[Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS: LOCAN, 14-16, Dec. 2009, China
by Guoliang Xing 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LOCAN 2009 The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/locan2009 In conjunction with MSN, 14-16, Dec. 2009 Wu Yi Mountain, China Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MSN main proceedings and will be published by the IEEE Press and EI-indexed. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format) through EasyChair "http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=locan09". For submission-related questions, please contact program co-chairs.

[Tccc] ReArch'09 Workshop (co-located with ACM CoNEXT) - deadline extended to August 13
by Tilman Wolf 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

ReArch'09 Workshop - Re-Architecting the Internet Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/rearch Extended Submission Deadline: August 13, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management requirements give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regards to its original design principles. Although these developments are necessary in the short term to allow the Internet to continue to operate under the present economical, technical and social conditions, in combination, they have significantly reduced the potential for longer-term evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives are underway in Europe, the Americas and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. The first solution proposals in this space have already started to be analyzed. ReArch'09 - the second instance of this workshop since its very successful debut at CONeXT 2008 - will discuss the underlying problems of the Internet architecture and protocols and debate how we might fix them in a way that regains us the original architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'09 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, the following impact: * New networking paradigms * New business models * New routing architectures * New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms * Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify architectural limitations * New architecture proposals and their implications for research and operations * New protocols to address specific architectural limitations * Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself * Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture * Principles of evolving future architectures * Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and attempt to stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked as such. Submission must be original and not already be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be formatted according to the standard ACM double column format *except* that *all* text must use a font size of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submit papers via EDAS at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 Submission Deadline: August 6, 2009 Notification Deadline: September 10, 2009 Camera Ready Deadline: October 1, 2009 ReArch'09: December 1, 2009 Committees Workshop Co-Chairs Lars Eggert, Nokia Research Center & TKK, Finland Tilman Wolf, University of Massachusetts, USA Technical Program Committee Bengt Ahlgren, SICS, Sweden Mark Allman, ICSI, USA Bob Briscoe, BT Group, United Kingdom Brian Carpenter, University of Auckland, New Zealand Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Kevin Fall, Intel Research, USA Pierre Francois, UC Louvain, Belgium James Griffioen, University of Kentucky, USA Robert Hancock, Roke Manor Research, United Kingdom Mark Handley, University College London, United Kingdom Hiroaki Harai, NICT, Japan Daniel Massey, Colorado State University, USA Martin May, Thomson Research, France Akihiro Nakao, Univeristy of Tokyo, Japan Pekka Nikander, Ericsson Research Nomadiclab, Finland Craig Partridge, BBN Technologies, USA George Rouskas, North Carolina State University, USA Peter Steenkiste, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Christian Vogt, Ericsson Research, USA Klaus Wehrle, RWTH Aachen, Germany Rolf Winter, NEC Network Labs, Germany Martina Zitterbart, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Steering Committee Marcelo Bagnulo, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain Olivier Bonaventure, UC Louvain, Belgium Kenjiro Cho, IIJ, Japan Joe Touch, USC/ISI, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Multimedia Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Datum: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:03:33 -0400 Von: Tommaso Melodia <tmelodia(a)eng.buffalo.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AD HOC NETWORKS (ELSEVIER) JOURNAL Special Issue on MULTIMEDIA AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS http://www.elsevierscitech.com/pdfs/cfp_adhoc0709.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------- Multimedia applications enabled by quality-aware wireless multi-hop networks include online gaming, video conferencing, video streaming, mobile TV, and peer-to-peer streaming. In addition, they include monitoring applications such as video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, advanced health care delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial process control. In spite of the increasing demand for multimedia wireless networking, we are still lacking a clear understanding of analytical and computational techniques, as well as best practices, to design resource allocation schemes, communication protocols, and self-organization algorithms for wireless multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks that will deliver, in a predictable and quantifiable fashion, the quality of service and experience required by the end user. In addition, while significant advances in physical layer techniques offer new opportunities for cross-layer optimizations designed to satisfy application needs, efforts to leverage these techniques from a networking perspective to support the needs of multimedia traffic demands in multi-hop wireless networks are still at initial stages. In particular, dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radios, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques, ultra-wide-band and cooperative communications, among other techniques, will have a profound impact on our ability to flexibly and predictably deliver multimedia content over wireless networks. Finally, with a few exceptions, processing of multimedia content has mostly been approached as a problem isolated from the network-design problem. However, in-network processing and delivery of multimedia content are not independent and their interaction has a major impact on the levels of quality of service (QoS) that can be delivered. Hence, it is necessary to develop flexible and self-organizing architectures and algorithms to flexibly perform in-network processing of multimedia contents. This special issue solicits papers on all aspects of multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks, with a primary focus on three key aspects. First, content-aware cross-layer design and resource allocation techniques, as well as new networking protocols based on metrics associated with quality of service/video/experience are of particular interest. Second, original papers examining networking aspects that leverage advances in physical and multiple access techniques to support multimedia traffic are particularly welcome. Third, papers investigating the interdependencies between multimedia in-network processing and networking aspects are sought, e.g., architectures and techniques to store, process in real-time, correlate and fuse multimedia data originating from heterogeneous sources. The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of multimedia content delivery over ad hoc and sensor networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures and applications for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming - Distortion and quality/experience-aware cross-layer design - Optimization techniques for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Capacity modeling - Quality-aware medium access control, scheduling, routing, and transport - Quality-aware resource management and admission control - Cross-layer design for P2P streaming - Experimental and testbed-based studies - Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design - Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design - Multimedia traffic on cognitive radio networks - Cooperative communication techniques for real-time video streaming - MIMO techniques for multimedia delivery - Physical layer technologies for efficient delivery of multimedia content - Secure multimedia communications - Joint multimedia processing and communication - Compressed sensing for multimedia sensor networks - Distributed source/video coding and multimedia processing Submission Instructions: Prospective Authors: Please follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] AASN'2009: Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:53:02 +0100 Von: Dr. Youssef Iraqi <y2iraqi(a)gmail.com> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, cnom(a)inf.ufsc.br, taos(a)comsoc.org, researchers(a)mailman.ufsc.br, ontc(a)comsoc.org, p2prg(a)irtf.org [Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] CALL FOR PAPERS Second International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks, AASN http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/09/workshops/AASN09/AASN_workshop.html To be held in conjunction with The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2009) Lyon - France, October 27-30, 2009. Summary and Topics: Thanks to technological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an increasing attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many applications, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and scientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating works in addressing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols, architecture, operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent needs to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous requirements are highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing and manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These techniques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundreds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is still facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spatially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in performing the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network and guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especially that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hostile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible. Since predefined and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networked sensing devices, automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in addressing upcoming developments that target multi-services, collaborating, or competing sensor networks. To reach these goals, the second International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is seeking novel ideas in the following topics that include, but not limited to: - Heterogeneous sensor networks - Multi-service sensor networks - Sensor network control - Automated sensing activities - Competing sensors or sensor networks - Collaborating sensors and sensor networks - Semantic-based management of sensor networks - Resource management in sensor networks - Context awareness in sensor networks - Self-organization and self-adaptation in sensor networks - New architectures and protocols for sensor networks - Sensor network maintenance - Intelligent sensors and sensor networks - Data management in sensor networks - Data and resource sharing in sensor networks - Quality of Service in sensor networks - Sustainable sensor networks - Decision Support Systems for Sensor Networks - Virtual Environment for Supporting Sensor Networks - Sensor Networks on the Web - Sensor networks for a sustainable development - Autonomous/Intelligent social sensor networks - Autonomous/Intelligent sensor networks for supporting social networks - Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent management of spatial resources - Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent risk management - New sensor network applications Important Dates: Submission deadline: July 31st 2009 Acceptance notification: September 5th 2009 Camera ready papers: September 15th 2009 Submission Guidelines: (http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/09/guidelines.php) Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 peer reviewers. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation.

