Currently, wireless communication informs the human driver. In the future wireless communications will influence the movement of vehicles. Automated driving and driver assistance systems require the exchange of kinematic information in distributed control algorithms with very short latency. Future ITS that network automated vehicles with the goal of zero accidents have the potential to save more than 1 Mio. human lives and avoid 8 Mio. serious injuries worldwide every year. Dependable wireless communications with short-latency, low outage probability over non-stationary vehicular communication channels is a challenging task. It involves a multi disciplinary effort including vehicular channel measurements, characterization and modeling; cooperative communications; and low-latency protocol design. A dependable wireless communication framework will be essential for vehicular ad-hoc networks, device-to-device communication links in future 5G systems, and cyber physical systems in general. The goal of the workshop is to solicit the development of dependable vehicular communication systems. This workshop will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to dependable vehicular communications. The workshop will be co-located with IEEE ICC 2015, the International Conference on Communications (http://www.ieee-icc.org/), in London, UK. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Vehicular channel measurements - Channel characterization and modeling - Channel estimation algorithms - Cooperative communications for vehicular scenarios - Signal processing techniques - Protocols for cooperative communications - Integration of vehicular networks in 5G systems - Dependability aspects of channel access - Fault tolerant protocols and error recovery - System level simulation concepts - Key requirements (latency, reliability) and conformance tests for DVC - Performance bounds and optimization - Field tests of vehicular communications Organizing Committee: Thomas Zemen (FTW) Jerome Härri (EURECOM) Christoph Mecklenbräuker (TU Wien) Claude Oestges (UCL) Stefan Rührup (FTW) Christoph Sommer (Universität Paderborn) Erik Ström (Chalmers University) Fredrik Tufvesson (Lund Univ.)

This call for papers and other information about the workshop can be found at the following website: http://casper2015.uns.ac.rs Call for Papers With phones in their pockets, millions of people have access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, making it possible to harness the power of the crowd to collect and share data about their surroundings and experiences on a massive scale. Crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, making it possible to expand the scope of research endeavors and address civic issues without requiring the purchase of specialized sensors or the installation and maintenance of network infrastructure. Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources and may allow for collecting data in previously inaccessible locations and contexts. This new data collection paradigm introduces several research challenges. Privacy is a primary concern for users that are contributing sensitive or identifying data. Incentive mechanisms for participation may be needed to encourage people to volunteer their resources to collect data. Methods are needed for processing large- scale, user-generated data sets into meaningful information, and for assessing and understanding the quality of information to help guide decision-making. Approaches that involve the crowd in such data analysis tasks, with humans serving as a source of semantic information, interpretation, and evaluation of crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing data, can also help to build an understanding of the physical, computational, and socio-technical environment. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing. We invite original research contributions that advance the state of the art as well as position papers that pose a new direction or present a controversial point of view. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Algorithms to handle, process, and visualize large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data sets * Data integrity, security, privacy, and provenance for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Determining and assessing Quality of Information for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Crowd-assisted (human-in-the-loop) approaches to analyzing crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Context modeling and reasoning in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Incentive mechanisms for participation in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Supporting crowdsensing/crowdsourcing in heterogeneous networks * Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing for pervasive systems * Novel use of sensors for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Energy-efficient mechanisms for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Programming abstractions and middleware for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Novel large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications Submitted papers must be original contributions that are unpublished and are not currently under consideration for publication by other venues. Submissions are limited to a maximum length of 6 pages and must adhere to IEEE format (2 column, 10 pt font). Templates are available via the workshop website. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom Workshop Proceedings. Note, that each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration (no registration is available for workshops only)!

Best, Xia ——————————————————————————————————————————————- The 16th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications ACM HotMobile 2015 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 12-13 February, 2015 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2015/ ——————————————————————————————————————————————- ACM HotMobile 2015, the Sixteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile’s small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. Important Dates: — Paper submission deadline: October 13, 2014, 11:59pm EST — Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2014 We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the topic areas listed below. However, papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome. • Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility • Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing • Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness • HCI issues related to mobile computing • Security and privacy of mobile computing • Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2015 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages (10pt font size) in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2015 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy.

