-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2012 Workshop on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:15:25 -0800 Von: Ryuji Wakikawa <ryuji.wakikawa(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================== Information-Centric Networking Helsinki, Finland (August 17, 2012) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/icn.php ====================================================================== The rapid development of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) concepts in the last few years is one of the significant results from multiple international Future Internet research activities. Based on the ICN concepts, the principal communication paradigm is no longer end-to-end data delivery between hosts as in the current Internet architecture. Instead, ICN-based network architectures focus directly on retrieving information objects securely, reliably, scalably, and efficiently. These architectural design efforts aim to directly address the network challenges that arise from the increasing demand for highly scalable content distribution, from accelerated growths of mobile devices, and from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT). The resulting network architectures are expected to leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through replication and interaction models to provide effective and efficient data distribution in the communication services, and to provide effective solutions in securing the network infrastructure as well as user data. Call for Papers This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric Networking architecture topics, specific algorithms and protocols, as well as on results from implementations and experimentation. - Topics • Naming and addressing • Routing and name resolution • Routing and name resolution scalability • Support for mobility • Support for / avoidance of middle boxes • Models and/or compensation schemes for user contribution to network resources (bandwidth, storage for caching, battery, processing, name resolution, etc.) • Resource management (caching strategies, congestion control) • Security, privacy and trust • Testbeds and simulations frameworks • Metadata and network extensions • Real-time traffic over ICN (voice, video, etc) • PDUs, fragmentation and "packet size" implications on design • Should ICN be an overlay or an underlay? • Performance evaluation • Inter-domain operations (protocols, policies, etc.) • Limitations of ICNs - Submission Instructions All submissions must be original work that has not been submitted to any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress and ongoing experiments. Papers describing practical experiments are especially invited. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be in PDF format. Reviews will be single-blind: please include authors name and affiliation in the submission Submissions must follow the SIGCOMM formatting guidelines that will be posted at athttp://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/cfp.php.

Open interfaces to network switches enable more flexible and predictable network control, and they make it easier to extend network function. During the past few years, several router vendors have introduced software development kits for programming their network devices, and several commercial switches now support the emerging OpenFlow standard. Researchers have proposed new applications that can run on top of a software defined network, including dynamic access control, server load balancing, energy-efficient networking, and seamless client mobility and virtual-machine migration. Many research and industry groups worldwide are pursuing different aspects of software defined networking, and experimental and production deployments exist. Still, many important research challenges remain: how to design switches and APIs that offer greater flexibility without compromising performance; how to design a software platform for the control and management of software defined networks; how to design new applications that capitalize on the programmability of the network; how to lower the barrier to creating, testing, and evaluating new applications; how to transition an existing network to SDN, and how a software defined network can interoperate with existing protocols and devices; and many others. The goal of the workshop is to explore recent research and developments related to SDN; to allow an exchange of ideas; to encourage broad interaction between industry and academia; and to help build a wider community to explore and realize the potential of SDN. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on Software Defined Networking. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: • Applications of SDN in home, wireless, cellular, enterprise, data-center, and backbone networks • Application of SDN to network management, performance monitoring, security, etc. • Virtual appliances (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection systems, load balancers, etc.) on SDN • Virtualization support in software-defined networks • Switch designs for SDN • Application Programming Interfaces for SDN • Control and management software stack for SDN • Programming languages, verification techniques, and tools for SDN • Performance evaluation of SDN network elements and controllers • Experiences deploying SDN technology and applications in operational networks • Hybrid SDN approaches (integration with other control planes) • Transitioning existing networks to SDN • Placement and factoring of SDN control logic - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted via thesubmission site. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. - Important Dates Submissions due April 6, 2012, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of acceptance May 25, 2012 Camera ready version due June 15, 2012 Workshop date August 13, 2012 Please email the program chairs with any questions you may have. - Organizers Program Committee Co-Chairs Nick Feamster (Georgia Tech) Jennifer Rexford (Princeton) Program Committee Members Katerina Argyraki (EPFL) Jun Bi (Tsinghua University) Marco Canini (EPFL) Martin Casado (Nicira) Anja Feldmann (T-Labs/TU Berlin) Nate Foster (Cornell) Yashar Ganjali (U.