Extended Submission Deadline - International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices
by Jens Schmutzler 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE EXTENSION International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices <http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org> held in conjunction with FIS2009 <http://www.fis2009.org> Berlin, Germany, September 1st, 2009 Extended Paper submission deadline: August 10th, 2009 Scope: The Future Internet of Things aims at providing pervasiveness of the Internet by integrating smart embedded devices into every days life processes. This leads to a highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. With the increase of heterogeneity, it becomes very difficult to insure interactions with devices in a unified manner. Enabling seamless convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous devices will be one of the key factors to the success of the Future Internet of Things. Moreover the Future Internet requires intelligent interaction with the environment leading to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There is a need for those networks to provide their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services for applications or other systems. The challenge lies in developing and selecting the right software frameworks, architectures, and protocols to publish embedded services via the Internet. Web technologies have been used to provide an interface to distributed services. This approach and the need for adaptable interfaces asks for service oriented middleware approaches providing common base functionality for service interaction and communication such as interface description languages, and marshalling mechanisms. In addition, middleware solutions for embedded systems need to monitor, and manage quality of service aspects, such as response time, resource consumption, throughput, availability, reliability and security. While web services being a standard and widely adopted technology for the standard Internet, embedded systems as the worker nodes for the Internet of Things need to catch up in utilizing these technologies. Embedded distributed systems can implement service oriented architectures as a promising approach to solve the complexity of distributed embedded applications and propagate web services as a cross-domain technology. Wireless sensor/actor networks, where the sensors are connected to and controlled by embedded systems may benefit from this approach, where services encapsulate the functionality and provide unified access to the functionality of the system through a middleware layer. The goal of this workshop is to bring together industrial or academic researchers and developers interested in connecting limited embedded (web) services and/or sensor networks with the Internet in order to build the Internet of Things. Through paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute to the exchange of knowledge and ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects, as well as identification and analysis of remaining open research issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectural Issues in Future Internet of Things * Real world applications and scenarios for embedded web services * Interoperability of heterogeneous systems * Event-driven SOAs & Device-centric SOA * Service creation, deployment, life cycle management * Tool support for service creation, validation and testing * Enterprise application integration * Protocols for efficient message transmission to embedded devices * Web services and Middleware for embedded environments * SOA-based integration of IT systems in the healthcare enterprise * Web services executing in mobile or pervasive environments * Distributed sensor networks for remote monitoring and surveillance * Web services for field bus systems Submission Instructions Papers have to be submitted electronically, through the EasyChairSystem: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fits2009 Papers should be written in English and should be no more than 6 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers (font Times 11pt).

