Objectives Network and service management today faces numerous challenges, ones that older ways of doing things cannot solve. Several proposals and paradigms have been proposed in the last few years to offer possible solutions to these issues. In most cases they are providing a system-wide view of the network and its services, thus trying to shift the emphasis of management and monitoring away from specific devices and interfaces towards users and applications. This Special Issue will provide the reader with the last relevant results in this field, thus providing a common base for researchers and practitioners that need to understand the current status and trends of management of IP networks and services. 2. Subject coverage In this special issue original research articles providing results of practical use for IP network and service managers will be published. Contributions are solicited on (but not restricted to) the following subject categories: • New Abstractions for Management and Monitoring. • Self-Management and Self-Configuration of Networks and Services. • Techniques for Evaluating Network Management Architectures and Frameworks. • Information Models Applied to Management and Monitoring. • Management Platforms, Interoperability, Standards and Protocols. • Management of Networks and Services: VPNs, Optical Networks, CATV Networks, Mobile and Ad-Hoc Networks, Voice over IP, Transaction Oriented Services, Electronic Commerce, Active and Programmable Networks, Sensor Networks. • Management of Grid Computing, Clusters, Peer-to-Peer Applications, and Ubiquitous Computing Environments. • Intrusion Detection and Network Management. • Management Aspects of Service Pricing, Accounting and Billing. • Management of Service Level Agreements and Quality of Service. • Business and Service Management. • Data Warehousing and Data Mining in Management. • Data Management in Grid Scenarios. • Programmable, Mobile and Intelligent Agents in Management. • Peer-to-Peer Network Technologies for Management. • Management Technologies and Frameworks (Web, XML, CORBA, DEN, etc). • Network and Systems Monitoring. • Fault and Performance Management. • Traffic and Performance Management. • Security Management. • Open-Source Management Software. • Case Studies and Experiences in Management. 3.

In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas (for example, a multi-disciplinary program on sensors and sensor networks was launched in 2003 at the US National Science Foundation) and research activities are booming recently. This workshop concentrates on 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 include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models * 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 * Geocasting and anycasting * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Sensor area coverage problems * 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 IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: April 30, 2007 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2007 Workshop Date: October 12, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

Self-organization will enhance flexibility and evolvability of organically growing, large-scale distributed systems. Driven by randomness and feedback, the relation between cause and effect of these systems may appear chaotic: minor causes may have severe impact, whereas seemingly major causes may only have a small effect. Traditional mathematical models tend to be linear and, thus, are not suitable to model such chaotic systems. Models to be developed should be simple to remain scalable to the huge number of entities in the systems under investigation and to be generally applicable. Following PMSOS 2006, we again aim to investigate the methodology for modeling and evaluating the performance and reliability of complex self-organizing systems at the edge of chaos. To this end, this meeting once more brings together leading national and international experts and creates a forum for knowledge exchange. IMPORTANT DATES * Ext. abstracts / paper submission deadline: May 21st 2007 * Notification of acceptance: June 11th 2007 * Camera ready papers due: June 25th 2007 * Registration due: June 29th 2007 * Meeting date: July 13th 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION The submitted extended abstracts, short papers, and full papers will be reviewed and published in form of a Technical Report.

