Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of the cfp. ************************ 3rd CALL FOR PAPERS ************************ IWSOS 2008 3rd International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems - Self-Organizing Networks and Networked Systems - December 10-12, 2008 Vienna, Austria http://iwsos.ani.univie.ac.at/ submission deadline (full papers): June 22, 2008 !!! NEWS: Online submission system is open !!! !!! Increased max. full paper size: 12 pages !!! ********************************************************************* Workshop Scope -------------- IWSOS 2008 is the third workshop in a series of annual workshops dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems. The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future networked systems, like the future Internet. For example, these networks will consist of interconnected infrastructure-based, mobile ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user requirements, such as resilience and real-time guarantees. Although self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited. Research into networked systems has recently started to systematically investigate self-organization, which has lead to a multitude of open research issues. The applicability of well-known self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked systems has to be investigated, as well as adaptations and novel approaches inspired by, e.g., cooperation in nature and evolutionary dynamics, sociology, and game theory. Additionally, models originating from areas like feedback control and complex system's research, are required for these networked systems in order to analyze their controllability and emergent behavior. Aspects of engineering self-organizing networked systems should be studied that discuss paradigms like programmable networks, and tools and frameworks for deploying, testing, and monitoring self-organizing networks. The role of self-organization in the future Internet and the impact on its architecture is an important topic, as well as the application of self-organization in future intelligent transportation systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks. Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization for networked systems by including the following key topics (not a restricted list): * Self-organization and self-management * Self-configuration and self-optimization * Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing * Autonomic networking principles and practice * Control theory based models and approaches of self-organization * Feedback control in networked systems * Group-forming networks and techniques * Programmable and cognitive networks for self-organization * Visualization of network system state * Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society (e.g., bio-inspired or based on game theory) * Risks in self-organization and risk management techniques * The (un-)controllability of self-organizing emergent systems * Quality of Service / service level agreements and self-organization * Resilience, robustness, and fault tolerance for networked systems * Security in self-organizing networked systems * Self-* sensor and ad-hoc networks * Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks * Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering * Self-* networks and networked systems for ubiquitous computing * Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence * Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet * Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks * Self-organizing vehicular ad-hoc networks * Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network services * Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks * Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home network * The human in the loop of self-organizing networked systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline (full papers): June 22, 2008 * Notification of acceptance (full papers): September 1, 2008 Initial Submission (full papers) -------------------------------- IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal.

[Tccc] CFP - Communications Magazine - Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications
by Chin, Woon Hau 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Call for Papers Submission Deadline - 15 June 2008 IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications In wireless networks, relays have been traditionally used to extend the range of communication systems. However, in recent years, other applications of relay communications have emerged. One such emerging application is to assist in the communication between the source and destination via some cooperation protocol. By controlling medium access between source and relays coupled with the appropriate modulation or coding in such cooperative schemes, it has been found that the diversity of the system can be improved. In multi-user systems, different users can also act as cooperative partners or relays to share resources and assist each other in information transmission, thereby creating a cooperative network. One other emerging application is the exchange of information between multiple users through relay(s). In such cases, by exploiting the knowledge of one's own transmitted signal, the throughput of these systems can be drastically increased. For cooperative and relay communications, the MAC layer also has many unique features. The MAC in this case, is concerned with more than one hop communication, is distributed and cooperative and works for multipoint-to-multipoint communication. The MAC also needs to have knowledge about network topology and account for node mobility. Accordingly, a new design of the MAC layer has to be devised to include new functionalities as well as MAC layer routing. With the large benefits to be reaped from employing cooperative and relay techniques, several standardization groups, such as IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.11, have started standardization processes to include such technologies into their prevailing standards. These efforts will no doubt attract even more interests from the academia and industry, advancing cooperative and relay technologies even further in the coming years. With interests from both the research and industrial communities gaining momentum, there is an urgent need to better understand as well as to keep track of cutting edge research in cooperative and relay communications. We plan this special issue to help address that need, as well as to help researchers looking to jump on the bandwagon. Therefore, the special issue will focus on recent advances as well as survey papers in cooperative and relay communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following topics: . Cooperative algorithms and protocols . Partner(s) selection in cooperative relay and routing . Cooperative resource allocation and management . Relay strategies for cooperative communications .

I apologize for multiple copies. --------------------------------------------------------- Internet Network Management Workshop 2008 October 19, 2008 - Orlando, Florida http://www.cs.rice.edu/~eugeneng/inm08/index.html Co-located with ICNP 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Abstract Submission: July 14, 2008 (5:00pm EDT) - Extended Paper Submission: July 14, 2008 (5:00pm EDT) - Extended Acceptance Notification: August 6, 2008 Camera Ready Due: September 5, 2008 Workshop: October 19, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- In many ways, computer network management remains the least understood aspect of computer networking. There is a lack of well-established principles for guiding the design of networks for manageability. There is also a lack of scientific theories for analyzing the state of a network and for the evolution of network state. The Internet Network Management (INM) workshop provides an opportunity to elevate participants' collective experience with IP networks into ideas, principles, and theories that can be leveraged in today's networks, or can be carried forward into the clean-slate design of future networks that intrinsically support management, rather than treating management as a bolted-on afterthought. The INM workshop seeks original and thought provoking ideas, case studies, experimental results, position papers, and clean-slate designs. Submissions concerning special-purpose networks, such as VoIP, content distribution, or mobile wireless networks are welcome. The workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of experience and work-in-progress discussions. Topics of Interest: * new abstractions for network configuration management * new control plane architectures * data plane mechanisms to support management * autonomous network management systems with predictive/proactive behaviors * ensuring stability and coherent behavior in distributed and/or autonomous systems * management of backbone, access, enterprise and home networks and network-based applications * techniques and experiments for evaluating network management architectures * experimental platforms that support network management research * comparisons between IP network management and ATM, SONET, or telephony management * defining and enforcing network borders * automatic and adaptive control of networks * cross-layer interactions, including IP/optical or applications/IP * hitless planned maintenance * fault and performance management Sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society IEEE Communications Society ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues
