-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CfP: ARCS - 18th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2004 10:40:05 +0200 From: announce(a)teco.edu To: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Call For Papers 18th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS) - System Aspects in Organic and Pervasive Computing Innsbruck, Austria, March 14-17, 2005 http://www.teco.edu/arcs05 Paper Submission Deadline: September 20, 2003 ======================================================================= Future computer systems will be much more integrated into the fabric of everyday life than today's computers are. They will become smaller, more appropriate for their use, integrated into everyday objects and often virtually or physically invisible to the users. They will be also deployed in a much higher quantity and penetrate many application areas To provide such features and functionality, computer devices become tinier yet still increase in complexity; they must consume less power, while still supporting advanced computation and communications, such that they are highly connected yet still operate as autonomous units. This brings several research topics to the fore, including ultra-low power consumption, self-awareness, adaptive networking, smart behavior of systems, scalability and complexity of devices and systems. Pervasive and ubiquitous computing research addresses such issues by developing concepts and technology for interweaving computers into our everyday life. The principle approach is to enhance system functionality and adaptability by recognizing context and situations in the environment. Organic computing then addresses high system complexity by drawing analogies from complex biological systems, with the human-centered goal of self-organization. Organic computing investigates the design and implementation of self-managing systems that are selfconfiguring, self-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, context aware, and anticipatory. ARCS 2004 will emphasize the design, realization and analysis of the emerging computing systems for organic and pervasive computing and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The conference focuses on system aspects of organic and pervasive computing in software and hardware. In particular, system integration and self-management of hardware, software and networks are in the centre of interest. ARCS 2005 continues and replaces the biennial series of German Conferences on Architecture of Computing Systems. This 18th conference in the series serves as a forum to present current work on all aspects of computer and systems architecture. Besides its main focus, the conference is open for more general and interdisciplinary themes in operating systems, networking, and computer architecture. Papers pertaining to aspects of computer and systems architecture, in particular in the field of organic and pervasive computing are sought, including: Enabling Technologies and Infrastructure - operating systems - middleware for organic, pervasive and peer-to-peer computing - multi-agent and mobile agent systems - bio-analogue and artificial-life systems - context and locality - low power systems design - machine-learning, prediction, pro-activity - system design and simulation - reconfigurable hardware and software systems - safety, security, reliability - self-managing service configuration Architectures and Systems - computer and system architecture - modular distributed devices - self-managing, self-healing and fault-tolerant systems - real-time systems - mobile and wearable devices - embedded systems (consumer electronics, automotive) Applications - scenarios for ubiquitous and pervasive computing - autonomic environments - network server architectures and network based applications - semantic networks - ubiquitous, home and wireless networking The conference is organized by the special interest group on Computer and Systems Architecture of the GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik - German Informatics Society) and ITG (Informationstechnische Gesellschaft - Information Technology Society), supported by OCG (Austrian Computer Society), OVE/GIT (Austrian Electrotechnical Associastion) and electrosuisse (ITG), and held in cooperation with IFIP, ACM and IEEE (approval requested).

