(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/future Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality because of the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). At the current stage, after the initial hype of enthusiasm, several ongoing research efforts are deeply focusing on the open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to enable and boost a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite several recent provisioning of Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions can withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services de/activation and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The mission of this Special Issue is to put on the foreground all the above issues and to disseminate the latest research result in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in management of Cloud systems. Along that direction, this special issue will collect a mix of extended and updated versions of papers recently presented at the international Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011), and of other papers submitted from this open call. In particular, all the authors of papers accepted for inclusion in the MoCS’11 proceedings are invited to submit extended versions of their workshop papers; in addition, we are asking for high-quality papers (from open call) reporting original research results. Contributions should present practical experiences of system design/prototy- ping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost- effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centers (intra-/inter-domain); * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies; * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings. Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/ find/journaldescription.cws_home/505611/authorinstructions Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has been published in a conference, including MoCS’11, the submitted version should contain significant additions/enhancements; in that case, authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.

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 variety of access technologies offer users a great deal of flexibility to connect to the Internet. Multi-homing and mobility are becoming the focal point in protocol design. Mobility support allows users to be constantly connected, even when they are on the go. Multi-homing utilizes resources from the available interfaces in an efficient manner. Depending on the access technology associated with each interface, a mobile host can be connected to the Internet by an infrastructure network or through an ad-hoc network. Many protocols have been proposed for mobility and multi-homing support. Mobile IP, vertical handover and cross-layer design are mainly proposed for mobility in infrastructure-based networks. Multipath TCP, Stream Control Transmission Protocol, Multiple Care-of-Address registration, Level 3 Multi-homing Shim Protocol for IPv6 are solutions for multi-homing. Routing protocols are the major means to provide mobility in ad-hoc networks. In designing protocols for the future Internet, we will need to take into account not only mobility and multi-homing requirements, but also their potential impact on quality of service, resiliency and security of the communications. The workshop is an opportunity for researchers working on multi-homing and/or mobility for the future Internet to present scientific results, exchange experiences and highlight future directions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TPDS Special Issue on Cyber-Physcial Systems Datum: Wed, 4 May 2011 12:35:15 -0700 (PDT) Von: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca Call for Papers for a Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) is seeking original manuscripts for special Issue on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), scheduled to be published in the September issue of 2012. Although significant advances have been achieved over the last decades in several fields of science and engineering, and especially in the areas of distributed computing, sensing, data collection and internet-connection of large scale object networks, it is mainly the coordination and tight link between computational, virtual and physical resources that will drive the potential of having a pervasive effect in the citizens everyday life, satisfying various needs and also creating new opportunities for the introduction of services that will enhance the Quality of Life of the society as a whole. Research advances in cyber-physical systems promise to transform our world with systems that will far exceed those of today in terms of: effectiveness, adaptability, autonomicity, energy efficiency, precision, reliability, safety, usability, scalability, stability and user-centric applicability. Moreover, recently the Sensor Web concept came into foreground, aiming at combining distributed sensing with the ubiquitous connectivity and accessibility of the web, therefore facilitating the close interaction of digital world with physical world. Cyber-physical systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and disciplines, including for instance (but not limited to): a) Smart Grid technologies: that aim at facilitating a reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to consumers using two-way digital communications and security technologies, which allows utility providers and consumers to constantly monitor and control the delivery network as well as electricity consumption for the purpose of energy saving, cost reduction, and reliability enhancement; b) Wireless sensing, monitoring and networking: to enable distributed monitoring systems of numerous smart sensors and actuators, mobile devices, RFIDs, robots etc., which revolutionize a variety of application areas with unprecedented density, fidelity, and scalability of environment instrumentation; c) Vehicular cyber-physical systems and intelligent transportation systems: that integrate computing, communication, and storage capabilities with monitoring and control of vehicles in the physical world to deal with the grand challenges of safe, green, and efficient transportation. The technical challenges are significant, and of high research and practical importance, mainly stemming from the fact that traditionally different groups of scientists deal with this setting without much interaction, using disjoint sets of techniques. Towards merging the two main and different features of those systems, that of information-centric character and node-centric physical world connectivity, well-defined analytical models, methodologies and experimental validations are required of how to build such systems capable of coping with the entire chain of operations and orchestrating the various parts together in a flexible, efficient and economic way. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Architectural framework for distributed CPS * Resource Management in large scale CPS * Smart Grid Technologies * Security, privacy, scalability, and reliability issues * Design and cross-layer optimizations * Vehicular CPS and intelligent transportation systems * Novel monitoring applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices * Distributed and scalable monitoring systems * Evaluations and filed trials of CPS and solutions Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