Free Registration is open till 1st October 2009. ************************************************************************************** _Purpose of this workshop _The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. _Scope of the submission _We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * Architectural framework of personalized networks * Personalized Network Applications * Personal Communications in the next generation Internet * Personal Networks for rural areas * Context Awareness * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and anonymity * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Application-driven communication substrates * Personalized networks for group oriented networking * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued _Why should you participate in this workshop? _Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged. _Submission Instructions _Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in a .pdf or .ps format to the EDAS paper submission website.

CfP: IWSOS 2009 -- 4th Int. Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems
by karin anna hummel 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues, The submission deadline for IFIP IWSOS 2009 (4th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems), to be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, December 9-11, is quickly approaching: Regular Papers (12 pages): July 20, 2009 Short Papers (6 pages): August 14, 2009 The submission website is accepting submissions via: http://senldogo0039.springer-sbm.com/IWSOS2009/servlet/Conference (The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.) Please, find attached the CfP below. More information can be found at http://www.iwsos2009.ethz.ch/index.html Best Regards, Bernhard Plattner (General Chair) Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos (Program Co-Chair) Karin Anna Hummel (Program Co-Chair) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: 4th IFIP International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2009) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, December 9-11 *Workshop Scope* IWSOS 2009 is the fourth workshop in a series of annual workshops dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems. The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future networked systems, like the future Internet. Future networks will form complex networks integrating wired and wireless infrastructures with mobile ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user requirements, such as high availability and real-time guarantees. Although self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited. Research into networked systems started a few years ago to systematically investigate self-organization and has lead to a multitude of open research issues. The applicability of well-known self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked systems is being investigated, as well as adaptations and novel approaches inspired by cooperation in nature and evolutionary dynamics, sociology, and game theory. Additionally, models originating from areas like control theory and complex systems research, are being applied to networked systems to analyze their controllability and behavior. Aspects of engineering self-organizing networked systems are studied that draw on approaches like programmable networks, and tools and frameworks for deploying, testing, and monitoring self-organizing networks. The role of self-organization in the future Internet and the impact on its architecture is an important topic, as well as the application of self-organization in future intelligent transportation systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks. Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for discussing the future of self-organization in networked systems. Topics include, but are not limited to the following. *Key Topics* - Self-organization and self-management - Self-configuration and self-optimization - Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing - Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home network - Self-organization in peer-to-peer, sensor, ad-hoc and vehicular networks - Control theory based models and approaches to self-organization - Applications of game theory for self-organization - Bio-inspired and socially inspired models of self-organization - Group-forming networks and techniques - Programmable and cognitive networks as a basis for self-organization - Visualization of network state - Self-organization for Quality of Service - Resilience, robustness and fault tolerance for networked systems - Security in self-organizing networked systems - Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Self-configuring place-and-play sensor/mobile networks - Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks - Risks of self-organization - The human in the loop of self-organizing networks *Paper Submission* IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts as full or short papers that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the international TPC and judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Click here (http://www.iwsos2009.ethz.ch/index.html) for detailed information for authors. *Full Papers* Submissions should be full-length papers up to 12 pages using the LNCS style, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100-150 words. *Short Papers* Submissions should be position papers, challenging papers, and papers presenting first or late results up to 6 pages length (LNCS style, including all figures and references), and must include an abstract of 100-150 words. *Proceedings* The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must attend IWSOS 2009 to present the paper. *Posters and Demonstrations* To complement the main technical programme of IWSOS 2009, we are soliciting extended abstracts (up to two pages, LNCS style) that describe posters and demonstrations that will be presented at an informal session during the workshop. This session should provide a platform to present and discuss work-in-progress and demonstrations. The abstracts will be collected and made available at the event.

