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Submission May 24, 2004 Notification July 12, 2004 Camera ready Aug 5, 2004 Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged to be submitted to DSOM 2004. Papers under review elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted to DSOM 2004 Authors are requested to submit: -Long papers (up to 12 single-spaced single-column pages) or -Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 2 pages) in PDF or Postscript format.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley ETT special issue]

-------- 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

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: MMNS 2004 Call For Paper Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2004 14:53:50 -0800 (PST) From: Kevin C. Almeroth <almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu> To: itc(a)comsoc.org Call for Papers 7th International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks & Services Host: IT@Intel Information Technology Research Intel Corporation San Diego, California, USA October 3-6, 2004 ==================================================================== The International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services (MMNS) will hold its seventh annual meeting on October 3 through October 6, 2004, in San Diego, California. 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 . End-to-end IP multimedia management . Converged communications (VoIP) service management . Active multimedia network management . Multimedia session management .
