With the rapid convergence of networks and applications, changes in related industries, more complex value chains and increased competition, early prototyping and experimentation will become a key means for driving innovation and development of market oriented solutions. In this context, value generation has shifted from network technologies towards applications and content. Thus, the nature and scope of testbeds have changed substantially in recent years from solely network technologies towards complex service delivery infrastructures riding on various networks. In contrast to traditional vendor, operator and technology specific "closed" testbeds, the notion of "open" testbeds has emerged. "Open" in this context means both wide access as a shared resource and extensibility to include on-demand new end systems, network technologies, protocol stacks, and, most importantly, new middleware and service delivery platforms for specific test purposes. To meet this need, major research and development programs have started around the globe, including GENI in the U.S. and FIRE in Europe, to establish large scale experimental facilities. TridentCom 2009 will provide a forum to explore existing and planned testbed concepts, infrastructures, and tools to address the research and business challenges in a world of global convergence. Prospective authors from academia, industry and government are invited to submit high quality papers in two categories, Full Papers and Testbed Practices Papers, as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management, including, but not limited to: * Next Generation Internet and Clean Slate Protocol Stack Testbeds * GRID Testbeds and P2P Testbeds * Automonic Communications and Self-managing Network Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network and Seamless Services Testbeds * End System and Sensor Testbeds * Smart Home and Converged Communication and Media Services Testbeds * SOA/Web 2.0 Services Testbeds * Next Generation Services Testbeds * Service Creation and Provisioning Testbeds * Next Generation Networks, IMS, and Quad Play Testbeds * Configurable Hardware/Software Platforms for Testbeds * Testbed Tools for Interoperability, Benchmarking and Traffic Measurements * Innovative Measurements Methodologies and Tools for Networks and Services * Industrial informatics * Wireless industrial communications * Networked industrial automation Important dates: ---------------- Papers submission deadline: October 1, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: January 15, 2009 The Tridentcom'05 and Tridentcom'06 Proceedings have been indexed by Engineering Information (EI). The Tridentcom'09 proceedings will be published as CDROMs and will be included in IEEE Xplore (and then indexed by Engineering Information (EI)).

However, various applications and media formats may have different quality evaluation criteria and control parameters. For example, scalability and interactivity are very crucial performance metrics for 3D graphics scene model representation and delivery, while they may not be that important for some other multimedia applications. Thus, there is a strong impetus to develop new quality evaluation methodologies for various media formats under different multimedia application scenarios. Recently, cross-layer design has become a popular design methodology for enhancing Quality-of-Service (QoS) over various multimedia communications systems. However, most existing cross-layer designs for QoS provisioning in multimedia communications are mainly focused on improving network-oriented QoS such as throughput, delay, and jitter, while the multimedia application-oriented QoS have not been fully considered in the existing cross-layer design optimization. Therefore, quality-driven multimedia communications need to be extensively investigated under various communications scenarios involving audio, video, VoIP, image, and/or graphics. Under such a background, it is very important to highlight the importance of quality-driven cross-layer design as one of the enabling technologies for the next-generation quality-aware service-oriented multimedia networks. The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of quality-driven cross-layer designs for multimedia communications. Original completed and unpublished works not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: User perceptual quality enhancement methodology Media quality measurements for communications applications Optimized 3D graphics scene representation and transmissions Optimized image/video representation and transmissions Optimized audio/speech coding and transmissions Content-aware cross-layer design and optimization Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design Quality-driven cross-layer design architecture Quality-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control Quality-driven cross-layer MAC and routing protocols Cross-layer protocol stacks for quality support Performance evaluation of quality-driven cross-layer system design Standardization issues related to quality-driven cross-layer design Cross-layer design for P2P streaming Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks *Submission Procedure: * Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published at www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/tmm/infotmm.html.

