[Tccc] NetEval 2009- The First Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Next-Generation Networks, Boston MA, Submission deadline March 6
by Yan Luo 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS NetEval 2009 - The First Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Next-Generation Networks April 26, 2009 Boston, MA, USA http://cans.uml.edu/neteval2009.html Co-located with IEEE ISPASS'09 http://www.ispass.org/ispass2009/ The design and prototyping of the next-generation Internet has been an active research area in the networking community. Significant efforts have been devoted to revise many aspects of current network design including network architecture, network protocols, security and privacy, and service abstractions. The development of experimental network testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab, Emulab, GENI, etc.) has allowed researchers to evaluate and verify innovative designs through realistic experiments at a global scale. The design of the next-generation Internet also draws a great deal of interest from the computer architecture research community. The introduction of virtualization and programmability in router systems requires high performance embedded processing elements. Network processors, FPGAs, and multi-core processors play important roles in modern routers and switches. The expanding functionality of the next-generation Internet and the increasing complexity of its router systems pose a novel challenge for performance evaluation. Researchers and developers involved in designing and implementing new network architectures, router systems, and network applications need the ability to thoroughly evaluate and quantitatively compare the performance of these systems. Currently, there are no established evaluation methodologies, benchmark network topologies, or application workloads to guide the performance evaluation process in next-generation networks. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the networking, computer architecture, and performance evaluation communities to describe, discuss, and advance the state of the art in performance evaluation of next-generation networks. The workshop solicits papers that cover analytic, simulation-based, and measurement-based performance evaluation topics in this area. Since this workshop focuses on next-generation networks, we envision that papers relate to either 1. performance evaluation techniques in next-generation networks or 2. specific performance evaluation studies of next-generation networks and their systems. *** Topics *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Performance evaluation techniques for next-generation networks. * Active and passive measurement in next-generation networks. * Design and prototypes of network measurement systems and tools. * Performance metrics, analysis, and optimization for next- generation networks. * Performance evaluation of network processing systems based on network processors, FPGAs, or multi-core processors. * Performance studies of high performance and programmable routers * Benchmarks of next-generation network applications * Performance techniques and studies related to network virtualization. * Performance techniques and studies related to network security. * Performance techniques and studies related to cross-layer optimization. * Performance evaluation related to GENI and other next- generation network testbeds. * Prototypes and techniques for network trace collection and analysis in next-generation networks *** Submission Instructions *** The workshop welcomes original papers from academia and industry on work related to the above topics. Position papers are welcome and should be identified as such in the title. Submissions must not exceed 6 pages in length, must follow the IEEE conference paper formatting guidelines for US letter page size (http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confer enceTemplates.html), and must be submitted as PDF file. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers can be submitted through the EDAS submission site at http:// www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7336& . *** Important Dates *** Abstract submissions due Friday, Feb 27, 2009 Paper submissions due Friday, Mar 6, 2009 Notification of acceptance Monday, Mar 30, 2009 Camera ready version due Friday, Apr 10, 2009 Workshop date Sunday, Apr 26, 2009 *** Workshop Organizers *** Yan Luo, UMass Lowell Tilman Wolf, UMass Amherst *** Program Committee *** Paul Barford, University of Wisconsin-Madison Laxmi Bhuyan, UC Riverside Mark Crovella, Boston University James Griffioen, University of Kentucky Yu Gu, NEC Laboratories America Gianluca Iannacone, Intel Research Berkeley Raj Jain, Washington University in St. Louis Srihari Makineni, Intel Corporation Ning Weng, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale Li Zhao, Intel Corporation ----------- END of CFP NETEVAL 2009 -------------------- Yan Luo, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Univ. of Massachusetts Lowell Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering Tel: (978) 934-2592 Fax: (978) 934-3027 Web: http://cans.uml.edu/~yluo/ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

