-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers IISW'04 Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 15:27:58 +0200 (CEST) From: Calin Curescu <calcu(a)ida.liu.se> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the program committee for the International Infrastructure Survivability Workshop (IISW04) to be held in conjunction with the 25th IEEE Real-time Systems Symposium, we would like to invite you to consider the workshop for a paper submission. Selected papers from the workshop will be published in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures (IJCIS), and reviewed by three members of the distinguished program committee. Submission deadline: 4th September. For more details please refer to: www.ida.liu.se/~calcu/iisw04 Regards, Simin Nadjm-Tehrani and Calin Curescu Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies. CALL FOR PAPERS: International Infrastructure Survivability Workshop (IISW'04) """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Overloads, Attacks and Failures: the Trade-off against Time To be held in conjunction with the 25th IEEE International Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS04) December 5-8, 2004 Lisbon, Portugal SCOPE: Society today is increasingly dependent on critical infrastructures that constitute the backbone for delivery of its essential services. Many critical services such as power supplies, public transport, telecommunications, banking and finance, and defence will be increasingly relying on information infrastructures, not only for management and control but also for monitoring outages and recovery. Combinations of wireless and ad hoc networks with fixed networks are becoming a reality in many domains. Traditional solutions in dependable systems build in robustness at the production stage. Using redundancy, feedback mechanisms, and careful sensitivity analysis the system is shown to stay in its characterised operational profile and shows graceful degradation when components fail. In today's networked infrastructures it is more difficult to achieve these goals due to the following developments: * New infrastructures are built as partial overlays with old infrastructures making the emerging system of systems irregular in its architecture. * Introduction of new services, emerging trends and deregulation contribute to unbalancing phenomena: operational conditions may change abruptly creating traffic/flow patterns not foreseen by operators. * Prevalence of software brings with it the weaknesses of COTS, making systems more susceptible to "normal" failures and malicious attempts to bring down a service. * Tomorrow's networked systems will have to face the challenge of survivability: delivering critical services in a timely manner in presence of overloads, attacks and failures. In this workshop we intend to bring together research that addresses the above issues by incorporating metrics that represent the use of scarce resources, reflecting timing performance, anticipating outages and mobilising system reconfigurations to stall outages or recover from partial failures. Practical experience reports are highly encouraged. Papers that describe original unpublished work are solicited and selected papers will be published in a special issue of the International Journal on Critical Infrastructures (IJCIS). The topics of interest cover, but are not limited to, the following areas: * Models and architectures for network survivability * Network fault-tolerance: wireless networks, sensor networks, IP networks * Interoperability between hybrid wireline/wireless networks * Fraud and intrusion Detection, Prediction, and Countermeasures * Survivable architectures for e-commerce * Security and availability of web services * Support for QoS * Adaptive systems theory and practice * Quality metrics in open systems * Availability/Performance trade-offs * Security/Performance trade-offs * Case studies and experimental studies WORKSHOP CHAIR: Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, Linköping University, Sweden, simin(a)ida.liu.se ORGANISATION CHAIR: Calin Curescu, Linköping University, Sweden, calcu(a)ida.liu.se Program Committee: Calin Curescu, Linköping University, Sweden Marc Dacier, Eurécom, France Teresa A.

[ieee-cnom] The 1st IFIP TC6 WG6.6 on Autonomic Communications (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

