Fwd: [Tccc] due on 6/1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] due on 6/1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 13:18:58 +0800 Von: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [ Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Due date for the next issue: June 1, 2013 IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network - SI on Open Source for Networking: Development and Experimentation Datum: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 02:48:52 +0800 Von: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> First call for papers DUE: August 1, 2013 IEEE Network Special Issue on “Open Source for Networking: Development and Experimentation” Open source plays an increasingly important role in the software and communications industries. For example, open source implementations are widely available for most of Internet protocols, from TCP/IP in kernel space (such as Linux, Android and BSD-based systems), down to MAC/PHY in hardware such as Ethernet and WLAN transceivers, and up to applications in user space such as WWW clients, servers and proxies. Open sourced applications are arguably becoming more prevalent than proprietary closed software. Hundreds of open source networking packages have played important roles in our daily life. The same open source spirit also goes to the development platforms for simulation, rapid prototyping, software defined radio, and software defined networking (with ns-3, NetFPGA, GNU radio and OpenFlow being examples in each category respectively). This special issue aims to provide a platform for sharing experiences on developing network-related open sources from various aspects for a diverse community of professionals from academia, industry and independent hackers. Solicited articles include works reporting development experiences, experimental studies, and enhancement works on important or new packages. Open source packages of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: § Development platforms: ns-3 (network simulator), NetFPGA (rapid prototyping), OpenFlow (software defined networking), GNU radio (software defined radio) § Utilities: Wireshark (packet sniffer), NIST Net (WAN emulator) § Hardware: DES/AES (crypto), OFDM and MIMO (modulation) § Protocol stacks: TCP/IPv4/IPv6 (Linux- and BSD-based protocol stacks), bridging, drivers, socket, tc (traffic control for Linux), ipfw/dummynet (traffic control for FreedBSD and Linux) § Daemon and library: Zebra, Quagga, Xorp (routing), RTP/RTCP library (real-time protocol) § Network security: Snort (IDS), IPsec (VPN), Netfilter and iptables (TCP/IP firewall), FWTK (application firewall), ClamAV (anti-virus), SpamAssassin (anti-spam), Nessus (vulnerability scanner) § Network applications: bind (DNS), qmail (Mail), apache (HTTP), Darwin (Streaming), Bit Torrent (P2P), Diaspora (social networking) Submission With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/netmag/paper-submission-guidelines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: ACM CHANTS 2013 (co-located with ACM MobiCom) Datum: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 20:05:17 +0000 Von: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fb375(a)CAM.AC.UK> Antwort an: fehmi.ben-abdesslem(a)cl.cam.ac.uk An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2013 - 8th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2013 September 30-October 4, Miami, Florida, USA www.acm-chants.org/13 ______________________________________________________________________ SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet protocol architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks also find application in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. This workshop builds on the success of the seven previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: • Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) • Opportunistic communication and computing • Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks • Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols • Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks • Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use • Applications for challenged networks (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management, vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowd-sourcing, sensor networks) • Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks • Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments • Network science methods for challenged networks • Mobile data offloading and content-centric approaches via challenged networks • Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems • Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks • Applications of challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life • Mobile cloud solutions in challenged networks Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop, including a keynote speaker and a panel. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work are encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements.

Papers of particular merit will be considered for a special section/issue in the Elsevier Journal of Computer Communications (COMCOM) and the Elsevier Journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC). SCOPE AND OVERVIEW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today, energy efficiency is widely regarded as one of the biggest technological and societal challenges for developing a more sustainable world. The Internet - and more generally information and communication technologies (ICT) - can play an essential role to achieve a more sustainable energy use and to reduce our carbon footprint. On the one hand, Internet is a significant energy consumer, and it is necessary to redesign current Internet technologies, as well as network architectures, devices and components, services and protocols to improve energy efficiency. On the other hand, ICT is a key enabling technology to foster a more intelligent use of energy in areas such as buildings, transport and electric grids. Both aspects of the problem raise interesting scientific challenges, and require a comprehensive effort and inter-disciplinary research at all levels of abstraction.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MobileHealth 2013 - Deadline Extended to April 08, 2013 Datum: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:10:13 +0100 Von: Saadi Boudjit <boudjit(a)univ-paris13.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] MobileHealth 2013 http://www-l2ti.univ-paris13.fr/~boudjit/MobileHealth2013/ Third ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare -------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held in conjunction with MobiHoc 2013 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2013/ 29 July - 1 August, 2013. Bangalore, India ------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical sponsorship: ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the workshop ----------------------- After the two first successful editions of MobileHealth, MobileHealth'2011 in Paris (France) and MobileHealth'2012 in Hilton Head Island (USA), the third edition of the workshop will be held in Bangalore - India on July 29th, 2013 in conjunction with the 14th edition of ACM MobiHoc symposium (MobiHoc 2013). Recent Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient's data back to health care centers over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance. However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a set of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and use of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset after transfer in 3G and/or WiFi connection to a data server, the access to the collected data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to consider. Each level represents a fairly complex subsystem with a local hierarchy employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost. MobileHealth'2013 workshop aims to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas and would be an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The workshop will include presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and systems.

