Sterbenz" <jpgs(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk>, randy(a)cs.Berkeley.edu, Ken Calvert <calvert(a)netlab.uky.edu> CC: Simon Dobson <simon.dobson(a)ucd.ie> [Colleagues: We would be grateful if you would distribute the attached widely -- Simon] The 5th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing Chicago, IL, USA June, 2008 http://www.acis.ufl.edu/~icac2008/ Call for papers SCOPE To deal with the increasing business, system, and technical complexity of computing systems, devices, networks and applications must learn to manage themselves in accordance with high-level guidance from humans -- a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires significant scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the integration of these new technologies. The purpose of the 5th International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC-08) is to bring together researchers and practitioners to address all aspects of self-management in computing systems. In doing so, we will continue to develop and nurture a growing community that can work together to realize the vision of scalable self-managing systems. The conference builds on previous highly influential meetings in New York, Seattle, Dublin and Jacksonville. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing. In particular, this conference will focus on three areas: networking applications of autonomic technologies, semantic reasoning as used in autonomic devices, systems and applications, and research and/or reports on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Autonomic computing systems that exhibit autonomic characteristics, such as self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection, and self-governance. * Fundamental scientific aspects of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, and/or exploiting emergent behavior; methods to automate manual operations; implementation of new device, network and system functionality; behavior orchestration. * Software architectures for self-managing systems, based on appropriate supporting technologies such as Grid Services, agent-based systems, Web Services, model-based systems or novel paradigms such as biological, economic or social computing. * System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more elements of self-managing components, devices and systems. * Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems and applications. * Self-managing components, such as server, storage, network, mobile device, data center or specific application elements. Emphasis should be placed on techniques or lessons that may generalized to other components. * Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, mechanisms for controlling behavior, and techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. * Applications of autonomic systems with respect to future Internet and other next generation architectures. * Experiences with autonomic systems or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large-scale deployments of self- managing systems or applications. * General management topics, such as minimization of power/energy consumption, modeling of communications entities (e.g., SLAs), negotiation/conversation support, behavior enforcement, tie in with IT governance, and legacy system support. PAPER/POSTER SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATION Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference themes. Submitted papers must include original work, and may not be under consideration for another conference or journal. They should also not be under review or be submitted to another forum during the ICAC-08 review process. Posters are not subject to any of these restrictions. Authors should submit full papers or posters electronically (PDF or postscript) via EDAS using the link on the ICAC-08 conference web site, and should follow IEEE CS format - style files can be found at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/ proceedings/. Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press, which will be distributed at the conference. Submissions will be accepted in electronic form through the EDAS system (http://www.edas.info, conference identifier 'ICAC-08') only. Questions may be addressed to the program chairs. WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITION ICAC-08 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on specific topics of general interest to the autonomic computing community. Workshops are expected to publish proceedings, and should cover areas that may not be addressed in sufficient detail in the main scientific program. ICAC-08 will feature a demonstration and exhibition session consisting of prototypes and technology artifacts such as demonstrating autonomic software or autonomic computing principles. Entries will be judged by a separate subcommittee led by the demo/ exhibit chair. Please see the conference web site for more information. STUDENT AWARDS A student best paper award will be presented, consisting of a commemorative plaque, complimentary student registration to the conference and an honorarium that will partially cover travel & hotel costs. (A student paper is defined as one in which the principal (not sole) author is a student.) The student will be required to present the paper to receive the award. IMPORTANT DATES Full paper: 08:00 GMT, Dec 7, 2007 Workshop proposals: Mar 3, 2008 Demo/Exhibit proposals: Mar 3, 2008 Author notification: Feb 25, 2008 Final manuscripts: April 7, 2008 ORGANISATION General Chairs: Jose Fortes Univ. of Florida, USA Kumar Goswami HP Labs, USA Programme Chairs: John Strassner Motorola Labs, USA (john.strassner(a)motorola.com) Simon Dobson UCD Dublin, IE (simon.dobson(a)ucd.ie)

It is now well-accepted that the total costs of system ownership can have a significant effect on the economics of many service offerings, as well as threatening life and economic health in the event of failures. Autonomic computing and communications apply notions of feedback control, self-organisation, monitoring and reasoning to the construction and management of large systems. Originally suggested by IBM as a way to control total costs of ownership, the fields have expanded to address the design and implementation of stable, "self-*" algorithms as well as the overall design and analysis of adaptive properties and behaviour. Such self-* systems offer to improve the dynamic responses of systems to changing conditions, simplifying their construction, management and deployment. Although often considered separately, the interdependence of computing and communications in the modern world implies that we apply autonomic techniques on a whole-system basis that encompasses both aspects of systems design. In this special issue we have two aims: to provide a guide to a unified field of autonomic computing and communications through invited contributions addressing cross-system and whole-system techniques; and to present novel research contributions that advance the state of autonomic and self-organising systems design. With this in mind, we invite research contributions including (but most definitely not limited to) the following topics: - techniques for self-organisation at a system level - foundational science of autonomics and self-organisation - application of novel techniques to large-scale problems - self-stabilising and self-optimising algorithms - evaluations and evaluation methodologies for self-organising systems - managing trade-offs between system aspects Contributions addressing issues that cross between the autonomic computing and communication fields are particularly welcome.

