Opportunistic Networking is one of the emerging communication paradigms in wireless mobile communications. Opportunistic networks are commonly defined as a type of networks where communication is challenged by sporadic and intermittent contacts as well as frequent disconnections and reconnections, and where the assumption of the existence of an end-to-end path between the source and the destination is relinquished. The aim of MobiOpp 2012 is to provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and engineers to present their latest research in the field of mobile opportunistic networking. In particular, MobiOpp 2012 strongly encourages submissions of experimental work. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Opportunistic, Delay-tolerant and Hybrid Networks - Mobile Urban Sensing and Crowdsensing - Novel Architectures, Middleware, Prototypes and Testbeds - Routing, Dissemination and Caching in Opportunistic Networks - Analysis of Opportunistic Protocols - Security, Trust, Privacy and Cooperation in Opportunistic Networks - Social-aware Opportunistic Networking - Anti-censorship/surveillance opportunistic communications - Opportunistic Applications (e.g., opportunistic social networking, disaster and emergency situations, healthcare, communication in remote regions) - Mobility models for opportunistic networks Submitted papers should be novel and should not be currently under review, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form. We accept paper submissions of **8 pages** and demo and poster abstracts of 2 pages at http://edas.info/N11119 . Further formatting requirements are available on the website. The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. MobiOpp 2012 is also featured on social networks.

Call for Papers: Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" - Elsevier FGCS
by Mario Fanelli 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '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 MoCS11 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 MoCS11, 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/. Please choose the Article Type SS: Cloud Systems Corradi/Rana. If you encounter any problems in the use of the online system, please do not hesitate to contact authorsupport(a)elsevier.com.

MobiSys seeks original papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. If you have any questions regarding relevance or other submission-related issues, please contact the program chairs at mobisys_pcchairs(a)acm.org <mailto:mobisys_pcchairs@acm.org> Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Experience with mobile applications, networks and systems • Innovative mobile and mobile sensing applications • Tools for building and measuring mobile systems • Software architectures for mobile devices • Infrastructure support for node mobility • System-level energy management for mobile devices • Data management for mobile applications • Operating systems for mobile devices • Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web • Security and privacy in mobile systems • Wearable computing and innovative mobile devices • Systems for location and context sensing and awareness • Mobile computing support for pervasive computing • Vehicular wireless systems • User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems • Personal-area networks and systems • Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile systems Papers on work that is currently under review, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form, must not be submitted to MobiSys. Submission of a longer version of a published, not just accepted, workshop paper is encouraged if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As is customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review process. ***Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing.*** Submissions should be full papers, up to 14 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point and single-spaced. Papers may use the standard ACM template, available at: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2009/sig-alternate-10pt.cls. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Papers may be conditionally accepted and shepherded by a member of the program committee, with final acceptance determined by consent of the shepherd. Important Dates --------------------------------------------------------------- - Abstract registration: Friday, December 9, 2011 (9:00 PM PST) - Submission deadline: Friday, December 16, 2011 (9:00 PM PST) - Notification of acceptance: March 5th, 2012 - Camera-ready version due:TBD --------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: These are hard deadlines.

Fwd: HotMobile 2012 - Call for Papers - Submission Deadline

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: HotMobile 2012 - Call for Papers - Submission Deadline Datum: Sun, 18 Sep 2011 10:00:55 -0400 Von: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> Antwort an: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG *** Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** *** Paper submission deadline is Oct 7^th , 2011 *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 13th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (HotMobile 2012) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ February, 2012 San Diego, CA, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2012/ ACM HotMobile 2012, the Thirteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: • Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing • Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices • Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility • HCI issues related to mobile computing • Security and privacy of mobile computing • Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2012 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website.
