-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP VISA'10 (ACM SIGCOMM Workshop): 2 weeks till deadline! Datum: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:33:07 -0800 Von: Cedric J A. Westphal <cwestphal(a)docomolabs-usa.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS: VISA'10 2nd Workshop on Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures In Conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM'10, New Delhi, Aug 30th-Sept 3rd 2010 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/workshops/VISA Infrastructure virtualization has emerged as an important architecture and experimentation concept for the Internet infrastructure. The global computing and communication infrastructure will encompass (as it does today) a diverse and huge collection of networking, computing and storage resources. Together they need to form a coherent infrastructure and meet our society's requirements for the 21st century. There are many technical problems to solve to enable Infrastructure virtualization: how to discover, create and manage an infrastructure slice across diverse resources; how does virtualization extend into the data center or to the wireless edge; how to implement virtualization across heterogeneous resources and protocols; how to map an application or service to run on an infrastructure slice; what applications and capabilities are enabled by infrastructure virtualization; how does infrastructure virtualization impact the business models of network operators; and others. The goal of the workshop is to feature recent research and developments related to infrastructure virtualization; to allow exchange of ideas; and to help build a research and user community to explore and help realize the potential of infrastructure virtualization. We encourage the submission of position papers and of works which encompass the whole infrastructure virtualization (network and storage and computing resources). We solicit previously unpublished work on the following, non exhaustive, list of topics: TOPICS OF INTEREST - Infrastructure virtualization architecture; - Resource allocation to virtual slices; - Impact of infrastructure virtualization on the data center; - Management tools for infrastructure virtualization; - How can infrastructure virtualization enable or support cloud computing; - Isolation and slice independence in a virtualized infrastructure; - Integration of the wireless edge into a virtualized network; - Inter-operability and federation of virtualized infrastructures; - Cross-layer protocols for virtualized networks; - Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure; and - Security issues with virtualized infrastructure. IMPORTANT DEADLINES Paper submission deadline: March 25th, 2010 Acceptance notification: April 12th, 2010 Camera ready final submission: May 1st, 2010 Workshop: Monday August 30, or Friday September 3, 2010 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Please redistribute within your own group or among colleagues, thank you!] CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------- IEEE Pervasive Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Computing for Smart Energy Systems www.computer.org/PERVASIVE Important Dates: ----------------------------------- Submission Deadline: 1 Apr. 2010 Publication: Oct. - Dec. 2011 Description: ----------------------------------- Occupants of near-future buildings won’t necessarily be able to flip a light switch or adjust a thermostat to control building utilities. There may well be too many devices to easily control with direct “switches;” instead, they'll need to be driven by inferred intention or simple, intuitive, collective control. More crucially, as about 40 percent of the energy used in the US and most developed economies tends to be consumed in built infrastructure, energy conservation concerns will pull our hand off the dial as environments regulate themselves to accommodate occupants' objectives and best tend to their comfort while minimizing energy consumption. Accordingly, smart energy systems will be a strong application area of pervasive computing, as user state, behavior and context are measured, inferred, and leveraged across a variety of domains, environments, sensors, and actuators to dynamically mitigate energy usage. IEEE Pervasive Computing welcomes submissions on all aspects of smart energy systems relevant to our field, including, for example: * interactive systems for energy management; * dynamically adaptive energy management; * minimally invasive energy management systems (those that are simple, unobtrusive, easy-to-use, intuitive, and self-configuring); * engaging wearable and mobile devices in dynamic energy management; * wearable and sensed-infrastructure control of heating and lighting; * sensor networks for energy monitoring and control; * optimal collective management of diverse energy sources in living environments; * energy management in smart buildings; * unified energy management across home, office, and mobile contexts; * determining and utilizing user context in regulating energy; * persuasive computing to encourage users to minimize energy use; * exploiting social computing or game-like environments to encourage energy frugality; * utilizing diverse media to expose real-time and integrated energy consumption to users; * user interfaces to integrated and/or distributed smart energy systems; * smart grids in relation to pervasive computing; * smart integration of distributed, scalable, and affordable energy storage across appliances, buildings, and vehicles; * security, privacy, and policy in pervasive energy systems; * nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) and nonintrusive appliance load monitoring (NALM) techniques; and * hardware and/or software systems to enable pervasive smart energy environments and applications. In addition to feature-length articles, IEEE Pervasive Computing invites work-in-progress submissions of 250 words or less. Submit a WiPs report on your project to pvcwips(a)computer.org. Special Issue Guest Editors: ----------------------------------- * Joe Paradiso, MIT Media Lab, joep(a)media.mit.edu * Eve Schooler, Intel Research, eve.m.schooler(a)intel.com * Prabal Dutta, University of Michigan, prabal(a)eecs.umich.edu * Hans Gellersen, Lancaster University, hwg(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk Submission Guidelines: ----------------------------------- www.computer.org/pervasive/author.htm Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the magazine’s guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific publications, and will be edited according to the IEEE Computer Society editorial style. Submissions should be received by 1 April 2010 to receive full consideration.

To this end, the meeting aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications. The complexity of current and emerging computing systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated facets of a paradigm shift. The fourth edition of the SASO conference encourages submissions in both traditional themes of self-adaptivity and self-organization, as well as in emerging areas. Some of these new areas include (but are not limited to) Internet-enabled applications, cloud computing, social-networking, and the Internet of Things. These are enabling radically new and innovative services that will play an increasingly important role in society, business, and our day to day lives. The success of both new as well as traditional research areas ultimately depends on robust self-* hardware, software, networking, and services. Self-adaptive systems work in a top down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible. A challenge is often to identify how to change specific behaviors to achieve the desired improvement. Self-organizing systems work bottom up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to typically simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions. Here, a challenge is often to predict and control the resulting global behavior. Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. Topics The topics of interest to SASO include, but are not limited to: * Applications and experiences with self-* systems * Design and engineering for self-* systems (self-organization, self-adaptation, self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc.) * Management and control of self-* systems * Robustness and dependability of self-* systems * Control of emergent properties in self-* systems * Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems * Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems Submission Instructions All submissions should be 10 pages and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and submitted electronically in pdf format. Please register as authors and submit your papers using the SASO 2010 conference management system <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2010>. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE digital library. A separate call for poster submissions will be launched during March 2010. Review Criteria Papers should present novel ideas in the topic domains listed above, clearly motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. We expect claims of contribution to be clearly stated and substantiated by formal analysis, experimental evaluations, comparative studies, and so on. Appropriate reference must be made to related work. Authors are also encouraged to submit application papers. Application papers are expected to provide an indication of the real world relevance of the problem that is solved, including a description of the deployment domain, and some form of evaluation of performance, usability, or superiority to alternative approaches. If the application is still early work in progress, then the authors are expected to provide strong arguments as to why the proposed approach will work in the chosen domain.

