13 Jun '04

CALL FOR PAPERS Computer Communications Special Issue: Monitoring and Measurements of IP Networks Guest Editors: Raouf Boutaba (rboutaba(a)uwaterloo.ca), University of Waterloo, Canada Ehab Al-Shaer (ehab(a)cs.depaul.edu), DePaul University, USA Kevin Almeroth (almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu), UC-Santa Barbara, USA Important Dates: Deadline for submissions: September 1 2004 Notification of acceptance: February 2005 Final papers due: April 2005 Publication: Summer 2005 The measurement of IP network performance has been the subject of a significant amount of recent research. The ultimate goal is to provide Internet service providers, as well as end-users, sufficient understanding of end-to-end network performance characteristics, routing behavior and network anomalies. This understanding is important for developing new network models, protocols, and resource optimization required to assure an acceptable quality of service. However, the ever changing traffic mix in the Internet, the appearance of peer-to-peer applications, and the increasing demand for mobility represent new challenges for IP performance management. Performance measurement involves a number of steps including monitoring, sampling, filtering, and analyzing data on-line/off-line and from many local/remote points. This special issue is seeking original and unpublished contributions addressing issues related to IP performance monitoring and analysis for enterprise networks and the Internet. Of particular interest are novel monitoring and measurement techniques that improve the state-of-the-art in data collection; experiments that collect, analyze, and make available data for use by other researchers; and analysis of data collected from local or wide area networks that give insights into Internet behavior. Examples of selected topics include but are not limited to: . IP measurements and monitoring . Measurement methods, tools and infrastructures . Measuring voice and video performance over IP . Traffic engineering and measurement of traffic matrices . Workload characterization and traffic analysis . Web, peer-to-peer and overlay networks measurements . Active and passive measurement techniques . Design of monitoring systems . Path measurements and filtering . Measurements of mobility and grid services . Sampling and filtering techniques . Network/Internet topology discovery . SLA and Quality of Service monitoring . Network security attack analysis . Experimental test beds and results . Reassessment of previous measurement findings SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Guidelines on formatting the paper are given at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Internet Compatible QoS in Ad hoc Wireless Networks (ICQAWN)]

Taha <taha(a)ece.queensu.ca> Reply-To: Abd-Elhamid M.