International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices
by Jens Schmutzler 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices <http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org <http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org/> > held in conjunction with FIS2009 <http://www.fis2009.org <http://www.fis2009.org/> > Berlin, Germany, September 1st-3rd, 2009 Paper submission deadline: August 3rd, 2009 Scope: The Future Internet of Things aims at providing pervasiveness of the Internet by integrating smart embedded devices into every days life processes. This leads to a highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. With the increase of heterogeneity, it becomes very difficult to insure interactions with devices in a unified manner. Enabling seamless convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous devices will be one of the key factors to the success of the Future Internet of Things. Moreover the Future Internet requires intelligent interaction with the environment leading to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There is a need for those networks to provide their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services for applications or other systems. The challenge lies in developing and selecting the right software frameworks, architectures, and protocols to publish embedded services via the Internet. Web technologies have been used to provide an interface to distributed services. This approach and the need for adaptable interfaces asks for service oriented middleware approaches providing common base functionality for service interaction and communication such as interface description languages, and marshalling mechanisms. In addition, middleware solutions for embedded systems need to monitor, and manage quality of service aspects, such as response time, resource consumption, throughput, availability, reliability and security. While web services being a standard and widely adopted technology for the standard Internet, embedded systems as the worker nodes for the Internet of Things need to catch up in utilizing these technologies. Embedded distributed systems can implement service oriented architectures as a promising approach to solve the complexity of distributed embedded applications and propagate web services as a cross-domain technology. Wireless sensor/actor networks, where the sensors are connected to and controlled by embedded systems may benefit from this approach, where services encapsulate the functionality and provide unified access to the functionality of the system through a middleware layer. The goal of this workshop is to bring together industrial or academic researchers and developers interested in connecting limited embedded (web) services and/or sensor networks with the Internet in order to build the Internet of Things. Through paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute to the exchange of knowledge and ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects, as well as identification and analysis of remaining open research issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectural Issues in Future Internet of Things * Real world applications and scenarios for embedded web services * Interoperability of heterogeneous systems * Event-driven SOAs & Device-centric SOA * Service creation, deployment, life cycle management * Tool support for service creation, validation and testing * Enterprise application integration * Protocols for efficient message transmission to embedded devices * Web services and Middleware for embedded environments * SOA-based integration of IT systems in the healthcare enterprise * Web services executing in mobile or pervasive environments * Distributed sensor networks for remote monitoring and surveillance * Web services for field bus systems Submission Instructions Papers have to be submitted electronically, through the EasyChairSystem: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fits2009 Papers should be written in English and should be no more than 6 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers (font Times 11pt).

[Tccc] PerNets 2010 cfp (within IEEE CCNC): paper submission deadline is August 23, 2009

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp ************************************************************************************* Fourth International Workshop on Personalized Networks PerNets 2010 to be held in conjunction with The IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2010) January 9-12, 2010 - Harrah's Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/ ************************************************************************************* Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library Paper submission via EDAS (please read the submission instructions below first) Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner.

[Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks"]
by Lars Wolf 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks" Datum: Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:50:05 +0200 Von: Carlos Jesús Bernardos Cano <cjbc(a)it.uc3m.es> Antwort an: cjbc(a)it.uc3m.es Organisation: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu =================================================================== Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this mail =================================================================== IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks" Background Vehicular communications are being applied to improve safety, decrease fuel consumption, and increase the capacity of existing roadways. Both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications are used to implement a number of promising applications such as local hazard warning, efficient route planning and coordination of traffic flows. Even truly cooperative and, therefore, extremely challenging applications like cross traffic collision avoidance are being considered. In the last years a number of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) related projects and initiatives have been carried out (or will be completed soon). In Europe, for example, the European Commission initiated the eSafety Program to reduce the road fatalities by 50% before 2010 and to improve traffic efficiency. These R&D projects have created a solid technical basis for vehicular communications, and some of them have also performed some preliminary experiences, from what some important results have been obtained ("lessons learned"), as for example the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) in the US as well as several projects in Europe. All the aforementioned research efforts and initiatives can be considered as the 'phase 1' in the development of vehicular communications networks. This phase represents an initial and very important step towards the goals of improving road safety and traffic efficiency, and providing Internet services to the vehicles. Important achievements, architectural decisions and conclusions have been the outcome of this 'phase 1', such as the development of wireless physical and MAC protocols suited for the vehicular environment (e.g. IEEE 802.11p), new network architectures (some of them not based on classical TCP/IP), etc. We are now witnessing the 'phase 2' of research and development in vehicular communications networks, a new phase in which standardization and field trials will play a key role, as well as the refinement and extension of the network architectures and protocols defined in the 'phase 1'.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC special issue on Vehicular Communications and Networks Datum: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 11:01:40 +0300 Von: Thanos Vasilakos <vasilako(a)ath.forthnet.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Vehicular Communications and Networks Vehicular communications and intelligent transportation systems aim to improve traffic safety, protect environment by reducing traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and enable a plethora of new applications such as mobile infotainment. To address the special requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the vehicle domain, there is a necessity to develop new communication technologies and find special integration solutions into vehicular and transportation systems. These result in various types of vehicular communications and networks: vehicle-toinfrastructure, vehicle-to-roadside, and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. In this growing interdisciplinary field, many research challenges need to be addressed, e.g., how to characterize communication channels due to greater dynamics and higher requirements due to e.g. latency and reliability compared to conventional wireless channels, how to appropriately design medium access control (MAC) and network protocols that should essentially be scalable in performance and adaptable to environment changes due to rapid network topology changes and node density fluctuations, and how to evaluate and validate vehicular networking protocols under realistic assumptions using simulation methodologies and real-world testing. The goal of this special issue is to report on cutting-edge research achievements covering those aspects of vehicular communications and networks that are distinctively different from communication networks in general. We are seeking papers that describe high-quality, original, and unpublished contributions. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: · Adoption and adaptation of web technologies · Application protocols and service architectures · Channel measurement, modeling, & simulation · Domain-specific security and privacy solutions · Inter-networking technologies and architectures · MAC technologies and channel management · Multiple radio integration and control · Physical layer and RF level technologies · Radio resource management, congestion control, traffic control, routing, and QoS support · Real-time experimental systems and testbeds · RF integration and SDR technologies · Safety and non-safety applications and services · Simulation methodology and performance evaluation techniques · Delay tolerant networks · Energy efficient communications · Traffic and mobility models Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/.

Please find the CFP below. Best Regards, Lefteris Mamatas University College London ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE NEW IMPORTANT DATES: Paper-submission Deadline: July 6, 2009 (extended) Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 Dates: TBA October, 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia (in conjunction with ICUMT 2009) [Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/] ************************************************************************ Networking research for challenged environments has attracted a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of "going online". Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a "one-fits-all" protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles NEW IMPORTANT DATES: Paper-submission Deadline: July 6, 2009 (extended) Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal.

[Tccc] Wireless for The Future Internet - Computer Networks Journal/ Deadline is fast approaching: July the 1st
by Luciano Lenzini 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

[we apologize if multiple copies are received] CALL FOR PAPERS COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE ON WIRELESS FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET (http://www.elsevierscitech.com/cfp/cfp_wirelessfuture0509.pdf) The Internet has grown from being a network linking universities and research institutions to an infrastructure that supports the economy and society in general. But the Internet, as originally designed, may not have the capabilities to support the sheer number of new usage patterns and requirements. Around one billion people currently use the Internet and they will soon be joined by several billion mobile online devices. There will also be a shift from developed to developing countries. A fully pervasive anytime/anywhere and secure wireless Internet infrastructure will support and drive this trend. Therefore, the so called Future Internet (FI) needs to be able to match this growing demand and this will entail more than merely patching or upgrading the underlying network and service infrastructure. A profound change is required, leading to a range of technical, financial, society and governance challenges. There appears to be a common understanding that the FI will be at the heart of the future networked society. However, there is no agreed definition as to what a FI should cover in terms of research and non research topics. As well as being an Internet of Networks, FI is perceived of as being an Internet of Services and an Internet of Things that will integrate common objects into our lives. It is also regarding as being an Internet of Contents & Knowledge and an Internet of People. Developing the FI involves huge challenges regarding usability, reliability, mobility, scalability, interoperability, user acceptability, and trust and confidence. In addition, Internet governance, intellectual property, and education i.e. non-technical aspects - also need to be addressed. Early research work on FI focussed above all on networking issues, and on the need to support a range of innovative applications with enhanced management capabilities and a great capacity to deal with increased security issues. Alongside this, the FI is being driven by a vast set of new application requirements. This means that the FI should be approached in a holistic manner, beyond simply a "network" perspective. This special issue aims to intercept the strategies and trends related to the wireless segment of the development of the FI and to present new ideas and concepts in this area. These trends have a significant impact on the underlying network and service technologies and consequently drive research and technology requirements towards a Future Internet, hence continuing to shape future actions at a world level in a domain that has now become global. Original papers are called for on advanced research topics including, but not restricted to: - Delay Tolerant and Opportunistic Networks - Wireless Enabled Context Awareness in Networks - Network Coding as an Alternative to TCP and as Part of Network Protocols or Crosslayer Design - Support for Cognitive Radio Technology - Neighborhood and Local Resource Discovery - Cross-Layer Protocol Support - Wireless Body Area Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks - Spontaneous Information Exchange Among Mobile Devices - Infrastructure Free Communications and Self-organization - Greening of the Wireless Access - Wireless Based P2P Networks - Socio-economic and Legal Aspects of Wireless Based Services - Wireless of Future Internet Experimental Test-beds Note that the above topics should be developed in terms of a Future Internet perspective and not as isolated topics. Authors should follow the Computer Networks (Elsevier) manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet. IMPORTANT DATES To speed up the review process, authors are requested to submit a one-page abstract which should clearly identify the key contribution of the work that will be presented in the full paper. The abstract should succinctly describe the particular problem being addressed, and how it will impact on the Future Internet. The Guest Editors will select the most interesting and thought-provoking papers. Abstract Submission Deadline: 1 July, 2009 Abstract Acceptance Notification: 10 July, 2009 Submission Deadline for the full paper: 15 September, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: 30 November, 2009 Submission of Revised Version: 30 January, 2010 Publication of the Special Issue: Second Half 2010 The one page abstract, in pdf format, should be sent as attachment in a message addressed to wffi(a)iet.unipi.it.

