------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper Registration Date: May 20, 2008 (150 word abstract) Submission Date: May 25, 2008 (6 pages) Author notification: July 18, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- QoISN: First IEEE Workshop on Quality of Information (QoI) for Sensor Networks ------------------------------------------- September 29 - October 2, 2008 Atlanta, Georgia [in conjunction with the: Fifth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2008)] Workshop co-chairs: Chatschik Bisdikian IBM T.J. Watson Research Center bisdik(a)us.ibm.com James P. Richardson and Vicraj Thomas Honeywell Labs {james.p.richardson, vic.thomas}(a)honeywell.com http://www.cse.psu.edu/IEEEMASS08/qoisn.htm ------------------------------------------- In the dynamic, ad-hoc world envisaged for wireless sensor networks, the notion of the quality of information (QoI) produced by the network will be key to bringing together data capturing and information processing systems to support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring. QoI, broadly speaking, represents a level of confidence that may be placed on information. It touches every part of the end-to-end flow of sensor-derived information, from the sensors themselves and the observation data they produce to the various fusion layers that process these data and eventually to the applications (and their users) that use them. The objective of the QoISN Workshop is to foster constructive discussions among researchers from academic, industrial and governmental institutions for formalizing the science of QoI for sensor networks. We seek novel contributions covering all aspects of QoI for sensor network, including: - Formal QoI characterization and representation; - QoI performance metrics and estimation techniques; - Sensor fault analysis and sensor data cleansing and their impact on QoI; - QoI-aware networking; - Security, privacy, and data provenance and their impact on QoI; - QoI driven data fusion; - QoI calculus, brokering, and trade-off analysis; - QoI-driven system design; - QoI impact at the application level (e.g., detection-based decision making - and surveillance analysis) Paper preparation/submission details: Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-space, two-column format using at least 10 point size type. The maximum page limit is 6 pages. Papers deemed outside the scope of the Workshop or longer than 6 pages will be administratively disqualified. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE. The paper must be correctly formatted to fit on U.S. "letter" size page (8.5" by 11") with at least 1" margins on all 4 sides. Please use only standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE Computer Society website. Paper submission is managed through EDAS ( http://www.edas.info/showConferenceDetails.php?c=6460&). All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Please submit your paper to EDAS. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work. Following the convention of past MASS conferences, there will be NO workshop-only or workshop-specific registration. A full conference registration is needed and will include the ability to attend any workshop and regular conference session. ------------------------------------------- Important dates Paper registration (250 word abstract): May 20, 2008 (*** NEW ITEM***) Paper submission (6 pages): May 25, 2008 (*** NEW DATE***) Author notification: July 2, 2008 Camera ready: July 18, 2008 ------------------------------------------- The QoISN'08 Workshop Program Co-Chairs _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: Special Session on Wireless AdHoc Networks at the 5th IEEE Symposium on Swarm Intelligence
by Di Caro Gianni 08 May '08

08 May '08

**************************************************************** C A L L F O R P A P E R S **************************************************************** Special Session at the 5th IEEE Swarm Intelligence Symposium: SWARM INTELLIGENCE FOR WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS St. Louis, Missouri, USA, September 21-23, 2008 http://www.computelligence.org/sis/2008/?q=node/5 IMPORTANT DATES ***************** Paper submission: May 15, 2008 Notification: June 15, 2008 Camera-Ready: July 15, 2008 Conference: Sept 22-23, 2008 SCOPE ******* Wireless ad hoc networks are communication networks that consist entirely of wireless nodes, placed together in an ad hoc manner, i.e. with minimal planning. Nodes can enter or leave the network at any time, and may be mobile, so that the network topology continuously experiences alterations during deployment. Examples include: Wireless ad hoc networks pose substantially different challenges compared to more traditional communication networks: they are highly dynamic, have limited resources (in terms of bandwidth, computation power, battery, etc.), have a highly decentralized organization, rely on often unreliable wireless communication channels, etc. As a consequence, new algorithms and protocols are needed for all aspects of the organization of these networks. Swarm Intelligence methods seem particularly interesting in this context. This is because their ability to solve difficult tasks in a distributed and robust way using locally interacting simple agents fits closely to the typical environment created by an ad hoc network. In this special session, we solicit novel and interesting contributions in this area, with special reference to applications of Swarm Intelligence in the domain of: - Mobile ad hoc networks - Sensor networks - Networks of mobile robots Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Distributed medium access control using Swarm Intelligence - Swarm Intelligence routing protocols in ad hoc networks - Swarm Intelligence transport layer protocols in ad hoc networks - Swarm Intelligence for QoS provisioning - Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-adaptation through swarm intelligence - Off-line optimization for ad hoc networks through swarm intelligence - Comparisons between Swarm Intelligence and other algorithms for ad hoc networks - Implementation of Swarm Intelligence approaches in testbeds - Evaluation of Swarm Intelligence approaches in real-world settings SUBMISSION ************ Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of no more than eight (8) pages including results, figures and references. Authors should submit their papers as PDF through the online submission system, which is available at: http://www.computelligence.org/SIS/2008/Sub/ The paper format is the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings and can be found at: http://www.computelligence.org/sis/2008/paperform.html A Microsoft Word version of the paper format can be found at: http://www.computelligence.org/sis/2008/paperform.doc ORGANIZERS ************ Anna Forster (University of Lugano, Switzerland), anna.egorova.foerster(a)lu.unisi.ch Frederick Ducatelle (IDSIA-SUPSI, Switzerland), frederick(a)idsia.ch Gianni Di Caro (IDSIA-SUPSI, Switzerland), gianni(a)idsia.ch Ganesh Venayagamoorthy, (Missouri U. of Science and Technology, USA), ganeshv(a)mst.edu ************************************************************************************ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] ACM Workshop on Network Data Anonimization: submission deadline approaching
by Elisa Boschi 08 May '08

