[Apologies if you received multiple copies of this call for papers] =================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ***** EXTENDED DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2008 ***** =================================================================== The 2008 International Workshop on Adaptation in Wireless Sensor Networks (AWSN-08) http://tweb.ing.unipi.it/awsn08 to be held in conjunction with The 2008 International Conference on Intelligent Pervasive Computing (IPC-08) (http://ipc2008.he.nias.ac.jp/) Sydney, Australia, December 10-12, 2008 Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society =================================================================== Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are networked embedded systems that rely on wireless communication. WSNs are supposed to run long-lived applications. During operation, applications are likely to experience unpredictable environment conditions that require to dynamically change their behavior. With current reprogramming technology, such an adaptation is still an open issue, as it can be achieved either at the expense of significant energy consumption or through software complexity. The challenge is to achieve WSN systems that not only embed intelligence into environments, but also have embedded intelligence for reprogramming themselves after their deployment. The workshop aims at stimulating researchers and practitioners in embedded software, autonomic computing, ad-hoc networking and all other relevant areas to present their ideas and work in progress for advancing the technologies that enable adaptive WSN applications. The expected number of participants will be 15. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Re-programming techniques * Self-healing, self-protection, self-configuration,self-optimization * Intelligent power management and coverage * Virtual machines * Opportunistic computing * Adaptive networking protocols * Viral programming * Security * Design and deployment of adaptive applications PAPER SUBMISSION The program committee encourage original, high-quality submissions from researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. All papers will be reviewed according to their originality, significance, correctness, presentation and relevance. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society in the combined IPC 2008 workshops proceedings. Please follow the submission instructions that will be made available at the workshop's website.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE ICC 2009 Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Symposium Datum: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:15:51 -0400 Von: Tommaso Melodia <tmelodia(a)eng.buffalo.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE ICC 2009 Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium June 14.-18. 2009, Dresden, Germany CALL FOR PAPERS http://www.comsoc.org/confs/icc/2009/cfp_symp09.html Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: September 8, 2008 Acceptance Notification: January 15, 2009 Camera-Ready Papers: March 1, 2009 Description ----------- Ad-hoc and sensor networks (AHSNET) are self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes that create a temporary network infrastructure. The key advantages of these networks include allowing anywhere, anytime network connectivity with lack of centralized control, ownership, and regulatory influence; their ability to operate unattended in harsh environments in which contemporary human-in-the-loop monitoring schemes are risky, inefficient and sometimes infeasible; and ease of reconfiguration to fit specific application needs. However, the resource-constrained nature of the employed devices and the self-organization of the network, coupled with an often unattended deployment of a large population of nodes, pose non-conventional challenges and motivate the need for special techniques for dependable design and management of AHSNET. The last few years have witnessed a growing interest in the application of AHSNET in fields such as emergency search-and-rescue operations, decision making during combat, data acquisition operations in inhospitable terrains, dangerous battlefields, outer space, or deep oceans, among others. Such interest has fueled a wealth of research ideas that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. The ICC Symposium on AHSNET opts to bring together researcher and practitioners from academia and industry and foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Topics of Particular Interest --------------------------------- * Architecures and Applications o Application of ad hoc and sensor networks o Underwater and underground sensor networks o Sensor networks for biomedical applications o RFID networking * Physical Layer Design and Technology o Radio for ad-hoc and sensor networks o Wireless sensor and actor networks o Wireless, ad hoc, and sensor devices o Ultra wide band technology for ad hoc and sensor networks * Protocol Design o MAC, routing, and transport layer protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks o Energy saving and power control protocols o Frequency and channel allocation algorithms * Planning and Services o Deployment strategies and coverage analysis of sensor networks o Service discovery in ad-hoc and sensor networks o Localization algorithms and ranging technologies o Sensor based context aware services * Quality of Service Provisioning and Optimization Techniques o In-network processing and data storage o Data aggregation and query processing techniques o Wireless multimedia sensor networks o Multimedia processing in sensor networks o Cross-layer design and optimization o Synchronization and coordination techniques in ad hoc and sensor networks o Scheduling and resource management algorithms o Mobility management and modeling for sensors o Topology control and management * Performance Analysis and Design Dependability o Formal models and validation techniques o Lightweight and non-intrusive network monitoring algorithms o Security, privacy, vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures o Survivability, Fault-tolerance and reliability * Prototypes, Tools and Design Environments o Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation o Experimental prototypes and testbeds o Energy scavenging technologies o New simulation languages, methodologies, and tools Sponsoring Technical Committees ------------------------------- IEEE ComSoc Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks TC IEEE ComSoc Wireless Communications TC Instructions for Authors ------------------------ Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work.

