ReArch'09 Workshop - Re-Architecting the Internet Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/rearch *** Extended Submission Deadline: August 13, 2009 *** Submit at: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management requirements give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regards to its original design principles. Although these developments are necessary in the short term to allow the Internet to continue to operate under the present economical, technical and social conditions, in combination, they have significantly reduced the potential for longer-term evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives are underway in Europe, the Americas and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. The first solution proposals in this space have already started to be analyzed. ReArch'09 - the second instance of this workshop since its very successful debut at CONeXT 2008 - will discuss the underlying problems of the Internet architecture and protocols and debate how we might fix them in a way that regains us the original architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'09 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, the following impact: * New networking paradigms * New business models * New routing architectures * New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms * Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify architectural limitations * New architecture proposals and their implications for research and operations * New protocols to address specific architectural limitations * Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself * Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture * Principles of evolving future architectures * Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and attempt to stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked as such. Submission must be original and not already be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be formatted according to the standard ACM double column format *except* that *all* text must use a font size of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submit papers via EDAS at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 Submission Deadline: *** August 13, 2009 *** Notification Deadline: September 10, 2009 Camera Ready Deadline: October 1, 2009 ReArch'09: December 1, 2009 Committees Workshop Co-Chairs Lars Eggert, Nokia Research Center & TKK, Finland Tilman Wolf, University of Massachusetts, USA Technical Program Committee Bengt Ahlgren, SICS, Sweden Mark Allman, ICSI, USA Bob Briscoe, BT Group, United Kingdom Brian Carpenter, University of Auckland, New Zealand Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Kevin Fall, Intel Research, USA Pierre Francois, UC Louvain, Belgium James Griffioen, University of Kentucky, USA Robert Hancock, Roke Manor Research, United Kingdom Mark Handley, University College London, United Kingdom Hiroaki Harai, NICT, Japan Daniel Massey, Colorado State University, USA Martin May, Thomson Research, France Akihiro Nakao, Univeristy of Tokyo, Japan Pekka Nikander, Ericsson Research Nomadiclab, Finland Craig Partridge, BBN Technologies, USA George Rouskas, North Carolina State University, USA Peter Steenkiste, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Christian Vogt, Ericsson Research, USA Klaus Wehrle, RWTH Aachen, Germany Rolf Winter, NEC Network Labs, Germany Martina Zitterbart, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Steering Committee Marcelo Bagnulo, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain Olivier Bonaventure, UC Louvain, Belgium Kenjiro Cho, IIJ, Japan Joe Touch, USC/ISI, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: U-NET'09 (User-provided networking) workshop, co-located with ACM CoNext Datum: Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:27:48 +0100 Von: Paulo Mendes <pmendes(a)inescporto.pt> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu (Apologies if you get this twice) ACM U-NET'09 — User-provided Networking: Challenges and Opportunities Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1st, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/unet/ *NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE*: August 13th, 2009 (U-NET web page to be updated soon) Submit at: http://edas.info/N7753 *Motivation* This workshop is dedicated to the debate of concepts, challenges, and opportunities concerning user-provided networking, i.e., scenarios where users cooperate by sharing wireless resources as well as Internet services. To provide a specific example that relates to Internet access (connectivity), the end-user (or a community of end-users) is a micro-operator in the sense that he/she shares his/her subscribed broadband Internet access based on some form of incentive scheme. In addition, the end-user may or may not provide other network functionality such as local mobility management, or persistent storage and forwarding services. This new role is disruptive in what concerns Internet service models, since there is no distinction between what is today known as end-user device and network device: in the future, end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network. In contrast, the Internet has been up to now mostly the means for end-users to obtain some form of network service, originally related to connectivity, person-to-person communication, or information retrieval. Such user-centric provider role is also disruptive given that the regular network boundaries of trust have to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior: there is the need to form networks of trust in order to accommodate a robust network growth, given that the key to such growth is the willingness to cooperate. Another disruptive aspect of user-provided networking is that due to the nature of the wireless media and the way that humans move, support for intermittent connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. Finally, and given that user-provided networking spreads dynamically having as network elements regular end-user devices, there is the need to consider cases where information is opportunistically relayed instead of routed based on topological information. Due