-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final Call - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Elsevier Special Issue: Wireless Networks Intrusion (30 Nov. 2012) Datum: Thu, 22 Nov 2012 20:27:50 +0800 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies, for multiple copies of the CFP]* Call for Papers * *Journal of Computer and System Sciences, Elsevier (Impact Factor: 1.157) Special Issue on Wireless Networks Intrusion *http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-computer-and-system-sciences/* * *Overview: * The security mechanisms for various wired networks are more or less well-defined. Especially when intrusion detection and prevention techniques are considered, wired networks appear to be in a much better status than their wireless counterparts. Indeed, security concerns are, still, a significant impediment to widespread adoption of wireless networktechnologies. Because of the use of wireless communications technology, structure of the wireless networks, limited resources available on wireless devices, and open nature of wirelesscommunications, employing an effective and efficient intrusion detection and prevention system for detecting and thwarting malicious attacks against wireless communication still remains a great challenge to researchers. On the other side, recent increase in the interest in anywhere, anytime, anybody’s network with the aid of wirelessself-organizing networks has made the demand of effective intrusion detection and prevention techniques even more critical. We consider four types of wireless networks under wireless self-organizing networks (SON) category: Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Wireless Mesh Network(WMN), and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET). The status quo of these networks lacks standardized mechanisms for intrusion detection and prevention. In particular for WSN, with limited resources of the involved tiny sensor nodes, employing such defensive and/or preventive mechanisms is, indeed, a tough challenge. If the system is distributed, the nodes may not be able to run the system; if centralized and controlled by the base station, the system may not serve the actual purpose of intrusion handling within the actual deployed network. We are interested, in this Special Issue, to put together the latest advancements in these related areas and to get the thoughts of the researchers, practitioners, and users of these technologies. The articles could be from the theory and/or practical perspectives. Extensive review articles on specific topics are most welcome. The articles are expected to touch up on any of the four types of SONs, namely MANET, WSN, WMN, and VANET. The targeted topics for this special issue are (though the list should not be considered exhaustive): - Intrusion detection schemes - Intrusion prevention schemes - Tracing back mobile attackers - Secure routing with intrusion prevention - Access control - Authentication mechanisms - Resource efficient intrusion detection & prevention - Anomaly detection - Specification based detection - Misuse detection - Intrusion detection vs Intrusion prevention - Artificial Intelligence (AI) based techniques - Game theory based techniques - Physical intrusion in WSN - Cross-layer based intrusion detection - Agent based intrusion surveillance, detection and prevention *Important Dates: * Manuscript due date: November 30, 2012 First round review notification: February 30, 2013 Revised paper due: April 30, 2013 Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 25, 2013 Submission of final manuscript: May 15, 2013 *Submission Guidelines and Review Process: * All papers should be submitted via email to the corresponding editor at sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com (with a CC to sakib(a)iium.edu.my).

Conference on Communications (ICC'13) Budapest, Hungary, June 9-13, 2013. http://e2nets.org/ *********************************************************************** Important Dates *************** Abstract Registration: January 4, 2013 Paper Submission Deadline: January 11, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 22, 2013 Camera-Ready Submission: March 8, 2013 Scope ***** The two seemingly distinct topics of E2Nets are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to a GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. E2 network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Topics ****** In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency * Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency * Energy-efficiency measures * Energy-efficient flooding/multicast * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency * Algorithms for energy efficient scheduling and resource management * Energy harvesting * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns to reduce energy expenditure * Hybrid fiber-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals * Energy efficient ad hoc network services * Energy efficient wireless sensor networks and their applications * Energy efficient Service discovery and Service Provisioning * Energy efficient algorithms and implementations in Internet of Things and Future Internet To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, this workshop considers the following topics on wireless networks for energy efficiency: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems, including transportation, houses, buildings, industrial processes, and smart cities. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications, * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy efficient virtualization of resources * Energy efficient radio resource management * Energy efficient home automation and energy monitoring * Applications to Smart grids Tentative Committee ******************* General Chair * Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada * Ignas Niemegeers, WMC, TU Delft, The Netherlands TPC Chairs * R.

