As a result, there is need for effective methods of situation recognition, prediction, reasoning and control -- operations collectively identifiable as Situation Management. Often situations involve a large number of inter-dependent dynamic objects that change their states in time and space, and engage each other into fairly complex relations. >From a management viewpoint it is important to understand the situations in which these objects participate, to recognize emerging trends and potential threats, and to undertake required actions. Understanding of dynamic situations requires complex cognitive modeling of situations, building situation ontologies, and continuous collection, perception, and fusion of signal and human intelligence events and reports. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and decision makers from government, industry and academia to present the state of their research, development and systems needs in situation management, to discuss fundamental issues and problems, and to identify future R&D directions. Technical papers are invited in areas including but not limited to the following topics: * * *Situation Calculus * * *Situation Modeling * * *Situation Ontologies and Semantics * * *Situation Specification Languages and Tools * * *Situation Monitoring and Awareness * * *Reasoning about Situations * * *Learning and Situation Discovery * * *Predictive Situation Modeling * * *Cognitive Models of Information Fusion * * *Situation Management Architectures * * *Agents, Grids and Distributed Situation Management * * *Situation Management in Autonomic and Self-Organizing Systems * * *Net-Centric Warfare and Battlespace Situation Management * * *Disaster Response & Crisis Management * * *Infrastructure and Cyber Security Situation Management * *Please submit a title and a brief abstract of your paper at http://www.milcom.org/2006/index.htm <http://www.milcom.org/2005/>.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final call for journal paper / due May 1 Datum: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 16:43:33 -0400 Von: Bush, Stephen F (GE, Research) <bushsf(a)research.ge.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> ...sorry to contribute to CFP overflow, but here's another one... --- WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS AND MOBILE COMPUTING Special Issue Announcement Advances in Resource-Constrained Device Networking Mobile communication devices of the next generation are expected to have an increasingly diminishing form-factor but at the same time are expected to be capable of universal network access. This leads to numerous challenges due to limited resources, such as battery power and radio size and limited transmission range. To obtain universal connectivity such devices must be able to recognize and connect to networks in their vicinity by forming ad hoc networks until data reaches a backbone network. This should be accomplished instantaneously and seamlessly with or without the support of a pre- existing infrastructure. These devices should have the capability for self-organization, support for multiple levels of quality of service, and high security. This special issue seeks contributions in the area of wireless and ad hoc networking with special emphasis on resource-constrained communication devices. Papers should describe original and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Topics of interest, with special emphasis on resource-constrained devices/networks, including but not limited to are the following: ? Techniques for self-organization ? 1/f Noise and power-law indicators of organization ? Boolean Networks and Attractors ? Active network, algorithmic information theoretic, and compression-based approaches ? Swarm and emergent behavior approaches ? Energy management ? Security ? Synchronization ? Robust transport protocols ? Quality-of-service aware routing and prioritization, cross-layer optimization ? Performance evaluation ? Testbed environments ? Scalability The guest editors encourage the authors to submit their manuscripts as an email attachment to one of the guest editors, or to provide a URL with a PDF or postscript version of their manuscript. Detailed instructions to authors can be found in: www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/1530-8669/authors.html Schedule: Guest Editors Stephen F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: E-NEXT.members: CfP IWAN 2006 Datum: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 22:10:35 +0200 Von: Guy Leduc <Guy.Leduc(a)ULG.AC.BE> An: 'Members E-Next Mailing List' <members(a)ist-e-next.net> Call for Papers: IWAN 2006 Eighth Annual IFIP TC6 Working Conference on Active and Programmable Networks September 25-29, 2006 Paris, France http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/Iwan.htm Co-located with SMARTNET'06 - INTELLCOMM'06 - WAC'06 as part of Autonomic Networking 2006 IWAN06 will be part of the "Autonomic Networking" conference, which is the first international conference on all aspects of autonomic networking (architecture, services, tools, security, communications, ...). This conference groups four past events: SMARTNET on tools for autonomic networking (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/SMARTNET.htm); INTELLCOMM on autonomic management and services (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/Intellcomm.htm); WAC on autonomic communications (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/WAC.htm ) and IWAN on active networks (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/IWAN.htm) Active and programmable networking has, over the past several years, laid the foundations of providing easy, but robust, introduction of new network services to devices such as routers and switches by adding dynamic programmability to network equipment. Network programmability and service deployment architectures can bring the right services to the customer at the right time and location. The methods and technologies explored in active and programmable networking research have helped realise the trend towards ad-hoc networks, autonomic computing and communications, sensor networks and content-aware distribution. Also, active and programmable networks will continue to play an important role in future network architectures where the Quality of Service aspects of performance, security and resilience are crucial. IWAN06 brings together members of various communities using active and programmable network techniques to address the above challenges, and it provides a forum for discussion and collaboration involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover all aspects of active network based communication, including foundations of robust languages and security mechanisms, active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals, and active management. In addition, the meeting will focus on relating active techniques to customer needs and services. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results. However, we welcome high quality descriptive contributions where the ideas are particularly novel or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of others. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following active and programmable networking topics: * Architectures and new concepts for programmability and flexibility in networks * Standardization of frameworks * Secure and robust network operation * Formal descriptions, analysis, and methodologies * Self-organizing and self-managing networks * Cognitive networks * Design and development methodologies and tools * Overlay networks * Storage in networking * Active and programmable technologies for Grids * Security within programmable and active frameworks * Applications and experiments * Service creation, deployment, and management * Programmable network elements and devices * Network processor platforms * Hardware and software platforms for autonomous infrastructures * Mobile and ad-hoc networking; mobile platforms * Programmability and software radios * Content- and context-aware distribution * Autonomic programmable networking * Building complex systems Information for Authors: Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 10 single-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 150 word abstract, and list of keywords. Identify the author responsible for correspondence, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address. Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically through the EDAS web site (http://edas.info/). The post-conference proceedings are expected to be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. The best papers are expected to be published in the open access IFIP TC6 Journal on Networking available free of charge in the IFIP Digital Library. Important Dates: Submission deadline for papers: April 24, 2006 Notification of acceptance: June 9, 2006 Final Manuscript due: June 30, 2006 IWAN06 Meeting date: during the week of September 25-29, 2006 IWAN is sponsored by IFIP TC6/WG6.2 (Network and Internetwork Architectures), WG6.6 (Management of Networks and Distributed Systems) and WG6.7 (Smart Networks) General Chairs: R.
