-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers: IEEE/Create-Net TridentCom 2006 Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 11:14:13 -0400 From: Eylem Ekici <ekici(a)ece.osu.edu> Reply-To: ekici(a)ece.osu.edu Organization: Ohio State University To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers IEEE/Create-Net TridentCom 2006 Second International IEEE/Create-Net Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks and Communities March 1-3, 2006 Barcelona, Spain http://www.tridentcom.org Sponsored by the IEEE ComSoc, IEEE, Create-Net and the International Communication Sciences and Technology Association (ICST) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Telecommunication infrastructures play a vital role in modern society. The advancements in the range of network service offerings, their performance, quality of service, security, and ubiquity are relentless, despite global economy fluctuations. The demand for high bandwidth network infrastructures is continuously growing within both academic and industrial sectors. Grid computing is one of the many examples of the new emerging paradigm of networking characterized by huge data traffic flows, that require an extremely high-performance network infrastructure. The need of high speed is emerging also in mobile, wireless network environments, where new wireless technologies promise data rates above 100 Mbps. Other high bandwidth network examples include community access networks, on demand optical networks and the Next Generation Internet. To meet these challenges, experimental activities on infrastructures, such as testing, verification, deployment, are pivotal for academic researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users. The management of research infrastructures is increasingly dependent on a business model that optimizes their operational price/performance ratio. For example, access to experimental infrastructures for real-life applications by specific user communities would benefit all the stakeholders involved: the end users, because of the experimental evaluation of the provided services, the researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the knowledge gained from case-study analysis, and the infrastructure managers, because of the business exploitation of the network. The synergies created by opening research infrastructures to real life users offer all parties involved an enormous development potential, which needs to be thoroughly investigated and discussed. Tridentcom brings together all aspects related to experimental telecommunication infrastructures, creating a forum where telecommunication networks researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, requirements, needs, visions for the establishment of such infrastructures. Research on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management will find in Tridentcom its primary forum for focused discussion. High quality papers reporting on original research and on experiment results addressing the above areas are solicited for submission. The main topics of the conference are: * Next Generation Internet Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network Testbeds * Wireless Sensor Testbeds * Testbed Operation & Management for User Communities * Testbed Operation & Management for Research Communities * Testbed Cooperation & Integration * Innovative Measurements Methodologies & Tools * Traffic Measurements Testbeds * Software Tools to Support Distributed Testbeds / Virtual Laboratories * Management of Massive Databases of Experimental Data * Knowledge & Technology Transfer Procedures * Security (AAA) Testing on Open Testbeds * Social Impacts of Infrastructures * Infrastructure Real-Life Applications * Business Models for Infrastructure Budgeting & Planning * Infrastructure Renting & Pricing Policies * Vendors & Providers Partnerships Best testbeds papers with a focus on communication software will be considered for publication in a planned Feature Topic of IEEE Communication Magazine, co-edited by Kazem Sohraby and Algirdas Pakstas. Important Dates: --------------------------------------------------- Full papers due August 31, 2005 Notification of acceptance October 31, 2005 Camera-ready manuscript due November 30, 2005 Early registration deadline January 30, 2006 Conference date March 1-3, 2006 --------------------------------------------------- Best Testbed Award: ------------------- A Best Testbed Award will be assigned to the research infrastructure that will best implement the open infrastructure model, so that to offer the greatest valuable service to the public, and the most sustainable business model to the infrastructure managers.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Call for Papers: High Speed Networking Workshop: The Terabits Challenge (in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2006)]
by Lars Wolf 15 Aug '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers: High Speed Networking Workshop: The Terabits Challenge (in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2006) Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 13:32:29 -0500 From: 'Byrav Ramamurthy' <byrav(a)cse.unl.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers and Participation HIGH SPEED NETWORKING WORKSHOP: THE TERABITS CHALLENGE Sponsored By: IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking, US Department of Energy In Conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2006 Barcelona, Spain, April 24, 2006 Website: http://www.ece.tntech.edu/nghani/infocom The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing recent advances in ultra high-speed and high-performance networks. With the continued technological advances, these new generation networks are expected to deliver unprecedented bandwidths, ranging from terabits/sec in the core to multiple gigabits/sec to the edge. This workshop will focus on various aspects of ultra high-speed network infrastructures including their role in enabling distributed large-scale science applications. In particular, the e-science applications have already demonstrated the need for agile networks