-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MMFN 2011 (WPMC) DEADLINE EXTENSION (24 May) Datum: Sun, 15 May 2011 21:29:39 +0200 Von: <philippe.bertin(a)orange-ftgroup.com> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers MMFN 2011 International Workshop on Mobility Management for Flat Networks 6 October 2011 (date to be confirmed) In conjunction with the 14th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communication - WPMC 2011 www.wpmc2011.org 3-6 October, 2011 Brest, France Technically co-sponsored by IEEE ComSoc, IEEE Section France and SEE CFP available on http://www.wpmc2011.org/Call_for_papers_MMFN_2011-591-0-0-0.html GOALS FOR THE WORKSHOP ---------------------- Cellular networks architectures rely on hierarchical and centralised mobility anchoring functions tracking mobile nodes location and movements while supporting mobile traffic management and indirections. It is now recognized that such approaches lead to scalability issues like the creation of networks bottlenecks in central mobility anchoring functions as well as efficiency issues in cascading several per-user traffic encapsulation/de-capsulation functions. Hence, with the exponential growth in mobile data services usage, scalability and quality of service issues are foreseen even if most of users are not on the move while communicating. Considering the current trend in flattening networks architectures, new means of supporting mobility can be envisaged in a more distributed and dynamic fashion. Such considerations include end-hosts and network schemes. In end-hosts schemes, mobility is provided at end-hosts level only, i.e. without requiring mobility management functions support in the network. Some examples are the use of facility offered by transport (M-TCP, SCTP) or application (SIP, HTTP Streaming) layer protocols in switching IP addresses used for end-to-end communications. In network schemes, new distributed mobility management approaches consider the distribution of anchoring functions among flat networking entities. The main motivation is the elimination of nowadays single point of failures and user traffic bottlenecks. Thus, mobility related working groups in the IETF are now exploring requirements and solutions supporting DMM (Distributed Mobility Management). These new approaches promise the delivery of a better quality of service together with more open networks, well suited to the provision of heterogeneous access and offload solutions. They are also well suited for the integration with both content networking and cloud networking functions at the network edge. However, they may introduce new issues like security or location concerns among others whereas there consideration in the evolution of cellular networks architectures like the EPC one is not yet foreseen in the 3GPP. The goal of this workshop is to provide and further analyse a comprehensive vision in the design and issues for mobility management schemes in flat networks. WORKSHOP THEME -------------- Original papers describing both theoretical and experimental results within the scope of Flat Networks Mobility Management are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Mobility management in flat networks * Distributed and dynamic mobility support * Paging and idle mode management in distributed and dynamic mobility schemes * Fully vs partially distributed mobility architectures * Scalability issues in current hierarchical/centralised mobility schemes * End-host vs Network mobility management * Distributed Mobility Management in LTE/EPC networks * Mobility management at transport or application layers * Data mobile usages analysis and forecast * Security and traceability concerns introduced by distributed mobility schemes * Identification and location management in distributed mobility approaches * Content networking in distributed mobile networks * Cloud networking in distributed mobile networks * Resource management in heterogeneous distributed mobility schemes * Flat and heterogeneous networks topologies * Energy efficiency of distributed mobility schemes PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers in English (maximum 5 pages) electronically in PDF format through the EDAS system.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP Spatial Computing Workshop 2011 (affiliated with SASO2011)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP Spatial Computing Workshop 2011 (affiliated with SASO2011) Datum: Sat, 14 May 2011 12:52:35 +0200 Von: Stefan Dulman - EWI <S.O.Dulman(a)tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers Spatial Computing Workshop 2011 (affiliated with SASO2011) October 3, 2011, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA http://scw11.spatial-computing.org/ Description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many self-organizing or self-adaptive systems are "spatial computers" - collections of local computational devices distributed through a physical space, in which: - the difficulty of moving information between any two devices is strongly dependent on the distance between them, and - the "functional goals" of the system are generally defined in terms of the system's spatial structure. Systems that can be viewed as spatial computers are abundant, both natural and man-made. For example, in wireless sensor networks and animal or robot swarms, inter-agent communication network topologies are determined by the distance between devices, while the agent collectives as a whole solve spatially-defined problems like "analyze and react to spatial temperature variance" or "surround and destroy an enemy." Similarly, in reconfigurable microchip platforms, moving data between adjacent logic blocks is much faster than moving it across the chip, which in turn favors problems with spatial structure like stream processing. In biological embryos, each developing cell's behavior is controlled only by its local chemical and physical environment, but the eventual structure of the organism is a global property of the cellular arrangement. Moreover, a variety of successful established techniques for self-organization and self-adaptation arise from explicitly spatial metaphors, e.g., self-healing gradients. On the other hand, not all spatially distributed systems are spatial computers. The Internet and peer-to-peer overlay networks may not in general best be considered as spatial computers, both because their communication graphs have little relation to the Euclidean geometry in which the participating devices are embedded, and because most applications for them are explicitly defined independent of network structure. Spatial computers, in contrast, tend to have more structure, with specific constraints and capabilities that can be used in the design and analysis of algorithms. The goal of this workshop is to explicitly identify the idea of "spatial computing" as a theme in self-organizing and self-adaptive systems, and further to develop the study of spatial computation as a subject in its own right. We believe that progress towards identifying common principles, techniques, and research directions - and consolidating the substantial progress that is already being made - will benefit all of the fields in which spatial computing takes place. And, as the impact of spatial computing is recognized in many areas, we hope to set up frameworks to ensure portability and cross-fertilization between solutions in the various domains. Submission, Format and Proceedings -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are soliciting submissions on any aspect