While technology alone cannot be a panacea for the diverse and myriad challenges in these regions, there is increasing evidence that communications technologies and access to information, far from being a luxury, can have direct and vital benefits to the economic and social well-being of the population in these regions. In particular, studies indicate that access to communication and information can contribute to specific measures such as increased GDP and living standards. Moreover, anecdotal evidence as well as pilot projects indicates that such access can lead to specific benefits, such as new economic opportunities and better medical information and intervention. This workshop focuses on the technology required to provide communications and information access to rural regions in the developing world, and in particular technical aspects of wireless networking, systems and communication. This target environment poses unique system-wide challenges that require the development of new research approaches and innovative designs and techniques. These challenges include infrastructure issues, such as power and connectivity limitations, as well as particular user needs, including cost, literacy and language issues. Thus in addition to considering the specifics of networking protocols and architectures, the aim of the workshop is to consider the entire system by which networking and communication is provided, all the key technical stakeholders, and the overall system lifecycle from economic modeling to deployment. AUDIENCE: The workshop aims to bring together a diverse group of technical researchers, including: - network planners and economists, - user experience researchers, - network architecture and protocol specialists, - networked application and middleware developers. We believe it is this comprehensive approach that will lead to breakthroughs in understanding the key challenges and research required to build practical, deployable, innovative systems. TOPICS: We solicit original, unpublished, technical papers in the relevant areas of interest including, but not limited to: - Economics of rural access networks, including case studies, tools and models - Rural network planning and spectrum management protocols and techniques - User experience research, including impact of language and literacy barriers on networked applications - Shared access devices and infrastructure, including personalization and privacy concerns - Delay tolerant networking - Low-power and intermittent-power protocols - Energy-efficient and intermittent-energy devices, networks and systems - Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications - Middleware and mechanisms for minimizing energy, latency and storage - Networked applications and services - Testing, deployment and evolution: techniques and in-depth case studies SUBMISSIONS: All papers will be peer-reviewed by a multidisciplinary program committee of technical experts.

[Tccc] Call for Papers - Tridentcom 2009 - Washington DC, March/April 2009
by Varma, Vijay K 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement: Tridentcom 2009: The 5th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks & Communities March/April, Washington D.C., USA @ http://www.tridentcom.org <http://www.tridentcom.org/> Please see http://www.tridentcom.org/Tridentcom%202009%20CFP-V1.pdf for a one page "Call for Papers" Call for Papers Important Dates: Papers due: October 1, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: February 15, 2009 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 both academia and industry 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 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 IEEE 8.5" x 11" proceedings format. Proposals for workshops are also welcome. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] ACM SIGCOMM 2008 -- Call for Posters and Demos
by Yin Zhang 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

[We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ACM SIGCOMM 2008 -- Call for Posters and Demos ============================================== 1. Call For Posters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This year we will be repeating the very popular poster session aimed at showcasing work in progress. This is an opportunity to present and discuss current work in an informal setting during the SIGCOMM 2008 conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference CFP. Although anyone can submit a poster, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Posters will be reviewed by members of the SIGCOMM Poster Session Committee. At the conference, student posters must be presented by a student. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2008 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. Why Should You Submit a Poster? ------------------------------- This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition a small number of submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newletter, the ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Travel Grants for Student Posters --------------------------------- Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants. What is a Poster? ----------------- We define a poster to be A0 paper size to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively you can use the space as a continuum. You can arrange the space and orient the poster either horizontally or vertically. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. What and Where to Submit ------------------------ You need to submit a two-page abstract (font at least 11pt) describing the work to "sigcomm08-posters at maillists.intel-research.net". The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. Optional: if available, the poster itself can be included in the email if it is small (<1.5M) else it can be made available at a URL in pdf format. The poster may be consulted at the discretion of the reviewers. The abstract should identify the key contribution of the work being presented in the poster. In addition, it should describe the particular problem being addressed, what makes this problem interesting or important, and what your approach is to the problem. We recommend that you use the ACM conference style for preparing your abstract. Include the title, authors, institutional affiliations, status (student, faculty, and so on) of each author and an email address of the contact author. In the final version of the abstract, you should also include a URL that will provide additional information about your work to the attendees. Your abstract should not exceed the page limit; longer submissions will not be considered for review. Your submission will be acknowledged by email within four days after you submit. Please remember that the abstract should be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees in addition to the conference proceedings. Accepted poster authors will have about a month to revise their abstract prior to printing. For the posters, we will provide poster board and glue for mounting the posters. The SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo Committee will select between 15 and 30 of the most interesting and thought-provoking posters. Posters Important Dates (Tentative) ----------------------------------- * Submission Deadline May 2, 2008 * Acceptance Notification May 30, 2008 2. Call for Demos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proposals for research demonstrations and exhibits are strongly solicited. Research demonstrations should be innovative research prototypes that show new research related to the topics included in the SIGCOMM conference CFP. Demos Submission Instructions ----------------------------- Submit a summary of the proposed demo (maximum of 3 pages, including figures if needed) to sigcomm08-demos at maillists.intel-research.net. Your submission will be acknowledged by the SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo chair, Dina Papagiannaki. The summary should include: * Goals of the demo and the basic idea that it supports. * Any related publications or technical reports. * Equipment to be used for the demo. * Space needed. * Setup time required. * Additional facilities needed including power and Internet/wireless access. * Indicate a URL with any extra information, if needed. * Indicate whether the demo is eligible for the student travel grant by identifying the lead student(s) and their affiliations. In addition to student submissions, we also solicit non-student demos and exhibits that will be of interest to the community. All demo proposals will be reviewed by the SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo committee. A number of demos may be invited for publication as extended abstracts at ACM SIGCOMM's newsletter, the ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Demos Important Dates (Tentative) --------------------------------- * Submission Deadline May 2, 2008 * Acceptance Notification May 30, 2008 3.

