-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ICNSC Special Session CFP: Energy-Efficient Wireless Communication Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2005 15:25:25 -0400 (EDT) From: Chi Zhang <czhang(a)cs.fiu.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers 2006 IEEE International Conference On Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC 06) Special Session: Energy-Efficient Wireless Communication Energy consumption in wireless networks is an important design consideration due to the limited battery capacity of mobile devices. Advances in hardware and software technologies have not been matched by corresponding improvements in battery technologies. Since wireless communication is a major contributor to the total energy consumption on many battery-powered mobile devices, the success of new wireless technologies is contingent on their power-conservation techniques. It is important to understand and characterize the energy-consumption behaviors of the communication components in mobile devices. Furthermore, considerable research has been devoted to low-power design of the entire network protocol stack of wireless networks, in an effort to enhance energy efficiency. The goal of this special session is to bring together researchers in the field of energy-efficient wireless communications and networks, and provide a forum for the state-of-the-art research and development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, power-conservation techniques on the following aspects of wireless computing: -Power-aware network architectures -Power management and control -Energy consumption modeling -Antennas and RF subsystems -Coding and modulation -Media access control -Routing and Mobile IP -Transport protocols -Middleware and applications -Wireless sensor networks -Heterogeneous (wired/wireless) networks Important Dates Paper submission deadline: September 15, 2005 Notification of acceptance: November 15, 2005 Camera-ready copy due: December 15, 2005 Web Site and Further Information 2006 IEEE International Conference On Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC 06) http://web.umr.edu/~icnsc06/ Special Session on Energy-Efficient Wireless Communication http://bluehawk.monmouth.edu/~jwang/Wireless.html For additional information, please contact Prof. Chi Zhang (czhang AT cs dot fiu dot edu). _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

Lamersdorf <lamersd(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-HAMBURG.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE [We apologise if you receive multiple copies of this message] -------------------------------------------------------------------- E X T E N D E D C A L L F O R P A P E R S 1ST INT. WORKSHOP ON ENGINEERING SERVICE COMPOSITIONS (WESC'05) In conjunction with the 3rd Int. Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2005) http://www.icsoc.org/ <http://www.icsoc.org/> December 12, 2005 Amsterdam, The Netherlands WESC Workshop Website http://fresco-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wesc05/ <http://fresco-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wesc05/> Paper Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2005 SYNOPSIS ======== The emerging paradigm of service-oriented computing (SOC) introduces ground-breaking concepts for distributed- and e-business processing that are radically changing the way software applications are designed, architected, delivered and consumed. Services, which constitute the heart of SOC, are autonomous platform-independent computational elements that can be described, published, discovered and accessed over the Web using standard protocols. Service-oriented architectures (SOA) leverage the foundational capabilities of computational service models to provide technological as well as conceptual frameworks for a new class of cooperative business applications: agile networks of collaborating business applications distributed within and across organisational boundaries. Consequently, SOA not only includes software technologies to aggregate atomic services into composite services (a.k.a. service composition) but also the software engineering methodology to turn composite services into cooperative business applications (a.k.a. service engineering). In fact, service composition and software engineering are highly interrelated. Service composition not only developed towards the major software technology approach for composing multiple coarse-grained applications over the Web but also originated pioneering concepts such as orchestration and choreography. Such concepts introduce significantly different ways of managing business connectivity, thus making a strong impact on application semantics and vice versa. In order to guarantee a certain quality level of SOA-based cooperative business applications with respect to functional and non-functional requirements, software engineers have to take into account the impacts of service composition models. In the emerging discipline of service engineering, that generally benefits from former research on component- and aspect-oriented software engineering methodologies, there are already promising results on novel conceptual and technological tools to support the development processes of cooperative business applications. However, such tools need to be increasingly aligned with service composition technology. Still, joint approaches on engineering service compositions face several open problems and challenges. Concerning the technology side there is still neither an agreement on service composition models and languages nor on their scope of application; let alone