The scope of the workshop will broadly cover all the important aspects of QoS research: in networking (wireline, wireless, and sensor networks), distributed systems, operating systems, servers, and middleware (such as grid computing and peer-to-peer systems). The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions and encourages multi-disciplinary approaches to QoS research. Besides traditional QoS topics, we welcome submissions on relevant technical issues, such as availability, reliability, security, pricing, incentive, resource management, and performance guarantees, in the context of networking and distributed systems. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * QoS in the wide-area Internet, peer-to-peer, overlay * QoS in large-scale distributed systems, including grid environments * QoS in wireless, mobile, ad hoc, and sensor networks (including wireless mesh networks) * QoS in intranets and VoIP systems * QoS for web services and storage systems * System dependability, availability, resilience, and robustness * Security and privacy as QoS parameters * QoS specification, translation, and adaptation * QoS evaluation metrics and methodologies (measurements, verification, etc) * QoS analysis and modeling * QoS pricing and billing * QoS architectures and protocols (including QoS routing) * Programmability and language features supporting QoS * Rationality, incentive, microeconomics, and self-interest in decentralized networks * QoS and new media * QoS and haptics , virtual environments * QoS in business processes, workflows IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Full-length papers for submission must not exceed 20 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 -- 150 words. Short papers for submission must not exceed 5-6 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references. An abstract of 3-5 lines is recommended. When submitting a short paper, the authors of short papers must check the corresponding check box at the submission site. All papers must be submitted in either Postscript or the Adobe PDF format, and no other formats are accepted by the paper submission web site. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at IWQoS 2007. IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to provide fast turnaround. The deadline for papers is therefore as close to the conference (about 4-5 months apart). The workshop is a single-track forum spanning two and a half days. Award will be given at the workshop to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student. The best paper award will be chosen in consultation with the TPC members and will be based on the topic, technical contributions, review scores and comments of the paper. Important Dates Paper abstract deadline: February 16, 2007 Paper submission deadline: February 23, 2007 Notification of acceptance: April 6, 2007 Camera-ready papers due: May 4, 2007 Workshop dates: June 20-22, 2007 Program Co-Chairs Yan Chen Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois, USA Chen-Nee Chuah University of California-Davis Davis, California, USA Email: iwqos07-tpcchairs at cs.northwestern.edu <mailto:iwqos07-tpcchairs@cs.northwestern.edu> Finance Chair Aleksandar Kuzmanovic Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois, USA Publicity Chair Haining Wang College of William and Mary Williamsburg, Virginia, USA Web Master Lihua Yuan University of California, Davis Davis, CA, USA Steering Committee * Nina Bhatti, Hewlett Packard Laboratories, USA * Hermann De Meer, University of Passau, Germany * Baochun Li, U of Toronto, Canada * Yang Richard Yang, Yale University, USA * David Yau, Purdue University, USA * Zhi-Li Zhang, U of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA Program Committee: * Ehab Al-Shaer, DePaul Univ., USA * Violeta Cakulev, Lucent Labs, USA * Dah-Ming Chiu, Chinese Univ. of Hong Kong, China * Hermann deMeer, University of Passau, Germany * Peter Dinda, Northwestern Univ., USA * Zhenhai Duan, Florida State Univ., USA * Fabian E.

