Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ================================================================ DSOM 2008 CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================ 19th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management DSOM 2008 (part of MANWEEK 2008, September 22-26) Samos Island, Greece www.manweek.org/2008/dsom "Managing Large Scale Service Deployment" The International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management (DSOM) is the premier annual workshop in the general area of network and services management. It has built up its strong reputation over a period of almost two decades. The workshop is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). In its 19th edition, DSOM 2008 will be held September 25-26, 2008 on the Island of Samos, Greece, as part of the 4th International Week on Management of Networks and Services (MANWEEK 2008). SCOPE OF DSOM 2008 The primary theme of DSOM 2008 will be "Managing Large Scale Service Deployment" focusing both on management of overlay networks and on virtualized service infrastructures. The concepts of abstract overlays and virtualization could constitute key contributors for efficient large scale service deployment and testing. Scalable abstract overlay networks accompanied with appropriate management techniques could offer flexibility for future service deployment and consumption with high quality of experience. Virtualization decouples service substantiation from its actual realization over networking and IT infrastructures enabling wide-scale deployment of services. The goal of DSOM 2008 is to bring together industry and academia to address the research issues related to managing large scale services deployment, report on practical experiences and discuss about future research steps. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Management of next generation service networks - Virtualization of networks and services - Self-management and virtualization in distributed systems - Performance and QoS management in virtualized environments - Scalable overlay network management - Algorithms for dynamic overlay network topology construction and service selection - Distributed, decentralized, and P2P-based overlay network management - QoS and resilience through overlay networks - Dynamic service deployment for fault tolerance, resource efficiency and high availability - Federated experimental facilities - Large scale distributed middleware - Management and operations of massively redundant data centers - P2P techniques for management of massive amounts of data and services - Middleware for efficient management of sensor network services - Large scale personal content management systems - Managing security in a virtual environment - Fault management and event correlation - Monitoring and measurements PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged for submission to DSOM 2008. Papers under review elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted to DSOM 2008.

25 Mar '08

%%% Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement %%%% Hindawi - International Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdmb/ Call for Papers Iterative Decoding and Cross-Layering Techniques for Multimedia Broadcasting and Communications The explosive growth of multimedia applications over the Internet and the ever-increasing users' demands over commercial terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting all over the world call for efficient physical and cross-layer techniques able to mitigate the potential problems limiting broadband services over wireless networks. In this scenario, mobile multimedia is expected to be one of the key services of future wireless mobile networks. Meanwhile, recent advances in digital communications have paved the way to a variety of standards aimed at providing multimedia services over terrestrial broadband networks. To cite but a few, DVB-H, T-DVB, T-DMB, wireless LANs, and wireless MANs are some of the most recent standards enabling such technology. Iterative decoding techniques for both source, channel, and joint source-channel coding and decoding and cross-layering techniques have proven to be very effective for providing a viable means of achieving capacity-approaching performance at very reduced computational burden.

Ad hoc wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity with complete lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The last few years have witnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad hoc and sensor networks that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. Such networks can be randomly and rapidly deployed and reconfigured and easily tailored to specific applications including entertainment, civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance due to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication. Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop to multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several challenges face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous deployment of ad hoc and sensor networks. These include variable topology, device heterogeneity, limited power supply and the lack of effective energy-efficient design, lack of QoS and application support, etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

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. Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization for networked systems by including the following key topics (not a restricted list): * Self-organization and self-management * Self-configuration and self-optimization * Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing * Autonomic networking principles and practice * Control theory based models and approaches of self-organization * Feedback control in networked systems * Group-forming networks and techniques * Programmable and cognitive networks for self-organization * Visualization of network system state * Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society (e.g., bio-inspired or based on game theory) * Risks in self-organization and risk management techniques * The (un-)controllability of self-organizing emergent systems * Quality of Service / service level agreements and self-organization * Resilience, robustness, and fault tolerance for networked systems * Security in self-organizing networked systems * Self-* sensor and ad-hoc networks * Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks * Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering * Self-* networks and networked systems for ubiquitous computing * Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence * Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet * Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks * Self-organizing vehicular ad-hoc networks * Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network services * Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks * Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home network * The human in the loop of self-organizing networked systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline (full papers): June 22, 2008 * Notification of acceptance (full papers): September 1, 2008 Initial Submission (full papers) -------------------------------- IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal.