Poster sessions are informal and highly interactive, and allow authors and interested participants to engage one another in in-depth discussions about the presented research work. Posters should cover the same key areas as Research Papers. Submissions in the following areas are particularly encouraged: * Self-organization * Self-adaptation * Other self-* properties (self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc.) * Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems * Management and control of self-* systems * Robustness and dependability of self-* systems * Approaches to engineering self-* systems * Control of emergent properties in self-* systems * Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems * Applications and experiences with self-* systems Submission Process For evaluation and selection, authors should submit an extended, two-pages abstract of their poster. The format of the extended abstract must comply with the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. Authors' submissions should be in pdf format. Submissions will be managed through the SASO 2010 conference management system <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2010>, similar to full papers. Poster authors should use the *poster track* for their submissions. Accepted Posters If selected, authors shall prepare a final, camera ready version of the extended abstract, taking into account all feedback from reviewers, and in a format compliant with the IEEE paper format for the conference (see the SASO 2010 <http://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/saso10/> web site for instructions). Posters are advertised in the Final Program, and authors' two-page extended abstracts will appear in the SASO 2010 Conference Proceedings, which will be distributed at SASO 2010. Poster Content All posters should include the following information: * The purpose and the goals of the work. * Any background and motivation needed to understand the work as well as any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie the work. * A clear summary of the contribution and/or results, in sufficient detail for a viewer to understand the work and its relevance.

Authors of accepted posters may be asked to point out relationships to work represented by other accepted posters. * Where to find additional information. This should include but is not restricted to: o a web site where viewers can go to find additional information about the work o how to contact the authors, including email addresses o citations for any papers, books, or other materials that provide additional information Poster Layout Guidelines The format of posters and the nature of poster sessions require authors to capture the viewers' attention effectively, and present the main traits that can help understand the context of their research work efficiently. For this reason, graphic representations, figures, and screen shots are typically the main medium of communication in successful posters.Few attendees will stop to read a large poster with dense text. If you use screen shots, please ensure that the shots print legibly and that the fonts are large enough to be read comfortably once they are placed on paper. Attendance At least one of the poster authors is required to register at the conference. She is required to give a brief presentation of the poster in the interactive poster session, and to stay with the poster so that she can discuss the work with conference attendees, for the duration of the scheduled poster sessions. For More Information For additional information, clarification, or questions, please contact the Posters Co-Chairs: Hartmut Schmeck <mailto:hartmut.schmeck@kit.edu> and Giuseppe (Peppo) Valetto <mailto:valetto@cs.drexel.edu> Poster Chairs Hartmut Schmeck <http://www.aifb.kit.edu/web/Hartmut_Schmeck/en>, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Giuseppe (Peppo) Valetto <http://www.cs.drexel.edu/%7Evaletto/>, Drexel University, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Call for Tutorials* *Important Dates* Proposal submission deadline: May 14, 2010 Acceptance notification: June 11, 2010 Notes submission deadline: July 28, 2010 Tutorial presentations: Sept 27 - Oct 1, 2010 Early registration deadline: August 13, 2010 *Scope* The SASO-2010 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held in association with the conference. SASO is a highly successful conference series which aims to bring together diverse communities working on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems to discuss new results and upcoming trends in this exciting area. The tutorial program has been initiated to support this aim. Tutorials should address one or more of the following objectives: * Introduce a major topic area of SASO research. * Survey a significant application / technology area of SASO. * Explain an area of SASO research relevant to industry. * Overview a particular approach or methodology for SASO work. * Highlight emerging SASO topics and techniques. * Explain SASO ideas originating from one community but applicable to others. For a guide on what topic areas, technologies and communities fall within the SASO focus refer to the Call for Papers, available on the conference website. It is not expected that tutorials will cover specific topics or techniques that are already covered in existing textbooks. For example, a tutorial on "genetic algorithms" would not be accepted. However, a tutorial that coherently shows how such an existing technique has been applied in innovative ways to solve SASO-relevant engineering problems would be acceptable. Novel and timely areas, approaches and paradigms are particularly encouraged. Proposals that promote only a single author's work or a specific commercial product are not encouraged. *Proposal Submission* Tutorial proposals, maximum 3 pages, should contain: * A descriptive title of the tutorial (max. 1 line). * A specification of the tutorial length, i.e. specify half day (approx. 4 hours) or full day (approx. 8 hours). * A brief, one paragraph, description of the tutorial suitable for publication on the SASO website and in other publicity material (max. half page). * A statement of why the tutorial is relevant / interesting for the potential conference audience (max. half page). * An outline syllabus of the topics to be covered in the tutorial - list a maximum of eight specific subtopic headings. For each heading list relevant keywords and, where necessary, references to representative published work that will be covered within that topic (max. one page). * Short resume of the presenter(s) including name, e-mail, home web-page URL, postal address, telephone and fax numbers and brief description of background in the tutorial area including evidence of teaching experience (previous courses / tutorials taught) and scholarship in the area (2 or 3 selected references to representative publications). If more than one presenter is listed, indicate which should be the corresponding contact (max. half page). *Proposal Acceptance* Tutorial submissions will be evaluated by the SASO Tutorial Chair in association with the General Co-Chairs. During the evaluation process the prospective speakers may be contacted to provide clarification or further information. Those submitting rejected proposals will be given reasons and feedback. For all accepted proposals SASO will provide: * Meeting place, publicity, logistics and registration for the tutorial. * Duplication and distribution of tutorial notes to participants. Tutorial organizers will provide: * A pdf file of their tutorial notes by the due date. * Presentation of their tutorial at SASO 2010. *Contact* Inquiries and proposals should be sent by e-mail to the Tutorial Chairs: Dr. Ron Li, CSIRO, Australia.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] special issue Elsevier PMC journal - Qos and Service Provisioning for Integrated Wireless Networks Datum: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 14:53:37 +0200 Von: Anagnostopoulos Ioannis <janag(a)aegean.gr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email] Call for Papers Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Qos and Service Provisioning for Integrated Wireless Networks Guest Editors: Dr. I. Anagnostopoulos, Assist. Prof I. Tinnirello, Prof. C. Douligeris Scope In recent years, the increased demand for all types of wireless services, as well as the increasing number of users in the wireless networks have led to the development of different wireless technologies, such as 3G networks, WLAN, WiMAX etc, with different advantages and disadvantages in terms of coverage, bandwidth, QoS, cost and mobility. Wireless users can only benefit from the integration of these heterogeneous technologies. More specifically, the integration of wireless networks offers a wide variety of services and gives the user the possibility to roam from the one network by only using a single terminal. The vision of “anytime, anywhere” communications is too close to become a reality, bringing benefits to both end users and service providers. However, besides of the benefits, the integration of the wireless and mobile networks imposes also great challenges as well. The goal of this special issue is to publish original research and review articles which should be comprehensive to all readers, regardless of their speciality. This special issue will be focused on issues concerning service and pricing models in integrated wireless networks. In particular we are interested in tutorial, survey and original research articles on, but not limited to the following topics: • Innovative Interworking architectures and scenarios in Integrated Wireless Networks • QoS and Service Provisioning • Business Modeling Tools • Unified accounting, billing and standards • Pricing models for Integrated Wireless Networks • TCP/IP services over Integrated Wireless Networks • Cost Estimation Mechanisms in Integrated Wireless Networks • Applications, Services and Service Convergence • Business and QoS SLA Parameters in Integrated Wireless Networks • Personalized and User-Oriented Services • Pricing and Subscription Database Techniques • Pricing Differentiated Services Manuscript Submission Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has been published in a conference, the submitted version should contain significant additions/enhancements (with at least 33% new material). Authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, it is important that authors select “QoS for Integrated Wireless Networks” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: March 31, 2010 Notifications: September 1, 2010 (this includes two rounds of reviews) Final Manuscripts Due: October 1, 2010 Special Issue: May 2011 Guest Editors’ Affiliation Dr. Ioannis E.