For different access technologies, the Internet has been taken as the unifying framework for interconnectivity and inherent mobility and resource management functionalities. Recently, serious attention has been given extending and utilizing Internet connectivity and QoS for ad hoc networks. Naturally, paradigm QoS techniques (IntServ & RSVP, DiffServ, MPLS) cannot be readily applied to ad hoc networks. Hence the need for QoS techniques compatible with traditional Internet QoS while maintaining realistic considerations for the characterstics of ad hoc networks. Call for Papers Scope In a wireless ad hoc network hosts are brought together to form a network on the fly. Inherently, there is a lack for QoS-aware protocols. Currently, two operational quality of service (QoS) models are proposed for the Internet: Integrated Services (IntServ) aided with Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ). The IntServ model aims to guarantee the QoS in a manner of end-to-end fine granularity, but its scalability is impaired by the need to maintain per-flow state at each core router. The DiffServ model attempts to resolve the scalability problem by replacing the per-flow service with an aggregate-class, per hop service, while pushing the per- flow state management to edge routers . Extending such QoS paradigms to wireless ad hoc networks is an important step towards achieving all-IP networking. A major challenge facing the extension of Internet QoS models over ad hoc networks is the very characteristic of such networks: a) Variable topology, resulting from nodal mobility in addition to the unreliable link properties caused by frequent packet collisions and signal interference and fading; b) Limited battery power and c) Device heterogeneity, in terms of platform, processing, mobility and battery power. We seek papers addressing Intserv and DiffServ compatible QoS in wireless ad hoc networks. Papers should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Topics of Intrest Include, but are not limited to: QoS admission control Adaptive QoS Bandwidth reservation schemes RSVP extensions to ad hoc networks Queue management and scheduling algorithms Extensions to DiffServ Per hop behavior Wireless MPLS Resource adaptation and system optimization for multimedia services Dynamic bandwidth management QoS-aware medium access protocols IEEE 802.11 QoS extensions Power-aware techniques and protocols Cross-layer designs TCP extensions Mobility management Delay and jitter management Congestion and flow control Performance evaluation Implementation and test-bed experiments Important Dates Paper submission: July 26, 2004 Author notification: Sept 10, 2004 Final manuscript due: September 30, 2004 Program Co-Chairs Hossam Hassanein (Queen's University, hossam(a)cs.queensu.ca) Ahmed Kamal (Iowa Statue University, kamal(a)iastate.edu) Technical Program Committee Mokhtar Aboelaze (York University) Azzedine Boukerche (University of Ottawa) Raouf Boutaba (University of Waterloo) Luciano Bononi(University of Bologna) Torsten Braun (University of Bern) Tracy Camp (Colorado School of Mines) Jorge Cobb (The University of Texas at Dallas) Ehab Elmallah (University of Alberta) Khaled Elsayed (Cairo University) Mohamed Eltoweissy (Virginia Tech) Matthias Frank (University of Bonn) Muhammad Jaseemuddin (Ryerson University) Salil Kanhere (University of New South Wales) Jelena Misic (University of Manitoba) Asis Nasipuri (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) Nidal Nasser (Queen's University) Ioanis Nikolaidis (University of Alberta) Golden G.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 03 Jun 2004 19:16:02 -0300 From: Bruno Schulze <schulze(a)lncc.br> Cc: radha Nandkumar <radha(a)ncsa.uiuc.edu> Subject: CFP: MGC 2004 - July 10th Could you please distributed on e-lists. Regards, MGC 2004 co-chairs MGC2004 - 2nd International Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing in conjunction with the 5th International Middleware Conference 2004 Toronto, Ontario, Canada - October 18th, 2004 http://mgc2004.lncc.br =========== CALL FOR PAPERS =========== History: The first edition of this workshop (MGC2003) was held on June 17th 2003, in conjunction with the Middleware Conference, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. MGC2003 saw a good combination of the many different flavors in Middleware for Grid Computing, with 16 technical presentations and discussions on several stimulating topics including, among the others, Classic Grids, object oriented technologies, Service- based Grids, Open grid Service Architecture, Agent Grid, Interactive Grid, Grid Economy / Scheduling, and Portlets. After the event, extended and thoroughly revised versions of the papers were invited to a Special Issue of Concurrency and Computation Practice and Experience Journal - Vol.16 N.5 2004. The first workshop generated substantial interest in the community and we hope to build on this tradition this year. Far from exhausting the topics of interest, MGC2003 paved the way for a second edition of the workshop, that will continue the most interesting and stimulating topics emerged last year, and also include some novel issues. Description: Much of the focus of Grid until recently has been within research organizations. Currently the involvement of commercial organization has increased tremendously. That leads to a greater focus on integration with commercial computing models and more work on the security and resource management models required for automated and secure access negotiation for remote resources. In order to control such a broad base of resources, Grid Computing has a middleware layer which controls the distributed execution of applications. In this Workshop we would encourage researchers from the various GRID middleware communities to submit and present original work for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: Classic Grid Middleware Object Oriented technologies or Component Middleware WSRF/OGSA/Web services Grid Middleware Architectures Grid Services Grid Middleware Security Resource Management and Scheduling Strategies and protocols for obtaining QoS Semantic Grid Middleware Managing Information in Grid Middleware Grid Object Metadata and Schemas Programming Models, Tools, and Environments Performance Evaluation and Modeling Evolution of and experiences with Grid systems Wireless Grids Data Grid Middleware Dependability and Fault Tolerance in Grids Virtualization in Grids Paper Submission: The Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 4-6 single-spaced pages of text using 10 point size type on A4 paper. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All selected papers for are peer-reviewed and will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Selected (extended) papers will be invited to a special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience Journal for 2005. Some papers may be selected to be presented as posters. Electronic only submission.

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