to the disruptive aspects mentioned, user-provided networking seem to have the potential to provide a paradigm shift in Internet communication models, given that such novel functionality allow wireless networks to operate in a completely autonomic way and also given that the end-user becomes a provider of Internet services (e.g. connectivity) based upon cooperation incentives or rewards and based upon his/her own mobility and social patterns. Services are established on the fly, and do not necessarily imply the use of multihop technology or routing. For instance, connectivity may be, in most cases, simply relayed. The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers and a discussion panel with guests from industry and academia. We envision U-NET as a forum aiming to ignite a debate concerning technical challenges and impact (negatively or positively) that user-provided networking may have on Internet communication models. *Topics* U-NET'09 solicits high quality technical contributions within the context of user-provided networking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Challenges and opportunities for access providers. * Impact on Internet architectures. * Internet connectivity. * Trust models, incentives to share broadband access. * Human behaviour and mobility patterns. * Self-organization. * Wireless cooperation. Papers submitted are expected to be highly innovative and may incorporate early stage ideas; position papers (clearly identified as such) pointing to new directions and capable of generating discussion are also welcome. Submission must be original and not already published in any other conference proceeding or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. *Technical Panel Discussion* U-NET'09 aims to be a forum to debate the technical challenges and impact of deploying user-provided networking technology. For this propose, this first edition of U-NET will host a technical discussion panel constituted by: * Shivendra S. Panwar, Professor at Polytechnic Institute of New York University, USA * James Kempf, Senior Architect at Ericsson Research, USA * David Kennedy, Director at Eurescom GmbH, Germany * Jordi Vallejo, CTO at FON Wireless Ltd, Spain * Dirk Trossen, Chief Researcher at BT Design and Innovation, United Kingdom *Submissions* Submitted papers must be at most 6 (six) pages long (including figures, tables and references) in the standard ACM double column format.

[Tccc] Last 3 days - CFP: Symposium on Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks, ISSNIP 2009
by Ozlem Durmaz Incel 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Apologies for cross-postings Submission due in 3 days, August 7, 2009. ---------------------------- CFP: Symposium on Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks, 5th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing (ISSNIP 2009) http://www.issnip.org/2009/symposia.html#TheoPractWSN 7-10 December 2009, Melbourne, Australia Call for Papers =============== Research in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has come a long way since it began around a decade ago. While there have been numerous small-scale WSN test bed implementations by the research community, large-scale implementations, involving hundreds or even thousands of nodes which are static or mobile are still unheard of. This symposium focuses on the theoretical and practical challenges faced when dealing with large-scale wireless sensor networks involving static and/or mobile nodes. Networks which scale thousands of static and/or mobile nodes need to possess a number of inherent characteristics in order to function properly. For example, scalability and distributed operation are essential characteristics for any large scale deployment. WSNs will only be widely adopted, if end-users are given guarantees about the operation of the system. Thus providing QoS guarantees is very important. However, providing such guarantees can be very difficult especially when one considers the unreliability of wireless links in WSNs. As resources such as energy, bandwidth, memory and computational power are highly constrained, novel techniques are required to manage the resources by maximizing the usage of cross-layer information, in order to guarantee the operation of the network in accordance with the end-user's requirements. The fact that manually administering every node individually is impossible, makes it vital for the system to have self-organizing and self-learni ng capabilities in every section of the protocol stack. Heterogeneity is another characteristic that makes the overall network architecture more robust and efficient. This symposium seeks papers that present novel solutions to the problems listed above. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Networking protocols (MAC, Routing, Transport, Time synchronization, QoS, Mobility support) - Sensor information processing (Calibration, Adaptive sampling, Signal processing) - Distributed algorithms for data management (Querying, Data aggregation, Coding, Storage) - Theoretical and simulation-based modelling (Mobility models, Fundamental bounds and formulations) - In-network data interpretation (Event detection and classification, Context-awareness, Adaptive recognition algorithms, On-line training and learning) - Sensor-actuator coordination (Heterogeneous architectures, Distributed control) - System support (Operating systems, Network monitoring and management, Network reprogramming, Simulation and debugging tools) - Services (Service-oriented architectures, Service discovery, Localization and tracking, Security) - Real-world experiences (Novel applications, Deployments, Experimental testbeds, Measurements) Important dates =============== Paper submission due : August 7, 2009 (extended) Notification of acceptance : September 14, 2009 Camera-ready due : October 5, 2009 Conference date : December 7-10, 2009 Committee ========= Symposium Chair: Paul Havinga Organizing Committee: Supriyo Chatterjea, Raluca Marin-Perianu, Özlem Durmaz Incel Technical Programme Committee ============================= Scott Bainbridge, Australian Institute of Marine Science, Australia Erdal Çayirci, University of Stavanger, Norway