Obviously, this shift in paradigm leads to a variety of open research challenges. Solutions to these challenges are pivotal in either leveraging the possible advantages of self-organizing systems, but could also turn out to be a heavy burden for both operators and users. The goal is clear: after purposefully introducing (artificial) means of self- organization, the beneficial features - often identified as the so- called self-* properties - should clearly outnumber the critical ones, like un-controllability, undesired instability and criticality, or unpredictability. Thus, it is essential for the community to learn how to design, engineer, optimize, and control complex, almost chaotic systems in a structured, purposeful way. One tool that provides means for this demand is the concept of mathematical modeling. This PIK special issue aims at giving a survey on the topic of self-organization and mathematical modeling techniques that are capable of modeling self-organizing behavior. PROPOSED TOPICS * Essential properties of self-organizing systems * Modeling of self-* properties, such as self-organization, self-management, self-adaptation/-configuration, self-monitoring/-diagnosis, self-tuning/-optimization, self- protection, and self-repair/-healing * Metrics for evaluating self-* properties * Formal and mathematical models of self-organizing and complex systems * Observing self-organized criticality with the help of formal/mathematical models * Tools, test beds, and simulations capable of evaluating self- organizing systems * Performance, QoS, dependability, reliability, and availability modeling of self-organizing systems * Mathematical optimization of self-organizing systems * Security and fault-tolerance models for self-organizing systems * Modeling of emergent behavior * Design and construction of self-organizing systems * Control theory for self-organizing systems Modeling the (un-)controllability of self-organizing or emergent systems * Abstracting from self-organization and complexity * Scalability of complex model evaluation IMPORTANT DATES * Paper submission: August 19th, 2007 * Notification of acceptance: October 21st, 2007 * Camera ready papers due: November 11th, 2007 AUTHOR INFORMATION Submissions of both technical papers and project reports in English or German are welcome.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd IEEE Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications Environments (MACE 2007) Datum: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 11:47:40 +0100 Von: Brendan Jennings <bjennings(a)tssg.org> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies for cross postings. ______________________________________________________________________ 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications Environments (MACE 2007) San José, California, USA October 29-30th 2007 Held as part of Manweek 2007 - http://www.manweek.org ______________________________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications Environments (MACE 2007) will be held from October 29-30th 2007 in San José, California, USA. The workshop will be technically sponsored (confirmation pending) by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). As part of Manweek 2007 MACE will be co-located with four other events: the 10th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS 2007); the 7th IEEE Workshop on IP Operations and Management (IPOM 2007); the 18th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management (DSOM 2007); and the 1st IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Virtualization Grid Networking and Management (EVGM 2007). The MACE workshop aims to promote the realisation of Autonomic Communications Environments (ACEs) - service-centric environments exhibiting self-governing behaviour. Within an ACE, services will be created that are self-aware and self-healing. In their deployment, they will be self-adapting, self-optimising and self-configuring; and in operation they will be self-protecting, self-managing and self-composing. These features will enable ACE services to adapt to changing business needs and environmental conditions without manual intervention. Realisation of this vision represents a significant challenge for the networking and computer science research communities, requiring advances in disparate areas ranging, for example, from software modeling to network security, and from machine learning to performance optimisation. MACE 2007 will bring together researchers from academia and industry in a workshop setting in which research challenges can be identified, ideas for potential solutions exchanged, and research results discussed. Topics of interest for paper submission include, but are not limited to: - Advances in Modelling and Meta-Modelling; - Governance Models (incl. Policy-based Management); - Methodologies (incl. Lifecycle, Behaviour, Design by Contract); - Mathematical Models of Autonomic Systems and ACEs; - Biology-inspired Techniques and Algorithms; - Sociology-inspired Techniques and Algorithms; - Model and Language Driven Development (incl. UML and code generation techniques); - Intelligent Service Negotiation, Composition, and Security; - Tool, Simulation and Testbed support for Autonomic Systems and ACEs; - Testing and Validation Processes; - Managing and Handling Context: Sensing, Inferring, and Application; - Autonomic Wireless Access and Seamless Mobility; - Machine Learning, Reasoning, and Inference Techniques; - Algorithms and Processes for Network Robustness and Performance; - Evolving industry standards to facilitate ACEs. PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Submission of late-breaking results and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research is encouraged. Papers that are published, or concurrently submitted to another journal, conference, or book should not be submitted. The Proceedings will be published in the Multicon Lecture Notes series. Papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs, and should not exceed 15 pages in length. Papers must be submitted in PDF format via http://jems.sbc.org.br/mace2007.