In recent years, peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture has aroused much attention both in research communities and in industries. It has played a vital role in wide spreading growth of multimedia applications including Multimedia Streaming, Video on Demand and P2P based IPTV services. P2P networking is promising for its several favourable characteristics, such as self-organization, selfconfiguration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services. On the other hand, new media compression standards such as MPEG-4, H.264 AVC and SVC (Scalable Video Coding) have revolutionized the digital media industry by proposition high quality, bandwidth-effective, and scalable delivery of digital content to heterogeneous networks and terminals. These standards will be widely used for Video-on-demand, digital video via cable/satellite/DSL, video streaming for Internet and wireless, and IPTV. It is expected that IPTV, as a new emerging application, will have a great potential to generate new revenue to service providers. Till now, a number of architectures have been proposed for multimedia streaming and IPTV services, but still there is need for new optimized models, metrics, and methodologies to enhance the Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia streaming and P2P-based IPTV services as a complete architecture. The effective contents delivery across the networks requires to intelligently adapting the digital contents in accordance to user preferences under the networks and terminals constraints with the efficient utilization of resources.

05 Feb '08

(Apologies for multiple copies of this message.) The REALWSN 2008 submission deadline is now less than one week away. Please note that this deadline is firm: no extensions are given! Important dates Electronic submissions due: 10 February, 2008 (FIRM DEADLINE - no extensions are given) Notification of acceptance: 3 March, 2008 Camera-ready copy due: 13 March, 2008 Workshop: 1 April 2008 The REALWSN'08 Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.sics.se/realwsn08/ April 1, 2008 Glasgow, Scotland In conjunction with ACM EuroSys 2008 The purpose of the third Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (5 pages, double column) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance. Published papers will also be published in the ACM Digital Library. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring, etc. * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates Electronic submissions due: 10 February, 2008 Notification of acceptance: 3 March, 2008 Camera-ready copy due: 13 March, 2008 Workshop: 1 April 2008 Organizers Workshop Chair: * Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science Technical program committee chairs: * Adam Dunkels, Swedish Institute of Computer Science * Pedro José Marron, University of Bonn, Germany Technical program committee: * Muneeb Ali, TU Delft, The Netherlands * Torsten Braun, University of Bern, Switzerland * Nirupama Bulusu, Portland State University, USA * Saumitra M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MCN-Infocom'08 -- Abstract Submission Deadline Feb-7 (few days left) Datum: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 17:29:51 -0500 Von: Mohamed Younis <younis(a)cs.umbc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: 'Silvia Giordano' <silvia.giordano(a)supsi.ch>, 'Moustafa Youssef' <moustafa.youssef(a)gmail.com> 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 Feb-7 "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 .

