[Tccc] Reminder: CfP IEEE JSAC SI on Bio-inspired Networking
by Falko Dressler 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) BIO-INSPIRED NETWORKING Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of massively networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally distributed and unsupervised way. Recently, a number of approaches inspired by biological mechanisms and phenomena have been proposed as a strategy to handle the complexity of massively distributed systems such as the Internet, or wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The goal of bio-inspired approaches is to discover and to adapt biological methods to technical solutions that are showing similarly high stability, adaptability, and scalability as biological entities often have. This special issue intends to highlight the latest achievements in the new research domain of bio-inspired networking. In particular, the issue focuses on methodologies for identifying relevant biological mechanisms, the modeling of these mechanisms, and their application to technical solutions. Prospective articles are expected to outline either proof of concept studies with direct comparison to classical technical solutions, or theoretical mathematical models of biological principles associated with fundamental challenges in communication systems. For this special issue, we consider all techniques with direct biological background including animal learning strategies, self-organizing methods as observed from swarms down to nano-structures that are observed and analyzed in molecular biology. Classical complex systems research is explicitly excluded from the scope whereas a comparison to well-known techniques in this domain is appreciated. This special issue is dedicated to bio-inspired approaches addressing various aspects of networking and communication systems. The topics of interest include the following domains: - Self-organizing communication systems - Evolutionary and adaptive systems and protocols - Scalable systems and protocols - Self-learning algorithms - Self-healing systems and protocols - Security mechanisms - Network algorithms and protocols - Scalable and adaptive network architectures - Congestion control mechanisms - Performance evaluation of bio-inspired networks Original unpublished contributions, and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to IEEE-JSAC guidelines (please note the mandatory overlength page charges of $220/page after the first 7 pages). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via email to dressler(a)ieee.org according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: March 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2009 Final Manuscript due to Pub: December 1, 2009 Publication: 2nd quarter 2010 Guest Editors - Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany (dressler(a)ieee.org) - Tatsuya Suda, University of California, Irvine, USA (suda(a)ics.uci.edu) - Iacopo Carreras, Create-Net, Italy (iacopo.carreras(a)create-net.org) - Masayuki Murata, Osaka University, Japan (murata(a)ist.osaka-u.ac.jp) - Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK (Jon.Crowcroft(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) -- Dr. Falko Dressler Computer Networks and Communication Systems University of Erlangen, Germany Phone: +49 9131 85-27914 / Fax: +49 9131 85-27409 mailto:dressler@informatik.uni-erlangen.de http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP EVICS - IEEE Workshop on Environmental and Social Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems Datum: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 08:38:21 +0100 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-ERLANGEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Environmental and Social Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems (EVICS) http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/evics2009/ held in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2009 June 19, 2009, Kos, Greece Aims and Scope -------------- The establishment of network connections among vehicles and between vehicles and an existing network infrastructure is one of the most challenging research fields in the networking domain. Vehicles can be seen as a mobile communication infrastructure with strong dynamics w.r.t. network topology and changing communication channel conditions. The applications are manifold ranging from comfort services, e.g. traffic information systems, to safety applications, e.g. emergency warnings. Until now, the development of protocols was primarily inspired by existing Internet solutions and the advances in mobile ad hoc networking. However, the specific characteristics of vehicular networks may require quite different communication paradigms. For example, the nodes usually do not have severe power and form factor constraints, and they might be always on. On the other hand, wireless connections may not be stable for a longer time period and the network density is expected to vary from sparse to very dense networks. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for novel solutions and services looking into V2V and V2I communication issues focusing on environmental aspects such as optimized CO2 emission, and road traffic shaping, i.e. optimized usage of available routes for all vehicles. Furthermore, con-cerning the drivers or users of vehicles, the service aspect is especially challenging in public trans-portation and for fleet management. The workshop will highlight the latest achievements in the research area of vehicular communication, with the goal of bringing together the different research communities. We especially target protocols and solutions besides simple "802.11+MANET" based solutions and explicitly encourage submission of scientifically sound experimental work. Authors are required to center their work around the environmental and social impacts of IVC and clearly state in the abstract how one or more of these issues are addressed in the paper. We are looking for both technical and position papers presenting new applications for IVC that we have not seen so far, and new ways to exploit existing communication techniques for more efficient IVC. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication * Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC) and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) * Exploiting IVC and intra-vehicular networks for improved safety * IVC for reduced CO2 emission and road traffic shaping * IVC algorithms, protocols, and services (MAC, routing, data dissemination, Internet-connectivity) * IVC related security, safety, and privacy issues and conflicts * Mobility modeling and simulation environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2009 proceedings, hence manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (max. 6 pages, IEEE 8.5x11 conference format). Submission will be handled by EDAS (<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7217&>).

