[Tccc] Advanced Technologies for Care at Home: Extended Deadline: 31 August - Special Session at IEEE CCNC 2010
by Dr Mario Kolberg 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Extended Deadline: 31 August 2009 Special Session: Advanced Technologies for Care at Home at IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference IEEE CCNC 2010 January 9 - 12, 2010, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2010 Submission deadline: 31 August 2009 - Extended Deadline. Due to a rapidly increasing ageing population, current care provision will become strained. A less costly and more practical solution will be to enable those requiring care to stay at home for longer. Those with long-term illness, physical or mental impairments may also prefer to remain in the care of friends and family. Assistive technology helps older people or those with impairments cope with normal life. Specialised technology is also being used to monitor situations such as someone becoming immobile or incapable. The aim is that, through use of sophisticated networking and management software, abnormal situations can be detected, acted upon and/or reported to a carer or a responder. This special session tries to bring together academics and commercial technology providers to explore current research issues with technologies for care at home. Topics of particular interest (but not limited to) include: • Integrated Home Care systems • Network Technologies for assistive technologies • User interfaces for care systems • Context aware health applications • Novel sensors, actuators, and augmented appliances for use in assistive systems • Mobile health applications • Experimental results and case studies on the use of technology for care at home All accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings of IEEE CCNC 2010. 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. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts should not exceed five (5) pages in double-column IEEE format. Please submit the paper through EDAS. Formatting details can be found under Author Information on the CCNC web site. The deadline for paper submissions in EDAS is August 31, 2009. For more information on these specialized tracks, visit http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2010.

[Tccc] CFP: IEEE CCNC'2010 Special Session on Social Networking (extended deadline: August 22)
by Ruichuan Chen 15 Aug '09

15 Aug '09

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] IEEE CCNC'2010 Special Session on Social Networking January 9-12, 2010 Las Vegas, USA http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2010/ or http://sites.google.com/site/socnets2010/ Important Dates -- Submission Deadline: August 15, 2009 (extended until August 22, 2009) -- Acceptance Notification: September 10, 2009 Social Networks (SocNets) have attracted billions of active users and this critical mass of users are increasing exponentially. 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 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. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts should not exceed five (5) pages in double-column IEEE format. Please submit the paper through EDAS. Formatting details can be found under Submission Guidelines on the CCNC website.

While facilitating ubiquitous network access and also social interactions, these emerging networks are particularly vulnerable to numerous privacy and security threats. For example, attackers may jeopardize the privacy of users in vehicular and urban sensing networks; the adversary may also compromise selected nodes in a tactical delay-tolerant network and thus fail the critical mission of the network. There is clearly an urgent need to protect emerging wireless networks from various security and privacy threats, thereby eliminating a major impediment to their widespread adoption of such networks. Scope of Contributions This special issue is to disseminate cutting-edge research results, highlight research challenges and open issues, and promote further research interests and activities on security and privacy in emerging wireless networks. We are more interested in contributions on wireless mesh networks, delay-tolerant networks, vehicular networks, and urban sensing networks, but we also welcome submissions related to mobile ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks. We seek original and unpublished contributions on topics including, but not limited to: - - Authentication and access control - - Secure routing and MAC protocols - - Privacy and anonymity - - Secure localization - - Secure time synchronization - - Secure data aggregation - - Secure location services - - Key management - - Intrusion detection and tolerance - - Performance and security/privacy tradeoffs - - Secure data storage and queries - - Novel threats and attacks - - Cross-layer security/privacy designs - - Security and privacy under resource constraints Submission Instructions Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. However, papers presenting original contributions will also be considered, as long as the presentation is accessible and the paper length is kept within the appropriate limits.

