Call for Papers: IEEE Pervasive Computing (also available at http://www.computer.org/pervasive/edcal0704.htm) Building and Evaluating Ubiquitous System Software Guest Editors: Vinny Cahill, Trinity College Dublin Armando Fox, Stanford University Tim Kindberg, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Bristol Brian Noble, University of Michigan Submission Deadline: 15 March 2004 WIP Deadline: 1 May 2004 Author guidelines: www.computer.org/pervasive/author.htm Submission address: http://cs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com Publication date: July 2004 Ubiquitous computing environments raise new challenges for system software researchers. These environments incorporate a wide variety of devices, many of which are highly constrained in power and other local resources. Coordinating the devices is an even greater challenge because ubicomp environments tend to be volatile. Consider, for example, measuring context parameters such as human presence from a variety of sensors subject to routine disconnection and failure or exploiting services from a mobile device that regularly enters and leaves a state of connectivity. The heterogeneity and volatility of ubiquitous environments demand novel approaches to designing, building, and evaluating system software. IEEE Pervasive Computing magazine invites articles relating to system software for ubiquitous computing environments. We welcome papers that provide new software paradigms or algorithms, or relate implementation experience that other researchers can build upon. Successful submissions will clearly address an explicit ubiquitous system model and problem statement, which the authors relate to existing research. They will evaluate the proposed solution and so contribute to our knowledge of software for these systems in general. Example topics include (but are not limited to): * Resilience to routine failures and disconnections * Scalable coordination and synchronization mechanisms for volatile component collections * Operating systems and resource management algorithms for resource- constrained devices * Methods for acquiring environmental resources from minimal a priori models * Configuring and reconfiguring ubiquitous systems * Supporting spontaneous (ad hoc) interactions * The implications of physical-world integration for system design (system abstractions related to physical affordances) * Metrics and benchmarks * Case studies of deployed systems * Critical analyses of the state of the art Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the magazine's guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will be anonymously reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific publications. Electronic submissions via Manuscript Central should be received by 15 March 2004 to receive full consideration. Instructions on the submission process and the magazine guidelines on style and presentation can be found on the Author Guidelines page. In addition to full-length submissions, we also invite work-in-progress submissions of 250 words or less. These will not be peer-reviewed, but will be edited by the staff into a feature for the issue. The deadline for work-in- progress submissions is 1 May 2004.

just for your information -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Workshop Announcement -- Cross-Layer Issues in the Design of Tactical Mobile Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Integration of Communication and Networking Functions to Support Optimal Information Management' Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 14:08:01 -0500 From: Jeff Wieselthier <wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu At http://www.valcartier.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/tgonimdg/#upcoming you will find an Announcement and Call for Abstracts for a workshop on 'Cross-Layer Issues in the Design of Tactical Mobile Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Integration of Communication and Networking Functions to Support Optimal Information Management'. The workshop is being organized under the auspices of Task Group 12 of the NATO Research and Technology Organization's Information Systems Technology Panel ( http://www.valcartier.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/tgonimdg/ ). It will take place on 2-3 June 2004 at the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. The workshop will address the challenge of 'top-to-bottom' information management in disadvantaged (unreliable, low bandwidth or energy-constrained) mobile wireless military communication networks. Crucial issues relating to communication and networking in hostile environments span the entire layered structure from the physical layer up through the session layer. The conventional way to implement networks is to use a strictly layered structure, in which these issues are addressed separately, while defining interfaces to higher and lower layer functions. Although such an approach may be appropriate for wired networks, the characteristics of wireless networks suggest that improved performance may be obtained by addressing these issues in a coordinated (or "cross-layer") fashion. This workshop will address alternative approaches to various aspects of the communication/networking problem, and will assess the potential benefits that may be achieved through the vertical integration of layer functionality, with emphasis on improved collaboration with user applications to achieve optimal information management over a disadvantaged network. The topic will be of interest to military or scientific personnel concerned with the efficient use of limited resources in disadvantaged communications environments. Our keynote presentation will be given by Dr. Michael B. Pursley, Holcombe Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Clemson University. The workshop is open to citizens of NATO member countries who are working for a government, military, industrial or academic organization or institution within a NATO nation on a topic relevant to the theme of the workshop. The workshop is UNCLASSIFIED. The working language will be English. There is no registration fee. Please notify the undersigned of your desire to attend and/or make a presentation, using the form included in the attached Word document, NOT LATER THAN 18 February 2004. Submission of the form by electronic means is encouraged. We would appreciate your cooperation in forwarding the Announcement to colleagues that you feel may have an interest in the subject.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE IWQoS 2004 Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2004 17:54:28 -0500 (EST) From: Baochun Li <bli(a)eecg.toronto.