-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] HeterWNN2010 @ Globecom 2010: With Special Journal Issue Datum: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:04:15 +0100 Von: Waltenegus Dargie <waltenegus.dargie(a)tu-dresden.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, tccc-bounces(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu IEEE HeterWMN 2010 with Special Journal Issue @ IEEE Globecom 2010 5th IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks (HeterWMN 2010) http://www.rn.inf.tu-dresden.de/hwn/2010/hwm/index.html http://www.comsoc.org/confs/globecom/2010/ Extended versions of High quality papers will be considered for publication in the Journal of Network and Computer Applications (Elsevier) <http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/622893/descrip…> ---call for paper--- The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are mainly based on single-hop architecture and rely on fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. 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 We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks.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

Deadline Extended to March 26, 2010 ----------------------------------- Call For Submissions A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services June 15, 2010 San Francisco, CA USA http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~dlmccoy/mobisysforum10/ Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2010 ----------------------------------- Overview: The PhD Forum provides a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Travel Grants: MobiSys 2010 is pleased to provide travel support to selected US based graduate students to broaden the participation in our main conference and workshops. Travel support will provide up to $1000 per student to help cover the cost of the student's travel, lodging, meals, and conference registration fees. We encourage the participation from women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities. Preference will be given to PhD Forum participants and presenters at the main conference but we will also seriously consider applications from presenters of posters, demos, or papers at other MobiSys 2010 workshops. Travel support is made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Awards: $500 will be awarded for the best presentation at the forum. Format: This year's PhD Forum will be a one-day event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number of participants to no more than 10 presenters. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group. Submission: Submissions should consist of the following 1. An extended abstract of the student's dissertation research (up to 2 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, a clear delineation of prior work and proposed work, will help the panel provide more useful suggestions. 2. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. Authors should follow the style formatting guidelines for MobiSys papers. Submissions should be sent in PDF format to mobisys.phdforum.2010(a)gmail.com. If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 26, 2010 Notification deadline: April 9, 2010 Camera ready deadline: April 23, 2010 Event date: June 15, 2010 Panelists: Rajesh Balan, Singapore Management University Philip Levis, Stanford University David Wetherall, University of Washington Additional Panelist TBD Organizers: General Chairs: Damon McCoy, UC San Diego Jeffrey Pang, AT&T Research Steering Committee Chair: Jacob Sorber, UMass-Amherst Program Chairs: Aruna Balasubramanian, UMass-Amherst Iqbal Mohomed, Microsoft Reseach Program Committee: Michael Buettner, University of Washington Aveek Dutta - University of Colorado-Boulder Daniel Halperin - University of Washington Dongsu Han - Carnegie Mellon University Bryan Parno - Carnegie Mellon University Patrick D.

Fwd: [Tccc] Fw: CFP: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series
by Lars Wolf 14 Mar '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Fw: CFP: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:42:31 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ... Forwarding on behalf of Ying-Dar Lin: Xiaoming --------------------------------- 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: a.. Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, and stability b.. 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 c.. Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes d.. Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services e.. Network lab testing and field testing f.. Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds g.. Evaluating false positive and negative of network security h.. 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: Submission Deadline: June 1, 2010 Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2008 Final Manuscript Submission: November 1, 2010 Next Publication Date: January 2011 Schedule for Subsequent Issues: 2~3 issues per year with submissions at any time 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 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: LOCALGOS 2010, Papers Due March 21st Datum: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:35:18 -0800 Von: Ben Zhao <ravenben(a)cs.ucsb.edu> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Following three successful events in 2007, 2008 and 2009, the 4th International Workshop on Localized Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (LOCALGOS 2010) aims to cover comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. This workshop concentrates on such network layer problems as data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed approaches where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on various aspects of localized algorithms and protocols in this rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: GreenMetrics 2010 Workshop (in conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2010) Datum: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:50:02 -0700 (MST) Von: Niklas Carlsson <ncarlsso(a)cpsc.ucalgary.