HINDAWI AHCI CfP: Special Issue on Subliminal Communication in HCI

09 Mar '10

HINDAWI ADVANCES IN HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION (AHCI) JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE ON SUBLIMINAL COMMUNICATION IN HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** Human- and computer-based interactions are ubiquitous in our everyday lives - everything from our mobiles, iPods, to a variety of computer systems creates serious cognitive demands when switching from one to the next. When used simultaneously, extra cognitive demands are placed on us and the likelihood of success is dependent upon our ability to apportion attention to multiple tasks simultaneously. To alleviate the cognitive load associated with interacting with varied computing-based devices, common UIs and modes of operation should be implemented, significantly reducing the amount of information we must store and recall. In addition, subtle cues could be emitted from the device to assist us during our interactions, prompting us toward the appropriate action required to effectively complete a task. These cues could be delivered in a variety of (communication channels), for instance, visual or auditory cues could be provided according to the specific nature of the current activity. In order to implement these features, UIs must be provided with the means to detect the nature of the current interaction set, rovide the subliminal cues across appropriate channels, and evaluate their success. This approach would benefit from a significant collaborative effort from a range of disciplines: engineering, neuroscience, computer science, psychophysiology, and related fields. The result of this approach provides exciting challenges which will significantly impact society at large, making significant contributions toward a more natural, convenient, and even relaxing future human-computer interface. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Compatibility of subliminal information transmission with other demands and conditions in the field of HCI - Limits of reproducibility - Influence in interaction with further explicit channels - Impact of subliminally delivered information on the cognitive load - Subliminally delivered information and the level of distraction - Subliminal interfaces for the automotive domain (head-up displays, vibro-tactile transducers embedded into the seat) - Basic characteristics of subliminally delivered information (reachable bandwidth, natural bounds, complexity of information, speed of perception) - Potential of subliminal cues to guide a person to the right course of action or to a specific emotional state - Hardware components, that is, interactive smart rooms, games with dynamic UIs - Analysis of subliminal processes, that is, implicit interaction/cognition, subliminal messaging, unconscious emotions Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ahci/guidelines.html.

