It has been estimated that information and communication technologies (ICT) account for about 600 billion kWh of electricity usage annually, about 400 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. Therefore, there is great emerging interest in the design of networks which are energy-efficient, reusable, and yield a lower carbon footprint. There are many other ways in which communication networks can be deployed to enable initiatives pertaining to environmental sustainability; for instance, networks can be deployed to monitor air pollution, or manage energy utilization of buildings. And in a different, but related notion of sustainability, some application require the deployment and management of networks that can be sustainably operated over long periods, such as networks for monitoring earthquakes and tsunamis. We welcome papers on topics including but not limited to: Sustainable Networking * Green network architectures and protocols * Energy-efficient network hardware * Novel queuing models with energy-oriented metrics * Energy-QoS tradeoffs in network planning and operation * Energy consumption profiling in networks * Network economics for incentivizing sustainable user behavior Networks for Sustainability * Network infrastructure for smart energy use * Communication networks enabling renewable energy use * Networks deployed to monitor biodiversity, environmental quality, including underwater networks Long-lived Networks * Networks utilizing energy harvesting * Long-lived and self-sustaining network deployments * Energy storage and transfer networks * Networks for monitoring earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22, 2011 Camera-ready date: May 2, 2011 Paper Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically through EDAS system (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10569).

Couch" <couch(a)cs.tufts.edu>, "Steven Y. Ko" <stevko(a)buffalo.edu> ========================================================= Apologies if you received multiple copies ========================================================= SECON 2011 Workshop on Network Configuration Management (WNCM) Chairs: Alva Couch (Tufts University, USA) Steve Ko (SUNY at Buffalo, USA) The SECON workshop on Network Configuration Management brings together academic and industry researchers around the common goal of creating predictable, reliable, robust, and secure computer networks and services, in the presence of ongoing changes in requirements, hardware, and physical infrastructure. While configuration management is an implicit part of managing any kind of network, it is often left as an unnamed part of the greater task of "network management," even though statistically, an overwhelming percentage of operational issues are due to misconfiguration. In avoiding misconfiguration errors and the ensuing downtime, there is great utility in managing, manipulating, and analyzing a holistic network configuration that is the union of the configurations of its components. The workshop has two overall missions: a) To explore the current state of the art of "network configuration management", including strategies for describing, depicting, manipulating, verifying, and deploying configurations, along with approaches to safety, security, change management, safe reconfiguration, and related topics. b) To seek synergy with other forms of "configuration management", including "service configuration management". Effective cloud computing, e.g., requires careful coordination between service configuration and network configuration management. The goals of the workshop include educating the research community on the current grand challenges of network configuration management, exposing recent advances in network and service configuration management, and plotting the future of the field and next research steps. Topics of interest to the workshop include: - all forms of network configuration management, including management of network devices, security devices (firewalls, VPN, IPSec), and authentication and authorization servers for network users. - configuration-based techniques for guaranteeing network consistency, connectivity, safety, security, reliability, robustness, and performance expectations. - languages and protocols for specifying and manipulating network configurations and network security requirements. - interfaces between network configuration management and other forms of configuration management, including system and service configuration management. - strategies for federating, delegating, and sharing configuration management responsibilities. - strategies for coping with multiple, overlapping configuration repositories. - critical analysis of current configuration management standards and practices. - safe, secure, reliable, and robust configuration deployment mechanisms. - model-based and measurement-driven analysis of network configurations. - configuration challenges for new networking paradigms including programmable network devices (e.g., via OpenFlow). - misconfiguration detection, avoidance, and remediation. - approaches to network inventory and auditing, regulatory compliance, change management, transition planning, and safe reconfiguration. - dynamic reconfiguration strategies for media delivery. - domain-specific configuration management strategies, e.g., for cloud computing, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and ubiquitous computing. - autonomic and self-* approaches to network configuration, including intelligent agent, swarm-based, bio-inspired, and convergence approaches. The workshop will consist of selected presentations by attendees, as well as a keynote talk and a panel discussion of the grand challenges of the field. Attendance at the workshop is by invitation only. To attend the workshop, please submit a white paper describing a current problem of network configuration management and your approach to that problem. Each white paper is limited to three pages in length, and must include (i) a brief (1/2 page or less) description about the author's background and experience in configuration management, and (ii) an important problem that the author believes that the research community as a whole should be aware of and/or approaches that show preliminary promises. All invitees will be asked to submit camera ready versions of their white