-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Elsevier Computer Networks Journal -Special Issue on Network Modeling and Simulation Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2004 11:49:22 -0500 (CDT) From: Jennifer Hou <jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: prkumar(a)control.csl.uiuc.edu, Harry Rudin <hrudin(a)smile.ch>, h.togt(a)elsevier.nl Call for Papers Special Issue on "Network Modeling and Simulation" Elsevier Computer Networks Journal Theme ===== The rapid proliferation and integration of computer and network systems have connected infrastructures to one another in a complex network of interdependence. In addition, network systems themselves are undergoing dramatic changes in the underlying technologies and services provided, in order to keep up with the growing demands from new applications and users. Scalable network modeling and simulation approaches that can analyze and predict network behavior with known accuracy, at varying time scales and for different network sizes and composition, have emerged to be important (and in some cases critical) techniques in designing, deploying, and managing such complex networks. Abnormal conditions such as congestion storms, network meltdown, and behavior of badly designed protocols and policies can be detected with analytically sound and scalable modeling and simulation tools and corrective actions can be designed and deployed accordingly. In the past few years, quite a number of new models of traffic, network, and control have been created that exploit fluid flow models, discrete event dynamical systems theory, stability theory, statistics and measurement, and approximation theory to solve the problem of capturing both wired and wireless network phenomena. These models, with varying levels of abstraction, have been incorporated to develop scalable network simulation techniques to expedite simulation of extremely large networks (of size >= 100K nodes), rendering more than an order of magnitude of performance improvement. These models have also been used to devise a wide spectrum of both passive and active measurement techniques so as to infer, with high accuracy, various network attributes and conditions. Moreover, all the models and techniques, along with an appropriate on-line network measurement methodology, have also provided a basis for on-line network control, dramatically reducing the time and cost required for functions such as parameter tuning, fielding new and situation specific protocols, and QoS provisioning. These techniques can also be harnessed to significantly improve the efficiency of network operational functions such as planning, service provisioning, and failure analysis. Topics of Interest ================== This special issue calls for articles that address the most recent technical advances in network modeling and simulation and its use in network measurement and control. Of particular interests are 1. Innovative models of traffic, network, and control. Manuscripts are sought that document innovative research on (i) the theory and the creation of models that characterize network traffic and/or network behavior over a broad range of network sizes and time scales; (ii) evaluation and validation of various models with respect to their analysis and prediction capability; and (iii) development of methods that establish conditions under which models are trustworthy. Also of interest is the development of models of control that can be deployed on top of a given network and traffic model. Control issues of interest include, but are not limited to: network and protocol parameter setting, distributed quality of service assignment based on priority, dynamic selection of protocols, and distributed implementation of control algorithms. 2. Scalable network simulation techniques. This technical area seeks for manuscripts that report fast simulation techniques that incorporate advances in various traffic/network models and scaling methods to expedite network simulation of extremely large scale. Of particular interest are all aspects concerning (i) the development and deployment of models that can be used to realize faster-than-real-time simulation, while not compromising its fidelity; and (ii) use of faster-than-real-time simulation techniques to provide feedback to network control. 3. Model-based active and passive network measurement. Challenges of network measurement research are to define and develop (i) sampling techniques to support model development as well as model validation; (ii) models that relate, with high accuracy, measurement results with network attributes; (iii) both active and/or passive measurement approaches that are non-intrusive and yet render high-fidelity results; and (iv) on-line mechanisms that leverage measurement results for network control. Publication Schedule ==================== Manuscript due: September 15, 2004 Acceptance notification: November 30, 2004 Final manuscript due: December 31, 2004 Expected publication date: Approximately April 2005 Submission Instruction ====================== Each submission should include a cover page with the title of paper, name and affiliation of all authors, name and contact address, fax, and email address of the corresponding author, a list of five key words, and a short abstract of maximum 200 words.

CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************************************** * 1st Workshop on Provisioning & Transport for Hybrid Networks (PATHNets) * * (co-located with BroadNets 2004) * * San Jose, CA, October 25 2004 * * * PATHNets 2004 * *********************************************************************************************** * http://www.pathnets.org <http://www.pathnets.org/> * * http://www.broadnets.org <http://www.broadnets.org/> * * */Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Communication Society */* *********************************************************************************************** SCOPE Whether it is image visualization, IP telephony, high-volume file transfers, or large-scale sciences like climate modeling, high-energy physics, and bioinformatics, these and other bandwidth-hungry applications are forcing us to re-think our current network theories and implementations. Today's network transport protocols are incapable of providing the network characteristics needed by large-scale applications. The highly flexible sharing relationships among geographically distributed computers are fundamentally changing the way we think about application development. Wide-area network infrastructure is evolving in such a way that our current network theories and implementations are being obsoleted. In the past and to some degree today, the wide-area infrastructure is primarily packet-switched with electronic signaling and switching. However, this infrastructure is rapidly changing, with high-speed optical routers interconnected within a circuit-switched optical core and with slower packet-switched networks in the periphery. The ubiquitous TCP protocol and its variants were originally designed and optimized for low speed transfers on shared networks where bandwidth is a critical and limited resource. To improve the transport performance on high bandwidth-delay product links, researchers have proposed many TCP variants like Scalable TCP, HighSpeed TCP, FAST TCP, etc. However, the current gigabits-per-second (peak) throughputs achie! ved using these variants are for short durations under heavily simulated conditions with manual parameter tuning. Large-scale applications require orders of magnitude more throughput to be available during the entire lifetime of the application! Recently the lambda-grid community has proposed a range of rate-based protocols like Reliable-Blast UDP (RBUDP) and SABUL which have performed better than TCP in general. However, it is not clear whether TCP-based protocols, non-TCP-based protocols, or a combination of both will be required for hybrid networks. How the protocol suite must evolve to the changing infrastructure and how network provisioning will be deployed in these hybrid networks will be the key networking issues over the next five to ten years. The PATHNets workshop invites original, unpublished, full papers that address research issues and real world case studies on the topics of interest that includes, but not limited to, the following: -Dynamic provisioning over a centrally-managed core vs. a distributed-managed core. -Real-time circuit set-up and scheduling algorithms. -Dynamic call admission and online reconfiguration techniques for hybrid networks -Transport protocols for a circuit-switched networks: TCP vs non-TCP. -Transport protocols for hybrid networks: TCP based vs non-TCP based, or a dynamic adaptation of both. -Heterogeneous routing and control algorithms that enable transport protocols to co-exist with an optical core. -Adaptation of transport protocols to operate over WANs spanning multiple medium types, e.g. optical and wireless, which can result in specific hops seeing higher error rates and subsequently, higher packet losses. -Design, architecture, and evaluation of provisioning systems. -Design, architecture, and evaluation of transport protocols. SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 20 double-spaced pages, including references, figures and tables. All submissions should be submitted electronically in Postscript or Adobe PDF format through the EDAS web site( http://edas.info ) <http://edas.info%20)/>Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.

[Ifip_nm] Deadline June 30: CfP: JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT, Special Issue on Self-Managing Systems and Networks
by Alexander Keller 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

CALL FOR PAPERS JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/jnsm/ Special Issue on Self-Managing Systems and Networks Submission Deadline: June 30, 2004 Recent activities in distributed processing and network management aim at building self-managing and self-organizing computing systems and networks. Their goal is to automate some or all of the tasks typically carried out by an administrator or management system. This concept takes the distributed management paradigm one step further by providing managed resources with a very high degree of autonomy. Self-managing systems will be able to detect failures or performance degradations, initiate diagnostic procedures, and carry out corrective actions on their own. Their ability to discover changes in the environment will enable Self-managing Systems to adapt and optimize their behavior. Self-management is particularly important for mobile systems, since mobile environments are highly dynamic and consist of a very large number of managed systems. This special issue will cover infrastructures, techniques, and methods that can be used to design, implement and deploy such self-managing systems. Topics of particular interest include: · Technologies, Frameworks, and Platforms for Self-managing Systems · Case Studies and Experiences with Self-managing Systems · Benchmarking and Evaluation of Self-managing Systems · Human interaction with Self-managing Systems · Self-healing Systems and Networks · Implementation and Integration of Self-managing Systems with standardized frameworks, management architectures and APIs (OSI/TMN, SNMP, CORBA, WBEM/CIM, JMX) · Application of Service-oriented Architectures (Web Services, Open Grid Services) to Self-managing Systems · Peer-to-peer Technologies for Self-Management Selection of contributions will be based on reviews of the papers submitted. Instructions to Contributors: We invite prospective authors to submit high quality papers in PDF or Postscript format via email to one of the guest editors, depending on their geographic location. Only electronic submissions are acceptable. Please prepare the manuscripts in single-column, double-spaced format according to the Instructions to Contributors, which can be found in any copy of the Journal, or by visiting the JNSM Web site.
