-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley ETT special issue Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 18:10:19 +0200 (CEST) From: Christian Bettstetter <Christian.Bettstetter(a)ei.tum.de> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers European Transactions on Telecommunications (Wiley) *Special Issue on Self-Organization in Mobile Networking* http://kom.aau.dk/~ff/documents/cfp-ett-so.html http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jhome/104087069 Current systems for mobile communication, such as GSM, UMTS, and IEEE 802.11, require manual configuration and central management both for deployment and operation. Such a paradigm will not be feasible any longer in a future world of ubiquitous networking, where wireless technologies will interconnect a tremendous number of everyday items and embedded devices (e.g., electronic papers, sensors). An important design aspect for future systems is to limit the administrative requirements, thus reducing the network deployment time, cutting the operational costs, and facilitating network management. In this context, the term "self-organizing communication networks" has been in the mind of researchers for some decades. During the last few years, the term has mainly been used to describe the nature of wireless multihop networks, so-called ad hoc networks. Although ad hoc networks are expected to play an important role in future systems, self-organization is more than "just" multihop communication. We invite original technical articles on self-organization in cellular, IP, ad hoc, and sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Principles, paradigms, and building blocks for self-organization in mobile networks - Application of concepts for self-organization from natural and social sciences - Protocols and algorithms for self-organization of mobile networks, in particular for medium access control, resource management (radio, energy), clustering, routing, transport, and service discovery - Mobility and topology issues - Scalability issues - Applications, services, and middleware - Security, cooperation, and fairness Submission Instructions: Papers should have a length of no more than 15 pages (using 11 point font and about 35 lines per page). Please submit the paper electronically in PDF using the EDAS platform (http://edas.info). All submitted papers must not have been previously published and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere while they are under consideration. The following deadlines will apply: - Submission of manuscripts August 31, 2004 - Notification of acceptance October 30, 2004 - Submission of final manuscript December 15, 2004 - Publication March/April 2005 (Issue No. 2) Guest Editors - Christian Bettstetter, DoCoMo Euro-Labs, Germany - Frank Fitzek, Aalborg Univ., Denmark - Hannes Hartenstein, University of Karlsruhe, Germany - Guy Pujolle, University Paris VI, France - Paolo Santi, CNR, IIT, Pisa, Italy Note: Papers for which a major revision is recommended will not be accepted for the special issue, but will be considered for publication in revised form in one of the regular issues of ETT. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

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. Original artwork and a signed copy of the copyright release form will be required for all accepted papers. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

A single-track conference, MMNS will provide participants with an intimate setting for discussion and debate. MMNS has established itself as a premier conference for research and innovation in management of emerging multimedia technology and networking services. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from industry and academia researching and developing state-of-the-art management systems, while creating a public venue for results dissemination and intellectual collaboration. The demand for real-time services, integrated multimedia communications and mobile application services thrives in today's consumer and corporate market. The need to evolve management tools and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobility and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, data/voice convergence and the integration of computing and communication in all devices. Concepts such as autonomics, self-healing, self-organized and adaptive computing systems are bringing both the academic and industry research communities together to address the challenges of managing complexity and systems problems, where management is inevitably key. MMNS broadly solicits research in network and service management and new models, architectures and designs in technology and services to enable multimedia proliferation. This year, MMNS 2004 will continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, but also emphasize and solicit novel research in network autonomics and new architectures in wireless systems and multimedia services to facilitate security, quality of service and mobility. The MMNS program committee is soliciting original papers describing research in the area of management of multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): . Network autonomics & autonomous systems . Adaptive computing systems . Wireless and mobile multimedia network management . Ad-hoc and Sensor networks . Distributed multimedia service management .

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. M oreover, 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/>.