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] CfP IWSOS 2007 Datum: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:35:15 +0200 Von: Stefan Fischer <fischer(a)itm.uni-luebeck.de> An: ELG KUVS <elg(a)kuvs.de>, "Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 \"Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme\"" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> IWSOS 2007 Call for Papers ========================== New Trends in Network Architectures and Services: 2nd International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2007) The IWSOS 2007 workshop will be held on 11-13 September in the English Lake District, organized by the Computing Department at Lancaster University (http://www.infolab21.lancs.ac.uk). Workshop URL ------------ http://www.iwsos.org/2007 Sponsorship ----------- Sponsorship of IWSOS 2007 is kindly provided by the following partners: ACM - http://www.acm.org - (Pending) CONTENT - (Pending) EuroNGI - http://eurongi.enst.fr/ IEEE - http://www.ieee.org - (Pending) IFIP - http://www.ifip.org Workshop scope -------------- Future networked systems will, to some degree, need to be self-organizing. For example, they will be deployed in remote and hostile environments, where manual setup and configuration may be undesirable or impossible. Some networks, such as mobile ad-hoc networks, will be spontaneously deployed, have a dynamic population, and may be short-lived. The time it takes traditional management activities to converge, where people are in the control loop, is unsuitably long for these kinds of network. Furthermore, the potential scale and complexity of future networked systems, including the future Internet, will make some form of self-organization highly desirable and perhaps a necessity. The complexity of these networked systems will come from the heterogeneity of the devices, communication technologies and protocols, and stringent user requirements (e.g. resilience) that they will need to support. Research into self-organizing networked systems is in its infancy, and there is a multitude of open issues to be addressed. For example, self-organization will need to be implemented in a decentralized way for scalability and resilience reasons; approaches to achieve this will need to be found. The controllability and also the emergent behavior of self-organizing systems will need to be addressed. It is probable that programmable networking technologies will be needed to support the dynamic behavior of self-organizing systems; what shape this programmability will take and how it can be deployed in a safe way will need to be investigated. We should also try to understand how self-organization can play a key architectural role in the future Internet for enhanced flexibility and evolvability amongst its other desirable properties. Building on the success of its predecessor, and now only in its second year, this workshop aims to bring together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization and the means to achieve it. The key topics of the workshop include, but are not restricted to: * Self-organization and self-management * Self-configuration and self-optimization * Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing * Autonomic networking principles and practice * Networks for pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Sensor and ad-hoc networks, e.g. smart dust * Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks * Group-forming networks and techniques * Visualization of network system state * Methods for operator directed configuration and management of large, complex networks * The role of programmable networks for self-organization * Inspiring models of self-organizing in nature and society * Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home networks * Quality of Service / service level agreements and self-organization * Resilience, robustness and fault tolerance for networked systems * Security and self-organization in networked systems * Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet * Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence * Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks * Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering * Self-organization in role-based and multilevel systems * The human in the loop of self-organizing networks * Risks in self-organization, risk management techniques * The (un-)controllability of self-organizing or emergent systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline: April 16th 2007, 17:00 GMT * Notification of acceptance: June 8th 2007 * Camera-ready papers due: June 29th 2007, 17:00 GMT * Author registration deadline: July 27th 2007, 17:00 GMT Initial Submission ------------------ IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal.

Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc 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 VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. A high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia, VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, and VANET 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, the Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) will be held in Montréal, QC, Canada September 14, 2007, in conjunction with MobiCom 2007. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Safety and non-safety applications - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Communication protocol design - 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 VANET present a highly active field of research, development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include the consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe) and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers.

