Their goal is to automate some or all of the tasks typically carried out by an administrator or management system. This concept takes the distributed management paradigm one step further by providing managed resources with a very high degree of autonomy. Self-managing systems will be able to detect failures or performance degradations, initiate diagnostic procedures, and carry out corrective actions on their own. Their ability to discover changes in the environment will enable Self-managing Systems to adapt and optimize their behavior. Self-management is particularly important for mobile systems, since mobile environments are highly dynamic and consist of a very large number of managed systems. This special issue will cover infrastructures, techniques, and methods that can be used to design, implement and deploy such self-managing systems. Topics of particular interest include: · Technologies, Frameworks, and Platforms for Self-managing Systems · Case Studies and Experiences with Self-managing Systems · Benchmarking and Evaluation of Self-managing Systems · Human interaction with Self-managing Systems · Self-healing Systems and Networks · Implementation and Integration of Self-managing Systems with standardized frameworks, management architectures and APIs (OSI/TMN, SNMP, CORBA, WBEM/CIM, JMX) · Application of Service-oriented Architectures (Web Services, Open Grid Services) to Self-managing Systems · Peer-to-peer Technologies for Self-Management Selection of contributions will be based on reviews of the papers submitted.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Elsevier Computer Networks Journal -Special Issue on Network Modeling and Simulation]
by Lars Wolf 09 Jun '04

09 Jun '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Elsevier Computer Networks Journal -Special Issue on Network Modeling and Simulation Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2004 11:49:22 -0500 (CDT) From: Jennifer Hou <jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: prkumar(a)control.csl.uiuc.edu, Harry Rudin <hrudin(a)smile.ch>, h.togt(a)elsevier.nl Call for Papers Special Issue on "Network Modeling and Simulation" Elsevier Computer Networks Journal Theme ===== The rapid proliferation and integration of computer and network systems have connected infrastructures to one another in a complex network of interdependence. In addition, network systems themselves are undergoing dramatic changes in the underlying technologies and services provided, in order to keep up with the growing demands from new applications and users. Scalable network modeling and simulation approaches that can analyze and predict network behavior with known accuracy, at varying time scales and for different network sizes and composition, have emerged to be important (and in some cases critical) techniques in designing, deploying, and managing such complex networks. Abnormal conditions such as congestion storms, network meltdown, and behavior of badly designed protocols and policies can be detected with analytically sound and scalable modeling and simulation tools and corrective actions can be designed and deployed accordingly. In the past few years, quite a number of new models of traffic, network, and control have been created that exploit fluid flow models, discrete event dynamical systems theory, stability theory, statistics and measurement, and approximation theory to solve the problem of capturing both wired and wireless network phenomena. These models, with varying levels of abstraction, have been incorporated to develop scalable network simulation techniques to expedite simulation of extremely large networks (of size >= 100K nodes), rendering more than an order of magnitude of performance improvement. These models have also been used to devise a wide spectrum of both passive and active measurement techniques so as to infer, with high accuracy, various network attributes and conditions. Moreover, all the models and techniques, along with an appropriate on-line network measurement methodology, have also provided a basis for on-line network control, dramatically reducing the time and cost required for functions such as parameter tuning, fielding new and situation specific protocols, and QoS provisioning. These techniques can also be harnessed to significantly improve the efficiency of network operational functions such as planning, service provisioning, and failure analysis. Topics of Interest ================== This special issue calls for articles that address the most recent technical advances in network modeling and simulation and its use in network measurement and control. Of particular interests are 1. Innovative models of traffic, network, and control. Manuscripts are sought that document innovative research on (i) the theory and the creation of models that characterize network traffic and/or network behavior over a broad range of network sizes and time scales; (ii) evaluation and validation of various models with respect to their analysis and prediction capability; and (iii) development of methods that establish conditions under which models are trustworthy. Also of interest is the development of models of control that can be deployed on top of a given network and traffic model. Control issues of interest include, but are not limited to: network and protocol parameter setting, distributed quality of service assignment based on priority, dynamic selection of protocols, and distributed implementation of control algorithms. 2. Scalable network simulation techniques. This technical area seeks for manuscripts that report fast simulation techniques that incorporate advances in various traffic/network models and scaling methods to expedite network simulation of extremely large scale. Of particular interest are all aspects concerning (i) the development and deployment of models that can be used to realize faster-than-real-time simulation, while not compromising its fidelity; and (ii) use of faster-than-real-time simulation techniques to provide feedback to network control. 