While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations.

SWiN 2008 is the First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks, held in conjunction with IEEE WiMob 2008. Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this message. Best regards, Thomas Watteyne. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SWiN 2008 First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks 12 October, 2008, Avignon, France http://ieee.org/go/swin2008/ in conjunction with IEEE WiMob 2008 Full Papers due: June 29, 2008 (extended) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS (pdf version: http://ewh.ieee.org/conf/swin/2008/cfp_swin08.pdf) The First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks (SWiN 2008) will be held in conjunction with the fourth IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2008) in Avignon, France, on October 12th, 2008. The main focus of this workshop is on simulation of wireless multi-hop networks. The SWiN workshop is devoted to the topic of wireless multi-hop network simulators. An efficient and accurate simulation of these networks raises various issues which generally need to be addressed from several research domains simultaneously. As examples, we can consider the wireless physical layer modeling and simulation, the support of large scale networks, the simulation of complex R/F systems such as MIMO ones, the emulation of wireless nodes, etc. In particular but not exclusively, the Program Committee will be seeking high quality papers on the following aspects of wireless network simulation: - Radio medium modeling & simulation; - Scalability, large scale networks support; - Validation of simulators and simulation results; - Simulators benchmarking and comparisons; - Support of advanced R/F systems (MIMO, smart-antenna); - Support of distributed physical layer schemes (distributed signal processing, cooperative schemes); - Wireless node simulation or emulation; - Interoperability of simulators, emulators and experiments; - Distributed simulation; - Implementation of simulators. This workshop will be an opportunity to present the current works in these domains as well as to foster discussion and cooperation among researchers coming from the fields of simulation, radio medium modeling, ad hoc networking and wireless sensor networking. It will also be the occasion for people directly involved in the development and implementation of simulators to meet and confront their work with the models, applications and requests coming from the research communities that effectively use the simulators. In addition to contributed talks, the workshop program will include two tutorials on wireless physical layer modeling and wireless network simulators. SWiN 2008 will be held in Avignon, in the "Provence" part of Southern France. Avignon is known for its "Palais des Papes" (Palace of the Popes), where the Popes lived for much of the 14th century. With Avignon being one of the most charming places on earth, we expect this to be a truly special workshop. --------------- Important Dates --------------- - Paper submission due: June 29, 2008 (extended) - Paper acceptance notification: July 16, 2008 - Final manuscript due: August 14, 2008 - Registration and full payment due: August 20, 2008 ----------------------- Submission Instructions & Reviewing Policy ----------------------- All papers will be included in the main conference proceedings and published by the IEEE.

CfP: IWSOS 2008 - 3rd Int. Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems
by Harald Meyer 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of the cfp. ************************ 3rd CALL FOR PAPERS ************************ IWSOS 2008 3rd International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems - Self-Organizing Networks and Networked Systems - December 10-12, 2008 Vienna, Austria http://iwsos.ani.univie.ac.at/ submission deadline (full papers): June 22, 2008 !!! NEWS: Online submission system is open !!! !!! Increased max. full paper size: 12 pages !!! ********************************************************************* Workshop Scope -------------- IWSOS 2008 is the third workshop in a series of annual workshops dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems. The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future networked systems, like the future Internet. For example, these networks will consist of interconnected infrastructure-based, mobile ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user requirements, such as resilience and real-time guarantees. Although self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited. Research into networked systems has recently started to systematically investigate self-organization, which has lead to a multitude of open research issues. The applicability of well-known self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked systems has to be investigated, as well as adaptations and novel approaches inspired by, e.g., cooperation in nature and evolutionary dynamics, sociology, and game theory. Additionally, models originating from areas like feedback control and complex system's research, are required for these networked systems in order to analyze their controllability and emergent behavior. Aspects of engineering self-organizing networked systems should be studied that discuss paradigms like programmable networks, and tools and frameworks for deploying, testing, and monitoring self-organizing networks. The role of self-organization in the future Internet and the impact on its architecture is an important topic, as well as the application of self-organization in future intelligent transportation systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks.

