-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP-"Next Generation Networking Middleware", NGNM'05; 6 May 2005, Waterloo Ontario, Canada Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 19:15:09 +0200 From: Kormentzas Georgios <gkorm(a)aegean.gr> To: Kormentzas Georgios <gkorm(a)aegean.gr> [My apologies if you receive this more than once] ================================================ *2^nd International WORKSHOP on** ‘Next Generation Networking Middleware’ **(NGNM05)* * */*in the scope of */‘Networking 2005’, 4^th IFIP – TC6 Networking Conference (http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/networking2005/ <http://www.ece.ntua.gr/networking2004/>) *Date*: May, 6^th 2005 *Venue*: Waterloo Ontario, Canada * **IMPORTANT DATES* - Submission of papers: March 20, 2005 - Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2005 - Camera-ready due: April 15, 2005 Scope ====== Networking middleware is the software that integrates applications, the underlying operating systems, network protocol stacks, and hardware. Towards this end, it provides a set of common services and abstractions that enable applications and end-users to exchange information across heterogeneous distributed networking environments. Next-generation applications will be increasingly developed using middleware. This poses several challenges, such as hiding latency, masking partial failures, providing information assurance and security, legacy integration, dynamic service partitioning and load balancing and end-to-end quality of service specification and enforcement. As middleware gains widespread adoption, it becomes essential to investigate, and to capture, the basics and the methodologies of middleware technologies. Middleware technologies, such as CORBA, Java, EJB, Jini and Web Services, became increasingly popular for building both embedded and enterprise applications. A new generation of middleware technologies (so-called vertical, or Internet middleware technologies) is beginning to emerge to solve the problems of interoperability and integration across language, operating system and hardware platform boundaries. The realization of an Internet middleware could dramatically reduce the cost of integration both within and among enterprises and dramatically reduce time-to-market for some types of software, as service re-use becomes a realistic possibility. The underlying technologies for Internet middleware are the familiar industry standard Internet protocols (i.e., IP, TCP, HTTP, SMTP, and others). Support for Web Services standards - like SOAP, WSDL and UDDI - based on XML message formats is layered upon Internet protocols to provide platform-neutral communications between applications. These are then viewed as business services. Before such services can be deployed on a large scale, issues for licensing, usage, billing, versioning and delivery to contracted levels of service performance, need to be addressed. NGNM04 constituted a forum for the discussion of innovations and recent advances in the design and construction of Internet middleware. Both the requirements and expectations from various perspectives (i.e., networking, middleware and application level) were presented and analyzed. The special issue on “Emerging Middleware for Next Generation Networks” of Computer Communications journal complemented the success of NGNM04. NGNM05 will focus on the identification of composite business services running on an Internet middleware platform that allows enterprises/networking actors to publish the services they provide, use services available globally in a secure manner as components of a generic middleware service, automatically compile the service description into an executable process, to deploy and monitor the execution of such composite processes, etc.The middleware platform will contain re-configuration and self-repairing features to enable a composite business service to adapt itself to changes caused by insertion or withdrawal of services, changes in network conditions and changes in user requirements. Relevant topics ---------------- Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished works as well as works on progress in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Standards and APIs Formal methods and tools for middleware systems Middleware for Web services and Web service composition Platforms for cluster, grid and peer-to-peer computing Benchmarking and comparison of middleware platforms Event-based, publish/subscribe and message-oriented middleware Middleware for ubiquitous and mobile computing Reconfigurable, adaptable, autonomic and reflective middleware Programmable, active and adaptive networks Programmable, mobile and intelligent agents "Plug-and-Play" Components-Based management Emerging information models and frameworks Interworking between heterogeneous middleware technologies Software engineering for middleware Security and performance aspects of middleware ** *INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION* ---------------- The workshop welcomes original and review papers from academic and industry contributors dealing with the above or related issues. All submissions will be subjected to review by two reviewers. Papers should be up to 6000 words in English, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. To