Opportunistic Networking is one of the emerging communication paradigms in wireless mobile communications. Opportunistic networks are commonly defined as a type of networks where communication is challenged by sporadic and intermittent contacts as well as frequent disconnections and reconnections, and where the assumption of the existence of an end-to-end path between the source and the destination is relinquished. The aim of MobiOpp 2012 is to provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and engineers to present their latest research in the field of mobile opportunistic networking. In particular, MobiOpp 2012 strongly encourages submissions of experimental work. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Opportunistic, Delay-tolerant and Hybrid Networks - Mobile Urban Sensing and Crowdsensing - Novel Architectures, Middleware, Prototypes and Testbeds - Routing, Dissemination and Caching in Opportunistic Networks - Analysis of Opportunistic Protocols - Security, Trust, Privacy and Cooperation in Opportunistic Networks - Social-aware Opportunistic Networking - Anti-censorship/surveillance opportunistic communications - Opportunistic Applications (e.g., opportunistic social networking, disaster and emergency situations, healthcare, communication in remote regions) - Mobility models for opportunistic networks Submitted papers should be novel and should not be currently under review, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form. We accept paper submissions of **8 pages** and demo and poster abstracts of 2 pages at http://edas.info/N11119 . Further formatting requirements are available on the website. The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. MobiOpp 2012 is also featured on social networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE NOMEN 2012 (INFOCOM'12 Workshop) Datum: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 22:03:17 -0500 Von: Yu Cheng <cheng(a)iit.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ********* CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE NOMEN 2012 ********* IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Emerging Design Choices in Name-Oriented Networking ******* in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2012 ******* March 30, 2012 Orlando, Florida Scope of the conference Exponential growth of video traffic and on-line storage services in recent years has brought performance degradation to previously successful services. Networks increasingly rely on Content-Distribution Networks (CDNs) to deliver popular services like YouTube, Deezer, Spotify and MegaUpload to an ever growing user population. Moreover, more and more users are gaining access to the network via smart mobile devices equipped with multiple wireless and wired interfaces, capable of storing a huge amount of data and running all kinds of network services. Network connectivity is thus increasingly heterogeneous, of variable quality and intermittent. In view of these trends, network providers and vendors are seeking to develop a more flexible network infrastructure, natively incorporating in-network storage, mobility, multi-path forwarding, and multi-homing. In particular, the concept of name-oriented networking (also referred to as content-centric or information-centric networking) is taking center stage in recent research on the architecture of the future Internet. Instead of host-to-host communication, as in the current Internet architecture, a name-oriented network architecture makes named data a first class entity. It cares about which data to fetch instead of which host to reach, using data names to retrieve content instead of addresses of data containers. This basic idea has spawned a number of network architecture proposals that share common principles, including in-network storage, multi-path data forwarding, multiparty communication, mobility support and tolerance of intermittent connectivity, but differ, sometimes fundamentally, in the way they would be achieved. The objective of the workshop is to present original work on emerging design choices within the scope of name-oriented networking enabling a reasoned comparison of their respective advantages and more clearly identifying the issues and solutions that transcend these differences. We solicit submissions of original work pertaining to the design, development, performance evaluation and analysis of network architectures centered on named data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Naming * Security and privacy * Name-oriented routing protocols * Forwarding strategies * Network management and operations * Mobility management * Delay tolerant networks * In-network caching techniques * Performance Evaluation * Router designs * Resource management and congestion control * Transport protocols * Traffic engineering * New application designs and use cases * Implementation and deployment experience * Business models and economic issues Manuscript submissions Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and in a pdf file. They should report original work that is not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Conference proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplore library. Further submission instructions will be published on the conference web site.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 20th International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2012) Datum: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:36:14 -0300 Von: Eduardo Cerqueira <cerqueira.ufpa(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [** Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this posting **] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20th IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2012) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal, June 4-5, 2012 http://www.ieee-iwqos.org/ Quality of Service (QoS) in communication systems has been a long lasting research focus worldwide. The twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to the topic. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial communication, and green computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: Quality of cloud services and cloud computing Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware QoS parsing, identification and control Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks Energy awareness in communication systems Design for the Future Internet PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ------------------------------------------------ IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Paper submission deadline: Feb. 8, 2012 Notification of acceptance: April 5, 2012 Camera-ready papers: April 23, 2012 Conference dates: June 4-5, 2012 GENERAL CO-CHAIRS -------------------------------- Fernando Boavida, University of Coimbra, Portugal Marilia Curado, University of Coimbra, Portugal TCP CO-CHAIRS ------------------------ Torsten Braun, University of Bern, Switzerland Edmundo Monteiro, University of Coimbra, Portugal PUBLICITY CO-CHAIRS ------------------------ Eduardo Cerqueira, University of Para, Brazil Jorge Granjal, University of Coimbra, Portugal STEERING COMMITTEE ---------------------------------- Georgios Karagiannis, University of Twente, Netherlands Gunnar Karlsson, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Shigang Chen, University of Florida-Gainesville, USA Srihari Nelakuditi, University of South Carolina-Columbia, USA Bin Liu, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China Chunming Qiao, University at Buffalo, NY USA _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
