Apologies if you receive the posting multiple times. --Mahbub ----Start of CFP---- Call For Papers Feature Topic on Wireless Mesh Networks IEEE Communications Magazine http://www.comsoc.org/dl/commag/cfpcommag307.htm Next generation communication networks are facing the challenge of providing adaptive, flexible, and reconfigurable architectures capable of catering to the dynamics of the network, while providing cost effective solutions for service providers. Wireless mesh networking (WMN) has emerged as a promising concept to meet such challenges of next generation networking. In WMN, no cabling is needed to connect the routers together. All routers self-organise and auto-configure themselves wirelessly, and form a rich radio mesh connectivity among themselves that is difficult to provision in wired networks. While wireless router connectivity significantly reduces the up-front deployment and subsequent maintenance costs, the rich mesh connectivity helps delivering high level of reliability and robustness. Due to these attractive features, WMN is being considered for a wide variety of application scenarios such as backhaul connectivity for cellular radio access networks, high-speed metropolitan area mobile networks, community networking, building automation, intelligent transport system networks, defence systems, and city-wide surveillance systems. Despite significant advances in the last few years, many challenging research issues, such as sharp drop in available throughput as the number of wireless hop increases, remains to be resolved. Industry, academia, and standard bodies are all actively working together on bringing this technology to its maturity. The aim of this Feature Topic is to feature the recent advances in theory and application of wireless mesh network. Articles from both academia and industry are solicited. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Throughput enhancing techniques for paths with many wireless hops - Latency reduction techniques - Multipath routing in wireless mesh networks - Advanced antenna technologies - Manageability and interoperability issues - Self organization and network configuration - Test-bed design, experimental results, implementation and prototypes - Novel application and deployment scenarios - Standardisation activities (e.g. IEEE 802.11s) - Security architectures and protocols for wireless mesh networks - Mobile mesh networks Important Dates Manuscripts Due: August 01, 2006 Acceptance Notification: November 01, 2006 Final Revised Manuscripts Due: January 01, 2007 Publication Date: March, 2007 Submission Guidelines Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: Multimedia System Journal -- Special Issue on: Collaborative Haptic Audio Visual Environments and Systems Datum: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 03:21:05 -0400 Von: A. El Saddik <abed(a)mcrlab.uottawa.ca> An: Abdulmotaleb El Saddik <abed(a)mcrlab.uottawa.ca> Our apologies if you have received multiple copies -------------------------------------------------- Multimedia System Journal (published by the Springer Verlag, and sponsored by the ACM SIGMM) Special Issue on: Collaborative Haptic Audio Visual Environments and Systems Multimedia and Information technology are reaching limits in terms of what can be done in multimedia applications with only sight and sound. The next critical step is to bring the sense of “touch” over network connections, which is commonly known as Tele-haptics. Haptics, a term which was derived from the Greek verb “haptesthai” meaning “to touch”, introduces the sense of touch and force into the human-computer interaction. Virtual Environments (VE) are usually referred to as computer generated 3D worlds wherein users can interact through various human-computer interfaces and experience the so called “virtual world”. Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE) are VEs that, in addition to the virtual experience, provide the ability for users to collaborate, such as co-manipulation of shared objects and tele-mentoring. A special case of a CVE is the collaborative haptic virtual environment (C-HAVE) where, in addition to traditional multimedia such as image, audio, and video, this new haptic media plays an important role. C-HAVEs allow multiple users, each with his/her haptic device, to collaboratively manipulate shared objects in a virtual environment. The potential of such technology is quite significant for many applications such as tele-presence, tele-learning, tele-medicine, tele-operation in hazardous environments, industrial design and testing, gaming, and interactive virtual reality. This particular special issue will target articles related to the directions and advances made on the scientific, engineering, and commercial fronts for C-HAVEs. Some potential topics relative to this special issue include: * Perception of Haptic systems * Architecture of C-HAVE systems * Haptic-based input/output methods and user-environment interactions * Cross-disciplinary collaborative Haptic applications * Medical C-HAVEs, such as tele-surgery training or tele-medicine * Tele-operation of robots/vehicles in C-HAVEs * Issues in the design of cross-cultural collaborative virtual environments * Haptic as a new media for Internet Gaming Submission Details: (per e-mail to: abed(a)mcrlab.uottawa.ca) Authors should submit original contributions, that have not been published at or submitted to other conferences or journals, in electronic format (PDF) to the editor of the special issue Abdulmotaleb El Saddik (abed(a)mcrlab.uottawa.ca).

