-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mission- and bUsiness-critical mobile Systems (ADAMUS'07) Datum: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 15:53:38 +0100 Von: Luca Foschini <lfoschini(a)deis.unibo.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers ____________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: First IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mission- and bUsiness-critical mobile Systems ADAMUS 2007 In conjunction with the 8th Int. Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM'07) Helsinki, Finland, 18th June, 2007 ( WoWMoM web site : http://ieee-wowmom.tml.hut.fi/ ADAMUS web site : http://www.mobilab.unina.it/ADAMUS/ ADAMUS'07 cfp pdf : http://www.mobilab.unina.it/ADAMUS/CFP_adamus07.pdf) WORKSHOP SCOPE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A truly extended use of mobile computing technologies asks for effective software engineering techniques to design, develop and maintain mission- and business-critical applications over mobile environments. In recent years, we witnessed an increasing demand for mission- and business-critical applications over mobile environments. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and environments, a variety of research studies have produced a plethora of methods and proof-of-concept prototypes for supporting non-critical applications. However, it is still unclear whether current technologies, methods, and solutions can satisfy the challenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emerging mobile mission- and business- critical systems and applications, such as mobile commerce, wireless control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance. To be effective, these applications must endorse provisions that allow them to continue the optimal distribution of their service despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or faults in their infrastructure and the surrounding environment. Hence, it is becoming increasingly important: to devise conceptual models and paradigms able to mange and to express strategies and provisions for change tolerance and for cross-layer adaptation; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop adaptive and dependable systems; to provide analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop design-/run-time solutions to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security. The main goal of this first workshop is that of fostering exchange of ideas and lively discussions to reduce the gap between research achievements and industrial applications in the field of adaptive and dependable mission- and business- critical mobile systems and applications. Researchers and practitioners from the academia and the industry are encouraged to participate. High quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable mission- and business-critical applications over mobile environments are solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Dependability and real-time adaptation requirements for mobile systems * Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services * Design principles, models, and tools for adaptive mobile systems * Mobile-enabled middleware for heterogeneous wireless networks * Middleware support for adaptation and dependability * Context data provisioning and modelling * Context-based adaptive infrastructures * Human-machine interaction and usability * Multi-device systems * Integration of heterogeneous software platforms and operating systems * Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation * Cross-layer adaptation * Software dependability in multimedia systems over wireless media * Group communication and group membership services * QoS control and component scheduling PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADAMUS 2007 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE proceedings style. All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://www.mobilab.unina.it/ADAMUS/). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper.

UbiComp 2007 invites original, high-quality research papers in the areas of ubiquitous, mobile, embedded, and handheld computing. The conference provides a forum for original research that enables new capabilities, appropriate security and privacy, improved user experiences, and simplified and powerful development and deployment practices. In addition, we are interested in studies of existing and emerging technologies, everyday use of technologies, and insightful commentary on the state of the field. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers on the following topics: • Inferring the state of the user, such as location, activity, intentions, resources, and capabilities in the past, present, and future • Developing ubicomp systems, including representations, architecture, middleware, resource management, and service discovery • Embedding computation for new user interfaces, assistive technologies, communication, novel sensors, intelligent environments, wearable computing, and continuous monitoring and actuation • Building ubicomp systems for health, gaming, socializing, and other applications • Ensuring user trust through privacy and security • Understanding ubicomp and its consequences through conceptual models, hard-won experience, user studies, business scenarios, and real deployments UbiComp has a history of being a very selective conference, and there is no desire to reduce expectations on quality. In an effort to enhance the breadth of the conference, we aim to increase the number of accepted full papers to approximately 40 for this year, which is up from 30 last year and 22 the year before. Presentations will be scheduled in a dualtrack format. The conference will institute a process for nominating and selecting awards for best paper and presentations at the conference. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee and by selected expert reviewers. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of contribution, technical correctness, overall appeal to the general UbiComp reader, and presentation. Papers submitted must not have been previously published nor currently under review for any publication with an ISBN, ISSN, or DOI number. If submitted work may appear to overlap with the authors’ previous work, the authors should email the PC chairs [2] directly to explain how the new work is different. All reviewers will be instructed to keep submissions confidential, although submissions must be publishable by the cameraready deadline. Accepted papers will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), and all submissions should be formatted according to their guidelines [3]. Misformatted submissions, or those longer than 18 pages, are subject to rejection without review. Shorter submissions will not be penalized, and each submission’s length should be appropriate for its content. One author from each accepted paper will be required to attend the conference to present their work. Paper submissions must be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors are encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize references that may reveal the identity of the authors or their institutions.

