Please accept our apologies for receiving multiple copies, and we appreciate if you can forward to potentially interested persons. --------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Third International Workshop on Feedback Control Implementation and Design in Computing Systems and Networks (FeBID 2008) Sponsored by ACM Sigmetrics 2008 http://www.controlofsystems.org/febid2008/ Traditional practice in performance modeling focuses on using a variety of techniques including mathematical modeling, simulation, and analysis to understand the behavior of systems for the purpose of better design and evaluation. As IT systems, networks, and services become increasingly complex, this task becomes ever more difficult. In recent years, there has been considerable success in applying feedback control theory to analyzing and designing run-time IT control systems. Feedback control theory complements traditional modeling by providing formal mechanisms to dynamically control behavior of systems at run-time. The Third International Workshop on Feedback Control Implementation and Design in Computing Systems and Networks (FeBID 2008) will be held June 6th, 2008 in Annapolis, Maryland, USA. The FeBID 2008 workshop will offer a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss recent and innovative results in applying control theory to controlling performance of computing systems and networks. It will provide a forum to exchange ideas and experiences on practical control system design and implementation and to identify future directions and challenges in aligning feedback control techniques with traditional performance modeling and simulation. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Control engineering and applications to server and network systems . Automated resource allocation . Virtual environment management . Centralized or distributed load balancing . Workload management . Power management . Automated configuration management . Congestion control and queue management . Control of IT services and business operations . Control of networks (overlay networks, sensor networks, wireless networks) . Control of middleware (Web servers, application servers, database servers) . Case studies in applying control theory to systems 2. Control models, methodologies and paradigms . Control system architecture . System identification and modeling techniques . Controllability and observability in computer and network systems . Actuator and sensor design .

[Fwd: [Tccc] Deadline approaching: CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine: "Practical aspects of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks"]
by Lars Wolf 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline approaching: CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine: "Practical aspects of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks" Datum: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:09:26 +0700 Von: Marcelo Dias de Amorim <Marcelo.Amorim(a)lip6.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please apologize for multiple copies. ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ******************** IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Practical aspects of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks" ********************************************************** Wireless and mobile computing advanced significantly in the last decade. In particular, we now face the possibility to spontaneously establish wireless self- organizing networks, such as ad hoc, disruption-tolerant, sensor, and wireless mesh networks. These spontaneous self-organizing networks have been the focus of intensive research activity in recent years. Spontaneous networks arise from the cooperation of mobile devices in an ad hoc fashion requiring no previous infrastructure in place. A key point to couple research and real-life applications in this context is to understand how mobility (of devices, users, and applications) impacts practical networking aspects. The knowledge accumulated so far in the area of wireless self-organizing networks is in general supported by either simulation or theoretical analysis relying on strong assumptions. The research community needs a step forward and should definitely consider real aspects of mobility in their protocols and algorithms. Such a situation is to be compared with the one found for infrastructure-based networks (e.g., cellular networks), in which mobility has been thoroughly investigated (both theoretically and through measurements) and properly incorporated in their management architecture. In wireless self-organizing networks, contrary to common belief, much is still to be done in this domain, and definitive solutions are still to emerge. Mobility can no longer be seen as an issue to be hidden from higher layers of the protocol stack, but as an expected characteristic of today's communication systems. In this context, it is of utmost importance to address issues related to the impact of mobility as seen in practice, covering characterization, modeling, and applications of mobility in modern wireless networks. The research community working on wireless self-organizing networks has recently started giving more attention to the practical mobility issues in this area. This may be attested by the increasing number of initiatives worldwide like the many measurement campaigns and the considerable body of developed theoretical background work supported by practical arguments (e.g., mobility models, mobility increasing network capacity, relationship between node mobility and wireless channel conditions). The goal of this special issue is to help filling this gap by presenting contributions ranging from the impact of mobility on self-organizing networks to mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. As we intend to focus on the practical impacts of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks, papers presenting insights from the applicability of mobility measurements and realistic mobility models in this context are also expected. We will be particularly interested in contributions that explore mobility to improve the behavior of network protocols and algorithms. We are soliciting papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics: * Mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. * Impact of mobility on self-organizing networks. * Practical applicability of wireless testbeds and mobility measurements. * Realistic mobility models for self-organizing networks. * Mobility-centric killer applications. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html. Submitted papers must be original and must not be under current consideration for publication in other venues.

See below for details. WORKSHOP SCOPE ---------------------------------------------------------------- A truly extended use of mobile computing technologies asks for effective software engineering techniques to design, develop and maintain novel ubiquitous services with challenging dependa- bility requirements in highly heterogeneous and error-prone mobile environments. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and environments, a variety of research studies have produced methods and proof-of-concept prototypes for sup- porting non-critical applications. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the challenging adapta- bility and dependability requirements of the emerging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile commerce, wireless control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance. Hence, it is becoming increasingly important: to devise con- ceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop adaptive and dependable systems; to provide analytical and simulation tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost- effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last year event, this workshop aims at fostering exchange of ideas and lively discussions in order to reduce the gap between research achievements and industrial applications in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable applications over mobile environments. The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Dependability and adaptation requirements and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; * Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependable and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; * Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based infrastructures; * Human-machine interaction and usability; * Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; * Cross-layer adaptation techniques; * End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile services; * Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; * Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; * Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiqui- tous systems; * Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adapta- tion to networks conditions; * Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services. DEMO COMPETITION, BEST PAPER, AND RELATED PRIZES ---------------------------------------------------------------- A Demo Competition (sponsored by NOKIA) will be conveniently scheduled to provide authors with the opportunity to run live demonstrations of their research and to interact directly with ADAMUS and other WoWMoM attendees that will be required to vote for the best demos (See below for demos submission guidelines).

2nd IEEE Workshop on Mission-Critical Networking (MCN'2008) http://www.criticalnet.org/ In conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM'2008 Phoenix, Arizona, April 13-18 Abstract Submission Deadline EXTENDED to Feb-15 "Mission-Critical Networking (MCN)" refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection, emergency and crisis intervention, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity and emergent behaviors. MCN should comprise the best possible networking technology, infrastructure and services that may alleviate the risk and help save the lives of both the general public and the network users. As advances in pervasive computing, wireless communication, ad hoc and mesh networking and networked sensor systems continue, more opportunities are being opened to mission-critical networks to benefit from these technologies. A primary challenge to the operations of mission-critical networks is to deploy a communication network that is dependable, autonomic, secure, and rapidly deployable. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of authorized and unauthorized entities, audio and video communication, secure emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, visual analytics, and service-oriented architecture. Another key feature for mission-critical networking is to support interactions among multiple heterogeneous networks. This workshop solicits high quality technical contributions to the area of mission-critical networking. The manuscript must explicitly address relevance to MCN. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: . Smart environments and infrastructures . Rapidly deployable services and networks . Vehicular networks . Body sensor networks . Cognitive and autonomic networks, protocols, and services . Ubiquitous networking and services . Security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and trade-offs . Sensor and actuator networks for information gathering and real-time control . Decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation . Trust management, security, interoperability, survivability and QoS support . Context-aware network and service management . Location determination and tracking . Energy efficiency . Admission, load and flow control . Visual analytics . Critical traffic and mobility analysis . Cross-layer design and optimization . Components and architectures for next-generation emergency calling and alerting . Network policy management . Testbeds, benchmarks, performance and experimental studies General Chairs .