Infrastructureless networks include both wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks as important classes. Dependability issues such as reliability, availability, quality of service and security are made more challenging by the wireless and infrastructureless environment. Reliability and availability challenges include the varying characteristics of a wireless channel, which is subject to interference, fading, and multipath effects. General quality of service mechanisms become even more important due to bandwidth and other resource limitations. Challanges such as dealing with partitioned operation have led to new research areas such as delay-tolerant networking. The presence of mobile nodes in many of these settings complicates further the dependability issues. Clearly, these dependability challenges must be met before the full promise of ad hoc and sensor networks can be realized. GOAL AND TOPICS The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers to focus exclusively on the important topic of dependability issues in ad hoc and sensor networks, to outline its specific and unique research challenges, and to identify some of the most promising candidate solution methods and techniques to address those challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Adaptive network protocols - Distributed algorithms for dependability - Network lifetime modeling and evaluation - Impact of mobility on dependability - Dependability case studies - QoS adaptation - Fault-tolerant and/or secure routing - Dependability techniques for resource constrained environments - Space-time routing - Network-level techniques for mitigating unreliable wireless links - Countering denial of service and energy-draining attacks - Dependable and secure services - Coverage and connectivity problems - Security against physical attacks - Data availability and consistency - Error-tolerant data aggregation in sensor networks - Handling network partitions - Delay-tolerant networking - Mobility-assisted routing SUBMISSIONS Papers should be written in English, must conform to the proceedings publication format (ACM Conference Style) and should not exceed eight pages, including text, references, figures and appendices. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. The paper must be submitted electronically in .pdf format through the EDAS submission system.

The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP : Peer-to-Peer Multimedia Streaming - IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 18:37:16 -0300 (BRST) Von: nfonseca(a)ic.unicamp.br An: multicomm(a)comsoc.org Call for Papers - IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Peer-to-Peer Multimedia Streaming In recent years, peer-to-peer (p2p) multimedia streaming has aroused much interest both in research communities and in industries. By allowing peers serving each other in the network, p2p technology overcomes many limitations in traditional client-server paradigm to achieve user and bandwidth scalabilities. It has been shown that performance of a properly-designed p2p network actually improves, rather than deteriorates, with the increase of population size. Peer-to-Peer technology is promising for large content distribution as demonstrated by a number of proof-of-concept prototypes in both academia and companies. In a p2p multimedia streaming system, multimedia contents are delivered to a large pool of distributed users with low delay, high quality and high robustness. Fueled by advances in networking and compression technologies, p2p multimedia streaming has experienced much initial deployment success for applications such as Internet TV (IPTV), video conferencing, and surveillance. It is the key to address the emerging needs of large-scale digital IPTV, interactive videos, interactive games and other next-generation broadcast-based or personalized multimedia services. A scalable peer-to-peer multimedia system should support many hosts, possibly in excess of hundreds or even millions, with diverse heterogeneity in bandwidth, capability, storage, network, and mobility. It should also be able to support various applications under dynamic user arrival and departure, frequent host failures and unavailability, and unpredictable user behaviors, network traffic and congestion. In a p2p streaming networks, users should be able to share, search, and access contents in a distributed and efficient manner. To achieve these goals, it is particularly important to address the challenges in architecture design, network/transport support, resource discovery and content delivery mechanisms. Scope of Contributions ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This feature issue is devoted to original surveys and tutorials on these emerging issues in P2P streaming. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished original articles that are not under review in any other conference or journal. Topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: - Peer-to-peer media distribution, systems and infrastructures - Novel peer-to-peer streaming applications and services - Overlay networks and application-level multicast for media streaming - Robustness in peer-to-peer streaming networks - Scalability, reliability, accessibility, manageability, and availability for P2P streaming systems - Resource discovery and location in peer-to-peer streaming - Performance measurement and monitoring of peer-to-peer streaming systems - Deployment experience and application of peer-to-peer media distribution systems - Peer-to-peer streaming prototypes and their implementation - Reputation, trust and incentives in peer-to-peer streaming systems - Peer-to-peer based content distribution - Business models for P2P media distribution - Mobile P2P streaming Schedule ^^^^^^^^ Submission Deadline: November 1st, 2006 Acceptance Notification: February 15th, 2007 Final Manuscript: April 1st, 2007 Publication date : June, 2007 Submission of Papers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For manuscript submission, the authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines under "Information for Authors" at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline for LOCAN 2006 extended to June 26th Datum: Mon, 19 Jun 2006 08:55:28 +0200 Von: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Due to numerous requests we decided to extend the deadline to June 26th. Please, find below the revised CFP. Our apologies for duplicate postings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2006 2nd International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2006 (www.ieee-mass.org) Vancouver, Canada, October 9 - 12, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the research community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. 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 behaviour 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 main 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 for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery * Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: June 26, 2006 Acceptance Notification: July 19, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2006 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. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS2006 workshops.