[Tccc] CFP: SI on Next-Generation & Resource-Constrained Converged Networks (IJCNDS)
by Obaid Amin 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems (IJCNDS)* *Call For papers* *Special Issue on: "Recent Advances in Next-Generation and Resource-Constrained Converged Networks"* Right from its beginning, the Internet has proven to be a vital medium of communication for society, be it entertainment, business, telecommunication, etc. It has rapidly found its way into our daily activities. Due to our high dependence on its functionalities, it can be regarded as one of the most integral parts of our lives. By observing the success of the Internet and packet-switched networks, recent initiatives such as NGN (Next Generation Networks) and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) have been undertaken to provide a seamless architecture for various access technologies. Furthermore, by integrating different technologies, for example SDP (Service Delivery Platform) and IMS, easy service delivery, execution and management are now possible. Other issues, such as point-to-point and broadcasting communications, data and multimedia oriented services, mobile and cellular systems, fast fibre and mobility, remain a challenging endeavour and, to say the least, the end-to-end picture is still unclear. On the other hand, efforts such as 6LoWPAN are also trying to connect resource constrained sensor networks to the Internet to provide a ubiquitous environment, creating the Internet of Things. 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 ensure interactions with devices in a unified manner. In short, even though the recent advances in network convergence offer new realities, there are several research challenges and issues that need to be addressed. For example, the heterogeneity of the networks imposes difficulties and challenges in ensuring network security, QoS provisioning, route optimisation and so on. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers relating to the recent advances in the challenges faced by next-generation and resource-constrained converged networks. *Subject Coverage* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Next generation networks - IMS and related technologies - Integration of IMS and SDP - IPTV architectures and standards - Security issues in IPTV - IPTV/IMS management. - QoS and QoE provisioning - 3P and 4P service provisioning - Accounting and billing - Regulatory issues - Streaming services over wired/wireless access networks - 6LoWPAN architectures and standards - Mobility issues in 6LoWPAN - Security issues in 6LoWPAN - Route optimisation - Future Internet and networks - Future services - Signaling for application sessions and networking *Notes for Prospective Authors* Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has been completely re-written). All papers are refereed through a double-blind review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Author Guidelines page *Important Dates* Manuscript due date: 30 December, 2009 First round notification: 15 March, 2010 Revised paper due: 15 May, 2010 Notification of acceptance: 15 June, 2010 Submission of final manuscript: 1 July, 2010 *Editors and Notes* You may send one copy in the form of an MS Word or PDF file (please mention “IJCNDS-SI-NGN” in the subject line) attached to an e-mail (details in Author Guidelines http://www.inderscience.com/mapper.php?id=31) to the following: *Syed Obaid Amin (Corresponding Editor)* Department of Computer Engineering, Kyung Hee University Korea E-mail: obaidasyed(a)gmail.com *Al-Sakib Khan Pathan* Department of Computer Engineering Kyung Hee University Korea E-mail: sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com *Syed Rahman* Computer Science & Software Engineering Department University of Wisconsin-Platteville USA E-mail: syedrahmanusa(a)gmail.com (Please Cc the email to: Inderscience Editorial Office, E-mail: editorial(a)inderscience.com) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

14 Aug '09

**Please help distribute the CFP** **We apologize if you received multiple copies of this CFP** ************************************************* Call for Papers International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing (IJAHUC) Special Issue on: "The Smart Digital Home" Guest Editors: Prof. Prof. Shing-Tsaan Huang, National Central University, Taiwan, R.O.C. Dr. Fong Pong, Broadcom Corporation, California, USA Assoc. Prof. Jehn-Ruey Jiang, National Central University, Taiwan, R.O.C. A smart digital home refers to a living space with devices that are connected through wired or wireless networks. The connected devices may be sensors, actors, consumer electronics, appliances, mobile and PC devices that cooperate transparently for facilitating living and improving usability in the home. Sensors can capture the and/or detect physical phenomena, like temperature, humidity, illumination, etc., of living environments and notify other devices of the phenomena; actors and other devices can then act according to the phenomena to provide context aware services. Home care of the old, the young, the sick and the disabled can benefit from smart digital home technologies, by which carers are able to acquire the states of the home and the residents anytime, anywhere and to take proper actions immediately. By the technologies, proper actions can also be triggered automatically in the presence of specific events, such as resident falling, and stove catching fire, etc. Smart digital home technologies enable working from home, remote education, network shopping, online gaming, etc. High speed broadband network access and all-IP technologies enabled by frameworks of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), SDP (Service Delivery Platforms), DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), and so on, offer new communication capabilities. We can foresee that innovative smart digital home applications benefiting from high network capabilities will be blooming in the near future. Since a variety of devices presents in a smart digital home, convergent (across all the screens of TVs, PCs, appliances and mobile devices) and personalized user experience is evidently the key for the success of new residential applications. Subject Coverage The goal of this special issue is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of the smart digital home. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Broadband digital home networks * Sensor networks and visual sensor networks for home care * Context-aware intelligent living environments * Continuous or event-driven inhabitation monitoring * Fall detection, posture and activity recognition * Assistive devices for localization and orientation * Decision support algorithms for sensor data analysis * Middleware for interoperability * Convergent and personalized user experience * Fully automated home applications * Energy savvy digital home applications * Entertainment, educational and motivational aids * Security and privacy in smart digital homes Notes for Prospective Authors Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

