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: May 1st, 2006 Submission Deadline: June 1st, 2006 Acceptance Notification: September 1st, 2006 Final Manuscript: October 1st, 2006 Publication Date: November-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.

To exploit these potentialities, simulation modeling and theoretical analyses have to be complemented by real experiences (e.g., measurements on real prototypes) which provide both a direct evaluation of ad hoc networks and, at the same time, precious information to realistically model these systems. The need for more experimental activities stimulated a new community of researchers combining theoretical research on ad hoc networking with experiences/measurements obtained by implementing ad hoc network prototypes. The aim of REALMAN is to bring together this community. Following the success of the first edition, this workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing measurement studies and experiences based on real ad hoc network test-beds and prototypes. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols *development*, *measurement* and *testing*, in all areas related to ad hoc networking. We encourage authors willing to submit a regular paper to also submit a *demo* proposal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Ad Hoc Networks Applications * System Prototypes and Experiences * Mobile Ad Hoc Networks * Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks * Sensor Networks * Mesh Networks * Vehicular Networks * Protocols Implementation and Testing * Middleware Platforms for Ad Hoc Networks * Ad Hoc Networking for Pervasive Environments * Situated Autonomic Communications * Location Services * Positioning and Tracking Technologies and Services * Measurement Studies * Mobility Models based on Real Data * Enabling Technologies (802.11, 802.15, etc.) * Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks DEMO SESSION A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing real prototypes at work.

It is widely used in both academia and industry as a means of designing, testing and evaluating new and existing protocols and architectures, and it is also a very useful tool for educational purposes. The Workshop on ns-2 (WNS2) is a one-day event held in conjunction with VALUETOOLS, the First International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (http://www.valuetools.org/). The main goals of the WNS2 workshop are: to bring together networking researchers from both academia and industry, to discuss recent advances, to identify future directions in network simulation, and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. The workshop devotes special interest to the future evolution of ns-2, and its extension in novel research areas and networking technologies and scenarios. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ This workshop is mainly focused on the simulator in itself. We are especially looking for original contributions that go beyond the use of ns-2 "as is", and try to make it evolve. The following topics are of particular interest: - Development of new simulation models and features, especially in, but not restricted to, the areas of: * Mobile networks, 3G and 4G networks, WLANs, WPANs, WiMAX... * Delay-tolerant networking. * Congestion-control and transport-layer issues in long-fat networks. * Network mobility (NEMO). * Sensor networks. * Peer-to-peer systems. * Grid computing. - Large-scale network simulation and model-based simulation approaches. - Post-processing tools and GUIs for statistical analysis and visualization of simulation results. Other topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Validation of ns-2 behavior with experimentation and real data. - Comparative studies of ns-2 and other network simulation tools, both commercial and freely-available. - Parallel and distributed versions of ns-2. - Use of ns-2 in teaching networking concepts and techniques.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Sigcomm Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS) Datum: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 14:22:56 -0800 (PST) Von: Kevin C. Almeroth <almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu (See below: papers are due April 21st) ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Sigcomm 2006 - Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS-06) Pisa, Italy - September 11-15, 2006 ===================================================================== Technical Area: Challenged networks include those found in mobile and in-motion networking, dynamic wireless networks, heterogeneous and mobile sensor networks, interplanetary networking, and networks providing rural connectivity. Such networks are not well served by standard TCP/IP solutions, due to the prevalence of disconnection, disruption, intermittency, large delays, or other factors. Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. It has scaled well beyond the original plan of its designers, and the Internet Protocol has been carried on a great number of underlying protocols, including itself. However, the Internet's protocol architecture suffers some problems when implemented on classes of networks for which it was not originally designed. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common, or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop, we wish to explore physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. More specifically, we solicit papers in the following areas: - Characterization of performance-challenged networks, e.g. network measurements. - Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks. - Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks. - Robust network application design and implementation techniques. - Delay tolerant and disruption tolerant networks (DTN). - Situated and autonomic communications for challenged networks. - Handling user concerns in challenged networks such as usability, privacy, security and incentives to cooperate. Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as more general, philosophical position papers. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage in their development are favored over highly polished, journal-style results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, with impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept around 15 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on broader issues and community development. Paper Format and Submission: Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, double column, with no characters smaller than 10 point fonts. Papers will be reviewed single blind, which means be sure to include author information on the first page after the title and before the abstract. Papers that do not adhere to these requirements exactly (or attempt to cheat on spacing or fonts) will not be accepted for submission. Paper submission will be via EDAS. The exact URL will be posted by April 1, 2006. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 21 April 2006 Notification of Acceptance: 2 June 2006 Camera Ready Deadline: 16 June 2006 Workshop Date: 11-15 Sept 2006 Organizing Committee: Technical Program Co-chairs: Kevin Almeroth, UC-Santa Barbara Email: almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu James Scott, Intel Research Cambridge Email: james.w.scott(a)intel.com Program Committee Members: (Under Construction) Webmaster: Khaled Harras, UC-Santa Barbara ===================================================================== _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Preliminary CFP WMASH 2006 Datum: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 09:22:50 +0100 Von: Danilo Severina <severina(a)dit.unitn.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ============================================== Preliminary Call for Papers WMASH 2006 The Fourth ACM International Workshop on Wireless Mobile Applications and Services on WLAN Hotspots Los Angeles, California, USA September 23-29, 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 .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MLMD'06; Deadline extended to Feb 28 Datum: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 00:03:15 -0500 Von: Alhussein Abouzeid <hussein(a)ecse.rpi.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: abouzeid(a)ecse.rpi.edu *** Workshop on Multi-Layer Modelling and Design of Multi-Hop Wireless Networks (MLMD’06), to be held in conjunction with the 12th IEEE International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS'2006), July 12-15, 2006, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. *** Sponsored by: * The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. * The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing.The proceedings will be published by the IEEE, and available online on IEEE Xplore. Workshop Scope: This workshop will present and discuss recent results that capture the performance and design tradeoffs when multiple layers interact, as they do, in wireless multi-hop networks. The layered architecture view of networks has allowed various experts to work independently to optimize the performance at their level of abstraction. Wireless multi-hop networks have challenged the benefits of this approach, at least from a performance perspective. The fact that in most sensor networks the performance and purpose are tightly coupled with a physical phenomenon increases the coupling between the top and bottom layers of the reference network protocols stack. Furthermore, we are witnessing an increasing interest in terms of what the design of the Internet would be if we have the chance to do it all from scratch. Examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Joint optimization of multiple layers - Joint modelling and performance evaluation of multiple layers - Communication/computation methods and abstractions - Techniques and models of medium access, aggregation, routing, and compression that explicitly account for multiple layers - Designs leveraging recent technologies (e.g. software radio) and their performance - Designs allowing co-existence in crowded shared spectrum - Network reliability issues including quality of service - Multi-layer security in a distributed environment Technical Program Committee: Eylem Ekici Ohio State University, OH, USA Hesham Elgamal Ohio State University, OH, USA Martin Haenggi University of Notre Dame, IN, USA Ekram Hossain University of Manitoba, MB, Canada Koushik Kar Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NY, USA Ulas Kozat Docomo Labs, USA Bhaskar Krishnamachari University of Southern California, CA, USA Hussein Mouftah University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Tarek Saadawi City University of New York, NY, USA Biplab Sikdar Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NY, USA Ivan Stojmenovic University Of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Rajiv Vijayakumar University of Washington, WA, USA Yanyong Zhang Rutgers University, NJ, USA Rong Zheng University of Houston, TX, USA Workshop Chair: Alhussein Abouzeid Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 110 8th St, Troy, NY 12180 http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/homepages/abouzeid abouzeid(a)ecse.rpi.edu Location and Duration: This is a one day workshop.

Dynamic control of connection oriented networks entails the implementation of capabilities within the network for state information management, resource allocation, decision making, and action invocation. These capabilities are manifested through sophisticated control plane algorithms and protocols for path computation, routing, and signaling. Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)/Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) protocols have attained a high level of maturity to the extent that many network equipment vendors are now augmenting their products with MPLS and GMPLS software and major carriers are now providing mission critical MPLS-based IP VPN services as a cost-effective alternative to traditional point-to-point TDM private lines. At the same time, recent advancements in the area of MPLS and GMPLS control plane technologies have led to the proposition that it is possible to develop a unified control plane construct that can be used for different types of connection oriented networks, encompassing a broad range of switching technologies. Scope of contributions Original contributions of a tutorial nature are solicited that cover the topics including but not limited to: Novel architectures for MPLS and GMPLS networks Inter-domain routing and signaling Routing and signaling for heterogeneous paths Automatic discovery techniques Call and connection management Multi-layers protection and restoration Transport Protocols protocols for high speed connections Distributed versus centralized management solutions Security of control plane messages Pseudo-wire emulation Resource allocation in and contention resolution in multi-layer networks Integrated network control and management Control interconnection models Interfaces to dynamically controlled optical networks Intelligent network control middleware Multi-layer traffic engineering Control plane design Testbeds and field trials Schedule: Full article submission: April 1, 2006 Acceptance/rejection/revision: July 1, 2006 Revised manuscripts: August 1, 2006 Final manuscripts due: October 1, 2006 Publication date: December 2006 Submission of the 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.