System support platforms can significantly affect the widespread and rapid adoption of novel mobile devices, because they influence both functional and non-functional characteristics of the forthcoming mobile applications. In fact, novel support for future mobile computing applications should be capable of reconciling the heterogeneity of low-level system features with application-specific requirements. In addition, it should be capable of managing the dynamic evolution of platforms and application requirements by accommodating novel system features and application requirements efficiently. This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to foster an exchange of research results and experiences in the area of mobile applications from a system support perspective.

September 29, 2006 Los Angeles, California, USA Important Dates: * EXTENDED Paper Submission Deadline: Tue., June 20, 2006 * Notification to authors: July 24, 2006 * Camera Ready Due: August 4, 2006 WMASH aim: ACM WMASH aims to address and discuss the technical and business challenges, ideas, views, and research results in providing public wireless Internet services and applications for mobile users in small, highly-populated, public spaces (wireless LANs and "hotspots"). Since the beginning of the workshop in 2003 several research and business challenges related to public WLAN were put forward. These challenges still need to be explored and market needs to converge while new developments continue. The challenges are: What is the overall network architecture and service model? How to roam through multiple wireless access providers with a unique service contract? How to decouple the wireless infrastructure providers from the Internet service (and content) providers? How to locate service facilities in the wireless access domain and how to match the available facilities with the user needs? How to exploit location and context information? How to provide differentiated service levels to different customers? How to achieve seamless interoperation between WLAN-based hotspots and cellular and other emerging wireless data networks? The last challenge, concerning seamless interoperation, is catching the most attention these days leading to activities in IEEE 802 and in 3GPP to move quickly towards finding standardized solutions. This workshop will aim at discussing these and several other challenges and issues behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access. Leaders and thinkers of the field from academia and industry will assemble to share their ideas and views. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers or position papers, describing current research, experimental work and visions of the future. We are specifically interested in work dealing with network layer and above (layers 3-7). Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but is not limited to: * Applications and services * New service and business models * Public WLAN and hotspot architectures * Community-owned WLAN infrastructures * WLAN-based ad-hoc network service creation and management * Metro-area hotspots using 802.11/802.16 mesh * Multi-radio mesh node designs * Self-configuring mesh networks for public hotspots * Mobile routers for transient, portable hotspots * Application case studies of mobile routers * Inter-working with other wireless systems, e.g., 3G, 802.16 * Mobility, roaming, and handoff management * Context-aware services and technologies * Location-aware applications and services * Multimedia wireless applications, e.g., Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) * Authentication, accounting, billing and payment issues * Security and privacy in public WLANs * Middleware support * Service location and discovery * Traffic measurements and modeling * Case studies on deployed platforms and experimental test beds Please consult the Program Co-Chairs Anand R. Prasad (prasad(a)docomolab-euro.com) and Sajal K. Das (das(a)cse.uta.edu) if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop. Paper Submission: The workshop solicits two types of contributions: regular papers and posters. Submitted regular papers must not be currently under review for any other publication. The poster session are meant for early research results. Posters may not preclude concurrent submissions on the same topic in regular conferences and journals. All submissions will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members, and will be judged by their technical merit, originality, and relevance to the workshop. All accepted regular papers and poster descriptions will be published in the workshop proceedings, which will be available at the ACM digital library. Selected regular papers will also be included in a special issue of an ACM journal. The page limits for a regular paper and a poster description are 10 and 3 pages, respectively.

