[Fwd: [Tccc] "Last" reminder: IEEE J-SAC CFP: issue on "QUALITY OF SERVICE IN VARIABLE TOPOLOGY NETWORKS"]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] "Last" reminder: IEEE J-SAC CFP: issue on "QUALITY OF SERVICE IN VARIABLE TOPOLOGY NETWORKS" Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2003 12:45:10 +0100 From: Nicola Blefari Melazzi <blefari(a)uniroma2.it> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: Jean-Yves Le Boudec <jean-yves.leboudec(a)epfl.ch>, Bo Li <bli(a)cs.ust.hk>, John Daigle <wcdaigle(a)cotton.vislab.olemiss.edu>, Kenneth Brayer <kb(a)mitre.org> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. _http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/variable_topology_qos.html _*CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications QUALITY OF SERVICE IN VARIABLE TOPOLOGY NETWORKS * About 25 years ago the first routing protocols that have become known as Variable Topology Routing Protocols that were not simply random routing or flooding appeared. Their objective is to maintain and continue the delivery of message traffic in a network where the topology of the network (the router connections) is variable. In recent years this has become an area of great interest with sessions at ICC, Infocom, Globecom, and Milcom, as well as papers in both IEEE and ACM Journals. There is also an Internet Engineering Task Force group studying a subset called Ad Hoc routing, which is based upon a common broadcast channel, an outgrowth of packet radio, and an active worldwide researcher mail-list. There are literally tens of new protocols proposed every quarter. There are, however, limited numbers of papers describing performance of such protocols and fewer still describing comparative performance with meaningful statistical analysis of operation (steady-state and learning modes). As such a reader/user/organization wishing to employ such a protocol has little to go on in making a selection choice. Furthermore, many methods seek only to deliver traffic but do not consider timeliness, priorities, and other features that users might desire. Likewise quality of service is also a subject of great interest in conferences and journals as users want predictable performance. Here again there are many ideas and little to go on in terms of performance, methods of evaluation, or standards, which would allow a user to select an approach that maximizes his capacity or performance or gives guarantees of delivery performance. It is the objective of this issue to publish papers presenting methodology, performance, comparative performance, and methods for providing/increasing user capacity and performance in variable topology networks, and quality of service alternatives, which will allow potential users to gain the necessary information to make real world implementation comparisons and choices. This performance can be shown by analysis, simulation or implementation with preference being given to papers providing comparisons of alternatives. Our goal is that there be one source for current information to aid users in the decision making process. New methodologies will be considered if they are in papers that also compare their performance to other well-known approaches and demonstrate improved value. Papers that show other methods including architectural, reconfigurable, and topological approaches and MAC features to increase user capacity and performance are also desired. But again, these papers must show comparative advances in performance. Call for Papers Topics of keen interest today in networking technology include methods of delivering services over variable topology networks, such as variable point-to-point and Ad Hoc networks, in which the user is mobile and inter-router connections are time varying. We seek here to gather a body of work that reports the state of the art and practice in assessment of the quality of service (QoS) that can be delivered over such networks. We specifically seek contributions that will be of value to system architects in selecting collections of technologies and methodologies that meet their needs and establish standards for user responsive system performance. We are especially seeking contributions that report QoS delivery in clearly defined network settings under clearly defined metrics for a specific service or collection of services. Such contributions might focus specifically on comparing alternative technological or methodological approaches to delivering services with quality guarantee, such as bi-directional versus unidirectional connectivity, source-based versus dynamic routing, proactive versus reactive organization, transmission control at the transport layer versus the MAC layer, retransmission versus forward error correction and the relation of these to timeliness and priority. Variable topology peer-to-peer and Ad Hoc constructions in both flat and hierarchical environments are of interest. Alternatively, a contribution might focus on the performance that can be achieved using a single technological and methodological approach, but varying key factors of interest, such as the number of end systems, end-system density, or the delivery physical environment. Throughout, the central theme should be service delivery, and the metrics used should enable potential users to clearly see patterns of performance in one or more of the following