17 Sep '09

============================================================================ IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on "Future Internet: New Applications and Emerging Services" (http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/cfp/cfpnetwork0710.html) ============================================================================ Background The Internet has been successfully deployed for several decades due to its high flexibility in running over different physical mediums and supporting different high layer protocols and applications including traditional file transfer, e-mail, and client-server based web applications. Meanwhile, we have witnessed the unprecedented development and growth of new applications and services in recent years ranging from peer-to-peer (P2P) based applications, image and video applications, location-based services, secured transactions, online hosting services, machine-to-machine (M2M) interactions, and cloud computing. These new applications and emerging services have, in different degree, demanded better than the current best-effort quality of service. The future Internet is expected to be more agile, scalable, secure and reliable, which has been considered and pursued in research projects such as NSF FIND (Future Internet Design) and GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations) programs in the United States, and EIFFEL (Evolved Internet Future for European Leadership) and FIREworks (Future Internet Research and Experimentation - Strategy Works) projects in Europe. Such ever-emerging applications with different requirements and implications for the future Internet design pose a significantly new set of problems and challenges, which are not well understood, specifically : 1) how can they be efficiently provisioned in the future Internet? 2) how can the future Internet be evolved and/or re-designed possible with radical changes to cater for new applications and services? The goal of this special issue is to feature recent and emerging Internet applications and services, their performance, impact, demands and implications for future Internet design. Scope Papers should contain substantial tutorial content and be accessible to a general audience of researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *Peer-to-peer applications including file transfer, live video streaming and VoD *Utility computing, cloud computing, cloud storage networks *Online hosting services *E-commerce, secured transactions *Mobile services, location-based services *New service provisioning, quality of service issues *Impact on backbone and ISP design. Submission Guidelines This special issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Network author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html for information about content and formatting of submissions. The manuscripts must be written in a tutorial manner and in English. Please submit a PDF version of complete papers including a cover letter with author contact information via e-mail to FutureInternetSI(a)GMAIL.COM before the deadline. Important Dates Submissions deadline: December 15, 2009 Author notifications: March 1, 2010 Final manuscripts due: May 1, 2010 Expected publication date: July 2010 Guest Editors Bo Li Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Email: bli(a)cse.ust.hk Haibo Lin Huawei Tech.

[Tccc] Call for Papers - IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Biologically Inspired Networking
by Dinesh Verma 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Call For Papers: IEEE Network Magazine "Biologically Inspired Networking" Guest Editors: Dinesh Verma, IBM (dverma(a)us.ibm.com) Pietro Lio, University of Cambridge (pietro.lio(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) Scope: Computer Networks deployed in the field today lack many of the features which are demonstrated in the operation and mechanisms of biological networks. Some examples of features where biological networks have an advantage include their ability to maintain homeostatic environments, adapt rapidly to environmental changes, self-organize, assemble simple structures into complex tasks, autonomous operations, self-replication, protection against attacks of various natures, etc. While computer networking has many features which perform better than any biological system, it is a reasonable proposition that application of biologically inspired techniques to computing systems and networks will improve on the current state of the art in computer networks. This special issue is focused on highlighting approaches for designing computer networks that are biologically inspired, and which show an improvement in some aspect of the current state of computer networking. The goal is to develop techniques that improve the adaptability, scalability and autonomicity of comptuer networks.
