Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC'05) is to bring together researchers from different fields of research who are addressing aspects of self- management in computing systems. In doing so, we hope to develop and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self- optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. - Software architectures for self-managing systems, based on Open Grid Services, Web Services, or novel paradigms based on biological, economic, social, or other analogies. - Specific self-managing components, such as server, client, database, storage, or network elements. Emphasis should be placed on interactions with other components, or techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. - Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. - New technologies supporting system management, such as service-level agreements, negotiation or conversation support, and behavior enforcement. - System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self- managing systems, such as health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning. - Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, and techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. - Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, theoretical investigations of coupled feedback loops, predictive methods, robustness, and related topics. - Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS Full papers (up to 8 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the ICAC-05 review process. Posters are not subject to any of these restrictions. Authors should submit full papers or posters electronically (PDF or postscript) via the ICAC-05 conference web site at http://www.autonomic-conference.org and should use IEEE CS format.

March 14, 2005, Innsbruck Deadline for submissions: January 17, 2005 Organization and Program Committee Dietmar Fey, University of Jena Thomas Martinetz, Universität zu Lübeck Christian Müller-Schloer, Institute of Systems Engineering, University of Hannover Hartmut Schmeck, AIFB, University of Karlsruhe Theo Ungerer, Institute of Computer Science, University of Augsburg Rolf Würtz, Institut für Neuroinformatik, Ruhr University Bochum Organic Computing has emerged recently as a challenging vision for future information processing systems. Organic Computing is based on the insight that it won’t be long before we are surrounded by large collections of autonomous systems equipped with sensors and actuators to be aware of their environment, to communicate freely, and to organize themselves in order to perform the actions and services that seem to be required. This presence of networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct these systems - which we increasingly depend on - as robust, safe, flexible, and trustworthy as possible. In particular, a strong orientation of these systems towards human needs as opposed to a pure implementation of the technologically possible seems absolutely central. In order to achieve these goals, our technical systems will have to act more independently, flexibly, and autonomously, i.e. they will have to exhibit life-like properties. We call those systems "organic". Hence, an "Organic Computing System" is a technical system, which adapts dynamically to the current conditions of its environment. It will be self-organizing, selfconfiguring, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware. The vision of Organic Computing and its fundamental concepts arose independently in different research areas like Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Computer Engineering. Self-organizing systems have been studied for quite some time by mathematicians, sociologists, physicists, economists, and computer scientists, but so far almost exclusively based on strongly simplified artificial models. Central aspects of Organic Computing systems have been and will be inspired by an analysis of information processing in biological systems. It is the objective of this workshop to bring together computer scientists with researchers from neighboring disciplines – like physics, chemistry, economics, biology – to allow them to benefit from their knowledge in the fields of self-organization and emergence. This is an interdisciplinary workshop. This means that breadth and understandability beyond the own special interest group is highly encouraged. Invited topics include but are not limited to: - self-organization and emergent behavior (general) - complex adaptive systems - dissipative systems - self-organization in production and logistics - self-organization in biological systems - self-organization in nano structures - bio-inspired computing - artificial life - multi-agent systems and cellular automata - technical usage and controllability of emergence Paper Selection and Workshop Format Authors will be required to submit papers with a maximum of 10 pages until January 17, 2005. Extended abstracts (3 pages) are also welcome. Contributions (pdf format) should address the following topics: - Characterization of the project(s), main research goals and results, problem areas - Aspects of technical application and controllability - Self-organization and emergence as general phenomena: Communalities and differences Papers will be selected through a peer-review based on contribution to the overall topic, originality, and scientific value. All selected papers will be published in the workshop proceedings (and should be presented at the workshop). To maximize the outcome of the workshop there will be space for extensive discussions in small groups (2-4 people) and a wrapup phase at the end. The proposed preliminary timeline for the workshop is: 09:00 - 12:30 Presentations and discussion of the presented papers 13:30 - 15:00 Group discussions with specific questions 15:30 - 17:00 Presentation of group results and discussion of research directions and cooperations Deadline for submissions: January 17, 2005 Notification of acceptance/rejection: January 28, 2005 Camera-ready paper: February 11, 2005 Please send electronic submissions (in pdf) to: Dipl.-Ing.