Building on the successes of previous workshops, the objective of IWQoS 2006 is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in the area to discuss timely research results, and to identify future directions and challenges in developing practical computer/networking systems where predictable, controlled, and robust performance is a central requirement. The workshop's scope 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), where relevant technical issues include availability, reliability, security, pricing, incentive, resource management, and performance guarantees. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): o QoS in grid, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless mesh networks o QoS in large-scale distributed systems o System dependability, availability, resilience, and robustness o Security as a QoS parameter o Rationality, incentive, microeconomics, and self-interest in decentralized networks o QoS in wireless, mobile, ad hoc, and sensor networks o QoS specification, translation, and adaptation o Measurement-based QoS estimation and verification o QoS in intranets and VoIP systems We also solicit papers in the following areas: o QoS architectures and protocols o QoS analysis and modeling o Resource management and admission control o QoS routing o QoS pricing and billing o Evaluation metrics and methodologies for QoS o Content delivery networks with service/performance guarantees o QoS in web systems and storage systems o Programmability and language features supporting QoS o QoS in multimedia systems o Service Level Agreements and QoS o Server-side QoS and its roles in end-to-end QoS provisioning o QoS-aware middleware frameworks and services o Integrated and differentiated services in wide-area networks The workshop is a single track forum of two and a half days. It is cross-disciplinary and well focused, with an emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of the meeting time will be devoted to informal discussions. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions. BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD Award will be given at the conference to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student.

Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine, http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/cfpcommag0207.htm Special Issue on "Quality of Service based Routing Algorithms for Heterogeneous Networks" Background Currently, due to the growing needs in telecommunications (VoD, Video-Conference, VoIP, etc.) and the diversity of transported flows, Internet network does not meet the requirements of future integrated-service networks, which will carry out multimedia data traffic with a high Quality of Service (QoS). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high quality control mechanism to check the network traffic load and ensure QoS requirements. It's clear that the integration of these QoS parameters will increase the complexity of the algorithms used in heterogeneous networks. Thus, there will be QoS relevant technological challenges in today emerging heterogeneous networks that include different types of networks (e.g., wired, wireless, mobile, etc.). We shall focus in this special topic on QoS routing policies, and their effectiveness on heterogeneous wired and wireless networks. Thus, in this special issue, we are seeking papers that explore routing algorithms which take into account the dynamic's change of communication networks and discuss their advantages and drawbacks when compared to traditional solutions. Compared to the previous special issues on the integration of QoS, this issue will focus on a tutorial-based approach, and on the evolution of routing decisions applied in heterogeneous networks, which may include the load level traffic patterns and topology of the network changes, that the routing policy adapts the decision's router. Scope of Contributions Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance on all aspects of QoS routing policies and related areas with concrete experimental studies to show the validity of their approach. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but are not limited to : - Dynamic state-dependent routing policies - Quality of Service policies versus Best effort policies - Routing in hybrid Networks - Dynamic Routing in inband or outband network control protocols - Traffic shaping in QoS Routing - Policy-Based Management in QoS Routing - Ad hoc networking routing solutions for heterogenous wired and wireless networks - The role of dynamic routing in irregular traffic networks - QoS based routing and data gathering protocols for wireless sensor networks Submission Instructions 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.