3. Model-based active and passive network measurement. Challenges of network measurement research are to define and develop (i) sampling techniques to support model development as well as model validation; (ii) models that relate, with high accuracy, measurement results with network attributes; (iii) both active and/or passive measurement approaches that are non-intrusive and yet render high-fidelity results; and (iv) on-line mechanisms that leverage measurement results for network control. Publication Schedule ==================== Manuscript due: September 15, 2004 Acceptance notification: November 30, 2004 Final manuscript due: December 31, 2004 Expected publication date: Approximately April 2005 Submission Instruction ====================== Each submission should include a cover page with the title of paper, name and affiliation of all authors, name and contact address, fax, and email address of the corresponding author, a list of five key words, and a short abstract of maximum 200 words. Please send PDF (preferred) or postscript formatted papers to Jennifer C. Hou (jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu) according to the above timetable. All papers will be reviewed by experts for technical merit, correctness, relevance, and a clear exposition of English. Submissions must meet the following criteria: - A paper must be material that has not been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal. - Each submitted paper should be no longer than the equivalent of 25 double space pages excluding figures, graphs, and illustrations.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] PATHNets 2004 - Deadline approaching (June 15th) Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2004 18:42:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Murari Sridharan <murarisridharan(a)yahoo.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies. CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************************************** * 1st Workshop on Provisioning & Transport for Hybrid Networks (PATHNets) * * (co-located with BroadNets 2004) * * San Jose, CA, October 25 2004 * * * PATHNets 2004 * *********************************************************************************************** * http://www.pathnets.org <http://www.pathnets.org/> * * http://www.broadnets.org <http://www.broadnets.org/> * * */Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Communication Society */* *********************************************************************************************** SCOPE Whether it is image visualization, IP telephony, high-volume file transfers, or large-scale sciences like climate modeling, high-energy physics, and bioinformatics, these and other bandwidth-hungry applications are forcing us to re-think our current network theories and implementations. Today's network transport protocols are incapable of providing the network characteristics needed by large-scale applications. The highly flexible sharing relationships among geographically distributed computers are fundamentally changing the way we think about application development. Wide-area network infrastructure is evolving in such a way that our current network theories and implementations are being obsoleted. In the past and to some degree today, the wide-area infrastructure is primarily packet-switched with electronic signaling and switching. However, this infrastructure is rapidly changing, with high-speed optical routers interconnected within a circuit-switched optical core and with slower packet-switched networks in the periphery. The ubiquitous TCP protocol and its variants were originally designed and optimized for low speed transfers on shared networks where bandwidth is a critical and limited resource. To improve the transport performance on high bandwidth-delay product links, researchers have proposed many TCP variants like Scalable TCP, HighSpeed TCP, FAST TCP, etc. However, the current gigabits-per-second (peak) throughputs achie! ved using these variants are for short durations under heavily simulated conditions with manual parameter tuning. Large-scale applications require orders of magnitude more throughput to be available during the entire lifetime of the application! Recently the lambda-grid community has proposed a range of rate-based protocols like Reliable-Blast UDP (RBUDP) and SABUL which have performed better than TCP in general. However, it is not clear whether TCP-based protocols, non-TCP-based protocols, or a combination of both will be required for hybrid networks. How the protocol suite must evolve to the changing infrastructure and how network provisioning will be deployed in these hybrid networks will be the key networking issues over the next five to ten years. The PATHNets workshop invites original, unpublished, full papers that address research issues and real world case studies on the topics of interest that includes, but not limited to, the following: -Dynamic provisioning over a centrally-managed core vs. a distributed-managed core. -Real-time circuit set-up and scheduling algorithms. -Dynamic call admission and online reconfiguration techniques for hybrid networks -Transport protocols for a circuit-switched networks: TCP vs non-TCP. -Transport protocols for hybrid networks: TCP based vs non-TCP based, or a dynamic adaptation of both. -Heterogeneous routing and control algorithms that enable transport protocols to co-exist with an optical core. -Adaptation of transport protocols to operate over WANs spanning multiple medium types, e.g. optical and wireless, which can result in specific hops seeing higher error rates and subsequently, higher packet losses. -Design, architecture, and evaluation of provisioning systems. -Design, architecture, and evaluation of transport protocols. SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 20 double-spaced pages, including references, figures and tables. All submissions should be submitted electronically in Postscript or Adobe PDF format through the EDAS web site( http://edas.info ) <http://edas.info%20)/>Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.