The focus of ACNM is on intelligent communication, network control and management paradigms based on smart network and service elements that are capable to automatically configure and organize themselves. Autonomic networks will be able to sense their environment to perceive these changes, to understand the meaning of these changes, and to react in an intelligent manner through adaptation. This facilitates new ways to perform network control, management, service creation, etc. Autonomic networking naturally also applies to mission critical distributed systems, since autonomic behavior allows for immediate reaction to changes in the networking environment or context, and correction of any (predicted) problems. Such behavior also facilitates fault-tolerance and resilience. ACNM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange their research ideas and findings. The workshop will be held in conjunction with IM2007, which draws many leading researchers in the field of Network and Systems Management. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the EU IST Project ANA. *** TOPICS *** The topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Autonomic network architectures and principles - Paradigms, tools and techniques autonomic communication systems - Control and management in dynamic/mobile network environments - Self-management of communication systems and networks (e.g., based on peer-to-peer principles) - Policy control for autonomic networks & systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for autonomic networks - Advances in and application of control theory - Self-co-operating peer-to-peer networks - Self-organizing network elements, and administrative domains - Self-X technologies - Fault-tolerance and resilience - Cognitive networking - Plug and play networking components - Knowledge based network control - Bio-inspired networks and systems - Experiences with self-X solutions - Application of autonomic management to mobile and wireless networking including 3GPP evolved UTRAN, SAE networks, etc. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** Submission deadline: January 31st, 2007 Notification of acceptance: March 16th, 2007 Camera ready due: April 9th, 2007 Workshop date: May 25th, 2007 *** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS *** Papers must be original material, not currently be under review, and not have been previously published by another conference or journal. They must be written in English. They must follow the IEEE two-column document style, limited to 6-8 US Letter size pages, with a main text font size of no less than 10pt.

It will be organised by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Cyprus. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Distributed applications and interoperable systems have become an integral part of everyday living, part of the socio-economic ecosystem of our human environment. With such interdependence between society and software, distributed software applications must be sustainable and adaptable in the long term, despite the changes in our environment. What do we understand by sustainability in distributed applications and interoperable systems? How do we ensure our distributed applications can make local adaptation to specific circumstances of their deployment? How do we make our interoperable systems evolvable in the face of widespread change in their environment? How do we integrate distributed software within the wider fabric of computing within our modern world? How can distributed applications and interoperable systems capitalise and exploit future trends and the changing user demographic? The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications and interoperable systems: design, implementation, operation and maintenance. This time we particularly solicit papers that address sustainability issues. DAIS'07 is the 7th event in this successful international conference series, commencing in 1997.

It will be co-located with the ACM Conference on Advancements in Entertainment Technologies (ACE). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PerGames series of international symposia addresses the design and technical issues of bringing computer entertainment back to the real world with pervasive games. Previous PerGames events were held in Vienna (2004), Munich (2005), Dublin (2006) and attracted researchers and practitioners from all over the world. PerGames 2007 will feature high quality paper presentations and demos reviewed by an international program committee of experts from the fields of Pervasive Computing and Gaming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This time, we call for four categories of participation: * Research Papers * Research Posters * Live Demonstrations * Citywide Games ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Papers: Research Papers present the latest findings from pervasive gaming research. Each research paper should be six to ten pages in ACM SIGCHI format and should address a relevant topic for pervasive gaming applications. Participants will be chosen on the quality/ originality of their submission by an international program committee. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Mixed reality installations * Innovative input devices * Augmented tabletop games * Emerging pervasive game concepts * Augmented reality games * (Mis-)use of enabling technologies in games * Mobile computing entertainment * Business cases for pervasive computing games * Privacy and awareness issues in pervasive games * Mixing games and serious applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Posters: Research posters will be displayed and discussed during the symposium. They should include nifty ideas or ongoing work that might be too premature for a full paper submission, but interesting to discuss and share with the audience. A poster submission includes a two page description in ACM SIGCHI format and upon acceptance the respective poster. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live Demonstrations: Due to their intrinsic nature, Pervasive Games are best understood by experiencing them firsthand and therefore PerGames will host a number of innovative demonstrations of games as part of the conference. We encourage submissions of live demos of complete, playable Pervasive Games or novel technology demonstrators. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussions. A demo submission includes an abstract that describes the exhibit and discusses its novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches. It should be two to four pages using the ACM SIGCHI format. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citywide Games: Citywide Games are larger than Live Demonstrations with respect to the suggested temporal or spatial expansion. Typically, they will be played over several hours or days within the city of Salzburg or within the conference building. PerGames 2007 will help with the advertisement, the local organization, permissions, legal issues and press contacts. Possible types of Citywide Games include (but are not limited to): * Mobile phone games * Augmented reality games * Casual games * Alternate reality games * Online on street games * Event-based games * Proximity games * Crossmedia games * Technology-enhanced larp games Citywide Game proposals should be submitted electronically and include a game title, a brief description of the game experience (appr. 200 words), as well as the names and contact information of the Citywide Game organizers. The proposal should also identify the intended audience, its size, all technical infrastructure requirements (e.g. WiFi, GSM, GPRS, Bluetooth, GPS, ...) as well as and further requirements (e.g. required space, time, power supply, etc.). Please describe the requirements in detail and be precise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submissions will be due 1. March 2007 with the acceptance notification coming 30. March and printer ready versions due afterwards. Accepted papers will be published in a printed proceedings volume and will also be made available online. The deadline for demo submissions, posters, and citywide games will be 15. April 2007.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Iscc] Autonomics'07 in Rome - first cfp Datum: Thu, 07 Dec 2006 16:15:25 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Invitation & Call-for-Papers ****** AUTONOMICS ***** *First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics-conference.eu/ 28-30 October 2007, Rome (Italy) In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics07 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: April 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2007 Final version due: September 5, 2007 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS ( http://cocus.create-net.it <http://cocus.create-net.it/>) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: F.

