by Lars Wolf 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVE'09) Datum: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:59:38 +0800 Von: Kuan-Ta (Sheng-Wei) Chen <swc(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> Antwort an: swc(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw Organisation: Academia Sinica An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive this more than once] -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd International Workshop on Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVE 2009) at the IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality 2009 (VR09) March 15th, 2009 Lafayette, Louisiana, USA http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE09/ -------------------------------------------------------- With the increasing number of potential users of virtual and augmented reality systems, as indicated by the recent booms of massively multiuser online societies, the design of distributed, massively multiuser virtual environments (MMVEs) becomes increasingly important, posing new requirements on both distribution platforms and virtual reality systems. Facing these challenges is a community-spanning effort that requires pooling the resources and experiences of both the virtual reality and the networking/ distributed computing communities. This workshop hopes to provide a link between these communities to foster the development of highly distributed, flexible and robust virtual environments. We aim to gather both practitioners and researchers under one roof to discuss their findings, incite collaborations, and move the state of the art forward. Topics ------ The main topic of this workshop is to provide a critical analysis of existing distribution approaches for virtual environments and to identify key challenges and techniques that are required for bringing VR systems into the global Internet, interconnecting thousands of users in a single environment. More specifically, the workshop addresses the following issues: 1. Scalability, i.e. the ability to handle thousands of (possibly nearby) users at the same time, interacting via the global Internet. 2. Interoperability, i.e. the ability to integrate multiple virtual worlds and/or service providers, e.g. using common protocols or universal clients. 3. Interactivity, i.e. how to provide highly responsive environments with near real time interactions despite network delay and jitter. 4. Bandwidth restricted (mobile) end user devices, e.g. the integration of mobile devices for nomadic augmented reality applications. 5. Dynamic & flexible distribution architectures, e.g. self-adapting client/server, peer-to-peer and hybrid architectures. 6. Content streaming, e.g. sound and 3D streaming. 7. Consistency, i.e. providing consistency guarantees to users of the virtual environment, despite network delay and the high level of responsiveness required. 8. Persistency, i.e. the ability to save and access the states of the virtual environments despite disconnections and faulty components. 9. Security & privacy, e.g. distributed authentication algorithms that allow users to participate in the environment securely and without fear of being spied. 10. Implementation issues, e.g. novel approaches to effectively manage the complexity of developing applications for such environments. Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Paper submissions must cover one of the topics listed above, or a closely- related one. Submitted papers should be at most 6 pages long, use the IEEE proceedings format and *must be blinded*. Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All submissions will be peer- reviewed (double-blind) and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Submissions in PDF format must be submitted online through the workshop page at http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE09/ no later than January 30th, 2009. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. Selected papers will appear in a special issue of the International Journal of Advanced Media and Communication (IJAMC), subject to addressing all reviewer comments from MMVE and reformatting according to IJAMC formatting guidelines. If you have any questions, please email us at mmve(a)peers-at-play.org. Workshop Format -------------------------------------------- The workshop will have three parts. The first part will be an invited keynote talk. In the second part, we will have multiple sessions, each consisting of about 3 talks. The last part of the workshop will consist of a common panel discussion including all participants. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline: January 30th, 2009 Acceptance Notification: February 5th, 2009 Camera Ready Version: February 15th, 2009 Workshop Date: March 15th, 2009 Organizers ---------- * Gregor Schiele, University of Mannheim, Germany * Shun-Yun Hu, National Central University, Taiwan * Arno Wacker, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany * Wei Tsang Ooi, National University of Singapore, Singapore Program Committee ----------------- Maha Abdallah, University of Paris VI, France Christian Bouville, IRISA, France Sonja Buchegger, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Romain Cavagna, University of Paris VI, France Kuan-Ta Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Abdennour El Rhalibi, Liverpool John Moores University, UK Wu-chi Feng, Portland State University, USA Chris GauthierDickey, University of Denver, USA Aaron Harwood, University of Melbourne, Australia Jehn-Ruey Jiang, National Central University, Taiwan Stephan Krause, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Jauvane C.

