-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: REALWSN 2010 Datum: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:59:37 +0200 Von: Thiemo Voigt <thiemo(a)sics.se> An: Thiemo <thiemo(a)sics.se> Call for Papers The Fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks December 16-17, 2010 Colombo, Sri Lanka http://www.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk/realwsn10/ We are excited to announce that the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in December 2010. The purpose of the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring, etc. * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: July 16, 2010 * Notification of acceptance: September 10, 2010 * Camera-ready copy due: October 8, 2010 * Workshop: 16-17 December, 2010 Organizers: Workshop Chair: * Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Technical program committee chairs: * Peter Corke, Queensland University of Technology, Australia * Pedro José Marron, University of Duisburg-Essen and Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany Local organizing committee: * A.

Due to our demands for higher data rate and more seamless connectivity, new technologies keep being developed and merchandised, including wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, social networks, smart grid communications, etc. Therefore, many new problems have been proposed and most of which can be formulated as optimization problems. However, many such optimization problems do not have the corresponding good algorithms developed or they are so hard (usually classified as NP-hard) that no algorithm is available to find the optimal solution in polynomial time. Although it may be difficult to find the optimal solutions for these problems, we can still approximate the best solutions with reasonably good ones. When we focus on NP-hard problems and computation time is our concern, approximate algorithms are the good choice. Since the evolutionary computational approaches were developed in the past few decades, many works rely on the nature-inspired algorithms to do optimization. The relatively classical ones are Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Artificial Immune System, Ant Colony Optimization, and Particle Swarm Optimization, etc. Some recently proposed algorithms include Harmony Search, Bee Algorithm, Bacterial Foraging Optimization, Group Search Optimization, Biogeography-based Optimization, Chemical Reaction Optimization, etc. This special issue is focused on highlighting the nature-inspired techniques to solve optimization for designing computer networks. They should demonstrate advantages or improvements in some aspects over the existing methods. The goal is to develop nature-inspired approaches which enhance the adaptability, autonomicity, and scalability of any kinds of computer networks. We also welcome submissions that demonstrate real-world experience in and theoretical works on applying nature-inspired optimization techniques to networking research problems. Topics related to computer networks to be covered in this special issue include but are not limited to: • P2P audio and video streaming • Grid and cluster computing • Cloud systems • Social networks • Infrastructure-based and ad hoc cognitive radio systems • Topology control and management • Cross-layer design and interactions • Centralized/distributed radio resource management in wireless mesh networks • Service-oriented and QoS support for smart grid • Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing for smart grid communications • Multicast for smart grid • Green computing systems Topics related to nature-inspired techniques to be covered in this special issue include but are not limited to: • Genetic Algorithms • Simulated Annealing • Ant Colony Optimization • Particle Swarm Optimization • Artificial Immune Systems • Harmony Search • Bees Algorithm • Biogeography-based Optimization • Group Search Optimization • Bacterial Foraging Optimization • Chemical Reaction Optimization Guest Editors: • Dr. Albert Y.S.

Wireless access devices already outnumber stationary Internet hosts and an increasing share of traffic traverses at least one wireless link. These trends can be expected to continue in the near future and call for a reexamination of the architectural design of the current and future internets. The current TCP/IP architecture was originally designed for communication between stationary mainframes and servers, and later used for wired PCs. While Mobile IP and the IPv6 mobility extensions have sought to evolve the current architecture to provide support for connections under device mobility, their adoption has lagged behind expectations. This lack of adoption and additional challenges posed by mobility have led to renewed interest in a clean-slate design that comprehensively addresses mobility, free of existing architectural constraints. A clean-slate design requires rethinking current architectural foundations like the end-to-end principle as well as associated Internet business models. It requires addressing issues such as efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, transport over wireless access and related operational/deployment concerns. Moreover, the architecture will also need to include new services to meet the changed needs of the majority of mobile applications. MobiArch 2010 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore challenges or advances in architectures, protocols, and technologies to address mobility in the current Internet or in future clean-slate Internets. We especially welcome position papers that describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Topics of MobiArch 2010 cover all aspects of architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Impact of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on the Internet architecture * Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from link to application layers or cross-layer design solutions * Addressing and routing issues (e.g., locator/identifier split, content routing, multi-homing) * Location management, representation of geolocation, and support for location-aware application and protocols * Security and privacy issues in mobile networks and impact on Internet architecture * Role of network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture * Economic, regulation, and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) Submissions must present original results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and have impact and implications for ongoing or future research.

