02 Jan '08

Apologies for cross-postings. =================================================== Call for Papers PRESTO'08: Workshop on Programmable Routers for Extensible Services of TOmorrow August 22, 2008 Co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2008 in Seattle, WA, USA. http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2008/workshops/presto/ Recently, there has been renewed interest in the networking research community in re-architecting the distribution of functions in an IP network. These efforts can be described as a dis-aggregation of router functionality into various components and well-defined interfaces, to enable deployment of richer services and easier management of the network. In addition, researchers and practitioners in industry have been exploring the notion of open routers, which allows new functionality to be easily added into routers, as well as exploring router virtualization as a way to support a diverse set of applications and users. These efforts span the range from building open-source routing software, to making routers third-party-developer friendly by exposing router APIs, as recent industry announcements indicate. Programmable network elements hold the promise of accelerating innovation and service deployment. At the same time programmability could exacerbate already challenging network management tasks. This workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between researchers and industry practitioners with a goal of driving service innovation in IP networks using novel extensible router architectures. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures for open/programmable network elements, including transport, wireless and packet forwarding devices. - Abstractions for open/programmable network elements. (Programmability versus extendible configuration. Is programmability really needed? How close to the 'metal' should programmability be? E.g., do-it-yourself versus open APIs. ) - Efficient and flexible data plane programmability. (E.g., firmware versus multi-core platforms.) - Cross-layer aware programmability. - Network element virtualization. - Network composition, configuration and provisioning in virtualized environments. - Architectures, services and/or service features enabled by programmability. - The impact of programmability on network management and operations. The workshop solicits original papers on completed work, position papers, and/or work-in-progress papers on the challenges raised above. Papers that bring out new and interesting approaches at an early stage of their development are very welcome. Instructions for Authors Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length, must be a PDF file and must follow the SIGCOMM Workshop formatting guidelines. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Paper submission details TBD. Important Dates Abstract Submission: February 29, 2008 Paper Submission: March 7, 2008 Acceptance Notification: April 17, 2008 Camera Ready Due: May 9, 2008 Workshop: August 22, 2008 Program Committee PC Chairs T.V.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd IEEE Workshop on advanced EXPerimental activities ON WIRELESS networks & systems --- EXPONWIRELESS 2008 Datum: Wed, 2 Jan 2008 07:21:04 -0600 Von: Yonghe Liu <yonghe(a)cse.uta.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: yonghe(a)uta.edu [Apologies for multiple posting] 3rd IEEE Workshop on advanced EXPerimental activities ON WIRELESS networks & systems --- EXPONWIRELESS 2008 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/EXPONWIRELESS08 23 June, Newport Beach, CA, USA in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2008 (http://wowmom08.ics.uci.edu/) CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- Wireless networks represent a challenging and ever growing research area. In these systems the interactions among the different network layers are very complex and their effects on the overall performance are not easy to accurately identify. Additionally, many simplifying assumptions considered in analytical studies do not hold in practise. Experimental activities involving the development of systems and device prototypes and the collection and analysis of measurements from actual networks can provide insight on the behaviour of such systems in realistic environments, which can be beneficial for understanding how cross-layer interactions impact in practise the overall performance, for deriving realistic simulation models, for analyzing particular phenomena and evaluating algorithms and protocols, and for exploring the design choices in building actual wireless networks. Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the evolution of these networks. After successful events in the last years, EXPONWIRELESS 2008 aims to again bring together all the aspects related to experimental activities on wireless networks, creating a forum where researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, current requirements, and future visions, that are important for the development of new protocols, algorithms, devices and systems. High quality papers discussing original and innovative experimental activities on wireless networks are solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop are (but are not limited to): * Algorithms for self-configuration and self-management of beyond-3G systems * Deployment and experience with multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks * Device prototypes for wireless BANs, PANs, LANs, and MANs * Differentiated services in wireless multimedia networks * Energy-efficient protocols and power management algorithms * Experiences/lessons from recent wireless testbed deployments * Handoff and mobility management in beyond-3G systems * Location-aware services * Middleware platforms for wireless/mobile environments * Mobility models of wireless/mobile networks and systems * Positioning and tracking technologies * Power control and channel assignment * Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems * QoS for real-time voice/video in wireless networks * Seamless internetworking and architectures for beyond 3G systems * Systems and methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in wireless networks * Security and privacy issues in wireless networks * Wireless/Mobile applications and services (e.g., vehicular networks, underwater networks, opportunistic networks, etc.) PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Submitted manuscripts should adhere to the IEEE double-column standard format with 10pt font size for texts. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica, or equivalent. The maximum length of the manuscript is 5 pages.

