-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: IWQoS 2010 Datum: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:06:42 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: itc(a)comsoc.org Apologies if you receive multiple copies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18th IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2010) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 16-18, 2010, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China http://www.ieee-iwqos.org/2010/cfp.html Improving quality of service (QoS) in both networks and end systems has been a long lasting research focus worldwide. The seventeen-year-long success of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to QoS. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to captivate much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, industrial communication, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Data centers, virtualization and cloud computing * Energy saving in networks and end systems; IT technologies to reduce energy consumption in applications * Protection, experience, security and privacy * System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and DoS attacks * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation * Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware QoS parsing, identification and control * Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification * Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management * Architectures and protocols for IP and WDM networks, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; wireless ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * Design for the future Internet Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system (http://edas.info/N8541). All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. *IMPORTANT DATES* --------------------------- Paper submission deadline: *Feb. 8, 2010* Notification of accept: April 5, 2010 Camera-ready papers: April 23, 2010 *Technical Program Committee* ------------------------------------------- Abhishek Chandra, University of Minnesota, USA Amund Kvalbein, Simula Research Laboratory, Norway Baochun Li, University of Toronto, Canada Burkhard Stiller, University of Zurich, Switzerland Byrav Ramamurthy, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Cheng-Zhong Xu, Wayne State University, USA Carlos Calafate, Technical University of Valencia, Spain Gang Feng, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China David Yau, Purdue University, USA Dan Marinescu, University of Central Florida, USA Edmundo Monteiro, University of Coimbra, Portugal Georgios Karagiannis, University of Twente, The Netherlands Haining Wang, College of William and Mary, USA Himabindu Pucha, IBM ARC, USA Iordanis Koutsopoulos, UTH, Greece Jiangchuan Liu, Simon Fraser University, Canada Joel Rodrigues IT, University of Beira Interior, Portugal John Chi Shing Lui, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Martin Reisslein, Arizona State University, USA Matthew Caesar, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Narasimha Reddy, Texas A & M University, USA Oliver Hohlfeld, TU Berlin, Germany Pascal Lorenz, University of Haute Alsace, France Patrick Pak-Ching Lee, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Qun Li, College of William and Mary, USA Rade Stanojevic, Telefonica Research, Spain Sridhar Machiraju, Google, USA Srihari Nelakuditi, University of South Carolina, USA Steve Uhlig, TU Berlin/T-labs, Germany Torsten Braun, University of Bern, Switzerland Vasilios Siris, ICS-FORTH / Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Weiyi Zhang, North Dakota State University, USA Xiuzhen Cheng, George Washington Univ., USA Xue Liu, McGill University, Canada Yan Chen, Northwestern University, USA ... -- Xiaoming Fu, http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~fu

The workshop will retain the LAN/MAN mainstay of Local and Metropolitan area networking, including edge applications. This year, the workshop will also focus on two compelling issues for edge networks that are currently experiencing significant change and innovation: the first is the design of scalable architectures for enterprise and data center networks. This area is motivated by the evolution of mega-scale data centers for which traditional layer-2 network designs simply do not scale, as well as the need to better design enterprise networks that carry increasing high bit-rate traffic. The second focus area is the design of scalable mechanisms and protocols for network management and trouble-shooting in home and enterprise networks. Currently, many of these issues are handled manually --- this practice is simply not scalable as home and enterprise networks get larger and user needs get more demanding. LAN/MAN seeks both theoretical and experimental contributions. Single-track presentations are planned to stimulate technical exchange among researchers and practitioners with a broad interest in networking. We expect the workshop to be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on new architectures, paradigms, concepts, and economic and service models. Novel and speculative ideas are particularly encouraged. We also encourage studies based on measurements from real-life networks and testbeds. Extended abstracts are solicited on any LAN/MAN topic including, but not limited to, the following: * Broadband Wireless Access, including WiMAX * WiFi: roaming services, Architectures & Performance * Metropolitan & Residential Networks and Architectures including Ethernet in the First Mile, EPONs, FTTx etc. * IPTV, video delivery and applications * SANs and Storage over MANs * IEEE 802 standards * Optical WDM networks based on packet, burst, and flow switching * RFid