ICST - CFP for WNS2 (Deadline Extended)
by info＠icstconferences.org 31 May '08

31 May '08

The Workshop on ns-2 (WNS2) (http://www.wns2.org/) is a two-day event held in conjunction with VALUETOOLS 2008, the Third International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (http://www.valuetools.org/), during the week of 20-24 October 2008 in Athens, Greece. WNS2 2008 follows the success of the first WNS2 workshop in 2006. A tutorial day on Thursday 23 October is followed by presentation of reviewed papers on Friday 24 October 2008. The main goals of this second WNS2 workshop are to bring together networking researchers from both academia and industry, to discuss recent advances, to identify future directions in network simulation, and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. The workshop aims to emphasise the future evolution of ns-2, now that ns-3 is under active development, and its extension in novel research areas and networking technologies and scenarios. TOPICS OF INTEREST This workshop focuses on the ns simulator in itself, and in improving simulation. We seek original contributions that go beyond the use of ns-2 as is for networking scenarios, and which try to make ns do something new and different. Topics of interest for the Workshop include, but are not limited to: Structural developments/enhancements to the ns-2 simulator itself: - Presentation/evaluation of new features/architectures under development for ns-3. - Dynamic management of libraries / ns-Modules. - Large-scale network simulation and model-based simulation approaches. - Development of parallel and distributed versions of ns. Use of virtualization with ns. - Integration of simulation and emulation. - Post-processing tools, including GUIs for statistical analysis and visualization of simulation results. Simulator use and validation of simulation accuracy: - Validation of ns behaviour with experimentation and real data from implementations. - Comparative studies of ns and other network simulation tools, both commercial and freely available. - Environments and methodologies: the best practices, third-party code, helper scripts, and frameworks that serious users of ns recommend to get things done. New simulation models and features: - Wireless channel modelling. - Frameworks for cross-layer support. - Mobile and wireless networks, 3G/4G networks, WLANs, WPANs, WiMAX, Mesh networks... - Delay-tolerant networking. - Congestion-control and transport-layer issues in long-fat networks. - Mobility: network mobility (NEMO), physical node mobility (e.g., group mobility models). - Sensor and actuator networks (wireless, underwater, underground). - Peer-to-peer systems. - Network coding: data dissemination, encoding/decoding suites. - Grid computing. IMPORTANT DATES Submission of research papers due: June 9, 2008 Notification of paper acceptance: July 1, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers due: August 1, 2008 Paper presentation date: October 24, 2008 PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM CoNEXT 2008 - The 4th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking Datum: Wed, 28 May 2008 20:29:50 +0200 Von: Maria Calderon <maria(a)it.uc3m.es> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: gustavo(a)ece.utexas.edu, "'Arturo Azcorra'" <azcorra(a)it.uc3m.es> [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ========================================================================== ACM CoNEXT 2008: Call for Papers The 4th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (ACM CoNEXT 2008) Organized by IMDEA Networks and University Carlos III of Madrid, sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM 9-12 December 2008 Leganes, Madrid, SPAIN http://www.co-next.net CALL FOR PAPERS The 4th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (ACM CoNEXT), to be held in Madrid, will have the primary goal of promoting stimulating exchanges between various international research communities. The main conference will be preceded by a one-day workshop, and will be a major forum for presentations and discussions of novel networking technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The conference is single-track and will feature a high-quality technical program with significant opportunities for individual and small-group technical and social interactions. ACM CoNEXT seeks to foster open discussions on technology alternatives and to be a forum accommodating multiple viewpoints, and is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. As its name suggests, ACM CoNEXT 2008 solicits papers on emerging networking experiments, measurements, paradigms, with particular emphasis on creative, out-of-the-box thinking. Additionally, papers reporting on the deployment and performance of services or exploring network functionality aimed at better supporting new services are also welcome. We welcome submissions based on implementation and experimentation, as well as simulation and analytical approaches. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: o Internet measurement and modeling o Wireless and mobile networks o Ad hoc and sensors networks o Economic aspects of the Internet o Network security issues o Multimedia networking o Peer-to-peer and overlay networks o Routing and traffic engineering o Delay and disruption tolerant networks o New networking protocols and architectures o Autonomic and dependable communications o Networked systems applications and services SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Conformance to the 12 pages, 10pts ACM SIGCOMM format will be strictly enforced. Electronic proceedings will be published by ACM, and the best papers forwarded to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for possible fast-track publication. Travel grants will be available to support student attendance at the conference. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission deadline: 30th June 2008 Submission Deadline: 7th July 2008 Notification: 25th September 2008 Conference Chairs Arturo Azcorra, U.