Best regards, Rolland Vida, Networks 2008 Publicity Chair ********************************************************************** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call ********************************************************************** Call For Papers Conference Title: NETWORKS 2008 - 13th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium "Convergence in Progress" Location & Date: Budapest, Hungary, Sept 28 - Oct 2, 2008 VENUE: Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget Budapest, Hungary Host: Department of Telecommunications and Media Informatics Budapest University of Technology and Economics Technical co-sponsors: IEEE, IEEE Communication Society URL: http://www.networks2008.org/ Contact: info(a)hte.hu ********************************************************************** Networks 2008 will focus on the challenges of planning networks to deliver on the promise of Convergence and NGN. The challenges are many - how to build high performance networks for converged services where every step is cost justified and drives profitable growth, where difficult issues of scalability, end-to-end network performance, network management, network and service control, reliability, security and interoperability are planned and then realized, and where flexibility is maintained to allow experimentation with new applications that can foster new and compelling revenue streams for operators. Unleashing the core value of convergence and the reduction in the number of network platforms requires innovation in network planning methods, scalable architectures, new optimization algorithms, and understanding the tradeoffs between different technology choices and migration paths. We are living in very interesting times right now. The revolution we had been hoping for is finally taking place. Mobile and fixed operators are moving to next generation networks. Hundreds of trials are underway. Many operators have made recent commitments, very significant investments towards their future vision, often reducing spending drastically on extensions to current infrastructures to allow spending on new platforms. At such times, industry professionals are on a high learning growth curve and there is an urgent need for forums where true learning can occur thru the exploration of diverse perspectives and opposing viewpoints, the presentation of leading-edge results in planning specific networks, and state-of-the art methods and tools. Networks 2008 provides such an opportunity. It is the 13th of such symposia, held every two years, and attracting participants from all over the world - from network operators, to systems and software companies, to researchers from universities and industry, to systems integrators. At Networks 2008, we will continue the tradition of state-of-the art papers, invited presentations, and panel sessions, as international experts present their latest findings and share experiences in network strategy, planning, operations, management, control and design.

Grid architectures (or, more generally, Service Oriented Architectures - SOA), viewed as tools for the integration of distributed resources, play a significant role, not only as managers of computational resources, but increasingly as aggregators of measurement instrumentation and pervasive large-scale data acquisition platforms. In this context, the functionality of a grid architecture allows managing, maintaining and exploiting heterogeneous instrumentation and acquisition devices in a unified way, by providing standardized interfaces and common work environments to their users. This is achieved through the properties of isolation from the physical network and from the peculiarities of the instrumentation, granted by standard middleware, together with secure and flexible mechanisms to seek, access, and aggregate distributed resources. The 1st Workshop in this series was held in Sorrento, Italy, in July 2005, within the framework of the International Tyrrhenian Workshop on Digital Communications. It was devoted to the investigation of the main issues related to the sustainable realization of tele-laboratories, where real and virtual instrumentation can be shared and used in a collaborative environment. The second workshop was held in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, in April 2006. The current edition of the Workshop focuses on all aspects related to the effective exploitation of remote instrumentation on the Grid. These include middleware architecture, high-speed networking in support of Grid applications, wireless Grid for acquisition devices and sensor networks, Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning for real-time control, measurement instrumentation and methodology. The Workshop will be structured in technical sessions, some of which will be organized by leading researchers in the field, and will accommodate both invited and regular papers, selected on an open-call basis. The technical program will also include a poster session, where presentations will refer to short papers reporting prominent - but still in progress - research work. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee. Contributions are solicited on all advanced research issues concerning the theme of the Workshop, and particularly in (but not limited to) the following topics: - Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) - Grid architectures with real-time control - Grid middleware extensions for remote control of instruments and devices - Resource Management - Tele-measurement techniques - Distributed synchronization and calibration - Workflow management for large-scale experiments - Virtualization technology - Visualization techniques - Distributed data acquisition and sensor networks - Management of large data sets - Mobile and wireless grids - Management of large-scale physics experiments - Networking solutions in support of Grid architectures - Reliability and fault tolerance - Supporting interactive applications in the grid environment - Collaborative environments for the Grid IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submission: January 15th, 2008 - Acceptance notification: February 28, 2008 - Camera ready copy due: March 14, 2008 PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES - Manuscripts to be considered as regular papers should be original work limited to 20 double-spaced pages. - Work-in-progress papers to be considered for the poster session should be limited to 10 double-spaced pages. - Any paper submitted to the Workshop must not have been published in or submitted to other technical conferences/journals. - Only electronic submissions will be accepted.

[Tccc] Call for Papers - SMTPS 2008 (Deadline extended to December 24, 2007). To be held in Conjunction with IPDPS'08
by Weikuan Yu 22 Dec '07

22 Dec '07

-------------------------------------------------------------------- Apologies if you received multiple copies of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (SMTPS) The Fourth International Workshop on System Management Techniques, Processes, and Services To be held in conjunction with IPDPS'08 April 14, 2008, Miami, FL In today's on-demand era the usage of computer systems are broadened the scope to cover from pervasive systems to high-end and high performance server systems depending on business or scientific computing needs. In our fourth year of SMTPS, we would like to expand our workshop topics to cover pervasive and multi-core system management issues, going beyond high-performance server systems. From a systems management point of view, there are many common issues, whether a system is a high-end server environment or a low-cost pervasive system. For instance, system administrators for servers, distributed systems or even supercomputers need to strive to provide satisfactory services to applications even in the presence of interruptions and exceptions. Moreover, while there is a need to provide runtime management techniques, which are self-adapting and light-weight on one hand, the demand for faster processing power, brings in multi-core process architectures for pervasive usage on the other hand. There is also a recent trend to run traditional applications designed for high-end systems on either resource- constrained pervasive systems or small-scale multi-core systems, due to the fast changing computational demands, while minimizing systems management, resources involved to cut down the costs. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners to identify the new challenges imposed by these new trends and investigating efficient software tools, techniques and service processes to improve the performance, reliability and operation of a spectrum of parallel and distributed systems ranging from pervasive systems to enterprise servers. Topics of interest include, and are not limited to: * Scalable operating system design * Resource management * Power management, energy conservation * Failure diagnosis, failure prediction and failure recovery * Failure-aware runtime management * System bring-up, maintenance and control tools * System virtualization * Storage management * Scalable I/O and file system management * System integration of emerging processor architecture (e.g. multi-core architecture) * Optimization techniques for services management * Services engineering and utility computing techniques Submission Guideline o Extended deadline: December 24, 2007 o Notification of acceptance: Jan 8, 2008 o Camera Ready Due: Jan 28, 2008 o Papers should be submitted electronically through EDAS http://www.edas.info/ o Further detail information available at this website: http://www.ece.rutgers.edu/~yyzhang/ipdps-ws/ General Chair: o Yanyong Zhang, Rutgers Univ - yyzhang(a)ece.rutgers.edu Technical Co-Chairs o Fabrizio Petrini - (fpetrin(a)us.ibm.com) IBM Research o Kyung Dong Ryu - (kryu(a)us.ibm.com) IBM Research o Ramendra K.