Chun Tung Chou, University of New South Wales, Australia Arie Croitoru, University of Alberta, Canada Stefan Dulman, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Wendi Heinzelman, Rochester University, USA Bhaskar Krishnamachari, University of Southern California, USA Clemens Lombriser, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Mihai Marin-Perianu, University of Twente, The Netherlands Ian Marshall, Lancaster University, UK Nirvana Meratnia, University of Twente, Netherlands Tim Nieberg, University of Bonn, Germany Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA Volkan Rodoplu, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Kay Römer, ETH Zürich, Switzerland Winston Seah, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Tim Wark, CSIRO, Australia Michele Zorzi, University of Padova, Italy Marco Zuniga, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland For further information, please refer to: http://www.issnip.org/2009/index.html _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a promising technology that handles the mobility management and provides the seamless mobile communications. It is expected that MIPv6, as a standard for mobile communication, will open the Mobile Internet Age. In MIPv6, it has been observed that mobility for mobile devices can be more efficiently handled if mobility management is broken down into localized mobility management and global mobility management. Therefore, host-based approaches such as Fast-Handovers for MIPv6 (FMIPv6) and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) have been proposed for localized mobility management. In addition, Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6) has been presented for the network-based localized mobility management (NETLMM), which does not require mobile devices to be involved in the signaling for mobility management. This workshop will focus on the challenges and solutions for MIPv6 with an emphasis on PMIPv6 and NETLMM, which have recently gained considerable attention. The MobiWorld workshop will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of MIPv6 and NETLMM. In addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in MIPv6 and NETLMM. Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. == Topics (included, but are not limited to)== - Communications network architecture for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Efficient handover mechanism in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Enhanced route optimization for MIPv6 and NETLMM - QoS protocol in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Performance model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Applications and services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security issues and protocols for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security threats and model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Privacy and trust for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Key management and authentication for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - AAA Infrastructure for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Early binding update and credit based access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Personal or Cellular communications services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Successful MIPv6 and NETLMM deployment - Mobility support for the next generation internet - Mobile IP for business - Mobility management for wireless network - Implementing mobile IP enterprise management solution - Integrating mobile data services into enterprise infrastructure - Others and emerging new topics == International Committee == *General Co-Chairs Victor C.M.

Internet social network applications such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. are providing valuable social information on contacts and their relationships. Wireless and mobile devices which are capable of creating, storing, processing, forwarding and sharing content are socially connected in a new radical networking and adaptive architecture harnessing the social behavior and mobility of the users. Thus, SocNets enable the pervasive connectivity without the need to maintain fully connected always-on networks. Such SocNets communities trigger exciting research interests in collaborative systems arising from the analysis of the structure and properties of SocNets. The use of private social information provides additional avenues for new networking operations --- for example, problems that allow the exploitation of SocNets to solve network and system security vulnerabilities, and how these new social network solutions can shape the design of secured distributed systems and networks; development of cross-layered architecture for diverse pervasive applications to distribute user-generated content based on social relationships and behaviors; etc. It also requires the cross-disciplinary research integration of computer science and engineering, biology, physics, anthropology, social sciences, etc. The goal of this special session is to catalyze cross-disciplinary research discussions that are of relevance to new and novel computer networking ideas, applications and experimental results in the area of SocNets. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include (but are not limited to) the following: -- Implications of social networking on future network architecture -- System design for social networks -- New social science of networks -- Physical and virtual social networks -- Social-based mobility -- Mobile and pervasive social networks -- Social community-based communication -- Real world applications of social network analysis and theory -- New social-inspired content creation and distribution networks -- New aspects of trust, privacy and security systems in social networking -- Data confidentiality and integrity in social networks Important Dates -- Submission Deadline: August 15, 2009 -- Acceptance Notification: September 10, 2009 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit regular technical papers or position papers. The position papers should present novel technologies at an early stage of development or share future vision.

[Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS: LOCAN, 14-16, Dec. 2009, China
by Guoliang Xing 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LOCAN 2009 The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/locan2009 In conjunction with MSN, 14-16, Dec. 2009 Wu Yi Mountain, China Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like 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 algorithms 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, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MSN main proceedings and will be published by the IEEE Press and EI-indexed. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format) through EasyChair "http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=locan09". For submission-related questions, please contact program co-chairs.

[Tccc] ReArch'09 Workshop (co-located with ACM CoNEXT) - deadline extended to August 13
by Tilman Wolf 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

ReArch'09 Workshop - Re-Architecting the Internet Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/rearch Extended Submission Deadline: August 13, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management requirements give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regards to its original design principles. Although these developments are necessary in the short term to allow the Internet to continue to operate under the present economical, technical and social conditions, in combination, they have significantly reduced the potential for longer-term evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives are underway in Europe, the Americas and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. The first solution proposals in this space have already started to be analyzed. ReArch'09 - the second instance of this workshop since its very successful debut at CONeXT 2008 - will discuss the underlying problems of the Internet architecture and protocols and debate how we might fix them in a way that regains us the original architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'09 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, the following impact: * New networking paradigms * New business models * New routing architectures * New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms * Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify architectural limitations * New architecture proposals and their implications for research and operations * New protocols to address specific architectural limitations * Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself * Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture * Principles of evolving future architectures * Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and attempt to stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked as such. Submission must be original and not already be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be formatted according to the standard ACM double column format *except* that *all* text must use a font size of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submit papers via EDAS at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 Submission Deadline: August 6, 2009 Notification Deadline: September 10, 2009 Camera Ready Deadline: October 1, 2009 ReArch'09: December 1, 2009 Committees Workshop Co-Chairs Lars Eggert, Nokia Research Center & TKK, Finland Tilman Wolf, University of Massachusetts, USA Technical Program Committee Bengt Ahlgren, SICS, Sweden Mark Allman, ICSI, USA Bob Briscoe, BT Group, United Kingdom Brian Carpenter, University of Auckland, New Zealand Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Kevin Fall, Intel Research, USA Pierre Francois, UC Louvain, Belgium James Griffioen, University of Kentucky, USA Robert Hancock, Roke Manor Research, United Kingdom Mark Handley, University College London, United Kingdom Hiroaki Harai, NICT, Japan Daniel Massey, Colorado State University, USA Martin May, Thomson Research, France Akihiro Nakao, Univeristy of Tokyo, Japan Pekka Nikander, Ericsson Research Nomadiclab, Finland Craig Partridge, BBN Technologies, USA George Rouskas, North Carolina State University, USA Peter Steenkiste, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Christian Vogt, Ericsson Research, USA Klaus Wehrle, RWTH Aachen, Germany Rolf Winter, NEC Network Labs, Germany Martina Zitterbart, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Steering Committee Marcelo Bagnulo, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain Olivier Bonaventure, UC Louvain, Belgium Kenjiro Cho, IIJ, Japan Joe Touch, USC/ISI, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE PerHealth 2010: Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:24:28 +0200 (CEST) Von: Eleonora Borgia <eleonora.borgia(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS PerHealth 2010 - The First IEEE PerCom Workshop on Pervasive Healthcare (http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/perhealth2010/) in conjunction with the Eighth IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications - PerCom 2010 (http//www.percom.org/) Mannheim, Germany March 29, 2010 (tentative) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **** Paper Submission Deadline --- October 18, 2009 **** Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pervasive Healthcare constitutes one of the most promising and technically challenging application domains for pervasive computing. It involves many research areas, from wearable computing and ubiquitous connectivity to context-awareness, sensor data