-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] [Final CFP]: ACM MC2R Special Section on 'Discovery and Interaction of Mobile Services' Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2004 11:48:17 -0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: University of Guelph To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu FINALL CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Special Section on Discovery and Interaction of Mobile Services With Guest Editor Qusay H. Mahmoud Department of Computing & Information Science University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, N1G 2W1 Canada qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca Mobile services are mobile/wireless computing applications and services that can be either pushed to user's handheld wireless devices (push mobile services) or downloaded and installed, over the air (pull mobile services). In order to use such services, users of wireless devices need to locate them; they can be located on remote servers or even on peers' devices in a mobile ad hoc setting (or MANET). Therefore, one of the fundamental challenges is the discovery of relevant services in mobile ad hoc networks, but more importantly, selecting a suitable service and interacting with it to accomplish a useful task. Several available service discovery protocols are not suitable for MANETs simply because they have been designed for infrastructure-based networks. In addition, such protocols offer no location-based and context-aware selection mechanisms, and feature minimal interaction models that are not suited for wireless devices with limited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. The aim of this special section is to present most recent research findings on "discovery and interaction of mobile services". We are seeking papers that address discovery, selection, and interaction issues of mobile services. Submissions must be original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: - Discovery protocols for mobile services - Selection and interaction techniques - Security and privacy issues in discovery protocols - Location-dependent and/or context-aware service discovery mechanisms - XML/SOAP for discovery protocols - Lightweight discovery protocols - Agents-based discovery, selection, and interaction - Performance evaluation of discovery protocols Publication Schedule -------------------- Papers are due: August 1, 2004 Notifications: October 1, 2004 Final papers: November 15, 2004 Publication: First available issue (January or April 2005) Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors should email an electronic copy (PDF only) of their papers to Qusay H. Mahmoud, qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca, by August 1, 2004. Submissions should be no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiCom 2004, Student Posters Session Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2004 01:31:04 -0400 (EDT) From: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu The deadline for poster proposals submission is approaching! (July 19 2004.) (Apologies if you receive this announcement multiple times.) ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiCom 2004, the Tenth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, will be held from September 26 to October 1 2004, in beautiful, historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. MobiCom is the premier international forum focusing on all areas of mobile computing and mobile and wireless networking at the link layer and above. Technical paper submission and selection for MobiCom 2004 is now complete, but if you are a student working on MobiCom topics of interest, it is not too late to present your work at the conference, since MobiCom 2004 solicits posters for the Student Poster Session. *** STUDENT POSTER SESSION *** MobiCom 2004 solicits student posters that present recent and on-going research by students on mobile computing and mobile and wireless networking topics. Presenting a poster at MobiCom is a great chance for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on their on-going work from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. Poster proposals should be a maximum of 2 pages in length. Although posters do not need to describe completed work, the work should be advanced beyond the initial stages. The primary author of all poster submissions must be a student. Poster abstracts will not be published in the conference proceedings but will be published on the web before the conference.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers IISW'04 Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 15:27:58 +0200 (CEST) From: Calin Curescu <calcu(a)ida.liu.se> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the program committee for the International Infrastructure Survivability Workshop (IISW04) to be held in conjunction with the 25th IEEE Real-time Systems Symposium, we would like to invite you to consider the workshop for a paper submission. Selected papers from the workshop will be published in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures (IJCIS), and reviewed by three members of the distinguished program committee. Submission deadline: 4th September. For more details please refer to: www.ida.liu.se/~calcu/iisw04 Regards, Simin Nadjm-Tehrani and Calin Curescu Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies. CALL FOR PAPERS: International Infrastructure Survivability Workshop (IISW'04) """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Overloads, Attacks and Failures: the Trade-off against Time To be held in conjunction with the 25th IEEE International Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS04) December 5-8, 2004 Lisbon, Portugal SCOPE: Society today is increasingly dependent on critical infrastructures that constitute the backbone for delivery of its essential services. Many critical services such as power supplies, public transport, telecommunications, banking and finance, and defence will be increasingly relying on information infrastructures, not only for management and control but also for monitoring outages and recovery. Combinations of wireless and ad hoc networks with fixed networks are becoming a reality in many domains. Traditional solutions in dependable systems build in robustness at the production stage. Using redundancy, feedback mechanisms, and careful sensitivity analysis the system is shown to stay in its characterised operational profile and shows graceful degradation when components