Bangalore, India http://www.iamcom.org <http://www.iamcom.org/> Paper submission deadline: 10 October, 2007, Friday Midnight, CET Workshop co-Sponsored by: IEEE Communications Society (www.comsoc.org <http://www.comsoc.org/>) CreateNet (www.create-net.it <http://www.create-net.it/>) [held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM conference COMSWARE 2008, with a large participation from industries and government labs] ******************************************************************* SCOPE ====== The topic of assured communications between the application end-points in a distributed embedded system is quite important for the military, automotive, aerospace, and E-Commerce domains. It synergizes three sub-areas of research: adaptation of system operations to the network resources & environment conditions, reliable communications between end-points in the presence of failures, and self-reconfigurations at various system levels for increased resilience. The topic has spurred the need for Intelligent Networking at various layers of the system architecture to support these critical functionalities. IAMCOM 2008 will thus offer a unique and focused forum for researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new results in this important area.. ******************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS =============== Intelligent Networking has become popular in the context of distributed embedded systems for aerospace, automotive, military, E-commerce, and eco-surveillance applications. Unlike the telecom-centric networks of the 90's that had an inward focus on network signaling & control today's intelligent networks are designed from an application perspective. Here, networks could mean a set of collaborative data processing nodes that serve as application proxies ( e.g., airborne nodes in a police surveillance network). The goal of contemporary Intelligent Networking is to improve application-level reliability & performance, security, QoS assurance, and the like. The need for intelligent networking arises because the target application systems are too complex to be studied in isolation. A holistic approach to design that addresses both application and network, can result in performance gains. Often, mathematical models and/or closed-form representations of target application systems do not exist or are too unwieldy to allow offline analysis. For instance, network outages can have a profound impact on the application reliability in many military applications, but can be tolerated in certain commercial application domains. The mapping relationship between the network events and the application activities are deeply buried in the system operations, with no apparent mechanism for the system designers to track these cross-layer relationships. The complex nature of modern day embedded systems applications provides a new dimension to the concept of intelligent networking --- and hence opens a set of new research directions. This new dimension covers three aspects: adaptation to resources & environment, reliable communications between nodes, and reconfigurations at various system levels. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the presentation of ongoing work in embedded systems control & management pertaining to the three pillars of adaptation, communication, and reconfiguration. Papers are solicited on the following topics: 1. QoS assurance architectures 2. Network state fusion, monitoring 3. Utility-based QoS adaptation 4. Vehicular network security 5. Capacity provisioning 6. Survivable links: restoration & routing 7. Dynamic resource allocations 8. Distributed management & control 9. Self-healing networks 10. Cross-layer approaches in system design 11. 'Control-Theoretic' approaches to performance management 12. Embedded systems applications --- aerospace, automotive, military & sensor networks 13. Latency-sensitive data streaming & fusion 14. Service-level specification & verification 15. Energy-aware wireless operations 16. QoS stability in wireless networks 17. MAC-layer optimizations in wireless networks 18. Incentive based QoS models for wireless networks 19. Reliable communications in vehicular networks: Emergency Response 20.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extension to October 10: Special Issue of PMC on Homeland and Global Security Datum: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 11:54:39 +0200 Von: Raffaele Bruno <raffaele.bruno(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal Special Issue on Homeland and Global Security The development, deployment and coordination of pervasive and mobile computing (PMC) has been studied for a number of years, and much of this research is beginning to transition into real solutions for a variety of domains. One domain that is ripe for PMC research and development is homeland and global security. Much of the security mission involves the monitoring of various environments (e.g., ports, borders, mass transit hubs, financial centers, power grids, the Internet) and the prediction and detection of threats to these environments. PMC represents a general solution to maintaining security in these environments. In this special issue we seek contributions representing the state-of-the-art in PMC research and technology targeted toward homeland and global security. Components of such approaches include novel sensor and sensor systems for the detection of various threats, efficient and effective deployment of mobile devices and sensors in such environments, heterogeneous systems for surveillance and threat detection, secure and fault tolerant coordination and communication of sensors in homeland and global security environments, information fusion for prediction and detection of threats, integration and registration of data from multiple sources, and effective decision-making in dynamic environments. And since the nature of the challenge restricts in situ testing of the various approaches, high-fidelity simulation and modeling of such systems is necessary, including the mobile devices and sensors, their communication, the data produced, the characteristics of potential threats, and the temporal interaction in response to the sequence of events leading up to the threat. The objective of this special issue is to gather high quality research papers that address PMC applied to the challenges of homeland and global security. