It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged. Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website - http://edas.info/N11047 The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CFP: MMSJ special issue on Network and Systems Support for Games Datum: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:19:11 +0200 Von: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Antwort an: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Call for Papers: Springer Multimedia Systems Journal (MMSJ) Special Issue on Network and Systems Support for Games URL: http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~shervin/netgamessi/ Computer games, now a very profitable economic sector and subject to both academic and industry research, continue to grow in popularity at a substantial rate. Multiplayer networked games, which enable hundreds of thousands of players to simultaneously interact with each other, are now widely used not just for entertainments, but also for socializing, business, commerce, scientific experimentation, and many other practical purposes. The NPD Group reports that 59% of total US population (ages 2 years old and higher) play games, with 56% of them doing so online, leading to almost one third of the population playing online games, while DFC Intelligence forecasts the total number of gamers in the twenty leading online game countries to increase 51% by 2011 compared to 2006. The statistics for mobile gaming are equally impressive: it is estimated that 78.6 million people in the U.S. alone played mobile games in 2009, and downloads of mobile games increased tenfold compared to 2003. Literally millions of people spend their time and money in game worlds such as World of Warcraft, which now hosts more than 12 million subscribers with a peak of 500,000 players online at a given time, or Entropia Universe, which holds the number 1 and number 2 record for the most expensive “virtual” real estate sold for real money, each over US$300,000 per virtual property. As these online games become more popular and significant contributors to Internet traffic, research needs to be devoted to manage and support the emerging massiveness, its traffic on the network, and the users’ quality of experience. In this special issue, we focus on multiplayer games and cover scientific, engineering, and research topics in systems and networking support to enable such games. Submissions are solicited on all aspects of networked games, including (but not limited to): - Scalability, cloud support, client-server, and P2P system architectures - Efficient message distribution and network protocol design - Latency issues and lag compensation techniques - Network traffic modeling, measurement, and impact on network infrastructure - System benchmarking, performance evaluation, and provisioning - Operating system enhancements, service platforms, and middleware - Massively Multiplayer Online Gaming (MMOG) - Multiplayer usability and user behavior studies - Personal communications and conferencing in games - Mobile games, resource-constrained systems, and context-based adaptation - Networks of sensors, actuators, and haptics for games - Quality of service, quality of experience, and content adaptation - Dynamic and user-generated content authoring and management - Content creation: non-linear storytelling, object capturing, algorithmic creation - Security, authentication, accounting, and digital rights management - Cheat detection and prevention - Social networking in multiplayer games ---- Submission Instructions ---- Authors must follow the formatting and submission instructions of MMSJ at http://www.springer.com/computer/information+systems+and+applications/journ… and follow the "Submit Online" link on that page. Please make sure you mention in your cover letter that you are submitting to this special issue. If the submission is an extended version of a previously published workshop or conference paper, this should also be explicitly mentioned in the cover letter, the published paper must be cited in the submitted journal paper, and the submitted journal paper must technically extend the conference version, by 30% according to MMSJ rules; i.e., the technical contribution in the journal version must be extended beyond what was presented in the conference version. ---- Important Dates ---- Submission deadline: November 15, 2011 First round notification: January 15, 2012 ---- Guest editors ---- Shervin Shirmohammadi, University of Ottawa, Canada Carsten Griwodz, Simula Research Laboratory, Norway Grenville Armitage, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia ############################ To unsubscribe from the MM-INTEREST list: write to: mailto:MM-INTEREST-SIGNOFF-REQUEST@LISTSERV.ACM.ORG or click the following link: http://listserv.acm.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ACMLPX.EXE?SUBED1=MM-INTEREST&A=1

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Magazine - Special Issue on Machine and Robotic Networking (May 2012) Datum: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:06:07 +0900 (KST) Von: Jung Min Park<millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ======================================= Call for Papers Special Issue on "Machine and Robotic Networking" IEEE Network Magazine =================================================== The advances in communication networking technologies have been very successful in academia, industry and consumer markets. “Being connected” becomes an essential part of our daily life. Recently, we have been also observing that the communication distance between transmitters and receivers shrinks in many commercial applications. This includes sensor/RFID networks, WiFi and near field communication (NFC) devices. Such shortened distance is mostly caused by the high volume of data demand of users. One other reason is that the modern communications is not any more for human-to-human (H2H) information exchange only but also for machine-to-machine (M2M) or machine-to-human (M2H). The inter-machine distance will be gradually decreasing in many upcoming applications. This trend adds complexity to the communication protocols with very high node density and unpredictable interference in particular in wireless networks. The machine in M2M or M2H refers to various devices from remote metering modules to vehicles or small networked robots with communication functions embedded. M2M applications and use cases currently under consideration by ETSI, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and IEEE are mainly focused on stationary nodes (machines) or at least control of node mobility is out of scope of M2M applications. However, the controllable node mobility willconstitute a core part of M2M communications. Robotic networks will belong to this class of M2M, where the position of nodes can be changed to meet the needs of M2M applications. Independently, in the automatic control and robotics community, there has been special interest in connecting multiple robots for effectively achieving the common mission of a group of autonomous robots. This area is known as networked robotics. The main background of this approach is that connecting robots with less intelligence would be more beneficial than a single isolated robot with full intelligence. In particular, there have been a group of researchers focusing on the behaviours of small animals to mimic their grouping patterns such as group navigation and communications. This special issue is dedicated to fundamentals and applications in the machine and robotic networks. The main emphasis is to introduce and to open new research horizon to the networking researchers. Those who are currently investigating protocols for inter-machine data exchange or designing a group of networked machines (including robots) are potential authors for this special issue. The comprehensive survey and forecasting of this inter-disciplinary area with deep insight on research challenges and business opportunities are also seriously considered. The special issue encourages authors to submit their papers on the specific areas, which are not strictly limited to the followings, though: ·Networking protocol design for machine and robotic networks ·Distributed algorithm design for machine and robotic networks ·Resource management for machine and robotic networks ·Networked robots with special emphasis on networking and distributed computing ·Capacity issues in machine and robotic networks ·Mobility issues in machine and robotic networks ·Cognitive machine and robotic networks ·Bio-inspired networking in robotics ·Design and application issues in M2M and networked robots ·Business models and use cases for M2M and networked robots The interested authors are expected to submit their papers confirming to the guidelines ofIEEENetwork, http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html according to the following schedule: All paper processing will be through an online system, which will be announced later.

