-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM VANET workshop 2009 Datum: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 09:18:21 -0800 (PST) Von: Fan Bai <fan_bai(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive duplicate copies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM VANET 2009 Vehicle to Vehicle -- Vehicle to Roadside -- Vehicle to Internet The Sixth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2009 Date: To be announced Beijing, China Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE (approval pending) http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2009/ Important Dates (tentative): Paper Submission Deadline: April 6th Notification of Acceptance: June 19th Camera-Ready Deadline: July 15th The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter-networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe), and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2009 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2009/.

[Tccc] CFP: PRESTO 2009 - 2nd ACM SIGCOMM workshop on Programmable Routers for Extensible Services of TOmorrow
by Kobus van der Merwe 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers. Call For Papers -- PRESTO 2009 -- The Second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Programmable Routers for Extensible Services of TOmorrow August 22nd 2009 Co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2009 in Barcelona, Spain. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2009/workshops/presto/ There continues to be great interest in the networking research community in re-architecting the distribution of functions in IP networks. These efforts can be described as a dis-aggregation of router and switch functionality into various components and well-defined interfaces, towards the goal of deploying richer services and easing management of the network. Efforts in this space span the range from more sophisticated configuration interfaces, to open application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow specialized control and data plane functions on commercial routers, to open software, open firmware, and open hardware platforms that enable tremendous flexibility in the functionality of network equipment. While these open interfaces continue to evolve, many have reached a level of maturity that allow practitioners to create holistic network centric functions and services by leveraging the available low level per-device mechanisms. Indeed, programmable network elements hold the promise of accelerating innovation and service deployment. At the same time, programmability could exacerbate already challenging network management tasks. As with previous PRESTO workshops, this session will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between researchers and industry practitioners, with a goal of driving service innovation in IP networks using novel extensible router and switch architectures. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Abstractions for programmable network elements. (Do we need programmability? How close to the "metal" should programmability be? E.g., configuration interfaces versus open APIs versus completely open platforms. Programming languages for programmable network elements.) - Architectures for open/programmable network elements, including transport, wireless and packet forwarding devices. - Efficient and flexible data plane programmability. (E.g., firmware versus multi-core platforms.) - Cross-layer aware programmability. - Network element virtualization and the interaction between programmability and virtualization. - Network composition, configuration and provisioning in virtualized environments. - Architectures, services and/or service features enabled by programmability. - The impact of programmability on network management and operations. Submission instructions The workshop solicits original papers on completed work, position papers, and/or work-in-progress papers on the challenges raised above. Papers that bring out new and interesting approaches at an early stage of their development are very welcome, as are papers that describe industry efforts related to the CFP. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length, must be a PDF file and must follow the formatting guidelines at http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2009/. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers can be submitted through the submission site at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/PRESTO09/ Important Dates Abstract submissions due: Friday, March 6 2009 Paper submissions due: Friday, March 13 2009 Acceptance Notification: Monday, April 13 2009 Camera Ready Due: Friday, May 8 2009 Workshop: Friday, August 21 2009 Program Chairs: Patrick Crowley, Washington University in St. Louis Dave Maltz, Microsoft Research Kobus Van der Merwe, AT&T Labs - Research Program Committee: Rahul Aggarwal, Juniper Networks Fred Baker, Cisco Systems Patrick Crowley, Washington University in St. Louis Nick Feamster, Georgia Tech Paul Francis, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems Tim Griffin, University of Cambridge T.V.