[Fwd: [Tccc] Last CFP: ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs]
by Lars Wolf 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP: ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2004 12:26:40 +0300 From: Salkintzis Apostolis-Y1026C <salki(a)motorola.com> To: 'tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> My apologies if you receive this message more than once. *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Wireless Personal Communications Journal* *<**_http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/_**>* ** *ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs* The recent evolution and successful deployment of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) worldwide has paved the way to more intense standardization and R&D activities, that target even more sophisticated and advanced WLAN/WPAN systems. Standardization activities within the IEEE 802.11 working group are already underway for evolving the dominant WLAN standard in several aspects, including security, mobility and quality of service (QoS. In addition, alternative physical and MAC layer proposals are being considered for improving bit rates to ranges in excess of 100 Mbps. Similar activities are taking placing within the ETSI BRAN project to further evolve the HIPERLAN/2 standard. At the same time, the core representative of WPANs, i.e. Bluetooth, is being further evolved by IEEE 802.15 TG1. Other task groups within IEEE 802.15 develop specifications for high- and low-rate WPANs, known as IEEE 802.15.3 and IEEE 802.15.4 respectively. Moreover, interworking mechanisms are being investigated for combining WLAN/WPANs and second-/third-generation cellular networks into hybrid data networks, capable of very high bit rates in strategic locations (hotspots). 3GPP is one notable standardization body that currently standardizes such interworking mechanisms. Last but not least, it is important to note the numerous research projects worldwide that address a vast collection of issues related to WLANs and WPANs, ranging from the seamless mobility across UTRAN and WLAN (see for example the IST EVOLUTE project at _http://evolute.intranet.gr/)_ to heterogeneous multihop wireless networks consisting of combinations of WPAN and WLAN technologies (see for example the IST 6HOP project). All these activities combined with market forecasts, which report that WLANs and WPANs will encounter a tremendous growth in the next years, demonstrate that WLAN and WPAN technologies will play a significant role in the future and will severely impact our business and personal life styles. However, several issues still need to be efficiently addressed, including power consumption, physical and MAC layer architecture, radio resource management, interworking, QoS, security, co-existence with other unlicensed technologies, self configuration, etc. The goal of this special issue is to address the above issues and provide a timely and concise reference of the current activities and research findings in the fields of WLANs and WPANs. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these technologies. In this context, papers are solicited that describe original and unpublished contributions on representative topics, such as: * Authentication and Security in WLANs and WPANs * QoS and policy issues in WLANs/WPANs * Interworking between WLAN and WPAN technologies * WLANs and 2G/3G interworking * Emerging MAC protocols * Technologies for very-high-bit-rate WLANs * Mobility issues and mobility protocols * Support of multimedia over WLAN/WPAN * Multihop and ad hoc architectures * Applications tailored to WLANs/WPANs * Radio resource management techniques * WLANs/WPANs in 4G networks * WLANs/WPANs co-existence issues * Voice/video over WLANs and WPANs * Standardization activities * Performance studies * Self organization in WLAN networks * Management of large scale WLAN networks Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the Author Instructions available at_ <__http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/__>_.

Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: University of Guelph To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu FINALL CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Special Section on Discovery and Interaction of Mobile Services With Guest Editor Qusay H. Mahmoud Department of Computing & Information Science University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, N1G 2W1 Canada qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca Mobile services are mobile/wireless computing applications and services that can be either pushed to user's handheld wireless devices (push mobile services) or downloaded and installed, over the air (pull mobile services). In order to use such services, users of wireless devices need to locate them; they can be located on remote servers or even on peers' devices in a mobile ad hoc setting (or MANET). Therefore, one of the fundamental challenges is the discovery of relevant services in mobile ad hoc networks, but more importantly, selecting a suitable service and interacting with it to accomplish a useful task. Several available service discovery protocols are not suitable for MANETs simply because they have been designed for infrastructure-based networks. In addition, such protocols offer no location-based and context-aware selection mechanisms, and feature minimal interaction models that are not suited for wireless devices with limited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. The aim of this special section is to present most recent research findings on "discovery and interaction of mobile services". We are seeking papers that address discovery, selection, and interaction issues of mobile services. Submissions must be original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: - Discovery protocols for mobile services - Selection and interaction techniques - Security and privacy issues in discovery protocols - Location-dependent and/or context-aware service discovery mechanisms - XML/SOAP for discovery protocols - Lightweight discovery protocols - Agents-based discovery, selection, and interaction - Performance evaluation of discovery protocols