The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. Scope Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management Quality of services (QoS) delivery Seamless Mobility Robust and scalable routing protocols MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover Self-configuration and synchronization Security Topology control and management Mobility models and location management Cross-layer design and interactions Modeling and performance evaluation Algorithms for localization and signal processing Implementation testbeds Operating systems and middleware Organisers Mieso Denko, University of Guelph, Canada Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany Anup Kumar, University of Louisville, USA Important Dates Submission due: July 2, 2010 (Friday) Decision notification due: August 13, 2010 (Friday) Camera-ready and registration due: Aug 31, 2010 (Tuesday) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MobiSys '10 PhD Forum Call for Submissions Datum: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:28:38 -0700 (PDT) Von: Damon Mccoy <dlmccoy(a)cs.ucsd.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you received multiple copies of this mail. Deadline Extended to March 26, 2010 ----------------------------------- Call For Submissions A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services June 15, 2010 San Francisco, CA USA http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~dlmccoy/mobisysforum10/ Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2010 ----------------------------------- Overview: The PhD Forum provides a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Travel Grants: MobiSys 2010 is pleased to provide travel support to selected US based graduate students to broaden the participation in our main conference and workshops. Travel support will provide up to $1000 per student to help cover the cost of the student's travel, lodging, meals, and conference registration fees. We encourage the participation from women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities. Preference will be given to PhD Forum participants and presenters at the main conference but we will also seriously consider applications from presenters of posters, demos, or papers at other MobiSys 2010 workshops. Travel support is made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Awards: $500 will be awarded for the best presentation at the forum. Format: This year's PhD Forum will be a one-day event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number of participants to no more than 10 presenters. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group. Submission: Submissions should consist of the following 1. An extended abstract of the student's dissertation research (up to 2 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, a clear delineation of prior work and proposed work, will help the panel provide more useful suggestions. 2. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. Authors should follow the style formatting guidelines for MobiSys papers. Submissions should be sent in PDF format to mobisys.phdforum.2010(a)gmail.com. If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 26, 2010 Notification deadline: April 9, 2010 Camera ready deadline: April 23, 2010 Event date: June 15, 2010 Panelists: Rajesh Balan, Singapore Management University Philip Levis, Stanford University David Wetherall, University of Washington Additional Panelist TBD Organizers: General Chairs: Damon McCoy, UC San Diego Jeffrey Pang, AT&T Research Steering Committee Chair: Jacob Sorber, UMass-Amherst Program Chairs: Aruna Balasubramanian, UMass-Amherst Iqbal Mohomed, Microsoft Reseach Program Committee: Michael Buettner, University of Washington Aveek Dutta - University of Colorado-Boulder Daniel Halperin - University of Washington Dongsu Han - Carnegie Mellon University Bryan Parno - Carnegie Mellon University Patrick D.

Fwd: [Tccc] Fw: CFP: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series
by Lars Wolf 14 Mar '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Fw: CFP: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:42:31 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ... Forwarding on behalf of Ying-Dar Lin: Xiaoming --------------------------------- IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: a.. Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, and stability b.. Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, and consumer handhelds c.. Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes d.. Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services e.. Network lab testing and field testing f.. Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds g.. Evaluating false positive and negative of network security h.. Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Network Testing Series." Articles to be considered for publication in the January 2011 issue must be submitted by June 1, 2010. Since this is a regular series, papers can be submitted at any time for consideration for subsequent issues. Schedule for the First Issue: Submission Deadline: June 1, 2010 Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2008 Final Manuscript Submission: November 1, 2010 Next Publication Date: January 2011 Schedule for Subsequent Issues: 2~3 issues per year with submissions at any time Series Editors Ying-Dar Lin, ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw National Chiao Tung University – Network Benchmarking Lab (NCTU-NBL), TAIWAN Erica Johnson, erica.johnson(a)iol.unh.edu University of New Hampshire – InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL), USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: LOCALGOS 2010, Papers Due March 21st Datum: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:35:18 -0800 Von: Ben Zhao <ravenben(a)cs.ucsb.edu> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Following three successful events in 2007, 2008 and 2009, the 4th International Workshop on Localized Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (LOCALGOS 2010) aims to cover comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. This workshop concentrates on such network layer problems as data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed approaches where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on various aspects of localized algorithms and protocols in this rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: GreenMetrics 2010 Workshop (in conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2010) Datum: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:50:02 -0700 (MST) Von: Niklas Carlsson <ncarlsso(a)cpsc.ucalgary.