We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2007 The Fourth International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services January 24-26, 2007. Obergurgl (Innsbruck), AUSTRIA http://wons07.uibk.ac.at ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the conference ----------------------- The world of wireless networks in the last few years has definitely turned its attention and focus more on "lightweight" networks, cheap and easily deployed, rather than the traditional, infrastructured cellular networks. The aim is providing ubiquitous connectivity and network centric services, with the important attribute of service provisioning "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. Even in the cellular network world, providers often point out their capacity to offer ad-hoc services that are tailored for a specific event or community, e.g. gaming on cellular networks. On the other extreme, peer2peer systems can provide innovative communication services to a community on ad-hoc networks, requiring almost no infrastructure. Ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing are also part of this broad vision of "on demand" networking, providing services to users when they need it, albeit the final user might not even be aware if it! WONS is now at its fourth edition, and the community interest is still on the rise, providing a premier forum for high quality papers presentation and lively discussion. For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and Design * Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation * Modeling * Internet integration * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive / ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Applications and Service Support * Data dissemination and peer2peer systems Schedule -------- Paper registration deadline: September 1, 2006 Paper due: September 7, 2006 (No further extension will be granted!) Feedback to authors: October 30, 2006 Final manuscripts to publisher: November 20, 2006 (tentative) Conference: January, 24-26, 2007 Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit full papers (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages). Short papers should address future research directions, ongoing work, and visionary, innovative ideas. All papers should be submitted electronically as PDF, according to the IEEE publisher format. The papers will be published in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE.

[Fwd: [Cost290] CFP - 1st IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2006)]
by Lars Wolf 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] CFP - 1st IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2006) Datum: Fri, 04 Aug 2006 17:09:56 +0200 Von: David Hausheer <hausheer(a)ifi.unizh.ch> An: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi Apologies for possibly receiving multiple copies of this CFP. Call for Papers 1st IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2006) http://www.csg.unizh.ch/events/bod06/ In conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2006 http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2006/ November 27, 2006 San Francisco, California, USA Scope Electronic marketplaces for trading bandwidth have emerged since the late 1990’s, but were seriously hit by the economic downturn in 2001. The promise of instant bandwidth availability had led to the development of market mechanisms that companies used to trade bandwidth just as other commodities. However, those trading markets all but disappeared with the bursting of the telecom bubble. Driven by the recent technical advances in telecommunications and the new potentials of emerging peer-to-peer (P2P) and next generation networks (NGN), the goal of this workshop is to take a fresh and innovative look at the concept of bandwidth on demand (BOD). Recent advances in the Internet-based communications domain, in which the support of Quality-of-Service and diverse application services become possible, require in many cases short-termed bandwidth assignments for, e.g., large sporting events or cultural open air activities. In addition, the support of bandwidth trading in a fully decentralized and secured manner, e.g., based on P2P schemes, shows further advantages in terms of reliability and scalability for large-scale systems. Topics of Interest The workshop seeks original papers in the following four areas that serve as basis for bandwidth on demand: * Economic studies and modeling of market and business models in carrier and service provider networks o Game theoretical bandwidth-on-demand models o Cost and revenue models o Bandwidth-on-demand business models o Market liquidity aspects * Technical design of scalable, reliable, and cost-effective bandwidth trading infrastructures, including market mechanisms as a way to increase efficiencies o Scalable market mechanisms o Secure and reliable market infrastructures o Bandwidth trading mechanisms o IP-based and decentralized trading mechanisms o P2P trading infrastructures, distributed markets o P2P auctions * Legislative and regulatory issues related to the Telecom Act and in comparison to other commodities markets such as the electric grid o Telecom legislation o Telecom regulation o