Anbei das CfP für den Workshop "Mobile Computing und Medienkommunikation im Internet 2004". Mit freundlichen Grüssen Hilko Hofmann, Admin MCMI'04 ############################################################### MCMI'04 Mobile Computing und Medienkommunikation im Internet 2004 Web: http://www.comtec.e-technik.uni-kassel.de/GI-WorkshopMCMI04 Call for Paper: http://www.comtec.e-technik.uni-kassel.de/content/conference/MCMI04/CfP_MCM… ############################################################### Motivation und allgemeine Zielsetzung des Workshops Die zunehmende Bedeutung der Echtzeitkommunikation in IP-basierten Netzen ist unbestritten. Die Wachstumszahlen bei Mobilnetzen sind beeindruckend. Die Grenzen zwischen dem Internet und den Mobilnetzen verschwimmen zusehends, denn das drahtlose Internet bekommt mehr und mehr Bedeutung im täglichen Umgang mit und im globalen Zugriff auf Daten, Informationen und Ressourcen. Sowohl bei Echtzeit als auch bei Mobilnetzen existiert indes noch erheblicher Forschungsbedarf im Zusammenhang mit IP-basierten Netzen. Der drahtlose Internetzugang erlaubt nicht nur eine höhere Mobilität der Netzbenutzer sondern darüber hinaus die Einbeziehung von ortsbezogenen und anderen Kontextinformationen in die Auswertung und Generierung von Internetanfragen. Damit sind neue Applikationen denkbar, die sowohl mehr Benutzerkomfort als auch höhere Informationsdichte bieten. Die Thematik des Workshops ist sowohl von beträchtlichem industriellem als auch von akademischem Interesse und lässt Spielraum sowohl für praxisorientierte als auch für grundlagenorientierte, stärker theoretische Beiträge. Das Spektrum der durch den Workshop abgedeckten Forschungsthemen soll von Basisdiensten für Mobil und Multimediakommunikation über dedizierte Middleware bis hin zu innovativen Anwendungen für das "Mobile Internet" reichen. Der Workshop soll im übrigen auch dazu genutzt werden, die wichtigsten Resultate von Projekten im Rahmen der BMBF-Initiative "Drahtloses Internet" zu präsentieren sowie Ideen für zukünftige Projekte bei der geplanten Anschlussförderung zu diskutieren. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Ing.

On the other hand, in the academic research community and grid computing community, many networked computing infrastructures, such as Emulab and Planetlab, have been built and shared among research scientists to run various types of research experiments. Utility Computing (UC) is a paradigm that enables distributed resources (network, systems, applications, services) being provided to users on-demand and in a uniform manner. A utility infrastructure thus has to be dynamic, virtualized, secure and automated, in nature and operate on a wide range of resources. While the UC paradigm itself will very likely enable many exciting distributed applications over the Internet in the near future, technologies related to the management of networks, computing systems, and resources under utility computing systems must be carefully studied and examined. Therefore, this year's DSOM workshop will focus on infrastructure, techniques and methods that can be used to enable the paradigm of utility computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: · Management Architectures · Automation for enabling self-management, self-configuration, and policy-based management · Management Information Models · Use of service-oriented architectures (web services, grid services) for management · Provisioning/Maintaining the Performance and QoS Management · SLA and business-objective driven management · Security, Privacy, and Isolation · Fault Management and Fault Tolerance · Monitoring, event and fault handling · Closed-loop management · Configuration, Accounting, Billing · Experience with distributed Management of Systems, Applications, Networks · Inter-domain management · Adaptive Services and Applications · Transaction Monitoring and Management · Integration with Standardized frameworks, management APIs and models (CIM/WBEM, OSI/TMN, CORBA, SNMP, JMX etc) · Implementation, Instrumentation, and Experience Important Paper Deadline: Submission May 24, 2004 Notification July 12, 2004 Camera ready Aug 5, 2004 Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley ETT special issue Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 18:10:19 +0200 (CEST) From: Christian Bettstetter <Christian.Bettstetter(a)ei.tum.de> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers European Transactions on Telecommunications (Wiley) *Special Issue on Self-Organization in Mobile Networking* http://kom.aau.dk/~ff/documents/cfp-ett-so.html http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jhome/104087069 Current systems for mobile communication, such as GSM, UMTS, and IEEE 802.11, require manual configuration and central management both for deployment and operation. Such a paradigm will not be feasible any longer in a future world of ubiquitous networking, where wireless technologies will interconnect a tremendous number of everyday items and embedded devices (e.g., electronic papers, sensors). An important design aspect for future systems is to limit the administrative requirements, thus reducing the network deployment time, cutting the operational