Dear Colleagues, you are cordially invited to contribute to the following call for paper.Should you require further information please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards,Juha, Waltenegus, and Vincenzo. Advances in Software Engineering - Special Issue onSelf-* Parallel and Distributed Systems Call for papers (PDF: http://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/ase/si/479307.pdf,HTML: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/si/479307/cfp/) Autonomic computing has been identified as a promising solution to cope with the overwhelming complexity in modern and next-generation computer systems. In particular, the self-* properties (self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection) outline the fundamental features of an autonomic computing system. Parallel and distributed systems, a computing domain with great applicability in a variety of industrial and domestic contexts, rely on self-* software to manage a large number of heterogeneous computation, communication, and storage resources. The challenges of energy efficiency, dependability and security are of particular interest. This special issue addresses the software aspects of the whole design and operational process and system architecture of self-* parallel and distributed systems. We welcome studies on all forms of software, including application software and system software. The relevant scope of parallel and distributed systems widely covers, but is not limited to, embedded systems, large-scale networks, cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud-computing etc. The systems under focus should integrate software with clear and novel self-* features to be qualified for acceptance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Model-driven engineering of self-* distributed systems - Robust design of self-* parallel and distributed systems - Software design and implementation for energy-awareness - Energy-awareness in self-organizing systems such as in cluster-based systems and cloud computing - Real-time aspects, especially in conjunction with other conflicting design goals - Evolvability aspects - Resilience of autonomic distributed and parallel systems - Self-healing and protection for dependable and secure systems - Software for interoperable heterogeneous networked systems - Specification and modeling languages for self-* properties - Formal validation and verification - Software testing - Parallel and distributed debugging - Application and industrial case studies - Retrospective, Review and Future Perspectives Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/guidelines.html.

However, a battery-powered system has a finite operation time. Power supplies using energy- harvesting devices apparently open the door to unlimited and uninterrupted operation. This requires a dedicated power management that predicts available power budgets and aims at maximizing performance metrics for a given budget. Power management encompasses many facets, such as power leakage, radio duty cycle, sampling rates, harvesting efficiency, energy intake prediction, etc. WORKSHOP FORMAT AND TOPICS The focus of this workshop is to provide a platform for discussing intermediate research results and for vivid exchange of ideas. It is also intended to identify required steps and promising future research directions within scope in order to push the penetration power of energy-harvesting sensor networks one step forward. For that purpose, we particularly enencourage preliminary contributions by Ph.D. students in addition to completed work. In addition to paper presentations, there will be a poster and demo session. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Power management concepts for energy harvesting systems - Power-aware scheduling, algorithms, and operating systems - Network-wide and distributed energy management - Energy-aware network planning (e.g., routing, duty-cycle adaptation) - Scaling laws and fundamental limits - Energy and performance profiling - Online accounting of energy consumption - Energy-harvesting prototypes - Energy storage and buffers - Models of energy harvesters - Methods for energy intake prediction - Real-world deployments and field tests Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed in a blind review process. Papers will be selected according to their relation to the workshop scope, novelty, and quality of presentation. Diversity of workshop topics will also be considered. Accepted and presented papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. Extensions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of "Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks".

