-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: The 15th IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2007) Datum: Fri, 15 Dec 2006 10:30:50 -0600 Von: Yan Chen <ychen(a)cs.northwestern.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: iwqos07-tpcchairs(a)cs.northwestern.edu CALL FOR PAPERS The 15th IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS) Chicago, IL, June 20-22, 2007 http://iwqos07.ece.ucdavis.edu/ Quality of Service principles can be applied to a large number of domains, and are particular relevant to the new NSF initiatives on Future Internet Design (FIND) and Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI). The scope of the workshop will broadly cover all the important aspects of QoS research: in networking (wireline, wireless, and sensor networks), distributed systems, operating systems, servers, and middleware (such as grid computing and peer-to-peer systems). The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions and encourages multi-disciplinary approaches to QoS research. Besides traditional QoS topics, we welcome submissions on relevant technical issues, such as availability, reliability, security, pricing, incentive, resource management, and performance guarantees, in the context of networking and distributed systems. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * QoS in the wide-area Internet, peer-to-peer, overlay * QoS in large-scale distributed systems, including grid environments * QoS in wireless, mobile, ad hoc, and sensor networks (including wireless mesh networks) * QoS in intranets and VoIP systems * QoS for web services and storage systems * System dependability, availability, resilience, and robustness * Security and privacy as QoS parameters * QoS specification, translation, and adaptation * QoS evaluation metrics and methodologies (measurements, verification, etc) * QoS analysis and modeling * QoS pricing and billing * QoS architectures and protocols (including QoS routing) * Programmability and language features supporting QoS * Rationality, incentive, microeconomics, and self-interest in decentralized networks * QoS and new media * QoS and haptics , virtual environments * QoS in business processes, workflows IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Full-length papers for submission must not exceed 20 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 -- 150 words. Short papers for submission must not exceed 5-6 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references. An abstract of 3-5 lines is recommended. When submitting a short paper, the authors of short papers must check the corresponding check box at the submission site. All papers must be submitted in either Postscript or the Adobe PDF format, and no other formats are accepted by the paper submission web site. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at IWQoS 2007. IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to provide fast turnaround. The deadline for papers is therefore as close to the conference (about 4-5 months apart). The workshop is a single-track forum spanning two and a half days. Award will be given at the workshop to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student. The best paper award will be chosen in consultation with the TPC members and will be based on the topic, technical contributions, review scores and comments of the paper.

The focus of ACNM is on intelligent communication, network control and management paradigms based on smart network and service elements that are capable to automatically configure and organize themselves. Autonomic networks will be able to sense their environment to perceive these changes, to understand the meaning of these changes, and to react in an intelligent manner through adaptation. This facilitates new ways to perform network control, management, service creation, etc. Autonomic networking naturally also applies to mission critical distributed systems, since autonomic behavior allows for immediate reaction to changes in the networking environment or context, and correction of any (predicted) problems. Such behavior also facilitates fault-tolerance and resilience. ACNM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange their research ideas and findings. The workshop will be held in conjunction with IM2007, which draws many leading researchers in the field of Network and Systems Management. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the EU IST Project ANA. *** TOPICS *** The topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Autonomic network architectures and principles - Paradigms, tools and techniques autonomic communication systems - Control and management in dynamic/mobile network environments - Self-management of communication systems and networks (e.g., based on peer-to-peer principles) - Policy control for autonomic networks & systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for autonomic networks - Advances in and application of control theory - Self-co-operating peer-to-peer networks - Self-organizing network elements, and administrative domains - Self-X technologies - Fault-tolerance and resilience - Cognitive networking - Plug and play networking components - Knowledge based network control - Bio-inspired networks and systems - Experiences with self-X solutions - Application of autonomic management to mobile and wireless networking including 3GPP evolved UTRAN, SAE networks, etc. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** Submission deadline: January 31st, 2007 Notification of acceptance: March 16th, 2007 Camera ready due: April 9th, 2007 Workshop date: May 25th, 2007 *** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS *** Papers must be original material, not currently be under review, and not have been previously published by another conference or journal.