On Nov. 19th we are holding a workshop on testbed-based wireless research at KTH in Stockholm. Among technical presentations, there will also be so called "community meetings" for WARP and USRP, organized by repesentatives from Mango Communications and National Instruments. These meetings give you an opportunity to get to know the development roadmap ahead, while also allowing to discuss recent/novel initiatives etc. The workshop is free of charge but we ask for registration in advance: - Registration deadline for talks is Oct. 15th. - Registration deadline for attendance is Nov 1st. More details below ... Hope to see you in Sthlm, James ############################### European Workshop on Testbed-Based Wireless Research November 19th 2014 KTH Main Campus, Stockholm, Sweden web:http://people.kth.se/~perz/ewtbwr/2014/ws.html Following up on the successful "scandinavian workshop on testbed based wireless research" of last year we are happy to announce the more ambitious first "European workshop on testbed based wireless research" which will also be held at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH. ### Workshop scope ### Over the last decade software-defined radios have become an important tool for evaluating novel ideas on algorithms and protocols for wireless communications and networking. This has been recognized by many research groups in academia and industry, leading to a steady proliferation of wireless testbed equipment around the world. This is accompanied by a massive increase in research output related to experimental evaluation rather than traditional methods like mathematical analysis or simulations. In this workshop, we intend to offer the community a meeting venue for knowledge exchange in a rather informal way. The workshop is dedicated to 1. The presentation of novel research results at an early stage without formal paper submission, reviewing and a subsequent workshop proceeding. This gives researchers the opportunity to get feedback on their work at an early stage, likely improving subsequent publications. 2. Sharing prototyping best-practice and development experience with other researchers and developers in the community, and discussing initiatives and concerns with respect to different development platforms together with representatives of the platform development teams. To achieve this, the workshop is composed of three different parts: - Presentation slots for (early) research results, accompanied by an abstract but no formal paper published later in a proceeding. - Poster and demo presentations also accompanied by an abstract but no paper presented in a proceeding. - Parallel two-hour community meetings, with Mango and National Instruments respectively. The two communities will present the latest new from their respective development platforms USRP (National instruments) and WARP (Mango). These community meetings will also have the opportunity for researchers to discuss their concerns, needs, ideas, suggestions etc. with the company representatives and the broader community. For paper, poster or demo presentation, we solicit contributions in the broad areas of wireless communications and networking as long as they are related to experimental work. Areas of interest are (but not limited to): - Physical layer design - Protocol design, not only limited to the medium access control layer - Network optimization and management - Validation results, i.e. performance comparisons between theoretical and experimental work - Tools for experimental platforms (i.e. new libraries, novel hardware/software designs etc.) ### Registration ### For participants the workshop is free of charge, i.e. we do not request a registration fee. However, participants need to register: - Pure participation requires a registration by November 1st. - Talks need to be registered with a title and an abstract by October 15th. The organizing committee will decide on the assignment of presentation slots if we receive too many registrations for talks. The slot assignments will be based on relevance to the workshop community and novelty of the contribution. - Demos are accepted as they are proposed, as well as poster presentations. Here, we request a registration by November 1st. Abstracts for talks and demos should be limited to two pages in IEEE conference style format. Please register talks, demos and/or participation by sending an email to per.zetterberg(a)ee.kth.se with subject [EWT] . ### Workshop Organization and Program Committee ### - Per Zetterberg (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - James Gross (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - Patrick Murphy (Mango Communications) - Leif Johansson (National Instruments) - Linda Doyle (Trinity College Dublin) - Matthias Hollick (TU Darmstadt) -- James Gross Associate Professor School of Electrical Engineering Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Osquldas Väg 10, SE-100 44 Stockholm Phone: +46-8-7908819 Web: people.kth.se/~jamesgr/ -- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

A demo paper submission should include an overview of the demonstration set-up (the inclusion of photographs of the demonstrator are encouraged) and the results that will be showcased to the attendees. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, it will be downloaded by the demo co-chairs such that it can be hosted on our website to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will then also be advertised on the conference website. For all accepted demonstration proposals, the demo co-chairs will follow up with the authors to obtain requests for required equipment and/or facilities (power outlets, Internet connections, table dimensions, etc.). Demonstrations may be supported by a poster describing the general set-up of the demonstration, its background, and the! technical content to be demonstrated. The authors should inform the demo co-chairs if an accompanying poster will be presented. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference CD proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Please note that for every accepted papers, poster or demo paper, at least one person must register for the conference and present the poster or demo. --------------------------------- VENUE --------------------------------- IEEE VNC 2014 will take place at the Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum, the world's largest computer museum, located in Paderborn, Germany.