-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: E-NEXT.members: CfP IWAN 2006 Datum: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 22:10:35 +0200 Von: Guy Leduc <Guy.Leduc(a)ULG.AC.BE> An: 'Members E-Next Mailing List' <members(a)ist-e-next.net> Call for Papers: IWAN 2006 Eighth Annual IFIP TC6 Working Conference on Active and Programmable Networks September 25-29, 2006 Paris, France http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/Iwan.htm Co-located with SMARTNET'06 - INTELLCOMM'06 - WAC'06 as part of Autonomic Networking 2006 IWAN06 will be part of the "Autonomic Networking" conference, which is the first international conference on all aspects of autonomic networking (architecture, services, tools, security, communications, ...). This conference groups four past events: SMARTNET on tools for autonomic networking (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/SMARTNET.htm); INTELLCOMM on autonomic management and services (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/Intellcomm.htm); WAC on autonomic communications (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/WAC.htm ) and IWAN on active networks (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/IWAN.htm) Active and programmable networking has, over the past several years, laid the foundations of providing easy, but robust, introduction of new network services to devices such as routers and switches by adding dynamic programmability to network equipment. Network programmability and service deployment architectures can bring the right services to the customer at the right time and location. The methods and technologies explored in active and programmable networking research have helped realise the trend towards ad-hoc networks, autonomic computing and communications, sensor networks and content-aware distribution. Also, active and programmable networks will continue to play an important role in future network architectures where the Quality of Service aspects of performance, security and resilience are crucial. IWAN06 brings together members of various communities using active and programmable network techniques to address the above challenges, and it provides a forum for discussion and collaboration involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover all aspects of active network based communication, including foundations of robust languages and security mechanisms, active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals, and active management. In addition, the meeting will focus on relating active techniques to customer needs and services. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results. However, we welcome high quality descriptive contributions where the ideas are particularly novel or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of others. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following active and programmable networking topics: * Architectures and new concepts for programmability and flexibility in networks * Standardization of frameworks * Secure and robust network operation * Formal descriptions, analysis, and methodologies * Self-organizing and self-managing networks * Cognitive networks * Design and development methodologies and tools * Overlay networks * Storage in networking * Active and programmable technologies for Grids * Security within programmable and active frameworks * Applications and experiments * Service creation, deployment, and management * Programmable network elements and devices * Network processor platforms * Hardware and software platforms for autonomous infrastructures * Mobile and ad-hoc networking; mobile platforms * Programmability and software radios * Content- and context-aware distribution * Autonomic programmable networking * Building complex systems Information for Authors: Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 10 single-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 150 word abstract, and list of keywords. Identify the author responsible for correspondence, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address. Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically through the EDAS web site (http://edas.info/). The post-conference proceedings are expected to be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series.

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/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 20th International Teletraffic Congress (ITC20) Datum: Wed, 5 Apr 2006 17:09:33 -0500 Von: Medhi, Deep <DMedhi(a)umkc.edu> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, <cnom(a)lrg.ufsc.br> 20th International Teletraffic Congress (ITC20) http://www.itc20.ca 17-21 June 2007 For 50 years, the International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) has been the internationally prominent conference for experts involved with the application of teletraffic theory and engineering to state-of-the-art networks. We are pleased to announce the continuation of this tradition in the 20th International Teletraffic Congress (ITC-20), which will be held in Ottawa, Canada, on 17-21 June 2007. Attached is the call for papers. If your work is within the scope of the conference theme, we would like to encourage you to submit a paper to share your results in an international forum. We hope that you will include ITC-20 in your 2007 conference plan. Thank you and best regards, Prof. Lorne Mason McGill University, Montreal, Canada Co-Chair, ITC-20 Technical Program Committee Dr. Tadeusz Drwiega Nortel, Ottawa, Canada Co-Chair, ITC-20 Technical Program Committee Dr. James (Jim) Yan IAC Member for Canada Chair, ITC-20 Organizing Committee =========================================================== Call For Papers: ITC20 Important Dates: Paper submission: October 31, 2006 Notification of acceptance: January 31, 2007 Conference registration begins: February 21, 2007 