Rolim Guest Editors). ------------ 2nd CFP follows ---------------------- AlgoSensors 04: First International Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks July 16 2004, Turku, Finland To be held in conjunction with ICALP 2004 http://ru1.cti.gr/algosensors04/ SCOPE Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have become a very important research subject due to their potential of providing diverse services to numerous applications. The realization of sensor networks requires intensive technical research and development efforts especially in power aware scalable wireless ad hoc communications protocols due to their unusual application requirements and constraints. On the other hand, a solid theoretical background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is an algorithmic challenge to achieve efficient and robust realizations of such large, highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networking environments. Features including the huge number of sensor devices involved, the severe power, computational and memory limitations, their dense deployment and frequent failures, pose new design, analysis and implementation challenges. This workshop is intended to provide a forum for researchers and practicioners to present their contributions related to all aspects of sensor networks. TOPICS Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including but not limited to: * Modeling of specific sensor networks * Methods for ad hoc deployment * Algorithms for sensor localization and tracking of mobile users * Dynamic sensor networks * Hierarchical clustering architectures * Attribute-based named nets * Routing: implosion issues and resource management * Communication protocols * Media acess control in sensor networks * Simulators for sensor networks * Sensor architecture * Energy issues WORKSHOP and PC CHAIRS Sotiris Nikoletseas, U. of Patras and CTI Jose Rolim, U. of Geneva PROGRAM COMMITTEE Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology Azzedine Boukerche, U. of Ottawa Deborah Estrin, UCLA Afonso Ferreira, CNRS, I3S & Inria Sophia Antipolis Alfredo Ferro, U. of Catania Wendi Heinzelman, U. of Rochester Chalermek Intanagonwiwat, Chulalongkorn U., Thailand Elias Koutsoupias, U. of Athens Bhaskar Krishnamachari, U. of Southern California Stefano Leonardi, U. of Rome "La Sapienza" Sotiris Nikoletseas (Co-Chair), U. of Patras and CTI Viktor Prasanna, U. of Southern California Jose Rolim (Co-Chair), U. of Geneva Peter Sanders, Max Planck Institute for CS Maria Serna, T.U. of Catalonia Christian Schindelhauer, U. of Paderborn Paul Spirakis, U. of Patras and CTI Peter Triantafilloy, U. of Patras Eli Upfal, Brown U.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: SIG MM Retreat Report; Multimedia 2004 Deadlines and Video/Art Programs Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2004 16:17:47 -0500 From: Vernick, Michael David (Michael) <vernick(a)AVAYA.COM> Reply-To: Vernick, Michael David (Michael) <vernick(a)AVAYA.COM> To: SIGMM-MEMBERS(a)ACM.ORG Greetings from the ACM Multimedia committee. Included in this email are the following: * ACM SIG Multimedia Strategic Retreat Comprehensive Report * Multimedia 2004 Conference - Submission deadlines - Call for Video Submissions - New Conference Addition: Interactive Art Program See the web site for more information: http://www.mm2004.org --------------------------- ACM SIG Multimedia Strategic Retreat Comprehensive Report The ACM Special Interest Group on Multimedia (SIGMM) was created ten years ago. Since that time, researchers have solved a number of important problems related to media processing, multimedia databases, and distributed multimedia applications. Discussions at the annual SIGMM conference ACM Multimedia 2001 (MM'01) in Ottawa, Canada suggested it was time for senior members of the research community to meet and discuss the future of multimedia research. Some members of the community believed that multimedia research was addressing narrow topics with limited impact rather than addressing major problems that will have wider impact on technology for real and emerging applications. A strategic retreat was organized as part of MM'03 to assess the current state of multimedia research and suggest directions for future research. Twenty-six researchers from academia and industry participated in the two day retreat organized by Professors Lawrence A. Rowe and Ramesh Jain who are the past and current SIGMM Chairs. The executive summary of the retreat can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigmm/main/events/sigmm_retreat/ The final retreat report on Future Directions of Multimedia Research can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigmm/ --------------------------- SUBMISSION DEADLINES FOR MULTIMEDIA 2004 April 5, 2004 - Interactive art program submission deadline April 15, 2004 - Full papers submission deadline at 5 pm EDT April 30, 2004 - Panels submission deadline May 3, 2004 - Exhibition submission deadline June 1, 2004 - Tutorials, short papers, open software, video program, interactive art program, short papers, technical demonstrations, doctoral symposium submission deadline Notification of acceptance for Panels July 1, 2004 - Notification of acceptance for full papers July 7, 2004 - Notification of acceptance for exhibition and short papers --------------------------- Multimedia 2004: CALL FOR PAPERS: INTERACTIVE ART PROGRAM and EXHIBITION Interactive Art