dimensions: cost, complexity, timely delivery, traffic handling capacity, or the number of end systems the system can handle. Methods for achieving quality of service under conditions of varying topology, and new concepts for providing quality of service are likewise of interest. In this context, the topics for this issue include: Subjects of Interest · *Variable Point-to-Point and Ad Hoc Routing *· o New methodologies · o Bi-directional vs. unidirectional connectivity · o Source based vs. dynamic routing · o Unicast vs. multicast, content-based routing · *Variable Topology Network Architectures and Reconfiguration Techniques *· o Flat vs. hierarchical organizations · o Proactive vs. reactive reconfiguration · o MAC vs. upper layer implementations · o Self-configurations · o Distributed algorithms (group and resource management) · *Quality of Service (QoS) Delivery *· o Methodologies for timely message delivery · o Providing predictable performance · o Error coding for achieving Quality of Service · o Methods of measuring QoS in operational networks · *Performance Analysis *· o Comparative study (analysis, simulation, emulation and/or implementation) · o New analytical approaches · o Definition of performance metrics · o Optimizing the system performance (capacity, response time, throughput, etc.) · *Testbed and Applications *· o Testbed descriptions and objectives · o Experimental results based on testbeds · o Unique applications of testbeds · *Standards *· o Definition of common and desirable features of standards · o Matching current and emerging standards to applications · o Applications requirements versus features provided by standards Original, unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The call for papers is for extended abstracts that propose development of papers to meet the goals of the issue. The proposal shall comprehensively describe the area of the paper relative to the areas of interest of the call. These extended abstracts will be reviewed and the editors will invite final papers, which will be refereed.

British Computer Society (BCS) Performance Engineering Specialist Group . Institute of Electrical and Electronic (IEE) Engineers (U.K.) . EUROPEAN COMMISSION - IST and NoE Programmes . MOTOROLA (U.K.), ERICSSON (Hungary), . ALCATEL SEL AG - SIEMENS AG - VODAFONE - SOLINET TELECOMS GmbH (Germany) . 4PLUS Technologies SA - TELETEL TELECOMS & IT (Greece) .

School of Informatics, University of Bradford (U.K.) Monday 21st - Wednesday 23rd July, 2003 Craiglands Hotel*, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, U.K. (* The Craiglands is a delightful Victorian country hotel on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and near the famed Ilkley Moor.) Over recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the performance modelling, evaluation and convergence of multi-service networks of diverse technology, such as IP, ATM, MPLS, D-WDM, IPO, WLL, xDSL, Metro-WDM, Gigabit Ethernet, WLAN, Ad-hoc as well as GSM, GPRS, 3G UMTS mobile systems and all-optical networks. However, many interesting and important traffic engineering, technological and performance issues need to be addressed and resolved before a global and wide-scale integrated broadband network infrastructure can be established for the efficient support of multimedia applications. These include the design and dimensioning of 3G and 4G networks with quality of service (QoS) quarantees and also the design and development of generic evaluation platforms capable of measuring the performance of heterogeneous networks, services inter-operability and applications. Moreover, robust quantitative methodologies are needed, such as those based on novel queueing network models, neural networks and stochastic Petri nets, leading to both credible and cost-effective approximations and algorithms for the performance prediction of heterogeneous networks. These powerful and realistic tools applied to the analysis of other types of discrete flow systems, such as computer systems, transportation networks and flexible manufacturing systems, may also be, by analogy, of relevance. The aim of the First International Working Conference on Heterogeneous Networks (HET-NET '03) is to contribute to fundamental research in networks of diverse technology and internetworking issues and focus on their performance/reliability modelling and analysis. As in earlier performance modelling and evaluation ATM & IP events in Bradford and Ilkley, U.K., the Working Conference provides the friendly and informal atmosphere in which participants from all over the world exchange new concepts and ideas and discuss new operational solutions and research initiatives. In particular, delegates are encouraged to address . Traffic engineering and performance modelling aspects of existing and emerging 3G & 4G Internet technologies towards the convergence of telecommunications, networking and broadcasting. . Design and development of performance evaluation platforms for multi-services inter-operability and heterogeneous networks . Analytic and simulation methodologies for QNMs and SPNs with self similar and multi-fractal traffic models of long-range (LRD) versus short-range (SRD) dependence and their approximation, with tolerable accuracy, by simpler traffic processes. It is envisaged that HET-NETs '03 will make an effective contribution to both structuring research in the performance modelling field and spreading the excellence worldwide.