IMS is also driving the notion of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) by merging the fixed and mobile telecommunication networks with the Internet and the adoption of IP technologies within the telecom domain. Although we can witness the availability of international standards for NGN/IMS signaling, management solutions of this converging technology domain are not yet standardized Thus the global introduction of IMS platforms in fixed and mobile networks and provision of related IMS applications is challenged today by the questions around management issues. In this special issue we would like to identify the challenges in IMS system and service management and to provide a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in IMS management standards and related solutions development and deployment around the world. We are soliciting papers covering a variety of topics that include: * State of the art in NGN / IMS management standardisation * Experiences / Best practices in IMS management from IMS trials and early deployments * Fault and Performance Management of IMS Core Systems / IMS Network Element Management * IMS services management * Management of IMS service enablers / service orchestration management * Managing 3rd party applications and application servers in IMS * Dynamic service provisioning in IMS * IMS End System Software Management / Device Management * Multidomain management aspects for interconnected IMS Systems * End-to End Policy-based QoS Management in NGNs * Security management issues in IMS * Charging and accounting management issues in IMS * Push 2 Talk management issues * FMC - Management in converging networks and of seamless services * Management of IMS Subscriber Data / User Profiles * Customer self management in IMS * ID Management in IMS / Single sign on Papers should be of tutorial nature and contain state-of-the-art research and development materials.

[Fwd: [OC-ML] Call for papers: Special issue on OC, ACM TAAS]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [OC-ML] Call for papers: Special issue on OC, ACM TAAS Datum: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 09:56:20 +0200 (CEST) Von: Fabian Rochner <rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de> An: rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de Dear subscribers of the Organic Computing Mailinglist, below you can find the call for papers for the special issue on Organic Computing in the ACM transactions on autonomous and adaptive systems (TAAS). The submission deadline is approximately a month away. Please feel free to forward this cfp to any other colleagues, mailing lists, or intelligent agents you think might be interested. For more details, you may also visit the website: http://www.acm.org/pubs/taas/ Regards Fabian Rochner P.S.: Deadline for submissions to the special session on OC at CEC 2007, Singapore, is tomorrow, Saturday, March 31. Details: www.organic-computing.de/cec07 =================================================== ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems Special Issue on Organic Computing =================================================== SCOPE ----- Organic Computing (OC) has emerged recently as a challenging vision for future information processing systems, based on the insight that we will soon be surrounded by systems with massive numbers of processing elements, sensors and actuators. Because of the size of these systems it is infeasible for us to monitor and control them entirely from external observations; instead they will need to help us monitor, control and adapt themselves. To do so, these components will need to be aware of their environment, to communicate freely, and to organize themselves in order to perform the actions and services that are required. The presence of such networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens up fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct these systems as robust, safe, and trustworthy as possible. In order to achieve all these goals, our computing systems will have to act more independently, flexibly, and autonomously. Thus, we are interested in new analytic methods and architectures underlying complex systems. In OC, we put an emphasis on systems that exhibit "life-like" properties, such as being self-organizing, self-configuring, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware. The vision of OC and its fundamental concepts arose independently in different research areas like Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Computer Science & Engineering. In this special issue, we welcome contributions from all these areas to OC. We seek theoretical as well as carefully evaluated practical papers dealing with complex computing systems that * adapt dynamically to the current conditions of their environments, * exhibit "self-x" properties as described above, and * are partly inspired by biological information processing principles. For more information on OC see: * OC Page: http://www.organic-computing.org * DFG research program OC: http://www.organic-computing.de/SPP * IEEE OC Task Force: http://www.neuroinformatik.rub.de/thbio/project/oc ACM TAAS -------- ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) is a venue for high quality research contributions addressing foundational, engineering, and technological aspects of complex computing systems exhibiting autonomous and adaptive behavior. TAAS encourages contributions advancing the state of the art in the understanding, development, and control of such systems. For more information, please follow the link: http://www.acm.org/pubs/taas REVIEW & SUBMISSION PROCESS --------------------------- Manuscripts will first be screened for topical relevance, and those that pass the screening process will undergo a full review procedure according to the standards of TAAS. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a preliminary single page abstract by February 16, 2007. This will help in planning an efficient review process and providing initial feedback to the prospective authors. The manuscripts should be formatted according to the ACM TAAS guidelines available from the journal homepage and submitted to: mailto:octf@neuroinformatik.rub.de GUEST EDITORIAL TEAM -------------------- * Kirstie L.

