-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] U-NET 2012 submission deadline in one week (Nov. 30) Datum: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:11:35 +0100 Von: Fikret Sivrikaya <Fikret.Sivrikaya(a)dai-labor.de> An: 'tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third IEEE Workshop on User-Centric Networking (U-NET 2012) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in conjunction with ICC 2012, Ottawa, Canada, June 10-15, 2012 http://uloop.eu/unet2012 Wireless technologies have been used mostly as last-hop of fixed networks. In the last years the inherent flexibility of wireless technologies is giving rise to new types of technologies that allow networking functions to be deployed by the action of the end-user, for instance as a virtual Internet service operator. However, the potential of this new set of user-centric networking technologies has not been explored in terms of new Internet horizons and potential business opportunities, or in terms of pervasive network experience and social interaction. The Workshop is dedicated to the debate of challenges and opportunities concerning user-centric networking technologies, which allow end-users to cooperate by sharing network services and resources. This set of technology may empower the end-user as a new Internet stakeholder and not just as a consumer and producer of content. User-centric networking technologies can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, encompassing: i) sharing subscribed broadband Internet access; ii) provide support for a better Internet connectivity; iii) allow the usage of communication services even in the absence of a reliable Internet access; iv) assistive networking services based on user involvement for the detection and repair of communication problems. The new role of an empowered end-user is disruptive in several aspects, namely: i) in what concerns the end-to-end Internet paradigm, since end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network; ii) in terms of regular network boundaries of trust, which need to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior; iii) while handling intermittent Internet connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas related to user-centric networking technologies, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols and new components that integrate into a future Internet architecture. We encourage submissions of full papers describing highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. We also encourage the submission of poster papers presenting a set of architectural agreements and disagreements about the role of user-centric networking. To be accepted, poster papers must meet the same quality criteria as traditional papers. The workshop covers all aspects related to the current and future user-centric networking technologies including, but not limited to, the following: * Impact on access networks * Impact on Internet architectures * New Internet connectivity models * Trust models, incentives to share network services and resources * Resource management in spontaneous networks * Human behavior and mobility patterns * Self-organization in dynamic wireless networks * Cooperative networking * Opportunistic networking * Community detection and social networking aspects * Security, traceability, confidentiality, non-reputation, identity management * Low-cost and energy-efficient technologies Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references), through EDAS: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11479. Important Dates: - Paper Submission: Nov 30, 2011 - Acceptance Notification: Jan 31, 2012 - Final Version: Mar 31, 2012 - Workshop Date: June 10-15, 2012 Accepted papers must be registered and presented at the workshop by one of the authors. All papers selected for publication will be published together with IEEE ICC 2012 proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore database. This CFP is also available at http://uloop.eu/unet2012/cfp.html.

The twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to the topic. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial communication, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Quality of cloud services and cloud computing * Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy * System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; * Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation * Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware * QoS parsing, identification and control * Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification * Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management * Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * Energy awareness in communication systems * Design for the Future Internet PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES _____________________________________________ IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

Call for papers: International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS)
by Vincenzo De Florio 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Dear Sirs, please let me direct your attention to the call for papers for the new issue of IJARAS -- the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. Please accept my apologies should you receive multiple copies of this message. Kind regards,Vincenzo De Florio. ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* *** Vol.4 No.2, Vol.4 No.3 *** SUBMISSION DUE DATES: December 9, 2011 (Vol.4 No.2), February 8, 2012 (Vol.4 No.3). International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS)Official publication of the Information ResourcesManagement Associationwww.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief:Vincenzo De Florio, Ph.D. - University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgiumvincenzo.deflorio(a)gmail.com Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board:- Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS & IBBT, Belgium- Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy- Llorenc Cerda-Alabern - Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya - Spain- Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples- Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy- Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland- Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil- Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy- Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland- Konrad Klockner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany- Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy- Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia- Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany- Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy- Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK- Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium- Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS:Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction---athesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area.

Held in conjunction with WiOpt 2012. ================================================================= http://spaswin.org/ The performance of wireless networks depends critically on the spatial configuration of the transmitters, receivers and relaying nodes. As a result, the modeling of such networks requires methods and tools from point process theory, stochastic geometry and random graph theory. The art of modeling wireless networks is strongly multi-disciplinary, combining these spatial, stochastic tools with information and communication theory, networking theory, combinatorics, and game theory. SpaSWiN is the first workshop specifically devoted to the use of spatial stochastic models for improved design of wireless networks. Building on the success of the seven previous venues of the workshop: in Riva del Garda (2005), Boston (2006), Limassol (2007), Berlin (2008), Seoul (2009), Avignon (2010) and Princeton (2011), the goal of SpaSWiN 2012 is to bring together researchers from the various disciplines involved in spatial models of wireless communications. Please join us in Paderborn, Germany on May 14, 2012. Call for papers --------------- The technical program committee is soliciting contributions that employ spatial stochastic models - including, but not limited to, point processes, stochastic geometry, discrete and continuum percolation, and random graphs - to design and analyze wireless networks. All aspects and technologies of wireless networking will be considered, including (but not limited to): ad hoc, cellular, mesh, sensor, mobile, hybrid, and two-tier networks; models for coverage, connectivity, capacity, delay, energy efficiency; distributed routing and scheduling protocols and algorithms; network information theory; power and topology control; mobility models.