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Special Call for Papers and Call for Nominations (SIGCOMM 2003) Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2003 11:18:00 -0500 From: Andreas Terzis <terzis(a)cs.jhu.edu> Reply-To: Andreas Terzis <terzis(a)cs.jhu.edu> To: SIGCOMM-MEMBERS(a)ACM.ORG Dear SIGCOMM-MEMBERS: This year SIGCOMM is expanding by including 6 workshops along with the main SIGCOMM conference. I would like to direct your attention to these workshops with this email. Please also note the deadline for submitting nominations for the SIGCOMM award Regards Andreas Terzis SIGCOMM Information Services Director infodir_sigcomm at acm.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGCOMM AWARD: The deadline for SIGCOMM award nominations is March 31st. For more information visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/award.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOPS in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2003 Karlsruhe, Germany 25 and 27 August 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshops.html ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS This year, SIGCOMM is expanding its scope with significant new emphasis on workshops. We solicit papers and participation in the following six workshops: FDNA Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture MoMeTools Models, Methods and Tools for Reproducible Network Research NetEd Networking Education: How to Educate the Educators? NICELI Network-I/O Convergence: Experience, Lessons, Implications NREDS Network Research: Exploration of Dimensions and Scope RIPQOS Revisiting IP QoS: Why do we care, what have we learned? Check the workshop web pages for definitive information; some dates are tentative. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture FDNA-03 -- Wed. 27 Aug. 2003 Paper submission deadline: 17 March 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/fdna The current Internet architecture has been remarkably successful as the underpinning of a global, general-purpose, decentralized data communication network. Architectural decisions made 30 years ago have allowed the Internet to quickly support new applications and adapt itself to dramatic changes in technology. Now, new forces - new classes of special-purpose networks and the changing requirements facing general purpose networks - argue that reflection on the current state of network architecture and consideration of new architectural principles, structures, and strategies is timely. FDNA-03 is a forum for presenting research results, promising directions, and rising challenges related to the broad topic of new developments in network architecture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Models, Methods and Tools for Reproducible Network Research MoMeTools -- Mon. 25 Aug. 2003 Full and position paper submission deadline: 4 May 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics, network research appears significantly less mature concerning methodology. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools of network research for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for network research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Networking Education: How to Educate the Educators? NetEd -- Mon. 25 Aug. 2003 White papers and poster submission deadline: 2 July 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/neted This second ACM SIGCOMM-sponsored workshop devoted to the topic of networking education will bring together faculty from a broad spectrum of colleges and universities, industry engineers and scientists, and others with an interest in education to discuss curriculum design and teaching practices in the field of computer networks. The workshop will give both new and experienced educators an opportunity to share their views and experiences on the do's and don'ts of networking education, including content, teaching techniques and teaching paradigms. The discussion topics are undergraduate and graduate curriculum, tips for new networking educators, hands-on projects in networking courses, and a comparison and discussion of networking education around the globe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Network-I/O Convergence: Experience, Lessons, Implications NICELI -- Wed. 27 Aug. 2003 Full and position paper deadline: 17 March 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/niceli The performance and commodity price advantages of modern LANs have created a convergence of networks and I/O. This convergence promises both price efficiencies and true interoperability, for storage and for cluster interconnect. The NICELI workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the merits, drawbacks, applications, and practical implications of protocol and implementation designs. Approaches based on Internet protocols are of particular interest. NICELI is a forum for research results, protocol design rationales, significant implementation experience, and architectural papers related to the convergence of networks and interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Network Research: Exploration of Dimensions and Scope NREDS -- Mon. 25 Aug. 2003 Position paper submission deadline: 7 April 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/nreds Two years ago, the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board took a first exploratory examination of what the field of networking research might become in Looking Over the Fence at Networks: A Neighbor's View of Networking Research. This workshop is intended to be the next step in that process, beginning to take a more organized look. Not only is it valuable to consider specific directions that research might move, but we also expect to explore "meta-level" issues, such as the nature of our field, how it relates to others and how we evaluate new research. Participation in this workshop will be by invitation based heavily on position papers. Participation will be largely through discussion on selected topics. The final report of the workshop will be published in CCR. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Revisiting IP QoS: Why do we care, what have we learned? RIPQOS -- Wed. 27 Aug. 2003 Paper submission deadline: 31 March 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/ripqos/ripqos.html For over a decade the Internet engineering and research community has debated, designed, and ignored IP Quality of Service tools and techniques. There's a sense that something might be needed, but little agreement on why and who will pay. At times the very notion of QoS has seemed to be a pointless waste of time, almost a solution waiting for a problem. This workshop is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss the history of IP QoS research and development, review what could have been done better, and perhaps develop a new focus going forward.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers: Mobile Distributed Information Systems on HICSS37 Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2003 15:19:10 +0100 (MET) From: mdis(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de To: hicss(a)ipsi.fhg.de CfP: HICSS-37 Minitrack on Mobile Distributed Information Systems [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS HICSS-37 Minitrack on MOBILE DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS Part of the Software Technology Track at the Thirty-seventh Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES on the Big Island of Hawaii January 5 - 8, 2004 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts due: March 31, 2003 Full Papers due: June 1, 2003 Website: http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss ===================================================================== In today's mobile society, access to relevant information and to context- specific services "anytime, anywhere" is becoming increasingly important. Mobile users are often particularly interested in information about and services in their immediate vicinity, thus Mobile Distributed Information Systems must address location-dependent distribution of and access to services and information from mobile devices. In addition to location, other environmental aspects, such as the user's current situation, topology and available bandwidth of wireless networks, battery power and characteristics of mobile devices, are also relevant for determining information and service requirements. For mobile applications, a dynamic re-configurable architecture is thus required to support flexible reaction to changing contexts and seamless operation in foreign environments, with little or no need for manual reconfiguration. With mobile devices becoming more and more popular and powerful, communication and cooperation between mobile users in an ad-hoc manner are strongly desired. Consequently, the long-established distinction between clients and servers is blurred, which calls for an extension of the architectural paradigm towards peers or alternating roles. This Minitrack will address current topics in the field of Mobile Distributed Information Systems, such as: - Location and Situation Aware Information Services: Modeling, Architectures and Applications - Network Support for Mobile Access to Services and Information - Mobile Ad-hoc Networking and Computing - Provision, Distribution and Management of Services for Mobile Environments - Directory Services, Service Discovery and Service Brokers - Middleware for Mobile Distributed Information Systems - Distributed Databases and Data Management for Mobile Applications - Peer-to-Peer Computing and Cooperation: Scenarios, Platforms and Applications - Self-/Zero-/Auto-Configuration, Dynamic Configuration for Mobile Users - Mobile Multimedia Systems, QoS for Mobile Information Access - Management of Groups of Mobile Users - Mobile Devices: GUIs, Usability and Adaptability - Location Tracking Technologies - Security, Privacy and Billing Issues for Mobile Information and Service Access - Applications and Case Studies of Mobile Distributed Information Systems MINITRACK CHAIRS Andreas Meissner Zhou Wang Lars Wolf Fraunhofer IPSI Fraunhofer IPSI TU Braunschweig Dolivostrasse 15 Dolivostrasse 15 Mühlenpfordtstraße 23 64293 Darmstadt 64293 Darmstadt 38106 Braunschweig Germany Germany Germany {Andreas.Meissner, Zhou.Wang}(a)ipsi.fhg.de wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de The Minitrack Website is http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss Please email general inquiries to hicss(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de MINITRACK PROGRAM COMMITTEE Heribert Baldus, Philips Research, Germany Andrew T.

