-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd IEEE Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications Environments (MACE 2007) Datum: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 11:47:40 +0100 Von: Brendan Jennings <bjennings(a)tssg.org> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies for cross postings. ______________________________________________________________________ 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications Environments (MACE 2007) San José, California, USA October 29-30th 2007 Held as part of Manweek 2007 - http://www.manweek.org ______________________________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications Environments (MACE 2007) will be held from October 29-30th 2007 in San José, California, USA. The workshop will be technically sponsored (confirmation pending) by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). As part of Manweek 2007 MACE will be co-located with four other events: the 10th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS 2007); the 7th IEEE Workshop on IP Operations and Management (IPOM 2007); the 18th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management (DSOM 2007); and the 1st IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Virtualization Grid Networking and Management (EVGM 2007). The MACE workshop aims to promote the realisation of Autonomic Communications Environments (ACEs) - service-centric environments exhibiting self-governing behaviour. Within an ACE, services will be created that are self-aware and self-healing. In their deployment, they will be self-adapting, self-optimising and self-configuring; and in operation they will be self-protecting, self-managing and self-composing. These features will enable ACE services to adapt to changing business needs and environmental conditions without manual intervention. Realisation of this vision represents a significant challenge for the networking and computer science research communities, requiring advances in disparate areas ranging, for example, from software modeling to network security, and from machine learning to performance optimisation. MACE 2007 will bring together researchers from academia and industry in a workshop setting in which research challenges can be identified, ideas for potential solutions exchanged, and research results discussed. Topics of interest for paper submission include, but are not limited to: - Advances in Modelling and Meta-Modelling; - Governance Models (incl. Policy-based Management); - Methodologies (incl. Lifecycle, Behaviour, Design by Contract); - Mathematical Models of Autonomic Systems and ACEs; - Biology-inspired Techniques and Algorithms; - Sociology-inspired Techniques and Algorithms; - Model and Language Driven Development (incl. UML and code generation techniques); - Intelligent Service Negotiation, Composition, and Security; - Tool, Simulation and Testbed support for Autonomic Systems and ACEs; - Testing and Validation Processes; - Managing and Handling Context: Sensing, Inferring, and Application; - Autonomic Wireless Access and Seamless Mobility; - Machine Learning, Reasoning, and Inference Techniques; - Algorithms and Processes for Network Robustness and Performance; - Evolving industry standards to facilitate ACEs. PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Submission of late-breaking results and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research is encouraged. Papers that are published, or concurrently submitted to another journal, conference, or book should not be submitted. The Proceedings will be published in the Multicon Lecture Notes series. Papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs, and should not exceed 15 pages in length. Papers must be submitted in PDF format via http://jems.sbc.org.br/mace2007.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] CfP IWSOS 2007 Datum: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:35:15 +0200 Von: Stefan Fischer <fischer(a)itm.uni-luebeck.de> An: ELG KUVS <elg(a)kuvs.de>, "Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 \"Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme\"" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> IWSOS 2007 Call for Papers ========================== New Trends in Network Architectures and Services: 2nd International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2007) The IWSOS 2007 workshop will be held on 11-13 September in the English Lake District, organized by the Computing Department at Lancaster University (http://www.infolab21.lancs.ac.uk). Workshop URL ------------ http://www.iwsos.org/2007 Sponsorship ----------- Sponsorship of IWSOS 2007 is kindly provided by the following partners: ACM - http://www.acm.org - (Pending) CONTENT - (Pending) EuroNGI - http://eurongi.enst.fr/ IEEE - http://www.ieee.org - (Pending) IFIP - http://www.ifip.org Workshop scope -------------- Future networked systems will, to some degree, need to be self-organizing. For example, they will be deployed in remote and hostile environments, where manual setup and configuration may be undesirable or impossible. Some networks, such as mobile ad-hoc networks, will be spontaneously deployed, have a dynamic population, and may be short-lived. The time it takes traditional management activities to converge, where people are in the control loop, is unsuitably long for these kinds of network. Furthermore, the potential scale and complexity of future networked systems, including the future Internet, will make some form of self-organization highly desirable and perhaps a necessity. The complexity of these networked systems will come from the heterogeneity of the devices, communication technologies and protocols, and stringent user requirements (e.g. resilience) that they will need to support. Research into self-organizing networked systems is in its infancy, and there is a multitude of open issues to be addressed. For example, self-organization will need to be implemented in a decentralized way for scalability and resilience