We apologize for multiple receptions of this CfP. ======================================================================= # # # # # # ###### ## # ##### # # ## # ###### ##### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ####### ##### # # # # ###### # # # ##### # # # # ###### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ## # # # # ###### # # ###### # # # # # ###### # ##### ### ### ##### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##### # # # # ##### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ####### ### ### ##### ACM SIGMOBILE (Pending) HEALTHNET 2008 http://reti.dsi.uniroma1.it/HealthNet08/ The 2nd International Workshop on System and Networking Support for Healthcare and Assisted Living Environments Held in conjunction with ACM SIGMOBILE MobiSys 2008 Breckenridge, Colorado, U.S.A. June 17th 2008 ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS WORKSHOP SCOPE: ================ As the world's population grows older, healthcare and high-tech companies are joining forces. New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the user's needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. THE GOAL of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The focus of this workshop will be understanding and discussing what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. This entails cross-disciplinary approaches where the systems and networking community, traditionally able to provide effective solutions that satisfy application requirements, will need to interact with experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. AREAS of INTEREST include, but are not limited to: * Enabling technologies * Service and device discovery * Security and privacy * Reliability and fault tolerance * User and device localization * Resource management architecture * User data management * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Mobility and connectivity management * Cross-layer system architecture design * Human-centered Computing * Task and behavior analysis * Impact of user interface design on system design and management * Test-beds and simulations environments * Health technologies for developing countries DEMO SESSION: ============= To provide a forum for discussion and interaction and to share experimental experience, HealthNet will also host a demonstration session. Extended abstracts describing demos will be published in the proceedings. Details on submission are available on the web page. IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission deadline: April 21, 2008 (5PM US EDT) Notification of acceptance: May 11, 2008 Camera ready version due: May 15, 2008 Workshop date: June 17, 2008 Demo submission and notification: Late April 2008 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: =============================== All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 6 pages, double-column, with a font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous and reviewing is single-blind. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical content and correctness, relevance to the workshop, as well as presentation of the research. Agreements are currently sought for considering extended versions of selected workshop papers for fast track publication in a special issue of a prominent journal in wireless networking communications.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final CfP: Cyber-Physical Systems Challanges and Applications (CPS-CA'08) Datum: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 16:45:22 +0100 Von: Eduardo Tovar <emt(a)dei.isep.ipp.pt> Antwort an: emt(a)dei.isep.ipp.pt Organisation: ISEP An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> =================================== Apologies if you receive duplicates =================================== Call for Papers (Deadline: April 14, 2008) International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Challenges and Applications (CPS-CA'08) http://www.hurray.isep.ipp.pt/cps-ca08 11-Jun-2008 Santorini Island, Greece in conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS'08) - http://www.dcoss.org OVERVIEW Although the IT transformation in the 20th century appeared revolutionary, a bigger change is probably yet to come. The term Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) has come to describe the research and technological effort that will ultimately efficiently allow interlinking the real world physical objects and cyberspace. Actually, a few other terms have been used to describe similar endeavors. The term "Internet of Things", originally aiming at RFID technologies, is smoothly becoming synonymous for cyber-physical systems. The integration of physical processes and computing is not new. Embedded systems have been in place since a long time to denote systems that combine physical processes with computing. The revolution will come from massively networking embedded computing devices which will allow instrumenting the physical world with pervasive networks of sensor-rich, embedded computation. TOPICS OF INTEREST In the long-term, one can expect networks with millions nodes in operation. Such Large-scale sensor-rich networked systems will generate an enormous amount of data and important challenges need to be addressed. A Cyber-Physical System integrates computing, communication and storage of information with monitoring and control of physical entities, in a timely, reliable, secure, efficient and safe manner. In large-scale systems, these are often contradictory requirements, and numerous technical challenges are posed, including architectures, networks and platforms, OS and middleware, heterogeneous system composition, etc. These technical challenges span a number of CPS applications, including: critical infrastructure monitoring; transportation and automotive networks; power grid management; disaster response; precision agriculture; tele-physical services; structural monitoring; etc. FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP The workshop will feature invited talks, including keynotes, panel discussions and submitted contributions. PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted papers should follow the IEEE conference format and should not exceed 6 pages in length. File formats can be either pdf or postscript. All submissions will be handled electronically via email. Submissions must be sent to the workshop program chair, Prof. Eduardo Tovar (emt(a)dei.isep.ipp.pt), before the submission deadline (April 14, 2008).

