-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] due on 6/1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 13:18:58 +0800 Von: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [ Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Due date for the next issue: June 1, 2013 IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: * Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, robustness, and stability * Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, LTE, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, and consumer handhelds * Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes * Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services * Network lab testing and field testing * Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds * Evaluating false positive and negative of network security * Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Network Testing Series." Articles to be considered for publication in the September 2013 issue must be submitted by December 1, 2012. Since this is a regular series, papers can be submitted at any time for consideration for subsequent issues.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network - SI on Open Source for Networking: Development and Experimentation Datum: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 02:48:52 +0800 Von: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> First call for papers DUE: August 1, 2013 IEEE Network Special Issue on “Open Source for Networking: Development and Experimentation” Open source plays an increasingly important role in the software and communications industries. For example, open source implementations are widely available for most of Internet protocols, from TCP/IP in kernel space (such as Linux, Android and BSD-based systems), down to MAC/PHY in hardware such as Ethernet and WLAN transceivers, and up to applications in user space such as WWW clients, servers and proxies. Open sourced applications are arguably becoming more prevalent than proprietary closed software. Hundreds of open source networking packages have played important roles in our daily life. The same open source spirit also goes to the development platforms for simulation, rapid prototyping, software defined radio, and software defined networking (with ns-3, NetFPGA, GNU radio and OpenFlow being examples in each category respectively). This special issue aims to provide a platform for sharing experiences on developing network-related open sources from various aspects for a diverse community of professionals from academia, industry and independent hackers. Solicited articles include works reporting development experiences, experimental studies, and enhancement works on important or new packages. Open source packages of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: § Development platforms: ns-3 (network simulator), NetFPGA (rapid prototyping), OpenFlow (software defined networking), GNU radio (software defined radio) § Utilities: Wireshark (packet sniffer), NIST Net (WAN emulator) § Hardware: DES/AES (crypto), OFDM and MIMO (modulation) § Protocol stacks: TCP/IPv4/IPv6 (Linux- and BSD-based protocol stacks), bridging, drivers, socket, tc (traffic control for Linux), ipfw/dummynet (traffic control for FreedBSD and Linux) § Daemon and library: Zebra, Quagga, Xorp (routing), RTP/RTCP library (real-time protocol) § Network security: Snort (IDS), IPsec (VPN), Netfilter and iptables (TCP/IP firewall), FWTK (application firewall), ClamAV (anti-virus), SpamAssassin (anti-spam), Nessus (vulnerability scanner) § Network applications: bind (DNS), qmail (Mail), apache (HTTP), Darwin (Streaming), Bit Torrent (P2P), Diaspora (social networking) Submission With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/netmag/paper-submission-guidelines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: ACM CHANTS 2013 (co-located with ACM MobiCom) Datum: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 20:05:17 +0000 Von: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fb375(a)CAM.AC.UK> Antwort an: fehmi.ben-abdesslem(a)cl.cam.ac.uk An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2013 - 8th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2013 September 30-October 4, Miami, Florida, USA www.acm-chants.org/13 ______________________________________________________________________ SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet protocol architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks also find application in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. This workshop builds on the success of the seven previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: • Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) • Opportunistic communication and computing • Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks • Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols • Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks • Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use • Applications for challenged networks (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management, vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowd-sourcing, sensor networks) • Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks • Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments • Network science methods for challenged networks • Mobile data offloading and content-centric approaches via challenged networks • Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems • Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks • Applications of challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life • Mobile cloud solutions in challenged networks Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop, including a keynote speaker and a panel. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work are encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements.
