-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACF-Members: CFP: EvoCOMNET 2007 Datum: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 20:05:13 +0200 Von: Di Caro Gianni <gianni(a)idsia.ch> An: acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org ****** EvoComNet2007 ****** 4th European Workshop on the application of Nature-inspired techniques to Telecommunication Networks and other Connected Systems Valencia, Spain, April 11-13, 2007 --------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: 10 November 2006 Notification of acceptance: 15 December 2006 Camera ready papers: 08 January 2007 --------------------------------------------- http://www.evostar.org/ EvoCOMNET 2007 is the fourth European Workshop on the application of Nature-inspired techniques to networked systems, with special emphasis to telecommunication networks. EvoCOMNET 2007 is part of EVO*, that joins the Europe's premier co-located events in the field of Evolutionary Computing and Nature-inspired techniques. The rapid advances in computing and transmission technologies are giving impetus to the large-scale deployment of interconnected systems for communication and transport of data, voice, video and resources. The global Internet, and cellular, satellite, and Wi-Fi networks, as well as power and logistic networks, just to mention a few remarkable examples, are at the same time ubiquitous and at the very heart of the functioning and success of modern societies. On the other hand, all these networks are increasingly heterogeneous, complex, and dynamic, such as they present a number of challenging issues concerning their analysis and design, management and control, robustness and security. Biological systems show a number of properties, such as self-organization, adaptivity, scalability, robustness, autonomy, locality of interactions, distribution, which are highly desirable to deal with the growing complexity of current and future networks. Therefore, in recent years a growing number of effective solutions for problems related to networked systems have been proposed by taking inspiration from the observation of natural systems and processes such as natural selection, insect societies, immune systems, cultural systems, collective behaviors of groups of animals/cells, etc. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum to present the cutting edge research on Nature-inspired approaches to network-related problems. The workshop sought to provide a deep insight into the effective potentialities of Nature-inspired design to tackle the numerous problems arising in networked systems, and, in particular, in modern telecommunication networks. ------------------------------------ Areas of Interests and Contributions ------------------------------------ EvoCOMNET 2007 solicits contributions dealing with the application of ideas from natural processes and systems to the solution of problems of practical and/or theoretical interests in all domains related to the analysis, design, control, management, protection, and testing of network systems.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC - Advances in Peer-to-Peer Streaming Systems Datum: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 00:17:22 +0800 (HKT) Von: Dr. Danny Tsang <eetsang(a)ee.ust.hk> Antwort an: eetsang(a)ee.ust.hk An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: eetsang(a)ece.ust.hk CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Advances in Peer-to-Peer Streaming Systems Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, emerging with Napster in 1999, has become increasingly popular, accounting for as much as 70% of Internet traffic by some estimates. Along with the widespread adoption of broadband residential access and the increasing demand of multimedia service over the Internet, we are now witnessing the emergence of a new class of popular P2P applications, namely, P2P audio and video streaming. Popular P2P video streaming applications have successfully demonstrated the support of thousands of concurrent peers per channel at bit rates in excess of 400 kbps. While traditional P2P file distribution applications are targeted for elastic data transfers, P2P streaming focuses on the efficient delivery of audio and video content under tight timing requirements. Still in its infancy, both live and on-demand P2P streaming present many research challenges. To date, a number of architectures have been suggested by using either the tree-based push approach (e.g., Narada and SplitStream) or the mesh-based pull approach (e.g., CoolStream) which basically divides the media content into blocks for trading among peers. Further improvements are possible by taking advantage of advanced source and channel coding techniques such as layered coding, multiple description codes, fountain codes, and network coding. Given the initial success of P2P live streaming, questions still remain about how to extend the existing peer-to-peer models for more advanced applications with more stringent requirements such as video-on-demand services and how to support live and on-demand streaming in the same P2P network. Furthermore, with the wide deployment of wireless networks (WLAN, ad hoc, and 3G networks) and various wireless backhaul technologies (wireless mesh networks and WiMax), there are still open research challenges on how to realize a large-scale P2P media streaming over highly dynamic wireless channels and with user mobility. This special issue solicits original state-of-the-art works addressing all aspects related to supporting peer-to-peer multimedia content distribution service from both theoretical and implementation aspects. It aims at putting together a collection of the latest high-quality research results in this area. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel live or on-demand P2P streaming architectures * Traffic measurement and deployment experience * Topology design and locality aware P2P system * Performance evaluation and analysis * Applications of advanced coding techniques * Security issues * Routing and QoS provisioning * Digital rights management * Content partitioning and block scheduling algorithms * Wireless P2P streaming * Peer-matching algorithms for efficient media distribution * Cross-layer design Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/. All papers should be submitted in PDF format via email to Danny H.K. Tsang, eetsang(a)ece.ust.hk, according to the following timetable. Along with the paper submission, authors are also requested to submit a cover letter via email to the above email address, which contains the paper title, authors with affiliations, and an abstract.