For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guidelines and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE ComMag CFP: Synchronization over Ethernet and IP in Next-Generation Networks Datum: Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:34:24 +0800 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: Stefano Bregni <bregni(a)elet.polimi.it> Hi all, Below is a forwarded CFP from a colleague for your attention. Xiaoming ------------------------------------ Dear Colleagues, please find attached the *IEEE Communications Magazine CALL FOR PAPERS **Special Issue on Synchronization over Ethernet and IP in Next-Generation Networks Guest Editors Stefano Bregni, Polytechnic of Milan, Italy Ravi Subrahmanyan, National Semiconductor, USA * Network synchronization plays a central role in digital telecommunications. It determines the quality of most services provided by the network operator. Traditionally, synchronization has been distributed across telecommunications networks using the TDM links for which the networks were designed (i.e. E1 and DS1 circuits). Several fixed and mobile Operators are migrating to a next-generation network (NGN) with IP packet-switched network infrastructure. Ethernet transport is becoming increasingly commonplace. This trend is driven by prospected lower operative costs and by the convergence between fixed and mobile services. However, migrating trunk lines to IP transport poses significant technical challenges, especially for circuit emulation and synchronization of network elements. The evolution of communications networks towards packet-switching has increased interest in the distribution of synchronization using packet methods. This has a twofold impact: 1) synchronization distribution over packet networks using packet-based methods has become a focus of activity in the standards bodies (ITU-T G.8261/2/3 and IEEE 1588); 2) the traditional model, in which synchronization distribution is engineered carefully for optimal performance, may give way to scenarios in which there is a greater expectation of ad-hoc synchronization quality achieved without as much need for provisioning as has traditionally been the case similar to Ethernet plug and play. The latter point widens the scope of interest in synchronization beyond specialists to the wider audience of telecommunications engineers. A striking example is the distribution of synchronization to next-generation wireless base-stations, which are connected to the core network only via packet-switched networks, but still require highly accurate synchronization to meet service quality expectations. *Scope of contributions * The scope of the issue includes, but is not limited to the following topics of interest: - key emerging standards in the area of synchronization over packet networks; - timing scenarios in various network applications; - tutorial papers describing packet network characteristics which impact synchronization transport; - implementation challenges in achieving high-quality synchronization using the new technologies; - carrier and vendor experience in deployment; - measurement techniques for characterizing and qualifying packet-based synchronization. * **Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations are allowed). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. The number of references is recommended to not exceed 10 (maximum 15).

Please register your paper before March 14, 2010. The 2nd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurement (HotPlanet) co-located with ACM MobiSys '10, San Francisco, CA, USA June 15, 2010 http://www.hotplanetconf.net/10/ Important dates: Paper registration deadline: March 14, 2010 Submission deadline: March 21, 2010 Authors notification: April 18, 2010 Camera ready: May 7, 2010 Workshop date: June 15, 2010 It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. Following a successful introductory event at ACM MobiSys 2009, this year's workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces. Our aim is to highlight the issues in collecting data on a planet-wide scale, so that the community can help develop mechanisms to collect, share and analyse such data. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology - Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets - New analyses and applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterisation and modelling - Planet-scale data collection infrastructures - Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection - Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to collect and contribute data on a planet-wide scale - Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection - Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form<http://www.acm.org/publications/copyright_form>.