Fwd: [MM-INTEREST] CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Datum: Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:24:01 +0100 Von: Valerio Arnaboldi <valerio.arnaboldi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Valerio Arnaboldi <valerio.arnaboldi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG *** Our Sincere Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier - Computer Communications Journal Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Submission Deadline: February 10, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The widespread availability of mobile portable devices enriched with a variety of sensing capabilities, coupled with the impelling need of communication anytime and anywhere, has rapidly raised the interest towards new approaches to communications between users. Opportunistic networks are an instance of the delay tolerant paradigm applied to networks made up of users' portable devices (such as smartphones and tablets). As such, they are able to cope with challenged network conditions that are often present in real life, such as high node mobility, variable connectivity, and disconnections, which would impair communications in traditional Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. In this scenario, user mobility becomes one of the main drivers to enable message delivery. In fact, according to the store-carry-and-forward paradigm, user devices store messages and carry them around while they move in the network, exchanging them upon encounter with other nodes, and eventually delivering them to their destination or to interested users. This new communication paradigm enables legacy applications in challenged scenarios, as well as it paves the way to innovative solutions. While opportunistic networks initially received attention to support communication where an infrastructure is not available (for disaster recovery or in rural areas), nowadays a number of applications can be envisaged ranging from content sharing, through mobile social networking, to participatory and urban sensing. All these applications rely on data forwarding amongst devices. As a consequence, two aspects become relevant, that is, the need for mechanisms guaranteeing trusted and secure communications while preserving users' privacy (in the absence of infrastructure and sometimes even end-to-end connectivity), and incentive mechanisms able to boost the participation in the network. This Special Issue of Computer Communications seeks contributions pushing the state of the art in Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Mobility measurements and models, mobility trace analysis - Measurements, models, and analysis for user behaviors on mobile devices - Unicast and multicast routing - Transport, congestion control, and reliability issues - Content dissemination, content caching, service composition, opportunistic computing - Trust, security & privacy in opportunistic forwarding, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems, and key management - Application support and middleware for opportunistic networks - New applications and services relying on opportunistic networking - Systems and experience for real-world deployments Schedule -------- Submission deadline: February 10, 2013 Author notification: May 24, 2013 Revised paper due: June 30, 2013 Final author notification: September 16, 2013 Publication: TBD Guest Editors ------------- Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Kyunghan Lee, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Korea Melek Onen, EURECOM, France Joerg Ott, Aalto University, Finland Elena Pagani, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy Instructions for submission --------------------------- Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. In this case, authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP 2nd IEEE Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’13) at IEEE ICC 2013

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> Gesendet: Fri Nov 16 17:47:08 MEZ 2012 An: "tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu" <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Betreff: [Tccc] CFP 2nd IEEE Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’13) at IEEE ICC 2013 *Call for Papers** *2nd IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’13) Held in conjunction with IEEE ICC 2013, Budapest, Hungary *Goals and Topics** *Healthcare providers from around the globe are currently faced with significant challenges due to an exponential rise in costs, increased demand for services, and limited access to financial and human resources. This is directly linked to the fact that people are living longer with an expected 761 million of us being over the age of 65 by 2025. This will increase the risk of chronic disease and other co-morbidities amongst the elderly and estimates suggest that treating this particular group of people currently accounts for 78% of all healthcare expenditure (over a trillion US dollars per year) with spending expected to be $4.3 trillion in 2018 compared to $27.5 billion in 1960. Whilst increasing life expectancy is at an all-time high, it has become difficult to sustain. One suggestion is that quality of life and life expectancy can be increased through healthy aging and lifestyle choices. Positive behavioural changes will empower people and support the prevention of acute episodes, including the provision of provide better services that are tailored to people’s healthcare needs. This presents a unique opportunity were the use of information and communications technology could be used to support the delivery and management of healthcare services. Building on advances in Smartphone technologies and wireless communications it is possible to bridge the gap between people and medical facilities and transform healthcare services and clinical intervention within the community. These technologies, as well as allowing us to make a phone call, text a friend, or update our social networking site, provide access to vital data about a person that can be collected and analysed to support research, medical and healthcare education, and clinical practice with less reliance on secondary care (hospital admissions). Empowering people in the community, particularly the aging population, allows them to evaluate lifestyle choices and to take control of their own healthcare needs. Diseases, such as diabetes and obesity are often caused by an accumulation of unmonitored health-related choices, such as poor nutrition and lack of exercise, which occur over decades rather than weeks or months. Smartphones, body sensors, and wireless communications provide the necessary tools to host community healthcare services and applications capable of real-time monitoring and analysis of lifestyle choices. Using digital diaries, social networking, SMS, amongst other technologies, makes it possible to manage adherence and provide education about relevant medical conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, sexual health, poor nutrition and the lack of exercise. All this will have the ability to empower people and encourage personal consumer healthcare beyond what is currently possible. Nonetheless, due to the criticality of healthcare and the complex coordination and delivery of healthcare services it is not surprising that we have not seen widespread adoption of mobile ICT in health. The healthcare domain is sensitive to change and this will require new processes, methodologies and tools, and this comes at a time when sustainable health is becoming increasingly more difficult. From a technical perspective, a number of challenges still remain and form part of the topics under this call for papers. The workshop seeks workshop proposal submissions (consisting of a paper) on all theoretical and practical aspects of mobile consumer healthcare networks, services and applications, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems on topics including, but not limited to, those shown below: • Mobile applications for elderly healthcare • Mobile applications for adherence monitoring in aggressive treatment regimens • Mobile devices for healthcare • Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps • Mobile interfaces for data Visualization • Mobile devices for patient monitoring • Ad hoc and wireless sensor systems and networks • Mobile data management and processing • Mobile and wireless technologies for healthcare applications • Radio-Frequency (RFID) wireless technology in medical devices • Wireless Identification and Services Platform (WISP) for mobile healthcare • Medical Device Control via Wireless Technology • Safe, Effective, Secure and Reliable Use of Wireless Technology in healthcare • Wearable and implantable sensors • Sensor Networks for ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare • Health specific wireless communication protocols in healthcare (WMTS, IMS, MICS) • Wireless Body Area Networks • Consumer Healthcare (cHealth) • Stream reasoning algorithms for behaviour and activity monitoring *Guidelines for 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. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript length (maximum 1 additional page with over-length page charge if accepted). http://www.ieee-icc.org/2013/submguide.html The paper should be used as the basis for a 20 - 30 minute workshop presentation.

================================================================================ 5th Workshop on Adaptive and Reconfigurable Embedded Systems ================================================================================ http://www.control.lth.se/APRES2013/ Adaptive systems can respond to environmental changes including usage conditions, hardware/software defects, resource allocation, and non-continual feature usage. As such, adaptive systems can extend the area of operations and improve efficiency in the use of system resources. However, adaptability also incurs overhead in terms of system complexity and requirements, as a result the adaptive system needs careful design and usage testing. More precisely, an adaptive system requires means for reconfiguration that allows it to adapt to changes. These means and their mechanisms introduce additional complexity to the design and the architecture, and they also require additional resources such as computation, power, and also communication bandwidth for distributed reconfiguration. Moreover, to take advantage of adaptability, new specification methods are needed, to define acceptable adaptation ranges which will be explored by the system at run-time to improve a given performance metric. However, current operating systems and network protocols are not designed to support such flexible requirements, and generally do not support complementary reflexive mechanisms that are needed to allow the application to adjust itself to the current configuration. Finally, programming such systems also needs adequate middleware layers that provide adequate interfaces for the development of adaptive applications. Building such middleware so that it preserves adaptability while providing performance guarantees together with satisfying other usual goals, such as modularity, reusability and scalability, is a challenge still to be conquered. This workshop brings together researchers in the development and use of adaptive and reconfigurable embedded systems and from the embedded systems community at large. Of particular interest are new concepts and ideas for modeling and analyzing tradeoffs of embedded and real-time systems, novel algorithms and mechanisms to realize adaptation and reconfigurability, and experience reports with practical case studies. ================================================================================ Topics ================================================================================ Any topics of interest to embedded, real-time and dependable systems research in the areas of systems, languages, software, theory, networking, control and analysis with specific focus on reconfigurability and adaptivity. ================================================================================ Important dates: ================================================================================ Paper submission: January 13, 2013 Notification of acceptance: March 4, 2013 Camera ready: March 14, 2013 Workshop: April 8, 2013