[Fwd: [OC-ML] Call for papers: Workshop "Organic Computing" at ARCS 2007]
by Lars Wolf 19 Oct '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [OC-ML] Call for papers: Workshop "Organic Computing" at ARCS 2007 Datum: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 16:16:54 +0200 (CEST) Von: Fabian Rochner <rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de> An: rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de Dear subscribers of the Organic Computing Mailinglist, at ARCS 2007, taking place March 12-15, 2007 at Zurich, a workshop on Organic Computing will take place on the last day of the conference. Deadline for submissions to this workshop is December 21st. Further details on the conference can be found at http://arcs07.ethz.ch/. Regards, Fabian Rochner ================================================== WORKSHOP ORGANIC COMPUTING - TOOLS, APPLICATIONS AND ARCHITECTURES March 15, 2007, ETH Zürich Organic Computing has emerged as a challenging vision for future information processing systems. Organic Computing is based on the insight that in the near future we will be surrounded by large collections of autonomous systems equipped with sensors and actuators to be aware of their environment, to communicate freely, and to organize themselves in order to support people at work and in their everyday life. This presence of networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct these systems - which we increasingly depend on - as robust, safe, flexible, and trustworthy as possible. In particular, a strong orientation of these systems towards human needs as opposed to a pure implementation of the technologically possible seems absolutely central. In order to achieve these goals, our technical systems will have to act more independently, flexibly, and autonomously, i.e. they will have to exhibit life-like properties. We call those systems "organic". Hence, an "Organic Computing System" is a technical system, which adapts dynamically to the current conditions of its environment. It will be self-organizing, self-configuring, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware. The vision of Organic Computing and its fundamental concepts arose independently in different research areas like Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Computer Engineering. Central aspects of Organic Computing systems have been and will be inspired by an analysis of information processing in biological systems. The focus of this OC workshop will be on technical applications, tools and architectures for organic computing systems. Workshop topics - tools and toolboxes for organic computing - organic computing applications - architectures for organic computing - self-X in production systems - complex adaptive systems - technical usage and controllability of emergence Deadlines Submission until Dec. 21, 2006 Notification of acceptance Jan. 13, 2007 Final version until Jan. 21, 2007 Submission of papers Papers can be submitted in PDF format in english. The papers should have a maximum of 10 pages and must be formatted in the VDE-Verlag style. http://www.vde-verlag.de/buecher/tagungd.html Papers must be submitted at http://ocws07.informatik.uni-augsburg.de Worshop chairs Wolfgang Trumler, University of Augsburg Theo Ungerer, University of Augsburg Program committee Bernhard Bauer, Universität Augsburg Jürgen Becker, Universität Karlsruhe Michael Beigl, Universität Braunschweig Uwe Brinkschulte, Universität Karlsruhe Martin Emele, Robert Bosch GmbH Dietmar Fey, Friedrich Schiller-Universität Jena Stefan Fischer, Universität Lübeck Hans-Ulrich Heiß, TU Berlin Jörg Henkel, Universität Karlsruhe Andreas Herkersdorf, TU München Christian Hochberger, TU Dresden Wolfgang Karl, Universität Karlsruhe Paul Lukowicz, Universität Passau Erik Maehle, Universität zu Lübeck Christoph von der Malsburg, Universität Bochum Christian Müller-Schloer, Universität Hannover Wolfgang Reif, Universität Augsburg Jochen Schiller, Freie Universität Berlin Hartmut Schmeck, Universität Karlsruhe Bernhard Sick, Universität Passau Dirk Timmermann, Universität Rostock

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: E-NEXT.members: CFP: The 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07) Datum: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 22:35:12 +0200 Von: Xiaoyuan Gu <xiaogu(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> Organisation: TU Braunschweig An: members(a)ist-e-next.net ******************* ATC-07 Call For Papers********************** The 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07) - Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality - http://www.atc-conference.org/2007/ http://ehpclab.stfx.ca/~atc07/ Organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Hong Kong, China, July 11-13, 2007 ****************************************************** Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity, becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled emergence. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-07 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-07 is a successor of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan, Dec.), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria, Apr.), and the 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, Three Gorges, China, Sep.). Topics include but are not limited to the following: -AC/OC Theory and Models * Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition, self-organization, emergence, etc. -AC/OC Architectures and Systems * Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc. -AC/OC Components and Modules * Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc. -AC/OC Communication and Services * Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. -AC/OC Tools and Interfaces * Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. -Trust Models and Specifications * Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. -Trust-related Security and Privacy * Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. -Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems * Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. -Trustworthy Services and Applications * Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, mobile/ pervasive services, novel applications, etc. -Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues * Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. ==IMPORTANT DATES== Submission Deadline: January 15, 2007 Authors Notification: March 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: April 15, 2007 ==ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION== Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP IEEE Communications Magazine Peer-to-Peer Multimedia Streaming Datum: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 23:43:57 -0200 (BRST) Von: nfonseca(a)ic.unicamp.br An: multicomm(a)comsoc.org, csim(a)comsoc.org, tccc(a)comsoc.org 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 1st, 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.