fail. In today's networked infrastructures it is more difficult to achieve these goals due to the following developments: * New infrastructures are built as partial overlays with old infrastructures making the emerging system of systems irregular in its architecture. * Introduction of new services, emerging trends and deregulation contribute to unbalancing phenomena: operational conditions may change abruptly creating traffic/flow patterns not foreseen by operators. * Prevalence of software brings with it the weaknesses of COTS, making systems more susceptible to "normal" failures and malicious attempts to bring down a service. * Tomorrow's networked systems will have to face the challenge of survivability: delivering critical services in a timely manner in presence of overloads, attacks and failures. In this workshop we intend to bring together research that addresses the above issues by incorporating metrics that represent the use of scarce resources, reflecting timing performance, anticipating outages and mobilising system reconfigurations to stall outages or recover from partial failures. Practical experience reports are highly encouraged. Papers that describe original unpublished work are solicited and selected papers will be published in a special issue of the International Journal on Critical Infrastructures (IJCIS). The topics of interest cover, but are not limited to, the following areas: * Models and architectures for network survivability * Network fault-tolerance: wireless networks, sensor networks, IP networks * Interoperability between hybrid wireline/wireless networks * Fraud and intrusion Detection, Prediction, and Countermeasures * Survivable architectures for e-commerce * Security and availability of web services * Support for QoS * Adaptive systems theory and practice * Quality metrics in open systems * Availability/Performance trade-offs * Security/Performance trade-offs * Case studies and experimental studies WORKSHOP CHAIR: Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, Linköping University, Sweden, simin(a)ida.liu.se ORGANISATION CHAIR: Calin Curescu, Linköping University, Sweden, calcu(a)ida.liu.se Program Committee: Calin Curescu, Linköping University, Sweden Marc Dacier, Eurécom, France Teresa A.

[ieee-cnom] The 1st IFIP TC6 WG6.6 on Autonomic Communications (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

Carlos Please distribute in CNOM list Raouf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- The 1st IFIP TC6 WG6.6 Workshop on Autonomic Communication (WAC 2004) Autonomic Communication Principles 18-19 October 2004 in Berlin, Germany http://www.autonomic-communication.org/wac/ Call For Papers Scope The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss the principles of Autonomic Communication (AC) - a new communication paradigm to assist the design of the Next Generation Networks (NGN). This workshop explicitly focuses on the grounding principles to achieve purposeful behavior on top of self-organization (self-management, self-healing, self-awareness, etc.). Papers are solicited that study network element's autonomic behavior exposed by innovative (cross-layer optimized, context-aware, and securely programmable) protocol stack in its interaction with numerous often-dynamic network groups and communities. The goals are to understand how autonomic behaviors are learned, influenced or changed, and how, in turn, these affect other elements, groups and the network. The self-organized Internet will be able to sense its environment, to perceive these changes and to understand the meaning of these changes, thus facilitating new ways to perform network control, management, middle box communication, service creation, etc. This will be based on universal and fine-grained multiplexing of numerous policies, rules and events which are done autonomously but facilitate desired behavior of groups of network elements. Though the primary application domain is the Internet, papers addressing autonomic communication principles for mission critical distributed systems are also welcome. The emphasis of the event is on long-term research agenda with broad interdisciplinary approach to explore concurrently multiple paradigm spaces. Along with invited papers and a panel the conference will offer possibility for technical papers and position statements. Papers are solicited on at least the following topics: * Policy-based communication and policy multiplexing in NGN * Group communication for control and management plane * Designing evolvable next generation networks * Self-organisation for NGN re-configurability * Management of nomadicity * Large AC testbeds * AC calculi * Modelling and analysis of AC systems * Theoretical foundations of autonomic network control * Mobile code and network programmability for AC * Generic network-level service composition at run-time * Context handling within AC * Theoretical foundations of rule-based systems; * Security, immunity and resilience of AC * Applied AC (QoS, traffic engineering, routing, etc.); WAC 2004 is technically co-sponsored by IFIP TC6 WG6.6 and will be organized by the FP6 project "Autonomic Communication: Coordination Action" of Future and Emerging Technologies program of the IST. Communication Paradigms for 2020 IST Program Future and Emerging Technologies plans to launch a long-term research (proactive initiative) in the area of novel communication paradigms; it will address high-level visionary and risky research of fundamental nature and shall explore its limits and opportunities in increasingly important areas of economical and social development in Europe. Autonomic Communication addresses these challenges from a network-centric technological viewpoint to enable true ambient intelligence and I-centric communication scenarios. Information for Authors Submissions will be subject to at least three peer reviews and should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 12 single-spaced pages or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 100-word abstract, and list of keywords. The author responsible for correspondence should be identified, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Authors are requested to follow the LNCS's guidelines. One of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at WAC '2004. Address for Submissions Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF, or in Postscript formats to the following address: wac(a)autonomic-communication.org Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and distributed after the event.

