-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ExtremeCom 2011; The 3rd Extreme Conference on Communication - The Amazon Expedition Datum: Fri, 8 Apr 2011 10:53:23 +0200 Von: Anders Lindgren <dugdale(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu * Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP * ***************************************************************************** Call for Papers and Demos for The 3rd Extreme Conference on Communication - The Amazon Expedition (ExtremeCom 2011) http://extremecom.org/ The Extreme Conference on Communication (ExtremeCom) intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas related to delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms for rural and remote areas, in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, and ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, we now offer ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition. In this edition, we aim to explore the challenges of the deep Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. Located 21 miles (34 km) from Manaus. The chosen spot is known as Praia do Tupé (Tupé beach), a beautiful and remote beach accessed only by boat through the waters of the Black River. The population is composed by natives living in little communities spread around the jungle and also on the river shore. These people experience constant communication interruptions and most of them do not have any access to the Internet, which makes this area a great field of experiments to DTN systems. Hosted by Federal University Of Amazonas (UFAM) the conference will start with 3 days of immersion into the jungle where the conference participants will aid in setting up and deploying an extension of a DTN system in this area in order to provide connectivity to a new community. During this time the participants will have the chance to hike around the trails, interact with the locals and also know some natural phenomenons like the “meeting of the waters”, where the black waters of the Negro River meet the brown waters of the Solimões River, flowing side by side without mixing for about 9 km. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such a system, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the “field experience”, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos in a more traditional conference venue at UFAM's facilities in Manaus. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Networked applications and services Due to logistics and the need to conduct the conference in harmony with the local population and the environment, the number of participants may be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers. ***************************************************************************** Important dates --------------- Conference dates: September 26-30, 2011 Field experience and network deployment: September 26-28 Technical sessions: September 29-30 Submission deadline: June 6, 2011 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2011 ***************************************************************************** Organizers ---------- General co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Local arrangement committee: Edjair Mota, UFAM, Brazil JB Pinto Neto, UFAM, Brazil Alfredo Gold, University of Sao Paolo, Brazil Aline Carneiro Viara Iannonne, TU Berlin, Germany / INRIA, France Publicity chair: TBC Sponsorship chair: TBC Publication chair: TBC Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St. Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Yahel Ben-David, University of California - Berkeley, USA Elwyn Davies, Folly Consulting, UK Avri Doria, US Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Jörg Ott, TKK, Helsinki, Finland Aaditeshwar Seth, IIT Delhi, India more to be confirmed Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden ***************************************************************************** _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] KuVS Fachgespräch 'Simulation and Prototyping Environments for Mobile/Wireless Research' -- Juli 2011 -- RWTH Aachen Datum: Thu, 07 Apr 2011 09:57:02 +0200 Von: James Gross <gross(a)umic.rwth-aachen.de> An: elg(a)kuvs.de Liebe Kollegen, nachfolgend ein Call for Contributions zu einem Fachgespräch, dass wir im Juli hier in Aachen organisieren. Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn Sie diesen Call an interessierte Doktoranden weiterleiten könnten und Sie sich im Juli beteiligen würden. Stichtag für die Anmeldung von Beiträgen ist der 31.5.2011. Mit freundlichen Grüssen aus Aachen, James Gross 36th Meeting of VDE/ITG Working Group 5.2.4 Mobilität in IP-basierten Netzen / Mobility in IP-based networks & 1st GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Simulation and Prototyping Environments for Mobile / Wireless Research July 13th and 14th, 2011 / UMIC Research Centre / RWTH Aachen http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/events/simulation-and-prototyping-env… During the last 5 years the mobile/wireless networking research community has witnessed a vast improvement in the design and availability of tools to evaluate architectures and algorithms for mobile communication systems. On the one hand this relates to network simulations, where entirely new tools (like ns-3) have been released while existing ones have been continuously improved regarding model availability, parallelization and emulation capabilities. On the other hand, more and more prototyping platforms are available which allow the real-world evaluation of new approaches not only in the domain of sensor networks (where test networks like TWIST are available), but also for more advanced concepts like MANETS, VANETS, mesh and LTE networks (by means of prototyping platforms like WARP, GNU radio, CALradio or OPENAIRinterface.org ). While this diversity is quite beneficial for the research community in general, it is increasingly difficult to choose the appropriate tool for an evaluation study in the domain of wireless/mobile networks. Apart from the basic requirement of being aware of a tool, its capabilities and its availability are crucial factors that determine the choice. The objective of this workshop is to provide an overview of this highly dynamic field. We intend to bring together stakeholders from telecom operators, manufacturers, standardization and academia to discuss the state-of-the-art, usability and availability of simulations and prototyping environments. Contributions of particular interest include, but are not limited to * General simulation / prototyping tools for mobile/wireless networks * Specialized simulation models / frameworks (link/system/protocol level) * Scalability of simulation models and parallel network simulation * Emulation tools/models and hybrid simulation * Software for prototyping environments * Recent research results either from novel simulation models or from prototyping environments emphasizing the value of the tool * Demonstrations of simulation and prototyping tools The open workshop will take place on July 14th at the UMIC Research Centre of RWTH Aachen University. In the afternoon of July 13th the UMIC Research Centre organizes a day of the open house where all participants are invited as well. Please inform the workshop organizers about your planned contribution by *May 31st*. Contributions are typically presentations of 10 to 20 minutes length.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for papers: 4th Intl. Workshop on Dependable Network Computing & Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2011) Datum: Wed, 6 Apr 2011 17:02:29 -0400 (EDT) Von: iwoungan(a)scs.ryerson.ca An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS 4th International Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2011), to be held in conjunction with SRDS 2011 October 4, 2011, Madrid, Spain Web site: http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/DNCMS2011/ 1. Scope Due to the strong growth in mobile devices, networked embedded systems, wireless sensors, and the ever increasing information 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. 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 and 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 2. Paper submission Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages, papers on evolving research and work in progress should be no longer than 5 pages, following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings. The font size must be no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches). All the submissions should be made through EasyChair. The submission page for DNCMS 2011 is: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dncms2011 In order to submit your paper, you must first create an EasyChair account if you do not have one already, using https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi. The EasyChair system will then e-mail you your password. Then you can login to EasyChair using the password you have received by email. Accepted papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and distributed at the Symposium, provided that at least one of its authors registers by the early registration deadline. The papers will also be made available online from the Workshop web pages. 3.