[Tccc] AASN'2009: Deadline extended to August 14, 2009
by Dr. Youssef Iraqi 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] CALL FOR PAPERS Second International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks, AASN Due to several requests, the submission deadline has been extended to August 14, 2009 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 (extended): August 14th 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: HotMobile 2010: Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:35:11 -0400 Von: lpcox(a)cs.duke.edu An: undisclosed-recipients:; HotMobile 2010 The Eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Annapolis, MD, USA February 22-23, 2010 http://www.hotmobile.org/2010/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE Preliminary Call for Papers ACM HotMobile 2010, the eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2010 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas.To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due: October 12, 2009 Acceptance notification: To be announced Revised papers due: To be announced Paper submissions are due by 23:59 PDST on Monday October 12, 2009. Paper Submission Instructions Paper submissions are due on Oct 12th 2009 at 23:59:59 PDST (Pacific Daylight Savings Time). Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and distributed at the workshop on a USB memory stick. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review.

[Tccc] CFP: IEEE CCNC'2010 Special Session on Social Networking
by Ruichuan Chen 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] IEEE CCNC'2010 Special Session on Social Networking January 9-12, 2010 Las Vegas, USA http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2010/ or http://sites.google.com/site/socnets2010/ Important Dates -- Submission Deadline: August 15, 2009 -- Acceptance Notification: September 10, 2009 Social Networks (SocNets) have attracted billions of active users and this critical mass of users are increasing exponentially. 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 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. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts should not exceed five (5) pages in double-column IEEE format. Please submit the paper through EDAS. Formatting details can be found under Submission Guidelines on the CCNC website.

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. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submissions will be done via EDAS at http://edas.info/N7753. *Important Dates* Submissions due: August 13th, 2009 Notification of acceptance: September 14th, 2009 Camera ready version due: October 1st, 2009 Workshop date: December 1st, 2009 *Program Committee* PC Chairs Paulo Mendes, INESC Porto, Portugal Olivier Marcé, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, France Technical Program Committee Rute Sofia, INESC Porto, Portugal André Zúquete, University of Aveiro, Portugal Vassilis Kostakos, University of Madeira, Portugal Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Dirk Trossen, British Telecom Innovate, United Kingdom Prosper Chemouli, France Telecom, France Martin May, Thomson Paris Research Laboratory, France Karen Sollins, MIT, USA Lixia Zhang, UCLA, USA James Kempf, Ericsson Research, USA Dipankar Raychaudhuri, Rutgders University, USA Bernhard Plattner, ETH, Switzerland George Polyzos, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Maria Papadopouli, FORTH/University of Creete, Greece Anand Prasand, NEC, Japan Gunnar Karlsson, KTH, Sweden Yevgeni Koucheryavy, Tampere University of Technology, Finland Marcus Brunner, NEC, Germany Petri Mähönen, RWTH Aachen University, Germany -- ----------------------------------------------------- Paulo Mendes, Ph.D Area Leader, Internet Architectures and Networking Telecommunication and Multimedia Unit INESC Porto Tel. +351 22 209 4264 Fax. +351 22 209 4050 http://ian.inescporto.pt _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