[ieee-cnom] Final CFP: 2nd Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing 2004 (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

Apologies in case of duplicated messages. MGC2004 - 2nd International Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing in conjunction with the 5th International Middleware Conference 2004 Toronto, Ontario, Canada - October 18th, 2004 http://mgc2004.lncc.br =========== Final CALL FOR PAPERS =========== Extended submission deadline: July 17th, 2004 Submit using ACM style to minimize the effort in generating the camera ready version. History: The first edition of this workshop (MGC2003) was held on June 17th 2003, in conjunction with the Middleware Conference, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. MGC2003 saw a good combination of the many different flavors in Middleware for Grid Computing, with 16 technical presentations and discussions on several stimulating topics including, among the others, Classic Grids, object oriented technologies, Service- based Grids, Open grid Service Architecture, Agent Grid, Interactive Grid, Grid Economy / Scheduling, and Portlets. After the event, extended and thoroughly revised versions of the papers were invited to a Special Issue of Concurrency and Computation Practice and Experience Journal - Vol.16 N.5 2004. The first workshop generated substantial interest in the community and we hope to build on this tradition this year. Far from exhausting the topics of interest, MGC2003 paved the way for a second edition of the workshop, that will continue the most interesting and stimulating topics emerged last year, and also include some novel issues. Description: Much of the focus of Grid until recently has been within research organizations. Currently the involvement of commercial organization has increased tremendously. That leads to a greater focus on integration with commercial computing models and more work on the security and resource management models required for automated and secure access negotiation for remote resources. In order to control such a broad base of resources, Grid Computing has a middleware layer which controls the distributed execution of applications. In this Workshop we would encourage researchers from the various GRID middleware communities to submit and present original work for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: Classic Grid Middleware Object Oriented technologies or Component Middleware WSRF/OGSA/Web services Grid Middleware Architectures Grid Services Grid Middleware Security Resource Management and Scheduling Strategies and protocols for obtaining QoS Semantic Grid Middleware Managing Information in Grid Middleware Grid Object Metadata and Schemas Programming Models, Tools, and Environments Performance Evaluation and Modeling Evolution of and experiences with Grid systems Wireless Grids Data Grid Middleware Dependability and Fault Tolerance in Grids Virtualization in Grids Paper Submission: The Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 4-6 single-spaced pages of text using 10 point size type on A4 paper. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All selected papers for are peer-reviewed and will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Selected (extended) papers will be invited to a special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience Journal for 2005. Some papers may be selected to be presented as posters. Electronic only submission.

