INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom 2012) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [cfp]IEEE Power and QoS Aware Computing( PQoSCOM 2012) Workshop co-located with IEEE Cluster2012,Beijing,China,Sep.24, 2012 Datum: Tue, 22 May 2012 00:40:09 +0800 Von: root <root(a)cloud.hdu.edu.cn> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers of IEEE PQoSCOM2012 WORKSHOP. co-located with IEEE Cluster 2012 September 24, 2012, Beijing North Star Continental Grand Hotel,Beijing, China http://cloud.hdu.edu.cn/PQoSCom/ Important Dates: Workshop Paper Due: June 3rd, 2012 Author Notification: June 30th, 2012 Camera-ready Paper Due: July 15th, 2012 Special Issues: All the accepted papers in this workshop will be published in the IEEE Cluster 2012 Proceedings and indexed by EI. Extensions of selected papers in this workshop will be published in the special issues of the following SCI journals: Elsevier Future Generation Computer System(SCI I.F./2.365) Information Systems Frontiers(Springer, SCI I.F./1.596) Description Power is becoming a critical resource to not only mobile, wireless, and battery-powered devices, but also large-scale server systems and data centers. Lower power consumption can significantly extend the usage time of battery-powered devices or reduce heat-related malfunctions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for enterprise server systems and data centers. However, existing solutions for power aware computing mostly focus on the power reduction of the targeted computing systems at the sacrifice of QoS (Quality of Service) performance. Due to the high-density of service consolidation and development of new applications and the increasing number of users with heterogeneous requests, providing users with QoS guarantees while executing applications and saving power consumption has become a crucial problem that needs to be addressed for various computing systems. Moreover, with active deployment of multi-core and many-core architecture, virtualization and the emerging cloud comp! uting infrastructure, power and QoS constraints raise more challenges and have negative impacts on system performance. Hence, various aspects of power and QoS aware related solutions, such as algorithms design, performance evaluation and analysis, and prototypical implementation are required to make the computing system more power efficient with little loss of QoS performance. This workshop focuses on the challenges imposed by power and QoS constraints on computing systems, and on the different state-of-the-art solutions proposed to overcome these challenges. 2012 International Workshop on Power and QoS Aware Computing (PQoSCom2012) is a forum for professionals involved in energy efficiency and QoS constraints in parallel and distributed computing systems and data center operations and management. The goal of this workshop is to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of power aware and QoS constrained computing and bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. We believe that power and QoS aware computing will benefit from close interaction between researchers and industry practitioners, so that the research can inform current deployments and deployment challenges can inform new research. In support of this, PQoSCom 2012 will provide a forum for both academics and industry practitioners to share their ideas and experiences, discuss challenges and recent advances, introduce developments and tools, identify open issues, present applications and enhancements for power and QoS aware computi! ng systems and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research, leverage each other's perspectives, and identify new/emerging trends in this important area. We therefore cordially invite contributions that investigate these issues, introduce new execution environments, apply performance evaluations and show the applicability to science and enterprise applications. We welcome various different kinds of papers that could formalize, simplify and optimize all the aspects of existing large scale computing systems and applications in science, engineering and business. We particularly encourage the submission of position papers that describe novel research directions and work that is in its formative stages, and papers about practical experiences and lessons learned from production systems. Papers of applied research, industrial experience reports, work-in-progress and vision papers with different criteria for each category that describe recent advances and efforts in the design and development of power and QoS aware computing, functionalities and capabilities that will benefit many applications are also solicited. List of topics Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: Novel Power-aware Architectures for Various Kind of Computing Systems Power and QoS Optimization Power and QoS Tradeoff Modeling and Simulation Power and QoS Performance Evaluation Power and QoS Aware Scheduling Power and QoS Aware Load Balancing QoS Specification, Formulation, Quantification and Verification Instrumentation, Profiling, and Measuring of Power Consumption Power and QoS awareness and Management at All Levels Virtualization Multi/Many Core Grid/Cluster/Cloud/Mobile/ Embedded Computing Power-aware Real Time Systems Power Reduction Algorithms & Applications Survey/Reviews of Power and QoS Challenges of Modern Computing Systems Power Efficiency and Thermal Management in Data Centers Power and QoS Aware Storage and File Systems Fault Tolerance, Reliability, and Availability Green Data Intensive Computing Performance Engineering, Benchmark Design, and Run-time Power-QoS management Important dates Paper Submission: May/20/2012 Notification of Acceptance: Jun/15/2012 Final Version of the Paper: Jul/7/2012 Submission Instructions Please submit full papers in PDF or doc format via the submission system.