Third-party mobile applications such as Apple Siri, iCloud, and Yelp are rapidly growing everyday and greatly enrich our lives. The eco-system for mobile applications is vibrant and conducive to open innovation. Even one of the most popular mobile OS -- Android operation system is open source. This allows many phone and tablet vendors to innovate on the hardware and firmware. Underpinning this mobile world, it is the cellular networks. Unfortunately, the cellular networks present a rather disheartening picture. They are closed, mostly proprietary, and constructed using closed monolithic equipments. The innovation is limited to a very small number of equipment vendors, not open to the general research community. As a result, cellular networks are prone to outages, dropped calls, performance problems, and hard to manage. The closed nature of cellular networks threatens to derail the mobile revolution or limit its true potential. Research innovation in mobile cellular networks is hampered by the fact that most academic researchers have no access to cellular radios, source codes of cellular network equipments, cellular network management tools, and realistic network traces at scale. As a result, most wireless research is conducted using WiFi. We believe this situation much change. To effect change, this workshop brings network operators, and academic researchers together to address the problems. First, we would like academic researchers to understand operational aspects of cellular network. Second, we would like researchers from academia and industry to jointly identify the challenges, and propose future designs so that cellular networks can evolve to meet the growing challenges of a mobile world. We encourage submission of both position papers and work-in-progress papers on previously unpublished work on cellular networks. - Topics We solicit submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following: • Operation aspects: • Radio resource allocation and usage profiling • Cellular network architecture characterization • Understanding and modeling cellular data traffic • Cellular network security • Challenges facing today's cellular networks: • Cellular network management • Mobility • Energy efficiency • Spectrum shortage • Future cellular network design: • Architectures • Protocols • Algorithms • Security and privacy - Submission Instructions Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, following the LaTeX style file. Papers should be submitted via thesubmission site. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop.

Emmanuel Baccelli <emmanuel.baccelli(a)inria.fr> schrieb: (Apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of this email.) ** 1st ACM International Workshop on Sensor-Enhanced Safety ** ** and Security in Public Spaces (SESP 2012) ** URL: http://sesp.realmv6.org Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA, June 11, 2012, held in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2012 Public spaces, such as airports, railway stations, or stadiums bring together large numbers of people on limited space to use a security-sensitive infrastructure. Electronic security systems may help to provide better and faster security and safety for the general public. Application scenarios may include intrusion detection and monitoring of large crowds in order to provide guidance in case of unexpected events (e.g., a mass panic). However, current security systems used within the public infrastructure are typically expensive, not trivial to deploy, difficult to operate and maintain, prone to malfunction due to individual component failures, and generally lack citizen privacy-friendliness. The advent of novel, large-scale distributed security systems based on wireless, lightweight sensors may enhance security and safety in public spaces. SESP 2012 is an international forum for researchers, developers, and practitioners to demonstrate new ideas, techniques, and tools that enable the design of inexpensive, flexible, resilient, and privacy-friendly security systems for enhanced security and safety in public spaces. The workshop welcomes academia, government, industry, and contributing individuals to submit unpublished papers in theoretical and practical aspects of computer, networking and communications security. SESP will provide participants with fresh ideas, inspiring challenges, and novel approaches in the context of wireless sensor-based safety and security in public spaces. Solutions have not been fully analyzed in favor of identifying novel corners in the solution space. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Supporting Networks * Ad hoc networks * Wireless sensor networks & PLC-based sensor networks * Wireless mesh networks * Wireless social networks * Hybrid wired/wireless networks * Ad hoc networks integration in infrastructure networks Middleware Design & Methodologies * Trust in pervasive environments * Tradeoff analysis between performance, security, and privacy * Security standards * Dependability and reliability * Secure routing protocols * Access control * Security in networked sensing and control systems * Global sensing (e.g., smartphones) Applications * Secure location determination * Intrusion detection * Crowd monitoring * Secure group communication * Area surveillance * Early warning systems * Mass panic prevention * Intelligent guidance systems ---------------------- ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE ---------------------- Workshop Co-Chairs - Emmanuel Baccelli, INRIA & Éole Polytechnique, France - Thomas C.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] [IEEE AOC 2012] Call for Papers (2nd call) Datum: Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:55:32 +0100 Von: Fabio Pezzoni <fabio.pezzoni(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Fabio Pezzoni <fabio.pezzoni(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS Sixth IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2012) June 25, 2012 - San Francisco, California, USA http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2012/ jointly supported by the SCAMPI project funded by the FP7-ICT Programme under the Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) initiative http://www.ict-scampi.eu/ and RECOGNITION project funded by the FP7-ICT Programme under the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) initiative http://www.recognition-project.eu/ Fast Track on Computer Communication Journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom **** Submission Deadline --- February 17, 2012 **** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The diffusion of lightweight, powerful portable devices, also enriched with a variety of sensing capabilities, is enabling new ways for users' communication, and laying the foundation for realizing the ubiquitous networking idea. Acting either as the main communication mode or as complement to existing mobile network infrastructures, opportunistic networking can leverage the mobility of end users and enhance their communication capabilities. The opportunistic exploitation of extemporary contacts among the users of the network paves the way to a number of applications but also poses new and challenging problems to the networking research community. The AOC 2012 workshop aims at serving as a meeting point for people working in the area and a forum for exchanging ideas, discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers, both from industry and academia. As with the previous five editions of the AOC workshop series, the scope of this year's workshop will remain on general issues related to opportunistic networking and computing. Yet, AOC 2012 will have a primary interest in new directions of opportunistic communications, such as service composition techniques, scenarios of co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights to their operation coming from other disciplines such as game theory and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications but also papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest for AOC 2012 include, but are not limited to: * Routing, transport, and reliability issues * Techniques for data dissemination and replication * Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking applications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms * Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless networks * Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Cognition-driven information processing and decision making * Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Game-theoretic insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic networks * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Trust, security, and reputation * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement data from real experiments * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2012/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop. There will be no separate registration for workshop, but one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier).