Such systems are crucial for medical specialists, allowing a deeper analysis and to understand what is going inside the human body, and therefore they play an essential role for adequate medical diagnosis and treatments. To accomplish efficient and powerful medical imaging systems, many research works have being done in many domains, like the ones related with medical image devices, signal processing, image processing and analysis, biomechanical simulation and data visualization. The main goal of the Workshop “Medical Imaging Systems” is to bring together researchers involved in the related domains, in order to set the major lines of development for the near future. Therefore, the proposed Workshop will consist of researchers representing various fields related to Medical Devices, Signal Processing, Computational Vision, Computer Graphics, Computational Mechanics, Scientific Visualization, Mathematics and Medical Imaging. The Workshop endeavors to contribute to obtain better solutions for more efficient and powerful medical imaging systems, and attempts to establish a bridge between clinicians and researchers from these diverse fields. The proposed Workshop will cover topics related with medical imaging systems, such as: • image acquisition • signal processing • image processing and analysis • modelling and simulation • computer aided diagnosis • surgery, therapy, and treatment • computational bioimaging and visualization • software development • virtual reality • telemedicine systems and their applications [] D-TV Scope: In contrast to traditional TV DTV is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound by means of digital signals. It uses digitally compressed modulation data, which requires decoding by a specially designed television set or a standard receiver (set-top box) as well as via PC-TV based on ADLS (VDSL). Digital Television has several advantages regarding technically as well as content and programme related aspects. One of the most significant is the use of a smaller channel bandwidth. This frees up space for more digital channels, other non-television services such as pay-multimedia services and the generation of new revenue models based on interactive advertisement and marketing features. Furthermore there are special services such as multicasting (more than one programme on the same channel), electronic programme guides and interactivity providing a wider range of application. Accordingly within the last year a growing up of specialised digital TV channels (Special Interest Channels) has to be observed European wide. This new growing up stream is mainly characterised by the phenomena of merging television (TV) and information technology (IT) know how, methods and techniques. In this context the workshop targets to show up the development in both directions: the technically aspects as well as the content and programme issues. It provides a presentation and discussion platform for exchanging experiences made within the establishment as well as the maintenance of digital special interest channels. Main focus will be to point out the interdependencies and the mutual influences of technically streams and content respectively service related issues. Topics: * Broadband Television * Interactive Television * IPTV - Web-TV * DVB-H, DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-C * MHP & Interactive Television * Set-Top-Boxes * Full Digital Production Chain Management * Digital-Video-Journalism * DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) * FreeTV & PayTV * Interactive Video * Interactive Advertising Formats * Event Oriented Interview Formats * Event Driven Program Schemes & Formats * Mobile Content * Cross-Format Content & Knowledge Pooling * Cross-Media Content Production & Distribution * Indexing and Retrieval of Digital Content * Semantically Enrichment of Digital Content * Security & Digital Rights Management (DRM) * Watermarking & Copyrights & Protection * Cross-platform productions on TV Media-Convergence * Peer-to-peer Grid TV Applications For more information on the workshops see: http://www.eurosis.org/cms/index.php?q=node/476 Conference Committee General Conference Chair João Manuel R.

