-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd International Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2010) Datum: Fri, 18 Jun 2010 09:50:59 -0400 (EDT) Von: iwoungan(a)scs.ryerson.ca An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd International Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2010), in conjunction with the 28th IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS 2010) Scope: The strong growth in mobile devices, networked embedded systems and wireless sensors provides a flexible and cheap infrastructure for collecting and monitoring real-world data nearly everywhere. This is complemented by the ever increasing information and computing power offered by computing clusters and information services over stationary networks The integration of network computing and mobile systems presents new challenges especially with respect to the dependability of integrated applications: accepted measures of availability, costs, and quality of service for high-bandwidth, high-quality stationary systems have to be re-thought facing possibly new dependability paradigms for cheap, resource restricted, unreliable mobile systems with low-bandwidth communication facilities, being embedded and subject to the conditions in the physical world. Topics: This workshop solicits papers addressing dependability issues related to the design, analysis, and implementation, of infrastructures, systems, architectures, algorithms and protocols that deal with network computing and mobile/ubiquitous systems. Topics include, but are not limited to: Wireless communication protocols and mobile networks Sensor networks Architectures and middleware for mobile device integration Location-based computing and data analysis Intelligent sensors in networked environments Cluster computing, ubiquitous computing Grid-Computing for mobile applications Distributed data mining for mobile applications Ubiquitous Knowledge Discovery Applications such as cooperative mobile robots, embedded applications, ... Hardware security methods for mobile applications Security methods for network computing and mobile systems Intelligent mobile systems Important Dates: Submission due: July 20, 2010 Decision due: August 10, 2010 Camera-ready due: August 31, 2010 Workshop date: Oct. 31, 2010 Papers submission: Papers submission should be made through EasyChair.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CfP SCENES - Extended Deadline - Workshop on Scenarios for Network Evaluation Studies Datum: Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:29:44 +0200 Von: Nils Aschenbruck <aschenbruck(a)cs.uni-bonn.de> An: itc(a)comsoc.org Extended Deadline: July 2nd, 2010 ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= The Second Workshop on Scenarios for Network Evaluation Studies (SCENES 2010) http://scenes.cs.bonn.edu San Francisco, CA, USA Nov. 8th, 2010 to be held in conjunction with MASS 2010 https://mass2010.soe.ucsc.edu CALL FOR PAPERS For the reliable performance evaluation of wireless networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 6 camera-ready pages in IEEE conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions will be handled via EDAS: http://edas.info/N9078 For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the MASS 2010 website: https://mass2010.soe.ucsc.edu/ IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission deadline: July 2, 2010 Notification of acceptance: Aug. 13, 2010 Camera-ready paper due: Sep. 3, 2010 KEYNOTE: will given by David Kotz, Dartmouth College, USA COMMITTEE: Program Chairs: Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany Tracy Camp, Colorado School of Mines, USA Technical Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Marco Conti, Istituto di Informatica e Telematica, Pisa, Italy Mesut Günes, FU-Berlin, Germany Marco Gruteser, Ruttgers University, USA Ahmed Helmy, University of Florida, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St Andrews, Scotland David B.

For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP- IEEE JSAC on "Game Theory in Wireless Communications" Datum: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:11:36 -0700 Von: Alireza Attar <attar(a)ece.ubc.ca> Antwort an: alireza.attar(a)ieee.org Organisation: UBC An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications "Game Theory in Wireless Communications" Wireless communication networks are undergoing a transformation, shifting network intelligence from the core network towards the edges of the network. Correspondingly, the process of decision making in wireless networks is migrating towards more distributed approaches. This calls for adoption of novel analytical approaches to capture the new degrees of freedom available for decision making processes in future communication technologies, fitting examples of which include femto-base-stations in beyond-3G systems and Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs). Game theory provides a powerful mathematical framework that can accommodate the preferences and requirements of various stakeholders in a given process as regards the outcome of the process. The application of game theory to the modeling and analysis of wireless networks has received considerable attention in recent years. Game theoretic approaches are multifarious, including among others cooperative and non-cooperative models, static and dynamic games, single-shot and repeated games, and finite- and infinite-horizon games. This special issue aims to bring together a comprehensive view of the application of game theoretic models to emerging wireless systems. We specially encourage studies that demonstrate the capabilities of game theory in wireless communication when other techniques have failed to produce insight, when complex wireless scenarios have helped advance game-theoretic models, and alternatively when limitations of game theory in practical wireless networks are captured. Hence, original previously un-published contributions are solicited in relevant topics, including but not limited to the following: * Game theoretic approaches to the design of PHY and MAC layers in future cellular and broadband technologies * Game models for cognitive radio and self-organizing networks * Application of novel solution concepts such as equilibrium or core solutions in wireless scenarios * Wireless network analysis using dynamic, stochastic, super-modular and sub-modular games * Coalition formation and other cooperative strategies for wireless radio networks * Evolutionary game theory for wireless networks * Radio resource allocation and interference management * Distributed load balancing, congestion control policies and routing protocols based on game theory * Mechanism design in auctions and other wireless applications * Reinforcement and Q-learning for various wireless network equilibria, such as the correlated equilibrium * Analysis of security and privacy in wireless application via game theory * Utilization of imperfect/asymmetric information game models in wireless communications * Multi-armed and restless bandit problems and their application in modeling wireless networks Prospective authors should follow the manuscript format described in the "Information for Authors" section on the IEEE J-SAC website (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html ). All papers should be submitted in PDF format via EDAS (http://edas.info <http://edas.info/> ).

