-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Workshop on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:15:25 -0800 Von: Ryuji Wakikawa <ryuji.wakikawa(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================== Information-Centric Networking Helsinki, Finland (August 17, 2012) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/icn.php ====================================================================== The rapid development of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) concepts in the last few years is one of the significant results from multiple international Future Internet research activities. Based on the ICN concepts, the principal communication paradigm is no longer end-to-end data delivery between hosts as in the current Internet architecture. Instead, ICN-based network architectures focus directly on retrieving information objects securely, reliably, scalably, and efficiently. These architectural design efforts aim to directly address the network challenges that arise from the increasing demand for highly scalable content distribution, from accelerated growths of mobile devices, and from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT). The resulting network architectures are expected to leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through replication and interaction models to provide effective and efficient data distribution in the communication services, and to provide effective solutions in securing the network infrastructure as well as user data. Call for Papers This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric Networking architecture topics, specific algorithms and protocols, as well as on results from implementations and experimentation. - Topics • Naming and addressing • Routing and name resolution • Routing and name resolution scalability • Support for mobility • Support for / avoidance of middle boxes • Models and/or compensation schemes for user contribution to network resources (bandwidth, storage for caching, battery, processing, name resolution, etc.) • Resource management (caching strategies, congestion control) • Security, privacy and trust • Testbeds and simulations frameworks • Metadata and network extensions • Real-time traffic over ICN (voice, video, etc) • PDUs, fragmentation and "packet size" implications on design • Should ICN be an overlay or an underlay? • Performance evaluation • Inter-domain operations (protocols, policies, etc.) • Limitations of ICNs - Submission Instructions All submissions must be original work that has not been submitted to any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress and ongoing experiments. Papers describing practical experiments are especially invited. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be in PDF format. Reviews will be single-blind: please include authors name and affiliation in the submission Submissions must follow the SIGCOMM formatting guidelines that will be posted at athttp://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/cfp.php.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Workshop on Hot Topics in Software Defined Networking (HotSDN) Datum: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:11:17 -0800 Von: Ryuji Wakikawa <ryuji.wakikawa(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================== Hot Topics in Software Defined Networking (HotSDN) Helsinki, Finland (August 13, 2012) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/hotsdn.php ====================================================================== Call for Papers Software Defined Networking (SDN) refactors the relationship between network devices and the software that controls them. Open interfaces to network switches enable more flexible and predictable network control, and they make it easier to extend network function. During the past few years, several router vendors have introduced software development kits for programming their network devices, and several commercial switches now support the emerging OpenFlow standard. Researchers have proposed new applications that can run on top of a software defined network, including dynamic access control, server load balancing, energy-efficient networking, and seamless client mobility and virtual-machine migration. Many research and industry groups worldwide are pursuing different aspects of software defined networking, and experimental and production deployments exist. Still, many important research challenges remain: how to design switches and APIs that offer greater flexibility without compromising performance; how to design a software platform for the control and management of software defined networks; how to design new applications that capitalize on the programmability of the network; how to lower the barrier to creating, testing, and evaluating new applications; how to transition an existing network to SDN, and how a software defined network can interoperate with existing protocols and devices; and many others. The goal of the workshop is to explore recent research and developments related to SDN; to allow an exchange of ideas; to encourage broad interaction between industry and academia; and to help build a wider community to explore and realize the potential of SDN. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on Software Defined Networking. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: • Applications of SDN in home, wireless, cellular, enterprise, data-center, and backbone networks • Application of SDN to network management, performance monitoring, security, etc. • Virtual appliances (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection systems, load balancers, etc.) on SDN • Virtualization support in software-defined networks • Switch designs for SDN • Application Programming Interfaces for SDN • Control and management software stack for SDN • Programming languages, verification techniques, and tools for SDN • Performance evaluation of SDN network elements and controllers • Experiences deploying SDN technology and applications in operational networks • Hybrid SDN approaches (integration with other control planes) • Transitioning existing networks to SDN • Placement and factoring of SDN control logic - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted via thesubmission site. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. - Important Dates Submissions due April 6, 2012, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of acceptance May 25, 2012 Camera ready version due June 15, 2012 Workshop date August 13, 2012 Please email the program chairs with any questions you may have. - Organizers Program Committee Co-Chairs Nick Feamster (Georgia Tech) Jennifer Rexford (Princeton) Program Committee Members Katerina Argyraki (EPFL) Jun Bi (Tsinghua University) Marco Canini (EPFL) Martin Casado (Nicira) Anja Feldmann (T-Labs/TU Berlin) Nate Foster (Cornell) Yashar Ganjali (U.