However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for Sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance.

It has been estimated that information and communication technologies (ICT) account for about 600 billion kWh of electricity usage annually, about 400 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. Therefore, there is great emerging interest in the design of networks which are energy-efficient, reusable, and yield a lower carbon footprint. There are many other ways in which communication networks can be deployed to enable initiatives pertaining to environmental sustainability; for instance, networks can be deployed to monitor air pollution, or manage energy utilization of buildings. And in a different, but related notion of sustainability, some application require the deployment and management of networks that can be sustainably operated over long periods, such as networks for monitoring earthquakes and tsunamis. We welcome papers on topics including but not limited to: Sustainable Networking * Green network architectures and protocols * Energy-efficient network hardware * Novel queuing models with energy-oriented metrics * Energy-QoS tradeoffs in network planning and operation * Energy consumption profiling in networks * Network economics for incentivizing sustainable user behavior Networks for Sustainability * Network infrastructure for smart energy use * Communication networks enabling renewable energy use * Networks deployed to monitor biodiversity, environmental quality, including underwater networks Long-lived Networks * Networks utilizing energy harvesting * Long-lived and self-sustaining network deployments * Energy storage and transfer networks * Networks for monitoring earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22, 2011 Camera-ready date: May 2, 2011 Paper Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically through EDAS system (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10569).