[Tccc] [NG-WANETs 2009] CFP - first international workshop on Next Generation Wireless Ad hoc Networks (NG-WANETs 2009)
by Robil Daher 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS NG-WANETs 2009 First International Workshop on Next Generation Wireless Ad hoc Networks 12-14.10.2009, St. Petersburg, Russia http://ng-wanet09.informatik.uni-rostock.de/ co-located with International Conference on Ultra Modern Telecommunications (ICUMT) http://www.icumt.org/ technically sponsored by IEEE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE / CALL FOR PAPERS: The wireless ad hoc networks (WANETs) comprise several types of networks such as mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), mesh networks, sensor networks, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) and multi-hop cellular networks (MCNs). WANETs are based on the point-to-point networking concept, in which each node acts as wireless relay/router along the path between source and destination. This provides an essentially effective networking medium in infrastructure-less environments such as rural and desert areas. The nature of WANETs leads to several advantages in comparison with that of wireless cellular technologies. The relatively low cost and complexity of installation in infrastructure-less areas, the autonomous nodes, the self- healing and configuration capabilities, and several other properties enable WANETs for networking the most kinds of environment. Nevertheless, this nature also causes several technical issues and challenges for adopting WANETs in certain environments and/or for certain applications. The resources constrains due to channel sharing, the performance of current routing protocols and QoS mechanisms, the distributed coordination of network access, and many other issues and challenges represent essential topics for future enhancement of the current ad hoc technologies. Thus, beside the optimization of current WANET solutions the development of efficient solutions for those mentioned problems represents the main challenge for the Next Generation WANETs (NG-WANETs). In addition, using WANET based communication technologies in other fields such as for deep space communication networks could open new perspectives for accelerating the development and adoption of those technologies. Furthermore, bionic- inspired mechanisms and solutions can constructively help researchers to benefit from the nature experience to improve the current solutions and to develop new methods and concepts for solving critical technical problems. Consequently, new research fields could emerge which open new dimensions and creates new perspectives of WANETs for future applications and services. This workshop represents the first step to figure out these dimensions and perspectives of NG-WANETs and aims at providing a space for debate and knowledge sharing among researchers working on state-of-the-art solutions to the current issues and challenges of WANETs. All researchers and practitioners are invited to participate in the debate and knowledge sharing about the current WANETs and how the NG-WANETs are going to be in the near and far future.