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts containing original research in this area. Topics on integrated and demonstrated systems and experiments with real- world data and involving users are highly encouraged. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: · Sensors and sensor networks for threat detection · RFID-based tracking · Biometric devices · Biological/chemical sensors · Screening devices · Deployment of mobile devices and sensors · Secure and fault tolerant coordination and communication · Sensor data and information fusion · Decision-making in dynamic security environments · Command and control software systems · Testing and evaluation methodologies · Simulation and modeling of security domains and systems · Secure smart environments · Learning and training systems · Disaster mitigation and emergency response Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should be at least 1.5 spaced and must not exceed 30 pages (all inclusive.) If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a significantly enhanced version. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The manuscript preparation guidelines can be obtained from the PMC Journal's web page (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc). Important Dates: Deadline for submission (HARD): Extended to October 10, 2007 Author Notification: December 1, 2007 Revisions Due: February 1, 2008 Final Decision: March 15, 2008 Authors should submit their full manuscripts to the PMC Special Issues Editor-in-Chief, Behrooz Shirazi, using the Elsevier online Editorial System (EES) at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc Guest Editors: Larry Holder, Mohan Kumar and Raffaele Bruno _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: 5th IEEE Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning (CoMoRea'08)' Datum: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 18:45:02 +0200 Von: Daniela Nicklas <nicklas(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de> Antwort an: Daniela Nicklas <nicklas(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de> Organisation: Universität Stuttgart An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de [Apologies for possible multiple copies] Call for Paper ======================================================================== 5th Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning (CoMoRea'08) co-located with the Sixth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Hong Kong, 17 – 21 March 2008 ======================================================================== http://www.percom.org http://www.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/COMOREA Workshop Scope There is a growing interest in context-aware applications that intelligently support user tasks by acting autonomously on behalf of users. Behaviour of context-aware applications depends not only on their internal state and user interactions but also on the context sensed during their execution. Some early models of context information already exist, however many research issues related to context information modeling are still not fully addressed. Existing context models vary in types of context information they can represent. While some models take the user’s current situation, e.g. “in a meeting”, into account others model the physical environment, i.e. locations. A more generic approach to context modeling is needed in order to capture various features of context information including a variety of types of context information, dependencies between context information, quality of context information and context histories. In addition, to ease software engineering problems encountered in programming context-aware applications, appropriate abstractions are necessary to support discovery and reuse of context information as well as scalable methods of context processing and management. This workshop’s aim is to advance the state of the art in context modeling and reasoning and also discuss fundamental issues in context processing and management. The goal is to identify concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modeling and context reasoning as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. Particular attention will be paid to hybrid approaches to context modeling, e.g. an integration of non-ontology based context models with ontology based context models. In particular, the following topics are of interest to this workshop: * Context modeling techniques * Domain-specific context models * Ontology-based approaches to context modeling and reasoning * Hybrid context models (integration of various modeling techniques) * Advanced issues in context modeling, including issues of information quality and ambiguity * Context reasoning algorithms, their complexity and accuracy * Discovery and reuse of context information * Privacy of context information * Distributed and scalable context management * Experiences with using context models to build context-aware applications * Tool support for context modeling and development of context model-based applications * Balance of autonomy with user control Submissions Submitted papers will be refereed by the workshop Program Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the PerCom 08 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Submitted papers should address at least one of the workshop topics. The papers should be in the IEEE format and should be no more than 5 pages in length. Research papers must be an original unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. Experience reports must be stated as such and a comprehensive discussion of the taken approach, experiences, and its assessment is expected. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair CoMoRea page, http://www.easychair.org/CoMoRea08/ The authors of accepted papers of outstanding quality will be encouraged to submit an extended version to the PMC Special Issue on Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management. Important Dates Paper submissions: September 28, 2007 Notification: November 23, 2007 Camera ready version: December 21, 2007 Workshop: March 17 or 21, 2008 Program Committee Daniela Nicklas, Universität Stuttgart, Germany Karen Henricksen, NICTA, Australia -- chairs – Anand Ranganathan, IBM T.J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: PMC Special Issue on Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management Datum: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 02:01:44 +1000 Von: Jadwiga Indulska <jaga(a)itee.uq.edu.au> Organisation: ITEE An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for possible multiple copies] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue of Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal on Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Context-awareness plays an important role in pervasive and mobile computing and therefore context information modelling, reasoning and management have been studied for a number of years. Pervasive computing conferences and in particular dedicated workshops (i.e., the CoMoRea?2003-2008 workshops at PerCom and the Ubicomp workshops) are attracting a large number of papers related to context modelling, reasoning and management and influence the direction of research in this area. There is already a consensus in the research community that formal modelling of context information and appropriate reasoning and management techniques are needed. However, many research issues in this field are still open, including heterogeneity of context information, imperfection of context information, complex mapping between raw context data (e.g., sensor readings) and abstract context information required by applications, privacy of context information, limitations and efficiency of reasoning techniques, and difficulties of managing and provisioning context information in systems where mobility and disconnections are common. The purpose of this special issue is to present the state-of-the-art in context information modelling, reasoning and management. The special issue will include a collection of papers that discuss concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modelling and reasoning, as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts containing original research. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: * Context information modelling techniques, * Domain-specific models of context information, * Hybrid models of context information (integration of various modelling techniques), * Context information reasoning algorithms, their complexity and accuracy, * Discovery and reuse of context information, * Privacy of context information, * Distributed and scalable context information management, * Context model driven application design. Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should be at least 1.5 spaced and must not exceed 35 pages (all inclusive.) If the paper has been published in a conference, the submitted version should be a significantly enhanced version. Authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The manuscript preparation guidelines can be obtained from the PMC Journal's web page (<http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc>). The deadline for submitting manuscripts is February 1, 2008 and authors will be notified of the decision by June 15, 2008. The final manuscripts will be due Dec 1, 2008.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) Datum: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 11:04:41 +0900 Von: millfron <millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for possible multiple copies] ============================================================================ === The First Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) April 4th, Berlin, Germany <http://www.wmcnr.org> http://www.wmcnr.org in conjunction with 6th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt'08) March 31-April 4, Berlin, Germany http://www.wiopt.org Call for papers: http://www.wmcnr.org/CFP_WMCNR2008.pdf ============================================================================ === *** Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 *** Submission guidelines will be announced at workshop webpage Call for Papers The wireless multihop communication has been one of key research issues in recent years both in academia and wireless industry. It encompasses ad hoc radio networks, sensor networks, wireless mesh networks and mobile multihop relay related to the industrial and standardization activities such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.15.4, 802.16j, etc. Further the multihop communications can be combined with cooperative communications and network coding, which attracted more researchers in this field. The idea behind such multihop communications is to utilize the availability of other nodes or to borrow their transmission capability. This in many cases exceeds the delay caused by the multihop relay, the gain from which is capacity enhancement as well as coverage extension of plain radio networks. Now we turn our attention to the robotics area. In these days, many researchers are noticing group behaviors found in small insects or animals such as ants, birds, and fish, trying to realize such behaviors into the control and coordination of a team of robots with their local interaction. The multiple (usually small) robots communicate each other, sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications. In this respect, wireless multihop communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information exchange. The main idea of this workshop is to bridge the above two areas (wireless multihop communications and networked robotics) by opening a place for researchers to meet and exchange their ideas. The workshop welcomes submissions on all aspects of the themes, which include (but not limited to) the following topics: - Communication architecture for collaborative robot systems - Biologically inspired swarm robotics with networking functionality - Multiple robot networking with mutihop- and cooperative communications - Network coding and wireless relay technologies for cooperative robotics - Learning and adaptation in cooperative environments - Applications of multi-robot network systems - Ad hoc robot networks - Cognitive communication technologies for inter-robot team work - Exploiting robot mobility in wireless relay networks - QoS support in networked robotics - Wireless multihop networks under node mobility ============================================================================ === Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: January 5, 2008 Camera-ready papers due: February 1, 2008 Submission guidelines will be announced at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org ============================================================================ === Workshop Chair: Seong-Lyun Kim, Yonsei Univ., Korea (slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr) Technical Programming Chairs: Riku Jäntti, Helsinki Univ.