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We sincerely apologize if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers The Twelfth IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2004) June 7-9, 2004, Montreal, Canada Sponsored by IEEE Communications Society, in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMOBILE Since 1994, IWQoS has been a very successful series of workshops providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on Quality of Service (QoS). Building on the successes of previous workshops, the objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future directions and challenges in developing practical systems where predictable and controlled performance is a central requirement. In particular, we look to reconsider and expand the scope of the workshop to include all work related to QoS --- in networking (wired, wireless and sensor networks), operating systems, servers, advanced middleware services (such as grid computing and peer-to-peer systems), and to address relevant technical issues such as availibity, reliability, security, pricing, incentives as well as performance. Therefore, in addition to traditional IWQoS topics such as service guarantees and resource management, papers offering research contributions related to robustness, resilience, dependability, predictability, security, and incentive engineering in both networking and distributed environments are particularly solicited. Topics of interest include (but not limited to): We particularly solicit papers in these aspects: QoS in peer-to-peer, grid and application-layer overlay networks QoS and security in distributed computing environments Dependability, availability, resilience and robustness Rationality, incentives, microeconomics and self-interests QoS in infrastructure-based and ad hoc wireless networks QoS in mobile environments QoS in wireless sensor networks Adaptations and evolutions of QoS Measurement-based QoS estimation and verification QoS in Intranets and VoIP systems Service Level Agreements and QoS Server-side QoS and its roles in end-to-end QoS provisioning We also solicit papers in the following aspects: QoS architectures and protocols QoS analysis and modeling Resource management and admission control QoS routing QoS pricing and billing Measurements, evaluation and experiences with QoS metrics Content delivery networks with performance and service guarantees QoS in web systems and storage systems Programmability and language aspects supporting QoS QoS in multimedia systems QoS-aware middleware frameworks and services Integrated and differentiated services in wide-area networks IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to provide fast turnaround. The deadline for papers is therefore as close to the conference as the publishers allow. In the past the workshop has been cross-disciplinary, well focused, with the emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time is devoted to informal discussions. The workshop is a single-track forum spanning two and a half days. It values both theoretical contributions and practical experiences. Web: http://iqua.ece.toronto.edu/iwqos04/ Important Dates: Paper abstract deadline: February 17, 2004, 11:59pm PST Paper submission deadline: February 20, 2004, 11:59pm PST (hard deadline, no extensions) Notification of acceptance: March 31, 2004 Camera-ready papers due: April 13, 2004 Workshop dates: June 7-9, 2004 Best Student Paper Award Award will be given at the conference to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student. Paper Submission IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Submissions should be full-length papers that are no longer than 20 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 -- 150 words. All papers must be submitted in either Postscript or the Adobe PDF format, and no other formats are accepted by the paper submission web site. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at IWQoS 2004. Hot Topics Session IWQoS 2004 introduces a new Hot Topics Session that serves as a forum to present opinions, views and ongoing work that reflect emerging research directions within the scope of the workshop. The objective of the session is to promote community-wide discussions of ideas that will influence and foster continued research in the field. The session will provide a venue for researchers to present new ideas that have the potential to significantly impact the community in the long term, especially those that are architectural or design-oriented in nature. To organize this session, we solicit short papers describing such an idea; the paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new solution (that may be work-in-progress in nature), or discuss existing work with an original viewpoint. The short papers are limited to five double-column, single-spaced pages. Accepted papers will be presented in a 15-minute time period, and will be included in the conference proceedings. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

CALL FOR PAPERS ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Special Issue on "Energy Constraints and Lifetime Performance in Wireless Sensor Networks" Wireless sensor networks have been undergoing a revolution that promises to have a significant impact throughout society, one that could quite possibly dwarf previous milestones in the information revolution. These networks consist of battery-powered nodes that are endowed with a multitude of sensing modalities. The demand for these networks is spurred by numerous applications that require in-situ, unattended, high-precision, real-time observation over a vast area. Such networks are more than simply the next step in the evolution of the personal computer or the Internet. Instead, wireless sensor networks operate under a set of unique constraints and requirements that demand more than merely incremental improvements in, or modifications of, traditional technologies. In particular, although there have been significant improvements in processor design and computing, advances in battery technology still lag behind, making energy resource the ultimate bottleneck in wireless sensor networking. The purpose of this issue is to disseminate state-of-the-art approaches and novel techniques that will advance basic knowledge and understanding of wireless sensor networks. We are particularly interested in soliciting papers that study fundamental performance limits and tradeoffs that are brought about by energy constraints and that are unique to the wireless sensor networks. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - New performance metrics and considerations due to energy constraints - Network lifetime limits due to energy constraints - Network lifetime-aware protocols and algorithms - Infrastructure and topological considerations for performance enhancement, e.g., relaying node/base station placement, impact of network geometry - Performance enhancement with power control and directional antennas - Network capacity limits due to energy constraints - Energy provisioning considerations for network lifetime guarantee - Energy consumption consideration for the design of control plane (e.g., centralized or distributed implementations) - Application of directional antennas in energy conservation Publication Schedule: - Manuscript Due: January 15, 2004 - Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2004 - Final Manuscript Due: June 1, 2004 - Publication Date: 3rd Quarter, 2004 Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered.