New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the users needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: First International Workshop on Protocols and Algorithms for Reliable and Data Intensive Sensor Networks (PARIS'07)]

19 Mar '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: First International Workshop on Protocols and Algorithms for Reliable and Data Intensive Sensor Networks (PARIS'07) Datum: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 12:11:51 +0100 Von: Christoph Weyer <c.weyer(a)tu-harburg.de> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ========================================================================= The First International Workshop on Protocols and Algorithms for Reliable and Data Intensive Sensor Networks (PARIS'07) October 8th, 2007 --- Pisa, Italy http://paris.tu-harburg.de/ Held in conjunction with the Fourth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems ======================================================================== The field of wireless sensor networks has advanced considerably over the past years and new research problems are emerging. In particular the aspect of quality of service is becoming more important as applications are turned into products. This workshop focuses on the issue of reliability in data intensive wireless sensor networks. It is held just one day prior to the Fourth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS'07) in the pleasant town of Pisa, Italy. This event provides an ideal opportunity to meet leading experts and to discuss new ideas. The main objective of PARIS'07 is to bring together international researchers with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas and experience and to find new research directions to follow. It will represent an international forum to give an overview of the most recent trends. WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION An new emerging class of applications has very high bandwidth requirements. In some of these applications sensors measure data at rates 100 Hz and higher. At the same time sensors such as cameras are used that produce high volumes of data. Examples of applications that show these characteristics are structural monitoring of buildings, volcano and coastline monitoring, and Surveillance of public transport systems. Protocols and algorithms developed for lightly-loaded sensor networks can not be directly applied to this domain. Besides being data intensive, some applications require that the measured data is reliably transported towards a sink. A reliable service is needed if the data from all sensors is used to build a model, where only the entirety of the data allows a correct interpretation. Any loss of data items requires extrapolation reducing the quality of the analysis or even rendering the analysis impossible. The reliable transportation of high volumes of sampled data through a multi-hop network with limited resources towards a sink has not received much attention until now and is a real challenge. Also it is not obvious which reliability criteria to use, in same applications statistical guarantees may also suffices. These questions are part of the more general topic of quality of service for wireless sensor networks. While this topic has received a lot of attention in wired communications systems, there are only a few contributions dedicated to sensor networks. The objective of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for academic researchers and industry practitioners to present and discuss experiences and research results for this new emerging field and to find new research directions to follow. TOPICS PARIS'07 seeks original papers describing research in all areas described above. Papers should not have been published or be in submission at another workshop or conference. Topics include but are not limited to: * Quality of service for sensor networks * Intelligent and adaptive scheduling mechanisms * Power management for data intensive applications * Energy-aware reliable transport protocols * Probabilistic reliability * Fault tolerance in sensor networks * In-Network aggregation schemes * Distributed data compression * Bulk data transportation * Stream processing in sensor networks Submissions should present original reports of substantive new work. Papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. In addition to regular papers, we also solicit submissions of position papers articulating high-level architectural visions, describing challenging future directions, or criticizing current design wisdom. Position papers should contribute perspective rather than performance numbers, wisdom rather than knowledge, and guidance rather than results. Furthermore, we encourage reports on lessons learned from real-world deployments and best practices for different applications areas. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers from an international program committee. Accepted submissions will appear in the main conference proceedings published by the IEEE. SUBMISSION INFORMATION All submissions must be full papers in .pdf or .ps (PostScript) format. Papers must be uploaded to the EDAS conference system by April 30, 2007, and must not exceed 6 single-spaced, two-column pages (4 pages for position papers and experience reports) using at least 11 point size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. Detailed submission instructions will be published in due time on the workshop website.

