-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: WiNMee 2013 *** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED *** Datum: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:33:25 -0500 Von: Emir Halepovic <mail2emir(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to FEBRUARY 5, 2013 ! *** [ Appologies if you receive this message multiple times. ] [ Please forward this call for papers to colleagues who might be interested in submitting a contribution. ] ============================================================= Call for Papers WiNMee 2013 ----- May 13-17, 2013 ----- Tsukuba Science City, Japan The 9th International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (WiNMee) In conjunction with WiOpt 2013 http://mobilelab.kut.ac.kr/winmee2013.html ============================================================= Welcome to WiNMee 2013 The rise in wireless technologies for both local and wide-area networking, such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX, Bluetooth, ZigBee, 3G and LTE, means that the Internet is increasingly wireless. Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the following years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. WiNMee 2013 is the ninth edition in the International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements series that began in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating production wireless networks - Measurement and characterization of wireless networks traffic such as WLANs, cellular networks (including smartphone and mobile application traffic characteristics), wireless home networks, and sensor networks - Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models - Measurement-based network management and troubleshooting - Experiences and challenges with wireless measurements - Methodologies for validating wireless test-bed results and improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration - Methodologies for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks - Techniques and experiences with collecting, archiving, anonymizing and sharing wireless measurement data - Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems - Metrics for wireless network performance evaluation - Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility - Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds - Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks Paper Submission The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six printed pages (IEEE Transactions style double-column format, 10pt font size) including figures. Only PDF files are acceptable. Papers can be prepared using either LaTeX or Microsoft Word. Do not put page numbers on your document. References should be numbered in alphabetical order by lead author last name. Within the text, citations to references should appear as the appropriate reference number in square brackets. The end of the document must include the list of cited references; please avoid unnecessary abbreviations in citations. Please make sure that all fonts and subset fonts are embedded. To check font embedding use one of the following approaches: If using Adobe Reader, from the menu select File/Properties... and then select the Fonts tab. You should see "(Embedded Subset)" next to each font and there should be no Type 3 fonts. >From a Linux/Unix terminal, execute the "pdffonts" command on your PDF document. The listing should show no Type 3 fonts, and all fonts listed should have "yes" under "emb" and "sub". The paper should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words.

Tyrrell and Prof. Tempesti, York University Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgium PAPER ONE Investigating Power Reduction for NoC-Based Spiking Neural Network Platforms using Channel Encoding Neil McDonnell (School of Computing and Intelligent Systems, University of Ulster, Magee Campus, Northern Ireland, UK), Snaider Carrillo (School of Computing and Intelligent Systems, University of Ulster, Magee Campus, Northern Ireland, UK), Jim Harkin (School of Computing and Intelligent Systems, University of Ulster, Magee Campus, Northern Ireland, UK) and Liam McDaid (School of Computing and Intelligent Systems, University of Ulster, Magee Campus, Northern Ireland, UK) Recent focus has been placed on exploring the possibility to switch from parallel to serial data links between NoC routers in order to improve signal integrity in the communication channel. However, moving streams of data between the parallel path of the internal router and external serial-channel links between them consumes additional power. One challenge is encoding the data and minimise the switching activity of data in the serial links in order to reduce the additional power dissipation; while under real-time and minimal hardware constraints. Consequently, proposed is a novel low area/power decision circuit for NoC channel encoding which identifies in real-time packets for encoding and extends the existing SILENT encoders/decoders to further minimise power consumption and demonstrates the power performance savings of the decision circuit and modified (en)decoders using example test traffic with the EMBRACE NoC router, a mixed signal spiking neural network (SNNs) embedded platform.

Extending the EHW principle to architectural adaptation, the authors study the capability of evolvable hardware classifiers to adapt to intentional run-time fluctuations in the available resources, i.e., chip area, in this work. To that end, the authors leverage the Functional Unit Row (FUR) architecture, a coarse-grained reconfigurable classifier, and apply it to two medical benchmarks, the Pima and Thyroid data sets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. While quick recovery from architectural changes was already demonstrated for the FUR architecture, the authors also introduce two reconfiguration schemes helping to reduce the magnitude of degradation after architectural reconfiguration.

Tyrrell (Department of Electronics, University of York, York, UK) Transport triggered architectures are used for implementing bio-inspired systems due to their simplicity, modularity and fault-tolerance. However, producing efficient, optimised machine code for such architectures is extremely difficult, since computational complexity has moved from the hardware-level to the software-level. Presented is the application of Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) to the evolution of machine code for a simple implementation of transport triggered architecture. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated by evolving machine code for a 4-bit multiplier with three different levels of parallelism. The results show that 100% successful solutions were found by CGP and by further optimising the size of the solutions, it’s possible to find efficient implementations of the 4-bit multiplier. Further analysis of the solutions showed that use of loops within the CGP function set could be beneficial and was demonstrated by repeating the earlier 4-bit multiplier experiment with the addition of a loop function.