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call For Papers: GreenMetrics 2010 Workshop Monday June 14, 2010 Columbia University, New York, NY In conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2010 Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS Global climate change is a topic of increasing importance in modern society. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how improvements to or new uses of ICT can reduce the environmental impact of ICT and non-ICT processes. The workshop will provide a forum for discussions on methods to reduce the environmental impact of ICT systems, networks and applications. The workshop will also provide an opportunity to explore how ICT applications or services can reduce the environmental impact of existing non-ICT processes (e.g., quantify the reduction in carbon emissions from using tele-presence services instead of travel). This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from the (traditional) SIGMETRICS community with researchers and practitioners in relevant areas, to exchange technical ideas and experiences on how to lessen the environmental impact of ICT. Improvements should be quantified in terms of sustainability metrics such as reductions in carbon emissions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Improvements in sustainability should ideally also demonstrate that acceptable Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be maintained. This workshop will serve as a forum for the SIGMETRICS community to apply general measurement, analysis and modeling techniques to this important area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Measurement and evaluation of the sustainability of existing ICT systems * Definition and demonstration of useful sustainability metrics * Methods that systematically improve the efficiency of existing ICT systems * Tools that facilitate the design of more sustainable ICT systems * Development of models that pertain to the sustainability of ICT systems * Case studies of efforts to improve the sustainability of production ICT systems * Use of ICT systems to improve the sustainability of existing non-ICT processes In all of the above topics, "ICT systems" includes applications and services supported by ICT infrastructure. We believe that it is important to provide a medium for researchers and organizations to share insights and lessons learned as steps are taken towards improving sustainability, and strongly encourage submissions presenting research involving large-scale ICT systems such as entire data centers or enterprise-scale applications. An award will be presented for the best student paper. Important Dates: - Monday May 3, 2010: Paper Submission (hard deadline) - Monday May 17, 2010: Author Notification - Monday May 31, 2010: Final Versions Due - Monday June 14, 2010: Workshop Submission Guidelines: Papers must not exceed five double-column pages in the standard ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submissions must be submitted electronically in printable PDF form, via the EDAS system (http://www.edas.info/). The EDAS system requires you to register the title and abstract of your paper before you can upload the manuscript of the paper. The deadline for the final version of submissions is May 3, 2010, 23:59 EST. Submissions will be reviewed by the GreenMetrics program committee, from which a number of papers will be selected for presentation at the workshop. The accepted papers will be published in the March 2011 issue of ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (PER). Authors of accepted papers grant permission to ACM to publish the paper in PER and the ACM digital library. Authors do retain the copyright of their paper.

Westphal <cwestphal(a)docomolabs-usa.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS: VISA'10 2nd Workshop on Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures In Conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM'10, New Delhi, Aug 30th-Sept 3rd 2010 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/workshops/VISA Infrastructure virtualization has emerged as an important architecture and experimentation concept for the Internet infrastructure. The global computing and communication infrastructure will encompass (as it does today) a diverse and huge collection of networking, computing and storage resources. Together they need to form a coherent infrastructure and meet our society's requirements for the 21st century. There are many technical problems to solve to enable Infrastructure virtualization: how to discover, create and manage an infrastructure slice across diverse resources; how does virtualization extend into the data center or to the wireless edge; how to implement virtualization across heterogeneous resources and protocols; how to map an application or service to run on an infrastructure slice; what applications and capabilities are enabled by infrastructure virtualization; how does infrastructure virtualization impact the business models of network operators; and others. The goal of the workshop is to feature recent research and developments related to infrastructure virtualization; to allow exchange of ideas; and to help build a research and user community to explore and help realize the potential of infrastructure virtualization. We encourage the submission of position papers and of works which encompass the whole infrastructure virtualization (network and storage and computing resources). We solicit previously unpublished work on the following, non exhaustive, list of topics: TOPICS OF INTEREST - Infrastructure virtualization architecture; - Resource allocation to virtual slices; - Impact of infrastructure virtualization on the data center; - Management tools for infrastructure virtualization; - How can infrastructure virtualization enable or support cloud computing; - Isolation and slice independence in a virtualized infrastructure; - Integration of the wireless edge into a virtualized network; - Inter-operability and federation of virtualized infrastructures; - Cross-layer protocols for virtualized networks; - Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure; and - Security issues with virtualized infrastructure.