2nd CFP: ICFI2009 - The 10th International Conference on Feature Interactions, Lisbon, June 11-12, 2009
by Jan Bredereke 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

** The submission deadline of ICFI2009 was extended about two weeks. ** Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results. We apologize in advance if you received multiple copies of the following CFP. //------------------------------------------------------------------// ICFI 2009 -- Second Call for Papers The 10th International Conference on Feature Interactions in Software and Communication Systems June 11-12, 2009 Lisbon, Portugal (in conjunction with IFIP's DisCoTec'09) http://www27.cs.kobe-u.ac.jp/wiki/icfi/ // OVERVIEW --------------------------------------------------------// ICFI is the primary international forum for discussing and reporting about research on the Feature Interaction problem in telecommunications and software systems since 1992. ICFI2009 will be held in conjunction with Distributed Computing Techniques 2009 (DisCoTec'09), a major cluster of conferences sponsored by IFIP. ICFI2009 aims to bring together representatives of the communications industry, the software industry, and the research community working on various aspects of feature interactions in order to discuss possible solutions and their practical applications, as well as setting directions for further research. ICFI2009 will feature presentations by invited speakers, presentations of research and industrial papers (including short presentations), a doctoral symposium as well as posters and tool demonstrations. // THE FEATURE INTERACTION PROBLEM ---------------------------------// Feature interactions refer to conflicts among different features on a system. The features may be functions, services, concerns or aspects. Even if each individual feature works as intended, using multiple features together may cause unexpected (and often undesirable) behaviors, due to the feature interactions. The feature interaction problem was first studied in the domain of telecommunications systems. However, the phenomenon can occur in any software system that is subject to evolution, because the features of the new version of the system can interact with the features of the old system in an undesired way. Emerging application domains for which the feature interaction problem becomes relevant include policy-driven systems, Web services /service-oriented architecture, home network systems, building automation systems, mobile and ubiquitous systems, Parlay, 3G, grid and active networks, product-line engineering, etc. Detecting, resolving, preventing, and managing the feature interactions at different phases of the system life-cycle are more than ever important problems that need to be addressed with cost-effective techniques and tools. // TOPICS ----------------------------------------------------------// The following topics are relevant for the conference. Yet, we welcome other contributions related to the feature interaction problem. - Feature interactions in software systems / applications - Feature interactions in emerging telecom and network architectures - Feature interactions in mobile and broadband services - Feature interactions in ubiquitous/pervasive computing - Service interactions (Web Services, SOA) - Current industrial practice and experience - Enterprise-level aspects of the feature interaction problem - Mechanisms for interaction detection and resolution - User-centric view on the interaction problem - Software-engineering view including requirements engineering and design // PAPER SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------// All submissions must be in English. Technical papers submitted may be full papers or short papers. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. * Full papers: These must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. * Short papers: In order to make the conference as complete as possible from the point of view of coverage of current research in the area, we also solicit short papers. These can be; (I) industrial reports - describe industrial case studies or research directions (E) example papers - describe examples of FIs that occurred in real-life systems (P) position papers - describe novel research directions (W) work-in-progress papers - describe slightly immature, but exciting new ideas (S) summary/survey papers - share FI research already published elsewhere with the FI community Further instructions to authors and publication details will be made available on the ICFI'09 website in due course. // IMPORTANT DATES -------------------------------------------------// - Deadline for abstract submission: January 24, 2009 (extended) - Deadline for full paper submission: January 31, 2009 (extended) - Notification of acceptance: February 27, 2009 - Camera-ready version due: March 10, 2009 - Conference dates: June 11-12, 2009 // ORGANIZATION ----------------------------------------------------// Conference Co-Chairs - Stephan Reiff-Marganiec, University of Leicester, UK - Masahide Nakamura, Kobe University, Japan Programme Committee - Daniel Amyot, University of Ottawa, Canada - Lydie du Bousquet, University Joseph Fourier, France - Jan Bredereke, University of Applied Sciences Bremen, Germany - Rui Crespo, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal - Tom Gray, PineTel, Canada - Jean-Charles Gregoire, INRS-Telecommunications, Canada - Gang Huang, Peking University, China - Hiroshi Igaki, Kobe University, Japan - Mario Kolberg, University of Stirling, UK - Francis Leung, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA - Fuchun Joseph Lin, Telcordia Technologies, USA - Luigi Logrippo, Universite du Quebec en Outaouais, Canada - Evan Magill, University of Stirling, UK - Andreas Metzger, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany - Tadashi Ohta, Soka University, Tokyo, Japan - Jean-Luc Richier, CNRS, LIG, France - Marc Ryan, University of Birmingham, UK - Pierre-Yves Schobbens, University of Namur, Belgium - Ken Turner, University of Stirling, UK - Michael Weiss, Carleton University, Canada - Pamela Zave, AT&T, USA // CONTACTS --------------------------------------------------------// Further information can be found in the web site at: http://www27.cs.kobe-u.ac.jp/wiki/icfi/ Any questions and comments can be sent by Email at: icfi09 [at] ws.cs.kobe-u.ac.jp

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: PFLDnet 2009 Datum: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:31:47 +0200 Von: Lars Eggert <lars.eggert(a)nokia.