Workshop on Practical Issues and Applications in Next Generation Wireless Networks (PINGEN) Datum: Mon, 21 May 2012 02:18:39 -0500 Von: M. Can Vuran <mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies] International Workshop on Practical Issues and Applications in Next Generation Wireless Networks (PINGEN) in conjunction with ACM MOBICOM 2012, Istanbul, Turkey, August 26, 2012 http://avealabs.com/pingen2012 Scope: In recent years, there is growing demand for data traffic on next generation wireless networks due to the proliferation of data hungry applications (e.g. streaming video, interactive traffic flows, etc) and emergence of smart terminal devices and their applications, such as smart grids, mobile cloud services, advanced healthcare systems, intelligent transportation systems. On the other hand, need for ubiquitous computing and high mobility support also become evident as users are more and more asking for “any-time any-where” connectivity. Hence, an important challenge for telecom vendors and operators is devising and deploying cost-effective yet high capacity infrastructures, which support also large coverage and high mobility. Such a challenge puts forward an ever enlarging set of problems, both on intra-technology as well as inter-technology domains, putting integration challenges also in the picture. This workshop focuses on design and deployment issues of next generation wireless infrastructures, potentially made up of heterogeneous access technologies, supporting a wide range of applications and user needs in a coherent and unified manner. This workshop will bring together people from different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia in all aspects of next generation wireless networks. Subjects of interests include, but are not limited to: - Heterogeneous network (HetNets) deployment strategies - Business models, network management and offloading strategies for user-deployed infrastructure - Distributed algorithms and protocols for policy control in heterogeneous communication technologies - Energy-efficient network architectures and protocols, resource management techniques - System Architectures and Applications for Smart Grid - Smart Grid Communication Networks and System Simulators - Experiences from real-world wireless network deployment, test-bed and field trials - Innovative mobile application frameworks for seamless integration - Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications and technologies in heterogeneous networks - Coverage and capacity issues in future wireless cellular networks - Mobile cloud service models for high mobility - Data mining and large-scale mobile data management techniques in facilitating heterogeneous access - QoS (Quality-of-Service), scalability and reliability issues in heterogeneous networks - Unified security, trust and privacy issues Submission: For submission instructions please visit workshop site at http://avealabs.com/pingen2012 Important dates: - Paper Submission Deadline: May 27th, 2012 - Notification of Acceptance: June 18th, 2012 - Camera Ready Paper and Registration Due: July 2nd, 2012 Workshop Chairs: Dr. Salih Ergüt (AveaLabs) (salih.ergut(a)avea.com.tr) Prof. Raghupathy Sivakumar (Georgia Institute of Technology) (siva(a)ece.gatech.edu) Program Chairs: Dr. Çagri Güngör (Bahçesehir University) (cagri.gungor(a)bahcesehir.edu.tr) Dr. Zhu Han (University of Houston) (zhan2(a)mail.uh.edu) Dr. Zafer Sahinoglu (Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories) (zafer(a)merl.com) Dr. Hamed Mohsenian-Rad (Texas Tech University) (hamed.mohsenian-rad(a)ttu.edu) Publicity Chair: Dr. Can Vuran (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) (mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu) -- -- M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP Special Issue on Machine-to-Machine Communications - Deadline: June 4, 2012 Datum: Fri, 18 May 2012 09:00:26 +0200 Von: Carles Anton-Haro <carles.anton(a)cttc.es> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ************************************************* * Our apologies for multiple and cross-postings * ************************************************* Call for Papers Special Issue on Machine-to-Machine: An Emerging Communication Paradigm Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) (formerly known as European Transactions on Telecommunications) http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%292161-3915 ----- !! Manuscripts due : June 4, 2012 !! ----- ----- !! Publication date : Q1/2013 !! ----- Aim and Scope: -------------- In recent years, the number of networked machines and/or devices, such as those encountered in automatic meter readers, vending machines, or in remote monitoring applications; has dramatically increased. As a result, we have witnessed the emergence of the so-called paradigm of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. M2M devices are often characterized by very modest data rates, low mobility and stringent cost requirements, along with the need to communicate over a wide area. Besides, in the coming years, M2M devices are expected to significantly outnumber voice and (often bandwidth-hungry) data terminals. All this entails a major re-design of future cellular networks, which were originally conceived with human-to-human communications in mind. This opens a wide research area for future M2M communications, including investigations on scalability, wide-area coverage, energy-efficiency, spectral-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, security and inter-networking architectures. To this end, the European Telecommunication Standards Institute's M2M Technical Committee has proposed a hybrid architecture whereby cellular-enabled