[Fwd: [Mycolleagues] Special Issue on MMOG Systems and Applications]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] Special Issue on MMOG Systems and Applications Datum: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:51:16 +0330 Von: Shervin Shirmohammadi <shervin(a)discover.uottawa.ca> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br *Call for Papers* *Massively Multiuser Online Gaming Systems and Applications* *Special Issue of* *Springer’s Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP)* *Guest Editors: *Shervin Shirmohammadi, University of Ottawa, Canada Mark Claypool, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, U.S.A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Massively Multiuser Online Games (MMOG) are now widely used not only for gaming, but also for socializing, business and commerce, experimentation, and many other practical purposes. One could argue that MMOGs are the “killer app” that can bring Virtual Reality into the realm of eSociety, creating an environment with millions of people taking part in various activities and daily life, but electronically. This is evident from the fact that real companies are opening “virtual branches” in these online gaming platforms, such as clothing manufacturers, IBM, and CNN, to name a few companies present in Second Life. Virtual currencies such as Second Life’s Linden (or L$) are already being exchanged for real-world money, as are virtual items and virtual properties that are sold for real money. Massive numbers of users spend their time with their fellow players at online games like EverQuest, World of Warcraft, and Second Life. World of Warcraft, for example, has over ten million (10,000,000) users with a peak of over 500,000 players interacting at a given time in the digital world. There is no doubt that MMOGs have a great potential to become the corner stone of an eSociety platform bringing the massiveness of the real society into the digital realm. This special issue will cover enabling technologies and systems for MMOGs, as well as applications of MMOGs outside of gaming. The focus will be mostly on the “massive” aspect of games, but high-quality papers in real-time interactive multiuser games (albeit not massive) will also be considered if they address issues that can benefit massive games too. Hence, topics include, but are not limited to: * Networking support for massive number of players * Networked games (non-massive) * P2P architectures for better scalability * Zoning techniques, Area of Interest Management, and seamless player movement * Application-Layer Multicasting for massive user support * Performance evaluation and traffic/player pattern measurements * Audio/video conferencing in games * Latency compensation techniques * Content adaptation for players on heterogeneous receivers * Cheating: detection, avoidance, and repair * Multiuser mobile games * Case studies about applications of gaming in other disciplines such as business, pedagogy, biology, psychology, etc. Only papers that have not been published and/or submitted elsewhere will be considered.

[Mycolleagues] CFP: CROWNCOM 2009: June 22nd - 24th 2009, Hannover, Germany
by Oyman, Ozgur 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

Dear Colleagues, The 4th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CROWNCOM 2009) will take place on June 22nd - 24th 2009, in Hannover, Germany. The aim of this conference is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that address the various aspects of cognitive wireless systems and technologies, including a broad range of communications, networking and implementation issues. Please note that the date of CROWNCOM 2009 falls in the week immediately following another important communications event, the IEEE Communications Conference (ICC 2009), to be held in Dresden, Germany, on June 14th-18th, 2009. The Call for Papers (CFP) for CROWNCOM 2009 can be found in plain text below, and the more detailed pdf version of the CFP is also included as an attachment. The URL for the conference website is www.crowncom2009.org, which will be updated periodically. It would be great if you could post this announcement in your lab, department, or institution, and pass it to your colleagues as appropriate. We are using multiple conference mailing lists for disseminating this conference announcement, and apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of the email. Best regards, Ozgur Oyman, Intel Research CROWNCOM 2009 Publicity Chair (USA) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### CROWNCOM 2009 4th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications June 22nd - 24th 2009, Hannover, Germany http://www.crowncom2009.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ### Brief description The owned spectrum allocation model in use today is believed to be obsolete. Firstly due to its intrinsic principle of fixed resource allocation that leads to a supposed spectrum scarcity, later revealed to be a question of non-efficient utilization. Secondly comes into play the need of introducing new wireless applications and services, which have experienced a huge growth in the last couple of decades, and are now supposed to cope with a multitude of already deployed standards. Both scenarios motivate the use of dynamic spectrum access in order to turn primary licensed networks into dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs). This lends itself to cognitive radio, an enabling technology that will benefit several types of players and help to implement a more efficient approach regarding spectrum requirements in the future. The aim of this conference is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that address the various aspects of cognitive wireless systems and technologies, including a broad range of communications, networking and implementation issues. We seek original and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine or conference. ### Topics of interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Track 1 - New Trends - Regulations, standardization and implementation for Cognitive Radio - Dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs): o Secondary markets o Business models o Industrial role - Trust and security mechanisms Track 2 - Interference and Coexistence Analysis - Interference metric modeling - Beamforming, MIMO and anti-jamming channel coding as interference avoidance strategies - Radio resource management and dynamic spectrum sharing - Spectrum sensing mechanisms and protocol support - Wireless network co-existence - Ultra-Wideband cognitive radio systems Track 3 - Networks - Game theory applied to mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) - Self-organizing mesh networks and autonomic communications - Applications of cognitive networks (e.g. emergent and public safety networks) - Bio and AI-inspired algorithms - New architectures and platforms for cognitive radio & software defined radio - Radio access protocols and algorithms for the PHY, MAC, and Network layers - Cross-layer cognitive algorithms - Quality-of-service provisioning Track 4 - Research Projects - Cognitive Radio & Networks related projects are invited to present their work at CrownCom 2009. ### Co-Sponsors Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), Germany Institute of Communications Technology, LUH, Germany Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (ICST) ### Technical Co-Sponsors The European Association for Signal and Image Processing (EURASIP) Center for Research and Telecommunication Experimentation for Networked Communities (CREATE-NET) ### Important Dates Manuscript submission deadline: February 23, 2009 Tutorial proposals deadline: February 23, 2009 Special session proposals deadline: November 3, 2008 Notification of decision: April 20, 2009 Camera-ready deadline: May 4, 2009 ### Instructions for Authors Papers must represent high quality and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

