*** We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Please notice the New Submission Deadline! *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Third IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN'09) June 26, 2009, Montreal, Quebec, Canada in conjunction with ICDCS 2009 http://www.cse.nd.edu/~darts/wiman09.html New Submission Deadline: December 17, 2008 *************************************************************************************************** Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: - Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking - Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking - MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) - Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols - Quality of Services provisioning - Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks - Network deployment, localization, and synchronization - Topology construction and maintenance - Modeling and performance evaluations - Cross layer optimizations - Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms - Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks - Testbed, prototype, and practical systems - Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks - Vehicular mesh and ad hoc networks - Wireless sensor networks - Self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems Important Dates ----------------------- - Paper submission due: December 17, 2008 - Acceptance notification: February 7, 2009 - Camera-ready due: March 7, 2009 - Workshop: June 26, 2009 Submissions and Publications -------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Reminder: CfP First International Workshop on Quality of Context (QuaCon 09) Datum: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 14:40:56 +0100 Von: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.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 *************************** First International Workshop on Quality of Context (QuaCon '09) http://www.quacon09.nexus.uni-stuttgart.de/ 25 - 26 June, 2009 Stuttgart, Germany ************************************************************************ Advances in sensor technology, wireless communication, and mobile devices lead to the proliferation of sensors in our physical environment. At the same time detailed digital models of buildings, towns, or even the globe become widely available. Integrating the huge amount of available sensor data into spatial models results in highly dynamic models of the real world, often called context models. A wide range of applications can substantially benefit from common context models. However, context data is inherently associated with uncertainty, which has to be taken into account by both context management systems and applications. Appropriate ontologies, models, and metrics are needed to specify the quality of context data, including aspects of degradation, consistency, and trust. Those concepts are needed on different levels of abstraction, including the raw sensor data, observable context, as well as the high-level context derived from other context information by means of reasoning techniques. In addition, methods and calculi are required to assess the quality of context data on various levels. For an integrated context-management approach a framework is needed that defines the appropriate abstraction levels and that provides quality mappings between these layers. Other important issues are application-specific quality concepts and methods to handle uncertain context data. If context data is to be presented to human users, appropriate visualizing techniques are required to present the data together with its quality assessments. On the other hand, if applications specify what level of degradation they accept, this information can be used to optimize context management by means of suitable relaxation techniques. Research in context management and in particular context quality requires an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, the QuaCon Workshop aims to bring together researchers from various fields to discuss approaches to context quality and to make a consolidated contribution towards an integrated way of treating context quality. Topics covered by the workshop include the following: - Models for degradation and consistency of context data - Degradation, spatial ontologies and spatial data mining - Trust in context data - Methods and calculi for context quality assessment - Frameworks and metrics for context quality - Uncertainty in sensor data processing - Quality-aware algorithms for context management - Quality-aware event and stream processing - Uncertainty in reasoning on context data - Application-specific context quality and case studies - Visualization of context quality Submitted papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by the program committee, and accepted papers will be published in the post-workshop proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages and be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines [1]. Papers not adhering to these guidelines or the page limit are subject to rejection without review.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS GEOSENSOR NETWORKS 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13-14 July 2009, Oxford, United Kingdom Website: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/geosensornetworks/ Sponsored by: University of Oxford Papers to be published by Springer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Geosensor networks shift the traditional centralized paradigm of monitoring a geographical area from the macroscale to the microscale, by using distributed sensors to measure variables of interest (such as environmental, biological and chemical variables, seismic activity and geolocated videofeeds). Whilst having the ability to provide data with unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, geosensor networks have pushed the frontiers of traditional GIS research into the realms of computer science, introducing issues such as data fusion, geolocated queries, energy efficient data collection and data mining and interpretation. The incorporation of mobile devices into these networks allows data acquisition to be undertaken on a spatially varying sampling resolution, introducing new research avenues such as co-operative sensing and dynamic coverage. Furthermore, geosensor networks are not only constrained to passively monitor a region, through actuators, they also have the ability to influence or modify their environment. Research in geosensor networks spans multiple fields, ranging from strategies for intelligent data acquisition to virtual reality interactions with environmental dynamics. Of particular interest are applications of geosensor networks, such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, early warning systems and wildlife tracking. This workshop seeks to address these issues, by bringing together leading experts in a two day forum to present novel research and exchange ideas relating to the state of the art and its future directions. Real world results are particularly welcomed, as are reports of interesting or challenging deployments.