Note that the abstract submission deadline has been extended to March 7 ------------------------------------------------ The Second Annual Symposium on Autonomous Intelligent Networks and Systems www.ains.cs.ucla.edu, http://path.berkeley.edu/ains At Santa Lucia Complex, Bologna, Italy June 30 to July 1, 2003. The goal of this annual symposium has been to explore and encourage research that would support the development of intelligent networks consisting of many autonmous agents, including UAV's, UGV's, or AUV's, interacting with the physical world in a distributed but coordinated fashion, and also to explore applications of such systems for defense, security, industrial control, environmental monitoring, and planetary exploration. As in the first symposium held last year at UCLA, this symposium will explore technological advances in a number of disciplines that would support such a vision; these include communications systems, collaborative robotic systems, battlefield networks, and neuro-biological systems. A major goal is to foster collaboration, on an international scale, through the identification of common models, tools and methodologies and of opportunities for collaboration among engineers and scientists working on related problems with different perspectives. This symposium will serve as a forum for intelligent agent technologists and visionaries from academia, industry and research labs. Papers may describe research or technology advances as well as ongoing prototyping efforts, experience reports, case studies, and descriptions of interesting systems. Submissions that describe future visions as well as practical technologies of significance and relevance to this area are encouraged. Papers, written in English, should not exceed 3000 words. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. A selection of the papers will be published as a Reference Book.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Network Models, Methods, Tools (MoMeTools), Karlsruhe Germany, Aug. 2003 Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2003 16:03:49 -0500 From: SIGCOMM 2003 <jpgs(a)acm.org> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu WORKSHOP ON MODELS, METHODS AND TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE NETWORK RESEARCH (MoMeTools) http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools Workshop in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2003 Karlsruhe, Germany 25 August 2003 ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics, network research appears significantly less mature concerning methodology. Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated. While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emulation, testbed experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or adjustment between results obtained by different methods. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for network research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: o Reproducibility of experimental network research o Investigation of scaling effects o Common code basis for simulation and implementation o Mathematical methods for error assessment o Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes o Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments o Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations o Benchmarking and measurement techniques o Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of tools o Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop will be published. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT The workshop solicits the following types of submissions: o Full papers. o Position papers on potentially controversial or provocative topics. o Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical session consisting of short presentations combined with live demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to submit an online video clip in addition to a papers. Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are also highly welcome. Submissions should be in PDF or Postscript form, not anonymized, but following the formatting guidelines for ACM SIGCOMM papers. See http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools for full submission requirements in the near future. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de . DEADLINES Submission deadline May 4, 2003 Notification of acceptance May 26, 2003 Camera ready papers due: June 12, 2003 Workshop date: August 25, 2003 ORGANIZERS Program Co-Chairs: Georg Carle, University of Tuebingen, Germany, carle(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de Hartmut Ritter, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, hritter(a)inf.fu-berlin.de Klaus Wehrle, ICSI / University of Karlsruhe, wehrle(a)icsi.berkeley.edu Program Committee Joachim Charzinski, Siemens, Germany Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, U.K. Christophe Diot, Sprint ATL, USA Anja Feldmann, University of Munich, Germany Sally Floyd, ICSI/ICIR, Berkeley, USA Eddie Kohler, ICSI/ICIR, Berkeley, USA Jay Lepreau, University of Utah, USA Kathleen Nichols, PaketDesign, USA Vern Paxson, ICSI/ICIR, Berkeley, USA Jennifer Rexford, AT&T Research, USA Luigi Rizzo, University of Pisa, Italy Jim Roberts, CNET, France Telecom R&D, France Ralf Steinmetz, University of Darmstadt, Germany Don Towsley, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Martina Zitterbart, University of Karlsruhe, Germany _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