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS PFLDNet 2009 The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale and Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT) The University of Tokyo, Japan May 21-22, 2009 Web page: http://www.hpcc.jp/pfldnet2009 Scope The Internet continues to evolve along several dimensions, allowing more and more end systems to communicate in increasingly diverse ways. At one end of the performance spectrum, the Internet protocols provide communication facilities for extremely-high-speed special-use networks. At the other end of the performance spectrum, the Internet contains very low-power and low-bandwidth networks that cater to infrequent, bursty communication. Enabling efficient and high- performance end-to-end communication across such a diverse internetwork is a difficult problem, which is not solved by current transport layer protocols. The need to support an application base that grows more and more dissimilar adds additional challenges. The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale & Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT)brings together researchers and practitioners from all continents to exchange their ideas and experiences in the area of transport layer issues for modern communication networks. The workshop provides theorists, experimentalists and technologists with a focused, highly interactive opportunity to present, discuss and exchange experience on leading research, development and future directions in transport and application protocols for networks that are increasingly growing in size, heterogeneity and dynamicity of interaction. PFLDNeT 2009 solicits papers that further the research on end-to-end communication protocols for todays and tomorrows Internet in all its diversity along the continuum from specialized grid networks, optical transports, wireless connections, to lossy and low-power networks. A specific focus of the workshop lies on transport protocols for the efficient end-to-end transfer of data for a diverse set of applications and application-layer protocols. Now approaching its seventh instantiation, the PFLDneT workshop has broadened its focus over the years from protocols targeted at specific fast, long-distance networks (the original expansion of the PFLDneT acronym) into a venue where all kinds of new ideas relating to end-to-end transport protocols for diverse network scenarios are being discussed first. The previous International Workshops on Protocols for Fast, Long- Distance Networks held at CERN (2003), Argonne (2004), Lyon (2005), Nara (2006), Marina del Rey (2007) and Manchester (2008) were very successful in bringing together many researchers from all over the world including North America, Europe and Asia who are working on these problems. PFLDNeT 2009 will continue this tradition, and provide a perfect forum for researchers in this area to exchange ideas and experience. Important Dates and Relevant Event Information Position Paper submission: February 27th Notification of Acceptance: March 30th Final camera ready submission: May 1st Conference: May 21st and 22nd IRTF ICCRG meeting: May 20th Workshop web site The latest information of the workshop is updated in http://www.hpcc.jp/pfldnet2009 Topics PFLDNeT 2009 covers all aspects related to transport protocols for the current and future Internet, including, but not limited to: - Protocol development - Enhancements of TCP - Innovative congestion control mechanisms - Novel data transport protocols designed for new networks and - applications - Explicit signaling protocols: optimization criteria and deployment - strategies - Pacing and shaping of traffic - Parallel transfers and multi-streaming - Performance evaluation - Modeling and simulation-based results - Interaction of transport protocols and network equipment - Experiments on real networks and live measurements - Protocol benchmarking - Transport over optical networks - Protocol implementation and hardware issues - End system performance - Data replication and striping - Applications with demanding or unusual network performance - requirements - Bulk-data transfer applications - Transport service for Grids - Quality-of-service and scalability issues - Multicast Workshop Organizers Program Committee Chairs: Lars Eggert, Nokia Research Center, FI Kei Hiraki, The University of Tokyo, JP Steering Committee: Lachlan Andrew, Swinburne University of Technology, AU Richard Hughes-Jones, Univ. of Manchester, UK Katsushi Kobayashi, AIST, JP Doug Leith, Hamilton Institute, IE Injong Rhee, North Carolina State University, US Pascale Vicat-Blanc, INRIA, FR Michael Welzl, Univ. of Innsbruck, AT Program Committee: Dirceu Cavendish ,KIT, JP Larry Dunn, Univ. of Minnesota, US Tomohiro Kudoh , AIST, JP Venkatram Vishwanath, EVL, USA Steven Low, Caltech, US Saverio Mascolo, Politecnico di Bari, IT Hideyuki Shimonishi, NEC, JP David X.

