[Tccc] CfP: ROADS'08, Madrid, 9 December 2008
by Andy Bavier 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

CfP: ROADS'08 - Madrid, Spain, 9 December 2008 http://www.sigcomm.org/co-next2008/roads.html The 3rd International Workshop on Real Overlays And Distributed Systems (ROADS) seeks papers on the challenges in building large-scale distributed systems and networking overlays. ROADS is a place to share new experiences, and work in progress, with an emphasis on systems that actually run in the wide-area Internet. The Real in ROADS refers to systems that are deployed on a real platform for a period of time. They might be existing widely deployed systems, new research prototypes, or more permanent services, but submissions should address technical challenges they present for designers and researchers. We also welcome papers that explore the extent to which results retain their validity when moving from simulation (e.g., ModelNet) to emulation (e.g., Emulab), and/or to more realistic deployment settings (e.g., PlanetLab). The workshop program will include invited speakers and presentations of peer-reviewed papers. Papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of stimulating a lively discussion, and technical merit. We encourage submissions of early work containing novel and interesting ideas. We envision ROADS as a forum where participants can receive early feedback on the design and implementation of systems that may later form the core of submissions to conferences such as CoNEXT, SIGCOMM, NSDI, SOSP, OSDI, MobiCom, or MobiSys. Topics of interest include, but are by no means limited to: * Self-organizing, autonomous, and federated networked systems * Overlays and peer-to-peer systems * Online social networks: privacy, reputation, content sharing, search * Video-On-Demand and other advanced content distribution systems * Cloud computing and data center networks * Managing, debugging, and diagnosing problems in distributed systems * Virtualization and resource management for networked systems * Architectural support for improving security or availability * Design and evaluation of Internet-scale testbeds * Experiences with deployed systems (e.g., CDNs, metro-area Wi-Fi networks, massive multiplayer game systems) * Addressing novel challenges for the developing world * Energy efficient computing in networked environments Important Dates Submission deadline: September 12th, 2008 (Friday, 23:59 CEST) Notifications of acceptance: October 20th, 2008 Final versions due: November 14th, 2008 Submissions Submissions should be at most 6 pages in length (including figures, tables, and references), in standard ACM two-column format, using at least 10 point type. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. Submissions should expose a new problem, advocate a specific solution, or report on actual experience. Instructions regarding the submission process can be found on the ROADS'08 web site. Papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and will be included in the ACM CoNEXT 2008 electronic proceedings.

[Tccc] WMAN 2009 Call for Papers
by Matthias Frank 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

============================================================================ Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ============================================================================ 5th Workshop on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (WMAN 2009) in conjunction with the 16th bi-annual Conference on Communication in Distributed Systems (KiVS) (German: ITG/GI - Fachtagung "Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen (KiVS)") March 5 + 6, 2009, Kassel, Germany http://www.kivs09.de/ Workshop URL: http://wman2009.cs.uni-bonn.de/ General information: Welcome to the Workshop on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks! Based on the success of the preceding WMAN workshops of 2007 back to 2002, the workshop will also be organised for 2009. For the upcoming workshop, we are very happy to introduce WMAN 2009 for the second time being hosted in the context of the bi-annual ITG/GI conference on communication in distributed systems (German: ITG/GI - Fachtagung "Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen") - see http://www.kivs09.de/. Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) show a large interest in application and protocol research. While the basic organization of the routing tasks has been addressed for quite some time, the emerging areas include auto-configuration, security and data privacy, or an efficient use of various resources, such as bandwidth, energy, or memory. Especially driven by the hand-held or mobile devices restrictions, the lack of centralized managers, and a high dynamicity of users, devices, and applications, known solutions to wire-line protocols, mechanisms, and systems cannot be applied directly to MANETs. Therefore, this workshop WMAN’09 combines in a coherent manner questions from the lower radio transmission layer all the way up to the application layer relevant in MANETs. Furthermore, dedicated application scenarios, such as vehicle-to-vehicle communications or submarine communications are of high interest. Workshop paper topics include, but are not limited to: • Basic Technologies (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth) • Architectures and protocols • Routing mechanisms • Scalability and simulations of performance • Energy efficiency • QoS for ad-hoc networks • Auto-configuration and addressing • Security and data privacy in ad-hoc networks • Software platforms (middleware) for mobile applications • Applications for ad-hoc network • Location-based services and their deployment • Context management for ad-hoc services • Pricing models for commercial ad-hoc services • Accounting schemes for ad-hoc services • Management mechanisms of ad-hoc networks • Self-configuration and self-organization in ad-hoc networks Addressees of the workshop: Goal of the WMAN workshop is to enable an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers on an international level - under the umbrella of research topics on wireless mobile ad-hoc networks. We encourage you to submit original papers describing research results or practical solutions, as well as ongoing work or challenging new research issues in the area of ad-hoc networks. Important dates: - October 31, 2008: Deadline for submissions. All papers have to be registered by October 24, 2008. - November 30, 2008: Notification of acceptance. - December 20, 2008: Camera ready version. - March 2-6, 2009: Conference KiVS in Kassel - March 5+6, 2009: Workshop days, WMAN 2009 and others Submission of papers: Papers are solicited as full papers (in English language), each of which will be subject to a full peer review proc-ess. Submissions have to follow the author guidelines and must include: title, authors, affiliations, and 100-word abstract. The corresponding author should be identified clearly, including name, position, mailing address, tele-phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. An electronic, PDF-based submission of papers is mandatory. Information on the paper length and formatting instructions for the papers will be published on the workshop web page as soon as available. All workshop papers of the KiVS conference will be published in a common workshop publication (details are currently under negotiation - as of July 18). Details on electronic paper submission will also be published on the workshop web page.