November 2006* FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS TERENA Networking Conference 2007 21 - 24 May Lyngby, Denmark Visible Services - Transparent Networks The TERENA Networking Conference 2007 is organised by the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association and hosted by UNI-C, the Danish IT centre for education and research. The conference will be held at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby, a vibrant university town just north of Copenhagen. Transportation will be provided between Lyngby and the city of Copenhagen where most of the hotels and social events are located. TERENA Networking Conferences are well-established events focusing on new directions, trends and technology. The conference brings together leading figures from research, management, industry and governance to present and discuss the technical and strategic aspects of the provision of networks and services to the research and education community. In the modern world the availability of fresh water, gas and electricity in our homes is taken for granted to such an extent that we rarely have to think about the underlying infrastructure. As the exchange of information and networked service becomes more pervasive and integrated into every aspect of our lives, it is important that this infrastructure acquires the same degree of transparency. The underlying network infrastructure needs to become more transparent, so that we can focus all of our attention on providing applications that deliver high quality services that are easy and intuitive to use. In this way it should be possible to raise the visibility of services above that of the supporting technology. It is my pleasure to invite you to bring your experiences, ideas and results to TNC 2007 and share them with colleagues from the international research and education networking community. Thomas C. Schmidt Programme Committee Chair CONFERENCE TOPICS Extended abstracts (rather than full papers) are invited on all subjects relevant to the spirit and objectives of the conference: to present, discuss and learn about the latest developments in networking technology for the research and education community and their use by the community. The topics below are an indication of the planned scope of the conference, but are not meant to be restrictive. VISIBLE SERVICES * Connecting Users - voice over IP, videoconferencing, streaming and immersive environments * Protecting Users - user privacy, legislative issues and policies, delegations and spam fighting * Enabling Users - bandwidth-on-demand, mobility and roaming, identity management, federations and location-based services * Novel Uses - e-science, e-arts/humanities, environmental monitoring, advanced and mobile Web technologies and content networks TRANSPARENT NETWORKS * Quality Infrastructure - quality of service, measurement and monitoring, high-speed/optical networks and service management * Protecting the Infrastructure - redundancy, intrusion detection and prevention and security design * Beyond the Infrastructure - autonomous networks, peer-to-peer, mobile ad hoc networks, overlays, storage and sensor networks * Getting to the Infrastructure - access networks, bridging the gap on campus and advanced mobile technologies Extended abstracts of 600 - 1200 words (rather than full papers) can be submitted via the drop box at: http://tnc2007.terena.nl/submit/ The deadline for submission is *30 November 2006* and authors should follow the submission and formatting instructions for extended abstracts.

The fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications is expected to support such applications and to enable ubiquitous access to multimedia information and remote computing services regardless of location or mobility while integrating these different wireless technologies. Network convergence, through the co-existence and the interoperability between heterogeneous wireless networks, is therefore regarded as the major challenge in the integration of systems used in numerous applications. In this Workshop we are especially interested in innovative applications and protocols to be adopted in a more secure heterogeneous wireless networks environment. The objective of this workshop is therefore to provide an eSafety forum for researchers and technologists. It aims to bring them together to discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and to present their contributions as technical papers related to the convergence of heterogeneous wireless networks towards real time safety applications through the intelligent control of mobile systems. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit theoretical and experimental results on topics of interest included but not limited to the following: * Physical layer issues for the convergence of heterogeneous wireless technologies * Efficient mobility and handoff management protocols for seamless roaming within the converged communication architecture * Resource management and allocation * Power control management * Admission, load and flow control * Performance analysis and experimentation of heterogeneous wireless networks * Security techniques and methods for heterogeneous wireless networks * Energy efficient medium access control, error control, and traffic management protocols * QoS in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks * Security, authentication, and billing solutions for the converged architecture * Interoperability among WLANs, Cellular, WSN and wired networks * Novel and adaptive communication protocols at all layers, i.e., MAC layer problems, routing, reliable and multimedia transport, for integration of diverse wireless systems * Simulation study of heterogeneous wireless networks * eSafety applications and measurements (Telemedicine solutions to healthcare problems, intelligent vehicles and driver assistance systems.) in Heterogeneous wireless networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP IEEE Communications Magazine Peer-to-Peer Multimedia Streaming - extended deadline Datum: Thu, 2 Nov 2006 14:27:06 -0200 (BRST) Von: nfonseca(a)ic.unicamp.br An: multicomm(a)comsoc.org CC: nfonseca(a)ic.unicamp.br Call for Papers - IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Peer-to-Peer Multimedia Streaming In recent years, peer-to-peer (p2p) multimedia streaming has aroused much interest both in research communities and in industries. By allowing peers serving each other in the network, p2p technology overcomes many limitations in traditional client-server paradigm to achieve user and bandwidth scalabilities. It has been shown that performance of a properly-designed p2p network actually improves, rather than deteriorates, with the increase of population size. Peer-to-Peer technology is promising for large content distribution as demonstrated by a number of proof-of-concept prototypes in both academia and companies. In a p2p multimedia streaming system, multimedia contents are delivered to a large pool of distributed users with low delay, high quality and high robustness. Fueled by advances in networking and compression technologies, p2p multimedia streaming has experienced much initial deployment success for applications such as Internet TV (IPTV), video conferencing, and surveillance. It is the key to address the emerging needs of large-scale digital IPTV, interactive videos, interactive games and other next-generation broadcast-based or personalized multimedia services. A scalable peer-to-peer multimedia system should support many hosts, possibly in excess of hundreds or even millions, with diverse heterogeneity in bandwidth, capability, storage, network, and mobility. It should also be able to support various applications under dynamic user arrival and departure, frequent host failures and unavailability, and unpredictable user behaviors, network traffic and congestion. In a p2p streaming networks, users should be able to share, search, and access contents in a distributed and efficient manner. To achieve these goals, it is particularly important to address the challenges in architecture design, network/transport support, resource discovery and content delivery mechanisms. Scope of Contributions This feature issue is devoted to original surveys and tutorials on these emerging issues in P2P streaming. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished original articles that are not under review in any other conference or journal. Topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: Peer-to-peer media distribution, systems and infrastructures Novel peer-to-peer streaming applications and services Overlay networks and application-level multicast for media streaming Robustness in peer-to-peer streaming networks Scalability, reliability, accessibility, manageability, and availability for P2P streaming systems Resource discovery and location in peer-to-peer streaming Performance measurement and monitoring of peer-to-peer streaming systems Deployment experience and application of peer-to-peer media distribution systems Peer-to-peer streaming prototypes and their implementation Reputation, trust and incentives in peer-to-peer streaming systems Peer-to-peer based content distribution Business models for P2P media distribution Mobile P2P streaming Schedule Submission Deadline: November 15th, 2006 <=========== Acceptance Notification: February 15th, 2007 Final Manuscript: April 1st, 2007 Publication date : June, 2007 Submission of Papers For manuscript submission, the authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines under "Information for Authors" at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Wireless Communications Magazine special Issue CFP on MAC Protocols for Wireless LANs]