A Mobile ad hoc network (Manet) is a system of wireless mobile nodes dynamically self organizing in arbitrary and temporary network topologies. People and vehicles can thus be internetworked in areas without a pre-existing communication infrastructure, or when the use of such infrastructure requires wireless extension. Therefore, such networks are designed to operate in widely varying environments, from military networks (with hundreds of nodes) to low-power sensor networks and other embedded systems. Dynamic topologies, Bandwidth constraints, Energy-constrained operations, Wireless vulnerabilities, and limited physical security are among the characteristics that differentiate Mobile ad hoc networks from fixed multihop networks. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CFP: ACM MMSys 2012 - one month to deadline Datum: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 08:53:34 +0200 Von: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Antwort an: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ACM Multimedia Systems 2012 (MMSys 2012) Call For Papers February 22-24, 2012 Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA http://www.mmsys.org Important Dates: * September 19, 2011: Submission Deadline * November 1, 2011: Notification Date We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the 3rd ACM Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held Feb. 22-24, 2012 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. MMSys provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. MMSys is your avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PAM 2012: CALL FOR PAPERS Datum: Tue, 16 Aug 2011 09:35:10 +0200 Von: Antonio Pescape' <pescape(a)unina.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAM 2012: CALL FOR PAPERS -- Second Announcement ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Passive and Active Measurement (PAM) Conference 2012 VIENNA, AUSTRIA, MARCH 12-14, 2012 http://pam2012.ftw.at/ The PAM conference has in the past focused on research and practical applications of network measurement and analysis techniques. However this year PAM is broadening its scope based upon numerous trends in this area. The scope of network measurements today goes well beyond the traditional Layer-3 and encompasses measurements in any type of networked environment --- 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. Measurements technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. In recognition of these trends, PAM is encouraging submission on a broad set of 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. PAM seeks to bring together both the research and operation communities, and encourages submission of early stage research. 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 and networked applications • Measurements of social networks, game networks and networked services at large. • Correlating measurements across multiple layers • Combining measurements from a network and end-terminals • Measurement oriented to End-user Perception and Quality of Experience • Measurements for Security and Privacy • Distributed and Inter-domain measurements • Network and System Troubleshooting using Measurements • Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability • Measurement technology for software-based routers • Assessing Data Center Networks and Cloud Services • Measurements in Home Networks • Measurement Visualization • Deployment and operation of Measurement Infrastructure • New Measurement Initiatives • Reassessing Previous Measurement Methodology and Results • Performance Metrics and Traffic Analysis • Measurement Data Management Important Dates: Abstract Submission: September 7, 2011 Paper Submission: September 14, 2011 Notification: November 22, 2011 Camera Ready due: December 22, 2011 Organizers General Chair Fabio Ricciato, FTW and University of Salento Program Chair Nina Taft, Technicolor Research, Palo Alto (USA) Local Arrangements Chair Philipp Svoboda, TU Wien Publicity Chair Antonio Pescapè, University of Napoli Federico II ------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio Pescape' Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica University of Napoli ''Federico II'' Via Claudio, 21 - 80125, Napoli (Italy) [Room n. 3.10] tel. +39 081 7683856 - fax +39 081 7683816 e-mail : pescape(a)unina.it (or pescape(a)ieee.org) Personal web-page: http://wpage.unina.it/pescape Teaching web-site (in Italian): http://www.docenti.unina.it/antonio.pescape _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CCNC 2012 - SS IDVN CFP Datum: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 11:08:16 -0400 Von: Chennikara-Varghese, Jasmine <jchennik(a)telcordia.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.] ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS -- NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 30, 2011 Special Session on Information Dissemination in Vehicular Networks IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference 2012 Jan 14 - 17, 2012 * Las Vegas, NV, USA www.ieee-ccnc.org/2012 ============================================================ This session will focus on state-of-the-art technologies for information dissemination in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) networks. There is growing interest in using V2V or V2I communications to enable ITS (Intelligent Transport System) services which can range from time-critical safety services, traffic management, to infotainment and local advertising services. How to effectively and efficiently disseminate information in a timely and reliable manner is critical to ITS services. However, the unique characteristics of vehicle networks present challenges in achieving service performance. Applicable information dissemination technologies may include delay tolerant approaches, data aggregation methods and routing schemes to mitigate congestion on the wireless medium, maintain network connectivity and improve overall communication performance. The impact and significance of such technologies for varying degrees of V2V and V2I connectivity and for va rying deployment scenarios are also critical. This session seeks to provide a forum to present and discuss original relevant research results. Authors are invited to submit regular technical papers or position papers. The position papers should present novel technologies at an early stage of development or share future vision. All the submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Please submit the paper through EDAS. NEW Submission deadline: Aug 30, 2011 Acceptance notification: September 15, 2011 Camera-ready version: September 30, 2011 Submissions for the Special Sessions are subject to the same rules, guidelines and peer review as all other papers.