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Christian Elting [mailto:christian.elting@eml-d.villa-bosch.de] Gesendet: Freitag, 19. Dezember 2003 10:37 Betreff: Workshop "Interoperable Software-Infrastrukturen fuer selbstorganisierende Multimedia-Appliances" Liebe Kollegen, anbei sende ich Ihnen die Vorankündigung eines Workshops zum Thema Interoperabilität von Multimedia-Infrastrukturen, die vielleicht den einen oder anderen interessieren könnte. Viele Grüße und frohe Feiertage, Christian Elting ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Workshop Interoperable Software-Infrastrukturen für selbstorganisierende Multimedia-Appliances und Konstituierende Sitzung des GI-Arbeitskreises Interaktive Anwendungen für mobile und ubiquitäre Systeme Vorankündigung Dienstag, 27. April 2004, 10:0017:00 am Fraunhofer-Institut für Graphische Datenverarbeitung Darmstadt Inhalt: Schlagworte wie Ambient Intelligence, Pervasive Computing und Information Appliances versprechen für die Zukunft eine allgegenwärtige Verfügbarkeit von Informationstechnik und Multimedia-Informationen. Unsere alltägliche Umwelt wird in die Lage versetzt, unsere Ziele und Bedürfnisse zu erkennen und kann uns intelligent und situationsgerecht unterstützen. Projekte wie Oxygen am MIT, Ambience in der EU oder die BMB+F-Leitprojekte EMBASSI und SmartKom entwickeln Beispiele für solche Umgebungen. Die Realisierung intelligenter Umgebungen im praktischen Einsatz außerhalb der Labore erfordert jedoch die Interoperabilität von Diensten und Geräten, die Fähigkeit zur dynamischen Vernetzung und zur Selbstorganisation. Technologien wie UPnP, Rendezvous und JINI bilden hierfür wichtige Grundlagen. Darüber hinaus ist aber die Fähigkeit zur semantischen Selbstorganisation notwendig, zur spontanen und automatischen Kooperation multimedialer Dienste und Geräte zur Erkennung und Erfüllung der Nutzerbedürfnisse. Die Entwicklung von hierfür geeigneten Software-Technologien ist Gegenstand aktueller Forschungs- und Entwicklungsaktivitäten. Ziel: Ziel dieses Workshops ist die Vorstellung und kritische Diskussion aktueller Lösungsansätze für selbstorganisierende Multimedia-Appliances vor dem Hintergrund der Einsetzbarkeit in der Praxis. Wir wollen ein Anforderungsportfolio für die praxisorientierte Weiterentwicklung dieser Konzepte entwickeln und Strategien für die Koordination der verschiedenen Entwicklungsaktivitäten identifizieren. Im Anschluss an den Workshop ist die konstituierende Sitzung des GI-Arbeitskreises Interaktive Anwendungen für mobile und ubiquitäre Systeme geplant, in dessen Rahmen dieses Thema weiter verfolgt werden soll. Adressaten: Dieser Workshop wendet sich an Software-Ingenieure, Systemarchitekten, Systemdesigner und Wissenschaftler, die sich mit vernetzten Multimedia-Systemen, -Geräten und -Infrastrukturen, mit Unterhaltungselektronik sowie mit intelligenter Umgebungen befassen. Veranstalter: Dieser Workshop ist eine gemeinsame Veranstaltung des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Graphische Datenverarbeitung in Darmstadt, des European Media Lab Heidelberg und des Loewe-Kompetenzzentrum Hannover im Rahmen des BMB+F Projektes DynAMITE (Dynamisch Adaptive Multimodale IT-Ensembles).

