Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS) Von: "Kemal Akkaya" <kemal(a)cs.siu.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: ************************************************************************* International Workshop on Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS) in conjunction with The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2011) July 5-8, 2011 Bahcesehir University, Istanbul, Turkey ************************************************************************* Call for Papers --------------- Wireless sensor networks (WSN) can eliminate/reduce human intervention and provide fully-automated data gathering systems for numerous applications. However, WSNs may operate in inhospitable environments and become prone to sensor failures which not only can degrade the quality of coverage but also disrupt the data traffic. To address such a problem, most approaches in the literature deploy redundant nodes during network setup and reconfigure the network topology to establish alternate data paths. However, sometimes the network suffers a large scale damage that involves many nodes and would thus create multiple disjoint partitions. For these cases, a provisioned approach for tolerating occasional failures at the network design level will not be effective. A similar scenario happens when an application can be leveraged by engaging a number of standalone WSNs. For example, the disaster response may involve collaboration among multiple governmental agencies and may need to combine the services of their autonomously-operating WSNs in the search-and-rescue process. Connecting such multiple WSNs or partitions of a damaged WSN is referred to as federation and these networks are called Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS). The purpose of this workshop is to establish a platform to exchange ideas among researchers for creation, operation and management of FedSenS involving various heterogeneous sensor and gateway nodes. Topics of Interest Original, unpublished and unsubmitted work is sought in terms of algorithms, techniques, architectures, position papers, visionary approaches and modeling to deploy and maintain FedSenS. The workshop program invites papers on various aspects of the FedSenS including, but not limited to, the following: Self-federation using existing resources and node mobility Federation through relay node placement Distributed technique for detecting network partitioning Area coverage and network connectivity trade-offs Service oriented federation models Delay-constrained reliable data communication in FedSenS Topology control for improved QoS (i.e., delay or reliability) Sensor data correlation and fusion in FedSenS Reliable federated storage and querying of sensor data Handling uncertainties through federation Interoperability issues Security and privacy issues in data sharing Military and civilian security applications for FedSenS Performance evaluation and testbeds for FedSenS Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: Dec. 15th, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: March 15th, 2011 Registration & Camera-Ready Paper Due: April 1st, 2011 Submission Instructions Please submit papers electronically (as PDF files) using EDAS: http://edas.info/N9425 Submitted papers must not exceed 6 pages with 10pt or larger font size in standard IEEE Transactions double-column format including text, figures and references, templates: http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors/authors_jou… Please use US letter (8.5 x 11 inches) page size.

Best Nicola and Ruben =============================================================== The Third Workshop on ns-3 March 25th, 2010 Barcelona, Spain http://www.wns3.org/2011/ =============================================================== The Workshop on ns-3 (WNS3) is a one day workshop held in conjunction with the Fourth International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques (SIMUTools 2011). The workshop will take place on March 25th, 2010, in Barcelona, Spain. The objective of the workshop is to gather ns-3 users and developers, together with networking simulation practitioners and users and developers of other network simulation tools, to discuss about the ns-3 simulator and related activities. CALL FOR PAPERS After two successful editions, which gathered users and developers for highly interactive and lively discussions but without a formal publication track, this year the workshop will feature a peer-reviewed paper track, thus allowing presenters to get formal credit for their contribution. Papers will be available in the digital library collection arranged by the main conference track (more details to be provided at a later date). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * new models, devices, protocols and applications for ns-3 * frameworks for the definition and automation of ns-3 simulations * post-processing and statistical analysis tools for ns-3 * speed and scalability issues for ns-3 * validation of ns-3 models * credibility and reproducibility issues for ns-3 simulations * integration of ns-3 with testbeds, emulators, and other simulators or tools * real code integration with ns-3 As a general rule, papers presenting enhancements to ns-3 and/or innovative ways of using ns-3 that could be beneficial to the ns-3 community are considered to be within the scope of the workshop. Papers that just present simulation results obtained without any significant modification to the ns-3 simulator will be considered out of scope and rejected. Please do not hesitate to contact the workshop chairs if you have any question regarding the scope of your submission. Important dates: Submission deadline : November 24, 2010 Notification of acceptance : January 19, 2011 Camera-ready deadline : February 8, 2011 Paper Submission Guidelines: Papers must be written in English and must not exceed 8 pages. Authors should submit papers through EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wns3) in PDF format, complying with the ACM conference proceedings format. Submitted papers must not have been submitted for review or published (partially or completely) elsewhere. Every paper will be peer-reviewed. Papers will be accepted based on relevance, originality and amount of the contribution, as well as quality of the writing and presentation. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the work at the conference. Failure to do so will result in the paper not being published in the conference proceedings and in the digital libraries. The copyright policy that will be used for accepted papers will be posted as part of the author's kit at a future date. SHORT TALKS AND DEMONSTRATIONS In addition to the regular paper track, WNS3 will also feature sessions dedicated to short talks and demonstrations not to be published on the conference proceedings. The aim is to foster interactive discussions on work in progress, new problem statements and ideas for future development related to ns-3. More details will be announced at a future date (the submission date will be closer to the workshop date). NS-3 DEVELOPERS' MEETING In addition, the ns-3 developers' meeting will be co-located with WNS3, either on Thursday, March 24th or Saturday, March 26th. More details will be announced in the future. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CALL FOR POSITION PAPERS PECCS 2011 - Int'l Conf. on Pervasive and Embedded Computing and Communication Systems Datum: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 06:09:53 -0500 Von: PECCS Secretariat <postmaster13(a)303media.net> Antwort an: peccs.secretariat(a)insticc.org <peccs.secretariat(a)insticc.org> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear Lars Wolf, Let me kindly inform you that the Int'l Conf. on Pervasive and Embedded Computing and Communication Systems (PECCS - http://www.peccs.org/) is now welcoming the submission of position papers (deadline set for next January 3). PECCS will be held next year in Algarve, Portugal, on March 5-7. A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper". EDRP PECCS is sponsored by INSTICC and held in collaboration with UPM (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid) and in cooperation with WfMC (Workflow Management Coalition),IEICE (Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers) and IEICE SWIM (IEICE Special Interest Group on Software Interprise Modelling). The conference will include four Keynote Lectures delivered by distinguished world-class researchers: Dr. Norbert Streitz (Smart Future Initiative, Germany), Prof. Bernhard Rinner (Klagenfurt University, Austria), Prof. Lech Jozwiak (Eindhoven University of Technology / Euromicro, The Netherlands) and Prof. Anind K. Dey (Carnegie Mellon University, U.S.A.). The Program Committee (check the website for a detailed list) includes internationally distinguished experts on the conference topic areas. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. A short list of presented papers will be selected for publication of extended and revised versions in a special issue of the 'IET Software' Journal. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI. Best paper awards will be bestowed at the conference closing session. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). PECCS's website - http://www.peccs.org - has all the details on the conference structure and its main topic areas. PECCS is co-located with VISIGRAPP 2011 (6th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications - http://www.visigrapp.org/) and registration to PECCS allows free access to the VISIGRAPP conference. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. Best regards, Sergio Brissos PECCS Secretariat Av. D.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] Fwd: SEAMS 2011: Third Call for Papers Von: "Kurt Geihs" <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: cfp(a)vs.uni-kassel.de,"Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme"" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE>,"ELG KUVS" <elg(a)kuvs.de> CC: CALL FOR PAPERS 6th International Symposium on Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems (SEAMS 2011) (Sponsored by ACM SIGSOFT and IEEE TCSE) Waikiki, Honolulu, USA 23-24 May 2011 http://2011.seams-symposia.org/ THEME An increasingly important requirement for a software-based system is the ability to self-manage by adapting itself at run time to handle changing user needs, system intrusions or faults, a changing operational environment, and resource variability. Such a system must configure and reconfigure itself, augment its functionality, continually optimize itself, protect itself, and recover itself, while keeping its complexity hidden from the user. The topic of self-adaptive and self-managing systems has been studied in a large number of specific areas, including software architectures, fault-tolerant computing, robotics, control systems, programming languages, and biologically-inspired computing. The objective of this symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners from many of these diverse areas to engage in stimulating dialogue regarding the fundamental principles, state of the art, and critical challenges of self-adaptive and self-managing systems. Specifically, we intend to focus on the software engineering aspects, including the methods, architectures, algorithms, techniques, and tools that can be used to support dynamic adaptive behavior that includes self-adaptive, self-managing, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-configuring, and autonomic software. TOPICS OF INTEREST We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia on all topics related to this important area. These include, but are not limited to: - formal notations for modeling and analyzing software self-adaptation - programming language support for self-adaptation - reuse support for self-adaptive systems (e.g., patterns, designs, code, etc.) - design and architectural support for the self-adaptation of software - algorithms for software self-adaptation - integration mechanisms for self-adaptive systems - evaluation and assurance for self-* systems (e.g., run-time verification) - modeling and analysis of adaptive systems (e.g., run-time models, cost-benefit analysis, architectural styles and patterns, requirements) - decision-making strategies for self-adaptive and self-organizing systems - support for run-time monitoring (for requirements, design, performance, etc.) - model problems and exemplars The following application areas are of particular interest: - mobile computing - dependable computing - autonomous robotics - adaptable user interfaces - service-oriented systems - autonomic computing PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS We are soliciting three types of papers: research papers and experience reports (up to 10 pages, ACM SIG Proceedings Format) and position papers for new ideas (up to 6 pages, ACM SIG Proceedings Format). Research papers should clearly describe the technical contribution and how the work has been validated. Experience reports should describe how an existing technique has been applied to real-world examples, including lessons learned from the experience. New idea papers provide an opportunity to describe novel and promising ideas and/or techniques that might not have been fully validated. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. The accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings that will be published as ACM conference proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] Springer MONET Journal - Special Issue on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media Von: "Claudia Barbosa" <cbarbosa(a)av.it.pt> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it CC: Dear colleague, Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. **************************************************************************** ************ CFP: Springer MONET Journal - Special Issue on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media **************************************************************************** ************ MONET: http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 The promise of a truly pervasive experience is to have the freedom to roam around anywhere and not be bound to a single location. However, the energy required to keep mobile devices connected to the network over extended periods of time quickly dissipates. In fact energy is a critical resource in the design of wireless networks, since wireless devices are usually powered by batteries and power consumption represents a major component of the operator´s network operational cost. There is added momentum for green radio to globally reduce the electromagnetic radiation levels to have a better coexistence of wireless system (less interference) as well as a reduced human exposure to radiation leading to the so called Green Wireless technologies. Hence, there is a clear need for disruptive strategies to address all aspects of power efficiency from the user devices through to the core infrastructure of the network and how these devices and equipment interact with each other. This special issue envisions contributions including different aspects on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media. Some relevant topics include: * Energy Efficient Radio Resource Management and Routing * Cooperative Communications * Cognitive Networks * QoE Multimedia for Future Internet * P2P Multimedia for autonomic wireless infrastructures. * Network Coding * Internet of things * Cross-layer and cross-System optimization strategies for wireless multimedia * Short-Range Communications * Resource and Mobility Management in Cooperative Network. * Dynamic Resource Management and bandwidth assignment for multimedia in heterogeneous wireless networks. * IMS for multimedia services in next generation networks. * 3D Video Coding * Context-aware networks and network-aware content *********************************** Guest Editors *********************************** Jonathan Rodriguez, Inst.

This full day workshop aims to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial perspectives and thinking to highlight and discuss recent progress in femtocell technologies. The list of promising new developments includes cooperative networks of femtocells and extending the classical concept of indoor femtocells to the outdoors, e.g. as fixed relays in macrocells for enhancing coverage and cell-edge capacity or as mobile femtocells in public transports. Self-organizing techniques for high capacity and optimum use of transmit power whilst minimizing OPEX and simplifying complexity for remote network management are vitally important to cope with expected multiple million femtocells networks. Scope and Objectives -------------------- In view of current standardization activities in 3GPP and IEEE, changing regulatory landscape and impetus from industrial bodies such as Femto Forum, this workshop focuses on presenting and debating advanced femtocell technologies that have the potential to be considered in future standards such as LTE-A to make the radio access solutions highly efficient with major leapfrog in spectral-efficiency per unit area, while minimizing the transmit power. Specifically, but not exclusively, the workshop proposes to address the following issues: * Optimization of Radio Access * New generation of baseband and radio frequency techniques * Smart interference management * Self-configuration and self-optimization techniques * Network management and architecture * Field Trials / Test-beds / Regulatory issues Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers need to be uploaded to the VTC Trackchair (http://vtc11s-workshops.trackchair.com), should be in English, not exceeding 5 double-column pages, and should follow IEEE paper templates.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: OPTIM'11 - Workshop on optimization issues in energy efficient distributed systems Von: "Patricia Ruiz" <patriciaruizvillalobos(a)hotmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ============================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on optimization issues in energy efficient distributed systems (OPTIM 2011) As part of  The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2011) In conjunction with The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2011) July 4 – July 8, 2011 Istanbul, Turkey http://hpcs11.cisedu.info/conference/workshops/workshop-03---optim Submission deadline: January 11, 2011 ============================================================================ SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Minimization of energy consumption has become a central issue in designing distributed systems that range from wireless ad hoc networks to data centers. Because battery technologies have not yet matched advances in hardware and software technologies, saving energy in battery-operated devices is very important for mobile/wireless networks. Similarly, minimizing energy consumption in high performance computing centers will, in addition to saving power consumption, require less cooling mechanisms. These new challenges require innovative and effective optimization solutions for minimizing power consumption in distributed systems, such as energy-efficient scheduling algorithms and energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in addressing issues of concern and challenges related to optimizing computing system power consumption, energy efficient systems, and distributed systems. Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be welcome. The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms - Energy-efficient scheduling algorithms - Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols - Energy-efficient MAC protocols - Energy-efficient routing protocols - Voltage and frequency scaled networks - Energy-efficient communication protocols - Energy-efficient protocols/algorithms in PHY, IP layers or above - Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked systems - Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency - Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Von: "Yang, Kun" <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: "tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu" <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: Deadline extended to 30 Nov. 2010 due to many requests. Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Socially-aware Wireless Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.
