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

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

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

22 May '04

Call for Presentations for the two Application Sessions for MMNS 2004. This is patterned after the very successful Application Sessions done in NOMS 2004. The web links are: MMNS 2004: https://www.itsharenet.org/MMNS Application Sessions for MMNS 2004: https://www.itsharenet.org/MMNS/Application_Sessions Autonomic Session Chair: John Strassner Multimedia Architecture Session Chair: Raymond Liao CfP is below: This year, MMNS 2004 is introducing the concept of an "application session". These sessions focus on the management of multimedia networks and services from an industry and end-user perspective. Particular emphasis will be placed on the experiences of enterprises, Service Providers, vendors, and customers in the following two areas: * The move towards implementing network autonomics * New architectures and mechanisms to support mission critical or next generation wireless/multimedia systems and services The first session includes any and all work on making all components of the managed environment (e.g., network devices, applications, servers, middleware, and others) behave in an autonomic fashion. The second session includes any and all work on management and control architectures, and the mechanisms that they use, to support next generation wireless/multimedia systems and services. The application sessions therefore complement the main conference track, which is focused on theory and research results. Its aim is to help encourage discussions between academia and industry, and to emphasize the practical application and problems encountered when building and managing multimedia systems and services. Please note that "vendor advertisements" will not be allowed. 1. How it will be organized The Application Session will consist of two groups of sessions. The first, focusing on Network Autonomics, will be chaired by John Strassner. The second, focusing on architectures, will be chaired by Raymond Liao. Both sessions will have their own application committee, which will be responsible for reviewing and selecting papers submitted to each application session. The Application Session will also use EDAS for paper submissions. 2. Organizational Details of the Application Session The paper format should be written in English. The presentation must be original that is not currently under review, and has not been previously published in another conference or journal. Submissions will be in the form of presentations, with the top half consisting of graphics, and the bottom half made up of explanatory text. Submissions should be no longer than 14 pages, including title and references. A sample PowerPoint file will be available from the MMNS website for use as a reference. Submissions using PowerPoint or PDF will be accepted. To submit your paper, go to <https://www.itsharenet.org/MMNS/Papers> Paper Submission.