06 Mar '10

Dear Sirs, I would like to bring your attention to the following call for papers. Should you need any clarification or further information I will be glad to oblige. IJARAS also hosts special issues addressing specific topics. Tentative guest editors are also welcome to forward their proposals. Thank you very much. With kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio http://www.pats.ua.ac.be/vincenzo.deflorio ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* ***SIXTH and SEVENTH ISSUES*** SUBMISSION DUE DATE: March 31 2009 (sixth issue), June 30, 2010 (seventh issue) International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association www.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, University of Antwerp/PATS & IBBT, Ph.D. Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS & IBBT, Belgium Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy Llorenç Cerdà-Alabern - Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Spain Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy Filip De Turck, Intec group, University of Ghent, Belgium Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland Konrad Klöckner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS: Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and the surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems constantly re-optimizing in view of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). It introduces a problem, which implies a research direction --- a thesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering are regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * Self-* systems. SUBMITTING TO IJARAS: Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished articles will be considered. INTERESTED AUTHORS MUST CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.p… <http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.p…> PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. All article submissions will be forwarded to at least 3 members of the Editorial Review Board of the journal for double-blind, peer review. Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP]: ACM/IFIP/USENIX 11th International Middleware Conference 2010 Datum: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 09:55:11 -0500 Von: Ningfang Mi <ningfang(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CFP: Middleware 2010 (Submission Due: May 23, 2010) (Please accept our apologies for cross posting) ======================== Middleware 2010 ACM/IFIP/USENIX 11th International Middleware Conference November 29 - December 3, 2010, Bangalore, India http://2010.middleware-conference.org/index.html ======================== CALL FOR PAPERS The Middleware conference is a forum for the discussion of important innovations and recent advances in the design, implementation, deployment, and usage of middleware. Middleware is a distributed-systems software that resides between a rich variety of applications on the one hand, and the underlying architecture on the other hand which may consist of the OS, hardware, and network stacks or even databases, storage and different cloud services. The goals of middleware include providing abstractions, programmability, performance, scalability, security, and a variety of essential features. This is a rapidly evolving and growing field. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 11th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research and technology in 2010. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed system platforms and architectures for current and future computing, storage, and communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, poster and demo presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops. Submissions on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: Middleware platforms: * Middleware for emerging cloud computing, datacenters, and server farms * Middleware for traditional clusters and Grid computing * Middleware for data-intensive computing * Middleware for mobile devices, ubiquitous and mobile computing * Middleware for sensor and embedded systems * Middleware for Web services and Web-service composition * Event-based, publish/subscribe, and message-oriented middleware * Middleware for system management and monitoring * Middleware for next generation telecommunication platforms * Internet-based communication protocols and data transfer middleware * Middleware support for multimedia and tele-immersion * Middleware supporting service-oriented architectures * Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective middleware approaches * Semantic middleware * Middleware solutions for distributed databases * Peer-to-peer middleware solutions * Novel middleware solutions for industry frameworks Systems issues for Middleware: * Reliability and fault-tolerance * Scalability and performance * Energy- and power-aware techniques * Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling * Security and Information assurance * Storage and file systems * Parallelized execution and techniques * Dynamic configuration and self- or autonomic- management of middleware * Real-time solutions and quality of service * Evaluation and deployment: challenges, techniques and lessons Design principles and tools: * Programming frameworks, parallel programming and design methodologies for middleware * Empirical and deployment studies for middleware solutions * Debugging and distributed debugging of middleware * Probabilistic Techniques and approaches for middleware * Methodologies and tools for middleware design, implementation, verification, and evaluation * Formal methods, verification and software engineering for middleware * Old Wine: Revisiting classical middleware paradigms, e.g., object models, aspect orientation, etc. ========================= Industry Papers The conference strongly encourages submission of industry-focused papers and use case studies; full papers should be submitted to the main program, where they will be reviewed using appropriate criteria (e.g. emphasizing experience and system evolution), and accepted papers will be published in the main conference proceedings. Additionally, short industry-focused papers (10 pages, Springer LNCS style) may be submitted to a special industrial track; accepted short papers will be presented at the conference and published in the ACM Digital Library. Note that submissions to the main program may indicate a willingness to be referred to the Industrial Track if a paper is not accepted to the main program. Big Ideas Papers This year, we particularly encourage "big ideas papers"; that is papers that have the potential for opening up new research directions. For such papers, the potential to motivate new research is more important than full experimental evaluation, though some preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the approach or idea is important. Authors should indicate in the introduction that their paper is a vision of a big idea, rather than more mature work. Such papers should clearly indicate why the idea is revolutionary and not evolutionary; what the major questions still to be answered are; and possible avenues of attack for the community to pursue towards the development of the idea. ========================= Submission Guidelines Submissions will be handled via the conference web page at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/Middleware2010 ========================= Important Dates May 16, 2010: Abstract Submission May 23, 2010 (11:59pm PST): Paper Submission August 5, 2010: Notification of acceptance August 20, 2010: Camera ready due November 29 - December 3, 2010: Conference ========================= There will be a separate call for workshops, for tutorials, and for the Doctoral Symposium. Please check the website for dates. ========================= Program Committee Chairs Indranil Gupta, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge Program Committee Karl Aberer, EPFL, Swtzerland Katerina Argyraki, EPFL, Switzerland Jean Bacon, University of Cambridge, UK Christian Becker, Universitaet Mannheim, Germany Yolande Berbers, KUL-DistriNet, Belgium Bharat Bhargava, Purdue University, USA Gordon Blair, University of Lancaster, UK Raj Kumar Buyya, University of Melbourne, Australia Renato Cerqueira, PUC-Rio, Brazil Roy Campbell, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Brian F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition Datum: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 12:52:24 +0100 Von: Anders Lindgren <andersl(a)sics.se> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please note that the workshop is held the week after Sigcomm 2010 (which is in Delhi), so if you plan to attend Sigcomm, the extra travel expenses for ExtremeCom will be small. Also make sure to check the web site for the exciting opportunity offered to the recipient of the best student paper award. /Anders -------- Call for Papers and Demos for The 2nd Extreme Workshop on Communication - The Himalayan Expedition (ExtremeCom 2010) September 4-10, 2010 The Extreme Workshop on Communication (ExtremeCom) intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas related to challenged networks in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. Such networks include delay and disruption tolerant networks, sparse sensor networks, power-efficient networking, as well as other networking paradigms for rural and remote areas. We aim to do this through a real-life experience in the Indian Himalayan region. Dharamsala, where the workshop will take place, is a well-frequented and loved destination for visitors. This mountainous town presents a unique mix of cultures and spiritual traditions and is also a starting point to a number of spectacular trekking trails. Dharamsala is also the place where Dharamsala Community Network came to life in February 2005, following the deregulation of WiFi for outdoor use in India. Built and operated by AirJaldi, a social enterprise, the network grew from 8 campuses in 2005 to over 2,000 computers spread in campuses, offices and homes within a radius of 70Km. in and around Dharamsala. AirJaldi is building additional networks in other rural locations in India. The ExtremeCom 2010 workshop is planned around AirJaldi’s Dharamsala network’s locations and facilities, thereby giving participants a great opportunity to be involved in a real-life network deployment. The workshop will start with a four-day field trip into the mountain regions around Dharamsala. During this time, participants will be given the opportunity to hike along the trails in the mountains, visit local villages and Tibetan settlements and meet the local population and users of the network. The combination of trekking and meetings will give participants a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of the network, as well as provide opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants who have their own solutions for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. (We are currently planning the mountain-based part of the workshop and some details are subject to change.) During the field trip, participants will be given the chance to work with AirJaldi to set up more relays, for example in schools along the hiking trail (details to be provided at a later stage). Upon reaching the end of the hike, we will conduct a two-day technical session in a more traditional conference venue with paper presentations and demos. The focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the recent field experience they have gone through together will give participants the ability to view and discuss the topics presented with additional insights. Authors should submit a 6-page paper outlining ideas and visions about the topics of the workshop or alternatively a 2-page proposal for a demo to be shown during the workshop. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the workshop are especially solicited. The aim of the workshop is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Networked applications and services Due to logistics and the need to conduct the workshop in harmony with the local population and the environment, the number of participants may be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers. ***************************************************************************** Important dates --------------- Submission deadline: April 30, 2010 Notification of acceptance: May 30, 2010 Registration deadline: June 30, 2010 Workshop dates: September 4-10, 2010 ***************************************************************************** Organizers ---------- General co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Hosts: AirJaldi.Org Local arrangements chair: Michael Ginguld, AirJaldi, India Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St. Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Bengt Ahlgren, Swedish Insitute of Computer Science, Sweden Elizabeth M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] New Deadline: SI on Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCN Datum: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 18:12:53 -0400 Von: Eduardo Nakamura <efnaka(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CFP: SI on Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCN [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus New Submission Deadline: April 25, 2010 (original deadline: February 28, 2010) The Information Fusion Journal (IFJ), an Elsevier publication (JCR 2008: 2.057), is planning a special issue devoted to Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks. Resource-Constrained Networks (RCNs) include a wide variety of networks in which resources – such as processing, communication, and energy – are limited. Examples of RCNs include ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mobile networks, and pervasive systems. In RCNs, the tradeoff between data quality and resource usage (especially energy) is a major concern. In this case, Localized Algorithms and Information Fusion are particularly interesting for RCNs, since the development of efficient practical solutions and algorithms is possibly the most challenging task for such networks. On one hand, Localized Algorithms are special distributed algorithms in which only a subset of nodes partakes in the network tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, and communication. On the other hand, Information Fusion is often used for improving the quality of data being transmitted in these networks. Thus, Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion must deal with the challenge of working with partial views, or incomplete data, to provide accurate results at reduced cost. This special issue will cover a broad range of aspects of Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCNs, including ad hoc and mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, networked pervasive systems. We seek technical papers describing original (previously unpublished in any form or forum) ideas, groundbreaking results, and quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight practical deployments of RCNs, new application domains, and critical surveys of the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - In-network query processing and data storage; - Localized signal processing; - Localized estimation, reasoning, and inference; - Localized information fusion for time synchronization; - Localized information fusion for location discovery and location-based services; - Localized information fusion for reliability and fault tolerance; - Localized information fusion for communication protocols at all layers (MAC, scheduling, routing, transport, and application); - Quality-aware resource management using localized information fusion; - Mobility control and coordination; - Optimization techniques for localized information fusion in homogeneous and heterogeneous RCNs; - Localized information fusion for data compression and distributed source coding. Manuscripts must describe original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should follow the Information Fusion (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus. In the submission process, the authors should clearly indicate that the submission is to be considered for this special issue. Manuscripts must be in single-column format, doublespaced, and at least 11 pt fonts. Simultaneously, please also send without fail an electronic copy (PDF only), to the Guest Editor(s) listed below.