A challenge for researchers is ensuring their output is relevant to practitioners, and can thus lead to the improved resilience of current and future network deployments. This is difficult for several reasons: the challenges of acquiring useful detailed information regarding network outages; the difficulties of wide-scale experimentation with network disruptions such as attacks; the general lack of transparency regarding the challenges faced by network operators and the processes used to mitigate them; and the difficulty of modelling the complex manner in which socio-technical networked systems fail. This workshop aims to bring together practitioners at the frontline of providing resilient network infrastructures with the research community in order to engage in a dialogue that can steer future resilience research in directions that will meet the resilience problems of current and future networks. In line with this goal, this workshop will feature a hybrid approach of individual presentations, combined with interactive sessions intended to stimulate active exchange and collaboration between the communities. The major areas of interest pertain to all stages of resilient networks' design and operation, and include, but are not limited to, the following: * Resilient network design, current practice and research proposals * Composition/correlatio of network resilience metrics across the protocol stack * Approaches to carrying out large-scale disruptive resilience experiments, and results from these * Analysis of network outages that provide insights regarding the efficacy of resilience approaches * Empirical approaches to specifying desired levels of network resilience * Service level agreements and their mapping on fault management procedures * Risk assessment approaches to inform resilience decision making * The role of the human operator in the operation of resilient autonomic systems * Understanding the complexities of resilience incidents, such as cascading effects * Cross-disciplinary aspects, including the economic and legal frameworks for providing network resilience * Measurement approaches and metrics for assessing resilience in practical deployments * Anticipated resilience problems caused by future Internet service provisioning platforms * Techniques for enhancing existing networks with resilience capabilities Organising Committee: * Christian Doerr, Technical University Delft, Netherlands * Merkouris Karaliopoulos, University of Athens, Greece * Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden * Marcus Schöller, NEC Laboratories Europe, Germany * Paul Smith, Lancaster University, UK Important Dates and Deadlines: * Paper Submission: June 10, 2011 * Author Notification: June 30, 2011 * Camera Ready: July 15, 2011 * Workshop Date: October 4, 2011 Submission Guidelines: Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper. Regular papers must be no longer than 6 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 submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and the accepted papers will be included in a Workshop Proceedings distributed at the Symposium. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] Call for contributions: 1st RAWSNETS Workshop @ AVSS-2011 Datum: Mon, 25 Apr 2011 23:35:57 +0200 Von: Dr. Christian Micheloni <christian.micheloni(a)uniud.it> Antwort an: admmyc(a)gmail.com An: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br **Please accept our apologies for multiple copies ========================================================================================= 1st Workshop on Resources AWare Sensor and surveillance NETworkS (RAWSNETS) August 30, Klagenfurt, Austria Associated with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal-Based Surveillance Klagenfurt University August 30 – September 2, 2011 Call for Contribution and Participation ========================================================================================= In the real applications domain, monitoring technology has to cope with different constraints that open to interesting research topics. In particular in context of sensor networks three main resources present strong limitations: a)Communication, b) Computational Power and c) Power Consumption. All these limitations become more evident with the increase of the number of sensors deployed by the network. These limitations require a sort of awareness of the system that can take measures to adapt its performance or operability in order to adhere to the constraints. In the context of video sensor networks, the bandwidth limitation strongly upper-bounds the amount of data that each node/camera can share through the network. Hence distributed and hierarchic models have gained major interest against centric models. Anyhow, distributed knowledge still require information sharing for consensus policies. Information sharing requires information extraction that hence has to be handled as close as possible to the data acquisition. This foresees smart sensors able to perform as many as possible analysis of the data. Currently this is bound by the computational power available on-board of embedded platforms. Limited computational power implies to work on simpler data (low resolution images, low frame rate, etc.) or to adapt the quality of the data as consequence of its content (event or not). On top of that, the mobility of the sensor networks (ad hoc deployments, moving sensors, etc.) introduces the third limitation that is represented by the power consumption. Power, in these networks, is not unlimited, it is a paramount resource. Saving power means sustain the operability of the network. Properly switching on and off the sensors allows to save power. Switching on and off policies are fundamental and should be based on the assessment of the sensor importance at each time instant. It is clear that methods to control the analysis parameters of the sensor network together with algorithms able to manage the network in terms of communication, computational power and consumption are key research areas for future resource aware sensor networks. Paper Submission ========================================================================================= The workshop aims to present the latest achievements and future developments in the field of resource aware sensor network. The workshop will be organized as a round table where all the participants can interact in an active manner. A keynote speaker will be individuated to give wide introduction about the research field and propose different discussion topics. Around the keynote speech, participants will be asked to contribute to the discussion. Participation requires to submit an extended abstract (about 1000-2000 words) of current research in the resource aware sensor networks field. Accepted contributors will be asked to give an interactive presentation in order to give a full coverage of the topics.

