[Fwd: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05)]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05) Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 12:52:03 +0100 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2005 In conjunction with the 25th Int. 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. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd IEEE Int'l Conf. on Autonomic Computing (ICAC'05) Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2004 21:53:28 -0500 (EST) From: Dongyan Xu <dxu(a)cs.purdue.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------- My sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC-05) Renaissance Seattle Hotel, Seattle, WA June 13-16, 2005 http://www.autonomic-conference.org To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale computer and software systems, they must manage themselves, in accordance with high-level guidance from humans - a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC'05) is to bring together researchers from different fields of research who are addressing aspects of self- management in computing systems. In doing so, we hope to develop and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self- optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. - Software architectures for self-managing systems, based on Open Grid Services, Web Services, or novel paradigms based on biological, economic, social, or other analogies. - Specific self-managing components, such as server, client, database, storage, or network elements. Emphasis should be placed on interactions with other components, or techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. - Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. - New technologies supporting system management, such as service-level agreements, negotiation or conversation support, and behavior enforcement. - System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self- managing systems, such as health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning. - Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, and techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. - Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, theoretical investigations of coupled feedback loops, predictive methods, robustness, and related topics. - Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS Full papers (up to 8 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the ICAC-05 review process. Posters are not subject to any of these restrictions.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: IEEE WMAN 2005: Submission deadline extended to Nov 24 Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 00:37:13 +0200 (EET) From: Ioannis Chatzigiannakis <ichatz(a)cti.gr> To: ichatz(a)cti.gr [Apologies for multiple postings] Last Call for Papers 5th IEEE International Workshop on Algorithms for Wireless, Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (IEEE WMAN 05) April 4-8, 2005, Denver, Colorado, USA (Omni Interlocken Resort) To be held in conjunction with IPDPS 2005 Supported by the IEEE Computer Society http://ru1.cti.gr/wman05/ SCOPE: The field of wireless and mobile computing is an important research challenging area, that emerges from the integration among personal computing distributed computing, cellular technology and the Web. This is possible due to the continuously increasing interaction between communication and computing, which is changing the information access from the current reactive ``anytime anywhere'' into the incoming proactive ``all the time everywhere'' approach. Nowadays, there is a large variety of networks spanning from the well-known cellular networks to non-infrastructured wireless networks such as mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. This scenario raises a number of interesting, and difficult, algorithmic issues in diverse areas such as location management, resource allocation, ubiquitous information, network connectivity, reliability and security, and energy consumption. This workshop is intended to cover contributions in both the design and analysis of discrete algorithms and the system modelling in the context of mobile, wireless, ad-hoc, and sensor networks. In particular, it aims at bringing together the practitioners and theoreticians of the field. We are seeking for papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review. The objective of this workshop is to bring together leading technologists and researchers in these ``critical areas'' of research in order to have a forum for discussing fundamental challenges, identifying future perspectives, and exchanging ideas about ongoing research. Authors are solicited to submit original unpublished manuscripts for this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings (by IEEE CS Press) of the IPDPS workshops. TOPICS: The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited, to: * frequency and channel assignment algorithms * cryptography and security * distributed algorithms * pricing modeling and solutions * algorithms for satellite communications * mechanisms design and cooperation enforcement * algorithms and modeling on satellite and radio networks * algorithms for resource management in mobile, wireless and ad-hoc networks * data management on mobile and wireless computing * algorithms for single-hop and multiple-hop packet radio networks * routing, and communication primitives in ad hoc and sensor networks * synchronization and scheduling issues in mobile and ad hoc networks * energy saving protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks * complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments * caching and prefetching for information access in wireless networks * algorithms and modeling for tracking and locating mobile users IMPORTANT DATES: Extended submission deadline: ** November 24, 2004, 5pm EST ** Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: January 6th, 2005 Camera-Ready Paper Due: January 25, 2005 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND PUBLICATION: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the WMAN workshop. The length of the papers should be a maximum of 10 double-column single-spaced pages including figures and references on 8.5 by 11 inch paper using at least 10 point font (based upon IEEE Proceedings Style). Please remember that the final versions will be restricted to 8 pages. Authors must submit their papers electronically via EDAS (http://edas.info/) Note that once the paper gets accepted, it is MANDATORY that at least one author should attend the workshop and present the paper. The accepted papers will be published in the same printed abstract volume and CD-ROM proceedings as other workshops of the IPDPS 2005 conference by the IEEE Computer Society Press and IEEE online library.