Compared with mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and infrastructure-based mobile cellular networks, WMNs are (1) quasi-static in network topology and architecture, (2) not resource constrained at mesh routers and (3) easy and flexible to deploy. These technological advantages are especially appealing to the emerging market requirements on future wireless networks and services, such as flexible network architecture, easy deployment and self-configuration, low installation and maintenance costs, interoperable with the existing WPAN, WLAN and WMAN networks, support of multiple radios and access methods, hierarchical mobility management, ability to attain efficient frequency reuse, high system capacity, reliable multi-hop and multi-path communications. Potential applications of WMNs include broadband home networking, community and neighbourhood networking, enterprise networking, building automation, health and medical systems, public safety and security systems, intelligent transportation systems, emergency/disaster networking, metropolitan area broadband Internet access and so on. This wide range of applications have different technical requirements and challenges in the design and deployment of mesh networking architectures, algorithms and protocols. This special issue aims to systematically address a variety of technical challenges and advanced solutions in the design, implementation and deployment of mesh networking algorithms, equipments and applications. ====================== Scope of Contributions ====================== This special issue will present the state-of-the-art applications of WMN technologies and the corresponding technical advances in the design and deployment of feasible network architectures and protocols.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [IEEE WoWMoM'07] CFP Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC), Workshop (Deadline: January 21, 2007) Datum: Wed, 06 Dec 2006 15:56:38 +0100 Von: Luciana Pelusi <luciana.pelusi(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ******************************************************************** *PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS* First IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on *AUTONOMIC and OPPORTUNISTIC COMMUNICATIONS - AOC 2007* June 18, 2007 - Helsinki, Finland http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/ organized by *ANA and HAGGLE projects* funded by the FET-IST Programme in the area Situated and Autonomic Communications (SAC) **** *Deadline --- January 21, 2007* **** ******************************************************************** We are faced with an era where the widespread use of small portable wireless devices and wireless technologies are building the pervasive vision. This pervaded world has generated new communication paradigms: autonomic and opportunistic communications. Communication among devices in a pervasive environment can happen if the devices can communicate autonomously, and manage their own evolution and configuration changes in the network, without explicit user or administrator action. In a pervasive world, even in the absence of any connectivity infrastructure mobile devices can communicate using the connection "opportunities" that arise due to mobility. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks Adaptive security for self protection of networks Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic and opportunistic communications Mobility models for opportunistic networking Novel management techniques for autonomic and opportunistic communications Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.

These heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes, restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn, mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing, and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the complexity of these ambitious wireless systems. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of extreme importance to bridge the communication technologies with biological sciences and capture the analogy between these two distinct disciplines. To this end, solution strategies inspired by the biological systems have been recently proposed to address the challenges of many computing and communication systems. This special issue is dedicated to capture the state-of-the-art and the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools * Biological and bio-inspired computing, data processing algorithms * Joint bio-inspired data processing and communication * Embryonics-based fault-tolerant computing and communication * Bio-inspired network and communication algorithms and protocols * Novel applications and services inspired by biological systems * Experimental studies of bio-inspired computing and communications * Bio-inspired topology control and network reconfiguration methods * Bio-inspired localization, synchronization, mobility approaches * Evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols * Immune and self-healing network defense and information security * Bio-inspired nano-scale and molecular computing and communication * Bio-inspired distributed control and sensing of networked wearable and implantable medical devices Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective authors:Please submit the PDF of your paper, biographies and photos of the co-authors to http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc and choose Special Issue: Bio-Inspired Computing as the Article Type.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers/Abstracts IEEE INFOCOM 2007 High-Speed Networks Workshop (Anchorage, AL, May 11, 2007) Datum: Mon, 4 Dec 2006 09:29:02 -0600 Von: Byrav Ramamurthy <byrav(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE INFOCOM 2007 HIGH-SPEED NETWORKS WORKSHOP Anchorage, Alaska, May 11th, 2007 http://iweb.tntech.edu/nghani/infocom/index.htm Sponsored by ------------ United States Department of Energy, Office of Science Technical Co-Sponsorship by --------------------------- IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking (TCHSN) IEEE ComSoc Optical Networking Technical Committee (ONTC) Several e-Science applications have already demonstrated the need for agile networks operating well beyond 100 Gbps. Moreover, current trends point towards the need for a sustained terabits/sec end-to-end throughput and unprecedented levels of scalability to accommodate the requirements of emerging applications in a broad range of domains, including entertainment, computational monitoring and steering, multi-scale simulation and combustion modeling, remote instrumentation, and network-based visualization. Several attempts have been made to address emergent bandwidth needs by deploying larger capacities in the network core. Increasing physical-layer transmission speeds, however, has not yielded dramatic increases in end-to-end user-level throughputs. Moreover, the limitations of current network protocols and traffic engineering frameworks have proven to be a serious impediment to large-scale deployment of distributed bandwidth-intensive applications. To overcome these limitations, there is a critical need for novel "clean-state" approaches which transcend the traditional methodologies, network architectures and protocols used today . This workshop is designed to provide a unique forum to explore new frontiers in the area of ultra high-speed and high-performance networks, not constrained by the features and limitations of current networks, with a particular focus on enabling large-scale distributed e-Science applications. The objective is to facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas among members research community centered on the design, validation and deployment of ultra-high speed network architectures and protocols to support the end-to-end requirements of bandwidth-intensive applications in a transparent and optimal manner. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, include: Innovative "clean-slate" network architectures for next generation ultra-high speed networks Switching technologies including packet, burst and circuit switching Ultra high-speed transport protocols Novel approaches and strategies for highly secure ultra-high speed networks, protocols and systems Dynamic provisioning in ultra high-speed optical networks Control and signaling plane technologies (GMPLS, UNI, NNI, etc.) Application optimized network middleware Novel protocols and mechanisms for large-volume data transfers over long distances High-speed I/O and storage systems Remote visualizations and instrumentation design and tools Remote computational monitoring and steering tools and mechanisms Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract in PDF format. All abstract submissions should be emailed to the TPC co-chairs at nghani(a)tntech.edu and byrav(a)cse.unl.edu and will be acknowledged. Authors will be notified about the selected abstracts and requested to provide final presentation slides and extended paper versions (up to 5 pages in length). These materials will be compiled on to CD format in advance of the event and distributed to the registered attendees. Additionally, the extended papers will also be published in the IEEE Xplore listings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Autonomics'07 in Rome - first cfp Datum: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 08:58:17 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Invitation & Call-for-Papers ***** AUTONOMICS ***** First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics-conference.eu/ 28-30 October 2007, Rome (Italy) In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics07 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: April 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2007 Final version due: September 5, 2007 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [CfP]: UbiComp Challenge Datum: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 15:45:39 +0100 Von: Matthias Kranz <matthias(a)hcilab.org> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de UbiComp Challenge ----------------- UbiComp 2007 [1] will introduce a new instrument to promote and encourage high quality research in the area of UbiComp: The UbiComp Challenge. It is a field test intended to accelerate research, development and applicability of UbiComp technology. Using an "eating your own dog's food" approach, the UbiComp2007 Challenge is seeking for submissions of how to implement an audience voting system to finally determine the winner of the "Best Presentation Award" which will be given at UbiComp2007 for the first time. The central requirement is that the proposed solution makes clever and efficient use of UbiComp technology, and can actually be implemented by the proposers before and used at the conference in September 2007. The conference organizers reserve a grant of up to 2000 EUR to buy necessary equipment claimed and justified by the best proposal. The challenge call [2] is intentionally underspecified in terms of approaches and technologies to allow for a creative and innovative scientific solution employing all kinds of ubiquitous computing technologies and techniques that are appropriately addressing the problem space. The challenge offers an excellent way to showcase tangible results of ubiquitous computing research and development to approx. 500 attendees from academia and industry, which is also the amount of people which are expected to use the winner's system at the same time, so it should scale adequately. We believe that the experiences and findings from developing and running a system of this scale provide valuable results to the UbiComp community. The UbiComp Challenge committee will carefully review all submissions to identify the most appealing approach, which is still realistic to be implemented in the given timeframe: Submission Deadline: Feb 01, 2007 Notification: Mar 15, 2007 Conference: Sep 16-19, 2007 We expect submissions in form of an abstract that describes the ubicomp technology being adopted and discusses the novelty and distinguishing ideas, but also provide justification for the feasibility of the approach and cost estimates. The challenge abstract of the best five submissions will be published in the Conference Supplement and should therefore be self-contained. The best submissions are also given the opportunity to showcase their apporaches in the UbiComp demo program. The abstracts should be a maximum of 8 pages, in the LNCS conference publications format, including all figures and references and one additional page for the review process summarizing all pieces of equipment you expect to use and a complete cost estimation of your solution. Submit your proposals as PDF document to challenge(at)ubicomp2007.org We are looking forward to your submissions!

Special Isssue of ACM TAAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on Organic Computing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems Special Issue on Organic Computing SCOPE Organic Computing (OC) has emerged recently as a challenging vision for future information processing systems, based on the insight that we will soon be surrounded by systems with massive numbers of processing elements, sensors and actuators. Because of the size of these systems it is infeasible for us to monitor and control them entirely from external observations; instead they will need to help us monitor, control and adapt themselves. To do so, these components will need to be aware of their environment, to communicate freely, and to organize themselves in order to perform the actions and services that are required. The presence of such networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens up fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct these systems as robust, safe, and trustworthy as possible. In order to achieve all these goals, our computing systems will have to act more independently, flexibly, and autonomously. Thus, we are interested in new analytic methods and architectures underlying complex systems. In OC, we put an emphasis on systems that exhibit life-like properties, such as being self-organizing, self-configuring, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware. The vision of OC and its fundamental concepts arose independently in different research areas like Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Computer Science & Engineering. In this special issue, we welcome contributions from all these areas to OC. We seek theoretical as well as carefully evaluated practical papers dealing with complex computing systems that adapt dynamically to the current conditions of their environments, exhibit self-x properties as described above, and are partly inspired by biological information processing principles. For more information on OC see: OC Page: http://www.organic-computing.org DFG research program OC: http://www.organic-computing.de/SPP IEEE OC Task Force: http://www.neuroinformatik.rub.de/thbio/project/oc ACM TAAS ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) is a venue for high quality research contributions addressing foundational, engineering, and technological aspects of complex computing systems exhibiting autonomous and adaptive behavior.