[Tccc] CFP: Journal of High Speed Networks, Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
by Suleyman Uludag 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

We apologize for multiple receipts of this CFP. ================================================= http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~jhsn/dirissues/VOL18.html -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------- Journal of High Speed Networks Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks -------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is a promising technology that offers solutions for low-cost broadband Internet access by extending the local area networks to wide area. Unlike mobile ad hoc and sensor networks, the mesh nodes in a WMN are stationary and have access to unlimited power. Typically, mobile clients connect to the mesh nodes and use the backbone to communicate with one another over large distances and with nodes on the Internet through a gateway. One of the distinct characteristics of WMNs is that the mesh nodes can employ multiple radios and utilize multiple channels which thereby bring a potential to improve the throughput and bandwidth of the network. In addition, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas can be employed. Such technologies can be exploited for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning that can be used to offer some level of service differentiation to facilitate multimedia/real-time data communication, Video on Demand, VoIP, etc. over WMNs. Prior research on QoS provisioning in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks has mostly addressed the challenges under the single channel paradigm. While the research community has recently started to study the QoS challenges in WMNs, the current focus has largely been on bandwidth guarantees for traffic going out of the WMN to the Internet via the gateway(s). Therefore, further research is needed to provide QoS guarantees for intra-WMN traffic not only on bandwidth but also on delay, delay jitter and reliability so that WMNs can be realized as a technology in the near future. The goal of this special issue is to collect papers in the area of QoS provisioning in multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-hop WMNs. We solicit papers which will address QoS challenges under multiple radios and channels, provide the foundation for applications such as Video on Demand, teleconferencing and VoIP, and deal with channel assignment and routing problems simultaneously. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - QoS routing with multiple radios/channels - Providing delay and delay jitter guarantees - Cross-layer design and optimization - Dynamic channel assignment with QoS routing - MIMO techniques for QoS provisioning - Handling mobility of mesh clients during QoS support - Performance analysis - Wireless mesh network testbed design and measurements - Fault-tolerance and QoS provisioning - Security and QoS provisioning - Utilization of cognitive radio for QoS provisioning - Centralized vs. distributed QoS algorithms Important Dates: - Manuscript Due: November 14, 2008 - Acceptance Notification: January 14, 2009 - Final Manuscript Due: February 4, 2009 Submission Guidelines: All submissions to the Journal must be in English and based on original research of some fundamental significance. The paper must not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere, although part of the paper may have been published in conference proceedings. A manuscript largely based on a conference paper must be so identified. It is expected that the author(s) have obtained necessary approval or clearance prior to submitting the paper. All submissions to the Journal will be reviewed by competent referees and are considered on the basis of their technical correctness, contribution, novelty, readability and usefulness to the Journal's readership. The font size should be at least 10 and the number of pages should not exceed 15. IEEE transaction style is preferable.

