-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) Datum: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 08:30:00 -0500 Von: conference-services(a)ieee.org Antwort an: j.gozalvez(a)umh.es An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Referenzen: <A1259786566198113837.wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> To: Members of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) === Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the successful first and second WiVeC editions in 2007 and 2008, the third IEEE WiVeC symposium will be co-located with the 71th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2010 Spring conference, and will take place at the Grand Hotel in Taipei on the 16th and 17th of May 2010. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVeC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2010-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVeC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVeC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVeC edition in 2009. Topics of interest ------------------ The WiVec Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models. * Radio resource management and interference management. * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations. * Architecture, networking protocols (including ad-hoc, routing, data dissemination, etc) and their evalutation. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design. * Communications systems and technologies. * Testbeds and simulation platforms. * Interworking with sensor network technologies. * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications. * Roadside infrastructure. * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models. * Digital maps and location technologies. * Decision and control issues. * Human-Machine Interface. * Applications (Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless diagnosis etc.). * Security, liability and privacy. * Standards development, business models, policies (e.g., Cooperative aspects of vehicular communication). * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety. * Scalability issues in metropolitan-wide vehicular networks. Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/ Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline: 24 December 2009 Notification of acceptance: 25 January 2010 Camera-ready papers due: 15 February 2010 ================================================================================ You have received this mailing because you are a member of IEEE and/or one of the IEEE Technical Societies.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] Erinnerung: 3. Fachgespräch Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden Datum: Sun, 06 Dec 2009 13:20:34 +0100 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de> An: elg(a)nets.rwth-aachen.de Liebe Kollegen, wir moechten auf die Einreichungsfrist fuer das 3. Fachgespraech Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden hinweisen: 15.12.2009 Wir werden dieses Fachgespräch im Rahmen eines Workshops der ARCS organisieren, d.h. die Beitraege werden auch im Tagungsband veröffentlicht (und bei IEEE gelistet, die ARCS Organisatoren arbeiten an diesem Thema). Das Fachgespraech wird - in alter FG-Manier - am Nachmittag des 22.2. beginnen und am 23.2. vormittags fortgesetzt. So bleibt die Moeglichkeit, im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Abendessens offene Fragen zu diskutieren und unsere Doktoranden koennen sich in lockerer Umgebung untereinander und mit erfahreneren Professoren vernetzen. Das Fachgespräch ist grundsaetzlich als lockeres Diskussionsforum gedacht. Wir hoffen auf zahlreiche Beitraege aus Ihren Reihen und nat. auf aktive Teilnahme, nicht nur von Doktoranden, sondern auch von erfahreneren Teilnehmern, die sich in die Diskussion einbringen wollen und koennen. Viele Gruesse, Frank Bellosa, Falko Dressler und Dirk Timmermann ------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS GI/ITG Workshop on Energy-aware Systems and Methods held in conjunction with ARCS 2010 - Architecture of Computing Systems February 22-23, 2010; Hannover, Germany <http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/fg-energie/2010/> ------------------------------------------------------------------- Aims and scope -------------- Energy is considered a critical or even the most critical resource in many computing systems. Applications comprise a wide range of system capabilities including cloud computing, mobile laptops or PDAs, as well as cell phones, sensor networks, and deeply embedded devices. Thus, for functional and ecological reasons energy awareness and energy-aware operation are fundamental demands for any system. In recent years, a new research domain was established as an interdisciplinary field among different areas of computer science (e.g., operating systems and computer networks) and electrical engineering (e.g., wireless communication and chip design). Based on findings in the field of energy-aware systems and methods, novel application scenarios can be envisioned encompassing even stronger requirements on reliability, resilience, lifetime, adaptability, and self-organization. This workshop aims to provide a forum to discuss recent results in the field of energy-awareness that is a cross-cutting concern in many areas in systems research. Based on intensive discussions of energy-critical issues in the different layers and the different approaches to energy-aware system design, the participants will be able to study energy-related problems from multiple perspectives and to look into the complex interactions among those layers. We especially encourage PhD students to participate, to share their ideas and findings, and to network with other fellows working in the same field. Topics of interest ------------------ Whereas the workshop mainly focuses on energy-aware systems and methods, contributions are favored that span all the related fields of study. This includes the following aspects: - Operating system support - Communication methods - Protocol engineering - Simulation techniques - Cross-layer design of energy-aware systems - Application and hardware support for energy-aware operation Organization ------------ The workshop is organized as a follow-up to the successful “GI/ITG Fachgespräch” on energy-aware systems and methods. Key organizers are Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), PD Dr. Falko Dressler (University of Erlangen), and Prof. Dr. Dirk Timmermann (University of Rostock). Important dates --------------- • December 15, 2009: Paper submission deadline. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. • January 15, 2009: Notification of acceptance • January 20, 2010: Final paper submission • February 22/23, 2010: Workshop Submissions ----------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration else-where. Page limit for accepted papers (in English) is 10 pages; the submission of short papers is also encouraged. Accepted papers will be published at the VDE publishing house, and will go to IEEE library (pending), and will also receive an ISBN number. -- PD Dr. Falko Dressler Computer Networks and Communication Systems University of Erlangen, Germany Phone: +49 9131 85-27914 / Fax: +49 9131 85-27409 mailto:dressler@informatik.uni-erlangen.de http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/ _______________________________________________ ELG mailing list ELG(a)nets.rwth-aachen.de http://mail-i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/elg