[Tccc] CFP: Third Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble, Mobile Ubiquitous Systems (ADAMUS 2009)
by Luca Foschini 31 Dec '08

31 Dec '08

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers __________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: Third Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mobile Ubiquitous Systems ADAMUS 2009 In conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS'09), to be held in London, UK, July 13-17, 2009 ( ICPS '09 web site : [1]http://http://icpsconference.org/2009/ ADAMUS web site : [2]http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ ADAMUS'08 CfP pdf : [3]http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ CFP_adamus09.pdf ) WORKSHOP SCOPE __________________________________________________________________ Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services offered to and provided by mobile systems at any time and in any place. This new scenario asks for effec- tive solutions to design, develop, and maintain novel ubiquitous services notwithstanding abrupt changes and challenging depend- ability requirements imposed by the highly heterogeneous and er- ror-prone mobile provisioning environment. However, currently de- ployed mobile systems are often too inflexible and unable to rapidly adapt to change and this in turn leads to situations where quality-of-service and quality-of-experience are strongly and negatively affected. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and envi- ronments, a variety of research studies have produced supporting methods, proof-of-concept prototypes, and disciplines. As an ex- ample, Resilience, or "the ability of the network to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of various faults and challenges to normal operation", is being recognized more and more as a fundamental attribute for truly effective mo- bile and ubiquitous services of today and tomorrow. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the chal- lenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emerg- ing mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile commerce, wireless control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance. The ambition and mission of ADAMUS is to put on the foreground all above issues and to foster the exchange of ideas and lively discussion in order: to devise conceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop mobile ubiquitous systems; to provide analytical and sim- ulation tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost-effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mo- bile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last two editions, ADAMUS 2009 aims at serving as a meeting ground and common platform of dis- cussion for research and industrial bodies in the field of adap- tive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. In particular, the focus of this Workshop edition will be on service continuity de- fined as the ability to grant continuous distribution of mobile ubiquitous service despite the occurrence of potentially signifi- cant and sudden changes or faults in the infrastructure and the surrounding environment. Researchers and practitioners are en- couraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable applications over mobile environments.

[KuVS ELG] Conferences of the Int. Teletraffic Congress (ITC) in 2009
by Paul J. Kuehn 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hello, dear members of the ITG Working Groups 521 and 524, of the Extended Executive Committee of KUVS, of the Members of the Interest Group MMB, of the Institute IKR, the International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) is by far the most experienced scientific and engineering conference dealing with performance modelling, traffic measurements and quality of service engineering. for telecommunications and computer networks. I am proud of having chaired the Int. Advisory Council (IAC) of the ITC for 16 years; since 2007 the new chairman/co-chairman are Prosper Chemoul/Professor Tran-Gia of Orange-FT-Group and the University of Wuerzburg, respectively. I contact you to draw your attention to two conference programs of the ITC in 2009: 1. 21st ITC World Congress Paris, France, September 15 - 17, 2009 Web: http://www.i-teletraffic.org/itc21/call-for-papers/ Submission Deadline: February 1st, 2009 2. 20th ITC Specialist Seminar on "Network Virtualization - Concepts and Performance Aspects" Hoi An, Viet Nam, May 18- 20, 2009 Web: http://www.itcspecialistseminar.com/itcss20/ Submission Deadline: January 12, 2009 You can find more details about these conferences at the websites. I would like to encourage you and members of your team to submit papers to these conferences or to solicit papers of experts in your community. German experts have formed traditionally a strong group in the ITC; the ITG Working Groups 521 and 524 as well as the GI/ITG Joint Working Groups on Communications and Distributed Systems(KUVS) and on Measuring, Modelling and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems (MMB) reflect the high engagement of German experts from academia, equipment vendor industries and network operators in the related topics of performance modelling and engineering. During the last 8 years a new international conference series has been established, the Polish-German Teletraffic Symposium aiming at similar topics as the ITC. Several research teams from Germany participate in the Network of Excellence and other Research Programs of the European Union, dealing with the Next Generation Internet and Communication networks. The new Excellence Initiative of the DFG and German Government led to the foundation of Excellence Clusters dealing with topics of advanced research on mobile communications, simulation technologies and information technologies. So I think there is a graet potential for possible contributions from these communities to ITC events. Thank you very much for your cooperation ! Best regards, Paul J. Kuehn Chairman Emeritus of IAC of ITC -- -------------------------------------- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h. c. mult. Paul J.

