-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers - PERVASIVE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT - EDBT-Workshop 2004 Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 10:51:44 +0100 From: Can Türker <tuerker(a)INF.ETHZ.CH> 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------ PERVASIVE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT International Workshop held in conjunction with EDBT 2004 March 18, 2004, Heraklion - Crete, Greece http://www.dbs.ethz.ch/~tuerker/edbtpim/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Wireless connectivity along with increasingly small and powerful mobile devices and sensors enables a wide range of new applications that will radically change the way information is managed and processed today. Information becomes ubiquitous, highly distributed and at the same time accessible from everywhere at any time. Information access takes place in highly dynamic and instable networks. Nevertheless, users and application developers will expect information processing to continue under similar guarantees as those offered by today's stationary and more or less centralized systems, even if some nodes of the pervasive information network are (temporarily) disconnected and/or are in motion. Examples for these guarantees are the ones given by database management systems, e.g., consistency and durability of data. Additional challenges stem from the fact that mobile devices, in particular embedded devices and sensors, are less powerful than their stationary counterparts; they are smaller (resulting, e.g., in smaller in- and output devices and less available storage), have restricted energy supplies and communicate via expensive and unreliable wireless communication media. This workshop aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing ideas, challenges, and opportunities for data management and data access technology in pervasive information systems. New and existing concepts and techniques shall be considered in the light of the rapidly increasing mobility of users and the great advances in system infrastructures, mobile devices, and sensor technologies. Research papers presenting theoretical results, perspective solutions, and practical developments are welcome. Position papers are also welcome and encouraged. TOPICS - Modelling location and mobility semantics - Infrastructure support for mobility - Mobility awareness and adaptability - Location-dependent, context-based querying - Designing location-aware, context-aware services - Discovery and composition of ubiquitous services - Tracking moving objects and mobile users - Mobile sensor and stream data management - Continuous querying and data stream processing - Mobile data dissemination and delivery - Mobile data replication and synchronization - Self-organizing, self-tuning components - Information usage in ad-hoc networks - Pervasive transactional / workflow processing - Quality of service for pervasive computing systems - Mobile access and advanced user interfaces - Security and privacy in ubiquitous systems PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted papers must be unpublished and not exceed 12 pages strictly following Springer's LNCS style. LNCS formatting guidelines and templates can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Authors shall submit their papers electronically to tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch before January 9, 2004. PDF format is preferred, but postscript format is also acceptable. Accepted papers will be published in the informal workshop proceedings. Selected papers will appear in the post-proceedings, which most probably will be published in the LNCS series of Springer.

August, 2004 GENERAL INFORMATION With more and more devices getting smart and interconnected, ad hoc and sensor networks will open up a realm of new communication and data exchange opportunities. These upcoming networks are characterized by their dynamic structure, lack of a pre-established fixed infrastructure, and constrained resources. In order to allow their successful deployment, various security challenges must be met. Examples include missing `a priori' security associations, no clear line of defense, the lack of a trusted infrastructure, complex multiple domain relationships, as well as bandwidth, computing, memory, and energy constraints. Due to the pervasive nature of applications relying on ad-hoc and sensor networks effective provisions for robust security solutions in a reliable and power efficient way must be taken. This workshop seeks submissions presenting novel research on all aspects of security and cryptography for ad-hoc and sensor networks. ESAS 2004 will be a workshop where the cryptography, security and wireless networking communities meet. Submission of papers based on work- in-progress is encouraged. The topics include but are not limited to: * Cryptographic protocols * Trust establishment, negotiation, and management * Security in constrained environments * Cooperation and fairness based protocols * Key management * Scalability evaluation of secure and reliable protocols * Secure routing * Secure hardware modules * Implementations of secure protocols * Deployment of secure protocols * Privacy and anonymity * Secure MAC protocols INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred submission form is by electronic mail to Claude.Castelluccia(a)inrialpes.fr. The submissions must not exceed 10 pages (excluding the title page, bibliography and appendices),nor 12 pages overall. The final version should not exceed 15 pages. Please submit the paper in Postscript or PDF, together with an extra file containing the email and physical address of the authors, an indication of the corresponding author, and a copy of the title, key words and abstract. We recommend that you generate the PS or PDF file using LaTeX and the LNCS style available at www.springer.de/comp/lncs. All submissions will be refereed.

Besides the technological advances, parallelism in all level of computation (thread, instruction, task, and program) has been exploited in such high performance network-based computing systems. Almost all of such systems have their performance mainly dependent to the employed interconnection networks for inter-node communication. Many factors affect the efficiency and usabilityof such networks, including the topology, the switching method, the routing mechanism, and the traffic load shape. This special issue will cover various topics on networks in high performance computing systems. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Switching techniques - Routing algorithms: unicast, multicast, broadcast, gossip, fault-tolerant, ... - Parallel and distributed algorithms and applications - Resource placement, scheduling, and load balancing - Topological properties, embedding, and VLSI layout of networks - Novel network topologies - Optical/Opto-electronic networks for high-performance system - Mobile distributed systems - Integrated design tool environments - Innovative parallel simulation techniques and tools - Mathematical performance modelling of network-based systems - Performance analysis and evaluation - Workload characterization and traffic modelling - Performance-directed design of networks - The impact of implementation technology on the design interconnection networks - Fault-tolerant architectures - Networks in DSM systems - Cache-memory support - I/O Support - Networks in SIMD and array processors - Networks in pipelined and vector architectures - Case studies studying networks in successful machines - Surveys on different issues in the design, implementation and simulation of high-performance computing systems PAPER SUBMISSION: ================= Prospective authors are invited to submit their original and previously unpublished papers to any one of the guest editors by May 1, 2004 . The authors are encouraged to submit by e-mail an electronic copy of the paper in pdf or ps format. If electronic submission is not possible, six hard copies of the manuscript should be submitted. Contributed papers may not exceed 20 double-spaced pages including all figures and illustrations. The first page of the submission should include the title, the names and affiliations of the authors, including complete postal and e-mail addresses, telephone, and fax numbers, a 150-word abstract, and 5-7 index terms (keywords). Submitted papers will undergo the standard review procedures of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Submission Deadline: May 1, 2004 Author Notification: August 1, 2004 Final Manuscript: September 1, 2004 Tentative Publication Date: Early 2005 SPECIAL ISSUE GUEST-EDITORS: ============================ H.
