-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CHANTS 2010 - Deadlines extended Datum: Mon, 24 May 2010 00:33:09 -0400 Von: Brenton Walker <brenton(a)cs.wisc.edu> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: Brenton Walker <brenton(a)ltsnet.net> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. It was requested that we extend the abstract registration deadline for CHANTS 2010, so we have re-opened abstract registration and extended paper submission deadlines by a week. The new deadlines are below, and the original CFP is attached. Thank you, Brenton Walker Abstract Registration: 28 May 2010 Submission Deadline: 4 June 2010 Demo Submission: 18 June 2010 ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Fifth Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2010) Co-located with MobiCom 2010, 24 September 2010, Chicago, Illinois, USA http://dtnbone.umiacs.umd.edu/chants2010 ========================================================================= Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks may also be found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. The goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement systems for effective and efficient communication in this diverse range of conditions. The workshop solicits papers and demos relating to the following topics: * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Case studies involving challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Delay/disruption-tolerant networking (DTNs) * Applications in challenged networks * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications of challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop. Demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work are encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases where live demos are not practical, poster or video presentations are acceptable. Submission Instructions: ------------------------ Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Paper submissions will be handled via EDAS http://edas.info/N8985 Demo abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall be at most 3 pages plus a one page description of the precise setup and requirements. Demo proposals should be emailed to Earl Oliver by 18 June. NOTE: Demo submitters should expect to receive an acknowledgment of their submission from Earl. Important Dates: ---------------- Abstract Registration: 28 May 2010 (was 21 May) Submission Deadline: 4 June 2010 (was 28 May) Demo Submission: 18 June 2010 Acceptance Notification: 1 July 2010 Camera Ready Due: 15 July 2010 Co-chairs: ---------- Pan Hui Deutsche Telekom Laboratories Pan.Hui_at_telekom.de Brenton Walker Lab for Telecommunications Sciences brenton_at_ltsnet.net Demo Chair: ----------- Earl Oliver University of Waterloo eaoliver_at_uwaterloo.ca _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: REALWSN 2010 Datum: Tue, 25 May 2010 09:01:40 +0200 Von: Thiemo Voigt <thiemo(a)sics.se> An: Thiemo <thiemo(a)sics.se> Call for Papers ============ The Fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks 16-17 December, 2010 Colombo, Sri Lanka http://www.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk/realwsn10/ We are excited to announce that the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in December 2010. The purpose of the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance. Note that we will organize a poster and demo session as well. The deadline will be in the middle of September. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring, etc. * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: July 16, 2010 * Notification of acceptance: September 10, 2010 * Camera-ready copy due: October 8, 2010 * Workshop: 16-17 December, 2010 Organizers: Workshop Chair: * Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Technical program committee chairs: * Peter Corke, Queensland University of Technology, Australia * Pedro José Marron, University of Duisburg-Essen and Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany Local organizing committee: * A.