The advance in mobile wireless communication technology and the increasing number of mobile users, extend the arena of P2P computing to encompass mobile devices and wireless networks. The special characteristics of mobile environments, such as highly variable connectivity, disconnection, location-dependency, resource contraints, and diversity in wireless networks as well as carrier-grade performance requirements bring new challenges for research in mobile P2P communication and computing. MP2P'09 is intended to serve as a continuing forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of mobile P2P computing and communications. It will address the challenges, technologies, and architectures leading to real-world solutions that provide users with direct access and control of their critical peer- based information and services, regardless of location or device. The principal theme of MP2P'09 is the peer-to-peer paradigm as used in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETS), sensor networks, and large-scale heterogeneous overlays. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Peer-to-peer overlays for MANETs and sensor networks - Hybrid P2P architectures for integrated MANETs and wide-area networks - Large-scale heterogeneous P2P systems - Mobility in federated overlay architectures - Impact of network mobility on P2P systems and services (mobile IP / MANET) - P2P-based information sensing and fusion - MP2P performance & measurement studies - Semantic routing & overlay routing in MP2P - Delay tolerant MP2P systems - Resource and service discovery in MP2P - Resource exchange mechanisms in MP2P - Peer access and control in mobile environment - Data exchange and rendering techniques for mobile P2P devices - Secure communication protocols for MP2P - Nature-inspired algorithms for MP2P - Novel MP2P applications & services - Theoretical issues on mobile information diffusion - MP2P SIP - MP2P messaging systems, monitoring systems, searching systems, games, etc. - Location dependent MP2P services - MP2P over different bearer services: 2.5/3G (GPRS/UMTS) / 802.11 (WLAN) - MP2P & operator/provider requirements - Reliability and carrier-grade performance of MP2P services Paper Submission: ----------------- Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style.

15 Sep '08

Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals Pervasive 2009 The Seventh International Conference on Pervasive Computing Nara, Japan May 11-14, 2009 http://www.pervasive2009.org/workshop.shtml +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Pervasive 2009, the Seventh International Conference on Pervasive Computing, will be held May 11-14, 2009 in Nara, Japan. This annual conference provides a premier forum for researchers to present their latest results in all areas related to architecture, design, implementation, application and evaluation of pervasive computing as it becomes increasingly integrated into our lives. --------------------------------- Call for Pervasive 2009 Workshops --------------------------------- The Pervasive 2009 Workshop Co-Chairs and Organizing Committee invite proposals for the workshop program of the 7th International Conference on Pervasive Computing. Workshops provide a forum for discussing areas of special interest within pervasive computing with like-minded researchers and practitioners. Workshops afford participants the opportunity to examine an area with a selected focus in an open environment for the free exchange of perspectives. The day-long workshops will be held prior to the main conference on Monday, May 11, 2009. For details of the main conference see: http://www.pervasive2009.org/ . Important Workshop Dates: ------------------------- - October 24, 2008: Workshop proposals deadline (23:59 EST) - November 17, 2008: Notification of acceptance/rejection of workshop proposals - November 24, 2008: Workshop calls posted online by the Co-Chairs - February 10, 2009: Workshop position papers deadline - March 1, 2009: Notification of acceptance/rejection of position papers Workshop Organization: ---------------------- Pervasive workshops are dynamic and intimate forums in which to explore and discuss topics in depth. We therefore encourage having an international team of organizers for a workshop who are from different institutions and represent a variety of perspectives. We aim for a balanced workshop program offering a diverse set of themes. Because of the unique opportunity for discussion this forum offers, we encourage workshop plans that emphasize interactive components, group activities, and discussion over those that focus on individual talks. Organizers should be active themselves in the field in which they propose a workshop. All listed organizers are expected to attend those workshops they are organizing; i.e., do not include a potential organizer who may not be present at the workshop. Any change to the workshop organization team must be submitted in writing at least ten days prior to the position paper deadline for individual workshops (January 31, 2009). No changes to the workshop organization team can be made after this date to ensure that potential participants submitting position papers to workshops are aware of the final organization team. Please feel free to discuss ideas for a workshop proposal by email with the workshop chairs prior to submission. Proposal Submission Process: ---------------------------- Please email your proposal to the Workshop Co-Chairs, Yasuyuki Sumi and Elaine M. Huang (pervasive09_workshops(a)ii.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp). Pre-Proposal Submission Inquiries: Please feel free to contact the Workshop Co-Chairs, Yasuyuki Sumi and Elaine M. Huang, if you would like to discuss a workshop proposal (email: pervasive09_workshops(a)ii.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp). We solicit workshops in all areas related to Pervasive Computing. In particular we would like to encourage workshops focused on new and emerging research directions, novel and highly innovative themes, real-world topics including industrial and medical issues, system or interaction topics and interdisciplinary themes. Proposal Content: ----------------- 1.