Publication Schedule -------------------- Papers are due: August 1, 2004 Notifications: October 1, 2004 Final papers: November 15, 2004 Publication: First available issue (January or April 2005) Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors should email an electronic copy (PDF only) of their papers to Qusay H. Mahmoud, qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca, by August 1, 2004. Submissions should be no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers IISW'04 Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 15:27:58 +0200 (CEST) From: Calin Curescu <calcu(a)ida.liu.se> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the program committee for the International Infrastructure Survivability Workshop (IISW04) to be held in conjunction with the 25th IEEE Real-time Systems Symposium, we would like to invite you to consider the workshop for a paper submission. Selected papers from the workshop will be published in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures (IJCIS), and reviewed by three members of the distinguished program committee. Submission deadline: 4th September. For more details please refer to: www.ida.liu.se/~calcu/iisw04 Regards, Simin Nadjm-Tehrani and Calin Curescu Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies. CALL FOR PAPERS: International Infrastructure Survivability Workshop (IISW'04) """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Overloads, Attacks and Failures: the Trade-off against Time To be held in conjunction with the 25th IEEE International Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS04) December 5-8, 2004 Lisbon, Portugal SCOPE: Society today is increasingly dependent on critical infrastructures that constitute the backbone for delivery of its essential services. Many critical services such as power supplies, public transport, telecommunications, banking and finance, and defence will be increasingly relying on information infrastructures, not only for management and control but also for monitoring outages and recovery. Combinations of wireless and ad hoc networks with fixed networks are becoming a reality in many domains. Traditional solutions in dependable systems build in robustness at the production stage. Using redundancy, feedback mechanisms, and careful sensitivity analysis the system is shown to stay in its characterised operational profile and shows graceful degradation when components fail. In today's networked infrastructures it is more difficult to achieve these goals due to the following developments: * New infrastructures are built as partial overlays with old infrastructures making the emerging system of systems irregular in its architecture. * Introduction of new services, emerging trends and deregulation contribute to unbalancing phenomena: operational conditions may change abruptly creating traffic/flow patterns not foreseen by operators. * Prevalence of software brings with it the weaknesses of COTS, making systems more susceptible to "normal" failures and malicious attempts to bring down a service. * Tomorrow's networked systems will have to face the challenge of survivability: delivering critical services in a timely manner in presence of overloads, attacks and failures. In this workshop we intend to bring together research that addresses the above issues by incorporating metrics that represent the use of scarce resources, reflecting timing performance, anticipating outages and mobilising system reconfigurations to stall outages or recover from partial failures. Practical experience reports are highly encouraged. Papers that describe original unpublished work are solicited and selected papers will be published in a special issue of the International Journal on Critical Infrastructures (IJCIS). The topics of interest cover, but are not limited to, the following areas: * Models and architectures for network survivability * Network fault-tolerance: wireless networks, sensor networks, IP networks * Interoperability between hybrid wireline/wireless networks * Fraud and intrusion Detection, Prediction, and Countermeasures * Survivable architectures for e-commerce * Security and availability of web services * Support for QoS * Adaptive systems theory and practice * Quality metrics in open systems * Availability/Performance trade-offs * Security/Performance trade-offs * Case studies and experimental studies WORKSHOP CHAIR: Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, Linköping University, Sweden, simin(a)ida.liu.se ORGANISATION CHAIR: Calin Curescu, Linköping University, Sweden, calcu(a)ida.liu.se Program Committee: Calin Curescu, Linköping University, Sweden Marc Dacier, Eurécom, France Teresa A.

[ieee-cnom] The 1st IFIP TC6 WG6.6 on Autonomic Communications (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

Carlos Please distribute in CNOM list Raouf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- The 1st IFIP TC6 WG6.6 Workshop on Autonomic Communication (WAC 2004) Autonomic Communication Principles 18-19 October 2004 in Berlin, Germany http://www.autonomic-communication.org/wac/ Call For Papers Scope The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss the principles of Autonomic Communication (AC) - a new communication paradigm to assist the design of the Next Generation Networks (NGN). This workshop explicitly focuses on the grounding principles to achieve purposeful behavior on top of self-organization (self-management, self-healing, self-awareness, etc.). Papers are solicited that study network element's autonomic behavior exposed by innovative (cross-layer optimized, context-aware, and securely programmable) protocol stack in its interaction with numerous often-dynamic network groups and communities. The goals are to understand how autonomic behaviors are learned, influenced or changed, and how, in turn, these affect other elements, groups and the network. The self-organized Internet will be able to sense its environment, to perceive these changes and to understand the meaning of these changes, thus facilitating new ways to perform network control, management, middle box communication, service creation, etc. This will be based on universal and fine-grained multiplexing of numerous