-------- 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

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP - ACM/Kluwer MONET Journal Special Issue on Wirless Sensor Networks Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2004 13:35:29 +0800 From: Jiangchuan Liu <ljc(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk> Reply-To: ljc(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk Organization: The Chinese University of Hong Kong To: tccc <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this. *** The deadline is appoaching (Jan 15, 04) !! 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. Submission should be limited to 25 double space pages. Prospective authors should submit, via email, their manuscript as a PDF file to EDAS at http://edas.info/ according to the publication schedule.

They will evaluate the proposed solution and so contribute to our knowledge of software for these systems in general. ____________________________________________________________ Title: The 6th Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation Deadline: 14-May-2004 Webpage: http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi04/ Conference: December 6-8, 2004 Location: San Francisco, CA, USA Synopsis: OSDI 2004 will bring together professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds in what has become a premier forum for discussing the design, implementation, and implications of systems software. Emphasizing both innovative research and quantified experience, OSDI takes a broad view of the systems area and solicits contributions from all fields of systems practice including, but not limited to: operating systems, networking, file and storage systems, distributed systems, mobile systems, secure systems, embedded systems, and the interaction of hardware and software development. We particularly encourage contributions containing highly original ideas or groundbreaking results that push the frontier of systems research. ____________________________________________________________ *NEW THIS MONTH! Title: 6th International Symposium on Distributed Objects and Applications (DOA 2004) Deadline: 30-May-2004 Webpage: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf Conference: October 25-29 2004 Location: Cyprus Synopsis: If you are a researcher or practitioner who is building innovative distributed object systems or applications, consider contributing a practice report or research paper to this event. Existing distributed object systems such as COM, CORBA, and EJB have been generally successful, but we're still evolving them, and applying lessons learned into areas such as Web Services, CORBA Components, J2EE, and .NET. All these approaches aim to provide openness, reliability, scalability, distribution transparency, security, ease of development, and support for heterogeneity between applications and platforms. Significant research and development is required to continue to broaden the applicability of distributed object systems. ____________________________________________________________ Special Announcements Title: SOSP Video Archive Summary: The video archive of talks at SOSP 2003 is now available at the conference Web page: http://www.cs.rochester.edu/sosp2003/videoarchive.shtml ____________________________________________________________ About SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE The SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE mailing list is intended to provide a low-volume channel that provides operating systems researchers and practitioners with information about upcoming events or other important announcements.

-----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).