submit a paper, send an email to Prof. George Kormentzas (gkorm(a)aegean.gr), containing the title, the authors' names, e-mail and post addresses, phone and fax numbers, identification of the contact author, and attach to the same message your paper in PDF or PostScript format. The paper must start with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. All the accepted papers will be published in the workshop’s proceedings. Furthermore, as it happened with NGNM04, some selected papers will be extended in order to be considered for publication in a forthcoming special issue of a journal related to the workshop’s goals. *WORKSHOP CHAIRS * Nikos Anerousis, IBM, USA George Kormentzas, University of the Aegean, Greece *PROGRAMME COMMITTEE* Toufik Ahmed, University of Bordeaux, France Maria Teresa Andrade, INESC Porto, Portugal Hamid Asgari, TRT, UK Eugen Borcoci, Transilvania University, Romania Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada Abdellatif Benjelloun-Toumi, France Telecom, France David Hutchison, Lancaster University, UK Chuck Kalmanek, ATT, USA Alexander Keller, IBM, USA Wolfgang Kellerer, DoCoMo Europe, Germany Alexander Konstantinou, IBM, USA Nick Koudas, ATT, USA Michael Kounavis, Intel, USA Maria Koutsopoulou, University of Athens, Greece Antonio Liotta, University of Surrey, UK Thomas Magedanz, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany Ahmed Mehaoua, University of Versailles, France George Pavlou, University of Surrey, UK Thimios Panagos Voicemate, USA Evaggelos Pallis, University of Crete, Greece Dimitris Pendarakis, IBM, USA Christos Politis, University of Surrey, UK Prashant Pradhan, IBM, USA Martin Stiemerling, NEC Europe Ltd, Germany Noemi Simoni, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, France John Soldatos, AIT, Greece Gosia Steinder, IBM, USA Evaggelos Vayias, Intracom, Greece Iakovos Venieris, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Michael Welzl, University of Innsburg, Austria

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] SIGCOMM workshops: Announcement and Call for papers Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2005 20:14:31 -0500 (EST) From: Saswati Sarkar <swati(a)seas.upenn.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu SIGCOMM Workshops, August 22-26, 2005, Philadelphia, USA This year, SIGCOMM 2005 continues its expanded scope with significant emphasis on workshops. We solicit papers and participation for the following one-day workshops, that will be held in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2005 from August 22 - August 26, 2005 in Philadelphia, PA, US. For a detailed description of the workshops and submission guidelines, visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2005/workshops.html 1. Workshop on mining network data (MineNet-05) Todays IP networks are extensively instrumented for collecting a wealth of information including traffic traces (e.g., packet or flow level traces), control (e.g., router forwarding tables, BGP and OSPF updates), and management (e.g., alarms, SNMP traps) data. The real challenge is to process and analyze this vast amount of primarily unstructured information and extract structures, relationships, and higher level knowledge embedded in it and use it to aid network management and operations. The goal of this one day workshop is to explore new directions in network data collection, storage, and analysis techniques, and their application to network monitoring, management, and remediation. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds, including networking, data mining, machine learning, and statistics, to get together and collaboratively approach this problem from their respective vantage points. 2. Workshop on experimental approaches to wireless network design and analysis (E-WIND-05) Research in wireless networking is rapidly becoming more experimental. Research prototypes are being developed for systems ranging from large-scale sensor networks to high-speed wireless access networks. Moreover experimentation and measurement studies are being performed with off-the-shelf hardware and operational testbeds. The goal of this workshop is to bring together experimentalist researchers from diverse backgrounds including wireless hardware platforms, wireless communications, wireless testbeds, and measurement of deployed wireless systems. The workshop will provide a forum for exchange of ideas, challenges, and work-in-progress discussions between both the wireless and wireline measurement communities. The workshop will leave a large space to discussion and possible coordination. 3. Workshop on delay tolerant networking and related networks (WDTN-05) Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. It has scaled well beyond the original plan of its designers, and the Internet Protocol has been carried on a great number of underlying protocols, including itself. However, the Internet's protocol architecture suffers some problems when implemented on classes of networks for which it was not originally designed. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common, or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop, we wish to explore physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also requested. 