On one hand, autonomous applications embedded in automatic environments have rapidly expanded from classical industrial ones to applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely and on the other hand communication technologies have also known a great growing development related to sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, wireless networks, etc. Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of the potential scenarios of convergence between robotic systems and network technologies. These applications, which are based on high-level commands and in order to accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support, control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital challenges that limit substantially any successful robotic application, network paradigms should also take into account issues related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and network technologies devoted for different applications. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, and protocols will elicit particular attention. The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Autonomous manipulation using service robots - Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks (energy efficiency, collision-free, low-power, etc.) - Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields - Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart textile clothes and wearable robots applications - Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics - Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications - Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition - Applications of Autonomous Behavior - Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems - Assistive robotic technology - Energy optimization of autonomous systems - Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment - Context awareness using sensor networks - Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems - Real-time network based structure using sensors, actuators and transducers, etc. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed and we will select papers based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance to the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Internet Computing Special Issue on Internet Workloads Datum: Wed, 19 May 2010 12:59:45 -0300 Von: Jussara <jussara(a)dcc.ufmg.br> An: sbc-l(a)sbc.org.br, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Computing Special Issue Internet Workloads: Measurement, Characterization and Modeling (Mar/Apr 2011) Final submissions due 1 July 2010 Please email the guest editors a brief description of the article you plan to submit by 15 June 2010 Guest Editors: Virgilio A. F. Almeida (virgilio(a)dcc.ufmg.br) and Jussara M. Almeida (jussara(a)dcc.ufmg.br) The Internet has a number of popular applications and services experiencing workloads with very different, non-trivial and unique properties. Examples are online social networking and Web 2.0, e-business, search, streaming, malware, Peer-to-Peer, grid, and mobile applications. Real workload characterization and modeling provide key insights into the cost-effective design, operation, and management of Internet- based services and systems. Nevertheless, some of the most fundamental concepts and methods related to the characteristics of real Internet workloads are largely unknown to most Internet/Web practitioners. This is further aggravated by the limited availability of real representative workloads for analysis, either due to privacy restrictions imposed by service providers or due to the inherent limitations of partial/local workloads in face of the global nature of Internet applications. As a result, many Internet-based systems and services are designed and built without exploring the inherent properties of their workloads. This special issue of IC seeks original articles addressing relevant aspects of real Internet workloads, looking at measurement and collection of workloads, characterization and modeling. Articles can be from research, operations, management, or architecture viewpoints. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: workload sampling and measurement techniques; workload characterization techniques and results; workload modeling approaches; strategies to achieve representativeness under partial workloads; privacy preserving issues; synthetic workload generators; workload temporal evolution and prediction schemes; and case studies. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Ideally, wireless users want to have the same services and capabilities that they have commonly come to expect with wired networks. However, to meet these objectives, the wireless community faces certain challenges and need an excellent understanding of all aspects of wireless networks. Wireless networks are large complex entities. This complexity brings to the many problems, such as network planning, resource management, Quality of Service scheduling, congestion and flow control, connection admission control, and Medium Access Control. These problems are outside the traditional communications background. They can be properly addressed with methodologies such as optimization, estimation, adaptation, fuzzy control, games control, robust stability, distributed control, hybrid control. For instance, recently, there has been a surge in research activities that utilize optimization techniques to analysis and design wireless networks. The purpose of this special issue is to bring research papers addressing the theme of control and optimization for wireless networks. Subject areas of interest include, but not limited to, the following: *Applications of control theory to wireless network problems *Admission control, power control, and congestion control of wireless networks *Control system design base on wireless networks *Network utility maximization for wireless networks *Allocation of wireless network resources such as bandwidth, rate, or power *Optimization-based models of network traffic and topology *Digital communications signal processing algorithms via optimization methods *Cross-layer design through nonlinear optimization decomposition *Modeling and performance evaluations for wireless networks Submission Format: The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focus on sensor nodes that are deployed in static, pre-determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and with packet forwarding that take place in multiple hops to sinks where storage and analysis takes place. The next step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all possible forms. Thus we need to consider the mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and of actuators as well as the mobility of the applications and their software. This extension towards represents a recent research subject in sensor networking that opens up a new research opportunities and challenges, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This Special Issue therefore aims at identifying the benefits and challenges raised by mobility in WSNs, addressing the state of the art and advances in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor-actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Topology coverage and connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - MAC protocols and QoS provisioning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data aggregation, fusion and dissemination techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Synchronization and scheduling issues in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Security, trust and privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation, evaluation and validation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications, testbeds and deployment experiences Submission: The submitted papers must be written in correct and grammatical English and should describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

Please, disseminate it to your colleagues that could be interested. ------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers First International Workshop on Advances in Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks - AWSAN'10 URL: http://www.kt.agh.edu.pl/~brus/awsan10/ to be held in conjunction with: 6th IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications - WiMob 2010 http://conferences.computer.org/wimob2010/ Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, 12th of October 2010 Wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs), as a scientific topic, are currently the subject of intensive world-wide research activities. The sensor technology promises multiple applications: from monitoring an environment in dangerous regions or enemy forces in a battlefield to controlling traffic in streets, inventory in storehouses and tracking patients in hospitals. On the one hand, small and cheap sensing devices create possibilities for gathering huge amounts of data in a non-intrusive way. On the other hand, actuators add a new network dimension and capabilities: the whole system can also react to the forthcoming events. Still, there are crucial questions which are not answered. Could we design a low-cost sensor technology which enables its massive and pervasive application? Could WSANs be really independent and intelligent systems performing their tasks autonomously without any external control? The goal of this workshop is to gather people from academia and industry and discuss the most emerging issues and future challenges in the area of WSANs. The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: * Low cost, low-complexity, low-price sensor technology * Collaborative and distributed schemes * Self-organized networks * Biologically inspired WSANs * Localization and positioning algorithms * Routing and MAC protocols * Target detection, identification and tracking * Cross layer issues * Network coverage, connectivity, topology, deployment of nodes * Scalability, robustness, energy efficiency issues * Data aggregation schemes * Reliability, self-healing and recovery procedures * Monitoring and surveillance systems * Security and privacy issues * Mobile sensor and actuator networks * Dynamic network topologies * Sensor networks modelling and simulations * Prototypes, test-beds and field measurements * Sensor network applications Paper submission: Authors are kindly invited to submit the manuscripts prepared according to IEEE submission guidelines and not exceeding 8 pages.

Call for papers: IJARAS Vo.2 No.3 (International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems)
by Vincenzo De Florio 13 May '10

13 May '10

Dear Sirs, please let me draw your attention to the call for papers for the new issue of IJARAS – the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems: ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* *** Vol.2 No.3 *** SUBMISSION DUE DATE: June 30, 2010 International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association www.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, Ph.D. – University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgium Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS &amp; IBBT, Belgium Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy Llorenç Cerdà-Alabern - Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Spain Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland Konrad Klöckner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS: Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction – a thesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * “Self-*” systems. SUBMITTING TO IJARAS: Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished articles will be considered. INTERESTED AUTHORS MUST CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.p… PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. All article submissions will be forwarded to at least 3 members of the Editorial Review Board of the journal for double-blind, peer review. Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers. All submissions must be forwarded electronically to vincenzo dot deflorio at ua dot ac dot be.

