[Tccc] CfP: ACM SIGMOBILE MobilityModels'08 at MobiHoc'08
by Mirco Musolesi 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP. --------------------------------------------------------- MobilityModels'08 First ACM SIGMOBILE International Workshop on Mobility Models for Networking Research Colocated with ACM SIGMOBILE MobiHoc'08 Hong Kong 26 or 30 May 2008 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/mobilitymodels08/ *Scope of the Workshop* One of the key issues in the evaluation of algorithms, protocols and systems for mobile networks is modeling node mobility. Different types of models have been proposed in the last decade, from those founded on purely synthetic movements, such as the ones based on purely random movements of the nodes to the ones based aiming at reproducing the mobility patterns inside specific places like campuses or cities. In addition, efforts to collect real traces of people movement have been made and traces have been made available and used in simulators. Despite these efforts, the problem of understanding and modeling mobility, and, more specifically, human mobility remains of great interest for the mobile ad hoc networks community, as many questions are still unanswered and evaluation methodologies still unsatisfactory. New insights and more refined and realistic models are still needed, bringing together real world measurements and mathematical characterization of node mobility. These problems are of interest to anyone working on mobile networking, as these models are often at the basis of the performance evaluation, comparison, and validation of new approaches and solutions. We solicit the papers on mobility models for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on mobility characterizations based on real traces are also welcomed. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working or interested in mobility modeling and characterizations. We wish to build a lively forum to propose and discuss recent advances in mobility modeling both from theoretical and practical point of views. The workshop will be opened to contributions from researchers tackling the research problems in this area from different perspectives, with the aim of discussing the many open issues in movement modeling trying to identify novel solutions to be investigated also by means of collaborations among the participants of the workshop. We will welcome especially highly innovative and/or controversial contributions, debunking existing results or confirming existing models by means of new experimental results. Papers providing key mathematical insights on open mobility modeling issues will also be highly appreciated. We invite to submit papers in the following areas: * Design, implementation and evaluation of synthetic and trace-based mobility models * Validation of synthetic models using real world traces * Mathematical characterization of human mobility * Analysis and characterization of dynamic network topologies * Mobility and connectivity modeling * Influence of mobility on radio characterization * Complex networks models for mobility modeling * Human mobility and social networks * Impact of mobility modeling on algorithms, protocols and systems performance * Network measurements and mobility characterization * Simulation tools and testbed for mobility simulation * Systems testing based on real world mobility traces * Mobility traces collection and data archive, including privacy issues * Mobility characterizations of real traces *Submission Format* Paper submissions is limited to 8 pages (10pt ACM format). Submission instructions will be available soon on the workshop Website (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/mobilitymodels08/). The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. *Important dates* Submission deadline: 18 February 2008 Notification to the authors: 18 March 2008 Camera ready version deadline: 28 March 2008 Workshop date: 26 or 30 May 2008 *Organization* Workshop Program Chairs Minkyong Kim (IBM Watson, USA) Cecilia Mascolo (University of Cambridge, UK) Mirco Musolesi (Dartmouth College, USA) Workshop Program Committee Marcelo Dias de Amorim (LIP6/University Pierre et Marie Curie, France) Elizabeth M.

03 Jan '08

Submission deadline extended to Januray 19th! ##################### ATC-08 Call For Papers ###################### The 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing - Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality - http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/ Organized by University of Stavanger and Oslo University College, Norway Technical Sponsorship by the IEEE Task Force on Intelligent Ubiquitous Computing Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008 ################################################################### Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing dramatically in both scale and heterogeneity, becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled emergence. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-08 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-08 is a successor of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria), the 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, China), and the 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07, Hong Kong). Topics include but are not limited to the following: - AC/OC Theory and Models Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition, self-organization, emergence, etc. - AC/OC Architectures and Systems Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc. - AC/OC Components and Modules Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc. - AC/OC Communication and Services Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. - AC/OC Tools and Interfaces Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. - Trust Models and Specifications Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. - Trust-related Security and Privacy Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. - Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. - Trustworthy Services and Applications Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secured mobile services, novel applications, etc. - Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. == IMPORTANT DATES == Submission Deadline: January 19, 2008 (extended!)

[Tccc] CFP: PRESTO'08 - ACM SIGCOMM workshop
by Kobus van der Merwe 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Apologies for cross-postings. =================================================== Call for Papers PRESTO'08: Workshop on Programmable Routers for Extensible Services of TOmorrow August 22, 2008 Co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2008 in Seattle, WA, USA. http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2008/workshops/presto/ Recently, there has been renewed interest in the networking research community in re-architecting the distribution of functions in an IP network. These efforts can be described as a dis-aggregation of router functionality into various components and well-defined interfaces, to enable deployment of richer services and easier management of the network. In addition, researchers and practitioners in industry have been exploring the notion of open routers, which allows new functionality to be easily added into routers, as well as exploring router virtualization as a way to support a diverse set of applications and users. These efforts span the range from building open-source routing software, to making routers third-party-developer friendly by exposing router APIs, as recent industry announcements indicate. Programmable network elements hold the promise of accelerating innovation and service deployment. At the same time programmability could exacerbate already challenging network management tasks. This workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between researchers and industry practitioners with a goal of driving service innovation in IP networks using novel extensible router architectures. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures for open/programmable network elements, including transport, wireless and packet forwarding devices. - Abstractions for open/programmable network elements. (Programmability versus extendible configuration. Is programmability really needed? How close to the 'metal' should programmability be? E.g., do-it-yourself versus open APIs. ) - Efficient and flexible data plane programmability. (E.g., firmware versus multi-core platforms.) - Cross-layer aware programmability. - Network element virtualization. - Network composition, configuration and provisioning in virtualized environments. - Architectures, services and/or service features enabled by programmability. - The impact of programmability on network management and operations. The workshop solicits original papers on completed work, position papers, and/or work-in-progress papers on the challenges raised above. Papers that bring out new and interesting approaches at an early stage of their development are very welcome. Instructions for Authors Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length, must be a PDF file and must follow the SIGCOMM Workshop formatting guidelines. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Paper submission details TBD. Important Dates Abstract Submission: February 29, 2008 Paper Submission: March 7, 2008 Acceptance Notification: April 17, 2008 Camera Ready Due: May 9, 2008 Workshop: August 22, 2008 Program Committee PC Chairs T.V.