Commodities markets * Industrial developments of new technologies that facilitate or create impediments to bandwidth on demand o Network management aspects o Technical improvements in transport and data networks Paper Submissions Papers are solicited as full papers (in English), of no more than 8 single-spaced pages, each of which will be subject to a full review process. Submissions must be in PDF and will be handled using the JEMS system. Please refer to http://www.csg.unizh.ch/events/bod06/ for further submission instructions or contact bod06(a)ifi.unizh.ch for additional information. Those papers accepted will be published in proceedings with an ISBN number. Important Dates * Submission deadline: August 31, 2006 * Notification of acceptance: October 15, 2006 * Final versions of papers due: October 31, 2006 * Workshop date: November 27, 2006 Committees General Co-chairs * Takeo Hamada, Fujitsu Laboratories of America, USA * Burkhard Stiller, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland PC Co-chairs * Richard Rabbat, Fujitsu Laboratories of America, USA * David Hausheer, University of Zurich, Switzerland Technical Program Committee * Panayotis Antoniadis, LIP6, France * Greg Bernstein, Grotto Networking, USA * Georg Carle, University of Tübingen, Germany * Costas Courcoubetis, AUEB, Greece * György Dán, KTH, Sweden * Vasilios Darlagiannis, EPFL, Switzerland * Zoran Despotovic, DoCoMo Euro-Labs München, Germany * Oliver Heckmann, TU Darmstadt, Germany * Rahul Jain, UC Berkeley, USA * Dave Marples, Telcordia, USA * Huw Oliver, Bristol, Research Consultant, UK * Lyndon Ong, Ciena, USA * Aiko Pras, University of Twente, The Netherlands * Giancarlo Ruffo, University of Torino, Italy * Vik Saxena, Comcast, USA * Kohei Shiomoto, NTT Labs, Japan * to be extended _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290

4th Workshop on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (WMAN 2007) in conjunction with the 15th bi-annual Conference on Communication in Distributed Systems (KiVS) (German: ITG/GI - Fachtagung "Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen (KiVS)") February 26 - March 02, 2007, Bern, Switzerland http://kivs07.unibe.ch/ URL: http://wman2007.cs.bonn.edu/ General information: Welcome to the Workshop on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks! Based on the success of the preceding WMAN workshops of 2005, 2004 and 2002, the workshop will also be held in 2007. For the upcoming workshop, we are very happy to introduce WMAN 2007 as an event moved to an international scenery (taking place in Bern, Switzerland) and being hosted in the context of the 15th ITG/GI conference on communication in distributed systems (German: ITG/GI - Fachtagung "Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen") - see http://kivs07.unibe.ch/ Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks today are among the most active research topics in the area of mobile and wireless communication. Technical issues having sound solutions in the area of fixed networks might not be applicable to ad hoc networks. Thus, new solutions have to be found or existing ones have to be adapted to their use in ad-hoc networks. Although, the area of addressing and routing has been discussed for some time, several new solutions are being proposed. However, the issue of security in ad hoc networks is among the younger topics. Workshop paper topics include, but are not limited to: * Base technologies and applicability in ad-hoc networks (e.g. IEEE 802.11q/WAVE, ZigBee, ...) * Routing in ad-hoc networks * Quality-of-Service (QoS) * Automatic address configuration, access to the Internet * Security, privacy and encryption * Energy management * Localisation in ad-hoc networks * Applications and application architectures (e.g. P2P) * Software platforms/frameworks (Middleware) for mobile ad-hoc applications * Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) * Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) * Ad-hoc networks in Ubiquitous Computing Systems * Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) * Operation and managment of ad-hoc networks * Methodologies, models, and tools for analysis in ad-hoc network design * Scalability and simulation * Architectures and protocols for large ad-hoc networks * Experiences with ad-hoc networks in "real life" Addressees of the workshop: Goal of the WMAN workshop is to enable an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers on an international level - under the umbrella of research topics on wireless mobile ad-hoc networks. We encourage you to submit original papers describing research results or practical solutions, as well as ongoing work or challenging new research issues in the area of ad-hoc networks. Important dates: 15.10.2006 Submission of workshop papers (for review process) 30.11.2006 Notification of acceptance 29.12.2006 Camera ready version of accepted papers 26.02. - 02.03.2007 Conference KiVS - the exact date of the WMAN workshop is not yet fixed! Submission of papers: We encourage you to submit papers in english language of up to 12 pages. The papers will have to be submitted in electronic form (PDF) at latest at 15. October 2006. The workshop and all presentations will be held in English language.

Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. A fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behaviour and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical artifacts which have similar high stability and efficiency as biological entities often have. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the following five areas including but not limited to the following topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools - Mathematical models of biological processes - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties b) Bio-inspired software - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies c) Bio-inspired security mechanisms - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Cell, body, population-level security mechanisms - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms d) Bio-inspired networks and communication systems - Bio-inspired network algorithms and protocols - Bio-inspired autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols e) Bio-inspired and bio-based nano-scale communication and information systems - Molecular communication - Biological computing - Nano-scale biologically engineered systems -------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS -------------------------------------------------- Prospective authors should submit full papers with up to 8 pages, or short papers with up to 1 page. Accepted full papers will be given a full oral presentation slot, and accepted short papers will be presented in a poster session. Only electronic submissions in PDF format are accepted. The proceedings will be a IEEE Publication and the papers will be listed on the IEEE Xplore and IEEE digital library.

In parallel to the Internet, mobile communications also has evolved to an integral component in our everyday life providing a growing variety of services. Industry is pushing new standards that allow high data rate multimedia applications as well as seamless communication across heterogeneous radio and network technologies including Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC). The success of the next generation mobile telecommunication systems will again depend on the services and applications that can be provided. These future systems are expected to converge paradigms of traditional mobile telecommunication systems and the Internet protocols and software engineering methods. New paradigms will emerge. For example, the customer acceptance is considered to be widely increased by tailoring services and applications to actual user needs, their preferences and the context a user is in. Another example is Peer-to-Peer (P2P). Peer-to-Peer communication supports customers exchanging their own services and resources among each other (e.g., in communities). Furthermore, applying the Peer-to-Peer paradigm to existing system allows cost saving through reuse of available resources. A well engineered next generation service platform should provide all capabilities to allow innovative services to be created and deployed in short time addressing user needs and operator requirements. Open interfaces allow a chaining of expertise in service provisioning. Semantic technologies may help to structure knowledge about the user's vicinity. Issues to be addressed in the workshop include: - Open Service Architectures - Mobile Service Platforms (in heterogeneous and ubiquitous environments) - Mobile peer to peer networking and applications - Capabilities and features for next generation mobile services (context-awareness, personalization/personal agent, high quality multimedia, information distribution) - Semantic Service Building Blocks (service modelling, service creation, service discovery, service composition, service execution, service management) - Privacy and trust as enabling technologies for service platforms - Service platform prototypes, trials, test beds, and evaluation - Innovative mobile applications and services This Workshop is the best opportunity to address this highly important theme in sufficient depth and breadth. It is intended to share knowledge and exchange ideas to promote new studies a nd research topics in the area of service provisioning in IP-based mobile systems. The workshop is open to contributions from all experts in service technologies from industry and academia, including bodies such as mITF and WWRF, but not being limited to those. The Mobile IT Forum (mITF) and the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) are both organizations working towards the next generation of mobile communication systems. Those bodies represent each more than 140 member organizations (including companies, universities, and research institutes). Those bodies have dedicated working groups to the architecture/platform challenge. This workshop will be the unique opportunity to discuss service architecture/platform issues on a highly international level with experts from these bodies. Papers and Author's Kit: Workshop papers should be within 4 pages, no extra page is allowed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [mycolleagues] [ieee-cnom] IFIP/IEEE IM 2007 - CFP Announcement! (fwd) Datum: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 23:55:00 -0300 (BRT) Von: Carlos Becker Westphall <westphal(a)inf.ufsc.br> Antwort an: mycolleagues(a)inf.ufsc.br An: mycolleagues(a)inf.ufsc.br 10th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management 21-25 May 2007 University of Federal Armed Forces Munich, Munich, Germany www.ieee-im.org Call for Papers, Panels, Tutorials, Workshops 10th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2007): The Tenth IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Management (IM 2007) will be held 21-25 May 2007 in Munich, Germany. IM 2007 will present the latest technical advances in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Held in odd-numbered years since 1989 and taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS, IM 2007 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the field of integrated management. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). Integrated management of networked systems is facing new challenges, stemming from a combination of rapidly evolving technologies and an increased scrutiny from corporate customers. At the same time, as IT and network services become more and more ubiquitous, their reliability and performance become more critical for all kinds of enterprises. The resulting demands for improving and verifying service quality must be met in an environment of increasingly distributed and decentralized service provisioning, accelerated service lifecycles, and unprecedented security challenges. Today's IT management issues involve many diverse problems in controlling heterogeneous IT infrastructures, often across organizational boundaries. However, new and difficult challenges are emerging while aligning technical and organizational IT management to business requirements, thus calling for integrating management tools and measures "from bits to business value". IM 2007 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, tutorials and workshops. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and vendor exhibits. In the tradition of previous events, we strive to make the IM 2007 Symposium the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services. TOPICS OF INTEREST: Topics of interest to IM 2007 include, but are not limited to, the following: Management Paradigms, Theories and Models Management and Virtual Environments Management Standards and Enabling Technologies Operation and Management Functions Service Engineering and Operational Challenges Management of Emerging Networks and Services Organizational Aspects of IT Service Management Autonomic Computing and Self-Management For details, visit http://www.ieee-im.org/2007/.

