In recent years, distributed applications have indeed gained a practical and widely-known footing in everyday computing. Use of new communication technologies have brought up divergent application areas, including mobile computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, and ubiquitous services, just to name a few. New challenges include the need for service-oriented architectures, autonomous and self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, sensor networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dynamicity of distribution constellations. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS 2006 focuses on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable systems that are related to the latest trends towards service orientation and self-* properties. The papers to be presented at DAIS 2006 cover methodological aspects, tools and language of building adaptable distributed and interoperable services, fault tolerance and dependability, peer-to-peer systems, mobility issues, web services applications and performance issues and composition, semantic web and semantic integration, and context- and location-aware applications. This year, the technical program of DAIS drew from 99 submitted papers, among which 10 were explicitly submitted as work-in-progress papers. From these 21 regular and 5 work-in-progress papers were selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The DAIS 2006 conference is sponsored by IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) and it was the sixth conference in the DAIS series of events organized by IFIP Working Group 6.1. DAIS'06 will be held in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy, colocated with the 8th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS'06) and Coordination'06.

System support platforms can significantly affect the widespread and rapid adoption of novel mobile devices, because they influence both functional and non-functional characteristics of the forthcoming mobile applications. In fact, novel support for future mobile computing applications should be capable of reconciling the heterogeneity of low-level system features with application-specific requirements. In addition, it should be capable of managing the dynamic evolution of platforms and application requirements by accommodating novel system features and application requirements efficiently. This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to foster an exchange of research results and experiences in the area of mobile applications from a system support perspective. The ultimate goal is to envision new trends and ideas about theoretical and practical aspects of designing, implementing, and evaluating future system platforms for next-generation mobile computing applications. Submitted papers must be original work with no substantial overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or conference with proceedings. TOPICS OF INTEREST: Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - System support infrastructures, services, middleware, and tools; - Supporting functional and non-functional requirements (dependability, resource consumption, portability across heterogeneous devices, hw/sw personalization, QoS); - Runtime and programming language abstractions; - Support for system-, context-, and location-awareness; - Multi-platform solutions and runtime platform interworking; - OS support and integration between runtime platforms and native OS; - Usability, user acceptance and social impact of system support on nomadic end-users, 3rd party developers, and/or device designers and manufactures; - Supporting novel HCI paradigms, programming models, and design methodologies; - Supporting novel user interfaces and novel display (e.g., omni directional 3D displays, power-aware displays) and audio-rendering devices SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Each submission should include either a short or a full position paper including names and contact information of the authors. - Full papers should be at most 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style (two-column, single space, using 10-point font and 1-inch margins) including all figures and references; - Short papers should be at most 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Submissions must be made electronically in non-editable PDF or Postscript format by sending an email to fumca2006(a)nokia.com by June 16, 2006. Submission implies the acceptance that at least one author will register to the main conference and present the paper if accepted. The selection process will involve peer reviews and reviews by program committee members. The papers will be selected for the workshop based upon their originality, technical soundness, and relevance to the field of system support for future mobile computing applications. Notification of acceptance will be sent to contact authors by July 24, 2006. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to provide the camera-ready version of the paper by August 8, 2006. All Accepted papers (both full and short papers) will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Best papers will be selected for post-workshop publication into a special issue of a highly respected scientific journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: WiNTECH Workshop with ACM MobiCom 2006 Datum: Sun, 7 May 2006 22:33:25 -0700 Von: Mahesh Marina <mahesh(a)cs.ucla.edu> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- The First International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation and CHaracterization (WiNTECH 2006) in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2006 September 29, 2006 Los Angeles, CA, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://chenyen.cs.ucla.edu/events/wintech06/ *** Submission Deadline: June 15, 2006 *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW AND SCOPE ----------------------------- In recent years, some wireless technologies (e.g., WiFi, sensor networks) have matured to the point of finding wide acceptance in the real-world and leading to many new and interesting applications. At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g., dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such diverse set of technologies and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying the key performance bottlenecks, thus shape future advances in wireless technology. With this in mind, this workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers addressing experimental wireless networking issues.