CFP: 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013)
by Cristina Alcaraz 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

** Apologies for multiple copies ** C a l l F o r P a p e r s 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013) Amsterdam, The Netherlands September 16-18, 2013 http://www.critis2013.nl The annually held CRITIS conference is devoted to Critical (Information) Infrastructure security, protection and resilience. The 8th edition will be held from 16-18 September 2013 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The CRITIS 2013 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers and critical infrastructure stakeholders who wish to present their papers at the conference. More information can be found at: www.critis2013.nl. Modern societies increasingly depend on critical infrastructures. Those themselves increasingly depend on and are entangled with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Disruption or loss of (ICT-based) critical infrastructures may result in serious consequences for the functioning of the society, the economy, the functioning of governments, the ecology and social well-being of people, and in the most unfortunate cases loss of human lives, livestock and other animals. As a consequence, the security, reliability and resilience of these infrastructures are critical for the society. Critical (Information) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a major objective for governments, companies, operators of these infrastructures and the worldwide research community. CRITIS 2013 is set to continue a well-established tradition of presenting innovative research and exploring new challenges for the protection of critical information-based infrastructures (CIP/CIIP). CRITIS brings together stakeholders from industry, operators and governments as well as researchers and professionals from academia, applied research organisations and industry interested in all different aspects of C(I)IP. One focus of CRITIS 2013 is on the new challenges of cyber resilience of smart cities and smart mobility, a topic that will be highlighted by thought provoking and visionary keynote speeches and by conference papers. The second day of CRITIS 2013 will be a meeting place between the diverse set of C(I)IP stakeholders with their short, medium and long term needs and the academic and applied research communities. CRITIS2013 intends to foster collaboration, to find common, collaborative approaches towards solutions and to boost R&D to address the identified needs. On the third day, the focus will be on the (academic) advances in C(I)IP R&D. A (virtual) multi-disciplinary community of new talented PhD students and junior researchers in the field of C(I)IP will be build: YOUNG CRITIS. Young CRITIS appeals to the scientific C(I)IP communities at national, European and global level. Given the focus areas above, the programme committee will select papers per topic category (or track) mentioned below. Therefore, authors need to state which topic category they address. Researchers are solicited to contribute to the conference by submitting research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D project results, surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant advances in C(I)IP. Stakeholders from governments, Critical Infrastructure operators, and industry are encouraged to submit papers which describe their current and future challenges to be engaged by researchers and multidisciplinary research teams. Important Dates Deadline for submission of papers: May 10, 2013 Notification to authors: June 30, 2013 Camera-ready papers: August 16, 2013 The CRITIS 2013 Scientific Committee invites papers for the following four topic categories: Topic category 1: Resilience of Smart Cities and Smart Mobility Topic category 2: Requirements for C(I)IP by C(I)I stakeholders (e.g., Industry, CI operators, government agencies, EU Directorates) and integrated solution directions by CIP/CIIP-related R&D communities and disciplines. Topics of interest for category 2 include: C(I)IP requirements for Resilient Smart Cities C(I)IP requirements for Resilient Smart Mobility C(I)IP requirements posed as future (near, mid and long term) challenges Requirements for Resilient (Information) Infrastructures C(I)I Survivability requirements The use of clouds for C(I)I operations Economics, Investments and Incentives of C(I)IP C(I)I Exercises & Contingency Plans Trust Models in Normal Situations and During Escalation C(I)IP Polices at National and Cross-border levels C(I)IP R&D Agenda at National and International levels Papers submitted for category 2 that do not fit the focus of the second conference day, may be reassigned by the conference organizers to the selection process of categories 3 and 4. Topic category 3: Advances in C(I)IP Topic category 4: YOUNG CRITIS Topics of interest for categories 3 and 4 include all topics mentioned under category 2 as well as topics like: Resilient C(I)I and C(I)I Survivability Resilience of interacting C(I)I Cyber Defense of C(I)I Self-healing, Self-protection, and Self-management Architectures C(I)I dependency Modeling, Simulation, Analysis and Validation Protection of Complex Cyber - Physical Systems Cyber security related threats & vulnerabilities, modeling and analysis Cyber Security of Smart Grids, Process Control and SCADA Advanced Forensic Methodologies for C(I)I Public - Private Partnership for C(I)I Resilience Instructions for Paper Submission All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least three reviewers.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC SI on D2D Communications

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC SI on D2D Communications Datum: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:24:03 -0700 (PDT) Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Device-to-Device Communications in Cellular Networks (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Calls/DevicetoDeviceCFP.pdf) Submission Deadline: May 1, 2013 Mobile data traffic, especially mobile video traffic, has dramatically increased in recent years with the emergence of smart phones, tablets, and various new applications. It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to accommodate these bandwidth consuming applications and services. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed and unlicensed spectrum. It enables two mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish a direct local link and to bypass the base station or access point. D2D communication may either be network-controlled where the operator manages the switching between direct and conventional cellular links, or the direct links may be managed by the devices without operator control. D2D allows combining infrastructure-mode and ad hoc communication. Device-to-device communications may have advantages such as: 1) improved performance for devices; 2) improved spectrum reuse and system throughput; 3) offloading in cellular networks; 4) improved energy efficiency; 5) extended coverage; 6) creation of new services. It also poses new problems and challenges. A issue is how to share resources dynamically (e.g. spectrum and energy) between cellular communication and ad hoc D2D communication to accommodate larger volumes of traffic and to provide better service to users. Other challenges include: identification of services for which D2D communication is useful; radio resource allocation and resource management; self-organizing direct links; proximity-based offloading, and capacity evaluation and performance comparison. The special issue addresses research advances that enable D2D communications in cellular networks. The goal is to report on the most up-to-date contributions in this area. Device-to-device communication must be central to all topics that include, but are not limited to, the following. •Power and interference management •Proximity-based detection and offloading •Self-organizing device discovery •Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication •Device vs operator controlled link establishment •Link management and mode selection •Capacity analysis and energy efficiency evaluation •Group communication and broadcasting •Multi-hop D2D communications •Quality improvement for real-time applications •Channel measurements and modelling •Mobility measurements, modelling and management •New services and applications Submission Guideline Authors should refer to the submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guidelines (www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html) to prepare their papers. Papers should be submitted through EDAS (http://www.edas.info) according to the following schedule: •Manuscript submission: May 1, 2013 •Notification: October 1, 2013 •First revision due:November 1, 2013 •Final notification:December 1, 2013 •Final manuscript due: January 1, 2014 •Publication date: 2nd Quarter, 2014 Guest Editors •Dr. Chonggang Wang, InterDigital Communications, USA (cgwang(a)ieee.org) •Professor Jiangzhou Wang, University of Kent, UK (j.z.wang(a)kent.ac.uk) •Dr. George Chrisikos, Qualcomm Inc., USA (gchrisikos(a)ieee.org) •Dr. Yoshihisa Kishiyama, NTT DOCOMO, INC., Japan (kishiyama(a)nttdocomo.com) •Professor Roger Cheng, Hong Kong Univ. of Sci. and Tech., Hong Kong (eecheng(a)ust.hk) •Professor Zhisheng Niu, Tsinghua University, China (niuzhs(a)tsinghua.edu.cn) •Professor Kun Yang, University of Essex, UK (kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example wireless communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, business and services models, user experiences and web applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the conference. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Alpine Expedition, we now offer ExtremeCom 2013 – The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano region Iceland. The conference will start with 3-4 days of hiking in the volcanic landscape of Iceland, leading up to the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. Along the way, participants will get to see and experience breathtaking views over a harsh landscape and understand the challenges involved in networking in this region. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the hike, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: ·Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of mobile communication systems ·Real deployments of networks in extreme environments ·Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments ·User experience research ·Delay tolerant networking ·Mesh networks and sensor networks ·Low-power and intermittent-power protocols ·Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications ·Distributed computing for mobile environments ·Networked applications and services ·Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking ·Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications ·Mining and modeling of mobility and social network Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first. ***************************************************************************** Organizers --------------- General and TPC co-chairs: Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong/Telekom Innovation Laboratories, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Local arrangement committee: Ólafur Helgason, Iceland Publicity chair: Aline Carneiro Viana, INRIA, France Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Ken Banks, Kiwanja.net, South Africa Yahel Ben-David, University of California - Berkeley, USA Gary Chan, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Elwyn Davies, Folly Consulting, UK Marcelo Dias de Amorim, CNRS, France Michael Doering, Bosch Research, Germany Avri Doria, Independent Research Consultant, USA Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Marco Fiore, INSA Lyon/INRIA, France Roy Friedman, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel Bo Han, AT&T Research, USA Luigi Iannone, Telecom ParisTech, France Christine Julien, University of Texas at Austin, USA Gunnar Karlsson, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden HengChang Liu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA James Kwok, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Kyunghan Lee, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Korea Franck Legendre, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Yong Li, Tsinghua University, China Alessandro Mei, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy Jörg Ott, Aalto University, Finland Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Independent Research Consultant, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong/Telekom Innovation Laboratories, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden ***************************************************************************** _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
