-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [acf-members] Mission-critical Networking - CfP Datum: Fri, 5 Oct 2007 12:42:49 +0200 (MEST) Von: Mikhail Smirnov <Mikhail.Smirnov(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> Antwort an: acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org, Mikhail Smirnov <Mikhail.Smirnov(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> An: acf-members <acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org> 2nd IEEE Workshop on Mission-Critical Networking (MCN’2008) www.criticalnet.org In conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM’2008 Phoenix, Arizona, April 8-12 “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 • Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA • Henning Schulzerinne, Columbia University, USA Program Chairs • Hannes Tschofenig, Siemens AG, Germany • Moustafa Youssef, Alexandria University, Egypt Publicity Chair • Mohamed Younis, University of Maryland Baltimore County, USA Panels Chair • Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA Awards Chair • Ashok Agrawala, University of Maryland, USA • Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas, USA Technical Program Committee • Ehab Al-Shaer, DePaul University, USA • Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany • Hossam Hassanein, Queens University, Canada • Wendi Heinzelman, University of Rochester, USA. • James Joshi, University of Pittsburgh, USA. • Deepa Kundur, Texas A&M University, USA • Victor Leung, University of British Columbia, Canada • Scott Midkiff, Virginia Tech, USA. • Nader Moayeri, NIST, USA • Farid Nait-Abdesselam, University of Sciences and Tech. of Lille, France • Cristina Pinotti, University of Perguia, Italy • Jean-Jacque Quisquater, Catholic University, Belgium • Pedro M.

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications and environments supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2008 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Paper submissions are due on Oct 16, 2007 at 23:59:59 EDT. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format. Papers should be single column using 11pt font. The conference proceedings will be published by the ACM. Preliminary proceedings will be made available to workshop participants online ahead of the workshop. Printed proceedings will be published and mailed to participants after the workshop. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Poster and demo submissions are due on January 14th, 2008 at 23:59:59 EST. Submissions must include an extended abstract limited to one 8.5x11-inch page in 12pt font.
