Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI)
by Lars Wolf 09 Sep '14

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Mirja Kühlewind" <mirja.kuehlewind(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Gesendet: 9. September 2014 06:21:45 GMT-10:00 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI) IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI) 26-27 January 2015 – ETH Zürich, Switzerland The Internet’s transport layer has ossified, squeezed between narrow interfaces (from BSD sockets to pseudo-transport over HTTPS) and increasing in-network modification of traffic by middleboxes that make assumptions about the protocols running through them. This ossification makes it difficult to innovate in the transport layer, through the deployment of new protocols or the extension of existing ones. At the same time, emerging applications require functionality that existing protocols can provide only inefficiently, if at all. To begin to address this problem, the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), within the scope of its IP Stack Evolution Program, is organizing a workshop to discuss approaches to de-ossifying transport, especially with respect to interactions with middleboxes and new methods for implementing transport protocols. Recognizing that the end-to-end principle has long been compromised, we start with the fundamental question of matching paths through the Internet with certain characteristics to application and transport requirements. Which paths through the Internet are actually available to applications? Which transports can be used over these paths? How can applications cooperate with network elements to improve path establishment and discovery? Can common transport functionality and standardization help application developers to implement and deploy such approaches in today’s Internet? Could cooperative approaches give us a way to rebalance the Internet back toward its end-to-end roots? Topics For this workshop we would like to consider topics that speak to these questions, including the following: - Development and deployment of transport-like features in application- layer protocols - Methods for discovery of path characteristics and protocol availability along a path - Methods for middlebox detection and characterization of middlebox behavior and functionality - Methods for NAT and middlebox traversal in the establishment of end- to-end paths - Mechanisms for cooperative path-endpoint signaling, and lessons learned from existing approaches - Economic considerations and incentives for cooperation in middlebox deployment We will explicitly focus on approaches that are incrementally deployable within the present Internet. The outcome of the workshop will be architectural and engineering guidance on future work in the area, published as an IAB workshop report, based on discussion of proposed approaches; future work will be pursued within the IAB Stack Evolution Program. We will also explore possible areas for standardization, e.g. new protocols that separate signaling to and from on-path devices and common transport semantics from the rest of the transport protocol; and for general guidance, e.g. how transports as well as middleboxes can be designed and deployed to achieve these goals. Submission Instructions Attendance at the workshop is by invitation. Prospective participants are invited to submit short position papers outlining their views on one or more topics related to the scope of the workshop. Position papers will be published on the IAB website at: http://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/semi/. Submissions accepted at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semi2015 Submission Deadline: 31 October 2014 Notification Deadline: 17 November 2014 Workshop Dates: 26-27 January 2015 Sponsored by the Internet Architecture Board, the Internet Society, and ETH Zürich.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) - Special issue on Vehicular Networking for Mobile Crowd Sensing Datum: Thu, 4 Sep 2014 04:19:02 -0400 Von: Antonella Molinaro <antonella.molinaro(a)UNIRC.IT> Antwort an: Antonella Molinaro <antonella.molinaro(a)UNIRC.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS A Special Issue of Ad hoc Networks (Elsevier) on Vehicular Networking for Mobile Crowd Sensing http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is… ================================================ Scope: Mobility of people and goods is vital to urban economy and quality of life. It is estimated that people will increase their need of mobility around 35% per decade for the next 3 decades. In this context, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) can be seen as new key enablers of the future networked society. Vehicles travelling acquire, as mobile sensors, a variety of information with increased capillarity in time and space. The vast information collected by vehicles can be used to enable a plurality of new services addressing safety, traffic management, smart navigation, in-vehicle remote control, pollution measurements, urban surveillance, environment monitoring, forensic investigations, and Internet access. Hence, VANETs represent a wide dynamic sensing opportunity. The acquisition, sharing, processing, and transmission of data from, to, and among vehicles foresee a new way to manage the communications: heterogeneity is inherent to devices, to data, and also to technologies. This