16 Sep '09

Call For Papers: IEEE Network Magazine "Biologically Inspired Networking" Guest Editors: Dinesh Verma, IBM (dverma(a)us.ibm.com) Pietro Lio, University of Cambridge (pietro.lio(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) Scope: Computer Networks deployed in the field today lack many of the features which are demonstrated in the operation and mechanisms of biological networks. Some examples of features where biological networks have an advantage include their ability to maintain homeostatic environments, adapt rapidly to environmental changes, self-organize, assemble simple structures into complex tasks, autonomous operations, self-replication, protection against attacks of various natures, etc. While computer networking has many features which perform better than any biological system, it is a reasonable proposition that application of biologically inspired techniques to computing systems and networks will improve on the current state of the art in computer networks. This special issue is focused on highlighting approaches for designing computer networks that are biologically inspired, and which show an improvement in some aspect of the current state of computer networking. The goal is to develop techniques that improve the adaptability, scalability and autonomicity of comptuer networks. We welcome papers that provide new architectures and insights, real-world experience in building biological systems, theoretical advances in biological networks, and any other area of bio-inspired improvements to computer networks. Any paper that covers a technology which has a clear connection to a biological system and a demonstrable advantage to computer networks will be considered within scope. We welcome both tutorial type papers, as well as papers describing new research activities. Some of the topics of interest include: Modeling of Biological Networks Evolutionary systems and protocols Biological Inspired Network Architectures Homeostatic Control and its Applications Neural Networks applications to Computer Networks Self-healing systems and protocols Biologically Inspired Security Predator-Prey applications to computer networks Performance evaluation of biologically inspired networks Biologically inspired Network Topologies Manuscript Submission: This special issue will only consider electronic submissions in the format of postscript, PDF, or MS WORD. To submit a paper for consideration, authors should send your paper to one of the guest editors via email. The paper should be included as an email attachment, or the author may provide a URL where the file can be downloaded. Indicate which author is to serve as the primary correspondence contact. Provide a contact list for all of the other authors. Please list affiliations, mailing addresses, phone/fax numbers, and email addresses. We will provide an acknowledgment of receipt of the paper within 24 hours of submission. Schedule: Submission Deadline: November 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: January 1, 2010 (*) Final Manuscripts: March 1, 2010 Tentative Publication: May 2010 (*) Authors of papers submitted that are judged to fall outside the objectives of this special issue may be notified earlier.

Kranjska Gora, Slovenia Scope of the conference As more and more users become increasingly dependent on wireless and mobile communications, it is necessary to secure a reliable and dependable technology support for "on-demand" services through any of the wireless architectures that have been in development recently, such as mesh networks, wimax, wifi, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, etc. However, there are serious challenges to overcome, such as the integration of infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, robust algorithms for self-organizing, reconfigurable wireless networks, on- demand service models and their provision in a highly-volatile interconnection environment, and smooth interoperability of architectures. WONS, now in its seventh edition, has established itself as a high- quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a workshop that is rich in intense interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in the field. This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks, mesh networks, vehicular networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and Design * Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation * Modeling * Internet integration * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive / ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Applications and Service Support * Data dissemination and Peer-to-Peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management A special session on Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) will be organized by Prosense (European FP7 Project). Manuscript submissions Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages) in PDF format having a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions, ongoing work, visionary, innovative ideas; accepted short papers will populate poster sessions at the conference and will be included in the conference proceedings.

[Fwd: WG: Call for Papers: Automotive Services 2010 im Rahmen der MKWI, Deadline: 20.9.]
by Lars Wolf 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Call for Papers für die Teilkonferenz Automotive Services (AS2010) der Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik (MKWI) 2010, Automotive Services 2010 Der zunehmende Einsatz von softwarebasierten System im Auto ermöglicht nicht nur die erleichterte Entwicklung kritischer Systeme, sondern stellt auch eine Infrastruktur für neuartige Software und Services bereit. Diese technische Basis erlaubt im Gegensatz zu anderen mobilen Anwendungen, die Verwendung umfangreicherer Ressourcen wie Rechenleistung, Bedienelemente und Darstellungsraum. Gleichzeitig spielt dabei jedoch die Sicherheit des Fahrers und die Richtung der Aufmerksamkeit bei der Nutzung solcher mobiler Applikationen im Fahrzeug eine kritische Rolle. Die Implementierung solch neuer Dienste kann nur Bedingt auf bestehende technische Systeme zur Entwicklung zurückgreifen. Für viele Anwendungsgebiete sind neue Werkzeuge und Konzepte erforderlich, welche eine schnelle Umsetzung, die angemessene Bedienung und die Integration in Backendsysteme erlauben. Die inhaltliche Konzeption, Ausgestaltung und Erbringung speziell von mobilen Diensten im Auto birgt große Herausforderungen. Dies umfasst neben der strategischen Ebene insbesondere auch neue Aspekte beim technischen Entwicklungsprozess. Auf der einen Seite muss die Integration neuer Akteure wie Content oder Service Provider berücksichtigt werden, während auf der anderen Seite neue Geschäftsmodelle und Wertschöpfungsketten eine Herausforderung darstellen können. Dieses neue Einsatzfeld macht in vielen Fällen zudem die Evaluation der Innovationen zum Nachweis der Wirtschaftlichkeit notwendig. Diese Konferenz setzt die erfolgreiche Konferenz zu Automotive Services (AS2008) in München mit dem Ziel fort, ökonomische, prozessorale und technische Aspekte der Dienstentwicklung und -umsetzung im Auto weiter zu beleuchten und wieder Ansatzpunkte zum Erfahrungsaustausch zu bieten. Weiterführende Ressourcen und Informationen zu früheren Veranstaltungen rund um die Teilkonferenz Automotive Services erhalten Sie unter: http://www.automotive-services.org/ Mögliche Themen für Beiträge: Das Themenspektrum der Automotive Services umfasst folgende Punkte, ist jedoch nicht darauf beschränkt: A) Technische Schwerpunkte * Anforderungen an mobile Anwendungen im Automobil * Konzeption und Prototyping * Basistechnologien, Infrastrukturen, Plattformen und Standards der Umsetzung * Benutzerschnittstellen und Bedienkonzepte B) Betriebswirtschaftliche Schwerpunkte * Neuartige Geschäftsmodelle und Potentiale im After-Sales Bereich * Modularisierung von Diensten & Dienstleistungen * Content und Service Management * Wertschöpfungsketten und Geschäftsmodelle * Wirtschaftlichkeit mobiler Dienste C) Querschnittsthemen * Modelle und Strategien in der Entwicklung und im Betrieb * Integration von Diensten in den Entwicklungsprozess * Akteure der Dienstentwicklung und des -betriebs * Umgesetzte Dienste und ihr Umfeld *Evaluation (insb.