An important attribute of such networks is that they can be deployed "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. Concepts like ambient intelligence and disappearing computers that are part of a global and fully self-organized Internet hint at the scope of this vision, but also at the formidable challenges that come with it. For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: o Architecture and Design o Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation o Internet integration o Social and economic aspects o Pervasive / ubiquitous computing o Localization and mobility management o Security o Energy-efficient protocols and power management o Applications and Service Support o Data dissemination and peer2peer systems PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================ Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. For paper submission, a web page with detailed information will be activated in few days. All papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by LNCS. IMPORTANT DEADLINES =================== - August 2nd, 2004: Submission deadline (hard) - September 29, 2004: Acceptance notification - October 18, 2004: Final version due VENUE ===== The meeting will take place in the famous winter resort of St. Moritz, in Switzerland.

Yarvis (mark.d.yarvis(a)intel.com) Intel Research and Development Intel Corporation, JF3-206 2111 N.E. 25th Ave. Hillsboro, OR 97124-5961 Subject Coverage Since people frequently work beyond their office desk, it is expected that the next generation of communication networks will include rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly and wirelessly without any networking infrastructure, such as the Internet or infrastructure-based wireless networks. Instead, users form mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). These networks are self-configurable and self-healable, and therefore easily adopted in a home environment and more cheaply deployed and maintained in a business environment. While ad hoc networks are rapidly gaining in popularity, group communication technologies have already shown their importance in education, entertainment, business, military, and other industries. However, thus far those technologies have mainly been designed for use in the Internet. This special journal issue is focused on development of group communication solutions in ad hoc networks. This work is significant to many interesting applications. Examples are strategic collaboration among soldiers in a battlefield, collaborative data processing such as tracking and localization in sensor networks, collaborative intrusion detection among a group of distant surveillance cameras, to name just a few. Also relevant to ad hoc networks is the concept of peer-to-peer (P2P). P2P networks are commonly used in the Internet to enable services that leverage a collection of peer nodes rather than a single infrastructure server, making them resilient to the failure of an individual node. These properties are attractive for applications deployed in ad hoc wireless networks, which have similar requirements. Research on group communications in ad hoc networks is still in its infancy. There are many open issues due to the deviation between resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service required by group communication services. Areas of interest for this special journal issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Ad hoc networking architectures with inherent P2P communication support - Use of P2P technology for ad hoc network formation and management - Multicast routing in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks - Algorithms for reliable delivery and congestion control in ad hoc networks - Location and mobility management in ad hoc group communications - Algorithms for self-configuration, maintenance, and stabilization - Data management, operating system, and middleware for ad hoc group communications - Security and privacy in ad hoc group communications - Collaborative multimedia systems in ad hoc networks - Collaborative signal processing and information retrieval in ad hoc networks - Innovative applications of group communication in ad hoc networks Paper Submission Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Please submit full papers in PDF via email to one of the guest editors. Submitted papers must not be previously published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers will not exceed 6000 words or 15 single spaced pages in IEEE Transactions style. Hard copies should only be sent if electronic submission is not possible. All manuscripts will be reviewed by a selected panel of referees.

