Mai 2009 MOTIVATION Telekommunikationssysteme haben sich in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt. In immer größerem Maße wurden hardwarebasierte Mechanismen durch Softwaresysteme ersetzt. Durch die zunehmende Verschmelzung von Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen für Sprach- und Datendienste sowie durch die Bereitstellung neuer Dienste entstehen hochkomplexe Systeme, welche schwierig zu beherrschen sind. In gleicher Weise nimmt die Komplexität innerhalb der Netzwerkinfrastrukturen für mobile Telekommunikationsnetze zu. Nutzer erwarten Roaming zwischen verschiedenen Netztechnologien, garantierte Qualitätsparameter, und ubiquitäre Verfügbarkeit von verschiedensten Services und neue Anwendungen. Diese Entwicklungen erfordern neue Ansätze zum Entwurf von Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen und deren Implementierung und Wartung. Der Umbau existierender Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen, bei großen Telekommunikationsunternehmen wie auch innerhalb einzelner Unternehmen, stellt große Herausforderungen an die Informatik. Dieser Workshop soll dazu beitragen, wissenschaftliche und praktische Erfahrungen auszutauschen und gemeinsam nach neuen Wegen zu suchen, wie diese für uns alle kritischen Infrastrukturen durch Methoden und Werkzeuge der Informatik beherrschbar gemacht werden können. THEMEN Mögliche Themen für Workshopbeiträge könnten unter anderem sein: - Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) und Architekturen für integrierte Telekommunikationssysteme und Next-Generation-Networks (NGN) - Neue Methoden und Werkzeuge für den Entwurf und die Simulation von Telekommunikationssoftware - Infrastrukturen und Technologien zur Realisierung von ubiquitären Services - Plattformen und Protokolle für orts- und kontextbezogene Systeme - IP-basierte Multimedia-Protokolle (SIP,..) - Ansätze und Methoden zur Modellierung von komplexen Telekommunikationssystemen - Last-Mile Software-Lösungen - Middleware-Lösungen und Softwarearchitekturen für mobile Netze - Kommunikationsmechanismen und Infrastrukturen für spezielle Anwendungen (z.B.

[Fwd: [Tccc] E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks]
by Lars Wolf 24 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks Datum: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:50:47 +0100 Von: <I.Psaras(a)surrey.ac.uk> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <1E7B4639CA370942A3CDE4ACEC1342950FBF6C(a)EVS-EC1-NODE2.surrey.ac.uk> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE Dates: TBA 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].

[Tccc] CFP: GreenMetrics 2009 Workshop (in conjunction with SIGMETRICS/Performance 2009)
by Niklas Carlsson 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

CALL FOR PAPERS -- GreenMetrics 2009 -- May 4 Deadline GreenMetrics 2009 Workshop Held in conjunction with SIGMETRICS/Performance 2009 June 15, 2009 - Seattle, Washington, USA http://conferences.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics/2009/ Global climate change is a topic of increasing importance in modern society. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how improvements to or new uses of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can contribute towards efforts to minimize climate change. In particular, this workshop will provide a forum for discussions on how to reduce the environmental impact of ICT. According to a recent report from the Climate Group, the ICT sector is responsible for 2% of the worldwide carbon footprint. This is roughly equivalent to the carbon footprint of the airline industry. Furthermore, an increase of 50% is predicted for the ICT sector.s carbon footprint by 2020. As regulatory and social pressures increase, organizations will need to take steps to reduce their environmental impact. ICT is expected to be a key sector in the effort to combat climate change, reducing overall carbon emissions by 15% by 2020 (smart2020.org). The workshop will provide an opportunity to explore opportunities for ICT applications or services to reduce the environmental impact of existing non-ICT processes. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from the (traditional) SIGMETRICS community with researchers and practitioners in relevant areas, to exchange technical ideas and experiences on how to lessen the environmental impact of ICT, or how to utilize ICT to lessen the environmental impact of other sectors. Improvements are to be quantified in terms of sustainability metrics such as reduction of carbon emissions. Improvements in sustainability should ideally also demonstrate that acceptable Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be maintained. This workshop will serve as a forum for the SIGMETRICS community to apply general measurement, analysis and modeling techniques to this important area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Measurement and evaluation of the sustainability of existing ICT systems * Definition and demonstration of useful sustainability metrics * Methods that systematically improve the efficiency of existing ICT systems * Tools that facilitate the design of more sustainable ICT systems * Development of models that pertain to the sustainability of ICT systems * Case studies of efforts to improve the sustainability of production ICT systems * Use of ICT systems to improve the sustainability of existing non-ICT processes Preference will be given to work on large-scale systems, e.g., entire data centers or enterprise-scale applications. Important Dates * May 4, 2009: Paper Submission (hard deadline) * May 18, 2009: Author Notification * May 25, 2009: Final Versions Due Submission Guidelines Papers must not exceed five double-column pages in the standard ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submissions must be submitted electronically in printable PDF form, via the EDAS system (http://www.edas.info/). The EDAS system requires you to register the title and abstract of your paper before you can upload the manuscript of the paper. The deadline for the final version of submissions is May 4, 2009, 23:59 EST.