We apologize multiple copies. _____________________________________________ SIGCOMM 2012 - Call for Posters/Demos Helsinki, Finland, 13-17 August 2012 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/cfd.php _____________________________________________ The SIGCOMM poster/demo sessions showcase works-in-progress. The setting is informal. Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference call for papers. Although anyone can submit a poster/demo, preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students. The SIGCOMM 2012 Poster/Demo committee will review all posters and demo proposals. At the conference, a student must present student posters. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2012 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. Student Research Competition The SIGCOMM poster session will also serve as an ACM student research competition. Qualified entrants must have current ACM student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student status at the time of submission (May 2012, below), and be submitted by a single student author. Supervisors are not permitted to coauthor the poster. (Please contact the poster chairs if this restriction represents a hardship.) Undergraduates and graduate students will be treated in separate divisions. (Students starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the conference will be considered as undergraduates.) A small travel supplement is made available to accepted entrants: please also submit applications for travel grant support. The ACM SRC program is sponsored by Microsoft Research. Winners will advance to ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition to compete against the winners of other ACM conferences. Why Should You Submit a Poster? This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition, the top few submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newsletter, the ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Travel Grants for Student Posters Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants. What is a Poster? We define a poster to be A0 paper size in portrait mode (841x1189mm), to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively, you can use the space as a continuum. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. Note that you do not submit such a large-format image; only an abstract describing in text what the poster would present. What and Where to Submit Submission instructions will be available via at the SIGCOMM website at: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/ Submissions are single blind, so please include authors' names and affiliation. Content: The abstract should clearly state: * the problem being addressed; * what makes this problem interesting, important, and difficult; * your approach to the problem; * the key contribution In the final version of the abstract, you should include a URL that provides additional information about your work to the attendees. Formatting: Prepare your abstract using ACM conference style, modified to 10pt. Concretely, two columns, minimum 10pt times with 0.75 inch margins and 1/3 inch space between columns. The abstract must be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mitglieder-info] CfP Workshop zu Sensornetze und IoT Datum: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:13:26 +0100 Von: Stefan Fischer <fischer(a)itm.uni-luebeck.de> An: mitglieder-info(a)kuvs.de, ELG KUVS <elg(a)kuvs.de> --- CALL FOR PAPERS --- Sensornetze und das Internet der Dinge: Theorie und Praxis http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/alg/wsn-iot-2012/ 17. September 2012, Braunschweig Im Rahmen der 42. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft fuer Informatik e.V., www.informatik2012.de Bildeten bisher vornehmlich Server, PCs, Laptops und Mobiltelefone die Mehrheit der Internetteilnehmer, so werden in einem zukuenftigen Internet miniaturisierte eingebettete Systeme mit stark begrenzten Ressourcen dominieren. Ein Beispiel fuer solche Systeme sind drahtlose Sensornetze, die einmal in die Umgebung ausgebracht autonom eine applikationsspezifische Ueberwachungsaufgabe erfuellen (z.B. Erkennung von Brandherden in einem Waldgebiet). Urspruenglich als isolierte Netze konzipiert, werden drahtlose Sensornetze zunehmend als integraler Bestandteil eines zukuenftigen Internets gesehen. Durch Verlaengerung der Internetprotokolle in die Sensornetze und damit in die reale Welt hinein entsteht ein Internet der Dinge (engl. Internet of Things, IoT), in dem der Zustand sensorbestueckter Objekte, Personen und Orte in Echtzeit verfuegbar sind und mittels Aktoren sogar beeinflusst werden koennen. Eine ganze Reihe wichtiger Anwendungen koennen von der resultierenden Infrastruktur profitieren. Beispielsweise kann das Internet der Dinge im Bereich "Smart Cities" die Lebensqualitaet verbessern und den Verbrauch von Ressourcen reduzieren. Im Bereich des "Ambient Assisted Living" wird durch das Internet der Dinge ein altersgerechtes autonomen Leben zu Hause ermoeglicht. Die Integration drahtloser Sensoren und Aktoren ins Internet und die Entwicklung von Anwendungen fuer das Internet der Dinge ist hoch komplex, da hier zwei bisher weitgehend voneinander getrennte Welten aufeinandertreffen: des Internet auf der einen Seite und eingebettete Systeme auf der anderen Seite. Es muss also eine Bruecke zwischen den grundlegend verschiedenen Entwurfs- und Entwicklungsmethoden, Protokollen, aber auch Werkzeugen in beiden Welten geschlagen werden. Wichtige Aspekte sind daher die Entwicklung neuartiger uebergreifender Konzepte, Methoden, Algorithmen und Softwareinfrastrukturen zur Integration eingebetteter Systeme ins Internet und zur Entwicklung von Anwendungen fuer das resultierende Internet der Dinge. Im Rahmen dieses Workshops sollen diese Themen in einem interdisziplinaeren Kreis diskutiert werden. Dazu zaehlen explizit sowohl praktische als auch algorithmische Aspekte. Themen - Wireless Sensor Networks - Internet of Things (IoT) - Systems of Systems - Cyber-Physical Systems - Integration mit dem (Future) Internet; IPv6 und 6LoWPAN - Integration mit dem Semantic Web - Services und CoAP - Anwendungsentwicklung - Algorithmen fuer verteilte und eingebettete Systeme - Algorithmen fuer geometrische Netze - Samart Cities - Experimental Facilities Termine - Einreichung der Beitraege: 15.

Datum: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:12:47 +0100 Von: Aline Carneiro Viana <aline.viana(a)inria.fr> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ** [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Paper (CFP)] ***************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMOS ACM HotPlanet 2012 - The 4th ACM International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-Scale Measurement June 25, Low Wood Bay, Lake District, UK http://www.hotplanetconf.net ***************************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES *Full paper and demo registration deadline: March 18, 2012 Submission deadline: March 23, 2012* Authors notification: April 25, 2012 Camera-ready: May 1, 2012 Registration deadline: May 10, 2012 Workshop date: June 25, 2012 SCOPE It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad-hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. This 4th ACM HotPlanet workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces as well as to propose novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques, also showcasing demonstrations of innovative realworld technology. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: . Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology . Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets . Techniques for mobility data storage and processing . Knowledge discovery from mobility data . Novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterization and modeling . Planet-scale data collection infrastructures . Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection . Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to contribute in providing/collecting data on a planet-wide scale . Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection . Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection FULL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library. Papers will be reviewed single blind. 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.

