-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP]: ACM/IFIP/USENIX 11th International Middleware Conference 2010 Datum: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 09:55:11 -0500 Von: Ningfang Mi <ningfang(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CFP: Middleware 2010 (Submission Due: May 23, 2010) (Please accept our apologies for cross posting) ======================== Middleware 2010 ACM/IFIP/USENIX 11th International Middleware Conference November 29 - December 3, 2010, Bangalore, India http://2010.middleware-conference.org/index.html ======================== CALL FOR PAPERS The Middleware conference is a forum for the discussion of important innovations and recent advances in the design, implementation, deployment, and usage of middleware. Middleware is a distributed-systems software that resides between a rich variety of applications on the one hand, and the underlying architecture on the other hand which may consist of the OS, hardware, and network stacks or even databases, storage and different cloud services. The goals of middleware include providing abstractions, programmability, performance, scalability, security, and a variety of essential features. This is a rapidly evolving and growing field. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 11th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research and technology in 2010. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed system platforms and architectures for current and future computing, storage, and communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, poster and demo presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops. Submissions on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: Middleware platforms: * Middleware for emerging cloud computing, datacenters, and server farms * Middleware for traditional clusters and Grid computing * Middleware for data-intensive computing * Middleware for mobile devices, ubiquitous and mobile computing * Middleware for sensor and embedded systems * Middleware for Web services and Web-service composition * Event-based, publish/subscribe, and message-oriented middleware * Middleware for system management and monitoring * Middleware for next generation telecommunication platforms * Internet-based communication protocols and data transfer middleware * Middleware support for multimedia and tele-immersion * Middleware supporting service-oriented architectures * Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective middleware approaches * Semantic middleware * Middleware solutions for distributed databases * Peer-to-peer middleware solutions * Novel middleware solutions for industry frameworks Systems issues for Middleware: * Reliability and fault-tolerance * Scalability and performance * Energy- and power-aware techniques * Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling * Security and Information assurance * Storage and file systems * Parallelized execution and techniques * Dynamic configuration and self- or autonomic- management of middleware * Real-time solutions and quality of service * Evaluation and deployment: challenges, techniques and lessons Design principles and tools: * Programming frameworks, parallel programming and design methodologies for middleware * Empirical and deployment studies for middleware solutions * Debugging and distributed debugging of middleware * Probabilistic Techniques and approaches for middleware * Methodologies and tools for middleware design, implementation, verification, and evaluation * Formal methods, verification and software engineering for middleware * Old Wine: Revisiting classical middleware paradigms, e.g., object models, aspect orientation, etc. ========================= Industry Papers The conference strongly encourages submission of industry-focused papers and use case studies; full papers should be submitted to the main program, where they will be reviewed using appropriate criteria (e.g. emphasizing experience and system evolution), and accepted papers will be published in the main conference proceedings. Additionally, short industry-focused papers (10 pages, Springer LNCS style) may be submitted to a special industrial track; accepted short papers will be presented at the conference and published in the ACM Digital Library. Note that submissions to the main program may indicate a willingness to be referred to the Industrial Track if a paper is not accepted to the main program. Big Ideas Papers This year, we particularly encourage "big ideas papers"; that is papers that have the potential for opening up new research directions. For such papers, the potential to motivate new research is more important than full experimental evaluation, though some preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the approach or idea is important. Authors should indicate in the introduction that their paper is a vision of a big idea, rather than more mature work. Such papers should clearly indicate why the idea is revolutionary and not evolutionary; what the major questions still to be answered are; and possible avenues of attack for the community to pursue towards the development of the idea. ========================= Submission Guidelines Submissions will be handled via the conference web page at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/Middleware2010 ========================= Important Dates May 16, 2010: Abstract Submission May 23, 2010 (11:59pm PST): Paper Submission August 5, 2010: Notification of acceptance August 20, 2010: Camera ready due November 29 - December 3, 2010: Conference ========================= There will be a separate call for workshops, for tutorials, and for the Doctoral Symposium.