operating well beyond 100 Gbps now, and will require sustained terabits/sec throughputs by the end of decade. Furthermore, the need for ultra high-speed networks is also emerging in a wide spectrum of application domains as diverse as entertainment, energy, banking, defense and medicine. In the past, there have been several attempts to address the bandwidth-intensive applications by deploying larger capacities in the core networks. However, experience indicates that simply scaling the core capacity does not necessarily result in a commensurate increase in end-to-end application throughputs. Indeed, the ability of existing network technologies, especially transport protocols, routing, traffic engineering and network provisioning to scale to the terabits/sec range remains a challenge. It is here that the emerging ultra high-speed networking technologies offer great opportunities along with unprecedented challenges. A key goal of this workshop is to explore approaches for meeting these challenges, particularly within the context of broader e-science applications. These topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: Group A: Ultra High-Speed Networks Innovative and agile terabits network architectures End-to-end performance issues Host systems issues including bus and OS Switching technologies including packet, burst and circuit switching Ultra high-speed transport protocols Ultra high-speed cyber security systems Dynamic provisioning in ultra high-speed optical networks Control and signaling plane technologies (GMPLS, UNI, NNI, etc.) High-performance network middleware Experimental deployment of high-capacity optical networks Traffic engineering for ultra high-speed networks Free-space high-capacity optical networks Group B: Ultra High-Speed Applications Prototyping high-end applications for ultra high-speed environments Data transfers over long distances High-speed I/O and storage systems Remote visualizations and tele-instrumentations Distributed access to supercomputing facilities Remote computational monitoring and steering SESSIONS ======== Presentations are planned to be grouped into the following topical sessions: Ultra high-speed transport protocols Terabits network provisioning Ultra high-speed traffic engineering/resource management Control and management planes Distributed high-end e-science applications Applications requiring terabit networks Cyber-security aspects of terabit networks SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===================== Authors are encouraged to submit a one-page abstract by February 17, 2006.

Its already-high demand is even on the rise as the Internet users have started to be familiar with peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies which enable them to share contents between one another directly. Streaming in the P2P manner, in contrast to the traditional client/server approach, takes advantage of existing end-system computational and networking resources, thus allowing economical clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire service community. However, multimedia content is resource demanding while user computing devices are not as powerful as are content servers. Consequently, designing a good decentralized streaming scheme in a large-scale peer-to-peer environment is challenging. The problem becomes more of a challenge due to the ad hoc behavior of peers; they can leave and join the system freely at any time. As people tend to work beyond their office desk, it is also expected that the next generation of communication networks includes rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly without any networking infrastructure such as the Internet and infrastructure-based wireless LANs. In other words, the users form a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). As multimedia streaming becomes an integrated part of an increasing number of applications and wireless networks are emerging to dominate the communication environment of the future, it is interesting and worthwhile to investigate multimedia streaming solutions for MANETs. There are many open issues regarding this investigation due to the deviation between the resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service desired by multimedia streaming users. This special session seeks original contributions of high-quality papers that address novel systems challenges towards the success of multimedia streaming deployment in peer-to-peer, content distribution, and wireless ad hoc networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Signal processing/compression/information theories to support ad hoc multimedia streaming * Modeling, measurement, and performance study on ad hoc multimedia streaming * Internet P2P multimedia streaming * P2P multimedia content distribution networks * Ad hoc overlay solutions for multimedia streaming * Live streaming, video on demand, and video conferencing in wireless ad hoc networks * Network and transport protocols for streaming in wireless ad hoc networks * Management, QoS, and security aspects in streaming over wireless ad hoc networks * Streaming applications in sensor networks * Implementations of multimedia streaming in ad hoc networks Important Dates Paper submission deadline: August 29, 2005 Notification of acceptance: September 30, 2005 Camera-ready version due: October 14, 2005 Special Session Co-Chairs Thinh Nguyen, Oregon State University (thinhq(a)eecs.orst.edu) Duc A. Tran, University of Dayton (duc.tran(a)notes.udayton.edu) Pascal Frossard, EPFL (pascal.frossard(a)epfl.ch) Information for Authors Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers in PS or PDF format to one of the co-chairs via electronic mail. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished work, and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. The first page of the paper should include the authors' names, affiliations, fax/telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The first page should also include a less-than-200-word abstract. The camera-ready version for an accepted paper will be no more than 6 pages in IEEE double-column standard format.