F. Almeida (virgilio(a)dcc.ufmg.br) and Jussara M. Almeida (jussara(a)dcc.ufmg.br) The Internet has a number of popular applications and services experiencing workloads with very different, non-trivial and unique properties. Examples are online social networking and Web 2.0, e-business, search, streaming, malware, Peer-to-Peer, grid, and mobile applications. Real workload characterization and modeling provide key insights into the cost-effective design, operation, and management of Internet- based services and systems. Nevertheless, some of the most fundamental concepts and methods related to the characteristics of real Internet workloads are largely unknown to most Internet/Web practitioners. This is further aggravated by the limited availability of real representative workloads for analysis, either due to privacy restrictions imposed by service providers or due to the inherent limitations of partial/local workloads in face of the global nature of Internet applications. As a result, many Internet-based systems and services are designed and built without exploring the inherent properties of their workloads. This special issue of IC seeks original articles addressing relevant aspects of real Internet workloads, looking at measurement and collection of workloads, characterization and modeling. Articles can be from research, operations, management, or architecture viewpoints. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: workload sampling and measurement techniques; workload characterization techniques and results; workload modeling approaches; strategies to achieve representativeness under partial workloads; privacy preserving issues; synthetic workload generators; workload temporal evolution and prediction schemes; and case studies. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM VANET 2010 (deadline extended to Apr 30) Datum: Sat, 24 Apr 2010 07:19:28 -0700 (PDT) Von: Fan Bai <fan_bai(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you have received multiple copies! ======================== ACM VANET 2010 (The DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO APR. 30, 2010) Vehicle to Vehicle -- Vehicle to Roadside -- Vehicle to Internet The Seventh ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2010 Date: September 24, 2010 Chicago, IL, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://winlab.rutgers.edu/~fanbai/vanet2010/ (the deadline on the website will be updated soon) 　 Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: April 30, 2010 (NEW DEADLINE) Notification of Acceptance: June 25, 2010 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 15, 2010 The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Apart from new and original technical research results, this year we welcome papers on organizational and economic models. Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter- 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 creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include research programs like the ones on cooperative systems within the eSafety framework of the European Union, the Intellidrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System) and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, simTD in Germany and SCOREF in France. Standardization is well under way with the activities worldwide in ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research results, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety, efficiency and commercial applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Test methodologies - Impact assessment - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Organisational and economic models 　 Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages, use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. We also encourage the submission of position papers with a maximum length of 6 pages (following the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiCom.

Cognitive networks are agile and adaptive to users' demand and characteristics of the wireless medium. Wireless devices in cognitive networks are capable of learning and predicting the state and behavior of coexisting network components and adversary devices, and capable of dynamically sharing the spectrum and computational resources in temporal, spatial, and frequency domains. Scope ======== Original papers describing both experimental and theoretical results in cognitive networking are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Models and fundamental limits of cognitive networking. - Connectivity, capacity, and scalability of heterogeneous systems via cognitive networking. - Impact of traffic pattern, topology, mobility, and interference tolerance on cognitive networking. - Statistical inference and cognition from measurements that are inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and delayed. - Sensing and feedback mechanism in cognitive networking and the associated cost. - Cognitive MAC, multicast, and routing protocols for heterogeneous networks with highly dynamic topology. - Transient behavior and stability analysis in cognitive networking. - Security and robustness issues in cognitive networking. - Cognitive spectrum sharing, coexistence, and interoperability. - Auction and pricing models for dynamic spectrum sharing. - Cognitive radio test-beds and hardware prototypes. - White Space networking, policy issues Paper Submission =================== Workshop on Cognitive Networking invites manuscripts that present original materials not previously published in, or currently under review by, other conferences, workshops, or journals. Submissions will be handled electronically through HotCRP. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 6 pages using the ACM SIG Proceedings templates. Paper submission deadline: May 28, 2010 Notification of acceptance: July 5, 2010 Camera-ready papers due: July 14, 2010 Workshop: September, 2010 Organization =============== PC Co-Chairs: Sachin Katti, Stanford Thomas Moscibroda, MSR Redmond Steering Committee: Ranveer Chandra, MSR Redmond Qing Zhao, UC Davis Publicity Chair: Przemyslaw Pawelczak, UCLA Web Chair: Jung Il Choi, Stanford Technical Program Committee: To be announced _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
