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 We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

This is clearly evident from various emerging standards such as 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem, 3GPP2 Multi-Media Domain, ITU-T Next Generation Network, ETSI TISPAN, Packet Cable Multimedia Architecture and Multi Service Forum. All of these architectures have the following in common: (1) the service plane that transfers service information (e.g., SIP, HTTP) and manages service resources to enable advanced user services (e.g., IPTV, push-to-talk), and (2) the transport plane that delivers end-to-end user packets and manages transport resources. This architectural approach enables the service plane and the transport plane to be developed independently, and provides support for different access technologies based on fixed (twisted copper cable, coaxial cable, fiber) and wireless media. A critical component in these architectures is a logical entity that has a northbound interface to the service plane and southbound interface to the transport plane to provide the linkage between the two planes. This entity has been called by different functional names including policy server, policy decision function (PDF), policy and charging rules function (PCRF), resource and admission control function (RACF) and bandwidth manager. Although the entity also performs functions such as charging control and security control, this Feature Topic will only focus on QoS-related functions such as admission control, QoS mapping from service plane (e.g., SDP) to transport plane (e.g., DSCP marking, policing parameters, etc.), resource monitoring and resource reservation, and gate control. While the standards development organizations have been working on the protocol specifications, much work is needed in the design and performance aspects of this entity in order to provide end-to-end QoS services in a scalable manner. For example, it is of interest to have concrete designs to handle scenarios where end-to-end user packets traverse multiple domains, each of which is managed by its own PDF. Papers that are tutorial in nature are strongly recommended. Suggested areas include (but are not limited to) the following subject categories: * Overview and comparison of PDF functions in relevant standards such as ITU-NGN, ETSI TISPAN, 3GPP/3GPP2 and Packet Cable * Test beds, lab/field trials, and lessons learned from early deployment * Issues in overall QoS architectures with decoupled service and transport planes * QoS support at the service control function (IMS and non-IMS) or at the policy enforcement function * Multidomain admission control and end-to-end performance * Transport plane performance monitoring such as TRC-FE in ITU-NGN * Policy rules and policy decisions * Authorization, reservation and commitment of network resources in pull and push models * QoS mapping from service plane to transport plane * Algorithms for optimizing transport resources, service provisioning performance or other performance enhancement Schedule: Full manuscript due: March 8, 2007 (new deadline) Acceptance notification: May 15, 2007 Final manuscript due: July 1, 2007 Publication date: September 2007 Submission: Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the users needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Enabling technologies * Service and device discovery * Security and privacy * Reliability and fault tolerance * User and device localization * Resource management architecture * User data management * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Mobility and connectivity management * Cross-layer system architecture design * Human-centered Computing * Task and behavior analysis * Impact of user interface design on system design and management * Test-beds and simulations environments IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission deadline: March 23, 2007 (5PM US EST) Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2007 Camera ready version due: May 17, 2007 Workshop date: June 11, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: =============================== All paper submissions will be handled electronically.

These heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes, restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn, mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing, and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the complexity of these ambitious wireless systems. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of extreme importance to bridge the communication technologies with biological sciences and capture the analogy between these two distinct disciplines. To this end, solution strategies inspired by the biological systems have been recently proposed to address the challenges of many computing and communication systems. This special issue is dedicated to capture the state-of-the-art and the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools * Biological and bio-inspired computing, data processing algorithms * Joint bio-inspired data processing and communication * Embryonics-based fault-tolerant computing and communication * Bio-inspired network and communication algorithms and protocols * Novel applications and services inspired by biological systems * Experimental studies of bio-inspired computing and communications * Bio-inspired topology control and network reconfiguration methods * Bio-inspired localization, synchronization, mobility approaches * Evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols * Immune and self-healing network defense and information security * Bio-inspired nano-scale and molecular computing and communication * Bio-inspired distributed control and sensing of networked wearable and implantable medical devices Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective authors:Please submit the PDF of your paper, biographies and photos of the co-authors to http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc and choose Special Issue: Bio-Inspired Computing as the Article Type.

