-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline in 2 weeks: Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'14) at SIGCOMM Datum: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 16:15:48 +0100 Von: Mirja Kühlewind <mirja.kuehlewind(a)IKR.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Mirja Kühlewind <mirja.kuehlewind(a)IKR.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------- Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'14) ----------------------------------- in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2014 conference, on August 18, Chicago, USA. Changing usage behavior, increasing demand for bandwidth as well as a continuous trend towards virtualizing networks and network functions raise questions on how to share limited capacity resources fairly and more efficiently while maintaining the best possible Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. While efficiency is most important when resources are spare, fairness need to be evaluated based on the different quality requirements of the various Internet services that we have today. For example, the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, was mostly engineered to provide a low loss service, low-latency services are not well supported today. In data centers, virtualization and high utilization promise economic benefits. However, effective, yet practical capacity sharing between tenants and applications is an important requirement. This has led to the development of enhancements in capacity sharing, especially congestion control mechanisms – some of these mechanisms are domain-specific, others lend themselves to adoption or generalization for inter-connected networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of network and transport protocols in the Internet as well as data centers and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We want to encourage researchers to consider the problem space over all layers. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Network, transport, and application layer as well as cross-layer solutions, e.g. in the area of AQM, congestion control, or connection start-up * Application-layer models and requirements especially for interactive and real-time media services in fixed and mobile networks * Context-aware resource allocation especially in cellular/fixed access networks and fixed/mobile convergence * Multi-tenancy capacity sharing and isolation in virtual networks * Approaches to reduce latency with or without network support (e.g ECN) and latency measurements * QoE/QoS mapping, metrics and measurements * Traffic management, classification and characterization in the Internet and data centers * Fairness definitions and economic aspects on capacity sharing * Related standardization activities, projects and regulatory constraints Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format. Please see the workshop webpage for further guidelines. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2014/csws.php Please use the following link for paper submission: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csws14 Important Dates ---------------- Paper submission deadline: March 14, 2014 Acceptance notification: April 25, 2014 Camera-ready paper: May 23, 2014 Workshop date: August 18, 2014 Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Mirja Kühlewind, IKR University of Stuttgart, Germany Dirk Kutscher, NEC Europe Labs Heidelberg, Germany ------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

28 Feb '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] International Teletraffic Congress (ITC-26) - Call for Papers (Deadline Extension) Datum: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 07:47:12 -0500 Von: Florin Ciucu <f.ciucu(a)WARWICK.AC.UK> Antwort an: Florin Ciucu <f.ciucu(a)WARWICK.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies for cross posting... Call for Papers 26th International Teletraffic Congress September 09-11, 2014, Karlskrona, Sweden "Teletraffic Contributions Towards a Sustainable World" http://www.itc26.org After years of traffic growth, network over-provisioning policies have shown their limitations. Thus, traffic modeling and analysis have regained an important role to the provisioning of performance models, evaluation methods, monitoring and management approaches that allow for efficient dimensioning of network resources for various network technologies and communication requirements. In fact, such tools are of utmost importance for increased sustainability of communication solutions, which in turn improve the sustainability of environment, society and businesses. The motto of ITC 26 has been chosen with these challenges in mind.

Fwd: [Mobiwsn] PWSN 2014, 6th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mobiwsn] PWSN 2014, 6th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks Datum: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 22:36:26 +0200 Von: Vasos Vassiliou <vasosv(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> An: mobiwsn(a)mail.cs.ucy.ac.cy ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2014 6th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2014/ May 28 2014, Marina Del Ray, California, USA In conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '14) ========================================================================= Most existing wireless sensor network (WSN) installations have in common that they are not considered time-critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. However, many emerging WSN applications such as plant automation and control, smart cities or health care applications require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network. In some scenarios, data even has to travel through the sensor network and the Internet to reach the destination. In this situation the overall system spanning the Internet and sensor networks must provide together the required performance characteristics. Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a WSN with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners designing and deploying sensor networks that have to meet specific performance targets. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- Communication protocols with deterministic performance Network resilience, fault tolerance, network survivability Sensor data quality, integrity, and availability Performance-aware middleware Real-time operating systems for sensor networks Actuation and control Programming abstractions for deterministic sensor networks Impact of security features on network performance Experience with real-world deployments and applications Performance management of deployed sensor networks Timely data storage, retrieval, and processing Performance modelling and performance evaluation Configuration and installation support Performance debugging and performance optimization Important dates: ---------------- Paper Submission deadline: March 21, 2014 Acceptance Notification: April 7, 2014 Camera Ready Paper: April 14, 2014 Workshop date: May 28, 2014 Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Konstantinos Psounis, - University of Southern California Vasos Vassiliou - University of Cyprus Paper Submission ---------------- Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.
