-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP Workshop on Self-organising, adaptive, and context-sensitive distributed systems (SACS 2013) Datum: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:10:17 +0100 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> Please distribute to your colleagues. *************************************************************** Call for Papers EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Nov 23, 2013 Workshop on Self-organising, adaptive, and context-sensitive distributed systems (SACS 2013) in conjunction with Networked Systems (NetSys) 2013 Stuttgart, Germany, March 11-15, 2013 *************************************************************** Scope ===== Ubiquitous computing has been a strong vision of contemporary computer science for the last decade, initially with respect to its potential for innovative services, but then also considering socio-technical implications. From a technical point of view the management of highly complex, heterogeneous and distributed systems still raises many interesting questions. Self-organisation, autonomous behaviour, and adaptation are important concerns, and the numerous theoretical and prototypical approaches to these challenges still have to prove their value in everyday applications. However, the conception and realisation of these autonomous, adaptive systems cannot be constrained to technical challenges only. How about the usability of such context-aware, adaptive applications outside of the research labs in our real environment? Will they provide new chances for improving life quality in various societal environments? Do we have to put a special focus on societal and also legal implications when these systems are deployed on a broad scale? How do we ensure trust in a complex system that is working outside of our direct influence? SACS 2013 is the first international edition of the successful, previously national workshop series SAKS that started in 2006. The workshop is intentionally directed at a multidisciplinary audience. It will shed light on the wide field of technical, societal, and legal considerations that need to be part of a comprehensive analysis of the state-of-the-art of information technology research in complex, autonomous systems. Whereas the preceding SAKS workshops were mainly intended to provide a forum for German national research activities, we expect this workshop to play a significant part in linking together contributors on an international scale. We especially welcome research papers, reports, and discussion contributions from industry. The workshop program will consist of the presentations of the selected peer reviewed contributions, an invited talk, and a discussion session. Workshop Topics =============== The following list specifies the major fields of interest for this workshop; related topics are certainly welcome. ==== Self-organisation and adaptation from a technical view ==== * Construction and evaluation of self-organising systems * Biologically inspired approaches * Architectures and frameworks for autonomous and ubiquitous systems * Self-organisation in service-oriented architectures * Adaptive applications and middleware * Context models and context processing * Collective sensing, collective awareness, collective intelligence * Design methodologies for personalised, context-sensitive services * Integration of users into the development process for autonomous systems * User-centric design, user interfaces, and usage patterns ==== Social and legal implications in a world of adaptive IT ==== * Trust and reliability for adaptive, context sensitive systems * Society-aware design of adaptive, context sensitive systems * Application domain-specific requirements * Responsibility and liability ==== Self-organisation and adaptation as enabling technologies ==== * Industrial requirements and projects * Research prototypes and experience reports * New value chains, new business / service / provider models Contributions submitted to the workshop will be peer-reviewed and selected according to their quality and suitability for the workshop scope and discussion potential. As we address an international audience, English will be the workshop language.

Call for papers: International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems
by Vincenzo De Florio 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Dear Sirs, dear Madams, please find attached the new description, mission, and call for papers of IJARAS, the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems, established in 2010 and about to issue its fourth yearly volume. For any questions about IJARAS and its Advanced Book Series please contact me through vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio Description The International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) examines systems and organizations characterized by the following two properties: the ability to self-adapt to the characteristics of rapidly changing and turbulent environments by adopting complex individual and social strategies and the ability to control their changes to prevent the invalidation of their original mission statements. The central focus of IJARAS is on modeling, simulating, designing, developing, maintaining, evaluating, and benchmarking such “entelechial systems”. Perception, awareness, and the planning and execution of resilient adaptation behaviors in systems and organizations are central topics of the journal. Such systems range from individual and simple embedded systems with limited perception and predefined specialized behaviors to complex hybrid social organizations like cyber-physical societies or service-oriented communities, whose emerging behaviors are many and, in some cases, difficult to predict. IJARAS focuses on the full spectrum of these problems providing academicians, practitioners, and researchers with awareness and insight on conceptual models, applied and theoretical approaches, paradigms, and other technological innovations on self-adaptive and/or self-resilient systems and organizations of any scale and nature. Mission Society is currently experiencing the increasing population of “things,” able to autonomously link with each other and enact complex strategies to achieve tasks. The emergence of the Semantic Web, the Internet-of-Things, Ambient Intelligence, and cyber-physical societies make it impossible to capture the intricacies of the future highly dynamic and turbulent networks of interrelated computer-based and hybrid components. As such, it is important that systems are designed to self-adapt to changes without diverging from their intended functions as prescribed in their specifications. The mission of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) is to offer awareness and visibility to novel techniques and methods to achieve self-adaptability and self-resilience when systems and organizations are deployed in environments where change is the rule rather