The conference invites original papers, review papers, technical reports and case studies on WWW in particular the emerging role of so-called WWW-based Communities. Domain: It is increasingly important for our culture to bring people together and to promote dynamics in professional organizations, mutual understanding, learning and harmony. Creating "virtual communities" is one major way to do this. The Web Based Communities 2005 conference aims at sharing and aggregating scientifically proven methods on how to organize and moderate WWW-based communities. These communities do not limit participants to particular locations - the international and multicultural dimension is a most challenging one. Good WWW communities undergo a continuous evolution and adapt to the changing world. The nature of these communities can be corporate, scientific, social or educational. Pragmatic questions which need to be addressed include: What software tools are the most adequate and how to use them? How to promote your community so that new members can find it? How to protect the members' privacy? How to moderate discussions and how to provide information that people can use? How to create and maintain a sense of trust and commitment among the members? In addition, sociology, education, communication and philosophy issues are addressed as the main disciplines reflected in building WWW-based communities, although critical theories on societies and post-modernism are also relevant starting points. New and imminent technologies will be discussed. Objectives: The Web Based Communities 2005 Conference aims at bringing together new vital understanding of WWW communities and what new initiatives mean. Each new perspective is potentially a catalyst for finding new architectures. National and regional-oriented communities may soon be relegated to a subordinate position compared to interest-oriented communities. Multiculturalism, critical thinking, expressing aesthetic aspects of our identity, and finding sparring partners for sharpening our ideologies, are all processes that need the new communication infrastructures. The targeted audience is scientists and members and moderators of WWW communities who feel responsible for optimizing its quality and effect. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The better papers will be candidate for the "International Journal of Web Based Communities" (IJWBC); ISSN: 1477 - 8394 [4 issues per year] * Types of submissions Full and Short Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. * Subject indications (but not limited to) The history, architecture and future of virtual communities 1. From mobility to connectivity 2. Identity and augmented ideologies 3. Visionary web architectures, implanted computers 4. Network revolutions, post-colonial and post-modern societies 5. Escaping from reality, virtual reality and multi-user games 6. Towards alternative ways of presence Group processes and self-organization 1. Tele-democracy, morality, netiquette 2. Social networks, tribal- and open communities, peace education 3. Computer mediated-, hyper- and narrative communication, woven stories 4. MUDs, MOOs and avatars 5. Hosting web-based communities 6.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd IEEE Int'l Conf. on Autonomic Computing (ICAC05) Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2004 20:44:45 -0500 (EST) From: Dongyan Xu <dxu(a)cs.purdue.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------- My sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC-05) Renaissance Seattle Hotel, Seattle, WA June 13-16, 2005 http://www.autonomic-conference.org To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale computer and software systems, they must manage themselves, in accordance with high-level guidance from humans - a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC'05) is to bring together researchers from different fields of research who are addressing aspects of self- management in computing systems. In doing so, we hope to develop and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self- optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. - Software architectures for self-managing systems, based on Open Grid Services, Web Services, or novel paradigms based on biological, economic, social, or other analogies. - Specific self-managing components, such as server, client, database, storage, or network elements. Emphasis should be placed on interactions with other components, or techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. - Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. - New technologies supporting system management, such as service-level agreements, negotiation or conversation support, and behavior enforcement. - System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self- managing systems, such as health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning. - Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, and techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. - Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, theoretical investigations of coupled feedback loops, predictive methods, robustness, and related topics. - Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS Full papers (up to 8 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the ICAC-05 review process. Posters are not subject to any of these restrictions.