Carlos Please distribute in CNOM list Raouf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- The 1st IFIP TC6 WG6.6 Workshop on Autonomic Communication (WAC 2004) Autonomic Communication Principles 18-19 October 2004 in Berlin, Germany http://www.autonomic-communication.org/wac/ Call For Papers Scope The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss the principles of Autonomic Communication (AC) - a new communication paradigm to assist the design of the Next Generation Networks (NGN). This workshop explicitly focuses on the grounding principles to achieve purposeful behavior on top of self-organization (self-management, self-healing, self-awareness, etc.). Papers are solicited that study network element's autonomic behavior exposed by innovative (cross-layer optimized, context-aware, and securely programmable) protocol stack in its interaction with numerous often-dynamic network groups and communities. The goals are to understand how autonomic behaviors are learned, influenced or changed, and how, in turn, these affect other elements, groups and the network. The self-organized Internet will be able to sense its environment, to perceive these changes and to understand the meaning of these changes, thus facilitating new ways to perform network control, management, middle box communication, service creation, etc. This will be based on universal and fine-grained multiplexing of numerous policies, rules and events which are done autonomously but facilitate desired behavior of groups of network elements. Though the primary application domain is the Internet, papers addressing autonomic communication principles for mission critical distributed systems are also welcome. The emphasis of the event is on long-term research agenda with broad interdisciplinary approach to explore concurrently multiple paradigm spaces. Along with invited papers and a panel the conference will offer possibility for technical papers and position statements. Papers are solicited on at least the following topics: * Policy-based communication and policy multiplexing in NGN * Group communication for control and management plane * Designing evolvable next generation networks * Self-organisation for NGN re-configurability * Management of nomadicity * Large AC testbeds * AC calculi * Modelling and analysis of AC systems * Theoretical foundations of autonomic network control * Mobile code and network programmability for AC * Generic network-level service composition at run-time * Context handling within AC * Theoretical foundations of rule-based systems; * Security, immunity and resilience of AC * Applied AC (QoS, traffic engineering, routing, etc.); WAC 2004 is technically co-sponsored by IFIP TC6 WG6.6 and will be organized by the FP6 project "Autonomic Communication: Coordination Action" of Future and Emerging Technologies program of the IST. Communication Paradigms for 2020 IST Program Future and Emerging Technologies plans to launch a long-term research (proactive initiative) in the area of novel communication paradigms; it will address high-level visionary and risky research of fundamental nature and shall explore its limits and opportunities in increasingly important areas of economical and social development in Europe. Autonomic Communication addresses these challenges from a network-centric technological viewpoint to enable true ambient intelligence and I-centric communication scenarios. Information for Authors Submissions will be subject to at least three peer reviews and should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 12 single-spaced pages or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 100-word abstract, and list of keywords. The author responsible for correspondence should be identified, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Authors are requested to follow the LNCS's guidelines. One of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at WAC '2004. Address for Submissions Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF, or in Postscript formats to the following address: wac(a)autonomic-communication.org Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and distributed after the event.

History: The first edition of this workshop (MGC2003) was held on June 17th 2003, in conjunction with the Middleware Conference, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. MGC2003 saw a good combination of the many different flavors in Middleware for Grid Computing, with 16 technical presentations and discussions on several stimulating topics including, among the others, Classic Grids, object oriented technologies, Service- based Grids, Open grid Service Architecture, Agent Grid, Interactive Grid, Grid Economy / Scheduling, and Portlets. After the event, extended and thoroughly revised versions of the papers were invited to a Special Issue of Concurrency and Computation Practice and Experience Journal - Vol.16 N.5 2004. The first workshop generated substantial interest in the community and we hope to build on this tradition this year. Far from exhausting the topics of interest, MGC2003 paved the way for a second edition of the workshop, that will continue the most interesting and stimulating topics emerged last year, and also include some novel issues. Description: Much of the focus of Grid until recently has been within research organizations. Currently the involvement of commercial organization has increased tremendously. That leads to a greater focus on integration with commercial computing models and more work on the security and resource management models required for automated and secure access negotiation for remote resources. In order to control such a broad base of resources, Grid Computing has a middleware layer which controls the distributed execution of applications. In this Workshop we would encourage researchers from the various GRID middleware communities to submit and present original work for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: Classic Grid Middleware Object Oriented technologies or Component Middleware WSRF/OGSA/Web services Grid Middleware Architectures Grid Services Grid Middleware Security Resource Management and Scheduling Strategies and protocols for obtaining QoS Semantic Grid Middleware Managing Information in Grid Middleware Grid Object Metadata and Schemas Programming Models, Tools, and Environments Performance Evaluation and Modeling Evolution of and experiences with Grid systems Wireless Grids Data Grid Middleware Dependability and Fault Tolerance in Grids Virtualization in Grids Paper Submission: The Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 4-6 single-spaced pages of text using 10 point size type on A4 paper. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All selected papers for are peer-reviewed and will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Selected (extended) papers will be invited to a special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience Journal for 2005. Some papers may be selected to be presented as posters. Electronic only submission.