[Tccc] CFP-ACCESSNETS 2009
by Chadi Assi 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * ACCESSNETS 2009 * * Fourth International Conference on Access Networks * * November 2-4, 2009, Hong Kong, China * * http://www.accessnets.org * * * ************************************************************** Submission deadline: April 2, 2009 OVERVIEW: With the rapid growth of the Internet as well as the increasing demand for broadband services, access networks have been receiving growing investments in recent years. This has led to a massive network deployment with the goal of eliminating the bandwidth bottleneck between end-users and the network core. Today many diverse technologies are being used to provide broadband access to end users. The architecture and performance of the access segment (local loop, wired and wireless access networks, and even home networks) are getting increasing attention for ensuring quality of service of diverse broadband applications. Moreover, most access lines will no longer terminate on a single device, thus leading to the necessity of having a home network designed for applications that transcend simple Internet access sharing among multiple personal computers and enable multimedia support. Therefore, the access network and its home portion have become a hot investment pool from both a financial as well as a research perspective. The aim of the annual International Conference on Access Networks (AccessNets) is to provide a forum that brings together scientists and researchers from academia as well as managers and engineers from the industry and government organizations to meet and exchange ideas and recent work on all aspects of access networks and how they integrate with their in-home counterparts. AccessNets'09 is the fourth edition of this exciting event, which will be held in Hong Kong, China, on November 2-4, 2009. The conference will consist of technical sessions, industry track, workshops, and panels. The technical sessions will present original and fundamental research advances while the industry track, workshops and panels will focus on development, application, and related business issues in this hot and exciting area. TOPICS: The conference solicits original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * FTTx and PON technologies * xDSL technology and DSM * Hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) technology * Cable-based access technology * Powerline communication technology * Digital satellite access technology * WiFi and WiMax networks * Wireless mesh networks * Integrated wired/wireless networks * Long reach Ethernet * Home networks * Networked appliances * Hybrid wired/wireless LANs * Municipal and community networks * Network architectures and protocols * Medium access control * Cross-layer design * OFDM, OFDMA, CDMA techniques * MIMO techniques * Service convergence * Quality of service provisioning * Network scalability and upgradeability * Network survivability and security * Deployment/standardization statuses PANELS AND WORKSHOPS: We solicit panel and workshop proposals on hot and controversial topics in access networks. Proposals should be submitted to the panel and workshop co-chairs, respectively. Please visit the conference website for detailed instructions. PAPER SUBMISSION: Please visit the conference website (http://www.accessnets.org) for detailed instructions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications Datum: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 00:15:56 +0000 Von: Joel Rodrigues <joeljr(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture, and Applications Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are designed to address networks that exhibit intermittent connectivity. In general DTN architecture can be defined by one or more of the following characteristics: (a) sparse connectivity (i. e., end-to-end route between source and destination may not even exist); (b) long or variable delay; (c) asymmetric data rate; and (d) high error rate. Such characteristics can be results of various factors, including sever power fluctuations, wireless range, network partitioning, catastrophic disasters, or malicious attacks. Consequently, applications of DTNs are highly diverse and can be expanded to a wide variety of areas. Examples of such areas are interplanetary networks for deep space communications, sensor networks for ecological monitoring, transient networks to benefit developing communities, ad hoc networks to disseminate information in tactical or roadway environments, and disaster recovery networks to restore communications following a natural disaster. Diversity of network environments and inherent uncertainty about network conditions make design of DTNs highly challenging in terms of architecture, protocol designs, interoperability, security, management, and stability. We hope this special issue can address some of these issues and further stimulate activity in the research community. The goal of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the- art research contributions that address the various aspects of delay/disruption tolerant communications, networks, architecture, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multicasting and broadcasting * Routing protocols for stochastic and deterministic time evolving networks * Integration with other systems and networks, such as free-space optical communications systems, MANET, VANET, C2C, Deep space, Acoustic Underwater, ad hoc, sensor/actuator networks * Models for rural connectivity and disconnected ad hoc networks * Multimedia and web searching * Hybrid DTN * Security, stability, survivability, and interoperability * Wireless DTN technologies, including RF, UWB, free-space optical, and acoustic * Network architecture and design, including link technology and node design * Applications, testbeds, and implementations * Management, configuration, QoS, and authentication * User mobility support, naming, and addressing * Protocols and overlay architecture * Delay tolerant networks and energy efficiency * Economic models and feasibility SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers should be submitted as PDF format electronically to joeljr(a)ieee.org with a Subject of SI/JCM. