Dear Colleagues, We apologize if you receive multiple copies. Please find below the Call for papers for IQ2S 2009, The First International Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing, which will be held in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2009, Galveston, Texas, March 9-13, 2009. [+++++++ DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 31! +++++++] We would appreciate it very much if you could disseminate this CFP to your colleagues and students! Best Regards, Wendong Xiao, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Habib M. Ammari, the University of Texas at Arlington, USA Program Co-Chairs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS The First International Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing (IQ2S 2009) Website: http://iq2s2009.i2r.a-star.edu.sg <http://iq2s2009.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/> <http://iq2s2009.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/ > > In Conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2009 (http://www.percom.org <http://www.percom.org/> <http://www.percom.org/ > > ) Galveston, Texas, March 9-13, 2009 Quality of service (QoS) has been studied in various building blocks in pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless or wired networks, with QoS metrics being described in terms of delay, bandwidth, and/or data loss etc. The emerging pervasive computing is application-driven and mission-critical, therefore the information quality (IQ), such as the accuracy of target tracking or event detection, is also critical for the end users, service providers and the system designers. IQ and QoS provisioning for pervasive computing is challenging and difficult due to the resource-constrained, dynamic and distributed nature of the system, the weakness under security attacking, and the lack of a holistic design approach which takes into account the different types of resources and their inter-dependencies. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of IQ and QoS for pervasive computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * System architecture for IQ and QoS provisioning * IQ-oriented signal & information processing (e.g., source coding and data compression) * QoS for target/event detection, localization, tracking and classification * QoS for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks (including coverage and connectivity) * QoS for task mapping and scheduling * Cross-layer design for coordinated QoS (including IQ-QoS integration) * Adaptative IQ and QoS under dynamic environments * Trust, security and privacy issues in IQ and QoS * Development environments and programming languages for IQ and QoS * IQ and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications, such as three-dimensional wireless sensor networks (like underwater sensor network), healthcare, and structural health monitoring * Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials Submission Instructions The submitted paper should be in the IEEE conference format (author guidelines can be found at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM <ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM> ) and should be no more than 6 pages in length.

CfP: First International Workshop on Quality of Context (QuaCon '09)
by Frank Dürr 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

**************************** 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 Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series (pending approval). 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.

[cfp] ICST - Tridentcom 2009 - Deadline Extended to October 15, 2008
by info＠icstconferences.org 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Our apologies for duplicate copies of this call ================================================================== Call for Papers 5th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks & Communities (Tridentcom) April 6-8, 2009, Washington D.C., USA http://www.tridentcom.org/cfp.htm Paper submission deadline extended to: October 15, 2008 Workshop proposal deadline extended to: October 15, 2008 ================================================================== Sponsored by: ICST Technically co-Sponsored by: - CREATE-NET - IEEE Industial Electronics Society - IEEE Computer Society - ACM SIGARCH - Pan European Laboratory Infrastructure Implementation TridentCom 2009 represents a landmark in the history of international testbed conferences. With the rapid convergence of networks and applications, changes in related industries, more complex value chains and increased competition, early prototyping and experimentation will become a key means for driving innovation and development of market oriented solutions. In this context, value generation has shifted from network technologies towards applications and content. Thus, the nature and scope of testbeds have changed substantially in recent years from solely network technologies towards complex service delivery infrastructures riding on various networks. In contrast to traditional vendor, operator and technology specific "closed" testbeds, the notion of "open" testbeds has emerged. "Open" in this context means both wide access as a shared resource and extensibility to include on-demand new end systems, network technologies, protocol stacks, and, most importantly, new middleware and service delivery platforms for specific test purposes. To meet this need, major research and development programs have started around the globe, including GENI in the U.S. and FIRE in Europe, to establish large scale experimental facilities. TridentCom 2009 will provide a forum to explore existing and planned testbed concepts, infrastructures, and tools to address the research and business challenges in a world of global convergence. Prospective authors from academia, industry and government are invited to submit high quality papers in two categories, Full Papers and Testbed Practices Papers, as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management, including, but not limited to: * Next Generation Internet and Clean Slate Protocol Stack Testbeds * GRID Testbeds and P2P Testbeds * Automonic Communications and Self-managing Network Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network and Seamless Services Testbeds * End System and Sensor Testbeds * Smart Home and Converged Communication and Media Services Testbeds * SOA/Web 2.0 Services Testbeds * Next Generation Services Testbeds * Service Creation and Provisioning Testbeds * Next Generation Networks, IMS, and Quad Play Testbeds * Configurable Hardware/Software Platforms for Testbeds * Testbed Tools for Interoperability, Benchmarking and Traffic Measurements * Innovative Measurements Methodologies and Tools for Networks and Services * Industrial informatics * Wireless industrial communications * Networked industrial automation Important dates: ---------------- Papers submission deadline: October 15, 2008 Workshop proposal deadline: October 15, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: January 15, 2009 The Tridentcom'05 and Tridentcom'06 Proceedings have been indexed by Engineering Information (EI).

