IMS is also driving the notion of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) by merging the fixed and mobile telecommunication networks with the Internet and the adoption of IP technologies within the telecom domain. Although we can witness the availability of international standards for NGN/IMS signaling, management solutions of this converging technology domain are not yet standardized Thus the global introduction of IMS platforms in fixed and mobile networks and provision of related IMS applications is challenged today by the questions around management issues. In this special issue we would like to identify the challenges in IMS system and service management and to provide a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in IMS management standards and related solutions development and deployment around the world. We are soliciting papers covering a variety of topics that include: * State of the art in NGN / IMS management standardisation * Experiences / Best practices in IMS management from IMS trials and early deployments * Fault and Performance Management of IMS Core Systems / IMS Network Element Management * IMS services management * Management of IMS service enablers / service orchestration management * Managing 3rd party applications and application servers in IMS * Dynamic service provisioning in IMS * IMS End System Software Management / Device Management * Multidomain management aspects for interconnected IMS Systems * End-to End Policy-based QoS Management in NGNs * Security management issues in IMS * Charging and accounting management issues in IMS * Push 2 Talk management issues * FMC - Management in converging networks and of seamless services * Management of IMS Subscriber Data / User Profiles * Customer self management in IMS * ID Management in IMS / Single sign on Papers should be of tutorial nature and contain state-of-the-art research and development materials.

[Fwd: [OC-ML] Call for papers: Special issue on OC, ACM TAAS]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [OC-ML] Call for papers: Special issue on OC, ACM TAAS Datum: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 09:56:20 +0200 (CEST) Von: Fabian Rochner <rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de> An: rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de Dear subscribers of the Organic Computing Mailinglist, below you can find the call for papers for the special issue on Organic Computing in the ACM transactions on autonomous and adaptive systems (TAAS). The submission deadline is approximately a month away. Please feel free to forward this cfp to any other colleagues, mailing lists, or intelligent agents you think might be interested. For more details, you may also visit the website: http://www.acm.org/pubs/taas/ Regards Fabian Rochner P.S.: Deadline for submissions to the special session on OC at CEC 2007, Singapore, is tomorrow, Saturday, March 31. Details: www.organic-computing.de/cec07 =================================================== ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems Special Issue on Organic Computing =================================================== SCOPE ----- Organic Computing (OC) has emerged recently as a challenging vision for future information processing systems, based on the insight that we will soon be surrounded by systems with massive numbers of processing elements, sensors and actuators. Because of the size of these systems it is infeasible for us to monitor and control them entirely from external observations; instead they will need to help us monitor, control and adapt themselves. To do so, these components will need to be aware of their environment, to communicate freely, and to organize themselves in order to perform the actions and services that are required. The presence of such networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens up fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct these systems as robust, safe, and trustworthy as possible. In order to achieve all these goals, our computing systems will have to act more independently, flexibly, and autonomously. Thus, we are interested in new analytic methods and architectures underlying complex systems. In OC, we put an emphasis on systems that exhibit "life-like" properties, such as being self-organizing, self-configuring, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware. The vision of OC and its fundamental concepts arose independently in different research areas like Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Computer Science & Engineering. In this special issue, we welcome contributions from all these areas to OC. We seek theoretical as well as carefully evaluated practical papers dealing with complex computing systems that * adapt dynamically to the current conditions of their environments, * exhibit "self-x" properties as described above, and * are partly inspired by biological information processing principles. For more information on OC see: * OC Page: http://www.organic-computing.org * DFG research program OC: http://www.organic-computing.de/SPP * IEEE OC Task Force: http://www.neuroinformatik.rub.de/thbio/project/oc ACM TAAS -------- ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) is a venue for high quality research contributions addressing foundational, engineering, and technological aspects of complex computing systems exhibiting autonomous and adaptive behavior. TAAS encourages contributions advancing the state of the art in the understanding, development, and control of such systems. For more information, please follow the link: http://www.acm.org/pubs/taas REVIEW & SUBMISSION PROCESS --------------------------- Manuscripts will first be screened for topical relevance, and those that pass the screening process will undergo a full review procedure according to the standards of TAAS. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a preliminary single page abstract by February 16, 2007. This will help in planning an efficient review process and providing initial feedback to the prospective authors. The manuscripts should be formatted according to the ACM TAAS guidelines available from the journal homepage and submitted to: mailto:octf@neuroinformatik.rub.de GUEST EDITORIAL TEAM -------------------- * Kirstie L.

