-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Fw: CFP: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:42:31 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ... Forwarding on behalf of Ying-Dar Lin: Xiaoming --------------------------------- IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: a.. Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, and stability b.. Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, and consumer handhelds c.. Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes d.. Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services e.. Network lab testing and field testing f.. Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds g.. Evaluating false positive and negative of network security h.. Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: LOCALGOS 2010, Papers Due March 21st Datum: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:35:18 -0800 Von: Ben Zhao <ravenben(a)cs.ucsb.edu> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Following three successful events in 2007, 2008 and 2009, the 4th International Workshop on Localized Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (LOCALGOS 2010) aims to cover comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. This workshop concentrates on such network layer problems as data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed approaches where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on various aspects of localized algorithms and protocols in this rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: GreenMetrics 2010 Workshop (in conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2010) Datum: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:50:02 -0700 (MST) Von: Niklas Carlsson <ncarlsso(a)cpsc.ucalgary.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call For Papers: GreenMetrics 2010 Workshop Monday June 14, 2010 Columbia University, New York, NY In conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2010 Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS Global climate change is a topic of increasing importance in modern society. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how improvements to or new uses of ICT can reduce the environmental impact of ICT and non-ICT processes. The workshop will provide a forum for discussions on methods to reduce the environmental impact of ICT systems, networks and applications. The workshop will also provide an opportunity to explore how ICT applications or services can reduce the environmental impact of existing non-ICT processes (e.g., quantify the reduction in carbon emissions from using tele-presence services instead of travel). This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from the (traditional) SIGMETRICS community with researchers and practitioners in relevant areas, to exchange technical ideas and experiences on how to lessen the environmental impact of ICT. Improvements should be quantified in terms of sustainability metrics such as reductions in carbon emissions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Improvements in sustainability should ideally also demonstrate that acceptable Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be maintained. This workshop will serve as a forum for the SIGMETRICS community to apply general measurement, analysis and modeling techniques to this important area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Measurement and evaluation of the sustainability of existing ICT systems * Definition and demonstration of useful sustainability metrics * Methods that systematically improve the efficiency of existing ICT systems * Tools that facilitate the design of more sustainable ICT systems * Development of models that pertain to the sustainability of ICT systems * Case studies of efforts to improve the sustainability of production ICT systems * Use of ICT systems to improve the sustainability of existing non-ICT processes In all of the above topics, "ICT systems" includes applications and services supported by ICT infrastructure. We believe that it is important to provide a medium for researchers and organizations to share insights and lessons learned as steps are taken towards improving sustainability, and strongly encourage submissions presenting research involving large-scale ICT systems such as entire data centers or enterprise-scale applications. An award will be presented for the best student paper. Important Dates: - Monday May 3, 2010: Paper Submission (hard deadline) - Monday May 17, 2010: Author Notification - Monday May 31, 2010: Final Versions Due - Monday June 14, 2010: Workshop Submission Guidelines: Papers must not exceed five double-column pages in the standard ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submissions must be submitted electronically in printable PDF form, via the EDAS system (http://www.edas.info/). The EDAS system requires you to register the title and abstract of your paper before you can upload the manuscript of the paper. The deadline for the final version of submissions is May 3, 2010, 23:59 EST. Submissions will be reviewed by the GreenMetrics program committee, from which a number of papers will be selected for presentation at the workshop. The accepted papers will be published in the March 2011 issue of ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (PER). Authors of accepted papers grant permission to ACM to publish the paper in PER and the ACM digital library. Authors do retain the copyright of their paper.

