-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: Design and Implementation Series (IEEE Communications Magazine) Datum: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 09:35:44 +0200 Von: Salvatore Loreto <salvatore.loreto(a)ericsson.com> An: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br Hi there, I want bring your attention to the following Call For Paper in IEEE Communication Magazine cheers /Sal -- Salvatore Loreto www.sloreto.com /IEEE Communications Magazine/ Call for Papers Design and Implementation Series The primary goal of Communications Magazine's Design and Implementation Series of articles is to serve the needs of telecommunications and telephony professionals in industry. Their jobs are often focused on creating products and services that maximize return on investment and that operate robustly across a broad range of environments. Typically, though, engineering represents only a small fraction of the total R&D effort. This is because many other factors must be taken into account that are not considered on the chalkboard or in a proof-of-concept; for example, interoperability, scalability (in both directions), compatibility (in both directions), cost-of-goods, market dynamics, security, effective user interfaces, technical risk, serviceability, manageability, supportability, testability, availability, deployability, recovery, packaging, etc. The ability to design and implement solutions successfully in such a complex environment is gained largely through experience and not through literature searches or collaborations with industry peers. Hence, the Design and Implementation Series seeks articles that provide practical knowledge for creating products and services while retaining the academically rigorous style and structure typical of Communications Magazine articles. You can write about any telecommunications or telephony topic, but we are particularly interested in IP telephony applications and infrastructure, especially in markets where non-traditional providers and vendors compete. Emphasize the factors that contributed to the decision process for your design and implementation, and tell us about the lessons learned, good or bad, from the experience. As much as possible, these decision factors should be generic enough to be applicable broadly to most telephony projects, regardless of their design details, and thus of interest to technologists outside the specialty of the article. *Submission* Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editor 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 Editors 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://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Design and Implementation Series." Consider this CFP to be permanently open until further notice. *Publication Schedule* Submission Deadline: Seven (7) months before publication date Acceptance Notification: Four (4) months before publication date Final Manuscript Submission: Two (2) months before publication date Publication Date: Design & Implementation Series articles are published approximately semi-annually (every six (6) months) *Design & Implementation Series * Salvatore Loreto Ericsson Research, Nomadiclab Hirsalantie 11 Jorvas 02420 Finland Sean Moore Centripetal Networks, Inc. 20 Mendelssohn Drive Hollis, NH USA 03049 TEL: +1 978-677-5232

Self-adaptation and self-optimization belong to the broad scope of autonomic computing. In the research community as well as industry, one can observe the emergence of self-aware and adaptive communication and embedded systems in various forms, for instance, massively parallel processing, sensor networks, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). They can be used extensively in different application domains, including consumer electronics, medical applications, smart houses, space applications, and automotive electronics. Properly exploiting self-awareness and adaptation can strongly benefit every major design concern in system development, including cost and yield, power and energy efficiency, dependability and security, as well as design productivity and time-to-market. *OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:* The objective of this special issue of IJERTCS is to bring together innovative works on self-aware and adaptive embedded and communication systems. Articles in different application and system domains, both as research papers and industrial case studies are requested. Works on the design, modeling and analysis from each abstraction level (system, architecture or circuit), as long as they improve our understanding of self-aware and adaptive features and contribute to the development of such systems are welcomed. Survey papers with an enlightening perspective on the technology and a well-justified evaluation of its future are also encouraged. *RECOMMENDED TOPICS:* Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following (in the context of embedded and communication systems): * Theory, specification, modeling and implementation of self-aware and adaptive systems * Parallel and distributed SAA system architectures * Application engineering for SAA Systems * Study of awareness and adaptation for power and energy optimization * Dependability and security issues in SAA systems * Case studies and industrial applications (consumer electronics, medical, automotives, smart houses, space and defense, etc.) * Self-aware and adaptive cyber-physical systems (CPS) in the embedded system context * Wireless sensor networks with self-aware and adaptive features * Formal methods in the design and verification of SAA systems * Survey of state-of-the-art works *SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:* Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special issue /*on or before May 31st, 2011.*/ All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication.

Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik VIRTUALISIERUNG - GESTERN, HEUTE, MORGEN TU Berlin, 04.10. - 07.10.2011 http://www.informatik2011.de/ ======================================================================== *** Verlängerung der Einreichungsfrist: 01. Mai 2011 *** Seit Jahren kennen und nutzen wir im Informatik-Umfeld den Begriff Virtualisierung. Die Bedeutung der Virtualisierung in unterschiedlichen Abstraktionsebenen (Prozessorebene, Betriebssystemebene etc.) und innerhalb der verschiedenen Informatik-Disziplinen, wie Hardware- und Software-Virtualisierung, Cloud-Computing, bei Multicore Prozessoren, als Mechanismen zur Verbesserung der Energie-Effizienz und Last- Balancierung u. ä. nimmt stetig zu. Die Vielfältigkeit der Nutzung des Begriffes in den unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Informatik führt zum Problem einer fehlenden präzisen Erfassung des Begriffs Virtualisierung. Es gibt verschiedene Ansätze zur Definition des Begriffs, die sich meist im übergreifenden Sinne auf die Nutzung von Virtualisierung als Abstraktionsschicht physischer Ressourcen in spezifischen Anwendungsbereichen beziehen. Eine allgemeine, eindeutige Definition für die Virtualisierung, die zukünftig zu einer stärkeren Systematisierung der aktuellen F&E-Aktivitäten führen könnte, ist aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen in den Anwendungsbereichen derzeit nur schwer möglich. Ziel dieses Workshops ist es, die innovativen Ansätze und aktuellen Entwicklungen in Verbindung mit Virtualisierungskonzepten zu erfassen, die Möglichkeiten einer Systematisierung zu diskutieren und ihre Bedeutung in der Informatik herauszustellen. Beiträge, die im Rahmen des Workshops vorgestellt werden, können die folgenden Themen umfassen, sind aber nicht auf diese beschränkt: * Virtualisierungsarchitekturen und -methoden in verschiedenen Rechnerarchitekturebenen * Ansätze zur Effizienzsteigerung vorhandener Virtualisierungskonzepte (z. B. Servervirtualisierung, Storage- Virtualisierung und Netzwerkvirtualisierung) * Anwendungen der Virtualisierung, kollektive Virtualisierung * Lastbalancierungs- und Lastaggregierungsverfahren (z. B. Live Migration-Technologien zur dynamischen Servervirtualisierung) * Performanceuntersuchungen virtualisierter Komponenten * Selbstorganisation in virtualisierten Umgebungen * Aspekte der Virtualisierung, die zur Präzisierung des Virtualisierungs- begriffs und Systematisierung von Virtualisierungskonzepten führen Beiträge müssen bis zum 01.

Tsiropoulos <gitsirop(a)hotmail.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> From: gitsirop(a)hotmail.com To: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Subject: Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 12:00:49 +0300 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2011) Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scope The Third IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT2011) will take place in conjunction with the IEEE International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems (ICUMT 2011) to be held in Budapest, Hungary, in October 2011. The Workshop will be a full day event. Continuing the great success of the previous events, WMCNT 2011 Workshop is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Overview Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility. The aim of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2011) is to provide an international venue for the discussion of architecture, design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous computing environments. WMCNT 2011 will serve as an open forum, where novel ideas will be exchanged via bringing together researchers, developers and engineers in both academia and industry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Topics Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: • QoS and Resource Allocation in Wireless/Mobile Networks • Radio Resource Management • Resource Allocation and Game Theory • Mobility Management and Billing Technologies in Wireless Networks • Mobile/Wireless Networks Modeling and Simulation • Heterogeneous Wireless Networks • Wired-Wireless Integration • End-to-End QoS • Protocols and Architecture for Wireless/ Mobile Networks • Security, Scalability, Reliability and Robustness in Wireless/Mobile Networks • Physical Security • Transport Layer Issues in Mobile and Wireless Networks • Cross-layer Issues • Wireless Access Techniques • Wireless Propagation and Channel Modeling • Wireless Communication Networks and Systems • Wireless System Services and Applications • Wireless / Mobile Internet • 2G - 3G - 4G Migration, Convergence and Interworking • WiFi, WiMAX, 3GPP LTE • OFDM and OFDMA Systems • Wireless LAN/PAN/BAN • Wireless Mesh Networks • Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks • Cognitive Radio Networks • Sensor Networks Technologies and Protocols • Mobile Social Networks • 3G, 4G, and beyond System • Spectrum Sensing and Signal Parameters Estimation • Experimental Systems and Field Trials • Planning and Standardization • Systems Interoperability • Reliable Broadcast/Multicast Wireless Technologies for Multimedia Applications • Performance Evaluation of New Wireless Standards for High-Quality Entertainment Environments ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Proceedings Prospective authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of computer networking and wireless communications.

Dear Sirs, please let me draw your attention to the call for papers for the new issue of IJARAS -- the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems: ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* *** Vol.3 No.2 *** SUBMISSION DUE DATE: May 20, 2011 International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS)Official publication of the Information ResourcesManagement Associationwww.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief:Vincenzo De Florio, Ph.D. - University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgiumvincenzo.deflorio(a)gmail.com Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board:- Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS & IBBT, Belgium- Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy- Llorenc Cerda-Alabern - Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya - Spain- Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples- Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy- Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland- Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil- Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy- Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland- Konrad Klockner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany- Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy- Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia- Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany- Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy- Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK- Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium- Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS:Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction---athesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems. SUBMITTING TO IJARAS:Prospective authors should note that only originaland previously unpublished articles will beconsidered.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks
by Lars Wolf 18 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:36:32 +0300 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> Antwort an: konstant(a)unipi.gr An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Scope A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: § Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks § Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks § Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors § Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks § Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks § Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage § Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks § Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime § Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks § Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks § Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks § Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Ten tative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos Department of Informatics University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Dipartimento di Informatica, Elettronica e Sistemistica Università di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) 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: Reactive WSN" when they reach the Article Type step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
