M4D 2008 focuses specifically on mobile technologies within the broader field of study that has now become known as ICT4D ("ICT for Development"). We strive to have an event where all types of actors are included. There will be a research stream with a traditional conference design and a practitioners stream where industry, NGOs, and public bodies can disseminate their knowledge. For each of these two major focuses there will be an internationally renowned keynote speaker. We welcome presentations within all "m" areas: m-government, m-health, m-banking, m-policy, etc., as well as social and cultural aspects of M4D. While the "m" in this context often implies low tech it is also noteworthy that wireless connections have promises for the development of broadband networks: there will be a special workshop on wireless broadband networks for developing regions including mesh networks. Submission of papers and poster abstracts will open in late August and close at the end of October. We will review proposals continuously to be able to provide early feedback to people who need Letters of Invitation for visas to get to Sweden; see further under "Participation" at http://m4d.humanit.org !

[Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (submission deadline extended)
by Ling-Jyh Chen 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Apologies if you have received multiple copies ================================================================== Call for Papers The First IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-08) http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON08/ to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 2008 Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference (IEEE APSCC 2008), December 9-12, 2008, Yilan, Taiwan. ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to- vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website: http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON08/ISAS/ The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is five (5) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Tridentcom 2009 CFP Datum: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:28:00 +0800 Von: Brad <brad(a)wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ===================================================================== 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 www.tridentcom.org/cfp.htm 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 due (to be received by): October 1, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: January 15, 2009 The conference proceedings will be published as Springer LNICST electronically as well as in hard copy. The proceedings will be accessible via LNICST's dedicated website, which is coming soon. Authors are invited to submit Full Papers of up to 10 pages and Testbed Practices Papers of up to 6 pages, including references, figures and tables, formatted according to the LNICST format.

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ***************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS BIONETICS 2008 3rd International Conference on Bio inspired Models of Network, Information and Computing Systems http://www.bionetics.org/ Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center Awaji Island, Hyogo, Japan, Nov 25-28, 2008 *** Technically co-sponsored by IEEE COMSOC, IEEE CIS, and IEEE SMC (planned) *** In co-operation with ACM SIGSIM and SIGCAS Jointly sponsored by CREATE-NET, ICST *** Extended submission deadline: July 15, 2008 *** ***************************************************************** Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet scale down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. The fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems, capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical solutions which have similar high stability and efficiency as biological entities often have. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the following areas including but not limited to the these topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools: - Mathematical models of biological processes - Cellular signaling pathways - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties - Nano-scale and molecular communication b) Bio-inspired algorithms and mechanisms - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Self-organizing network paradigms - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms c) Bio-inspired technical systems: - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies - Self-learning defense strategies d) Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT): - Network algorithms and protocols - Autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols - Adaptive and self-healing network architectures - In-network processing and autonomic networking - Adaptive sensor and actor networks - Topology control and network organization - Localization and synchronization - Mobility models - Multi-agent systems and robotics - Novel applications and services - Network and information security - Experimental studies Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages or short papers of up to 4 pages in ACM conference proceedings format.

[ISCC] Personalized Networks (PerNets) cfp, within IEEE CCNC
by Paolo Bellavista 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call for papers ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================ Third International Workshop on Personalized Networks http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/ to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2009) - http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2009/ January 13, 2008 - Harrah's Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library ============================================================ Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Four broader areas under which the presentations are classified: * Architectures and systems * End-to-end networking * Security and privacy * Operations, administration, management, and provisioning Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * The architectural framework of personalized networks * Context awareness and support * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and accounting * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program will consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

[Tccc] [CFP] AASN'2008: Call for Paper
by Youssef IRAQI 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Autonomous and Automated Sensor Networks, AASN http://sigappfr.acm.org/cstst08/workshops/aasn/ To be held in conjunction with The 5th IEEE International Conference on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSTST’2008), Cergy-Pontoise/Paris, FRANCE, October 26-30, 2008. Summary and Topics: Thanks to technological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an increasing attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many applications, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and scientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating works in addressing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols, architecture, operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent needs to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous requirements are highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing and manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These techniques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundreds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is still facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spatially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in performing the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network and guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especially that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hostile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible. Since predefined and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networked sensing devices, automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in addressing upcoming developments that target multi-services, collaborating, or competing sensor networks. To reach these goals, the first International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is seeking novel ideas in the following topics that include, but not limited to: - Heterogeneous sensor networks - Multi-service sensor networks - Sensor network control - Automated sensing activities - Competing sensors or sensor networks - Collaborating sensors and sensor networks - Semantic-based management of sensor networks - Resource management in sensor networks - Context awareness in sensor networks - Self-organization and self-adaptation in sensor networks - New architectures and protocols for sensor networks - New sensor network applications - Sensor network maintenance - Intelligent sensors and sensor networks - Data management in sensor networks - Data and resource sharing in sensor networks Important Dates: Submission deadline: August 17th 2008 Acceptance notification: September 07th 2008 Camera ready papers: September 17th 2008 Submission Guidelines: (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cstst08) This Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF or MS Word files and should be uploaded using the conference website. Full paper submissions should be in ACM format with a limit of 6 pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 independent reviewers of the PC. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics. At least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be indexed by ACM Digital Libraries and published with an ISBN.

