-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Workshop Virtualisierung auf GI-Jahrestagung; Verlängerung Einreichungsfrist Datum: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:35:19 +0200 Von: Daniel Versick <daniel.versick(a)uni-rostock.de> An: <wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ======================================================================== Call for Papers Workshop auf der 41. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik VIRTUALISIERUNG - GESTERN, HEUTE, MORGEN TU Berlin, 04.10. - 07.10.2011 http://www.informatik2011.de/ ======================================================================== *** Verlängerung der Einreichungsfrist: 01. Mai 2011 *** Seit Jahren kennen und nutzen wir im Informatik-Umfeld den Begriff Virtualisierung. Die Bedeutung der Virtualisierung in unterschiedlichen Abstraktionsebenen (Prozessorebene, Betriebssystemebene etc.) und innerhalb der verschiedenen Informatik-Disziplinen, wie Hardware- und Software-Virtualisierung, Cloud-Computing, bei Multicore Prozessoren, als Mechanismen zur Verbesserung der Energie-Effizienz und Last- Balancierung u. ä. nimmt stetig zu. Die Vielfältigkeit der Nutzung des Begriffes in den unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Informatik führt zum Problem einer fehlenden präzisen Erfassung des Begriffs Virtualisierung. Es gibt verschiedene Ansätze zur Definition des Begriffs, die sich meist im übergreifenden Sinne auf die Nutzung von Virtualisierung als Abstraktionsschicht physischer Ressourcen in spezifischen Anwendungsbereichen beziehen. Eine allgemeine, eindeutige Definition für die Virtualisierung, die zukünftig zu einer stärkeren Systematisierung der aktuellen F&E-Aktivitäten führen könnte, ist aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen in den Anwendungsbereichen derzeit nur schwer möglich. Ziel dieses Workshops ist es, die innovativen Ansätze und aktuellen Entwicklungen in Verbindung mit Virtualisierungskonzepten zu erfassen, die Möglichkeiten einer Systematisierung zu diskutieren und ihre Bedeutung in der Informatik herauszustellen. Beiträge, die im Rahmen des Workshops vorgestellt werden, können die folgenden Themen umfassen, sind aber nicht auf diese beschränkt: * Virtualisierungsarchitekturen und -methoden in verschiedenen Rechnerarchitekturebenen * Ansätze zur Effizienzsteigerung vorhandener Virtualisierungskonzepte (z. B. Servervirtualisierung, Storage- Virtualisierung und Netzwerkvirtualisierung) * Anwendungen der Virtualisierung, kollektive Virtualisierung * Lastbalancierungs- und Lastaggregierungsverfahren (z. B. Live Migration-Technologien zur dynamischen Servervirtualisierung) * Performanceuntersuchungen virtualisierter Komponenten * Selbstorganisation in virtualisierten Umgebungen * Aspekte der Virtualisierung, die zur Präzisierung des Virtualisierungs- begriffs und Systematisierung von Virtualisierungskonzepten führen Beiträge müssen bis zum 01. Mai anonymisiert über das webbasierte Managementsystem eingereicht werden.

The Workshop will be a full day event. Continuing the great success of the previous events, WMCNT 2011 Workshop is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Overview Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility. The aim of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2011) is to provide an international venue for the discussion of architecture, design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous computing environments.