Through the use of mobile devices and devices embedded in the surrounding physical environments, users can be provided transparent computing and communication services at all times and in all places. The complexity of providing such services stems from the fact that the communication devices and the objects with which they interact may both be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services, and an understanding of the cross-layer interactions between all of these components. The Fourth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (Mobiquitous-07) will provide a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions, design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences needed to build successful ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, data management and services, all with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing. PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. Technical papers clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following feature topics as applied to mobile and ubiquitous environments: - Ubiquitous architectures, systems and applications - Wearable computing and personal area networks - Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi) - Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems - Ad hoc and sensor networks support for ubiquitous computing - Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks - Wireless/mobile service management and delivery - Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems - Service and knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms - Location-based services and tracking in ubiquitous environments - Context- and location-aware applications - Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems - Context modeling, services and frameworks - Toolkits, testbeds, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing - Rapid prototyping of ubiquitous applications - Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing - Mobile and ubiquitous data management and processing - Data replication, migration and dissemination in ubiquitous environments - Queries, transactions and workflows in mobile and ubiquitous environments - Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile) SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically (see the conference web page for details). Authors should prepare an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of their full paper. Papers must not exceed 8 pages double column (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references.

In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising facets of a paradigm shift. Self-adaptive systems work in a top-down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible. Self-organizing systems work bottom-up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions, and it is difficult to deduce properties of the global system by studying only the local properties of its parts. This edition of SASO will focus on engineering, as opposed to speculative and conjectural visions. Contributions should present novel theoretical results, or practical experience with building systems, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. Topics o Self-* properties: - self-organization - self-adaptiveness - self-management - self-monitoring - self-tuning - self-repair - self-configuration - etc. o Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems o Management and control of self-* systems o Robustness and dependability of self-* systems o Engineering and control of emergent properties in self-* systems o Biologically and socially inspired self-* systems Systems & Technologies o P2P applications o Mobile robots o Sensor networks o Mobile ad hoc networks o Grids o Embedded systems, ubiquitous computing o Autonomic computing, autonomic communications o Computer networks, telecommunication networks o Multi-agent systems o E-business systems and services o Complex adaptive systems Research Communities o Distributed artificial intelligence o Networking o Software engineering o Distributed systems o Integrated management o Robotics o Knowledge-based systems o Machine learning o Control theory o Mathematical optimization Organization General Co-Chairs: Ozalp Babaoglu, University of Bologna, Italy Howard E.

These systems are frequently distributed over heterogeneous networks, and are driven by many diverse requirements on performance, real-time behavior, fault tolerance, security, adaptability, development time and cost, long life concerns, and other areas. Such requirements frequently conflict, and their satisfaction therefore requires managing the trade-off among them during system development and throughout the entire system life. The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial, academic, and government experts, from a variety of user domains and software disciplines, to determine how the disciplines' problems and solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers, practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transition experts are all welcome. The scope of interest includes long-term research issues, near-term complex system requirements and promising tools, existing complex systems, and commercially available tools. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE AND TOPICS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers are solicited in all areas related to complex computer-based systems, including the causes of complexity and means of avoiding, controlling, or coping with complexity. Topic areas include, but are not limited to: + Avionics and Automobile Software + Content Production and Distribution Systems, Mobile and Multi- channel Systems + Context Awareness Computing + Formal Methods and Approaches to Manage and Control Complex Systems + Human Factors and Collaborative Aspects + Integration of Heterogeneous Technologies + Interoperability and Standardization + Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing + Real-time and Embedded Systems + Sensor Network Systems and Applications + Software and System Development and Control Processes for Complex Systems + Software Architecture and System Engineering + Software Complexity Visualization + Systems and Software Safety and Security + Tools, Environments, and Languages for Complex Systems + Verification Techniques for Complex Software Systems + Virtual Environments for Managing Complexity + Web Services Modeling and Compositions Different kinds of contributions are sought, including research papers, lessons learned, status reports, and discussion of practical problems faced by industry and user domains. The ultimate goal is to build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers, and students. A program goal is to organize several sessions that include both academic and industrial papers on a given topic and culminate panels to discuss relationships between industrial and academic research. Papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and Experience Reports. The papers submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program committee members, and papers accepted in either category will be published in the conference proceedings. Technical papers should describe original research, and industrial experience reports should describe practical projects carried out in industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format. Papers should not exceed 10 pages including figures, references, and appendices and be in PDF format. Submissions of papers will be carried out electronically via the Web (Submission Page).