Introduction Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) arises primarily as a result of various forms of host and router mobility, but may also come into being as a result of disconnection due to power management or interference. Examples of such networks include: * Terrestrial Mobile Networks: In many cases, these networks may become un-expectedly partitioned due to node mobility or RF interference. In other cases, the network may never have an end to end path and may be expected to be partitioned in a periodic and predictable manner. * Exotic Media Networks: Exotic communication media includes near-Earth satel-lite communications, very long-distance radio links (e.g. deep space RF communications with light propagation delays in the seconds or minutes), communication using acoustic modulation in air or water, and some free-space optical communications. These systems may be subject to high latencies with predictable interruption (e.g. due to planetary dy-namics or the passing of a scheduled ship), may suffer outage due to environmental conditions (e.g. weather), or may provide a predictably available store-and-forward network service that is only occasionally available (e.g. low-earth orbiting satellites that "pass" by one or more times each day). * Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks: These networks are frequently characterized by extremely limited end-node power, memory, and CPU capability. Recommended Topics (not limited to) * Routing, broadcast, multicast * Medium Access Control * Self-x properties, i.e. self-organization, self-management, self-healing and self-protection * Economic approaches and social model * Learning techniques * Design, analysis and simulation * Network coding * P2p * Mobility * Robustness and stability * Security, immunity and resilience * Auto-configuration, authentication and trust management * Bio-computing inspired approaches * Generic network-level service composition at run-time * Context Transparency and Awareness * Sensor networks-based DTN * Ambient, invisible, implicit, and adaptive computing * Context-aware computing and location-based services and applications * Testbed, prototype and experiment * Challenges, visions and roadmap Important Dates You are invited to submit a 1-2 pages proposal discribing the topic of your chapter. The proposal should include the chapter summary, table of content, and contact authors. Estimatedly, each chapter should has about 35 pages with 12 font size, double-space format. Proposal Deadline: 20 January 2009 Notification of proposal acceptance: 31 Jan. 2009 Full chapter submission: 30 April 2009 Note: each lead chapter author will get a free copy of the book.

[acf-members] IEEE ACNM'09 Call for Paper
by Stefan Schmid 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Network Management (ACNM 2009) June 5, 2009 - Long Island, NY, USA http://acnm09.nw.neclab.eu/ In conjunction with the IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss new theories, mechanisms and applications of Autonomic Communication - a new paradigm for forthcoming networks in the fixed as well as the mobile world. The focus of ACNM is on intelligent communication, network control and management paradigms based on smart network and service elements that are capable to automatically configure and organize themselves. Autonomic networks will be able to sense their environment to perceive these changes, to understand the meaning of these changes, and to react in an intelligent manner through adaptation. This facilitates new ways to perform network control, management, service creation, etc. Autonomic networking naturally also applies to mission critical distributed systems, since autonomic behavior allows for immediate reaction to changes in the networking environment or context, and correction of any (predicted) problems. Such behavior also facilitates fault-tolerance and resilience. ACNM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange their research ideas and findings. The workshop will be held in conjunction with IM 2009, which draws many leading researchers in the field of Network and Systems Management. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the EU IST Project ANA. *** TOPICS *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Autonomic network architectures and principles - Paradigms, tools and techniques autonomic communication systems - Control and management in dynamic/mobile network environments - Self-management of communication systems and networks (e.g., based on peer-to-peer principles) - Policy control for autonomic networks & systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for autonomic networks - Advances in and application of control theory - Self-co-operating peer-to-peer networks - Self-organizing network elements, and administrative domains - Self-* technologies - Fault-tolerance and resilience - Cognitive networking - Plug and play networking components - Knowledge based network control - Bio-inspired networks and systems - Experiences with self-* solutions - Application of autonomic management to mobile and wireless networking including 3GPP evolved UTRAN, SAE networks, etc. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** - Submission deadline: January 26th, 2009 - Notification of acceptance: March 2nd, 2009 - Camera ready version: March 16th, 2009 *** PAPER SUBMISSION *** Papers must be original material, not currently be under review, and not have been previously published by another conference or journal.
