-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP CoMMVE'09 at KiVS 2009 Datum: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:51:46 +0200 Von: Gregor Schiele <gregor.schiele(a)UNI-MANNHEIM.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 Liebe Mitglieder der KuVS-Liste, anbei der CfP des 'Workshops on Concepts of Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments' (CoMMVE) auf der KiVS 2009. Wir freuen uns auf viele hochkarätige Einreichungen. Viele Grüße Gregor Schiele -- Dr. Gregor Schiele Chair of Information Systems II University of Mannheim, Germany http://becker.bwl.uni-mannheim.de/9.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The 1st International Workshop on Concepts of Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (CoMMVE) at the 16th ITG/GI Kommunikation in verteilten Systemen 2009 March 5th or 6th, 2009 Kassel, Germany http://www.peers-at-play.org/CoMMVE09/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Massively multiuser virtual environments (MMVEs) allow a large number of users all over the world to experience a shared virtual 3D world and to interact in it with each others. While commercial MMVEs like World of Warcraft, Second Life, or Sony Home already exist, there are still a large number of open issues and important research questions that must be addressed in order to realize truly massive environments, both in terms of the size of the environment as well as the number of its concurrent users. The ultimate goal of this development is a worldwide system that spans whole virtual planets with many millions of users. To achieve this, systems must be developed that are - at the same time - extremely scalable, highly interactive, secure and reliable. They must support a consistent view of the environment for all users. Updates to the environment, both its infrastructure as well as its content, must be applied at runtime. The operation and further development of systems must be cost-effective and profitable, thus stimulating investment in them. Existing MMVEs are based on mostly static, fixed infrastructures, in which predefined server clusters are preassigned to different functions for operating the MMVE. Such systems are currently able to support thousands of concurrent users. This requires the system's operator to provide all necessary resources, like compute power, memory and network bandwidth. To become truly massive, future systems must be made much more flexible and must build on self-organising, adaptive systems. One promising approach is the use of peer-to-peer architectures, because a substatial amount of the necessary hardware resources are contributed by the users themselves. Thus the amount of resources in the system grows with the number of users. While peer-to-peer technology is already being used sucessfully today in many applications, e.g. for Internet telephony and the distribution of software updates, its applicability in highly interactive and distributed virtual 3D environments is still challenging and comprises numerous research and engineering challenges. The goal of this workshop is to gather researchers and practitioners in the area of MMVEs under one roof to discuss their findings, identify future research areas, incite collaborations, and move the state of the art forward. Topics ------ The workshop addresses the following topics related to building, operating, and using MMVEs: 1. Basic networking support, e.g. peer to peer networking for MMVEs, 2. MMVE hosting and software as a service (SAAS), 3. Bandwidth restricted (mobile) end user devices, 4. Self-organization and adaptation, 5. Placement and relocation strategies, 6. Scalability, 7. Interactivity, 8. Consistency, 9. Reliability and persistency, 10. Security and privacy, 11. Interoperability and integration of virtual environments, 12. User generated content, 13. Updating and content streaming, e.g. 3D streaming, 14. Evaluations and case studies of existing systems, 15. Development support and middleware platforms. Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Paper submissions must cover one of the topics listed above, or a closely-related one. We will prioritize experience papers describing lessons learnt from built systems, including information about approaches that did and did not work, unexpected results, common abstractions, and metrics for evaluating distributed virtual environment distribution approaches. One of the key issues to debate is the underlying structure of distributed virtual environment systems, which includes different possible configurations such as peer-to-peer, central-server-based, and hybrid models. Submitted papers should be about 10-12 pages long, use the ECEASST format and must be blinded (see the workshop web page for more info). Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All submissions will be peer-reviewed (double blind) and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented at the workshop and will be published in the Open-Access Journal "Electronic Communications of the EASST" (ECEASST) (http://eceasst.cs.tu-berlin.de/index.php/eceasst). If you have any questions, please email us at commve(a)peers-at-play.org.