The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. Scope Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: * Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management * Quality of services (QoS) delivery * Seamless Mobility * Robust and scalable routing protocols * MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover * Self-configuration and synchronization * Security * Topology control and management * Mobility models and location management * Cross-layer design and interactions * Modeling and performance evaluation * Algorithms for localization and signal processing * Implementation testbeds * Operating systems and middleware Organisers * Mieso Denko, University of Guelph, Canada * Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany * Anup Kumar, University of Louisville, USA Important Dates * Submission due: July 2, 2010 (Friday) * Decision notification due: August 13, 2010 (Friday) * Camera-ready and registration due: Aug 31, 2010 (Tuesday) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC (Journal on Selected Areas in Communications) Special Issue: Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers Datum: Fri, 7 May 2010 09:13:13 -0400 Von: zp <zugzwangphilly(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers Remote control, media streaming, and interactive multimedia applications are becoming increasingly prevalent uses of the Internet and cellular networks. Because these applications require high rate and low latency, they are not well matched to best effort statistically multiplexed network architectures. In order to efficiently and reliably deliver such low latency high rate services, it is necessary to understand the fundamental and practical tradeoffs between rate and delay for network communication. This special issue solicits original research utilizing a broad spectrum of technical approaches to manage rate and delay at the application and transport layers, including i) information theoretic limits, ii) the design of source and network coding schemes, iii) queueing theoretic models and network control, and iv) protocol design, implementation, and performance evaluation. Information theoretic approaches may involve error exponent and/or unequal erasure protection schemes as well as new theoretical analyses of multiresolution and multiple description source coding. Coding approaches to the problem include the use of fountain codes, practical multiple description source code design, delay aware network coding, and hybrid network coding ARQ schemes. Network control approaches may incorporate the queueing theoretic and/or network utility maximization paradigms. Solutions that focus on architectural (e.g., DiffServ and IntServ) and protocol (e.g., RTMP) design as well as practical deployment issues are also encouraged. Approaches which focus on the relationship between rate and delay over a single link are explicitly excluded from the scope, as the issue will focus on end to end multi-link and overlay approaches. Relevant tools and techniques include: *Network coding *Overlay networks *Queueing based performance analysis *Controlled queues *Fountain codes *Multi-resolution and multiple description source codes *Error exponents *Network utility maximization *Multiclass architectures (e.g., DiffServ, IntServ) *Multimedia protocol solutions (e.g., RTMP) *Streaming and live streaming multimedia/data *Multicast *P2P streaming and live streaming *TCP-friendly approaches All submissions should be prepared in a manner consistent with the JSAC guidelines available at www.jsac.ucsd.edu/guidelines/info.html, and should be submitted via email to rdTradeSpecIss(a)gmail.com. Submission deadline: July 1, 2010 Acceptance notification: November 1, 2010 Final manuscript due to COMSOC: January 1, 2011 Publication: 2nd quarter 2011 Guest Editors: Jaudelice de Oliveira (Drexel University) Atilla Eryilmaz (Ohio State University) Muriel Medard (MIT) John MacLaren Walsh (Drexel University) Steven Weber (Drexel University) Lizhong Zheng (MIT) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Continuing the HotNets tradition, the workshop will provide a venue for presenting and discussing innovative ideas that have the potential to significantly influence the community. The goal is to promote community-wide discussion of those ideas. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit short position papers describing such ideas. A paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose new evaluation methodologies. We especially encourage submissions of early-stage work and enticing but unproven ideas. Once fully developed and evaluated, the work may be relevant to conferences such as SIGCOMM, SOSP, SenSys, NSDI, MobiCom, PODC, or Infocom. HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This view includes new ideas relating to (but not limited to) home and enterprise networks, ISP networks, sensor and personal area networks, wireless and acoustic networks, data center networks, peer-to-peer networks, network architecture, and disruption-tolerant networks. It encompasses all aspects of such networks, including (but not limited to) resource management, economics and evolution, robustness and security, mobility, interactions with applications, energy, measurement and diagnosis, and hardware. Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and a workshop summary will be published in ACM SIGCOMM's Computer Communication Review (CCR), widely disseminating the ideas discussed at the workshop. Workshop Participation HotNets is an invitation-only workshop. To ensure an interactive atmosphere, attendance will be limited to around 60 people. Invitations will be extended per the following priorities: * one author per accepted paper, any speakers invited by the Program Committee, and the Program and Steering Committees, * co-authors of accepted and submitted papers, preferring students as available travel support allows, and * event-sponsor representatives and additional authors of submitted papers at the discretion of the Program Committee.
