The twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to the topic. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial communication, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Quality of cloud services and cloud computing * Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy * System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; * Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation * Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware * QoS parsing, identification and control * Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification * Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management * Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * Energy awareness in communication systems * Design for the Future Internet PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ------------------------------------------------ IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Paper submission deadline: Feb. 8, 2012 Notification of acceptance: April 5, 2012 Camera-ready papers: April 23, 2012 Conference dates: June 4-5, 2012 GENERAL CO-CHAIRS -------------------------------- Fernando Boavida, University of Coimbra, Portugal Marilia Curado, University of Coimbra, Portugal TCP CO-CHAIRS ------------------------ Torsten Braun, University of Bern, Switzerland Edmundo Monteiro, University of Coimbra, Portugal STEERING COMMITTEE ---------------------------------- Georgios Karagiannis, University of Twente, Netherlands Gunnar Karlsson, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Shigang Chen, University of Florida-Gainesville, USA Srihari Nelakuditi, University of South Carolina-Columbia, USA Bin Liu, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China Chunming Qiao, University at Buffalo, NY USA _____________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the MM-INTEREST list, click the following link: http://listserv.acm.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ACMLPX.EXE?SUBED1=MM-INTEREST&A=1

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] IEEE Communications Magazine feature topic on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 11:36:58 +0100 Von: George Pavlou <g.pavlou(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> Antwort an: admmyc(a)gmail.com An: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on INFORMATION-CENTRIC NETWORKING 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: 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: Can ICN deliver a neat and simple protocol stack? * Network architecture: What does a ICN network architecture look like? * Management: What are the essential characteristics of a complete management framework that is scalable, flexible, and suitable for ICN? * Caching: New issues to be addressed such as buffer management and caching policy. * Energy efficiency: Will ICN pave the way to a holistic energy efficient operation? * Internet of Things (IoT): How does ICN scale in the scenarios envisioned for the IoT and how does it compare with current IP-based IoT solutions? * Security: Can ICN foster the development of a more secure and trusted global communications infrastructure? * 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. We invite authors to submit articles reporting original, previously unpublished research work on information-centric networking. Authors can find article guidelines at http://dl.comsoc.org/ci1/info/cfp/cfpcommag0712.htm. Submission Schedule * Submission Deadline: November 1, 2011 * Notification of Acceptance: February 29, 2012 * Final Manuscript Due: May 1, 2012 * Publication Date: July 2012 Feature Topic Editors Dr. Kostas Pentikousis Huawei Technologies European Research Centre Email: k.pentikousis(a)huawei.com Dr. Prosper Chemouil Orange Labs Email: prosper.chemouil(a)orange-ftgroup.com Dr. Kathleen Nichols Pollere Inc Email: nichols(a)pollere.net Prof. George Pavlou University College London, Dept. of Electronic & Electrical Engineering Email: g.pavlou(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk Prof. Dan Massey Colorado State University Email: massey(a)cs.colostate.edu _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br http://mailman.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (May 2012)
by Lars Wolf 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (May 2012) Datum: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 09:49:56 +0900 (KST) Von: Jung Min Park<millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ======================================= Call for Papers Special Issue on "Machine and Robotic Networking" IEEE Network Magazine =================================================== The advances in communication networking technologies have been very successful in academia, industry and consumer markets. “Being connected” becomes an essential part of our daily life. Recently, we have been also observing that the communication distance between transmitters and receivers shrinks in many commercial applications. This includes sensor/RFID networks, WiFi and near field communication (NFC) devices. Such shortened distance is mostly caused by the high volume of data demand of users. One other reason is that the modern communications is not any more for human-to-human (H2H) information exchange only but also for machine-to-machine (M2M) or machine-to-human (M2H). The inter-machine distance will be gradually decreasing in many upcoming applications. This trend adds complexity to the communication protocols with very high node density and unpredictable interference in particular in wireless networks. The machine in M2M or M2H refers to various devices from remote metering modules to vehicles or small networked robots with communication functions embedded. M2M applications and use cases currently under consideration by ETSI, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and IEEE are mainly focused on stationary nodes (machines) or at least control of node mobility is out of scope of M2M applications. However, the controllable node mobility willconstitute a core part of M2M communications. Robotic networks will belong to this class of M2M, where the position of nodes can be changed to meet the needs of M2M applications. Independently, in the automatic control and robotics community, there has been special interest in connecting multiple robots for effectively achieving the common mission of a group of autonomous robots. This area is known as networked robotics. The main background of this approach is that connecting robots with less intelligence would be more beneficial than a single isolated robot with full intelligence. In particular, there have been a group of researchers focusing on the behaviours of small animals to mimic their grouping patterns such as group navigation and communications. This special issue is dedicated to fundamentals and applications in the machine and robotic networks. The main emphasis is to introduce and to open new research horizon to the networking researchers. Those who are currently investigating protocols for inter-machine data exchange or designing a group of networked machines (including robots) are potential authors for this special issue. The comprehensive survey and forecasting of this inter-disciplinary area with deep insight on research challenges and business opportunities are also seriously considered. The special issue encourages authors to submit their papers on the specific areas, which are not strictly limited to the followings, though: · Networking protocol design for machine and robotic networks · Distributed algorithm design for machine and robotic networks · Resource management for machine and robotic networks · Networked robots with special emphasis on networking and distributed computing · Capacity issues in machine and robotic networks · Mobility issues in machine and robotic networks · Cognitive machine and robotic networks · Bio-inspired networking in robotics · Design and application issues in M2M and networked robots · Business models and use cases for M2M and networked robots The interested authors are expected to submit their papers confirming to the guidelines ofIEEENetwork, http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html according to the following schedule: All paper processing will be through an online system, which will be announced later. In the mean time, you may contact the guest editors. · Paper submissions: October 15, 2011 · Notifications to authors: January 15, 2012 · Final manuscripts: March 1, 2012 · Publication of special issue: May 2012 Guest Editors Seong-Lyun Kim Yonsei University, Korea slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr Dapeng Oliver Wu University of Florida, USA wu(a)ece.ufl.edu Klaus Schilling Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg, Germany schi(a)informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de for(i=0;i<document.links.length;i++){try{if(document.links[i].toString().indexOf('javascript') < 0) document.links[i].target='_blank';}catch(e){}}try{setTimeout(function(){parent.view.resizeIframe(document.body.scrollWidth, document.body.scrollHeight);},200);}catch(e){} _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

