-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [OC-ML] Performance Modeling of Self-Organizing Systems Datum: Wed, 17 May 2006 11:43:12 +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, on September 21, 2006, a technical discussion on " Performance Modeling of Self-Organizing Systems" is taking place at the University of Passau, Germany. It is co-located with the "Intern. Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2006)" (September 18 - 20, 2006). Submission deadline for contributions is July 15th. For further information including the Call for Contribution see http://www.iwsos.net.fmi.uni-passau.de/pmsos.html. Regards, Fabian Rochner ================================================ Overview Self-organization plays a key architectural role for the future Internet as well as for large-scale pervasive computing systems such as wireless sensor networks. Self-organization will enhance flexibility and evolvability of organically growing, large-scale distributed systems. Driven by randomness and feedback, the relation between cause and effect of these systems may appear chaotic: minor causes may have severe impact, whereas seemingly major causes may only have a small effect. Traditional mathematical models tend to be linear and, thus, are not suitable to model such chaotic systems. Models to be developed should be simple to remain scalable to the huge number of entities in the systems under investigation and to be generally applicable. We aim to investigate the methodology for modeling and evaluating the performance and reliability of complex self-organizing systems at the edge of chaos. To this end, this meeting brings together leading national and international experts and creates a forum for knowledge exchange. Important Dates * Extended abstracts / short paper submission deadline: July 15th 2006, 11:59pm CET * Notification of acceptance: August 1st 2006 * Hotel reservation cut-off date: August 15th 2006 * Meeting date: September 21st 2006 Paper Submission & Publication The submitted extended abstracts and short papers will be reviewed and published in form of a Technical Report. The publication of full papers within a Special Issue will depend on the success of the meeting. We solicit submission of selected full papers after the meeting.

Network operators offer multimedia services over mobile networks but it is still limited to particular devices on specific networks. The delivery of multimedia content to every mobile handset on every mobile network, anytime and anywhere is still a major challenge. Mobile media can be delivered via a multitude of different networks with very different characteristics like cellular networks (WCDMA, HSDPA, 3G MBMS), broadcast networks (DVB-H, DMB) or other networks standards like WLAN or Wimax. Mobile terminals like mobile phones, mobile TVs or handheld computers have different capabilities and characteristics. Consequently, seamless interworking between these terminals and networks is becoming more important in order to make uniform media delivery possible. New mobile multimedia services for large user groups like MobileTV, interactive TV, video on demand, TV chatting and multimedia telephony are arising. Each service has its own characteristics and demands for mobile media delivery. As always for mobile services spectrum efficiency is a pre-requisite for large scale deployment. Several European research projects from the FP6 program are addressing the challenges of mobile media delivery. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of mobile media delivery, projects from the mobile and wireless area like Ambient Networks, PHOENIX and DAIDALOS, from the networked audiovisual systems area like DANAE, ENTHRONE and Visnet as well as from the content technologies area like M-Pipe are dealing with mobile media delivery. Besides these projects a lot other research work about mobile media delivery is carried at academia, research institutes and industrial companies. EuMob 2006 will give researchers the opportunity to highlight their latest results on this topic. Researchers active in FP6 research projects as well as other leading international researchers will participate and share their latest findings. Original unpublished contributions are solicited dealing with topics of mobile media delivery like: * Architectures for mobile media delivery * Next generation mobile media delivery frameworks * Overlay networks for mobile media delivery * Peer-2-Peer networks for mobile media delivery * Multimedia service composition for mobile media * Solutions for optimized media delivery and transport over heterogeneous networks * QoS problems and solutions * Network convergence for media delivery * Media adaptation to networks and devices * Network-based mobile media adaptation and pro-active caching * Cross-layer communication for mobile media delivery * (Scalable) source coding for mobile media * Source/channel coding, joint optimizations * Efficient usage of radio and spectrum resources * Mobile media delivery for multi-user services * Interactive mobile broadcast and Mobile TV * Security and protection for mobile media delivery * Context-aware mobile media delivery PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit articles of not more than five pages including figures and references. Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission through COCUS system at http://cocus.create-net.it/. Conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE and will be available through IEEExplore (approval pending).

Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Jens Schmitt ************************** Call for Contributions ************************* (We apologize for multiple copies) GI/ITG/MMB/KuVS Technical Discussion (Fachgespraech) on "PERFORMANCE MODELING OF SELF-ORGANIZING SYSTEMS" September 21, 2006, University of Passau, Germany http://www.iwsos.net.fmi.uni-passau.de/pmsos.html co-located with: EuroNGI IA.8.2 - New Trends in Network Architectures and Services: "INTERN. WORKSHOP ON SELF-ORGANIZING SYSTEMS (IWSOS 2006)" September 18 - 20, 2006, University of Passau, Germany http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/iwsos OVERVIEW: Self-organization plays a key architectural role for the future Internet as well as for large-scale pervasive computing systems such as wireless sensor networks. Self-organization will enhance flexibility and evolvability of organically growing, large-scale distributed systems. Driven by randomness and feedback, the relation between cause and effect of these systems may appear chaotic: minor causes may have severe impact, whereas seemingly major causes may only have a small effect. Traditional mathematical models tend to be linear and, thus, are not suitable to model such chaotic systems. Models to be developed should be simple to remain scalable to the huge number of entities in the systems under investigation and to be generally applicable. We aim to investigate the methodology for modeling and evaluating the performance and reliability of complex self-organizing systems at the edge of chaos. To this end, this meeting brings together leading national and international experts and creates a forum for knowledge exchange. IMPORTANT DATES: - Ext. abstracts/short paper subm. deadline: July 15th 2006, 11:59pm CET - Notification of acceptance: August 1st 2006 - Hotel reservation cut-off date: August 15th 2006 - Meeting date: September 21st 2006 PAPER SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION: The submitted extended abstracts and short papers will be reviewed and published in form of a Technical Report.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP BIONETICS 2006 Datum: Wed, 10 May 2006 09:26:57 +0200 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS BIONETICS 2006 1st International Conference on Bio Inspired mOdels of NEtwork, Information and Computing Systems http://www.bionetics.org/ Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, December 11-13, 2006 In co-operation with IEEE CIS(*), SMC *** Submission deadline: July 31, 2006 *** ************************************************************** Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet scale down to micro- and nano-devices. 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 Prospective authors should submit full papers with up to 8 pages using 10pt font.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - AGNM 2006 Datum: Mon, 08 May 2006 15:11:30 -0700 Von: Silvia Figueira <sfigueira(a)scu.edu> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers ================= AGNM 2006 Second IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Autonomic Grid Networking and Management October 26th-27th, 2006, Herbert Park Hotel, Dublin, Ireland Held as part of the IEEE/IFIP 2nd International Week on Management of Networks and Services Website: http://www.manweek2006.org/agnm/agnm.php Autonomic Grid Computing (AGC) deals with self-managing and self-adapting parallel and distributed computing and associated data management on a distributed and parallel Grid of computational machines (PCs, servers, supercomputers, clusters) and storage systems. Grid computing is performed with the support of two major infrastructure components: 1) a Grid middleware, such as Globus or UNICORE, which provides advanced services and supports Grid resource management, and 2) a fabric layer, which comprises the underlying systems, such as computers, operating systems, and storage systems. A fabric layer component of particular importance is the network since all distributed services rely on the capabilities of the interconnecting network. Recently, the Grid Community has started efforts to enhance the core services of a Grid middleware with autonomic capabilities so that the functions are self-managing. For example, an autonomic Grid resource allocation manager, instead of statically allocating or releasing resources to Grid applications, could do so adaptively, or self-heal to failures. However, the AGC and associated infrastructure (AGCI) is geared mainly towards computational (servers, supercomputers) and storage resources. In other words, the autonomic behavior of AGC and AGCI is a function of changes in computational and storage resources, but not networking resources. Hence there is need for support of Autonomic Grid Networks (AGN) that incorporates into the Grid the following: 1) Network resources distributed across LAN, MAN and WAN, 2) Autonomic and on-demand functions (into various layers and components, such as a Grid middleware). The autonomic functions may be conceptually similar to the ones provided in the lower layer (Layers 3, 2, 1) networks, such as self-control (dynamic rerouting, such as IGP rerouting), self-protection ([G]MPLS Fast Rerouting and Protection, Sonet/SDH protection switching), and self-healing (control and data plane high-availability, etc.). For example, in a typical Grid, the resource management architecture is client-server oriented, where resources are typically registered to and pulled from a particular service. In contrast, in an AGN, the resource management architecture could be distributed and autonomous, where resource requests are routed by autonomous and distributed AGN middleware components. This one-day workshop offers a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and experiences on problems, challenges, solutions and potential future research and development issues in this new field of Autonomic Grid Networking and Management. In addition to paper presentations, the workshop provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate through panels and group work. The authors are encouraged to submit original papers on topics related to the concepts described above, including, but not limited to: - Grid middleware enhancements for AGN - Cluster middleware enhancements for AGN - Network-aware autonomic Grid scheduling - Network-aware autonomic Grid data and storage management - Network-aware autonomic cluster scheduling and management - AGN specific resource discovery - AGN QoS (combined application and abstracted network QoS) management - AGN routing - AGN self-healing and self-protection - AGN high-availability - AGN monitoring and performance management - AGN effects on HPC applications - HPC applications (MPI and other) on AGN - HPC applications (MPI and other) on MAN and WAN AGN - Commercial applications (CRM, ERP, Financial, etc.) on AGN - P2P AGN Submission ---------- For online submission instructions please visit http://www.manweek2006.org/agnm/submission.php Questions should be directed to agnm06(a)anut.fh-aachen.de IMPORTANT DEADLINES ------------------- Submission: May 19 2006 Notification: July 7 2006 Camera ready: August 2 2006 Workshop: October 26-27 2006 Organizing Committee: --------------------- Workshop Chair: Masum Z.