This workshop is organized in conjunction with the 4t IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2008). The conference is hosted in Avignon, France on 12-14 Oct 2008. Scope The fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications is expected to integrate a potentially large number of different heterogeneous wireless technologies in what could be considered a huge step forward towards universal wireless access and omnipresent computing through seamless mobility. Even though 4G standard is currently not defined, there are many current outlooks that delineate the vision of the new wireless technologies. Based on the emergent trends of mobile communication, 4G will have larger bandwidth, higher data rates, smoother and quicker handoff and will focus on guaranteeing faultless service and seamless handoff across a multitude of wireless networks. The key concept is integrating the 4G capabilities with all of the existing mobile technologies. Special maneuvers will be necessary amongst different access systems in terms of horizontal (intrasystem) and vertical (inter-system) handoff as well as seamless mobility, Quality of Service (QoS), dependability and security. In this workshop, we solicit high quality papers from leading researchers that present state-of-the-art research in heterogeneous wireless networks dealing with resource management techniques and QoS provisioning. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: # Interworking with 2.5G, 3G, and other wireless networks # QoS provisioning for heterogeneous wireless networks # End-to-End QoS Architectures # Location, Mobility and Handoff Management # Seamless vertical handoff techniques between different wireless networks # Network selection criteria # Resource management/allocation # Bandwidth adaptation # Power control and management # Load, admission, and flow control # Architecture design alternatives for heterogeneous wireless networks # Performance analysis and experimentation of heterogeneous wirelessnetworks # Pricing and billing issues # Security techniques and methods for heterogeneous wireless networks # Heterogeneous wireless networks applications and measurements # Simulation study of heterogeneous wireless networks # Scalability of heterogeneous wireless networks # Implementation and testbed experiments # Standardization activities for heterogeneous wireless networks # Heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks Paper Submission Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

[Mycolleagues] CFP: The First ACM International Workshop on Mobile Entity Localization and , Tracking in GPS-less Environments (MELT 2008)
by Ying Zhang 05 Apr '08

