-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [OC-ML] Call for papers: 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Datum: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 16:59:19 +0200 (CEST) Von: Fabian Rochner <rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de> An: rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de ##################### 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.atc-conference.org/2008/ 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.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFPs: ICDCS'08 Workshop on Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Networks]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFPs: ICDCS'08 Workshop on Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Networks Datum: Mon, 1 Oct 2007 10:04:11 -0500 (CDT) Von: Dr. Hongyi Wu <wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS The 3rd International Workshop on Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Networks (In conjunction with ICDCS 2008), Beijing, China, June 20, 2008. http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~wu/DTMN08/. Mobile communication has experienced an explosive growth since close to quarter of a century. In particular, the mobile ad hoc network technology has attracted significant attention in the last decade or so due its challenging research problems, and span off such new research areas as mesh-based mobile networks and sensor networks. What characterizes nearly all of those mobile technologies is that during the exchange of information between the source and destination terminals, there exists a set of links which constitutes an end-to-end path over which the information is communicated. In some application scenarios, however, the connectivity between the mobile stations is poor due to very sparse network conditions (low node density) or due to unstable connectivity conditions (interference, fading, etc), and thus it is difficult to form a well-connected mesh network for transmitting data through end-to-end connections. In fact, even if there temporarily exists a path in the network for some portion of the communication, it is likely that the terminals will only be intermittently connected due to mobility. As a result, data are delivered in a store-carry and forward paradigm in such networks. Examples include vehicular networks, mobile sensor networks, deep space communications, etc. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to Delay (or Disruption)-Tolerant Mobile Networks (DTMN) and bringing together state-of-the-art contributions in this emerging area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - New Network Architectures and Applications * Mobile sensor networks * Vehicular networks * Heterogeneous mobile networks * Delay-tolerant applications - Protocol Design and Optimization * Delay-tolerant transport protocols * Mobility/disruption-aware routing protocols * Reliability and fault tolerance * Energy, processing power and storage requirement * Mobility modeling and mobility management * Localization and location management * Nodal synchronization * Security, privacy and incentives for co-operation * Resource allocation and QoS support - Performance Analysis and Evaluation - Testbed Implementation and Experimental Results Important Dates: - Paper Submissions: Dec. 15, 2007 - Notification: Feb. 11, 2008 - Final Version: March 9, 2008 - Workshop date: June 20, 2008 Submission Instructions: Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages.

PAPER ONE: "Empirical Prediction of Computer-Network Evolution" Sami J. Habib, Kuwait University, Kuwait This article presents a computer-aided integration tool, iCAD, that can predict a network evolution. We have used the term a network evolution to mean predicting changes within the physical network topology as time evolves. iCAD is connected to four device libraries, each of which contains a distinct set of network-technology devices, such as Ethernet hubs, ATM switches, IP routers, and gateways. As a network technology changes, each device library is updated. Then, we have plotted the cost and performance changes between the old and recent network technologies, enabling us to predict future changes to a first order. This article presents empirical results from 1999 until 2005 recording the network evolution progress, where the lower and upper bounds of network evolution came out to be 10% to 25% and 57% to 74% respectively in terms of network-design cost reduction.

Pañeda, University of Oviedo, Spain David Melendi, University of Oviedo, Spain Roberto García, University of Oviedo, Spain Manuel Vilas, University of Oviedo, Spain Victor García, University of Oviedo, Spain This article presents a methodology for performance analysis and configuration of audio/video-on-demand services. To maintain a good quality of service and to make a profit for the content provider, services must have the optimum configuration. With this aim, the configuration process must be based on an accurate service behavioural analysis which evaluates the quality and the quantity of resources, contents and subscribers. This analysis can be performed using monitored information and predictions of a near future behaviour using laboratory experiments. To formalize both analysis and configuration, a methodology must be developed in order to help service managers attain a good performance and at the same time, make a profit for their companies. All the methodology goals are based on the principle that 'a satisfied client provides more profit'. Moreover, the methodology is prepared to be extensible, and adaptable to new configuration possibilities, data, analyses or goals.