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Workshop on Cellular Networks: Operations, Challenges, and Future Design (CellNet) Datum: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:07:39 -0800 Von: Ryuji Wakikawa <ryuji.wakikawa(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================== Cellular Networks: Operations, Challenges, and Future Design (CellNet) Helsinki, Finland (Monday August 13, 2012) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/cellnet.php ====================================================================== Call for Papers With the popularity of smart phones and tablets, we are living in an increasingly mobile world. Third-party mobile applications such as Apple Siri, iCloud, and Yelp are rapidly growing everyday and greatly enrich our lives. The eco-system for mobile applications is vibrant and conducive to open innovation. Even one of the most popular mobile OS -- Android operation system is open source. This allows many phone and tablet vendors to innovate on the hardware and firmware. Underpinning this mobile world, it is the cellular networks. Unfortunately, the cellular networks present a rather disheartening picture. They are closed, mostly proprietary, and constructed using closed monolithic equipments. The innovation is limited to a very small number of equipment vendors, not open to the general research community. As a result, cellular networks are prone to outages, dropped calls, performance problems, and hard to manage. The closed nature of cellular networks threatens to derail the mobile revolution or limit its true potential. Research innovation in mobile cellular networks is hampered by the fact that most academic researchers have no access to cellular radios, source codes of cellular network equipments, cellular network management tools, and realistic network traces at scale. As a result, most wireless research is conducted using WiFi. We believe this situation much change. To effect change, this workshop brings network operators, and academic researchers together to address the problems. First, we would like academic researchers to understand operational aspects of cellular network. Second, we would like researchers from academia and industry to jointly identify the challenges, and propose future designs so that cellular networks can evolve to meet the growing challenges of a mobile world. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on cellular networks. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: • Operation aspects: • Radio resource allocation and usage profiling • Cellular network architecture characterization • Understanding and modeling cellular data traffic • Cellular network security • Challenges facing today's cellular networks: • Cellular network management • Mobility • Energy efficiency • Spectrum shortage • Future cellular network design: • Architectures • Protocols • Algorithms • Security and privacy - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted via thesubmission site. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop.

Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the > development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive > fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by > relying on an individuals hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must > face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of > challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce > resources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable environmental > influences, and the large size of the network further add to the > difficulties. In the WSN community there is a growing awareness of the need > for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify the development > task and increase the confidence in the correctness and performance of the > resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not > only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, > dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very > little attention by the SE community. > > SESENA12 aims to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN > communities, not only to exchange recent research results on the topic, but > also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a > shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and > position statements. The former will foster in depth technical discussions of > novel results with an audience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The > latter will provide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative > views, or previously unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. SESENA12 will > also host two special sessions: (i) a "speakers’ corner" composed of impromptu > presentations where attendees (including those without accepted papers) will > have the opportunity to present their own views in very short segments (e.g., > 2-4 minutes), and (ii) a session dedicated to the VISION project, an FP7 ERC > Starting Grant focusing on developing an innovative infrastructure for > real-time sensing services. In the latter session, the intermediate project > results will be presented with the dual goal of sharing the uniqueness of the > ERC-style grants and discussing technical elements to identify possible future > collaborations. > > Topics of interest: > > The workshop focuses on software engineering issues arising in networked > (embedded) sensing systems and their possible integration in Internet of > Things scenarios. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: > > - environment and context modeling; > - development methodologies; > - (macro-)programming languages and compilers; > - testing, debugging, and validation; > - non-functional modeling and analysis; > - security and trust; > - formal verification and model-checking; > - model-driven approaches; > - middleware systems; > - interfacing WSNs and business services; > - integration of WSNs in IoT applications. > > Workshop Organizers > > Kurt Geihs, University of Kassel, Germany > Luca Mottola, Swedish Institute of Computer Science > Gian Pietro Picco, University of Trento, Italy > Kay Römer, University of Lübeck, Germany & ETH Zurich, Switzerland > > Program Chairs > > Vittorio Cortellessa, University of L’Aquila, Italy > Amy L.