========================================================================= 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 1, 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).

Present day monitoring technologies do not provide such advantages. While a significant amount of research has been done on the theoretical aspects of sensor networks, literature on experiences with actual deployments of sensor networks for different types of environmental monitoring applications is highly limited. This symposium focuses on the use of sensor networking technologies for environmental monitoring. It provides an ideal platform to discuss various aspects of experiences with real-life sensor network deployments and also new and novel techniques designed specifically for gathering data in environmental monitoring applications. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== We seek papers describing original, previously unpublished results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Experiences with real-life deployments of sensor networks, e.g. environmental effects on reliable communication/data collection, etc. - Experiences with power generation techniques, e.g. energy-scavenging. - Hybrid architectures, e.g. integrating wired and wireless sensor networks. - Distributed data management and visualization techniques for streaming sensor data. - Real-life performance of in-network algorithms for reliable data acquisition, e.g. self-calibration, data aggregation, event detection, etc. - Sensor-actor coordination, e.g. data muling. - Commercial applications and market studies, e.g. precision agriculture, coral reefs, lakes, space, etc. PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Please visit http://www.elec.uow.edu.au/issnip2008/ IMPORTANT DATES =============== Conference Dates: December 15-18, 2008 Submission Deadline: September 15, 2008 Notification of acceptance: September 30, 2008 Camera ready manuscript: October 15, 2008 Symposium Chair: ================ Paul Havinga - University of Twente Organizing Committee: ===================== Supriyo Chatterjea, University of Twente, the Netherlands Stuart Kininmonth, Australian Institute of Marine Science, Australia Nirvana Meratnia, University of Twente, the Netherlands Technical Program Committee: ============================ Arie Croitoru - University of Alberta, Canada Stuart Kininmonth - Australian Institute of Marine Science, Australia Bhaskar Krishnamachari - University of Southern California, USA Vipin Kumar - University of Minnesota, USA Yee Wei Law - University of Melbourne, Australia Mihai Marin-Perianu - University of Twente, Netherlands Raluca Marin-Perianu - University of Twente, Netherlands Ian Marshall - Lancaster University, UK Tim Wark - CSIRO, Australia _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] ReArch'08 submission deadline EXTENDED to August 26th
by Joe Touch 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

Hi, all, Please distribute the following CFP. ReArch'08 - Re-Architecting the Internet "Exploring what is broken with the Internet architecture and how to fix it." co-located with ACM CoNEXT'2008 sponsored by ACM Sigcomm http://www.sigcomm.org/co-next2008/rearch.html Madrid, Spain, December 9th, 2008 *Submission deadline EXTENDED : August 26th, 2008* Submission closes midnight, EDT. Please note: if you are still planning to submit, please register your title and abstract **as soon as possible**. Motivation The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, operational and management requirements, business models, security mechanisms and scalability enablers give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regard to the original design principles. While these mechanisms are necessary for Internet operation under current economical, technical and social conditions, their combination has significantly reduced the potential for incremental evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. This workshop will discuss what the real underlying problems are with the Internet and how we might fix them so that the Internet architecture re-gains its simplicity and transparency and is fit for another 30+ years, so that the architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet can be regained and retained for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze, and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'08 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, how the following impact on that architecture: New networking paradigms New business models New routing architectures New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms Measurements and analysis that characterize the real architectural limitations New architecture proposals and their implications for research New protocols that address the limitations Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture Principles of evolving future architectures Requirements for interworking with the existing Internet, and for deployability. Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked. Submissions must be original and not already published in any other conference proceedings or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most 6 pages long (including figures, tables, references, etc.) in the standard ACM double column format. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submissions will be done via EDAS. Submission Deadline: 27 August 2008 Notification: 10 October 2008 Workshop Co-Chairs Olivier Bonaventure - UCLouvain Marcelo Bagnulo - UC3M Joe Touch - USC/ISI Technical Program Committee Mark Allman ICSI Jari Arkko Ericsson Bob Briscoe BT Group Ken Calvert University of Kentucky Brian Carpenter University of Auckland Maoke Chen Tsinghua University Kenjiro Cho IIJ Jon Crowcroft University of Cambridge Philip Eardley BT Group Lars Eggert Nokia Research Center Kevin Fall Intel Research Pierre Francois UCLouvain Robert Hancock Roke Manor Research Mark Handley University College London Christian Huitema Microsoft Daniel Massey Colorado State University Martin May ETH Zurich Pekka Nikander Ericsson Research Nomadiclab Craig Partridge BBN Technologies Peter Steenkiste Carnegie Mellon University Iljitsch van Beijnum IMDEA Metworks Tilman Wolf University of Massachusetts _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP CoMMVE'09 at KiVS 2009 Datum: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:51:46 +0200 Von: Gregor Schiele <gregor.schiele(a)UNI-MANNHEIM.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 Liebe Mitglieder der KuVS-Liste, anbei der CfP des 'Workshops on Concepts of Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments' (CoMMVE) auf der KiVS 2009. Wir freuen uns auf viele hochkarätige Einreichungen. Viele Grüße Gregor Schiele -- Dr. Gregor Schiele Chair of Information Systems II University of Mannheim, Germany http://becker.bwl.uni-mannheim.de/9.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The 1st International Workshop on Concepts of Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (CoMMVE) at the 16th ITG/GI Kommunikation in verteilten Systemen 2009 March 5th or 6th, 2009 Kassel, Germany http://www.peers-at-play.org/CoMMVE09/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Massively multiuser virtual environments (MMVEs) allow a large number of users all over the world to experience a shared virtual 3D world and to interact in it with each others. While commercial MMVEs like World of Warcraft, Second Life, or Sony Home already exist, there are still a large number of open issues and important research questions that must be addressed in order to realize truly massive environments, both in terms of the size of the environment as well as the number of its concurrent users. The ultimate goal of this development is a worldwide system that spans whole virtual planets with many millions of users. To achieve this, systems must be developed that are - at the same time - extremely scalable, highly interactive, secure and reliable. They must support a consistent view of the environment for all users. Updates to the environment, both its infrastructure as well as its content, must be applied at runtime. The operation and further development of systems must be cost-effective and profitable, thus stimulating investment in them. Existing MMVEs are based on mostly static, fixed infrastructures, in which predefined server clusters are preassigned to different functions for operating the MMVE. Such systems are currently able to support thousands of concurrent users. This requires the system's operator to provide all necessary resources, like compute power, memory and network bandwidth. To become truly massive, future systems must be made much more flexible and must build on self-organising, adaptive systems. One promising approach is the use of peer-to-peer architectures, because a substatial amount of the necessary hardware resources are contributed by the users themselves. Thus the amount of resources in the system grows with the number of users. While peer-to-peer technology is already being used sucessfully today in many applications, e.g. for Internet telephony and the distribution of software updates, its applicability in highly interactive and distributed virtual 3D environments is still challenging and comprises numerous research and engineering challenges. The goal of this workshop is to gather researchers and practitioners in the area of MMVEs under one roof to discuss their findings, identify future research areas, incite collaborations, and move the state of the art forward. Topics ------ The workshop addresses the following topics related to building, operating, and using MMVEs: 1. Basic networking support, e.g. peer to peer networking for MMVEs, 2. MMVE hosting and software as a service (SAAS), 3. Bandwidth restricted (mobile) end user devices, 4. Self-organization and adaptation, 5. Placement and relocation strategies, 6. Scalability, 7. Interactivity, 8. Consistency, 9. Reliability and persistency, 10. Security and privacy, 11. Interoperability and integration of virtual environments, 12. User generated content, 13. Updating and content streaming, e.g. 3D streaming, 14. Evaluations and case studies of existing systems, 15. Development support and middleware platforms. Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Paper submissions must cover one of the topics listed above, or a closely-related one. We will prioritize experience papers describing lessons learnt from built systems, including information about approaches that did and did not work, unexpected results, common abstractions, and metrics for evaluating distributed virtual environment distribution approaches. One of the key issues to debate is the underlying structure of distributed virtual environment systems, which includes different possible configurations such as peer-to-peer, central-server-based, and hybrid models. Submitted papers should be about 10-12 pages long, use the ECEASST format and must be blinded (see the workshop web page for more info). Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All submissions will be peer-reviewed (double blind) and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented at the workshop and will be published in the Open-Access Journal "Electronic Communications of the EASST" (ECEASST) (http://eceasst.cs.tu-berlin.de/index.php/eceasst). If you have any questions, please email us at commve(a)peers-at-play.org.