gateways act as traffic aggregation and protocol translation points for their capillary (i.e. wireless sensor) networks. Capillary networks, in turn, are composed of a potentially high number of devices (namely, sensors and actuators) equipped with short-range radio interfaces, often compliant IEEE802.15.4-related standards. Current standardization activities in 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) encompass a number of optimizations specifically addressing machine-type communication needs. Moreover, IPSO (IP for Smart Objects) is assembling a protocol stack from standards being finalized at the IEEE and IETF. This special issue aims at gathering recent advances in the areas of advanced M2M communication systems, and technologies, with the perspective of current M2M-related standardization activities in 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, IETF and IPSO. Topics of Interest: ------------------- The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - Scalable system architecture and components - Channel and traffic modeling and methodology - Optimization of radio access technologies and protocols for M2M communications - Interworking and routing protocols for M2M networks - Device and mobility management - Data aggregation techniques and architectures for massive M2M networks - Low-latency and energy-efficient communication protocols - Energy-harvesting techniques for M2M devices - Security, trust, reliability and privacy of M2M devices and services - New M2M applications, services, and business models - Emulation, test-beds, and field trials - Regulatory issues Submission instructions: ------------------------ The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines which can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1541-8251/homepage/For….

"Kravets, Robin Hillary" <rhk(a)ILLINOIS.EDU> schrieb: Thanks rhk [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for ACM CHANTS 2012 The 7th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks Co-located with ACM MobiCom 2012 August 22rd 2012, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.cambridgeplus.net/CHANTS2012/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE In the face of complex and dynamic networking capabilities, networked applications need to operate in very challenging environments. These challenges stem from high delay, such as inter-planetary networks, limited power, such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, new communication environments, such as underwater networks, communication in settings that lack infrastructure, such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields, or simply environments where it is difficult or expensive to use the existing infrastructure, social and vehicular networks. Essentially, challenged networks are found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is non-existent, restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. After the success of the previous Workshop on Delay-tolerant Networking (WDTN-05) and the Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS'06), CHANTS'07, CHANTS'08, CHANTS'09, CHANTS'10 and CHANTS'11, this year CHANTS will take place jointly with ACM MobiCom 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey. While users strive to communicate in these challenged environments, traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide effective support. Given the expectation of intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions, the goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement communication that expect and so operate effectively in this diverse range of conditions. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results in the field of challenged networks. The workshop solicits papers and demos addressing the following topics: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and mobile social networking, vehicular networks) * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life 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. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Full paper submission guidelines All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages with 10 point font and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). Demo proposals submission guidelines Real-world data gathering and measurement are at the heart of large-scale human mobility data collection, processing, and modeling. Technical demonstrations showing innovative and original practical solutions in the above mentioned topics are solicited, showing working prototypes stimulating discussion among the attendees. Demo proposals should be submitted following the exact same guidelines of full papers, except for the page limit that is fixed to 2 (two) pages. Accepted proposals will be included in the proceedings. Important dates Full paper abstract registration deadline: May 27, 2012 Submission deadline: June 3, 2012 Authors notification: June 25, 2012 Camera-ready: July 2, 2012 Early conference registration deadline: July 2, 2012 Workshop date: August 22, 2012 Demo submission deadline: July 1.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: EWSDN 2012 Datum: Tue, 15 May 2012 18:30:07 +0200 Von: Stefano Salsano <stefano.salsano(a)uniroma2.