-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Third Greenet Workshop Datum: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 12:55:47 +0000 Von: Friderikos, Vasilis <vasilis.friderikos(a)kcl.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Green Wireless Communications and Networks Workshop (GreeNet) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Co-located with IEEE VTC Spring 2012, Yokohama, Japan 6th-9th May 2012 Important Dates: ---------------- Paper Deadline: 16 Dec 2011 Notification: 13 Jan 2012 Camera Ready Deadline: 6 Feb 2012 Website: -------- http://vtc2012workshops.trackchair.com/track/983 Overview -------- Broadband wireless mobile communications data traffic is rapidly growing to provide data services for devices such as tablets, smartphones and laptops. However, for many operators, growth in traffic is not match by the same growth in revenue. There is an increasing awareness of the environmental impact of both wireless networks and the Internet in general. Many operators have thus made commitments to reduce the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with their networks. The objective of this workshop is to build on the success of the first two Greenet workshops to discuss these issues in detail. One major area where advances may be made is in moving towards more energy efficient network deployments which employ a mix of network components, such as macro-cell base stations, relays, picocells and femtocells to provide coverage and support high traffic demands. A second important avenue of research relates to new technologies and algorithms that can be deployed within the radio of each device to reduce energy consumption. This workshop particularly encourages contributions with blue sky thinking on how future technologies can be substantially more energy efficient than current systems. We invite five page paper submissions not previously published and are not currently under review for publication from researchers and practitioners active in the field of Green Wireless Communications and Networks covering (but not limited to) the following topics: 1. Energy Efficient Network design - Efficient network architectures - Heterogeneous networks - Network traffic engineering and QoS support - Network operation and management 2. Enabling technologies - Physical layer techniques - MAC protocols - Cross-layer optimization - Cognitive networks 3. Network components and devices - Low power devices - User terminal designs - Base station hardware architectures - Power management for user terminals and network devices 4. Applications and services of wireless technologies - Wireless smart grid and energy management concepts - Wireless networking for home working/smart office - Machine-to-machine communications - Regulatory issues - New topics for standardisation Workshop Organisers ------------------- John Thompson, University of Edinburgh Timothy O'Farrell, University of Sheffield Vasilis Friderikos, Kings College London _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Cooperation is becoming a major subject in research in the wireless communication community as it has been identified as one of the underlying principles for future wireless communication systems. Cooperation, altruistic or non-altruistic, is the basis to break up the cellular concept and enrich it by multi hop, peer-to-peer, or grid functionalities. The workshop will highlight the newest trends in this emerging area, complementing it with first practical implementations and demonstrations in this field. New technologies and concepts such as network coding and mobile clouds are the driving forces for cooperative and cognitive networks. Besides the technical insights, the workshop will encourage the participants to discuss among each other. The workshop is seeking papers for oral presentations and papers which will be presented in poster sessions possibly accompanied with demonstrations or test-beds. Keynote Speech: We are pleased to announce that Professor Muriel Medard from MIT will give the keynote at the CoCoNet 4 workshop. Topics of interest are (but not limited to): - Architectures of Cooperative Mobile Networks (CMN) - Cooperative Services - Novel Cooperative Services and Applications - Cooperative Service Discovery - Network Coding - Self Organizing Peer to Peer Networks - Cognitive Principles - Green Mobile Communications - Context-aware Cloud Management - Business Models for Cooperative Networking - Spectrum management policy and strategy for cognitive networks - Social Mobile Networks - Software Defined Radio - Peer-to-Peer Technologies - Cross-layer optimization - Security in Cooperative Wireless Networks; - Mobile Cooperative Applications - Sensor Networks - Wireless Grids - Mobile Clouds - Practical implementations, test-beds and demonstrations.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Social Network Systems 2012 - Bern Switzerland, 10 April, 2012 Datum: Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:51:57 +0100 Von: Davide Frey <davide.frey(a)inria.