-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ATC-08 Call for papers Datum: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 21:04:05 +0100 Von: ATC'08 Program Chair <atc08(a)atilf.no> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ##################### ATC-08 Call For Papers ###################### The 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing - Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality - http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/ Organized by Oslo University College and University of Stavanger, Norway Technical Sponsorship by the IEEE Task Force on Intelligent Ubiquitous Computing Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008 ################################################################### Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing dramatically in both scale and heterogeneity, becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled emergence. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-08 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-08 is a successor of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria), the 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, China), and the 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07, Hong Kong). Topics include but are not limited to the following: - AC/OC Theory and Models Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition, self-organization, emergence, etc. - AC/OC Architectures and Systems Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc. - AC/OC Components and Modules Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc. - AC/OC Communication and Services Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. - AC/OC Tools and Interfaces Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. - Trust Models and Specifications Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. - Trust-related Security and Privacy Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. - Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. - Trustworthy Services and Applications Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secured mobile services, novel applications, etc. - Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. == IMPORTANT DATES == Submission Deadline: January 05, 2008 Authors Notification: March 05, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: April 05, 2008 Workshop under "midnight sun" at Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway June 26-28, 2008 == ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION == Prepare your paper according to the LNCS style maximum 15 pages in PDF file.

During last three years, RAWNET has managed to attract many renowned researchers both as keynote speakers, TPC members and attendants, and it has become a stimulating venue for fruitful discussions and exchanges of ideas. For more details on the next and past RAWNET workshops, please see the web site http://www.rawnet.org). RAWNET takes place in conjunction with WiOpt 08, a well established wireless research conference (http://www.wiopt.org), and attracts a significant part of WiOpt crowd in the audience. Regards, RAWNET'08 Chairs David Gesbert and Bozidar Radunovic ============================================================================================ Call for papers: Welcome to RAWNET'08 Tomorrow's wireless network must be optimized to offer enhanced rate performance, at higher and often heterogenous quality-of-service levels, in user scenarios with ever increasing mobilily. To meet these challenges, system designers can resort to a number of tools and techniques at PHY, MAC or higher layers of the protocol stack. In order to increase the network efficiency (Bit/Sec/Hz per Euro/Dollar) while providing the required QoS, a more efficient utilization of the spectral resource across the network will be required. Smart resource allocation schemes should help provide the customer with a smooth user experience while efficiently tackling interference issues in agressive reuse environment, whether in cellular or adhoc scenarios. Ideally, they should be aware, i.e. jointly designed with lower layer algorithms (multiple antenna systems, spatial division multiple access, OFDMA, multi-cell cooperative coding) and potentialy upper layers as well (transport/routing/application). Specific topics of interest This workshop seeks original work within the fields described by (but not limited to) the bullets below: * User scheduling (single cell /multicell /OFDMA); * Cross-layer design (e.g. combined MIMO - Resource allocation schemes) * Power control and energy-efficient communication; * Resource allocation-based interference mitigation; * Cooperation schemes for interference control, range extension (multicell, multihop cooperation); * Performance evaluation methods for wireless networks; * Game theoretic resource allocation; * Pricing-based, auction-based schemes in ad-hoc/cellular networks; * Fairness vs. performance issues Submission guidelines *Paper submission deadline :* November 19, 2007 *Notification of acceptance :* January 21, 2008 *Camera-ready papers due :* February 21, 2008 *Early registration deadline :* March 1, 2008 Paper submissions will be handled electronically via Cocus <http://icst.org:8080/cocus/welcome.do>.

=============================================================================================== IEEE PIMRC 2008 Cannes, French Riviera, France 14-18 September 2008 =============================================================================================== Overview: The annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC) is one of the premier conferences in the wireless research arena and has a long history of bringing together academia, industry and regulatory bodies. Today, it has become one of IEEE ComSoc's flagship conferences in telecommunications. The 19th edition of PIMRC will be held from 14-18 September 2008 in glamorous Cannes, French Riviera, France, at the "Palais des Festivals de Cannes" where traditionally the Cannes Film Festival is being held. With Cannes being one of the most charming places on earth, we expect this to be a truly special conference. Focus: PIMRC 2008 will provide a global forum for presenting the most recent advances, the future technical challenges and business opportunities that comprise the contemporary landscape in wireless communications. The organizers endeavour to attract contributions covering not only conventional areas of wireless communications (e.g., physical layer), but also emerging areas with high potential for essential scientific and societal impact such as wireless sensors for biomedical applications, non-trivial pervasive computing services and ambient technologies. The latter areas are expected to facilitate the development of a broad vision of innovative future applications in wireless communications. The high quality IEEE endorsed technical programme, will also include tutorials, workshops, exhibitions, panel discussions and keynote presentations from leading experts coming from the academic community, industry, as well as regulatory and standardisation bodies. Call for Papers: Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers describing original and previously unpublished contributions in a wide range of topics in wireless communications. These topics are clustered into the following three major categories: 1) Physical Layer and MAC 2) Mobile and Wireless Networks 3) Applications, Services and Business Models Papers should be in English, strictly not exceeding 5 double-column pages. Authors should use the relevant IEEE template, ensuring an IEEE Xplore compatible PDF-format.