These advancements create the need of the development of a supportive infrastructure and network architecture that will enable the realization of the Internet of Things (IoT) which will be able to host real-time applications in a resource and energy efficient reliable way. The IoT realizes its potential in the context of a global communications platform that can be used by millions of independent devices co-operating together in large or small combinations, and in shared or separated federations. It involves connected embedded-devices such as sensors, home appliances, weather stations and even movable objects (such as toys, wearable devices-objects etc) to Internet Protocol (IP)-based networks. This Special Issue addresses the trend in both science and industry for smart embedded devices (smart objects) to become IP-enabled, as well as the latest frontier of the Internet, consisting of wireless low-power embedded devices-called the Wireless Embedded Internet. It also targets the development and implementation of new fundamental architectures for the efficient support of IoT technologies, where many resource limitations can be faced and various network mechanisms will be optimized by providing new middleware architectures that will face application-specific issues. Additionally the Special Issue aims to present novel middleware architectures and techniques for optimizing the power consumption, connectivity and reliability aspects, as well as aims to propose new models for capacity and data flow management for providing sufficient end-to-end resource management. Performance evaluation can be performed using simulation in order to evaluate the performance under different efficiency angles. With modeling and simulation the dynamically changing IoT environments, can be further analyzed and explored by utilizing computational and mathematical techniques, while creating a model construct of a conceptual framework that describes an IoT system. Topics ------- The list of topics for this special issue includes: -Network and system architectures of IoT -IoT infrastructures -Reflective and flexible application specific middleware for the IoT -Short-range Communications for IoT -Sensor networking technologies for IoT -Access network technologies for IoT -Cross-layer optimization for supportive IoT efficient resource sharing -Energy efficiency issues and schemes -Resource Management for the IoT support systems -Middleware supportive architectures -Design and evaluation of new IoT processes and/or Algorithms. -Performance improvement of existing IoT algorithms and/or reliability techniques and configurations -Semantic resource management Algorithms and techniques -Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT -IPv6 over low-power wireless area networks (6LoWPAN) support in the IoT domain -Embedded Architectures, Techniques and Algorithms that face the scarceness and availability of wireless resources -Data-synchronisation for offline support and resource availability -Application-specific resource management (RFID implementation, MP2P resource availability) -Smart Grid and the IoT infrastructures -Theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation the IoT including modelling new techniques for performance-oriented design methods -Novel techniques in computer system simulation for the IoT -Cloud Computing and IoT convergence -IoT and the Grid and any supportive concept for a future architecture of the Internet of Things Guest Editors ---------------- Prof. Helen Karatza Department of Informatics Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 54124 Thessaloniki Greece Tel. : +30 (2310) 997974 Fax : +30 (2310) 998419 Email: karatza(a)csd.auth.gr Dr. Constandinos X.

We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example delay tolerant networks, mesh networks, sensor networks and other networking paradigms, business and services models, low power devices and protocols, distributed computing paradigms, user experiences and web applications. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, and ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, we now offer ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss Alps Winter Expedition. In this first winter edition, we aim to explore the challenges of the Swiss Alps during winter. Hosted by the ETH Zurich, the conference will start with 3 days of snowshoe hike in the Swiss Alps backcountry where the conference participants will be experimenting with solar-powered experiments. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. Upon reaching the end of the "field experience", there will be two days of paper presentations and demos in a high altitude hut with no electricity. We will rely on solar-panels to power laptops and beamers. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited.

Robotics and WSNs have mostly been considered as separate research fields and little work has investigated the marriage between these two technologies. However, these two technologies share several features, enable common cyber-physical applications and provide complementary support to each other. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia, and industry working in to both robotics and sensor networks areas to present and discuss recent advances and innovative ideas pertaining to these fields. Papers dealing with the coupling between robots and sensor networks are particularly sought. The workshop also looks for contributions about cyber-physical applications based on robotics and sensor networks, such as intelligent transportation systems, healthcare monitoring, industrial automation, etc. The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in these areas.