WSNs are characterized by a need to carefully integrate functionalities traditionally considered to be separate in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, a close interaction of research from different backgrounds is required. Additionally, WSNs are evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, e.g., because actuators in the network have to be supported. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging, miniaturization * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, mobility support, gateways to fixed Internet, providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Operating systems and programming abstractions: novel concepts and tools for programming and debugging sensor nodes, high-level programming abstractions * Middleware and service infrastructures: configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, QoS support, localization and synchronization services, integrating WSN in existing middleware architectures * Information processing: querying, coding, compression, fusion, aggregation, event detection, classification, tracking * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Novel applications: requirements, experiences with real-world applications; the role of WSNs in realizing the visions of Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds, debugging and testing * Models: energy and resource consumption, applications, mobility, and communication For further information, please visit the workshop website (http://www.ewsn.org) or contact the program chairs at <pcchairs(a)ewsn.org>.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Multimedia Service Composition (MSC 05)]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Multimedia Service Composition (MSC 05) Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 11:26:30 -0400 From: Xiaohui Gu <xiaohui(a)us.ibm.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Multimedia Service Composition (MSC05) Singapore, November 13, 2005 http://www.l3s.de/msc05/index.html AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------- Service-oriented architectures promise to introduce a maximum of flexibility and reus-ability of components into multimedia applications. Since most multimedia applications consist of several complex steps, the composition of basic services to achieve more com-plex goals is a mission critical problem. Moreover, important parameters for QoS have to be closely monitored and aggregated along the service chains to predict or guarantee certain values for the execution of complex workflows. Service composition is also a concept strongly discussed and researched in the Web community today. Web services are expected to take over an essential part of everydays responsibilities and their composition is necessary to extend their benefits to even com-plex tasks and value chains. However, most of these Web-based concepts and constructs today suffer from being generally invariant to data types including the new datatypes that are being heavily explored in the multimedia community. Using these well-understood and standardized datatypes the efficient provisioning and improved reusability of compo-nents becomes feasible. Thus, the move from data-driven to service-driven architectures promises to open up a whole new field of value adding multimedia applications dynami-cally built on top of basic components. MSC05 provides a forum for presenting new challenges and research results in multime-dia service composition. Its predecessor was held in the framework of the Brave New Topics (see www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_braveMMservice.htm) at ACM Multimedia Conference 2004 in New York, USA. We invite researchers, and industrial practitioners to participate and share their knowledge in this forum.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP -- IEEE JSAC Sampling The Internet: Techniques and Applications]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP -- IEEE JSAC Sampling The Internet: Techniques and Applications Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 14:16:07 +0100 From: Iannaccone, Gianluca <gianluca.iannaccone(a)intel.com> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. All information can be found at http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/sampling_internet.html. Deadline for manuscript submission: OCTOBER 1, 2005. ======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications SAMPLING THE INTERNET: TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS Scope As the Internet continues to grow rapidly in size and complexity, it has become increasingly clear that its evolution is closely tied to a detailed understanding of network traffic. Network traffic measurements are invaluable for a wide range of tasks such as network capacity planning, traffic engineering, fault diagnosis, application and protocol performance profiling, and anomaly detection. This large and diverse set of applications raises the question of how to monitor the Internet in an efficient and scalable way. In the case of active monitoring (where probe packets are sent across the network to infer specific properties) the scalability issue arises from the size of the Internet and the potentially large number of end systems that one needs to instrument, as well as the number of probing experiments that one must conduct. Intuitively, sampling is an essential component of scalable Internet monitoring. Broadly speaking, sampling is the process of making partial observations of a system of interest, and drawing conclusions about the full behaviour of the system from these limited observations. The observation problem is concerned with minimising information loss whilst reducing the volume of collected data. It is this reduction that makes the collection process scalable. The way in which the partial information is transformed into knowledge of the system as a whole is the inversion problem. The inversion is in general imperfect and error-prone. The aim of this issue is to bring together work from researchers and practitioners devoted to the understanding of the practical and theoretical issues related to all aspects of sampling the Internet. In this context, sampling may take various forms. A classic example is to observe only a subset of the packets carried over a link, and then estimate traffic parameters which apply to all packets. Alternatively, one could target a subset of routers with packet probes in order to infer network characteristics such as the topology or routing matrix. Examples abound from a wide variety of application areas within Internet measurement, management, and analysis. Independent of subject area, papers will be in scope if they focus substantially on the sampling aspects of the problem under study, for example by exploring the tradeoff between observation and inversion processes, revealing the limitations of inversion techniques, analysing their properties, or proposing new ones, or by providing new insights by explicitly recognizing the impact of implicit sampling in many measurement