Nashed (Department of Information Engineering, University of Parma, Parma, Italy) and Stefano Cagnoni (Department of Information Engineering, University of Parma, Parma, Italy) The authors formulate the body pose estimation as a multi-dimensional nonlinear optimization problem, suitable to be approximately solved by a meta-heuristic, specifically, the particle swarm optimization (PSO). Starting from multi-view video sequences acquired in a studio environment, a full skeletal configuration of the human body is retrieved. They use a generic subdivision-surface body model in 3-D to generate solutions for the optimization problem. PSO then looks for the best match between the silhouettes generated by the projection of the model in a candidate pose and the silhouettes extracted from the original video sequence. The optimization method, in this case PSO, is run in parallel on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and is implemented in Cuda-C™ on the nVidia CUDA™ architecture. The authors compare the results obtained by different configurations of the camera setup, fitness function, and PSO neighborhood topologies.

This journal is also included in the IGI Global aggregated "InfoSci-Journals" database: http://www.igi-global.com/eresources/infosci-journals.aspx. ***************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS The International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) examines systems and organizations characterized by the following two properties: the ability to self-adapt to the characteristics of rapidly changing and turbulent environments by adopting complex individual and social strategies and the ability to control their changes to prevent the invalidation of their original mission statements. The central focus of IJARAS is on modeling, simulating, designing, developing, maintaining, evaluating, and benchmarking such “entelechial systems”. Perception, awareness, and the planning and execution of resilient adaptation behaviors in systems and organizations are central topics of the journal. Such systems range from individual and simple embedded systems with limited perception and predefined specialized behaviors to complex hybrid social organizations like cyber-physical societies or service-oriented communities, whose emerging behaviors are many and, in some cases, difficult to predict. IJARAS focuses on the full spectrum of these problems providing academicians, practitioners, and researchers with awareness and insight on conceptual models, applied and theoretical approaches, paradigms, and other technological innovations on self-adaptive and/or self-resilient systems and organizations of any scale and nature. Mission Society is currently experiencing the increasing population of “things,” able to autonomously link with each other and enact complex strategies to achieve tasks. The emergence of the Semantic Web, the Internet-of-Things, Ambient Intelligence, and cyber-physical societies make it impossible to capture the intricacies of the future highly dynamic and turbulent networks of interrelated computer-based and hybrid components. As such, it is important that systems are designed to self-adapt to changes without diverging from their intended functions as prescribed in their specifications. The mission of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) is to offer awareness and visibility to novel techniques and methods to achieve self-adaptability and self-resilience when systems and organizations are deployed in environments where change is the rule rather than the exception. IJARAS is also a tool to enhance the awareness of the key role played by said techniques and methods: engineering self-adaptive and self-resilient systems and organizations is an urgent necessity to keep society resilient in the face of the technology that sustains it. The journal pursues its mission by addressing researchers, practitioners, engineers, educators, and professionals and by publishing novel results on each of the diverse components of such a complex and multi-disciplinary research problem. Topics Covered Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: - Adaptive data integrity - Adaptive fault-tolerance - Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system’s ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments - Architecture-based adaptation - Autonomic applications - Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics - Biologically inspired mechanisms to enact complex adaptation strategies - Collective strategies for adaptation and resilience, including cooperation, competition, co-opetition, co-innovation, and co-evolution - Complex adaptive-and-resilient systems and organizations - Context- and situation-awareness - Design-time/run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security - Dynamics of complex adaptive and resilient systems and organizations - Human aspects - Evolutionary approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems - Mechanisms to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic, and resilient systems - Methods to express resilience (e.g., resilience policies and contracts) - Perception and introspection capabilities - Personalization - Quality of experience - Recovery-oriented computing - Resilient adaptation behavior composition - Resilient adaptation planning - Resilience and adaptation in management science - Resilience engineering - Role of diversity in the emergence of survivability, innovability, value capture, etc. - Role of organizations on the emergence of adaptation and resilience: heterarchies, holarchies, fractal social organizations, etc. - Scalable, maintainable, and cost-effective provisions located at all system levels to achieve adaptability and dependability - Self-adaptive and self-resilient systems: models, design, development, maintenance, evaluation, and benchmarking issues - Software elasticity: techniques, tools, and approaches to absorb and tolerate the consequences of failures, attacks, and changes within and without system boundaries Submissions and enquiries: All inquiries and submissions should be sent to: Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio at vincenzo.deflorio(a)gmail.com; vincenzo.deflorio(a)ua.ac.be For enquiries please contact the editor in chief Advanced Book Series: - An Advances Book Series is now associated with IJARAS: Advances in Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (AARAS).
