11 Nov '08

[We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] The 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing Barcelona, Spain, June 15-19, 2009 http://icac2009.acis.ufl.edu/ Call for papers SCOPE To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale computing systems, computers and applications must learn to manage themselves in accordance with high-level guidance from humans - a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications (ICAC-09) is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing all aspects of self-management in computing systems and applications. In doing so, we hope to further build and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. The conference builds on previous highly influential meetings in New York, Seattle, Dublin, Jacksonville and Chicago. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing, particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. * Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, fault-tolerance, machine learning, control theory, predictive methods and their use to automate manual operations and enforce behavior. * Software engineering principles and architectures for self-managing systems, based on interoperable Grid Services, agent-based systems, Web Services, model-based systems or novel paradigms such as biological, economic or social. * System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self-managing systems in standalone, distributed, cluster, and Grid computing environments (e.g., health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning). * Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. * Specific self-managing components, such as server, storage, network, data center or specific application elements. Emphasis should be placed on techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. * Management topics, such as specification and modeling of service-level agreements, negotiation/conversation support, behavior enforcement, etc., tie in with IT governance, and interaction with legacy systems. * Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. * Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. * Applications of autonomics to real and complex problems in science, engineering, business and society. PAPER/POSTER SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATION Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference themes. Submitted papers must include original work, and may not be under consideration for another conference or journal. They should also not be under review or be submitted to another forum during the ICAC-09 review process. Authors should submit full papers or posters electronically (PDF or postscript) via EDAS using the link on the ICAC-09 conference web site. Formatting instructions will also be posted at the web site. Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society (to be confirmed), which will be distributed at the conference. Authors of accepted papers/poster are expected to present their work at the conference. WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITION ICAC-09 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on specific topics of general interest to the autonomic computing community. Workshops are expected to publish proceedings, and should cover areas that may not be properly addressed in the main scientific program. ICAC-09 will also feature a demonstration and exhibition session consisting of prototypes and technology artifacts such as demonstrating autonomic software or autonomic computing principles. Entries will be judged by a separate subcommittee led by the demo/exhibit chair. INDUSTRY SESSION A singular value of ICAC is the confluence of top researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. ICAC-09 will provide a readout of various technologies currently in play from product perspectives. Among the areas to be addressed are core enablers for autonomic capabilities to be realized, such as frameworks, protocols and autonomic engines in production systems. The industry session also will address current areas of difficulty that present direct opportunities for both academic and corporate research. Topics will be relevant to entrepreneurs, product developers, architects, managers, marketers and end users. Papers and posters reflecting such industry perspectives are especially encouraged and can be submitted as described above. STUDENT AWARDS A student best paper award will be presented, consisting of a commemorative plaque, complimentary student registration to the conference and an honorarium that will partially cover travel & hotel costs. (A student paper is defined as one in which the principal (not sole) author is a student.) The student will be required to present the paper to receive the award.

CALL FOR PAPERS For the reliable performance evaluation of wireless networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages in ACM conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems, SAHNS 2009 at ICDCS 2009, Montreal Datum: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:00:20 -0500 Von: Leszek T. Lilien <llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu> Antwort an: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu Organisation: WMU An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ******************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Please disseminate it to your colleagues that could be interested. ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS SAHNS 2009 The Second International Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems Montreal, Canada, June 26, 2009 http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2009/ In conjunction with the IEEE 29th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SCOPE The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area of ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc networks. It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions for their application-oriented subclasses. One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: a) Design issues for SAHNS: o Novel network and system architectures o Economically-based models and solutions o Operating systems and middleware o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer protocols) o Resource management solutions (incl. resource discovery) o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management o Privacy, security, and trust o Reliability and dependability o Novel hardware platforms b) Development issues for SAHNS: o Development methodologies, models and tools o Analytical and validation models o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools) c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS: o Topology control and management o Energy control and management o Resource and service discovery and control o QoS provisioning and management o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and query processing o Assuring survivability and reliability o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management d) Application issues for SAHNS: o Best current and future applications for SAHNS o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications 2. PAPER SUBMISSION Papers must be submitted in the PDF format, with numbered pages. They should have no more than 6 pages following the IEEE Computer Society proceedings format (8.5 by 11 inch sheets, double-column, 10 point or larger font, single-spaced). The following information must be provided on the first page: o Paper title o Full names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors o An abstract (up to 150 words) o Five to ten keywords/phrases o A footnote with the indication of the corresponding author, plus the complete address, phone and fax numbers of the corresponding author Papers should be submitted by emailing them to: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu Each received submission will be confirmed, usually within two workdays. 3. PAPER REVIEW AND PUBLISHING Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their comments will be provided to the authors. If accepted, the paper will be published in the workshop proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press, provided that at least one of its authors registers for ICDCS (which includes SAHNS) by the early registration deadline. As all conferences published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS), ICDCS proceedings will be indexed through INSPEC, the leading English-language bibliographic information service for scientific and technical literature. ICDCS proceedings will also be submitted for indexing to EI's Engineering Information Index, Compendex, ISI Thomson's Scientific and Technical Proceedings, ISTP/ISI Proceedings, and Current Contents on Diskette (ISI Thomson). We plan a special issue of an international journal with extended versions of the selected SAHNS papers. 4.

10 Nov '08

Our Apologies in case of multiple receptions. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers S-CUBE 2009 The first international conference on Sensor Systems and Software September 7-9, 2009 - Pisa, Italy http://www.s-cubeconference.org/index.shtml -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- S-CUBE - the First Conference on wireless Sensor network (WSN) Systems and Software - provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing system development and software support for wireless sensor networks based systems that have the potential to impact society in many ways. Currently, wireless sensor networks introduce innovative and interesting application scenarios that may support a large amount of different applications including environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, building automation, object tracking, nuclear reactor control, fire detection, agriculture, healthcare, and traffic monitoring. The widespread acceptance of these new services can be improved by the definition of frameworks and architectures that have the potential to radically simplify software development for wireless sensor network based applications. The aim of these new architectures is to support flexible, scalable programming of applications based on adaptive middleware. As a consequence, WSNs require novel programming paradigms and technologies. Moreover the design of new complex systems, characterized by the interaction of different and heterogeneous resources, will allow the development of innovative applications that meet high performance goals. Hence, WSNs require contributions from many fields such as embedded systems, distributed systems, data management, system security and applications. The conference places emphasis on layers well above the traditional MAC and routing, and transport layer protocols. The aim of the conference is to create a forum in which researchers from academia and industry, practitioners, business leaders, intellectual property experts and venture capitalists may work together in order to compare and debate different innovative solutions. The conference will feature a highly selective technical program consisting of regular papers, short papers, and posters as well as specialized tracks at the intersection of business and technology. ---------- TOPICS --------- Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.