Objectives: What are the objectives that the workshop aims to achieve? Objectives may include but are not limited to (a) targeting a predefined set of focus questions, (b) presenting alternate views on a particular issue that is of concern to the Pervasive Computing community and attempting to resolve the issue, (c) identifying priorities for new directions of research, and/or (d) initiating the appropriate collaborations and building community around a theme of interest. If you have a plan to produce a book or a journal special issue as a result of your workshop, please indicate these plans. 4. Format: Give a description of the proposed workshop format, including the target number of participants, planned activities (such as introductions, invited talks, breakout group activities, demos, general discussion), as well as how these activities address the workshop objectives. Preference will be given to proposals for activities designed to fuel discussion and interaction among participants; workshops consisting solely of paper presentations are discouraged. Provide a preliminary schedule with estimated times. Design your schedule for a length of 6 hours (full-day workshop) with a lunch break and two coffee breaks. 5. Soliciting Submissions: Indicate how you plan to attract submissions and/or participants. Tactics may include creating a workshop web page, circulating a call to relevant mailing lists, and publicizing your workshop at other relevant venues. 6. Selecting Participants: Indicate how you plan to select participants and contributions to the workshop. Describe the relevant criteria and/or review process that will be used to select position papers. Indicate if you are planning to have a program committee to help with the organization/review process or whether reviewing and selection will be conducted solely by the organizers. 7. Organizers: Give short descriptions of each of the organizers' background and interests related to pervasive computing and the specific workshop topic. Workshop Selection: ------------------- Workshop proposals will be peer-reviewed by the Co-Chairs and a committee of experts based on the criteria described above. We aim to select a diverse set of workshops and avoid having multiple workshops on overlapping themes. Organizers of selected workshops will be asked to produce a Call for Position Papers to describe the workshop to potential participants and solicit submissions. Workshop Support: ----------------- The Pervasive 2009 conference will support the workshops in the following ways: - Announce accepted workshops via the Pervasive 2009 email distribution list - Publicize abstracts of workshops on the Pervasive 2009 Web site and point to individual workshop URLs - Provide private rooms and A/V equipment for each workshop Workshop Co-Chairs: ------------------- Yasuyuki Sumi (University of Kyoto, Japan) Elaine M.