**************************************************************************** ** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. **************************************************************************** ** Call For Papers Journal of Information Science and Engineering (indexed by SCIE) Special Issue on Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems Aim and Scope: -------------- With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the Vehicular Wireless Networks (V-Winet) and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems (V-ITS) have recently received much attention. V-Winets and V-ITS aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption with many potential applications. For instance, vehicular safety applications include automatic collision notification, heavy fog detection and notification, remote diagnostics, emergency management, and other assistances for safe driving. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion notification, location-based driver information services, high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile high speed Internet access, in-place traffic view, and many others. To facilitate these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications for V-Winet and V-ITS to provide timely information or Internet access to vehicles, drivers, and passengers. Consequently, V-Winet and V-ITS need to integrate existing networking technologies, such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11p, DSRC, 3G, IEEE 802.16, Bluetooth, Sensor networks, and ZigBee for easy, accurate, effective and simple communications among vehicles, users, and infrastructure networks. This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality, original, unpublished research covering all aspects of V-Winet and V-ITS communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the followings: - Network Architecture of V-Winet/V-ITS - V-Winet/V-ITS Services and Applications - Cooperative Aspects of V-Winet/V-ITS - Availability and Scalability Issues in V-Winet/V-ITS - Mobility, Traffic Models and Network Management for V-Winet/V-ITS - Cross-layer Optimization Techniques for V-Winet/V-ITS - Modulation, Coding, and Channel Modeling for V-Winet/V-ITS - Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Roadside Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication Protocols - Simulation Framework and Real-World Testbeds for V-Winet/V-ITS - Driving Safety and Related Applications and Services - Green Technologies and V-Winet/V-ITS Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, previously unpublished work.

[Tccc] CfP: Special Issue of PMC on Human Behaviour in Ubiquitous Environments - Submission Deadline Extended
by Mirco Musolesi 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue of Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on Human Behaviour in Ubiquitous Environments Ubiquitous computing advocates interaction through calm technology whereby users sense and control what directly interests them, while retaining tangential awareness of other informational opportunities that they can at any time choose to focus on. This requires seamless access to media, information sharing and communication through heterogeneous systems, which are distributed and may be deeply embedded in the physical environment. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to deepen our understanding of human behaviour in context and its impact on technological issues relevant to ubiquitous environments. Research in this area is rapidly gaining importance and has become an essential part of pervasive and mobile computing systems. This special issue solicits original papers that contribute to our understanding of human behaviour and its impact on the design, development and use of applications in mobile and ubiquitous settings. Submissions can focus on theoretical and applied research in topics including, but not limited to: * Data capture and knowledge discovery for user modelling in ubiquitous environments * Machine learning techniques applied to socially-aware ubiquitous systems * Experience design in socially-aware ubiquitous systems * Human-computer interaction issues in ubiquitous environments * Detecting and using patterns of human behaviour in ubiquitous computing * Modelling and recognition of user activity, mobility and context * Social computing applications in human-centred ubiquitous environments * Pervasive user-generated content: applications, systems and practices * Applications in mobile and ubiquitous environments for learning, business, social computing, travelling, arts, entertainment, gaming, healthcare and virtual worlds. Submissions should be of high standard for an international, archival research journal, and will be reviewed according to the strict standards of the PMC journal. Papers should not have been submitted or published elsewhere but could be extended or refined versions of conference papers with significant new, original material. Extended versions or refined versions of conference papers are expected to differ from the conference version by at least 30% across all sections - authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The manuscript preparation guidelines can be obtained from the PMC Journal's web page (<http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc>). The deadline for submitting manuscripts is March 23, 2009 and authors will be notified of the decision by June 1, 2009. The final manuscripts will be due October 1, 2009. Authors should submit their full manuscripts to the PMC Special Issues (under the "Human Behaviour" topic), using the Elsevier online Editorial System (EES) at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks ? Datum: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:55:42 +1100 Von: Jinli Cao <J.Cao(a)latrobe.edu.au> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet <https://owa.latrobe.edu.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.inderscienc…> Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks With recent technological advances in communication and computation, new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications are growing. The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN · Distributed source coding in WMSN · Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN · Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3.
