Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2009 http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/DNCMS009/Call_for_Papers.html Held in conjunction with SRDS 2009, Niagara Falls, New York, U.S.A., September 26, 2009 Due to the strong growth in mobile devices, networked embedded systems, wireless sensors, and the ever increasing information computing power offered by computing clusters and information services over stationary networks, the integration of network computing and mobile systems presents new challenges, especially with respect to the dependability of integrated applications: accepted measures of availability, costs, and quality of service for high-bandwidth, high-quality stationary systems, have to be re-thought, facing possibly new dependability paradigms for cheap, resource restricted, unreliable mobile systems with low-bandwidth communication facilities, being embedded and subject to the conditions in the physical world. This workshop solicits papers addressing dependability issues related to the design, analysis, and implementation, of infrastructures, systems, architectures, algorithms and protocols that deal with network computing and mobile/ubiquitous systems.Topics include, but are not limited to: * Wireless communication protocols and mobile networks * Sensor networks * Architectures and middleware for mobile device integration * Location-based computing and data analysis * Intelligent sensors in networked environments * Cluster computing, ubiquitous computing, and grid-Computing for mobile applications * Distributed data mining for mobile applications * Ubiquitous Knowledge Discovery * Applications such as cooperative mobile robots, embedded applications, ... * Hardware security methods for mobile applications * Security methods for network computing and mobile systems * Intelligent mobile systems SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: DNCMS 2009 is using the EasyChair Conference Management System to manage paper submissions process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks Datum: Fri, 15 May 2009 10:44:38 +0300 Von: Eleftherios Mamatas <emamatas(a)ee.duth.gr> An: Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br [apologies for multiple-postings] ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE 12-14 October 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia (in conjunction with ICUMT 2009) [Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/] ************************************************************************ Networking research for challenged environments has attracted a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of "going online". Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a "one-fits-all" protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract-registration Deadline: June 15, 2009 Paper-submission Deadline: June 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal. Page-limits are as follows: Position Papers: 2 pages, Work-in-Progress Papers: 4 pages and Full Papers: 6 pages. Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-spaced, double-column page-style using 10 pt size fonts on 8.5X11 inch pages. Page-limits include text, figures, references, and appendices. A selection of the best papers will be invited for a special issue on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks in the Journal of Internet Engineering [http://www.jie-online.org].
