Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or WiFi as well as long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision avoidance and safety warnings), efficiency applications (e.g., real-time traffic congestion and routing information), and other commercial or public authority applications (high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The ACM VANET 2011 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics, which are related to vehicular networking applications, services, and systems. Beyond systems that are integrated into vehicles, the workshop scope includes, e.g., vehicle- or traffic-related smartphone applications. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such as the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from USDOT projects, and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Furthermore, vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like ISO TC204, IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), and SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the large-scale Safety Pilot in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE-F in France. The Eighth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking (ACM VANET 2011) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, liability issues, standardizations efforts, and spectrum assignment. - Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues - Telematics applications - Electric vehicle applications - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - "Reduced functionalities" DSRC systems for pedestrians, road workers, etc. - Vehicle or traffic-related smartphone apps Organizing Committee -------------------------------- General Co-Chairs: John Kenney, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, USA Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University, USA Technical Program Co-Chairs: Marc Torrent-Moreno, Barcelona Digital Centre Tecnologic, Spain Fan Bai, General Motors Research, USA Publicity/Website Chair: Jason Haas, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Please contact the General Chair or Technical Program Co-Chairs for more information. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: PWSN 2011 -Barcelona, 29 June 2011, in conjunction with DCOSS2011 Datum: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 10:39:31 +0200 Von: Vasos Vassiliou <vasosv(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *** 2 Weeks Remaining for Submission! *** ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2011 3rd International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2011/ June 29 2011, Casa Convalescència, Barcelona, Spain In conjunction with the 7th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '11) ========================================================================= Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for Sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance.

Couch" <couch(a)cs.tufts.edu>, Fred Bauer <fred(a)fredbauer.com> =============================================================================== Apologies for receipt of multiple copies ================================================================================ IEEE SECON 2011 Workshop on Green And Sustainable Communication Networks (GASCoN) Webpage: http://www.ieee-secon.com/GASCoN/ This workshop invites papers on a broad range of topics that pertain to networks that are energy efficient, reusable, long-lived, and that enable other sustainability initiatives for our planet. It has been estimated that information and communication technologies (ICT) account for about 600 billion kWh of electricity usage annually, about 400 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. Therefore, there is great emerging interest in the design of networks which are energy-efficient, reusable, and yield a lower carbon footprint. There are many other ways in which communication networks can be deployed to enable initiatives pertaining to environmental sustainability; for instance, networks can be deployed to monitor air pollution, or manage energy utilization of buildings. And in a different, but related notion of sustainability, some application require the deployment and management of networks that can be sustainably operated over long periods, such as networks for monitoring earthquakes and tsunamis. We welcome papers on topics including but not limited to: Sustainable Networking * Green network architectures and protocols * Energy-efficient network hardware * Novel queuing models with energy-oriented metrics * Energy-QoS tradeoffs in network planning and operation * Energy consumption profiling in networks * Network economics for incentivizing sustainable user behavior Networks for Sustainability * Network infrastructure for smart energy use * Communication networks enabling renewable energy use * Networks deployed to monitor biodiversity, environmental quality, including underwater networks Long-lived Networks * Networks utilizing energy harvesting * Long-lived and self-sustaining network deployments * Energy storage and transfer networks * Networks for monitoring earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22, 2011 Camera-ready date: May 2, 2011 Paper Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically through EDAS system (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10569).

While configuration management is an implicit part of managing any kind of network, it is often left as an unnamed part of the greater task of "network management," even though statistically, an overwhelming percentage of operational issues are due to misconfiguration. In avoiding misconfiguration errors and the ensuing downtime, there is great utility in managing, manipulating, and analyzing a holistic network configuration that is the union of the configurations of its components. The workshop has two overall missions: a) To explore the current state of the art of "network configuration management", including strategies for describing, depicting, manipulating, verifying, and deploying configurations, along with approaches to safety, security, change management, safe reconfiguration, and related topics. b) To seek synergy with other forms of "configuration management", including "service configuration management". Effective cloud computing, e.g., requires careful coordination between service configuration and network configuration management. The goals of the workshop include educating the research community on the current grand challenges of network configuration management, exposing recent advances in network and service configuration management, and plotting the future of the field and next research steps. Topics of interest to the workshop include: - all forms of network configuration management, including management of network devices, security devices (firewalls, VPN, IPSec), and authentication and authorization servers for network users. - configuration-based techniques for guaranteeing network consistency, connectivity, safety, security, reliability, robustness, and performance expectations. - languages and protocols for specifying and manipulating network configurations and network security requirements. - interfaces between network configuration management and other forms of configuration management, including system and service configuration management. - strategies for federating, delegating, and sharing configuration management responsibilities. - strategies for coping with multiple, overlapping configuration repositories. - critical analysis of current configuration management standards and practices. - safe, secure, reliable, and robust configuration deployment mechanisms. - model-based and measurement-driven analysis of network configurations. - configuration challenges for new networking paradigms including programmable network devices (e.g., via OpenFlow). - misconfiguration detection, avoidance, and remediation. - approaches to network inventory and auditing, regulatory compliance, change management, transition planning, and safe reconfiguration. - dynamic reconfiguration strategies for media delivery. - domain-specific configuration management strategies, e.g., for cloud computing, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and ubiquitous computing. - autonomic and self-* approaches to network configuration, including intelligent agent, swarm-based, bio-inspired, and convergence approaches. The workshop will consist of selected presentations by attendees, as well as a keynote talk and a panel discussion of the grand challenges of the field. Attendance at the workshop is by invitation only. To attend the workshop, please submit a white paper describing a current problem of network configuration management and your approach to that problem. Each white paper is limited to three pages in length, and must include (i) a brief (1/2 page or less) description about the author's background and experience in configuration management, and (ii) an important problem that the author believes that the research community as a whole should be aware of and/or approaches that show preliminary promises. All invitees will be asked to submit camera ready versions of their white papers for publication in the SECON proceedings. Selected authors of white papers will be invited to present their results at the workshop. All white papers should be submitted through EDAS (http://edas.info/) and follow the formatting guideline for the SECON conference, which can be found at http://www.ieee-secon.org/submission.html Paper Deadline: March 31, 2011 Notification date: April 22 Camera-ready date: May 2 With best regards, -Jay -- Satyajayant Misra Assistant Professor Computer Science Department New Mexico State University Homepage: http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~misra ------------------------------------------------------------------------