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts following the standard review process of the Journal of Communications to ensure the high quality of the special issue of the journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVE'09) Datum: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:59:38 +0800 Von: Kuan-Ta (Sheng-Wei) Chen <swc(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> Antwort an: swc(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw Organisation: Academia Sinica An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive this more than once] -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd International Workshop on Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVE 2009) at the IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality 2009 (VR09) March 15th, 2009 Lafayette, Louisiana, USA http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE09/ -------------------------------------------------------- With the increasing number of potential users of virtual and augmented reality systems, as indicated by the recent booms of massively multiuser online societies, the design of distributed, massively multiuser virtual environments (MMVEs) becomes increasingly important, posing new requirements on both distribution platforms and virtual reality systems. Facing these challenges is a community-spanning effort that requires pooling the resources and experiences of both the virtual reality and the networking/ distributed computing communities. This workshop hopes to provide a link between these communities to foster the development of highly distributed, flexible and robust virtual environments. We aim to gather both practitioners and researchers under one roof to discuss their findings, incite collaborations, and move the state of the art forward. Topics ------ The main topic of this workshop is to provide a critical analysis of existing distribution approaches for virtual environments and to identify key challenges and techniques that are required for bringing VR systems into the global Internet, interconnecting thousands of users in a single environment. More specifically, the workshop addresses the following issues: 1. Scalability, i.e. the ability to handle thousands of (possibly nearby) users at the same time, interacting via the global Internet. 2. Interoperability, i.e. the ability to integrate multiple virtual worlds and/or service providers, e.g. using common protocols or universal clients. 3. Interactivity, i.e. how to provide highly responsive environments with near real time interactions despite network delay and jitter. 4. Bandwidth restricted (mobile) end user devices, e.g. the integration of mobile devices for nomadic augmented reality applications. 5. Dynamic & flexible distribution architectures, e.g. self-adapting client/server, peer-to-peer and hybrid architectures. 6. Content streaming, e.g. sound and 3D streaming. 7. Consistency, i.e. providing consistency guarantees to users of the virtual environment, despite network delay and the high level of responsiveness required. 8. Persistency, i.e. the ability to save and access the states of the virtual environments despite disconnections and faulty components. 9. Security & privacy, e.g. distributed authentication algorithms that allow users to participate in the environment securely and without fear of being spied. 10. Implementation issues, e.g. novel approaches to effectively manage the complexity of developing applications for such environments. Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Paper submissions must cover one of the topics listed above, or a closely- related one. Submitted papers should be at most 6 pages long, use the IEEE proceedings format and *must be blinded*. Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All submissions will be peer- reviewed (double-blind) and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Submissions in PDF format must be submitted online through the workshop page at http://peers-at-play.org/MMVE09/ no later than January 30th, 2009. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. Selected papers will appear in a special issue of the International Journal of Advanced Media and Communication (IJAMC), subject to addressing all reviewer comments from MMVE and reformatting according to IJAMC formatting guidelines. If you have any questions, please email us at mmve(a)peers-at-play.org. Workshop Format -------------------------------------------- The workshop will have three parts. The first part will be an invited keynote talk. In the second part, we will have multiple sessions, each consisting of about 3 talks. The last part of the workshop will consist of a common panel discussion including all participants.