papers for publication in the SECON proceedings. Selected authors of white papers will be invited to present their results at the workshop. All white papers should be submitted through EDAS (http://edas.info/) and follow the formatting guideline for the SECON conference, which can be found at http://www.ieee-secon.org/submission.html Paper Deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22 Camera-ready date: May 2 With best regards, -Jay -- Satyajayant Misra Assistant Professor Computer Science Department New Mexico State University Homepage: http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~misra ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elmirghani, University of Leeds, UK, j.m.h.elmirghani(a)leeds.ac.uk<mailto:j.m.h.elmirghani@leeds.ac.uk>. Scope and Motivation Energy efficient processes are increasingly key priorities for ICT companies with attention being paid to both ecological and economic drivers. Although in some cases the use of ICT can be beneficial to the environment (for example by reducing journeys and introducing more efficient business processes), countries are becoming increasingly aware of the very large growth in energy consumption of telecommunications companies. In particular, the predicted future growth in the number of connected devices and the Internet bandwidth of an order of magnitude or two is not practical if it leads to a corresponding growth in energy consumption. Regulations may therefore come soon, particularly if Governments mandate moves towards carbon neutrality. Therefore this track is of great importance in seeking to establish the current trends in system and network performance due to known environmental concerns. In particular we believe that substantial advances can be achieved through the innovative use of new architectures, protocols, and algorithms operating on hardware which will itself allows significant reductions in energy consumption. This will represent a significant departure from accepted practices where ICT and networking services are provided to meet the growing demand, without any regard for the energy consequences of relative location of supply and demand. Main Topics of Interest 1. Power consumption trends in the Internet, (including core, metro, access and home networks) and the green agenda. 2. Network architecture design for low power operation. 3. Routing protocols for energy minimisation in core, metro and access networks. 4. Traffic shaping and policy implementation for energy minimisation in networks. 5. Network monitoring for energy consumption minimisation. 6. Electronic routing versus photonic switching for energy minimisation. 7. Low cost, low energy large photonic switching fabrics. 8. Uncooled switching and routing components. 9. Intelligent low power router circuits. 10. Hardware power consumption models. 11. Transmission energy saving. 12. Possible avenues for standards and intervention.

Cyber-physical systems are tight integrations of computation, networking, and physical objects. It is believed that CPS will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. Ubiquitous applications and services enabled by CPS are opening up great opportunities for improving the quality of our daily life. To fully explore the potential of CPS, however, significant challenges are yet to be overcome. HotCPS is a forum for researchers and practitioners from the global Chinese community (but not restricted to) to present and discuss innovative ideas and results on hot topics in the rapidly emerging filed of CPS. HotCPS 2011 will be a highly selective and interactive workshop. Besides research paper presentations, the workshop will feature invited talks and interactive/panel discussions. The workshop will be held in Dalian, China on July 9, 2011. We particularly look for well-written papers containing novel work in the following topic areas: - Control theory and techniques for CPS - Cyber-physical networks and software - Innovative applications and services enabled by CPS IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submissions due: 25 March 2011 First decision notification: 25 April 2011 Submission of revised papers: 5 May 2011 Final decision notification: 15 May 2011 Registration due: 25 May 2011 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers that MUST NOT have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2011 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom'11) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future. CPSCom'11 is the next edition of the successful series, previously held as CPSCom'10 (Hangzhou, China, December 2010), CyberSocialCom'09 (Hangzhou, China, November 2009), and CPSC'09 (Brisbane, Australia, July 2009). 2. SCOPE AND INTERESTS Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of cyber, physical, and social computing - Intelligence and semantics in cyber, physical, and social computing - Architecture and infrastructure for cyber, physical, and social computing - Applications and experiences of cyber, physical, and social computing - Cyber-physical systems and society - Modeling, mining, and analysis of social data and social networks - Communication and control in cyber, physical, and social computing - Security, privacy, trust, and safety - Design of large scale of cyber, physical, and social systems - Tools for analysis, verification, control, and optimization of hybrid systems - Ubiquitous sensing with socially produced input - Mobile phones as social sensors - Cyber/digital human and network life 3. IMPORTANT DATES Workshop Proposal Due: April 1, 2011 Submission Due: May 1, 2011 Notification of Acceptance: July 1, 2011 Final Manuscript Due: August 1, 2011 4. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original papers that MUST NOT have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal. Full Papers (up to 10 pages) and Short Papers (up to 4 pages) are solicited. Detailed submission instructions could be found on the conference website http://cpscom.org. All papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee for significance, originality, accuracy, and clarity. 5. PAPER PUBLICATIONS Each submission should be regarded as an undertaking that, if the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the conference to present the work in order for the paper to be included in the IEEE Digital Library.