than the exception. IJARAS is also a tool to enhance the awareness of the key role played by said techniques and methods: engineering self-adaptive and self-resilient systems and organizations is an urgent necessity to keep society resilient in the face of the technology that sustains it. The journal pursues its mission by addressing researchers, practitioners, engineers, educators, and professionals and by publishing novel results on each of the diverse components of such a complex and multi-disciplinary research problem. Topics Covered Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: - Adaptive data integrity - Adaptive fault-tolerance - Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system’s ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments - Architecture-based adaptation - Autonomic applications - Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics - Biologically inspired mechanisms to enact complex adaptation strategies - Collective strategies for adaptation and resilience, including cooperation, competition, co-opetition, co-innovation, and co-evolution - Complex adaptive-and-resilient systems and organizations - Context- and situation-awareness - Design-time/run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security - Dynamics of complex adaptive and resilient systems and organizations - Human aspects - Evolutionary approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems - Mechanisms to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic, and resilient systems - Methods to express resilience (e.g., resilience policies and contracts) - Perception and introspection capabilities - Personalization - Quality of experience - Recovery-oriented computing - Resilient adaptation behavior composition - Resilient adaptation planning - Resilience and adaptation in management science - Resilience engineering - Role of diversity in the emergence of survivability, innovability, value capture, etc. - Role of organizations on the emergence of adaptation and resilience: heterarchies, holarchies, fractal social organizations, etc. - Scalable, maintainable, and cost-effective provisions located at all system levels to achieve adaptability and dependability - Self-adaptive and self-resilient systems: models, design, development, maintenance, evaluation, and benchmarking issues - Software elasticity: techniques, tools, and approaches to absorb and tolerate the consequences of failures, attacks, and changes within and without system boundaries Submissions and enquiries: - To submit a paper please visit http://www.igi- global.com/authorseditors/titlesubmission/newproject.aspx or send your paper to vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be. - For enquiries please contact the editor in chief through vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be. Advanced Book Series: - An Advances Book Series is now associated with IJARAS: Advances in Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (AARAS). All papers published in IJARAS will also appear (possibly extended) as chapters in the volumes in this series. The first volume of this series is available from March 2012 as "Technological Innovations in Adaptive and DependableSystems: Advancing Models and Concepts" and may be ordered from http://www.igi-global.com/book/technological-innovations-adaptive-dependabl…. A second volume, entitled "Innovations and Approaches for Resilient and Adaptive Systems," is available from September 2012 and may be ordered from http://www.igi-global.com/book/innovations-approaches-resilient-adaptive-sy… For enquiries please contact the editor in chief through vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be.

Emulators represent a family of tools where real and emulated components interact at various levels and scales with external element. Where simulators aim at evaluating the performance and conformity of models, emulators aim at evaluating that of real components and execution environment. The potential of emulators have been acknowledged, notably as complementary approach to field-operational test, and as a validation and integration technique (or methodology) prior to deployment. Emulators have also recently been subject to an increasing interest from practitioners in various fields of research. Yet, emulation tools have experienced only little dedicated visibility from the community to breed inter-disciplinary collaborative research and exchange of ideas in the very specific and challenging methodologies and techniques required by emulator tools or available in major emulation platforms. The workshop therefore aims at providing an interaction environment between academic and industrial researchers along with practitioners in the emulation field. EMUTools proposes to address research challenges in the emulation methodologies, architecture, analysis, applicability, performance, practice and platforms. This event also aims as building a bridge between the simulation and emulation communities to foster collaborative research to address common challenges in the complementary fields of emulation and simulation. We invite submissions of original high quality work in the area of emulation methodology, techniques, tools and applications. We would especially like to emphasize EMUTools' "Student Demo Contest". This year, we are challenging undergraduate and graduate students to show us their latest, coolest, chair-rocking and mind-blowing innovation in an operational demonstration. Go beyond the theoretical limitations and shed off the numerous assumptions about emulation techniques and applications, and present an operational prototype that has the potential to revolutionize the role of emulation tools. EMUTools general area includes but is not limited to: - Emulation methodology: architecture, distributed systems, load-balancing, multi-processor, scalability, cloud, emulation-as-a-service. - Emulation Techniques: multi-granularity, co-emulation/simulation, application, system, protocol or channel emulation. - Emulation Tools: framework, software, platforms, front-end/back-end, and interactions between different simulation and emulation tools. EMUTools invites submissions in all application areas of emulation methodology, tools and techniques. Specific topics include (but are not limited to): - Wireless technologies and access networks (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor networks) - Backbone and core network (LTE, LTE-A, Internet) - Peer-2-Peer and overlay networks - Cloud systems and networks - Parallel and distributed systems, high-performance computing systems - Infrastructure systems (transportation, smart grid) - Intelligent transportation systems - Cyber-physical systems - E-Health - Sensors and M2M networks SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------- We invite the following types of submission: - Full papers up to 10 pages - Short papers up to 6 pages for work-in-progress aspects - Poster and Demo abstracts of 3 pages for demostrations and emerging concepts of emulation platforms.