Both the requirements and expectations from various perspectives (i.e., networking, middleware and application level) were presented and analyzed. NGNM05 held on May 2005, in conjunction with Networking 2005 conference in Waterloo, Canada, focused on the identification of composite business services running on an Internet middleware platform that allows enterprises/networking actors to publish the services they provide, use services available globally in a secure manner and automatically compile the various services descriptions into executable processes. The special issue on “Emerging Middleware for Next Generation Networks” of Computer Communications journal complemented the success of NGNM04 and NGNM05. NGNM06 targets to address the challenges of middleware platforms required for new generation mobile/wireless heterogeneous radio networks and services. Mobile/Wireless middleware is anticipated to increase the performance of applications running across potentially mixed wireless networks, to support multiple mobile/wireless devices, to provide continuous wireless access to content and services, to ensure end-to-end QoS and secure content and services delivery and to offer cross-system and cross-layer optimization taking into account issues related to usage behavior, mobility patterns, traffic profiling, network selection and relevant horizontal/vertical handovers. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished works as well as works on progress in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: · Middleware support for micro/macro/multi-domain mobility · Emerging Information Models and Frameworks (i.e., MPEG-21) · Specification and enforcement of QoS · Interworking between Heterogeneous Middleware Technologies · Self-managing networks (self-healing, self-optimizing, self-protecting and self-configuring) · Programmable, Active and Adaptive Networks · Wireless Grids Middleware · Grid-enabled Networking Middleware · Performance evaluation and modeling in Wireless/Mobile Middleware · Middleware support for cross-system and cross-layer optimization · Middleware security, including authentication and authorization *_Submissions _* The workshop welcomes original and review papers from academic and industry contributors dealing with the above or related issues. All submissions will be subjected to review by two reviewers. Papers should be up to 6000 words in English, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. To submit a paper, send an email to Prof. George Kormentzas (gkorm(a)aegean.gr), containing the title, the authors' names, e-mail and post addresses, phone and fax numbers, identification of the contact author, and attach to the same message your paper in DOC format.

Both the requirements and expectations from various perspectives (i.e., networking, middleware and application level) were presented and analyzed. NGNM05 held on May 2005, in conjunction with Networking 2005 conference in Waterloo, Canada, focused on the identification of composite business services running on an Internet middleware platform that allows enterprises/networking actors to publish the services they provide, use services available globally in a secure manner and automatically compile the various services descriptions into executable processes. The special issue on “Emerging Middleware for Next Generation Networks” of Computer Communications journal complemented the success of NGNM04 and NGNM05. NGNM06 targets to address the challenges of middleware platforms required for new generation mobile/wireless heterogeneous radio networks and services. Mobile/Wireless middleware is anticipated to increase the performance of applications running across potentially mixed wireless networks, to support multiple mobile/wireless devices, to provide continuous wireless access to content and services, to ensure end-to-end QoS and secure content and services delivery and to offer cross-system and cross-layer optimization taking into account issues related to usage behavior, mobility patterns, traffic profiling, network selection and relevant horizontal/vertical handovers. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished works as well as works on progress in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: · Middleware support for micro/macro/multi-domain mobility · Emerging Information Models and Frameworks (i.e., MPEG-21) · Specification and enforcement of QoS · Interworking between Heterogeneous Middleware Technologies · Self-managing networks (self-healing, self-optimizing, self-protecting and self-configuring) · Programmable, Active and Adaptive Networks · Wireless Grids Middleware · Grid-enabled Networking Middleware · Performance evaluation and modeling in Wireless/Mobile Middleware · Middleware support for cross-system and cross-layer optimization · Middleware security, including authentication and authorization _Submissions _ The workshop welcomes original and review papers from academic and industry contributors dealing with the above or related issues. All submissions will be subjected to review by two reviewers. Papers should be up to 6000 words in English, including bibliography and well-marked appendices.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Deadline fast approaching: special issue on "Inter-Vehicular Communications"]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Deadline fast approaching: special issue on "Inter-Vehicular Communications" Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2006 20:25:43 +0800 From: Daniel Wong <daniel_wong(a)ieee.org> To: manet(a)ietf.org, tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, itc(a)comsoc.org, SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)listserv.acm.org Sorry if you receive multiple copies of this CFP regards Daniel Wong ----------------------------------- Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Inter-Vehicular Communications" (pdf version of this CFP is available at http://www.3g-wireless.net/IVC-CFP.pdf) Wireless communications technologies (cellular phones, wireless LANs, etc.) have enabled many of the conveniences in our lives, and also increased our day by day productivity. Another area where there is much potential for wireless technologies to make a tremendous impact is the area of inter-vehicular communications (IVC). The field of IVC is also known as vehicle-to-vehicle communications (V2V) and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). There are numerous emerging applications that are unique to the vehicular setting. For example, safety applications would make driving safer; driver information services could intelligently inform drivers about congestion, businesses and services in the vicinity of the vehicle, and other news. Mobile commerce could extend to the realm of vehicles. Existing forms of entertainment may penetrate the vehicular domain, and new forms of entertainment may emerge, all supported by the inter-vehicular communications capabilities. These emerging services are currently not well