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Extended deadline: Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy (MidSEE'15) Datum: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:16:20 +0200 Von: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ======================================================================== --------------------------------- EXTENDED DEADLINE: 3 October 2014 --------------------------------- MidSEE 2015 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy in conjunction with NetSys 2015 March 12, 2015 Cottbus, Germany https://www.netsys2015.com/workshops-tutorials/midsee/ ======================================================================== MOTIVATION & WORKSHOP SCOPE Smart energy meters are increasingly installed in newly constructed buildings worldwide, as regulated by, e.g., the European Union's Energy Services Directive. Their combination with the vision of an Internet of Things, in which billions of embedded devices will continually monitor the environment, enables the fine-grained monitoring of household and office energy usage and hence a large range of novel services. While many such functions have been devised so far (e.g., advice how to save energy or the disaggregation of electricity bills), these solutions commonly rely on the availability of hard- and software systems by a single manufacturer. Interoperability, including the potential to integrate new energy metering devices, is mostly unsupported due to the wide variety of (non-compatible) standards and communication protocols. This workshop provides a platform to present current research activities in communications and processing of energy consumption data, with its primary focus on electric energy usage. The scope of the workshop includes contributions that address the integration of energy metering equipment from different manufacturers into a single middleware system which operates on a building level, as well as novel means to collect, process and visualize these data. Accepted papers will not only present novel research results in these domains, but also comprise an evaluation in which their merits are assessed. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel energy metering hardware designs and experiences - Data collection and command distribution protocols for energy management systems - Middleware systems for energy data, including novel local data processing algorithms - Control of alternative energy sources to increase their production efficiency - Innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production - Sensing and actuation of electrical loads - Privacy and security in energy management middleware systems - User interfaces for energy display, management and control PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit papers of up to 6 pages in IEEE two-column format. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. More details about the submission process can be found on the website. IMPORTANT DATES Submission: Oct. 3rd, 2014 (extended deadline) Notification: Nov. 17th, 2014 Camera Ready: Dec. 10th, 2014 Workshop: Mar. 12th, 2015 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Christian Renner, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Delphine Christin, University of Bonn & Fraunhofer FKIE, Germany PROGRAM COMMITTEE Matteo Ceriotti, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Delphine Christin, University of Bonn & Fraunhofer FKIE, Germany Alexander De Luca, LMU München, Germany Paul Dunphy, Newcastle University, UK Wilfried Elmenreich, Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Austria Stefan Fischer, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Hannes Frey, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Stefan Katzenbeisser, TU Darmstadt, Germany Marco Ortolani, University of Palermo, Italy Oliver Parson, University of Southampton, UK Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Christian Renner, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Christian Steger, TU Graz, Austria Volker Turau, TU Hamburg-Harburg, Germany Sebastian Zöller, TU Darmstadt, Germany ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The paper submission deadline is fast approaching. Best, Xia ——————————————————————————————————————————————- The 16th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications ACM HotMobile 2015 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 12-13 February, 2015 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2015/ ——————————————————————————————————————————————- ACM HotMobile 2015, the Sixteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile’s small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. Important Dates: — Paper submission deadline: October 6, 2014, 11:59pm EST — Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2014 We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the topic areas listed below. However, papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome. • Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility • Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing • Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness • HCI issues related to mobile computing • Security and privacy of mobile computing • Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2015 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages (10pt font size) in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2015 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. If you have any questions, please email the PC chair at croy(a)illinois.edu. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

In order to achieve real time context awareness, data related to personal context needs to be sensed and used. This bears technical, and at the same time legal and psychological implications. The 1st Workshop on interdisciplinary advances in real time context awareness addresses researchers who focus on technical, legal, psychological aspects, and especially interdisciplinary research on real time context awareness. The ubiquitous availability of sensors in mobile and personal devices (e.g. smartphones) enables the collection of personal situation specific user data. This data can be used for real time context aware applications. At the same time, legal and psychological issues emerge when processing personal user data. Therefore, we invite researchers in computer science and related disciplines to submit original work on advances and interdisciplinary research on real time context awareness. Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Real time context data processing, and forecasting * Security and privacy in real time context awareness * Legal implications and requirements of real time context aware systems * Psychological implications and requirements of real time context aware systems Important Dates: ---------------- * Paper Submission: September 26th, 2014 * Author Notification: November 8th, 2014 * Camera-Ready Submission: December 10th, 2014 * Workshop: March 13th, 2014 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not considered elsewhere for publication.