of spatial computing. Examples of topics of interest include, but are by no means limited to: - Languages for programming spatial computers and describing spatial tasks and patterns - Methods for compiling global programs to local rules that produce the desired global effect - Characterization of spatial self-organization phenomena as algorithmic building blocks - Characterization of error in spatial computers (e.g., error from approximating continuous space with networks of devices) - Analysis of tradeoffs between system parameters (e.g., communication radius vs. device memory consumption) - Studies of the relationship between time, propagation of information through the spatial computer, and computational complexity - Application of spatial computing principles to novel areas, or generalization of area-specific techniques - Device motion in spatial computing algorithms (e.g. the relationship between robot speed and gradient accuracy in multi-robot swarms) We encourage authors to submit papers in one of two formats: 1. Papers that develop "unifying" principles or techniques in spatial computing - these papers should be suitable in format and quality for a conference track, but avoid incrementalism. 2. Papers that demonstrate how a technique or problem from a specific area of application can usefully be generalized - these papers should be a combination of review paper and position paper, presenting the material from one area in a form comprehensible to researchers of another area, as well as a coherent technical argument generalizing the material to other areas. Although our interests are broad, we discourage authors from submitting reviews of particular application areas unless the paper explicitly connects the material to the larger technical issues of spatial computing. Papers should be no longer than 6 pages in standard IEEE two-column format. All manuscripts should be submitted in PDF form to scw11(a)spatial-computing.org. Please direct all questions to scw11(a)spatial-computing.org. Workshop proceedings will be published and archived by the IEEE.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (May 2012)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (May 2012) Datum: Fri, 13 May 2011 16:54:52 +0900 (KST) Von: Jung-Min Park<millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu =============================================== Call for Papers Special Issue on "Machine and Robotic Networking" IEEE Network Magazine =============================================== The advances in communication networking technologies have been very successful in academia, industry and consumer markets. “Being connected” becomes an essential part of our daily life. Recently, we have been also observing that the communication distance between transmitters and receivers shrinks in many commercial applications. This includes sensor/RFID networks, WiFi and near field communication (NFC) devices. Such shortened distance is mostly caused by the high volume of data demand of users. One other reason is that the modern communications is not any more for human-to-human (H2H) information exchange only but also for machine-to-machine (M2M) or machine-to-human (M2H). The inter-machine distance will be gradually decreasing in many upcoming applications. This trend adds complexity to the communication protocols with very high node density and unpredictable interference in particular in wireless networks. The machine in M2M or M2H refers to various devices from remote metering modules to vehicles or small networked robots with communication functions embedded. M2M applications and use cases currently under consideration by ETSI, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and IEEE are mainly focused on stationary nodes (machines) or at least control of node mobility is out of scope of M2M applications. However, the controllable node mobility willconstitute a core part of M2M communications. Robotic networks will belong to this class of M2M, where the position of nodes can be changed to meet the needs of M2M applications. Independently, in the automatic control and robotics community, there has been special interest in connecting multiple robots for effectively achieving the common mission of a group of autonomous robots. This area is known as networked robotics. The main background of this approach is that connecting robots with less intelligence would be more beneficial than a single isolated robot with full intelligence. In particular, there have been a group of researchers focusing on the behaviours of small animals to mimic their grouping patterns such as group navigation and communications. This special issue is dedicated to fundamentals and applications in the machine and robotic networks. The main emphasis is to introduce and to open new research horizon to the networking researchers. Those who are currently investigating protocols for inter-machine data exchange or designing a group of networked machines (including robots) are potential authors for this special issue. The comprehensive survey and forecasting of this inter-disciplinary area with deep insight on research challenges and business opportunities are also seriously considered. The special issue encourages authors to submit their papers on the specific areas, which are not strictly limited to the followings, though: · Networking protocol design for machine and robotic networks · Distributed algorithm design for machine and robotic networks · Resource management for machine and robotic networks · Networked robots with special emphasis on networking and distributed computing · Capacity issues in machine and robotic networks · Mobility issues in machine and robotic networks · Cognitive machine and robotic networks · Bio-inspired networking in robotics · Design and application issues in M2M and networked robots · Business models and use cases for M2M and networked robots The interested authors are expected to submit their papers confirming to the guidelines ofIEEE Network, http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html according to the following schedule: All paper processing will be through an online system, which will be announced later. In the mean time, you may contact the guest editors. · Paper submissions: October 15, 2011 · Notifications to authors: January 15, 2012 · Final manuscripts: March 1, 2012 · Publication of special issue: May 2012 Guest Editors Seong-Lyun Kim Yonsei University, Korea slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr Dapeng Oliver Wu University of Florida, USA wu(a)ece.ufl.edu Klaus Schilling Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg, Germany schi(a)informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references.

While there does not currently seem to be any indication that the conference may not be held safely in Tokyo in December, the committees are aware of the concerns, and ready to take appropriate actions if necessary. In early May, the organizing committee surveyed recent CoNEXT attendees on the subject of the situation in Japan. Results are available at http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2011/survey-results.pdf . Based on community feedback along with assessments by various authorities, the organizing and steering committees have decided that the conference will go on as planned in Tokyo. Thanks to all who participated in the survey for their feedback. ================================================================= The 7th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (ACM CoNEXT) will be held in Tokyo.