Please redistribute within your own group or among colleagues, thank you!] CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------- IEEE Pervasive Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Computing for Smart Energy Systems www.computer.org/PERVASIVE Important Dates: ----------------------------------- Submission Deadline: 1 Apr. 2010 Publication: Oct. - Dec. 2011 Description: ----------------------------------- Occupants of near-future buildings won’t necessarily be able to flip a light switch or adjust a thermostat to control building utilities. There may well be too many devices to easily control with direct “switches;” instead, they'll need to be driven by inferred intention or simple, intuitive, collective control. More crucially, as about 40 percent of the energy used in the US and most developed economies tends to be consumed in built infrastructure, energy conservation concerns will pull our hand off the dial as environments regulate themselves to accommodate occupants' objectives and best tend to their comfort while minimizing energy consumption. Accordingly, smart energy systems will be a strong application area of pervasive computing, as user state, behavior and context are measured, inferred, and leveraged across a variety of domains, environments, sensors, and actuators to dynamically mitigate energy usage. IEEE Pervasive Computing welcomes submissions on all aspects of smart energy systems relevant to our field, including, for example: * interactive systems for energy management; * dynamically adaptive energy management; * minimally invasive energy management systems (those that are simple, unobtrusive, easy-to-use, intuitive, and self-configuring); * engaging wearable and mobile devices in dynamic energy management; * wearable and sensed-infrastructure control of heating and lighting; * sensor networks for energy monitoring and control; * optimal collective management of diverse energy sources in living environments; * energy management in smart buildings; * unified energy management across home, office, and mobile contexts; * determining and utilizing user context in regulating energy; * persuasive computing to encourage users to minimize energy use; * exploiting social computing or game-like environments to encourage energy frugality; * utilizing diverse media to expose real-time and integrated energy consumption to users; * user interfaces to integrated and/or distributed smart energy systems; * smart grids in relation to pervasive computing; * smart integration of distributed, scalable, and affordable energy storage across appliances, buildings, and vehicles; * security, privacy, and policy in pervasive energy systems; * nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) and nonintrusive appliance load monitoring (NALM) techniques; and * hardware and/or software systems to enable pervasive smart energy environments and applications. In addition to feature-length articles, IEEE Pervasive Computing invites work-in-progress submissions of 250 words or less. Submit a WiPs report on your project to pvcwips(a)computer.org. Special Issue Guest Editors: ----------------------------------- * Joe Paradiso, MIT Media Lab, joep(a)media.mit.edu * Eve Schooler, Intel Research, eve.m.schooler(a)intel.com * Prabal Dutta, University of Michigan, prabal(a)eecs.umich.edu * Hans Gellersen, Lancaster University, hwg(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk Submission Guidelines: ----------------------------------- www.computer.org/pervasive/author.htm Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the magazine’s guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific publications, and will be edited according to the IEEE Computer Society editorial style. Submissions should be received by 1 April 2010 to receive full consideration.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] SASO 2010: Call for Papers, Posters, Tutorials, Workshops Datum: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:37:03 +0100 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: KUVS-L <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE>, ELG KUVS <elg(a)kuvs.de>, gi3abs-l <gi3abs-l(a)listserv.uni-heidelberg.de>, mmb(a)ira.uka.de SASO 2010 Fourth IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Budapest, Hungary, September 27-October 1, 2010 http://www.saso-conference.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Important Dates Abstract submission: April 19, 2010 Paper submission: April 26, 2010 Notification: June 28, 2010 Camera ready version of accepted papers: July 19, 2010 Early registration deadline: August 13, 2010 The aim of the SASO conference series is to provide a forum for the foundations of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks and services based on self-adaptation and self-organization. To this end, the meeting aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications. The complexity of current and emerging computing systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated facets of a paradigm shift. The fourth edition of the SASO conference encourages submissions in both traditional themes of self-adaptivity and self-organization, as well as in emerging areas. Some of these new areas include (but are not limited to) Internet-enabled applications, cloud computing, social-networking, and the Internet of Things. These are enabling radically new and innovative services that will play an increasingly important role in society, business, and our day to day lives. The success of both new as well as traditional research areas ultimately depends on robust self-* hardware, software, networking, and services. Self-adaptive systems work in a top down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible. A challenge is often to identify how to change specific behaviors to achieve the desired improvement. Self-organizing systems work bottom up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to typically simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions. Here, a challenge is often to predict and control the resulting global behavior. Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. Topics The topics of interest to SASO include, but are not limited to: * Applications and experiences with self-* systems * Design and engineering for self-* systems (self-organization, self-adaptation, self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc.) * Management and control of self-* systems * Robustness and dependability of self-* systems * Control of emergent properties in self-* systems * Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems * Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems Submission Instructions All submissions should be 10 pages and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and submitted electronically in pdf format. Please register as authors and submit your papers using the SASO 2010 conference management system <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2010>. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE digital library. A separate call for poster submissions will be launched during March 2010. Review Criteria Papers should present novel ideas in the topic domains listed above, clearly motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. We expect claims of contribution to be clearly stated and substantiated by formal analysis, experimental evaluations, comparative studies, and so on. Appropriate reference must be made to related work. Authors are also encouraged to submit application papers. Application papers are expected to provide an indication of the real world relevance of the problem that is solved, including a description of the deployment domain, and some form of evaluation of performance, usability, or superiority to alternative approaches. If the application is still early work in progress, then the authors are expected to provide strong arguments as to why the proposed approach will work in the chosen domain.

Poster sessions are informal and highly interactive, and allow authors and interested participants to engage one another in in-depth discussions about the presented research work. Posters should cover the same key areas as Research Papers. Submissions in the following areas are particularly encouraged: * Self-organization * Self-adaptation * Other self-* properties (self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc.) * Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems * Management and control of self-* systems * Robustness and dependability of self-* systems * Approaches to engineering self-* systems * Control of emergent properties in self-* systems * Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems * Applications and experiences with self-* systems Submission Process For evaluation and selection, authors should submit an extended, two-pages abstract of their poster. The format of the extended abstract must comply with the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. Authors' submissions should be in pdf format. Submissions will be managed through the SASO 2010 conference management system <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2010>, similar to full papers. Poster authors should use the *poster track* for their submissions. Accepted Posters If selected, authors shall prepare a final, camera ready version of the extended abstract, taking into account all feedback from reviewers, and in a format compliant with the IEEE paper format for the conference (see the SASO 2010 <http://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/saso10/> web site for instructions). Posters are advertised in the Final Program, and authors' two-page extended abstracts will appear in the SASO 2010 Conference Proceedings, which will be distributed at SASO 2010. Poster Content All posters should include the following information: * The purpose and the goals of the work. * Any background and motivation needed to understand the work as well as any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie the work. * A clear summary of the contribution and/or results, in sufficient detail for a viewer to understand the work and its relevance. If the work is at an initial stage, it is especially important to state clearly the anticipated contributions and any early results towards them. * The relationship to other related efforts, where appropriate. Authors of accepted posters may be asked to point out relationships to work represented by other accepted posters. * Where to find additional information. This should include but is not restricted to: o a web site where viewers can go to find additional information about the work o how to contact the authors, including email addresses o citations for any papers, books, or other materials that provide additional information Poster Layout Guidelines The format of posters and the nature of poster sessions require authors to capture the viewers' attention effectively, and present the main traits that can help understand the context of their research work efficiently. For