-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Iscc] ACM/SIGMOBILE MOBIOPP 2007: Deadline Extension Datum: Wed, 07 Mar 2007 12:38:49 +0100 Von: Chiara Boldrini <mobiopp(a)iit.cnr.it> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO ***** MARCH 15, 2007 (11:59pm PST) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.

In persistent online worlds, peer actions and event changes have cumulative effects that are consequential to individuals, whether or not they are available, just as in real life. But unlike real life, where we have plenty of tools to help us juggle multiple responsibilities, access into virtual worlds today occurs through a single access point; active participation requires a significant stationary commitment. Even the most dedicated users have difficulty keeping up with the dynamic information. To remain active and included, users need better ways to communicate, cooperate, and coordinate. Transmedial access, in which players¹ access to a game and their characters/data is made possible across different devices, offers a promising solution to this problem. It also inaugurates a new category of interaction design: transmedial interaction. This workshop explores the state of the art of transmedial interaction in games, which today unfortunately is often at most mere afterthought. It provides a participatory environment in which attendees can chart new paths forward, from developing viable business models and understanding the technical infrastructure to developing critical vocabularies and evaluative frameworks. The workshop is intended for a broad audience, which will collaboratively achieve the following: * Review current state-of-the-art examples of transmedia interactions in entertainment computing, especially video games * Survey the technical infrastructure needed for transmedia interactions in digital games (e.g., feedback, adaptivity, etc.) * Understand how the strength and weakness of different media channels shape player experiences during transmedia interactions * Construct design guidelines for transmedial interactions and determine the components needed for successful and seamless transmedial interaction design * Consider evaluation criteria for transmedial interactions [Submission] We encourage participation from diverse academic disciplines including design, HCI, computer science,, media and game studies, strategic communications, and psychology, as well as industry experts and practitioners, for a total of 15-20 people. Specifically, this workshop will create a synergy among the following target audiences: * Online and mobile game designers interested in developing appropriate mechanisms to overcome the difficulty of designing for multiple media channels and cross-media experiences * Interaction designers and researchers interested in human-human and human-machine interactions across devices, including mobile and ubiquitous computing * Gaming industry pioneers interested in the exploration of novel ways to extend and integrate different media channels¹ capacities to create cross-device and cross-network experiences for their target customers * Entertainment computing marketers interested in identifying key challenges and solutions in promoting transmedial experiences Participants will be selected based on 2-4 page position papers that address workshop goals.

The abstracts are due on March 5th, 2007. Thanks Nasir Ghani Byrav Ramamurthy TPC Co-chairs, High-Speed Networks Workshop ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR ABSTRACTS IEEE INFOCOM 2007 HIGH-SPEED NETWORKS WORKSHOP ============================================== Anchorage, Alaska, May 11th, 2007 http://iweb.tntech.edu/nghani/infocom/index.htm Sponsored by ------------ United States Department of Energy, Office of Science Technical Co-Sponsorship by --------------------------- IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking (TCHSN) IEEE ComSoc Optical Networking Technical Committee (ONTC) Several e-Science applications have already demonstrated the need for agile networks operating well beyond 100 Gbps. Moreover, current trends point towards the need for a sustained terabits/sec end-to-end throughput and unprecedented levels of scalability to accommodate the requirements of emerging applications in a broad range of domains, including entertainment, computational monitoring and steering, multi-scale simulation and combustion modeling, remote instrumentation, and network-based visualization. Several attempts have been made to address emergent bandwidth needs by deploying larger capacities in the network core. Increasing physical-layer transmission speeds, however, has not yielded dramatic increases in end-to-end user-level throughputs. Moreover, the limitations of current network protocols and traffic engineering frameworks have proven to be a serious impediment to large-scale deployment of distributed bandwidth-intensive applications. To overcome these limitations, there is a critical need for novel "clean-state" approaches which transcend the traditional methodologies, network architectures and protocols used today . This workshop is designed to provide a unique forum to explore new frontiers in the area of ultra high-speed and high-performance networks, not constrained by the features and limitations of current networks, with a particular focus on enabling large-scale distributed e-Science applications. The objective is to facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas among members research community centered on the design, validation and deployment of ultra-high speed network architectures and protocols to support the end-to-end requirements of bandwidth-intensive applications in a transparent and optimal manner. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Innovative "clean-slate" network architectures for next generation ultra-high speed networks * Switching technologies including packet, burst and circuit switching * Ultra high-speed transport protocols * Novel approaches and strategies for highly secure ultra-high speed networks, protocols and systems * Dynamic provisioning in ultra high-speed optical networks * Control and signaling plane technologies (GMPLS, UNI, NNI, etc.) * Application optimized network middleware * Novel protocols and mechanisms for large-volume data transfers over long distances * High-speed I/O and storage systems * Remote visualizations and instrumentation design and tools * Remote computational monitoring and steering tools and mechanisms Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract in PDF format. All abstract submissions should be emailed to the TPC co-chairs at nghani(a)tntech.edu and byrav(a)cse.unl.edu and will be acknowledged. Authors will be notified about the selected abstracts and requested to provide final presentation slides and extended paper versions (up to 5 pages in length). These materials will be compiled on to CD format in advance of the event and distributed to the registered attendees. Additionally, the extended papers will also be published in the IEEE Xplore listings.

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.

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.

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.