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Workshop on Collaboration and Cognition in Next Generation Networks (CoNGN'2008) www.criticalnet.org/congn2008 In conjunction with CollaborateCom'2008 Orlando, Florida, November, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The rapid developments in the Internet and emerging alternative network protocol stacks promise unprecedented levels of sharing of information, computing and communication resources through distributed collaborations of diverse network elements. Collaborative networking comprises complex systems with many tunable interdependent components, parameters and network performance objectives. To realize their potential, collaborative networks need to provide effective and efficient support for ubiquitous integration of heterogeneous technologies such as mobile devices and infrastructures, web services, grid computing systems, various operating environments, and diverse COTS products. In addition, research is needed to provide network cognition, which entails learning and reasoning by the diverse network elements to dynamically select the ideal network operating state and adapt to varying network and group contexts in order to optimize end-to-end performance of the network as a whole. Moreover, networking aspects such as autonomicity, security, trust, management, quality-of-service support and localization need to be cognizant of group dynamics. Aparently, numerous challenges face the realization of collaborative networking. These challenges include balancing the competing goals of collaboration, autonomy and security; allowing mobile users and groups to seamlessly communicate throughout multiple heterogeneous networks and enjoy multiparty multimedia applications while on the move between different administrative domains; developing new APIs to enable applications to detect available access networks and learn their characteristics, thus becoming aware of location, context, and quality-of-service; and carefully optimizing network parameters across the entire protocol stack. The key goal of this workshop is to foster active interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate added momentum towards research addressing collaborative and cognitive networking aspects. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: Architectural principles for decentralized information, computing and communication resource sharing Moving networks and dynamic coalition environments Collaboration-aware network management Peer-to-peer collaborative networking Bio-inspired collaborative networking Cognitive and autonomic network protocols and services Collaborative sensor-actuator networks Policy-based management of collaborative networks Coopererative, un-cooperative, and anti-cooperative behavior characterization, identification, modeling, and impact analysis Context modelling and management in collaborative networks Network monitors, API and network discovery services Security, trust, and privacy models, frameworks, architectures, and systems for collaborative networks Security, dependability, privacy, QoS, performance, and energy awareness and trade-offs Middleware for large-scale, distributed, multi-modal collaboration Admission, delegation, accountability, and information flow control in collaborative networks Ubiquitous communication support for social networking Web services and grid technologies for supporting multidomain collaborative applications Testbeds and experimental frameworks for collaboration and cognition in network prtocol stacks General Co-Chairs • Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA • Silvia Geordano, University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland • Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA Program Chairs • Deepa Kundur, Texas A&M University, USA • Cristina Pinotti, University of Perguia, Italy • M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [acf-members] Call for papers ICAC 2009 Datum: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:13:51 +0100 Von: David Lewis <dave.e.lewis(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: dave.lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie Organisation: Trinity College Dublin An: <acf-members(a)cs.tcd.ie> The 6th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing Barcelona, Spain, June 15–19, 2009 http://icac2009.acis.ufl.edu/ Call for papers SCOPE To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale computing systems, computers and applications must learn to manage themselves in accordance with high-level guidance from humans – a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications (ICAC-09) is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing all aspects of self-management in computing systems and applications. In doing so, we hope to further build and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. The conference builds on previous highly influential meetings in New York, Seattle, Dublin, Jacksonville and Chicago. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing, particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. * Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, fault-tolerance, machine learning, control theory, predictive methods and their use to automate manual operations and enforce behavior. * Software engineering principles and architectures for self-managing systems, based on interoperable Grid Services, agent-based systems, Web Services, model-based systems or novel paradigms such as biological, economic or social. * System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self-managing systems in standalone, distributed, cluster, and Grid computing environments (e.g., health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning). * Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. * Specific self-managing components, such as server, storage, network, data center or specific application elements. Emphasis should be placed on techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. * Management topics, such as specification and modeling of service-level agreements, negotiation/conversation support, behavior enforcement, etc., tie in with IT governance, and interaction with legacy systems. * Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. * Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. * Applications of autonomics to real and complex problems in science, engineering, business and society. PAPER/POSTER SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATION Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference themes. Submitted papers must include original work, and may not be under consideration for another conference or journal. They should also not be under review or be submitted to another forum during the ICAC-09 review process. Authors should submit full papers or posters electronically (PDF or postscript) via EDAS using the link on the ICAC-09 conference web site. Formatting instructions will also be posted at the web site. Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society (to be confirmed), which will be distributed at the conference. Authors of accepted papers/poster are expected to present their work at the conference. WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITION ICAC-09 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on specific topics of general interest to the autonomic computing community. Workshops are expected to publish proceedings, and should cover areas that may not be properly addressed in the main scientific program. ICAC-09 will also feature a demonstration and exhibition session consisting of prototypes and technology artifacts such as demonstrating autonomic software or autonomic computing principles. Entries will be judged by a separate subcommittee led by the demo/exhibit chair. INDUSTRY SESSION A singular value of ICAC is the confluence of top researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. ICAC-09 will provide a readout of various technologies currently in play from product perspectives. Among the areas to be addressed are core enablers for autonomic capabilities to be realized, such as frameworks, protocols and autonomic engines in production systems. The industry session also will address current areas of difficulty that present direct opportunities for both academic and corporate research. Topics will be relevant to entrepreneurs, product developers, architects, managers, marketers and end users. Papers and posters reflecting such industry perspectives are especially encouraged and can be submitted as described above. STUDENT AWARDS A student best paper award will be presented, consisting of a commemorative plaque, complimentary student registration to the conference and an honorarium that will partially cover travel & hotel costs. (A student paper is defined as one in which the principal (not sole) author is a student.) The student will be required to present the paper to receive the award.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CFP MTAP Special Issue on Massively Multiuser Online Gaming Systems and Applications Datum: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 01:33:38 -0400 Von: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Antwort an: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG *Call for Papers* *Massively Multiuser Online Gaming Systems and Applications* *Special Issue of* *Springer�s Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP)* *Guest Editors: *Shervin Shirmohammadi, University of Ottawa, Canada Mark Claypool, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, U.S.A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Massively Multiuser Online Games (MMOG) are now widely used not only for gaming, but also for socializing, business and commerce, experimentation, and many other practical purposes. One could argue that MMOGs are the �killer app� that can bring Virtual Reality into the realm of eSociety, creating an environment with millions of people taking part in various activities and daily life, but electronically. This is evident from the fact that real companies are opening �virtual branches� in these online gaming platforms, such as clothing manufacturers, IBM, and CNN, to name a few companies present in Second Life. Virtual currencies such as Second Life�s Linden (or L$) are already being exchanged for real-world money, as are virtual items and virtual properties that are sold for real money. Massive numbers of users spend their time with their fellow players at online games like EverQuest, World of Warcraft, and Second Life. World of Warcraft, for example, has over ten million (10,000,000) users with a peak of over 500,000 players interacting at a given time in the digital world. There is no doubt that MMOGs have a great potential to become the corner stone of an eSociety platform bringing the massiveness of the real society into the digital realm. This special issue will cover enabling technologies and systems for MMOGs, as well as applications of MMOGs outside of gaming. The focus will be mostly on the �massive� aspect of games, but high-quality papers in real-time interactive multiuser games (albeit not massive) will also be considered if they address issues that can benefit massive games too. Hence, topics include, but are not limited to: * Networking support for massive number of players * Networked games (non-massive) * P2P architectures for better scalability * Zoning techniques, Area of Interest Management, and seamless player movement * Application-Layer Multicasting for massive user support * Performance evaluation and traffic/player pattern measurements * Audio/video conferencing in games * Latency compensation techniques * Content adaptation for players on heterogeneous receivers * Cheating: detection, avoidance, and repair * Multiuser mobile games * Case studies about applications of gaming in other disciplines such as business, pedagogy, biology, psychology, etc. Only papers that have not been published and/or submitted elsewhere will be considered. Exception will be made for previously-published high-quality conference/workshop papers, as long as they have been substantially extended in terms of technical content and evaluation. Papers should be no more than 20 pages, including figures and tables, formatted according to MTAP guidelines, please see: http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,4-40109-70-35538244- 0,00.html PDF submissions must be emailed directly to BOTH the guest editors at shervin(a)discover.uottawa.ca <mailto:shervin@discover.uottawa.ca> and claypool(a)cs.wpi.edu <mailto:claypool@cs.wpi.edu> before the submission deadline below. If the submission is an extended version of a previously-published conference paper, authors must also include explanation of what parts have been extended.