CfP: WAC 2004
by Lars Wolf 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

The 1st IFIP TC6 WG6.6 Workshop on Autonomic Communication (WAC 2004) Autonomic Communication Principles 18-19 October 2004 in Berlin, Germany http://www.autonomic-communication.org/wac/ Call For Papers Scope The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss the principles of Autonomic Communication (AC) - a new communication paradigm to assist the design of the Next Generation Networks (NGN). This workshop explicitly focuses on the grounding principles to achieve purposeful behavior on top of self-organization (self-management, self-healing, self-awareness, etc.). Papers are solicited that study network element's autonomic behavior exposed by innovative (cross-layer optimized, context-aware, and securely programmable) protocol stack in its interaction with numerous often-dynamic network groups and communities. The goals are to understand how autonomic behaviors are learned, influenced or changed, and how, in turn, these affect other elements, groups and the network. The self-organized Internet will be able to sense its environment, to perceive these changes and to understand the meaning of these changes, thus facilitating new ways to perform network control, management, middle box communication, service creation, etc. This will be based on universal and fine-grained multiplexing of numerous policies, rules and events which are done autonomously but facilitate desired behavior of groups of network elements. Though the primary application domain is the Internet, papers addressing autonomic communication principles for mission critical distributed systems are also welcome. The emphasis of the event is on long-term research agenda with broad interdisciplinary approach to explore concurrently multiple paradigm spaces. Along with invited papers and a panel the conference will offer possibility for technical papers and position statements. Papers are solicited on at least the following topics: * Policy-based communication and policy multiplexing in NGN * Group communication for control and management plane * Designing evolvable next generation networks * Self-organisation for NGN re-configurability * Management of nomadicity * Large AC testbeds * AC calculi * Modelling and analysis of AC systems * Theoretical foundations of autonomic network control * Mobile code and network programmability for AC * Generic network-level service composition at run-time * Context handling within AC * Theoretical foundations of rule-based systems; * Security, immunity and resilience of AC * Applied AC (QoS, traffic engineering, routing, etc.); WAC 2004 is technically co-sponsored by IFIP TC6 WG6.6 and will be organized by the FP6 project "Autonomic Communication: Coordination Action" of Future and Emerging Technologies program of the IST. Communication Paradigms for 2020 IST Program Future and Emerging Technologies plans to launch a long-term research (proactive initiative) in the area of novel communication paradigms; it will address high-level visionary and risky research of fundamental nature and shall explore its limits and opportunities in increasingly important areas of economical and social development in Europe. Autonomic Communication addresses these challenges from a network-centric technological viewpoint to enable true ambient intelligence and I-centric communication scenarios. Information for Authors Submissions will be subject to at least three peer reviews and should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 12 single-spaced pages or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 100-word abstract, and list of keywords. The author responsible for correspondence should be identified, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Authors are requested to follow the LNCS's guidelines. One of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at WAC '2004. Address for Submissions Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF, or in Postscript formats to the following address: wac(a)autonomic-communication.org Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and distributed after the event.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP-- Special Journal Issue on Towards Ubiquitous Wireless Communication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks]
by Lars Wolf 18 Jun '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP-- Special Journal Issue on Towards Ubiquitous Wireless Communication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2004 20:56:16 -0400 From: Nidal Nasser <nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing (IJWMC) https://www.inderscience.com Special Issue on Towards Ubiquitous Wireless Communication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Guest Editors Nidal Nasser and Hossam Hassanein Telecommunications Research Laboratory School of Computing, Queen's University Kingston, ON, Canada K7L 3N6 nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:Nasser@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~nasser/ hossam(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:hossam@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~hossam/ ================================================================================ Theme: Future wireless networks will generally be characterized by heterogeneity in architecture, protocols and air interfaces. The wireless networking scene is dominated by two distinct networking platforms: (a) cellular networks, which passed through multiple generations -1G, 2G and 3G, and (b) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) championed by the IEEE 802.11 networks. Recent trends indicate that 3G networks and WLANs will co-exist to offer public wireless broadband services to end users. The two platforms offer characteristics that complement each other perfectly. The 3G cellular systems such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Code Division Multiple Access (cdma2000) will support real-time and non-real-time multimedia services with data rates from 144 kb/s to 2 Mb/s with wide coverage and nearly universal roaming. However, the costs of acquiring the necessary radio