Sophia Antipolis To: <members(a)ist-e-next.net> (Our oppologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) WiNMee Workshop --------------- http://www.winmee.org/ 1st workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (co-located with WiOpt 2005) April 3rd, 2005 Riva Del Garda, Trentino, Italy The area of wireless networking has attracted a lot of interest in the recent past. Nonetheless, evaluation of the performance of wireless networks and the solutions that are designed to address the identified issues is usually based on simulations. Only recently did researchers turn their attention to actual testbeds for similar tasks. Actual wireless testbeds are likely to prove very challenging environments to work with due to the unique properties of the wireless medium (in contrast to the well explored area of wired measurements and experimentation). The wireless medium is bound to behave differently depending on the location of the testbed and reproducibility of results is no longer a given. Lastly, solutions that have been previously proposed in the literature may be infeasible in an operational environment if they require changes in the network devices. As a result, effort has also been put into designing wireless hardware where researchers can gain access to functionality that is not typically exposed at the network driver level. In this workshop we would like to solicit short, 6 pages, papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. Topics include: * operational experience on the performance of wireless networks * challenges with wireless measurements * experimental (in)validation of usually made assumptions in a wireless environment * metrics that would be required in a wireless network for performance evaluation or wireless network troubleshooting * experience from building/designing wireless networks * description of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds (e.g. wireless link emulation) * techniques for scaling the testbed * techniques for improving the repeatability of tests * techniques for validating the results obtained in the wireless testbed * methods for simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * mobility pattern implementation Important Dates: ---------------- Submission deadline: December 17, 2004 Notification deadline: January 28, 2004 Camera-ready due: February 18, 2005 Workshop chairs: ---------------- Lakshman Krishnamurthy Intel Konstantina Papagiannaki Intel Research Cambridge Technical Program Committee: ---------------------------- Chadi Barakat INRIA, France Elizabeth M.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [iscc2005] Deadline Extension and Final Reminder - SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05) Date: Fri, 03 Dec 2004 11:55:36 +0100 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2005 In conjunction with the 25th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations. This first workshop intends to put together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2005 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [iscc2005] Deadline Extension and Final Reminder - SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05) Date: Fri, 03 Dec 2004 11:55:36 +0100 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2005 In conjunction with the 25th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations. This first workshop intends to put together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2005 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. Today, systematic application development support is lacking for the emerging wide spectrum of distributed systems ranging from ambient intelligence to global computing scenarios. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS'05 will focus on models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications within all kinds of computing environments. DAIS'05 is the fifth event in a series of successful international conferences, which started in 1997. DAIS'05 will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed computing. DAIS'05 will include talks by invited speakers, full technical paper sessions, and work-in-progress presentations. CONFERENCE THEMES In keeping with the focus on models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications, and in addition to its traditional themes, DAIS'05 especially encourages original unpublished papers addressing the following topics: - software architectures and frameworks for application reconfiguration and adaptation, - component frameworks (e.g. CORBA Components, EJB,.NET), - autonomous systems and architectures, - modelling, specifying, monitoring and management of context-aware and adaptive applications, - support for self-organisation and autonomic behaviour in distribution platforms, - application infrastructures for Service-oriented Architectures and Web Services, - application environments for specific technologies (e.g. GRID computing, mobile and wireless), - issues in enterprise-wide and large-scale application integration, model-driven development and testing, - application management and tuning, - development methodologies for ambient intelligence and sensor net applications, - semantic interoperability and semantic web services. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES DAIS'2005 seeks submissions for: - Full technical papers in no more than 12 pages (about 6000 words); - Work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim results in no more than 5 pages. All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted simulta- neously for publication elsewhere. They will be refereed by the Pro- gram Committee. Accepted full papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS series. Submission format: PDF using the Springer LNCS style. IMPORTANT DATES Full paper submission: February 1, 2005 Work-in-progress papers: February 15, 2005 Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2005 Camera ready version: April 7, 2005 Conference dates: June 15-17, 2005 VENUE & EVENT DAIS'05, organized by the Communications Network Laboratory of the University of Athens, will be held in Athens, Greece, colocated with the 7th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS'05).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [kuvs-lg] CfP: LoCA 2005 Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 13:54:22 +0100 From: Claudia Linnhoff-Popien <linnhoff(a)ifi.lmu.de> Reply-To: kuvs-lg(a)server01.comsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de To: fp6_qoc_mangement(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk, kuvs-lg(a)server01.comsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de International Workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness (LoCA 2005) in cooperation with Pervasive 2005 May 12-13, 2005 Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Germany http://loca2005.context-aware.org Call for Papers: The goal of this workshop is to address and discuss the technical challenges, ideas, views, and research results in sensing, fusing and distributing location information as well as providing location- and context-awareness to applications and services such as navigation in pervasive systems. The workshop is a platform to propose new positioning algorithms and location sensing techniques, including new techniques and studies into the properties of existing technologies. This includes enhancements of singular systems (e.g. positioning in cellular telephone networks such as GSM; positioning in WLAN environments; etc.) as well as hybrid systems (e.g. integration of Global Navigation Satellite Systems with Inertial Position Systems). Improvements in sensor technology, integration and sensor fusion may be addressed either on a theoretical or on an implementation level. The genesis of nearly all kinds of dynamic location information is mobility. Mobility - in all its facets (user mobility, device mobility, session mobility etc.) - requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, as well as discovery and execution frameworks for location-aware services. Thus we invite you to submit proposals and/or experience papers in the area of mobility and its mentioned adjacencies. Location is also one of the primary aspects (such as time, identity and activity) of all major context models. Context-awareness, a generalization of location-awareness, is another driver of the pervasive computing paradigm. Well designed context modeling and context retrieval approaches are key accessors to the context in any context-aware system. Thus we emphatically invite submissions dealing with issues of modeling and retrieval of context. This may also include integration aspects into service platforms and frameworks to provide location- and context-awareness to services. Personal and confidential data such as the location of the user stored on mobile devices and the location of the mobile device itself have profound implications for personal information privacy. Thus the area of protecting privacy, privacy-oriented location-aware systems, and how privacy affects the feasibility and usefulness of systems may be addressed. Example topics include privacy enablers in pervasive surveillance and sensing environments or location anonymity techniques. Scenarios and applications for location-aware computing may be surveyed and evaluated, including existing applications and aiming forwards future applications, to facilitate the deployment and everyday use of location-aware computing systems in workplaces, homes and public spaces. Submission Guidelines: Authors are requested to submit full papers in Adobe PDF format. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the international program committee and additional expert reviewers from relevant research communities. All paper submissions will be handled eletronically by the EDAS system. Note that submission is a two stage process - you will need to register your paper first and then submit the final manuscript. Authors without EDAS user names will be required to register with the system using the same link as above. The site will close for submissions at 03:00 EDT on 18 December 2004. All accepted papers will be contained in the workshop proceedings which will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer. Therefore submissions must conform to the LNCS LaTeX stylesheets. We solicit papers of up to 12 pages in LNCS style but explicitly welcome shorter papers for presentation of pointed results. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: 17 December 2004 Notification: 31 January 2005 Camera ready deadline: 28 February 2005 Workshop date: 12-13 May 2005 Workshop Chairs: Thomas Strang Claudia Linnhoff-Popien Technical Program Committee Members: Alessandro Acquisti, CMU (USA) Victor Bahl, Microsoft (USA) Christian Becker, Stuttgart University (Germany) Anind K.