Couch" <couch(a)cs.tufts.edu>, "Steven Y. Ko" <stevko(a)buffalo.edu> ========================================================= Apologies if you received multiple copies ========================================================= SECON 2011 Workshop on Network Configuration Management (WNCM) Chairs: Alva Couch (Tufts University, USA) Steve Ko (SUNY at Buffalo, USA) The SECON workshop on Network Configuration Management brings together academic and industry researchers around the common goal of creating predictable, reliable, robust, and secure computer networks and services, in the presence of ongoing changes in requirements, hardware, and physical infrastructure. While configuration management is an implicit part of managing any kind of network, it is often left as an unnamed part of the greater task of "network management," even though statistically, an overwhelming percentage of operational issues are due to misconfiguration. In avoiding misconfiguration errors and the ensuing downtime, there is great utility in managing, manipulating, and analyzing a holistic network configuration that is the union of the configurations of its components. The workshop has two overall missions: a) To explore the current state of the art of "network configuration management", including strategies for describing, depicting, manipulating, verifying, and deploying configurations, along with approaches to safety, security, change management, safe reconfiguration, and related topics. b) To seek synergy with other forms of "configuration management", including "service configuration management". Effective cloud computing, e.g., requires careful coordination between service configuration and network configuration management. The goals of the workshop include educating the research community on the current grand challenges of network configuration management, exposing recent advances in network and service configuration management, and plotting the future of the field and next research steps. Topics of interest to the workshop include: - all forms of network configuration management, including management of network devices, security devices (firewalls, VPN, IPSec), and authentication and authorization servers for network users. - configuration-based techniques for guaranteeing network consistency, connectivity, safety, security, reliability, robustness, and performance expectations. - languages and protocols for specifying and manipulating network configurations and network security requirements. - interfaces between network configuration management and other forms of configuration management, including system and service configuration management. - strategies for federating, delegating, and sharing configuration management responsibilities. - strategies for coping with multiple, overlapping configuration repositories. - critical analysis of current configuration management standards and practices. - safe, secure, reliable, and robust configuration deployment mechanisms. - model-based and measurement-driven analysis of network configurations. - configuration challenges for new networking paradigms including programmable network devices (e.g., via OpenFlow). - misconfiguration detection, avoidance, and remediation. - approaches to network inventory and auditing, regulatory compliance, change management, transition planning, and safe reconfiguration. - dynamic reconfiguration strategies for media delivery. - domain-specific configuration management strategies, e.g., for cloud computing, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and ubiquitous computing. - autonomic and self-* approaches to network configuration, including intelligent agent, swarm-based, bio-inspired, and convergence approaches. The workshop will consist of selected presentations by attendees, as well as a keynote talk and a panel discussion of the grand challenges of the field. Attendance at the workshop is by invitation only. To attend the workshop, please submit a white paper describing a current problem of network configuration management and your approach to that problem. Each white paper is limited to three pages in length, and must include (i) a brief (1/2 page or less) description about the author's background and experience in configuration management, and (ii) an important problem that the author believes that the research community as a whole should be aware of and/or approaches that show preliminary promises. All invitees will be asked to submit camera ready versions of their white papers for publication in the SECON proceedings. Selected authors of white papers will be invited to present their results at the workshop. All white papers should be submitted through EDAS (http://edas.info/) and follow the formatting guideline for the SECON conference, which can be found at http://www.ieee-secon.org/submission.html Paper Deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22 Camera-ready date: May 2 With best regards, -Jay -- Satyajayant Misra Assistant Professor Computer Science Department New Mexico State University Homepage: http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~misra ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elmirghani, University of Leeds, UK, j.m.h.elmirghani(a)leeds.ac.uk<mailto:j.m.h.elmirghani@leeds.ac.uk>. Scope and Motivation Energy efficient processes are increasingly key priorities for ICT companies with attention being paid to both ecological and economic drivers. Although in some cases the use of ICT can be beneficial to the environment (for example by reducing journeys and introducing more efficient business processes), countries are becoming increasingly aware of the very large growth in energy consumption of telecommunications companies. In particular, the predicted future growth in the number of connected devices and the Internet bandwidth of an order of magnitude or two is not practical if it leads to a corresponding growth in energy consumption. Regulations may therefore come soon, particularly if Governments mandate moves towards carbon neutrality. Therefore this track is of great importance in seeking to establish the current trends in system and network performance due to known environmental concerns. In particular we believe that substantial advances can be achieved through the innovative use of new architectures, protocols, and algorithms operating on hardware which will itself allows significant reductions in energy consumption. This will represent a significant departure from accepted practices where ICT and networking services are provided to meet the growing demand, without any regard for the energy consequences of relative location of supply and demand. Main Topics of Interest 1. Power consumption trends in the Internet, (including core, metro, access and home networks) and the green agenda. 2. Network architecture design for low power operation. 3. Routing protocols for energy minimisation in core, metro and access networks. 4. Traffic shaping and policy implementation for energy minimisation in networks. 5. Network monitoring for energy consumption minimisation. 6. Electronic routing versus photonic switching for energy minimisation. 7. Low cost, low energy large photonic switching fabrics. 8. Uncooled switching and routing components. 9. Intelligent low power router circuits. 10. Hardware power consumption models. 11. Transmission energy saving. 12. Possible avenues for standards and intervention.

INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2011 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom'11) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future. CPSCom'11 is the next edition of the successful series, previously held as CPSCom'10 (Hangzhou, China, December 2010), CyberSocialCom'09 (Hangzhou, China, November 2009), and CPSC'09 (Brisbane, Australia, July 2009). 2. SCOPE AND INTERESTS Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of cyber, physical, and social computing - Intelligence and semantics in cyber, physical, and social computing - Architecture and infrastructure for cyber, physical, and social computing - Applications and experiences of cyber, physical, and social computing - Cyber-physical systems and society - Modeling, mining, and analysis of social data and social networks - Communication and control in cyber, physical, and social computing - Security, privacy, trust, and safety - Design of large scale of cyber, physical, and social systems - Tools for analysis, verification, control, and optimization of hybrid systems - Ubiquitous sensing with socially produced input - Mobile phones as social sensors - Cyber/digital human and network life 3. IMPORTANT DATES Workshop Proposal Due: April 1, 2011 Submission Due: May 1, 2011 Notification of Acceptance: July 1, 2011 Final Manuscript Due: August 1, 2011 4. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original papers that MUST NOT have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