2nd CFP: ICFI2009 - The 10th International Conference on Feature Interactions, Lisbon, June 11-12, 2009
by Jan Bredereke 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

** The submission deadline of ICFI2009 was extended about two weeks. ** Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results. We apologize in advance if you received multiple copies of the following CFP. //------------------------------------------------------------------// ICFI 2009 -- Second Call for Papers The 10th International Conference on Feature Interactions in Software and Communication Systems June 11-12, 2009 Lisbon, Portugal (in conjunction with IFIP's DisCoTec'09) http://www27.cs.kobe-u.ac.jp/wiki/icfi/ // OVERVIEW --------------------------------------------------------// ICFI is the primary international forum for discussing and reporting about research on the Feature Interaction problem in telecommunications and software systems since 1992. ICFI2009 will be held in conjunction with Distributed Computing Techniques 2009 (DisCoTec'09), a major cluster of conferences sponsored by IFIP. ICFI2009 aims to bring together representatives of the communications industry, the software industry, and the research community working on various aspects of feature interactions in order to discuss possible solutions and their practical applications, as well as setting directions for further research. ICFI2009 will feature presentations by invited speakers, presentations of research and industrial papers (including short presentations), a doctoral symposium as well as posters and tool demonstrations. // THE FEATURE INTERACTION PROBLEM ---------------------------------// Feature interactions refer to conflicts among different features on a system. The features may be functions, services, concerns or aspects. Even if each individual feature works as intended, using multiple features together may cause unexpected (and often undesirable) behaviors, due to the feature interactions. The feature interaction problem was first studied in the domain of telecommunications systems. However, the phenomenon can occur in any software system that is subject to evolution, because the features of the new version of the system can interact with the features of the old system in an undesired way. Emerging application domains for which the feature interaction problem becomes relevant include policy-driven systems, Web services /service-oriented architecture, home network systems, building automation systems, mobile and ubiquitous systems, Parlay, 3G, grid and active networks, product-line engineering, etc. Detecting, resolving, preventing, and managing the feature interactions at different phases of the system life-cycle are more than ever important problems that need to be addressed with cost-effective techniques and tools. // TOPICS ----------------------------------------------------------// The following topics are relevant for the conference. Yet, we welcome other contributions related to the feature interaction problem. - Feature interactions in software systems / applications - Feature interactions in emerging telecom and network architectures - Feature interactions in mobile and broadband services - Feature interactions in ubiquitous/pervasive computing - Service interactions (Web Services, SOA) - Current industrial practice and experience - Enterprise-level aspects of the feature interaction problem - Mechanisms for interaction detection and resolution - User-centric view on the interaction problem - Software-engineering view including requirements engineering and design // PAPER SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------// All submissions must be in English. Technical papers submitted may be full papers or short papers. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. * Full papers: These must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. * Short papers: In order to make the conference as complete as possible from the point of view of coverage of current research in the area, we also solicit short papers. These can be; (I) industrial reports - describe industrial case studies or research directions (E) example papers - describe examples of FIs that occurred in real-life systems (P) position papers - describe novel research directions (W) work-in-progress papers - describe slightly immature, but exciting new ideas (S) summary/survey papers - share FI research already published elsewhere with the FI community Further instructions to authors and publication details will be made available on the ICFI'09 website in due course. // IMPORTANT DATES -------------------------------------------------// - Deadline for abstract submission: January 24, 2009 (extended) - Deadline for full paper submission: January 31, 2009 (extended) - Notification of acceptance: February 27, 2009 - Camera-ready version due: March 10, 2009 - Conference dates: June 11-12, 2009 // ORGANIZATION ----------------------------------------------------// Conference Co-Chairs - Stephan Reiff-Marganiec, University of Leicester, UK - Masahide Nakamura, Kobe University, Japan Programme Committee - Daniel Amyot, University of Ottawa, Canada - Lydie du Bousquet, University Joseph Fourier, France - Jan Bredereke, University of Applied Sciences Bremen, Germany - Rui Crespo, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal - Tom Gray, PineTel, Canada - Jean-Charles Gregoire, INRS-Telecommunications, Canada - Gang Huang, Peking University, China - Hiroshi Igaki, Kobe University, Japan - Mario Kolberg, University of Stirling, UK - Francis Leung, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA - Fuchun Joseph Lin, Telcordia Technologies, USA - Luigi Logrippo, Universite du Quebec en Outaouais, Canada - Evan Magill, University of Stirling, UK - Andreas Metzger, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany - Tadashi Ohta, Soka University, Tokyo, Japan - Jean-Luc Richier, CNRS, LIG, France - Marc Ryan, University of Birmingham, UK - Pierre-Yves Schobbens, University of Namur, Belgium - Ken Turner, University of Stirling, UK - Michael Weiss, Carleton University, Canada - Pamela Zave, AT&T, USA // CONTACTS --------------------------------------------------------// Further information can be found in the web site at: http://www27.cs.kobe-u.ac.jp/wiki/icfi/ Any questions and comments can be sent by Email at: icfi09 [at] ws.cs.kobe-u.ac.jp

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: PFLDnet 2009 Datum: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:31:47 +0200 Von: Lars Eggert <lars.eggert(a)nokia.