4. Workshop on economics of peer-to-peer systems (P2PECON-05) From file-sharing to distributed computation, from application layer overlays to mobile ad hoc networking, the ultimate success of a peer-to-peer system rests on the twin pillars of scalable and robust system design and alignment of economic interests among the participating peers. Following the success of the first two workshops, the Third Workshop on Economics of Peer-to-Peer Systems will again bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the economic characteristics of P2P systems, application of economic theories to P2P system design, and future directions and challenges in this area. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ACF-Members: CFP- "Context Aware Networks" : CANET'05 ; 5 July 2005, Paris, France Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 10:34:56 +0000 From: Alex Galis <a.galis(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> To: : CC: Ahmed Karmouch <karmouch(a)site.uottawa.ca>, Alex Galis <a.galis(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> Dear All Would you and your colleagues be so kind as to consider the enclosed call for papers (i.e. deadline 25th March 2005) for the International Workshop on Context Aware Networks, Technologies and Applications - CANET'05; 5 July 2005, Paris, France Thank you in advance. Best Regards Alex Galis [My apologies if you receive this more than once] ================================================ International Workshop on Context Aware Networks- Technologies and Applications - CANET'05 www.ee.ucl.ac.uk/~nsg/conferences/context05/ Held in conjunction with 5th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context, July 5, 2005 - Paris, France http://context-05.org/ Scope ====== Context-aware networking enables new types of applications and services in ambient environments. These applications can help users react positively to unexpected events such as emergency situations, acquire value-added services, receive messages in the most useful and suitable manner, or obtain compensation when planned activities are changed or delayed. Exploiting network-related context information can make mobile communication networks simpler, more efficient, and more powerful. For instance, mobility management can benefit from context information about the current position and direction of a vehicle, which could be provided by a navigation system connected to a vehicular area network, and information about wireless access possibilities in the then-known geographical area to improve its handover operations. Other examples are delaying the transmission of an email over an expensive connection when context information predicts the availability of a cheap hot-spot connection to be reached in the near future. This view of context management differs from the traditional focus on user preferences regarding applications and services; it rather takes a network-centric view: Protocols, not applications, adapt themselves based on context information. The aim of the workshop is to provide a unique opportunity for researchers, software and application developers, and computer network technologists to discuss new developments on the context aware mobile and ambient networks technologies and applications. Relevant topics ---------------- . Papers describing original research, surveys and applications in the following areas are solicited: . Context aware platforms and architecture for Ambient Networks. . Context in Grids systems and architectures. . Context Ontologies for Grids. . Context Identification, Retrieval and Management in Services and Networks . Provisioning, Maintenance and Management of Quality of Context. . Context Ontologies for Ambient Networks. . Context in Peer-to-Peer Networks and Services . Context in Autonomic Communications. . Context aware Self- adapting, Self-configurable, Self-Management Networks and Grids. . Autonomic Context aware communications and systems management. . Programmable Context aware Networks and Services. . Security, Trust and Privacy in Context sensitive Communications. . Context in Content Oriented Network & Service Management. . Context in Sensors Networks and Services. . Implementation and experiences with context aware networking infrastructure and components Important Dates ---------------- Submissions due: 25th March 2005 Acceptance notification: 15th April 2005 Camera-ready papers received: 30th April 2005 Program on line: 5th May 2005 +++++++++ posted to acf-members by Alex Galis <a.galis(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> +++++++++

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ICEC] International Forum on 'Less is more - Simple Computing in an Age of Complexity' - 27-28 April 2005 Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2005 10:21:46 -0000 From: Marco Combetto <marcomb(a)microsoft.com> To: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> Dears ICEC subscribers, This mail is about a call for abstracts that *Microsoft Research Cambridge* is organizing. The deadline for abstracts is the 15 Feb. Best Regards Marco Combetto Research Program Manager External Research Office Microsoft Research Limited mobile +39 348 224 7008 marcomb(a)microsoft.com <mailto:marcomb@microsoft.com> *TITLE:* International Forum on ‘Less is more - Simple Computing in an Age of Complexity’ - 27–28 April 2005 *DESCRIPTION:* OVERVIEW: