However, the organizing and steering committees are monitoring the evolution of the situation at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. While there does not currently seem to be any indication that the conference may not be held safely in Tokyo in December, the committees are aware of the concerns, and ready to take appropriate actions if necessary. In early May, the organizing committee surveyed recent CoNEXT attendees on the subject of the situation in Japan. Results are available at http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2011/survey-results.pdf . Based on community feedback along with assessments by various authorities, the organizing and steering committees have decided that the conference will go on as planned in Tokyo. Thanks to all who participated in the survey for their feedback. ================================================================= The 7th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (ACM CoNEXT) will be held in Tokyo.

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/future Special Issue on "Management of Cloud Systems" The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality because of the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). At the current stage, after the initial hype of enthusiasm, several ongoing research efforts are deeply focusing on the open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to enable and boost a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite several recent provisioning of Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions can withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services de/activation and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The mission of this Special Issue is to put on the foreground all the above issues and to disseminate the latest research result in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in management of Cloud systems. Along that direction, this special issue will collect a mix of extended and updated versions of papers recently presented at the international Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011), and of other papers submitted from this open call. In particular, all the authors of papers accepted for inclusion in the MoCS’11 proceedings are invited to submit extended versions of their workshop papers; in addition, we are asking for high-quality papers (from open call) reporting original research results. Contributions should present practical experiences of system design/prototy- ping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost- effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centers (intra-/inter-domain); * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies; * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings. Submission process: Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/ find/journaldescription.cws_home/505611/authorinstructions Manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a similar version of the paper has been published in a conference, including MoCS’11, the submitted version should contain significant additions/enhancements; in that case, authors are requested to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Potential authors are encouraged to submit original and unpublished work through the submission system at the journal website: http://ees.elsevier.com /fgcs/.

Suitable architectures must be identified for communication, security, billing, accounting, etc. Moreover, adequate solutions should be designed to make the communication secure (authentication, encryption, etc.). The networks that we foresee for IoT are no longer bound to be sensor islands and diverse physical layer technologies and processing capabilities may differ across the nodes composing a IoT. The application scenarios for IoT are extremely appealing and with a strong potential for societal impact, ranging from smart buildings to smart energy grids, where structures can be controlled for energy frugality, while guaranteeing good performance in terms of comfort, security, etc. Major researches as well as industrial efforts are currently ongoing for all these issues. However, most of them remain open areas of research.

INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2011 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom 2011) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.

The Workshop will be a full day event. Continuing the great success of the previous events, WMCNT 2011 Workshop is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world. Overview ======== Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MMFI 2011 CFP Datum: Thu, 05 May 2011 12:02:55 +0200 Von: Nguyen Thi Mai Trang <Thi-Mai-Trang.Nguyen(a)lip6.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ****************************** Call for Papers First International Workshop on Multi-homing and Mobility for the Future Internet (MMFI) http://phare.lip6.fr/mmfi2011/ Satellite workshop of the GIIS conference August 4-6, 2011, Da Nang, Viet Nam (http://www.giis2011.org/GIIS2011/index.htm) **************************** Today's mobile terminals are equipped with more than one network interface such as Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, Wi-Max and Ethernet. The variety of access technologies offer users a great deal of flexibility to connect to the Internet. Multi-homing and mobility are becoming the focal point in protocol design. Mobility support allows users to be constantly connected, even when they are on the go. Multi-homing utilizes resources from the available interfaces in an efficient manner. Depending on the access technology associated with each interface, a mobile host can be connected to the Internet by an infrastructure network or through an ad-hoc network. Many protocols have been proposed for mobility and multi-homing support. Mobile IP, vertical handover and cross-layer design are mainly proposed for mobility in infrastructure-based networks. Multipath TCP, Stream Control Transmission Protocol, Multiple Care-of-Address registration, Level 3 Multi-homing Shim Protocol for IPv6 are solutions for multi-homing. Routing protocols are the major means to provide mobility in ad-hoc networks. In designing protocols for the future Internet, we will need to take into account not only mobility and multi-homing requirements, but also their potential impact on quality of service, resiliency and security of the communications. The workshop is an opportunity for researchers working on multi-homing and/or mobility for the future Internet to present scientific results, exchange experiences and highlight future directions. The main topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Multi-homing protocols at transport and network layers - Mobility management architecture and protocols - Performance evaluation of multi-homing and mobility management protocols - Impacts of multi-homing and mobility on Quality-of-Service - Security issues related to multi-homing and mobility - Cross-layer design for multi-homing and mobility support - Management of horizontal and vertical handovers - Algorithms for multi-homing and mobility management - Algorithms for interface selection - Algorithms for bandwidth aggregation and performance optimization - Mobility support in infrastructure mode and ad-hoc mode and their relationships - Ad-hoc or mesh networks as a new type of access networks Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the MMFI workshop. Important dates: Paper submission: May 25, 2011 Author notification: June 21, 2011 Camera-ready due: July 1, 2011 Author registration deadline: July 1, 2011 Submission instructions: The MMFI workshop follows the formatting guidelines of the GIIS conference with a maximum paper length of 6 pages (4-5 pages are recommended).