On the other hand, in the academic research community and grid computing community, many networked computing infrastructures, such as Emulab and Planetlab, have been built and shared among research scientists to run various types of research experiments. Utility Computing (UC) is a paradigm that enables distributed resources (network, systems, applications, services) being provided to users on-demand and in a uniform manner. A utility infrastructure thus has to be dynamic, virtualized, secure and automated, in nature and operate on a wide range of resources. While the UC paradigm itself will very likely enable many exciting distributed applications over the Internet in the near future, technologies related to the management of networks, computing systems, and resources under utility computing systems must be carefully studied and examined. Therefore, this year's DSOM workshop will focus on infrastructure, techniques and methods that can be used to enable the paradigm of utility computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: · Management Architectures · Automation for enabling self-management, self-configuration, and policy-based management · Management Information Models · Use of service-oriented architectures (web services, grid services) for management · Provisioning/Maintaining the Performance and QoS Management · SLA and business-objective driven management · Security, Privacy, and Isolation · Fault Management and Fault Tolerance · Monitoring, event and fault handling · Closed-loop management · Configuration, Accounting, Billing · Experience with distributed Management of Systems, Applications, Networks · Inter-domain management · Adaptive Services and Applications · Transaction Monitoring and Management · Integration with Standardized frameworks, management APIs and models (CIM/WBEM, OSI/TMN, CORBA, SNMP, JMX etc) · Implementation, Instrumentation, and Experience Important Paper Deadline: Submission Now June 7th, 2004 Notification July 12, 2004 Camera ready Aug 5, 2004 Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

[ieee-cnom] Autonomic and architectures for MMNS 2004 (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 22 May '04

22 May '04

Call for Presentations for the two Application Sessions for MMNS 2004. This is patterned after the very successful Application Sessions done in NOMS 2004. The web links are: MMNS 2004: https://www.itsharenet.org/MMNS Application Sessions for MMNS 2004: https://www.itsharenet.org/MMNS/Application_Sessions Autonomic Session Chair: John Strassner Multimedia Architecture Session Chair: Raymond Liao CfP is below: This year, MMNS 2004 is introducing the concept of an "application session". These sessions focus on the management of multimedia networks and services from an industry and end-user perspective. Particular emphasis will be placed on the experiences of enterprises, Service Providers, vendors, and customers in the following two areas: * The move towards implementing network autonomics * New architectures and mechanisms to support mission critical or next generation wireless/multimedia systems and services The first session includes any and all work on making all components of the managed environment (e.g., network devices, applications, servers, middleware, and others) behave in an autonomic fashion. The second session includes any and all work on management and control architectures, and the mechanisms that they use, to support next generation wireless/multimedia systems and services. The application sessions therefore complement the main conference track, which is focused on theory and research results. Its aim is to help encourage discussions between academia and industry, and to emphasize the practical application and problems encountered when building and managing multimedia systems and services.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networked Entertainment - @ GLOBECOM 04]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networked Entertainment - @ GLOBECOM 04 Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 20:01:40 -0700 From: Giovanni Pau <gpau(a)cs.ucla.edu> To: gpau(a)CS.UCLA.EDU <gpau(a)cs.ucla.edu> Our Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies. 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 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. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process. The accepted papers will be published in the IEEE-sponsored workshop proceedings. Submission guidelines should be strictly followed. 1. Submit an electronic copy of the paper in a .pdf or .ps format through the EDAS paper submission site (hhtp://edas.info). 2. The body of the paper should not exceed 15 pages double spaced (4000 words, 12 point font) 3.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ACM MC2R special section on Discovery and Interaction of Mobil eServices Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 14:44:14 -0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: University of Guelph To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu 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.