Can Vuran <mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies] ========================================= Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) Special Issue on WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN CHALLENGED ENVIRONMENTS ========================================= Guest Editors: Mehmet Can VURAN, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Wendi HEINZELMAN, University of Rochester, USA Jun-Hong CUI, University of Connecticut, USA Gilles Y. DELISLE, Technology Integration Center, Canada Martine LIENARD, University of Lille, France Cedric WESTPHAL, DoCoMo Labs, USA ************* Paper submission deadline: July 9, 2010 ************** The recent advances in wireless communications and networking have motivated the use of these technologies in environments where no computer has gone before. More specifically, the ubiquitous data gathering, computation, and communication capabilities of tiny sensors motes, microprocessors, and mobile communication devices have recently been exploited in places such as underground mines, tunnels, and soil; underwater environments such as oceans and rivers; the outer space; and locations affected by natural disasters. Wireless communication in these challenged environments is characterized by the direct impact of the physical world environment on the communication and networking performance. Accordingly, the traditional definitions of communication channel, connectivity, network topology, packet route, or message delivery may no longer hold true. To provide the required guarantees for applications in these environments, a fundamental understanding of the environmental impacts on communication as well as the physical layer affects on higher layer protocols is required. Moreover, cross-layer solutions that address the challenges in these environments by incorporating the interactions between the environment and communication performance are beneficial. Consequently, environment-aware solutions that adapt to the changes in their environment can be realized. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in communication and networking in challenged environments. Papers describing applications, protocols, analysis models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Network architectures - Analysis models - Channel models - Resiliency, reliability, and robustness - Communication protocols (transport, routing, MAC, error control, security) - Cross-layer design and optimization - Localization solutions - Deployment scenarios and experiences in Challenged Environments including: - Underground (Mines, tunnels, and soil) - Underwater - Space - Disaster areas - Urban areas About the Ad Hoc Networks ----------------------------------- The Ad Hoc Networks is an international and archival journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in ad hoc and sensor networking areas.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: REALWSN 2010: one month to submission deadline Datum: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:54:33 +0200 Von: Thiemo Voigt <thiemo(a)sics.se> An: Thiemo <thiemo(a)sics.se> CC: census(a)sics.se Dear colleagues, please note that the REALWSN deadline is one month away! Call for Papers: The Fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks =============================================================== 16-17 December, 2010 Colombo, Sri Lanka http://www.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk/realwsn10/ We are excited to announce that the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in December 2010. The purpose of the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance. Note that we will organize a poster and demo session as well. The deadline will be in the middle of September. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring, etc. * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: July 16, 2010 * Notification of acceptance: September 10, 2010 * Camera-ready copy due: October 8, 2010 * Workshop: 16-17 December, 2010 Organizers: Workshop Chair: * Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Technical program committee chairs: * Peter Corke, Queensland University of Technology, Australia * Pedro José Marron, University of Duisburg-Essen and Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany Local organizing committee: * A.

Fwd: [Tccc] JSAC "Measurement of Internet Topologies"

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] JSAC "Measurement of Internet Topologies" Datum: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 18:30:52 +0200 Von: Jean-Jacques Pansiot <jean-jacques.pansiot(a)unistra.fr> Organisation: Université de Strasbourg An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= Special issue of JSAC on MEASUREMENT OF INTERNET TOPOLOGIES ---------------------------------- Call For Papers --------------- The Internet is a complex but highly engineered system which has been built for years in a mostly distributed fashion, with little or no central authority. Even though a number of architectural principles underlying its design and evolution are known, our understanding of its global structure and dynamics at the different layers and of the nature of exchanges or communication over this structure has remained very limited. Many important features of this global structure can be studied by examining the various graphs (sets of nodes and links between them) that arise in the Internet at the different layers, each representing different aspects of Internet connectivity. This is true for instance for the physical connectivity, the IP-level connectivity, or the relationships between Autonomous Systems (ASes). The same holds true for the exchange or communication graphs (which nodes send information to which other nodes) at the various layers (e.g., packets, flows, files, email), and for overlay graphs induced by, for example, P2P systems, web services, or online social networks. Unfortunately, in practice these Internet-specific graph structures are not readily available and obtaining them from empirical observations typically requires costly special-purpose measurement infrastructures and experiments. The resulting data often reflect more what can be measured than what ought to be measured. As a result, the obtained information is typically incomplete, inaccurate, and biased. While some progress has been made to this regard in the last 10 years, much remains to be done. The goal of this special issue is to publish a collection of high-quality papers in the area of measurement of Internet topologies. We expect these papers to become key references in the field by (i) clearly articulating the limitations of the proposed measurement techniques or tools, (ii) detailing the resulting data quality issues, (iii) addressing ways to overcome some of the limitations, and (iv) highlighting for which purposes the obtained data can and cannot be used. The scope is broad and aims to cover all relevant aspects of the problem, but topics of special interest include: . new measurement strategies and tools, including novel and original approaches; . measurements at various layers, physical to applications; . measurements of related objects, e.g., routing trees, spreadings of files, or load-balancers; . inference of properties from measurements, and inference-oriented measurements; . modeling and analysis for measurements, including assessement of observed properties; . analysis of maps at any level, with special attention to measurement issues; . applications, including modeling of internet topologies and identification of key needs.