supported. Numerous research challenges need to be addressed in order for inter-vehicular communications to be widely deployed. The combination of unique features of inter-vehicular applications and networking opens new opportunities for many interesting research areas. The communications networking between cars has different characteristics from other communications networking problems. For example, because of the rapidly changing topology as cars move around, there are similarities with ad hoc networking scenarios. However, the constraints and optimizations are different. Power efficiency is not as important for inter-vehicular communications as it is for traditional ad hoc networking, since vehicles have a powerful and rechargeable source of energy. Vehicles in general are also constrained to move within roads (and within lanes most of the time). The purpose of this special issue is to showcase the variety of research being conducted in IVC and survey the state-of-the-art in this field. We solicit original unpublished manuscripts not currently being considered elsewhere for publication. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • Service creation and management • Vehicular communications applications in general • Navigation safety applications • Content distribution to vehicles • Vehicle data collection and harvesting • Role of IVC in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) • Link and physical layer issues, algorithms and protocols • Cross-layer protocol design • Network architectures, system architectures • Inter-working of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications • Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc. • Vehicle movement simulation • Security for IVC • Network management for IVC • Mobility management Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Articles should have no more than 4,500 words, no more than 6 tables/figures, and no more than 15 references. Further submission guidelines are available online at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html . Please send PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to both Daniel Wong (daniel_wong(a)ieee.org) and Kemal Tepe (ktepe(a)uwindsor.ca) no later than 15 February 2006.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ACF-Members: CFP - SELF'06 Self-adaptability and self-management of context-aware systems Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2006 11:50:47 -0000 From: David Lewis <dave.lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> Reply-To: <Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> Organization: TCD To: <acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org> CC: <dave.lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> Another very relevant workshop! Apologies for any cross postings. Dave SELF - Self-adaptability and self-management of context-aware systems ===================================================================== SELF'06 (http://www.iaria.org/conferences/SELF.html) July 19-21, 2006 Silicon Valley, USA Published by: IEEE Computer Society Press Collocated with ICAS'06 (http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICSA06.html) Abstract submission: February 15, 2006 Abstract based acceptance: March 5, 2006 Registration and first draft: March 20, 2006 Camera-ready paper: April 15, 2006 (hard deadline) Call for Papers =============== GENERAL Pervasive services and mobile computing are emerging as the next computing paradigm in which infrastructure and services are seamlessly available anywhere, anytime, and in any format. This move to a mobile and pervasive environment raises new opportunities and demands on the underlying systems. In particular, they need to be adaptive, self-adaptive, and context-aware. Adaptive and self-management context-aware systems are difficult to create, they must be able to understand context information and dynamically change their behavior at runtime according to the context. Context information can include the user location, his preferences, his activities, the environmental conditions and the availability of computing and communication resources. Dynamic reconfiguration of the context-aware systems can generate inconsistencies as well as integrity problems, and combinatorial explosion of possible variants of these systems with a high degree of variability can introduce great complexity. All these points pose considerable technical challenges and make self-adaptable context-aware systems costly to implement. These technical challenges lead the context-aware system developers to use improved and new concepts for specifying and modeling these systems to ensure quality and to reduce the development effort and costs. This workshop focuses on the emerging methodologies that enable the design of context-aware computing systems, which usually operate in dynamically changing environments, focusing on adaptability and self-adaptability. It includes design of system architectures and infrastructures that are needed for managing and using context, how to model and represent self-adaptable contexts and how to model adaptive and self-adaptive systems. We also welcome people willing to present adaptive design systems that can be used as a basis for case studies to be expanded during the workshop to drive discussion. Depending on the number of submitted design systems, the afternoon will may be split into a small demo session followed by a design exercise session. For the design session, the attendees will be split into smaller groups, each group studying and proposing extensions to one of the presented system. TOPICS OF SPECIAL INTEREST (but not limited to) - Novel approaches to modeling and representing context adaptability, self-adaptability, and self-manageability - Models of computation for self-management context-aware systems - Use of MDA/MDD (Model Driven Architecture / Model Driven Development) for context-aware systems - Design methods for self-adaptable context-aware systems - Applications of advanced modeling languages to context self-adaptability - Methods for managing adding context to existing systems and context-conflict free systems - Architectures and middleware models for self-adaptable context-aware systems - Models of different adaptation and self-adaptation mechanisms (component-based adaptation approach, aspect oriented approach, etc.) - System stability in the presence of context inconsistency - Learning and self-adaptability of context-aware systems - Business considerations and organizational modeling of self-adaptable context-aware systems - Performance evaluation of self-adaptable context-aware systems - Scalability of self-adaptable context-aware systems INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE AUTHORS The SELF 2006 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and posted on IEEE Xplore. Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received papers will be acknowledged via the EDAS system. Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost.