Obergurgl (Innsbruck), AUSTRIA http://wons07.uibk.ac.at ------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the conference ----------------------- The world of wireless networks in the last few years has definitely turned its attention and focus more on "lightweight" networks, cheap and easily deployed, rather than the traditional, infrastructured cellular networks. The aim is providing ubiquitous connectivity and network centric services, with the important attribute of service provisioning "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. Even in the cellular network world, providers often point out their capacity to offer ad-hoc services that are tailored for a specific event or community, e.g. gaming on cellular networks. On the other extreme, peer2peer systems can provide innovative communication services to a community on ad-hoc networks, requiring almost no infrastructure. Ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing are also part of this broad vision of "on demand" networking, providing services to users when they need it, albeit the final user might not even be aware if it! WONS is now at its fourth edition, and the community interest is still on the rise, providing a premier forum for high quality papers presentation and lively discussion. For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and Design * Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation * Modeling * Internet integration * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive / ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Applications and Service Support * Data dissemination and peer2peer systems Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit full papers (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages). Short papers should address future research directions, ongoing work, and visionary, innovative ideas. All papers should be submitted electronically as PDF, according to the IEEE publisher format. The papers will be published in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE.

These technologies have improved the levels of safety and comfort to drivers. Coupled with advances in wireless communications technologies, recently there have been significant efforts to enhance and integrate the communications technologies into the vehicle and transportation systems to enable safety and information applications. For example, significant industrial and governmental efforts are underway to push from "passive-safety" to "active-safety" by employing networking functions in vehicles and highway infrastructure. With such communications and networking capabilities are integrated into vehicles and the infrastructure, not only safety but many other emerging applications can be supported for intelligent interactions with the transportation system, with other vehicles, and inside vehicles, to help with traffic management, vehicle diagnostics, mobile commerce, and much more. The increasing importance of vehicle and infrastructure communications is recognized by governments, highway authorities, automobile manufacturers and the academic community. This one-day workshop intends to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to discuss and address recent developments and challenges in deploying vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-with-infrastructure networking technologies, and their applications including safety-assistance and driver-convenience. Specifically, we solicit original research contributions addressing the following areas: * Communication and application architecture of Intelligent Transportation Systems * Vehicle-with-infrastructure (V2I) communications * Mobile ad hoc vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications * Communication protocols for vehicular networks (media access, routing, etc.) * Physical layer and RF level technologies for vehicle communications * Security and authentication issues in vehicular ad hoc networks * Radio resource management and QoS support for vehicle communications * High-speed mobility management for vehicular networks * Simulation techniques for vehicular networks * Experimental systems and testbeds for vehicle communications Submission Instructions: 1.. Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 20 double-spaced pages, including references, figures and tables. Use the abstract submission interface to provide the main information on your paper. You will be given an id/password which must later be used to access the system during the following steps, so be careful to remember it. 2..