Minden Conference Chair, IWAN 2004 The University of Kansas ==== IWAN 2004 Sixth Annual International Working Conference on Active Networks October 27-29, 2004 The University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS US CALL FOR PAPERS SCOPE: Active networking aims at providing easy, but robust, introduction of new network services to devices such as routers and switches by adding dynamic programmability to network equipment. Network programmability and service deployment architectures bring just the right services to the customer at just the right time and location. With the accelerating trend towards mobility, ad-hoc networks, and content-aware distribution, active and programmable networks will play an important role in future network architectures. IWAN 2004 brings together members of various communities using active and related techniques to address these challenges and provides a forum for discussion and collaboration involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover all aspects of active network based communication, including foundations of robust languages and security mechanisms, active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals, and active management. In addition, the meeting will focus on relating active techniques to customer needs and services. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results. However, we welcome high quality descriptive contributions where the ideas are particularly novel or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of others. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following active networking topics: --- Architectures and new concepts for Active Networks --- Standardization of frameworks --- Secure and robust network operation --- Formal descriptions, analysis, and methodologies --- Cognitive networks --- Design and development methodologies and tools --- Experiences and evaluation results --- Applications for systems and environments --- Service creation, deployment, and management --- Programmable network elements and devices --- Network processor platforms --- Hardware and software platforms for infrastructures --- Mobile and ad-hoc networking; mobile platforms; PDAs; software radios --- Content- and context-aware distribution INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS: Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 20 double-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length.

[Fwd: [CFP] Middleware for Pervasive Computing]
by Lars Wolf 13 May '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CFP] Middleware for Pervasive Computing Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 14:50:43 +0200 From: Christian Becker <christian.becker(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE (We apologize, if you receive multiple copies of this message) 2nd International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive and Ad-Hoc Computing http://www.smartlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/MPAC/ A Workshop of Middleware 2004 Toronto, Ontario, Canada October 18th - 22nd, 2004 Problem Space Building on the success of the 2003 workshop, this workshop seeks to develop, through establishing the state of the art, a roadmap for research on essential software infrastructures for ad-hoc and pervasive computing. Marc Weiser's dream is one of a world of pervasive devices, leveraging contextual information, to provide an increasingly interactive and responsive environment to users, to aid them in their everyday activities. However, despite considerable progress, the promise of pervasive computing outlined by Mark Weiser still remains elusive, with most developments focusing on point-examples of technology. There is a need for processing, storage and network infrastructure to support as well as development tools, in order to build large scale pervasive systems. We believe that central to these infrastructures are underpinning middleware technologies. In particular, that pervasive computing middleware will allow you to take advantage of the resources in your environment to tailor your services and applications for seamless access to services and unrestricted mobility. Ad-hoc networking middleware will permit the formation of ad-hoc communities for new applications. However, existing middleware technologies do not fully exploit the potential of such pervasive and ad-hoc environments. For instance, current ad hoc middleware technologies focus on the use of ad hoc networks as connection-ware to connect a single user to a single device for accessing its services or resources. In this workshop we focus on these core areas of middleware for ad-hoc and pervasive systems. We seek to compliment the discussion and presentations at Middleware 2004, by providing a forum focused on the specific problems of large scale, real world, pervasive computing environments through the identification of appropriate core architectures, languages, and systems. Moreover, we seek to develop a community of researchers who will specifically target the development of practical and sustainable pervasive environments and provide the key elements needed by future developers of large-scale pervasive environments. The workshop will seek papers on the areas, but not limited to, listed below: Theoretical foundations and middleware support for context based adaptation for mobile pervasive systems; New notations for specifying context-sensitive systems; Ad-hoc communities: applications, infrastructure and middlware support; Roles and responsibilities in ad-hoc communities; Group management and communication support for ad-hoc communities; Ad-hoc network communications, quality of service, management and middleware support; Sensor networks: applications, infrastructure and middleware support; Service-connection middleware and architectures; Support for zero configuration; Middleware for self-assembly, self-configuration, self-distribution; Data management infrastructure for adhoc and pervasive systems Trust, security, and privacy for pervasive systems; Technology trade-offs (agent infrastructures, mobile code systems, event based middleware); Resource discovery and management; Implications of heterogeneity (addressing needs for protocol interaction across technologies). Submission The workshop format will be focused around submission of position papers of no more than 8 pages. Papers are solicited that present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area and which then present a position on the how/what/why for the next stages and challenges for middleware technologies. 75% of the workshop will be devoted to presentation and discussion of these papers. The remaining 25% of time will be devoted to developing the outline of a roadmap and engaging all participants in the further writing and publication. Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the programme committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the veracity of the state-of-the-art statement and the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap. Appropriate publication of the workshop submissions and the roadmap is being investigated.