Damla Turgut <turgut(a)eecs.ucf.edu> schrieb: Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement._____________________________________________ Call for papers: Special Session on Urban Sensing at the 26th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences (ISCIS 2011) The 26th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences (ISCIS 2011) will be held in London at the Royal Society, on September 26-28, 2011 and is organised by Imperial College. We are calling for papers on a special session focusing on urban sensing. The emergence of the smartphones as a multi-purpose computing platform has been one of the most exciting technological developments of recent years. These devices have a computing power which several years ago was associated with desktop computers, and have a collection of integrated sensors ranging from cameras and arrays of microphones to GPS, accelerometers and gyroscopes. They often maintain a permanent infrastructure-based internet connection, but they can also participate in peer-to-peer communication using WiFi in infrastructure or ad-hoc mode, Bluetooth and near-field communication. The always on / always available usage pattern of these devices ensures that their penetration and mobility follows that of their users, providing full coverage of the urban areas of the developed world, and rapidly expanding to the developing countries. Urban sensing is an emergent field of computing which takes advantage of these capabilities to develop applications with high social and economic value. We are requesting high quality, research or applications papers on topics associated with urban sensing. Papers which dealing with the following aspects are especially encouraged: The sensing aspect: What type of observations can the sensor make and how can the data be collected and validated? How can we draw inferences, make predictions and take actions based on the collected data? Distributed approaches which store and process the data in-network are of a special interest. The social aspect: What is the relationship of the owner of the smartphone to the data and to the other participants? How are the interests of the providers of the services and beneficiaries of the services reconciled? Approaches based on both altruistic (e.g. citizen computing) and self-interested (e.g. market based) models are of interest. What is the relationship between the collaboration implied by urban sensing to the social networks of the participants? Agent based models of the social and cultural aspects of urban sensing are of special interest. The networking aspect: What are the networking architecture implications of urban sensing? What are the relative benefits of peer to peer vs. infrastructure based communication? Investigations into non-traditional communication technologies - such as proximity based or opportunistic communication are especially encouraged. The security and privacy aspect: What are the security and privacy risks associated by participating in urban sensing? What attack scenarios can a malicious participant use to falsify the resulting data and how can the system defend against such attacks? How can we negotiate the trade-off between the privacy cost and societal benefits of applications? Authors are invited to submit original research papers that have not been published or submitted elsewhere. All papers will be peer reviewed and evaluated on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. The Proceedings of ISCIS 2011 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes notes on Electrical Engineering, known as LNEE. Also, an extended and revised version of the best papers will be considered for publication in The Computer Journal. Please submit your paper via Easy Chair at the following web address: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iscis2011 The authors should add the keyword "Urban sensing" to the submission.

CFP: WIVEC2011
by Lars Wolf 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

IEEE WiVEC’2011 Sep. 5-6 2011, Hilton Hotel, San Francisco, USA http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, and 2010, the fourth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 74th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2011 Fall, and will take place at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco on the 5th and 6th of September 2011. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2011-Fall conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. 4th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models * Radio resource management and interference management * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Vehicular Networking Architectures * Networking protocols (including ad-hoc communication, routing, geocasting, etc.) and their evaluation * Data aggregation and dissemination strategies * Simulation of Vehicular Communication Systems * Scalability issues in vehicular networks. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design * Security, liability and privacy * Testbeds, testing support, and field testing results * Interworking with sensor network technologies * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications * Roadside infrastructure * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Human-Machine Interface * Applications (eCall, eTolling, traffic information systems, safety applications, wireless diagnosis, etc.) * Standards development, business models, policies * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Submission website: http://wivec2011.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline (extended): 14 March 2011 Acceptance notification: 15 April 2011 Camera-ready papers due: 13 June 2011

Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)HOFSTRA.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for MobiCom2011 The Seventeenth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking September 19-23, 2011, Las Vegas, NV, USA http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ACM MobiCom2011, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, is the seventeenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILEdedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The conference will be held at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA, during September 19 -23, 2011. The MobiComconference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom2011 will also include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at /http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2011/. ** * * *PAPERS: *Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to the layer two or above of the OSIprotocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks * Testbeddesign and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom’11 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected outstanding papers will be fast-tracked for publication in a special section of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. ** *CHALLENGES PAPERS: *The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These challenges papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiComprogram committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiComproceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." ** * * *SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: *All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper.