spectrum and the required network equipment upgrades are very high. This is in contrast to WLAN systems such as IEEE 802.11 a/b/g, which provide affordable services and bit rates surpassing those of 3G systems, up to 11 Mb/s with 802.11b and 54 Mb/s with 802.11a/g. However, the coverage offered by WLANs is quit limited and lacks roaming support. The complementary characteristics of 3G cellular systems (slow, wide coverage) and WLAN (fast, limited coverage) make it attractive to integrate these two technologies to provide ubiquitous wireless access. The purpose of integrating 3G systems and WLANs is to make it possible to use the best parts of both systems. High bandwidth WLANs are used for data transfer where available and 3G systems can be used where WLAN coverage is lacking. Development and standardization efforts are currently underway for defining suitable architectures for 3G/WLAN integration. However, designing a network architecture that efficiently integrates 3G systems and WLAN is a challenge task that needs a lot of research efforts. In this special issue, we intend to publish a collection of high quality papers by world leading researchers that present state-of-the-art research in the area of 3G/WLAN integration. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Mobility management 2. Seamless vertical handoff techniques between 3G and WLAN 3. Location management techniques 4. Architecture design scenarios for integrating 3G and WLAN systems 5. Network selection criteria 6. Bandwidth adaptation 7. Consistent quality of service across 3G and WLAN 8. Adaptive quality of service provisioning 9. Performance evaluation studies 10. Pricing and Billing Issues 11. Standardization activities Paper Submission: Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed 25 double spaced pages with reasonable margins and a font size of no less than 11pt, including figures and references, and should include an abstract, not to exceed 250 words. Papers should be submitted in PDF or Microsoft Word format by e-mail to 3GWLAN(a)cs.queensu.ca. Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. All papers will be peer reviewed. Schedule: Submission deadline: *October 20, 2004* Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2004 Submission of final revised manuscript: February 28, 2005 Expected date for publication: Third quarter of 2005 ============================================================== For further details information please refer to the CFP at: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~trl/ijwmc ============================================================== _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

Please Note the EXTENDED DEADLINES. Regards Giovanni Pau, Marco Roccetti & S.S. Lee CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'04) http://nime04.csr.unibo.it/nime04 GLOBECOM 2004 - Satellite Workshop November 29th 2004 Dallas, TX, USA EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE June 25th 2004 ============================== The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. Many of the technologies pioneered in emerging entertainment applications have also found use in a large spectrum of more serious settings, ranging from telemedicine to in-home, in-car, in-flight multimedia distribution platforms. The success of the entertainment technology is confirmed by several facts. Take, for example, the two following cases: in 2003 the revenues generated by games have yet again surpassed those provided by the movie industry; the Apple iTunes online music service has hit a record share of almost 20% in the MP3 player market in the last semester of 2003. Further, while in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences (e.g., video on demand), continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. Simply put, today's entertainment technology is able to create "entertainment spaces" in which people experience a world where games, movies, songs, plus news, sport events and shows, are all made available for instant enjoyment with just one click. Another beneficial aspect of high-tech entertainment is that this phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, however, only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a "large interactive environment" for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless Internet (along with its protocols, architectures, programming styles and technological solutions) may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The first IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on Next-Generation Multimedia Networking concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Networked Technologies for Entertainment: - Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games - Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session - Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...) - Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for Entertainment - Media and Device Adaptation - Music and Movie Distribution - Next Generation Wireless Technologies for Entertainment (IEEE802.11n, UWB and Beyond) - Opportunistic Multi-hopping and Opportunistic Networks for Entertainment - QoS and Security Support for Entertainment - Resource and Service Discovery Technologies (P2P, LDAP, ...) - Technologies for Networked In-Home/Car/Flight/Train Entertainment - TV-Centric and Broadcast Networks for Entertainment Emerging Entertainment Applications: - Agent-based Entertainment - Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality - Evolutionary Entertainment - Field Trials - Interactive Television and Theater - Massive Multiplayer Games - Mobile and Wireless Entertainment - Networked Entertainment - Networked Narrative and Digital Interactive Storytelling - Networked Video, Music and Sound Design - Pervasive Entertainment - Personalized and User-Adapted Television - Sport, News and Entertainment - Virtual Technology and Virtual Environments for Entertainment - Wearable Entertainment - Wireless and Mobile Gaming - Testbed and Performance Evaluations Guidelines for Paper Submission Original papers from the above mentioned topics or related areas will be considered.