The realization of WSNs require intensive technical research efforts especially on energy efficient scalable wireless ad hoc communication protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique constraints. Additionally, WSNs are further evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems such that the tasks of event sensing and acting upon the phenomenon can be collectively realized in an autonomous manner by sensor and actuator nodes. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds ranging from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, and mobility support; gateways to fixed Internet; providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Source coding techniques appropriate for WSN to support data fusion * Middleware for WSN: Configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, distributed algorithms in WSN, harmonizing node-centric and data-centric addressing, integrating WSN in middleware architectures like .NET * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Applications of WSN: novel applications and their requirements such as medicine, environment control, etc.; experiences with real-world applications * What part will WSNs play in realizing the visions of ubiquitous computing & communication and Ambient Intelligence. * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds * Modeling of WSN: models for WSN load/applications, mobility or channel models For further information, please contact the co-chairs via: info(a)ewsn2005.org Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline: September 3, 2004 Notification of acceptance: December 6, 2004 Camera-ready version: December 24, 2004 EWSN 2005 Conference: January 31 - February 2, 2005 Submission Details: =================== The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] 2nd CFP: ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 09:44:47 +0300 From: Salkintzis Apostolis-Y1026C <salki(a)motorola.com> To: 'tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, Please find attached the 2nd CFP for a new special issue of Wireless Personal Communications Journal. My apologies if you receive this more than once. Best, --- Apostolis Salkintzis, Ph.D. Motorola E-mail: salki(a)motorola.com *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Wireless Personal Communications Journal* *<http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/>* ** *ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs* The recent evolution and successful deployment of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) worldwide has paved the way to more intense standardization and R&D activities, that target even more sophisticated and advanced WLAN/WPAN systems. Standardization activities within the IEEE 802.11 working group are already underway for evolving the dominant WLAN standard in several aspects, including security, mobility and quality of service (QoS. In addition, alternative physical and MAC layer proposals are being considered for improving bit rates to ranges in excess of 100 Mbps. Similar activities are taking placing within the ETSI BRAN project to further evolve the HIPERLAN/2 standard. At the same time, the core representative of WPANs, i.e. Bluetooth, is being further evolved by IEEE 802.15 TG1. Other task groups within IEEE 802.15 develop specifications for high- and low-rate WPANs, known as IEEE 802.15.3 and IEEE 802.15.4 respectively. Moreover, interworking mechanisms are being investigated for combining WLAN/WPANs and second-/third-generation cellular networks into hybrid data networks, capable of very high bit rates in strategic locations (hotspots). 3GPP is one notable standardization body that currently standardizes such interworking mechanisms. Last but not least, it is important to note the numerous research projects worldwide that address a vast collection of issues related to WLANs and WPANs, ranging from the seamless mobility across UTRAN and WLAN (see for example the IST EVOLUTE project at http://evolute.intranet.gr/) to heterogeneous multihop wireless networks consisting of combinations of WPAN and WLAN technologies (see for example the IST 6HOP project). All these activities combined with market forecasts, which report that WLANs and WPANs will encounter a tremendous growth in the next years, demonstrate that WLAN and WPAN technologies will play a significant role in the future and will severely impact our business and personal life styles. However, several issues still need to be efficiently addressed, including power consumption, physical and MAC layer architecture, radio resource management, interworking, QoS, security, co-existence with other unlicensed technologies, self configuration, etc. The goal of this special issue is to address the above issues and provide a timely and concise reference of the current activities and research findings in the fields of WLANs and WPANs. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these technologies. In this context, papers are solicited that describe original and unpublished contributions on representative topics, such as: * Authentication and Security in WLANs and WPANs * QoS and policy issues in WLANs/WPANs * Interworking between WLAN and WPAN technologies * WLANs and 2G/3G interworking * Emerging MAC protocols * Technologies for very-high-bit-rate WLANs * Mobility issues and mobility protocols * Support of multimedia over WLAN/WPAN * Multihop and ad hoc architectures * Applications tailored to WLANs/WPANs * Radio resource management techniques * WLANs/WPANs in 4G networks * WLANs/WPANs co-existence issues * Voice/video over WLANs and WPANs * Standardization activities * Performance studies * Self organization in WLAN networks * Management of large scale WLAN networks Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the Author Instructions available at_ <http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/>_. Authors should send an electronic version (in PDF or MS Word format) to Dr. Apostolis Salkintzis at_ salki(a)motorola.com_ according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: August 1, 2004 Acceptance Notification: November 1, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: January 15, 2005 Publication Date: 2^nd Quarter 2005 *Guest Editors* ** Dr. Apostolis K.