Program: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4interactiveartprogram.htm Exhibition: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4artexhibit.htm This year's new Interactive Art Program will bring together the arts and multimedia communities to create the stage to explore, discuss, and push the limits for the advancement of both multimedia technology through the arts, and the arts through multimedia technology. The Interactive Art Program will consist of two technical tracks and an exhibition. We invite RESEARCHERS in technical areas and ARTISTS working with digital media to submit their original contributions to the following tracks: (1) TOOLS FOR CREATING MULTIMEDIA ART: performance, immersive, narrative, multi-modal, networked art, etc. The emphasis is on novel technical tools developed specifically for the creation of multimedia art in any form. We particularly encourage submission of tools in new and emerging areas. (2) TOOLS DEVELOPED BY ARTISTS IN THE CREATION OF MULTIMEDIA ARTWORKS: will describe the process and technical details of the creation of artistic works that have required either the development of new multimedia tools, or novel uses of currently available multimedia tools. Artists that develop their own tools are strongly encouraged to submit their work to this track. (3) MULTIMEDIA ART EXHIBITION: "Digital Boundaries: Multiculturalism, Identity, and Awareness". We seek art works that, using multimedia, explore issues of cultural identity, cultural awareness, and the boundaries created or enforced through the use of multimedia technology. The emphasis for the exhibition is on interactive art works that realize powerful artistic concepts using multimedia content and technologies (exhibition statement at the end of this message). Awards will be given to submissions in all three tracks, placing particular emphasis on the most innovative use of multimedia technology. The conference and exhibition will be held at Columbia University in New York City. IMPORTANT DATES April 5, 2004 Full papers deadline. May 3, 2004 Exhibition submission deadline. June 1, 2004 Short papers submission deadline July 1, 2004 Notification of acceptance for full papers. July 20, 2004 Camera-ready papers due More information at: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4interactiveartprogram.htm -------------------------- Multimedia 2004: CALL FOR VIDEO SUBMISSIONS We'd like to encourage you to make a video for ACM Multimedia 2004. Video is a great way to present work that is best understood by example. Video also makes it possible to demonstrate your tool, system, application or brave new idea without having to bring the equipment for a "live" demo. Even if you've never made a video before, please consider this new opportunity for Video Submissions at ACM Multimedia 2004. VIDEO SUBMISSIONS CATEGORIES There are three categories of video submissions: * Video figures (3 minutes) - accompanies a regular or short paper submission and serves as an illustration * Video demonstrations (8 minutes) - gives a self-explanatory demo of a tool, system, or application. In addition we would like to encourage media artists to submit work that exemplifies new trends in video art or describes an interactive multimedia art application. * Video vision (8 minutes) - describes a new brave idea of multimedia technology Videos in the categories demonstration and vision need to be accompanied with a 2 page description of the video content using the ACM template. The descriptions of the selected videos will become part of the conference proceedings. Videos will be published on a dedicated web site either in the ACM Digital Library or at the SIGMM website. Accepted videos will be presented in the video session during the conference. The best video demonstration and video vision will get a special podium. The format for videos is MPEG-2, although we will accept VHS submissions. More information on video submissions can be found on the ACM Multimedia 2004 Web page http://www.mm2004.org/ IMPORTANT DATES June 1st, 2004 Submission deadline July 1st, 2004 Notification of acceptance July 20th, 2004 Camera Ready Copy of Video Description August 20th, 2004 Video Final Version Questions? Send e-mail to: mailto:Frank.Nack@cwi.nl More information at: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4video.htm ------------------------ *NOTE* - Colleagues can subscribe by sending a message with 'SUBSCRIBE' in the subject line to acmsigmm(a)fastmail.fm. ------------------------

[Fwd: [Tccc] Four SIGCOMM 2004 Workshops CALL FOR PAPERS]
by Lars Wolf 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Four SIGCOMM 2004 Workshops CALL FOR PAPERS Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 13:23:38 -0600 From: Chris Edmondson-Yurkanan <chris(a)cs.utexas.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS This year, SIGCOMM continues its expanded scope with significant emphasis on workshops. We solicit papers and participation in the following four one-day workshops. 1. Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture (FDNA-04) 2. Workshop on Practice and Theory of Incentives and Game Theory in Networked Systems (PINS) 3. Network Troubleshooting: Research, Theory and Operations Practice Meet Malfunctioning Reality 4. NetGames-04 These workshops will be held with SIGCOMM'04 to be held from August 30 - September 3, 2004 in Portland, Oregon, US. For a detailed description of the workshops and submission guidelines, visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2004/workshops.html (And look for a Workshop flyer at Infocom 2004.