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP Workshop Organic Computing bei der GI-Jahrestagung Datum: Mon, 08 May 2006 14:21:49 +0200 Von: Hartmut Schmeck <schmeck(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> An: OC-Interessenten:; CC: Urban Richter <uri(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Hallo Herr Richter, Sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen, anbei erhalten Sie den Call for Papers für den Workshop über Organic Computing bei der diesjährigen GI-Jahrestagung mit der Bitte um Beachtung und Weitergabe an weitere potentiell interessierte Personen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Hartmut Schmeck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call for Papers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Workshop "Organic Computing Status and Outlook" October 5 or 6, 2006, Dresden, Germany part of INFORMATIK 2006 Informatik für Menschen! 36th GI-Jahrestagung, October 2 6, 2006, TU Dresden !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scope: Organic Computing has emerged as a challenging vision for future information processing systems. Organic Computing is based on the insight that we will soon be surrounded by large collections of autonomous systems, which are equipped with sensors and actuators, aware of their environment, communicating freely, and organizing themselves in order to perform the actions and services that seem to be required. The 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 such systems - which we increasingly depend on - as robust, safe, flexible, and trustworthy as possible. In particular, a strong orientation 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-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware. First steps towards adaptive and self-organizing computer systems are already being undertaken. Adaptivity, reconfigurability, emergence of new properties, and self-organization are topics in a variety of research projects. The priority research program of the German Research Foundation (DFG) addresses fundamental challenges in the design of Organic Computing systems; its objective is a deeper understanding of emergent global behavior in self-organizing systems and the design of specific concepts and tools to support the construction of Organic Computing systems for technical applications. This workshop will provide a forum to present the current status of research in Organic Computing and discuss challenges and future directions for research and development. Suggested topics for this workshop include but are not limited to: - self-organization and emergent behavior - complex adaptive systems - self-organization in production and logistics - self-organization in biological systems - bio-inspired computing - artificial life - multi-agent systems and cellular automata - technical usage and controllability of emergence - autonomic computing Paper submission: Authors should submit papers with a maximum of 8 pages before June 26, 2006, via the paper submission section on http://www.organic-computing.de/GI2006/ . Papers will be selected through a peer-review based on contribution to the overall topic, originality, and scientific value. All selected papers will be published in the workshop proceedings (and must be presented at the workshop).

In recent years, distributed applications have indeed gained a practical and widely-known footing in everyday computing. Use of new communication technologies have brought up divergent application areas, including mobile computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, and ubiquitous services, just to name a few. New challenges include the need for service-oriented architectures, autonomous and self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, sensor networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dynamicity of distribution constellations. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS 2006 focuses on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable systems that are related to the latest trends towards service orientation and self-* properties. The papers to be presented at DAIS 2006 cover methodological aspects, tools and language of building adaptable distributed and interoperable services, fault tolerance and dependability, peer-to-peer systems, mobility issues, web services applications and performance issues and composition, semantic web and semantic integration, and context- and location-aware applications. This year, the technical program of DAIS drew from 99 submitted papers, among which 10 were explicitly submitted as work-in-progress papers. From these 21 regular and 5 work-in-progress papers were selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The DAIS 2006 conference is sponsored by IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) and it was the sixth conference in the DAIS series of events organized by IFIP Working Group 6.1.

System support platforms can significantly affect the widespread and rapid adoption of novel mobile devices, because they influence both functional and non-functional characteristics of the forthcoming mobile applications. In fact, novel support for future mobile computing applications should be capable of reconciling the heterogeneity of low-level system features with application-specific requirements. In addition, it should be capable of managing the dynamic evolution of platforms and application requirements by accommodating novel system features and application requirements efficiently. This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to foster an exchange of research results and experiences in the area of mobile applications from a system support perspective. The ultimate goal is to envision new trends and ideas about theoretical and practical aspects of designing, implementing, and evaluating future system platforms for next-generation mobile computing applications. Submitted papers must be original work with no substantial overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or conference with proceedings. TOPICS OF INTEREST: Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - System support infrastructures, services, middleware, and tools; - Supporting functional and non-functional requirements (dependability, resource consumption, portability across heterogeneous devices, hw/sw personalization, QoS); - Runtime and programming language abstractions; - Support for system-, context-, and location-awareness; - Multi-platform solutions and runtime platform interworking; - OS support and integration between runtime platforms and native OS; - Usability, user acceptance and social impact of system support on nomadic end-users, 3rd party developers, and/or device designers and manufactures; - Supporting novel HCI paradigms, programming models, and design methodologies; - Supporting novel user interfaces and novel display (e.g., omni directional 3D displays, power-aware displays) and audio-rendering devices SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Each submission should include either a short or a full position paper including names and contact information of the authors. - Full papers should be at most 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style (two-column, single space, using 10-point font and 1-inch margins) including all figures and references; - Short papers should be at most 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style.
