Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Nov 2011 IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Nov 2011 IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:20:13 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Recent trends in consumer networking are that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities….indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications. Example communications technologies include the emergence of 3G and 4G, LTE and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultrawideband, TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. With these networks we can expect a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/pub_guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: Design and Implementation Series (IEEE Communications Magazine) Datum: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 09:35:44 +0200 Von: Salvatore Loreto <salvatore.loreto(a)ericsson.com> An: mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br Hi there, I want bring your attention to the following Call For Paper in IEEE Communication Magazine cheers /Sal -- Salvatore Loreto www.sloreto.com /IEEE Communications Magazine/ Call for Papers Design and Implementation Series The primary goal of Communications Magazine's Design and Implementation Series of articles is to serve the needs of telecommunications and telephony professionals in industry. Their jobs are often focused on creating products and services that maximize return on investment and that operate robustly across a broad range of environments. Typically, though, engineering represents only a small fraction of the total R&D effort. This is because many other factors must be taken into account that are not considered on the chalkboard or in a proof-of-concept; for example, interoperability, scalability (in both directions), compatibility (in both directions), cost-of-goods, market dynamics, security, effective user interfaces, technical risk, serviceability, manageability, supportability, testability, availability, deployability, recovery, packaging, etc. The ability to design and implement solutions successfully in such a complex environment is gained largely through experience and not through literature searches or collaborations with industry peers. Hence, the Design and Implementation Series seeks articles that provide practical knowledge for creating products and services while retaining the academically rigorous style and structure typical of Communications Magazine articles. You can write about any telecommunications or telephony topic, but we are particularly interested in IP telephony applications and infrastructure, especially in markets where non-traditional providers and vendors compete. Emphasize the factors that contributed to the decision process for your design and implementation, and tell us about the lessons learned, good or bad, from the experience. As much as possible, these decision factors should be generic enough to be applicable broadly to most telephony projects, regardless of their design details, and thus of interest to technologists outside the specialty of the article. *Submission* Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editor before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editors and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SPECIAL ISSUE ON Self-Aware and Adaptive Embedded Systems: Journal of Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems Datum: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:00:33 +0200 Von: Waltenegus Dargie <waltenegus.dargie(a)tu-dresden.de> An: tccc-bounces(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call For Papers - Special Issue *SUBMISSION DUE DATE: May 31, 2011* *SPECIAL ISSUE ON Self-Aware and Adaptive Embedded Systems* International Journal of Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems (IJERTCS) *Guest Editors: * Juha Plosila, University of Turku, Finland Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany *INTRODUCTION:* Self-aware and adaptive (SAA) systems are able to perceive the changes in their status and the surrounding environment, and adapt to these changes to provide an optimal performance. Self-adaptation and self-optimization belong to the broad scope of autonomic computing. In the research community as well as industry, one can observe the emergence of self-aware and adaptive communication and embedded systems in various forms, for instance, massively parallel processing, sensor networks, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). They can be used extensively in different application domains, including consumer electronics, medical applications, smart houses, space applications, and automotive electronics. Properly exploiting self-awareness and adaptation can strongly benefit every major design concern in system development, including cost and yield, power and energy efficiency, dependability and security, as well as design productivity and time-to-market. *OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:* The objective of this special issue of IJERTCS is to bring together innovative works on self-aware and adaptive embedded and communication systems. Articles in different application and system domains, both as research papers and industrial case studies are requested. Works on the design, modeling and analysis from each abstraction level (system, architecture or circuit), as long as they improve our understanding of self-aware and adaptive features and contribute to the development of such systems are welcomed. Survey papers with an enlightening perspective on the technology and a well-justified evaluation of its future are also encouraged. *RECOMMENDED TOPICS:* Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following (in the context of embedded and communication systems): * Theory, specification, modeling and implementation of self-aware and adaptive systems * Parallel and distributed SAA system architectures * Application engineering for SAA Systems * Study of awareness and adaptation for power and energy optimization * Dependability and security issues in SAA systems * Case studies and industrial applications (consumer electronics, medical, automotives, smart houses, space and defense, etc.) * Self-aware and adaptive cyber-physical systems (CPS) in the embedded system context * Wireless sensor networks with self-aware and adaptive features * Formal methods in the design and verification of SAA systems * Survey of state-of-the-art works *SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:* Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special issue /*on or before May 31st, 2011.*/ All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines submission.pdf <http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.p…>.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Workshop Virtualisierung auf GI-Jahrestagung; Verlängerung Einreichungsfrist Datum: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:35:19 +0200 Von: Daniel Versick <daniel.versick(a)uni-rostock.de> An: <wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ======================================================================== Call for Papers Workshop auf der 41. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik VIRTUALISIERUNG - GESTERN, HEUTE, MORGEN TU Berlin, 04.10. - 07.10.2011 http://www.informatik2011.de/ ======================================================================== *** Verlängerung der Einreichungsfrist: 01. Mai 2011 *** Seit Jahren kennen und nutzen wir im Informatik-Umfeld den Begriff Virtualisierung. Die Bedeutung der Virtualisierung in unterschiedlichen Abstraktionsebenen (Prozessorebene, Betriebssystemebene etc.) und innerhalb der verschiedenen Informatik-Disziplinen, wie Hardware- und Software-Virtualisierung, Cloud-Computing, bei Multicore Prozessoren, als Mechanismen zur Verbesserung der Energie-Effizienz und Last- Balancierung u. ä. nimmt stetig zu. Die Vielfältigkeit der Nutzung des Begriffes in den unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Informatik führt zum Problem einer fehlenden präzisen Erfassung des Begriffs Virtualisierung. Es gibt verschiedene Ansätze zur Definition des Begriffs, die sich meist im übergreifenden Sinne auf die Nutzung von Virtualisierung als Abstraktionsschicht physischer Ressourcen in spezifischen Anwendungsbereichen beziehen. Eine allgemeine, eindeutige Definition für die Virtualisierung, die zukünftig zu einer stärkeren Systematisierung der aktuellen F&E-Aktivitäten führen könnte, ist aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen in den Anwendungsbereichen derzeit nur schwer möglich. Ziel dieses Workshops ist es, die innovativen Ansätze und aktuellen Entwicklungen in Verbindung mit Virtualisierungskonzepten zu erfassen, die Möglichkeiten einer Systematisierung zu diskutieren und ihre Bedeutung in der Informatik herauszustellen. Beiträge, die im Rahmen des Workshops vorgestellt werden, können die folgenden Themen umfassen, sind aber nicht auf diese beschränkt: * Virtualisierungsarchitekturen und -methoden in verschiedenen Rechnerarchitekturebenen * Ansätze zur Effizienzsteigerung vorhandener Virtualisierungskonzepte (z. B. Servervirtualisierung, Storage- Virtualisierung und Netzwerkvirtualisierung) * Anwendungen der Virtualisierung, kollektive Virtualisierung * Lastbalancierungs- und Lastaggregierungsverfahren (z. B. Live Migration-Technologien zur dynamischen Servervirtualisierung) * Performanceuntersuchungen virtualisierter Komponenten * Selbstorganisation in virtualisierten Umgebungen * Aspekte der Virtualisierung, die zur Präzisierung des Virtualisierungs- begriffs und Systematisierung von Virtualisierungskonzepten führen Beiträge müssen bis zum 01. Mai anonymisiert über das webbasierte Managementsystem eingereicht werden.