hier ist einmal ein CfP mit einer richtig langen Vorlaufzeit -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Journal of Network and System Management Call for Papers Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 11:45:25 -0400 From: Bush, Stephen F (Research) <bushsf(a)research.ge.com> To: 'tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear Colleagues, Below please find a call-for-papers for a JSNM Special Issue on Active and Programmable Networks. Draft manuscripts are due Mar 30, 2005 with Notification of Acceptance by May 31, 2005. Stephen F. Bush and Shivkumar Kalyanaraman, co-editors ------------------------------------------------------------ ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT Special Issue on Management of Active and Programmable Networks Manuscript due March 30, 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------ Active networks provide a framework enabling code and data to reside within network packets such that injected code can modify behavior of low-level network layers. Programmable networks allow customization o data-plane and control-plane services (e.g.: using network processor methods in high- speed routers or software radio methods in wireless networks). This raises fundamental management issues regarding the relation and tradeoffs among communication and computation, configuration, fault, security, performance, and accounting management. AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS and SOFTWARE RADIOS are being facilitated by the advancement of active networks; however, they add another level of complexity to active and programmable network management. The relationship between computation and communication can be addressed by concepts from algorithmic information theory (e.g.: Kolmogorov- Chaitin Complexity). Active and programmable networks form an ideal environment in which to study the effects of tradeoffs in algorithmic and static information representation. Active code can contain either the protocol or a compressed form of the data to be transported. Other divisions of code and state are possible between packets (e.g.: routers with dynamic packet state and customizable data-plane code). ------------------------------------------------------------ This special issue of the Journal of Network and Systems Management will consider topics associated with the management of active and programmable networks. Submissions will span a broad range of topics, e.g.: * Bridging the gap among the large and growing body of work in algorithmic information theory and applications to the health, management, and security of an active or programmable network * Fundamental relationships between computation and communication applied to active or programmable networks; relationship of code vs. data tradeoffs utilized to control access of information, system vulnerability detection, policy enforcement, etc. within an active or programmable network * Self-organization and composition of active network services; self-configuration of active or programmable networks * Case studies involving the management of dynamic adaptation and performance enabled by active networks * Active or programmable networks used to manage and control mobile ad hoc network operation and legacy networks * Active or programmable network management of QoS: controlled amounts of code vs. data that adapt to link quality * Management of active packets in constrained devices such as sensors * Active and programmable network management techniques applied to link and physical layer network components e.g. software radio waveforms * Improvement or replacement of defacto management standard access and control such as SNMP with active or programmable mechanisms ------------------------------------------------------------ Instructions to Contributors: Authors are invited to submit papers for peer-review to the guest editors. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Please prepare the manuscripts in single-column, double- spaced format and submit Word, PDF, or Postscript files. ------------------------------------------------------------ Guest Editors: Dr. Stephen F.