fusion, artificial intelligence, expert systems, medical analytics, databases and user-friendly interfaces. While significant technological progress has been achieved in the past few years, further work is needed to develop complete systems that can really improve the patient quality of life and reduce medical errors and costs. First of all, an efficient, reliable, and complete pervasive healthcare system must satisfy both medical and patient requirements in terms of accuracy, reliability, unobtrusiveness and user acceptance. To do this, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary starting from the integration of new wearable technologies in a single Body Area Network to the design and development of system architectures and middleware solutions able to support efficient and dependable services like continuous remote monitoring, patient tracking, and ambient assistance.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Multimedia Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Datum: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:03:33 -0400 Von: Tommaso Melodia <tmelodia(a)eng.buffalo.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AD HOC NETWORKS (ELSEVIER) JOURNAL Special Issue on MULTIMEDIA AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS http://www.elsevierscitech.com/pdfs/cfp_adhoc0709.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------- Multimedia applications enabled by quality-aware wireless multi-hop networks include online gaming, video conferencing, video streaming, mobile TV, and peer-to-peer streaming. In addition, they include monitoring applications such as video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, advanced health care delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial process control. In spite of the increasing demand for multimedia wireless networking, we are still lacking a clear understanding of analytical and computational techniques, as well as best practices, to design resource allocation schemes, communication protocols, and self-organization algorithms for wireless multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks that will deliver, in a predictable and quantifiable fashion, the quality of service and experience required by the end user. In addition, while significant advances in physical layer techniques offer new opportunities for cross-layer optimizations designed to satisfy application needs, efforts to leverage these techniques from a networking perspective to support the needs of multimedia traffic demands in multi-hop wireless networks are still at initial stages. In particular, dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radios, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques, ultra-wide-band and cooperative communications, among other techniques, will have a profound impact on our ability to flexibly and predictably deliver multimedia content over wireless networks. Finally, with a few exceptions, processing of multimedia content has mostly been approached as a problem isolated from the network-design problem. However, in-network processing and delivery of multimedia content are not independent and their interaction has a major impact on the levels of quality of service (QoS) that can be delivered. Hence, it is necessary to develop flexible and self-organizing architectures and algorithms to flexibly perform in-network processing of multimedia contents. This special issue solicits papers on all aspects of multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks, with a primary focus on three key aspects. First, content-aware cross-layer design and resource allocation techniques, as well as new networking protocols based on metrics associated with quality of service/video/experience are of particular interest. Second, original papers examining networking aspects that leverage advances in physical and multiple access techniques to support multimedia traffic are particularly welcome. Third, papers investigating the interdependencies between multimedia in-network processing and networking aspects are sought, e.g., architectures and techniques to store, process in real-time, correlate and fuse multimedia data originating from heterogeneous sources. The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of multimedia content delivery over ad hoc and sensor networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures and applications for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming - Distortion and quality/experience-aware cross-layer design - Optimization techniques for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Capacity modeling - Quality-aware medium access control, scheduling, routing, and transport - Quality-aware resource management and admission control - Cross-layer design for P2P streaming - Experimental and testbed-based studies - Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design - Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design - Multimedia traffic on cognitive radio networks - Cooperative communication techniques for real-time video streaming - MIMO techniques for multimedia delivery - Physical layer technologies for efficient delivery of multimedia content - Secure multimedia communications - Joint multimedia processing and communication - Compressed sensing for multimedia sensor networks - Distributed source/video coding and multimedia processing Submission Instructions: Prospective Authors: Please follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/. Please select Article Type: ³SI: Multimedia Ad Hoc And Sensor Networks².

