Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: ACM CoNEXT-2012 Workshop on Capacity Sharing

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM CoNEXT-2012 Workshop on Capacity Sharing Datum: Mon, 2 Apr 2012 17:55:32 +0000 Von: Dirk Kutscher <Dirk.Kutscher(a)neclab.eu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------- Capacity Sharing Workshop ------------------------- co-located with CoNEXT 2012, December 10, 2012, Nice, France. Internet data traffic continues to grow rapidly. The challenge that operators face, especially in the mobile Internet, is to support more subscribers with higher bandwidth demands. Therefore, operators need to seek for new technologies to efficiently utilize the available network resources, in particular, this concerns resource allocation and flow management. In wireless networks, the problem is particularly relevant due to the inherently limited resources, which render a simple "throwing bandwidth at the problem" solution impossible. The higher rate of optical technology in access networks introduces the potential for capacity sharing problems to move closer to the core, while passive optical networks move sharing problems closer to the end-user (more like cable and radio access networks). Data centers typically employ yet another type of network with different characteristics -- and different tools for capacity sharing. Addressing this topic correctly is not trivial as there are different interests to consider: operators naturally want to be able exercise control on how the network is used, avoid service disruptions and account for network usage. Users are interested to use different applications and expect a certain level of service quality, consistent experience etc. Many applications today are provided by so-called over-the-top (OTT) providers -- in conjunction with web-services, smart-phone applications etc. These applications and the corresponding platforms are important drivers for innovation and sources of revenue -- although there is controversy over whether enough revenue is directed into capacity growth. Still, application providers are interested in their application working with sufficient quality. In addition, there is regulation that can impose additional requirements in some markets, such as availability requirements, network neutrality etc. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of transport protocols, system designers of fixed and mobile access networks, and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Context-aware resource allocation & cross-layer adaptation * Similarities and differences of capacity sharing in mobile and fixed access networks * Application-layer adaption for mobile services * Transport layer solutions and possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Capacity sharing in data centers for Cloud Computing * The interaction between capacity sharing mechanisms at different layers * Leveraging Software-Defined Networking for Capacity Sharing * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Related standardization activities and projects Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal.

Regards, Sakib* ==================================== Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems, Springer * *Special Issue on Critical Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc/Sensor Networks URL:* http://staff.iium.edu.my/sakib/CFP_VSN_TSJ2012.pdf *Theme and Scope * For the past few decades, Vehicular ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a key technology serving community of peoples in various applications. During this era, there has been a tremendous growth in this field with many new techniques and standards have been developed for the ease and safety of the passengers. Now, the passengers during travelling can take smart decisions by knowing the outside environment variables such as traffic conditions, density of the vehicles in a particular region, duration of traffic lights in a particular areas, etc. Moreover, these passengers can download and upload the heavy contents while travelling with the aid of the already deployed Road Side Unit (RSUs) which are connected to Internet to provide various services to the end users. Modern Vehicles equipped with sensor nodes monitor and collect the data in sparse and dense regions which can be processed for the benefit of community of peoples, e.g., health monitoring and diagnostic systems, safety alarms, intelligent transport systems, and environment monitoring. The vehicles during movement, equipped with sensor nodes, can also collect the data from human body and that data can be processed in collaboration with the other vehicles for various medical purposes. In this case, VANETs can also be used in Body Sensor Networks (BSNs). However, as a new technology emerges, it throws new challenges to the research community. Although there exist many solutions of different kinds in the relevant areas, there is still a requirement of more efficient solutions which can be used in wide variety of applications. Many industrial and academic institutions have already geared up to provide solutions for the benefits of the community. Moreover, there are many constraints that have to be resolved before providing any standard solution. Some examples of the constraints are; mobility of the nodes, connectivity in sparse and dense regions, failure of nodes, network traffic congestion and interference, etc. Submission is solicited from researchers across the globe in the following issues (but not limited to these): - Efficient route selection in sparse and dense regions in presence of mobility of the nodes - Optimized cluster selection on the road - Optimized access point deployment for better coverage and uninterrupted services to all the vehicles on the road - Security during the data dissemination - Cache management for peer to peer (P2P) information sharing - Load balancing in VANET/Sensor networks - Optimized Service selection and resource discovery - Providing QoS to various services - Solutions to various critical applications such as health monitoring system, safety alarms etc. - Channel allocation and selection in VANETs *Submission Guidelines* Authors can see manuscript preparation guideline here: http://www.springer.com/business+%26+management/business+information+system… Authors are required to submit papers as an all-in-one PDF file to any of the Guest Editors (CC to all is preferred).