QoEMCS submission deadline extended: Quality of Experience for Multimedia Content Sharing workshop at EuroITV 2010
by Shelley Buchinger 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

I am looking forward to interesting and lively discussions at the workshop. Best regards, Shelley *** Paper submission deadline has been extended to 22nd of March *** [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ==================================================== QoEMCS Call for papers http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== Quality of Experience for Multimedia Content Sharing at EuroITV2010 (www.euroitv2010.org) Tampere, Finland. 9th June 2010 * Important Dates: - 22nd March 2010: Workshop paper submission - 5th April 2010: Notification of acceptance - 22nd April 2010: Camera-ready submission - 9th June 2010: QoEMCS Workshop at EuroITV 2010 Workshop web site: http://dcti.iscte.pt/events/qoemcs/ ==================================================== In recent years, it has been realized that the success of multimedia services or applications not only depends on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters but also relies on the analysis of the entire user experience (UX). The relevance of this paradigm ranges from IPTV or video-on-demand systems for distributing and sharing professional TV to user-generated content over the web. To obtain a pleasurable user experience far more aspects than QoS have to be taken into account. Major challenges in this context include the identification of relevant UX factors and the quantification of their influence on Quality of Experience (QoE). In particular, context awareness and assessment of users? expectations play an essential role. This is further justified by the emergence of new multimedia enhancement techniques, notably 3DTV and Free Viewpoint. Future Internet architectures under current research are also promising on the possibility to accommodate protocols and policies that take QoE issues into consideration. Consequently, acquired knowledge on the context and on identified parameters affecting users? experience could be used to improve media delivery. * Workshop objectives The objective of this workshop consists in collecting and developing knowledge on the following three main topics defining the session structure of the workshop: - Context awareness for multimedia applications (video on demand on the web, content sharing, user-generated & professional content, IPTV, social aspects, sensors, energy efficiency) - Content and context aware quality measurements (user-generated & professional content, live & on demand) - Content and context aware interplay between media service/applications and network strategies. Namely, QoE support in the future internet architectures. * Research topics The central research question consists in determining key elements (including content and context information) for QoE assessment and evaluation of web.sharing.tv.content and to use this information to shape the future internet. - Context awareness - QoE for content sharing over the web and for IPTV - Subj./Obj. quality evaluation in the context of use, context-aware solutions (situation specificity, interactivity, user-generated & professional content) - Media Transmission over the Future Internet - 3D Multimedia and Free ViewPoint - Interactive multimedia QoE support * Submission Workshop papers should not exceed a maximum length of three pages and follow the ACM Style Guidelines (http://webhotel2.tut.fi/emmi/euroitv2010/node/37). Please send your workshop paper to: shelley.buchinger(a)univie.ac.at * Publication Workshop contributions will be published in the EuroITV proceedings. * Technical Program Committee - Sergio Becker, Orange Labs, (FR) - Manora Caldera, Curtin University of Technology (AUS) - Touradj Ebrahimi, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Markus Fiedler, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) - Helmut Hlavacs, University of Vienna (AUT) - Maulana Kusuma, Gunadarma University (ID) - Hendrik Knoche, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) - Patrick Le Callet, Université de Nantes (FR) - Andreas Mauthe, Lancaster University (UK) - Maria Paula Queluz, Instituto de Telecomunicações and IST (POR) - Bijan Rohani, Phybit, (SG) - Burkhard Stiller, Universität Zürich (CH) * Organizing Committee - Shelley Buchinger, University of Vienna (AUT) - Rui Jorge Lopes, Instituto de Telecomunicações and ISCTE-IUL (POR) - Satu Jumisko-Pyykkö, Tampere University of Technology (FIN) - Hans-Jürgen Zepernick, Blekinge Institute of Technology (SWE) ======================================================== _______________________________________________ ituvidq mailing list ituvidq(a)its.bldrdoc.gov http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/mailman/listinfo/ituvidq