costs, and facilitating network management. In this context, the term "self-organizing communication networks" has been in the mind of researchers for some decades. During the last few years, the term has mainly been used to describe the nature of wireless multihop networks, so-called ad hoc networks. Although ad hoc networks are expected to play an important role in future systems, self-organization is more than "just" multihop communication. We invite original technical articles on self-organization in cellular, IP, ad hoc, and sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Principles, paradigms, and building blocks for self-organization in mobile networks - Application of concepts for self-organization from natural and social sciences - Protocols and algorithms for self-organization of mobile networks, in particular for medium access control, resource management (radio, energy), clustering, routing, transport, and service discovery - Mobility and topology issues - Scalability issues - Applications, services, and middleware - Security, cooperation, and fairness Submission Instructions: Papers should have a length of no more than 15 pages (using 11 point font and about 35 lines per page). Please submit the paper electronically in PDF using the EDAS platform (http://edas.info). All submitted papers must not have been previously published and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere while they are under consideration. The following deadlines will apply: - Submission of manuscripts August 31, 2004 - Notification of acceptance October 30, 2004 - Submission of final manuscript December 15, 2004 - Publication March/April 2005 (Issue No. 2) Guest Editors - Christian Bettstetter, DoCoMo Euro-Labs, Germany - Frank Fitzek, Aalborg Univ., Denmark - Hannes Hartenstein, University of Karlsruhe, Germany - Guy Pujolle, University Paris VI, France - Paolo Santi, CNR, IIT, Pisa, Italy Note: Papers for which a major revision is recommended will not be accepted for the special issue, but will be considered for publication in revised form in one of the regular issues of ETT. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

----- Forwarded message from "Mitchell, Keith" <k.mitchell(a)lancaster.ac.uk> ----- From: "Mitchell, Keith" <k.mitchell(a)lancaster.ac.uk> To: wmcsa-announce(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2004 17:07:02 +0100 Subject: [WMCSA-Announce] CFP for 6th IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (WMCSA 2004) Call for Papers 6th IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications 2-3 December 2004, English Lake District, UK http://wmcsa2004.lancs.ac.uk/ The Sixth IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of high-quality, interactive workshops focused on mobile and ubiquitous applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. We solicit submissions that concentrate primarily on applications, systems, and environments. Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. WMCSA's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We are particularly interested in the following topic areas: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile and pervasive computing * Novel applications and environments for mobile and pervasive computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of devices and applications * Security and privacy in mobile and pervasive systems * Management, ease of use, availability and complexity in mobile and pervasive systems * Other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility and pervasive computing Papers should be 10 US letter pages or less, and should describe either completed or ongoing work (please see the web site for details on paper submission). The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE, and we hope to publish a digest of the workshop in a relevant journal. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. To encourage an interactive atmosphere, attendance will be limited to approximately 70 attendees. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first preference, with others able to register on a space-available basis. A small number of graduate students will be granted a waiver of the registration fee. Waiver proposal submission instructions will be posted when available on the web site. Demos: To further stimulate discussion, we welcome researchers who would like to demonstrate working prototypes of their systems. Instructions for submitting demo proposals will be posted when available on the web site. Important Dates: Hard Submission Deadline: 15 June 2004 (no exceptions!) Notification to Authors: 11 August 2004 Camera-ready Deadline: 10 September 2004 Organizing Committee: Adrian Friday, Lancaster University, General Chair Mary Baker, HP Labs, Program Chair Nigel Davies, Lancaster University and University of Arizona, Finance Chair Joe Finney, Lancaster University, Local Arrangements Chair Keith Mitchell, Lancaster University, Publicity Chair Christian Becker, University of Stuttgart, Demo Chair Program Committee: Elizabeth Belding-Royer - University of California at Santa Barbara Lawrence Brakmo - DoCoMo USA Labs Andrew Campbell - Columbia University Maria Ebling - IBM T.