They have a considerable engineering, commercial and societal impact and pose numerous challenges to designers. One class of issues is the continuous offering of services in spite of various types of failures that are everyday events in networks. The increasing complexity, the participation of many different autonomous entities in the service provision, the lack of information, coordinated actions as well as governance makes this challenge increasingly difficult. In addition to a design of reliable network segments, server clusters etc., new technological issues like stability and failure management across heterogeneous autonomous systems arise. They also involve novel fields at the border of technology, business and society, like risk-awareness or influence of public policy. The goal of this issue is to present state of the art research contributions that focus on the reliable network-based services (RNS) provisioning. Contributions are invited from prospective authors with interests in the indicated special issue topics and related areas of application. All contributions should be of high quality, original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Network and service resilience: + reliability requirements and metrics for individual users, business, and the society + service differentiation based on recovery methods + dependability of networked applications and network-based services + application and service-specific survivability techniques - Commercial and societal context: + telecommunication networks as an element of critical national infrastructures + network resilience combined with economics and business issues + risk and reliability in the Internet and enterprise networks - Operational aspects: + resilience of multi-domain connections in the Internet + reliability of emerging technologies (e.g., network virtualization, thin client architectures) + network dependability in cloud computing + interaction between fault management and traffic handling - Theory and modeling + reliability analysis + methods and theory for survivable networks and systems + simulation techniques for network and service resilience SCHEDULE Manuscript submission deadline: December 1, 2011 First notification: March 1, 2012 Submission of revised paper: May 1, 2012 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2012 GUEST EDITORS Piotr Cholda, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland, piotr.cholda(a)agh.edu.pl Bjarne E.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [Sail-all] ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET)CfP Datum: Tue, 15 Nov 2011 08:37:51 +0100 Von: Ramón Agüero <ramon(a)tlmat.unican.es> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this.] Hi all, The deadline for the MONET special issue on Mobile Network Management and Virtualization [1] has been extended to December, 15th. [1] http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 Best regards, Ramón Agüero Calvo Network Planning and Mobile Communications Laboratory Communications Engineering Department University of Cantabria Plaza de la Ciencia s/n 39005 - Santander Spain ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal Special Issue on Mobile Network Management and Virtualization Management, be it multiaccess, resource, mobility or network management, is a key aspect in the design, deployment and operation of current and future networks. The fast growth and adoption of virtualization and cloud computing technologies pose new management challenges that must be addressed. Although some virtualization techniques are already used in telecommunication networks, the full potential that can be achieved from a completely virtualized network environment is yet to be realized. A fully virtualized solution would be extremely flexible, allowing multiple networks to operate simultaneously over the same infrastructure, while supporting different technologies, protocols, topologies, and QoS/QoE requirements. The application of virtualization in mobile networks is an emergent topic of active research and its impact on resource, mobility, and network management as well as the associated security and autonomicity challenges are under investigation. These topics become even more complex with the increasing pressure for energy-efficient network systems. Most of the current literature focuses on a particular subset of these aspects, but does not tackle their interrelationships. We invite authors to submit papers reporting original, previously unpublished research which fill this gap and follow either evolutionary approaches based on current IP-centered architectures or introduce revolutionary designs and new paradigms. Experimental/testbed and empirical studies as well as implementation/industry results (including field trials) are also welcome. Topics of particular interest include: - Mobile and multiaccess network management, resource management and virtualization - Multimedia applications and services for mobile/multiaccess networks - Future Internet architectures for mobile network virtualization - Disruptive technologies for mobile and wireless network management and virtualization - Energy-efficient mobile networks through virtualization (holistic approaches covering the entire lifecycle are of special interest) - Virtualization in autonomic mobile networks - Performance evaluation of mobile network management and virtualization - IEEE and 3GPP management standards and enabling technologies - Operator vs. user-centric mobile network management and virtualization - New business models and economics of virtualized mobile networks - Security and reliability of managing virtualized mobile networks - Trusted virtualized infrastructures and experimental platforms Schedule Manuscript submission deadline (extended): 15 December 2011 Notification of acceptance: 15 February 2012 Submission of final revised paper: 15 March 2012 Publication of special issue: 2nd or 3rd Quarter, 2012 (Tentative) _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Thus spatial computing implies some distance or other metric within which certain computational steps can be taken among data and processes that are within that neighborhood. Spatial computing is also intrinsically parallel, with the assumption that all computations can take place simultaneously in discrete or continuous and asynchronous time steps. > > Many systems can be viewed as “spatial computers”, i.e. as collections of local computational devices distributed through a physical space, in which: > - the difficulty of moving information between any two devices is strongly dependent on the distance between them, and > - the “functional goals” of the system are generally defined in terms of the system's spatial structure. > > Examples include peer-to-peer wireless networks, engineered biological cells, wireless sensor networks, robotic swarms and reconfigurable computing platforms (e.g. FPGAs), as well as natural systems like animal swarms and cells during morphogenesis. > > The Computer Journal is soliciting submissions on any topic in spatial computing.