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. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:36:32 +0300 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> Antwort an: konstant(a)unipi.gr An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Scope A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: § Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks § Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks § Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors § Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks § Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks § Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage § Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks § Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime § Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks § Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks § Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks § Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Ten tative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos Department of Informatics University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Dipartimento di Informatica, Elettronica e Sistemistica Università di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Reactive WSN" when they reach the Article Type step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Call for Papers: IEEE WNM 2011 Sixth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements in conjunction with the 36th IEEE Local Computer Networks (LCN) http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN_WNM2011/WNM2011.htm 4-7 October 2011 Hilton Hotel Bonn, Germany The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN). The workshop will include papers and panels dealing with latest advances and challenges facing the field. The expected audience will include networking researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry, academia and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance. The first five IEEE LCN Workshops on Network Measurements were very successful in bringing together a set of participants actively working on network measurements in various domains. We will continue to address network measurements from different perspectives and different domains. Topics of Interest: Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is important for understanding the behavior of networks and for evaluating the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Cross-layer designs, and overlay protocols often rely on measurements. Measurements in wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and subnet measurements face domain specific constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in performing measurement itself pose many challenges.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: SI for IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Datum: Sat, 16 Apr 2011 22:16:46 -0700 (PDT) Von: Lin Cai <cai(a)ECE.UVic.CA> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine User Cooperation for Wireless Networks As the wireless communication channel is shared in nature, user cooperation is a key enabling tool to exploit the spatial multiplexing and diversity gains to improve spectrum and energy efficiency of wireless networks. User cooperation can take many forms, including the physical layer cooperative communications, the link layer cooperative and cognitive medium access, the network layer cooperative routing and load balancing, the collaborative end-to-end congestion control, and the cooperative peer-to-peer services, etc. The development and optimization of cooperation technologies requires inter-disciplinary efforts, from advanced signal processing and communication to network protocol design and optimization. It also sparks theoretical breakthroughs in topology control, nonlinear optimization, signal processing and complex networks, and stimulates practical advances in mobile communications and networking technologies, devices and platforms. This special issue is to dissemina! te the state-of-the-art results in this fast-moving research area, and to bring together experts from different disciplines, with the goal of fostering interactions among them to promote further research interests and activities to develop new user cooperation technologies for wireless networks. Specifically, this special issue targets (but is not limited to) the following aspects: - Topology control for user cooperation - Cooperative and topology-aware communications and relay - Cooperative and cognitive medium access control and scheduling - Cooperation and coordination among heterogeneous wireless networks - Cooperative routing - Collaborative end-to-end congestion control - User cooperation in peer-to-peer systems - Cross-layer design and optimization for user cooperation - Security support and incentive schemes to encourage user cooperation - Cooperative mobile social networking - Testbed and prototype for cooperative networks Authors should submit manuscripts electronically in PDF format with a separate cover letter, which contains the paper title, authors with affiliations, and a 250-word abstract via email to Lin Cai (cai(a)ece.uvic.ca).

Fwd: Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Information-Centric Networking
by Lars Wolf 15 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:11:04 +0200 Von: <prosper.chemouil(a)orange-ftgroup.com> An: <itc(a)COMSOC.ORG> Call for Papers ***IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on* ***Information-Centric Networking* *//**/Background and motivation/* Information-Centric Networking (ICN) marks a fundamental shift in communications and networking. ICN focuses on finding and transmitting information to end users instead of connecting end hosts that exchange information. The key concepts are expected to have a huge impact on the familiar textbook protocol stack, in network architecture in general, and will create new opportunities for all associated stakeholders including equipment vendors, network operators, service and content providers, and above all end-users. *//**/Scope and Objectives /* Information-centric networking is to succeed only if it can to provide clearly superior solutions to well-known problems in the current generation of all-IP networks and can be introduced to general usage incrementally. We invite authors to consider the following aspects with respect to information-centric networks: · Naming & addressing: there is currently a strong association between content naming and addressing. Information-centric networking aims to introduce new ways foridentifying content in a location-independent manner. What breakthroughs in naming and addressing will make ICN scalable when faced with a global network of billions of devices and zettabytes of available content? · Protocol stack: the original TCP/IP protocol stack was neat and simple. Today’s stack is arguably neither having been extended through patchwork over several decades. Can ICN simplify things? · Network architecture: ICN is expected to have a profound effect on network architecture as storage capacity becomes an integral element