To accommodate various streaming data of IoT applications, LTE/LTE-A standards have defined several quality-of-service (QoS) classes for different traffic characteristics, in terms of traffic bit-rate, tolerable delay and packet loss rate. Moreover, to meet the stringent power-saving requirements for IoT devices, LTE/LTE-A standards also have defined the discontinuous reception/transmission (DRX/DTX) mechanism to allow devices to turn off their radio interfaces and go to sleep when no data need to be received or transmitted from/to the evolved Node B (eNB). Clearly, the convergence of IoT and 3GPP LTE network can considerably benefit both sides. IoT devices could efficiently transfer their data using LTE/LTE-A networks, while the LTE/LTE-A operators may develop more value-added IoT services. Despite such promising future, there are still many challenges for IoT over LTE/LTE-A network. This special issue aims to help both industry and academia research communities to better understand the recent progress and potential research directions on the path towards the future of IoT over LTE/LTE-A. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: * Future IoT concepts, applications and services for LTE/LTE-A networks * Energy efficient IoT with LTE DRX/DTX fine tune * QoS provisioning and cross-layer design for Internet of Things over 4G cellular network * LTE Security and privacy enhancement for Internet of Things * Hierarchical LTE IoT architectures and eNB IoT Gateway * Novel traffic modeling and resource/mobility management for LTE/LTE-A IoT * Commercial model and case study of LTE/LTE-A IoT System * Data-centric, protocol-centric and technology-centric approaches for the design of IoT in LTE/LTE-A * Data fusion and aggregation for IoT over LTE/LTE-A * Novel pricing, billing and charging schemes for LTE/LTE-A IoT system * Successful testbeds and trials of LTE/LTE-A IoT system * Current and future standardization activities related to cellular IoT IMPORTANT DATES - Submissions Deadline: March 15, 2015 - First Reviews Due: June 15, 2015 - Revision Due: July 15, 2015 - Second Reviews Due/Notification: August 15, 2015 - Final Manuscript Due: August 30, 2015 - Publication Date: October 20 SUBMISSION The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Internet of Things over LTE/LTE-A Network.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2015 CFP Datum: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:32:17 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2015) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby March 27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA in conjunction with PerCom 2015 (http://www.percom.org) March 23-27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, the combined proceedings (main conference + workshops) are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 45. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website). IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: November 26, 2014 - Notification of acceptance: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop: March 27, 2015 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Petteri Nurmi, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, University of Helsinki, Finland TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Linköping University, Sweden Gergely Biczók, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Thanh Dang, Washington State University Vancouver, USA Denzil Ferreira, University of Oulu, Finland Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Shin'ichi Konomi, The University of Tokyo, Japan Brent Lagesse, University of Washington at Bothell, USA Neal Lathia, University of Cambridge, UK Alan Marchiori, Bucknell University, USA Liam Mcnamara, Uppsala University, Sweden Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Chiang Mai University, Thailand Christian Poellabauer, University of Notre Dame, USA Alicia Rodriguez-Carrion, University Carlos III of Madrid Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Marco Zuniga, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Melek Önen, EURECOM, France Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Yaxiong Zhao, Google, USA STEERING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy _______________________________________________ ISCC mailing list ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it https://mama.ing.unibo.it/listinfo/iscc

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI)