08 Oct '08

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. Call for Papers =============== 22nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems ARCS 2009 ============================================================================ - System Architecture and Energy Awareness - ============================================ held from March, 10th to March 13th in Delft, The Netherlands ============================================================= Extended Submission deadline October 19th ========================================= The ARCS series of conferences has over 30 years of tradition reporting top notch results in computer architecture and operating systems research. This year's focus is put on energy awareness viewed from two different perspectives. Firstly, this deals with the improvement of computer systems to be as energy-efficient as possible (particularly for specific applications). One can think of heterogeneous multi-core architectures or reconfigurable architectures for this purpose. Secondly, this addresses the usage of computer systems to reduce the energy consumption of other systems, which might lead to problems of communication and cooperation. Both aspects are relevant for the conference. Like the previous conferences in this series, it continues to be an important forum for computer architecture research. The proceedings of ARCS 2009 will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) (http://www.springer.com/lncs). After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their contributions for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture. Also, a best paper and a best presentation award will be presented at the conference. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers on one of the following topics: * Energy-awareness, green computing. * Computer architecture topics such as multi-cores, memory systems, and parallel computing. * Adaptive system architectures such as reconfigurable systems in hardware and software. * Operating Systems including but not limited to scheduling, memory management, power management, and RTOS. * System aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing such as sensor nodes, novel input/output devices, novel computing platforms, architecture modeling, and middleware. * Organic and Autonomic Computing including both theoretical and practical results on self-organization, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection techniques. * Embedded systems including but not limited to architecture, communication, design methodologies, and applications. * Network Centric and Grid Computing issues with a focus on middleware.

CALL FOR PAPERS For the reliable performance evaluation of wireless networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages in ACM conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the SCENES website.

From a number of angles it appears that we have reached a point in the impressive development cycle of the Internet that now requires some major change. However, research and development in these areas is still at an early stage and the space of potential solutions is far from being explored. The International Workshop on the Network of the Future (Future-Net 09) is a platform for both clean-slate as well as evolutionary approaches for a redesign of the Internet. It will uniquely bring together approaches driven from mobile and wireless demands, network virtualization, network self-management, content and sensor networking and discuss these from both a technical as well as socio-economic perspective. Topics of Interest: We solicit contributions that report early results addressing research challenges in topics related to the network of the future. Particularly, we want to identify and address issues with a high potential for significant impacts on the way the network is functioning and being used. The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners but fresh ideas in the form of early results, position papers and systems papers are particularly welcome. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: - Alternatives to established technologies such as routing - Re-design and re-evaluation of today's architectural principles - End-to-end virtualization of the network - Technology to introduce vital but missing functionality - Self-management of network services - New media-aware transport services - New approaches to network security - Mechanisms to interconnect extremely heterogeneous edge networks - Technology based on new communication paradigms - Wide-scale Internets of Things - Machine-to-machine networking - Socio-economic for the future Internet - Business models for the Internet of Things - Business drivers for radical changes in the network - Regulatory frameworks for a new networking layer Paper Submission Guidelines: All papers will be reviewed by our international program committee.