Workshops provide a forum for people to discuss areas of special interest within pervasive computing with like-minded researchers and practitioners. Workshops afford the participants the opportunity to examine an area with a selected focus in an open environment for the free exchange of views. The day-long workshops will be held prior to the main conference on Sunday May 13, 2007. Proposal Submission Process: Please email your proposal to workshops-chairs(a)pervasive07.org . Pre-Proposal Submission Inquiries: Contact either of the workshop co-chair's Anind Dey or Gillian Hayes if you would like to discuss a workshop proposal (email: workshops-chairs(a)pervasive07.org) We solicit workshops in all areas related to Pervasive Computing. In particular we would like to encourage workshops focused on new and emerging research directions, novel and highly innovative themes, real-world topics including industrial and medical issues, system or interaction topics and interdisciplinary themes. The workshop proposal should be a maximum of 3 pages. Each workshop will have a dedicated space near the posters of late breaking results to present the outcomes, discussion, and/or recommendations from the workshop. The conference management team will also provide facilities for printing large format posters for those workshop organizers who are interested in presenting information that way. Workshop organizers and attendees will be encouraged to staff this dedicated area during certain breaks to engage in discussions with other Pervasive 2007 delegates not in attendance at individual workshops. Workshop proposals should include: * Name of workshop and proposed URL of site to host CFP, program etc. * Theme of the workshop and topics of interest and how these relate to the overall conference * Names, affiliations, and research interest of the organizers * Who do you expect to attend the workshop? * How do you plan to attract submissions and/or participants? * Number of participants that is expected (a range is appropriate)? * What is the expected outcome of the workshop? * What, if any, accommodations and supplies do you require other than a projector, pens and notepads for each participant, an easel with large paper and markers, and a room and chairs large enough for your participants? * How do you plan to organize the workshop (participant selection, detailed timeline, type of contributions)? * How do you plan to run the workshop? What types of activities will you have? * What would you expect to be your contribution to the rest of the Pervasive 2007 audience not in attendance at the workshop? And how do you plan to provide this? Workshop Organization: We encourage having an international team of organizers for a workshop who are from different institutions. We will aim for a balanced workshop program trying to avoid overlapping themes. Organizers are expected to be active themselves in the field in which they propose a workshop. Organizers are required to attend those workshops they are organizing. Any change to the workshop organization team must be submitted in writing at least two weeks prior to the position paper deadline for individual workshops (January 12, 2007). No changes to the workshop organization team can be made after this date to ensure that potential participants submitting position papers to workshops are aware of the final organization team. Please feel free to discuss ideas for a workshop proposal by email with the workshop chairs prior to submission. Pervasive 2007 Workshops are a complementary forum to the main conference, encouraging the presentation and discussion of work in progress and facilitating a dialogue on emerging topics in small groups. Workshop sessions will provide inspiring and influencing discussion on a variety of pervasive computing topics. Workshop registration will be at a reduced price for Pervasive 2007 participants. Important Workshop Dates: - October 27, 2006: Workshop Proposals Deadline - November 17, 2006 : Notification of acceptance/rejection - November 24, 2006 : Workshop calls online (by the organizers) - January 26, 2007: Workshop position paper deadline - March 2, 2007: Notification of acceptance/rejection of position papers Workshops Co-Chairs: - Anind Dey (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) - Gillian Hayes (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) Email: workshops-chairs(a)pervasive07.org On behalf of the Pervasive 2007 conference, we look forward to your contribution.

