-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP:18th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS) Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2004 09:04:06 +0200 From: announce(a)teco.edu To: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Call For Papers 18th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS) - System Aspects in Organic and Pervasive Computing Innsbruck, Austria, March 14-17, 2005 http://www.teco.edu/arcs05 Paper Submission Deadline: September 20, 2003 ======================================================================= Future computer systems will be much more integrated into the fabric of everyday life than today's computers are. They will become smaller, more appropriate for their use, integrated into everyday objects and often virtually or physically invisible to the users. They will be also deployed in a much higher quantity and penetrate many application areas To provide such features and functionality, computer devices become tinier yet still increase in complexity; they must consume less power, while still supporting advanced computation and communications, such that they are highly connected yet still operate as autonomous units. This brings several research topics to the fore, including ultra-low power consumption, self-awareness, adaptive networking, smart behavior of systems, scalability and complexity of devices and systems. Pervasive and ubiquitous computing research addresses such issues by developing concepts and technology for interweaving computers into our everyday life. The principle approach is to enhance system functionality and adaptability by recognizing context and situations in the environment. Organic computing then addresses high system complexity by drawing analogies from complex biological systems, with the human-centered goal of self-organization. Organic computing investigates the design and implementation of self-managing systems that are selfconfiguring, self-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, context aware, and anticipatory. ARCS 2004 will emphasize the design, realization and analysis of the emerging computing systems for organic and pervasive computing and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The conference focuses on system aspects of organic and pervasive computing in software and hardware. In particular, system integration and self-management of hardware, software and networks are in the centre of interest. ARCS 2005 continues and replaces the biennial series of German Conferences on Architecture of Computing Systems. This 18th conference in the series serves as a forum to present current work on all aspects of computer and systems architecture. Besides its main focus, the conference is open for more general and interdisciplinary themes in operating systems, networking, and computer architecture. Papers pertaining to aspects of computer and systems architecture, in particular in the field of organic and pervasive computing are sought, including: Enabling Technologies and Infrastructure - operating systems - middleware for organic, pervasive and peer-to-peer computing - multi-agent and mobile agent systems - bio-analogue and artificial-life systems - context and locality - low power systems design - machine-learning, prediction, pro-activity - system design and simulation - reconfigurable hardware and software systems - safety, security, reliability - self-managing service configuration Architectures and Systems - computer and system architecture - modular distributed devices - self-managing, self-healing and fault-tolerant systems - real-time systems - mobile and wearable devices - embedded systems (consumer electronics, automotive) Applications - scenarios for ubiquitous and pervasive computing - autonomic environments - network server architectures and network based applications - semantic networks - ubiquitous, home and wireless networking The conference is organized by the special interest group on Computer and Systems Architecture of the GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik - German Informatics Society) and ITG (Informationstechnische Gesellschaft - Information Technology Society), supported by OCG (Austrian Computer Society), OVE/GIT (Austrian Electrotechnical Associastion) and electrosuisse (ITG), and held in cooperation with IFIP, ACM and IEEE (approval requested). In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presentations, the conference will offer invited presentations, workshops, and tutorials. The conference proceedings will be published in the 'Lecture Notes in Computer Science' series by Springer-Verlag. Papers should not exceed 15 pages (approximately 5000 words) in Springer LNCS style. We accept only electronic submissions in postscript or pdf format. The URL of the submission site is http://www.teco.edu/arcs05/ . Selected papers will be published in the Personal and Ubiquitous Computing Journal. Workshops are intended to discuss themes related to the conference and should be open to all ARCS attendees.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP for special issue of CCR on the Internet's Vital Signs]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP for special issue of CCR on the Internet's Vital Signs Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 12:17:30 -0400 From: Mark Allman <mallman(a)icir.org> Reply-To: mallman(a)icir.org Organization: ICSI Center for Internet Research (ICIR) To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS Measuring the Internet's Vital Statistics A Special Issue of ACM SIGCOMM COMPUTER COMMUNICATION REVIEW There are a number of measurements of the Internet's basic properties that are tremendously useful for researchers to know. A solid understanding of key Internet properties is useful for: * creating quality models to evaluate innovative new protocols, algorithms and architectures * understanding the overall context with which a new system will inevitably have to cope if/when deployed * gaining an appreciation for the variety and breadth of situations one may encounter when measuring the Internet Yet, as the Internet has grown, many of these measurements are no longer widely circulated -- often because they are viewed as operational rather than of research interest. Assumptions based on dated information about the operational Internet are used every day by researchers. Unreliable assumptions about the Internet's key properties may lead to everything from wasted time in appreciating the breadth of scenarios one must take into account in measurement analysis to simulation studies that are not of practical import because of the inaccurate models. The goal of this special issue is to begin the practice of periodically publishing measurement studies of the Internet that concisely provide reliable, easily accessible information for researchers to use and build on. Our aim is to complement traditional measurement venues that emphasize new measurement techniques and evaluations of new protocols and architectures, by updating the community's working knowledge of the basic properties. Examples of measurements that would be of interest are: * a breakdown of the types of bad/defective/broken DNS queries received at the typical root server; * how frequently the TCP/UDP checksum and the MAC-layer CRC disagree; * the distribution of traffic among different applications (perhaps, measured at different points in the network); * the ratio of local traffic to global traffic; * how often the forward and return paths of a TCP connection differ; * how often traffic is reordered; * the variation in BGP route prefixes advertised over the course of a typical minute, hour, day, week, and month; * distributions of round-trip times experienced in the network Our expectation is that each paper will be short: a description of the methodology by which the data was captured and where it was gathered, a presentation of results, and where possible, a comparison of the current results with those of prior years (and other researchers). The focus of the papers should be on the data, rather than on developing new methodologies. We encourage authors to collaborate to illustrate information from multiple vantage points in the network. In addition, we especially solicit papers that are coupled to public release of measurement datasets (even if anonymized in some form). Our aim is to initiate a cycle whereby the community constantly updates our collective understanding of the Internet's basic properties. Therefore, following the publication of this special issue, CCR and Sigcomm will endeavor to continuously publish papers on the Internet's basic properties to keep the community's perspective fresh. Please submit papers to the special issue by email to ccr-ivs(a)lists.csail.mit.edu For further information and submission details please see http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/ccr/ivs Please address questions about content or submission procedure to ccr-ivs(a)lists.csail.mit.edu Schedule: Submissions due November 1, 2004 Acceptance decisions December 3, 2004 Publication January, 2005 Special Issue Editors Mark Allman, ICIR Craig Partridge, BBN _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
