-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special issue of JoATC on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Systems and Applications Datum: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 15:25:51 -0400 Von: Laurence T. Yang <lyang(a)stfx.ca> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org CC: Xiaolin (Andy) Li <xiaolin(a)a.cs.okstate.edu> Call for Papers Special Issue of Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Systems and Applications (URL: http://cs.okstate.edu/~xiaolin/joatc/CFP06.htm) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deadline: June 1st, 2006 As computer systems become increasingly large, complex and pervasive, their self-manageability and trustworthiness play critical roles in supporting next-generation science, engineering, and business applications. They provide computing services to large pools of users and applications, and thus are exposed to a number of dangers, such as, accidental/deliberate faults, virus infections, malicious attacks, illegal intrusions, and natural disasters. Identifying and rectifying problems in such complex systems which consist of several heterogeneous software/hardware/network components is non-trivial. As a result, too often computer systems fail, become compromised, or perform poorly. Therefore, it remains a challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the performance of trustworthy systems. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services that are predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, and privacy protect-able. The scale and complexity of information systems evolve towards overwhelming the capability of system administrators, programmers, and designers. This calls for the autonomic computing paradigm, which meets the requirement of self-management by providing self-optimization, self-healing, self-configuration, and self-protection. As a promising means to implement trusted and self-managing systems, autonomic computing technology needs to be further explored. On the other hand, any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trusted and autonomic computing and communications need synergistic research efforts covering many disciplines, ranging from computer science and engineering, the natural sciences, biological sciences, to social sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software, system architectures, and communication systems that support the effective and coherent integration of the constituent technologies. This special issue seeks original contributions of theoretical or practical emphasis in the area of autonomic and trusted computing systems and applications, including but are not limited to: * Autonomic Computing Theory and Models * Autonomic Computing Systems and Applications * Autonomic System Tools and Interfaces * Autonomic Grid Systems, Middleware, and Services * Bio-Inspired System Design * Context-aware Access Control * Economic Models for Autonomic Trusted Computing Systems and Applications * Embedded Trusted and Autonomic Architectures * Human Interaction with Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems * Reliability and Availability Issues in Embedded and Sensor Network Systems * Reliability Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation * Security Models and Quantification * Sensing, Monitoring and Measurements for Self-Managing Systems * Self-* Design for Ubiquitous Computing * Self-healing, Self-protecting and Fault-tolerant Systems * Software and Hardware Reliability, Verification and Testing * Trusted Autonomic Computing and Communications * Trust Models and Specifications * Trust-related Security and Privacy * Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Important Dates: Expression of Interest: May 1st, 2006 Submission Deadline: June 1st, 2006 Acceptance Notification: September 1st, 2006 Final Manuscript: October 1st, 2006 Publication Date: November-December, 2006 Submission Information: * Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Transaction manuscript format described in the Guide for Authors at http://www.joatc.org/ * Please limit your paper appropriately so that the final version is approximately 15 pages in length following IEEE Transaction paper styles (single-space double-column). * Your email of intent to submit a paper should include author(s) information, a title and an abstract. * Please email your submission in PDF or MS Word format to the guest editors. * If you are not sure about the suitability of a given topic or if you want to know more details about the special issue's intent, please do not hesitate to contact the guest editors. * All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed according to the rules of JoATC.

To exploit these potentialities, simulation modeling and theoretical analyses have to be complemented by real experiences (e.g., measurements on real prototypes) which provide both a direct evaluation of ad hoc networks and, at the same time, precious information to realistically model these systems. The need for more experimental activities stimulated a new community of researchers combining theoretical research on ad hoc networking with experiences/measurements obtained by implementing ad hoc network prototypes. The aim of REALMAN is to bring together this community. Following the success of the first edition, this workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing measurement studies and experiences based on real ad hoc network test-beds and prototypes. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols *development*, *measurement* and *testing*, in all areas related to ad hoc networking. We encourage authors willing to submit a regular paper to also submit a *demo* proposal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Ad Hoc Networks Applications * System Prototypes and Experiences * Mobile Ad Hoc Networks * Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks * Sensor Networks * Mesh Networks * Vehicular Networks * Protocols Implementation and Testing * Middleware Platforms for Ad Hoc Networks * Ad Hoc Networking for Pervasive Environments * Situated Autonomic Communications * Location Services * Positioning and Tracking Technologies and Services * Measurement Studies * Mobility Models based on Real Data * Enabling Technologies (802.11, 802.15, etc.) * Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks DEMO SESSION A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing real prototypes at work.