08 May '08

[apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------- Network Data Anonymization (NDA) Workshop An ACM CCS workshop October 31, 2008 Alexandria, VA, USA http://www.ics.forth.gr/~antonat/nda08.html -------------------------------------------- Over the last decade, the network security community (and the Internet measurement community in general) has suffered from two fundamental and related problems: (1) a lack of "real" network data for research studies and prototype testing, and (2) a lack of network data sharing among organizations, which impedes cooperation in network defense; as attacks typically cross organizational boundaries, effective prevention requires defenders to look beyond their own perimeter in cooperation with other organizations. Anonymization techniques are crucial for the safe sharing of network data. They are necessary to obscure certain identifying information (e.g., IP addresses) in order to protect the privacy of end users and the security of internal networks. While current network data anonymization techniques are generally acknowledged to be useful, it is difficult to ensure they are free from information leakage. Also, anonymization involves fundamental tradeoffs between the protection of user privacy and the utility of the resulting data, and these tradeoffs need to be better understood. This workshop seeks to focus on new and innovative solutions for anonymizing network data that will ensure appropriate protection of host identities, network configurations, and network security practices within enterprise networks. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: - data sharing via anonymization - privacy-preserving data mining - data anonymization tools - data anonymization policy creation/implementation - data anonymization case studies/best practices - streaming data anonymization - anonymization issues specific to network data - business services enabled by anonymization - data protection laws relevant to data anonymization Papers submitted documenting attacks on anonymized systems are strongly encouraged to propose a corresponding protection solution. While the focus of this workshop is on network data anonymization, applications of anonymization to other data domains ( e.g., medical data, homeland security, reputation systems, government records, transportation etc.) are welcome if the authors include a statement of relevance. ---------------- Important Dates: ---------------- Paper submissions due: Sunday, May 25, 2008 Author notification: Monday, July 7, 2008 Camera ready papers due: Sunday, August 10, 2008 Workshop at CCS '08: Friday, October 31, 2008 --------------------- Organizing Committee: --------------------- Bill Yurcik, University of Texas at Dallas (USA) [Program Chair] Spiros Antonatos, ICS-FORTH (Greece) Michele Bezzi, SAP Research (France) Elisa Boschi, Hitachi Europe (Switzerland) Brian Trammell, CERT/NetSA (USA) ---------------------------- Technical Program Committee: ---------------------------- Nikita Borisov, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA) Matthias Bossardt, KPMG (Switzerland) Nevil Brownlee, CAIDA/University of Auckland (New Zealand) KC Claffy, CAIDA/University of California San Diego (USA) Michael Collins, CERT/NetSA (USA) Marco Cremonini, University of Milan (Italy) Michalis Foukarakis, ICS-FORTH (Greece) Carrie Gates, CA Labs (USA) David Maltz, Microsoft (USA) John McHugh, Dalhousie University (Canada) Ruoming Pang, Google (USA) Stefano Paraboschi, University of Bergamo (Italy) Dave Plonka, University of Wisconsin at Madison (USA) Carsten Schmoll, Fraunhofer FOKUS (Germany) Tim Shimeall, CERT/NetSA (USA) Panos Trimintzios, European Network and Information Security Agency (Greece) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: Journal of High Speed Networks, Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
by Kemal Akkaya 07 May '08

