Online social networks are among the most popular sites on the Web and continue to grow rapidly. Online social networks provide mechanisms for establishing online identities and creating relationships. The resulting social graph provides a network for maintaining social relationships and for locating content, with the potential of changing computer systems and applications, for example, by providing new means to publish and find content as well as new ways to reason about trust. The workshop complements the topics of the main EuroSys conference, since the research issues with online social networks span the topics of distributed computing, databases, and storage systems as well as security and privacy. This workshop will focus on the systems issues of online social networks. Broadly, a systems issue of social networks comprises three main areas: 1. Infrastructure support for social networks (including distributed systems, databases, and storage systems). 2. Ways of leveraging social networks in systems design. 3. Measurement and analysis of existing deployed social networks. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Management and querying of large social graphs. • Graph query engines and query optimization for online processing. • Support for consistency among concurrent readers and writers to a large distributed social graph. • Partitioning large social graphs. • Data storage and organization. • Benchmarking, modeling, and workload characterization. • Crawlers and other mechanisms for observing social network structure. • Experiences with deployed systems. • Leveraging social network properties in systems design. • Issues of privacy and security. • Tools for designing and deploying social networks. • Application programming interfaces for social networks. • System support for social analytics and network dynamics. • Methods for integrating multiple networks. • Performance measurement and analysis of online social networks systems.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization
by Lars Wolf 24 Nov '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization Datum: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:11:33 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Wired and Wireless Network Virtualization The Internet is the critical element in future global ICT strategy. However, the way the current Internet is managed and the way it provides services cannot match the fast changing and more demanding requirements imposed by user-end applications. Network virtualisation, coupled with an effective and efficient approach to manage virtualised resources, is increasingly regarded as a promising key candidate solution to the problem. However, the diversity of the network structures, protocols and standards in networks, which is further complicated by the high-speed, content-rich, burst-type natures of the future network traffic, poses big challenges on system design and protocol engineering of virtualized networks. This Special Issue expects to address network virtualization issues related to end-to-end transmission of information, starting from user devices (including mobile devices), going through access networks (including both wireless networks such as WiFi/WiMAX/3G/LET/etc and wired networks such as PONs), and then traversing through fixed core networks (IP/MPLS/WDM), arriving at the other side of access before eventually reaching the other side of the user device. Paper can address any individual network (and even device) along this chain or a combination of them (i.e., converged networks). It is at the author's disposal as to which particular network technology to choose (or even an abstract one) for virtualization. Both node virtualization (such as soft access point), link virtualization or a combination of both can be addressed. The goal of this SI is to highlight and systematically address the challenges arising from network virtualization. The collection of the articles in this SI will create a forum for researches, developers and practitioners from both academia and industry to publish the key results and to disseminate the state-of-the-art concepts and techniques in all aspects of network virtualization. This SI will also serve as a stimulus to educate about, promote and accelerate technological evolution toward network virtualization. Specifically, the special issue will present tutorials, survey and original research articles (written in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists) that cover the following subjects (but are not limited to): - Network virtualization issues across various network technologies including optical/MPLS core networks, IP core networks, fixed broadband access network technologies - Individual network virtualization techniques for nodes and/or links - Virtual network system modelling and performance analysis - Mapping algorithms from virtual resources to physical resources and the corresponding signalling protocols - Resource allocation, scheduling, mobility management and Quality-of-Service assurance in virtualized network - Billing issues in virtualized networks - Energy efficiency/green issues - Virtual network management and adaptation - Testing and evaluation tools - Prototype systems and real-world deployment experiences Manuscript 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://dl.comsoc.org/ni/. Authors should submit their manuscripts through ScholarOne for IEEE Network Magazine.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] U-NET 2012 submission deadline in one week (Nov. 30) Datum: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:11:35 +0100 Von: Fikret Sivrikaya <Fikret.Sivrikaya(a)dai-labor.de> An: 'tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third IEEE Workshop on User-Centric Networking (U-NET 2012) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in conjunction with ICC 2012, Ottawa, Canada, June 10-15, 2012 http://uloop.eu/unet2012 Wireless technologies have been used mostly as last-hop of fixed networks. In the last years the inherent flexibility of wireless technologies is giving rise to new types of technologies that allow networking functions to be deployed by the action of the end-user, for instance as a virtual Internet service operator. However, the potential of this new set of user-centric networking technologies has not been explored in terms of new Internet horizons and potential business opportunities, or in terms of pervasive network experience and social interaction. The Workshop is dedicated to the debate of challenges and opportunities concerning user-centric networking technologies, which allow end-users to cooperate by sharing network services and resources. This set of technology may empower the end-user as a new Internet stakeholder and not just as a consumer and producer of content. User-centric networking technologies can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, encompassing: i) sharing subscribed broadband Internet access; ii) provide support for a better Internet connectivity; iii) allow the usage of communication services even in the absence of a reliable Internet access; iv) assistive networking services based on user involvement for the detection and repair of communication problems. The new role of an empowered end-user is disruptive in several aspects, namely: i) in what concerns the end-to-end Internet paradigm, since end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network; ii) in terms of regular network boundaries of trust, which need to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior; iii) while handling intermittent Internet connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas related to user-centric networking technologies, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols and new components that integrate into a future Internet architecture. We encourage submissions of full papers describing highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. We also encourage the submission of poster papers presenting a set of architectural agreements and disagreements about the role of user-centric networking. To be accepted, poster papers must meet the same quality criteria as traditional papers. The workshop covers all aspects related to the current and future user-centric networking technologies including, but not limited to, the following: * Impact on access networks * Impact on Internet architectures * New Internet connectivity models * Trust models, incentives to share network services and resources * Resource management in spontaneous networks * Human behavior and mobility patterns * Self-organization in dynamic wireless networks * Cooperative networking * Opportunistic networking * Community detection and social networking aspects * Security, traceability, confidentiality, non-reputation, identity management * Low-cost and energy-efficient technologies Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references), through EDAS: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11479. Important Dates: - Paper Submission: Nov 30, 2011 - Acceptance Notification: Jan 31, 2012 - Final Version: Mar 31, 2012 - Workshop Date: June 10-15, 2012 Accepted papers must be registered and presented at the workshop by one of the authors. All papers selected for publication will be published together with IEEE ICC 2012 proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore database. This CFP is also available at http://uloop.eu/unet2012/cfp.html.

The integration of heterogeneous networks in multi-access and multi-operator environment is revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be ³Always Best Connected² (ABC) so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained. Topics CONWIRE 2012 will collect latest research ideas and issues on the convergence among heterogeneous wireless systems in Future Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Wireless Network Architectures * Middleware for wireless converged networks. * Wireless Convergence in Future Internet Initiatives (e.g. FIRE, GENI etc) * IP-based Mobility Management * Efficient Handover Algorithms and RRM in heterogeneous wireless networks * Cross-Layer Schemes * Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization techniques * Wireless network testbeds and applications * QoE in wireless converged networks Contribution format The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development.