CALL FOR PAPERS Computer Communications Special Issue: Monitoring and Measurements of IP Networks Guest Editors: Raouf Boutaba (rboutaba(a)uwaterloo.ca), University of Waterloo, Canada Ehab Al-Shaer (ehab(a)cs.depaul.edu), DePaul University, USA Kevin Almeroth (almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu), UC-Santa Barbara, USA Important Dates: Deadline for submissions: September 1 2004 Notification of acceptance: February 2005 Final papers due: April 2005 Publication: Summer 2005 The measurement of IP network performance has been the subject of a significant amount of recent research. The ultimate goal is to provide Internet service providers, as well as end-users, sufficient understanding of end-to-end network performance characteristics, routing behavior and network anomalies. This understanding is important for developing new network models, protocols, and resource optimization required to assure an acceptable quality of service. However, the ever changing traffic mix in the Internet, the appearance of peer-to-peer applications, and the increasing demand for mobility represent new challenges for IP performance management. Performance measurement involves a number of steps including monitoring, sampling, filtering, and analyzing data on-line/off-line and from many local/remote points. This special issue is seeking original and unpublished contributions addressing issues related to IP performance monitoring and analysis for enterprise networks and the Internet. Of particular interest are novel monitoring and measurement techniques that improve the state-of-the-art in data collection; experiments that collect, analyze, and make available data for use by other researchers; and analysis of data collected from local or wide area networks that give insights into Internet behavior. Examples of selected topics include but are not limited to: . IP measurements and monitoring . Measurement methods, tools and infrastructures . Measuring voice and video performance over IP . Traffic engineering and measurement of traffic matrices . Workload characterization and traffic analysis . Web, peer-to-peer and overlay networks measurements . Active and passive measurement techniques . Design of monitoring systems . Path measurements and filtering . Measurements of mobility and grid services . Sampling and filtering techniques . Network/Internet topology discovery . SLA and Quality of Service monitoring . Network security attack analysis . Experimental test beds and results . Reassessment of previous measurement findings SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Guidelines on formatting the paper are given at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom. Authors are invited to submit full original papers in electronic form (PDF or postscript) to one of the guest editors.

For different access technologies, the Internet has been taken as the unifying framework for interconnectivity and inherent mobility and resource management functionalities. Recently, serious attention has been given extending and utilizing Internet connectivity and QoS for ad hoc networks. Naturally, paradigm QoS techniques (IntServ & RSVP, DiffServ, MPLS) cannot be readily applied to ad hoc networks. Hence the need for QoS techniques compatible with traditional Internet QoS while maintaining realistic considerations for the characterstics of ad hoc networks. Call for Papers Scope In a wireless ad hoc network hosts are brought together to form a network on the fly. Inherently, there is a lack for QoS-aware protocols. Currently, two operational quality of service (QoS) models are proposed for the Internet: Integrated Services (IntServ) aided with Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ). The IntServ model aims to guarantee the QoS in a manner of end-to-end fine granularity, but its scalability is impaired by the need to maintain per-flow state at each core router. The DiffServ model attempts to resolve the scalability problem by replacing the per-flow service with an aggregate-class, per hop service, while pushing the per- flow state management to edge routers . Extending such QoS paradigms to wireless ad hoc networks is an important step towards achieving all-IP networking. A major challenge facing the extension of Internet QoS models over ad hoc networks is the very characteristic of such networks: a) Variable topology, resulting from nodal mobility in addition to the unreliable link properties caused by frequent packet collisions and signal interference and fading; b) Limited battery power and c) Device heterogeneity, in terms of platform, processing, mobility and battery power. We seek papers addressing Intserv and DiffServ compatible QoS in wireless ad hoc networks. Papers should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Topics of Intrest Include, but are not limited to: QoS admission control Adaptive QoS Bandwidth reservation