[Tccc] CfP: Special Session on Decentralized and Self-Organizing IT-Infrastructures for Crisis Response and Management - Deadline extended to Jan 6, 2008
by Nicolas C. Liebau 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

EXTENDED PAPER DEADLINE: January 6, 2008 Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message... +-------------------------------------------------------------+ Call for Papers SPECIAL ACADEMIC SESSION ON * Decentralized and Self-Organizing IT-Infrastructure * * for Crisis Response and Management * http://www.quap2p.tu-darmstadt.de/de/events/iscram-2008/ Session ID: INT-03 at ISCRAM 2008 The 5th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Washington, DC, USA May 4-7, 2008 http://www.iscram.org +-------------------------------------------------------------+ Motivation Recent crisis like the recent Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and Hurricane Katrina demand quick first response organization as well as a high number of participating helpers and organizations. These two requirements are naturally supported by decentralized and self-organizing IT-infrastructures. While p2p systems like Groove achieve an easy way of enabling communication between heterogeneous first response teams. There are crucial inefficiencies in terms of network resource utilization, which is a vitally important requirement in crisis response situations. There are still numerous open topics necessary to put crisis response and management software on a solid technical base. Focus for this special session is the technical management of distributed crisis response systems. The areas covered by this session are listed below. Additional contributions concerning crisis response systems that are not explicitly mentioned but fit into the scope of this session are welcomed as well. Research Area The technical challenges for a successful deployment of a Crisis Response and Management System can be divided in three main areas. --------------------------------------------------------- Crisis Management Applications --------------------------------------------------------- Decentralized and Self-organizing IT Infrastructure --------------------------------------------------------- TCP/IP-based Communication Layer --------------------------------------------------------- While the base for communication, shown as TCP/IP based communication layer is crucial for a successful deployment of a Crisis Response System, the main focus of this special session is the second layer "Decentralized and Self Organizing IT infrastructure". The underlying TCP/IP based communication layer becomes increasingly more a commodity product while intelligent replica placement, distributed storage, service discovery, access control and context awareness need to be provided by the second layer. Based on the available services and infrastructure of the second layer the top layer provides various user interfaces to the deployed services. While all three layers are needed for a successful deployment of a Crisis Response and Management System, the main focus of this session is on the design of the second layer. Topics . Overlay networks specialized for Decentralized Crisis Response and Management . Decentralized service discovery . Distributed information storage and retrieval . Decentralized and self-organizing mechanisms for replica management . Decentralized location awareness . Group membership and access control . Simulation environments for "Decentralized and Self-Organizing IT-Infrastructures for Crisis Response and Management" . Decentralized Crisis Response and Management Systems . Systems Implications on Policy and Organizational Structures . Case Studies on "Decentralized and Self-Organizing IT-Infrastructures" *Important ISCRAM 2008 Dates:* January 6, 2007: Paper submission deadline February 10, 2008: Notification of (conditional) acceptance February 22, 2008: Early registration deadline March 1, 2008: Final camera-ready paper submission deadline May 4-7, 2008: ISCRAM 2008 Session Chairs: .

SAKS 08: Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beitr ägen
by Michael Zapf 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, anbei schicke ich den Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen für einen neuen Durchgang unseres SAKS-Workshops, der nächstes Jahr in Wiesbaden stattfinden wird. Weitere Details entnehmen Sie bitte dem unten stehenden Text. Viele Grüße Michael Zapf ------------------------------8<------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS SAKS 2008 http://www.self-org.info/saks/ Workshop über Selbstorganisierende, Adaptive, Kontextsensitive verteilte Systeme 10. März 2008, Fachhochschule Wiesbaden im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Treffens der GI/ITG-Fachgruppen KuVS und Betriebssysteme *** Einreichungstermin: 14.01.2008 *** Motivation Die aktuelle Entwicklung verteilter Systeme wird geprägt von neuartigen technischen Möglichkeiten, IT-Systeme überall in unserem täglichen Leben einzusetzen und sie auf die Umgebung oder den Anwender selbständig reagieren und anpassen zu lassen. Mit der wachsenden Zahl dieser vernetzten Systeme