Call for Papers: Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" - Elsevier FGCS
by Mario Fanelli 10 May '11

10 May '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/future Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality because of 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). At the current stage, after the initial hype of enthusiasm, several ongoing research efforts are deeply focusing on the 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 enable and boost a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite several recent provisioning of Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions can withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services de/activation 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 mission of this Special Issue is to put on the foreground all the above issues and to disseminate the latest research result in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in management of Cloud systems. Along that direction, this special issue will collect a mix of extended and updated versions of papers recently presented at the international Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011), and of other papers submitted from this open call. In particular, all the authors of papers accepted for inclusion in the MoCS’11 proceedings are invited to submit extended versions of their workshop papers; in addition, we are asking for high-quality papers (from open call) reporting original research results. Contributions should present practical experiences of system design/prototy- ping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost- effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centers (intra-/inter-domain); * 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; * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings. Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/ find/journaldescription.cws_home/505611/authorinstructions Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has been published in a conference, including MoCS’11, the submitted version should contain significant additions/enhancements; in that case, authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Potential authors are encouraged to submit original and unpublished work through the submission system at the journal website: http://ees.elsevier.com /fgcs/.

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks may also be found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. We solicit papers addressing the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and emergency management, vehicular networks, ...) - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Important dates: --------------------- Abstract Registration: 6 May 2011 NEW deadline: 9 May 2011 Submission Deadline: 13 May 2011 NEW deadline: 18 May 2011 Acceptance notification: 28 June 2011 We look forward to receiving your submission, -- Ahmed Helmy and Franck Legendre Chants'11 TPC Co-Chairs_____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Suitable architectures must be identified for communication, security, billing, accounting, etc. Moreover, adequate solutions should be designed to make the communication secure (authentication, encryption, etc.). The networks that we foresee for IoT are no longer bound to be sensor islands and diverse physical layer technologies and processing capabilities may differ across the nodes composing a IoT. The application scenarios for IoT are extremely appealing and with a strong potential for societal impact, ranging from smart buildings to smart energy grids, where structures can be controlled for energy frugality, while guaranteeing good performance in terms of comfort, security, etc. Major researches as well as industrial efforts are currently ongoing for all these issues. However, most of them remain open areas of research. TOPICS OF INTEREST * Reference and Concrete Architectures for the Internet of Things. * Service frameworks for the Internet of Things. * New communication paradigms for the Internet of Things. * Security approaches for the Internet of Things. * Security primitives and protocols for embedded and constrained communication devices. * Protocol stacks for the communication (e.g., IETF RPL) and the interoperability of IoT devices. * Improvements to standard protocols for the IoT domain. * Technologies for the native IPv6 interoperability of constrained communication devices (e.g., 6LowPAN). * RESTful communication approaches for energy constrained communication devices. * Lightweight approaches for the description of sensor data (e.g., EXI). * Lightweight transport protocols for constrained communication devices. * Enabling technologies for capturing and handling real-world events and information. * Lightweight signal processing technologies for data analysis and prediction. * Distributed data compression, approximation and recovery of distributed sensor data. * Privacy enhancing techniques for handling sensory and contextual information. * Virtualization of Wireless Sensors or clusters of sensors. * Hardware architectures for smart communicating objects (e.g., IEEE 802.15.4e). * Simulators for the Internet of Things. * Solutions for trust and security. IMPORTANT DATES Submission of research papers due: June 26, 2011 Notification of acceptance: 2011 Camera-ready papers due: 2011 PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be submitted by using the EDAS conference management system ([2]http://edas.info/ [3]). Conference language is English. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the full paper, with all fonts embedded, using the ACM conference proceedings format.

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 International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom 2011) 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.