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. (Please visit <http://pernets.org/>http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) 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. * The architectural framework of personalized networks * Context awareness and support * 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 accounting * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * 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 will 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Informatik 2007: Workshop für Kontextbewusste und ubiquitäre Anwendungen Datum: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 10:12:51 +0100 (CET) Von: gi-mitglieder-info(a)gi-ev.de An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, Anbei finden Sie eine Einladung zur Beteiligung am Workshop "Kontextbewusste und Ubiquitäre Anwendungen im Logistiksektor" im Rahmen der GI-Jahrestagung 2007 in Bremen. Bitte geben Sie den Call auch an interessierte Kolleginnen und Kollegen Ihrer Community weiter. Einen Flyer im PDF-Format finden Sie zum Herunterladen unter http://ubilog.iai.uni-bonn.de/2007/ubilog07-cfp.pdf Weitere Informationen zum Workshop enthält die Webseite http://ubilog.iai.uni-bonn.de Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Pascal Bihler, Florian Michahelles, Holger Mügge und Albrecht Schmidt ----------------- Vielen Dank, Pascal Bihler -- Pascal Bihler University of Bonn, Institute of Computer Science III Roemerstrasse 164, D-53117 Bonn, Germany -------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: Ubilog '07 Workshop für Kontextbewusste und Ubiquitäre Anwendungen im Logistiksektor Workshop im Rahmen der INFORMATIK 2007 24.-28.09.2007, Universität Bremen http://ubilog.iai.uni-bonn.de -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Motivation ---------- In der Logistikbranche haben sich in den letzen Jahren unabhängige und eingebettete Rechnersysteme etabliert. In komplexen Anwendungen wie zur Mauterfassung gibt es erste Ansätze einer kontextbewussten Datenverarbeitung. Technische Innovationen wie RFID und preisgünstige mobile Computer erlauben es, Kontext-Informationen (wie zum Beispiel über Sensoren), und deren mobile Verarbeitung stärker zu nutzen. So kann Software kontextabhängig über eine vorherige Antizipation hinausgehend dynamisch angepasst werden. Besonders in den Bereichen B2B und B2C könnten so flexiblere Logistikanwendungen und eventuell längere Produktlebenszyklen erzielt werden. Die nächsten Schritte sind geprägt durch dynamische Vernetzung und Adaption bestehender und neuentwickelter Anwendungen. Ziele sind: Kostensenkung, Effizienzsteigerung, wie auch eine Verbesserung der Kundenzufriedenheit. Neben diesen Chancen müssen ebenso die Risiken betrachtet werden, wie etwa Einflüsse auf Datenschutz, Privatheit, veränderte Arbeitsprozesse sowie ökologische Wirkungen. Auf diesem Workshop sollen praktische und wissenschaftliche Erfahrungen ausgetauscht und gemeinsam neue Lösungen diskutiert werden. --------------- Mögliche Themen --------------- Beiträge für den Workshop sollten folgende Themenbereiche als inhaltlichen Schwerpunkt beinhalten: * Erfahrungsberichte über den Einsatz von RFID und Sensornetzen in der Logistik * Architekturen für unternehmensübergreifende Logistiksysteme welche ubiquitäre Technologien nutzen * Neue Methoden, Werkzeuge und Sensorsysteme zu Kontexterfassung in der Logistik * Technologien und Mechanismen zur Nachverfolgung von Gütern und Fahrzeugen * Adaptive Benutzerschnittstellen für kontextsensitive Logistikanwendungen * Modellierung von Ubiquitären Logistikanwendungen * Anwendungs-Evolution und Change-Management sowie deren programmiertechnischen Voraussetzungen * Softwaresysteme und Middleware-Lösungen für orts- und kontextabhängige Systeme * Programmoptimierungen zur Echtzeitverarbeitung von Sensor- und Logistikdaten auf Rechensystemen mit limitierten Ressourcen * Lösungsansätze für Probleme der robusten Gerätekommunikation in Transport und Fertigung * Ansätze zur systemübergreifenden Kontextmodellierung, Ontologien * Sicherheit und Datenintegrität in Logistiksystemen * Wissensgewinnung aus Logistikdaten und Datamining * Datenschutz in ubiquitären und kontextbewussten Logistiksystemen * Chancen und Risiken kontextsensitiver Techniken in der Logistik, Betrachtungen zur Technikfolgenabschätzung: ökonomische und ökologische Wirkungen * Ansätze und Erfahrungen für die Optimierung von Logistikprozessen mittels ubiquitärer Rechentechnologien * Bedeutung eingebetteter Datenverarbeitung beim Übergang von der traditionellen unternehmensspezifischen Logistik zu modernem Supply-Chain-Management -------- Beiträge -------- Ziel des Workshops ist es, ein Forum zur Präsentation und Diskussion praktischer Erfahrungen und aktueller Forschungsergebnisse zu bieten. Wissenschaftler, Entwickler, Entscheidungsträger und Anwender aus dem Bereich der kontextsensitiven und ubiquitären Anwendungsentwicklung sind eingeladen, sich aktiv in die Disukssion einzubringen.