by Lars Wolf 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Mirja Kühlewind" <mirja.kuehlewind(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Gesendet: 9. September 2014 06:21:45 GMT-10:00 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI) IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI) 26-27 January 2015 – ETH Zürich, Switzerland The Internet’s transport layer has ossified, squeezed between narrow interfaces (from BSD sockets to pseudo-transport over HTTPS) and increasing in-network modification of traffic by middleboxes that make assumptions about the protocols running through them. This ossification makes it difficult to innovate in the transport layer, through the deployment of new protocols or the extension of existing ones. At the same time, emerging applications require functionality that existing protocols can provide only inefficiently, if at all. To begin to address this problem, the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), within the scope of its IP Stack Evolution Program, is organizing a workshop to discuss approaches to de-ossifying transport, especially with respect to interactions with middleboxes and new methods for implementing transport protocols. Recognizing that the end-to-end principle has long been compromised, we start with the fundamental question of matching paths through the Internet with certain characteristics to application and transport requirements. Which paths through the Internet are actually available to applications? Which transports can be used over these paths? How can applications cooperate with network elements to improve path establishment and discovery? Can common transport functionality and standardization help application developers to implement and deploy such approaches in today’s Internet? Could cooperative approaches give us a way to rebalance the Internet back toward its end-to-end roots? Topics For this workshop we would like to consider topics that speak to these questions, including the following: - Development and deployment of transport-like features in application- layer protocols - Methods for discovery of path characteristics and protocol availability along a path - Methods for middlebox detection and characterization of middlebox behavior and functionality - Methods for NAT and middlebox traversal in the establishment of end- to-end paths - Mechanisms for cooperative path-endpoint signaling, and lessons learned from existing approaches - Economic considerations and incentives for cooperation in middlebox deployment We will explicitly focus on approaches that are incrementally deployable within the present Internet. The outcome of the workshop will be architectural and engineering guidance on future work in the area, published as an IAB workshop report, based on discussion of proposed approaches; future work will be pursued within the IAB Stack Evolution Program. We will also explore possible areas for standardization, e.g. new protocols that separate signaling to and from on-path devices and common transport semantics from the rest of the transport protocol; and for general guidance, e.g. how transports as well as middleboxes can be designed and deployed to achieve these goals. Submission Instructions Attendance at the workshop is by invitation. Prospective participants are invited to submit short position papers outlining their views on one or more topics related to the scope of the workshop. Position papers will be published on the IAB website at: http://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/semi/. Submissions accepted at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semi2015 Submission Deadline: 31 October 2014 Notification Deadline: 17 November 2014 Workshop Dates: 26-27 January 2015 Sponsored by the Internet Architecture Board, the Internet Society, and ETH Zürich.

The Communication Software Award honors the best practice-oriented application, tool, framework, or demonstration showing innovative and original research in the areas of networks, communication, and distributed systems. Submissions of novel, original works from both academia and industry are invited, nominations of students, from academic research projects, or small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) are especially encouraged. Products that are already commercially available during the NetSys’15 conference are excluded from the awards. Nominations of either single applicants or groups are welcome, the best student application may get an additional award. The submission should include an extended abstract of up to two pages. Submissions should include authorship (with affiliations), the problem domain and application of the communication software nominated, platform requirements, and the envisioned licensing scheme. They should explicitly state what will be demonstrated at the NetSys 2015 conference and how the audience will be able to interact and experiment with it. The following assessment criteria should additionally be explicitly addressed: * the relevance to its application in practice * innovation and novelty of the new software * enhancements as compared to prior systems * the state of the software and its maturity for application Submission Process: ------------------- All nominations will undergo a preliminary review process for shortlisting. All shortlisted systems will have to be presented at the NetSys 2015 conference in Cottbus (registration to the conference is therefore required) in a demo session, and the prize will be awarded following the final selection of the committee on site. Submissions should be emailed to the committee chair of the NetSys 2015 demonstration session: chairs(a)netsys2015.com Abstracts are published at the conference web site.