Fwd: [Tccc] Elsevier : COMCOM Call for Paper Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks
by Lars Wolf 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Elsevier : COMCOM Call for Paper Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Mon, 25 Apr 2011 16:31:22 +0800 Von: Chen, Jie (ELS-BEI) <J.Chen(a)elsevier.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers 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 Tentat Tentative 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 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Università di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM SIGCOMM 2011: Call for Posters Datum: Sun, 24 Apr 2011 10:53:08 -0400 Von: Nicolas Christin <nicolasc(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu SIGCOMM 2011 - Call for Posters [Note updated deadline -- less than a month ago] The SIGCOMM poster session showcases 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, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. The SIGCOMM 2011 Poster and Demo committee will review all demo proposals. At the conference, a student must present student posters. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2011 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 2011, 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, top few submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newletter, 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 Please submit a two-page abstract on the work to https://sigcomm2011posters.cs.wisc.edu. The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. 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.

Special Issue on "Security in Cooperative Vehicular Networks", Security and Communication Networks (Wiley Online Library, ISSN: 1939-0114, SCIE indexed journal): http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sec.292/pdf Recent technologies of wireless cooperative vehicular networks supporting Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications have become a cornerstone of Intelligent Transport Systems that will bring the promise of improved road safety and comfortable/infotainment driving environments with IEEE 802.11p.Wireless cooperative vehicular networking is one of the most interesting and active research topics, which is requiring vital efforts from both the industry and the academia. In particular, studies on secure broadcasting and routing for V2V and V2I communications, authenticating messages and vehicles, authorizing users to services, and location privacy of users have posed various challenges. These challenges require to develop applicable authentication approaches for messages and vehicles and authorization approaches for users as well as improved anonymous mechanisms for preventing the exposure of identity and location. Especially, IPv6 enabled V2V and V2I communications are requiring network level security mechanisms including secure binding between the permanent and temporary addresses of vehicles key distribution and location privacy with regard to IPv6 tunnel management, securing end-to-end communication, authentication in the IPv6 access network, etc. This special issue is intended to disseminate the latest research results in emergent security issues, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in wireless cooperative vehicular networking. Especially, this special issue will not only focus on security mechanisms for IEEE 802.11p based V2V and V2I communications, but also address security mechanisms for IPv6 enabled V2V and V2I communications. Accordingly, this special issue will bring together the industry and academia working on security issues related to wireless cooperative vehicular networking and highlight future directions. Main Topics of this Special Issue *Secure Broadcasting for V2V and V2I Communications *Secure Multi-hop Routing for V2V and V2I Communications *Secure Geographic Addressing and Routing (GeoNetworking) *Secure Service Discovery Mechanisms in Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Trustable Broadcasting and Multi-hop Routing for V2V and V2I Communications *Authentication and Authorization for Messages, Vehicles, and Users *Access Control for Vehicles and Users *Location Privacy Approach to Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Identity Management Approach to Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Incentive Management Approach to Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Formal Security Validation Model for Cooperative Vehicular Networks *Performance Analysis Model for Security Mechanisms for Cooperative Vehicular Networks.