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: pervasive2004-bounces(a)soft.uni-linz.ac.at [mailto:pervasive2004-bounces@soft.uni-linz.ac.at] Im Auftrag von Pervasive 2004 Publicity Chair Gesendet: Freitag, 19. Dezember 2003 10:20 An: pervasive2004(a)soft.uni-linz.ac.at Betreff: [Pervasive2004] CfP: Pervasive 2004 Workshops Subject: Workshops at Pervasive 2004, Call for Papers --- At the conference on Pervasive Computing 2004 in Vienne, Austria the following workshops will be held. W1: Workshop on Gaming Applications in Pervasive Computing Environments http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/ambiente/pervasivegaming W2: Toolkit Support for Interaction in the Physical World http://media.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/tuit W3: Memory and Sharing of Experiences http://www.ii.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~sumi/pervasive04 W4: First International Workshop on Computer Support for Human Tasks and Activities http://www.daimi.au.dk/pervasive2004workshop W5: Benchmarks and a database for context recognition http://www.wearable.ethz.ch/pervasive04_workshop.html W6: SPPC: Security and Privacy in Pervasive Computing http://www.vs.inf.ethz.ch/events/sppc04/ W7: Sustainable Pervasive Computing http://www.diuf.unifr.ch/pai/spc2004 For further information see the web pages of the workshops and the details below. ---------------------------------- ********************************** ---------------------------------- W1: Workshop on Gaming Applications in Pervasive Computing Environments --- Organizers: * Carsten Magerkurth, Fraunhofer IPSI, Darmstadt, Germany * Regan Mandryk, imon Fraser University, Burnaby BC, Canada. * Steve Benford, University of Nottingham, UK * Johan Sanneblad, FAL, Viktoria Institute, Goteborg, Sweden. --- Theme: Gaming has been a hot topic and innovating force in most cultures for thousands of years. In contrast to traditional gaming, computer entertainment still lacks rich human-to-human interaction and is not grounded in our physical world. With the emergence of ubiquitous and pervasive computing technology, we are now facing a radical paradigm shift in which the computer as a medium steps back and weaves itself into the fabric of our physical and social environments. Combining pervasive computing technologies with gaming applications many people enjoy and are used to, will have a positive effect on the dissemination of the pervasive computing paradigm and may help creating new and revolutionary forms of experiences. With this workshop we bring together researchers who are interested in interactive entertainment and the opportunities and risks that pervasive computing might introduce to it. We want to discuss initial results from this emerging field and share our experiences and v! isions to identify relevant research questions and future research directions. --- Submission Deadline: 15. Feb 2004 --- Further Information: http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/ambiente/pervasivegaming magerkurth(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de --- ---------------------------------- ********************************** ---------------------------------- W2: Toolkit Support for Interaction in the Physical World --- Organizers: * Rafael Ballagas, RWTH Aachen University * Scott Klemmer, UC Berkeley * Jennifer Sheridan, University of Lancaster --- Theme: Pervasive computing continues to push computer technology off the desktop and into the physical world. However, building physical interfaces is non-trivial, requiring knowledge of low-level hardware and software details. These difficulties echo the experiences of the GUI community twenty years ago. Tangible user interface (TUI) toolkits have the potential to simplify physical prototyping just as GUI toolkits have improved graphical prototyping. This workshop will be a collaboration between tangible user interface designers and toolkit developers. TUI designers should give perspectives on the domain they are designing for, prototyping techniques they use, and difficulties they encounter. Toolkit developers should present their toolkit solution or project, and its particular strengths and weaknesses for rapidly prototyping TUIs. We will address several fundamental issues in toolkit support for interaction in the physical world: * Creating a taxonomy of existing prototyping techniques for TUIs * Deriving required features and characteristics of potential TUI toolkits from this taxonomy * Mapping out the design space of TUI toolkits, and placing existing toolkits into it * Defining ways to evaluate TUI toolkits * Identifying opportunities for future collaboration --- Submission Deadline: January 26, 2004 --- Further Information: http://media.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/tuit --- ---------------------------------- ********************************** ---------------------------------- W3: Memory and Sharing of Experiences --- Organizers: * Kenji Mase, Nagoya University / ATR * Yasuyuki Sumi, Kyoto University / ATR * Sidney Fels, University of British Columbia --- Theme: Pervasive computing environment will become a strong infrastructure to record experiences of people in the real world because it will network a lot of wide spread sensors that can capture the activities of people continuously in various aspects. The experiences here include activities such as writing, drawing, speaking, meeting, sports, traveling etc., in personal or group context, and interactions with other people and/or artifacts. Recorded experiences by means of digital video, tactile sensors, location tracking device, etc. can be used as a source for various tasks in daily life, business, education and security. They include, for example, multi-media memory aids, reference for context recognition, creation of a model of person's activities and story-telling of life. The useful and computational log can be obtained by ubiquitous sensor networks and effective tagging systems. --- There are many research projects on ubiquitous sensor network for recording events, wearable device for personal event recording, real-world oriented CSCW, interaction analysis by ethnological approach, and privacy issues. The researchers who are engaged in this theme are welcome. --- Please send electronic submissions to: pervasive04(a)atr.jp Submission Deadline: January 19, 2003 --- Further Information: http://www.ii.