c -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC - CALL FOR PAPERS Datum: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 13:24:47 -0400 Von: Dario Pompili <dario(a)ece.gatech.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CALL FOR PAPERS] IEEE JSAC - CALL FOR PAPERS Underwater Wireless Communications and Networks Wireless information transmission through the ocean is one of the enabling technologies for the development of future ocean-observation systems, whose applications include gathering of scientific data, pollution control, climate recording, detection of objects on the ocean floor, and transmission of images from remote sites. Implicitly, wireless signal transmission is crucial for control of autonomous vehicles which will serve as mobile nodes in the future information networks of distributed underwater sensors. Wireless communications underwater are usually established using acoustic waves, while electro-magnetic waves can be used over short distances. Acoustic communications are governed by three factors: limited bandwidth, time-varying multipath propagation, and low speed of sound underwater. Together, these factors result in a communication channel of poor quality and high latency, thus ironically combining the worst properties of terrestrial mobile radio and satellite channels. In addition, because acoustic propagation is best supported at low frequencies, high-rate underwater systems are inherently ultra-wideband. These facts necessitate dedicated design of communication algorithms and network protocols at all layers of the system architecture. The proposed JSAC special issue seeks original research papers that explicitly address the unique technical challenges encountered in underwater scenarios, including (but not limited to) the following areas: * Statistical channel modeling and estimation * Underwater channel and network capacity * Bandwidth-efficient modulation/detection methods * Acoustic modem design and performance * Coding for underwater channels * Optical and RF underwater systems * Network topology and architecture * Resource allocation and spatial reuse * Multiple access techniques * Medium access control protocols * Routing protocols * Transport protocols * Traffic characterization and modeling * Data aggregation, fusion, and storage * System integration and applications * Experimental platforms * Application experiences Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html and submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://edas.info according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: FEBRUARY 15, 2008 Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: August 15, 2008 Publication: 4th Quarter 2008 For any additional request, please contact Michele Zorzi, zorzi(a)dei.unipd.it GUEST EDITORS John Heidemann, Information Sciences Institute (johnh(a)isi.edu) Urbashi Mitra, University of Southern California (ubli(a)usc.edu) James Preisig, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (jpreisig(a)whoi.edu) Milica Stojanovic, Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (millitsa(a)mit.edu) Michele Zorzi, University of Padova (zorzi(a)dei.unipd.it) Dario Pompili, Ph.D. School of Electrical & Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA Email: dario(a)ece.gatech.edu http://users.ece.gatech.edu/dario/ Mobile: (404) 324-2342 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: PIK Journal - Special Issue on the Modeling of Self-Organizing Systems Datum: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 17:32:28 +0200 Von: Patrick Wuechner <patrick.wuechner(a)UNI-PASSAU.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 Dear colleagues, Please consider to contribute to the upcoming PIK journal special issue on the "Modeling of Self-Organizing Systems". The deadline is August 19th. Thus, there is one month to go. Submissions are welcome in English and German. Details can be found in the CfP attached below and on http://www.net.fim.uni-passau.de/pik With best regards from Passau, Germany, Patrick Wuechner Hermann de Meer P.S. Please apologize multiple copies. ----------------------------- Call for Papers ---------------------------- PIK Special Issue: "Modeling of Self-Organizing Systems" ("Selbst-Organisierende Systeme und deren Modellierung") http://www.net.fim.uni-passau.de/pik Scheduled date of publication: March 2008 (PIK Vol.31 No.1) OVERVIEW Self-organization is foreseen to play a major role in future communication systems. Obviously, this shift in paradigm leads to a variety of open research challenges. Solutions to these challenges are pivotal in either leveraging the possible advantages of self-organizing systems, but could also turn out to be a heavy burden for both operators and users. The goal is clear: after purposefully introducing (artificial) means of self- organization, the beneficial features -- often identified as the so-called self-* properties -- should clearly outnumber the critical ones, like un-controllability, undesired instability and criticality, or unpredictability. Thus, it is essential for the community to learn how to design, engineer, optimize, and control complex, almost chaotic systems in a structured, purposeful way.