Infrastructureless networks include both wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks as important classes. Dependability issues such as reliability, availability, quality of service and security are made more challenging by the wireless and infrastructureless environment. Reliability and availability challenges include the varying characteristics of a wireless channel, which is subject to interference, fading, and multipath effects. General quality of service mechanisms become even more important due to bandwidth and other resource limitations. Challanges such as dealing with partitioned operation have led to new research areas such as delay-tolerant networking. The presence of mobile nodes in many of these settings complicates further the dependability issues. Clearly, these dependability challenges must be met before the full promise of ad hoc and sensor networks can be realized. GOAL AND TOPICS The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers to focus exclusively on the important topic of dependability issues in ad hoc and sensor networks, to outline its specific and unique research challenges, and to identify some of the most promising candidate solution methods and techniques to address those challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Adaptive network protocols - Distributed algorithms for dependability - Network lifetime modeling and evaluation - Impact of mobility on dependability - Dependability case studies - QoS adaptation - Fault-tolerant and/or secure routing - Dependability techniques for resource constrained environments - Space-time routing - Network-level techniques for mitigating unreliable wireless links - Countering denial of service and energy-draining attacks - Dependable and secure services - Coverage and connectivity problems - Security against physical attacks - Data availability and consistency - Error-tolerant data aggregation in sensor networks - Handling network partitions - Delay-tolerant networking - Mobility-assisted routing SUBMISSIONS Papers should be written in English, must conform to the proceedings publication format (ACM Conference Style) and should not exceed eight pages, including text, references, figures and appendices. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. The paper must be submitted electronically in .pdf format through the EDAS submission system. Accepted papers will be published in the official workshop proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] cfp: Contaxt-Aware Mobile Systems (CAMS) workshop Datum: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 20:06:01 +0200 Von: annika hinze <hinze(a)cs.waikato.ac.nz> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please note that the deadline for abstract submissions to CAMS has been extended to the 30 June 2006 (as have the deadlines for all OTM workshops). The new paper deadline is July 10. Second International Workshop on Context-Aware Mobile Systems (CAMS'06) ....................................... Montpellier, France, Oct 29 - Nov 3, 2006 http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/cams2006cfp.html In conjunction with OnTheMove Federated Conferences (OTM'06) http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag GOAL Following from 2005's very successful workshop, the purpose of the CAMS 06 workshop on Context Aware Mobile Systems is again to bring together researchers from diverse communities who are interested in the design of mobile systems that are sensitive to their environment, users and task. We seek contributions from researchers of all backgrounds, in particular mobile systems, context- and location-aware systems, data modelling, middleware and distributed systems, and computer supported cooperative work (CSCW). WORKSHOP THEME Mobile systems can be deployed in a wide range of physical environments to support users in diverse tasks. Advanced mobile systems need to exploit information about the environment in which they are working. This .context awareness. is much more than location awareness alone, or merely the immediate situation. The workshop is focussed on systems that address more sophisticated models of context that use many different aspects. A key aspect of context-aware mobile systems is using models and techniques to adapt the system.s behaviour so that it behaves in a manner that is relevant and pertinent to the current context. The workshop focuses on service design and implementation issues for mobile context-aware systems. Approaches range from modelling of the context, through processing of context, to the architecture through which a context-based system can be implemented. For context sensitive applications to be delivered in the real world, the critical middle layer of the mobile systems needs to be much better understood. In addition, fundamental interaction design, content strategies such as content caching and collaborative mechanisms provide other important areas of research. WORKSHOP AIMS The field of context-aware mobile systems is a new and emerging research topic. We aim to bring together researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds who focus on the design and implantations of CAMS. The workshop will provide a forum that initiates and facilitates communication between different research communities. CAMS will aim to clarify the differing constraints and required functionality in representative applications and identify mutually agreed research questions within the area. Together, participants will explore methods for the evaluation and comparison of context-aware mobile systems. Overall, we seek to cross-fertilise the ideas and innovations of currently unconnected groups. Topics of Interest Topics welcome at the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Data models of context * Data management for mobile context-aware services (e.g. caching, peer-to-peer, indexation, compression) * Process models for context-aware systems (e.g. event-based, communication, selection) * Architecture for mobile context-aware applications * Research questions unique to the mobile context-aware area * User context models and processing * Adaptivity * User interfaces for mobile context-aware systems (e.g. for context representation and manipulation by the user) SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed 10 pages in the final camera-ready format for regular papers and 4 pages for position papers. Authors instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html The paper submission site is located at: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/cams/2006/papers Accepted workshop contributions will be published by Springer-Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) as a part of the workshop proceedings of the 2006 International On The Move Federated Conferences (OTM). Registering to the OTM conference and CAMS workshop is a prerequisite for the paper to be published. Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.