[Tccc] ACM SIGMETRICS Workshop on MAthematical performance Modeling and Analysis (MAMA '08)
by Mark S Squillante 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS -- MAMA 2008 The Tenth Workshop on MAthematical performance Modeling and Analysis MAMA 2008 June 2, 2008 Annapolis, Maryland, USA Held in conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2008 http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~sigmet08/MAMAindex.html Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS The complexity of computer systems, networks and applications, as well as the advancements in computer technology, continue to grow at a rapid pace. Mathematical analysis, modeling and optimization are playing an important role in research studies to investigate fundamental issues and tradeoffs at the core of performance problems in the design and implementation of complex computer systems, networks and applications. The Tenth Workshop on MAthematical performance Modeling and Analysis (MAMA 2008) seeks to bring together researchers working on the mathematical, methodological and theoretical aspects of performance analysis, modeling and optimization. It is intended to provide a forum at SIGMETRICS conferences for talks on early research in the more mathematical areas of computer performance analysis. These talks tend to be based on very recent research results (including work in progress) or on new research results that will be otherwise submitted only to a journal (or recently have been submitted to a journal). Thus, part of the goal is to complement and supplement the SIGMETRICS Conference program with such talks without removing any theoretical contributions from the main technical program. This year's workshop will be held on June 2 (before the main SIGMETRICS technical program). In addition to the presentation of extended abstracts, the workshop will include time for informal technical discussions among the speakers and attendees. SUBMISSION INFORMATION April 18, 2008: Abstract Submission Deadline May 2, 2008: Acceptance Notification May 9, 2008: Final Abstracts for Workshop Aug 1, 2008: Final Extended Abstracts for PER MAMA 2008 encourages the submission of abstracts describing early research on the general mathematical, methodological and theoretical aspects of performance analysis, modeling and optimization. Authors are asked to submit 2-3 page abstracts, following the same formatting instructions as the main SIGMETRICS conference (refer to http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~sigmet08/cfp.html), before the above deadline. (NOTE that this is different from the submission guidelines in previous years.) Submissions violating these formatting guidelines will be returned without review. Abstracts should be submitted electronically, as an e-mail attachment, to mss(a)watson.ibm.com. Postscript or PDF is preferred, although other arrangements can be made by contacting Mark Squillante (mss(a)watson.ibm.com). Submissions will be reviewed by the MAMA program committee, from which a number of abstracts will be selected for inclusion in the workshop program. A version of the abstracts will be provided at the workshop. Extended versions of the abstracts will appear in a special issue of Performance Evaluation Review (PER), with a due date after the workshop making it possible for authors to incorporate the results of, or simply mention, any relevant discussions at the workshop. Note that there are no copyright issues with PER, and thus authors will have complete freedom to submit their work elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Communications Magazine - Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications Datum: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:52:11 +0800 Von: Chin, Woon Hau <w.h.chin(a)ieee.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers 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 .

WAVE systems will fundamentally smooth the progress of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by providing it with high performance physical platforms. WAVE systems will build upon the IEEE 802.11p standard, which is still active and expected to be ratified in April, 2009. Meanwhile, the VHF/UHF (700MHz) band vehicular communications systems are attracting increasingly attention recently. The fast varying and harsh vehicular environment bring about several fresh research topics on the study of WAVE systems and future vehicular communications systems, which include physical layer challenges associated with mobile channels, capacity evaluation, novel network configuration, effective media access control (MAC) protocols, and robust routing and congestion control schemes. The objective of this special section is to gather and circulate recent progresses in this fast developing area of WAVE and future vehicular communications systems spanning from theoretical analysis to testbed setup, and from physical/MAC layers’ enabling technology to network protocol. These research and implementation activities will be considerably helpful to the design of WAVE and future vehicular communications systems by removing major technical barriers and presenting theoretical guidance. This special issue will cover, but not limit to, the following main topics: · 700MHz/5.8GHz vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)/vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) single-input single-output (SISO)/MIMO channel measurement and modeling, channel spatial and temporal characteristics exploration; · Doppler shift study, evaluation and estimate, time and frequency synchronizations, channel estimate and prediction; · Utilization of MIMO, space-time coding, smart antenna, adaptive modulation and coding; · Performance study and capacity analysis of V2V and V2I communications operating over both 5.8GHz and 700Mz; · Software radio, cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access technologies applied to WAVE and future vehicular communications systems; · Mesh network and other novel network configurations for vehicular networks; · Efficient MAC protocols development; · Routing algorithms and congestion control schemes for both real-time traffic warning message broadcasting and high-speed data exchange; · Cross-layer design and optimization; · Testbed or prototype activities. * * *Submission:* We only accept relevant original drafts in a PFD format that are not at present under review by other journals.