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: The Second International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems (WCPS2009) Datum: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 16:00:12 +0800 (HKT) Von: GU Zonghua <zgu(a)cse.ust.hk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br CALL FOR PAPERS The Second International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems (WCPS2009) --- in conjunction with ICDCS 2009, June 22, 2009, Montreal, Quebec, Canada Workshop site: http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~xueliu/Confs/WCPS2009/ Conference site: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/icdcs2009/ICDCS_2009.html Important Dates: Paper submission: December 14, 2008 Notification of acceptance: Feb. 11, 2009 Camera ready papers: March 13, 2009 We are currently witnessing the emergence an infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution that is enabled by Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Cyber-physical systems are physical and engineered systems whose operations are integrated, monitored, and controlled by a computational core. The integration of computational and physical processes exhibit complicated behavior that can not be analyzed by the computational or physical sciences alone. These systems also transcend traditional computer-controlled systems because of their scale, dependence on man-machine interaction and their rich communication infrastructure that is enabled by the Internet. Some of the most challenging R&D software problems for cyber-physical systems are those associated with producing distributed, real-time, and embedded platforms and applications, and where computers control physical, chemical, or biological processes or devices. Examples of such systems include airplanes and air traffic control systems, automobiles, power grids, oil refineries, and patient monitoring systems. Despite advances in standards-based commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies, key challenges must be addressed before COTS software can be used to build mission-critical distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems effectively and productively. Furthermore, there are existing critical infrastructures that oversee the operations of everything from nuclear power plants to traffic lights and yet they may not even be able to accept static upgrades, or patches, or any dynamic change of behavior, but they will remain with us for quite some time. Dynamically retrofitting these systems while maintaining their stability within a cyber environment is a significant challenge yet to be overcome. The International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems (WCPS2009) is an international forum for researchers to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice of CPS, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the future of CPS. The technical program of WCPS2009 will consist of invited talks, paper presentations, and panel discussions. Topics of Interest In summary, the main topics of interest are on grand challenges, requirements, architectures, innovations and abstractions for Cyber-Physical Systems as well as technical challenges to interface and manipulate the Physical World. In particular, we are seeking papers in, but not limited to, the following main areas: [Architecture and infrastructure] Current architectures for cyber physical systems tend to be based on layers of network, OS, and middleware that have evolved over decades in the context of general-purpose computing systems. One goal of this topic area is to seek architectural abstractions, mechanisms, and formalisms that are better suited to the needs of cyber-physical systems. Some example topics include: approaches for refactoring the technology base to collapse/remove layers; techniques for managing QoS properties top-to-bottom; and end-to-end in ultra-large-scale cyber-physical systems. [Fundamental system services] Decades of experience with enterprise systems have yielded reasonably good abstractions and technologies for developing reusable services, such as transactions, discovery, naming, and event notification. There is much less consensus and experience, however, on the appropriate abstractions and technologies for fundamental system services in cyber-physical systems. Some example topics include 'multi-ility' services, such as security, reliable, and predictable replica-based fault detection and isolation frameworks that can operate in resource-constrained safety- and mission-critical CPS environments. [Service composition/synthesis] This area involves rigorous, evidence-producing composition (and composites) of system services, often using novel languages and models of computation. Some example topics include "type systems for QoS contracts" or "checkable properties of dynamic event structures" or "synthesis of mixed-criticality RTOS tailored for domain X". The time and scheduling, behavioral interaction, and partitioning/isolation will be central cross-cutting issues. [Interaction and coordination] A single critical infrastructure facility can have thousands of devices, such as in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, that spread over hundreds of miles. The devices themselves are typically in a physically protected environment; yet the interactions among them, on the other hand, go through the cyber space which poses a challenge to us and calls for a paradigm that is interaction and coordination centric. [Integration] CPS research is fundamentally different from prior computer controlled research. One aspect of the difference lies in the tighter integration and co-design of the cyber and the physi-cal subsystems. In the past the stability theory in engineering concerns about the suppression of various kind of errors -- uncertainties in the model, disturbance from environment, noise in sensing and errors in actuators -- except that bugs in at the heart of the control process: the complex software that controls the plant. On the other hand, main stream software fault tolerance techniques such as primary-and-standby do not take advantage of the fact that the physical plants must obey laws of nature; This opens new insights for the integration of cyberand physical systems. [Proactive monitoring] There are numerous existing systems, such as chemical plants, oil refiners, power grids, that have been in existence and correctly functioning for many years, and until now were not considered vulnerable because these systems were not envisioned to run in the cyber environment which has become today's reality. Theses systems face the high risk of being a terrorist target though cyber invasions. On the other side, it is out of the question that we re-build or prescribe a complete upgrade of all these systems. Worse yet, it may even be too expensive to take the mentality of ``dispatch-and- then-patch''. Therefore, external, lightweight and proactive monitoring of the systems is essential in building or retrofitting CPS. [Applications and experiences] New CPS applications and experiences, such as Tele-Physical Services, Smart Transportation, etc. We learn from our past experiences: through our encounters with real-life applications and experiences with new technologies, we develop the skill set and tools to perform better in the future. Paper Submission The workshop solicits original and previously unpublished papers reporting results from research and/or industrial experience as well as discussion of grand challenges and requirements. Submit a full paper of 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society proceedings Manuscripts: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] The 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications Datum: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 10:08:36 -0500 Von: S. Masoud Sadjadi <sadjadi(a)cs.fiu.edu> An: S. Masoud Sadjadi <sadjadi(a)cs.fiu.edu> (Apology for multiple copies) The 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications Barcelona, Spain, June 15-19, 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 IEEE Computer Society (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.

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.
