-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] due on 12/1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 00:10:02 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [ Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: * Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, and stability * Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, and consumer handhelds * Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes * Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services * Network lab testing and field testing * Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds * Evaluating false positive and negative of network security * Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Network Testing Series." Articles to be considered for publication in the January 2011 issue must be submitted by June 1, 2010. Since this is a regular series, papers can be submitted at any time for consideration for subsequent issues. Schedule for the First Issue of each year: Submission Deadline: June 1 Acceptance Notification: September 1 Final Manuscript Submission: November 1 Expected Publication Date: January Schedule for the Second Issue of each year: Submission Deadline: December 1 Acceptance Notification: March 1 Final Manuscript Submission: May 1 Expected Publication Date: July Series Editors Ying-Dar Lin, ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw National Chiao Tung University – Network Benchmarking Lab (NCTU-NBL), TAIWAN Erica Johnson, erica.johnson(a)iol.unh.edu University of New Hampshire – InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL), USA Tom McBeath, Tom.McBeath(a)spirent.com Spirent Communications Inc., USA Eduardo Joo, ejoo(a)empirix.com Empirix Inc., USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the next years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We are looking forward to meeting you !

Fwd: [Tccc] 3rd CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization
by Lars Wolf 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 3rd CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization Datum: Wed, 03 Nov 2010 23:30:04 +0100 Von: Roland Bless <roland.bless(a)kit.edu> Organisation: Institute of Telematics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Hi, ** Extended Deadline November, 7th 2010! ** =============================================================== KIVS 2011 – NV Workshop Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization =============================================================== See http://tm.kit.edu/NV2011 for latest information. Network Virtualization (NV) is becoming an increasingly important technology for the deployment of new network architectures that try to go beyond the Internet’s current capabilities. Virtualization of whole networks allows for increased flexibility with respect to resource management as well as for an efficient deployment of different network architectures in parallel but isolated from each other (e.g., coexistence of 3G and different beyond 3G mobile networks on the same physical hardware). While some virtualization techniques are well known for links (e.g., VLANs, MPLS, Tunneling, VPNs, and so on) the challenges lie more in virtualization of network nodes, whole networks, and an efficient management thereof. Accordingly, network virtualization has received significant attention in the network research community, but it is a field that is just beginning to be understood; recently an IRTF research group has been formed for this topic. The current technological challenges and solutions for network virtualization are of interest in this workshop. In addition, major drivers for the success of network virtualization are the considered use cases that can be used to derive important requirements for NV architectures. Network virtualization allows providing specialized, dependable, and predictable networks (e.g., a global IP-TV network, a safe kids’ network or a banking network) and also supports network resource scalability, thereby reducing time and overhead required for an introduction of new services (e.g., starting small scale deployments that can grow fast if the service is becoming more mature and popular). The definition of such use cases helps to design and evaluate (technically and economically) NV solutions. The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent investigation on architectural and design issues as well as related implementation, experimentation, or simulation efforts towards realization of network virtualization for the future Internet. A particular focus lies on use cases for network virtualization. Original papers not under consideration of another conference, workshop or journal are encouraged to submit via Conftool (https://www.conftool.com/kivs11/). Submissions should be written in English, adhere to the eceasst format (special KIVS Workshop template for LaTeX and Word are provided), and comprise no more than 12 pages in total in this format. Accepted papers will be published in the Open-Access-Journal Electronic Communications of the EASST. Topics of interest for submissions include, but are not limited to: • Solutions and drivers • Virtualization technologies, platforms, and architectures • Use cases, applications and services enabled by NV • Business considerations and economic aspects • Network virtualization in data centers • Mobile virtual network operators • Control plane and management plane mechanisms for virtual networks • Resource allocation for co-existing networks • Radio access network sharing • Monitoring in virtualized environments, e.g. QoE or energy consumption • Network virtualization for energy efficiency • Isolation, performance and security Important Dates: ================ • 07.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSAN are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formated in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Elsevier PMC Journal SI on "Vehicular Sensor Networks and Mobile Sensing over Wide-Scale Deployment Environments": deadline extended to Nov. 15 Datum: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:14:35 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Due to many requests, the Guest Editors team has decided to extend the submission deadline of the SI to November 15 (firm deadline). All the other dates remain the same. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************************* Call for Papers Elsevier Journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing - Special Issue on "Vehicular Sensor Networks and Mobile Sensing over Wide-Scale Deployment Environments" www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2010 ************************************************************************************** The development of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) based Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is one of the most interesting and active research area nowadays, which is attracting significant efforts from both the industry and the academia, not only from the automotive and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) communities, but also from the fields of wireless and mobile sensor networks, smart environments, and mobile collaborative applications in general. In this context, many national and international collaboration projects currently ongoing practically demonstrate the relevant government, industry, and academia interest in the field. In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are becoming increasingly interesting and popular due to recent advances in inter-vehicular communication technologies and decreasing cost of communication devices. Differently from traditional wireless sensor nodes, vehicles are not typically affected by energy constraints and can easily be equipped with powerful processing units, wireless communication devices, GPS, and sensing devices such as chemical detectors, still/video cameras, vibration and acoustic sensors. Thus, they enable brand new and promising sensing applications, such as traffic reporting, relief to environmental monitoring, distributed surveillance, only to mention a few promising (and not the most visionary) service provisioning scenarios. The design, implementation, and deployment of dynamic, opportunistic, collaborative, scalable, efficient, reliable, robust, and secured mobile sensing applications for VSNs, especially over realistic and large-scale deployment environments such as municipalities, presents extraordinary challenges to the pervasive and mobile computing research community. This special issue intends to disseminate the latest research results in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in VANETs, VSNs, and mobile sensing. To this purpose, we are seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design/prototyping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: - Original algorithms and protocols for VSN mobile sensing - Original middleware and platforms for the support of VSN applications - Case studies of mobile sensing applications over wide-scale urban environments - Vehicular network architectures and protocols for mobile sensing - Intra-vehicular sensor network and integration with (possibly legacy) embedded systems - Efficient integration with wide-area networks and with municipal mesh networks - Routing, addressing, and transport-layer issues for mobile sensing - Efficient QoS support for quality-sensitive mobile sensing applications - Delay-tolerant and real-time supports for VSN mobile sensing - Data dissemination solutions for VSN mobile sensing applications - Performance, scalability, reliability, and efficiency of VSN supports and applications - Safety, enhanced navigation, and car alert supports/services - Vehicular collision avoidance using distributed sensing technologies - Human-machine interface for VSN mobile sensing applications - Mobility models and vehicle traffic models - Simulation aspects of V2V, V2I, and VSNs - Emulation and testbeds for large-scale VSNs - Practical experience with standards (802.11p, CALM, P1609, ), standard development and evolution - Security, encryption, and privacy for VSNs Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. 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, 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.