[acf-members] CFP: 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication 2009
by David Lewis 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Apologies for duplicate postings ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- The 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications Barcelona, Spain, June 1519, 2009 Sponsored by IEEE CS (Pending) and in cooperation with ACM (Pending) http://icac2009.acis.ufl.edu/ Call for papers SCOPE To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale computing systems, computers and applications must learn to manage themselves in accordance with high-level guidance from humans a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications (ICAC-09) is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing all aspects of self-management in computing systems and applications. In doing so, we hope to further build and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. The conference builds on previous highly influential meetings in New York, Seattle, Dublin, Jacksonville and Chicago. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing, particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. * Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, fault-tolerance, machine learning, control theory, predictive methods and their use to automate manual operations and enforce behavior. * Software engineering principles and architectures for self-managing systems, based on interoperable Grid Services, agent-based systems, Web Services, model-based systems or novel paradigms such as biological, economic or social. * System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self-managing systems in standalone, distributed, cluster, and Grid computing environments (e.g., health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning). * Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. * Specific self-managing components, such as server, storage, network, data center or specific application elements. Emphasis should be placed on techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. * Management topics, such as specification and modeling of service-level agreements, negotiation/conversation support, behavior enforcement, etc., tie in with IT governance, and interaction with legacy systems. * Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. * Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. * Applications of autonomics to real and complex problems in science, engineering, business and society. PAPER/POSTER SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATION Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference themes. Submitted papers must include original work, and may not be under consideration for another conference or journal. They should also not be under review or be submitted to another forum during the ICAC-09 review process. Authors should submit full papers or posters electronically (PDF or postscript) via EDAS using the link on the ICAC-09 conference web site. Formatting instructions will also be posted at the web site. Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings published by ACM (to be confirmed), which will be distributed at the conference. Authors of accepted papers/poster are expected to present their work at the conference. WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITION ICAC-09 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on specific topics of general interest to the autonomic computing community. Workshops are expected to publish proceedings, and should cover areas that may not be properly addressed in the main scientific program. ICAC-09 will also feature a demonstration and exhibition session consisting of prototypes and technology artifacts such as demonstrating autonomic software or autonomic computing principles. Entries will be judged by a separate subcommittee led by the demo/exhibit chair. INDUSTRY SESSION A singular value of ICAC is the confluence of top researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. ICAC-09 will provide a readout of various technologies currently in play from product perspectives. Among the areas to be addressed are core enablers for autonomic capabilities to be realized, such as frameworks, protocols and autonomic engines in production systems. The industry session also will address current areas of difficulty that present direct opportunities for both academic and corporate research. Topics will be relevant to entrepreneurs, product developers, architects, managers, marketers and end users. Papers and posters reflecting such industry perspectives are especially encouraged and can be submitted as described above. STUDENT AWARDS A student best paper award will be presented, consisting of a commemorative plaque, complimentary student registration to the conference and an honorarium that will partially cover travel & hotel costs. (A student paper is defined as one in which the principal (not sole) author is a student.) The student will be required to present the paper to receive the award.

[Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Sensor Networks for Earth and Space Science Applications (held at IPSN 2009)
by Panangadan, Anand V 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Workshop on Sensor Networks for Earth and Space Science Applications (ESSA 2009) Held in conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) San Francisco, CA, USA April 16, 2009 Wireless sensor networks and their applications have grown steadily during the past decade as a result of the convergence of various technologies spanning wireless, data processing algorithms, computing hardware, storage, and sensor capabilities. The pervasive nature of static and mobile sensors scattered throughout the environment enables multi-resolution capture of environmental or ambient information that serve as the basis of intelligence for knowledge inference and decision-making. Information processing for sensor networks enables new capabilities to operate autonomously and learn, perceive, reason, and react intelligently to their environments. Large scale sensor networks are now being used in a number of Earth and Space Science applications, including large-area terrestrial systems for geologic monitoring, volcano/plume monitoring, seismic (earthquake) monitoring, large-scale ocean monitoring for tsunamis, storm surges, plumes, algae blooms, and weather forecasting systems comprised of aerial and ground/coastal nodes. Such Earth and Space sensor networks are now evolving from "passive observation and reporting systems" to "active and reactive systems" that dynamically evolve in response to complex and rapid spatio-temporal events. This workshop is a forum for scientists and researchers to present new ideas and papers on sensor networks applications in the areas of Earth and Space Science. Papers on all aspects of Earth and Space Applications can be submitted to this workshop. We expect this workshop to have invited papers as well as contributed papers. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, are: - Monitoring of long range and large-scale phenomena - Geologic and Seismic monitoring - Chemical plumes and other atmospheric events - Oceanic events prediction and monitoring - Sensor networks applications in near space and deep space - Data fusion, compression, and processing for sensorwebs - Simulation, emulation, and experiments on sensor networks for Earth and Space Science - Databases, data search/mining technologies and knowledge extraction mechanisms from sensor networks in Earth and Space Science - Information management, and data visualization and display techniques for sensor networks - Signal processing, control, and resource management solutions for sensor networks - AI and machine learning for sensor networks - Intelligent networking and routing protocols for optimal operation of large-scale sensor networks Dates: Submission: February 2, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: March 7, 2009 Final Version Due: March 22, 2009 Webpage: http://viterbi.usc.edu/ESSA2009 General Chair: Srikanta Kumar, BAE Systems Program Co-Chairs: Ashit Talukder, JPL and Cauligi Raghavendra, USC _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Call for Papers Journal of Communications (JCM) Special Issue on Multimedia Communications, Networking and Applications URL: http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_mcna.html With the advancement of multimedia signal processing/compression technology and wide deployment of wired/wireless networks, there is an increasing demand of multimedia communication services. Advanced multimedia processing often aims at optimizing the satisfaction of human perceptual system and introduces higher dependency among its processed data, which exhibit different requirement from traditional data communication. Besides, modern communication networks explore multi-dimensional diversity, such as user, frequency, and location; and utilize finer granularity of resources, such as power and spectrum. When transmitting multimedia over communication networks, there are many issues needed to be investigated to improve the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. For example, how to deploy the cross-layer design methodology to explore the characteristics in the multimedia signal processing unit and communication networks; and optimize the QoS subject to available resources. When multiple nodes and multimedia sources are involved in the networks, one potential issue is how to allocate resources to each node and source to enhance the end-to-end QoS requirement. == Topics == The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of multimedia communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Cross-layer architecture design for multimedia transmission * Content/Network-aware cross-layer design and optimization * QoS-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control * Performance evaluation of cross-layer multimedia transmission design * Joint source and network coding * Cross-layer design for P2P streaming * Ad hoc and infrastructure-based overlay network communication * Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks * Distributed wireless video communications * Multimedia delivery over wireless mesh network * Noncollaborative/collaborative resource management for multi-stream transmission * Cooperative multimedia communications in multihop wireless networks * Error resilience and error concealment techniques for multimedia communications == Important Dates == Submission Deadline: March 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: May 31, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: June 30, 2009 Publication Date: September 2009 == Submission == Submissions should follow the guidelines of Journal of Communications. Prospective authors should submit high quality, original manuscripts that have not appeared, nor are under consideration, in any other journals.