Opportunistic Networks are examples of wireless, ad hoc networks where there is an absence of a continuous end-to-end path. The proliferation of mobile device usage creates opportunities for nodes to forward packets in a dynamic way, utilizing nodes as they present themselves. When two devices come into contact, opportunistically, it provides an opportunity to match services to resources, exchange information, and forward messages. The scope of this workshop is to provide an international forum for researchers with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas and experience in the field of Opportunistic Networks. ================== TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== The main topic areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following: • Opportunistic routing • Social routing as applied to opportunistic or sensor networks • Optimization methods for opportunistic sensor networks • Modelling and simulation for opportunistic or sensor networks • Control of privacy and security problems in opportunistic or sensor networks • Analysing performance of opportunistic network algorithms and protocols • Methods for inviting opportunistic nodes and for controlling them • Methods for detecting suitable opportunistic nodes with useful resources and facilities • Intelligent systems that utilize opportunistic networking approaches • Emergent collective intelligent networks • Vehicular networking • Opportunistic networking for logistics and distribution • Opportunistic networking for e-business and m-business • Best practices, case studies and research use cases. The papers should be submitted electronically via the EIDWT-2012 submission system. Details are available from: • http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/~eidwt2011/submission.html Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and archived in the Digital Library (www.ieee.org, Xplore service, only abstracts are free). _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The basic idea is to make units of information accessible to the networking protocols and turn them into the unit of networking. Main advantages are conjectured to come from a much better support for mobility, data security, as well as caching and replication. ICN has by now been investigated in a number of projects. This special issue aims to collect new, innovative material on the theory, the design, and the practical applicability of ICN. In particular, material that advances the level of maturity, scalability and real-life dependability of ICN are welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Analytic models for the behavior of information-centric networking, especially for scalability properties - Models for workloads (both amount of traffic as well as kinds and size of objects along with request patterns) - Capacity analysis of ICN - Caching in ICN, in particular, cache placement and cache management (e.g., replacement algorithms) along with resource management for caches, links, and routers - Coexistence of ICN protocol stacks with legacy stacks (e.g., IP) as well as coexistence of multiple ICNs with each other on the same network fabric - Suitability of ICN for all kinds of workloads, in particular, streaming and interactive multimedia workloads - Security in ICN - Mobility support by ICN - Energy efficiency of ICN - Active objects in ICN, adding functionality and execution semantics to information objects - Consistency and coherence models for replicated, static or active information objects, along with revision handling and updating protocols - Structuring applications on top of ICN (both legacy and possible new applications) as well as suitable application programming interfaces (complementing or replacing a "socket"-style interface standard) - Interoperability between different ICN solutions - Practical experience, test-beds, open-source software Tentative Schedule Submission deadline: April. 15, 2012 Author notification: June 30, 2012 Revised paper due: July 31, 2012 Final author notification: September 1, 2012 Guest Editors Bengt Ahlgren, Swedish Insitute of Computer Science Holger Karl, Universitat Paderborn Dirk Kutscher, NEC Laboratories, Europe Lixia Zhang, UCLA Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.

However, a battery-powered system has a finite operation time. Power supplies using energy- harvesting devices apparently open the door to unlimited and uninterrupted operation. This requires a dedicated power management that predicts available power budgets and aims at maximizing performance metrics for a given budget. Power management encompasses many facets, such as power leakage, radio duty cycle, sampling rates, harvesting efficiency, energy intake prediction, etc. WORKSHOP FORMAT AND TOPICS The focus of this workshop is to provide a platform for discussing intermediate research results and for vivid exchange of ideas. It is also intended to identify required steps and promising future research directions within scope in order to push the penetration power of energy-harvesting sensor networks one step forward. For that purpose, we particularly enencourage preliminary contributions by Ph.D. students in addition to completed work. In addition to paper presentations, there will be a poster and demo session. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Power management concepts for energy harvesting systems - Power-aware scheduling, algorithms, and operating systems - Network-wide and distributed energy management - Energy-aware network planning (e.g., routing, duty-cycle adaptation) - Scaling laws and fundamental limits - Energy and performance profiling - Online accounting of energy consumption - Energy-harvesting prototypes - Energy storage and buffers - Models of energy harvesters - Methods for energy intake prediction - Real-world deployments and field tests Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed in a blind review process. Papers will be selected according to their relation to the workshop scope, novelty, and quality of presentation. Diversity of workshop topics will also be considered. Accepted and presented papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. Extensions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of "Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks".