05 Apr '08

CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** The First ACM International Workshop on Mobile Entity Localization and Tracking in GPS-less Environments (MELT 2008) URL: http://www.parc.com/MELT08 San Francisco, California, September 19, 2008, co-located with ACM MobiCom08 *********************************************************************** Location-awareness is a key component for achieving context-awareness. Recent years have witnessed an increasing trend of location-based services and applications. In most cases, however, location information is limited by the accessibility to GPS, which is unavailable for indoor or underground facilities and unreliable in urban environments. Much research has been done, in both the sensor network community and the ubiquitous computing community, to provide techniques for localization and tracking in GPS-less environments. Novel applications based on ad-hoc localization and real-time tracking of mobile entities are growing as a result of these technologies. It is time to bring leaders from both the academic and industry research communities to discuss challenging and open problems, to evaluate pros and cons of various approaches, to bridge the gap between theory and applications, and to envision new research opportunities in MELT. The workshop seeks to provide a forum for the state-of-the-art technologies in mobile localization and tracking and novel applications of location-based services. The one-day workshop will have a combination of invited talks, technical presentations and discussions. Possible topics of interests include, but are not limited to: Technology topics: * Algorithms for Localization and Tracking * Opportunistic Localization (using existing signals in the environment) * Environment Mapping and Map Representations * Dynamic/ad-hoc Mapping of Environments * Cheap and Accurate Sensing for MELT (RF, Ultrasound, IR, UWB, RFID etc.) * Collaborative Localization and Data Fusion * Combined Camera/Sensor Localization and Tracking * Hybrid Location-Determination (e.g., RF+vision) * Secure and Robust Localization Application topics: * Search and Rescue Operations * Asset Tracking/Yard Management * Material/In-process flow control * Inventory Tracking + Location * Vehicular Tracking in Intelligent Transportation Systems * Sports and Entertainment * Indoor Navigators/Activity Recommenders * Automatic/Robotic Warehouses/Factories *********************************************************************** Important Dates Submission deadline: May 16, 2008 Acceptance notification: June 23, 2008 Camera-ready version: July 7, 2008 Workshop date: September 19, 2008 *********************************************************************** Submission Details The workshop seeks papers on preliminary technique results, novel application concepts, software and hardware research toolkits, statements of open challenging problems, mathematical formalization and solutions. Selected papers will be grouped, presented and discussed at the workshop. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 6 pages, in font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5 W 11 inches).

Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * LOCAN 2008 * * * * The 4th International Workshop on Localized Communication * * and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks * * http://ants.dif.um.es/locan2008 * * * * In conjunction with the 5th IEEE International Conference on * * Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems, MASS 2008 * * http://www.cse.psu.edu/IEEEMASS08 * * Atlanta, Georgia, September 29 - October 02 2008 * *********************************************************************** SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. This workshop concentrates on network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting * Geocasting and anycasting * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: April 30, 2008 Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2008 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: July 15, 2008 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

Datum: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 16:25:48 +0200 Von: Thomas Huhn <thomas(a)net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ---------------------------------------------------------- The Third ACM International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation and Characterization (WiNTECH'08) (http://www.net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de/WiNTECH08/) To be held in conjunction with ACM Mobicom 2008 (http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2008/index.html) September 14-19, 2008, San Francisco, CA ---------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS =============== This workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. For more information on topics of interest and other details, please visit the workshop website http://www.net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de/WiNTECH08 WiNCOOL DEMO CONTEST ==================== This year, we are challenging the community to show us their latest, coolest, chair-rocking and mind-blowing innovation in an operational demonstration. Go beyond the theoretical limitations and shed off the numerous assumptions about wireless system and present an operational prototype that has the potential to revolutionize wireless networking. Innovations can be at any layer, from physical to application. However, we particularly encourage innovations that span over multiple layers. The innovations must have wireless networking as its key topic. The demo must be presented live, i.e. a presentation of a demo (powerpoint, video, etc) only is not allowed. Also, we emphasize that the demo contest is not a forum to display commercial products. The demo contest will be judged by a panel from industry and academia based on their technical merit and relevance to the workshop. The winners will take home cash prices (details to follow) and bragging rights to award-winning research demonstrators. The extended abstract of the accepted demonstrations will be published in the workshop proceedings and will be available at the ACM digital library. CALL FOR POSTERS ================ WiNTECH 2008 is seeking proposals for posters describing novel work in wireless network testbeds, measurements and characterizations. The areas of interest are the same as those listed in the technical call for papers. The posters may describe work in progress and offers an excellent opportunity for feedback and discussions on early research.

