[Cost290] The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale and Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT)
by Saverio Mascolo 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale and Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT) Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan May 21-22, 2009 Web page: http://www.hpcc.jp/pfldnet2009 Co-located: IRTF Congestion Control Research Group Meeting, May 20, 2009 Scope The Internet continues to evolve along several dimensions, allowing more and more end systems to communicate in increasingly diverse ways. At one end of the performance spectrum, the Internet protocols provide communication facilities for extremely-high-speed special-use networks. At the other end of the performance spectrum, the Internet contains very low-power and low-bandwidth networks that cater to infrequent, bursty communication. Enabling efficient and high- performance end-to-end communication across such a diverse internetwork is a difficult problem, which is not solved by current transport layer protocols. The need to support an application base that grows more and more dissimilar adds additional challenges. The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale & Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT)brings together researchers and practitioners from all continents to exchange their ideas and experiences in the area of transport layer issues for modern communication networks. The workshop provides theorists, experimentalists and technologists with a focused, highly interactive opportunity to present, discuss and exchange experience on leading research, development and future directions in transport and application protocols for networks that are increasingly growing in size, heterogeneity and dynamicity of interaction. PFLDNeT 2009 solicits papers that further the research on end-to-end communication protocols for todays and tomorrows Internet in all its diversity along the continuum from specialized grid networks, optical transports, wireless connections, to lossy and low-power networks. A specific focus of the workshop lies on transport protocols for the efficient end-to-end transfer of data for a diverse set of applications and application-layer protocols. Now approaching its seventh instantiation, the PFLDneT workshop has broadened its focus over the years from protocols targeted at specific fast, long-distance networks (the original expansion of the PFLDneT acronym) into a venue where all kinds of new ideas relating to end-to-end transport protocols for diverse network scenarios are being discussed first. The previous International Workshops on Protocols for Fast, Long- Distance Networks held at CERN (2003), Argonne (2004), Lyon (2005), Nara (2006), Marina del Rey (2007) and Manchester (2008) were very successful in bringing together many researchers from all over the world including North America, Europe and Asia who are working on these problems. PFLDNeT 2009 will continue this tradition, and provide a perfect forum for researchers in this area to exchange ideas and experience. Important Dates and Relevant Event Information Position Paper or extended abstract submission: March 6th Notification of Acceptance: April 6th Final camera ready submission: May 1st Conference: May 21st and 22nd IRTF ICCRG meeting: May 20th Workshop web site The latest information of the workshop is updated in http://www.hpcc.jp/pfldnet2009 Topics PFLDNeT 2009 covers all aspects related to transport protocols for the current and future Internet, including, but not limited to: - Protocol development - Enhancements of TCP - Innovative congestion control mechanisms - Novel data transport protocols designed for new networks and - applications - Explicit signaling protocols: optimization criteria and deployment - strategies - Pacing and shaping of traffic - Parallel transfers and multi-streaming - Performance evaluation - Modeling and simulation-based results - Interaction of transport protocols and network equipment - Experiments on real networks and live measurements - Protocol benchmarking - Transport over optical networks - Protocol implementation and hardware issues - End system performance - Data replication and striping - Applications with demanding or unusual network performance - requirements - Bulk-data transfer applications - Transport service for Grids - Quality-of-service and scalability issues - Multicast Workshop Organizers Program Committee Chairs: Lars Eggert, Nokia Research Center, FI Kei Hiraki, The University of Tokyo, JP Steering Committee: Lachlan Andrew, Swinburne University of Technology, AU Richard Hughes-Jones, Univ. of Manchester, UK Katsushi Kobayashi, AIST, JP Doug Leith, Hamilton Institute, IE Injong Rhee, North Carolina State University, US Pascale Vicat-Blanc, INRIA, FR Michael Welzl, Univ. of Innsbruck, AT Program Committee: Dirceu Cavendish ,KIT, JP Larry Dunn, Univ. of Minnesota, US Tomohiro Kudoh , AIST, JP Venkatram Vishwanath, EVL, USA Steven Low, Caltech, US Saverio Mascolo, Politecnico di Bari, IT Hideyuki Shimonishi, NEC, JP David X.

[Tccc] Call for Submissions: PhD Forum at MobiSys 2009 (2nd anouncement)
by Jacob M. Sorber 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Apologies if you received multiple copies of this mail. ----------------------------------- Call For Submissions A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services June 22, 2009 Krakow, Poland http://prisms.cs.umass.edu/~sorber/mobisysforum09/ Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2009 ----------------------------------- Overview: The PhD Forum provides a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Format: This year's PhD Forum will be a one-day event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number of participants to no more than 15 presenters. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group. Submission: Submissions should consist of the following 1. A summary of the student's dissertation research (up to 3 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, a clear delineation of prior work and proposed work, will help the panel provide more useful suggestions. 2. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. Authors should follow the style formatting guidelines for MobiSys papers. Submissions should be sent in PDF format to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com. If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 15, 2009 Notification Deadline: April 15, 2009 Camera-ready: May 1, 2009 Forum Date: June 22, 2009 Panelists: Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research Landon Cox, Duke University Per Gunningberg, Uppsala University David Johnson, Rice University (Additional panelists to be announced later pending confirmation) Organizers: General Chairs: Jacob Sorber, UMass-Amherst Aruna Balasubramanian, UMass-Amherst Steering Committee Chair: Arta Doci, Colorado School of Mines Program Chairs: Ashish Sharma, UC Santa Barbara Nilesh Mishra, USC Program Committee: Yuvraj Agarwal, UC San Diego Ganesh Ananthanarayanan, UC Berkeley Eiman Elnahrawy, Rutgers University Annarita Gianim UC Berkeley Sayandeep Sen, University of Wisconsin-Madison Eugene Shih, MIT Please send any questions to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
