CALL FOR PAPERS PFLDNET2008 Sixth International Workshop on Protocols for FAST Long-Distance Networks 5-7 March 2008 The Schuster Building, The University of Manchester, UK http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/PFLDnet2008/cfp.php Important Dates Initial Abstract submission: Monday 10 December, 2007 Notification of acceptance: Monday 14 January, 2008 Early (discounted) Registration: Monday 4 February, 2008 Final paper submission: Friday 22 February, 2008 Workshop: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 5 to 7 March, 2008 ------------------------------------------- With the emergence of hybrid network facilities, future networks will increasingly contain high bandwidth, high delay paths. Protocols for fast, long distance networks will have to expand from experimental testbeds and into the wider world. In that process, it is increasingly important for protocols which achieve high utilization on fast, long distance networks also to have the qualities required for widespread use, such as fairness and scalability to many users. The goal of the International Protocols for Fast Long-Distance Networks workshop series is to bring together researchers and practitioners from all continents in this area to exchange ideas and experience. This single-track workshop will provide researchers and technologists with a focused, highly interactive opportunity to present, discuss and exchange experience on leading research, development and future directions in high performance transport and application protocols over fast long-distance networks. In order to facilitate discussions, attendance will be limited to 60 participants. Please register early to ensure your participation. Depending on the number of people who register, we may need to restrict the number of people from a given organization to allow for a broader representation of the research community. Registration will open on 8 October 2008. PFLDnet2008 solicits papers which will further research on protocols for tomorrow's high speed Internet, at all stages along the continuum from the requirements of today's Grid networks, through optical transports, throughbenchmarking of proposals, to the selection of the next generation of TCP and other transport protocols. Participants wishing to present a paper should upload a four-page extended abstact to the submission site by Monday 10 December 2007. Final papers should be typically 4-5 pages, but no longer than 6 pages. Scope: (choose at least one of the subject areas below - multiple selections are possible) Protocol issues in fast long-distance networks: Protocol development Enhancements of TCP and its variants Novel data transport protocols designed for new Networks and Application Services Explicit signaling protocols: Optimization criteria and deployment strategies Pacing and shaping of TCP and UDP traffic Parallel transfers and multistreaming Performance evaluation Modeling and simulation-based results Experiments on real networks and actual measurements Protocol benchmarking Hardware-specific issues Transport over optical networks Protocol implementation and hardware issues (PCs, NICs, TOEs, routers, switches, etc.) End system performance Data replications and striping RDMA over WANs Application focus Requirements and experience from applications with demanding network performance requirements Bulk-data transfer applications both TCP and non-TCP based Transport service for Grids QoS and scalability issues Multicast over fast long-distance networks Fiber To The Home (FTTH) Authors whose papers are selected for presentation will have the option to submit a revised paper, to be published on the PFLDnet 2008 web site and in the PFLDnet 2008 proceedings. We propose to collect the best papers from PFLDnet 2008 and make a joint publication with those from PFLDnet 2007 in a special edition of a journal, if the authors are interested.

[Tccc] CFP IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on DependabilityIssues with Ubiquitous Wireless Access
by Albert Banchs 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Dependability Issues with Ubiquitous Wireless Access ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://www.comsoc.org/dl/pcm/cfpwireless808.htm +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Manuscript Due: 1 December 2007 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of the number of wireless technologies available to access the Internet. While the emergence of these new technologies can enable truly ubiquitous Internet access, it also raises issues with the dependability of the Internet service delivered to users. Indeed, wireless Internet access is, when compared to traditional wired access solutions, more prone to security attacks and less predictable in terms of the Quality of Service (QoS) experienced by users. This poses serious challenges to the provisioning, in this context, of a dependable Internet service that meets the users’ requirements in terms of security, QoS, reliability and availability, among others. In order to meet the above requirements on dependability, new solutions such as security and QoS mechanisms need to be designed for the wireless access. Several issues need to be addressed in the design of such dependable wireless solutions, including the following: (1) the open nature of radio communications provides serious exposure to security attacks; (2) the limited capacity and shared nature of the wireless medium complicates the provisioning of Quality of Service; (3) inherently unpredictable wireless channel characteristics make it hard to guarantee availability; (4) exploitation of resources due to selfish and malicious behavior is difficult to prevent; (5) the emergence of new paradigms, such as opportunistic spectrum usage and self-organizing networks, promise improvements but introduce new challenges to dependability. This special issue will focus on recent research results on dependability issues with ubiquitous wireless access in the context of wireless technologies including WLAN, cellular and broadcast systems, ad-hoc and mesh networks, among others. Topics of interest include, although are not limited to, the following: * Predictable shared medium access mechanisms * Techniques for identifying and controlling selfish users * Security mechanisms and protocols for the wireless access * Wireless Quality of Service provisioning * Countering Denial-of-service attacks in wireless networks * Metrics for measuring dependability * Privacy-aware dependable operation for wireless networks * Dependable opportunistic spectrum techniques * Dependability in self-organizing networks * Reliable and ubiquitous emergency services * Dependable services for mobile users Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to Albert Banchs (banchs(a)it.uc3m.es) no later than 1 December 2007. Manuscript Due: 1 December 2007 Acceptance Notification: 15 March 2008 Final Revised Manuscript Due: 15 May 2008 Publication: August 2008 Guest Editors: Prof. Albert Banchs, Univ. Carlos III Prof. Virgil Gligor, University of Maryland Prof. Daji Qiao, Iowa State University Dr. Dirk Westhoff, NEC Europe Ltd. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