Best Regards Alex _____ CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Context Aware Networks Technologies and Applications (CANET'05) Held in conjunction with the 5th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context; July 5, 2005 - Paris, France (http://context-05.org) DEADLINES Submissions due: 25th March 2005 Acceptance notification: 15th April 2005 Camera-ready papers received: 30th April 2005 Program on line: 5th May 2005 Workshop: 5th July 2005 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 Type of papers * Full papers of up to 12 single-spaced pages including figures, tables, references and annexes * Position / work in progress papers of up to 6 pages Evaluation Process and Proceedings Publication All papers are going to be reviewed by the scientific committee. The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes on Computer Science series. Submissions should follow the LNCS style (www.springeronline.com). The document must be in PostScript, Acrobat PDF or MS-Word format. All correspondence will take place electronically.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP WWAN 2005, Columbus, Ohio, USA, 6-9 June, 2005 Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 19:21:46 +0100 From: David Simplot-Ryl <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> To: <arp(a)cines.fr>, <alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr>, <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ====================================================================== LAST CALL FOR PAPERS WWAN 2005 2nd International Workshop on Wireless Ad Hoc Networking http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2005 to be held in conjunction with The 25th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS-2005) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6-9, 2005 http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/icdcs05 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Purpose Wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks (network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure), such as cellular or satellite systems. Wireless ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless ad-hoc networks are formed by a set of hosts that communicate with each other over a wireless channel. Each node has the ability to communicate directly with another node in its physical neighborhood. They operate in a self-organized and decentralized manner and message communication takes place via multi-hop spreading. A packet is sent to its target node through a set of intermediate nodes that act as routers. Particular ad hoc network systems include packet radio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftop networks, and wireless local area networks. This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical issues up to applications aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. The first edition of WWAN held last year during ICDCS-2004 (Tokyo, Japan) was organized by David Simplot-Ryl and Ivan Stojmenovic. In response to the Call for Papers, 42 papers from 20 different countries had been submitted. Based on three review reports per paper, they was classified as accept, reject or discuss. For those papers in the discuss list, additional opinions were sought. As a result, a total of 21 papers were selected for presentation at WWAN 2004 and were organized in 7 sessions. Website of this prior workshop: http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2004 Topics of Interest We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Applications and history of ad hoc networks, - Physical layer of ad hoc networks, - Pervasive and wearable computing, - IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth based medium access control, - Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation, - Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks, - Hybrid networks and wireless internet, - Security in ad hoc networks, - Data management issues, query processing, data delivery, - Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks, - Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks, - Quality of service in medium access control and routing, - Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks. Paper Submission Submit a full paper of about 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society proceedings Manuscripts: two column, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the ICDCS'2005 workshops. You can use the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines (http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm).

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP-Special Section of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R)]
by Lars Wolf 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP-Special Section of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 17:58:59 +0200 From: Polychronis Koutsakis <polk(a)telecom.tuc.gr> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************* Call for Papers Special Section on “Medium Access and Call Admission Control Algorithms for Next Generation Wireless Networks” ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Theme With the pervasive presence of mobile personal wireless computing devices, wireless communication technologies are rapidly evolving and influencing our daily way of life. The new wireless data and multimedia services that are added and supported on wireless networks alongside the traditional voice services pose formidable challenges to these networks in their effort to satisfy strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. These challenges are further exasperated by the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links (fading, noise) and user mobility. To cope with the challenges related to supporting both the existing and the ever increasing new services, next generation wireless technologies will need to fine tune and/or incorporate new sets of traffic control procedures. This special section will be focusing on two such control procedures related to wireless medium sharing and network overload. A well designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol reduces system costs by maximizing system capacity while successfully integrating different classes of traffic (e.g., voice, data, multimedia) and optimally allocating the limited radio channel bandwidth among them. Congestion control poses yet additional set of challenges to wireless network providers. Network congestion is difficult to resolve when real-time traffic, sensitive to both latency and packet loss, is present, without jeopardizing the QoS expected by the users of that traffic. Call Admission Control (CAC) is a strategy used to limit the number of call connections into the network in order to reduce network congestion, therefore enabling the system to provide the desired QoS to newly incoming as well as existing calls. The mobility of users adds challenging requirements to the Call Admission Control Mechanism. When mobile users change their point of attachment, the end-to-end path may be changed while they still expect to receive the same QoS. This implies that the new end-to-end path should also support the existing QoS (i.e., a reservation on the new path may be required). Topics of interest This highly selective special section of the ACM MC2R aims at providing a state-of-the-art reference of the current research in the fields of Medium Access Control Protocols and Call Admission Control Algorithms for next generation wireless networks. Previously unpublished, original papers of very high quality that are not currently under review by another conference or journal are solicited focusing on representative topics related to this special section, such as: > Medium Access Control Protocols and Transmission Scheduling Mechanisms. > Call Admission Control and Traffic Policing Mechanisms for wireless networks. > Channel Allocation. > CDMA/TDMA wireless systems. > QoS issues for multimedia traffic over wireless networks. > Performance evaluation of wireless networks. > Mobile service and QoS management. > Wireless multimedia services. > Handoff algorithms for mobility support. > Protocols and algorithms coping with limited bandwidth and intermittent connectivity of wireless networks. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2005. Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2005. Submission of final version: July 15, 2005. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should submit their paper electronically to the email address of one of the three guest editors. All material submitted must be in PostScript or PDF format. If using PostScript, only version 2 or later should be used, and reference only Computer Modern or standard Adobe fonts (Courier, Times Roman, or Helvetica); other PostScript type 1 and type 2 fonts may be used but must be included in the PostScript file. Type 3 fonts should not be used as they reproduce poorly in the digital library and on many printers. Paper length should be the equivalent of no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Programming Models for Multimedia Cluster and Grid Computing (Special Session IPDPS-PDIVM 2005) Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2004 14:52:51 +0100 From: Elena Zudilova <elenaz(a)science.uva.nl> Organization: OptimaNumerics To: computational.science(a)optimanumerics.com [We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.] *********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** Special Session on "PROGRAMMING MODELS FOR MULTIMEDIA CLUSTER AND GRID COMPUTING" (http://www.science.uva.nl/~fjseins/pdivm_special.html) held as part of the 6th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Image Processing, Video Processing, and Multimedia (PDIVM'2005) (http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~uhl/pdivm.html) in conjunction with the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium IPDPS Denver, Colorado, USA, April 8th, 2005 The special session constitutes one of the sessions of the PDIVM 2005 workshop, organized as part of the 2005 IPDPS Conference. There will be no separate registration for the special session or the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS Press (a CD-ROM with a printed abstracts book). ************** TOPICS ************** Even though many multimedia applications are ideally suited for parallel execution, most researchers in multimedia do not benefit from the many commodity clusters and wide-area Grid systems available around the world today. Primarily, this problem is due to the lack of user-friendly tools that can effectively help non-expert parallel programmers in creating high performance multimedia applications. Clearly, the key to effective application development by non-experts in parallel computing lies in the availability of high-level programming models for multimedia processing. This special session brings together researchers and developers working on all aspects of the design of user-friendly programming models, tools, and frameworks for multimedia computing. Issues of interest include, but are not limited to: *) domain-specific programming models *) languages for multimedia computing (object-oriented, functional, ...) *) multimedia server-based approaches *) domain-specific compiler directives *) automatic parallelization *) automatic performance optimization *) performance modeling *) skeletons and algorithmic patterns *) evaluation of user-friendly tools and frameworks *) applications in user-friendly multimedia computing ************** SUBMISSION ************** Submissions for the special session should be about 4 pages long (i.e. extended abstracts) using the IEEE Proceedings style (available from: http://www.science.uva.nl/~fjseins/IEEEStyle.txt). Final versions will be restricted to 8 pages. Please submit your extended abstract in postscript or pdf format to fjseins(a)science.uva.nl using the subject "PDIVM special session paper". ************** SCHEDULE ************** Papers due: November 15th, 2004 Author notification: December 20th, 2004 Camera-ready final papers due: January 21st, 2005 Workshop (and IPDPS): (April 4th -) April 8th, 2005 ************** COMMITTEES ************** Special Session Organizer: Frank J.

FYI Xiaoyuan -----Original Message----- From: info(a)patternrecognition.org.uk [mailto:info@patternrecognition.org.uk] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 11:02 PM To: xiaogu(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Subject: Invitation 3rd International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition ---------------------------------------------------------------- The third international conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition will showcase the latest research in the area of pattern recognition and machine learning. The focus will be on new and emerging techniques in pattern recognition and machine learning. The conference has three specific goals: (a) The description and discussion of new techniques that will make a step change in the area; (b) The use of unconventional and often off-the-mainstream techniques to solve complex tasks; and (c) A theoretical understanding of how the nature of data impacts upon known techniques, their limitations, and comparison to each other. The conference will focus on both applied work as well as theoretical advances. It is however theoretical contribution that will underpin research and will be emphasised in the review process. The conference will be organised in Bath which is the best-preserved Georgian city in Britain, a showpiece of Georgian architecture with picturesque streets and stone-fronted houses. The Romans were captivated by the area of Bath over 2,000 years ago, when Bath was a vast green valley with a miraculous stream of endless hot water. The Roman bath and temple complex are still a world-class attraction. Beautiful and elegant, Bath enjoys many thousands of tourists from all over the world. The conference will be organized at the University of Bath. The ICAPR conference will be co-located with the International Postgraduate Conference on Pattern Analysis for Applications in Physical and Life Sciences (http://www.ipc2005.org.uk), which will be organised on the same dates at the same location. The demonstrations of any software will take place jointly. We invite you to attend and publish at ICAPR 2005. http://www.icapr2005.org.uk/