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call For Participations - Personalized Networks 2007 (PerNets 2007) Datum: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 12:00:56 +0200 Von: Venkatesha Prasad, R. <Vprasad(a)ewi.tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call For Participations ============================================================ Second International Workshop on Personalized Networks http://pernets.org/ To be held in conjunction with: The 4th Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networks and Services (MOBIQUITOUS 2007, http://www.mobiquitous.org) August 10, 2007 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA ============================================================ Purpose of this workshop =================== The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Keynote Speaker ============= Future Networking Technologies: A Funding Agency Perspective Sirin Tekinay, Program Director, National Science Foundation (NSF) This talk not only introduces and discusses National Science Foundation initiatives and programs relevant to the workshop, but also seeks audience input for exemplary applications of their subtopics. These activities range from individual program elements to foundation-wide initiatives. The directorate of Computer Information Systems and Engineering (CISE) of the National Science Foundation announced its "Clean Slate Internet" vision and initiative two years ago. The project, Global Environment for Networking Innovations (GENI), has been underway since then. Research programs around GENI have been formulated (Future Internet Design- FIND, Cyber Trust, and Science for Internet's Next Generation- SING) by different CISE organizations. However, a comprehensive research portfolio that will bring together wireless communications and sensor networking, social computing, network architecture, and mobility is on the drawing board of a CISE-wide team. Another CISE-led NSF-wide initiative is the Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) which has the following five components: Knowledge Extraction, Complex Interactions, Computational Experimentation, Virtual Environments, and Educating Researchers and Students. These themes call for projects at the interface of natural sciences, social sciences, computing, and engineering. Advanced networking research, including network science (as opposed to the art of networking) will be covered in "Complex Interactions." Technical Program ============= The Tentative Technical Program of PerNets Workshop can be found at: http://www.pernets.org/program.html Registration ========= You can complete your registration at the following website: https://icst.org/registration/reg_mobiquitous_2007.php _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] CfP - ITU-T ' Innovations in NGN' Datum: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 09:37:55 +0200 Von: Kai Jakobs <kai.jakobs(a)i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> Organisation: Aachen University An: <elg(a)kuvs.de> **Bitte entschuldigen Sie, wenn Sie diese Nachricht mehrfach bekommen*** Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, dieser CfP koennte fuer Sie von Interesse sein. Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist - in alter ITU-Tradition - kostenlos. Der Tagungsband wird - aller Voraussicht nach - bei IEEE erscheinen. Fuer weitere Informationen stehe ich gerne zur Verfuegung. Viele Gruesse aus AC Kai Jakobs. INNOVATIONS IN NGN - FUTURE NETWORK AND SERVICES AN ITU-T KALEIDOSCOPE EVENT First Call for Papers <http://itu.int/ITU-T/uni/kaleidoscope> Innovations in Next Generation Networks is the first in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences that aims at increasing the dialogue between academia and experts working on the standardization of information and communications technologies (ICT). By viewing technologies through a Kaleidoscope, these forward looking conferences will also seek to identify new topics for standardization. Arguably no industry undergoes faster changes than the ICT industry. So looking five, ten or more years into the future - What will the network look like? Which services will be offered? How will it affect people's lives? NGN represents one of the most complex transitions ever to have occurred in telecoms. Taking into account new realities in the ICT industry such as the need to converge and optimise operating networks and the extraordinary expansion of digital traffic, NGN will enable a richer set of applications to the end user, as well as allowing operators to benefit from a far simpler architecture and the economies of scale associated with standards. In addition, in NGN, new services can be added far more quickly and easily, without the need to add any new network infrastructure. Objectives Innovations in NGN will bring together new and visionary ideas on the future of NGN. It will highlight technologies, services and applications five years and beyond that will capitalize on the NGN infrastructure and will lead us to the so-called ubiquitous network society in which information can be accessed anywhere, at anytime, by anyone and anything. The event will also cover multidisciplinary aspects related to the deployment of NGN, including analysis of the regulatory and societal challenges that such deployment will bring. Innovations in NGN is to inspire contributions towards a kaleidoscopic view of communication habits for the future. We know what NGN is in terms of the underlying technology, but we don't know what services will emerge, how NGN will affect the marketplace for ICT, and how society will be affected. To this end ITU is issuing this call for papers, a number of topics of interest are suggested below. Audience Innovations in NGN is targeted at all researchers, academics, students, engineers, regulators and thinkers who go "beyond the next quarter". No participation fee will be charged. Date and venue 12-13 May 2008, Geneva, Switzerland. Submission of papers Prospective authors are invited to submit complete, original papers with up to 6000 words including summary and references using the template at the conference website. (The camera-ready version will be limited to a maximum of eight pages). Main themes are suggested below. All papers will be handled electronically and reviewed through a double-blind, peer-review process. Please note that the submission dates for papers are strict deadlines. Full details of the submission procedure will be available from the conference website. Deadlines Submission of complete papers: 15 October 2007 Notification of paper acceptance: 15 January 2008 Submission of camera-ready paper: 29 February 2008 Registration for the event: 18 April 2008 Awards Awards will be granted to selected best papers, as judged by the organizing and programme committee.