policies, rules and events which are done autonomously but facilitate desired behavior of groups of network elements. Though the primary application domain is the Internet, papers addressing autonomic communication principles for mission critical distributed systems are also welcome. The emphasis of the event is on long-term research agenda with broad interdisciplinary approach to explore concurrently multiple paradigm spaces. Along with invited papers and a panel the conference will offer possibility for technical papers and position statements. Papers are solicited on at least the following topics: * Policy-based communication and policy multiplexing in NGN * Group communication for control and management plane * Designing evolvable next generation networks * Self-organisation for NGN re-configurability * Management of nomadicity * Large AC testbeds * AC calculi * Modelling and analysis of AC systems * Theoretical foundations of autonomic network control * Mobile code and network programmability for AC * Generic network-level service composition at run-time * Context handling within AC * Theoretical foundations of rule-based systems; * Security, immunity and resilience of AC * Applied AC (QoS, traffic engineering, routing, etc.); WAC 2004 is technically co-sponsored by IFIP TC6 WG6.6 and will be organized by the FP6 project "Autonomic Communication: Coordination Action" of Future and Emerging Technologies program of the IST. Communication Paradigms for 2020 IST Program Future and Emerging Technologies plans to launch a long-term research (proactive initiative) in the area of novel communication paradigms; it will address high-level visionary and risky research of fundamental nature and shall explore its limits and opportunities in increasingly important areas of economical and social development in Europe. Autonomic Communication addresses these challenges from a network-centric technological viewpoint to enable true ambient intelligence and I-centric communication scenarios. Information for Authors Submissions will be subject to at least three peer reviews and should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 12 single-spaced pages or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 100-word abstract, and list of keywords. The author responsible for correspondence should be identified, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Authors are requested to follow the LNCS's guidelines. One of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at WAC '2004. Address for Submissions Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF, or in Postscript formats to the following address: wac(a)autonomic-communication.org Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and distributed after the event.

[ieee-cnom] Final CFP: 2nd Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing 2004 (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

Apologies in case of duplicated messages. MGC2004 - 2nd International Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing in conjunction with the 5th International Middleware Conference 2004 Toronto, Ontario, Canada - October 18th, 2004 http://mgc2004.lncc.br =========== Final CALL FOR PAPERS =========== Extended submission deadline: July 17th, 2004 Submit using ACM style to minimize the effort in generating the camera ready version. History: The first edition of this workshop (MGC2003) was held on June 17th 2003, in conjunction with the Middleware Conference, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. MGC2003 saw a good combination of the many different flavors in Middleware for Grid Computing, with 16 technical presentations and discussions on several stimulating topics including, among the others, Classic Grids, object oriented technologies, Service- based Grids, Open grid Service Architecture, Agent Grid, Interactive Grid, Grid Economy / Scheduling, and Portlets. After the event, extended and thoroughly revised versions of the papers were invited to a Special Issue of Concurrency and Computation Practice and Experience Journal - Vol.16 N.5 2004. The first workshop generated substantial interest in the community and we hope to build on this tradition this year. Far from exhausting the topics of interest, MGC2003 paved the way for a second edition of the workshop, that will continue the most interesting and stimulating topics emerged last year, and also include some novel issues. Description: Much of the focus of Grid until recently has been within research organizations. Currently the involvement of commercial organization has increased tremendously. That leads to a greater focus on integration with commercial computing models and more work on the security and resource management models required for automated and secure access negotiation for remote resources. In order to control such a broad base of resources, Grid Computing has a middleware layer which controls the distributed execution of applications. In this Workshop we would encourage researchers from the various GRID middleware communities to submit and present original work for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: Classic Grid Middleware Object Oriented technologies or Component Middleware WSRF/OGSA/Web services Grid Middleware Architectures Grid Services Grid Middleware Security Resource Management and Scheduling Strategies and protocols for obtaining QoS Semantic Grid Middleware Managing Information in Grid Middleware Grid Object Metadata and Schemas Programming Models, Tools, and Environments Performance Evaluation and Modeling Evolution of and experiences with Grid systems Wireless Grids Data Grid Middleware Dependability and Fault Tolerance in Grids Virtualization in Grids Paper Submission: The Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 4-6 single-spaced pages of text using 10 point size type on A4 paper. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All selected papers for are peer-reviewed and will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Selected (extended) papers will be invited to a special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience Journal for 2005. Some papers may be selected to be presented as posters. Electronic only submission.