07 May '08

Apologies if you receive multiple copies. -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------- Journal of High Speed Networks Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks -------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is a promising technology that offers solutions for low-cost broadband Internet access by extending the local area networks to wide area. Unlike mobile ad hoc and sensor networks, the mesh nodes in a WMN are stationary and have access to unlimited power. Typically, mobile clients connect to the mesh nodes and use the backbone to communicate with one another over large distances and with nodes on the Internet through a gateway. One of the distinct characteristics of WMNs is that the mesh nodes can employ multiple radios and utilize multiple channels which thereby bring a potential to improve the throughput and bandwidth of the network. In addition, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas can be employed. Such technologies can be exploited for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning that can be used to offer some level of service differentiation to facilitate multimedia/real-time data communication, Video on Demand, VoIP, etc. over WMNs. Prior research on QoS provisioning in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks has mostly addressed the challenges under the single channel paradigm. While the research community has recently started to study the QoS challenges in WMNs, the current focus has largely been on bandwidth guarantees for traffic going out of the WMN to the Internet via the gateway(s). Therefore, further research is needed to provide QoS guarantees for intra-WMN traffic not only on bandwidth but also on delay, delay jitter and reliability so that WMNs can be realized as a technology in the near future. The goal of this special issue is to collect papers in the area of QoS provisioning in multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-hop WMNs. We solicit papers which will address QoS challenges under multiple radios and channels, provide the foundation for applications such as Video on Demand, teleconferencing and VoIP, and deal with channel assignment and routing problems simultaneously. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - QoS routing with multiple radios/channels - Providing delay and delay jitter guarantees - Cross-layer design and optimization - Dynamic channel assignment with QoS routing - MIMO techniques for QoS provisioning - Handling mobility of mesh clients during QoS support - Performance analysis - Wireless mesh network testbed design and measurements - Fault-tolerance and QoS provisioning - Security and QoS provisioning - Utilization of cognitive radio for QoS provisioning - Centralized vs. distributed QoS algorithms Important Dates: - Manuscript Due: November 14, 2008 - Acceptance Notification: January 14, 2009 - Final Manuscript Due: February 4, 2009 Submission Guidelines: All submissions to the Journal must be in English and based on original research of some fundamental significance. The paper must not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere, although part of the paper may have been published in conference proceedings. A manuscript largely based on a conference paper must be so identified. It is expected that the author(s) have obtained necessary approval or clearance prior to submitting the paper. All submissions to the Journal will be reviewed by competent referees and are considered on the basis of their technical correctness, contribution, novelty, readability and usefulness to the Journal's readership. The font size should be at least 10 and the number of pages should not exceed 15. IEEE transaction style is preferable.

Everyday life has been affected and transformed not only by the use of web technology, but also by collaborative multimedia applications, networked computer games, cooperative scientific visualisations, networked virtual environments and real-time graphical displays. Users dislocated all over the globe are enabled to work with a variety of tools and graphical user interfaces to communicate and jointly solve problems using sophisticated graphical interfaces. Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is a hot topic which will most likely increase the impact on ROIAs. The grid and its technologies is known to provide a sophisticated basis for ROIAs and collaborative work. This event encourages paper submissions concerning the application and usage of real-time online Gird applications, as well as the technologies supporting them in scientific and industrial context. Authors are expected to emphasize the benefits of their real-time online applications for human users with focus on up-to-date characteristics of hard-, soft and middleware aspects. This workshop offers the possibility to discuss the different approaches Real-Time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA) on the GRID and supportive technologies, to show the latest results, products, or research prototypes to potential users, and to establish connections between developers and users of associated technologies. The following areas and related topics are of interest: * Interactive grid tools and environments * Development of associated parallel and distributed computing solutions * Integration of networking and grid computing technology * Gaming approaches on the Grid * Approaches using novel interaction techniques * E-learning applications using Grid technology * Requirement studies for future Grid tools * Evaluation of existing ROIAs and practical experiences Paper Submission: -------------------- We invite you to submit an extended abstract of 1 page (A4), describing new and original results, for oral presentation.