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: IWSOS 2007 Datum: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 10:36:30 +0100 Von: Patrick Wüchner <patrick.wuechner(a)UNI-PASSAU.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ====================== CALL FOR PAPERS: IWSOS 2007 ========================= New Trends in Network Architectures and Services: 2nd International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2007, http://www.iwsos.org/2007) The IWSOS 2007 workshop will be held on 11-13 September in the English Lake District, organized by the Computing Department at Lancaster University (http://www.infolab21.lancs.ac.uk). Workshop scope -------------- Future networked systems will, to some degree, need to be self-organizing. For example, they will be deployed in remote and hostile environments, where manual setup and configuration may be undesirable or impossible. Some networks, such as mobile ad-hoc networks, will be spontaneously deployed, have a dynamic population, and may be short-lived. The time it takes traditional management activities to converge, where people are in the control loop, is unsuitably long for these kinds of network. Furthermore, the potential scale and complexity of future networked systems, including the future Internet, will make some form of self-organization highly desirable and perhaps a necessity. The complexity of these networked systems will come from the heterogeneity of the devices, communication technologies and protocols, and stringent user requirements (e.g. resilience) that they will need to support. Research into self-organizing networked systems is in its infancy, and there is a multitude of open issues to be addressed. For example, self-organization will need to be implemented in a decentralized way for scalability and resilience reasons; approaches to achieve this will need to be found. The controllability and also the emergent behavior of self-organizing systems will need to be addressed. It is probable that programmable networking technologies will be needed to support the dynamic behavior of self-organizing systems; what shape this programmability will take and how it can be deployed in a safe way will need to be investigated. We should also try to understand how self-organization can play a key architectural role in the future Internet for enhanced flexibility and evolvability amongst its other desirable properties. Building on the success of its predecessor, and now only in its second year, this workshop aims to bring together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization and the means to achieve it. The key topics of the workshop include, but are not restricted to: * Self-organization and self-management * Self-configuration and self-optimization * Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing * Autonomic networking principles and practice * Networks for pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Sensor and ad-hoc networks, e.g. smart dust * Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks * Group-forming networks and techniques * Visualization of network system state * Methods for operator directed configuration and management of large, complex networks * The role of programmable networks for self-organization * Inspiring models of self-organizing in nature and society * Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home networks * Quality of Service / service level agreements and self-organization * Resilience, robustness and fault tolerance for networked systems * Security and self-organization in networked systems * Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet * Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence * Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks * Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering * Self-organization in role-based and multilevel systems * The human in the loop of self-organizing networks * Risks in self-organization, risk management techniques * The (un-)controllability of self-organizing or emergent systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline: April 16th 2007, 17:00 GMT * Notification of acceptance: June 8th 2007 * Camera-ready papers due: June 29th 2007, 17:00 GMT * Author registration deadline: July 27th 2007, 17:00 GMT Initial Submission ------------------ IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal.

