by Nischal.Piratla＠telekom.de 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Sincere apologies for duplication, if you have received it through other channels. Call for Papers: WNM 2009 Fourth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements, in conjunction with the 34th IEEE LCN (http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN-WNM2009/) October 20-23, 2009 Swissôtel Zürich, Schulstrasse 44, CH-8050 Zürich, Switzerland The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN). The workshop will include papers and panels dealing with latest advances and challenges facing the field. The expected audience will include networking researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry, academia and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance. The first three IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements was very successful in bringing together a set of participants actively working on network measurements in various domains. We will continue to address network measurements from different perspectives and different domains. Topics of Interest: Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is important for understanding the behavior of networks and for evaluating the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Cross-layer designs, and overlay protocols often rely on measurements. Measurements in wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and subnet measurements face domain specific constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in performing measurement itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in network measurements to discuss and exchange measurement related research in both wireless and wired domains, and also explore emerging fields of measurements such as on mobile devices. High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics including, but not limited to: Measurements on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless networks Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds Mobility models and traffic patterns Wired and wireless domain measurements Measurement tools, benchmarks and data sets Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation Active and passive measurements at core nodes End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the Internet Metrics for network characterization Measurements on Mobile devices Applications and protocols relying on network measurements Paper length should not exceed 6 pages. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format via EDAS. Papers will go through a thorough review process. The accepted papers will appear in the IEEE LCN conference proceedings and also be available via IEEE Xplore. Proposals for panel sessions are also invited.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: ExtremeCom - Extreme Workshop on Communication - The Midnight Sun Expedition]
by Lars Wolf 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ExtremeCom - Extreme Workshop on Communication - The Midnight Sun Expedition Datum: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 11:39:28 -0000 Von: Eiko Yoneki <eiko.yoneki(a)cl.cam.ac.uk> Antwort an: eiko.yoneki(a)cl.cam.ac.uk Organisation: University of Cambridge An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] ExtremeCom 2009 - http://www.extremecom.org Call for Papers and Demos for 1st Extreme Workshop on Communication - The Midnight Sun Expedition The Extreme Workshop on Communication (ExtremeCom) intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas related to delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms for rural and remote areas, in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. We aim to do this through real-life experience in the Arctic Circle region. The Padjelanta national park in Laponia, Sweden is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the home of the Saami population of semi-nomadic reindeer herders. Due to the lack of infrastructure in this area, a DTN-based networking system for the area has been developed by the SNC and N4C projects. During the summer of 2009, the fourth summer of deployment and testing for this system will take place, which makes this a unique opportunity to experience a real deployment of a DTN system. The workshop will start with a 5 day field trip into the mountain regions where the DTN system is deployed. During this time, participants will be given the opportunity to hike along the trails in the mountains and visit the Saami settlements to meet the local population and users of the system. Not only will this give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such a system, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software 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 together with the local population, and some details are subject to change.) Upon reaching the end of the hike, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos in a more traditional conference venue. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Participants should submit 2-page position papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the workshop or demo proposals 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 will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers.

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. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Localized unicast and multicast routing protocols - Localized broadcasting algorithms - Localized QoS communication protocols - Localized geocasting protocols - Localized clustering algorithms - Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks - Localized auto-configuration and network formation algorithms - Topology construction and maintenance based on local information - Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient communication - Relative positioning algorithms based on local information - Network graph properties supporting localized protocols - Localized algorithms for data management and query - Localized incentive schemes for selfish wireless networks - Localized algorithms in delay/disruption tolerant networks - Security based on local information in wireless sensor networks - Bounds analysis in localized solutions - Worst and average case analysis in localized algorithms IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: March 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: April 15, 2009 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: May 8, 2009 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages. Papers in PDF format must be submitted via Easy Chair by using the following URL: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=localgos09. All submissions must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop, and will appear in the DCOSS proceedings. Please email songwz(a)wsu.edu and wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu if you have any questions.
