CfP: IWSOS 2008 - 3rd Int. Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems
by Harald Meyer 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of the cfp. ************************ 3rd CALL FOR PAPERS ************************ IWSOS 2008 3rd International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems - Self-Organizing Networks and Networked Systems - December 10-12, 2008 Vienna, Austria http://iwsos.ani.univie.ac.at/ submission deadline (full papers): June 22, 2008 !!! NEWS: Online submission system is open !!! !!! Increased max. full paper size: 12 pages !!! ********************************************************************* Workshop Scope -------------- IWSOS 2008 is the third workshop in a series of annual workshops dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems. The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future networked systems, like the future Internet. For example, these networks will consist of interconnected infrastructure-based, mobile ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user requirements, such as resilience and real-time guarantees. Although self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited. Research into networked systems has recently started to systematically investigate self-organization, which has lead to a multitude of open research issues. The applicability of well-known self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked systems has to be investigated, as well as adaptations and novel approaches inspired by, e.g., cooperation in nature and evolutionary dynamics, sociology, and game theory. Additionally, models originating from areas like feedback control and complex system's research, are required for these networked systems in order to analyze their controllability and emergent behavior. Aspects of engineering self-organizing networked systems should be studied that discuss paradigms like programmable networks, and tools and frameworks for deploying, testing, and monitoring self-organizing networks. The role of self-organization in the future Internet and the impact on its architecture is an important topic, as well as the application of self-organization in future intelligent transportation systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks. Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization for networked systems by including the following key topics (not a restricted list): * Self-organization and self-management * Self-configuration and self-optimization * Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing * Autonomic networking principles and practice * Control theory based models and approaches of self-organization * Feedback control in networked systems * Group-forming networks and techniques * Programmable and cognitive networks for self-organization * Visualization of network system state * Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society (e.g., bio-inspired or based on game theory) * Risks in self-organization and risk management techniques * The (un-)controllability of self-organizing emergent systems * Quality of Service / service level agreements and self-organization * Resilience, robustness, and fault tolerance for networked systems * Security in self-organizing networked systems * Self-* sensor and ad-hoc networks * Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks * Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering * Self-* networks and networked systems for ubiquitous computing * Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence * Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet * Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks * Self-organizing vehicular ad-hoc networks * Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network services * Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks * Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home network * The human in the loop of self-organizing networked systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline (full papers): June 22, 2008 * Notification of acceptance (full papers): September 1, 2008 Initial Submission (full papers) -------------------------------- IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Submissions should be full-length papers up to 12 pages using the LNCS style, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 - 150 words. All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the international TPC and judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: The 3rd IEEE Workshop on Automotive Networking and Applications Datum: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:28:36 -0400 (EDT) Von: Ratul Guha <rguha(a)research.telcordia.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu APOLOGIES FOR MULTIPLE COPIES Call for Papers The 3rd IEEE Workshop on Automotive Networking and Applications (AutoNet 2008) Co-located with IEEE GLOBECOM 2008 December 4, 2008 (Thursday) New Orleans, LA, USA Coupled with advances in wireless communications and computing technologies, there have been significant recent efforts to enhance and integrate the communications and computing technologies into the vehicle and transportation systems to enhance vehicle safety, reduce traffic congestion, and protect environment. Significant industrial and governmental efforts are underway to push for vehicle-to-vehicle / vehicle-to-infrastructure networking functions in vehicles and highway infrastructure. When such communications and networking capabilities are integrated into vehicles and the infrastructure, not only safety but many other emerging applications can be supported for intelligent interactions with the transportation system, with other vehicles, and inside vehicles, to help with traffic management, vehicle diagnostics, mobile commerce, and much more. This one-day workshop intends to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to discuss and address recent developments and challenges in deploying vehicle-to-vehicle / vehicle-to-infrastructure networking technologies and their applications. Specifically, we solicit original research contributions addressing the following areas: * Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications * Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications * Vehicular ad hoc networks * Potential applications of V2V and V2I communications including ITS * Protocols for V2V and V2I communications (MAC, routing, mobility management, etc.) * Security and privacy issues in V2V and V2I networks * Physical layer and RF level technologies for V2V and V2I communications * Antenna technologies for V2V and V2I communications * Radio resource management and QoS support for V2V and V2I communications * Information networking over V2V, V2R and next-generation networks * Simulation / performance evaluation techniques for V2V and V2I communications * Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination in V2V and V2I communications * Experimental systems and testbeds for V2V and V2I communications * Standardization updates on V2V and V2I communications All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the Workshop proceedings (CD-ROM and booklet of papers) as well as on the IEEE Xplore.