This growth concerns network architecture issues (operator-centric versus autonomous networks), access technologies (UMTS, WiFi, WiMax, ADSL, FTTH, etc.), and core network operation (IPv6, IMS, etc.). When a new technology appears, one question often remains unsolved: which services may be developed with this technology? This question raises several other issues: how are existing services impacted by this technology? Which new features are enabled by this technology? Is the technology appropriate to guarantee end-to-end quality of service? What is the evolution path between current network implementations and an implementation using this new technology? Is it possible to interconnect different technologies? How is security ensured if this new technology is implemented? The theme for the EUNICE 2008 summer school "Which networks for which services?" has been proposed to promote fruitful exchanges between academic institutions and Industry, who are equally concerned with the above issues. The Eunice Summer School is open to researchers from any institution, and we cordially invite all researchers to contribute with original submissions. Users and usage * User characterization and profiling * User-centric services * Quality of Experience * Social impact of services Services and Applications * Anonymity and privacy * Mobile services * Location and context-based services * Nomadic communications * Ubiquitous computing * Service architectures in future networks * End-to-End Quality of Service Networks and Infrastructures * Core networks * Radio access networks * Heterogeneous access networks * Ad-hoc and sensor networks Architectures and Protocols * Core and edge node architectures * Security protocols * Access control and Intrusion Detection * 3G and beyond 3G architectures * Cross-layer optimisation Theoretical and Formal Methods * Data fusion and Data mining * Formal methods for security * Protocol engineering * Network simulation * Performance PAPER SUBMISSION See instructions <http://conferences.telecom-bretagne.eu/eunice2008/instructions_to_authors/> http://conferences.telecom-bretagne.eu/eunice2008/instructions_to_authors/ IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline May 1, 2008 Notification of Acceptance June 15, 2008 Camera-Ready Paper due June 30, 2008 Early Registration Deadline June 30, 2008 Conference Sept 8-10, 2008 ABOUT EUNICE The EUNICE network ( <http://www.eunice-forum.org> http://www.eunice-forum.org) has been created to foster the mobility of students, faculty members and research scientists working in the field of information and communication technologies and to promote educational and research cooperation between its member institutions.

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 7, 2008 (5PM US EDT) Notification of acceptance: May 4, 2008 Camera ready version due: May 8, 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.

[Fwd: [Cost290] CFP: Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks]
by Lars Wolf 13 Mar '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] CFP: Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks Datum: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:22:29 +0000 Von: Seán Murphy <sean.murphy(a)iname.com> An: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi CC: Raouf Boutaba <rboutaba(a)uwaterloo.ca>, Albert Banchs <banchs(a)it.uc3m.es> CALL FOR PAPERS Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks Multi-hop wireless networking is an area that is currently receiving much attention within both industry and academia. Over the last number of years significant energies have been focused on specific areas, notably ad hoc networking and sensor networking. More recently, multi-hop techniques are being viewed as an important component of next generation radio access networks, in which end user terminals may be multiple wireless hops from the wired infrastructure. Most of these multi-hop radio access deployments are characterized by intermediate nodes with limited mobility which differentiates these problems from those arising in an ad hoc domain. This approach provides a number of advantages over more typical single-hop wireless access solutions: firstly, it can provide increased coverage at low cost, which is very important in initial network rollout; secondly, it can support increased network capacity as the network matures; thirdly, such systems are typically much more flexible than previous variants with greater support for self-configuration and system adaptation, which leads to management and maintenance cost savings. However, realizing these benefits is highly non-trivial, requiring an excellent understanding of all aspects of a radio system. There are a number of interesting initiatives in this space. A number of standards are currently being defined – 802.11s, 802.16j to mention two. The new radio systems which will be developed under the ITU’s IMT-advanced initiative will have some multihop capabilities and there is also interest within the more traditional cellular community in relay architectures. Hence, work in this area can have a significant impact in a standardization context and it is well positioned to ultimately be adopted by the market. While considerable energy has been expended on some of these problems, many challenges remain. Contributions for this special issue are sought which focus on recent research results describing innovative solutions to problems in this domain. Topics of interest include – although are not limited to – the following: • Distributed channel management techniques • Novel MAC mechanisms for multihop contexts • Routing in 802.11 mesh networks • Use of multi-hop architectures in cellular systems (W-CDMA, CDMA2000) • Mesh and relay systems based on 802.11s and 802.16j • Mobility support in mesh and relay systems • Power control considerations for mesh and relay architectures • Network planning for relay based systems • Performance analysis of multi-hop networks • Self-configuration and management techniques • Results from trials, testbeds and real-world scenarios Submission Prospective authors are invited to prepare their papers according to the instructions laid out in the Instructions to Authors at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet. Manuscripts should be clearly organized, written in proper English and submitted via the web interface at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing the Article Type: MultiHop Wireless Acc.NW Important dates Manuscript Due 1 May 2008 Acceptance Notification 1 September 2008 Final Revised Manuscript Due 1 November 2008 Guest Editors Prof. Raouf Boutaba University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario, Canada rboutaba(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca Dr. Seán Murphy University College Dublin Dublin 4, Ireland sean.murphy(a)iname.com Prof. Albert Banchs University Carlos III Madrid 28911 Spain banchs(a)it.uc3m.es _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290