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ICST - MODIES 2008 Preliminary CfP - MObile and DIstributed approaches in Emergency Scenarios Datum: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 04:07:04 -0400 Von: info(a)icstconferences.org Antwort an: info(a)icst.org An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on MObile and DIstributed approaches in Emergency Scenarios (MODIES) At the 2nd International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare 2008 Tampere, Finland, January 29th, 2008 http://www.pervasivehealth.org/ The field of medical emergencies is more dynamic and subject to context variability compared to other e-health fields. The emergency management domain is very information-intensive and mission-critical, and the involved tasks exhibit wide heterogeneity, difficulties in communicating and in physically reaching the place. The efficiency of the assistance is an aspect of vital importance, so that all involved people (healthcare workers, drivers, police, firemen, and so on) need to communicate, coordinate and access distributed resources in a simple and fast way. The employed resources (users and medical devices) must dynamically organize themselves in a temporary net, where communication links are established just in time. Therefore, the major requirements of such support systems are dynamicity and context-awareness, i.e. they have to easily self-configure and adapt to the situation variability. The above described context demands the adoption of very innovative and powerful paradigms, much more dynamic and flexible than those usually adopted for conventional distributed systems. The workshop we propose will focus on mobile and distributed approaches to face the issues of emergency scenarios, and to support involved actors in their tasks. This workshop solicits papers (from researchers and practitioners) that address key issues, open problems, models, infrastructures and innovative applications related to mobile and distributed approaches in emergency scenarios. TOPICS OF THE WORKSHOP include, but are not limited to: - Mobile health care - Emergency management - Disaster response - Architectures, infrastructures and middleware for distributed and mobile health care - Applications in emergency scenarios - Monitoring in mobile contexts - Distributed medical data acquisition, integration and management - (Mobile) agents and e-health - Context-aware approaches for distributed and mobile health care IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2007 Notification to Authors: November 2nd, 2007 Camera Ready: November 16th, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION MODIES 2008 accepts submissions that describe original, research work not submitted or published elsewhere. The workshop accepts two types of submissions: Full Papers presenting significant contributions to research and practice (maximum 10 pages) and Short Papers presenting late-breaking results and ongoing work (maximum 4 pages). All submissions must follow IEEE's conference style two-column format including figures and references.

This event focuses on research and practical applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. The conference's goal is to provide a forum for current work in its early stages. Original papers are invited from the research and operations communities on topics including, but not limited to: * Active Network Measurements * Passive Network Measurements * Performance Metrics * Traffic Statistics * Measurement Visualization * New Measurement Approaches & Techniques * Deployment of Measurement Infrastructure * New Measurement Initiatives * Applications of Network Measurements * Network Measurements and Security * Network Troubleshooting using Measurements * Reproduce (or Refute) Previous Measurement Results PAM values contributions that are broader than experimental papers. Data and tool release are seen as first-class contributions and preference will be given in that direction. In particular, releasing measurement data allows for better science to be conducted in the field of network measurement. Therefore, an award will be given at PAM 2008 for the best paper based on a new dataset that the authors are releasing for community use in subsequent research. To qualify, a paper must significantly utilize a dataset that has been collected for the work presented in the paper. Further, the dataset must be freely available to any researcher; wireless data sets may, for instance, be published through CRAWDAD. Novel datasets are especially encouraged. The awarded paper will be chosen from the set of qualifying papers accepted for the conference by a committee made up of a subset of the program and steering committees. Conference Web Page ------------------- http://pam2008.cs.wpi.edu/ http://www.pamconf.org/ Submission Information ---------------------- To ensure PAM 2008 is fresh and interesting, we are soliciting papers, submitted in the LNCS format, that do not exceed 10 pages. No additional space will be given once a paper has been accepted. Authors should flag papers they wish to be considered for the best paper based on a new dataset award with a footnote on the first page of the paper. The proceedings of past PAM conferences were published in Springer LNCS series, and we have a preliminary indication from Springer that this will continue for PAM 2008 (pending the formal agreement). Authors are, as always, asked to refrain from submitting papers submitted to PAM to other venues during the reviewing period.
