-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] [WNM 2011] IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements 2011, Oct4-7 2011 Bonn, Germany Datum: Sat, 16 Apr 2011 11:44:48 -0700 Von: Tarun Banka (tabanka) <tabanka(a)cisco.com> An: undisclosed-recipients:; Our sincere apologies for any duplication, if you have already received it through other channels. Call for Papers: IEEE WNM 2011 Sixth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements in conjunction with the 36th IEEE Local Computer Networks (LCN) http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN_WNM2011/WNM2011.htm 4-7 October 2011 Hilton Hotel Bonn, Germany The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN). The workshop will include papers and panels dealing with latest advances and challenges facing the field. The expected audience will include networking researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry, academia and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance. The first five IEEE LCN Workshops on Network Measurements were very successful in bringing together a set of participants actively working on network measurements in various domains. We will continue to address network measurements from different perspectives and different domains. Topics of Interest: Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is important for understanding the behavior of networks and for evaluating the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Cross-layer designs, and overlay protocols often rely on measurements. Measurements in wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and subnet measurements face domain specific constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in performing measurement itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in network measurements to discuss and exchange measurement related research in both wireless and wired domains, and also explore emerging fields of measurements such as on mobile devices. High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics including, but not limited to: Measurements on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless networks Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds Mobility models and traffic patterns Wired and wireless domain measurements Measurement tools, benchmarks and data sets Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation Active and passive measurements at core nodes End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the Internet Metrics for network characterization Measurements on Mobile devices Applications and protocols relying on network measurements Paper length should not exceed 8 pages.

Fwd: Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Information-Centric Networking
by Lars Wolf 15 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:11:04 +0200 Von: <prosper.chemouil(a)orange-ftgroup.com> An: <itc(a)COMSOC.ORG> Call for Papers ***IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on* ***Information-Centric Networking* *//**/Background and motivation/* Information-Centric Networking (ICN) marks a fundamental shift in communications and networking. ICN focuses on finding and transmitting information to end users instead of connecting end hosts that exchange information. The key concepts are expected to have a huge impact on the familiar textbook protocol stack, in network architecture in general, and will create new opportunities for all associated stakeholders including equipment vendors, network operators, service and content providers, and above all end-users. *//**/Scope and Objectives /* Information-centric networking is to succeed only if it can to provide clearly superior solutions to well-known problems in the current generation of all-IP networks and can be introduced to general usage incrementally. We invite authors to consider the following aspects with respect to information-centric networks: · Naming & addressing: there is currently a strong association between content naming and addressing. Information-centric networking aims to introduce new ways foridentifying content in a location-independent manner. What breakthroughs in naming and addressing will make ICN scalable when faced with a global network of billions of devices and zettabytes of available content? · Protocol stack: the original TCP/IP protocol stack was neat and simple. Today’s stack is arguably neither having been extended through patchwork over several decades. Can ICN simplify things? · Network architecture: ICN is expected to have a profound effect on network architecture as storage capacity becomes an integral element of all network nodes. What does an ICN network architecture look like? · Management: resource/mobility/multihoming management are add-ons to the current architecture. With ICN we have the opportunity to include support for all these aspects right from the start. What are the essential characteristics of a complete management framework that is scalable, flexible, and suitable for ICN? · Caching: Information-centric networking is an in-network process that relies on content storage in the network so as to efficiently access popular content, alleviate flash-crowd effects, improve the end-user quality of experience, and increase network efficiency. This raises new issues to be addressed such as buffer management and caching policy. · Energy efficiency: battery-powered devices abound and will dominate in the future as the primary means for connecting to the Internet. At the same time, there is a strong drive for energy-efficient networking from core networks to access networks,and from data centers to home media centers. ICN has more leverage to make tradeoffs between storage/computation/communication—will ICN pave the way to a holistic energy efficient operation? · Internet of Things (IoT): as the physical world is more and more connected to the digital world through a multitude of sensors and actuators, the current host-centric approach followed in IP networks, typically requiring synchronous, always on, end-to-end connections stretches beyond its capacity to deliver, introducing further inefficiencies. How does ICN scale in the scenarios envisioned for the IoT and how does it compare with current IP-based IoT solutions? · Security and trust is established today through the use of third parties in an end-to-end manner. Synchronous three-way, end-to-end connectivity is a prerequisite, and it does not guarantee provenance. Can ICN foster the development of a more secure and trusted global communications infrastructure? · Business models in the Internet are established between providers according to peering agreements. The new ICN paradigm based on in-network caching may impact the current relationships between players. Which business models could foster a fair relationship between content producers, content providers and service/network providers? Submitted articles do not need to cover all these aspects but should strive to clearly contrast the ICN approach with the current TCP/IP-based state of affairs. Prospective authors should describe the key concepts, design, implementation, and evaluation of ICN proposals. Articles that demonstrate the feasibility of groundbreaking approaches through testbed/experimental results are particularly welcome. Topics of particular interest include: · Naming and name resolution in ICN · Information/service discovery in ICN · Flow and congestion control in ICN · Routing and forwarding in ICN · Caching an buffer management in ICN · Security, self-certification, privacy and trust in information-centric networks · QoS/QoE in ICN · ICN over heterogeneous networks · Network programming and APIs for ICN · Scalability and Performance · Empirical evaluations of ICN protocol stacks · Use cases · Business models *//**/Submission/* We invite authors to submit articles reporting original, previously unpublished research work on information-centric networking. Articles must be tutorial in nature, accessible to a wide audience in the communications technology community. Articles shouldbe limited to approximately 4500 words, and include no more than a combined total of 6 tables and figures. References should also be limited to no more than 15. Authors can find the complete article guidelines at http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html.