If network mobility is not explicitly supported by some mechanisms, existing sessions break and connectivity to the global Internet is lost. A mobile network is composed of Mobile Router(s) (MR) and Mobile Network Nodes (MNN) that can be fixed or mobile. There has been rapid development in network mobility support, i.e., providing Internet connectivity to the networks that move using mobile routers since the inception of Mobile IPv4 in 1996. Seamless Internet access in public transportation such as in trains and busses can be possible if mobile routers are used. Cars with low-power sensors seamlessly connected to the Internet constitute yet another example of networks which move. To date, some airline companies announced Internet connectivity support during commercial flights and this trend is expected to accelerate and cover most if not all flights. This issue is focused on modeling, analysis, and simulation of network mobility support protocols. We solicit papers presenting original and unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics: * Modeling and Analysis of Network Mobility o Modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile router o Protocols for route optimization o Mobility issues inside a mobile network o Mobile IPv6 extensions for route optimization o Nested mobile networks o Multihomed mobile networks o Operational issues to deploy mobile networks o Auto-configuration for mobile networks o Mobile router support on cellular phone platforms * Services in the Networks that Move o Service advertisement and discovery protocols in networks that move o Specifications nad models of services for network mobility o Encryption and authentication in service access for network mobility * Security Issues in Network Mobility o Security analysis of present network mobility support protocols o Applications of AAA and EAP to network mobility o Interaction with security-enhanced modules in other layers (vertically) or other middle boxes (horizontally) Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors.