[Tccc] [CFP] P2P-NVE 2008 -- Paper Submission 7-day Reminder
by publication acnlab 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

[Paper Submission Firm Deadline: July 25Call for Papers ] The 2nd International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Networked Virtual Environments in conjunction with The 14th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS 2008) December 8 -10, 2008 Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA http://acnlab.csie.ncu.edu.tw/P2PNVE2008/ Theme, Scope, and Motivation* *PURPOSE AND SCOPE The rapid growth and popularity of networked virtual environments (NVEs) such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) in recent years have spawned a series of research interests in constructing such large-scale virtual environments. For increasing scalability and decreasing the cost of management and deployment, more and more studies propose using peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures to construct large-scale NVEs for games, multimedia virtual worlds and other applications. The goal of such research may be to support an Earth-scale virtual environment or to make hosting virtual worlds more affordable than existing client-server approaches. However, existing solutions for consistency control, persistent data storage, multimedia data dissemination, and cheat-prevention may not be straightforwardly adapted to such new environments, novel ideas and designs thus are needed to realize the potential of P2P-based NVEs. The 1st International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Networked Virtual Environments (P2P-NVE 2007) was held in Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 2007. To adhere to the theme of P2P-NVE 2007, the theme of P2P-NVE 2008 is to solicit original and previously unpublished new ideas on general P2P schemes and on the design and realization of P2P-based NVEs. The workshops aim to facilitate discussions and idea exchanges by both academics and practitioners. Student participations are also strongly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *P2P systems and infrastructures *Applications of P2P systems *Performance evaluation of P2P systems *Trust and security issues in P2P systems *Network support for P2P systems *Fault tolerance in P2P systems *Efficient P2P resource lookup and sharing *Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) and related issues *Constructions of P2P overlays for NVEs *Multicast for P2P NVEs *P2P NVE content distribution *3D streaming for P2P NVEs *Voice communication on P2P NVEs *Persistent storage for P2P NVEs *Security and cheat-prevention mechanisms for P2P games *Data structures and queries for P2P NVEs *Consistency control for P2P NVEs *Design considerations for P2P NVEs *Prototypes of P2P NVEs *P2P control for mobile NVEs *P2P NVE applications on mobile devices IMPORTANT DATES Submission: July 25, 2008 Notification: August 25, 2008 Camera ready: September 12, 2008 PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts, not to exceed 6 double-columned, single-spaced pages, to web site http://acnlab.csie.ncu.edu.tw/P2PNVE2008.

[Tccc] CFP: CoNGN - November 2008 - Orlando, Florida
by Abdelmounaam Rezgui 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

International Workshop on Collaboration and Cognition in Next Generation Networks (CoNGN 2008) www.criticalnet.org/CoNGN In conjunction with CollaborateCom 2008 Orlando, Florida, November 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The rapid developments in the Internet and emerging alternative network protocol stacks promise unprecedented levels of sharing of information, computing and communication resources through distributed collaborations of diverse network elements. Collaborative networking comprises complex systems with many tunable interdependent components, parameters and network performance objectives. To realize their potential, collaborative networks need to provide effective and efficient support for ubiquitous integration of heterogeneous technologies such as mobile devices and infrastructures, web services, grid computing systems, various operating environments, and diverse COTS products. In addition, research is needed to provide network cognition, which entails learning and reasoning by the diverse network elements to dynamically select the ideal network operating state and adapt to varying network and group contexts in order to optimize end-to-end performance of the network as a whole. Moreover, networking aspects such as autonomicity, security, trust, management, quality-of-service support and localization need to be cognizant of group dynamics. Aparently, numerous challenges face the realization of collaborative networking. These challenges include balancing the competing goals of collaboration, autonomy and security; allowing mobile users and groups to seamlessly communicate throughout multiple heterogeneous networks and enjoy multiparty multimedia applications while on the move between different administrative domains; developing new APIs to enable applications to detect available access networks and learn their characteristics, thus becoming aware of location, context, and quality-of-service; and carefully optimizing network parameters across the entire protocol stack. The key goal of this workshop is to foster active interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate added momentum towards research addressing collaborative and cognitive networking aspects. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: Architectural principles for decentralized information, computing and communication resource sharing Moving networks and dynamic coalition environments Collaboration-aware network management Peer-to-peer collaborative networking Bio-inspired collaborative networking Cognitive and autonomic network protocols and services Collaborative sensor-actuator networks Policy-based management of collaborative networks Coopererative, un-cooperative, and anti-cooperative behavior characterization, identification, modeling, and impact analysis Context modelling and management in collaborative networks Network monitors, API and network discovery services Security, trust, and privacy models, frameworks, architectures, and systems for collaborative networks Security, dependability, privacy, QoS, performance, and energy awareness and trade-offs Middleware for large-scale, distributed, multi-modal collaboration Admission, delegation, accountability, and information flow control in collaborative networks Ubiquitous communication support for social networking Web services and grid technologies for supporting multidomain collaborative applications Testbeds and experimental frameworks for collaboration and cognition in network prtocol stacks General Co-Chairs Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA Silvia Geordano, University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA Program Chairs Deepa Kundur, Texas A&M University, USA Cristina Pinotti, University of Perguia, Italy M.