opens new challenges whose complexity increases with the amount of connected vehicles. A typical challenge is how to make vehicles opportunistically cooperate, sharing resources and contents, how to optimize the transmission through operated networks or road side units (i.e., vehicle to infrastructure -V2I - communications), and how to obtain a real advantage from vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications (such as, offloading of cellular networks, resource optimization, creation of new services). Other challenges derive from the jointly management and seamless integration of heterogeneous data flows, from frequent but small packets transmitted in V2V links, to huge multimedia flows shared and transmitted through the infrastructure. This special issue is seeking original contributions on VANETs, sharing the research efforts and deployment challenges in this field and discussing challenges, key enabling techniques, unprecedented approaches, and field trails. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): -Enabling technologies for vehicles cooperation (IEEE 802.11p, LTE, Visible Light Communication, etc.) -Cooperative approach for V2I communication -Physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) techniques (OFDMA, CSMA, non orthogonal waveforms) for V2V and V2I communications -Design of advanced PHYs for the coexistence of heterogeneous data flows (high rate flows with several low rate flows) -Multi-modal heterogeneous networks and optimal management of resources -Distributed algorithms for data collection -Optimal retrieval of relevant data and optimal routing toward the final users -New ideas toward an efficient handling of huge number of devices with widely varying requirements (e.g., information-centric networking) -Example of ITS or Smart Cities applications relying on data collected by vehicles -Field trial experiments. Original, high quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript according to the following timetable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION DEADLINE (manuscript due): 2014 October 15 ACCEPTANCE DEADLINE (acceptance notification): 2015 March 12 EXPECTED PUBLICATION DATE: 2nd Quarter 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guest Editors Barbara M.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Anyi Wang <wanganyi.way(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3. September 2014 20:32:10 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers -- PAM 2015 PAM (Passive and Active Measurement) 2015 - Call for Papers IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract Registration Due: Sept. 25, 2014 (11:59pm PDT) Submission Deadline: Oct. 2, 2014 (11:59pm PDT) Notification: Nov. 21, 2014 Camera Ready Due: Dec. 19, 2014 (11:59pm PDT) Conference: New York City, NY, March 19-20, 2015 GENERAL INFORMATION PAM seeks to bring together both the network research and operations communities to consider network measurement and analysis techniques, particularly those in the earlier stages of research. PAM has in the past focused on research and practical applications of network measurement at Layer-3. However, in the last 3 years PAM broadened its scope to encompass measurements of networked applications, content distribution networks, online social networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components; at the MAC/network/transport layers; as well as up the stack for application profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurement technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. PAM continues to encourage a broad range of submissions across these recently important topics. We aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques, tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. Original papers are invited, but not limited to, the following topics: * Passive and active measurement tools: techniques, design and experience. * Characterization studies of network usage, or end-host behavior. * Application-layer measurements: e.g., social networks or game performance. * Measurements of protocol behavior: e.g., DNS, DHCP, or routing protocols. * Network measurements for troubleshooting and anomaly detection. * Measurements related to network security and privacy. * Measurements of data centers, cloud services and content distribution. * Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability. * Measurement of end-user performance and quality of experience. * Management and operation of distributed measurement infrastructures. * Techniques for measurements and measurement-based inference of macroscopic Internet structure, dynamics, and evolution. * Management and visualization of measurement data. * New measurement initiatives. * Measurement analysis techniques: e.g., traffic classification. * Modeling of network measurement. * Correlation of measurements across multiple layers, protocols or networks. * Internet-oriented wireless and mobility measurements. Although PAM traditionally attracts work that is at an early stage, works that are a reappraisal or independent validation of previous results, or which enhance the reproducibility of network measurement research, for instance by publishing new datasets on an existing topic, are explicitly included in PAM's ambit, and are particularly encouraged. Paper submissions are limited to 12 pages, see the conference website (link below) for more details about paper submission.