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 5th Intl. Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2012) Datum: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 08:08:27 -0400 (EDT) Von: iwoungan(a)scs.ryerson.ca An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS 5th International Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2012), to be held in conjunction with the 31st IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS 2012), Irvine, California, USA, Oct. 8-11, 2012 Web site: http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/DNCMS2012/ 1. Scope Due to the strong growth in mobile devices, networked embedded systems, wireless sensors, and the ever increasing information computing power offered by computing clusters and information services over stationary networks, the integration of network computing and mobile systems presents new challenges, especially with respect to the dependability of integrated applications: accepted measures of availability, costs, and quality of service for high-bandwidth, high- quality stationary systems, have to be re-thought, facing possibly new dependability paradigms for cheap, resource restricted, unreliable mobile systems with low-bandwidth communication facilities, being embedded and subject to the conditions in the physical world. This workshop solicits papers addressing dependability issues related to the design, analysis, and implementation, of infrastructures, systems, architectures, algorithms and protocols that deal with network computing and mobile and ubiquitous systems. Topics include, but are not limited to: Wireless communication protocols and mobile networks Sensor networks Architectures and middleware for mobile device integration Location-based computing and data analysis Intelligent sensors in networked environments Cluster computing, ubiquitous computing, and grid-Computing for mobile applications Distributed data mining for mobile applications Ubiquitous Knowledge Discovery Applications such as cooperative mobile robots, embedded applications Hardware security methods for mobile applications Security methods for network computing and mobile systems Intelligent mobile systems ? 2.

Wireless ad hoc communication has applications in a variety of environments, such as conferences, hospitals, battlefields, and disaster-recovery/rescue operations, and is also being actively investigated as an alternative paradigm for Internet connectivity in both urban and rural areas. Wireless sensor and actuator networks are also being deployed for enhancing industrial control processes and supply-chains, and for various forms of environmental monitoring. IEEE MASS 2012, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, aims at addressing advances in research on multihop ad hoc and sensor networks, covering topics ranging from technology issues to applications and test-bed development. Topics of Interest: Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) including systems and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Algorithmic aspects of MANETs and WSNs Application Layer Protocols Architectures of wired/wireless networks Capacity planning and admission control Clustering, topology control, coverage, and connectivity Cognitive networking Cooperative and cognitive communication Cooperative sensing in WSNs Cross layer design and optimization Cyber-physical systems Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination Data transport and management in WSNs Delay tolerant networks Experiences from real-world applications and long-term deployments Handoff/mobility management and seamless internetworking Internet/Cloud of Things Key management and trust establishment Key management and trust establishment in wireless networks Localization and synchronization MAC protocols, including 802.11, 802.15.4, UWB MAC-layer design for ad hoc networks and WSNs Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications Measurements, experimental systems and test-beds Mobile computing and networking Mobility management Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation Multi-channel, multi-radio and MIMO technologies Network Layer protocols Networked smartphone applications Novel applications and architectures for WSNs Operating systems and middleware support Opportunistic networking P2P, overlay, and content distribution Power-aware architectures, algorithms, and protocols design QoS and Resource management Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques Resource management and wireless QoS provisioning Robotic networks Routing protocols, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast Security and privacy Security and privacy issues in ad hoc and sensor networks Smart grid Smart healthcare Smart transportation Social networks Topology control, coverage and connectivity issues Vehicular networks and protocols Wireless mesh networking Paper Submission and Review: Authors are invited to submit technical papers presenting original, unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum length of 9 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10pt size fonts on 8.5 ◊ 11 inch pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All paper submission will be electronic, in PDF format, through EDAS. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee, and each paper will receive at least three reviews. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE and will be presented at the conference. Based on reviews and TPC discussions, the TPC may choose to accept some papers as short papers (5 pages). For all papers, IEEE reserves the right to exclude the paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. Papers determined to be out-of-scope for the conference or lacking substantial original contributions may be subject to Early Reject process. Important Dates: Paper registration deadline: Monday, April 2, 2012 (optional) Full paper submission deadline: Monday, April 16, 2012 Paper acceptance notification: Monday, July 16, 2012 Paper camera-ready deadline: Monday, August 6, 2012 Workshops, Posters, and Demos: Proposals for full-day workshops to be held together with the conference are solicited. The conference will also include a poster and demo session.
