We hope to bring together people from industry and academia to share ideas and discuss experiences related to green networking/computing technologies. Detailed call for papers is included below, and is also available at: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/gncfp.php Please consider submitting a paper, and publicize the workshop among your colleagues. The deadline for submission is March 19th, 2010. Thanks, - Jitu Padhye, Paul Barford and Sambit Sahu First ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Green Networking Understanding and reducing the energy consumption of computing and communication infrastructure in home, enterprise and data center environments is an area of increasing importance for both researchers and commercial entities. This is an interdisciplinary field by its very nature: advances in many areas such as computer architecture, operating systems and compilers are all needed to reduce the energy consumption. Many of the proposed ideas have a direct impact on how networks are designed and provisioned. The power consumption of network infrastructure has itself come under scrutiny. At the same time, we have begun to see networking technologies play a significant role in reducing energy consumption in other domains such as utility networks and transportation systems. The First Green Networking workshop at SIGCOMM will focus on networking issues involved in designing green infrastructures in both computing and non-computing domains. We welcome papers that utilize networking technologies and principles to other domains besides traditional networking areas such as transit, energy that influence our daily life. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Power measurements and data from empirical studies of computer and communication infrastructure * Techniques for measuring or estimating power consumption of computer and communication infrastructure * Techniques for reducing power consumption in data center, enterprise and home environments * Power consumption of networking infrastructure * Protocol and middleware considerations for reducing power consumption * Hardware and architectural support for reducing power consumption * Green network design for high density data centers and cloud computing * Methods that focus on computing and communication systems as key components for reducing the power footprint in other environments such as smart grids and smart transportation systems * Application of networking technologies and principles for greening services and utilities affecting our daily life Submissions All submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress, so long as the promise of the approach is demonstrated. Radical ideas, potentially of a controversial nature, are strongly encouraged. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be a pdf file. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 16:51:06 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 3 weeks left ========== Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Wireless Networks that are aware of social network knowledge *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Journal Special Issue Wireless and Network Security Datum: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 14:39:01 +0500 Von: ali ahmed <aliahmed263(a)hotmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems Journal Special Issue on “Wireless and Network Security” We are living in communication age and use of latest technology in the field of computer communication is offering many new services but at the same time raising various security issues. Securing the computer communication by keeping all the services available and cost effective is one of the major challenges in this era. Mobility is something that will be the requirement of each and every type of network technology in coming few years. So mobile communication adds more in the security issues and opens many doors for the attacker to attack. Researchers all over the world are developing solution to close those doors from where attacks can be launched. In short providing security in computer communication (especially wireless communication) is one of the major challenges of the current age. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality, original, unpublished research papers covering all aspects related to Wireless and Network Security. In addition, this Special Issue collects extended versions of accepted and presented papers from First International Workshop on Wireless and Network Security (WNS 2010) in Miyazaki, Japan. Topics Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Key ManagementPrivacy and AnonymitySecure PHY and MAC ProtocolsSecure RoutingIntrusion DetectionDenial of ServiceSecure multimedia communicationVulnerability AnalysisSecurity Policy, Strategy and ManagementCryptographyAuthentication and Authorization Trusted Computing Important Dates Initial Paper submission July 10, 2010 First Acceptance Notification Oct 10, 2010 Revised Paper Submission Nov 10, 2010 Final Acceptance Notification Dec 10, 2010 Camera ready paper submission Dec 31, 2010 Submission Guidelines Guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts are available at the journal website http://www.springer.com/business/business+information+systems/journal/11235 Submission by email to aneelrahim(a)ksu.edu.sa in PDF only Guest Editors: Aneel Rahim , Prince Muqrin Chair for IT Security, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia Zeeshan Shafi Khan, Prince Muqrin Chair for IT Security, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia Fahad Bin Muhaya, Prince Muqrin Chair for IT Security, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