CfP: DCCE'14 – 1. Workshop on Dynamic Certification in Cloud Ecosystems
by Lars Wolf 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

<CALL FOR PAPER> *Call for Paper* DCCE'14 – 1. Workshop on Dynamic Certification in Cloud Ecosystems In conjuction with IEEE CloudCom 2014 http://2014.cloudcom.org/ *Abstract* Audits and certificates can help to evaluate and proof cloud infrastructures and ecosystems according to specific compliance catalogues. Subjects of cloud audits are typically the quality of processes and services, the level of security and data protection as well as other standardised checklists. Examples such as the EuroCloud Star Audit are developed in reference to ISO 27001/27017 and ISAE 3000/ ISAE3402 with a restructured approach for cloud service assessment. Other examples which are based on CCM, ISO27001-2013, AICPA Trust Principle (and others) are CSA STAR Certification (which is an evolution, cloud specific of ISO27001) and CSA STAR Attestation (based on SOC2 and CCM). These 2 examples of audits are part of the CSA Open Certification Framework. Current certification processes, conducted once a year or even only every two years, however, are only partly adjusted to the characteristics and needs of cloud ecosystems. The challenge is to specify new approaches, processes, and controls in order to reflect the flexibility, dynamics and on demand nature of clouds. Heading for dynamic certification means getting the current status of a cloud ecosystem on demand reflecting compliance rules based for instance on the standards above. A typical question from cloud customers nowadays: “Is the cloud service continuously operating compliant to local data protection laws?” The goal of this workshop is (1) bringing together science, industry, administration and standardisation and (2) elaborating how (abstract) requirements from standards, legislations, and policies can be boiled down to technical means that can be monitored, aggregated, and analysed in a highly dynamic cloud environment in a (half-)automated way. *Topics of interest* • Dynamic Certification • Dynamic Service Level Agreements • Cloud Certificates • Continuous / (Semi-)Automated Monitoring and Auditing • Metrics, Measures, and Methods for Dynamic Certification • Complex Event Processing • Data Confidentiality, Integrity and Authenticity • Certification Transparency • Data Aggregation • Data Analytics • Visualisation of Certification Results • Trust in Certificates *Important Dates* Paper submissions September 18nd, 2014 Notification September 25th, 2014 Camera-ready October 5th, 2014 *Organisers* • Helmut Krcmar, Technical University Munich • Michael Schermann, Technical University Munich • Mario Hoffmann, Fraunhofer AISEC • Ali Sunyaev, University of Cologne *Programme Committee* • Iryna Windhorst, Fraunhofer AISEC • Philipp Stephanow, Fraunhofer AISEC • Niels Fallenbeck, Fraunhofer AISEC • Andreas Weiß, EuroCloud • Bernd Becker, EuroCloud • Stephan Schneider, University of Cologne • Manuel Wiesche, Technical University Munich • Volker Wiedmer, Fujitsu • Joachim Lohmann, Fujitsu • Michael Diepold, AKDB *Submissions* This workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published. Papers should be formatted based on the IEEE Transactions journals and conferences style; maximum allowed camera-ready paper length is six (6) pages. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format, including text, figures and references. Accepted papers will be published in the CloudCom2014 proceedings.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] FW: CFP: Special Issue on "Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems Datum: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 13:55:25 +0200 Von: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> Antwort an: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on "Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems" in IEEE Systems Journal SCOPE Research advances in healthcare domain have facilitated the integration of different technologies for smart, cost-effective, reliable, and pervasive health monitoring of chronic diseases - which have affected around one billion people worldwide. Current research efforts focus on developing real-time communication methods, mostly for Body Area Networks (BANs) that are used to deliver patients΄ information effectively. These efforts are limited to communication within a BAN, however less attention has been given to connect multiple BANs to remote servers in real-time. In addition, there is a limited study on the integration of BANs with different technologies including mobile cloud computing - a technology that may assist in storing and processing the huge amount of BAN data at competitive costs. Machine to Machine (M2M) is also considered to be a valuable tool in delivering BAN data to a remote server/cloud for further analysis. This may assist in reducing risks and cost of remote health monitoring. Unlike conventional research in BANs where researchers focused on individual networks, there is a need to develop innovative communication methods with a focus on complete and smart eHealth systems. This smart eHealth system must integrate the aforementioned technologies with multiple BANs, and provide rich healthcare services to end users. It calls for research on versatile topics ranging from Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to BANs coexistence, traffic characterization, cloud resource allocation, and cloud monitoring and maintenance. This special issue will focus on novel communication methods for smart eHealth systems, by identifying new perspectives and highlight potential research issues and challenges. Specifically, this special issue will demonstrate how the emerging technologies including cloud computing and/or M2M could be used in future healthcare systems. Original review and survey articles will be considered as well. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - M2M communication methods - Energy-efficient PHY/MAC and networking protocols - BANs and mobile cloud computing - Cloud resource allocation and monitoring - Wearable and implantable computing - IoT for smart eHealth systems - Fault tolerance, reliability and scalability - Traffic characterization - Coexistence issues of multiple BANs - Security and privacy - QoS issues in BANs/cloud computing - Experimental and simulation-based methods - Case studies of smart eHealth architectures Papers should address the above specific topics from the system perspective and in the context of eHealth systems in order to be considered for this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original research contributions by following the detailed instructions given in the "Information for Authors" at http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org <http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org/> .
