[Tccc] [CFP] P2P-NVE 2008 -- Paper Submission 7-day Reminder
by publication acnlab 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

[Paper Submission Firm Deadline: July 25Call for Papers ] The 2nd International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Networked Virtual Environments in conjunction with The 14th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS 2008) December 8 -10, 2008 Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA http://acnlab.csie.ncu.edu.tw/P2PNVE2008/ Theme, Scope, and Motivation* *PURPOSE AND SCOPE The rapid growth and popularity of networked virtual environments (NVEs) such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) in recent years have spawned a series of research interests in constructing such large-scale virtual environments. For increasing scalability and decreasing the cost of management and deployment, more and more studies propose using peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures to construct large-scale NVEs for games, multimedia virtual worlds and other applications. The goal of such research may be to support an Earth-scale virtual environment or to make hosting virtual worlds more affordable than existing client-server approaches. However, existing solutions for consistency control, persistent data storage, multimedia data dissemination, and cheat-prevention may not be straightforwardly adapted to such new environments, novel ideas and designs thus are needed to realize the potential of P2P-based NVEs. The 1st International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Networked Virtual Environments (P2P-NVE 2007) was held in Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 2007. To adhere to the theme of P2P-NVE 2007, the theme of P2P-NVE 2008 is to solicit original and previously unpublished new ideas on general P2P schemes and on the design and realization of P2P-based NVEs. The workshops aim to facilitate discussions and idea exchanges by both academics and practitioners. Student participations are also strongly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *P2P systems and infrastructures *Applications of P2P systems *Performance evaluation of P2P systems *Trust and security issues in P2P systems *Network support for P2P systems *Fault tolerance in P2P systems *Efficient P2P resource lookup and sharing *Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) and related issues *Constructions of P2P overlays for NVEs *Multicast for P2P NVEs *P2P NVE content distribution *3D streaming for P2P NVEs *Voice communication on P2P NVEs *Persistent storage for P2P NVEs *Security and cheat-prevention mechanisms for P2P games *Data structures and queries for P2P NVEs *Consistency control for P2P NVEs *Design considerations for P2P NVEs *Prototypes of P2P NVEs *P2P control for mobile NVEs *P2P NVE applications on mobile devices IMPORTANT DATES Submission: July 25, 2008 Notification: August 25, 2008 Camera ready: September 12, 2008 PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts, not to exceed 6 double-columned, single-spaced pages, to web site http://acnlab.csie.ncu.edu.tw/P2PNVE2008.

International Workshop on Collaboration and Cognition in Next Generation Networks (CoNGN 2008) www.criticalnet.org/CoNGN In conjunction with CollaborateCom 2008 Orlando, Florida, November 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The rapid developments in the Internet and emerging alternative network protocol stacks promise unprecedented levels of sharing of information, computing and communication resources through distributed collaborations of diverse network elements. Collaborative networking comprises complex systems with many tunable interdependent components, parameters and network performance objectives. To realize their potential, collaborative networks need to provide effective and efficient support for ubiquitous integration of heterogeneous technologies such as mobile devices and infrastructures, web services, grid computing systems, various operating environments, and diverse COTS products. In addition, research is needed to provide network cognition, which entails learning and reasoning by the diverse network elements to dynamically select the ideal network operating state and adapt to varying network and group contexts in order to optimize end-to-end performance of the network as a whole. Moreover, networking aspects such as autonomicity, security, trust, management, quality-of-service support and localization need to be cognizant of group dynamics. Aparently, numerous challenges face the realization of collaborative networking. These challenges include balancing the competing goals of collaboration, autonomy and security; allowing mobile users and groups to seamlessly communicate throughout multiple heterogeneous networks and enjoy multiparty multimedia applications while on the move between different administrative domains; developing new APIs to enable applications to detect available access networks and learn their characteristics, thus becoming aware of location, context, and quality-of-service; and carefully optimizing network parameters across the entire protocol stack. The key goal of this workshop is to foster active interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate added momentum towards research addressing collaborative and cognitive networking aspects. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: Architectural principles for decentralized information, computing and communication resource sharing Moving networks and dynamic coalition environments Collaboration-aware network management Peer-to-peer collaborative networking Bio-inspired collaborative networking Cognitive and autonomic network protocols and services Collaborative sensor-actuator networks Policy-based management of collaborative networks Coopererative, un-cooperative, and anti-cooperative behavior characterization, identification, modeling, and impact analysis Context modelling and management in collaborative networks Network monitors, API and network discovery services Security, trust, and privacy models, frameworks, architectures, and systems for collaborative networks Security, dependability, privacy, QoS, performance, and energy awareness and trade-offs Middleware for large-scale, distributed, multi-modal collaboration Admission, delegation, accountability, and information flow control in collaborative networks Ubiquitous communication support for social networking Web services and grid technologies for supporting multidomain collaborative applications Testbeds and experimental frameworks for collaboration and cognition in network prtocol stacks General Co-Chairs Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA Silvia Geordano, University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA Program Chairs Deepa Kundur, Texas A&M University, USA Cristina Pinotti, University of Perguia, Italy M.

11th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management 1 - 5 June, 2009, New York, New York, USA "Making Management Scalable, Robust, Cost-Effective and Revenue-Generating" http://www.ieee-im.org/ The Eleventh IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) will be held on 1 - 5 June 2009 at Columbia University in New York, New York, USA. The IM series of conferences has been held in odd-numbered years since 1989 (taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS), and has established itself as the main venue for original research in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. IM 2009 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). Despite the ongoing research in the last two decades, and the great improvements in management tools and systems, integrated management of networked systems is still facing many challenges. With a continued increase in connectivity and the deployment of wireless technologies, there has been a dramatic growth in the size and complexity of networked systems at the same time that reliance upon them has increased. This dependence has highlighted the need for these systems to be reliable, secure and have predictable performance characteristics. Management mechanisms are keys to achieving these goals, but they must not add significantly to complexity and cost or the problems will be compounded. In short we need to Make Management Scalable, Robust, and Cost-effective, and to make sure it helps generate the revenue to support it. IM 2009 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share Practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, and birds-of-a-feather sessions. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services. Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the IM 2009 web site. Papers must be written in English. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions will be rejected without further review. Full papers are required for review. If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10 printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style. For samples and templates, please refer to the IM 2009 author instructions.