Final manuscripts due: February 28, 2007 Network convergence is happening. Globally, major network operators have incorporated network convergence into their strategy to grow service revenues and reduce operating costs. Network convergence is multi-faceted. Convergence occurs in applications (integrated messaging, Voice over IP), in network control (portable numbers, SIP, Mobile IP), in the transport layer, as well as in the access network. In the transport layer, the operators' networks are evolving from multiple networks, each specialized for particular services and applications (Wireline, Wireless, Voice, Data, Signaling), towards single IP-based networks that can support existing and future services and applications. This convergence of networks means that various types of traffic flows, which have been carried by separate specialized networks, must now share the resources of a single network. In the access, for example, a broadband carrier may seek to add mobility to its service offerings by untethering the broadband access with WiFi and, later, WiMax technologies. On the other hand, a mobile carrier is more likely to add broadband to its existing mobility services through evolution to 3G architectures. Network convergence will be successful only if the quality of the individual services is maintained in the new network environment without undue increased costs. The quality of service delivery is critically dependent on how network performance and availability, as experienced by the traffic flows, are managed. Managing traffic performance is a critical enabler for success. Reaching the desired performance levels requires processes such as network planning, resource engineering, and network monitoring. Such processes have been successfully used in various types of service-specific networks. Converged networks, however, bring new challenges - novel architectures and technologies, new modes of sharing network resources, new quality targets for services and applications, new signaling and control protocols. The impact of multi-operator competition, on traffic demand forecasting, end-to-end QoS provisioning and pricing policies needs to be accounted for in a converged network architecture. To enable the success of convergence in the face of these centrifugal forces, networks need to be designed to be robust to uncertainty in the traffic demand patterns and to be resilient to failures. Such design objectives motivate interest in robust, resilient network architectures, adaptive resource management and control methods, traffic models of new services and applications, novel traffic engineering methods, revised forecasting techniques, and compatible network planning and design tools. For more that 50 years, the International Teletraffic Congress has brought together network operators, equipment vendors and academic researchers to share their knowledge on the use of quantitative modeling and analysis to plan, design and operate state-of-the-art network solutions. Network convergence is now the state-of-the art solution. In ITC-20, there will be stimulating discussions on traffic performance in converged networks. ITC20 seeks original paper contributions on recent research results, operational experiences and identification of key future issues in managing the traffic performance of converged networks. The papers should focus on the use of quantitative models, analysis and optimization methods to plan, design and manage converged networks. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following: Planning converged networks: § Case studies § Capacity planning methods and tools § Planning multi-carrier networks § Planning for robustness and reliability § Performance/reliability trade-offs § Network design for real-time applications § Planning efficient content delivery Quality of service in converged networks: § Performance and reliability targets of new web-based applications § Performance over wireless and wireline transport technologies § VoIP QoS in WiFi and WiMax environments § Pricing and quality of service provisioning Traffic management in converged networks: § Intelligent, adaptive routing § Probabilistic, opportunistic routing § Overload and congestion control § Dynamic/adaptive bandwidth management § Mobility management § Application and content traffic management § Traffic management through MPLS § Traffic management in ad-hoc networks § Detection of DoS attacks § Autonomic traffic management Traffic and performance monitoring, measurements and forecasting: § Traffic measurement and forecasting methods § Performance monitoring and measurement methods § Data analysis methods § Measurement-based characterization of new application traffic § Reports of measurement results of operational converged networks § Monitoring for self-control and self-management Analytical models and methods: § Source models of new web-based applications (e.g. multimedia, peer-to-peer) § Traffic models of voice, video and data applications § Queuing models for multi-media traffic § Resource allocation methods § Protocol performance models § Algorithms for self-optimization of resource allocation and traffic management Performance and planning of specialized networking: § Multicast networks § Networks for telemedicine and tele-education § Sensor networks § Network computing § Storage area networks Organizing Committee: David Hudson, Nortel, Executive Chair James Yan, IAC Member