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS PFLDNet 2009 The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale and Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT) The University of Tokyo, Japan May 21-22, 2009 Web page: http://www.hpcc.jp/pfldnet2009 Scope The Internet continues to evolve along several dimensions, allowing more and more end systems to communicate in increasingly diverse ways. At one end of the performance spectrum, the Internet protocols provide communication facilities for extremely-high-speed special-use networks. At the other end of the performance spectrum, the Internet contains very low-power and low-bandwidth networks that cater to infrequent, bursty communication. Enabling efficient and high- performance end-to-end communication across such a diverse internetwork is a difficult problem, which is not solved by current transport layer protocols. The need to support an application base that grows more and more dissimilar adds additional challenges. The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale & Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT)brings together researchers and practitioners from all continents to exchange their ideas and experiences in the area of transport layer issues for modern communication networks. The workshop provides theorists, experimentalists and technologists with a focused, highly interactive opportunity to present, discuss and exchange experience on leading research, development and future directions in transport and application protocols for networks that are increasingly growing in size, heterogeneity and dynamicity of interaction. PFLDNeT 2009 solicits papers that further the research on end-to-end communication protocols for todays and tomorrows Internet in all its diversity along the continuum from specialized grid networks, optical transports, wireless connections, to lossy and low-power networks. A specific focus of the workshop lies on transport protocols for the efficient end-to-end transfer of data for a diverse set of applications and application-layer protocols. Now approaching its seventh instantiation, the PFLDneT workshop has broadened its focus over the years from protocols targeted at specific fast, long-distance networks (the original expansion of the PFLDneT acronym) into a venue where all kinds of new ideas relating to end-to-end transport protocols for diverse network scenarios are being discussed first. The previous International Workshops on Protocols for Fast, Long- Distance Networks held at CERN (2003), Argonne (2004), Lyon (2005), Nara (2006), Marina del Rey (2007) and Manchester (2008) were very successful in bringing together many researchers from all over the world including North America, Europe and Asia who are working on these problems. PFLDNeT 2009 will continue this tradition, and provide a perfect forum for researchers in this area to exchange ideas and experience.

[Tccc] CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS , Delay Tolerant Networks: Protocols and Applications
by Thanos Vasilakos 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Call for Book Chapter Title: Delay Tolerant Networks: Protocols and Applications (to be published by <http://www.taylorandfrancisgroup.com/> Auerbach Publications, CRC Press, Taylor&Francis Group) Proposal Deadline: 20 January 2009. Introduction Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) arises primarily as a result of various forms of host and router mobility, but may also come into being as a result of disconnection due to power management or interference. Examples of such networks include: * Terrestrial Mobile Networks: In many cases, these networks may become un-expectedly partitioned due to node mobility or RF interference. In other cases, the network may never have an end to end path and may be expected to be partitioned in a periodic and predictable manner. * Exotic Media Networks: Exotic communication media includes near-Earth satel-lite communications, very long-distance radio links (e.g. deep space RF communications with light propagation delays in the seconds or minutes), communication using acoustic modulation in air or water, and some free-space optical communications. These systems may be subject to high latencies with predictable interruption (e.g. due to planetary dy-namics or the passing of a scheduled ship), may suffer outage due to environmental conditions (e.g. weather), or may provide a predictably available store-and-forward network service that is only occasionally available (e.g. low-earth orbiting satellites that "pass" by one or more times each day). * Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks: These networks are frequently characterized by extremely limited end-node power, memory, and CPU capability. Recommended Topics (not limited to) * Routing, broadcast, multicast * Medium Access Control * Self-x properties, i.e. self-organization, self-management, self-healing and self-protection * Economic approaches and social model * Learning techniques * Design, analysis and simulation * Network coding * P2p * Mobility * Robustness and stability * Security, immunity and resilience * Auto-configuration, authentication and trust management * Bio-computing inspired approaches * Generic network-level service composition at run-time * Context Transparency and Awareness * Sensor networks-based DTN * Ambient, invisible, implicit, and adaptive computing * Context-aware computing and location-based services and applications * Testbed, prototype and experiment * Challenges, visions and roadmap Important Dates You are invited to submit a 1-2 pages proposal discribing the topic of your chapter. The proposal should include the chapter summary, table of content, and contact authors. Estimatedly, each chapter should has about 35 pages with 12 font size, double-space format. Proposal Deadline: 20 January 2009 Notification of proposal acceptance: 31 Jan. 2009 Full chapter submission: 30 April 2009 Note: each lead chapter author will get a free copy of the book.