Papers may report on: (1) The design, implementation, evaluation and deployment of such systems. (2) New ideas: a session is reserved for "idea" papers, held to less stringent standards of system evaluation. (3) Experience with earlier concepts: a session is reserved for experience papers, for which depth of evaluation is paramount, and novelty less important. Authors may designate their paper for one of these sessions, but need not to. To encourage diversity, any single author may submit at most two papers. Papers authored by program committee members are held to a significantly higher standard, and their number in the final programme severely restricted. Reviewing is not double blind; feel free to include your affiliation and all references in full. Papers are reviewed by the programme committee, with the help of outside referees. Papers will be accepted primarily for their impact on the Systems community, and for bridging gaps between different communities. Novelty, clarity of explanation and thorough evaluation are additional criteria. Acceptance may be provisional, subject to further shepherding by a member of the program committee before final acceptance. The conference does not have a predefined format or a target number of accepted papers. Papers will be accepted or rejected based on their merits, and the conference will be organized in a format that accommodates the number of papers that meet that criterion. SUBMISSION Papers should not exceed 14 pages double column including figures and tables in standard ACM format, but preferably using 10pt or larger font on 12pt spacing. Papers that exceed this length will be rejected without consideration of their merit. For detailed submission instructions, please refer to the submission web site. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty and fraud. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets ACM guidelines should contact the program chair at eurosys2007_pc(a)eurosys.org.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE/IFIP Symposium on Integrated Management (IM 2007) Datum: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 17:10:24 -0500 Von: Ehab Al-Shaer <ehab(a)cs.depaul.edu> Antwort an: ehab(a)cs.depaul.edu Organisation: DePaul Univeristy An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, <itc(a)comsoc.org>, <ifip_nm-admin(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca>, <cnom-bounces(a)orion.lrg.ufsc.br>, <policy-sig(a)doc.ic.ac.uk> <My apologies for receiving any duplicate.> CALL FOR PAPERS IM 2007 10th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Management "Moving from Bits to Business Value" 21-25 May 2007 Munich, Germany http://www.im2007.org Important Dates --------------- Abstract Registration: August 24, 2006 midnight (GMT) Submission: September 1, 2006 midnight (GMT) -- No extensions will be granted Notification of Acceptance: December 1, 2006 Camera ready Copy: February 15, 2007 The Tenth IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Management (IM 2007) will be held 21-25 May 2007 in Munich, Germany. IM 2007 will present the latest technical advances in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Held in odd-numbered years since 1989 and taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS, IM 2007 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the field of integrated management. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). Integrated management of networked systems is facing new challenges, stemming from a combination of rapidly evolving technologies and an increased scrutiny from corporate customers. At the same time, as IT and network services become more and more ubiquitous, their reliability and performance become more critical for all kinds of enterprises. The resulting demands for improving and verifying service quality must be met in an environment of increasingly distributed and decentralized service provisioning, accelerated service lifecycles, and unprecedented security challenges. Today's IT management issues involve many diverse problems in controlling heterogeneous IT infrastructures, often across organizational boundaries. However, new and difficult challenges are emerging while aligning technical and organizational IT management to business requirements, thus calling for integrating management tools and measures "from bits to business value". IM 2007 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and vendor exhibits. In the tradition of previous events, we strive to make the IM 2007 Symposium the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services. Submission Instructions ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the IM 2007 web site. Papers must be written in English. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions will be rejected without further review. Full papers are required for review. If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10 printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP LOCAN 2006: 2nd International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks Datum: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 17:14:48 +0200 Von: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Our apologies for duplicate postings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2006 2nd International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2006 (www.ieee-mass.org) Vancouver, Canada, October 9 - 12, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the research community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. 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 behaviour 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 main 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 for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery * Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: June 19, 2006 Acceptance Notification: July 19, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2006 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. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS2006 workshops.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP : 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks MHWMN 2006 Datum: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 23:07:53 -0400 Von: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Antwort an: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organisation: University of Guelph An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: denko(a)snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca ****** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message **** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks 2006 (IEEE MHWMN'06) Website: http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2006/CFP.htm In conjunction with IEEE MASS 2006 (www.ieee-mass.org), Vancouver, Canada, October 9-12, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIM and SCOPE The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management Quality of services (QoS) delivery in MHWMN Seamless Mobility, Vertical Handoff Robust and scalable routing protocols for MHWMN MAC protocols for MHWMN Self-configuration and synchronization for MHWMN Security issues in MHWMN Topology control and management for MHWMN Mobility models and location management in MHWMN Cross-layer design and interactions for MHWMN Modeling and performance evaluation for MHWMN Algorithms for localization and signal processing in MHWMN Implementation testbeds for MHWMN Operating systems and middleware for MHWMN Mesh networks SUBMISSIONS Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is eight (8) pages.

NOSSDAV 2007 17th International workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio & Video Urbana Champaign, IL, USA June 4-5, 2007 http://www.nossdav.org/2007/CFP.pdf For seventeen years, NOSSDAV has fostered cutting edge, state of the art research in multimedia and newly emerging areas such as networked games and peertopeer streaming. The workshop environment encourages lively discussion among participants and invites strong feedback for work in progress. In 2007, NOSSDAV will be held at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign IL, USA. UIUC is in driving distance to Chicago, offering spectacular architecture, art museums and live jazz. Urbana is close to various national historical landmarks including President Lincoln's house & library. NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia computing and networking and strongly encourages work in progress in emerging areas. Papers grounded in high quality experimental research based on prototype and real systems are highly valued. NOSSDAV will give extra consideration to papers that aim to comprehensively validate previous work in some topic within multimedia, propose new directions for research or call into question existing conventional wisdom. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Peer to peer streaming • Networked games • Sensor networks and architectures • In network stream processing • Wireless and mobile multimedia systems • 3D multimedia and teleimmersion • Streaming 3D graphics and virtual world • Application level multicast • Multimedia security • Digital rights management • Realtime operating system support for multimedia • Multimedia middleware and frameworks A broad view will be taken in deciding what topics are within scope.

