[Tccc] CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS , Delay Tolerant Networks: Protocols and Applications
by Thanos Vasilakos 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Call for Book Chapter Title: Delay Tolerant Networks: Protocols and Applications (to be published by <http://www.taylorandfrancisgroup.com/> Auerbach Publications, CRC Press, Taylor&Francis Group) Proposal Deadline: 20 January 2009. Introduction Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) arises primarily as a result of various forms of host and router mobility, but may also come into being as a result of disconnection due to power management or interference. Examples of such networks include: * Terrestrial Mobile Networks: In many cases, these networks may become un-expectedly partitioned due to node mobility or RF interference. In other cases, the network may never have an end to end path and may be expected to be partitioned in a periodic and predictable manner. * Exotic Media Networks: Exotic communication media includes near-Earth satel-lite communications, very long-distance radio links (e.g. deep space RF communications with light propagation delays in the seconds or minutes), communication using acoustic modulation in air or water, and some free-space optical communications. These systems may be subject to high latencies with predictable interruption (e.g. due to planetary dy-namics or the passing of a scheduled ship), may suffer outage due to environmental conditions (e.g. weather), or may provide a predictably available store-and-forward network service that is only occasionally available (e.g. low-earth orbiting satellites that "pass" by one or more times each day). * Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks: These networks are frequently characterized by extremely limited end-node power, memory, and CPU capability. Recommended Topics (not limited to) * Routing, broadcast, multicast * Medium Access Control * Self-x properties, i.e. self-organization, self-management, self-healing and self-protection * Economic approaches and social model * Learning techniques * Design, analysis and simulation * Network coding * P2p * Mobility * Robustness and stability * Security, immunity and resilience * Auto-configuration, authentication and trust management * Bio-computing inspired approaches * Generic network-level service composition at run-time * Context Transparency and Awareness * Sensor networks-based DTN * Ambient, invisible, implicit, and adaptive computing * Context-aware computing and location-based services and applications * Testbed, prototype and experiment * Challenges, visions and roadmap Important Dates You are invited to submit a 1-2 pages proposal discribing the topic of your chapter. The proposal should include the chapter summary, table of content, and contact authors. Estimatedly, each chapter should has about 35 pages with 12 font size, double-space format. Proposal Deadline: 20 January 2009 Notification of proposal acceptance: 31 Jan. 2009 Full chapter submission: 30 April 2009 Note: each lead chapter author will get a free copy of the book.

[acf-members] IEEE ACNM'09 Call for Paper
by Stefan Schmid 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Network Management (ACNM 2009) June 5, 2009 - Long Island, NY, USA http://acnm09.nw.neclab.eu/ In conjunction with the IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss new theories, mechanisms and applications of Autonomic Communication - a new paradigm for forthcoming networks in the fixed as well as the mobile world. The focus of ACNM is on intelligent communication, network control and management paradigms based on smart network and service elements that are capable to automatically configure and organize themselves. Autonomic networks will be able to sense their environment to perceive these changes, to understand the meaning of these changes, and to react in an intelligent manner through adaptation. This facilitates new ways to perform network control, management, service creation, etc. Autonomic networking naturally also applies to mission critical distributed systems, since autonomic behavior allows for immediate reaction to changes in the networking environment or context, and correction of any (predicted) problems. Such behavior also facilitates fault-tolerance and resilience. ACNM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange their research ideas and findings. The workshop will be held in conjunction with IM 2009, which draws many leading researchers in the field of Network and Systems Management. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the EU IST Project ANA. *** TOPICS *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Autonomic network architectures and principles - Paradigms, tools and techniques autonomic communication systems - Control and management in dynamic/mobile network environments - Self-management of communication systems and networks (e.g., based on peer-to-peer principles) - Policy control for autonomic networks & systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for autonomic networks - Advances in and application of control theory - Self-co-operating peer-to-peer networks - Self-organizing network elements, and administrative domains - Self-* technologies - Fault-tolerance and resilience - Cognitive networking - Plug and play networking components - Knowledge based network control - Bio-inspired networks and systems - Experiences with self-* solutions - Application of autonomic management to mobile and wireless networking including 3GPP evolved UTRAN, SAE networks, etc. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** - Submission deadline: January 26th, 2009 - Notification of acceptance: March 2nd, 2009 - Camera ready version: March 16th, 2009 *** PAPER SUBMISSION *** Papers must be original material, not currently be under review, and not have been previously published by another conference or journal.

First call for papers: MobiArch 2009
by Xiaoming Fu 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Dear colleagues, Please apologize us if you receive multiple copies of the CFP. Best regards, Xiaoming ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers The 4th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2009) Co-located with MobiSys, 22 June 2009, Kraków, Poland http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~mobiarch/2009/ With the recent development of technologies in wireless access and mobile devices, user, terminal, and network mobility has become an indispensable component of today's Internet vision, and it is likely to continue in the near future, while affecting the whole architectural design of the future Internet. Yet, issues like efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, wireless access and related operational/deployment concerns are still in their early stages of development. Moreover, the Internet architecture, its end-to-end principles, and business models will require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as efficient and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies may pose additional challenges to the Internet architecture since they introduce design principles different from the original Internet. MobiArch 2009 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. Furthermore, the potential of usability of mobility services for connecting people and devices in developing regions of the world into the Internet infrastructure will be also explored. Topics of MobiArch 2009 cover all aspects of architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: • Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on the Internet architecture • Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in link, network, transport to session/application layers and cross-layer design • Location management, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues • Security and privacy issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture • Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in extreme environments (e.g., remote areas, developing countries) • Performance issues with mobility in the Internet • QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture • Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) • Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design • Technologies for mobile wireless access and interactions Submissions must present original results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 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. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS (http://edas.info/7188). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 22 February 2009 Acceptance Notification: 31 March 2009 Camera Ready Due: 15 April 2009 Workshop Date: 22 June 2009 TPC Chairs: Jörg Ott Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Kun Tan Microsoft Research Asia