studies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sampling and inverting traffic metrics with passive or active systems. - Internet end-to-end measurements seen from a sampling standpoint. - Sampling aspects of network topology inference. - Impact of sampling on anomaly detection. - Mechanisms for sampling live Internet traffic or collected traces. - Theoretical studies of the sampling/inversion problem (e.g., accuracy, complexity). - Distributed and adaptive sampling techniques. - New sampling methods. Submission guidelines Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via email to jsac-sampling at sophia.inria.fr according to the following timetable: Manuscript submission: October 1, 2005 Acceptance notification: March 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: June 1, 2006 Publication: 4th quarter 2006 Guest Editors Chadi Barakat INRIA Planète group 2004, route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia Antipolis France Chadi.Barakat at sophia.inria.fr Gianluca Iannaccone Intel Research 15 JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0FD United Kingdom gianluca.iannaccone at intel.com Jim Kurose Department of Computer Science University of Massachusetts Amherst MA 01003 United States kurose at cs.umass.edu Darryl Veitch CUBIN (ARC Special Research Ctr) Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering University of Melbourne Victoria 3010 Australia dveitch at unimelb.edu.au _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

Held in even-numbered years since 1988, NOMS 2006 > will follow the 18 year tradition of NOMS and IM as the > primary forum for technical exchange of the research, > standards, development, systems integration, service > provider, and user communities. NOMS 2006 will present > up-to-date approaches and technical solutions for > integrated systems and services including communication > networks, host systems, enterprise applications, service > oriented architectures, and delivery of management services. > The conference provides a peer-reviewed program of technical > sessions, application sessions, tutorials, posters, and > panels as well as vendor exhibits. > > Integrated systems and services require considerations for > today’s multi-service and multi-domain environment of > heterogeneous technologies, service offerings, management > strategies, and business models. NOMS 2006 focuses on > integrated management that encompasses provisioning, > operation, and maintenance. This broad scope also calls > for an integrated approach to dependability, resilience, > quality-of-service, mobility management, and services > billing. In particular, these considerations include the > combination of wireless and wired networks and the > integration of all-IP communication systems. > > NOMS 2006 will offer five types of sessions: > technical, application, poster, panel, and BoF. Technical > sessions present high-quality papers on the latest > research results in the network operations and management > area. Application sessions present papers focusing on the > experience of IT and telecommunications industries, such > as service providers, OSS vendors, and equipment > manufacturers. The scope here includes customer > requirements, management system implementations, and > business practices. Poster sessions provide an insight > into work-in-progress. Panel sessions focus on business > implications, market trends, and emerging applications > with panelists who are technology and business leaders. > > Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers > that are not under review in any other conference or > journal in the following, or related topic areas: > > Management Paradigms, Models and Architectures > * Self-managing networks (self-healing, self-optimizing, > self-protecting and self-configuring) > * Integrated control and management > * Distributed and scalable management > * Policy and role based management > * Programmable, active, and adaptive mgmt > * Resilience and survivability > * "Plug-n-Play" component-based management > * Customer controlled and managed networks > * Proactive and reactive management > > Operation and Management Functions > * Security management > * Mobility management > * End-to-end measurements > * Network and systems monitoring > * Alarm correlation and filtering > * Customer care and workforce management > * Process engineering for operators' service and > network management > * Performance and fault management > * Configuration and accounting management > * Integration and testing of commercial off-the-shelf > products > * Content hosting and delivery > * Path Protection and Restoration > * Internet service pricing, Bandwidth trading > , Service > Engineering and Operational Challenges > * Next generation operation support systems > * Service design and quality assurance > * Resource inventory, planning, and allocation > * Service discovery and service negotiation > * SLAs and business process management > * Quality-of-Service management > * Service portability/mobility (VHE) > * Transaction-oriented services and supply chain > management > * "Soft" networks (Soft-switch, Parlay, 3GPP OSA, JAIN) > and service switching > * Dynamic service requirements analysis > * Charging and accounting of integrated systems > and services > > Theories, Models, and Enabling Management Technologies > * Theory (control, optimization, economic, games, chaos, > graph) for management > * Grid, middleware and peer-to-peer technologies > * Information models and Internet technologies > (Web, XML, DEN, CIM) > * AI techniques (knowledge-based, intelligent agents, > machine learning, neural networks,) > * Data warehousing, ontology, mining and statistical > methods in management > * User interfaces and virtual reality in management > * > Management of Emerging Networks and Services > * Converged networks and services > * Peer-to-peer and community networks > * Grids, grid services, and grid applications > * Ad hoc and self-configurable networks > * Multi-sensor and self-organizing networks > * Overlay networks, virtual topologies and VPN services > * Wireless broadband networks (2G, 2.5G, 3G, and beyond) > * High speed access, Wireless Local (WLANs) and Personal > Area Networks (PANs) > * Optical networks (metropolitan, all optical, WDM, > DWDM, optical IP) > * Video and broadband cable networks > * VoIP, VoD, FTTX networks, services, and protocols > (IPv4, IPv6, H.323, SIP, RTP, RTCP, RTSP, MGCP, and QoS) > * Storage Area Networks (SAN) and ASPs server farms > * Web services and content delivery networks > * Smart homes and networked haptics > * Satellite and interplanetary networks > * e-World (e-health, e-commerce, e-business, and e-government) > > > Important Dates: > * Deadline for Technical Session Papers: 1 August > 2005 > * Deadline for Application Session Papers: 15 September 2005 > * Deadline for Tutorials, Panels and Posters: 15 September 2005 > * Notification of Acceptance: 12 November > 2005 > * Final Camera Ready Papers Due: 1 February > 2006 > > > For more information on NOMS 2006, please contact one of the > two Program Co-chairs: > > Joseph L.
