IEEE Xplore digital library.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Extending the Internet to Low power and Lossy Networks (IP+SN 2011)
by Lars Wolf 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Extending the Internet to Low power and Lossy Networks (IP+SN 2011) Datum: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 22:51:06 -0500 Von: Andreas Terzis <terzis(a)cs.jhu.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Extending the Internet to Low power and Lossy Networks (IP+SN 2011) April 11th 2010 Chicago, Illinois Colocated with CPS Week 2011 http://hinrg.cs.jhu.edu/ip+sn2011/ For nearly a decade, wireless sensor network research and development largely assumed that the Internet architecture was ill-suited for sensor networks. Many in the field argued that the Internet protocols were impractical for the resource constrained devices that were being embedded in the physical world; that the end-to-end architecture was inappropriate for the localized algorithms and in-network processing required to achieve robustness and scalability; and that an architecture designed to accommodate a wide range of applications was unnecessary as sensor networks would be tailored to specific target applications. In the past couple years, the Smart Grid push has placed a pressing need to deploy networks that have an unprecedented scale when compared to existing IP networks (e.g., 10 million end points within a single network targeted by utility manufacturers), allow multi-vendor interoperability, and utilize low-cost communication devices. Sensor networks are considered a natural fit for Smart Grid applications such as Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Home Area Networking (HAN). To address this need, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is working with researchers and practitioners to standardize protocols, such as 6LoWPAN and ROLL, for constrained networks. This workshop solicits articles that describe early experiences with such standards, papers that describe sensor network applications built on top of these standards, as well as research proposals regarding how to extend the standards. Topics of Interest Authors are invited to submit papers for presentation at the workshop. The topics of interest include theoretical and empirical work in, but not limited to: * Experience with 6LoWPAN/RPL implementations * Experience with IP-based sensornet deployments * Interoperability results * Applications of IP-based sensor networks * Application-level protocols (e.g., work related to the IETF CoRE WG on CoAP) * End-to-end, IP-based architectures that include sensor networks * Experience with IP over low-power, duty cycled networks Important Dates * Submission Deadline: Feb 14th * Acceptance Notification: March 4th * Camera Ready Due: March 21st Workshop Organization Co-Chairs * Andreas Terzis, Johns Hopkins University * Jonathan Hui, Cisco Systems, Inc.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Feature Topic IEEE ComMag: The Internet of Things Datum: Wed, 15 Dec 2010 09:15:12 -0500 Von: Chatschik Bisdikian <bisdik(a)us.ibm.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on The Internet of Things (http://dl.comsoc.org/ci1/info/cfp/cfpcommag1111.htm) The Internet has experienced a tremendous growth in the past three decades, evolving from a network of a few hundred hosts to a platform linking billions of “things” globally, including individual people as well as enterprises of various sizes, through computers of any conceivable size and capability and the applications running on them. The growth of Internet shows no signs of slowing down and it steadily becomes the cause of a new pervasive paradigm in computing and communications. This new paradigm enhances the traditional Internet into a smart Internet of Things (IoT) created around intelligent interconnections of diverse objects in the physical world, such as vehicles, cellphones, habitats and habitat occupants, through low-cost information gathering devices, such as sensors and RFID tags, that facilitate fast-paced interactions among the objects themselves as well as the objects and persons in any place and at any time. IoT will usher a wide range of smart applications and services to cope with many of the challenges that individuals and organizations face in their everyday lives. For example, remote healthcare monitoring systems will help alleviate the severe shortage of healthcare personnel in an ageing society; intelligent transportation systems will help reduce traffic congestion and inevitably ills caused by it such as air-pollution; smart distribution systems from utility grids to supply chains will improve the quality and reduce the cost of their respective goods and services; tagged objects can be recycled more efficiently by being retrieved from bulk waste disposal, and so on. These applications would dramatically change the way our societies function and thus have a big impact on many aspects of people’s life in the years to come. IoT is not a mere extension of today’s Internet or an internet of Internet systems. It represents intelligent end-to-end systems that enable smart solutions and as such it covers a diverse range of technologies, including sensing, communications, networking, computing, information processing, and intelligent control technologies. To make IoT a reality, significant research needs to be conducted within and across these technological aspects of IoT. This has recently motivated a voluminous amount of research activities in the hot field and this Feature Topic Issue intends to capture and expose it to the IEEE ComMag readership. Scope of the issue This feature topic issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art development in technology, application, and standardization in the field of the Internet of Things, and present an insight of future research opportunities and challenges in this field. The feature issue will consider original survey and research articles written in a tutorial style. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Network and system architectures of IoT * Sensing technologies for IoT * Short-range Communications for IoT * Sensor networking technologies for IoT * Access network technologies for IoT * Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT * RFID applications in IoT * Smart grid applications in IoT * Healthcare applications in IoT * Environmental monitoring applications in IoT * Intelligent transportation applications in IoT * Public safety in IoT * Security and privacy management for IoT * Application systems and testbeds for IoT * Standardization activities for IoT Manuscript Submission Authors should submit their manuscripts in PDF format electronically via the Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com). Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine’s guidelines for preparation of their manuscripts. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

The rapid evolution in these areas, driven by technological advances and new business models, raises a critical need for continuous reappraisal of modeling, control and management mechanisms. For instance, as energy becomes an increasingly important design criterion, new algorithms are needed to optimize the tradeoff between energy consumption and quality of service. In addition to improving network efficiency and performance, there has recently been a significant interest in new network architectural principles. How should the lower layers be structured to best support content-centric networking? What network control and optimization issues are raised by virtualization and cloud computing? What architectural elements and business models are needed to meet user expectations for service quality, reliability and security in a cost-effective way? Now annually held, ITC 2011 solicits submission of papers with original contributions, especially contributions that address novel issues, pioneer disruptive paradigms, or propose innovative models and techniques.
