The twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to the topic. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial communication, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Quality of cloud services and cloud computing * Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy * System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; * Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation * Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware * QoS parsing, identification and control * Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification * Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management * Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * Energy awareness in communication systems * Design for the Future Internet PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES _____________________________________________ IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

21 Nov '11

Dear Sirs, please let me direct your attention to the call for papers for the new issue of IJARAS -- the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. Please accept my apologies should you receive multiple copies of this message. Kind regards,Vincenzo De Florio. ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* *** Vol.4 No.2, Vol.4 No.3 *** SUBMISSION DUE DATES: December 9, 2011 (Vol.4 No.2), February 8, 2012 (Vol.4 No.3). International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS)Official publication of the Information ResourcesManagement Associationwww.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief:Vincenzo De Florio, Ph.D. - University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgiumvincenzo.deflorio(a)gmail.com Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board:- Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS & IBBT, Belgium- Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy- Llorenc Cerda-Alabern - Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya - Spain- Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples- Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy- Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland- Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil- Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy- Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland- Konrad Klockner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany- Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy- Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia- Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany- Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy- Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK- Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium- Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS:Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction---athesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, analyze, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Robustness, or the emergence of desired properties throught system evolution. In particular, emergence of safety; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express and assess evolvability; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems.

Held in conjunction with WiOpt 2012. ================================================================= http://spaswin.org/ The performance of wireless networks depends critically on the spatial configuration of the transmitters, receivers and relaying nodes. As a result, the modeling of such networks requires methods and tools from point process theory, stochastic geometry and random graph theory. The art of modeling wireless networks is strongly multi-disciplinary, combining these spatial, stochastic tools with information and communication theory, networking theory, combinatorics, and game theory. SpaSWiN is the first workshop specifically devoted to the use of spatial stochastic models for improved design of wireless networks. Building on the success of the seven previous venues of the workshop: in Riva del Garda (2005), Boston (2006), Limassol (2007), Berlin (2008), Seoul (2009), Avignon (2010) and Princeton (2011), the goal of SpaSWiN 2012 is to bring together researchers from the various disciplines involved in spatial models of wireless communications. Please join us in Paderborn, Germany on May 14, 2012. Call for papers --------------- The technical program committee is soliciting contributions that employ spatial stochastic models - including, but not limited to, point processes, stochastic geometry, discrete and continuum percolation, and random graphs - to design and analyze wireless networks. All aspects and technologies of wireless networking will be considered, including (but not limited to): ad hoc, cellular, mesh, sensor, mobile, hybrid, and two-tier networks; models for coverage, connectivity, capacity, delay, energy efficiency; distributed routing and scheduling protocols and algorithms; network information theory; power and topology control; mobility models. Authors are invited to submit titles and extended abstracts. Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in length, including figures, appendix and bibliography. Abstracts should be formatted in two columns with a point size greater or equal to 10pt. Submissions will be done electronically in Adobe PDF format.

Mavromoustakis <mavromoustakis.c(a)unic.ac.cy> Organisation: University of Nicosia An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory/Elsevier Special Issue on Simulation-based Performance Evaluation of Infrastructures for the Internet of Things: Connectivity and resource considerations in the mobility Era Call for Papers ---------------- Smart wireless devices that are configured to communicate in a Mobile Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) manner will be soon able to have integrated features hosting all kinds of daily needs’ applications, in a 3A (Anything, Anytime, Anywhere) reliable configuration, and interact with one another using multiplatform applications. These advancements create the need of the development of a supportive infrastructure and network architecture that will enable the realization of the Internet of Things (IoT) which will be able to host real-time applications in a resource and energy efficient reliable way. The IoT realizes its potential in the context of a global communications platform that can be used by millions of independent devices co-operating together in large or small combinations, and in shared or separated federations. It involves connected embedded-devices such as sensors, home appliances, weather stations and even movable objects (such as toys, wearable devices-objects etc) to Internet Protocol (IP)-based networks. This Special Issue addresses the trend in both science and industry for smart embedded devices (smart objects) to become IP-enabled, as well as the latest frontier of the Internet, consisting of wireless low-power embedded devices-called the Wireless Embedded Internet. It also targets the development and implementation of new fundamental architectures for the efficient support of IoT technologies, where many resource limitations can be faced and various network mechanisms will be optimized by providing new middleware architectures that will face application-specific issues. Additionally the Special Issue aims to present novel middleware architectures and techniques for optimizing the power consumption, connectivity and reliability aspects, as well as aims to propose new models for capacity and data flow management for providing sufficient end-to-end resource management. Performance evaluation can be performed using simulation in order to evaluate the performance under different efficiency angles. With modeling and simulation the dynamically changing IoT environments, can be further analyzed and explored by utilizing computational and mathematical techniques, while creating a model construct of a conceptual framework that describes an IoT system. Topics ------- The list of topics for this special issue includes: -Network and system architectures of IoT -IoT infrastructures -Reflective and flexible application specific middleware for the IoT -Short-range Communications for IoT -Sensor networking technologies for IoT -Access network technologies for IoT -Cross-layer optimization for supportive IoT efficient resource sharing -Energy efficiency issues and schemes -Resource Management for the IoT support systems -Middleware supportive architectures -Design and evaluation of new IoT processes and/or Algorithms. -Performance improvement of existing IoT algorithms and/or reliability techniques and configurations -Semantic resource management Algorithms and techniques -Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT -IPv6 over low-power wireless area networks (6LoWPAN) support in the IoT domain -Embedded Architectures, Techniques and Algorithms that face the scarceness and availability of wireless resources -Data-synchronisation for offline support and resource availability -Application-specific resource management (RFID implementation, MP2P resource availability) -Smart Grid and the IoT infrastructures -Theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation the IoT including modelling new techniques for performance-oriented design methods -Novel techniques in computer system simulation for the IoT -Cloud Computing and IoT convergence -IoT and the Grid and any supportive concept for a future architecture of the Internet of Things Guest Editors ---------------- Prof. Helen Karatza Department of Informatics Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 54124 Thessaloniki Greece Tel. : +30 (2310) 997974 Fax : +30 (2310) 998419 Email: karatza(a)csd.auth.gr Dr. Constandinos X.