this reason, graphic representations, figures, and screen shots are typically the main medium of communication in successful posters.Few attendees will stop to read a large poster with dense text. If you use screen shots, please ensure that the shots print legibly and that the fonts are large enough to be read comfortably once they are placed on paper. Attendance At least one of the poster authors is required to register at the conference. She is required to give a brief presentation of the poster in the interactive poster session, and to stay with the poster so that she can discuss the work with conference attendees, for the duration of the scheduled poster sessions. For More Information For additional information, clarification, or questions, please contact the Posters Co-Chairs: Hartmut Schmeck <mailto:hartmut.schmeck@kit.edu> and Giuseppe (Peppo) Valetto <mailto:valetto@cs.drexel.edu> Poster Chairs Hartmut Schmeck <http://www.aifb.kit.edu/web/Hartmut_Schmeck/en>, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Giuseppe (Peppo) Valetto <http://www.cs.drexel.edu/%7Evaletto/>, Drexel University, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Call for Tutorials* *Important Dates* Proposal submission deadline: May 14, 2010 Acceptance notification: June 11, 2010 Notes submission deadline: July 28, 2010 Tutorial presentations: Sept 27 - Oct 1, 2010 Early registration deadline: August 13, 2010 *Scope* The SASO-2010 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held in association with the conference. SASO is a highly successful conference series which aims to bring together diverse communities working on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems to discuss new results and upcoming trends in this exciting area. The tutorial program has been initiated to support this aim. Tutorials should address one or more of the following objectives: * Introduce a major topic area of SASO research. * Survey a significant application / technology area of SASO. * Explain an area of SASO research relevant to industry. * Overview a particular approach or methodology for SASO work. * Highlight emerging SASO topics and techniques. * Explain SASO ideas originating from one community but applicable to others. For a guide on what topic areas, technologies and communities fall within the SASO focus refer to the Call for Papers, available on the conference website. It is not expected that tutorials will cover specific topics or techniques that are already covered in existing textbooks. For example, a tutorial on "genetic algorithms" would not be accepted.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] special issue Elsevier PMC journal - Qos and Service Provisioning for Integrated Wireless Networks Datum: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 14:53:37 +0200 Von: Anagnostopoulos Ioannis <janag(a)aegean.gr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email] Call for Papers Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Qos and Service Provisioning for Integrated Wireless Networks Guest Editors: Dr. I. Anagnostopoulos, Assist. Prof I. Tinnirello, Prof. C. Douligeris Scope In recent years, the increased demand for all types of wireless services, as well as the increasing number of users in the wireless networks have led to the development of different wireless technologies, such as 3G networks, WLAN, WiMAX etc, with different advantages and disadvantages in terms of coverage, bandwidth, QoS, cost and mobility. Wireless users can only benefit from the integration of these heterogeneous technologies. More specifically, the integration of wireless networks offers a wide variety of services and gives the user the possibility to roam from the one network by only using a single terminal. The vision of “anytime, anywhere” communications is too close to become a reality, bringing benefits to both end users and service providers. However, besides of the benefits, the integration of the wireless and mobile networks imposes also great challenges as well. The goal of this special issue is to publish original research and review articles which should be comprehensive to all readers, regardless of their speciality. This special issue will be focused on issues concerning service and pricing models in integrated wireless networks. In particular we are interested in tutorial, survey and original research articles on, but not limited to the following topics: • Innovative Interworking architectures and scenarios in Integrated Wireless Networks • QoS and Service Provisioning • Business Modeling Tools • Unified accounting, billing and standards • Pricing models for Integrated Wireless Networks • TCP/IP services over Integrated Wireless Networks • Cost Estimation Mechanisms in Integrated Wireless Networks • Applications, Services and Service Convergence • Business and QoS SLA Parameters in Integrated Wireless Networks • Personalized and User-Oriented Services • Pricing and Subscription Database Techniques • Pricing Differentiated Services Manuscript Submission Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://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 (with at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, it is important that authors select “QoS for Integrated Wireless Networks” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: March 31, 2010 Notifications: September 1, 2010 (this includes two rounds of reviews) Final Manuscripts Due: October 1, 2010 Special Issue: May 2011 Guest Editors’ Affiliation Dr. Ioannis E.