protocols & performance * Topology adaptation, reconfigurability, routing * Network management related to Edge Networks * Heterogeneous Wireless and Ad-Hoc Networks * Ubiquitous wireless, wired and remote access * Adaptive wireless networks including cognitive radios * Measurement, modeling and performance evaluation * Cross layer QoS, dynamic bandwidth allocation, capacity placement/provisioning * Network reliability and survivability * Network security * Pricing, multi-vendor interoperability * LAN and MAN based applications (gaming, distributed computing, media distribution to and in the home, enterprise applications, ambient technology, wearable-computing) * Impact of sensors everywhere including homes *Paper Registration: February 5, 2010, 8 pm EDT * Paper Submission: February 12, 2010, 8 pm EDT Poster Submission: March 10, 2010, 8 pm EDT Paper Notification: March 20, 2010 Camera-ready Submission: April 10, 2010 Workshop Dates: May 5-7, 2010 PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IEEE LAN/MAN 2010 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and must present the paper at the conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue: Telecom System Topic on Mobile Sensor Networks Datum: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:10:33 +0900 Von: <lei.shu(a)live.ie> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, cnom(a)inf.ufsc.br, commsoft(a)IEEE.ORG, WTC.Mail(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca> CC: lei.shu(a)ieee.org Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems Journal http://www.springer.com/journal/11235 (Springer) (SCI indexed) Special Issue on “Recent Advance in Mobile Sensor Networks” Scope The continuous growing technique of sensor networks has enabled many new applications in which mobility of sensor nodes (controllable sensors and uncontrollable sensors) are explored, such as sea monitoring, animal migration and patrol defense. Unlike existing wireless sensor networks which are composed of static sensors and sink nodes, wireless mobile sensor networks allows diverse entities to move within the network field all the time, e.g., mobile base station, mobile sensor nodes, mobile relay nodes, mobile cluster heads. Enabling mobility in traditional static sensor networks makes a great impact on most existing research solutions and poses a large number of research challenging issues in both communication and data management aspects, e.g., challenges for localization in mobile sensor networks, challenges for providing coverage services by mobile sensor networks, and challenges for data collection in mobile sensor networks. On the other hand, these challenges in mobile sensor networks also provides lots of opportunities that researchers can leverage the mobility feature to exploring improvement for traditional solutions and methods in various aspects, e.g., node localization, network coverage, and data collection/streaming/management. This special issue is seeking papers working on these challenges of the mobile ad hoc and sensor networks from the academia researchers and the industry practitioners, as well as papers that addressing various hot topics of the mobile sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Data Aggregation and Data Dissemination in Mobile Sensor networks • Query Processing and Data Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Autonomic Computing with Mobile Sensor networks • Topology Control and Coverage Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Applications and Evolutions of Mobile Sensor networks • Physical Layer Design of Mobile Sensor networks • MAC Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • QoS Provisioning in Medium Access Control & Routing for Mobile Sensor networks • Analytical, Mobility, and Validation Models for Mobile Sensor networks • Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Mobile Sensor networks • Integrated Simulation and Test bed for Mobile Sensor networks • Measurement based Evaluation for Mobile Sensor networks • Distributed Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Pricing Modeling and Solutions with Mobile Sensor networks • Energy Saving and Power Control Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • Resource Management Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Synchronization and Scheduling Issues in Mobile Sensor networks • Service Discovery for Mobile Sensor networks • Cross-layer Design and Interactions in Mobile Sensor networks • Mobile Service and QoS Management for Mobile Sensor networks • Survivability and Reliability Evaluation and Modeling for Mobile Sensor networks • Security, Trust and Privacy Issues in Mobile Sensor networks Submission: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web -- Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:17:48 +0100 Von: Philipp Kärger <kaerger(a)l3s.de> An: undisclosed-recipients:; [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS SPOT2010 Second International Workshop on Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web http://spot.semanticweb.org/2010/ Co-located with ESWC2010 (the 7th European / Extended Semantic Web Conference) The Semantic Web is becoming reality as it is an integrated component of the Web we are browsing everyday - be it the Open Linked Data movement that nowadays exposes over 10 billion triples of RDF or the annotated and structured information available on Web pages used by major search engines, such as Yahoo! SearchMonkey and Google. Moreover, social data about people and their interaction is made available in machine-understandable format in projects like FOAF or SIOC. Facing this amount of data, privacy and trust consideration is an important step to take right now. The challenging research questions arising from this movement include: * How do people know that the data gathered from several sources for reasoning purposes can be trusted? * How can one avoid that personal data exposed on the Semantic Web will be combined with other available semantic data in a way that sensitive information may be revealed? * How shall a safe reasoning process look like that does not end up in a conflict only because a single Semantic Web peer exposed a contradiction? We expect discussions and results concerning questions like these at SPOT2010 leading to solutions and research results in the realm of Semantic Web and social data for the pervasive issue of privacy and trust on the Web. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================================ The list of topics that aims to be covered by the workshop include, but is not limited to: Semantic Technologies for Trust and Privacy on the Web * Privacy by generalization of answers * Ontologies for trust and privacy * Semantic Web policies * Usage control and accountability * Policy representation and reasoning * Semantic Web technologies for access control Trusted Knowledge Representation and Reasoning on the Semantic Web * Data provenance and trustworthiness of knowledge sources * Trust-enabled linked data * Ontology hijacking * Scalability of trust and privacy on the Semantic Web Trust and Privacy for Social Applications * Trust and privacy in social online communities (e.g., SIOC) * Privacy in Semantic Web sharing applications (e.g., semantic desktop) * User profiling and modeling vs. privacy * Privacy and community mining * Trust and reputation metrics * Usage mining and policy extraction * Privacy awareness in social communities * The Semantic Web as a trust enabler * Social Network annoyance, social software fatigue, social spam * Managing information overload on the Social Web with privacy metrics * Trust and privacy for social software on mobile devices SUBMISSIONS ================================ Papers will have to be formatted using the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions for the Research Papers and Demos and Applications will be made using the EasyChair Conference System, and proceedings of the papers will be provided through the CEUR online service. The following types of contributions are welcome: * Research Papers: short (up to 6 pages) and full (up to 12 pages) technical papers that aims to explore how Semantic Web technologies can provide solutions to trust and privacy issues on the Web, focusing on one or more topics from the various ones identified within the main CFP. Especially, we very welcome papers focusing on theoretical work as well as applications regarding the benefits of Semantic Web technologies to solve these issues. The papers should clearly define the motivation of the work with relevant scenarios and should also provide a clear overview and evaluation of the benefits of the proposed approaches; * Demos and Applications: participants have to submit a two-page paper containing a demo description together with a URI where the demo is available on-line and meeting the following conditions: (1) It must use Semantic Web technologies (such as RDF, SPARQL, FOAF, SIOC, etc.); (2) It must deal with person or person-related semantic data (such as profiles, buddylists, reviews, comments, etc.) and (3) additionally, the demo may operate on a real social platform, such as MySpace, Facebook, netvibes or iGoogle. Papers shall be submitted in PDF format to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spot2010 IMPORTANT DATES ================================ Submission deadline: March 7, 2010 (23:59 pm Hawaii time, GMT-10) Notification of acceptance: April 5, 2010 Camera-ready paper submission: April 18, 2010 Workshop: May 30 or May 31, 2010 WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION ================================ The workshop will be co-located with the ESWC in Heraklion (Greece), and will be held on the 30th or 31st of May 2010.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] Semantic Interoperability for Smart Spaces (SISS'10, workshop within IEEE ISCC, Italy): paper submission deadline = Feb. 28 Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:32:13 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp ******************************************************************************************************************************* Call for Papers First International Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Smart Spaces (SISS 2010) organized in association with the IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2010) 22 June 2010, Riccione, Italy - http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2010/ Deadline for paper submission: February 28, 2010 ********************************************************************************************************************************** Smart spaces will play a crucial role in the market of devices, services, and applications for the next years and in the everyday users' experience with the personal, home, and urban environments where citizens work and live. The effective design, implementation, and run-time support of smart applications in wide-scale pervasive environments are considered still very open challenges nowadays. Currently, the high costs still associated with the development of these smart applications are limiting their widespread adoption and their potential impact on the mass market of final users. Costs relevantly derive from the complexity of integrating already deployed heterogeneous systems, from differentiated sensors providing data in different formats via heterogeneous wireless technologies, and from nodes with differentiated capabilities/resources to highly heterogeneous legacy services. The First International Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Smart Spaces (SISS 2010) aims at soliciting and promoting the discussion among academic/industrial researchers, practitioners in the field, and most relevant industry players about the above issue of cost reduction via interoperability, with the primary guideline of addressing interoperability of heterogeneous devices and systems via the adoption of proper semantic solutions for open smart spaces. The focus will be on novel and open innovation platforms for the effective sharing of interoperable information in smart environments: smart applications should have the possibility to effectively and easily access to highly interoperable and shared information spaces that maintain data/metadata of common interest (sensed monitored data, information about currently available resources/services, ). Contributions to SISS 2010 should address the technical challenges arising from emerging smart spaces, capable of openly including new devices, systems, applications, and final users, and to properly scale up to the challenging size of urban-wide scenarios.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - WiNMee 2010 Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 09:14:05 +0000 Von: Tristan Henderson <tristan(a)cs.st-andrews.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ============================================================= Our apologies for duplicated copies of this CFP. ============================================================= WiNMee 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS The 6th International workshop on Wireless Network Measurements May 31, 2010, Avignon, France http://www.thlab.net/winmee10/ Scope The rise in wireless technologies for both local and wide-area networking, such as ZigBee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 3G and LTE, means that the Internet is increasingly wireless. To better understand the nature of these changes, it is important to evaluate these technologies in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We solicit 6-page papers that advance the understanding of wireless networks through testbed measurements or field experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - operational experience of the performance of wireless networks - challenges with wireless measurements - experimental (in) validation of simulation or mobility models and 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 - descriptions of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds (e.g. wireless link emulation) - large-scale or federated testbed measurements - techniques for improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration - techniques for validating the results obtained in the wireless testbed - techniques for measuring heterogenous wireless networks - techniques for collecting, archiving, anonymising and sharing wireless measurement data - new measurement hardware platforms, e.g., cognitive radio Important dates: Paper registration deadline: February 17th, 2010 Paper submission deadline: February 24th, 2010 Notification of acceptance: April 1st, 2010 Camera-ready papers due: April 23rd, 2010 Workshop date: May 31st, 2010 Keynote speakers To be announced shortly.

This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of mobile computing and cloud computing. The scope of the MCS workshop will encompass system and networking topics such as mobile cloud computing platforms and services, mobile social networks, device virtualization, notification services, data mining services and location services. Mobile phone applications demand greater resources and improved interactivity for better user experience. Resources in cloud computing platforms such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google AppEngine are a natural fit to remedy the lack of local resources in mobile devices. Mobile cloud computing refers to an infrastructure where data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device enabling a new class of applications previously not possible, e.g. context-aware mobile social networks. Mobile cloud computing is poised to become a disruptive force in the mobile world. While prior work on thin client related research is relevant, the availability of cloud computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, the paradigm shift introduced by social networks, the advances in virtualization, the emergence of LTE and WiMAX, IEEE 802.11n and 60 GHz, and mobile application programming platforms create a rich new set of research challenges and opportunities. Suggested topics for paper submissions include but are not limited to: • Mobile cloud computing programming model • Mobile social networks: applications and experiences, system design and architecture • Data services and architectures • Cloud-assisted energy management of mobile devices • Mobile device virtualization • Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud • Large scale mobile cloud applications • Data privacy and security • High availability and reliability • Economic considerations in offering mobile cloud computing services • Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the cloud • Data mining and machine learning in mobile cloud computing • Context-aware services and computing IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: April 2, 2010 by 11:55 pm ET Notification of acceptance: May 3, 2010 Final camera-ready paper: May 17, 2010 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts would be submitted in PDF format using the ACM camera-ready templates available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. In addition to the full-length research papers (limited to 8 pages), the workshop invites vision papers (limited to 5 pages).