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2007, White Plains, NY March 19-23, 2007. http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~wu/ICMAN/ For close to quarter of a century, mobile communication has experienced an explosive growth, especially in the last decade or so. In particular, one area of mobile communication networks, the ad hoc networks, has attracted significant attention due to its challenging research problems. The ad hoc networks technology has spun off new research areas, such as mesh-based mobile networks and sensor networks. What characterizes nearly all of those mobile technologies is that during the exchange of information between the source and destination terminals, there exists a set of links which constitutes an end-to-end path over which the information can be exchanged. However, in some application scenarios, the connectivity between the mobile terminals does not always allow for creation of such a path. This could be due to very sparse network conditions (low node density) or due to unstable connectivity conditions (interference, fading, etc). Thus, in such scenarios, it would be often difficult, or even impossible, to form a well-connected mesh network for transmitting data through established end-to-end connections. In fact, even if there temporarily exists a path in the network for some portion of the communication, it is likely that the terminals will only be intermittently connected due to mobility. A simple example is that in a WLAN environment, mobile users may be connected to an AP for a while before moving out of its coverage, and then getting connected to a different AP. More examples are found in environments without access to infrastructure at all. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to intermittently connected mobile ad hoc networks (ICMAN), which encompasses the scope of delay or disruption tolerant networks (or DTN), and bringing together state-of-the-art contributions in this emerging area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - New architecture design - Novel transport and routing protocols - Reliability and fault tolerance - Energy, processing power and storage requirement - Mobility modeling and mobility management - Localization and node synchronization - Security, privacy and incentives for co-operation - Resource allocation and QoS support - Performance analysis and evaluation - Delay-tolerant applications - Testbed implementation and experimental results Important Dates: - Submission deadline: Oct. 10, 2006 - Notification of acceptance: Nov. 22, 2006 - Camera-ready papers due: Dec. 22, 2006 - Workshop date: March 19-23, 2007 Submission Instructions : Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Special Issue on Distributed Systems of Sensors and Actuators - March 1, 2007 (Revised) Datum: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 00:08:57 -0500 Von: Yi Shang <shangy(a)missouri.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you have received multiple copies.] ------------------------------------------------------------------- - CALL FOR PAPERS - Special Issue on Distributed Systems of Sensors and Actuators WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS AND MOBILE COMPUTING JOURNAL, WILEY Submission Deadline (Revised): March 1, 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sensor and actuator systems are rapidly evolving towards a physically heterogeneous and distributed but functionally integrated environment consisting of both wired and wireless components. Furthermore, battery-powered networked devices are becoming increasingly more common, and mobile ad-hoc and wireless sensor networks are receiving considerable attention. Distributed systems of sensors and actuators, however, pose many challenges and call for systems solutions that are efficient, robust, scalable, and easily deployable. This special issue seeks original contributions in the design, analysis, and experimental evaluation of distributed systems of sensors and actuators, particularly the ones connected through wireless networks. Papers on practical as well as on theoretical topics and problems are invited. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): • Middleware for sensor/actuator networks • Efficient multicast and convergecast for query processing • Resource management for sensor/actuator systems • Real-time learning in sensor/actuator systems • Self-healing, self-organized systems • Artificial intelligence in sensor/actuator systems • Novel applications of sensor/actuator networks • Theoretical foundations of sensor/actuator networks Submitted papers are considered in 3 categories: Review/Survey papers, Research/Technical papers, and Industrial/Application papers. The guest editors encourage the authors to submit their manuscripts as an email attachment to one of the guest editors, or to provide a URL with a PDF or postscript version of their manuscript. Detailed instructions to authors can be found in: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jabout/76507157/ForAuthors.html Important Dates: Manuscript submission due: March 1, 2007 Acceptance notification; May 1, 2007 Final manuscript due: June 1, 2007 Publication: August 2007 Guest Editors: YI SHANG, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA, shangy(a)missouri.edu HONGCHI SHI, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA, shih(a)missouri.edu YING ZHANG, Palo Alto Research Center, USA, yzhang(a)parc.com CHRISTOPHE GUETTIER, USAGEM SA, France, christophe.guettier(a)sagem.com _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