steigt der Aufwand beträchtlich, solche IT-Landschaften aufzubauen und zu verwalten. Statische Konfiguration und manuelle Steuerung der Systeme werden in Zukunft dieser wachsenden Größe, Dynamik und Allgegenwart der IT-Systeme nicht mehr gerecht. Stattdessen sind dynamische Anpassungsfähigkeit, autonomes Handeln und Selbstverwaltung gefordert. Häufig wird dieser Ansatz von Beispielen aus der Natur genährt: Ameisenkolonien und Fischschwärme dienen als Inspiration und Vorbilder für die Entwicklung selbstorganisierender und anpassungsfähiger Systeme. Doch jenseits der nahe liegenden Simulationen von natürlichen Vorgängen hat die Forschung einen bislang nur schwer einschätzbaren, langen Weg vor sich. Zahlreiche Begriffe der Systemtheorie, wie etwa Selbstorganisation oder Emergenz, lassen eine strenge Definition innerhalb der Informatik bislang vermissen. Es zeigen sich zwar allerorten Bemühungen, natürliche Phänomene in der Erwartung nachzubilden, die Komplexität großer Netze autonomer Systeme zu beherrschen, doch sind diese bislang kaum über den Prototypzustand hinausgelangt und in der realen Anwendung noch wenig überzeugend. Der Workshop widmet sich den Themen Selbstorganisation, Kontextsensitivität und Adaptivität in verteilten Systemen. Dabei sind alle Belange verteilter Systeme von der Kommunikation über die Middleware bis zu den Anwendungen von Interesse. Der Themenbereich ist absichtlich weit abgesteckt, damit die inhärente Vielfalt und die zahlreichen Querbezüge diskutiert werden können. Nur so kann sich die Informatik diesem ungemein vielschichtigen Problemfeld nähern und zu konstruktiven Ansätzen gelangen. Ziel Ziel des Workshops ist eine Fortsetzung des Ideenaustauschs, wie er in den gleichnamigen Veranstaltungen SAKS an der Universität Kassel 2006 sowie im Workshop an der KiVS-Tagung in Bern im März 2007 zu erleben war. Die Bestandsaufnahme von Forschungs- und Entwicklungsaktivitäten, die im deutschsprachigen Raum auf dem beschriebenen Gebiet bearbeitet werden, soll fortgesetzt werden. Wir hoffen, dass der Workshop die Kooperation der beteiligten Akteure und Fachgruppen weiter stärkt und mittelfristig zu einer stärkeren internationalen Sichtbarkeit der deutschsprachigen Forschung und Entwicklung auf diesem Gebiet führt. Insbesondere ist die Teilnahme von Vertretern aus der Industrie erwünscht, um den Kontakt zur industriellen Praxis zu intensivieren und gemeinsame Interessen auszuloten. Themen und Beiträge Der Workshop soll primär der Diskussion und der Vernetzung der Akteure beider Fachgruppen dienen. Daher sind neben Berichten über bereits erzielte Ergebnisse auch Vorstellungen von neuen Projekten und laufenden Arbeiten sehr erwünscht. Die folgende Liste nennt beispielhaft einige mögliche Themen für Beiträge zum Workshop: - Selbstorganisation, Selbstkonfiguration und andere Selbst-Eigenschaften - Methoden zur Konstruktion und Evaluation von Selbst-Eigenschaften - Selbstorganisation in Service-orientierten Architekturen (SOA) - Selbstorganisation in Robotersystemen - Selbstorganisation des Rechenzentrumsbetriebs - Autonomic Computing und Communications - Organic Computing, biologisch inspirierte Ansätze - Emergenz: Theorie und Praxis - Softwarearchitekturen für autonome Systeme - Adaptivität in Anwendungen, Middleware und Betriebssystemen - Vertrauen und Verlässlichkeit bei selbstorganisierenden Systemen - Kontextmodelle und Kontextverarbeitung - Entwicklungsmethoden für personalisierte kontextsensitive Dienste - Anwendungen: Berichte über Forschungsprototypen - Industrielle Anforderungen und Projekte Die eingereichten Beiträge werden vom Programmkomitee des Workshops im Hinblick auf ihr Diskussionspotential und ihren Beitrag zu einem repräsentativen thematischen Querschnitt ausgewählt. Einreichung Die Einreichung von Artikeln wird über E-Mail an saks08(a)self-org.info vorgenommen. Beiträge sind bevorzugt in Deutsch einzureichen, können aber auch in Englisch verfasst werden. Sie müssen im PDF-Format vorliegen und können einen Umfang von 6 bis 12 Seiten aufweisen.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Implications and Control of Middleboxes in the Internet Datum: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 15:45:56 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)CS.UNI-GOETTINGEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Referenzen: <46BC4F83.70002(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Implications and Control of Middleboxes in the Internet Important Data ============== Manuscript Submission Due: March 1, 2008 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: July 15, 2008 Special Issue Publication Date: September/October 2008 Call for Papers =============== Network Address Translators (NAT) and IP firewalls have been introduced to the Internet some time ago, and over the time become an integral part of the Internet architecture. Moreover, there are also other types of middleboxes, such as Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateways, Application Layer Gateways (ALG), Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEP) and web proxies. These intermediary boxes perform functions different from normal