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] AASN'2009: Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:53:02 +0100 Von: Dr. Youssef Iraqi <y2iraqi(a)gmail.com> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, cnom(a)inf.ufsc.br, taos(a)comsoc.org, researchers(a)mailman.ufsc.br, ontc(a)comsoc.org, p2prg(a)irtf.org [Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] CALL FOR PAPERS Second International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks, AASN http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/09/workshops/AASN09/AASN_workshop.html To be held in conjunction with The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2009) Lyon - France, October 27-30, 2009. Summary and Topics: Thanks to technological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an increasing attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many applications, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and scientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating works in addressing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols, architecture, operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent needs to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous requirements are highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing and manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These techniques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundreds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is still facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spatially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in performing the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network and guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especially that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hostile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible. Since predefined and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networked sensing devices, automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in addressing upcoming developments that target multi-services, collaborating, or competing sensor networks. To reach these goals, the second International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is seeking novel ideas in the following topics that include, but not limited to: - Heterogeneous sensor networks - Multi-service sensor networks - Sensor network control - Automated sensing activities - Competing sensors or sensor networks - Collaborating sensors and sensor networks - Semantic-based management of sensor networks - Resource management in sensor networks - Context awareness in sensor networks - Self-organization and self-adaptation in sensor networks - New architectures and protocols for sensor networks - Sensor network maintenance - Intelligent sensors and sensor networks - Data management in sensor networks - Data and resource sharing in sensor networks - Quality of Service in sensor networks - Sustainable sensor networks - Decision Support Systems for Sensor Networks - Virtual Environment for Supporting Sensor Networks - Sensor Networks on the Web - Sensor networks for a sustainable development - Autonomous/Intelligent social sensor networks - Autonomous/Intelligent sensor networks for supporting social networks - Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent management of spatial resources - Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent risk management - New sensor network applications Important Dates: Submission deadline: July 31st 2009 Acceptance notification: September 5th 2009 Camera ready papers: September 15th 2009 Submission Guidelines: (http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/09/guidelines.php) Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 peer reviewers. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper.

Extended Submission Deadline - International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices
by Jens Schmutzler 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE EXTENSION International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices <http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org> held in conjunction with FIS2009 <http://www.fis2009.org> Berlin, Germany, September 1st, 2009 Extended Paper submission deadline: August 10th, 2009 Scope: The Future Internet of Things aims at providing pervasiveness of the Internet by integrating smart embedded devices into every days life processes. This leads to a highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. With the increase of heterogeneity, it becomes very difficult to insure interactions with devices in a unified manner. Enabling seamless convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous devices will be one of the key factors to the success of the Future Internet of Things. Moreover the Future Internet requires intelligent interaction with the environment leading to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There is a need for those networks to provide their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services for applications or other systems. The challenge lies in developing and selecting the right software frameworks, architectures, and protocols to publish embedded services via the Internet. Web technologies have been used to provide an interface to distributed services. This approach and the need for adaptable interfaces asks for service oriented middleware approaches providing common base functionality for service interaction and communication such as interface description languages, and marshalling mechanisms. In addition, middleware solutions for embedded systems need to monitor, and manage quality of service aspects, such as response time, resource consumption, throughput, availability, reliability and security. While web services being a standard and widely adopted technology for the standard Internet, embedded systems as the worker nodes for the Internet of Things need to catch up in utilizing these technologies. Embedded distributed systems can implement service oriented architectures as a promising approach to solve the complexity of distributed embedded applications and propagate web services as a cross-domain technology. Wireless sensor/actor networks, where the sensors are connected to and controlled by embedded systems may benefit from this approach, where services encapsulate the functionality and provide unified access to the functionality of the system through a middleware layer. The goal of this workshop is to bring together industrial or academic researchers and developers interested in connecting limited embedded (web) services and/or sensor networks with the Internet in order to build the Internet of Things. Through paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute to the exchange of knowledge and ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects, as well as identification and analysis of remaining open research issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectural Issues in Future Internet of Things * Real world applications and scenarios for embedded web services * Interoperability of heterogeneous systems * Event-driven SOAs & Device-centric SOA * Service creation, deployment, life cycle management * Tool support for service creation, validation and testing * Enterprise application integration * Protocols for efficient message transmission to embedded devices * Web services and Middleware for embedded environments * SOA-based integration of IT systems in the healthcare enterprise * Web services executing in mobile or pervasive environments * Distributed sensor networks for remote monitoring and surveillance * Web services for field bus systems Submission Instructions Papers have to be submitted electronically, through the EasyChairSystem: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fits2009 Papers should be written in English and should be no more than 6 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers (font Times 11pt).