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. (Please visit <http://pernets.org/>http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * The architectural framework of personalized networks * Context awareness and support * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and accounting * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program will consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [mycolleagues] ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiOpp 2007: Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 10:15:41 +0100 Von: Marco Conti <Marco.Conti(a)iit.cnr.it> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users' communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [mycolleagues] SIGCOMM'07 IPv6 and Future Internet Workshop Datum: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 16:50:45 +0800 Von: Maoke Chen <fibrib(a)gmail.com> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br, cnom(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br Referenzen: <20070226_024011_072576.westphall(a)ig.com.br> ================================================================ Our apologies if you receive duplicated copies of this CFP ================================================================ SIGCOMM 2007 Workshop "IPv6 and the Future of the Internet" Aug 31 2007, Kyoto, Japan (Submission due: Apr 6 2007) http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2007/ipv6/ 1. Motivation and rationale for the workshop This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to engage in an in-depth discussion on various research and deployment issues of IPv6 and their impact on the future of the Internet. In recent years the global deployment of IPv6 started taking off, especially in the Asian-Pacific area. To date IPv6 development efforts have mainly focused on protocol standardization, product development, and network operations, rather than as a research target. However, we believe that the accumulated experiences in these practices now provide interesting research opportunities, not only for those who have been involved in IPv6 development but also for the broader network research community. We expect the workshop to open a dialog between networking researchers and practitioners, and foster synergistic activities thereafter. 2. Call for Paper (CFP) ACM SIGCOMM IPv6 and the Future of the Internet (IPv6+) Workshop seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of IPv6 and their relevance on the future of the Internet. IPv6 was primarily motivated by the address shortage problem of IPv4. It provides a much larger address space than IPv4. However, the competing technology Network Address Translation (NAT) has alleviated the address shortage problem to some extent, and other problems, such as routing scalability, management, mobility, and security, have become increasingly prominent. At the mean time, the global deployment of IPv6 has gradually taken off. Modern operating systems are shipped with both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks, and IPv6-compatible backbones came into existence. As it is costly to migrate from one network architecture to another one, can we take this opportunity to address additional problems in the IPv4 Internet by extending the IPv6 protocol suite? What new problems are/were encountered in the process of deploying IPv6? And what lessons have we learned? We invite submissions that shed light on the above questions. Submissions in both academic and operational flavors are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences and lessons learned from pilot deployments of IPv6 networks and applications - Experimental and measurement results from operational IPv6 networks - Advantages and challenges the very large IPv6 address space bring to the Internet routing system - Scalable and robust solutions to multi-homing and traffic engineering - Host and Network Mobility - Multicast and Anycast protocols - Worms, DoS, and other security threats in IPv6 networks and possible enhancements to address these challenges. - IPv6's Applicability to sensor networks, low-power personal area networks, and other types of challenged networks - Impact on application development and deployment - A critical assessment of IPv6's viability as a global communication infrastructure for the future or of its fundamental limitations, if any. 3. Submission guideline Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length, must be a pdf file, and must follow the formatting guidelines at http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2007/workshop-psg.html. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. 4. Workshop dates Paper submission due: April 6, 2007 Paper acceptance notification: May 11, 2007 Camera-ready due: June 8, 2007 Workshop: Aug 31, 2007 5.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Communications Feature Topic CFP Datum: Tue, 27 Feb 2007 13:23:17 +1100 Von: Abbas Jamalipour <a.jamalipour(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: Abbas Jamalipour <a.jamalipour(a)ieee.org> Dear colleagues, I would like to encourage you to submit a paper to the IEEE Communications, Feature Topic on "New Trends in Mobile Internet Technologies and Applications". Deadline for paper submissions is June 1, 2007. Below is the details of the CFP. Regards, Abbas Jamalipour ----------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on New Trends in Mobile Internet Technologies and Applications The mobile Internet technology and its related applications and services have been greatly progressed in the past few years and now we see many tiny terminals with integrated multi-function chips in the market. However, at the same time we observe a kind of separation between the technology development and the common Internet applications that the customers usually use. This had led to the underutilization of mobile device capabilities such as mobile video and mobile television that come as part of new mobile devices. While for many people using specific Internet applications would be more comfortable with large screen desktops, the mobility freedom provided by the cellular and non-cellular mobile technologies suggest closer connections to the applications should be developed so that users can receive most of their communications needs from their mobile devices. In this Feature Topic we solicit papers from respective industry and academia which