-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] CfP - ITU-T ' Innovations in NGN' Datum: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 09:37:55 +0200 Von: Kai Jakobs <kai.jakobs(a)i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> Organisation: Aachen University An: <elg(a)kuvs.de> **Bitte entschuldigen Sie, wenn Sie diese Nachricht mehrfach bekommen*** Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, dieser CfP koennte fuer Sie von Interesse sein. Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist - in alter ITU-Tradition - kostenlos. Der Tagungsband wird - aller Voraussicht nach - bei IEEE erscheinen. Fuer weitere Informationen stehe ich gerne zur Verfuegung. Viele Gruesse aus AC Kai Jakobs. INNOVATIONS IN NGN - FUTURE NETWORK AND SERVICES AN ITU-T KALEIDOSCOPE EVENT First Call for Papers <http://itu.int/ITU-T/uni/kaleidoscope> Innovations in Next Generation Networks is the first in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences that aims at increasing the dialogue between academia and experts working on the standardization of information and communications technologies (ICT). By viewing technologies through a Kaleidoscope, these forward looking conferences will also seek to identify new topics for standardization. Arguably no industry undergoes faster changes than the ICT industry. So looking five, ten or more years into the future - What will the network look like? Which services will be offered? How will it affect people's lives? NGN represents one of the most complex transitions ever to have occurred in telecoms. Taking into account new realities in the ICT industry such as the need to converge and optimise operating networks and the extraordinary expansion of digital traffic, NGN will enable a richer set of applications to the end user, as well as allowing operators to benefit from a far simpler architecture and the economies of scale associated with standards. In addition, in NGN, new services can be added far more quickly and easily, without the need to add any new network infrastructure. Objectives Innovations in NGN will bring together new and visionary ideas on the future of NGN. It will highlight technologies, services and applications five years and beyond that will capitalize on the NGN infrastructure and will lead us to the so-called ubiquitous network society in which information can be accessed anywhere, at anytime, by anyone and anything. The event will also cover multidisciplinary aspects related to the deployment of NGN, including analysis of the regulatory and societal challenges that such deployment will bring. Innovations in NGN is to inspire contributions towards a kaleidoscopic view of communication habits for the future. We know what NGN is in terms of the underlying technology, but we don't know what services will emerge, how NGN will affect the marketplace for ICT, and how society will be affected. To this end ITU is issuing this call for papers, a number of topics of interest are suggested below. Audience Innovations in NGN is targeted at all researchers, academics, students, engineers, regulators and thinkers who go "beyond the next quarter". No participation fee will be charged. Date and venue 12-13 May 2008, Geneva, Switzerland. Submission of papers Prospective authors are invited to submit complete, original papers with up to 6000 words including summary and references using the template at the conference website. (The camera-ready version will be limited to a maximum of eight pages). Main themes are suggested below. All papers will be handled electronically and reviewed through a double-blind, peer-review process. Please note that the submission dates for papers are strict deadlines. Full details of the submission procedure will be available from the conference website. Deadlines Submission of complete papers: 15 October 2007 Notification of paper acceptance: 15 January 2008 Submission of camera-ready paper: 29 February 2008 Registration for the event: 18 April 2008 Awards Awards will be granted to selected best papers, as judged by the organizing and programme committee.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CHANTS 2007: Call for Posters Datum: Mon, 16 Jul 2007 19:51:12 +0300 Von: Jörg Ott <jo(a)NETLAB.TKK.FI> Antwort an: Jörg Ott <jo(a)NETLAB.TKK.FI> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG CALL FOR POSTERS Second Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS) 2007 ==================================================== Co-located with Mobicom 2007, 14 September 2007, Montreal, QC, Canada http://chants-2007.netlab.tkk.fi/ Challenged networks are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes and widely varying network conditions. Nodes in today's challenged networks often include mobile nodes, space-based nodes, sensor/actuator nodes and other devices. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries can also be regarded as challenged networks as can be ad-hoc communication between personal devices. The Internet protocol architecture suffers some problems when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. In addition to the workshop program consisting presentations and demonstrations, we seek poster presentations discussing recent (possibly early) research results. Poster presentations with accompanying demonstrations are encouraged. Such demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. Demo proposals should include one additional page describing the precise setup and requirements. Poster and poster abstracts will be published on the CHANTS 2007 web page. Submission Format ----------------- Poster abstracts must be at most 2 pages in size with a font size not smaller than 10pt. Please email the PDF version of your abstract to both co-chairs using the subject "CHANTS poster submission": jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi krash(a)bbn.com Important Dates --------------- Poster abstract submission: 2 August 2007 (23:59 GMT) Notification of acceptance: 12 August 2007 Final abstract due: 1 September 2007 ----------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