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: First International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing Datum: Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:43:33 -0600 Von: Kui Ren <kren2(a)iit.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CFP: First International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing http://www.ece.iit.edu/~ubisec/workshop.htm To be held in conjuction with IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2010) Cloud computing has recently emerged as a new information technology infrastructure. In cloud computing, information is permanently stored in large data centers on the Internet and temporarily accessed and cached on clients that include desktops and portable PCs, sensors, etc. With the "cloud" as a metaphor for the Internet, cloud computing promises to deliver massively scalable IT-enabled data, software, and hardware capabilities as a service to external clients using Internet technologies. Cloud computing has been envisioned as the key technology to achieve economies of scale in the deployment and operation of IT solutions. Cloud computing has unique attributes that raise many security and privacy challenges in areas such as data security, recovery, and privacy, as well as legal issues in areas such as regulatory compliance and auditing. In contrast to traditional enterprise IT solutions, where the IT services are under proper physical, logical and personnel controls, cloud computing moves the application software and databases to the servers in large data centers on the Internet, where the management of the data and services are not fully trustworthy. When clients store their data on the server without themselves possessing a copy of it, how the integrity of the data can be ensured if the server is not fully trustworthy? Will encryption solve the data confidentiality problem of sensitive data? How will encryption affect dynamic data operations such as query, insertion, modification, and deletion? Data in the cloud is typically in a shared environment alongside data from other clients. How the data segregation should be done, while data are stored, executed, and transmitted? How the virtulized resources is being managed and secured in the cloud? Due to the fundamental paradigm shift in cloud computing, many security concerns have to be better understood, unanticipated vulnerabilities identified, and viable solutions to critical threats devised, before the wide deployment of cloud computing techniques can take place. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following subject categories: Secure management of virtualized cloud resources Secure network architecture for cloud computing Joint security and privacy aware cloud protocol design Access control and key management Trust and policy management in clouds Identification and privacy in cloud Remote data integrity protection Secure computation outsourcing Dynamic data operation security Software and data segregation security Failure detection and prediction Secure data management within and across data centers Availability, recovery and auditing Secure wireless cloud Both regular research papers and position papers that define new problems in cloud computing security or provide visions and clarifications of cloud computing security are solicited. Additionally, short papers that describe work-in-progress ideas are also welcome. Time Table Manuscript submission: January 22, 2010 Acceptance notification: Feburary 28, 2010 Final Manuscript due: March 15, 2010 Paper Submission Form of Manucript: All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format. Each submission can have 10 pages plus up to 2 over-length pages. If the paper is accepted for publication, an over- length fee will be charged to each of the over-length pages, at $200 per page in the final camera-ready version.

My apologies for the cross posting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *ONIT 2010 @ TRIDENTCOM 2010* *2nd Open NGN and IMS Testbeds Workshop* *May 18th, 2010, Berlin, Germany www.onit-ws.org* ** The Open NGN and IMS workshop 2010 (ONIT 2010) will give insights into the state of the art concerning open NGN/NGMN and IMS testbeds at an international scale. The workshop will be held in conjunction with TRIDENTCOM 2010, the 6th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks and Communities. The objective is to evaluate and share the experience on the quality and impact of such testbeds in order to improve current offerings and position them for future challenges. Especially, the role of open source software for NGN/NGMN testbeds, as well as how such software and infrastructures can be provided in line with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). Also in scope will be the latest developments into standardization and research on topics related to NGN/NGMN, like the integration between IMS and new all-IP converged network technologies as EPC based networks, with special insight on how cost-effective and accelerated R&D can happen on traditionally difficult fields with the help of open testbeds. The workshop will feature invited keynotes presenting international NGN/NGMN and IMS testbed initiatives. Scientific papers will concentrate on academic aspects of testbeds of NGN and IMS as well as deployment, access, management, and governance issues. *Areas of Interest include but are not limited to:* · *Open Source IMS/NGN components and core development * § Open Source software as a driver for cost efficient testbeds § Using and enhancing Open Source software in a telecom environment § Solving Common-IMS convergence issues with open source components and testbeds · *NGN/IPTV/IMS testbeds interconnection and converged services * § NGN testbed and interconnections § NGN based IPTV and NGN multimedia/converged services § IPTV hybrid services (IPTV and DVB-H interworking) § Service development, End-user design services and testbeds, i.e. LivingLabs · *Security in Next generation systems & Service-oriented techniques * § Advances in NGN/NGMN IMS, EPC and SOA testbeds § Advances in SIP, Diameter and other NGN relevant protocol standardization and components · *Web 2.0 * § Intelligent terminals, new user interfaces and Web2.0 capabilities § Semantic Web services § Web TV versus Internet TV and P2P video streaming § Internet TV services delivery on a multi-platform basis (TV set, mobile device, PC, ...) · *Evolutions in Service Delivery Platforms and their integration to IMS * § IaaS and SaaS concepts for testbeds and testing outsourcing § SOA principles applied to testbeds § Web 2.0 applications and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems) § Service Provisioning Platforms & Service Roaming · *Testbed management & Operational aspects* § Virtualization for testbeds § Deployment and governance issues in testbeds § Resource description and data models for testbeds § Semantic description techniques and ontologies in the testbed domain *Organizing **Committee* * * *Dragos Vingarzan - *Fraunhofer FOKUS *Hassnaa Moustafa - *France Telecom *Eugen Mikoczy - *Slovak Telekom *Important dates* *December 17th, 2009 *Submisssion deadline *January 15th, 2010 *Notification of acceptance *February 15th, 2010 *Submission of camera-ready papers* * *May 18th, 2010 *Workshop program* * _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
