-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: U-NET'09 (User-provided networking) workshop, co-located with ACM CoNext Datum: Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:27:48 +0100 Von: Paulo Mendes <pmendes(a)inescporto.pt> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu (Apologies if you get this twice) ACM U-NET'09 — User-provided Networking: Challenges and Opportunities Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1st, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/unet/ *NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE*: August 13th, 2009 (U-NET web page to be updated soon) Submit at: http://edas.info/N7753 *Motivation* This workshop is dedicated to the debate of concepts, challenges, and opportunities concerning user-provided networking, i.e., scenarios where users cooperate by sharing wireless resources as well as Internet services. To provide a specific example that relates to Internet access (connectivity), the end-user (or a community of end-users) is a micro-operator in the sense that he/she shares his/her subscribed broadband Internet access based on some form of incentive scheme. In addition, the end-user may or may not provide other network functionality such as local mobility management, or persistent storage and forwarding services. This new role is disruptive in what concerns Internet service models, since there is no distinction between what is today known as end-user device and network device: in the future, end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network. In contrast, the Internet has been up to now mostly the means for end-users to obtain some form of network service, originally related to connectivity, person-to-person communication, or information retrieval. Such user-centric provider role is also disruptive given that the regular network boundaries of trust have to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior: there is the need to form networks of trust in order to accommodate a robust network growth, given that the key to such growth is the willingness to cooperate. Another disruptive aspect of user-provided networking is that due to the nature of the wireless media and the way that humans move, support for intermittent connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. Finally, and given that user-provided networking spreads dynamically having as network elements regular end-user devices, there is the need to consider cases where information is opportunistically relayed instead of routed based on topological information. Due to the disruptive aspects mentioned, user-provided networking seem to have the potential to provide a paradigm shift in Internet communication models, given that such novel functionality allow wireless networks to operate in a completely autonomic way and also given that the end-user becomes a provider of Internet services (e.g. connectivity) based upon cooperation incentives or rewards and based upon his/her own mobility and social patterns. Services are established on the fly, and do not necessarily imply the use of multihop technology or routing. For instance, connectivity may be, in most cases, simply relayed. The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers and a discussion panel with guests from industry and academia. We envision U-NET as a forum aiming to ignite a debate concerning technical challenges and impact (negatively or positively) that user-provided networking may have on Internet communication models. *Topics* U-NET'09 solicits high quality technical contributions within the context of user-provided networking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Challenges and opportunities for access providers. * Impact on Internet architectures. * Internet connectivity. * Trust models, incentives to share broadband access. * Human behaviour and mobility patterns. * Self-organization. * Wireless cooperation. Papers submitted are expected to be highly innovative and may incorporate early stage ideas; position papers (clearly identified as such) pointing to new directions and capable of generating discussion are also welcome. Submission must be original and not already published in any other conference proceeding or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. *Technical Panel Discussion* U-NET'09 aims to be a forum to debate the technical challenges and impact of deploying user-provided networking technology. For this propose, this first edition of U-NET will host a technical discussion panel constituted by: * Shivendra S. Panwar, Professor at Polytechnic Institute of New York University, USA * James Kempf, Senior Architect at Ericsson Research, USA * David Kennedy, Director at Eurescom GmbH, Germany * Jordi Vallejo, CTO at FON Wireless Ltd, Spain * Dirk Trossen, Chief Researcher at BT Design and Innovation, United Kingdom *Submissions* Submitted papers must be at most 6 (six) pages long (including figures, tables and references) in the standard ACM double column format.