[acf-members] IEEE ACNM'09 Call for Paper
by Stefan Schmid 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Network Management (ACNM 2009) June 5, 2009 - Long Island, NY, USA http://acnm09.nw.neclab.eu/ In conjunction with the IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss new theories, mechanisms and applications of Autonomic Communication - a new paradigm for forthcoming networks in the fixed as well as the mobile world. The focus of ACNM is on intelligent communication, network control and management paradigms based on smart network and service elements that are capable to automatically configure and organize themselves. Autonomic networks will be able to sense their environment to perceive these changes, to understand the meaning of these changes, and to react in an intelligent manner through adaptation. This facilitates new ways to perform network control, management, service creation, etc. Autonomic networking naturally also applies to mission critical distributed systems, since autonomic behavior allows for immediate reaction to changes in the networking environment or context, and correction of any (predicted) problems. Such behavior also facilitates fault-tolerance and resilience. ACNM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange their research ideas and findings. The workshop will be held in conjunction with IM 2009, which draws many leading researchers in the field of Network and Systems Management. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the EU IST Project ANA. *** TOPICS *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Autonomic network architectures and principles - Paradigms, tools and techniques autonomic communication systems - Control and management in dynamic/mobile network environments - Self-management of communication systems and networks (e.g., based on peer-to-peer principles) - Policy control for autonomic networks & systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for autonomic networks - Advances in and application of control theory - Self-co-operating peer-to-peer networks - Self-organizing network elements, and administrative domains - Self-* technologies - Fault-tolerance and resilience - Cognitive networking - Plug and play networking components - Knowledge based network control - Bio-inspired networks and systems - Experiences with self-* solutions - Application of autonomic management to mobile and wireless networking including 3GPP evolved UTRAN, SAE networks, etc. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** - Submission deadline: January 26th, 2009 - Notification of acceptance: March 2nd, 2009 - Camera ready version: March 16th, 2009 *** PAPER SUBMISSION *** Papers must be original material, not currently be under review, and not have been previously published by another conference or journal.

First call for papers: MobiArch 2009
by Xiaoming Fu 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Dear colleagues, Please apologize us if you receive multiple copies of the CFP. Best regards, Xiaoming ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers The 4th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2009) Co-located with MobiSys, 22 June 2009, Kraków, Poland http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~mobiarch/2009/ With the recent development of technologies in wireless access and mobile devices, user, terminal, and network mobility has become an indispensable component of today's Internet vision, and it is likely to continue in the near future, while affecting the whole architectural design of the future Internet. Yet, issues like efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, wireless access and related operational/deployment concerns are still in their early stages of development. Moreover, the Internet architecture, its end-to-end principles, and business models will require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as efficient and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies may pose additional challenges to the Internet architecture since they introduce design principles different from the original Internet. MobiArch 2009 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. Furthermore, the potential of usability of mobility services for connecting people and devices in developing regions of the world into the Internet infrastructure will be also explored. Topics of MobiArch 2009 cover all aspects of architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: • Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on the Internet architecture • Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in link, network, transport to session/application layers and cross-layer design • Location management, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues • Security and privacy issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture • Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in extreme environments (e.g., remote areas, developing countries) • Performance issues with mobility in the Internet • QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture • Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) • Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design • Technologies for mobile wireless access and interactions Submissions must present original results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS (http://edas.info/7188). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 22 February 2009 Acceptance Notification: 31 March 2009 Camera Ready Due: 15 April 2009 Workshop Date: 22 June 2009 TPC Chairs: Jörg Ott Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Kun Tan Microsoft Research Asia