It is widely used in both academia and industry as a means of designing, testing and evaluating new and existing protocols and architectures, and it is also a very useful tool for educational purposes. The Workshop on ns-2 (WNS2) is a one-day event held in conjunction with VALUETOOLS, the First International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (http://www.valuetools.org/). The main goals of the 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 devotes special interest to the future evolution of ns-2, and its extension in novel research areas and networking technologies and scenarios. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ This workshop is mainly focused on the simulator in itself. We are especially looking for original contributions that go beyond the use of ns-2 "as is", and try to make it evolve. The following topics are of particular interest: - Development of new simulation models and features, especially in, but not restricted to, the areas of: * Mobile networks, 3G and 4G networks, WLANs, WPANs, WiMAX... * Delay-tolerant networking. * Congestion-control and transport-layer issues in long-fat networks. * Network mobility (NEMO). * Sensor networks. * Peer-to-peer systems. * Grid computing. - Large-scale network simulation and model-based simulation approaches. - Post-processing tools and GUIs for statistical analysis and visualization of simulation results. Other topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Validation of ns-2 behavior with experimentation and real data. - Comparative studies of ns-2 and other network simulation tools, both commercial and freely-available. - Parallel and distributed versions of ns-2. - Use of ns-2 in teaching networking concepts and techniques.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Sigcomm Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS) Datum: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 14:22:56 -0800 (PST) Von: Kevin C. Almeroth <almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu (See below: papers are due April 21st) ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Sigcomm 2006 - Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS-06) Pisa, Italy - September 11-15, 2006 ===================================================================== Technical Area: Challenged networks include those found in mobile and in-motion networking, dynamic wireless networks, heterogeneous and mobile sensor networks, interplanetary networking, and networks providing rural connectivity. Such networks are not well served by standard TCP/IP solutions, due to the prevalence of disconnection, disruption, intermittency, large delays, or other factors. Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. It has scaled well beyond the original plan of its designers, and the Internet Protocol has been carried on a great number of underlying protocols, including itself. However, the Internet's protocol architecture suffers some problems when implemented on classes of networks for which it was not originally designed. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common, or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop, we wish to explore physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. More specifically, we solicit papers in the following areas: - Characterization of performance-challenged networks, e.g. network measurements. - Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks. - Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks. - Robust network application design and implementation techniques. - Delay tolerant and disruption tolerant networks (DTN). - Situated and autonomic communications for challenged networks. - Handling user concerns in challenged networks such as usability, privacy, security and incentives to cooperate. Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as more general, philosophical position papers. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage in their development are favored over highly polished, journal-style results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, with impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept around 15 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on broader issues and community development. Paper Format and Submission: Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, double column, with no characters smaller than 10 point fonts. Papers will be reviewed single blind, which means be sure to include author information on the first page after the title and before the abstract. Papers that do not adhere to these requirements exactly (or attempt to cheat on spacing or fonts) will not be accepted for submission. Paper submission will be via EDAS. The exact URL will be posted by April 1, 2006. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 21 April 2006 Notification of Acceptance: 2 June 2006 Camera Ready Deadline: 16 June 2006 Workshop Date: 11-15 Sept 2006 Organizing Committee: Technical Program Co-chairs: Kevin Almeroth, UC-Santa Barbara Email: almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu James Scott, Intel Research Cambridge Email: james.w.scott(a)intel.com Program Committee Members: (Under Construction) Webmaster: Khaled Harras, UC-Santa Barbara ===================================================================== _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Preliminary CFP WMASH 2006 Datum: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 09:22:50 +0100 Von: Danilo Severina <severina(a)dit.unitn.