schemes RSVP extensions to ad hoc networks Queue management and scheduling algorithms Extensions to DiffServ Per hop behavior Wireless MPLS Resource adaptation and system optimization for multimedia services Dynamic bandwidth management QoS-aware medium access protocols IEEE 802.11 QoS extensions Power-aware techniques and protocols Cross-layer designs TCP extensions Mobility management Delay and jitter management Congestion and flow control Performance evaluation Implementation and test-bed experiments Important Dates Paper submission: July 26, 2004 Author notification: Sept 10, 2004 Final manuscript due: September 30, 2004 Program Co-Chairs Hossam Hassanein (Queen's University, hossam(a)cs.queensu.ca) Ahmed Kamal (Iowa Statue University, kamal(a)iastate.edu) Technical Program Committee Mokhtar Aboelaze (York University) Azzedine Boukerche (University of Ottawa) Raouf Boutaba (University of Waterloo) Luciano Bononi(University of Bologna) Torsten Braun (University of Bern) Tracy Camp (Colorado School of Mines) Jorge Cobb (The University of Texas at Dallas) Ehab Elmallah (University of Alberta) Khaled Elsayed (Cairo University) Mohamed Eltoweissy (Virginia Tech) Matthias Frank (University of Bonn) Muhammad Jaseemuddin (Ryerson University) Salil Kanhere (University of New South Wales) Jelena Misic (University of Manitoba) Asis Nasipuri (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) Nidal Nasser (Queen's University) Ioanis Nikolaidis (University of Alberta) Golden G.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 03 Jun 2004 19:16:02 -0300 From: Bruno Schulze <schulze(a)lncc.br> Cc: radha Nandkumar <radha(a)ncsa.uiuc.edu> Subject: CFP: MGC 2004 - July 10th Could you please distributed on e-lists. Regards, MGC 2004 co-chairs MGC2004 - 2nd International Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing in conjunction with the 5th International Middleware Conference 2004 Toronto, Ontario, Canada - October 18th, 2004 http://mgc2004.lncc.br =========== CALL FOR PAPERS =========== History: The first edition of this workshop (MGC2003) was held on June 17th 2003, in conjunction with the Middleware Conference, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. MGC2003 saw a good combination of the many different flavors in Middleware for Grid Computing, with 16 technical presentations and discussions on several stimulating topics including, among the others, Classic Grids, object oriented technologies, Service- based Grids, Open grid Service Architecture, Agent Grid, Interactive Grid, Grid Economy / Scheduling, and Portlets. After the event, extended and thoroughly revised versions of the papers were invited to a Special Issue of Concurrency and Computation Practice and Experience Journal - Vol.16 N.5 2004. The first workshop generated substantial interest in the community and we hope to build on this tradition this year. Far from exhausting the topics of interest, MGC2003 paved the way for a second edition of the workshop, that will continue the most interesting and stimulating topics emerged last year, and also include some novel issues. Description: Much of the focus of Grid until recently has been within research organizations. Currently the involvement of commercial organization has increased tremendously. That leads to a greater focus on integration with commercial computing models and more work on the security and resource management models required for automated and secure access negotiation for remote resources. In order to control such a broad base of resources, Grid Computing has a middleware layer which controls the distributed execution of applications. In this Workshop we would encourage researchers from the various GRID middleware communities to submit and present original work for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: Classic Grid Middleware Object Oriented technologies or Component Middleware WSRF/OGSA/Web services Grid Middleware Architectures Grid Services Grid Middleware Security Resource Management and Scheduling Strategies and protocols for obtaining QoS Semantic Grid Middleware Managing Information in Grid Middleware Grid Object Metadata and Schemas Programming Models, Tools, and Environments Performance Evaluation and Modeling Evolution of and experiences with Grid systems Wireless Grids Data Grid Middleware Dependability and Fault Tolerance in Grids Virtualization in Grids Paper Submission: The Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 4-6 single-spaced pages of text using 10 point size type on A4 paper. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All selected papers for are peer-reviewed and will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Selected (extended) papers will be invited to a special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience Journal for 2005. Some papers may be selected to be presented as posters. Electronic only submission.