IP packet treatment, which can even change the content of packets or do rerouting of IP packets. There have been diverse views on the value of middleboxes. Some believe that middleboxes introduce problems for network applications as well as challenges to the traditional end-to-end Internet architecture. These issues range, for instance, but not limited to, from naming and addressing of nodes behind NATs, directionality of communication establishment, and performance impairments. On the other hand, many administrators and operators see the middleboxes represent an important part for their network operations. For example, firewalls are widely deployed with the intention of securing enterprise, campus and home networks, so as to block attacks to nodes or keep nodes from sending malicious traffic. The Internet community has acknowledged the emergence of the middleboxes and developed middlebox control and coordination protocols that allow end hosts (or application proxies) to learn about the presence of middleboxes and communicate their needs (i.e. required packet treatment) to those devices. A number of middlebox control protocols, such as UPnP, MIDCOM and STUN, have been developed over the years and are partially used in current deployments. The papers in this special issue will focus on the state-of-the-art research in various aspects of middleboxes and middlebox control mechanisms, which help to understand their impact to the Internet architecture and network operations, and how they can be further integrated, or leveraged for different purposes, such as load balancing and mobile network environments, among the others.

At the same time, the Internet architecture struggles to incorporate the functionality that will sustain this increasingly more mobile and more dynamic Internet use. Efficient mobility management and mobility optimizations, locator-identifier splits, multihoming, security and related network operation and management functions are still in the early stages of development. It is, however, already clear that supporting widespread mobility poses to significantly impact the original end-to-end design of the Internet. At the same time, critical momentum is building to significantly revise or even replace the current Internet architecture. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, and the topic is also actively being discussed in the vendor and network operator communities. These Future Internet efforts offer the exciting opportunity to design radically different approaches to supporting host and network mobility and multihoming, and may eventually lead to an internetwork architecture with significantly more advanced mobility features than those that the piecemeal extensions of the current Internet protocols result in. MobiArch'08 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent advances in architectures, protocols and emerging technologies to enable mobility and multihoming in the Internet, as well as concepts and designs to support widespread mobility and multihoming in future internetworks. Early results, position papers, systems and measurement papers are particularly welcome. TOPICS MobiArch'08 covers all aspects related to mobility in the current and future Internet, including, but not limited to: * Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers of the Internet protocol stack, as well as cross-layer approaches * Novel concepts to support widespread mobility and multihoming in a Future Internet * Routing and addressing issues (including locator/identifier splits) and their impact on the Internet architecture * Multihoming, including flow distribution and load-sharing for wireless and mobility * Performance evaluation, experimentation and modeling of Internet mobility * Models for mobility patterns and their experimental validation * New wireless technologies and services and their impact on the Internet architecture * Location management, positioning and data management for wireless and mobility * Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and their impact on the Internet architecture * Social, economic, scalability and deployment issues SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions must be no longer than six pages, including all figures and references, must be in PDF format, and must follow the ACM formatting guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).

##################### ATC-08 Call For Papers ###################### The 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing - Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality - http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/ Organized by University of Stavanger and Oslo University College, Norway Technical Sponsorship by the IEEE Task Force on Intelligent Ubiquitous Computing Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008 ################################################################### Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing dramatically in both scale and heterogeneity, becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled emergence. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services.