HINDAWI AHCI CfP: Special Issue on Subliminal Communication in HCI

09 Mar '10

HINDAWI ADVANCES IN HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION (AHCI) JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE ON SUBLIMINAL COMMUNICATION IN HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** Human- and computer-based interactions are ubiquitous in our everyday lives - everything from our mobiles, iPods, to a variety of computer systems creates serious cognitive demands when switching from one to the next. When used simultaneously, extra cognitive demands are placed on us and the likelihood of success is dependent upon our ability to apportion attention to multiple tasks simultaneously. To alleviate the cognitive load associated with interacting with varied computing-based devices, common UIs and modes of operation should be implemented, significantly reducing the amount of information we must store and recall. In addition, subtle cues could be emitted from the device to assist us during our interactions, prompting us toward the appropriate action required to effectively complete a task. These cues could be delivered in a variety of (communication channels), for instance, visual or auditory cues could be provided according to the specific nature of the current activity. In order to implement these features, UIs must be provided with the means to detect the nature of the current interaction set, rovide the subliminal cues across appropriate channels, and evaluate their success. This approach would benefit from a significant collaborative effort from a range of disciplines: engineering, neuroscience, computer science, psychophysiology, and related fields. The result of this approach provides exciting challenges which will significantly impact society at large, making significant contributions toward a more natural, convenient, and even relaxing future human-computer interface. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Compatibility of subliminal information transmission with other demands and conditions in the field of HCI - Limits of reproducibility - Influence in interaction with further explicit channels - Impact of subliminally delivered information on the cognitive load - Subliminally delivered information and the level of distraction - Subliminal interfaces for the automotive domain (head-up displays, vibro-tactile transducers embedded into the seat) - Basic characteristics of subliminally delivered information (reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, speed of perception) - Potential of subliminal cues to guide a person to the right course of action or to a specific emotional state - Hardware components, that is, interactive smart rooms, games with dynamic UIs - Analysis of subliminal processes, that is, implicit interaction/cognition, subliminal messaging, unconscious emotions Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ahci/guidelines.html.

For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guidelines and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE ComMag CFP: Synchronization over Ethernet and IP in Next-Generation Networks Datum: Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:34:24 +0800 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: Stefano Bregni <bregni(a)elet.polimi.it> Hi all, Below is a forwarded CFP from a colleague for your attention. Xiaoming ------------------------------------ Dear Colleagues, please find attached the *IEEE Communications Magazine CALL FOR PAPERS **Special Issue on Synchronization over Ethernet and IP in Next-Generation Networks Guest Editors Stefano Bregni, Polytechnic of Milan, Italy Ravi Subrahmanyan, National Semiconductor, USA * Network synchronization plays a central role in digital telecommunications. It determines the quality of most services provided by the network operator. Traditionally, synchronization has been distributed across telecommunications networks using the TDM links for which the networks were designed (i.e. E1 and DS1 circuits). Several fixed and mobile Operators are migrating to a next-generation network (NGN) with IP packet-switched network infrastructure. Ethernet transport is becoming increasingly commonplace. This trend is driven by prospected lower operative costs and by the convergence between fixed and mobile services. However, migrating trunk lines to IP transport poses significant technical challenges, especially for circuit emulation and synchronization of network elements. The evolution of communications networks towards packet-switching has increased interest in the distribution of synchronization using packet methods. This has a twofold impact: 1) synchronization distribution over packet networks using packet-based methods has become a focus of activity in the standards bodies (ITU-T G.8261/2/3 and IEEE 1588); 2) the traditional model, in which synchronization distribution is engineered carefully for optimal performance, may give way to scenarios in which there is a greater expectation of ad-hoc synchronization quality achieved without as much need for provisioning as has traditionally been the case similar to Ethernet plug and play. The latter point widens the scope of interest in synchronization beyond specialists to the wider audience of telecommunications engineers. A striking example is the distribution of synchronization to next-generation wireless base-stations, which are connected to the core network only via packet-switched networks, but still require highly accurate synchronization to meet service quality expectations. *Scope of contributions * The scope of the issue includes, but is not limited to the following topics of interest: - key emerging standards in the area of synchronization over packet networks; - timing scenarios in various network applications; - tutorial papers describing packet network characteristics which impact synchronization transport; - implementation challenges in achieving high-quality synchronization using the new technologies; - carrier and vendor experience in deployment; - measurement techniques for characterizing and qualifying packet-based synchronization. * **Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations are allowed). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. The number of references is recommended to not exceed 10 (maximum 15). Complete guidelines for preparation of the manuscript are posted at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html.