Overlay networks combine and share the resources owned by "client" devices that are distributed around the Internet. Examples of such overlay environments include Peer-to-Peer Systems and Grids, but in general, any large-scale distributed system characterized by decentralization and sharing of resources can benefit from an overlay-based approach. The focus of this year's conference is on applications and the scalability, robustness, and security factors that enable mainstream deployment of peer-to-peer and grid services. We invite papers that reflect experience with practical applications of the current state of the art or that explore new application areas. We are particularly interested in large-scale, widely-deployed applications. Consistent with the previous occurrences of this conference, we promote a collaboration in research between academic institutions, government organizations, and business enterprises that are concerned with the research and implementation of peer-to-peer networks, grids, and large scale distributed systems. Topics ------ Any topic that relates to peer-to-peer systems, grids, and large-scale distributed systems or overlay networks is open for consideration. We would like to give special encouragement to reports of experience with applications, with particular emphasis on addressing deployment issues including scalability, robustness and security. Some of the suggested topics are: - P2P Applications and Services * P2P Storage and Content Distribution * P2P Databases and Warehouses - Security in P2P Systems * Authentication * Authorization * Key Management - Performance and robustness of P2P Systems * Replication * Result certification - Object Discovery and Information Retrieval in P2P Systems * Range queries and approximate queries * Hybrid P2P Systems - Self-organization and Stability of P2P Systems * Overlay performance in unstable states * Generalized types of churn - Trust Management in P2P Systems * Incentives * Reputation * Control - Overlay architectures and topologies * Random graphs and gossiping protocols * Hierarchic overlays * Interconnections and Federation of overlays * Topology-aware overlays * P2P over MANETS - P2P Economics * Business models * Incentive models and game theory - P2P Workload Characterization and Simulation Papers will undergo a thorough peer review process before acceptance for presentation.

You can review all calls at: http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2006/calls/ Important Dates and Deadlines: ============================== Submission Deadline: June 16, 2006 Acceptance Notification: July 14, 2006 Final Version Due: August 4, 2006 CALL FOR VIDEOS =============== Videos are increasingly becoming an integral part of the UbiComp conference series: they offer the chance to showcase emerging technologies, prototype systems, and new approaches to using ubiquitous computing. Videos are especially useful for illustrating complex systems and new interactions with systems in special environments that would not easily be presented as demonstrations at the conference. We encourage submission of videos both as new material and as supplementals to paper submissions (e.g., in order to illustrate particular aspects of a system). As with other submission categories, video submissions should not have been previously presented in any other formal video program. The video program will be shown at a special session at the conference, and will be published on a DVD and distributed to conference attendees (although copyright will be retained by the authors). A panel of international reviewers will review videos for their technical content, interest, and relevance to the ubiquitous computing community. Other important review aspects will be the video's communication effectiveness and production quality. Accepted electronic submission formats are: MPEG1 and MPEG2, AVI file with MPEG4 (DivX codecs) and Apple QuickTime with high resolution. MPEG2 format is strongly encouraged. For other electronic formats and for tape formats please contact the video chairs in advance. Video submissions should be 4 to 8 minutes long. Longer videos will be subject to stricter review criteria. Rough videos in progress will be considered, but will (if tentatively accepted) be subject to a second review process after final production. If the video is accepted, a high quality format, suitable for DVD production, will be required for the final version. In addition to submitting a video file, authors must also submit a short paper with a maximum of 2 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications formathttp://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html), including all figures and references, for each video submission (though you don't need to leave space for the copyright notice). This should include the title, authors, affiliations and an abstract of no more than 150 words. Papers of accepted videos will be published in the Adjunct Proceedings that will be circulated to attendees at the conference; they will not be incorporated into the main UbiComp 2006 Conference Proceedings. Video submissions and corresponding papers should be uploaded to an FTP server; contact the Video Chairs via email for more detailed instructions on how to access the server. Please do NOT send video files as an email attachment under any circumstances! Contacts: ========= UbiComp2006 Video Co-chairs Louise Barkhuus Marc Langheinrich Formats accepted: ================ MPEG (MPEG1 and MPEG2), AVI with MPEG4, QuickTime files Submission Templates: ===================== Abstract Page limit: 2 pages (ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, no need for the copyright notice though): http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html Important Dates and Deadlines: ============================== Submission Deadline: June 16, 2006 Acceptance Notification: July 14, 2006 Final Version Due: July 21, 2006 CALL FOR DEMOS ============== The Ubicomp conference’s Demonstrations Program offers an excellent way to showcase tangible results of ubiquitous computing research and development to over 500 attendees from academia and industry. A successful demo communicates ideas and concepts in a powerful way that a regular presentation cannot. We invite you to contribute your vision of the ubicomp experience to the Demonstrations Program at the UbiComp 2006 conference. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussion about issues within the field of ubiquitous computing. We seek proposals for demonstrations of ubiquitous computing technologies across the full milieu of everyday life: office, home, street, park, train, automobile, bedroom, bathroom, work, play, desktop, handheld, worn, public, private, community, individual, shared, and personal. We welcome a wide range of submission from scenarios involving innovative solutions of focused tasks as well as playful pursuits. Reviewing: ========== All submissions will be peer-reviewed to ensure a high quality demonstrations program. Each demonstration will be reviewed by at least two members of the demonstration review committee. In an electronic discussion, the committee will make final decisions on which submissions to accept. Proposals will be judged on their relevance for the ubicomp community, level of innovation, technical merit, conceptual contribution and the potential to include participation by conference attendees. Furthermore, to make a successful demo submission, you need to have a strategy to present visitors the main points in a short time. You must also convince the committee that you are capable of installing and running the demo at the conference. Demonstrations do not have the same requirements on originality as papers and posters. It is acceptable to submit a demonstration even if the main points have been published at the UbiComp conference (including this year) or elsewhere. However, the demonstration format should still add significantly to any previous presentations. To make it easier to judge this, you must provide a complete history of previous presentations of the submitted work and work directly related to it. A demonstration is not the right forum to promote commercial products. In this case, please instead consider becoming a sponsor or exhibitor. Submission Requirements: ======================== A demonstration submission requires two parts: A demonstration abstract that describes the technology being exhibited and discusses the novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches it brings to the ubiquitous computing community. The demonstration abstract will be published in the Conference Supplement and should therefore be self-contained. It should be a maximum of 2 pages, in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, including all figures and references. Please make sure that your submitted abstract complies to all the formatting guidelines and is ready for publication, since there will be no time to make major revisions. A demonstration supplement that details how the demo will be executed in practice, and how visitors will interact with it during the conference. The interaction can be described in the form of a short usage scenario, storyboard sketch, screenshots, illustrations, photos, and/or video documentation. The demonstration supplement should also include the various technical requirements such as preferred setting, space, power, networking, lighting, acoustical, and other special equipment. A demonstration supplement submission template is available at the bottom of this webpage. Demonstration supplement materials are for the purposes of review only and will not be published. A template for demonstration supplements is provided below. Your submission should be sent as a single PDF file to the following address: demos-2006(a)ubicomp.org. The subject line should read: UbiComp Demo Submission - NAME OF MAIN CONTACT. The name of the attached file should similarly be: NAME OF MAIN CONTACT.pdf. Links to additional material (videos, etc.) should be included both in the mail and in the supplement. Upon Acceptance: ================ You will be required to install your demonstration in the conference venue on September 17, and have it packed away by the end of the conference, on September 21. You are required to have your demonstration up and running throughout the Demonstrations and Poster Reception. In addition, we strongly encourage you to have your demo staffed and available throughout the conference, especially during breaks. The conference will at minimum provide a space for your demo, a table and chairs, and a power connection. If you need any special equipment you should provide that yourself, including projectors, audio amplification, wireless LAN, etc. Please specify all needs in your demonstration supplement so that we can plan the demo area accordingly.

Important Dates and Deadlines: ============================== Submission Deadline: June 16, 2006 Acceptance Notification: July 14, 2006 Final Version Due: August 4, 2006 CALL FOR POSTERS ================ The Posters category provides researchers with an opportunity to present work in a forum that facilitates open discussion, and enables authors to interact directly with conference attendees. In the Posters category, we encourage the submission of late-breaking, preliminary, or exploratory work, smaller projects or results not suitable for a full paper, and any other research that authors wish to present in an interactive, open forum. Poster submissions should include an extended abstract of no longer than 2 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, including all figures and references. Submissions may also include an optional single page describing or illustrating the proposed poster. This page is should convey to reviewers visual aspects of the poster that may not come across in the abstract, for example including a key graphic to be used in the poster. This supplemental page is for review purposes only and will not be published. Accepted 2-page Poster abstracts will be published in a Conference Supplement that will be distributed to attendees at the conference; they will not be incorporated into the main UbiComp 2006 Conference Proceedings.