experiences on mission critical operation. As regards methodology , reference architectures of service-oriented cooperative information systems taking into account particularities of the service composition lifecycles are just at the beginning. This is just to name a few of the challenges. GOAL ==== Accordingly, the workshop is intended to bring together experts from service composition technology and service engineering methodology; researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. It is meant to foster discussions about problems and challenges that particularly arise during the practical combination of both fields of expertise for the realisation of service-based, cooperative business information systems. TOPICS ====== WESC'05 welcomes research submissions on all topics related to engineering service compositions, including but not limited to those listed below: Models for composing software applications from services - Models and languages for composition, coordination and aggregation of application software services - Programming abstractions for service composition - High-level abstractions for service composition (workflows, rules, policies...) - Scope and applicability of service composition standards (e.g. BPEL, WSCI) w.r.t. software composition - ... Themes/paradigms for conceptualising service compositions - Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) as composition framework - Service composition as a form of programming in the large - Software services as building blocks for componentware and component-oriented software engineering - Service composition for product line software e.g. in an application service provision (ASP) context - Service composition as a link between software engineering and enterprise application integration (EAI) - Service composition in agent-based software engineering - ... Methodology for engineering service compositions - Reference architectures for composite service-based applications - Lifecycle models for service composition - Impacts of service composition on requirement engineering - Methods for design and analysis of service compositions - Dependability of service compositions - Quality models and measures for service compositions - Methods for validation and verification of service compositions - Refactorisation of service compositions - ... Technology for developing/implementing service compositions - Pattern techniques and service composition patterns - Framework architectures for service composition - Aspect-oriented composition of software services - Applying/adopting UML and MDA for service composition - Testing of service compositions - CASE-tools for service composition - Industrial case studies - ...

From the mobile device, airlinks, and internet access network to the applications and services that next generation mobile service providers are to support, only one point seems to enjoy global consensus: we have barely begun to scratch the surface in creating the networks to serve the communication needs of a future media-hungry world equipped with an ever-increasing number of wireless devices. At the core of all this anticipated growth lies the following question: what technology enablers or application drivers will provide the incentive to fuel all these innovations? This panel will elicit thought-provoking discussions on the evolution and/or revolution of wireless and mobile networking technology. Technology experts from government, industry and academia will share their perspectives on which are the key drivers that are likely to support the introduction of innovations. They will also propose technology roadmaps highlighting research, industrial, and political challenges to be addressed. Those who can predict where the next big bang is likely to occur will have a running start in the race to untether the communication services of future generations. -------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL PROGRAM: There are 26 technical sessions!

Please note that the submission deadline for Third International Conference on Wireless On demand Network Systems and Services (WONS 2006) has been extended to Monday, September 19th, 2005. For more information, please visit the conference website: http://ares.insa-lyon.fr/wons2006 For the organization committee, Claude Chaudet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2006 The Third International Conference on Wireless On demand Network Systems and Services Les Ménuires, FRANCE, January 18-20, 2006 http://ares.insa-lyon.fr/wons2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ SCOPE ----- Wireless networks, be it Wi-Fi access, mobile ad hoc as well as sensor networks, aim at providing ubiquitous connectivity and network centric services to the masses and to massively networked systems. An important attribute of such networks is that they can be deployed "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. Concepts like ambient intelligence and disappearing computers that are part of a global and fully self-organized Internet hint at the scope of this vision, but also at the formidable challenges that come with it. For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and Design * Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation * Modeling * Internet integration * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive / ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Applications and Service Support * Data dissemination and peer2peer systems PAPER INSTRUCTIONS ------------------ Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit full/short papers. Short papers should present future research directions, on going work, visionary, innovative ideas. Further submission instructions will be published on the conference web site. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Full Paper Submission: Monday, September 12th, 2005 Acceptance notification: Monday, October 17th, 2005 Camera-ready due: Monday, November 7th, 2005 TECHNICAL COMMITTEES -------------------- General Chair Mario Gerla, UCLA, USA Isabelle Guérin Lassous, INRIA, France Program Committee Chairs Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Edward Knightly, Rice University, USA Organization Commitee Claude Chaudet, ENST, France Daniele Herzog, INRIA, France Program Committee Arup Acharya IBM Research Eitan Altman INRIA Victor Bahl Microsoft Research Chadi Barakat INRIA Michel Barbeau Carleton University Dominique Barthel France Telecom R&D Roberto Battiti University of Trento Christian Bettstetter DoCoMo Euro-Labs Giuseppe Bianchi University of Roma Tor Vergata Torsten Braun University of Berne Levente Buttyan Budapest University of Technology and Economics Antonio Capone Politecnico di Milano Sunghyun Choi Seoul National University Marco Conti CNR-IIT Jon Crowcroft University of Cambridge Francesca Cuomo University of Roma "La Sapienza" Christophe Diot Intel Research Andrzej Duda LSR-IMAG Laboratory Laura Feeney Swedish Institute of Computer Science Luca Gambardella IDSIA Silvia Giordano SUPSI of Lugano Enrico Gregori CNR-IIT Paul Havinga University of Twente Thomas Hou Virginia Tech Holger Karl University of Paderborn Xiang-Yang Li Illinois Institute of Technology Renato Lo Cigno Universita` di Trento Martin Mauve Heinrich-Heine University Michela Meo Politecnico di Torino Jelena Misic University of Manitoba Giacomo Morabito University of Catania Amiya Nayak SITE, University of Ottawa Gian Paolo Rossi Università di Milano Bahareh Sadeghi Intel Corp.

[Fwd: CFP: ACM TOIT Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: ACM TOIT Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 10:52:24 -0400 From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: "OptimaNumerics" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Papers ACM Transactions on Internet Technology http://www.acm.org/toit Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing http://snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca/~qmahmoud/soa-middleware-cfp.pdf Middleware is a distributed software layer that sits above the network operating system and below the application layer and abstracts the heterogeneity of the underlying environment. It provides an integrated distributed environment whose objective is to simplify the task of programming and managing distributed applications, and to provide value-added services such as naming and transactions to enable easier development and integration of applications and services. Middleware is about integration and interoperability of applications and services running on heterogeneous computing and communications devices. The role of middleware will continue to become increasingly important especially in emerging technologies such as mobile- and service-oriented computing and web services, where the integration of different applications and services from different wired and wireless businesses and service providers become increasingly important. Service-oriented computing is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which is an architectural style for building software applications that use services available in a network such as the web. It promotes loose coupling between software components so that they can be reused. Applications in SOA are built based on services, which is an implementation of a well-define business functionality, and such services can be consumed by clients in different applications or business processes. SOA provides a level of flexibility that was not possible before in the sense that services are software components with well-defined interfaces that are implementation independent, that services can be dynamically discovered, and composite services can be built from aggregates of other services. Especially applications running on mobile devices can benefit from the flexibility which is provided by SOA. All those benefits, however, raise challenges that need to be addressed by middleware. Middleware will play an essential role in managing and provisioning service-oriented applications. As a result, middleware will be everywhere! The aim of this special issue is be to present most recent research findings on “middleware for service-oriented computing”. We are seeking papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: Middleware for selection and interaction among services Middleware for dynamic selection and composition of services/applications Middleware for dynamic coordination of services/applications Middleware for context-aware services/applications Middleware for managing services/applications Middleware for provisioning QoS-enabled services/applications Middleware for interoperable services Performance evaluation of middleware for service-oriented computing Submission Guidelines --------------------- All papers must be submitted by the midnight (EST) of December 1, 2005. The page limit is 50 double-spaced pages, with a 12pt font size. Please email your paper in PDF format to papers AT cis.uoguelph.ca. Important Dates --------------- Papers are due: December 1, 2005 Notifications: March 1, 2006 Revised papers: May 1, 2006 Notifications of final acceptance based on Editor-in-Chief’ comments: July 1, 2006 Final papers: September 1, 2006 Publication: First available issue (possibly third or fourth quarter of 2007) Guest Editors ------------- Qusay H.