One key area of innovation has been around tangible computing, which pushes the user interface beyond the digital into the physical world. This includes work on tangible interfaces, graspable interfaces, physical computing, and interactive surfaces. A closely related topic is that of embedded interaction where the everyday objects and environments we interact with are computationally augmented in new ways. Designing such systems requires interdisciplinary thinking. Their creation must not only encompass software, electronics, and mechanics, but also the system's physical form and behaviour, as well as its social impacts. After the big success of TEI'07 and TEI'08 we are pleased to announce the third international conference dedicated to presenting the latest results in tangible and embedded interaction. We invite submissions of work addressing HCI issues, design, user experience, tools and technologies, as well as interactive art in the broad area of tangible computing and embedded interactive systems. The intimate size of this single-track conference provides a unique forum for exchange of ideas through talks, interactive exhibits, demos, posters, art installations and performances. All accepted submissions will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be published through the ACM Digital Library. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS FOR SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit high-quality original work to advance the field. Appropriate topics include but are not limited to: * Examples of novel tangible interfaces or embedded interactive systems * Case studies and evaluations of working deployments * Relation of tangible and embedded interaction to other paradigms * Programming paradigms and tools, toolkits, software architectures * Novel enabling technologies * Interactive uses of sensors and actuators, and electronics and mechatronics * Design guidelines and methods * Applied design in the form of concept sketches, prototypes and products * Novel applications * Theoretical foundations, frameworks, and concepts * Philosophical, ethical and social implications * Usability * Provocative design work and interactive art ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION DETAILS Authors are invited to submit papers that are 2, 4, 6 or 8 pages long, formatted to follow the two column ACM SIGCHI format. We are happy to consider a variety of styles for inclusion in the proceedings, such as academic papers, design sketches and descriptions of art pieces or installations. All accepted submissions will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be published through the ACM Digital Library. At the time of submission, authors will be able to specify their preferred format for presenting the work, which includes: * 15 minute talk * 5 minute talk * Poster * Interactive demo * Exhibit * Installation We anticipate a large volume of submissions this year, but the timeslots available for talks (and space available for demos and exhibits) will be limited by necessity. In order to be help the program committee to include as much interesting work as possible, authors will also be able to specify whether they would be happy to present their work in a format other than their preferred format. Submissions will be peer reviewed in a double-blind process: please anonymize your submission. In case of acceptance, at least one author must register before the early registration deadline for the conference in order for the final paper version to be published in the conference proceedings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ORGANIZING COMITTEE CONFERENCE CHAIRS Nicolas Villar Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK Shahram Izadi Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK PROGRAM CHAIRS Mike Fraser University of Bristol, UK Steve Benford University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICITY CHAIRS Jamie Zigelbaum MIT Media Lab, USA Florian Block Lancaster University, UK Nicolai Marquardt University of Calgary, Canada Takashi Matsumoto Pileus LLC, Japan PUBLICATION CHAIRS Dagmar Kern University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Alireza Sahami University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany SPONSORSHIP CHAIR Sriram Subramanian University of Bristol, UK STEERING COMMITTEE Eva Hornecker Open University, UK Caroline Hummels Eindhoven University of Technology, NL Robert Jacob Tufts University, USA Brygg Ullmer Louisiana State University, USA Albrecht Schmidt University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany DESIGN Bart Hengenveld Eindhoven University of Technology, NL WEBMASTER Nicolai Marquardt University of Calgary, Canada PROGRAM COMMITTEE Please check the conference website for updates **************************************************** ** To send and receive IFIP-EC-NEWS, go to ** http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec ** and subscribe directly **************************************************** ** News archives: ** http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/private/icec/ **************************************************** ** To join the IFIP ENTERTAINMENT COMPUTING Group ** contact: g.w.m.rauterberg(a)tue.nl ****************************************************