PWSN 2011 Call For Papers

04 Mar '11

CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2011 3rd International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2011/ June 29 2011, Casa ConvalescÃšncia, Barcelona, Spain In conjunction with the 7th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '11) ========================================================================= Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to t he lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance.

MoCS 2011: Call For Papers (Deadline Extended, March 8)
by Mario Fanelli 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) Paper Submission deadline extended: March 8, 2011 ** Papers of particular merit will be invited to be extended and submitted for a special issue of the Elsevier journal of Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS). ** C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011) (http://mocs.deis.unibo.it) June 28th, 2011 Kerkyra (Corfu), Greece organized in association with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2011) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2011) Sponsored by (pending approval) IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to 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). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several 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 boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services 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 ambition and mission of MoCS 2011 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green computing solutions over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade- offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * 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. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: 8 March 2011 (extended, firm!) Notification of paper acceptance: 28 March 2011 Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2011 Workshop date: 28 June 2011 Paper submission Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by March 8 2011 (firm) using EDAS (http://edas.info/N9903). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2011 Proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE SenseApp 2011 (Bonn, Germany in October 2011) Datum: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 21:32:59 +1100 Von: Salil Kanhere <salilk(a)cse.unsw.edu.au> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple postings __________________________________________________________________________________ SENSEAPP 2011 SIXTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2011) Bonn, Germany 4 - 7 October 2011 Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp CALL FOR PAPERS Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. 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. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references.

Humans build, deploy, use, and maintain these systems that can sense our activities and influence our behavior. We will increasingly rely on these networked embedded systems, therefore also requiring a secure and privacy-preserving treatment of sensitive human-centric data. Novel paradigms and solutions are also needed to allow humans to interact with these systems. This school explores the manifold relationship between networked embedded systems and humans as their creators, users, and subjects. GOALS & AUDIENCE -- The goal of the summer school is to survey fundamental and applied aspects of networked embedded systems and their relationship to humans, as well as to identify novel opportunities and research directions in these areas through a series of lectures by international experts. Participants will also experience the relevant technologies during hands-on courses and be given a chance to present their own work during a participants' workshop. The school will provide a great opportunity to know other people working in the field, to meet distinguished scholars, and to establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the future. We expect about 60 participants. The intended audience are postgraduate students, PhD students, and young researchers from universities and industrial laboratories around the world. TOPICS - Design and implementation of networked embedded systems - Debugging and validation of networked embedded systems - Management and maintenance of networked embedded systems - Sensing and affecting behavior of humans and other organisms - Participatory sensing - Interacting with networked embedded systems - Security, privacy, and dependability - Applications, such as smart energy and smart healthcare - Experience from real-world deployments SPEAKERS (Preliminary) - Srdjan Capkun (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Tanzeem Choudhury (Dartmouth College, USA) - Peter Corke (Queensland University of Technology, Australia) - Anna Foerster (SUPSI, Switzerland) - Mark Hansen (UCLA, USA) - Lars Erik Holmquist (Mobile Life @ SICS, Sweden) - Marc Langheinrich (University of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland) - Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Luca Mottola (SICS, Sweden) - Angelika Peer (TU Munich, Germany) - Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy) - Kay Roemer (University of Luebeck, Germany & ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Andreas Terzis (Johns Hopkins University, USA) - Thiemo Voigt (SICS, Sweden) PARTICIPATION -- Prospective participants should apply online before April 30, 2011 at the summer school website. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 60. If we receive more applications, participants will be selected based on their work area and background, geographic distribution, and date of application.