Different research methods may yield contradictory findings, design solutions may not account for critical socio-cultural factors or afford adequate usability, and management policies may not have the flexibility that mobile users require. This workshop is organised with the support of the PRiMMA<http://primma.open.ac.uk/> Project and aims to promote an open exchange between researchers investigating privacy management issues in mobile applications. It will provide an exciting opportunity for researchers to discuss and evaluate research approaches and achievements within the field. In particular, we invite authors to submit extended abstracts addressing one or more of the following key areas: · Privacy research methods for mobile systems · Design solutions to address user privacy in mobile systems · Policy-based privacy management Topics may include but are not restricted to: o Empirical studies of mobile privacy users and systems o Methods and techniques for eliciting and analysing mobile privacy requirements o User evaluation of privacy-enabled mobile interactive technologies o Machine learning approaches to mobile privacy management o Usability issues in the design of privacy-enabled mobile systems o Privacy policies for mobile applications o Online presence and privacy management o Privacy aware adaptive systems o Mobile privacy and social relations Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the workshop Programme Committee. Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop and then published both on the PRiMMA<http://primma.open.ac.uk/> website and conference’s workshop proceedings.

However, as such networks become increasingly complex, performance modelling and evaluation will play crucial part in their design process to ensure their successful deployment and exploitation in practice. This symposium aims to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks with a specific emphasis on their performance evaluation and analysis. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Predictive performance models of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks * Spectrum agile and cognitive wireless sensor networks * Analysis of multimedia applications over wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks * Support of multimedia and streaming applications in VANET * Analytical modeling and simulation methods * Probabilistic models for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks * Queuing and network information theoretic analysis * Tracing and trace analysis * Software tools for network performance and evaluation * Automatic performance analysis * Continuity of service over heterogeneous networks, seamless connectivity * Security and privacy in ad hoc networks and ubiquitous networks * Performance of wireless and sensor devices * Mobility modeling and management * Traffic models for ad hoc, sensor networks * Performance evaluation of wireless mesh networks * Performance evaluation of pervasive and ubiquitous networks * Network performance improvement through optimization and tuning * Performance measurement, evaluation and monitoring tools for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks * Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in the design of ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks General Chair ----------------- Isabelle Guérin Lassous Université Lyon I/LIP, France Isabelle.Guerin-Lassous(a)ens-lyon.fr [2] Co-Chairs ----------------- Mónica Aguilar Igartua Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Spain maguilar(a)entel.upc.edu [3] Francesca Cuomo SAPIENZA Università di Roma, Italy francesca.cuomo(a)uniroma1.it [4] Poster/Demo/Tools Chairs ----------------- Andrea Vitaletti SAPIENZA Università di Roma, Italy andrea.vitaletti(a)dis.uniroma1.it [5] Publicity Chair ----------------- Carolina Tripp Barba Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Spain ctripp(a)entel.upc.edu [6] Program Committee Members ----------------- http://sertel.upc.edu/pe-wasun11/committees.html [7] **************** Paper Submission **************** Authors are required to submit their papers through EasyChair on the following link: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=pewasun2011 [8] The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the Symposium.