[Tccc] CFP - Communications Magazine - Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications
by Chin, Woon Hau 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Call for Papers Submission Deadline - 15 June 2008 IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications In wireless networks, relays have been traditionally used to extend the range of communication systems. However, in recent years, other applications of relay communications have emerged. One such emerging application is to assist in the communication between the source and destination via some cooperation protocol. By controlling medium access between source and relays coupled with the appropriate modulation or coding in such cooperative schemes, it has been found that the diversity of the system can be improved. In multi-user systems, different users can also act as cooperative partners or relays to share resources and assist each other in information transmission, thereby creating a cooperative network. One other emerging application is the exchange of information between multiple users through relay(s). In such cases, by exploiting the knowledge of one's own transmitted signal, the throughput of these systems can be drastically increased. For cooperative and relay communications, the MAC layer also has many unique features. The MAC in this case, is concerned with more than one hop communication, is distributed and cooperative and works for multipoint-to-multipoint communication. The MAC also needs to have knowledge about network topology and account for node mobility. Accordingly, a new design of the MAC layer has to be devised to include new functionalities as well as MAC layer routing. With the large benefits to be reaped from employing cooperative and relay techniques, several standardization groups, such as IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.11, have started standardization processes to include such technologies into their prevailing standards. These efforts will no doubt attract even more interests from the academia and industry, advancing cooperative and relay technologies even further in the coming years. With interests from both the research and industrial communities gaining momentum, there is an urgent need to better understand as well as to keep track of cutting edge research in cooperative and relay communications. We plan this special issue to help address that need, as well as to help researchers looking to jump on the bandwagon. Therefore, the special issue will focus on recent advances as well as survey papers in cooperative and relay communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following topics: . Cooperative algorithms and protocols . Partner(s) selection in cooperative relay and routing . Cooperative resource allocation and management . Relay strategies for cooperative communications . Cooperative and relay technologies applied to WLAN, WMAN and cellular networks . Multidirectional relaying . Distributed coding and modulation . Multiple antenna systems and protocols for cooperative communications . Information theoretic aspects of cooperative communications . MAC issues and MAC layer routing . Cross-layer approaches for joint PHY and MAC optimization Schedule: Full manuscript due: June 15, 2008 Acceptance notification: October 1, 2008 Final manuscript due: December 1, 2008 Publication date: February 2009 Submission: Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

There is a lack of well-established principles for guiding the design of networks for manageability. There is also a lack of scientific theories for analyzing the state of a network and for the evolution of network state. The Internet Network Management (INM) workshop provides an opportunity to elevate participants' collective experience with IP networks into ideas, principles, and theories that can be leveraged in today's networks, or can be carried forward into the clean-slate design of future networks that intrinsically support management, rather than treating management as a bolted-on afterthought. The INM workshop seeks original and thought provoking ideas, case studies, experimental results, position papers, and clean-slate designs. Submissions concerning special-purpose networks, such as VoIP, content distribution, or mobile wireless networks are welcome. The workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of experience and work-in-progress discussions. Topics of Interest: * new abstractions for network configuration management * new control plane architectures * data plane mechanisms to support management * autonomous network management systems with predictive/proactive behaviors * ensuring stability and coherent behavior in distributed and/or autonomous systems * management of backbone, access, enterprise and home networks and network-based applications * techniques and experiments for evaluating network management architectures * experimental platforms that support network management research * comparisons between IP network management and ATM, SONET, or telephony management * defining and enforcing network borders * automatic and adaptive control of networks * cross-layer interactions, including IP/optical or applications/IP * hitless planned maintenance * fault and performance management Sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society IEEE Communications Society ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues

Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this message. You are welcome to forward this CFP to your friends and colleagues working in the field. Kind regards, Thomas Watteyne. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SWiN 2008 First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks 12 October, 2008, Avignon, France http://ieee.org/go/swin2008/ in conjunction with IEEE WiMob 2008 **Full Papers due: June 14, 2008** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS (pdf version: http://ewh.ieee.org/conf/swin/2008/cfp_swin08.pdf) The First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks (SWiN 2008) will be held in conjunction with the fourth IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2008) in Avignon, France, on October 12th, 2008. The main focus of this workshop is on simulation of wireless multi-hop networks. The SWiN workshop is devoted to the topic of wireless multi-hop network simulators. An efficient and accurate simulation of these networks raises various issues which generally need to be addressed from several research domains simultaneously. As examples, we can consider the wireless physical layer modeling and simulation, the support of large scale networks, the simulation of complex R/F systems such as MIMO ones, the emulation of wireless nodes, etc. In particular but not exclusively, the Program Committee will be seeking high quality papers on the following aspects of wireless network simulation: - Radio medium modeling & simulation; - Scalability, large scale networks support; - Validation of simulators and simulation results; - Simulators benchmarking and comparisons; - Support of advanced R/F systems (MIMO, smart-antenna); - Support of distributed physical layer schemes (distributed signal processing, cooperative schemes); - Wireless node simulation or emulation; - Interoperability of simulators, emulators and experiments; - Distributed simulation; - Implementation of simulators. This workshop will be an opportunity to present the current works in these domains as well as to foster discussion and cooperation among researchers coming from the fields of simulation, radio medium modeling, ad hoc networking and wireless sensor networking. It will also be the occasion for people directly involved in the development and implementation of simulators to meet and confront their work with the models, applications and requests coming from the research communities that effectively use the simulators. In addition to contributed talks, the workshop program will include two tutorials on wireless physical layer modeling and wireless network simulators. SWiN 2008 will be held in Avignon, in the "Provence" part of Southern France. Avignon is known for its "Palais des Papes" (Palace of the Popes), where the Popes lived for much of the 14th century. With Avignon being one of the most charming places on earth, we expect this to be a truly special workshop. --------------- Important Dates --------------- - Paper submission due: June 14, 2008 - Paper acceptance notification: July 16, 2008 - Final manuscript due: August 14, 2008 - Registration and full payment due: August 20, 2008 ----------------------- Submission Instructions & Reviewing Policy ----------------------- All papers will be included in the main conference proceedings and published by the IEEE.