First International Workshop on REsource Discovery (RED) http://bioinformatics.eas.asu.edu/RED/red2008.html in conjunction with 10th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services (iiWAS2008) A resource corresponds to an information source such as a data repository or database management system (e.g., a query form or a textual search engine), a link between resources (an index or hyperlink), or a service such as an application or tool. Resources are characterized by core information including a name, a description of its input and its output (parameters or format), its address, and various additional properties expressed as metadata. Resource discovery is the process of identifying and locating existing resources that have a particular property. Machine-based resource discovery relies on crawling, clustering, and classifying resources discovered on the Web automatically. Resources are organized with respect to metadata that characterize their content (for data sources), their semantics (in terms of ontological classes and relationships), their characteristics (syntactical properties), their performance (with metrics and benchmarks), their quality (curation, reliability, trust), etc. Resource discovery systems allow the expression of queries to identify and locate resources that implement specific tasks. The International Workshop on Resource Discovery aims at bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners to discuss research issues and experience in developing and deploying concepts, applications, and solutions addressing various issues related to resource discovery. Papers presenting either theoretical or applicative material are expected. Because of the dynamic research and development effort towards supporting resource discovery for the life sciences, we expect to receive many contributions in the scope of this very exciting application domain. However, we encourage the submission of generic solutions or the presentation of application experiences other than related to life sciences. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Service publication standards (UDDI, OWL-S, etc.) - Web services - BioMoby services - Resource semantics - Resource formats and metadata - Resource metadata for efficient execution - Data-centric Web services - Domain ontologies for resources - Metadata models for describing web resources - Automatic extraction of metadata in particular with Web 2.0 tools (wikis, blogs...) - Models for registration of resources - Automatic registration of resources - Resource indexing - Visualization of resource metadata - Query languages for resource discovery - user-friendly interface for resource discovery - Resource mining, discovering services on the Web - Mobile web services - Service discovery protocols - Identification protocols that can distinguish between resources and metadata - Interoperability-driven resource discovery - Discovery for integration, composition, workflow, dataflow - Metadata for resource mapping - Dynamic service composition - Service efficiency prediction - QoS-based service discovery - Resource relevance measures - Semantics-driven resource discovery - Discovery on the private (or invisible) web Workshop information -------------------- The workshop will take place in Linz, Austria from 24-26 November 2008. Please visit the conference website for more information: http://www.iiwas.org/conferences/iiwas2008/ .

In immer größerem Maße wurden hardwarebasierte Mechanismen durch Softwaresysteme ersetzt. Durch die zunehmende Verschmelzung von Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen für Sprach- und Datendienste sowie durch die Bereitstellung neuer Dienste entstehen hochkomplexe Systeme, welche schwierig zu beherrschen sind. In gleicher Weise nimmt die Komplexität innerhalb der Netzwerkinfrastrukturen für mobile Telekommunikationsnetze zu. Nutzer erwarten roaming zwischen verschiedenen Netztechnologien, garantierte Qualitätsparameter, und ubiquitäre Verfügbarkeit von verschiedensten Services und neue Anwendungen. Diese Entwicklungen erfordern neue Ansätze zum Entwurf von Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen und deren Implementierung und Wartung. Der Umbau existierender Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen, bei großen Telekommunikationsunternehmen wie auch innerhalb einzelner Unternehmen, stellt große Herausforderungen an die Informatik. Dieser Workshop soll dazu beitragen, wissenschaftliche und praktische Erfahrungen auszutauschen und gemeinsam nach neuen Wegen zu suchen, wie diese für uns alle kritischen Infrastrukturen durch Methoden und Werkzeuge der Informatik beherrschbar gemacht werden können. Themen Mögliche Themen für Workshopbeiträge könnten unter anderem sein: * Architekturen für integrierte Telekommunikationssysteme und Next-Generation-Networks (NGN) * Neue Methoden und Werkzeuge für den Entwurf und die Simulation von Telekommunikationssoftware * Technologien und Mechanismen zur Bereitstellung und Abrechnung von ubiquitären Services * Plattformen und Protokolle für orts- und kontextbezogene Systeme * Ansätze und Methoden zur Modellierung von komplexen Telekommunikationssystemen * Middleware-Lösungen und Softwarearchitekturen für mobile Netze * Kommunikationsmechanismen und Infrastrukturen für spezielle Anwendungen (z.B. Logistik, und Fahrzeuge) * Software- und Systemansätze für Sicherheit und Datenschutz in der Telekommunikation * Software and Services for Operations Support Systems / Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) * Management für Telekommunikationsplattformen * Flexible und skalierbare service-orientierte Architekturen für TelCos * Last-Mile Software Lösungen * Erfahrungsberichte über die Migration auf eine Service-Orientierte-Architektur in Telekommunikationssystemen Einreichungen Die Beiträge für den Workshop können in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst werden und sollen eine Länge von sechs Seiten nicht überschreiten. Die Abgabefrist ist der 28.04.2008 und die Beiträge sind elektronisch als PDF-Datei über das Konferenzsystem einzureichen (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=informatik2008ws). Bitte wählen Sie bei der Abgaben der Track "Software, Services und Plattformen fuer neue Infrastrukturen in der Telekommunikation" aus.
