-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] Fwd: SEAMS 2011: Third Call for Papers Von: "Kurt Geihs" <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: cfp(a)vs.uni-kassel.de,"Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme"" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE>,"ELG KUVS" <elg(a)kuvs.de> CC: CALL FOR PAPERS 6th International Symposium on Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems (SEAMS 2011) (Sponsored by ACM SIGSOFT and IEEE TCSE) Waikiki, Honolulu, USA 23-24 May 2011 http://2011.seams-symposia.org/ THEME An increasingly important requirement for a software-based system is the ability to self-manage by adapting itself at run time to handle changing user needs, system intrusions or faults, a changing operational environment, and resource variability. Such a system must configure and reconfigure itself, augment its functionality, continually optimize itself, protect itself, and recover itself, while keeping its complexity hidden from the user. The topic of self-adaptive and self-managing systems has been studied in a large number of specific areas, including software architectures, fault-tolerant computing, robotics, control systems, programming languages, and biologically-inspired computing. The objective of this symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners from many of these diverse areas to engage in stimulating dialogue regarding the fundamental principles, state of the art, and critical challenges of self-adaptive and self-managing systems. Specifically, we intend to focus on the software engineering aspects, including the methods, architectures, algorithms, techniques, and tools that can be used to support dynamic adaptive behavior that includes self-adaptive, self-managing, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-configuring, and autonomic software. TOPICS OF INTEREST We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia on all topics related to this important area. These include, but are not limited to: - formal notations for modeling and analyzing software self-adaptation - programming language support for self-adaptation - reuse support for self-adaptive systems (e.g., patterns, designs, code, etc.) - design and architectural support for the self-adaptation of software - algorithms for software self-adaptation - integration mechanisms for self-adaptive systems - evaluation and assurance for self-* systems (e.g., run-time verification) - modeling and analysis of adaptive systems (e.g., run-time models, cost-benefit analysis, architectural styles and patterns, requirements) - decision-making strategies for self-adaptive and self-organizing systems - support for run-time monitoring (for requirements, design, performance, etc.) - model problems and exemplars The following application areas are of particular interest: - mobile computing - dependable computing - autonomous robotics - adaptable user interfaces - service-oriented systems - autonomic computing PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS We are soliciting three types of papers: research papers and experience reports (up to 10 pages, ACM SIG Proceedings Format) and position papers for new ideas (up to 6 pages, ACM SIG Proceedings Format). Research papers should clearly describe the technical contribution and how the work has been validated. Experience reports should describe how an existing technique has been applied to real-world examples, including lessons learned from the experience. New idea papers provide an opportunity to describe novel and promising ideas and/or techniques that might not have been fully validated. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. The accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings that will be published as ACM conference proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] Springer MONET Journal - Special Issue on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media Von: "Claudia Barbosa" <cbarbosa(a)av.it.pt> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it CC: Dear colleague, Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. **************************************************************************** ************ CFP: Springer MONET Journal - Special Issue on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media **************************************************************************** ************ MONET: http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 The promise of a truly pervasive experience is to have the freedom to roam around anywhere and not be bound to a single location. However, the energy required to keep mobile devices connected to the network over extended periods of time quickly dissipates. In fact energy is a critical resource in the design of wireless networks, since wireless devices are usually powered by batteries and power consumption represents a major component of the operator´s network operational cost. There is added momentum for green radio to globally reduce the electromagnetic radiation levels to have a better coexistence of wireless system (less interference) as well as a reduced human exposure to radiation leading to the so called Green Wireless technologies. Hence, there is a clear need for disruptive strategies to address all aspects of power efficiency from the user devices through to the core infrastructure of the network and how these devices and equipment interact with each other. This special issue envisions contributions including different aspects on Future Internet for Green and Pervasive Media. Some relevant topics include: * Energy Efficient Radio Resource Management and Routing * Cooperative Communications * Cognitive Networks * QoE Multimedia for Future Internet * P2P Multimedia for autonomic wireless infrastructures. * Network Coding * Internet of things * Cross-layer and cross-System optimization strategies for wireless multimedia * Short-Range Communications * Resource and Mobility Management in Cooperative Network. * Dynamic Resource Management and bandwidth assignment for multimedia in heterogeneous wireless networks. * IMS for multimedia services in next generation networks. * 3D Video Coding * Context-aware networks and network-aware content *********************************** Guest Editors *********************************** Jonathan Rodriguez, Inst.