18 Jun '09

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION SensorNets 2009: The First International School on Cyber-Physical and Sensor Networks Monastir, Tunisia, December 17-21, 2009 http://www.sensornets-school.org/ EARLY APPLICATION DEADLINE: July 15, 2009 OVERVIEW It is a common belief that computing has been increasingly integrating our life. It results that the philosophy of networking is currently reaching a new frontier, where the physical processes directly impact the logical information for the sake of pervasive and ubiquitous control of the surrounding environment. This objective can be achieved by means of massively networked embedded systems, also known as cyber-physical systems (CPS). The Wireless Sensor Network paradigm is known as the most prominent enabling technology for CPS. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has also been a pioneer technology in defining the new concept of Internet-of-Things. There is, as consequence, a tendency to change the concept of the Internet from a network a data to a network of physical objects. The objective of the the SensorNets 2009 School is to present a comprehensive state-of-the-art of the enabling technologies for the concept of Cyber-Physical Systems, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), RFID, wireless standard protocols, etc. The lectures of this school span the basic concepts as well as the latest achievement and the future challenges in the related research areas. GOALS The goals of the SensorNets 2009 School are as follows: * Provide a basic survey of the current research works and challenges on cyber-physical and sensor-based systems. * Provide an overview of the current enabling technologies for cyber-physical and sensor-based systems. * Provide a good opportunity to meet people and distinguished scholars working on cyber-physical and sensor-based systems. * Establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the future. AUDIENCE The expected audience are: * Post-graduate students, PhD students, and young researchers from universities: SensorNets 2009 will provide a very thorough and comprehensive background for young researchers starting their work in the areas of WSNs and CPS. * Researchers and engineers from academic and industrial laboratories around the world.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] CFP: U-NET'09 (User-provided networking) workshop, co-located with ACM CoNext Datum: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:00:28 +0100 Von: Paulo Mendes <pmendes(a)inescporto.pt> An: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi (Appologies if you get this twice) ACM U-NET'09 — User-provided Networking: Challenges and Opportunities Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/unet/ Submission Deadline: July 17, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/N7753 *(Now with a Technical Panel)* *Motivation* This workshop is dedicated to the debate of concepts, challenges, and opportunities concerning user-provided networking, i.e., scenarios where users cooperate by sharing wireless resources as well as Internet services. To provide a specific example that relates to Internet access (connectivity), the end-user (or a community of end-users) is a micro-operator in the sense that he/she shares his/her subscribed broadband Internet access based on some form of incentive scheme. In addition, the end-user may or may not provide other network functionality such as local mobility management, or persistent storage and forwarding services. This new role is disruptive in what concerns Internet service models, since there is no distinction between what is today known as end-user device and network device: in the future, end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network. In contrast, the Internet has been up to now mostly the means for end-users to obtain some form of network service, originally related to connectivity, person-to-person communication, or information retrieval. Such user-centric provider role is also disruptive given that the regular network boundaries of trust have to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior: there is the need to form networks of trust in order to accommodate a robust network growth, given that the key to such growth is the willingness to cooperate. Another disruptive aspect of user-provided networking is that due to the nature of the wireless media and the way that humans move, support for intermittent connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. Finally, and given that user-provided networking spreads dynamically having as network elements regular end-user devices, there is the need to consider cases where information is opportunistically relayed instead of routed based on topological information. Due to the disruptive aspects mentioned, user-provided networking seem to have the potential to provide a paradigm shift in Internet communication models, given that such novel functionality allow wireless networks to operate in a completely autonomic way and also given that the end-user becomes a provider of Internet services (e.g. connectivity) based upon cooperation incentives or rewards and based upon his/her own mobility and social patterns. Services are established on the fly, and do not necessarily imply the use of multihop technology or routing. For instance, connectivity may be, in most cases, simply relayed. The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers and a discussion panel with guests from industry and academia. We envision U-NET as a forum aiming to ignite a debate concerning technical challenges and impact (negatively or positively) that user-provided networking may have on Internet communication models. *Topics* U-NET'09 solicits high quality technical contributions within the context of user-provided networking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Challenges and opportunities for access providers. * Impact on Internet architectures. * Internet connectivity. * Trust models, incentives to share broadband access. * Human behaviour and mobility patterns. * Self-organization. * Wireless cooperation. Papers submitted are expected to be highly innovative and may incorporate early stage ideas; position papers (clearly identified as such) pointing to new directions and capable of generating discussion are also welcome. Submission must be original and not already published in any other conference proceeding or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. *Technical Panel Discussion* U-NET'09 aims to be a forum to debate the technical challenges and impact of deploying user-provided networking technology. For this propose, this first edition of U-NET will host a technical discussion panel constituted by: * Shivendra S. Panwar, Professor at Polytechnic Institute of New York University, USA * James Kempft, Senior Architect at Ericsson Research, USA * David Kennedy, Director at Eurescom GmbH, Germany * Jordi Vallejo, CTO at FON Wireless Ltd, Spain * David Trossen, Chief Researcher at British Telecom Innovate, United Kingdom *Submissions* Submitted papers must be at most 6 (six) pages long (including figures, tables and references) in the standard ACM double column format. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind.