These vehicles require frequent charging, thus straining the power grid that needs to adapt to these extra loads. A smart grid needs to be able to accommodate seamlessly the extra power demand generated by such vehicles. Hence, there is a pressing need to develop novel vehicular protocols and communication networks to provide information regarding the placement of closest charging stations to the vehicles, availability of charging slots and other services offered in real time. Further, they can be employed for vehicle monitoring, for providing data for detailed usage analysis, remote management, as well as to improve reliability, and even to help decide whether vehicles should be charged at on- or off-peak times. To accomplish these tasks and in addition to monitor dynamic pricing, offer flexible billing smart devices need to be developed and integrated in the network. On the supply side, operators should optimize grid operations and offer energy efficiency programs to reduce consumption and help smooth demand. Smart grid technology would enable utility companies to efficiently manage large number of electric vehicles; such technologies would integrate sensors, advanced meters, smart transformers, automatic energy distribution, load monitoring, and intelligent energy management to minimize operational problems and maximize efficiency of the power grid Finally, there is need for infrastructure that would provide up to date maps of locations and services of charging stations, or for battery switching and swapping. For electric vehicles to become a viable large scale transportation option, a reliable, ubiquitous recharging network is needed and the associated information, communications and control infrastructure needs to be developed. The 1st IEEE Workshop on Electric Vehicle Networks for Smart Grid Applications (EVN-SGA 2013) will serve as a forum for researchers from industry and academia, standard developers, professionals, policy makers and practitioners to share their state-of-the-art research and development results. The purpose of the workshop is to foster discussion on emerging and novel approaches to integrate electric vehicles within the future smart grid, from all angles of views, including researchers, developers, manufacturers, policy regulators, funding bodies. Attendees will be able to gain a clear picture on the current status, the future and opportnuities in the field of electric vehicles and to interact with the highest experts all over the world on the subject. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, techniques and applications, best practices, awareness and experiences as well as future trends and needs, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard forums or in industry consortia.

Instead of address-oriented communication, as in the current Internet architecture, a name-oriented network architecture considers named data as first class entities and rethinks the communication model in terms of what data to fetch instead of which host to reach. This basic idea has spawned world-wide research efforts in exploring various design approaches to enable applications communicating by data names instead of host IP addresses in a scalable, secure, and efficient manner. Following the success of NOMEN 2012, the objective of this workshop is to present up-to-date research advances in the field, with an emphasis on new applications enabled by the novel paradigm and on the evaluation and deployment challenges. More specifically, we solicit contributions in (1) new applications and use cases facilitated by the name-oriented networking paradigm (for example IoT networking, enterprise networks, supporting peer-to-peer applications, health-care applications, vehicle networking, online gaming); (2) implementation, scaling and deployment challenges; and (3) methodologies for evaluating existing design choices and comparing their respective advantages. The workshop solicits submissions of original work that pertains to the design, development, evaluation, and analysis of name-oriented networks and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Business models and economic issues * Deployment challenges and test-bed experience * Methodologies for measuring and comparing system performance * New application designs and use cases * Data 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 Manuscript submissions All submissions must be original work that has not been published or submitted elsewhere. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress; papers describing significant experiments are especially encouraged. Reviews will be single-blind; please include author's name and affiliation in the submission. * Paper Submission: Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and in a pdf file (IEEE Infocom style). Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. * Poster/demo Submission: Submissions must be no greater than 2 pages in length and in a pdf file. * Panel Proposal Submission: Submissions should identify the panel chair and the complete list of panel members, with indications on whether each proposed panelist has been contact and agreed to participate.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP Workshop on Self-organising, adaptive, and context-sensitive distributed systems (SACS 2013) Datum: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:10:17 +0100 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> Please distribute to your colleagues. *************************************************************** Call for Papers EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Nov 23, 2013 Workshop on Self-organising, adaptive, and context-sensitive distributed systems (SACS 2013) in conjunction with Networked Systems (NetSys) 2013 Stuttgart, Germany, March 11-15, 2013 *************************************************************** Scope ===== Ubiquitous computing has been a strong vision of contemporary computer science for the last decade, initially with respect to its potential for innovative services, but then also considering socio-technical implications. From a technical point of view the management of highly complex, heterogeneous and distributed systems still raises many interesting questions. Self-organisation, autonomous