But as the volumes of data grow, so does the importance of, and challenges associated with, multimedia content protection and security. To address these challenges, it is imperative to devise effective and flexible solutions. New technologies offer convenient ways to distribute and consume digital media; yet these new technologies also make it relatively easy to quickly and flawlessly copy digital data, posing tremendous challenges to protecting intellectual property rights. Multimedia security standards aim to define specifications that facilitate effective and flexible content protection schemes and promote interoperability among applications. While that is the Holy Grail, developing secure multimedia applications and solutions in a distributed environment with competing technologies and emerging standards is an enormous challenge. During this workshop, we will explore ways in which a combination of emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovative solutions and technologies that enable new markets might drive both new applications and entirely new ways of managing content. We will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from several perspectives: researchers, consumers and content/service providers. Call for Papers The intention of this workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from multimedia security communities (academia and industry) to share a vision of "Multimedia Security and Content Protection in this Rapidly Growing Digital World". That is, from identifying challenging problems that can shape the future of research, to practical applications and/or research that address issues posed by the convergence of television, computers and the Internet. We welcome papers on applications that combine emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovating solutions, and technologies that enable new markets. This workshop will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business, and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from the several perspectives: researchers, consumers, and content/service providers. We encourage submissions on papers on all topics in the general areas of multimedia security, multimedia content protection, emerging standards, interoperability, and practical applications issues. Papers that bridge across these areas are of special interest.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers and Submission Guidelines - IMS as Service Delivery Platform for Converged Networks Datum: Fri, 2 Jun 2006 14:25:13 -0400 Von: Varma, Vijay K <vvarma(a)telcordia.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> ---------- Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP --------- ************************ Deadline Approaching *************************** Special Issue on IMS as Service Delivery Platform for Converged Networks: Architecture, Protocols, and Applications IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is globally considered as the common platform for providing a unified session control on top of various access network technologies for realizing flexible multimedia applications. IMS is also driving the notion of Next Generation Networks and Fixed Mobile Convergence by merging the fixed and mobile telecommunication networks with the Internet and the adoption of IP technologies within the telecom domain. >From a technology perspective the IMS represents conceptually a combination of fixed and mobile networks from the telecom domain with emerging VoIP and Internet applications in order to implement a seamless multimedia service environment. The international standardization of IMS was initiated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in 2000 and has resulted in first commercial implementations and first trial deployments around the world providing first experiences. The introduction of IMS is challenged today by the questions around business cases, IMS killer applications, migration strategies and interworking issues with existing and upcoming network and service platforms in converging networks. Topics In this special issue we would like to provide a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in IMS platform and applications development and deployment around the world. In addition, we want to identify upcoming research areas around IMS and investigate potential solutions in these areas. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but are not limited to: * IMS applications: IMS vs. Internet services, new IMS enabled multimedia applications, application servers, feature interactions, service orchestration, 3rd party interfaces, service creation toolkit, experiences with IMS combinational services * IMS and multimedia telephony, IMS and network convergence * IMS in mobile networks: PoC/PTT to IMS evolution, voice call continuity between IMS and legacy mobile networks * IMS and triple play, IMS/IPTV/iTV integration, IMS for broadcasting * IMS and access network integration and QoS issues for 3G, WLAN, WIMAX, WiBro, etc. * IMS core issues: security, performance/scalability, benchmarking, interoperability * Global IMS standards updates: IETF, 3GPP, ETSI TISPAN, OMA, etc. * IMS client standardization and implementation, IMS SIM card issues * Introduction strategies around the world for network operators Papers should be of tutorial nature and contain state-of-the-art research and development materials.