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ============================================== Preliminary Call for Papers WMASH 2006 The Fourth ACM International Workshop on Wireless Mobile Applications and Services on WLAN Hotspots Los Angeles, California, USA September 23-29, 2006 http://wmash06.dit.unitn.it ============================================== ACM WMASH aims to address and discuss the technical and business challenges, ideas, views, and research results in providing public wireless Internet services and applications for mobile users in small, highly-populated, public spaces (wireless LANs and "hotspots"). Since the beginning of the workshop in 2003 several research and business challenges related to public WLAN were put forward. These challenges still need to be explored and market needs to converge while new developments continue. The challenges are: What is the overall network architecture and service model? How to roam through multiple wireless access providers with a unique service contract? How to decouple the wireless infrastructure providers from the Internet service (and content) providers? How to locate service facilities in the wireless access domain and how to match the available facilities with the user needs? How to exploit location and context information? How to provide differentiated service levels to different customers? How to achieve seamless interoperation between WLAN-based hotspots and cellular and other emerging wireless data networks? The last challenge, concerning seamless interoperation, is catching the most attention these days leading to activities in IEEE 802 and in 3GPP to move quickly towards finding standardized solutions. This workshop will aim at discussing these and several other challenges and issues behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access. Leaders and thinkers of the field from academia and industry will assemble to share their ideas and views. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers or position papers, describing current research, experimental work and visions of the future. We are specifically interested in work dealing with network layer and above (layers 3-7). Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but is not limited to: . Applications and services . New service and business models . Public WLAN and hotspot architectures . Community-owned WLAN infrastructures . WLAN-based ad-hoc network service creation and management . Metro-area hotspots using 802.11/802.16 mesh . Multi-radio mesh node designs . Self-configuring mesh networks for public hotspots . Mobile routers for transient, portable hotspots . Application case studies of mobile routers . Interworking with other wireless systems, e.g., 3G, 802.16 . Mobility, roaming, and handoff management . Context-aware services and technologies . Location-aware applications and services . Multimedia wireless applications, e.g., Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) . Authentication, accounting, billing and payment issues . Security and privacy in public WLANs . Middleware support . Service location and discovery . Traffic measurements and modeling .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MLMD'06; Deadline extended to Feb 28 Datum: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 00:03:15 -0500 Von: Alhussein Abouzeid <hussein(a)ecse.rpi.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: abouzeid(a)ecse.rpi.edu *** Workshop on Multi-Layer Modelling and Design of Multi-Hop Wireless Networks (MLMD’06), to be held in conjunction with the 12th IEEE International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS'2006), July 12-15, 2006, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. *** Sponsored by: * The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. * The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing.The proceedings will be published by the IEEE, and available online on IEEE Xplore. Workshop Scope: This workshop will present and discuss recent results that capture the performance and design tradeoffs when multiple layers interact, as they do, in wireless multi-hop networks. The layered architecture view of networks has allowed various experts to work independently to optimize the performance at their level of abstraction. Wireless multi-hop networks have challenged the benefits of this approach, at least from a performance perspective. The fact that in most sensor networks the performance and purpose are tightly coupled with a physical phenomenon increases the coupling between the top and bottom layers of the reference network protocols stack. Furthermore, we are witnessing an increasing interest in terms of what the design of the Internet would be if we have the chance to do it all from scratch. Examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Joint optimization of multiple layers - Joint modelling and performance evaluation of multiple layers - Communication/computation methods and abstractions - Techniques and models of medium access, aggregation, routing, and compression that explicitly account for multiple layers - Designs leveraging recent technologies (e.g. software radio) and their performance - Designs allowing co-existence in crowded shared spectrum - Network reliability issues including quality of service - Multi-layer security in a distributed environment Technical Program Committee: Eylem Ekici Ohio State University, OH, USA Hesham Elgamal Ohio State University, OH, USA Martin Haenggi University of Notre Dame, IN, USA Ekram Hossain University of Manitoba, MB, Canada Koushik Kar Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NY, USA Ulas Kozat Docomo Labs, USA Bhaskar Krishnamachari University of Southern California, CA, USA Hussein Mouftah University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Tarek Saadawi City University of New York, NY, USA Biplab Sikdar Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NY, USA Ivan Stojmenovic University Of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Rajiv Vijayakumar University of Washington, WA, USA Yanyong Zhang Rutgers University, NJ, USA Rong Zheng University of Houston, TX, USA Workshop Chair: Alhussein Abouzeid Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 110 8th St, Troy, NY 12180 http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/homepages/abouzeid abouzeid(a)ecse.rpi.edu Location and Duration: This is a one day workshop.