Nodes in today's challenged networks often include mobile nodes, space-based nodes, sensor/actuator nodes and other devices. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries can also be regarded as challenged networks as can be ad-hoc communication between personal devices. The Internet protocol architecture suffers some problems when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. In addition to the workshop program consisting presentations and demonstrations, we seek poster presentations discussing recent (possibly early) research results. Poster presentations with accompanying demonstrations are encouraged. Such demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. Demo proposals should include one additional page describing the precise setup and requirements. Poster and poster abstracts will be published on the CHANTS 2007 web page. Submission Format ----------------- Poster abstracts must be at most 2 pages in size with a font size not smaller than 10pt. Please email the PDF version of your abstract to both co-chairs using the subject "CHANTS poster submission": jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi krash(a)bbn.com Important Dates --------------- Poster abstract submission: 2 August 2007 (23:59 GMT) Notification of acceptance: 12 August 2007 Final abstract due: 1 September 2007 ----------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

Pervasive Management for Ubiquitous Networks and Services 7-11 April 2008 Salvador - Bahia - Brazil http://www.ieee-noms.org/2008 Important Dates August 24, 2007 Abstract Registration September 1, 2007 Deadline for Technical Session Papers September 1, 2007 Deadline for Workshop Proposals The 11th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2008) will be held on 7-11 April 2008 in the exiting and lively city of Salvador - Bahia - Brazil. Held in even-numbered years, NOMS 2008 will follow the 20 years tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary forum for technical exchange of the research, standards, development, systems integration, service provider, and user communities. NOMS 2008 will present innovative approaches and technical solutions for integrated systems and services including communication networks, host systems, enterprise applications, service oriented architectures, and delivery of management services. The conference provides a highly selective peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, application sessions, and software tools sessions. In addition, the conference offers tutorials, posters, and panels as well as vendor exhibits covering many aspects of management. Management gets pervasive and needs to vanish since the networks and systems are vanishing from the users' perception. Users should stay users, not managers of their information and communication platforms and services. Pervasive systems and services require considerations for multi-service and multi-domain environments of heterogeneous technologies, wide range of service offerings, new management strategies, and business models. Pervasive management encompasses provisioning, operation, and maintenance for up-scaled systems and still not bother users and administrator enabling automated management. This broad scope and the distributed nature also call for new approaches to dependability, resilience, quality-of-service, mobility management, and services billing. In particular, these considerations include the combination of wireless and wired (FMC), high and low throughput systems, and small as well as large scale deployments. NOMS 2008 will offer five types of sessions: technical, application, poster, panel, and software tools. Technical sessions will present very high-quality papers on the latest research results in the network operations and management area. Application sessions will present papers focusing on the experience of IT and telecommunications industries, such as service providers, OSS vendors, and equipment manufacturers. The scope here includes customer requirements, management system implementations, and business practices. Poster sessions will provide an insight into work-in-progress. Panel sessions will focus on business implications, market trends, and emerging applications with panelists that are technology and business leaders. The software tools sessions are targeted for the presentation of software tools including open source management software and demonstrations of research prototypes. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library and the conference proceedings. Authors are invited to submit complete, unpublished papers that are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, or related topic areas: Management Paradigms and Architectures * Self-managing networks (self-healing, self-optimizing,self-protecting and self-configuring) * Self-adaptive applications * Autonomic management of networks, systems, and services * Self-repairing distributed systems * Integrated control and management * Distributed, decentralized, and scalable management * P2P approaches for scalable network management * Policy and role based management * Programmable, active, and adaptive management * Resilience, dependability, and survivability * "Plug-n-Play" component-based management * Customer controlled and managed networks * Proactive and reactive management * Biologically inspired management systems and techniques Theories and Models * AI techniques for management: knowledge-based, intelligent agents, machine learning, neural networks * Theory (control, optimization, economic) for management * Evaluation and benchmarking of management systems and technologies * Information models and Internet technologies (Web, XML, DEN, CIM,SID) Management Standards and Enabling Technologies * Integration and middleware technologies for management * Service-oriented architectures and management * Data warehousing, ontology, mining and statistical methods in management * Next generation operation support systems * User interfaces and virtual reality in management * Inter-domain Management Management and Virtual Environments * Managing virtual resources and services (VPNs, VLANs) * Virtualization of operations centers, help desks * Information modeling in virtual environments Service Engineering and Operational Challenges * Service design and quality assurance * Resource inventory, planning, and allocation * Service discovery and service negotiation * SLA and business process management * Quality-of-Service (QoS) management * Service portability/mobility (VHE) * Transaction-oriented services and supply chain management * "Soft" networks (Soft-switch, Parlay, 3GPP OSA, JAIN) and service switching * Dynamic service requirements analysis * Charging and accounting of integrated systems and services * Self-adaptive e-business services * Self-organized service deployment Operation and Management Functions * Security management, federated identity management * Mobility management * End-to-end measurements * Network, service, and systems monitoring * Alarm and event correlation and filtering * Customer care and workforce management * Process engineering for operators' service and network management * Performance and fault management * Configuration and accounting management * Integration and testing of commercial off-the-shelf products * Management of content hosting and delivery * Path Protection and restoration * Internet service pricing, bandwidth trading * Decision making in self-* systems Management of Emerging Networks and Services * Converged networks and services * Peer-to-peer and community networks * Grids, grid services, and grid applications * Ad hoc and self-configurable networks * Multi-sensor and self-organizing networks * Overlay networks, virtual topologies and VPN services * Wireless broadband networks (2G, 2.5G, 3G, and beyond) * High speed access, Wireless Local (WLANs) and Personal Area Networks (PANs) * Optical networks (metropolitan, all optical, WDM, DWDM, optical IP) * Video and broadband cable networks * VoIP/NGN infrastructures and services * IP TV, Video on Demand * FTTX networks, services, and protocols * Storage Area Networks (SAN) and ASPs server farms * Web services and content delivery networks * Smart homes and networked haptics * Satellite and interplanetary networks * e-World (e-health, e-commerce, e-business, and e-government) Organizational Aspects of IT Service Management * Process engineering and process frameworks (ITIL, eTOM) * Quality management for IT service provisioning * Workflow management for IT service provisioning * Risk management and IT governance issues * Business alignment of IT service management Submission Instructions Please use the appropriate link to submit your technical or application session papers, because submissions will be handled differently.

WSNs are characterized by the need to carefully integrate functions traditionally considered to be separate, in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, interaction of research from different backgrounds is required: expertise on hardware, middleware, communication protocols and application design, is needed. WSNs are evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, also because actuators in the network have to be supported. Moreover, WSNs, traditionally designed as stand-alone networks, are now considered as part of larger heterogeneous systems having Wireless Wide or Local Area Networks as means to link the environment to applications and data repositories hosted by computers connected to the Internet. This conference intends to create a forum where researchers with different experience and background can discuss cross-layer approaches, novel solutions for specific problems and envisage the future development of WSN functionality. Works describing original, previously unpublished research results, are sought. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSNs * Physical Layer Techniques for WSNs * Communication Protocols * Operating Systems and Programming Abstractions * Middleware and Service Infrastructures * Information Processing * Security * Vertical Functionality * Novel Applications * Prototypes, Field Studies, and Testbeds Either proposals of full papers, posters or demos can be submitted.

Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. A fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems that are capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical systems, which have similar high stability and efficiency often found in biological entities. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers focusing on (but not limited to) the following topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools: - Mathematical models of biological processes - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Cellular signaling pathways b) Bio-inspired technical systems: - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies c) Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT): - Network algorithms and protocols - Autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols - Adaptive and self-healing network architectures - Self-organizing network paradigms - In-network processing and autonomic networking - Adaptive sensor and actor networks - Topology control and network organization - Localization and synchronization - Mobility models - Multi-agent systems and robotics - Novel applications and services - Self-learning defense strategies - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms - Network and information security - Experimental studies - Nano-scale and molecular communication Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages, or short papers of up to 3 pages, in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it).

For example, future heterogeneous networks will integrate ad hoc and sensor solutions into wired and/or wireless fixed infrastructures. The integration of ad hoc and sensor networks together with the Internet and wireless infrastructure networks increases the network capacity, the coverage area and application domains. The interconnection of these networks must not only ensure the transport traffic between a source and a destination. However, this interconnection must keep on providing a very high quality of service and make various flows safe and secure. Carrying out these challenges requires the modification and/or the adaptation of some protocols. This conference is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences and research results about all aspects of networks. It will also initiate discussions on how to improve the presented solutions.

04 Jul '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ICNP 2007 - Call for Posters (Deadline Sept 7. 2007) Datum: Tue, 03 Jul 2007 13:56:24 -0400 Von: Jorg Liebeherr <jorg(a)comm.utoronto.ca> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR POSTERS ICNP 2007 15th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols Beijing, CHINA, October 16-19, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The ICNP 2007 conference will have a student poster session to showcase "work-in-progress". The poster session will provide a great chance for students to obtain feedback on ongoing research from knowledgeable conference attendees. The primary contribution (first author) must be from one or more students. Posters will be reviewed by members of the Poster Session Committee. At the con- ference, student posters must be presented by a student. Posters submitted to this call for papers should not be abbreviations of published papers. Important Dates Electronic submission address: icnp07posters(a)gmail.com Submission deadline: SEPTEMBER 7, 2007, 17:00 EDT (Hard deadline) Notification of decisions: SEPTEMBER 14, 2007 Final version of abstracts and posters: SEPTEMBER 21, 2007 (only 1 week after notification) What to submit: You need to submit a two-page abstract (font at least 11pt) describing the work. The abstract should identify the key contribution of the work being presented in the poster. In addition, it should describe the particular problem being ad- dressed, what makes this problem interesting or important, and what your approach is to the problem. Preference will be given to new and exciting problems as opposed to thorough but incremental pieces of work. We recommend that you use the ACM conference style for preparing your abstract. Include the title, authors, institutional affiliations, status (student, faculty, and so on) of each author and an email address of the contact author. In the final version of the abstract, you should also include a URL that will provide additional information about your work to the atten- dees. Your abstract should not exceed the page limit and the font size; non-conforming submissions will not be considered for re- view. Please remember that the abstract should be in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. Registration: At least one person must be registered for the conference to present the poster. Accepted posters will be published in IEEE Xplore as part of the conference proceedings of ICNP 2007. Accepted poster authors will have a chance to revise their ab- stract prior to printing. For the posters, we will provide poster board and equipment for mounting the posters. What the final poster should be like: We define a poster to be 12 pages 8.5in x11in (letter size) on which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively you can use the space as a continu- um. You can arrange the space and orient the poster either hori- zontally or vertically. You should prepare the best material (vi- sually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and im- portant about your work.