behaviour, and adaptation are important concerns, and the numerous theoretical and prototypical approaches to these challenges still have to prove their value in everyday applications. However, the conception and realisation of these autonomous, adaptive systems cannot be constrained to technical challenges only. How about the usability of such context-aware, adaptive applications outside of the research labs in our real environment? Will they provide new chances for improving life quality in various societal environments? Do we have to put a special focus on societal and also legal implications when these systems are deployed on a broad scale? How do we ensure trust in a complex system that is working outside of our direct influence? SACS 2013 is the first international edition of the successful, previously national workshop series SAKS that started in 2006. The workshop is intentionally directed at a multidisciplinary audience. It will shed light on the wide field of technical, societal, and legal considerations that need to be part of a comprehensive analysis of the state-of-the-art of information technology research in complex, autonomous systems. Whereas the preceding SAKS workshops were mainly intended to provide a forum for German national research activities, we expect this workshop to play a significant part in linking together contributors on an international scale. We especially welcome research papers, reports, and discussion contributions from industry. The workshop program will consist of the presentations of the selected peer reviewed contributions, an invited talk, and a discussion session. Workshop Topics =============== The following list specifies the major fields of interest for this workshop; related topics are certainly welcome. ==== Self-organisation and adaptation from a technical view ==== * Construction and evaluation of self-organising systems * Biologically inspired approaches * Architectures and frameworks for autonomous and ubiquitous systems * Self-organisation in service-oriented architectures * Adaptive applications and middleware * Context models and context processing * Collective sensing, collective awareness, collective intelligence * Design methodologies for personalised, context-sensitive services * Integration of users into the development process for autonomous systems * User-centric design, user interfaces, and usage patterns ==== Social and legal implications in a world of adaptive IT ==== * Trust and reliability for adaptive, context sensitive systems * Society-aware design of adaptive, context sensitive systems * Application domain-specific requirements * Responsibility and liability ==== Self-organisation and adaptation as enabling technologies ==== * Industrial requirements and projects * Research prototypes and experience reports * New value chains, new business / service / provider models Contributions submitted to the workshop will be peer-reviewed and selected according to their quality and suitability for the workshop scope and discussion potential. As we address an international audience, English will be the workshop language.

Call for papers: International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems
by Vincenzo De Florio 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Dear Sirs, dear Madams, please find attached the new description, mission, and call for papers of IJARAS, the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems, established in 2010 and about to issue its fourth yearly volume. For any questions about IJARAS and its Advanced Book Series please contact me through vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio Description The International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) examines systems and organizations characterized by the following two properties: the ability to self-adapt to the characteristics of rapidly changing and turbulent environments by adopting complex individual and social strategies and the ability to control their changes to prevent the invalidation of their original mission statements. The central focus of IJARAS is on modeling, simulating, designing, developing, maintaining, evaluating, and benchmarking such “entelechial systems”. Perception, awareness, and the planning and execution of resilient adaptation behaviors in systems and organizations are central topics of the journal. Such systems range from individual and simple embedded systems with limited perception and predefined specialized behaviors to complex hybrid social organizations like cyber-physical societies or service-oriented communities, whose emerging behaviors are many and, in some cases, difficult to predict. IJARAS focuses on the full spectrum of these problems providing academicians, practitioners, and researchers with awareness and insight on conceptual models, applied and theoretical approaches, paradigms, and other technological innovations on self-adaptive and/or self-resilient systems and organizations of any scale and nature. Mission Society is currently experiencing the increasing population of “things,” able to autonomously link with each other and enact complex strategies to achieve tasks. The emergence of the Semantic Web, the Internet-of-Things, Ambient Intelligence, and cyber-physical societies make it impossible to capture the intricacies of the future highly dynamic and turbulent networks of interrelated computer-based and hybrid components. As such, it is important that systems are designed to self-adapt to changes without diverging from their intended functions as prescribed in their specifications. The mission of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) is to offer awareness and visibility to novel techniques and methods to achieve self-adaptability and self-resilience when systems and organizations are deployed in environments where change is the rule rather than the exception. IJARAS is also a tool to enhance the awareness of the key role played by said techniques and methods: engineering self-adaptive and self-resilient systems and organizations is an urgent necessity to keep society resilient in the face of the technology that sustains it. The journal pursues its mission by addressing