11th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management 1 - 5 June, 2009, New York, New York, USA "Making Management Scalable, Robust, Cost-Effective and Revenue-Generating" http://www.ieee-im.org/ The Eleventh IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) will be held on 1 - 5 June 2009 at Columbia University in New York, New York, USA. The IM series of conferences has been held in odd-numbered years since 1989 (taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS), and has established itself as the main venue for original research in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. IM 2009 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). Despite the ongoing research in the last two decades, and the great improvements in management tools and systems, integrated management of networked systems is still facing many challenges. With a continued increase in connectivity and the deployment of wireless technologies, there has been a dramatic growth in the size and complexity of networked systems at the same time that reliance upon them has increased. This dependence has highlighted the need for these systems to be reliable, secure and have predictable performance characteristics. Management mechanisms are keys to achieving these goals, but they must not add significantly to complexity and cost or the problems will be compounded. In short we need to Make Management Scalable, Robust, and Cost-effective, and to make sure it helps generate the revenue to support it. IM 2009 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share Practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, and birds-of-a-feather sessions. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services. Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the IM 2009 web site. Papers must be written in English. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions will be rejected without further review. Full papers are required for review. If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10 printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style. For samples and templates, please refer to the IM 2009 author instructions. IM 2009 covers all areas of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Topics of interest that will be given special attention include: Management Paradigms, Theories and Models - Policy and role based management - Theory (control, optimization, economic) for management - Biologically inspired management systems and techniques - Evaluation and benchmarking of management systems and technologies Role of Virtualization in network and systems management - Managing virtual resources and services - Information modeling in virtual environments Architectures, methods and Enabling Technologies - Management standards and enabling technologies - Operations and management functions - Management of emerging networks and services Service Engineering and Operational Challenges - Service design and quality assurance - Service discovery and negotiation - QoS management Organizational Aspects of IT Service Management - Process engineering and frameworks - Workflow management - Business alignment of IT service management Autonomic Computing and Self-Management - Self-repairing distributed systems - Self-adaptive e-business services - Self-organizing service deployment Important Dates * Abstract Registration: August 1, 2008 * Submission: August 8, 2008 * Notification of Acceptance: November 15, 2008 * Camera ready Copy: January 15, 2009 NOTE: 1.

15 Jul '08

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless and Pervasive Communications for Healthcare Wireless and Pervasive Communications for Healthcare, a new and growing interdisciplinary field, calls for innovation in information and communications technology to facilitate reliable, comprehensive, and high quality heathcare. Advances in networking infrastructure as well as middleware are vital to delivering telemedicine services regardless of a patient's physical location. In-home care for elderly persons is costly and can require sensors, wireless monitoring devices, and networking infrastructure and middleware to automatically contact emergency services. Healthcare is motivating unique basic research challenges in wireless and pervasive communications due to requirements for safe signal propagation characteristics, low network latency, low packet loss, high quality image and video transmission, and the need for safe, secure, and dependable operation. The goal of this issue is to report on cutting-edge research in communications for healthcare. Basic research papers are solicited, but papers on systems integration or deployment will also be considered. We seek papers that describe original and unpublished contributions, and that reflect those aspects of communications research for healthcare which are distinctly different from communications research in general. Possible topics include: . New Network architectures for wireless telemedicine . Unique wireless network research issues to support healthcare applications . Regionally-lossless and near-lossless coding for medical images . Unique middleware for enabling medical applications . Equipping ambulances with wireless and sensor networks . E-surgery using large bandwidth connections . Mobile and wearable technologies for next generation drug trials . Organic Computing for Healthcare Networks . Remote tactile sensors for remote diagnosis . Actuators and prompters for rehabilitation and behavior modification . Sensors and mobile devices for continuous patient monitoring . Cyber-physical systems for patient monitoring . Sensor networks for hospitals, operating rooms, elderly monitoring . Autonomic Sensor Networks for Healthcare Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/. Authors MUST submit their manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website. Submission deadline: July 30, 2008 Acceptance Notification: Nov 15, 2008 Final Manuscript due: Jan 15, 2009 Publication: 2nd quarter 2009 Guest editors: Athanasios V.