by Lars Wolf 01 Nov '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wireless Communications Magazine special Issue CFP on MAC Protocols for Wireless LANs Datum: Wed, 01 Nov 2006 11:29:50 +0200 Von: Nicopolitidis Petros <petros(a)csd.auth.gr> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless LANs" The field of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) is experiencing a tremendous growth in the last years. One of the key points is the design of performance-efficient WLANs. However, there are fundamental differences between wireless and wired LANs that pose difficulties in the design of medium-access control (MAC) protocols for WLANs. WLANs utilize wireless transmission for information exchange, which is characterized by bit-error rates (BER) having an order of magnitude even up to ten orders of the magnitude of wired transmission. Furthermore, in WLANs, errors occur in bursts. Moreover, a fully connected topology between the nodes of a WLAN cannot be assumed due to the inherent mobility of WLAN nodes. Thus, WLANs are characterized by unreliable links between nodes, resulting in bursts of errors and dynamically changing network topologies. These problems obviously impact both the performance of a WLAN and its ability to support QoS applications. Desired properties for a WLAN MAC that have been identified in the literature include the following: * Throughput. The capacity of WLANs should ideally approach that of their wired counterparts. This should be done by efficiently utilizing the scarce spectrum resource. * Dynamic topology. In a WLAN, fully connected topologies cannot be assumed. A WLAN MAC should take this issue into consideration. * Number of nodes. WLANs often need to support tens or hundreds of nodes. Therefore the WLAN MAC should pose no limit to the network's maximum number of nodes. * Interference and Reliability. Interference, (due to collisions, "hidden terminal" problem, collocated network operation or wireless medium unreliability) should not degrade the reliability of data transport. * Robustness-Security. In a WLAN, the transmission range of a station cannot be confided in a certain geographical area. Thus, WLANs are more prone to security attacks and eavesdropping. This should be taken into account by the MAC. * Power Consumption. Wireless devices are power-limited as they are typically battery powered. Therefore, energy-efficient MACs are desirable. This may result in a tradeoff between performance and energy efficiency. * Quality of Service. In today’s wireless networks, there is a great need for QoS, because of the time-bounded voice, audio and video traffic, which have to be efficiently transmitted along with the traditional data traffic. This special issue aims at providing a timely and concise, tutorial-oriented reference of the current activities and new findings in the field of WLAN MACs. In this context, papers are solicited reporting on representative topics regarding new and innovative MAC protocols. Such protocols should not be based upon or improve already proposed work (especially the work addressing the IEEE 802.11 MAC), but should constitute an advancement by widening the field of eligible MAC protocols for future WLANs. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following list: * MAC for multimedia applications over WLANs * Energy efficient WLAN MACs * WLAN MACs with QoS support * Adaptive WLAN MACs * Power controlled WLAN MACs * Directional/adaptive antenna WLAN MACs * MACs for multihop WLANs * Standardization activities * Performance studies of WLAN MACs. Submitted papers, which should not be considered elsewhere for publication, should be of tutorial in nature and the authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts. For further details, potential authors should refer to "Information for Authors" in IEEE Wireless Communications website at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html. Papers should have no more than 4500 words, a total of 6 figures and tables, 15 references and 3 simple equations.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [e-next] E-NEXT.members: IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic Wireless AccesS (IWAS07) - CFP Datum: Fri, 27 Oct 2006 18:20:04 +0300 Von: Raimo Kantola <Raimo.Kantola(a)hut.fi> An: members <members(a)ist-e-next.net> Dear Friends, TKK jointly with Nokia (et al) and UC Dublin organise ****************************************************** * IWAS07 Call For Papers * 1st IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic Wireless AccesS (IWAS07) * in conjunction with WoWMoM 2007, Helsinki. * June 17th, 2007 *************************************************************** IWAS 2007 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards autonomic control and management of future wireless access networks and systems. Access network devices and wireless terminals are becoming more and more complex, and they include support for multiple wireless technologies. Access networks are dynamically optimized for applications under different conditions, and service performance is affected by a large number of parameters and control algorithms. From the end users perspective, however, multi-access networks are desirable only if they do not deteriorate the quality of experience. It is therefore of vital interest to operators and vendors to minimize operational effort and cost and add intelligence to terminals, network elements and management tools through the adoption of Autonomic Communications and Computing (ACC) principles for self-configuring and self-optimizing access systems. The full CFP and other info is available at the WS site: http://www.netlab.tkk.fi/IWAS2007/ Important dates: * Full paper submission: January 20th 2007 * Notification of acceptance: March 3rd 2007 * Final papers due: March 24th 2007 Raimo Kantola -- Professor of Communications Technology Networking Laboratory Department of Electrical and Communications Engineering Helsinki University of Technology tel. +358-9-451 2471 or +358-40-750 1636, fax +358-9-451 2474 http://www.netlab.hut.fi/u/kantola +++ Posted to members-istenext by Raimo Kantola <Raimo.Kantola(a)hut.fi> +++ -- !!