Events provide a natural abstraction of happenings in the real world. The concept of events has a long history in foundational sciences such as philosophy and linguistics. After first developing objects-based and entity-based approaches, computer science research is now addressing the concept of events and building many applications that consider events at least as important as objects. Consequently, we find many different solutions and approaches for modeling, detecting, and processing events. In addition, we find different applications that are based on events and make use of events. Conferences and workshops on events in computer science typically deal with the capturing, processing, and management of low-level events such as publish/ subscribe-approaches, middleware-based architectures, complex event processing, and event stream processing. Although this work is very essential for an efficient execution of the applications build on top of such approaches, the understanding of the concept of events is disconnected from the domain-level of events that the actual users of such applications have to deal with. However, considering multimedia data, its semantics is naturally closely tied to the event(s) it documents. The workshop focuses on how to detect, model, and process domain-level events and applications that make use of domain-level events in the context of multimedia data. We aim at bringing together researchers from the different fields that are interested in understanding the concept of events on domain-level. We invite original work in the areas of domain event modeling, detection of events from multimedia data, processing of events, organization of multimedia data using events as unifying mechanism, and applications of these techniques. The submissions should explicitly explain how they deal with the events of the considered domain and what kind of benefit is provided to the users by using events. Example application areas for events are multimedia-based experience sharing, lifelogs, emergency response, cultural heritage, news, surveillance, and others. The participants of the workshop will gain an insight into the current state-of-the-art of computer science research on domain-level events. They will get concrete examples of how events can be leveraged for human-centered research and how it can be detected, processed, modeled, and used for creating human- centered applications. They will also have the opportunity to discuss their approach with other researchers from the multimedia community in the hands-on part of the workshop. Topics ------ Research topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to: O Event Detection and Processing in Multimedia Data o Recognition of events from large scale, unreliable and/or noisy media data and media streams o Event clustering towards domain level-events o Combining low-level events with domain-level events O Event Representation and Event Models o Modeling of events on domain-level o Ontology-based representation of events o Languages for events o Formal modeling of events, activities, accomplishments, achievements, context, and other related concepts o Reasoning with events under consideration of causality, uncertainty, similarity, and others o Semantic description and annotation for events and event sources O Events in the Context of Web 2.0 o Collaborative event creation and sharing o Events in social networks o Event syndication (e.g., RSS) and attention management O Architectures for Event Management o Middleware solutions for event management o Event-driven architectures o Experimental methodologies o Domain-specific solutions for event management such as for emergency response O Applications and Tools o Event-based applications and tools o Authoring of events o Events in mobile computing and ubiquituous computing o Applications that show benefits of using events in practical settings o User experience, requirements, use cases, and evaluations of event-based applications Paper Submission, Review, and Publication ----------------------------------------- Submissions for the workshop must follow the standard style guidelines of the ACM Multimedia conference. They shall be submitted in PDF format and not be longer than 8 pages. Papers will be submitted using the EDAS system of ACM Multimedia.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for paper for Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks Datum: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 21:13:35 +1000 Von: Jinli Cao <J.Cao(a)latrobe.edu.au> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet <http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet> Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks With recent technological advances in communication and computation, new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications are growing. The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN · Distributed source coding in WMSN · Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN · Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3. Emerging WMSN technologies * Hardware platform * Physical layer technologies * Energy harvesting technologies 4. Effective and energy-efficient protocols for WMSN * Real-time and reliable multimedia streaming * Routing and medium access control * Topology control and synchronization protocols * Energy efficient traffic management * QoS provisioning protocols 5.

Regards, Ioannis Psaras. ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE NEW IMPORTANT DATES: Paper-submission Deadline: July 6, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 Dates: TBA October, 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia (in conjunction with ICUMT 2009) [Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/] ************************************************************************ Networking research for challenged environments has attracted a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of "going online". Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a "one-fits-all" protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles NEW IMPORTANT DATES: Paper-submission Deadline: July 6, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal. Page-limits are as follows: Position Papers: 2 pages, Work-in-Progress Papers: 4 pages and Full Papers: 6 pages. Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-spaced, double-column page-style, using 10 pt size fonts on 8.5X11 inch pages. Page-limits include text, figures, references and appendices.

Call for Papers The Second IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-09) (http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON09/) In Conjunction With IEEE APSCC 2009, December 7th-11th, 2009 Biopolis, Singapore ================================================================== Aims and Scope The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=von09. The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. The enhanced version of the best-quality selected papers that have been presented at VON 2009 may be invited for publication in the special issue of international journals. Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: 17 July 2009 Author Notification: 28 August 2009 Camera-ready Deadline: 2 October 2009 Program Committee Members Peter H. J.