They have a considerable engineering, commercial and societal impact and pose numerous challenges to designers. One class of issues is the continuous offering of services in spite of various types of failures that are everyday events in networks. The increasing complexity, the participation of many different autonomous entities in the service provision, the lack of information, coordinated actions as well as governance makes this challenge increasingly difficult. In addition to a design of reliable network segments, server clusters etc., new technological issues like stability and failure management across heterogeneous autonomous systems arise. They also involve novel fields at the border of technology, business and society, like risk-awareness or influence of public policy. The goal of this issue is to present state of the art research contributions that focus on the reliable network-based services (RNS) provisioning. Contributions are invited from prospective authors with interests in the indicated special issue topics and related areas of application.

Being one of the lead- ing international conferences in this area, the European Confer- ence on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN) has played a substantial role in the dissemination of innovative ideas from researchers all over the globe. For EWSN 2012, the ninth meeting in this se- ries, we invite papers describing original, previously unpub- lished research results pertaining to wireless sensor networks, broadly conceived. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware Design and Implementation * Operating Systems * Programming Abstractions and Tools * Communication and Network Protocols * Information and Signal Processing * Security and Fault-Tolerance * Prototypes, Field Experiments, Testbeds * Fundamental Theoretical Limits and Algorithms * Novel Applications * Cooperating Objects and their Applications PAPER SUBMISSION This highly selective conference will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the names of authors and their affiliations are unknown to reviewers until the end of the review process and are not mentioned in the paper. Papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS at http://edas.info. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and are not to exceed 16 pages, including text, figures and references. We require that submissions conform to the LNCS style (www.springer.com/lncs), as the proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lec- ture Notes in Computer Science series.