Computers continue to become smaller, cheaper, more powerful, ubiquitous and more diverse and yet for many computing is still associated with the desktop device. As a consequence, the potential of computing to shape, improve and change the social, cultural and creative fabric of society is limited. This Forum seeks to understand how computing will be able to affect the way we all live, work, learn and play. By thinking about computing for all rather than some, for the old as well as the young, for those in remote locations as well as those centrally located, and by designing for those with needs very different from those of our own, the Forum hopes to help define how computing and computers could become a ‘natural resource’ for any and all, wherever they and whatever they do. Achieving this will require not just a shift in people’s perceptions, of course, but radical changes in the design of computing which the Forum also wants to define: from the WIMP interface to ‘applianceness’, from mains-powered to wind-up, from the office to robotic, from graphical to tangible. CALL FOR PARTECIPATION: We are inviting you to send in an abstract of your paper (maximum 1000 words) for presentation at the Forum. It is required that each accepted paper be presented at the conference by one of its authors. Paper abstracts and papers can be sent online via https://msrcmt.research.microsoft.com/LessIsMore2005/. In case of questions related to the submission of papers and paper abstracts, please mail camlim(a)microsoft.com. Informal proceedings consisting of the accepted paper abstracts will be distributed at the conference. Accepted paper abstracts will be invited after the conference for a full paper to appear in the formal proceedings. These are planned to be published as a volume in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (subject to their approval). All such full papers will be reviewed before being accepted for publication. *Program committee* * Michel Beaudouin-Lafon, Université Paris-Sud – France * Alan Blackwell, University of Cambridge – UK * Luca Chittaro, University of Udine – Italy * Gillian Crampton Smith, Interaction Design Institute Ivrea – Italy * Bill Gaver, Royal College of Art London – UK * Richard Harper, Microsoft Research (Program chair) * Kristina Höök, Swedish Institute of Computer Science – Sweden * Kenton O’Hara, HP Labs – UK * Kenneth Olausson, Interactive Institute – Sweden * Andrew Monk, University of York – UK * Tom Rodden, University of Nottingham – UK * Kurt Schoenmaekers, Microsoft Research * Ken Wood, Microsoft Research (Program chair) URL: http://research.microsoft.com/ero/IEP/CfPapers.aspx _______________________________________________ icec mailing list icec(a)listserver.tue.nl http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec

There is a need for more realistic models of traffic, mobility, and association patterns. This can be beneficial in capacity planning, administration, and deployment of wireless infrastructures, protocol design for wireless applications and services, and their performance analysis. The Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling workshop is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchangeand discuss their experiences and research results about all aspects of measurements and modeling of applications, usage, access, load, and mobility in wireless networks. It will also initiate discussions on how to use these models to improve the performance of wireless networks. Furthermore, it aims in enhancing and accelerating the process of sharing traces, implementations, and test suites. In this workshop, we would like to solicit short, 6 pages, papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. We will use the EDAS system for the paper submission. We plan to get industrial sponsorship to support a best paper and award and a keynotespeaker. Along with regular presentations we plan to have speakers and/or panel discussions that encourage more active participation of the attendees. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: * Methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in different wireless environments (infrastructures, sensor networks) * Workload characterization and traffic analysis * User mobility modeling * Measurements and predictions of user access over multiple networks * Software tools in support of measurements * Measurement-based inference of network properties (for normal or abnormal behavior, network topology, hot spots) * Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, and anomaly detection * Temporal and spatial evolution of wireless networks * Evaluation of forecasting algorithms for wireless traffic load * Comparative analysis on different wireless networks * Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests Deadlines --------- Paper submission due -------------March 10, 2005 Notification of acceptance -------- April 10, 2005 Camera-ready papers due ---------- May 6, 2005 Chairs --------- Maria Papadopouli (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) <maria(a)cs.unc.edu> Dina Papagiannaki (Intel Research Cambridge) <dina.papagiannaki(a)intel.com> Program Committee ----------------------- Mary Baker (HP Labs) Suman Banerjee (University of Wisconsin-Madison) Andrew Campbell (Columbia University) Paul Castro (IBM T.J.