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call. =================================================================== Call For Papers Social Network Systems 2012 In conjunction with EuroSys 2012 Bern Switzerland, 10 April 2012 http://www.cambridgeplus.net/SNS12 The 5th Workshop on Social Network Systems (SNS 2012) will gather researchers to discuss novel ideas about computer systems and social networks. Online social networks are among the most popular sites on the Web and continue to grow rapidly. Online social networks provide mechanisms for establishing online identities and creating relationships. The resulting social graph provides a network for maintaining social relationships and for locating content, with the potential of changing computer systems and applications, for example, by providing new means to publish and find content as well as new ways to reason about trust. The workshop complements the topics of the main EuroSys conference, since the research issues with online social networks span the topics of distributed computing, databases, and storage systems as well as security and privacy. This workshop will focus on the systems issues of online social networks. Broadly, a systems issue of social networks comprises three main areas: 1. Infrastructure support for social networks (including distributed systems, databases, and storage systems). 2. Ways of leveraging social networks in systems design. 3. Measurement and analysis of existing deployed social networks. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Management and querying of large social graphs. • Graph query engines and query optimization for online processing. • Support for consistency among concurrent readers and writers to a large distributed social graph. • Partitioning large social graphs. • Data storage and organization. • Benchmarking, modeling, and workload characterization. • Crawlers and other mechanisms for observing social network structure. • Experiences with deployed systems. • Leveraging social network properties in systems design. • Issues of privacy and security. • Tools for designing and deploying social networks. • Application programming interfaces for social networks. • System support for social analytics and network dynamics. • Methods for integrating multiple networks. • Performance measurement and analysis of online social networks systems. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Submissions may not exceed 6 pages double column, including everything (i.e., figures, tables, references, appendices, etc.), and should use a 10pt font (so specify \documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{sigplanconf}). Papers must be formatted according to the ACM SIGPLAN style, for which templates are available for both LaTeX and Word ( http://eurosys2012.unibe.ch/submissions ). Please number pages. This workshop is sponsored by ACM, ACM SigOps, and EuroSys.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization
by Lars Wolf 24 Nov '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization Datum: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:11:33 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization The Internet is the critical element in future global ICT strategy. However, the way the current Internet is managed and the way it provides services cannot match the fast changing and more demanding requirements imposed by user-end applications. Network virtualisation, coupled with an effective and efficient approach to manage virtualised resources, is increasingly regarded as a promising key candidate solution to the problem. However, the diversity of the network structures, protocols and standards in networks, which is further complicated by the high-speed, content-rich, burst-type natures of the future network traffic, poses big challenges on system design and protocol engineering of virtualized networks. This Special Issue expects to address network virtualization issues related to end-to-end transmission of information, starting from user devices (including mobile devices), going through access networks (including both wireless networks such as WiFi/WiMAX/3G/LET/etc and wired networks such as PONs), and then traversing through fixed core networks (IP/MPLS/WDM), arriving at the other side of access before eventually reaching the other side of the user device. Paper can address any individual network (and even device) along this chain or a combination of them (i.e., converged networks). It is at the author's disposal as to which particular network technology to choose (or even an abstract one) for virtualization. Both node virtualization (such as soft access point), link virtualization or a combination of both can be addressed. The goal of this SI is to highlight and systematically address the challenges arising from network virtualization. The collection of the articles in this SI will create a forum for researches, developers and practitioners from both academia and industry to publish the key results and to disseminate the state-of-the-art concepts and techniques in all aspects of network virtualization. This SI will also serve as a stimulus to educate about, promote and accelerate technological evolution toward network virtualization. Specifically, the special issue will present tutorials, survey and original research articles (written in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists) that cover the following subjects (but are not limited to): - Network virtualization issues across various network technologies including optical/MPLS core networks, IP core networks, fixed broadband access network technologies - Individual network virtualization techniques for nodes and/or links - Virtual network system modelling and performance analysis - Mapping algorithms from virtual resources to physical resources and the corresponding signalling protocols - Resource allocation, scheduling, mobility management and Quality-of-Service assurance in virtualized network - Billing issues in virtualized networks - Energy efficiency/green issues - Virtual network management and adaptation - Testing and evaluation tools - Prototype systems and real-world deployment experiences Manuscript Submission --------------------- With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://dl.comsoc.org/ni/. Authors should submit their manuscripts through ScholarOne for IEEE Network Magazine.