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] Call For Papers - TwUC 2010 Datum: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 20:06:48 +0100 Von: Thomas Grill <tom(a)tk.uni-linz.ac.at> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, You are cordially invited to submit a paper to the 4th International Workshop on Trustworthy Ubiquitous Computing (TwUC2010 which is going to take place in Paris, France, on Nov 8-10, 2009 in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services (iiWAS2010). Could you please help us distribute the attached Call for Papers to friends and colleagues who might be interested. Best regards, Thomas Grill P.S.: This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for possible duplicate postings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS - TwUC 2010 Fourth International Workshop on Trustworthy Ubiquitous Computing (TwUC 2010) November 8-10, 2010, Paris, France http://www.twuc.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Fourth International Workshop on the vision of a trustworthy ubiquitous computing will be held on November 8-10, 2010, in Paris, France. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 12th international conference on Advances in Mobile Multimedia (iiWAS2010) and the 8thInternational Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia (MoMM2010). TwUC covers aspects of trust in ubiquitous computing environments. The aspects of context, privacy, reliability, usability and user experience related to ubiquitous computing environments represent the main topics of the workshop. Marc Weiser presented his vision of disappearing and ubiquitous computing more than 15 years ago. The big picture of the computer introduced into our environment was a big innovation and the starting point for various areas of research. In order to totally adopt the idea of ubiquitous computing several houses were build, equipped with technology and used as laboratory in order to find and test appliances that are useful and could be made available in our everyday life. Within the last years industry picked up the idea of integrating ubiquitous computing and already available products like remote controls for your house were developed and brought to the marked. In spite of many applications and projects in the area of ubiquitous and pervasive computing the success is still far away. One of the main reasons is the lack of acceptance of and confidence in this technology. Although researchers and industry are working in all of these areas a forum to elaborate security, reliability and privacy issues, that resolve in trustworthy interfaces and computing environments for people interacting within these ubiquitous environments is important. The user experience factor of trust thus becomes a crucial issue for the success of a UbiComp application. The goal of the TwUC 2010 workshop is to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers and industry to address recent research results and to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences on all theoretical and practical issues. Topics of Interest The conference program will include peer reviewed full papers around but not limited to the following topics: - Usability and HCI in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Methods and concepts to enhance and ensure usability in UbiComp environments User experience in ubiquitous environ- ments - User satisfaction and trust in ubiquitous environments - User perceived QoS, usability and quality of experience (QoE) - Trust and context in ubiquitous environments - Trust and the design of UbiComp appliances User centred design in ubiquitous environments - User centred evaluation methods in ubiquitous environments - Security in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Security issues and technologies - Usage policies - Identity and access - Threat and vulnerability - Malicious software in ubiquitous environments and its effect on trust - Trusted computing and platforms - Reliability in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Software design - Software quality and metrics - Methods and concepts to enhance and ensure reliability in UbiComp applications and environments - Privacy in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Issues and appliances on privacy in ubiquitous computing environments - Data and information ownership - Souvereignity of social and technical methods for ensuring confidentiality IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission July 15, 2010 Acceptance Notification August 30, 2010 Camera-Ready Papers September 30, 2010 TwUC 2010 Workshop November 8-10, 2010 PUBLICATION All accepted conference papers will be published together with the iiWAS2010 / MoMM2010 proceedings by the ACM digital library and the Austrian computer society books@ocg books series.

Fwd: [Tccc] Call for Papers: JCM Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers: JCM Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications Datum: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 13:56:18 +1100 Von: Lavy Libman <lavy.libman(a)sydney.edu.au> Organisation: University of Sydney An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive duplicate copies of this CFP. ----- CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications The promise of safer roads and enhanced driver experience enabled by radio communication of location and traffic information among vehicles (V2V), as well as between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (V2I), has attracted researchers for a long time. Generally, progress has been relatively slow until a significant boost in the last few years became possible thanks to recent developments in standardization and enabling technology. The progress achieved in the development of the IEEE 802.11p standard for the PHY and MAC communication layers and the IEEE 1609 suite of standards defining higher-layer functionalities, such as resource management and security, and the allocation of spectrum in the Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) band in several countries, have led to growing experimental testbed evaluation of related technologies by industry and state road authorities. Despite these advances, the space of road and vehicular communications is in its infancy compared to more mature applications such as Wi-Fi or cellular networks, in both the fundamental research and the practical sense. There are many open questions remaining, ranging from physical-layer issues of the wireless channel behavior in the highly dynamic and interference-prone outdoor road environment, to specialized solutions for channel access, routing and mobility management, and to novel communication paradigms that go beyond the traditional point-to-point exchange of messages (e.g. geocasting). Above all, it is not yet clear which of the wealth of potential applications, ranging from safety and collision avoidance to driver assistance to traffic management to passenger infotainment, will take hold in the market and prove to be popular with the public. The Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications is soliciting original contributions on related advances in theoretical research, standardization work, experimental evaluation, and practical implementation and deployment. Submissions reporting on accomplished results as well as detailed surveys of the state-of-the-art are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Wireless channel behavior in the road and vehicular environment * Transceiver design for vehicles and roadside infrastructure * Medium-access protocols for vehicular communication * Protocols and algorithms for vehicular networks (VANET) * Cooperative communication and relaying * Opportunistic routing and forwarding * Location, navigation and mobility management * Geographical routing methods * Security and privacy in vehicular communications * V2V and V2I communications * Intra-vehicle wireless communication * Public transport communication systems * DSRC/WAVE standards * Experimental evaluation and testbed deployments * Applications of road and vehicular communications in safety and traffic management Submission Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Submissions should follow the author guidelines of Journal of Communications and the complete instructions for prospective authors can be found at http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/forauthors.html. For further questions or inquiries, please contact the corresponding guest editor (Lavy Libman, lavy.libman(a)sydney.edu.au).

Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Mon, 1 Mar 2010 15:24:05 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> New submission deadline: 21st of March 2010 due to 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: Wireless Networks that are aware of social network knowledge *) 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.