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP for a Special Section on "Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks", IEEE Trans. on Industrial Informatics Datum: Mon, 5 Nov 2012 18:10:05 +0200 Von: Cagri Gungor <cagrigungor(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics CALL FOR PAPERS for a Special Section on "Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks" http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ss/CFP_WirelessSens.pdf Both existing industrial systems and new emerging industrial applications require intelligent and low-cost industrial automation solutions to improve the productivity, safety, and efficiency of such systems. The collaborative intelligence and low-cost nature of industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) brings several advantages over traditional wired industrial monitoring and control systems, including flexibility, self-configuration, rapid deployment, and an inherent intelligent processing capability. To this end, IWSN-based automation systems are increasingly taking advantage of the opportunities presented by information and communication technologies (ICT) to offer new and more effective functions and solutions. The specific constraints of the industrial automation domain on the other hand lead to new requirements towards the dependability – especially reliability, safety and security – of the ICT applied. This Special Section is focused on the development, adoption and application of wireless sensor networks for the industrial environment with its unique requirements. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research themes and technologies: - Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms for Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs), - Quality-of-Service (QoS) Issues and Network Management In IWSNs, - Performance Evaluations and Simulations of IWSNs, - Energy Management and Harvesting in IWSNs, - RF Measurements and Channel Modelling in Industrial Environments, - Resource Management and Scheduling in IWSNs, - Cognitive Communications for Industrial Applications, - Hardware Developments and Platforms for IWSNs and their Impact on Communication Protocols, - Network Integration in Industrial Automation Systems (Heterogeneous Networks, Wired/Wireless) , - Security and reliability of IWSN applications, - Advances in technologies for implementing IWSNs, - Standards and Regulations for IWSNs, - Field Tests and Pilot Projects. The use of industrial wireless sensor networks opens up new application areas. Examples include, but are not limited to: - Smart Manufacturing, Web-of-Things in the Factory Line, - Home and Building Automation, - Management of Infrastructure, such as Utilities and Road Networks, - Intelligent Vehicle/Transport Systems, such as Traffic/Congestion Management, - Safety and Security, - Assisted Living/Citizen Well-being - Smart Grids and Smart Metering. Papers discussing new application areas and the resulting developments at the interface of information and communication technologies and these application environments are welcome. Results obtained by simulations must be validated by experiments or analytical results.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 20 December deadline - Springer TSJ Special issue on Critical Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc/Sensor Network Datum: Mon, 5 Nov 2012 15:52:50 +0800 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for multiple copies]* Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems, Springer * *Special Issue on Critical Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc/Sensor Networks URL:* http://staff.iium.edu.my/sakib/CFP_VSN_TSJ2012.pdf *Theme and Scope * For the past few decades, Vehicular ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a key technology serving community of peoples in various applications. During this era, there has been a tremendous growth in this field with many new techniques and standards have been developed for the ease and safety of the passengers. Now, the passengers during travelling can take smart decisions by knowing the outside environment variables such as traffic conditions, density of the vehicles in a particular region, duration of traffic lights in a particular areas, etc. Moreover, these passengers can download and upload the heavy contents while travelling with the aid of the already deployed Road Side Unit (RSUs) which are connected to Internet to provide various services to the end users. Modern Vehicles equipped with sensor nodes monitor and collect the data in sparse and dense regions which can be processed for the benefit of community of peoples, e.g., health monitoring and diagnostic systems, safety alarms, intelligent transport systems, and environment monitoring. The vehicles during movement, equipped with sensor nodes, can also collect the data from human body and that data can be processed in collaboration with the other vehicles for various medical purposes. In this case, VANETs can also be used in Body Sensor Networks (BSNs). However, as a new technology emerges, it throws new challenges to the research community. Although there exist many solutions of different kinds in the relevant areas, there is still a requirement of more efficient solutions which can be used in wide variety of applications. Many industrial and academic institutions have already geared up to provide solutions for the benefits of the community. Moreover, there are many constraints that have to be resolved before providing any standard solution. Some examples of the constraints are; mobility of the nodes, connectivity in sparse and dense regions, failure of nodes, network traffic congestion and interference, etc. Submission is solicited from researchers across the globe in the following issues (but not limited to these): - Efficient route selection in sparse and dense regions in presence of mobility of the nodes - Optimized cluster selection on the road - Optimized access point deployment for better coverage and uninterrupted services to all the vehicles on the road - Security during the data dissemination - Cache management for peer to peer (P2P) information sharing - Load balancing in VANET/Sensor networks - Optimized Service selection and resource discovery - Providing QoS to various services - Solutions to various critical applications such as health monitoring system, safety alarms etc. - Channel allocation and selection in VANETs *Submission Guidelines* Authors can see manuscript preparation guideline here: http://www.springer.com/business+%26+management/business+information+system… Authors are required to submit papers as an all-in-one PDF file to any of the Guest Editors (CC to all is preferred). Please note in the subject line of the email, "SI_VSN_2012”. Papers would be judged by the expert reviewers based on the originality, methodology, novelty, and new innovations.