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~sumi/pervasive04 mase(a)itc.nagoya-u.ac.jp --- ---------------------------------- ********************************** ---------------------------------- W4: First International Workshop on Computer Support for Human Tasks and Activities --- Organizers: * Jakob E. Bardram, University of Aarhus, Denmark * Henrik Bærbak Christensen, University of Aarhus, Denmark * David Garlan, Carnegie Mellon University, USA, * João Sousa, Carnegie Mellon University, USA --- Theme: The term task-based or activity-based computing has been proposed as a new paradigm for computing more suited for ubiquitous and pervasive computing than the traditional application- and file-centered computing paradigm, which are oblivious to a notion of a user task spanning multiple applications, services, and information sources. This situation is worse in work environments where users, rather than sitting at a desk all the time, would like to use whatever devices are available at each location for carrying out their work and for impromptu collaboration. This workshop aims at exploring issues related to improving the computational support for human tasks and activities, with a special focus on infrastructures, software architectures, models of user tasks, and on the challenges associated with designing and implementing those. The goal is to build a network of researchers and practitioners working on aspects of task- /activity-based computing. The workshop will focus on ex! ploring this potential by discussing the constraints and possibilities of existing and emerging technologies for supporting human activities, and focusing on identifying current and future research directions. These goals will be accomplished through presentation of the participants' visions and research, brainstorming sessions, and small-group breakout sessions. --- Submission deadline: 1. March 2004 --- Further Information: http://www.daimi.au.dk/pervasive2004workshop bardram(a)daimi.au.dk --- ---------------------------------- ********************************** ---------------------------------- W5: Benchmarks and a database for context recognition --- Organizers: * Paul Lukowicz, Institute for Computer Systems and Networks, UMIT Innsbruck * Jani Mäntyjärvi, Technical Research Center of Finland, VTT * Holger Junker, Wearable Computing Lab, ETH Zurich --- Theme: The aim of the workshop is to foster the generation of standard, publicly available data sets for context recognition. Such data sets and benchmarks have proven to their value in many other fields such as speech recognition, image recognition and computer architectures. They allow initial tests of new methods and algorithms without the need for time consuming data collection.Even more important, they provide an objective basis for the evaluation and comparison of algorithms. As the field of context recognition grows and becomes more mature, the need for such publicly available, standard data sets and benchmarks is becoming more and more obvious. The organizers see the workshop as a first step towards generating such data sets and benchmarks. To this end, we invite all interested researchers to present their views on relevant scenarios, sensors sets, data formats, mechanism for repository management and other related issues. We would also like to encourage presentations of existing data sets, that could be contributed to an initial database version. The output of the one-day workshop will be a consensus on the above issues. Ideally, this shall contain concrete steps and a time schedule for the establishment of the envisioned database and benchmark sets. --- Submission Deadline: 13 Feb 2004 --- Further Information: www.wearable.ethz.ch/pervasive04_workshop.html junker(a)ife.ee.ethz.ch --- ---------------------------------- ********************************** ---------------------------------- W6: SPPC: Security and Privacy in Pervasive Computing --- Organizers: * Philip Robinson (TecO, University of Karlsruhe, Germany) * Harald Vogt (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) * Waleed Wagealla (University of Strathclyde, Scotland) --- Theme: When someone asks you to use your office, what goes through your mind? Is it the probability that they may make an overseas call? Is it the fear that they may browse your high profile or confidential documents lying on the table? Or in the case of a total stranger, how did they know that your office was available in the first place? In this workshop we build on a notion that decisions influenced by trust, privacy, security and context are not treated in isolation, rather there exists a system of balanced reasoning that interrelates these concerns. The aim of this workshop is to explore the properties of this system, by defining the interfaces between trust, privacy, security and context, the data that is interchanged between their identifiable mechanisms, and how this knowledge can be best applied in pervasive computing applications. --- Submission deadline: 14 February 2004 --- Further Information: http://www.vs.inf.ethz.ch/events/sppc04/ --- ---------------------------------- ********************************** ---------------------------------- W7: Sustainable Pervasive Computing --- Organizers: * Siegfried Behrendt, Institute for Futures Research and Technology Assessment, Berlin, Germany * Danielle Bütschi, Center for Technology assessment, TA-Swiss, Berne, Switzerland * Michèle Courant, University of Fribourg, Fribourg, Switzerland * Lorenz Hilty, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research, St. Gallen, Switzerland --- Theme: The technology of pervasive computing is now ready for a large-scale everyday use. Such a widespreading may have a strong impact on society and environment, by the way equipments and technical infrastructures for everyday life will be designed, and by the way the social and environmental issues of technology will be managed. Despite the promising facilities it will bring on, pervasive computing has indeed some darks sides, which must be early taken into account if we want to achieve a sustainable development. The goal of the workshop is then to bring together interdisciplinary contributors for enabling to set up the foundations of a sustainable pervasive computing.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: International Middleware Conference 2004 Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2003 09:41:18 +0100 From: Ludger Fiege <fiege(a)GKEC.TU-DARMSTADT.