[Tccc] Last 3 days - CFP: Symposium on Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks, ISSNIP 2009
by Ozlem Durmaz Incel 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Apologies for cross-postings Submission due in 3 days, August 7, 2009. ---------------------------- CFP: Symposium on Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks, 5th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing (ISSNIP 2009) http://www.issnip.org/2009/symposia.html#TheoPractWSN 7-10 December 2009, Melbourne, Australia Call for Papers =============== Research in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has come a long way since it began around a decade ago. While there have been numerous small-scale WSN test bed implementations by the research community, large-scale implementations, involving hundreds or even thousands of nodes which are static or mobile are still unheard of. This symposium focuses on the theoretical and practical challenges faced when dealing with large-scale wireless sensor networks involving static and/or mobile nodes. Networks which scale thousands of static and/or mobile nodes need to possess a number of inherent characteristics in order to function properly. For example, scalability and distributed operation are essential characteristics for any large scale deployment. WSNs will only be widely adopted, if end-users are given guarantees about the operation of the system. Thus providing QoS guarantees is very important. However, providing such guarantees can be very difficult especially when one considers the unreliability of wireless links in WSNs. As resources such as energy, bandwidth, memory and computational power are highly constrained, novel techniques are required to manage the resources by maximizing the usage of cross-layer information, in order to guarantee the operation of the network in accordance with the end-user's requirements. The fact that manually administering every node individually is impossible, makes it vital for the system to have self-organizing and self-learni ng capabilities in every section of the protocol stack. Heterogeneity is another characteristic that makes the overall network architecture more robust and efficient. This symposium seeks papers that present novel solutions to the problems listed above. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Networking protocols (MAC, Routing, Transport, Time synchronization, QoS, Mobility support) - Sensor information processing (Calibration, Adaptive sampling, Signal processing) - Distributed algorithms for data management (Querying, Data aggregation, Coding, Storage) - Theoretical and simulation-based modelling (Mobility models, Fundamental bounds and formulations) - In-network data interpretation (Event detection and classification, Context-awareness, Adaptive recognition algorithms, On-line training and learning) - Sensor-actuator coordination (Heterogeneous architectures, Distributed control) - System support (Operating systems, Network monitoring and management, Network reprogramming, Simulation and debugging tools) - Services (Service-oriented architectures, Service discovery, Localization and tracking, Security) - Real-world experiences (Novel applications, Deployments, Experimental testbeds, Measurements) Important dates =============== Paper submission due : August 7, 2009 (extended) Notification of acceptance : September 14, 2009 Camera-ready due : October 5, 2009 Conference date : December 7-10, 2009 Committee ========= Symposium Chair: Paul Havinga Organizing Committee: Supriyo Chatterjea, Raluca Marin-Perianu, Özlem Durmaz Incel Technical Programme Committee ============================= Scott Bainbridge, Australian Institute of Marine Science, Australia Erdal Çayirci, University of Stavanger, Norway Chun Tung Chou, University of New South Wales, Australia Arie Croitoru, University of Alberta, Canada Stefan Dulman, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Wendi Heinzelman, Rochester University, USA Bhaskar Krishnamachari, University of Southern California, USA Clemens Lombriser, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Mihai Marin-Perianu, University of Twente, The Netherlands Ian Marshall, Lancaster University, UK Nirvana Meratnia, University of Twente, Netherlands Tim Nieberg, University of Bonn, Germany Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA Volkan Rodoplu, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Kay Römer, ETH Zürich, Switzerland Winston Seah, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Tim Wark, CSIRO, Australia Michele Zorzi, University of Padova, Italy Marco Zuniga, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland For further information, please refer to: http://www.issnip.org/2009/index.html _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Mobile IPv6 and Network-based Localized Mobility Management Datum: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 11:58:07 +0900 Von: Youn-Hee Han <yh21.han(a)gmail.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <66024.77905.qm(a)web110013.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> ***Apologies for possible multiple copies*** == MobiWorld 2010 Call for Paper ==================================================== 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Mobile IPv6 and Network-based Localized Mobility Management (MobiWorld 2010) http://isyou.hosting.paran.com/mobiworld10 January 9-12, 2010, Las Vegas, Nevada USA (In conjunction with CCNC 2010) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- == Hot News! == - Distinguished papers accepted and presented in MobiWorld 2010, after further revisions, will be published in Special Issue of Wireless Personal Communication (indexed by SCIE). - Submission deadline has been changed to September 1, 2009 == Overview == As mobile computing is more and more widespread, mobility support for Internet devices becomes very important. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a promising technology that handles the mobility management and provides the seamless mobile communications. It is expected that MIPv6, as a standard for mobile communication, will open the Mobile Internet Age. In MIPv6, it has been observed that mobility for mobile devices can be more efficiently handled if mobility management is broken down into localized mobility management and global mobility management. Therefore, host-based approaches such as Fast-Handovers for MIPv6 (FMIPv6) and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) have been proposed for localized mobility management. In addition, Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6) has been presented for the network-based localized mobility management (NETLMM), which does not require mobile devices to be involved in the signaling for mobility management. This workshop will focus on the challenges and solutions for MIPv6 with an emphasis on PMIPv6 and NETLMM, which have recently gained considerable attention. The MobiWorld workshop will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of MIPv6 and NETLMM. In addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in MIPv6 and NETLMM. Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. == Topics (included, but are not limited to)== - Communications network architecture for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Efficient handover mechanism in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Enhanced route optimization for MIPv6 and NETLMM - QoS protocol in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Performance model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Applications and services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security issues and protocols for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security threats and model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Privacy and trust for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Key management and authentication for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - AAA Infrastructure for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Early binding update and credit based access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Personal or Cellular communications services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Successful MIPv6 and NETLMM deployment - Mobility support for the next generation internet - Mobile IP for business - Mobility management for wireless network - Implementing mobile IP enterprise management solution - Integrating mobile data services into enterprise infrastructure - Others and emerging new topics == International Committee == *General Co-Chairs Victor C.M.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE CCNC'2010 Special Session on Social Networking]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE CCNC'2010 Special Session on Social Networking Datum: Sun, 2 Aug 2009 01:37:38 +0800 Von: Ruichuan Chen <rchen(a)mpi-sws.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, p2prg(a)irtf.org, cs-seminar(a)googlegroups.com, security <security(a)infosec.pku.edu.cn> CC: chen <chen(a)infosec.pku.edu.cn>, Eng Keong Lua <englua(a)cmu.edu> [Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] IEEE CCNC'2010 Special Session on Social Networking January 9-12, 2010 Las Vegas, USA http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2010/ or http://sites.google.com/site/socnets2010/ Social Networks (SocNets) have attracted billions of active users and this critical mass of users are increasing exponentially. Internet social network applications such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. are providing valuable social information on contacts and their relationships. Wireless and mobile devices which are capable of creating, storing, processing, forwarding and sharing content are socially connected in a new radical networking and adaptive architecture harnessing the social behavior and mobility of the users. Thus, SocNets enable the pervasive connectivity without the need to maintain fully connected always-on networks. Such SocNets communities trigger exciting research interests in collaborative systems arising from the analysis of the structure and properties of SocNets. The use of private social information provides additional avenues for new networking operations --- for example, problems that allow the exploitation of SocNets to solve network and system security vulnerabilities, and how these new social network solutions can shape the design of secured distributed systems and networks; development of cross-layered architecture for diverse pervasive applications to distribute user-generated content based on social relationships and behaviors; etc. It also requires the cross-disciplinary research integration of computer science and engineering, biology, physics, anthropology, social sciences, etc. The goal of this special session is to catalyze cross-disciplinary research discussions that are of relevance to new and novel computer networking ideas, applications and experimental results in the area of SocNets. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include (but are not limited to) the following: -- Implications of social networking on future network architecture -- System design for social networks -- New social science of networks -- Physical and virtual social networks -- Social-based mobility -- Mobile and pervasive social networks -- Social community-based communication -- Real world applications of social network analysis and theory -- New social-inspired content creation and distribution networks -- New aspects of trust, privacy and security systems in social networking -- Data confidentiality and integrity in social networks Important Dates -- Submission Deadline: August 15, 2009 -- Acceptance Notification: September 10, 2009 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit regular technical papers or position papers. The position papers should present novel technologies at an early stage of development or share future vision. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts should not exceed five (5) pages in double-column IEEE format. Please submit the paper through EDAS. Formatting details can be found under Submission Guidelines on the CCNC website.