Westphal <cwestphal(a)docomolabs-usa.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS: VISA'10 2nd Workshop on Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures In Conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM'10, New Delhi, Aug 30th-Sept 3rd 2010 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/workshops/VISA Infrastructure virtualization has emerged as an important architecture and experimentation concept for the Internet infrastructure. The global computing and communication infrastructure will encompass (as it does today) a diverse and huge collection of networking, computing and storage resources. Together they need to form a coherent infrastructure and meet our society's requirements for the 21st century. There are many technical problems to solve to enable Infrastructure virtualization: how to discover, create and manage an infrastructure slice across diverse resources; how does virtualization extend into the data center or to the wireless edge; how to implement virtualization across heterogeneous resources and protocols; how to map an application or service to run on an infrastructure slice; what applications and capabilities are enabled by infrastructure virtualization; how does infrastructure virtualization impact the business models of network operators; and others. The goal of the workshop is to feature recent research and developments related to infrastructure virtualization; to allow exchange of ideas; and to help build a research and user community to explore and help realize the potential of infrastructure virtualization. We encourage the submission of position papers and of works which encompass the whole infrastructure virtualization (network and storage and computing resources). We solicit previously unpublished work on the following, non exhaustive, list of topics: TOPICS OF INTEREST - Infrastructure virtualization architecture; - Resource allocation to virtual slices; - Impact of infrastructure virtualization on the data center; - Management tools for infrastructure virtualization; - How can infrastructure virtualization enable or support cloud computing; - Isolation and slice independence in a virtualized infrastructure; - Integration of the wireless edge into a virtualized network; - Inter-operability and federation of virtualized infrastructures; - Cross-layer protocols for virtualized networks; - Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure; and - Security issues with virtualized infrastructure.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] Call for Papers: Pervasive Computing for Smart Energy Systems Datum: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:29:34 +0100 Von: Andreas Bulling <andreas.bulling(a)ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Andreas Bulling <andreas.bulling(a)ACM.ORG> Organisation: ETH Zurich An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call, it has been posted to several relevant mailing lists. Please redistribute within your own group or among colleagues, thank you!] CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------- IEEE Pervasive Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Computing for Smart Energy Systems www.computer.org/PERVASIVE Important Dates: ----------------------------------- Submission Deadline: 1 Apr. 2010 Publication: Oct. - Dec. 2011 Description: ----------------------------------- Occupants of near-future buildings won’t necessarily be able to flip a light switch or adjust a thermostat to control building utilities. There may well be too many devices to easily control with direct “switches;” instead, they'll need to be driven by inferred intention or simple, intuitive, collective control. More crucially, as about 40 percent of the energy used in the US and most developed economies tends to be consumed in built infrastructure, energy conservation concerns will pull our hand off the dial as environments regulate themselves to accommodate occupants' objectives and best tend to their comfort while minimizing energy consumption. Accordingly, smart energy systems will be a strong application area of pervasive computing, as user state, behavior and context are measured, inferred, and leveraged across a variety of domains, environments, sensors, and actuators to dynamically mitigate energy usage. IEEE Pervasive Computing welcomes submissions on all aspects of smart energy systems relevant to our field, including, for example: * interactive systems for energy management; * dynamically adaptive energy management; * minimally invasive energy management systems (those that are simple, unobtrusive, easy-to-use, intuitive, and self-configuring); * engaging wearable and mobile devices in dynamic energy management; * wearable and sensed-infrastructure control of heating and lighting; * sensor networks for energy monitoring and control; * optimal collective management of diverse energy sources in living environments; * energy management in smart buildings; * unified energy management across home, office, and mobile contexts; * determining and utilizing user context in regulating energy; * persuasive computing to encourage users to minimize energy use; * exploiting social computing or game-like environments to encourage energy frugality; * utilizing diverse media to expose real-time and integrated energy consumption to users; * user interfaces to integrated and/or distributed smart energy systems; * smart grids in relation to pervasive computing; * smart integration of distributed, scalable, and affordable energy storage across appliances, buildings, and vehicles; * security, privacy, and policy in pervasive energy systems; * nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) and nonintrusive appliance load monitoring (NALM) techniques; and * hardware and/or software systems to enable pervasive smart energy environments and applications. In addition to feature-length articles, IEEE Pervasive Computing invites work-in-progress submissions of 250 words or less. Submit a WiPs report on your project to pvcwips(a)computer.org.