reasons; approaches to achieve this will need to be found. The controllability and also the emergent behavior of self-organizing systems will need to be addressed. It is probable that programmable networking technologies will be needed to support the dynamic behavior of self-organizing systems; what shape this programmability will take and how it can be deployed in a safe way will need to be investigated. We should also try to understand how self-organization can play a key architectural role in the future Internet for enhanced flexibility and evolvability amongst its other desirable properties. Building on the success of its predecessor, and now only in its second year, this workshop aims to bring together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization and the means to achieve it. The key topics of the workshop include, but are not restricted to: * Self-organization and self-management * Self-configuration and self-optimization * Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing * Autonomic networking principles and practice * Networks for pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Sensor and ad-hoc networks, e.g. smart dust * Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks * Group-forming networks and techniques * Visualization of network system state * Methods for operator directed configuration and management of large, complex networks * The role of programmable networks for self-organization * Inspiring models of self-organizing in nature and society * Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home networks * Quality of Service / service level agreements and self-organization * Resilience, robustness and fault tolerance for networked systems * Security and self-organization in networked systems * Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet * Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence * Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks * Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering * Self-organization in role-based and multilevel systems * The human in the loop of self-organizing networks * Risks in self-organization, risk management techniques * The (un-)controllability of self-organizing or emergent systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline: April 16th 2007, 17:00 GMT * Notification of acceptance: June 8th 2007 * Camera-ready papers due: June 29th 2007, 17:00 GMT * Author registration deadline: July 27th 2007, 17:00 GMT Initial Submission ------------------ IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Communications Magazine: Call For Papers:IPTV Systems, Standards and Architectures Datum: Mon, 26 Mar 2007 13:13:08 -0500 Von: Wright, Steven <Steven.Wright(a)bellsouth.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> IEEE Communications Magazine: Call For Papers IPTV Systems, Standards and Architectures Broadcast television services are becoming increasingly digitized and interactive, and advances in video compression technology are reducing the bandwidth requirements. The network access bandwidths widely available as consumer services are increasing. The convergence of these trends has fueled increasing interest in delivery of TV services via IP networks, known as IPTV. A number of operators and vendors are currently working on IPTV standardization efforts (e.g. ATIS/IIF, ITU-T FG IPTV) to support wider availability and interoperability of IPTV as a secure, reliable, managed service. While technologies for packet video have been explored for some time, there are a number of remaining issues in the design, development and deployment of commercially viable IPTV services. These include the standardization of architectural elements, content protection and service aspects including portability, scalability, interoperability, performance and accounting. The goal of this special issue is to provide a forum for sharing knowledge and recent advances in IPTV services, the related research, design and deployment challenges and possible approaches for future evolution of the services. We solicit tutorial papers covering various topics of interest that include (but are not limited to) the following: * IPTV Standards Progress (e.g. ATIS-IIF, ITU-T FG IPTV, DVB, TISPAN, OMA BCAST etc.) * Architectures for IPTV Systems including enabling IPTV with NGN Environments * IPTV Deployment Challenges include delivering Interactive TV service * IPTV Performance Considerations * Managing Content for IPTV services * Integrated or Blended IPTV and Communications Services * Test beds and Field Trials, lessons from early deployments of IPTV services * Network Economics - considerations for Scaling IPTV Services * Security consideration for IPTV services * Mobile IPTV services including Mobility considerations Article Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the Communications Society. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

A. Ahmad, Princess Sumya University for Technology Amman, Jordan and Ismail Khalil Ibrahim, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria URL: http://www.iiwas.org/ismail/book2.html Proposals Submission Deadline: May 1, 2007 Proposals Acceptance Notification: May 15, 2007 Full Articles Due: August 1, 2007 Full Articles Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2007 Introduction ============= The great proliferation and enhancements in wireless networking, specifically the development of the wireless Ethernet protocols and the quick deployment and growth of mobile communication protocols and technologies such as 2.5G, 3G, DVBH, and so forth, have enabled a broad spectrum of new applications and systems. The _any time, any where_ principle of communicating data, emergence of network content providers and the growing attractiveness of handheld devices, are among the factors that have formed the field of multimedia communication in wireless and mobile video. Recently, this field has brought up a very sophisticated computing paradigm, which is the multimedia transcoding in mobile and wireless networks.