In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas (for example, a multi-disciplinary program on sensors and sensor networks was launched in 2003 at the US National Science Foundation) and research activities are booming recently. This workshop concentrates on network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting * Geocasting and anycasting * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Sensor area coverage problems * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: April 30, 2007 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2007 Workshop Date: October 12, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

Self-organization will enhance flexibility and evolvability of organically growing, large-scale distributed systems. Driven by randomness and feedback, the relation between cause and effect of these systems may appear chaotic: minor causes may have severe impact, whereas seemingly major causes may only have a small effect. Traditional mathematical models tend to be linear and, thus, are not suitable to model such chaotic systems. Models to be developed should be simple to remain scalable to the huge number of entities in the systems under investigation and to be generally applicable. Following PMSOS 2006, we again aim to investigate the methodology for modeling and evaluating the performance and reliability of complex self-organizing systems at the edge of chaos. To this end, this meeting once more brings together leading national and international experts and creates a forum for knowledge exchange. IMPORTANT DATES * Ext. abstracts / paper submission deadline: May 21st 2007 * Notification of acceptance: June 11th 2007 * Camera ready papers due: June 25th 2007 * Registration due: June 29th 2007 * Meeting date: July 13th 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION The submitted extended abstracts, short papers, and full papers will be reviewed and published in form of a Technical Report.

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. One tool that provides means for this demand is the concept of mathematical modeling. This PIK special issue aims at giving a survey on the topic of self-organization and mathematical modeling techniques that are capable of modeling self-organizing behavior. PROPOSED TOPICS * Essential properties of self-organizing systems * Modeling of self-* properties, such as self-organization, self-management, self-adaptation/-configuration, self-monitoring/-diagnosis, self-tuning/-optimization, self- protection, and self-repair/-healing * Metrics for evaluating self-* properties * Formal and mathematical models of self-organizing and complex systems * Observing self-organized criticality with the help of formal/mathematical models * Tools, test beds, and simulations capable of evaluating self- organizing systems * Performance, QoS, dependability, reliability, and availability modeling of self-organizing systems * Mathematical optimization of self-organizing systems * Security and fault-tolerance models for self-organizing systems * Modeling of emergent behavior * Design and construction of self-organizing systems * Control theory for self-organizing systems Modeling the (un-)controllability of self-organizing or emergent systems * Abstracting from self-organization and complexity * Scalability of complex model evaluation IMPORTANT DATES * Paper submission: August 19th, 2007 * Notification of acceptance: October 21st, 2007 * Camera ready papers due: November 11th, 2007 AUTHOR INFORMATION Submissions of both technical papers and project reports in English or German are welcome.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd IEEE Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications Environments (MACE 2007) Datum: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 11:47:40 +0100 Von: Brendan Jennings <bjennings(a)tssg.org> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies for cross postings. ______________________________________________________________________ 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications Environments (MACE 2007) San José, California, USA October 29-30th 2007 Held as part of Manweek 2007 - http://www.manweek.org ______________________________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications Environments (MACE 2007) will be held from October 29-30th 2007 in San José, California, USA. The workshop will be technically sponsored (confirmation pending) by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). As part of Manweek 2007 MACE will be co-located with four other events: the 10th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS 2007); the 7th IEEE Workshop on IP Operations and Management (IPOM 2007); the 18th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management (DSOM 2007); and the 1st IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Virtualization Grid Networking and Management (EVGM 2007). The MACE workshop aims to promote the realisation of Autonomic Communications Environments (ACEs) - service-centric environments exhibiting self-governing behaviour. Within an ACE, services will be created that are self-aware and self-healing. In their deployment, they will be self-adapting, self-optimising and self-configuring; and in operation they will be self-protecting, self-managing and self-composing. These features will enable ACE services to adapt to changing business needs and environmental conditions without manual intervention. Realisation of this vision represents a significant challenge for the networking and computer science research communities, requiring advances in disparate areas ranging, for example, from software modeling to network security, and from machine learning to performance optimisation. MACE 2007 will bring together researchers from academia and industry in a workshop setting in which research challenges can be identified, ideas for potential solutions exchanged, and research results discussed. Topics of interest for paper submission include, but are not limited to: - Advances in Modelling and Meta-Modelling; - Governance Models (incl. Policy-based Management); - Methodologies (incl. Lifecycle, Behaviour, Design by Contract); - Mathematical Models of Autonomic Systems and ACEs; - Biology-inspired Techniques and Algorithms; - Sociology-inspired Techniques and Algorithms; - Model and Language Driven Development (incl. UML and code generation techniques); - Intelligent Service Negotiation, Composition, and Security; - Tool, Simulation and Testbed support for Autonomic Systems and ACEs; - Testing and Validation Processes; - Managing and Handling Context: Sensing, Inferring, and Application; - Autonomic Wireless Access and Seamless Mobility; - Machine Learning, Reasoning, and Inference Techniques; - Algorithms and Processes for Network Robustness and Performance; - Evolving industry standards to facilitate ACEs. PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Submission of late-breaking results and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research is encouraged. Papers that are published, or concurrently submitted to another journal, conference, or book should not be submitted. The Proceedings will be published in the Multicon Lecture Notes series. Papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs, and should not exceed 15 pages in length. Papers must be submitted in PDF format via http://jems.sbc.org.br/mace2007.