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting (SOSP'07 Call for Papers) Datum: Fri, 27 Oct 2006 05:37:37 -0700 Von: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> Antwort an: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> An: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG 21st ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles October 14-17, 2007 Skamania Lodge Stevenson, WA www.sosp2007.org General chair Thomas C. Bressoud, Denison University bressoud(a)denison.edu, (740) 587-5630 Program chair M. Frans Kaashoek, MIT kaashoek(a)csail.mit.edu Sponsored by ACM SIGOPS Authors are invited to submit papers to the 21st SOSP reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of operating systems. We seek submissions of high quality that significantly further the knowledge and understanding of the systems community. In keeping with SOSP tradition, we will favor work that explores new territory, continues a significant research dialog, or reflects on experience with practical applications of the community's knowledge. Papers of particular merit will be forwarded to ACM Transactions on Computer Systems for possible publication in a special issue. The symposium attracts attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in the traditional core of the operating system field, as well as in the interfaces to areas such as computer architecture, networking, programming languages, and databases. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: Robustness of complex systems Mobile computing Scalability and performance Fault tolerant computing Security Power management Storage systems Sensor networks I/O architectures Web services Overlay networks Empirical studies Virtualization System management A good paper will demonstrate that the authors: * are attacking a significant problem, * have devised an interesting, compelling solution, * have demonstrated the practicality and benefits of the solution, * have drawn appropriate conclusions, * have clearly described what they have done, and * have clearly articulated the advances beyond previous work. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. In addition to citing relevant, published work, authors should relate their SOSP submissions to relevant submissions of their own that are simultaneously under review for this or other venues. The SOSP PC reserves the right to ask authors to provide copies of related simultaneously-submitted papers. Submissions will be done electronically. Detailed instructions for the submission process will be posted on the conference Web site, <www.sosp2007.org>. Submitted papers must be no longer than fourteen (14) 8.5"x11" or A4 pages in a typeface no smaller than 10 point. The page limit includes everything: references, title page, figures, appendices, etc. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions, and not identify themselves either explicitly or by implication (e.g., through the references or acknowledgments). Submissions violating the detailed formatting and anonymization rules on the Web site will not be considered for publication. There will be no extensions for reformatting. Blind reviewing of full papers will be done by the program committee, with limited use of outside referees. Papers will be provisionally accepted subject to revision and approval by a program committee member acting as a shepherd. On acceptance, authors will be required to sign an ACM copyright release form. Your submission indicates that you agree to this. Papers will be held in full confidence during the reviewing process, but papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be rejected without review. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to supply electronic versions of their papers and encouraged to supply source code and raw data to help others replicate and better understand their results. There will be a scholarship program to support student registration and attendance. Details will be posted on the Web site. Important Dates Deadline to register abstracts March 11, 2007 Submission deadline (HARD, NO EXTENSIONS) March 18, 2007 Acceptance notification June 22, 2007 (tentative) Camera-ready deadline Aug 5, 2007 (tentative) Program Committee Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau, U.