This full day workshop aims to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial perspectives and thinking to highlight and discuss recent progress in femtocell technologies. The list of promising new developments includes cooperative networks of femtocells and extending the classical concept of indoor femtocells to the outdoors, e.g. as fixed relays in macrocells for enhancing coverage and cell-edge capacity or as mobile femtocells in public transports. Self-organizing techniques for high capacity and optimum use of transmit power whilst minimizing OPEX and simplifying complexity for remote network management are vitally important to cope with expected multiple million femtocells networks. Scope and Objectives -------------------- In view of current standardization activities in 3GPP and IEEE, changing regulatory landscape and impetus from industrial bodies such as Femto Forum, this workshop focuses on presenting and debating advanced femtocell technologies that have the potential to be considered in future standards such as LTE-A to make the radio access solutions highly efficient with major leapfrog in spectral-efficiency per unit area, while minimizing the transmit power. Specifically, but not exclusively, the workshop proposes to address the following issues: * Optimization of Radio Access * New generation of baseband and radio frequency techniques * Smart interference management * Self-configuration and self-optimization techniques * Network management and architecture * Field Trials / Test-beds / Regulatory issues Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers need to be uploaded to the VTC Trackchair (http://vtc11s-workshops.trackchair.com), should be in English, not exceeding 5 double-column pages, and should follow IEEE paper templates. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplorer. They will be presented either orally or by means of a poster.

Because battery technologies have not yet matched advances in hardware and software technologies, saving energy in battery-operated devices is very important for mobile/wireless networks. Similarly, minimizing energy consumption in high performance computing centers will, in addition to saving power consumption, require less cooling mechanisms. These new challenges require innovative and effective optimization solutions for minimizing power consumption in distributed systems, such as energy-efficient scheduling algorithms and energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in addressing issues of concern and challenges related to optimizing computing system power consumption, energy efficient systems, and distributed systems. Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be welcome. The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms - Energy-efficient scheduling algorithms - Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols - Energy-efficient MAC protocols - Energy-efficient routing protocols - Voltage and frequency scaled networks - Energy-efficient communication protocols - Energy-efficient protocols/algorithms in PHY, IP layers or above - Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked systems - Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency - Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 450 words. The full manuscript should be at most 7 pages using the two-column IEEE format. Additional pages will be charged at additional fee. Please include page numbers on all submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Von: "Yang, Kun" <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: "tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu" <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: Deadline extended to 30 Nov. 2010 due to many requests. Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Socially-aware Wireless Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer review process.

It is designed to simulate discrete event systems, but the primary application area is the simulation of communication networks. The continuing goal of this workshop is to bring together OMNeT++ developers and their tools, applications and ideas. It provides a forum for presentations of recent developments and novel ideas in the broad area of network simulation, with focus on OMNeT++ and on the important topics of integrating simulation models, coupling different simulation tools and providing more accurate and more efficient modeling approaches. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + Evaluation and validation of simulation models + Comparison with other simulation/emulation tools + Parallel simulation and simulation control + Integration of hardware-specific code + Simulation in the loop + Cross-layer protocol design methodologies + Integration with other simulation tools + Result interpretation and analysis + Debugging + Simulation of communication networks + Industrial applications + Use of OMNeT++ in other domains Submission Instructions: This year, three types of submissions are possible for the authors: + Full papers (max. 8 pages) + Short papers (max. 4 pages) + Code contributions (max. 2 pages) ***NEW*** The first two types of submissions, full and short papers should be prepared in ACM conference proceedings format. OMNeT++ should play a key role as a tool to evaluate and study new systems, or to answer open research questions, or to provide novel simulation techniques. The papers that are accepted and presented at the workshop will appear in CD proceedings, in the ACM DL, and in EU-DL, along with the SimuTools 2011 proceedings. Selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of Simulation: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation, International. For the third type of submission, developers are encouraged to contribute extended abstracts of up to 2 pages describing new code contributions to OMNeT++ or model frameworks. The source code and a user manual should be submitted together with the extended abstract. Code contributions abstracts will be presented as posters at the workshop and will be made available to all participants and on the OMNeT++ website and download area. Please note that this type of submission will not be included in the ACM Digital Library, nor will it be indexed. However, if the contribution is of significant scientific value, authors are encouraged to submit it as a short paper instead.

