Mai 2009 Swiss-Belhotel Golden Sand Resort, Hoi An, Viet Nam ********************************************************************************** AIMS AND TOPICS Network virtualization is the technology that allows the simultaneous operation of multiple logical networks (also known as overlays) on a single physical platform. Network virtualization permits distributed participants to create almost instantly their own network with application-specific naming, routing, and resource management mechanisms. For instance, server virtualization enables users to use parts of a computing center as their own personal computer. Recently, network virtualization received tremendous attention since it is expected to be one of the major paradigms for the future Internet as proposed by numerous international initiatives on future networks, e.g. PlanetLab (USA, International), GENI (USA), AKARI (JAPAN), OneLab2 (Europe), and G-Lab (Germany). A major objective of this ITC Specialist Seminar is to early identify future performance issues and to provide methodologies and mechanisms to address the various performance problems in network virtualization. The seminar is intended as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their latest experiences and research results. It will address techniques, architectures, performance models, and performance engineering methods leading to real world network virtualization solutions that provide users with efficient techniques for creating and operating their own high performance virtual network. Topics of interest are amongst others, but not limited to: o Performance issues of virtualization techniques on routers and end hosts o Performance issues of bandwidth and resource virtualization techniques o Performance issues of overlays for future network architectures o Performance of virtualized transport mechanisms o Performance of virtualized services and virtualized applications o Virtual test labs and network federation KEYNOTES AND INVITED TALKS The organizers of the seminar are proud to announce the following keynote and invited speakes: o Keynote: Prof. H.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) (Deadline Extended to Nov. 15)]
by Lars Wolf 09 Nov '08

09 Nov '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) (Deadline Extended to Nov. 15) Datum: Sun, 09 Nov 2008 11:10:23 +0800 Von: Ling-Jyh Chen <cclljj(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers ================================================================== Call for Papers The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (… [View More]WON-09) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 23th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-09), Bradford, UK, May 26-29, 2009 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON09/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website (http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON09/ISAS/). The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline: Nov. 15, 2008 Authors Notification: Dec. 6, 2008 Authors Registration: Dec. 15, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: Dec. 22, 2008 General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Program Committee Members Nilanjan Banerjee, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Jun-Hong Cui, University of Connecticut, USA Jyh-How Huang, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA Robert Hsieh, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Dirk Kutscher, Bremen University, Germany Lavy Libman, National ICT Australia, Australia Joerg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland Marco Roccetti, University of Bologna, Italy Pablo Vidales, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Guang Yang, Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc [View Less]

This will pave the way for the realisation of pervasive/ubiquitous computing where the user is making use of many devices and systems simultaneously, in the course of daily activities, without having to make effort or even being aware of them. These devices and systems will then collaborate and form together an ambient intelligence that offers personalised services to the user. However, in order to realise this exciting vision, it is necessary to address and find solutions to many challenges such as seamless access, device and service discovery, service continuity, middleware for pervasive computing, identity, privacy, security, trust, etc. The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop will serve as an ideal meeting place for developers, researchers, practitioners, and educators who are interested or working within the field of mobile, pervasive/ubiquitous computing. It will, hopefully, act as a catalyst for the realisation of the vision of pervasive computing. Topics of interest ================== Submissions are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics: Technologies and devices for pervasive computing Applications and services of pervasive computing technologies Seamless access and Service continuity in pervasive computing Customisation and personalisation of services Context-aware services Device and service discovery in pervasive computing Middleware for pervasive computing Interfaces and modes of interactions between people and pervasive computing devices, applications or environments Tools, infrastructures, architectures and techniques for designing, implementing & deploying pervasive computing applications Evaluations and evaluation methods, for assessing the impact of pervasive computing devices, applications or environments Privacy, security, trust & social issues and implications of pervasive computing Identity management in pervasive computing Intelligent and smart environments Opportunistic pervasive computing Autonomic management of ubiquitous systems Submission Guidelines ===================== The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop welcomes novel and unpublished papers in the field of Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing.

WEEDEV 2009 focuses on experimental and deployment experiences in vehicular networks. Nowadays, vehicular networks technology is entering a critical phase where academia, industry and governments worldwide are investing significant time and resources on the large-scale deployment of these networks so that their benefits in the road safety and improvement of traffic flow could be leveraged. Still, a number of technical challenges need to be resolved in order that these networks could be widely deployed and used in our daily life. This motivates the need for real tests, field trials, and experimental evaluations for the different technological solutions and aspects in such networks. This workshop aims to present and discuss the recent advances and experimental evaluation in the development of vehicular networks and ITS application, and to disseminate the most advanced ideas and solutions in the field. Submitted papers should have practical evaluation and/or deployment experiences as their main subject or they should use experiments to validate their modeling/analysis results. ************ Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) * Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) for ITS * Heterogeneous wireless technologies in vehicular networks * Mobility management in vehicular networks * Ad hoc and mesh routing for vehicular networks * IP Address configuration for vehicular networks * Security in vehicular communication (authentication, access control, confidentiality, services' authorization, ..) * QoS in vehicular networks * Geolocalisation * Sensor networks and technologies for vehicular networks * Smart antenna in vehicular networks * Digital maps and location technologies * Data collection and cooperation between vehicles Accepted papers will be included in the TridentCom09 conference proceedings and the IEEE Xplore digital library and will be indexed by EI. Best papers of the workshop will be considered for further publication in a forthcoming Special issue (4th quarter 2009) of the International Journal of Internet Protocol Technology. https://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalID=144 ************ Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: December 15, 2008.