[Mycolleagues] CFP: JISE Special Issue on V-Winets and V-ITSs
by Chih-Yung Chang 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

****************************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ****************************************************************************** Call For Papers Journal of Information Science and Engineering (indexed by SCIE) Special Issue on Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems Aim and Scope: -------------- With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the Vehicular Wireless Networks (V-Winet) and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems (V-ITS) have recently received much attention. V-Winets and V-ITS aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption with many potential applications. For instance, vehicular safety applications include automatic collision notification, heavy fog detection and notification, remote diagnostics, emergency management, and other assistances for safe driving. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion notification, location-based driver information services, high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile high speed Internet access, in-place traffic view, and many others. To facilitate these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications for V-Winet and V-ITS to provide timely information or Internet access to vehicles, drivers, and passengers. Consequently, V-Winet and V-ITS need to integrate existing networking technologies, such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11p, DSRC, 3G, IEEE 802.16, Bluetooth, Sensor networks, and ZigBee for easy, accurate, effective and simple communications among vehicles, users, and infrastructure networks. This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality, original, unpublished research covering all aspects of V-Winet and V-ITS communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the followings: - Network Architecture of V-Winet/V-ITS - V-Winet/V-ITS Services and Applications - Cooperative Aspects of V-Winet/V-ITS - Availability and Scalability Issues in V-Winet/V-ITS - Mobility, Traffic Models and Network Management for V-Winet/V-ITS - Cross-layer Optimization Techniques for V-Winet/V-ITS - Modulation, Coding, and Channel Modeling for V-Winet/V-ITS - Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Roadside Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication Protocols - Simulation Framework and Real-World Testbeds for V-Winet/V-ITS - Driving Safety and Related Applications and Services - Green Technologies and V-Winet/V-ITS Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, previously unpublished work.

At present, more people interact through media and less in a face-to-face manner. Another trend is that people lead less active lifestyles. At the same time, new technologies provide novel entertainment and interaction opportunities. We aim to combine these trends and explore the opportunities that technology-driven physical play offers for enhancing and stimulating real social interaction (as opposed to virtual interaction through a computer). This can be beneficial for diverse reasons: For children to counter the trend of playing computer games and watching television on their own, for elderly to socialize more when making new contacts becomes more difficult and for autistic children because they particularly like technological toys. The main goal of the workshop is to share information and experiences among researchers in the area of social interaction through physical play. We invite position papers addressing social and physical issues including (but not restricted to) the following fields: - Social robotics - Design for diverse user groups, such as children and elderly - Social games - Creative toolkits - Exertion interfaces - Pervasive and head-up games - Embodied facilitation - Spatial and tangible interaction Paper contributions should be submitted by email to one of the organizers. Papers should be 4-6 pages in PDF format LNCS style. Contributions will be reviewed by an international program committee. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop notes (with ISBN number), distributed at the workshop, and published on the workshop's web site. The organizing committee intends to organize a special issue in an international journal. Workshop participants are required to also register for the main conference.

[Tccc] Deadline extended: Internet Network Management Workshop (INM) 2008
by T. S. Eugene Ng 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Internet Network Management Workshop (INM) 2008 Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Co-located with ICNP 2008 Orlando, Florida October 19, 2008 http://www.cs.rice.edu/~eugeneng/inm08 ======================================================================= New extended deadlines: Paper registration: 5:00pm EDT, July 7, 2008 Paper submission: 5:00pm EDT, July 14, 2008 Notification of acceptance: August 6, 2008 Camera ready submission: September 5, 2008 In many ways, computer network management remains the least understood aspect of computer networking. 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 Program Chairs: Timothy G. Griffin (University of Cambridge) T. S. Eugene Ng (Rice University) Steering Committee: Albert Greenberg (Microsoft Research) Chuck Kalmanek (AT&T Labs) David Maltz (Microsoft Research) Richard Mortier (Vipadia) Geoffrey Xie (Naval Postgraduate School) Hui Zhang (Carnegie Mellon University) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email ----------------------------------------------------- AlPACa 2008 Workshop on Applications of Private and Anonymous Communications (in conjunction with Securecomm 2008) September 22, 2008, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.alpaca-workshop.org/ ----------------------------------------------------- During the last few decades we have seen a tremendous number of activities (and publications) regarding anonymous communication systems, how to make them better, various attacks, defenses etc. Even though the implicit assumption of any anonymity work is to have it applied in a real world, few of those activities focus on actual practical systems, and the questions remain if we are doing research on the right thing? how far we are from dealing with the real issues? and are the goals that we try to achieve with these systems those that we are optimizing for? This workshop solicits papers concerned with what happens on top of and around the anonymizing layer, with a view of how this affects the anonymity system. That is in some ways the user's, operator's, ISP's, etc. view of and experience with anonymity systems and how anonymity systems need to be improved. Topics of interest are (but not limited to): * Use cases for anonymous communication systems * Practical experiences with anonymous communication systems * Case studies * Novel applications of anonymous communication systems * Economic incentives / business models for using or deploying anonymous communication systems * Performance and evaluation tools of real systems * Usability * Feedback from real users * Legal issues with running anonymous communication Important dates: ---------------- * Submission deadline: (extended to) 6 July 2008 * Notification date: 24 July 2008 * Camera ready submission deadline: 10 August 2008 * Workshop: 22 September 2008 Submission instructions: ------------------------ Only PDF formats are accepted for all submissions. Paper submissions must not exceed 8 pages in IEEE conference style, two-column format, including the bibliography and appendices. The Authors' kit can be found on the workshop webpage. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper. Submitted papers must not be currently under review for any other publication.

[Tccc] [CFP] IEEE ICPADS workshop P2PNVE'08 2 weeks left
by publication acnlab 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Call 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/ 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 5, 2008 Notification: August 15, 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.