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu European Workshop on Software Defined Networks (EWSDN-2012) http://ewsdn.eu The European Workshop on Software Defined Networks will be held on October 25-26, 2012 in Deutsche Telekom Campus, Darmstadt, Germany (15 minutes from Frankfurt Airport) *SDN* Software Defined Networking (SDN) is emerging as a promising architectural solution to support and foster innovation in telecommunication networks. Several switch/router vendors are “opening” their hardware, offering APIs to allow a “software defined” control of the networking operations. The vitality of the SDN approach is witnessed by the release of several SDN tools and development environments, most of which are open sourced. *OpenFlow* The OpenFlow specifications, now standardized by the Open Networking Foundation, can represent a key component in a SDN architecture, but the SDN scope and concept is much wider than the OpenFlow APIs. In particular there is the need of higher level SDN abstractions and higher level SDN APIs, as the ones that should be offered to applications (e.g. SDN “north-bound” interfaces). *European* What makes an SDN workshop “European”? Traditional strengths of European research and development have been in optical transmission and wireless, especially cellular networks. The workshop emphasizes aspects of Software Defined Networks that come up when extending SDN 'beyond Ethernet'. In this regard, “European” does not mean that we restrict to a geographic scope, we welcome contribution and participation from all over the world. *Motivation* One goal of the workshop is to bring together industry and academia on the topics of SDN, in particular the workshop will feature an “industry forum”, i.e. a session with presentations of key industrial players (manufacturers, telecom operators…). A special session will include presentation and discussion of the highest ranked proposals to the 2nd open call of the OFELIA project (http://www.fp7-ofelia.eu/open-calls/2nd-open-call/). *Contributions to the workshop* We are interested in both papers showing consolidated results and in position papers bringing up innovative ideas. We welcome contributions including, but not limited to, the following topics: - Optical extensions to OpenFlow, SDN - Wireless integration, characterization of wireless interfaces, flows, handover support - Evolved packet core, LTE support for OpenFlow - New controller architectures, Application Programmer's Interfaces, SDN “north-bound” interfaces - Higher level SDN abstractions, APIs, object models - New networking paradigms like Content or Information Centric Networks (CCN/ICN) and their relation with SDN - Carrier-grade SDN architectures and equipment - Network Virtualization techniques based on SDN - Practical experiments on OpenFlow / SDN based testbeds - Identification of use cases for SDN, SDN related business models - SDN frameworks and tools, SDN based equipment: controllers, switches, integrated development environment, testing and debugging environment *Workshop Proceedings* The EWSDN Workshop proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore. *Important dates* Deadline for Call for Papers (up to 6 pages, double column 10pt font): June 20th, 2012 Acceptance notification: July 31st, 2012 Camera ready: September 5th, 2012 *Paper submission* EWSDN submission will be managed using the EasyChair submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ewsdn12 *Workshop registration and hotel rooms* The registration cost for the two-day workshop is 200€, including electronic proceedings, one dinner, two lunches, coffee breaks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Optimized Resource management - special session at CAMAD 2012 - deadline extension Datum: Tue, 15 May 2012 13:59:14 +0300 Von: Elias Tragos <etragos(a)ics.forth.gr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Resource Management Optimization for Heterogeneous Next Generation Wireless Access Networks http://camad2012.av.it.pt/ss_RMOHNGWAN.html Next generation communications will be composed of flexible, multi-tier, and scalable architectures. High user mobility and dynamic management policies that ensure end-to-end reliable and secure support of new services are key towards the adoption of the enabling technologies. In wireless networks, the medium alone creates additional challenges for efficiently providing QoS, due to its broadcast nature and uncertainty. Meanwhile, the proliferation of new services in the mobile market is driving the QoS requirements higher (in terms of performance indicators such as throughput, delay, jitter, error rate, network coverage etc). Thus, an important challenge in future wireless communications is how to design and run a cost efficient network in order to optimize the key performance indicators that will support the user requirements. Resource management and planning are sets of key mechanisms that enable the efficient and effective operation of wireless networks, aiming to minimize the impact of interference and maximize the overall network performance. For next generation networks, where multiple heterogeneous networks (both in terms of network elements and in term of access technologies) will co-exist in the same geographical area, these mechanisms will be of key importance not only for a single network operation but for the smooth network cooperation, the optimal use of wireless spectrum and the provision of high quality services to the users. Taking into account the requirements, applications, and users, the developed mechanisms should be optimized in terms of performance, scalability, robustness, flexibility and energy efficiency. The purpose of this session is to bring together researchers focusing on resource management and optimization within the context of heterogeneous wireless networking. Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished works on the following research topics, but not limited to: · Access network architectures and protocols optimization towards next generation wireless networks · Resource management mechanisms for future heterogeneous networks · Network planning · Context and location awareness · Future wireless services and applications · Quality of service in future heterogeneous networks · Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access · Reliable and optimized spectrum sharing in next generation networks · Performance modeling of future networks · Scalability, robustness and resilience · Security, privacy and trust in next generation dynamic spectrum access networks · Cross-layer design and optimization · Co-existence issues of future heterogeneous networks · Heterogeneous network simulation models and techniques Organizing Committee Dr. Vangelis Angelakis Linkoping University, Sweden vangelis.angelakis(at)liu.se Dr. Ioannis Askoxylakis Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece asko(at)ics.forth.gr Dr. Elias Tragos Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece etragos(at)ics.forth.gr Dr. Di Yuan Ranplan Wireless Network Design Ltd, UK di.yuan(at)ranplan.co.uk Important dates Paper submission deadline: June 1st, 2012 Acceptance notification: July 10th, 2012 Camera-ready: August15th, 2012 Technical Program Committee members: Vangelis Angelakis, Linkoping University, Sweden – co-chair Ioannis Askoxylakis, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece – co-chair Kaan Bür - Lund University, Sweden Scott Fowler, Linkoping University, Sweden Alexandros Fragkiadakis, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece George Karetsos, Technological research Center of Thessalia, Greece Albena Mihovska, Aalborg University, Denmark Stefanos Papadakis, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece Nikolaos Petroulakis, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece Michal Pioro, EIT, Lund University, Sweden Vasilios Siris, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Elias Tragos, ICS, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece – co-chair Panagiotis Vlacheas, University of Piraeus, Greece Di Yuan, Ranplan, UK – co-chair Sherali Zeadally, University of the District of Columbia, USA _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

These challenges stem from high delay, such as inter-planetary networks, limited power, such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, new communication environments, such as underwater networks, communication in settings that lack infrastructure, such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields, or simply environments where it is difficult or expensive to use the existing infrastructure, social and vehicular networks. Essentially, challenged networks are found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is non-existent, restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. While users strive to communicate in these challenged environments, traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide effective support. Given the expectation of intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions, the goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement communication that expect and so operate effectively in this diverse range of conditions. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and mobile social networking, vehicular networks) * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life 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. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. BEST PAPERS: Google will sponsor up to two best-paper awards to honor the author(s) of papers of exceptional quality submitted to the CHANTS 2012 workshop.

The workshop will be co-located with the 10th USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI '12), which will be held October 8–10, 2012, in Hollywood, CA. HotDep '12 will bring forth cutting-edge research ideas spanning the domains of systems and fault tolerance/reliability, drawing from the two associated research communities (i.e., researchers who attend traditional "dependability" conferences such as DSN and ISSRE, and those who attend "systems" conferences such as OSDI, SOSP, and EuroSys). The workshop will build links between the two communities and serve as a forum for sharing ideas and challenges. HotDep has been alternating between DSN and OSDI since 2005; for previous HotDep workshops, see http://www.hotdep.org/. Paper Scope and Topics Possible topics include but are not limited to: Dependability in large-scale systems, despite either crash or Byzantine failures Dependability in emerging platforms, such as handheld, datacenters, or cloud computing Dependability in the software stack, including operating systems, network protocols, runtime systems, etc. Fault and intrusion tolerance, self-healing systems, and continuous operation throughout recovery Techniques for better detection, diagnosis, or recovery from failures Forensic tools for use by administrators and programmers after failure or attack Tools/concepts/techniques/metrics for quantifying or optimizing trade-offs among dependability, availability, performance, correctness, resource utilization, and security Authors should consider that the workshop aims to improve interactions among researchers from the dependability and systems communities, and thus the review process favors papers that are likely to generate healthy debate. Example submissions include but are not limited to: Innovative techniques, algorithms, or protocols for building dependable/secure systems Reconsideration of existing problems using novel approaches with demonstrable benefits Description of an emerging problem and potential solutions Refuting old, entrenched perspectives on dependability Advocacy, critical or controversial papers if based on a technical foundation Deadline and Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit position papers by 11:59 p.m. PST on June 11, 2012.