Akan <akan(a)ece.gatech.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER) Special Issue on WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA SENSOR NETWORKS Submission deadline: April 30, 2007 _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have recently been the focus of a significant amount of attention and effort of the research community. The main motivation has been to address the challenges posed by the WSN paradigm, i.e., limited node power, processing, and communication capabilities, dense network deployment, multi-hop communications, and heterogeneous application-specific requirements. The vast majority of these studies applies to conventional WSN applications which need reliable and efficient communication of scalar event features and sensor data such as temperature, pressure, humidity. With the availability of low-cost small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, microphones, which may ubiquitously capture multimedia content from the field, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) have been proposed and drawn the immediate attention of the research community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems, require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video. To this end, additional challenges for energy-efficient multimedia processing and communication in WMSN, i.e., heterogeneous multimedia reliability definitions, tight QoS expectations, and high bandwidth demands, must be addressed as well. This special issue solicits papers describing the state-of-the-art, reliable and efficient multimedia processing and delivery solutions imperative for the realization of WMSN. Original contributions (previously unpublished and not currently under review) are solicited in areas including (but not limited to) the following: * Novel WMSN architectures and applications * Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming in WMSN * Energy-efficient MAC, routing, and traffic management for WMSN * Cross-layer design for effective communications in WMSN * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions for WMSN * Distributed source coding and multimedia processing in WMSN * Information fusion and multimedia aggregation in WMSN * Group and cooperative communications for multimedia delivery in sensor/actor networks * WMSN capacity modeling and theoretical analysis * Delay-tolerant networking for WMSN * Topology control, localization, synchronization, and mobility * Physical layer technologies for efficient WMSN * Secure multimedia communications in WMSN * Experimental and testbed studies of WMSN Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective Authors: Please follow Computer Networks (Elsevier) Journal format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet.

Opportunistic Networks enable users' communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper.

Opportunistic Networks enable users' communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [IFIP-EC-NEWS] CFP: Transmedial Interaction Design Workshop at ACE2007 Datum: Mon, 05 Mar 2007 09:10:19 -0500 Von: Shaowen Bardzell <selu(a)indiana.edu> An: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> ** IFIP ENTERTAINMENT COMPUTING NEWS SERVICE ** http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec ** Send all news to: icec(a)listserver.tue.nl **************************************************** ** NOTE: Please reply to article's originator, ** not this IFIP EC News Service **************************************************** Call for Workshop Participation Transmedial Interactions and Digital Games http://hcid.informatics.indiana.edu/ace2007/ held in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology (http://www.ace2007.org/) on June 12th in Salzburg, Austria [Workshop Aims & Goals] As virtual worlds and games grow in importance, present limitations in access to them limits their ability to achieve their potential. In persistent online worlds, peer actions and event changes have cumulative effects that are consequential to individuals, whether or not they are available, just as in real life. But unlike real life, where we have plenty of tools to help us juggle multiple responsibilities, access into virtual worlds today occurs through a single access point; active participation requires a significant stationary commitment. Even the most dedicated users have difficulty keeping up with the dynamic information. To remain active and included, users need better ways to communicate, cooperate, and coordinate. Transmedial access, in which players¹ access to a game and their characters/data is made possible across different devices, offers a promising solution to this problem. It also inaugurates a new category of interaction design: transmedial interaction. This workshop explores the state of the art of transmedial interaction in games, which today unfortunately is often at most mere afterthought. It provides a participatory environment in which attendees can chart new paths forward, from developing viable business models and understanding the technical infrastructure to developing critical vocabularies and evaluative frameworks. The workshop is intended for a broad audience, which will collaboratively achieve the following: * Review current state-of-the-art examples of transmedia interactions in entertainment computing, especially video games * Survey the technical infrastructure needed for transmedia interactions in digital games (e.g., feedback, adaptivity, etc.) * Understand how the strength and weakness of different media channels shape player experiences during transmedia interactions * Construct design guidelines for transmedial interactions and determine the components needed for successful and seamless transmedial interaction design * Consider evaluation criteria for transmedial interactions [Submission] We encourage participation from diverse academic disciplines including design, HCI, computer science,, media and game studies, strategic communications, and psychology, as well as industry experts and practitioners, for a total of 15-20 people. Specifically, this workshop will create a synergy among the following target audiences: * Online and mobile game designers interested in developing appropriate mechanisms to overcome the difficulty of designing for multiple media channels and cross-media experiences * Interaction designers and researchers interested in human-human and human-machine interactions across devices, including mobile and ubiquitous computing * Gaming industry pioneers interested in the exploration of novel ways to extend and integrate different media channels¹ capacities to create cross-device and cross-network experiences for their target customers * Entertainment computing marketers interested in identifying key challenges and solutions in promoting transmedial experiences Participants will be selected based on 2-4 page position papers that address workshop goals.