It will be organised by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Cyprus. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Distributed applications and interoperable systems have become an integral part of everyday living, part of the socio-economic ecosystem of our human environment. With such interdependence between society and software, distributed software applications must be sustainable and adaptable in the long term, despite the changes in our environment. What do we understand by sustainability in distributed applications and interoperable systems? How do we ensure our distributed applications can make local adaptation to specific circumstances of their deployment? How do we make our interoperable systems evolvable in the face of widespread change in their environment? How do we integrate distributed software within the wider fabric of computing within our modern world? How can distributed applications and interoperable systems capitalise and exploit future trends and the changing user demographic? The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications and interoperable systems: design, implementation, operation and maintenance. This time we particularly solicit papers that address sustainability issues. DAIS'07 is the 7th event in this successful international conference series, commencing in 1997. It will be a forum for researchers, vendors and users to come together to review, discuss and learn about the future of distributed applications and interoperable systems.

It will be co-located with the ACM Conference on Advancements in Entertainment Technologies (ACE). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PerGames series of international symposia addresses the design and technical issues of bringing computer entertainment back to the real world with pervasive games. Previous PerGames events were held in Vienna (2004), Munich (2005), Dublin (2006) and attracted researchers and practitioners from all over the world. PerGames 2007 will feature high quality paper presentations and demos reviewed by an international program committee of experts from the fields of Pervasive Computing and Gaming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This time, we call for four categories of participation: * Research Papers * Research Posters * Live Demonstrations * Citywide Games ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Papers: Research Papers present the latest findings from pervasive gaming research. Each research paper should be six to ten pages in ACM SIGCHI format and should address a relevant topic for pervasive gaming applications. Participants will be chosen on the quality/ originality of their submission by an international program committee. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Mixed reality installations * Innovative input devices * Augmented tabletop games * Emerging pervasive game concepts * Augmented reality games * (Mis-)use of enabling technologies in games * Mobile computing entertainment * Business cases for pervasive computing games * Privacy and awareness issues in pervasive games * Mixing games and serious applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Posters: Research posters will be displayed and discussed during the symposium. They should include nifty ideas or ongoing work that might be too premature for a full paper submission, but interesting to discuss and share with the audience. A poster submission includes a two page description in ACM SIGCHI format and upon acceptance the respective poster. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live Demonstrations: Due to their intrinsic nature, Pervasive Games are best understood by experiencing them firsthand and therefore PerGames will host a number of innovative demonstrations of games as part of the conference. We encourage submissions of live demos of complete, playable Pervasive Games or novel technology demonstrators. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussions. A demo submission includes an abstract that describes the exhibit and discusses its novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches. It should be two to four pages using the ACM SIGCHI format. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citywide Games: Citywide Games are larger than Live Demonstrations with respect to the suggested temporal or spatial expansion. Typically, they will be played over several hours or days within the city of Salzburg or within the conference building. PerGames 2007 will help with the advertisement, the local organization, permissions, legal issues and press contacts. Possible types of Citywide Games include (but are not limited to): * Mobile phone games * Augmented reality games * Casual games * Alternate reality games * Online on street games * Event-based games * Proximity games * Crossmedia games * Technology-enhanced larp games Citywide Game proposals should be submitted electronically and include a game title, a brief description of the game experience (appr. 200 words), as well as the names and contact information of the Citywide Game organizers. The proposal should also identify the intended audience, its size, all technical infrastructure requirements (e.g. WiFi, GSM, GPRS, Bluetooth, GPS, ...) as well as and further requirements (e.g. required space, time, power supply, etc.). Please describe the requirements in detail and be precise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submissions will be due 1. March 2007 with the acceptance notification coming 30. March and printer ready versions due afterwards.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Iscc] Autonomics'07 in Rome - first cfp Datum: Thu, 07 Dec 2006 16:15:25 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Invitation & Call-for-Papers ****** 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 Autonomics07 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 <http://cocus.create-net.it/>) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: F.

This pervaded world has generated new communication paradigms: autonomic and opportunistic communications. Communication among devices in a pervasive environment can happen if the devices can communicate autonomously, and manage their own evolution and configuration changes in the network, without explicit user or administrator action. In a pervasive world, even in the absence of any connectivity infrastructure mobile devices can communicate using the connection "opportunities" that arise due to mobility. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks Adaptive security for self protection of networks Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic and opportunistic communications Mobility models for opportunistic networking Novel management techniques for autonomic and opportunistic communications Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.