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture (FDNA-04) Paper submission deadline: April 30, 2004. The architecture of a network specifies the essential principles that guide its design, especially its service and control interfaces, its partitioning into functional components, the interaction amongst these functional components, and the engineering of its protocols and algorithms. Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. The current Internet architecture has scaled beyond the wildest dreams of its designers. However, it has a number of significant problems when employed to fulfill service requirements or when applied to some classes of networks for which it was not originally designed. In recent years, several attempts have been made to work around these problems. These range from simple address partitioning (NAT), various proposed changes to the routing and naming infrastructure (ad-hoc, name-based routing, store-and-forward, overlay networks, capabilities for enhanced security, etc) to the use of alternative network architectures such as those proposed for mass-scale sensor networks, networks of mobile wireless devices, and high-delay inter-planetary networks. This call solicits papers on two broad topics: (a) Architectural limitations of the current Internet and techniques to overcome these limitations; and (b) Descriptions of and innovative architectures for new classes of networks. Submissions ranging from presentations of specific research to more general, philosophical position papers are welcome. Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Practice and Theory of Incentives and Game Theory in Networked Systems (PINS) Paper submission deadline: April 19, 2004 Traditional system design assumes that all participants behave according to the intentions of the system architects. In reality, computer networks are heterogeneous, dynamic and distributed environments managed by multiple administrative authorities and shared by users with different and competing interests. Recently, there has been growing interest in using tools from Game Theory (GT) and Mechanism Design (MD) to tackle incentive-related problems in these complex environments. For these methods to be successful in practical networked systems, it is vital to understand and incorporate realistic models and constraints for such central system properties as player types and strategies, scalability, asynchronicity, observability, verification, and frequency & time scale of interactions. The goal of this workshop is to promote an exchange of ideas on the true applicability, range and validity of game-theoretic and economic models for analysis and design of Internet and Internet-based systems. The workshop solicits technical or position papers of two types: (1) Incentives in Practice: Papers that focus on practicality and realistic applications of Game Theory to networked systems; and (2) Models & theoretical results for networked systems: Papers that assess the applicability of specific models and/or results in Game theory and Mechanism Design to distributed and networked systems, or outline new approaches to analyzing these problems. Submissions should be no more than 8 pages in length with 10pt fonts or larger. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Network Troubleshooting: Research, Theory and Operations Practice Meet Malfunctioning Reality Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2004 Network monitoring and measurement has received a great deal of attention in the research community recently. This workshop endeavors to focus on finding problems, failures and anomalies in networks. The workshop seeks papers exploring several themes: (1) Detection: Mechanisms and techniques for detecting failures, imminent failures and other anomalies in real time. (2) Correction: While detecting problems (or imminent problems) and alerting network operators is a good first step, techniques for automatically mitigating problems as they occur are also sought. (3) Coordination: Detecting and solving problems in a multi-provider environment inevitably involves communicating between distinct autonomous entities. Mechanisms and facilities to streamline and automate such communication are sought. (4) Experience: Insight from network operators into network problems they cannot easily detect (or, detect far too late) and tools that would make network management much easier. Input from network operators on non-obvious or non-technical considerations which impact technical solutions are also sought. This workshop invites two kinds of submissions: (1) Original papers on any area of network measurement, monitoring or management specifically directed towards one or more of the above themes. (2) Poster presentation proposals. While posters on any of the above themes will be accepted, posters on operational experience are highly sought. Submissions ranging from presentations of specific research to position papers are welcome. Papers presenting interesting and novel ideas at an early stage of development are preferred over completed journal-style results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, with impact and implications for both operational networks and ongoing or future research. Original papers should be 3-6 standard SIGCOMM formatted pages (with the