Call for Papers Special Issue of Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Systems and Applications (URL: http://cs.okstate.edu/~xiaolin/joatc/CFP06.htm) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deadline: June 15, 2006 (extended) As computer systems become increasingly large, complex and pervasive, their self-manageability and trustworthiness play critical roles in supporting next-generation science, engineering, and business applications. They provide computing services to large pools of users and applications, and thus are exposed to a number of dangers, such as, accidental/deliberate faults, virus infections, malicious attacks, illegal intrusions, and natural disasters. Identifying and rectifying problems in such complex systems which consist of several heterogeneous software/hardware/network components is non-trivial. As a result, too often computer systems fail, become compromised, or perform poorly. Therefore, it remains a challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the performance of trustworthy systems. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services that are predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, and privacy protect-able. The scale and complexity of information systems evolve towards overwhelming the capability of system administrators, programmers, and designers. This calls for the autonomic computing paradigm, which meets the requirement of self-management by providing self-optimization, self-healing, self-configuration, and self-protection. As a promising means to implement trusted and self-managing systems, autonomic computing technology needs to be further explored. On the other hand, any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trusted and autonomic computing and communications need synergistic research efforts covering many disciplines, ranging from computer science and engineering, the natural sciences, biological sciences, to social sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software, system architectures, and communication systems that support the effective and coherent integration of the constituent technologies. This special issue seeks original contributions of theoretical or practical emphasis in the area of autonomic and trusted computing systems and applications, including but are not limited to: * Autonomic Computing Theory and Models * Autonomic Computing Systems and Applications * Autonomic System Tools and Interfaces * Autonomic Grid Systems, Middleware, and Services * Bio-Inspired System Design * Context-aware Access Control * Economic Models for Autonomic Trusted Computing Systems and Applications * Embedded Trusted and Autonomic Architectures * Human Interaction with Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems * Reliability and Availability Issues in Embedded and Sensor Network Systems * Reliability Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation * Security Models and Quantification * Sensing, Monitoring and Measurements for Self-Managing Systems * Self-* Design for Ubiquitous Computing * Self-healing, Self-protecting and Fault-tolerant Systems * Software and Hardware Reliability, Verification and Testing * Trusted Autonomic Computing and Communications * Trust Models and Specifications * Trust-related Security and Privacy * Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Important Dates: Expression of Interest: ASAP, 2006 Submission Deadline: June 15, 2006 Acceptance Notification: September 1st, 2006 Final Manuscript: October 1st, 2006 Publication Date: December, 2006 Submission Information: * Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Transaction manuscript format described in the Guide for Authors at http://www.joatc.org/ * Please limit your paper appropriately so that the final version is approximately 15 pages in length following IEEE Transaction paper styles (single-space double-column). * Your email of intent to submit a paper should include author(s) information, a title and an abstract. * Please email your submission in PDF or MS Word format to the guest editors. * If you are not sure about the suitability of a given topic or if you want to know more details about the special issue's intent, please do not hesitate to contact the guest editors. * All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed according to the rules of JoATC.

[Fwd: Special Issue of IJIVP on Wavelets in Source Coding, Communications, and Networks]
by Lars Wolf 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Special Issue of IJIVP on Wavelets in Source Coding, Communications, and Networks Datum: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 10:12:37 -0500 Von: James E. Fowler <fowler(a)ece.msstate.edu> An: undisclosed-recipients:; Dear Colleague, The International Journal of Image and Video Processing will host a special issue on "Wavelets in Source Coding, Communications, and Networks". Details are provided in the call for papers which can be found at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/IJIVP/ and is also included below. Best Regards, James E. Fowler and Béatrice Pesquet-Popescu, Guest Editors ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Wavelets in Source Coding, Communications, and Networks Call for Papers Wavelet transforms are arguably the most powerful, and most widely-used, tool to arise in the field of signal processing in the last several decades. Their inherent capacity for multiresolution representation akin to the operation of the human visual system motivated a quick adoption and widespread use of wavelets in image-processing applications. Indeed, wavelet-based algorithms have dominated image compression for over a decade, and wavelet-based source coding is now emerging in other domains. For example, recent wavelet-based video coders exploit techniques such as motion-compensated temporal filtering to yield effective video compression with full temporal, spatial, and fidelity scalability. Additionally, wavelets are increasingly used in the source coding of remote-sensing, satellite, and other geospatial imagery. Furthermore, wavelets are starting to be deployed beyond the source-coding realm with increased interest in robust communication of images and video over both wired and wireless networks. In particular, wavelets have been recently proposed for joint source-channel coding and multiple-description coding.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: WMASH2006 Datum: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 16:02:12 +0200 Von: Danilo Severina <severina(a)dit.unitn.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ============================================== Call for Papers WMASH 2006 The Fourth ACM International Workshop on Wireless Mobile Applications and Services on WLAN Hotspots Los Angeles, California, USA September 29, 2006 http://wmash06.dit.unitn.it ============================================== ACM WMASH aims to address and discuss the technical and business challenges, ideas, views, and research results in providing public wireless Internet services and applications for mobile users in small, highly-populated, public spaces (wireless LANs and "hotspots"). Since the beginning of the workshop in 2003 several research and business challenges related to public WLAN were put forward. These challenges still need to be explored and market needs to converge while new developments continue. The challenges are: What is the overall network architecture and service model? How to roam through multiple wireless access providers with a unique service contract? How to decouple the wireless infrastructure providers from the Internet service (and content) providers? How to locate service facilities in the wireless access domain and how to match the available facilities with the user needs? How to exploit location and context information? How to provide differentiated service levels to different customers? How to achieve seamless interoperation between WLAN-based hotspots and cellular and other emerging wireless data networks? The last challenge, concerning seamless interoperation, is catching the most attention these days leading to activities in IEEE 802 and in 3GPP to move quickly towards finding standardized solutions. This workshop will aim at discussing these and several other challenges and issues behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access. Leaders and thinkers of the field from academia and industry will assemble to share their ideas and views. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers or position papers, describing current research, experimental work and visions of the future. We are specifically interested in work dealing with network layer and above (layers 3-7). Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but is not limited to: . Applications and services . New service and business models . Public WLAN and hotspot architectures . Community-owned WLAN infrastructures . WLAN-based ad-hoc network service creation and management . Metro-area hotspots using 802.11/802.16 mesh . Multi-radio mesh node designs . Self-configuring mesh networks for public hotspots . Mobile routers for transient, portable hotspots . Application case studies of mobile routers . Interworking with other wireless systems, e.g., 3G, 802.16 . Mobility, roaming, and handoff management . Context-aware services and technologies . Location-aware applications and services . Multimedia wireless applications, e.g., Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) . Authentication, accounting, billing and payment issues . Security and privacy in public WLANs . Middleware support . Service location and discovery . Traffic measurements and modeling . Case studies on deployed platforms and experimental testbeds Important dates: Paper Submission Deadline: June 16, 2006 Notification: August 4, 2006 Camera Ready Due: August 18, 2006 - Organizing Committees General Chair Renato Lo Cigno, University of Trento, Italy Technical Program Co-Chairs Sajal K.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of, Distributed Systems (SSS 2006) Datum: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 10:24:38 +0200 Von: Maria Gradinariu <mgradina(a)irisa.fr> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, Mohamed Gouda <gouda(a)cs.utewas.edu>, davis(a)iastate.edu [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] Eighth International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (formerly Symposium on Self-stabilizing Systems) (SSS 2006) November 17th-19th, 2006 Dallas, Texas, USA http://www.irisa.fr/sss/2006/ ============================================================================== Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS). ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Important Dates Paper Submission: July 7th, 2006 Notification to Authors: August 21st, 2006 Camera-ready: August 31st, 2006 Symposium: November 17th-19th, 2006 ============================================================================== The Symposium is a prestigious international forum for researchers and practitioners in the design and development of fault-tolerant distributed systems with self-* properties, such as self-stabilizing, self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing, self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-adaptive, and self-protecting. The theory of self-stabilization has been enriched in the last 25 years by high quality research contributions in the areas of algorithmic techniques, formal methodologies, model theoretic issues, and composition techniques. All these areas are essential to the understanding and maintenance of self-* properties in fault-tolerant distributed systems. Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, robotic networks, etc. Moreover, new applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of distributed systems. Now, more than ever, the theory of self-stabilization has tremendous impact in these areas. Therefore, this year, we are extending the scope of the symposium to cover all safety and security related aspects of self-* systems. The title of the conference has been changed to reflect this expansion. There will be three tracks: networking, safety and security, and self-* properties in static and dynamic systems. The symposium solicits contributions on all aspects of self-stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems and programing, from theoretical contributions, to reports of the actual experience of applying the principles of self-stabilization to static and dynamic systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Stabilization: - self-stabilizing systems - self-managed, self-assembling, autonomic and adaptive systems - self-optimizing and self-protecting systems - self-* abstractions for implementing fundamental services in static and dynamic distributed systems - impossibility results and lower bounds for self-* systems - application of stabilizing algorithms and techniques in dynamic distributed systems - data and code stabilization - algorithms for self-* error detection/correction Safety: - safety critical systems - trust models and specifications - semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk and reputation - trust-related security and privacy - reliable and dependable systems - fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery Security: - security of network protocols - security of sensor and mobile networks protocols - secure architectures, frameworks, policy, intrusion detection/awareness - proactive security - self-* properties and their relation with classical fault-tolerance and security - security protocols for self-* systems Networks and Applications: - models of fault-tolerant communication - stochastic, physical, and biological models to analyze self-* properties - communication complexity - data structures for efficient communication - self-stabilizing hardware, software, and middleware - algorithms for high-speed networks, sensors, wireless and robots networks - mobile agents - peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, MANETs, and wireless mesh networks - network topologies, overlays, and protocols - protocols for secure and reliable data transport and search in wireless mesh networks - information storage and sharing in wireless mesh networks Contributors are invited to submit a PDF file of their paper. Submissions should be no longer than 4800 words and should not exceed 12 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11 point font and reasonable margins (the page limit includes all figures, tables, and graphs). Submissions should include a cover page (that does not count towards the 12 page limit) that includes paper title, authors and affiliations, contact author's e-mail address, an abstract of the work in a few lines, and a few keywords. Submitted papers may have appendices beyond the 12 page limit, but reviewers are free to disregard any material beyond the 12 page limit. A paper submitted to SSS 2006 is expected to be original research not previously published; a submission may not be concurrently submitted or to any other conference, workshop, or journal. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS).