The wireless mesh networks are multihop networks of wireless-router platforms. The wireless routers are typically stationary, but the clients can be mobile. A mesh network can provide multihop communication paths between wireless clients, serving as a community network or as a broadband access network for the Internet. Though no routing protocols exist for wireless mesh networknetworks, the author has tried using AODV, which has been proved effective for wireless mesh networknetworks. Although research is being done in revisiting the MAC and routing protocols for wireless mesh networknetworks, one of the major problems faced in 802.11b mesh networks is channel interference. Based on the above facts, an attempt has been made to study the performance of the 802.11b mesh network under channel interference. The performance differentials are analyzed in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, and MAC delay. The simulations are carried out in Opnet Version 11.5 simulator To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below. http://www.igi-global.com/articles/details.asp?id=7413 PAPER FOUR: "Peer-to-Peer IP Traffic Classification Using Decision Tree and IP Layer Attributes" Bijan Raahemi, University of Ottawa, Canada Ahmad Hayajneh, University of Ottawa, Canada Peter Rabinovitch, Alcatel-Lucent Research and Innovation, Canada The intelligent energy meter designed by us is basically a digital energy meter, which uses single-phase energy metering IC. This metered reading is brought to the database of electricity board through the" echo model", which is identified as a suitable model for the house hold power lines among the existing power line channel models. This is followed by studies on the utilization of different robust spread spectrum techniques like code division multiplexing (CDM), Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)and COFDM (Combined) for data communication over the selected channel model. The results of the study are conducted, particularly in respect of bit error rate (BER)performance and spectral efficiency.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] [Fwd: Reminder: IAMCOM 2008 - Call For Papers] Datum: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:07:59 +0200 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: Verborgene_Empfaenger: ; ******************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS =============== IAMCOM 2008 Workshop on Intelligent Networking: Adaptation, Communication, and Reconfiguration January 10, 2008. Bangalore, India http://www.iamcom.org Paper submission deadline: 10 October, 2007, Friday Midnight, CET Workshop co-Sponsored by: IEEE Communications Society (www.comsoc.org <http://www.comsoc.org>) CreateNet (www.create-net.it <http://www.create-net.it>) [held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM conference COMSWARE 2008, with a large participation from industries and government labs] ******************************************************************* SCOPE ====== The topic of assured communications between the application end-points in a distributed embedded system is quite important for the military, automotive, aerospace, and E-Commerce domains. It synergizes three sub-areas of research: adaptation of system operations to the network resources & environment conditions, reliable communications between end-points in the presence of failures, and self-reconfigurations at various system levels for increased resilience. The topic has spurred the need for Intelligent Networking at various layers of the system architecture to support these critical functionalities. IAMCOM 2008 will thus offer a unique and focused forum for researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new results in this important area.. ******************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS =============== Intelligent Networking has become popular in the context of distributed embedded systems for aerospace, automotive, military, E-commerce, and eco-surveillance applications. Unlike the telecom-centric networks of the 90's that had an inward focus on network signaling & control today's intelligent networks are designed from an application perspective. Here, networks could mean a set of collaborative data processing nodes that serve as application proxies ( e.g., airborne nodes in a police surveillance network). The goal of contemporary Intelligent Networking is to improve application-level reliability & performance, security, QoS assurance, and the like. The need for intelligent networking arises because the target application systems are too complex to be studied in isolation. A holistic approach to design that addresses both application and network, can result in performance gains. Often, mathematical models and/or closed-form representations of target application systems do not exist or are too unwieldy to allow offline analysis. For instance, network outages can have a profound impact on the application reliability in many military applications, but can be tolerated in certain commercial application domains. The mapping relationship between the network events and the application activities are deeply buried in the system operations, with no apparent mechanism for the system designers to track these cross-layer relationships. The complex nature of modern day embedded systems applications provides a new dimension to the concept of intelligent networking --- and hence opens a set of new research directions. This new dimension covers three aspects: adaptation to resources & environment, reliable communications between nodes, and reconfigurations at various system levels. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the presentation of ongoing work in embedded systems control & management pertaining to the three pillars of adaptation, communication, and reconfiguration. Papers are solicited on the following topics: 1.QoS assurance architectures 2.Network state fusion, monitoring 3.Utility-based QoS adaptation 4.Vehicular network security 5.Capacity provisioning 6.Survivable links: restoration & routing 7.Dynamic resource allocations 8.Distributed management & control 9.Self-healing networks 10.Cross-layer approaches in system design 11.'Control-Theoretic' approaches to performance management 12.Embedded systems applications --- aerospace, automotive, military & sensor networks 13.Latency-sensitive data streaming & fusion 14.Service-level specification & verification 15.Energy-aware wireless operations 16.QoS stability in wireless networks 17.MAC-layer optimizations in wireless networks 18.Incentive based QoS models for wireless networks 19.Reliable communications in vehicular networks: Emergency Response 20.GPS based location & tracking 21.Location-sensitive data fusion Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and through the IEEE Digital Library Xplore.
