-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM VANET workshop 2009 Datum: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 09:18:21 -0800 (PST) Von: Fan Bai <fan_bai(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive duplicate copies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM VANET 2009 Vehicle to Vehicle -- Vehicle to Roadside -- Vehicle to Internet The Sixth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2009 Date: To be announced Beijing, China Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE (approval pending) http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2009/ Important Dates (tentative): Paper Submission Deadline: April 6th Notification of Acceptance: June 19th Camera-Ready Deadline: July 15th The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter-networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe), and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2009 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2009/.

[Tccc] CFP: PRESTO 2009 - 2nd ACM SIGCOMM workshop on Programmable Routers for Extensible Services of TOmorrow
by Kobus van der Merwe 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers. Call For Papers -- PRESTO 2009 -- The Second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Programmable Routers for Extensible Services of TOmorrow August 22nd 2009 Co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2009 in Barcelona, Spain. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2009/workshops/presto/ There continues to be great interest in the networking research community in re-architecting the distribution of functions in IP networks. These efforts can be described as a dis-aggregation of router and switch functionality into various components and well-defined interfaces, towards the goal of deploying richer services and easing management of the network. Efforts in this space span the range from more sophisticated configuration interfaces, to open application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow specialized control and data plane functions on commercial routers, to open software, open firmware, and open hardware platforms that enable tremendous flexibility in the functionality of network equipment. While these open interfaces continue to evolve, many have reached a level of maturity that allow practitioners to create holistic network centric functions and services by leveraging the available low level per-device mechanisms. Indeed, programmable network elements hold the promise of accelerating innovation and service deployment. At the same time, programmability could exacerbate already challenging network management tasks. As with previous PRESTO workshops, this session will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between researchers and industry practitioners, with a goal of driving service innovation in IP networks using novel extensible router and switch architectures. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Abstractions for programmable network elements. (Do we need programmability? How close to the "metal" should programmability be? E.g., configuration interfaces versus open APIs versus completely open platforms. Programming languages for programmable network elements.) - Architectures for open/programmable network elements, including transport, wireless and packet forwarding devices. - Efficient and flexible data plane programmability. (E.g., firmware versus multi-core platforms.) - Cross-layer aware programmability. - Network element virtualization and the interaction between programmability and virtualization. - Network composition, configuration and provisioning in virtualized environments. - Architectures, services and/or service features enabled by programmability. - The impact of programmability on network management and operations. Submission instructions The workshop solicits original papers on completed work, position papers, and/or work-in-progress papers on the challenges raised above. Papers that bring out new and interesting approaches at an early stage of their development are very welcome, as are papers that describe industry efforts related to the CFP. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length, must be a PDF file and must follow the formatting guidelines at http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2009/. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers can be submitted through the submission site at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/PRESTO09/ Important Dates Abstract submissions due: Friday, March 6 2009 Paper submissions due: Friday, March 13 2009 Acceptance Notification: Monday, April 13 2009 Camera Ready Due: Friday, May 8 2009 Workshop: Friday, August 21 2009 Program Chairs: Patrick Crowley, Washington University in St. Louis Dave Maltz, Microsoft Research Kobus Van der Merwe, AT&T Labs - Research Program Committee: Rahul Aggarwal, Juniper Networks Fred Baker, Cisco Systems Patrick Crowley, Washington University in St. Louis Nick Feamster, Georgia Tech Paul Francis, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems Tim Griffin, University of Cambridge T.V.

[Tccc] CFP-ACCESSNETS 2009
by Chadi Assi 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * ACCESSNETS 2009 * * Fourth International Conference on Access Networks * * November 2-4, 2009, Hong Kong, China * * http://www.accessnets.org * * * ************************************************************** Submission deadline: April 2, 2009 OVERVIEW: With the rapid growth of the Internet as well as the increasing demand for broadband services, access networks have been receiving growing investments in recent years. This has led to a massive network deployment with the goal of eliminating the bandwidth bottleneck between end-users and the network core. Today many diverse technologies are being used to provide broadband access to end users. The architecture and performance of the access segment (local loop, wired and wireless access networks, and even home networks) are getting increasing attention for ensuring quality of service of diverse broadband applications. Moreover, most access lines will no longer terminate on a single device, thus leading to the necessity of having a home network designed for applications that transcend simple Internet access sharing among multiple personal computers and enable multimedia support. Therefore, the access network and its home portion have become a hot investment pool from both a financial as well as a research perspective. The aim of the annual International Conference on Access Networks (AccessNets) is to provide a forum that brings together scientists and researchers from academia as well as managers and engineers from the industry and government organizations to meet and exchange ideas and recent work on all aspects of access networks and how they integrate with their in-home counterparts. AccessNets'09 is the fourth edition of this exciting event, which will be held in Hong Kong, China, on November 2-4, 2009. The conference will consist of technical sessions, industry track, workshops, and panels. The technical sessions will present original and fundamental research advances while the industry track, workshops and panels will focus on development, application, and related business issues in this hot and exciting area. TOPICS: The conference solicits original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * FTTx and PON technologies * xDSL technology and DSM * Hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) technology * Cable-based access technology * Powerline communication technology * Digital satellite access technology * WiFi and WiMax networks * Wireless mesh networks * Integrated wired/wireless networks * Long reach Ethernet * Home networks * Networked appliances * Hybrid wired/wireless LANs * Municipal and community networks * Network architectures and protocols * Medium access control * Cross-layer design * OFDM, OFDMA, CDMA techniques * MIMO techniques * Service convergence * Quality of service provisioning * Network scalability and upgradeability * Network survivability and security * Deployment/standardization statuses PANELS AND WORKSHOPS: We solicit panel and workshop proposals on hot and controversial topics in access networks. Proposals should be submitted to the panel and workshop co-chairs, respectively. Please visit the conference website for detailed instructions. PAPER SUBMISSION: Please visit the conference website (http://www.accessnets.org) for detailed instructions.