CfP PIK Themenheft Energiebewusste Systeme
by Falko Dressler 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

CALL FOR PAPERS Themenheft "Energiebewusste Systeme" Praxis der Informationsverarbeitung und Kommunikation (PIK) Fachzeitschrift für den Einsatz von Informationssystemen Energie ist eine kritische, manchmal sogar die kritischste Ressource bei vielen modernen Rechensystemen und deren Anwendungen vom Sensornetz, über das Mobiltelefon bis hin zu Laptops und Servern. Somit stellt dieses Arbeitsgebiet einen wichtigen Bereich der aktuellen Forschung im Bereich Systemsoftware (Betriebs- und Kommunikationssysteme) dar. Insbesondere entstehen, getrieben durch immer kleinere und mobilere Endgeräte, neue Anwendungsszenarien mit hohen Anforderungen an Verfügbarkeit, Langlebigkeit, Adaptivität und Selbstorganisation. Im Rahmen des GI/ITG KuVS Fachgesprächs "Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden" wurde eine Reihe von Forschungsgebieten erarbeitet, die einen wesentlichen methodischen Beitrag zu neuartigen energiebewussten Systemen leisten können. Betriebssysteme: Einzig das Betriebssystem kennt alle strukturellen Eigenschaften der darunter liegenden Hardware wie auch der laufenden Anwendungen. Somit kann es dabei die Hardwarekomponenten in den jeweils für das Gesamtsystem optimalen Betriebsmodus versetzen und die Verweildauer in den jeweiligen Betriebsmodi durch eine energiebewusste Aktivitätensteuerung beeinflussen. Drahtlose Netze: Funkübertragung ist im Vergleich zu Berechnungen oft wesentlich teurer in Bezug auf die benötigt Energie. Durch optimierte Technologien für die zuverlässige Übertragung, Vorverarbeitung und Zwischenspeicherung kann die Sende- und Empfangszeit verringert werden. Neue Kommunikationsparadigmen helfen den Aufwand für die Statusverwaltung zu minimieren. Kommunikationsprotokolle: Aufbauend auf den spezifischen Eigenschaften und Funktionen der verfügbaren Übertragungstechniken, lassen sich Kommunikationsprotokolle für energiebewusstes Arbeiten anpassen. Sogenanntes Cross-Layer-Design hilft, Verzerrungs- und Störeffekte zwischen den Protokollen der Sicherungs-, Netzwerk- und Transportschicht zu vermeiden bzw. zu minimieren. Middleware: Mit der zunehmenden Vernetzung mobiler und eingebetteter Systeme ist das energiebewusste Arbeiten von Basisfunktionalität sogenannter Middleware-Dienste, wie Kommunikation und Vermittlung, unabdingbar. Insbesondere kann auf dieser Schicht nicht isoliert gearbeitet werden. Unter dem thematischen Schwerpunkt energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden sind Beiträge zu allen relevanten Themengebieten erwünscht. Dazu gehören unter anderem aber nicht ausschließlich: - Betriebssystemunterstützung - Kommunikationsmethoden - Protokollentwurf - Simulationstechniken - Schichtenübergreifender Entwurf - Beobachtung des Laufzeitverhaltens realer Systeme Eingereichte Manuskripte sollten ca. 6 gedruckten Seiten entsprechen (eine Seite in der PIK entspricht ca. 6000 Zeichen ohne Abbildungen). Sowohl Deutsche als auch Englische Beiträge sind erwünscht. Alle eingereichten Manuskripte werden von unabhängigen Gutachtern bewertet. Einreichung der Manuskripte bitte per Email an einen der Herausgeber des Themenheftes. - Frist für die Einreichung: 1.11.2008 - Benachrichtigung: 1.1.2009 - Einreichung der druckfertigen Version: 1.2.2009 Herausgeber des Themenheftes: - Falko Dressler, Universität Erlangen (dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de) - Frank Bellosa, TH Karlsruhe (bellosa(a)ira.uka.de) -- Dr.-Ing.

[Tccc] Autonomics 2008: Deadline extended!
by Antonio Di Ferdinando 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Deadline for autonomics 2008 extended, please see below. ***** AUTONOMICS 2008 ***** 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics.eu/ September 23-25, 2008, Turin, Italy In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The Autonomics conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics 2008 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. _________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: June 8, 2008 Notification of acceptance: July 10, 2008 Final version due: August 15, 2008 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through Easychair <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=autonomics2008>. The proceedings will be an ICST publication and the papers will be listed in the ACM digital library and indexed by EI. _________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: A.