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)listserv.uni-heidelberg.de> Organization: TU Darmstadt To: KUVS-L(a)listserv.uni-heidelberg.de (We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message) Call for Papers: Middleware 2004 ACM/IFIP/USENIX International Middleware Conference (society sponsorship pending) Toronto, Ontario, Canada October 18th - 22nd, 2004 http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/middleware2004/ Overview Requirements for faster development cycles, decreased development efforts, greater software reuse, and better end-to-end control over system resources are motivating the creation and use of middleware systems and middleware-based architectures. Middleware is systems software that resides between the applications and the underlying operating systems, network protocol stacks, and hardware. Its primary role is to functionally bridge the gap between application programs and the lower-level hardware and software infrastructure in order to coordinate how application components are connected and how they interoperate. Furthermore, middleware enables and simplifies the integration of components developed by multiple technology suppliers. In this sense middleware systems are sets of services and abstractions that facilitate the development and deployment of distributed applications in heterogeneous, distributed, computing environments. Next-generation distributed applications and systems will increasingly be developed using middleware. This dependency poses hard challenges, including latency hiding, masking partial failures, information assurance and security, legacy integration, dynamic service partitioning and load balancing, and end-to-end quality of service specification and enforcement. To address these challenges, researchers and practitioners need to discover and validate techniques, patterns, and optimizations for middleware frameworks, multi-level distributed resource management, and adaptive and reflective middleware architectures. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 5th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research and technology in 2004. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed system platforms and architectures for future computing and communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality technical program, tutorials, invited speakers, poster presentations, and workshops. The proceedings of Middleware 2004 will be published as a Springer-Verlag volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. For paper formatting instructions see the Springer-Verlag guidelines for authors. All papers should be no more than 20 pages in length. For more detailed submission instructions, please visit the Middleware 2004 web site.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Sepcial issue on wireless sensor networks, IEEE Wireless Communications Magainze Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 16:35:36 -0600 (CST) From: Jennifer Hou <jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. --------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Special Issue on "Wireless Sensor Networks: Theory and Systems" IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Theme Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), monitoring critical infrastructures (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and collecting data for battlefield awareness. Information processing in sensor networks is an interdisciplinary research area, which spans the areas of signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity. Topics of Interest This special issue calls for articles that highlight technical issues from physical device design, signal processing, network protocols/algorithms, to revolutionary new applications enabled by sensor network technology. In particular, we are seeking contributions in all aspects of sensor networks. Of particular interests are (i) Articles that summarize the fundamental performance and behavior limits of sensor networks with respect to sensor network capacity, coverage, connectivity, and/or lifetime. As wireless sensor networks must operate under extreme resource constraints, an understanding of the fundamental performance limits of such networks will provide valuable insights into what designs make sense and can help identify areas in which theory promises performance much better than that attained by existing designs. (ii) Articles that outline algorithms which realize certain sensor network operation, such as localization, time synchronization and target tracking, and their theoretical base. Articles of this type should focus on comparing alternative algorithms/approaches with respect to the various sensor network requirements outlined above. (iii) Articles that deal with system implementations, experiments, and experiences in application domains. At an early stage of sensor network development, one can analyze and predict network behavior through simulation and theoretical reasoning. However, a true evaluation of system performance can only be obtained through implementation and direct measurement and experimentation of the prototype. Hence articles that report the system implementation issues with an emphasis on the cross-layer design tradeoffs will shed lights on how effective the overall system design is. Example topical areas of interests include, but not limited to * Coding and information theory * Detection, classification, and estimation * Distributed networked sensing and control * Data compression, association, aggregation and fusion * Data-centric routing and attribute based addressing * Energy efficient medium access control and resource management * Localization, tracking and time synchronization * Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity * Query processing and optimization * Security * Simulation environments and systems prototyping * Sensor network applications and services Publication Schedule Manuscript due: January 1st Acceptance notification: March 1st Final manuscript due: May 1st Expected publication date: August Submission Instruction All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html. Electronic submissions are accepted only in Postscript and PDF formats and should be sent to havinga(a)cs.utwente.nl or jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu directly. If you have any questions, please contact any one of the guest editors. 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 15 double space pages excluding figures, graphs, and illustrations.