Selected * * accepted papers will be published in a special issue of * * Journal of Communications (JCM). * * * ********************************************************************** Scope of SWiM 2010: =================== The advances in wireless technologies and mobile devices have enabled the realization of a wide range of wireless networking opportunities. The coexistence of wireless heterogeneous networks has been widely recognized, and it has become more and more common that new mobile devices get equipped with multiple and heterogeneous wireless interfaces. Furthermore, the recent advances in software-defined and cognitive radio technologies promise even more diversity and heterogeneity. This brings about a lot of opportunities and challenges for mobile wireless networking. With the emerging wireless technologies, mobility has more generic meaning than just node movement as in the traditional sense. It also means that when the operational environment changes (such as frequency and power), a node or the network adapts to the environmental changes, which requires the cognitive capability. On one hand, it is of critical importance that seamless, low latency and transparent services are provided to the users, via potentially multiple heterogeneous wireless technologies or opportunistic spectrum access involved during the course of node movement or environmental changes. Environment cognizance, spectrum-aware mobility management, and vertical handoff become critical components in the solution space. On the other hand, host and network mobility also affects the performance of network protocols significantly, while at the same time allows opportunistic interconnections of heterogeneous networks, which in turn makes mobility adaptability an important design issue. This asks the design of wireless architectures, protocols, spectrum management, and mobility management mechanisms to be revisited. Cohesive with the main theme of Globecom 2010 --- "moving into the age of mobile interactivity", SWiM 2010 welcomes original submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent advances in architecture, system, protocol, modeling, and testbed design, as well as emerging applications and standards to enable seamless mobility and transparency in wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architecture, system, and protocol design for seamless roaming support in wireless networks - Spectrum cognition and agility associated with mobility - Vertical handoff and seamless integration of heterogeneous networks - Location tracking, positioning, and address management - Mobility modeling and theoretical/experimental validation - Mobility impact on routing, resource/power/QoS management - Adaptive and resilient protocols for seamless mobility support at all layers, as well as cross-layer approaches - Security and privacy issues under mobility and network access - Emerging standards and applications on mobility - Simulation/testbed tools and experimental measurements Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline : July 2, 2010 Notification of acceptance : August 13, 2010 Camera-ready version : August 31, 2010 Workshop Date : December 10, 2010 Submission Details: =================== SWiM 2010 will only accept original, previous unpublished papers.

With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer.

Khan <samee.khan(a)ndsu.edu> Organisation: North Dakota State University An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Green Networks a special issue of the Journal of Supercomputing, Springer The past decade has witnessed tremendous growth in networking protocols, technologies, and provisioning. Networks now include media such as wired, wireless, ad hoc, WiFi, WiMax, and satellite. In essence, the entire planet is engulfed in information overflow because of networked computing devices, such as supercomputer centers, data repositories, and data centers. The aforementioned advancements are plausible and must be appreciated. However, researchers have not actively explored novel computer network architectures and communication protocols that reduce carbon footprint. Techniques and methodologies, such as the co-scheduling of computational, storage, and network resources, dynamic circuit management, virtualization, migration, remote I/O utilization, redundancy, and information mitigation promise interesting and viable solutions that can enable green networking. The special issue will primarily focus on theoretical and practical novel solutions that advance the research in green networking. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Future green network architectures and communication protocols • Energy-efficient access networks • Overlay networks • Peer-to-peer networking • Content-based energy-efficient networking • Network virtualization • Traffic engineering for maintaining an energy-efficient network • Multi-layer and multi-domain green networks • Green congestion control protocols • Network planning and optimization for green networking • Energy-efficient transmission technologies • Energy management in communication networks • Energy-efficient mobile and wireless access networks • Cross-layer optimization techniques for efficient energy consumption • Energy-efficient switch and base station architectures • Network survivability and network resilience strategies • Provisioning, monitoring, and management of networks • Traffic measurement and analysis • Green architectures for next generation routers • Appliance energy management in home and office networks • Instrumentation, tools and profiling techniques for energy consumption Guest Editors ------------- Samee U.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] {Spam? 4.57 } IEEE Wireless Comm. Magazine: deadline approaching for “Internet of Things” S.I. Datum: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:03:26 +0100 Von: Antonio Iera <antonio.iera(a)unirc.it> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ******************************************************************* IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? Manuscript Due March 15th, 2010 ******************************************************************* Call for Papers Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine In the last few years, a stimulating idea is fast emerging in the wireless scenario: the pervasive presence around us of a variety of "things" or "objects", such as devices, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, which, through unique addressing schemes, are able to interact with each other and cooperate with their neighboring "smart" components to reach common goals. This novel paradigm, named "The Internet of Things", continues on the path set by the concept of smart environment and paves the way to the deployment of numerous applications with a significant impact on many fields of future every-day life. In this context, logistics, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Business/Process management, assisted living, e-health are only a few examples of possible application fields in which this novel paradigm will play a leading role. How to implement this novel paradigm and how effective its introduction into citizens' every-day life is, still remains to be investigated. Key objectives of any R&D activity in the field are: efficient and effective wireless spectrum utilization, full interoperability of "smarts" devices, their adaptation and autonomous behavior, as well as trust, privacy, and security guarantees. From a wireless communications and networking perspective, the Internet of Things idea raises several challenging issues to address and technological nodes to untie. Which major technological innovations and developments are still required to enable a level of "ambient intelligence", characterized by the integration of wired and wireless "smart" components? Which sustainable standards, technologies, global communication protocols, and algorithms at the various layers of the system protocol stack (from the physical to the application layer) shall be introduced with the aim of allowing a vast amount of information to be shared amongst things and people when wireless links and technologies are involved? Which is the role of widely accepted wireless communications paradigms for peer to peer communications, machine-to-machine communications, and machine-to-network communications in a IoT perspective? Could the use of middleware mechanisms represent a feasible and effective solution to the problem of integrating Radio Frequency devices and wireless sensors into a common IoT framework? Are the proposed trust, privacy, and security models able to make people trust in these novel technologies instead of being afraid of an external surveillance and, more relevantly, are they still effective when involved "things" communicate wirelessly? An attempt to provide a partial answer to these and many other related questions will form the main scope of the present special issue. More specifically we are interested in the wireless communications and networking aspects involved by the introduction of the Internet of Things concept, and therefore solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Internet of Things infrastructures, communication systems, network architectures * Mobile Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks * Network management, distributed processing (e.g. access, scheduling, radio resource management, etc.), scalability, and cooperation issues in integrated wired-wireless scenarios for the Internet of Things * Internet of Things enabling ubiquitous and wireless technologies * Security and privacy management for wirelessly communicating "things" and users * RFID technology and RFID middleware * Electromagnetic aspects related to the Internet of Things * Machine-to-machine and machine-to-network communications in the presence of wireless links * Inter-vehicle communications and seamless connectivity * Location and tracking through navigation sensors * Internet of Things applications in research projects * Standardization and regulation (e.g. spectrum allocation and radio frequency exposure protection) issues for the Internet of Things Submission of original contributions is solicited on the above topics as well as others relevant to the "Internet of Things" concept. All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.