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition Datum: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 12:52:24 +0100 Von: Anders Lindgren <andersl(a)sics.se> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please note that the workshop is held the week after Sigcomm 2010 (which is in Delhi), so if you plan to attend Sigcomm, the extra travel expenses for ExtremeCom will be small. Also make sure to check the web site for the exciting opportunity offered to the recipient of the best student paper award. /Anders -------- Call for Papers and Demos for The 2nd Extreme Workshop on Communication - The Himalayan Expedition (ExtremeCom 2010) September 4-10, 2010 The Extreme Workshop on Communication (ExtremeCom) intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas related to challenged networks in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. Such networks include delay and disruption tolerant networks, sparse sensor networks, power-efficient networking, as well as other networking paradigms for rural and remote areas. We aim to do this through a real-life experience in the Indian Himalayan region. Dharamsala, where the workshop will take place, is a well-frequented and loved destination for visitors. This mountainous town presents a unique mix of cultures and spiritual traditions and is also a starting point to a number of spectacular trekking trails. Dharamsala is also the place where Dharamsala Community Network came to life in February 2005, following the deregulation of WiFi for outdoor use in India. Built and operated by AirJaldi, a social enterprise, the network grew from 8 campuses in 2005 to over 2,000 computers spread in campuses, offices and homes within a radius of 70Km. in and around Dharamsala. AirJaldi is building additional networks in other rural locations in India. The ExtremeCom 2010 workshop is planned around AirJaldi’s Dharamsala network’s locations and facilities, thereby giving participants a great opportunity to be involved in a real-life network deployment. The workshop will start with a four-day field trip into the mountain regions around Dharamsala. During this time, participants will be given the opportunity to hike along the trails in the mountains, visit local villages and Tibetan settlements and meet the local population and users of the network. The combination of trekking and meetings will give participants a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of the network, as well as provide opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants who have their own solutions for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. (We are currently planning the mountain-based part of the workshop and some details are subject to change.) During the field trip, participants will be given the chance to work with AirJaldi to set up more relays, for example in schools along the hiking trail (details to be provided at a later stage). Upon reaching the end of the hike, we will conduct a two-day technical session in a more traditional conference venue with paper presentations and demos. The focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the recent field experience they have gone through together will give participants the ability to view and discuss the topics presented with additional insights. Authors should submit a 6-page paper outlining ideas and visions about the topics of the workshop or alternatively a 2-page proposal for a demo to be shown during the workshop. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the workshop are especially solicited. The aim of the workshop is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Networked applications and services Due to logistics and the need to conduct the workshop in harmony with the local population and the environment, the number of participants may be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers. ***************************************************************************** Important dates --------------- Submission deadline: April 30, 2010 Notification of acceptance: May 30, 2010 Registration deadline: June 30, 2010 Workshop dates: September 4-10, 2010 ***************************************************************************** Organizers ---------- General co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Hosts: AirJaldi.Org Local arrangements chair: Michael Ginguld, AirJaldi, India Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St. Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Bengt Ahlgren, Swedish Insitute of Computer Science, Sweden Elizabeth M.

Resource-Constrained Networks (RCNs) include a wide variety of networks in which resources – such as processing, communication, and energy – are limited. Examples of RCNs include ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mobile networks, and pervasive systems. In RCNs, the tradeoff between data quality and resource usage (especially energy) is a major concern. In this case, Localized Algorithms and Information Fusion are particularly interesting for RCNs, since the development of efficient practical solutions and algorithms is possibly the most challenging task for such networks. On one hand, Localized Algorithms are special distributed algorithms in which only a subset of nodes partakes in the network tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, and communication. On the other hand, Information Fusion is often used for improving the quality of data being transmitted in these networks. Thus, Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion must deal with the challenge of working with partial views, or incomplete data, to provide accurate results at reduced cost. This special issue will cover a broad range of aspects of Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCNs, including ad hoc and mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, networked pervasive systems. We seek technical papers describing original (previously unpublished in any form or forum) ideas, groundbreaking results, and quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight practical deployments of RCNs, new application domains, and critical surveys of the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - In-network query processing and data storage; - Localized signal processing; - Localized estimation, reasoning, and inference; - Localized information fusion for time synchronization; - Localized information fusion for location discovery and location-based services; - Localized information fusion for reliability and fault tolerance; - Localized information fusion for communication protocols at all layers (MAC, scheduling, routing, transport, and application); - Quality-aware resource management using localized information fusion; - Mobility control and coordination; - Optimization techniques for localized information fusion in homogeneous and heterogeneous RCNs; - Localized information fusion for data compression and distributed source coding. Manuscripts must describe original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should follow the Information Fusion (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus. In the submission process, the authors should clearly indicate that the submission is to be considered for this special issue. Manuscripts must be in single-column format, doublespaced, and at least 11 pt fonts. Simultaneously, please also send without fail an electronic copy (PDF only), to the Guest Editor(s) listed below.