Workshop URL ------------ http://www.iwsos.org/2007 Sponsorship ----------- Sponsorship of IWSOS 2007 is kindly provided by the following partners: ACM - http://www.acm.org - (Pending) CONTENT - (Pending) EuroNGI - http://eurongi.enst.fr/ IEEE - http://www.ieee.org - (Pending) IFIP - http://www.ifip.org Workshop scope -------------- Future networked systems will, to some degree, need to be self-organizing. For example, they will be deployed in remote and hostile environments, where manual setup and configuration may be undesirable or impossible. Some networks, such as mobile ad-hoc networks, will be spontaneously deployed, have a dynamic population, and may be short-lived. The time it takes traditional management activities to converge, where people are in the control loop, is unsuitably long for these kinds of network. Furthermore, the potential scale and complexity of future networked systems, including the future Internet, will make some form of self-organization highly desirable and perhaps a necessity. The complexity of these networked systems will come from the heterogeneity of the devices, communication technologies and protocols, and stringent user requirements (e.g. resilience) that they will need to support. Research into self-organizing networked systems is in its infancy, and there is a multitude of open issues to be addressed. For example, self-organization will need to be implemented in a decentralized way for scalability and resilience reasons; approaches to achieve this will need to be found. The controllability and also the emergent behavior of self-organizing systems will need to be addressed. It is probable that programmable networking technologies will be needed to support the dynamic behavior of self-organizing systems; what shape this programmability will take and how it can be deployed in a safe way will need to be investigated. We should also try to understand how self-organization can play a key architectural role in the future Internet for enhanced flexibility and evolvability amongst its other desirable properties. Building on the success of its predecessor, and now only in its second year, this workshop aims to bring together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization and the means to achieve it.

Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc networks will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. A high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia, VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, and VANET 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, the Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) will be held in Montréal, QC, Canada September 14, 2007, in conjunction with MobiCom 2007. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Safety and non-safety applications - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Communication protocol design - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds VANET present a highly active field of research, development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include the consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe) and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2007 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/.