The resulting global-level behaviors usually show a number of properties essential for success in natural environments such as: adaptivity to environmental variations, robustness to internal changes and failures, and effectiveness and scalability of performance. Because of all these architectural and performance properties, the observation and reverse-engineering of successful processes in organic, inorganic, and animal systems in nature, has drawn in recent years the attention of many researchers and engineers working in the fields of parallel and distributed systems, and, more in particular, in telecommunications networks. In these domains, nature has provided basic inspiration for the definition of a number of novel algorithms and computational frameworks able to deal effectively with the challenges of current networked systems, which show a growing structural and computational complexity and are made of a large number of highly dynamic and heterogeneous components. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum to present cutting edge research on nature-inspired approaches to problems arising in the design, control, protection, and management of network systems, and to outline new trends in parallel nature-inspired computation for the solution of complex problems. EvoCOMNET is part of EVOSTAR (EVO*), Europe's premier co-located events in the field of evolutionary and nature-inspired computing. EVO* includes the EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoBIO conferences and a number of workshops collectively entitled EvoWorkshops. EVO* 2009 is the 11th edition of the event, details and cfps can be found at: http://www.evostar.org --------------------------- SELECTED TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------- EvoCOMNET 2009 solicits contributions dealing with the application of ideas from natural processes and systems to the definition, analysis, and development of novel parallel and distributed algorithms, and to the solution of problems of practical and theoretical interest in all domains related to network systems. The scope of the workshop emphasizes the contribution of nature-inspired approaches to the following domains: + Network analysis and design + Routing protocols + Transport protocols + Network protection systems + Load balancing + Quality-of-service provisioning + Mobile ad hoc networks + Sensor networks + Network robotics and sensor-actor networks + Distributed search and computation in P2P networks + Parallel and distributed optimization algorithms + Grid computing + Distributed data mining + Tuning and application of hybrid approaches Particularly welcome are papers reporting: * Applications of nature-inspired techniques to novel problems in the domain of telecommunications networks and parallel and distributed systems * Detailed comparative studies of nature-inspired solutions versus more classical/established techniques * Definition of innovative techniques and/or computational frameworks based on biological systems or processes that have not been considered so far in the literature of nature-inspired systems * Analytical studies of the behavior of the proposed systems * Performance evaluation and visualization of parallel and distributed systems inspired by nature * Real-world implementations * Studies based on real-world data sets * Live demonstrations of algorithm behavior ------------------------------ PUBLICATION DETAILS AND AWARDS ------------------------------ + Conference Proceedings: ---------------------- Accepted papers will be published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) together with papers from other workshops of the EVO* conference. + Journal Special Issue: --------------------- The authors of the best selected papers from the EvoCOMNET workshop will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue of the International Journal of Adaptive Communication Systems (IJAACS). + Best Paper Award: ---------------- A Best Paper Award will be given to the author(s) of the paper presented at the workshop that will receive the best evaluation marks from the reviewers and the Session Chairs. -------------------- SUBMISSION PROCEDURE -------------------- Please refer to the http://www.evostar.org website for the submission procedure.

========================================================================= Our apologies for duplicate copies of this call ========================================================================= Call for Papers 5th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks & Communities (TRIDENTCOM 2009) April 6-8, 2009, Washington D.C., USA http://www.tridentcom.org/ Sponsored by: ICST Technically co-Sponsored by: - CREATE-NET - ACM SIGARCH - IEEE Industrial Electronics Society - IEEE Computer Society - Pan European Laboratory Infrastructure Implementation TridentCom 2009 represents a landmark in the history of international testbed conferences. With the rapid convergence of networks and applications, changes in related industries, more complex value chains and increased competition, early prototyping and experimentation will become a key means for driving innovation and development of market oriented solutions. In this context, value generation has shifted from network technologies towards applications and content. Thus, the nature and scope of testbeds have changed substantially in recent years from solely network technologies towards complex service delivery infrastructures riding on various networks. In contrast to traditional vendor, operator and technology specific "closed" testbeds, the notion of "open" testbeds has emerged. "Open" in this context means both wide access as a shared resource and extensibility to include on-demand new end systems, network technologies, protocol stacks, and, most importantly, new middleware and service delivery platforms for specific test purposes. To meet this need, major research and development programs have started around the globe, including GENI in the U.S. and FIRE in Europe, to establish large scale experimental facilities. TridentCom 2009 will provide a forum to explore existing and planned testbed concepts, infrastructures, and tools to address the research and business challenges in a world of global convergence. Prospective authors from academia, industry and government are invited to submit high quality papers in two categories, Full Papers and Testbed Practices Papers, as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management, including, but not limited to: * Next Generation Internet and Clean Slate Protocol Stack Testbeds * GRID Testbeds and P2P Testbeds * Automonic Communications and Self-managing Network Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network and Seamless Services Testbeds * End System and Sensor Testbeds * Smart Home and Converged Communication and Media Services Testbeds * SOA/Web 2.0 Services Testbeds * Next Generation Services Testbeds * Service Creation and Provisioning Testbeds * Next Generation Networks, IMS, and Quad Play Testbeds * Configurable Hardware/Software Platforms for Testbeds * Testbed Tools for Interoperability, Benchmarking and Traffic Measurements * Innovative Measurements Methodologies and Tools for Networks and Services * Industrial informatics * Wireless industrial communications * Networked industrial automation Important dates: ---------------- Papers submission deadline: October 15, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: January 15, 2009 The Tridentcom'05 and Tridentcom'06 Proceedings have been indexed by Engineering Information (EI).
