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. Accepted proposals will be included in the proceedings and published by ACM on the ACM Digital Library. Demo proposals will be peer reviewed single blind by the Demo Program Committee.

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.

URL: http://www.iet.ntnu.no/~jgding/ Subject of the Workshop We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which makes it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time, the physical environment. Ensuring high connectivity within the network is vital for real applications. Moreover, for many applications, sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed values instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile network infrastructures, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. The integration of RFID and WSN is one of the most promising technologies that will play an important role in the emergence of Internet of the Things (IoT). For example, in a healthcare application, RFID tags can be used to track the elders, whereas the sensors are used to monitor the elders’ conditions. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection becomes effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks, doors will be opened to new vulnerabilities. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but he might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is an emerging paradigm that transmits events captured by low-end machines such as sensors and smart meters, to high-end applications that translate the captured events into meaningful information. Data generally flows from a machine over a wired, wireless, or hybrid network and then through a gateway to a system where it can be automatically reviewed and actions may be taken without any interaction from an operator. M2M is used in a wide range of applications such as remote e-healthcare, smart homes, utility management, and industrial automation. Connecting different WSNs/part of a WSN is another issue that needs to be considered. A WSN might get partitioned into distinct segments due to battery exhaustion of sensors. Providing mechanisms to restore connectivity by connecting those segments is of high importance, where an isolated segment of sensor nodes that cannot reach its sink can exploit the existence of a neighboring reachable WSN to deliver its sensed information. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to WSN, with more focus on the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, as well as connectivity issues in WSNs. They include but are not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Connectivity, deployment, and relocation issues in WSNs - Interconnection/Integration of WSN and RFID - M2M communications - IPv6/6LoWPAN in WSN - Interconnecting sensor and actor networks - Interconnecting WSN and fixed network - Interconnecting WSN and mobile network (e.g., GSM, UAV; etc.) - Interconnecting onboard vehicular sensors and fixed infrastructure (V2I) - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - Testdeds for integrated networks - Security issues for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Fault-tolerance and dependability for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Quality of Service (QoS) issues for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Network, transport, and middleware protocols for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - In-network processing and aggregation for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Location, synchronization and time services for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission guidelines and policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

CFP: PWSN 2012 4th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies) Additional information about this workshop: **** Together with four other workshops, PWSN will take place in conjunction with DCOSS2012 and have two great common workshop keynotes by Professors Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada and Sajal Das, University of Texas. **** ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2012 4th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2012/ May 18 2012, Hangzhou, China In conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '12) ========================================================================= Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IMC 2012 Datum: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 05:44:52 +0000 Von: Ratul Mahajan <ratul(a)microsoft.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Internet Measurement Conference 2012 Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMETRICS and in cooperation with USENIX November 14-16 2012, Boston Massachusetts USA The Internet Measurement Conference is a highly selective venue for publishing and discussing measurement-based Internet research. IMC 2012<http://www-net.cs.umass.edu/imc2012/index.htm> invites submissions that expand our understanding of how the Internet ecosystem behaves. IMC takes a broad view of what constitutes the Internet ecosystem. This view includes (but is not limited to): * the Internet backbone and edge networks (e.g., home networks, cellular networks, WLANs) * data centers and cloud computing infrastructure * peer-to-peer and content distribution networks * infrastructure for online social networks * applications that use these networks (e.g., Web, gaming, multimedia streaming, VoIP, MapReduce) Types of contributions that the program committee would enjoy receiving submissions regarding include (but are not limited to): * collection and analysis of data that yield new insights about network structure and behavior (e.g., traffic, topology, routing, privacy, security, energy use, economics) * methods and tools to monitor and visualize network-based phenomena * systems and algorithmic techniques that leverage measurement-based findings in novel ways * advances in data collection and handling (e.g., anonymization, querying, storage, facilitating sharing) * modeling of network structure and behavior (e.g., workload) * reappraisal of previous empirical findings Papers that do not relate to measuring aspects of the Internet ecosystem are out of scope. Authors should contact the program chairs (imc12(a)cs.ucsd.edu) if they are unsure whether their work is in scope. Review process and criteria * IMC 2012 invites two forms of submissions * Full papers (up to 14 pages) that describe original research, with succinctness appropriate to the topics and themes they discuss. * Short papers (up to 6 pages for text and figures + up to 1 page for references) that convey work that is less mature but shows promise, articulate a high-level vision, describe challenging future directions, critique current measurement wisdom, or offer results that do not merit a full submission. All submissions that are longer than what is allowed for a short paper will be evaluated as full papers. Authors should only submit original work that has not been published before and is not under submission to any other venue. We will consider full paper submissions that extend previously published short, preliminary papers (including IMC short papers) following the model of the ACM SIGCOMM policy (http://www.sigcomm.org/about/policies/frequently-asked-questions-faq). * Ethical standards for measurement must be considered by all authors. In particular, authors must conform to acceptable use policies for domains that are probed or monitored, data privacy and anonymity for all personally identifiable information (PII) and etiquette for using shared measurement data. (See Allman and Paxson, IMC '07<http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf>.) If applicable, authors are also urged to notify parties of security flaws in their products or services in advance of publication. Adherence to ethical standards for measurement will be a criterion for all submissions, and any violations---including ambiguous situations not well described---will be grounds for rejection * IMC 2012 will continue the "review summary" exercise from IMC 2011. Published versions of the papers will be accompanied by 1) almost-verbatim but anonymized reviews written by the reviewers, and 2) a short response by the authors to the reviews. For reference, see the IMC 2011 program, where review summaries appear towards the end of each paper. The main goal of this exercise is to make review process more transparent by making public the PC's rationale for accepting the paper, the main concerns of the reviewers, and the authors' response to those concerns. All accepted papers (both long and short) will be included in this process. This exercise does not have any bearing on the accept/reject decision on the paper, and it does not impact papers that are not accepted for publication. * IMC 2012 will bestow two awards (unlike previous years). One award will recognize the outstanding paper at the conference, and all accepted papers are eligible for it. The other award will recognize a paper that contributes a novel dataset to the community. To be eligible for this award, the authors must make their dataset publicly available (e.g., through CRAWDAD<http://crawdad.cs.dartmouth.edu/> for wireless data) by the time of camera ready submission. A few accepted papers may be forwarded for fast-track submission to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking<http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?punumber=90>. Submission guidelines All submissions must satisfy the following requirements: * up to 14 pages for full papers, or up to 6 pages (+1 for references) for short papers * 10-point font for main text; font used in other places (e.g., figures) should be no smaller than 9 point * two-column format, with the size of each column being at most 9.25 x 3.33 inches and the space between columns being at least 0.33 inches * letter page size (11 x 8.5 inches) * include names and affiliations of all authors on the title page (no anonymization) Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will be rejected without review. The sig-alternate-10pt.cls style<http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/sig-alternate-10pt.cls> file satisfies the formatting requirements. Compile your source with options that produce letter page size.