These networks consist of battery-powered nodes that are endowed with a multitude of sensing modalities. The demand for these networks is spurred by numerous applications that require in-situ, unattended, high-precision, real-time observation over a vast area. Such networks are more than simply the next step in the evolution of the personal computer or the Internet. Instead, wireless sensor networks operate under a set of unique constraints and requirements that demand more than merely incremental improvements in, or modifications of, traditional technologies. In particular, although there have been significant improvements in processor design and computing, advances in battery technology still lag behind, making energy resource the ultimate bottleneck in wireless sensor networking. The purpose of this issue is to disseminate state-of-the-art approaches and novel techniques that will advance basic knowledge and understanding of wireless sensor networks. We are particularly interested in soliciting papers that study fundamental performance limits and tradeoffs that are brought about by energy constraints and that are unique to the wireless sensor networks. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - New performance metrics and considerations due to energy constraints - Network lifetime limits due to energy constraints - Network lifetime-aware protocols and algorithms - Infrastructure and topological considerations for performance enhancement, e.g., relaying node/base station placement, impact of network geometry - Performance enhancement with power control and directional antennas - Network capacity limits due to energy constraints - Energy provisioning considerations for network lifetime guarantee - Energy consumption consideration for the design of control plane (e.g., centralized or distributed implementations) - Application of directional antennas in energy conservation Publication Schedule: - Manuscript Due: January 15, 2004 - Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2004 - Final Manuscript Due: June 1, 2004 - Publication Date: 3rd Quarter, 2004 Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered.

The guest editors for this special issue are David Simplot-Ryl and Gilles Grimaud, University of Lille, France, and Jean-Jacques Vandewalle, Gemplus Systems Research Labs, France. The ubiquitous sudden increase of new networked devices and the fast proliferation of distributed computing involving all kinds of computing devices create a unique challenge. Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. The concept of 'smart object' is defined as the junction between miniaturization with the development of wireless communications. A large number of applications in daily life enriched can be imagined: from PDA networks to smart space, from wireless smartcard to smart fridges. Smart objects like smartcards, RFID tags, wireless sensors, smart dust, require suitable basic software which takes into account the specificity of smart objects: limited resources, transient communication links, mobile and untrusted environment, etc. These constraints impact in operating system design which represents a huge challenge for a great number of research activities. The goal of this special issue of the International Journal of Computers and Applications by ACTA Press, USA, is to publish original research and review articles in the domains of operating system and networking for smart devices given below. Areas of relevant interest we foresee (but not limited to) include: - Smart devices like smartcards, RFID tags, sensors and smart dusts - Embedded operating system dedicated to smart objects - Mobile and ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery - Design principles and techniques for smart embedded systems - Middleware services for deployment and management of smart objects - Security and safety issues of ubiquitous computing systems - Location-dependent / personalized applications - Wireless sensor networks and group management of sensor nodes Submission and timetable The submission deadline is February 20, 2004. Send papers as .pdf file to David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr. Papers must be written in English and must confine to a maximum of 18 pages (including abstract page, equations, tables, all figures, references, author biographies and photos (optional)) with double-line spacing per page.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP 7th International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research (2) Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2003 20:31:46 -0600 From: Bezalel Gavish <gavishb(a)charter.net> To: (Recipient list suppressed) /Feel Free to redistribute /*7th International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research Call for Papers (Submission deadline of February 1, 2004) *INFOMART, Dallas, June 10-13, 2004 http://tecom.cox.smu.edu/ICECR/ICECR7/ [My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] *Scope and Goals of the Conference* Over the past few years, /electronic commerce/ has emerged as a dramatic new model of conducting business. Most companies are either using or considering the use of e-business. Advances in telecommunications, automated processes, decision technologies, economics, and management are already forcing dramatic changes in a variety of industries, ranging from banking and finance to music and entertainment. Yet, the electronic business space is still in a relatively early state of evolution, and many of the significant advances in understanding and implementing e-commerce are occurring concurrently in academia and industry. Thus, dialogue on this field between academia and industry is important. As electronic business spans a wide range of reference disciplines, forums focusing on e-commerce research are vital to stimulate the necessary interactions and knowledge sharing across this broad community. The */Seven^th /* */International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research ICECR-7 /*is intended to address these needs. The series of ICECR conferences established a history of success in bringing together academic and industrial researchers from various fields on an ongoing, annual basis to discuss developments and challenges of electronic business understood in the largest possible sense of the term. The aim of ICECR-7 is to continue this tradition and provide a high quality forum for the presentation of results, exchange of ideas, and scientific discussions on challenges, methodologies, new technologies and their impact, computational and deployment issues, policies and advanced applications in the area of e-business. Our goal is to open the conference to participants from all fields, in particular, telecommunications, computer science, management sciences, and operations research, economy, legal and policy studies. The conference will combine technical presentations grouped in research sessions, with industry and research plenary speakers, as well as industry-lead panels. Following the earlier successful meetings held in Nashville, Dallas, and Montréal, the */International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research/* its seven^th edition will be held at INFOMART, Dallas, Texas.