demonstrate new activities on how applications become more "mobile centric". Browsing the Internet on a small screen would not be as useful and fun as one might experience on a large laptop screen. But is this really related to the screen size or due to the mismatch between the mobile and Internet technologies? Without an efficient work on this important area, we will continue using our mobile phones features for less communicative purposes (e.g. using mobile phone camera for merely taking photos). The Feature Topic covers several layers of the communication protocol stack. Having a unified URL addressing for both mobile and fixed devices for example is a topic related mainly to the application layer, while the convergence of different access network including wireless LAN and cellular 3G and beyond to accommodate sufficient data rate at all times to users is a topic covered by physical layer up to the transport layer. The other aspect of this Feature Topic is to present some novel and emerging technologies that may expand the use of advanced mobile devices including the use of these devices for example as part of a ubiquitous wireless navigation system. With the enhanced chip and battery design it is possible to think of mobile phones as sensor elements that can simplify and at the same time extend the navigation systems to terrestrial networks. Focused tutorial and survey contributions as well as research and standardization papers are solicited related to the above areas on following subject categories: " New services for broadband mobile Internet " Service characterization for mobile environment " Mobile terminal usage simplification " Mobile Internet domain in 3G/WLAN/WiMax networks " Mobile/fixed domain Internet address convergence " Mobile terminal self-recognition and adoption " Navigation service in cellular networks " Base station free mobile communications " All-in-one terminals for mobile Internet " Application-based spectrum configuration " Mobile device usage and capability expansion " Related IEEE, IETF, ITU standardization activities Paper Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles may be edited for clarity and grammatical accuracy, and will be copyedited according to the Magazine's style. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations could be allowed, provided the consent of the Guest Editor; more than three equations require permission from the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should have no more than 4,500 words, no more than 6 tables/figures, and no more than 15 references. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com). Choose "January 2008/Mobile Internet Technologies and Applications". Papers must be submitted by June 1, 2007. Accepted papers will be also included in Communications Interactive (CI), the online version of Communications Magazine. Manuscript Due June 1, 2007 Acceptance Notification September 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due November 1, 2007 Publication Date January 2008 Guest Editors Abbas Jamalipour Email: a.jamalipour(a)ieee.org Mohammed Atiquzzaman E-mail: atiq(a)ou.edu ----------------- -------------------------------------- Abbas Jamalipour, PhD Fellow IEEE, Fellow Engineers Australia, IEEE Distinguished Lecturer Editor-in-Chief, IEEE Wireless Communications --------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

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. (Please visit http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * The architectural framework of personalized networks * Context awareness and support * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and accounting * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program will consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: Advances in Wireless VoIP Datum: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 19:40:03 -0000 Von: Salkintzis Apostolis-Y1026C <salki(a)motorola.com> An: <multicomm(a)comsoc.org> Dear all, As part of our QoSIG activities, myself and Qian Zhang are organizing the special issue in IEEE Commun shown below. Your contributions are more than welcome. --- Apostolis Salkintzis, //Ph.D.// Motorola E-mail: salki(a)motorola.com <mailto:salki@motorola.com> /Call for Papers/ /IEEE Communications Magazine/ Feature Topic on *Advances in Wireless VoIP* * * Beginning as a frolic among computer enthusiasts, VoIP has managed to set off a feeding frenzy in both the industrial and scientific communities and has the potential to radically change telephone communications. Wireless VoIP in particular has been one of the hottest topics lately and has gathered considerable momentum mainly due to its potential to provide new wireless telephony experiences and tight integration with Internet services. As VoIP holds considerable appeal both from the users’ and service providers’ viewpoint, and as consumers get used to more and more fixed VoIP services, the demand to migrate these services to wireless environments is ramping up quickly. However, there are still several challenges that need to be dealt with when VoIP technologies are deployed in wireless networks. Issues such as bandwidth efficiency, scheduling and QoS, handover latency / loss in heterogeneous access networks, as well as call setup delay, resource reservation and call continuity in different environments, still raise unique technical challenges associated with wireless VoIP transmission. These issues, among others, need to be effectively handled before VoIP services become widely adapted in wireless networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Autonomics'07 in Rome - CFP Datum: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 01:00:14 -0500 Von: Jian (Neil) Tang <tang(a)cs.montana.edu> An: tccc <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ***** AUTONOMICS ***** First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics-conference.eu/ 28-30 October 2007, Rome (Italy) In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics?7 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: April 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2007 Final version due: September 5, 2007 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [mycolleagues] CFP-IEEE ICAC Workshop QoS in Autonomic Communication Networks 2006 Datum: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 11:26:57 +0000 Von: Ricardo Lent <r.lent(a)imperial.ac.uk> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ======================================================================== Call for Papers - IEEE ICAC Workshop QoS in Autonomic Communication Networks 2006 Jacksonville, Florida, USA Paper submissions: Mar 20, 2007 Conference: June 11-15, 2007 ======================================================================== ICAC is organising a special workshop on the increasingly significant field of autonomic communication networks (ACN). ACN are self-aware systems that promise clear advantages to users and network providers over previous technologies and may change the way we think about the design, management and use of communication networks. With ACN, users could benefit from reliable and dynamically adaptable communication networks with minimal effort in configuration and operation, which could in turn dramatically reduce costs of operation and management of communication infrastructures. A significant requirement for such systems is the ability to maintain a desired degree of quality of service despite their dynamic nature. ACN are novel systems and their design and study are complex activities with many challenges and open questions to be properly addressed. The workshop will encourage the interaction among researchers in the field and will promote the exchange of ideas. We welcome original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of ACN, including, but not limited to the following: - Provision of quality of service in autonomic communications - Self-maintained and self-configurable communications - Self-protecting communication networks and computer networks - Monitoring and self-managing in ACN - QoS in autonomic mobile ad-hoc networks - Evaluation and demonstration tools: analytical models, simulators, network test-beds, libraries, middleware, etc. - Software engineering techniques and best practices for developing autonomic networks - Performance analysis of ACN - Balancing of desired properties, e.g. self-adaptation Vs. self-protection and experimental evaluation measurements - Interaction of autonomic networking systems with legacy Networking protocols - Applications of autonomic networks to the creation of new services (grid computing, pervasive computing, etc.) Paper length should be limited to 15 pages double-column in IEEE format. You can download the template for latex here or here. High quality submissions will be considered and evaluated for publication in a premier journal.

The main goal of the EUNICE Summer School is to give researchers and particularly Ph.D. students the opportunity to present their work at an international level. In addition to the research paper presentations, a number of tutorials or invited talks, presented by experts in the field, will be given. Call for Contributions ---------------------- One of the main challenges in the next decade will be to make the Internet and the services that are provided on top of it more dependable and adaptable. Research on these themes is needed for fixed, wireless and ad-hoc networking, ubiquitous communication and computing, sensor networks, and context-awareness. While individual mobile applications with context-aware and personalize features emerged, at the same time many challenges for network and service architectures were imposed concerning integration, interoperability, management, provisioning, reliability and security. On the one hand research has to build up a sound understanding of these applications and their supporting service and network architectures. On the other hand, the service and network infrastructure needs to be able to provide the necessary quality of service for the envisioned applications. Although the EUNICE summer school is open to researchers from any institution, we particularly invite PhD students from EUNICE member institutes and from European Network of Excellence projects in this field, such as EMANICS and Euro-NGI to contribute with original submissions. The topics of interest include: - Middleware for mobile and pervasive computing - Context awareness and personalized services - Service discovery, mediation and composition - Security, trust, access control and authorization in ubiquitous computing - Adaptive applications and architectures - Service oriented architectures, web services and semantic web - Service technologies and platforms - Service design and creation methodologies - Self-organizing networks and service infrastructures - Management models and architectures - Network and service provisioning, reliability and quality assurance - Management technologies and platforms - Wireless and mobile computing - Peer to peer networks and applications' - Ad-hoc and personal networks - Business integration and service architectures - Business-software alignment and traceability Types of Contribution and Submission Guidelines ----------------------------------------------- Regular Contributions: Authors are invited to submit original papers, which will be reviewed for presentation and publication in the proceedings of the Summer School. Submission details, including an author kit, are available at: http://www.ctit.utwente.nl/eunice2007.

Middleware is distributed-systems software that resides between the applications and the underlying operating systems, network protocol stacks, and hardware. Its primary role is to functionally bridge the gap between application programs and the lower-level hardware and software infrastructure in order to coordinate how application components are connected and how they interoperate. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 8th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research and technology in 2007. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed system platforms and architectures for future computing and communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality technical program, invited speakers, poster and demo presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops. Submissions on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly ones that identify new research directions. Middleware 2007 is not limited to topics discussed in previous Middleware conferences. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic may communicate by electronic mail with the program chairs prior to submission. The proceedings of Middleware 2007 will be published as a Springer-Verlag volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series.
