-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] End-to-End Service Differentiation Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 08:55:54 -0500 (EST) From: Teresa A Dahlberg <tdahlber(a)uncc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Workshop on End-to-End Service Differentiation (EESD 2004) in conjunction with IPCCC 2004 Phoenix, Arizona April 14-17, 2004 http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/eesd04 Scope: Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a proposed architecture by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in which various ap- plications are supported using a simple classification scheme. Packets entering the DiffServ domain are handled depending on the packets' class. However, for many QoS-sensitive applications, such as e-commerce and steaming media, QoS differentiation at the network layer alone may be insufficient to guarantee the applica- tion's QoS requirements. Such applications require end-to-end QoS differentiation. End-to-end QoS guarantees require service dif- ferentiation mechanisms throughout the protocol stack, as well as in the middleware, the operating system and even in the applica- tions. We are interested in visionary, experimental, systems-related and work in-progress papers in the area of QoS differentiation at the network, middleware, operating system and application levels. Pa- pers in the form of extended abstracts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by anoth- er conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presen- tation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings. The workshop will also include invited papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to - Differentiated services architectures - Application-level service differentiation - Policybased QoS differentiation - Packet classification and marking - Packet scheduling algorithms and implementations - Differentiated buffer management - QoS across heterogeneous link technologies - QoS for mobile application support - Active network support for QoS differentiation - Content-aware switches - Multi-level admission control - QoS-aware operating systems - QoS differentiation for e-commerce and m-commerce - QoS-aware web server architec tures - Service differentiation via web caching - Service differentiation via content distribution networks - QoS support for storage networks - QoS support for networked games Submission: Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically. The documents must follow Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). To do so, follow the relevant link on the workshop home page http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/eesd04/submit.html Papers are in the form of extended abstracts, 5-8 pages long. A cover page must include a title, descriptive keywords, all au- thor's names, complete mailing addresses, telephone numbers, e- mail addresses and an abstract of up to 150 words. Papers accept- ed for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Workshop on Information Assurance CFP]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Workshop on Information Assurance CFP Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 22:51:30 -0500 (EST) From: David Tipper <dtipper(a)mail.sis.pitt.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Workshop on Information Assurance (WIA04) In conjunction with the 23rd IEEE International Performance Computing and Communications Conference (IPCCC) http://www.ipccc.org/ipccc2004 Phoenix, Arizona April 14-17, 2004 Scope: Information Assurance (IA) is defined as the operations undertaken to protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation. Information assurance for networks is as critical as it is for information systems. Availability implies that networks and systems must be survivable and fault tolerant they should possess redundancies to operate under failures or security breaches. For example, networks should be designed with sufficient spare and working capacity, efficient traffic restoration protocols, alarms and network management. Security encompasses the other aspects of IA, namely integrity, access-control, authentication, confidenti- ality and non-repudiation as they apply to both networks and systems. The The increasing reliance of business-to-business and business to consumer applications on networked information systems dramatically magnifies the consequence of damages resulting from even simple system faults and intrusions, making the task of assuring confidentiality, availability and integrity of information difficult. Although several piecemeal solutions address concerns related to the security and fault tolerance of various components of such networksed information systems, there is a growing need to leverage the synergy between security and survivability to provide a higher level of information assurance in the face of faults and attacks. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, systems-related and work in-progress in the area of Information Assurance at the network and system levels. We expect to have three sessions - the first related to survivability and fault tolerance, the second related to security, and the third related to the interactions between security and survivability. Papers in the form of extended abstracts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings. The workshop will also include invited papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Security and availability of web services - Authorization and access-control - Database and system security - Risk analysis and security management - Verification and validation of security - Wireless LAN Security - Restoration techniques for networks - Multi-layer protection design - Reliability/Availability of IP networks - Digital Rights Management - DoS protection for the Internet - Cryptographic protocols and Key management - Network security and Intrusion detection - Ad hoc and sensor network security - Models and architectures for systems security and survivability - Security and survivability in optical networks - Restoration of security services under failure - Security and survivability architectures for e-commerce and m-commerce - Public policy issues for security and survivability Deadlines for Submissions: December 6th, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: December 29th, 2004 Camera-Ready Copy Received: January 26th, 2004 Workshop: April 14-17, 2004 Submission: Authors should submit their papers electronically.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] IEEE LANMAN 2004: Call for Abstracts Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2003 15:46:44 -0500 (EST) From: rouskas(a)unity.ncsu.edu Reply-To: rouskas(a)csc.ncsu.edu To: rouskas(a)csc.ncsu.edu (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) Call for Submissions 13th IEEE Workshop on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN 2004) April 25-28, 2004, San Francisco Bay Area, USA http://www.ieee-lanman.org Keynote Speaker : Dr. Lawrence Roberts, Internet Pioneer, CTO and Chairman of Caspian Networks The IEEE LAN/MAN Workshop continues its tradition as a leading forum for discussing the latest technical advances in networking in the local and metropolitan areas. A focus area for the upcoming workshop will be metro and access networks, where optical and broadband wireless technologies are vying to realize true broadband connectivity, promising abundant, inexpensive, and readily available bandwidth. Yet the realization of agile and cost effective metro and access networks requires both theoretical investigations (including new architectures, concepts, and economic and service models) and experimentation (including prototypes, testbeds, and applications). Single-track presentations are planned to stimulate technical exchange among researchers and practitioners with a broad interest in networking; we specifically welcome submissions on both optical and broadband wireless networks and relevant experimental activities. Submissions should be short, focused, and provide a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas. Novel and speculative ideas are particularly encouraged. Extended abstracts are solicited on any LAN/MAN topic including, but not limited to, the following: * Optical WDM networks based * Emerging access networks: on packet, burst, and flow Ethernet in the First switching Mile, EPONs, FTTx * Resilient Packet Rings * Measurement and modeling * Broadband Wireless Access of network operation and Networks performance * WiFi roaming services and * Resource provisioning, architectures QoS, dynamic bandwidth * IEEE standards (802.3ah, allocation, capacity .16, .17, .20) placement * Network survivability, * Routing self-healing rings * Community networks and * Topology adaptation, services reconfigurability * Pricing, multi-vendor * Optical network interoperability management, security The 13th LAN/MAN workshop will be held April 25-28, 2004 in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. The workshop's proximity to Silicon Valley places it at the center of innovation for emerging networking technology. Submission, Review and Publication: Please submit a 2-4 page extended abstract, including figures and tables. All abstracts must be electronically submitted in PDF according to the guidelines in the workshop website http://www.ieee-lanman.org.