researchers, practitioners, engineers, educators, and professionals and by publishing novel results on each of the diverse components of such a complex and multi-disciplinary research problem. Topics Covered Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: - Adaptive data integrity - Adaptive fault-tolerance - Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system’s ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments - Architecture-based adaptation - Autonomic applications - Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics - Biologically inspired mechanisms to enact complex adaptation strategies - Collective strategies for adaptation and resilience, including cooperation, competition, co-opetition, co-innovation, and co-evolution - Complex adaptive-and-resilient systems and organizations - Context- and situation-awareness - Design-time/run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security - Dynamics of complex adaptive and resilient systems and organizations - Human aspects - Evolutionary approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems - Mechanisms to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic, and resilient systems - Methods to express resilience (e.g., resilience policies and contracts) - Perception and introspection capabilities - Personalization - Quality of experience - Recovery-oriented computing - Resilient adaptation behavior composition - Resilient adaptation planning - Resilience and adaptation in management science - Resilience engineering - Role of diversity in the emergence of survivability, innovability, value capture, etc. - Role of organizations on the emergence of adaptation and resilience: heterarchies, holarchies, fractal social organizations, etc. - Scalable, maintainable, and cost-effective provisions located at all system levels to achieve adaptability and dependability - Self-adaptive and self-resilient systems: models, design, development, maintenance, evaluation, and benchmarking issues - Software elasticity: techniques, tools, and approaches to absorb and tolerate the consequences of failures, attacks, and changes within and without system boundaries Submissions and enquiries: - To submit a paper please visit http://www.igi- global.com/authorseditors/titlesubmission/newproject.aspx or send your paper to vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be. - For enquiries please contact the editor in chief through vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be.

Emulators represent a family of tools where real and emulated components interact at various levels and scales with external element. Where simulators aim at evaluating the performance and conformity of models, emulators aim at evaluating that of real components and execution environment. The potential of emulators have been acknowledged, notably as complementary approach to field-operational test, and as a validation and integration technique (or methodology) prior to deployment. Emulators have also recently been subject to an increasing interest from practitioners in various fields of research. Yet, emulation tools have experienced only little dedicated visibility from the community to breed inter-disciplinary collaborative research and exchange of ideas in the very specific and challenging methodologies and techniques required by emulator tools or available in major emulation platforms. The workshop therefore aims at providing an interaction environment between academic and industrial researchers along with practitioners in the emulation field. EMUTools proposes to address research challenges in the emulation methodologies, architecture, analysis, applicability, performance, practice and platforms. This event also aims as building a bridge between the simulation and emulation communities to foster collaborative research to address common challenges in the complementary fields of emulation and simulation. We invite submissions of original high quality work in the area of emulation methodology, techniques, tools and applications. We would especially like to emphasize EMUTools' "Student Demo Contest". This year, we are challenging undergraduate and graduate students to show us their latest, coolest, chair-rocking and mind-blowing innovation in an operational demonstration. Go beyond the theoretical limitations and shed off the numerous assumptions about emulation techniques and applications, and present an operational prototype that has the potential to revolutionize the role of emulation tools. EMUTools general area includes but is not limited to: - Emulation methodology: architecture, distributed systems, load-balancing, multi-processor, scalability, cloud, emulation-as-a-service. - Emulation Techniques: multi-granularity, co-emulation/simulation, application, system, protocol or channel emulation. - Emulation Tools: framework, software, platforms, front-end/back-end, and interactions between different simulation and emulation tools. EMUTools invites submissions in all application areas of emulation methodology, tools and techniques. Specific topics include (but are not limited to): - Wireless technologies and access networks (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor networks) - Backbone and core network (LTE, LTE-A, Internet) - Peer-2-Peer and overlay networks - Cloud systems and networks - Parallel and distributed systems, high-performance computing systems - Infrastructure systems (transportation, smart grid) - Intelligent transportation systems - Cyber-physical systems - E-Health - Sensors and M2M networks SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------- We invite the following types of submission: - Full papers up to 10 pages - Short papers up to 6 pages for work-in-progress aspects - Poster and Demo abstracts of 3 pages for demostrations and emerging concepts of emulation platforms. Submissions should be prepared in ACM conference proceedings format and be original research that is unpublished and not currently under consideration for publication. Paper should be submitted only in .pdf format on Easychair at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=emutools2013 Further detailed submission instructions, together with format files, are available on the workshop website.