expectation that position papers will be shorter and research papers longer). Poster proposals should be sent in the form of 1-page abstracts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NetGames'04 Submission deadline: April 16, 2004 The NetGames workshop is an attempt to bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry to present new research in understanding networked gaming systems. Submissions are sought in any area related to networked games. The areas of interest include (but are not limited to) game-specific research in: Network measurement and modeling; system benchmarking and provisioning; latency issues and lag compensation techniques; cheat detection and prevention; service platforms, architectures, and middleware; protocol design; mobile and resource-constrained gaming; augmented physical gaming systems; user and usability studies; quality of service and content adaptation; security, authentication, and accounting. We solicit submissions of full papers (12 pages) and short papers (6 page) (single-spaced, double column, 11pt font). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Chris Edmondson-Yurkanan TAY 4.136; +1 512 471 9546 Fax: 471 8885 The University of Texas at Austin Email addresses are: chris(a)cs.utexas.edu Computer Sciences Department or for fun: dragon(a)cs.utexas.edu 1 University Station C0500 URL: www.cs.utexas.edu/users/chris/ Austin, TX 78712-0233 Fedex: please send to Taylor Hall 2.124 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CfP: Workshop Algorithms and Protocols for Efficient Peer-to-Peer Applications Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 10:13:42 +0100 From: Thomas Fuhrmann <fuhrmann(a)TM.UKA.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 *** Apologies if you receive multiple copies *** *** Please distribute the call to interested parties *** CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on ALGORITHMS AND PROTOCOLS FOR EFFICIENT PEER-TO-PEER APPLICATIONS as part of the GI-Conference INFORMATIK 2004 in Ulm, Germany (see http://www.informatik2004.de/index.php?id=workshops for details) SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST Peer-to-peer protocols and applications have drawn much attention recently. Especially file-sharing applications like Gnutella, Kazaa, and e-Donkey have become very popular. But other areas in the field of communication networks and distributed systems have also begun to use peer-to-peer concepts. Meanwhile, peer-to-peer protocols are used in quite diverse areas, such as multicast streaming of multimedia content, distributed databases, instant messaging services, and grid-computing middleware. However, as diverse as the applications are the algorithms and protocols that are based on peer-to-peer concepts. In order to achieve efficient, scalable solutions, it is thus especially important to support the respective application with a suitable peer-to-peer approach. Following the overall motto of the conference “Informatik verbindet”, this workshop aims at bringing together researchers from all areas of informatics and computer science to discuss how the diversity of peer-to-peer protocols and algorithms can be leveraged to create efficient and scalable solutions for all kinds of distributed systems. We expect this workshop to be of interest for researchers from both, academic institutions and industry. The participants may either have a peer-to-peer networking background themselves, or have an interest in the application of peer-to-peer technology to other areas of distributed systems. Topics of interest include (non-exhaustive list): * lessons learned from deploying real-world P2P protocols * evolution of P2P file sharing protocols/state-of-the-art P2P file sharing techniques * trust, security, anonymity, and accounting: special focus on P2P in open environments * performance evaluation of P2P applications using different underlying P2P protocols * tools and frameworks for P2P protocol and application development * incentives for using the P2P approach in systems like distributed databases and grid computing middleware * challenges faced and benefits gained when turning traditional client-server applications into P2P applications * P2P grid computing: tackling platform heterogeneity and code mobility * trends and advances in P2P application development * examples of modern P2P applications from diverse research areas * free-riding and other non-technical aspects with using P2P applications and any further topic promoting the common understanding of and research efforts in performance related issues of P2P protocols and applications. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The workshop will cover one day. Currently, it is scheduled for Thursday, 23.09. but the organizers of the Informatik 2004 event might shift it to another day of that week. Please note the following deadlines: Submission deadline: 30 April 2004 Notification about acceptance/rejection: 28 May 2004 Deadline for camera-ready version: 30 June 2004 Submissions have to be formatted according to the style guidelines of the Springer LNI series (available via www.gi-ev.de/LNI/index.html). Submissions must not exceed five pages, including figures. Please send your submission electronically and only in pdf format to: fuhrmann(a)tm.uka.de Accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings of the Informatik 2004 conference. Further information will be available soon at www.informatik2004.de.
