-------- 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [OC-ML] Call for papers: 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Datum: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 16:59:19 +0200 (CEST) Von: Fabian Rochner <rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de> An: rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de ##################### 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.atc-conference.org/2008/ http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/ Organized by Oslo University College and University of Stavanger, 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 05, 2008 Authors Notification: March 05, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: April 05, 2008 Workshop under "midnight sun" at Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway June 26-28, 2008 == ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION == Prepare your paper according to the LNCS style maximum 15 pages in PDF file.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFPs: ICDCS'08 Workshop on Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Networks Datum: Mon, 1 Oct 2007 10:04:11 -0500 (CDT) Von: Dr. Hongyi Wu <wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS The 3rd International Workshop on Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Networks (In conjunction with ICDCS 2008), Beijing, China, June 20, 2008. http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~wu/DTMN08/. Mobile communication has experienced an explosive growth since close to quarter of a century. In particular, the mobile ad hoc network technology has attracted significant attention in the last decade or so due its challenging research problems, and span off such new research areas as mesh-based mobile networks and sensor networks. What characterizes nearly all of those mobile technologies is that during the exchange of information between the source and destination terminals, there exists a set of links which constitutes an end-to-end path over which the information is communicated. In some application scenarios, however, the connectivity between the mobile stations is poor due to very sparse network conditions (low node density) or due to unstable connectivity conditions (interference, fading, etc), and thus it is difficult to form a well-connected mesh network for transmitting data through end-to-end connections. In fact, even if there temporarily exists a path in the network for some portion of the communication, it is likely that the terminals will only be intermittently connected due to mobility. As a result, data are delivered in a store-carry and forward paradigm in such networks. Examples include vehicular networks, mobile sensor networks, deep space communications, etc. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to Delay (or Disruption)-Tolerant Mobile Networks (DTMN) and bringing together state-of-the-art contributions in this emerging area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - New Network Architectures and Applications * Mobile sensor networks * Vehicular networks * Heterogeneous mobile networks * Delay-tolerant applications - Protocol Design and Optimization * Delay-tolerant transport protocols * Mobility/disruption-aware routing protocols * Reliability and fault tolerance * Energy, processing power and storage requirement * Mobility modeling and mobility management * Localization and location management * Nodal synchronization * Security, privacy and incentives for co-operation * Resource allocation and QoS support - Performance Analysis and Evaluation - Testbed Implementation and Experimental Results Important Dates: - Paper Submissions: Dec. 15, 2007 - Notification: Feb. 11, 2008 - Final Version: March 9, 2008 - Workshop date: June 20, 2008 Submission Instructions: Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages.

PAPER ONE: "Empirical Prediction of Computer-Network Evolution" Sami J. Habib, Kuwait University, Kuwait This article presents a computer-aided integration tool, iCAD, that can predict a network evolution. We have used the term a network evolution to mean predicting changes within the physical network topology as time evolves. iCAD is connected to four device libraries, each of which contains a distinct set of network-technology devices, such as Ethernet hubs, ATM switches, IP routers, and gateways. As a network technology changes, each device library is updated. Then, we have plotted the cost and performance changes between the old and recent network technologies, enabling us to predict future changes to a first order. This article presents empirical results from 1999 until 2005 recording the network evolution progress, where the lower and upper bounds of network evolution came out to be 10% to 25% and 57% to 74% respectively in terms of network-design cost reduction.

Pañeda, University of Oviedo, Spain David Melendi, University of Oviedo, Spain Roberto García, University of Oviedo, Spain Manuel Vilas, University of Oviedo, Spain Victor García, University of Oviedo, Spain This article presents a methodology for performance analysis and configuration of audio/video-on-demand services. To maintain a good quality of service and to make a profit for the content provider, services must have the optimum configuration. With this aim, the configuration process must be based on an accurate service behavioural analysis which evaluates the quality and the quantity of resources, contents and subscribers. This analysis can be performed using monitored information and predictions of a near future behaviour using laboratory experiments. To formalize both analysis and configuration, a methodology must be developed in order to help service managers attain a good performance and at the same time, make a profit for their companies. All the methodology goals are based on the principle that 'a satisfied client provides more profit'. Moreover, the methodology is prepared to be extensible, and adaptable to new configuration possibilities, data, analyses or goals.

The wireless mesh networks are multihop networks of wireless-router platforms. The wireless routers are typically stationary, but the clients can be mobile. A mesh network can provide multihop communication paths between wireless clients, serving as a community network or as a broadband access network for the Internet. Though no routing protocols exist for wireless mesh networknetworks, the author has tried using AODV, which has been proved effective for wireless mesh networknetworks. Although research is being done in revisiting the MAC and routing protocols for wireless mesh networknetworks, one of the major problems faced in 802.11b mesh networks is channel interference. Based on the above facts, an attempt has been made to study the performance of the 802.11b mesh network under channel interference. The performance differentials are analyzed in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, and MAC delay. The simulations are carried out in Opnet Version 11.5 simulator To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below. http://www.igi-global.com/articles/details.asp?id=7413 PAPER FOUR: "Peer-to-Peer IP Traffic Classification Using Decision Tree and IP Layer Attributes" Bijan Raahemi, University of Ottawa, Canada Ahmad Hayajneh, University of Ottawa, Canada Peter Rabinovitch, Alcatel-Lucent Research and Innovation, Canada The intelligent energy meter designed by us is basically a digital energy meter, which uses single-phase energy metering IC. This metered reading is brought to the database of electricity board through the" echo model", which is identified as a suitable model for the house hold power lines among the existing power line channel models. This is followed by studies on the utilization of different robust spread spectrum techniques like code division multiplexing (CDM), Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)and COFDM (Combined) for data communication over the selected channel model. The results of the study are conducted, particularly in respect of bit error rate (BER)performance and spectral efficiency.