QoEMCS submission deadline extended: Quality of Experience for Multimedia Content Sharing workshop at EuroITV 2010
by Shelley Buchinger 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

I am looking forward to interesting and lively discussions at the workshop. Best regards, Shelley *** Paper submission deadline has been extended to 22nd of March *** [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ==================================================== QoEMCS Call for papers http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== Quality of Experience for Multimedia Content Sharing at EuroITV2010 (www.euroitv2010.org) Tampere, Finland. 9th June 2010 * Important Dates: - 22nd March 2010: Workshop paper submission - 5th April 2010: Notification of acceptance - 22nd April 2010: Camera-ready submission - 9th June 2010: QoEMCS Workshop at EuroITV 2010 Workshop web site: http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== In recent years, it has been realized that the success of multimedia services or applications not only depends on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters but also relies on the analysis of the entire user experience (UX). The relevance of this paradigm ranges from IPTV or video-on-demand systems for distributing and sharing professional TV to user-generated content over the web. To obtain a pleasurable user experience far more aspects than QoS have to be taken into account. Major challenges in this context include the identification of relevant UX factors and the quantification of their influence on Quality of Experience (QoE). In particular, context awareness and assessment of users? expectations play an essential role. This is further justified by the emergence of new multimedia enhancement techniques, notably 3DTV and Free Viewpoint. Future Internet architectures under current research are also promising on the possibility to accommodate protocols and policies that take QoE issues into consideration. Consequently, acquired knowledge on the context and on identified parameters affecting users? experience could be used to improve media delivery. * Workshop objectives The objective of this workshop consists in collecting and developing knowledge on the following three main topics defining the session structure of the workshop: - Context awareness for multimedia applications (video on demand on the web, content sharing, user-generated & professional content, IPTV, social aspects, sensors, energy efficiency) - Content and context aware quality measurements (user-generated & professional content, live & on demand) - Content and context aware interplay between media service/applications and network strategies. Namely, QoE support in the future internet architectures. * Research topics The central research question consists in determining key elements (including content and context information) for QoE assessment and evaluation of web.sharing.tv.content and to use this information to shape the future internet. - Context awareness - QoE for content sharing over the web and for IPTV - Subj./Obj. quality evaluation in the context of use, context-aware solutions (situation specificity, interactivity, user-generated & professional content) - Media Transmission over the Future Internet - 3D Multimedia and Free ViewPoint - Interactive multimedia QoE support * Submission Workshop papers should not exceed a maximum length of three pages and follow the ACM Style Guidelines (http://webhotel2.tut.fi/emmi/euroitv2010/node/37). Please send your workshop paper to: shelley.buchinger(a)univie.ac.at * Publication Workshop contributions will be published in the EuroITV proceedings. * Technical Program Committee - Sergio Becker, Orange Labs, (FR) - Manora Caldera, Curtin University of Technology (AUS) - Touradj Ebrahimi, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Markus Fiedler, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) - Helmut Hlavacs, University of Vienna (AUT) - Maulana Kusuma, Gunadarma University (ID) - Hendrik Knoche, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Patrick Le Callet, Université de Nantes (FR) - Andreas Mauthe, Lancaster University (UK) - Maria Paula Queluz, Instituto de Telecomunicações and IST (POR) - Bijan Rohani, Phybit, (SG) - Burkhard Stiller, Universität Zürich (CH) * Organizing Committee - Shelley Buchinger, University of Vienna (AUT) - Rui Jorge Lopes, Instituto de Telecomunicações and ISCTE-IUL (POR) - Satu Jumisko-Pyykkö, Tampere University of Technology (FIN) - Hans-Jürgen Zepernick, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) ======================================================== _______________________________________________ ituvidq mailing list ituvidq(a)its.bldrdoc.gov http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/mailman/listinfo/ituvidq