Call for Papers First International Workshop on Job and Service Delegation in Complex Networks (JOSED'2009) held in conjunction with The First International Conference on Complex Sciences: Theory and Applications (COMPLEX'2009) February 26, 2009 - Shanghai, China http://josed.org/ <http://josed.org/%C2%A0> Theme ---------- Job and service delegation are well-known areas of interest in organizational fields such as task scheduling and workflow management. However, delegation models in these areas suffer from incomplete understanding, because research in such fields has generally dealt with relatively simple network settings. As we revisit Conway's Law, we find evidence of important interplays between communication, organization and product design structures. The possible combination of several networks into a single complex network brings new cross-cutting concerns. Therefore, research issues and solutions may be gathered and tried from diverse fields such as ad hoc networks, workflow management, artificial intelligence, collaborative software development, CSCW, etc. This workshop provides a forum for exchanging problems, methods, models, and insights about delegation in complex networks. It aims at bringing together researchers in the areas of social networks, communication networks and product design in search for common understanding of the subject of delegation in complex networks. Original papers addressing applications, scenarios, models, methods, and architecture are solicited.

Call for Papers ARCS 2009
by gi-mitglieder-info＠gi-ev.de 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. 1st Call for Papers 22nd International Conference on Archticture of Computing Systems ARCS 2009 - System Architecture and Energy Awareness - held from March, 10th to March 13th in Delft, The Netherlands Submission deadline October 10th The ARCS series of conferences has over 30 years of tradition reporting top notch results in computer architecture and operating systems research. This year's focus is energy awareness viewed from two different ways. Firstly, this deals with the improvement of computer systems to be as energy efficient as possible (particularly for specific applications). One can think of heterogeneous multi-core architectures or reconfigurable architectures for this purpose. Secondly, this addresses the usage of computer systems to reduce the energy consumption of other systems, which might lead to problems of communication and cooperation. Both aspects are relevant for the conference. Like the previous conferences in this series, it continues to be an important forum for computer architecture research. In 2009 ARCS will be hosted by the Delft University of Technology, which has one of the leading information technology schools in Europe. The proceedings of ARCS 2009 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series (pending). After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture.

While a single sensor network typically provides access to information of a limited geographical area and selected types of sensor data, a GSN provides an application with uniform and transparent access to a multitude of individual sensor networks that may be geographically dispersed, aggregating and correlating different types of data as appropriate for the application. The challenges imposed by global sensor networks are relevant to many fields in computer communications and distributed systems such as sensor networks, complex event and stream processing, pervasive computing, and P2P overlays. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working in relevant fields in order to share ideas, challenges and visions on Global Sensor Networks as well as to foster new cooperation. WORKSHOP TOPICS GSN09 is looking for contributions related but not limited to the following list of topics in the domain of Global Sensor Networks: - Sensor network protocols - Complex event processing - Distributed stream processing - P2P overlays - Middleware - Security - Query processing and optimization - Quality of service - Applications SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should be submitted in PDF format via the workshop page. Contributions may present i) novel and possibly preliminary research results (full papers 12 pages, short papers 6 pages) , ii) position papers describing major challenges (6 pages), iii) new trends from the industry (2 pages). Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the program committee and are selected according to their originality, quality, and relevance to the workshop topics. Accepted papers will appear in the KIVS Workshop proceedings. For accepted papers at least one author must register with the workshop and give a presentation at the workshop. Submissions must follow the KIVS formatting guidelines and must not exceed the given page limits. Note that contributions in English as well as in German are welcome.

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications and environments supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2009 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Paper submissions are due on Oct 13, 2008 at 23:59:59 PDST. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates Conference proceedings will be published by the ACM. Unlike previous years, printed proceedings will be given to participants at the workshop (rather than having a post-conference proceedings). As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. The important dates as well as the organizing and program committee members are listed below. We look forward to seeing you at HotMobile 2009.