While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focus on sensor nodes that are deployed in static, pre-determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and with packet forwarding that take place in multiple hops to sinks where storage and analysis takes place. The next step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all possible forms. Thus we need to consider the mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and of actuators as well as the mobility of the applications and their software. This extension towards represents a recent research subject in sensor networking that opens up a new research opportunities and challenges, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This Special Issue therefore aims at identifying the benefits and challenges raised by mobility in WSNs, addressing the state of the art and advances in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor-actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Topology coverage and connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - MAC protocols and QoS provisioning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data aggregation, fusion and dissemination techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Synchronization and scheduling issues in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Security, trust and privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation, evaluation and validation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications, testbeds and deployment experiences Submission: Submitted papers must be written in grammatically correct English and should describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] due on 12/1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 00:10:02 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [ Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: * Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, and stability * Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, and consumer handhelds * Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes * Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services * Network lab testing and field testing * Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds * Evaluating false positive and negative of network security * Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Network Testing Series." Articles to be considered for publication in the January 2011 issue must be submitted by June 1, 2010. Since this is a regular series, papers can be submitted at any time for consideration for subsequent issues.

Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the next years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We are looking forward to meeting you !

Fwd: [Tccc] 3rd CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization
by Lars Wolf 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 3rd CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization Datum: Wed, 03 Nov 2010 23:30:04 +0100 Von: Roland Bless <roland.bless(a)kit.edu> Organisation: Institute of Telematics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Hi, ** Extended Deadline November, 7th 2010! ** =============================================================== KIVS 2011 – NV Workshop Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization =============================================================== See http://tm.kit.edu/NV2011 for latest information. Network Virtualization (NV) is becoming an increasingly important technology for the deployment of new network architectures that try to go beyond the Internet’s current capabilities. Virtualization of whole networks allows for increased flexibility with respect to resource management as well as for an efficient deployment of different network architectures in parallel but isolated from each other (e.g., coexistence of 3G and different beyond 3G mobile networks on the same physical hardware). While some virtualization techniques are well known for links (e.g., VLANs, MPLS, Tunneling, VPNs, and so on) the challenges lie more in virtualization of network nodes, whole networks, and an efficient management thereof. Accordingly, network virtualization has received significant attention in the network research community, but it is a field that is just beginning to be understood; recently an IRTF research group has been formed for this topic. The current technological challenges and solutions for network virtualization are of interest in this workshop. In addition, major drivers for the success of network virtualization are the considered use cases that can be used to derive important requirements for NV architectures. Network virtualization allows providing specialized, dependable, and predictable networks (e.g., a global IP-TV network, a safe kids’ network or a banking network) and also supports network resource scalability, thereby reducing time and overhead required for an introduction of new services (e.g., starting small scale deployments that can grow fast if the service is becoming more mature and popular). The definition of such use cases helps to design and evaluate (technically and economically) NV solutions. The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent investigation on architectural and design issues as well as related implementation, experimentation, or simulation efforts towards realization of network virtualization for the future Internet. A particular focus lies on use cases for network virtualization. Original papers not under consideration of another conference, workshop or journal are encouraged to submit via Conftool (https://www.conftool.com/kivs11/). Submissions should be written in English, adhere to the eceasst format (special KIVS Workshop template for LaTeX and Word are provided), and comprise no more than 12 pages in total in this format. Accepted papers will be published in the Open-Access-Journal Electronic Communications of the EASST. Topics of interest for submissions include, but are not limited to: • Solutions and drivers • Virtualization technologies, platforms, and architectures • Use cases, applications and services enabled by NV • Business considerations and economic aspects • Network virtualization in data centers • Mobile virtual network operators • Control plane and management plane mechanisms for virtual networks • Resource allocation for co-existing networks • Radio access network sharing • Monitoring in virtualized environments, e.g. QoE or energy consumption • Network virtualization for energy efficiency • Isolation, performance and security Important Dates: ================ • 07.