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call For Papers: GreenMetrics 2010 Workshop Monday June 14, 2010 Columbia University, New York, NY In conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2010 Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS Global climate change is a topic of increasing importance in modern society. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how improvements to or new uses of ICT can reduce the environmental impact of ICT and non-ICT processes. The workshop will provide a forum for discussions on methods to reduce the environmental impact of ICT systems, networks and applications. The workshop will also provide an opportunity to explore how ICT applications or services can reduce the environmental impact of existing non-ICT processes (e.g., quantify the reduction in carbon emissions from using tele-presence services instead of travel). This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from the (traditional) SIGMETRICS community with researchers and practitioners in relevant areas, to exchange technical ideas and experiences on how to lessen the environmental impact of ICT. Improvements should be quantified in terms of sustainability metrics such as reductions in carbon emissions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Improvements in sustainability should ideally also demonstrate that acceptable Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be maintained. This workshop will serve as a forum for the SIGMETRICS community to apply general measurement, analysis and modeling techniques to this important area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Measurement and evaluation of the sustainability of existing ICT systems * Definition and demonstration of useful sustainability metrics * Methods that systematically improve the efficiency of existing ICT systems * Tools that facilitate the design of more sustainable ICT systems * Development of models that pertain to the sustainability of ICT systems * Case studies of efforts to improve the sustainability of production ICT systems * Use of ICT systems to improve the sustainability of existing non-ICT processes In all of the above topics, "ICT systems" includes applications and services supported by ICT infrastructure. We believe that it is important to provide a medium for researchers and organizations to share insights and lessons learned as steps are taken towards improving sustainability, and strongly encourage submissions presenting research involving large-scale ICT systems such as entire data centers or enterprise-scale applications. An award will be presented for the best student paper. Important Dates: - Monday May 3, 2010: Paper Submission (hard deadline) - Monday May 17, 2010: Author Notification - Monday May 31, 2010: Final Versions Due - Monday June 14, 2010: Workshop Submission Guidelines: Papers must not exceed five double-column pages in the standard ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submissions must be submitted electronically in printable PDF form, via the EDAS system (http://www.edas.info/). The EDAS system requires you to register the title and abstract of your paper before you can upload the manuscript of the paper. The deadline for the final version of submissions is May 3, 2010, 23:59 EST. Submissions will be reviewed by the GreenMetrics program committee, from which a number of papers will be selected for presentation at the workshop. The accepted papers will be published in the March 2011 issue of ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (PER). Authors of accepted papers grant permission to ACM to publish the paper in PER and the ACM digital library. Authors do retain the copyright of their paper.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP VISA'10 (ACM SIGCOMM Workshop): 2 weeks till deadline! Datum: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:33:07 -0800 Von: Cedric J A. Westphal <cwestphal(a)docomolabs-usa.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS: VISA'10 2nd Workshop on Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures In Conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM'10, New Delhi, Aug 30th-Sept 3rd 2010 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/workshops/VISA Infrastructure virtualization has emerged as an important architecture and experimentation concept for the Internet infrastructure. The global computing and communication infrastructure will encompass (as it does today) a diverse and huge collection of networking, computing and storage resources. Together they need to form a coherent infrastructure and meet our society's requirements for the 21st century. There are many technical problems to solve to enable Infrastructure virtualization: how to discover, create and manage an infrastructure slice across diverse resources; how does virtualization extend into the data center or to the wireless edge; how to implement virtualization across heterogeneous resources and protocols; how to map an application or service to run on an infrastructure slice; what applications and capabilities are enabled by infrastructure virtualization; how does infrastructure virtualization impact the business models of network operators; and others. The goal of the workshop is to feature recent research and developments related to infrastructure virtualization; to allow exchange of ideas; and to help build a research and user community to explore and help realize the potential of infrastructure virtualization. We encourage the submission of position papers and of works which encompass the whole infrastructure virtualization (network and storage and computing resources). We solicit previously unpublished work on the following, non exhaustive, list of topics: TOPICS OF INTEREST - Infrastructure virtualization architecture; - Resource allocation to virtual slices; - Impact of infrastructure virtualization on the data center; - Management tools for infrastructure virtualization; - How can infrastructure virtualization enable or support cloud computing; - Isolation and slice independence in a virtualized infrastructure; - Integration of the wireless edge into a virtualized network; - Inter-operability and federation of virtualized infrastructures; - Cross-layer protocols for virtualized networks; - Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure; and - Security issues with virtualized infrastructure. IMPORTANT DEADLINES Paper submission deadline: March 25th, 2010 Acceptance notification: April 12th, 2010 Camera ready final submission: May 1st, 2010 Workshop: Monday August 30, or Friday September 3, 2010 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
