Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations. This first workshop intends to put together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2005 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work.

Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. Today, systematic application development support is lacking for the emerging wide spectrum of distributed systems ranging from ambient intelligence to global computing scenarios. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS'05 will focus on models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications within all kinds of computing environments. DAIS'05 is the fifth event in a series of successful international conferences, which started in 1997. DAIS'05 will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed computing. DAIS'05 will include talks by invited speakers, full technical paper sessions, and work-in-progress presentations. CONFERENCE THEMES In keeping with the focus on models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications, and in addition to its traditional themes, DAIS'05 especially encourages original unpublished papers addressing the following topics: - software architectures and frameworks for application reconfiguration and adaptation, - component frameworks (e.g. CORBA Components, EJB,.NET), - autonomous systems and architectures, - modelling, specifying, monitoring and management of context-aware and adaptive applications, - support for self-organisation and autonomic behaviour in distribution platforms, - application infrastructures for Service-oriented Architectures and Web Services, - application environments for specific technologies (e.g. GRID computing, mobile and wireless), - issues in enterprise-wide and large-scale application integration, model-driven development and testing, - application management and tuning, - development methodologies for ambient intelligence and sensor net applications, - semantic interoperability and semantic web services. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES DAIS'2005 seeks submissions for: - Full technical papers in no more than 12 pages (about 6000 words); - Work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim results in no more than 5 pages. All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted simulta- neously for publication elsewhere. They will be refereed by the Pro- gram Committee. Accepted full papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS series. Submission format: PDF using the Springer LNCS style. IMPORTANT DATES Full paper submission: February 1, 2005 Work-in-progress papers: February 15, 2005 Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2005 Camera ready version: April 7, 2005 Conference dates: June 15-17, 2005 VENUE & EVENT DAIS'05, organized by the Communications Network Laboratory of the University of Athens, will be held in Athens, Greece, colocated with the 7th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS'05).

The workshop is a platform to propose new positioning algorithms and location sensing techniques, including new techniques and studies into the properties of existing technologies. This includes enhancements of singular systems (e.g. positioning in cellular telephone networks such as GSM; positioning in WLAN environments; etc.) as well as hybrid systems (e.g. integration of Global Navigation Satellite Systems with Inertial Position Systems). Improvements in sensor technology, integration and sensor fusion may be addressed either on a theoretical or on an implementation level. The genesis of nearly all kinds of dynamic location information is mobility. Mobility - in all its facets (user mobility, device mobility, session mobility etc.) - requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, as well as discovery and execution frameworks for location-aware services. Thus we invite you to submit proposals and/or experience papers in the area of mobility and its mentioned adjacencies. Location is also one of the primary aspects (such as time, identity and activity) of all major context models. Context-awareness, a generalization of location-awareness, is another driver of the pervasive computing paradigm. Well designed context modeling and context retrieval approaches are key accessors to the context in any context-aware system. Thus we emphatically invite submissions dealing with issues of modeling and retrieval of context. This may also include integration aspects into service platforms and frameworks to provide location- and context-awareness to services. Personal and confidential data such as the location of the user stored on mobile devices and the location of the mobile device itself have profound implications for personal information privacy. Thus the area of protecting privacy, privacy-oriented location-aware systems, and how privacy affects the feasibility and usefulness of systems may be addressed. Example topics include privacy enablers in pervasive surveillance and sensing environments or location anonymity techniques. Scenarios and applications for location-aware computing may be surveyed and evaluated, including existing applications and aiming forwards future applications, to facilitate the deployment and everyday use of location-aware computing systems in workplaces, homes and public spaces. Submission Guidelines: Authors are requested to submit full papers in Adobe PDF format. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the international program committee and additional expert reviewers from relevant research communities. All paper submissions will be handled eletronically by the EDAS system. Note that submission is a two stage process - you will need to register your paper first and then submit the final manuscript. Authors without EDAS user names will be required to register with the system using the same link as above. The site will close for submissions at 03:00 EDT on 18 December 2004. All accepted papers will be contained in the workshop proceedings which will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer. Therefore submissions must conform to the LNCS LaTeX stylesheets. We solicit papers of up to 12 pages in LNCS style but explicitly welcome shorter papers for presentation of pointed results. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: 17 December 2004 Notification: 31 January 2005 Camera ready deadline: 28 February 2005 Workshop date: 12-13 May 2005 Workshop Chairs: Thomas Strang Claudia Linnhoff-Popien Technical Program Committee Members: Alessandro Acquisti, CMU (USA) Victor Bahl, Microsoft (USA) Christian Becker, Stuttgart University (Germany) Anind K.

If network mobility is not explicitly supported by some mechanisms, existing sessions break and connectivity to the global Internet is lost. A mobile network is composed of Mobile Router(s) (MR) and Mobile Network Nodes (MNN) that can be fixed or mobile. There has been rapid development in network mobility support, i.e., providing Internet connectivity to the networks that move using mobile routers since the inception of Mobile IPv4 in 1996. Seamless Internet access in public transportation such as in trains and busses can be possible if mobile routers are used. Cars with low-power sensors seamlessly connected to the Internet constitute yet another example of networks which move. To date, some airline companies announced Internet connectivity support during commercial flights and this trend is expected to accelerate and cover most if not all flights. This issue is focused on modeling, analysis, and simulation of network mobility support protocols. We solicit papers presenting original and unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics: * Modeling and Analysis of Network Mobility o Modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile router o Protocols for route optimization o Mobility issues inside a mobile network o Mobile IPv6 extensions for route optimization o Nested mobile networks o Multihomed mobile networks o Operational issues to deploy mobile networks o Auto-configuration for mobile networks o Mobile router support on cellular phone platforms * Services in the Networks that Move o Service advertisement and discovery protocols in networks that move o Specifications nad models of services for network mobility o Encryption and authentication in service access for network mobility * Security Issues in Network Mobility o Security analysis of present network mobility support protocols o Applications of AAA and EAP to network mobility o Interaction with security-enhanced modules in other layers (vertically) or other middle boxes (horizontally) Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors.

However, the promise of pervasive computing environments will not be realized unless these systems can effectively "disappear". In order to do that they need to become autonomous by managing their own evolution and configuration changes without explicit user or administrator action. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Architecture and models for autonomic communication and computing systems - Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic systems and networks - Adaptive security for self protection of systems and networks - Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic communications - Novel management techniques for autonomic communication and computing systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing systems and networks - Languages, development and securely programmable environments for autonomic communications systems - Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic communication and computing systems - Autonomic communication and computing testbeds and measurements SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF file and submit it to acc2005(a)autonomic-communication.org.

The concept of "smart object" is defined as the junction between miniaturization with the development of wireless communications. A large number of applications in daily life enriched can be imagined: from PDA networks to smart space, from wireless smartcard to smart fridges. Smart objects like smartcards, RFID tags, wireless sensors, smart dust, require suitable basic software which takes into account the specificity of smart objects: limited resources, mobile and untrusted environment. This workshop covers the area of system and networking for smart devices. In particular, it will cover operating system architecture, network and transport layers, as well as applications, power management, security. It is the goal of this workshop to provide up to date information on research and development activities in this rapidly rising research area. Areas of relevant interest we foresee (but not limited to) include: * Smart devices like smartcards, RFID tags, sensors and smart dusts * Embedded operating system dedicated to smart objects * Mobile and ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery * Design principles and techniques for smart embedded systems * Middleware services for deployment and management of smart objects * Security and safety issues of ubiquitous computing systems * Location-dependent / personalized applications * Wireless sensor networks and group management of sensor nodes * Submission and Timetable * The submission deadline is January 14, 2005.
