Humans build, deploy, use, and maintain these systems that can sense our activities and influence our behavior. We will increasingly rely on these networked embedded systems, therefore also requiring a secure and privacy-preserving treatment of sensitive human-centric data. Novel paradigms and solutions are also needed to allow humans to interact with these systems. This school explores the manifold relationship between networked embedded systems and humans as their creators, users, and subjects. GOALS & AUDIENCE -- The goal of the summer school is to survey fundamental and applied aspects of networked embedded systems and their relationship to humans, as well as to identify novel opportunities and research directions in these areas through a series of lectures by international experts. Participants will also experience the relevant technologies during hands-on courses and be given a chance to present their own work during a participants' workshop. The school will provide a great opportunity to know other people working in the field, to meet distinguished scholars, and to establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the future. We expect about 60 participants. The intended audience are postgraduate students, PhD students, and young researchers from universities and industrial laboratories around the world. TOPICS - Design and implementation of networked embedded systems - Debugging and validation of networked embedded systems - Management and maintenance of networked embedded systems - Sensing and affecting behavior of humans and other organisms - Participatory sensing - Interacting with networked embedded systems - Security, privacy, and dependability - Applications, such as smart energy and smart healthcare - Experience from real-world deployments SPEAKERS (Preliminary) - Srdjan Capkun (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Tanzeem Choudhury (Dartmouth College, USA) - Peter Corke (Queensland University of Technology, Australia) - Anna Foerster (SUPSI, Switzerland) - Mark Hansen (UCLA, USA) - Lars Erik Holmquist (Mobile Life @ SICS, Sweden) - Marc Langheinrich (University of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland) - Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Luca Mottola (SICS, Sweden) - Angelika Peer (TU Munich, Germany) - Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy) - Kay Roemer (University of Luebeck, Germany & ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Andreas Terzis (Johns Hopkins University, USA) - Thiemo Voigt (SICS, Sweden) PARTICIPATION -- Prospective participants should apply online before April 30, 2011 at the summer school website.

Datum: Sun, 27 Feb 2011 16:51:18 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)CS.UNI-GOETTINGEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Dear colleagues, Below please find the call for papers for The 6th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2011): http://mobiarch11.cs.ucl.ac.uk/ Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 18, 2011, 11:59 PM EST (deadline extended!) Acceptance Notification: March 31, 2011 Camera Ready Due: April 24, 2011 Technical Area With recent advances in technologies for wireless access (e.g., WiFi, 3G, and 4G) and mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, netbooks, and tablets), mobility has become a fundamental characteristic of today's Internet. Yet, basic architectural issues related to mobility such as efficient mobility management, the locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, and various operational, deployment concerns are still in their early stages of exploration. Moreover, the Internet architecture itself, its end-to-end principles, and business models require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as seamless and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies such as those in the 60 GHz and whitespace bands may pose additional challenges since they may introduce design principles different from the packet-switched Internet. MobiArch 2011 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. We encourage submission of both work-in-progress and position papers. The workshop will address all architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including: • Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on Internet architecture. • Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in the link, network, and transport layers, to the application layer and cross-layer design. • Architectures and protocols for service partitioning, code offloading, and data center management to support mobile devices in the compute cloud. • Location management, robustness, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues. • Security, dependability, and privacy issues in mobility networks, and their impacts on Internet architecture. • Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in remote areas and developing countries. • Performance issues with mobility in the Internet. • QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts on Internet architecture. • Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices). • Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design. Paper format and submission instructions Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts.

MoCS 2011: Call For Papers (Deadline Extended, March 8)
by Mario Fanelli 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) Paper Submission deadline extended: March 8, 2011 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: 8 March 2011 (extended, firm!) 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. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by March 8 2011 (firm) using EDAS (http://edas.info/N9903). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2011 Proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).

Deadline extended to March 21, 2011 !!!!!!!! Scope The convergence of cyber and physical spaces has transformed traditional embedded systems into cyber-physical systems (CPS), which are characterized by tight integration and coordination among computing, networking, and physical processes. Examples of CPS encompass a wide range of man-made systems such as avionics, healthcare, transportation, automation, and smart grid systems. In addition, the recent proliferation of smart phones and mobile Internet devices, equipped with multiple sensors, can be leveraged to enable mobile cyber-physical applications. In these systems, it is of critical importance to properly resolve the complex interactions between various computational and physical elements. This special issue aims to identify emerging research topics in CPS from the mobile communication and networking perspective. In particular, by properly addressing complex interactions between cyber and physical elements of CPS, we focus on challenging issues in networking that need to be resolved for deriving eventual working solutions for CPS. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: *Theoretical foundations of CPS *Modeling, analysis, and simulation of CPS *Architectures for CPS *Emerging CPS applications *Empirical case studies for CPS *Security and privacy in CPS *Energy-efficient design of CPS Tentative Schedule Submission deadline: March 21, 2011 Author notification: June 15, 2011 Revised paper due: August 15, 2011 Final author notification: September 30, 2011 Guest Editors Prof. Kyung-Joon Park DGIST, Daegu, Republic of Korea E-mail: kjp(a)dgist.ac.kr Prof. Xue Liu University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Nebraska, USA E-mail: xueliu(a)cse.unl.edu Prof. Rong Zheng University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA E-mail: rzheng(a)uh.edu Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select “Special Issue: Cyber-Physical Systems” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