However, the promise of pervasive computing environments will not be realized unless these systems can effectively "disappear". In order to do that they need to become autonomous by managing their own evolution and configuration changes without explicit user or administrator action. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Architecture and models for autonomic communication and computing systems - Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic systems and networks - Adaptive security for self protection of systems and networks - Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic communications - Novel management techniques for autonomic communication and computing systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing systems and networks - Languages, development and securely programmable environments for autonomic communications systems - Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic communication and computing systems - Autonomic communication and computing testbeds and measurements SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF file and submit it to acc2005(a)autonomic-communication.org.

[Fwd: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05)]
by Lars Wolf 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05) Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 12:52:03 +0100 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2005 In conjunction with the 25th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart.

In order to avoid quality degradations caused by varying link rates, delay variations or cell updates, a streaming solution requires capabilities commonly referred to as > "> Adaptive Streaming> "> . > Adaptive Streaming means that during the streaming session the transmission link characteristic is monitored and the streaming server changes its behavior if needed. Reaction to changed link conditions can include a multitude of different techniques, e.g. adjusting the rate at which the server transmits packets (transmission rate control), deciding which packets of the pre-encoded content to send or drop (packet scheduling) or switching to a stream with a content bit rate better suited to the current available bandwidth of the wireless link (stream switching). Recently, adaptive streaming features are included into Release 6 of the 3GPP streaming standard PPS. However, concrete reactions of the streaming server to changed link conditions are out of the scope of PSS. > > The special session about "adaptive video streaming" should describe the current status of research within this area. Therefore, I would appreciate it very much if you could contribute to this special session with a proposal for a paper. > Your paper proposal should include the author names, paper title and a short abstract of around 100 words. Please send it to me until November 25th. I will forward it to the ICIP program committee for approval. Please note that a special session at ICIP contains a maximum of eight papers. > > Best regards, > > Markus Kampmann > > > Dr.-Ing.

Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations. This first workshop intends to put together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd IEEE Int'l Conf. on Autonomic Computing (ICAC'05) Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2004 21:53:28 -0500 (EST) From: Dongyan Xu <dxu(a)cs.purdue.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------- My sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC-05) Renaissance Seattle Hotel, Seattle, WA June 13-16, 2005 http://www.autonomic-conference.org To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale computer and software systems, they must manage themselves, in accordance with high-level guidance from humans - a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC'05) is to bring together researchers from different fields of research who are addressing aspects of self- management in computing systems. In doing so, we hope to develop and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self- optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. - Software architectures for self-managing systems, based on Open Grid Services, Web Services, or novel paradigms based on biological, economic, social, or other analogies. - Specific self-managing components, such as server, client, database, storage, or network elements. Emphasis should be placed on interactions with other components, or techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. - Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. - New technologies supporting system management, such as service-level agreements, negotiation or conversation support, and behavior enforcement. - System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self- managing systems, such as health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning. - Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, and techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. - Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, theoretical investigations of coupled feedback loops, predictive methods, robustness, and related topics. - Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS Full papers (up to 8 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the ICAC-05 review process. Posters are not subject to any of these restrictions. Authors should submit full papers or posters electronically (PDF or postscript) via the ICAC-05 conference web site at http://www.autonomic-conference.org and should use IEEE CS format. Appropriate style files can be found at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/. IMPORTANT DATES (TENTATIVE) Paper submissions: January 17, 2005 Author notification: February 28, 2005 Poster submissions: March 3, 2005 Final manuscripts due: April 1, 2005 Conference: June 17-18, 2005 INFORMATION AND INQUIRIES WWW: www.autonomic-conference.org E-mail: icac(a)caip.rutgers.edu DEMO AND EXHIBIT SESSION ICAC 2005 will feature a demo and exhibit session consisting of posters and technology artifacts (e.g., machines running autonomic software or demonstrations of autonomic computing principles). Entries will be solicited via a separate call for demonstrations and exhibits and entries will be judged by a separate subcommittee, headed by the exhibit chair. Please see the conference web site for more information.