MMNS will provide participants with a high quality and intimate setting for discussion and debate. The conference is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society and specifically the Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). SCOPE OF MMNS 2008 Since 1997, MMNS has established itself as a major conference for research and innovation in the management of multimedia technology and networked services. The scope of the conference has been expanded in recent years to include management of emerging mobile and wireless networks. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from academia and industry interested in state-of-the-art management of converged multimedia networks and services across heterogeneous networking infrastructures, while creating a public venue for result dissemination and intellectual collaboration. The convergence of existing and emerging technologies such as broadband, mobile, and broadcast networks is considered as a promising opportunity for existing providers to increase theirs service subscriber base so that 4G vision and beyond becomes a reality. An important research effort is undertaken by main actors to face the multidimensional, in terms of transport technology, session signalling, and QoS provisioning, heterogeneity of Next Generation Networks (NGNs). Efficient management of these services is a key ingredient in the effort to provide cost effective, innovative services, and mass market solutions that are likely to become a major source of income for different stakeholders. The need to evolve management tools, solutions, platforms and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobile and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, triple play (data/voice/video) convergence, and the integration of embedded computing and communications. The academic and industry research communities should unify forces to address the challenges of developing and operating converged multimedia networks and services. Inevitably, integrated management is a key element in addressing this challenge. The MMNS 2008 technical program committee is soliciting research papers in the broad area of network and service management that address new models, architectures and technological designs to enable multimedia and mobility proliferation in NGNs. MMNS 2008 intends to continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, and will emphasize and solicit novel research in the management of converged multimedia networks and services.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: INFOCOM Workshop on AUTOMATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT (ANM'08), Deadline Feb 22 Datum: Sun, 03 Feb 2008 21:47:05 +0100 Von: Gunnar Karlsson <gk(a)ee.kth.se> Organisation: KTH EE/LCN An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Referenzen: <001d01c864e6$299eae60$e632ed82@s0902> ******************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE Workshop on AUTOMATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT (ANM'08) "Self-Configuration for Large-scale Dynamic Networks" April 18, 2008 http://www.ee.kth.se/lcn/anm08 in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2008, April 13-18, Phoenix, AZ ******************************************************** Despite recent research and development efforts, network management remains a key challenge for network operators. The time and cost of deploying, configuring and operating networks, already significant today, is expected to increase even further due to the exponential growth in numbers of network elements in the Internet, mobile networks, etc. Furthermore, the increasing sophistication and dynamic nature of many new networks and services make configuration more complex and further mandate continuous adaptation and validation of active configurations in real-time. These factors present major obstacles for the continued growth of networked systems. To overcome these obstacles, we need not only engineering principles for automated configuration management, but also real-time monitoring functions that trigger adaptation of configuration. The ultimate goals are to support future large-scale networks that will self- configure, dynamically adapt to external events and allow for low-cost operation. Current practices in configuration management are generally performed through low-level interfaces on a per-device basis. However, it is hard if not infeasible to generate, validate and tune configuration parameters in large-scale networks. On the other hand, many of the existing top-down configuration approaches lack scalability and testability in operational networks. Similarly, existing end-to-end monitoring applications usually depend on low-level network activity information, such as traffic counters, MIB variables, device logs, and alarms. A major challenge then is how to efficiently aggregate and analyze these data to construct high-level views of network operations in real-time. The theme for the first ANM workshop will be "Self-configuration for Large-scale Dynamic Networks," which relates to the aforementioned challenges. ANM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange both ideas and real- life experiences concerning next-generation network management. The workshop will provide a small-group setting for effective discussions and debate. The workshop solicits original papers on both completed work and work-in- progress. Papers that bring out new and interesting approaches at an early stage of their development are very welcome. The workshop will be held in conjunction with INFOCOM 2008, which draws many leading researchers in the field of networking. Papers on all topics of network management will be considered. Submission in the following areas are especially encouraged: * Languages and abstractions for configuration management * Analysis of network-wide and systems configurations * Configuration refinement and deployment * Testing of control and data plane configuration * Automatic and adaptive control of networks * Algorithms for distributed monitoring and threshold detection * Tunable monitoring algorithms * Adaptive management protocols for computing global states * Real-time monitoring and control * Analysis of tradeoffs between performance, availability and security * Traffic-aware configuration management * Non-intrusive network instrumentation for monitoring and control * Scalable management approaches * Data-driven event correlation * Proactive and risk-aware management * Management of application overlays and peer-to-peer services * Formal models for network management * Fault Management and aspects of survivability, availability Important Dates =============== Abstract Submission: February 15, 2008 Paper Submission: February 22, 2008 Acceptance Notification: March 14, 2008 Camera Ready Due: March 20, 2008 Workshop: April 18, 2008 Submissions =========== Submissions must be original work not under review for any other workshop, conference or journal.

The Best demo will be awarded with a special NOKIA hi-tech gift! - The BEST PAPER will be also awarded with another NOKIA gift! - ADAMUS'08 will open with a KEYNOTE TALK by Franklin Reynolds, NOKIA distinguished engineering fellow. 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). Best demos will be awarded with special Nokia gifts based on their review scores, on-site voting results, and technical program committee evaluation. The best full paper will be awarded as well with another Nokia gift, based on review scores. The BEST DEMO PRIZE will consist of a Nokia N95 8GB multimedia computer (http://www.nseries.com/products/n95_8gb/). The BEST PAPER PRIZE will be a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet device (http://www.nseries.com/products/n810/index.html). NOKIA KEYNOTE TALK ---------------------------------------------------------------- We are proud to announce ADAMUS 2008 will open with a Keynote Talk by Franklin Reynolds, distinguished engineering fellow at the Nokia Research Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
