There has always been an answer to all requirements, no matter whether caused by new applications or technologies. So, over time the formerly simple and clear Internet architecture has become a patchwork of new balconies, workarounds and bypasses. In this conference track we aim to discuss the two mainstreams of network advances: the "Clean-Slate Approach" as well as the "Evolutionary Approach". Beside future networks also new applications, especially in the field of social networks, are becoming popular. This conference track addresses the technical issues of such and other emerging applications. Decentralized applications for open communities require new solutions for resources provisioning, rating of user generated content and services and for security. We invite you to contribute to this conference track by submitting proposals in one or more of the categories outlined below. Submissions may address requirement analysis, specific approaches and presentations of first solutions. Future Networks * Future Internet architectural issues, clean slate and evolutionary approaches * Cross-layer design and optimization * Separating of identity and address (locator/ID split) * Network virtualization * Network and service management * Self-engineering communications * Content based routing * Security and privacy Future Applications * Video and audio casting * Approaches and reliability of collective rating and description of content and services * Supporting collaborative work * Distributed resources / distributed computing * Grid and cloud computing We encourage submissions demonstrating the potential of new applications by providing case studies, experiments, and quantitative data. We encourage submissions demonstrating the potential of new approaches by providing case studies, experiments, and quantitative data.

[Tccc] Deadline approaching: JSAC Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking' sent to authors of NetCri07
by Moustafa Youssef 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

Our apology if you receive multiple posts of this announcement. ====================================================================== JSAC CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking Mission-Critical Networking (MCN) refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection and operation, emergency and crisis intervention, healthcare services, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity, emergent behaviors, and the need for reliable and timely response. MCN should comprise networking technology, infrastructures and services that may alleviate the risk and directly enable and enhance connectivity for mission-critical information exchange among diverse, widely-dispersed, mobile users. A primary challenge to MCN is to deploy and dynamically configure and evolve communication networks that are dependable, autonomic, secure, adaptive, and rapidly deployable to support critical missions and their priorities. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of both authorized and unauthorized entities, quality-of-service aware audio and video communication, emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, on-demand federation, and service-oriented architecture. Also important is the integration of MCN with the Internet to reduce cost of deployment and maintenance and to enhance reachability and ubiquity. This special issue of the Journal on Selected Areas in Communications solicits high quality technical contributions in mission-critical networking including, but not limited to: - Architecture and design of MCN and next-generation emergency calling and alerting - Rapidly and dynamically deployable services and networks - Evolving "elastic" networking with decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation - Federation and policy management for heterogeneous networks and protocols - Trust, security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and management for MCN - Sensor and actuator networks for critical information gathering, tracking and real-time control - MCN traffic and mobility analysis - Formal methodology for cognitive, autonomic, and context-aware protocols and network management - Spectrum management and access - Testbeds, benchmarks, performance and experimental studies ** Paper Submission Manuscripts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review. Argument justifying contribution specific to the unique features of MCN must be provided. Prospective authors should follow the IEEE JSAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors at: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to mcn-jsac(a)criticalnet.org according to the following timetable: - Manuscript submission: April 1, 2009 - First review notification: August 1, 2009 - Revised manuscript due: October 1, 2009 - Acceptance notification: November 1, 2009 - Final manuscript due: January 2, 2010 - Publication: June, 2010 ** Guest Editors - Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA - Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Switzerland - Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas, USA - Moustafa Youssef, Nile University, Egypt - Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University, USA - Mario Gerla, UCLA, USA - David Du, National Science Foundation and University of Minnesota, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] EMNs 2009 CFP: The First International Workshop on Emerging Mobile Networks, Indianapolis, USA
by Chellappan, Sriram 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