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] End-to-End Service Differentiation Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 08:55:54 -0500 (EST) From: Teresa A Dahlberg <tdahlber(a)uncc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Workshop on End-to-End Service Differentiation (EESD 2004) in conjunction with IPCCC 2004 Phoenix, Arizona April 14-17, 2004 http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/eesd04 Scope: Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a proposed architecture by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in which various ap- plications are supported using a simple classification scheme. Packets entering the DiffServ domain are handled depending on the packets' class. However, for many QoS-sensitive applications, such as e-commerce and steaming media, QoS differentiation at the network layer alone may be insufficient to guarantee the applica- tion's QoS requirements. Such applications require end-to-end QoS differentiation. End-to-end QoS guarantees require service dif- ferentiation mechanisms throughout the protocol stack, as well as in the middleware, the operating system and even in the applica- tions. We are interested in visionary, experimental, systems-related and work in-progress papers in the area of QoS differentiation at the network, middleware, operating system and application levels. Pa- pers in the form of extended abstracts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by anoth- er conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presen- tation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings. The workshop will also include invited papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to - Differentiated services architectures - Application-level service differentiation - Policybased QoS differentiation - Packet classification and marking - Packet scheduling algorithms and implementations - Differentiated buffer management - QoS across heterogeneous link technologies - QoS for mobile application support - Active network support for QoS differentiation - Content-aware switches - Multi-level admission control - QoS-aware operating systems - QoS differentiation for e-commerce and m-commerce - QoS-aware web server architec tures - Service differentiation via web caching - Service differentiation via content distribution networks - QoS support for storage networks - QoS support for networked games Submission: Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically. The documents must follow Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). To do so, follow the relevant link on the workshop home page http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/eesd04/submit.html Papers are in the form of extended abstracts, 5-8 pages long. A cover page must include a title, descriptive keywords, all au- thor's names, complete mailing addresses, telephone numbers, e- mail addresses and an abstract of up to 150 words. Papers accept- ed for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Workshop on Information Assurance CFP Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 22:51:30 -0500 (EST) From: David Tipper <dtipper(a)mail.sis.pitt.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Workshop on Information Assurance (WIA04) In conjunction with the 23rd IEEE International Performance Computing and Communications Conference (IPCCC) http://www.ipccc.org/ipccc2004 Phoenix, Arizona April 14-17, 2004 Scope: Information Assurance (IA) is defined as the operations undertaken to protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation. Information assurance for networks is as critical as it is for information systems. Availability implies that networks and systems must be survivable and fault tolerant they should possess redundancies to operate under failures or security breaches. For example, networks should be designed with sufficient spare and working capacity, efficient traffic restoration protocols, alarms and network management. Security encompasses the other aspects of IA, namely integrity, access-control, authentication, confidenti- ality and non-repudiation as they apply to both networks and systems. The The increasing reliance of business-to-business and business to consumer applications on networked information systems dramatically magnifies the consequence of damages resulting from even simple system faults and intrusions, making the task of assuring confidentiality, availability and integrity of information difficult. Although several piecemeal solutions address concerns related to the security and fault tolerance of various components of such networksed information systems, there is a growing need to leverage the synergy between security and survivability to provide a higher level of information assurance in the face of faults and attacks. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, systems-related and work in-progress in the area of Information Assurance at the network and system levels. We expect to have three sessions - the first related to survivability and fault tolerance, the second related to security, and the third related to the interactions between security and survivability. Papers in the form of extended abstracts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings. The workshop will also include invited papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Security and availability of web services - Authorization and access-control - Database and system security - Risk analysis and security management - Verification and validation of security - Wireless LAN Security - Restoration techniques for networks - Multi-layer protection design - Reliability/Availability of IP networks - Digital Rights Management - DoS protection for the Internet - Cryptographic protocols and Key management - Network security and Intrusion detection - Ad hoc and sensor network security - Models and architectures for systems security and survivability - Security and survivability in optical networks - Restoration of security services under failure - Security and survivability architectures for e-commerce and m-commerce - Public policy issues for security and survivability Deadlines for Submissions: December 6th, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: December 29th, 2004 Camera-Ready Copy Received: January 26th, 2004 Workshop: April 14-17, 2004 Submission: Authors should submit their papers electronically.