March 14, 2005, Innsbruck Deadline for submissions: January 17, 2005 Organization and Program Committee Dietmar Fey, University of Jena Thomas Martinetz, Universität zu Lübeck Christian Müller-Schloer, Institute of Systems Engineering, University of Hannover Hartmut Schmeck, AIFB, University of Karlsruhe Theo Ungerer, Institute of Computer Science, University of Augsburg Rolf Würtz, Institut für Neuroinformatik, Ruhr University Bochum Organic Computing has emerged recently as a challenging vision for future information processing systems. Organic Computing is based on the insight that it won’t be long before we are surrounded by large collections of autonomous systems equipped with sensors and actuators to be aware of their environment, to communicate freely, and to organize themselves in order to perform the actions and services that seem to be required. This presence of networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct these systems - which we increasingly depend on - as robust, safe, flexible, and trustworthy as possible. In particular, a strong orientation of these systems towards human needs as opposed to a pure implementation of the technologically possible seems absolutely central. In order to achieve these goals, our technical systems will have to act more independently, flexibly, and autonomously, i.e. they will have to exhibit life-like properties. We call those systems "organic". Hence, an "Organic Computing System" is a technical system, which adapts dynamically to the current conditions of its environment. It will be self-organizing, selfconfiguring, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware. The vision of Organic Computing and its fundamental concepts arose independently in different research areas like Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Computer Engineering. Self-organizing systems have been studied for quite some time by mathematicians, sociologists, physicists, economists, and computer scientists, but so far almost exclusively based on strongly simplified artificial models. Central aspects of Organic Computing systems have been and will be inspired by an analysis of information processing in biological systems. It is the objective of this workshop to bring together computer scientists with researchers from neighboring disciplines – like physics, chemistry, economics, biology – to allow them to benefit from their knowledge in the fields of self-organization and emergence. This is an interdisciplinary workshop. This means that breadth and understandability beyond the own special interest group is highly encouraged. Invited topics include but are not limited to: - self-organization and emergent behavior (general) - complex adaptive systems - dissipative systems - self-organization in production and logistics - self-organization in biological systems - self-organization in nano structures - bio-inspired computing - artificial life - multi-agent systems and cellular automata - technical usage and controllability of emergence Paper Selection and Workshop Format Authors will be required to submit papers with a maximum of 10 pages until January 17, 2005. Extended abstracts (3 pages) are also welcome. Contributions (pdf format) should address the following topics: - Characterization of the project(s), main research goals and results, problem areas - Aspects of technical application and controllability - Self-organization and emergence as general phenomena: Communalities and differences Papers will be selected through a peer-review based on contribution to the overall topic, originality, and scientific value. All selected papers will be published in the workshop proceedings (and should be presented at the workshop). To maximize the outcome of the workshop there will be space for extensive discussions in small groups (2-4 people) and a wrapup phase at the end. The proposed preliminary timeline for the workshop is: 09:00 - 12:30 Presentations and discussion of the presented papers 13:30 - 15:00 Group discussions with specific questions 15:30 - 17:00 Presentation of group results and discussion of research directions and cooperations Deadline for submissions: January 17, 2005 Notification of acceptance/rejection: January 28, 2005 Camera-ready paper: February 11, 2005 Please send electronic submissions (in pdf) to: Dipl.-Ing.

Sophia Antipolis To: <members(a)ist-e-next.net> (Our oppologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) WiNMee Workshop --------------- http://www.winmee.org/ 1st workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (co-located with WiOpt 2005) April 3rd, 2005 Riva Del Garda, Trentino, Italy The area of wireless networking has attracted a lot of interest in the recent past. Nonetheless, evaluation of the performance of wireless networks and the solutions that are designed to address the identified issues is usually based on simulations. Only recently did researchers turn their attention to actual testbeds for similar tasks. Actual wireless testbeds are likely to prove very challenging environments to work with due to the unique properties of the wireless medium (in contrast to the well explored area of wired measurements and experimentation). The wireless medium is bound to behave differently depending on the location of the testbed and reproducibility of results is no longer a given. Lastly, solutions that have been previously proposed in the literature may be infeasible in an operational environment if they require changes in the network devices. As a result, effort has also been put into designing wireless hardware where researchers can gain access to functionality that is not typically exposed at the network driver level. In this workshop we would like to solicit short, 6 pages, papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. Topics include: * operational experience on the performance of wireless networks * challenges with wireless measurements * experimental (in)validation of usually made assumptions in a wireless environment * metrics that would be required in a wireless network for performance evaluation or wireless network troubleshooting * experience from building/designing wireless networks * description of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds (e.g. wireless link emulation) * techniques for scaling the testbed * techniques for improving the repeatability of tests * techniques for validating the results obtained in the wireless testbed * methods for simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * mobility pattern implementation Important Dates: ---------------- Submission deadline: December 17, 2004 Notification deadline: January 28, 2004 Camera-ready due: February 18, 2005 Workshop chairs: ---------------- Lakshman Krishnamurthy Intel Konstantina Papagiannaki Intel Research Cambridge Technical Program Committee: ---------------------------- Chadi Barakat INRIA, France Elizabeth M.