[Mycolleagues] AASN'2008: Call for Paper, less than one week to deadline
by Youssef IRAQI 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Autonomous and Automated Sensor Networks, AASN http://sigappfr.acm.org/cstst08/workshops/aasn/ To be held in conjunction with The 5th IEEE International Conference on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSTST’2008), Cergy-Pontoise/Paris, FRANCE, October 26-30, 2008. Summary and Topics: Thanks to technological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an increasing attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many applications, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and scientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating works in addressing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols, architecture, operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent needs to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous requirements are highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing and manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These techniques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundreds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is still facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spatially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in performing the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network and guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especially that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hostile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible. Since predefined and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networked sensing devices, automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in addressing upcoming developments that target multi-services, collaborating, or competing sensor networks. To reach these goals, the first International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is seeking novel ideas in the following topics that include, but not limited to: - Heterogeneous sensor networks - Multi-service sensor networks - Sensor network control - Automated sensing activities - Competing sensors or sensor networks - Collaborating sensors and sensor networks - Semantic-based management of sensor networks - Resource management in sensor networks - Context awareness in sensor networks - Self-organization and self-adaptation in sensor networks - New architectures and protocols for sensor networks - New sensor network applications - Sensor network maintenance - Intelligent sensors and sensor networks - Data management in sensor networks - Data and resource sharing in sensor networks Important Dates: Submission deadline: August 17th 2008 Acceptance notification: September 07th 2008 Camera ready papers: September 17th 2008 Submission Guidelines: (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cstst08) This Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF or MS Word files and should be uploaded using the conference website. Full paper submissions should be in ACM format with a limit of 6 pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 independent reviewers of the PC. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics. At least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be indexed by ACM Digital Libraries and published with an ISBN.

[Tccc] Call for Papers (VINT - 08)
by Jensen Chou 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

================================================================== Call for Papers The First International Workshop on Wireless Vehicular Networking Technology (*VINT-08*), November 17-19, 2008, Maui, Hawaii, USA http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VINT08/ To be held in conjunction with The Fourth Annual International Wireless Internet Conference (WICON 2008) ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks 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, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website (http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VINT08/ISAS/). The manuscript should be written in English and follow ACM two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is five (5) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. Accepted papers will be made available in the ACM Digital Library. Important Dates ---------------* Submission deadline: August 20, 2008 Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2008 Camera-ready version: October 15, 2008* General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan -- Jensen, C.-M.

Call For Papers Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Journal SPECIAL ISSUE: "Privacy and Security in Wireless Sensor and Ad Hoc Networks" Wireless sensor and ad hoc networks have many applications in military, homeland security and other areas. Security is critical for such networks deployed in a hostile environment. In civilian applications, however, privacy concerns of these networks could become a more serious impediment to their popular adoption. Providing privacy and security in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks is more challenging than those in traditional wired networks because wireless communications use shared medium and thus are vulnerable to many attacks. Providing privacy and security in sensor networks is further complicated by the network scale, the highly constrained system resources and the difficulty of dealing with node compromises. The main purpose of this special issue is to promote further research interests and activities on privacy and security in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers in various aspects of privacy and security in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks. Topics of interest include: * Privacy issues in wireless sensor networks * Privacy issues in vehicular ad hoc networks * Location privacy and source anonymity * Secure localization and secure routing protocols * Key distribution and management * Trust management * Secure data aggregation * Authentication and authorization * Study of attack strategies, attack modeling * Study of tradeoffs between security and system performance * Denial of service attacks and prevention * Cross layer security and privacy attacks and solutions Authors are requested to prepare their papers according to the Guide For Authors on http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc and to submit their paper to the online submission and reviewing system, at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc. They should choose the article type, Special Issue-Privacy & Security in WSN. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: October 20, 2008 First Round of Review: February 20, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: March 31, 2009 Publication Date: June 2009.