[Tccc] Reminder: CfP IEEE JSAC SI on Bio-inspired Networking
by Falko Dressler 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) BIO-INSPIRED NETWORKING Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of massively networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally distributed and unsupervised way. Recently, a number of approaches inspired by biological mechanisms and phenomena have been proposed as a strategy to handle the complexity of massively distributed systems such as the Internet, or wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The goal of bio-inspired approaches is to discover and to adapt biological methods to technical solutions that are showing similarly high stability, adaptability, and scalability as biological entities often have. This special issue intends to highlight the latest achievements in the new research domain of bio-inspired networking. In particular, the issue focuses on methodologies for identifying relevant biological mechanisms, the modeling of these mechanisms, and their application to technical solutions. Prospective articles are expected to outline either proof of concept studies with direct comparison to classical technical solutions, or theoretical mathematical models of biological principles associated with fundamental challenges in communication systems. For this special issue, we consider all techniques with direct biological background including animal learning strategies, self-organizing methods as observed from swarms down to nano-structures that are observed and analyzed in molecular biology. Classical complex systems research is explicitly excluded from the scope whereas a comparison to well-known techniques in this domain is appreciated. This special issue is dedicated to bio-inspired approaches addressing various aspects of networking and communication systems. The topics of interest include the following domains: - Self-organizing communication systems - Evolutionary and adaptive systems and protocols - Scalable systems and protocols - Self-learning algorithms - Self-healing systems and protocols - Security mechanisms - Network algorithms and protocols - Scalable and adaptive network architectures - Congestion control mechanisms - Performance evaluation of bio-inspired networks Original unpublished contributions, and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to IEEE-JSAC guidelines (please note the mandatory overlength page charges of $220/page after the first 7 pages). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via email to dressler(a)ieee.org according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: March 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2009 Final Manuscript due to Pub: December 1, 2009 Publication: 2nd quarter 2010 Guest Editors - Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany (dressler(a)ieee.org) - Tatsuya Suda, University of California, Irvine, USA (suda(a)ics.uci.edu) - Iacopo Carreras, Create-Net, Italy (iacopo.carreras(a)create-net.org) - Masayuki Murata, Osaka University, Japan (murata(a)ist.osaka-u.ac.jp) - Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK (Jon.Crowcroft(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) -- Dr. Falko Dressler Computer Networks and Communication Systems University of Erlangen, Germany Phone: +49 9131 85-27914 / Fax: +49 9131 85-27409 mailto:dressler@informatik.uni-erlangen.de http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

09 Jan '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP EVICS - IEEE Workshop on Environmental and Social Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems Datum: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 08:38:21 +0100 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-ERLANGEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Environmental and Social Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems (EVICS) http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/evics2009/ held in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2009 June 19, 2009, Kos, Greece Aims and Scope -------------- The establishment of network connections among vehicles and between vehicles and an existing network infrastructure is one of the most challenging research fields in the networking domain. Vehicles can be seen as a mobile communication infrastructure with strong dynamics w.r.t. network topology and changing communication channel conditions. The applications are manifold ranging from comfort services, e.g. traffic information systems, to safety applications, e.g. emergency warnings. Until now, the development of protocols was primarily inspired by existing Internet solutions and the advances in mobile ad hoc networking. However, the specific characteristics of vehicular networks may require quite different communication paradigms. For example, the nodes usually do not have severe power and form factor constraints, and they might be always on. On the other hand, wireless connections may not be stable for a longer time period and the network density is expected to vary from sparse to very dense networks. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for novel solutions and services looking into V2V and V2I communication issues focusing on environmental aspects such as optimized CO2 emission, and road traffic shaping, i.e. optimized usage of available routes for all vehicles. Furthermore, con-cerning the drivers or users of vehicles, the service aspect is especially challenging in public trans-portation and for fleet management. The workshop will highlight the latest achievements in the research area of vehicular communication, with the goal of bringing together the different research communities. We especially target protocols and solutions besides simple "802.11+MANET" based solutions and explicitly encourage submission of scientifically sound experimental work. Authors are required to center their work around the environmental and social impacts of IVC and clearly state in the abstract how one or more of these issues are addressed in the paper. We are looking for both technical and position papers presenting new applications for IVC that we have not seen so far, and new ways to exploit existing communication techniques for more efficient IVC. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication * Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC) and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) * Exploiting IVC and intra-vehicular networks for improved safety * IVC for reduced CO2 emission and road traffic shaping * IVC algorithms, protocols, and services (MAC, routing, data dissemination, Internet-connectivity) * IVC related security, safety, and privacy issues and conflicts * Mobility modeling and simulation environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2009 proceedings, hence manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (max. 6 pages, IEEE 8.5x11 conference format). Submission will be handled by EDAS (<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7217&>).