In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas (for example, a multi-disciplinary program on sensors and sensor networks was launched in 2003 at the US National Science Foundation) and research activities are booming recently. This workshop concentrates on network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting * Geocasting and anycasting * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Sensor area coverage problems * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: April 30, 2007 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2007 Workshop Date: October 12, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

Self-organization will enhance flexibility and evolvability of organically growing, large-scale distributed systems. Driven by randomness and feedback, the relation between cause and effect of these systems may appear chaotic: minor causes may have severe impact, whereas seemingly major causes may only have a small effect. Traditional mathematical models tend to be linear and, thus, are not suitable to model such chaotic systems. Models to be developed should be simple to remain scalable to the huge number of entities in the systems under investigation and to be generally applicable. Following PMSOS 2006, we again aim to investigate the methodology for modeling and evaluating the performance and reliability of complex self-organizing systems at the edge of chaos. To this end, this meeting once more brings together leading national and international experts and creates a forum for knowledge exchange. IMPORTANT DATES * Ext. abstracts / paper submission deadline: May 21st 2007 * Notification of acceptance: June 11th 2007 * Camera ready papers due: June 25th 2007 * Registration due: June 29th 2007 * Meeting date: July 13th 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION The submitted extended abstracts, short papers, and full papers will be reviewed and published in form of a Technical Report.

Schmitt, Technische Universitaet Kaiserslautern, Germany Matthias Hollick, Technische Universitaet Darmstadt, Germany SUBMISSIONS & CONTACT patrick.wuechner(a)uni-passau.de -(2)------------------------- Call for Papers ---------------------------- PIK Special Issue: "Modeling of Self-Organizing Systems" ("Selbst-Organisierende Systeme und deren Modellierung") Scheduled date of publication: March 2008 (PIK Vol.31 No.1) OVERVIEW Self-organization is foreseen to play a major role in future communication systems. Obviously, this shift in paradigm leads to a variety of open research challenges. Solutions to these challenges are pivotal in either leveraging the possible advantages of self-organizing systems, but could also turn out to be a heavy burden for both operators and users. The goal is clear: after purposefully introducing (artificial) means of self- organization, the beneficial features - often identified as the so- called self-* properties - should clearly outnumber the critical ones, like un-controllability, undesired instability and criticality, or unpredictability. Thus, it is essential for the community to learn how to design, engineer, optimize, and control complex, almost chaotic systems in a structured, purposeful way. One tool that provides means for this demand is the concept of mathematical modeling. This PIK special issue aims at giving a survey on the topic of self-organization and mathematical modeling techniques that are capable of modeling self-organizing behavior. PROPOSED TOPICS * Essential properties of self-organizing systems * Modeling of self-* properties, such as self-organization, self-management, self-adaptation/-configuration, self-monitoring/-diagnosis, self-tuning/-optimization, self- protection, and self-repair/-healing * Metrics for evaluating self-* properties * Formal and mathematical models of self-organizing and complex systems * Observing self-organized criticality with the help of formal/mathematical models * Tools, test beds, and simulations capable of evaluating self- organizing systems * Performance, QoS, dependability, reliability, and availability modeling of self-organizing systems * Mathematical optimization of self-organizing systems * Security and fault-tolerance models for self-organizing systems * Modeling of emergent behavior * Design and construction of self-organizing systems * Control theory for self-organizing systems Modeling the (un-)controllability of self-organizing or emergent systems * Abstracting from self-organization and complexity * Scalability of complex model evaluation IMPORTANT DATES * Paper submission: August 19th, 2007 * Notification of acceptance: October 21st, 2007 * Camera ready papers due: November 11th, 2007 AUTHOR INFORMATION Submissions of both technical papers and project reports in English or German are welcome.