of all network nodes. What does an ICN network architecture look like? · Management: resource/mobility/multihoming management are add-ons to the current architecture. With ICN we have the opportunity to include support for all these aspects right from the start. What are the essential characteristics of a complete management framework that is scalable, flexible, and suitable for ICN? · Caching: Information-centric networking is an in-network process that relies on content storage in the network so as to efficiently access popular content, alleviate flash-crowd effects, improve the end-user quality of experience, and increase network efficiency. This raises new issues to be addressed such as buffer management and caching policy. · Energy efficiency: battery-powered devices abound and will dominate in the future as the primary means for connecting to the Internet. At the same time, there is a strong drive for energy-efficient networking from core networks to access networks,and from data centers to home media centers. ICN has more leverage to make tradeoffs between storage/computation/communication—will ICN pave the way to a holistic energy efficient operation? · Internet of Things (IoT): as the physical world is more and more connected to the digital world through a multitude of sensors and actuators, the current host-centric approach followed in IP networks, typically requiring synchronous, always on, end-to-end connections stretches beyond its capacity to deliver, introducing further inefficiencies. How does ICN scale in the scenarios envisioned for the IoT and how does it compare with current IP-based IoT solutions? · Security and trust is established today through the use of third parties in an end-to-end manner. Synchronous three-way, end-to-end connectivity is a prerequisite, and it does not guarantee provenance. Can ICN foster the development of a more secure and trusted global communications infrastructure? · Business models in the Internet are established between providers according to peering agreements. The new ICN paradigm based on in-network caching may impact the current relationships between players. Which business models could foster a fair relationship between content producers, content providers and service/network providers? Submitted articles do not need to cover all these aspects but should strive to clearly contrast the ICN approach with the current TCP/IP-based state of affairs. Prospective authors should describe the key concepts, design, implementation, and evaluation of ICN proposals. Articles that demonstrate the feasibility of groundbreaking approaches through testbed/experimental results are particularly welcome. Topics of particular interest include: · Naming and name resolution in ICN · Information/service discovery in ICN · Flow and congestion control in ICN · Routing and forwarding in ICN · Caching an buffer management in ICN · Security, self-certification, privacy and trust in information-centric networks · QoS/QoE in ICN · ICN over heterogeneous networks · Network programming and APIs for ICN · Scalability and Performance · Empirical evaluations of ICN protocol stacks · Use cases · Business models *//**/Submission/* We invite authors to submit articles reporting original, previously unpublished research work on information-centric networking. Articles must be tutorial in nature, accessible to a wide audience in the communications technology community. Articles shouldbe limited to approximately 4500 words, and include no more than a combined total of 6 tables and figures. References should also be limited to no more than 15.

Different research methods may yield contradictory findings, design solutions may not account for critical socio-cultural factors or afford adequate usability, and management policies may not have the flexibility that mobile users require. This workshop is organised with the support of the PRiMMA<http://primma.open.ac.uk/> Project and aims to promote an open exchange between researchers investigating privacy management issues in mobile applications. It will provide an exciting opportunity for researchers to discuss and evaluate research approaches and achievements within the field. In particular, we invite authors to submit extended abstracts addressing one or more of the following key areas: · Privacy research methods for mobile systems · Design solutions to address user privacy in mobile systems · Policy-based privacy management Topics may include but are not restricted to: o Empirical studies of mobile privacy users and systems o Methods and techniques for eliciting and analysing mobile privacy requirements o User evaluation of privacy-enabled mobile interactive technologies o Machine learning approaches to mobile privacy management o Usability issues in the design of privacy-enabled mobile systems o Privacy policies for mobile applications o Online presence and privacy management o Privacy aware adaptive systems o Mobile privacy and social relations Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the workshop Programme Committee. Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop and then published both on the PRiMMA<http://primma.open.ac.uk/> website and conference’s workshop proceedings. Additionally, a full version of selected abstracts will be invited for inclusion in an edited book.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ExtremeCom 2011; The 3rd Extreme Conference on Communication - The Amazon Expedition Datum: Fri, 8 Apr 2011 10:53:23 +0200 Von: Anders Lindgren <dugdale(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu * Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP * ***************************************************************************** Call for Papers and Demos for The 3rd Extreme Conference on Communication - The Amazon Expedition (ExtremeCom 2011) http://extremecom.org/ The Extreme Conference on Communication (ExtremeCom) intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas related to delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms for rural and remote areas, in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, and ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, we now offer ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition. In this edition, we aim to explore the challenges of the deep Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. Located 21 miles (34 km) from Manaus. The chosen spot is known as Praia do Tupé (Tupé beach), a beautiful and remote beach accessed only by boat through the waters of the Black River. The population is composed by natives living in little communities spread around the jungle and also on the river shore. These people experience constant communication interruptions and most of them do not have any access to the Internet, which makes this area a great field of experiments to DTN systems. Hosted by Federal University Of Amazonas (UFAM) the conference will start with 3 days of immersion into the jungle where the conference participants will aid in setting up and deploying an extension of a DTN system in this area in order to provide connectivity to a new community. During this time the participants will have the chance to hike around the trails, interact with the locals and also know some natural phenomenons like the “meeting of the waters”, where the black waters of the Negro River meet the brown waters of the Solimões River, flowing side by side without mixing for about 9 km. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such a system, 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 more traditional conference venue at UFAM's facilities in Manaus. 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. 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. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Networked applications and services Due to logistics and the need to conduct the conference in harmony with the local population and the environment, the number of participants may be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers. ***************************************************************************** Important dates --------------- Conference dates: September 26-30, 2011 Field experience and network deployment: September 26-28 Technical sessions: September 29-30 Submission deadline: June 6, 2011 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2011 ***************************************************************************** Organizers ---------- General co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Local arrangement committee: Edjair Mota, UFAM, Brazil JB Pinto Neto, UFAM, Brazil Alfredo Gold, University of Sao Paolo, Brazil Aline Carneiro Viara Iannonne, TU Berlin, Germany / INRIA, France Publicity chair: TBC Sponsorship chair: TBC Publication chair: TBC Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St. Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Yahel Ben-David, University of California - Berkeley, USA Elwyn Davies, Folly Consulting, UK Avri Doria, US Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Jörg Ott, TKK, Helsinki, Finland Aaditeshwar Seth, IIT Delhi, India more to be confirmed Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden ***************************************************************************** _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] KuVS Fachgespräch 'Simulation and Prototyping Environments for Mobile/Wireless Research' -- Juli 2011 -- RWTH Aachen Datum: Thu, 07 Apr 2011 09:57:02 +0200 Von: James Gross <gross(a)umic.rwth-aachen.de> An: elg(a)kuvs.de Liebe Kollegen, nachfolgend ein Call for Contributions zu einem Fachgespräch, dass wir im Juli hier in Aachen organisieren. Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn Sie diesen Call an interessierte Doktoranden weiterleiten könnten und Sie sich im Juli beteiligen würden. Stichtag für die Anmeldung von Beiträgen ist der 31.5.2011. Mit freundlichen Grüssen aus Aachen, James Gross 36th Meeting of VDE/ITG Working Group 5.2.4 Mobilität in IP-basierten Netzen / Mobility in IP-based networks & 1st GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Simulation and Prototyping Environments for Mobile / Wireless Research July 13th and 14th, 2011 / UMIC Research Centre / RWTH Aachen http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/events/simulation-and-prototyping-env… During the last 5 years the mobile/wireless networking research community has witnessed a vast improvement in the design and availability of tools to evaluate architectures and algorithms for mobile communication systems. On the one hand this relates to network simulations, where entirely new tools (like ns-3) have been released while existing ones have been continuously improved regarding model availability, parallelization and emulation capabilities. On the other hand, more and more prototyping platforms are available which allow the real-world evaluation of new approaches not only in the domain of sensor networks (where test networks like TWIST are available), but also for more advanced concepts like MANETS, VANETS, mesh and LTE networks (by means of prototyping platforms like WARP, GNU radio, CALradio or OPENAIRinterface.org ). While this diversity is quite beneficial for the research community in general, it is increasingly difficult to choose the appropriate tool for an evaluation study in the domain of wireless/mobile networks. Apart from the basic requirement of being aware of a tool, its capabilities and its availability are crucial factors that determine the choice. The objective of this workshop is to provide an overview of this highly dynamic field. We intend to bring together stakeholders from telecom operators, manufacturers, standardization and academia to discuss the state-of-the-art, usability and availability of simulations and prototyping environments. Contributions of particular interest include, but are not limited to * General simulation / prototyping tools for mobile/wireless networks * Specialized simulation models / frameworks (link/system/protocol level) * Scalability of simulation models and parallel network simulation * Emulation tools/models and hybrid simulation * Software for prototyping environments * Recent research results either from novel simulation models or from prototyping environments emphasizing the value of the tool * Demonstrations of simulation and prototyping tools The open workshop will take place on July 14th at the UMIC Research Centre of RWTH Aachen University. In the afternoon of July 13th the UMIC Research Centre organizes a day of the open house where all participants are invited as well. Please inform the workshop organizers about your planned contribution by *May 31st*. Contributions are typically presentations of 10 to 20 minutes length. The number of presentation slots is limited and assigned on a first come first served basis. The workshop program will be published by *June 15th*. To attend the workshop, please register by email before *June 30th*. For further questions, do not hesitate to contact the organizers: Klaus-D.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for papers: 4th Intl. Workshop on Dependable Network Computing & Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2011) Datum: Wed, 6 Apr 2011 17:02:29 -0400 (EDT) Von: iwoungan(a)scs.ryerson.ca An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS 4th International Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2011), to be held in conjunction with SRDS 2011 October 4, 2011, Madrid, Spain Web site: http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/DNCMS2011/ 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, 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. Paper submission Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages, papers on evolving research and work in progress should be no longer than 5 pages, following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings. The font size must be no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches). All the submissions should be made through EasyChair. The submission page for DNCMS 2011 is: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dncms2011 In order to submit your paper, you must first create an EasyChair account if you do not have one already, using https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi.