EMNs 2009 CFP The First International Workshop on Emerging Mobile Networks (EMNs'2009) 19-21 August 2009, Indianapolis, USA http://sun0.cs.uca.edu/~EMNs To be held in conjunction with: The 12th International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems (NBiS 2009) Scope Mobility is rapidly turning out to be a critical component of many next generation systems. Chief among these include Mobile Vehicular Networks, Mobile Social Networks, Mobile Sensor Networks, Next Generation Cellular Networks among others. While mobility itself has been a well studied topic, the emphasis has for a long time centred around the theme of Mobile AdHoc Networks (MANETs). Unfortunately, many of the assumptions in traditional MANETs including mobility models, purpose/ scope of mobility, social aspects, network scale, and security do not hold in many emerging mobile networks. Consequently, existing theories, architectures and protocols in traditional MANETs for issues like mobility models, data delivery, data management, security, privacy etc. are clearly not enough for emerging mobile networks, and need a ground-up redesign. Furthermore, a vast number of newer problems are emerging in such networks like vehicular safety, fairness in content sharing, mobility centric threats and countermeasures, and newer application paradigms that have hitherto not been explored in sufficient detail. The goal of this workshop is to provide a technical forum for researchers, practitioners and students to disseminate and exchange original research ideas on important topics in a wide class of emerging mobile networks. Topics of interest We are soliciting original and unpublished research papers on a broad spectrum of topics in the following areas including (but not limited to):  Mobility models for emerging mobile networks  Cross Layer Optimizations  Security and Privacy  Content Sharing and Management  Intra and Inter Vehicular Communications  Next generation Cellular Networks  Social aspects  Intelligent transportation systems  New Applications for mobile networking  Simulation, Emulation and testbeds for large-scale mobile networks  Performance, scalability, reliability and efficiency of mobile networks  Mobility Centric threats and countermeasures Paper Submission Guideline Submit a full paper with 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. The papers will be carefully evaluated based on relevance, originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Authors can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page: URL: http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm EMNs-09's submission web site can be accessed at: http://sun0.cs.uca.edu/~EMNs Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] CFP: The 2nd International Workshop on Adaptation in Wireless Sensor Networks (AWSN-09) Datum: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:14:53 +0100 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)iet.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mail.ing.unibo.it [Apologies for possible multiple copies] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd International Workshop on Adaptation in Wireless Sensor Networks (AWSN-09) http://tweb.ing.unipi.it/awsn09 In Conjunction with The 7th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC 2009) Vancouver, Canada, August 29-31, 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are networked embedded systems that rely on wireless communication. WSNs are supposed to run long-lived applications. During operation, applications are likely to experience unpredictable environment conditions that require to dynamically change their behavior. With current reprogramming technology, such an adaptation is still an open issue, as it can be achieved either at the expense of significant energy consumption or through software complexity. The challenge is to achieve WSN systems that not only embed intelligence into environments, but also have embedded intelligence for reprogramming themselves after their deployment. The workshop aims at stimulating researchers and practitioners in embedded and ubiquitous computing, autonomic computing, ad-hoc networking and all other relevant areas to present their ideas and work in progress for advancing the technologies that enable adaptive WSN applications. * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Re-configurable, adaptive applications * Context-awareness * Self-healing, self-protection, self-configuration, self-optimization * Agents and distributed computing * Embedded Virtual machines * Viral programming * Opportunistic computing * Intelligent power management and coverage * Adaptive wireless communication and networks * Security and fault-tolerance --------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION The program committee encourage original, high-quality submissions from researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. All papers will be reviewed according to their originality, significance, correctness, presentation and relevance. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. Please follow the submission instructions that will be made available at the workshop's website. --------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: April 15, 2009 Authors Notification: May 25, 2009 Camera-ready Paper due: June 15, 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP CHAIRS Marco Avvenuti, University of Pisa, Italy (m.avvenuti(a)iet.unipi.it) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy (a.vecchio(a)iet.unipi.it) PROGRAM COMMITTEE Rachel Cardell-Oliver, The University of Western Australia, Australia Mario Giovanni C.A.

[Tccc] Final Call for Submissions: PhD Forum (co-located with MobiSys 2009)
by Jacob Sorber 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

Apologies if you received multiple copies of this mail. ----------------------------------- Final Call For Submissions A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services June 22, 2009 Krakow, Poland http://prisms.cs.umass.edu/~sorber/mobisysforum09/<http://prisms.cs.umass.edu/%7Esorber/mobisysforum09/> Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2009 ----------------------------------- 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. 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 15 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. A summary of the student's dissertation research (up to 3 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.2009(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 15, 2009 Notification Deadline: April 15, 2009 Camera-ready: May 1, 2009 Forum Date: June 22, 2009 Panelists: Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research Landon Cox, Duke University Per Gunningberg, Uppsala University David Johnson, Rice University (Additional panelists to be announced later pending confirmation) Organizers: General Chairs: Jacob Sorber, UMass-Amherst Aruna Balasubramanian, UMass-Amherst Steering Committee Chair: Arta Doci, Colorado School of Mines Program Chairs: Ashish Sharma, UC Santa Barbara Nilesh Mishra, USC Program Committee: Yuvraj Agarwal, UC San Diego Ganesh Ananthanarayanan, UC Berkeley Eiman Elnahrawy, Rutgers University Annarita Gianim UC Berkeley Sayandeep Sen, University of Wisconsin-Madison Eugene Shih, MIT Please send any questions to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