(forwarded on behalf of ratul(a)microsoft.com) ACM HotNets-VIII October 22-23, 2009 New York City, NY http://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2009/ Call for Papers The Eighth ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets-VIII) will bring together people with interest in computer networks to engage in a lively debate on theory and practice of networking. Continuing the HotNets tradition, the workshop will provide a venue for presenting and discussing innovative ideas that have the potential to significantly influence the community. The goal is to promote community-wide discussions of those ideas. We invite researchers as well as practitioners to submit a short position paper describing such an idea. The paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose new evaluation methodologies. We especially encourage submissions of early-stage work and enticing but unproven ideas. Once fully developed and evaluated, the work may be relevant to conferences such as SIGCOMM, SOSP, SenSys, MobiCom, PODC, or Infocom. HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This view encompasses all kinds of modern day computer networks, including (but not limited to) home and enterprise networks, ISP networks, sensor and personal area networks, wireless and acoustic networks, data center networks, peer-to-peer networks, and disruption-tolerant networks. It also encompasses all aspects of such networks, including (but not limited to) resource management, economics and evolution, robustness and security, mobility, interactions with applications, energy, measurement and diagnosis, and hardware. Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and a workshop summary will be published in ACM SIGCOMM's Computer Communication Review (CCR), widely disseminating the ideas discussed at the workshop. Workshop Participation HotNets is an invitation-only workshop. To ensure an interactive atmosphere, attendance will be limited to around 60 people. Invitations will be extended per the following priorities: * the Program and Steering Committees, one author per paper, and any speakers invited by the Program Committee * co-authors of accepted and submitted papers, preferring students as available travel support allows * event-sponsor representatives and additional authors of submitted papers at the discretion of the Program Committee Submission Instructions Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages (10 point font, 1 inch margins). All submissions must be blind: submissions must not indicate the names or affiliations of the authors in the paper. Only electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted. Submissions must be written in English, render without error using standard tools (e.g., Acrobat Reader), and print on US-Letter sized paper. HotNets-VIII reviews will follow standard academic practice, although some rejected papers may not receive full-length reviews. Information on how to submit papers is available at http://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2009/ Important Dates Abstract registration: July 17, 2009 (11:59pm EDT) Paper submission: July 24, 2009 (11:59pm EDT) Notification of decision: September 15, 2009 Camera-ready submission: October 1, 2009 Workshop dates: October 22-23, 2009 Organizing Committee: General Chair: Lakshmi Subramanian (New York University) Program Chairs: Will Leland (BBN Technologies) Ratul Mahajan (Microsoft Research) Program Committee: Mark Allman (ICSI) Suman Banerjee (University of Wisconsin) Kevin Fall (Intel Research) Krishna Gummadi (Max Planck Institute for Software Systems) Sachin Katti (University of California, Berkeley) Arvind Krishnamurty (University of Washington) Brian Lyles (Telecordia Technologies) Rick McGeer (HP Labs) Thomas Moscibroda (Microsoft Research) Vern Paxson (University of California, Berkeley) Srini Seshan (Carnegie Mellon University) Renata Teixeira (LIP6) Xiaowei Yang (Duke University) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: [Tccc] 5th Mobicom Workshop on Challenged Networks (Chants 2009)]
by Lars Wolf 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 5th Mobicom Workshop on Challenged Networks (Chants 2009) Datum: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 10:19:51 +0200 Von: May Martin <Martin.May(a)thomson.net> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ------------------------------------------------------- CHANTS 2009 ACM MobiCom 2009 Workshop on Challenged Networks -------------------------------------------------------- Beijing, China September 25, 2009 http://www.thlab.net/chants2009 Scope: ------ Challenged networks are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, intermittent connectivity, and widely varying network conditions. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries with insufficient infrastructure and severe power shortage can be regarded as challenged networks, as can be ad-hoc communication between personal mobile devices; even an overlay network relying on fixed infrastructure might be challenged by a high degree of churn. Challenges are also posed by a very heterogeneous and potentially resource limited nodes, such as mobile phones, space-based nodes, and sensor and actuator nodes. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly unreliable and varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. The Internet protocol architecture suffers when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when connectivity is intermittent, or the link performance is highly variable or extreme, then one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2008, CHANTS 2007, CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with networks that operate under significant challenges as exemplified above; techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions, churn and high delays are also of interest. The focus of this year's workshop will be on experiences with challenged networks, such as experimental results, measurements, implementations, full-system and large-scale simulations, operational experiences, deployment problems, and applications for challenged networks. We specifically solicit papers in these respects for the following areas: * Architecture, design and evaluation of systems that are robust to high rates of nodal churn, unreliable infrastructure, and intermittent connectivity due to for instance high mobility, power saving. * Characterization of performance and security challenges and measurements of challenged networks; performance metrics and measurements thereof; benchmark tests and scenarios of network challenges. * Protocol and application design and evaluation with respect to robustness, security and privacy, as well as quality of service and experience. * Configuration, management, monitoring and adaptivity of systems for challenged networks. Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as architectural papers addressing new concerns. Papers that bring out problems in the existing proposals for challenged networks or that report operational experience will be favored. Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on evolving this area of network research and continuing to build its community. In addition, we seek submission of demo proposals, also to be reviewed by the TPC. The demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable, too. Paper Format and Submission: ---------------------------- Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS. Papers will be reviewed single blind.