Pervasive Management for Ubiquitous Networks and Services 7-11 April 2008 Salvador - Bahia - Brazil http://www.ieee-noms.org/2008 Important Dates August 24, 2007 Abstract Registration September 1, 2007 Deadline for Technical Session Papers September 1, 2007 Deadline for Workshop Proposals The 11th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2008) will be held on 7-11 April 2008 in the exiting and lively city of Salvador - Bahia - Brazil. Held in even-numbered years, NOMS 2008 will follow the 20 years tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary forum for technical exchange of the research, standards, development, systems integration, service provider, and user communities. NOMS 2008 will present innovative approaches and technical solutions for integrated systems and services including communication networks, host systems, enterprise applications, service oriented architectures, and delivery of management services. The conference provides a highly selective peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, application sessions, and software tools sessions. In addition, the conference offers tutorials, posters, and panels as well as vendor exhibits covering many aspects of management. Management gets pervasive and needs to vanish since the networks and systems are vanishing from the users' perception. Users should stay users, not managers of their information and communication platforms and services. Pervasive systems and services require considerations for multi-service and multi-domain environments of heterogeneous technologies, wide range of service offerings, new management strategies, and business models. Pervasive management encompasses provisioning, operation, and maintenance for up-scaled systems and still not bother users and administrator enabling automated management. This broad scope and the distributed nature also call for new approaches to dependability, resilience, quality-of-service, mobility management, and services billing. In particular, these considerations include the combination of wireless and wired (FMC), high and low throughput systems, and small as well as large scale deployments. NOMS 2008 will offer five types of sessions: technical, application, poster, panel, and software tools. Technical sessions will present very high-quality papers on the latest research results in the network operations and management area. Application sessions will present papers focusing on the experience of IT and telecommunications industries, such as service providers, OSS vendors, and equipment manufacturers. The scope here includes customer requirements, management system implementations, and business practices. Poster sessions will provide an insight into work-in-progress. Panel sessions will focus on business implications, market trends, and emerging applications with panelists that are technology and business leaders. The software tools sessions are targeted for the presentation of software tools including open source management software and demonstrations of research prototypes. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library and the conference proceedings. Authors are invited to submit complete, unpublished papers that are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, or related topic areas: Management Paradigms and Architectures * Self-managing networks (self-healing, self-optimizing,self-protecting and self-configuring) * Self-adaptive applications * Autonomic management of networks, systems, and services * Self-repairing distributed systems * Integrated control and management * Distributed, decentralized, and scalable management * P2P approaches for scalable network management * Policy and role based management * Programmable, active, and adaptive management * Resilience, dependability, and survivability * "Plug-n-Play" component-based management * Customer controlled and managed networks * Proactive and reactive management * Biologically inspired management systems and techniques Theories and Models * AI techniques for management: knowledge-based, intelligent agents, machine learning, neural networks * Theory (control, optimization, economic) for management * Evaluation and benchmarking of management systems and technologies * Information models and Internet technologies (Web, XML, DEN, CIM,SID) Management Standards and Enabling Technologies * Integration and middleware technologies for management * Service-oriented architectures and management * Data warehousing, ontology, mining and statistical methods in management * Next generation operation support systems * User interfaces and virtual reality in management * Inter-domain Management Management and Virtual Environments * Managing virtual resources and services (VPNs, VLANs) * Virtualization of operations centers, help desks * Information modeling in virtual environments Service Engineering and Operational Challenges * Service design and quality assurance * Resource inventory, planning, and allocation * Service discovery and service negotiation * SLA and business process management * Quality-of-Service (QoS) management * Service portability/mobility (VHE) * Transaction-oriented services and supply chain management * "Soft" networks (Soft-switch, Parlay, 3GPP OSA, JAIN) and service switching * Dynamic service requirements analysis * Charging and accounting of integrated systems and services * Self-adaptive e-business services * Self-organized service deployment Operation and Management Functions * Security management, federated identity management * Mobility management * End-to-end measurements * Network, service, and systems monitoring * Alarm and event correlation and filtering * Customer care and workforce management * Process engineering for operators' service and network management * Performance and fault management * Configuration and accounting management * Integration and testing of commercial off-the-shelf products * Management of content hosting and delivery * Path Protection and restoration * Internet service pricing, bandwidth trading * Decision making in self-* systems Management of Emerging Networks and Services * Converged networks and services * Peer-to-peer and community networks * Grids, grid services, and grid applications * Ad hoc and self-configurable networks * Multi-sensor and self-organizing networks * Overlay networks, virtual topologies and VPN services * Wireless broadband networks (2G, 2.5G, 3G, and beyond) * High speed access, Wireless Local (WLANs) and Personal Area Networks (PANs) * Optical networks (metropolitan, all optical, WDM, DWDM, optical IP) * Video and broadband cable networks * VoIP/NGN infrastructures and services * IP TV, Video on Demand * FTTX networks, services, and protocols * Storage Area Networks (SAN) and ASPs server farms * Web services and content delivery networks * Smart homes and networked haptics * Satellite and interplanetary networks * e-World (e-health, e-commerce, e-business, and e-government) Organizational Aspects of IT Service Management * Process engineering and process frameworks (ITIL, eTOM) * Quality management for IT service provisioning * Workflow management for IT service provisioning * Risk management and IT governance issues * Business alignment of IT service management Submission Instructions Please use the appropriate link to submit your technical or application session papers, because submissions will be handled differently.

WSNs are characterized by the need to carefully integrate functions traditionally considered to be separate, in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, interaction of research from different backgrounds is required: expertise on hardware, middleware, communication protocols and application design, is needed. WSNs are evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, also because actuators in the network have to be supported. Moreover, WSNs, traditionally designed as stand-alone networks, are now considered as part of larger heterogeneous systems having Wireless Wide or Local Area Networks as means to link the environment to applications and data repositories hosted by computers connected to the Internet. This conference intends to create a forum where researchers with different experience and background can discuss cross-layer approaches, novel solutions for specific problems and envisage the future development of WSN functionality. Works describing original, previously unpublished research results, are sought. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSNs * Physical Layer Techniques for WSNs * Communication Protocols * Operating Systems and Programming Abstractions * Middleware and Service Infrastructures * Information Processing * Security * Vertical Functionality * Novel Applications * Prototypes, Field Studies, and Testbeds Either proposals of full papers, posters or demos can be submitted.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [CFP] BIONETICS 2007 Datum: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 09:21:03 +0200 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-ERLANGEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] The submission deadline is one month away. ***************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS BIONETICS 2007 2nd International Conference on Bio inspired Models of Network, Information and Computing Systems http://www.bionetics.org/ Budapest, Hungary, December 10-12, 2007 Technically co-sponsored by IEEE COMSOC, IEEE CIS, and IEEE SMC In co-operation with ACM SIGCAS Jointly sponsored by CREATE-NET, ICST *** Submission deadline: August 5, 2007 *** ***************************************************************** Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet down to micro and nano devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. A fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems that are capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical systems, which have similar high stability and efficiency often found in biological entities. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers focusing on (but not limited to) the following topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools: - Mathematical models of biological processes - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Cellular signaling pathways b) Bio-inspired technical systems: - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies c) Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT): - Network algorithms and protocols - Autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols - Adaptive and self-healing network architectures - Self-organizing network paradigms - In-network processing and autonomic networking - Adaptive sensor and actor networks - Topology control and network organization - Localization and synchronization - Mobility models - Multi-agent systems and robotics - Novel applications and services - Self-learning defense strategies - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms - Network and information security - Experimental studies - Nano-scale and molecular communication Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages, or short papers of up to 3 pages, in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it). The proceedings will be an ICST publication and the papers will be listed on the ACM DL and indexed by EI -------------------------------------------------- Important dates: Submission deadline: August 5, 2007 Acceptance notification: September 18, 2007 Camera ready paper: October 16, 2007 -------------------------------------------------- Committees: General Chairs: Falko Dressler, Univ. of Erlangen Steering Committee Chair: Imrich Chlamtac, CREATE-NET Steering Committee Co-Chair: Iacopo Carreras, CREATE-NET TPC Chair (advisory): Tatsuya Suda, UC Irvine TPC Co-Chairs: Ozgur Akan, Middle East Tech Univ.
