-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Int. Workshop on Multilateral/Multiuser Privacy in Pervasive Systems Datum: Mon, 2 Apr 2007 10:26:41 +0200 Von: Peter Langendoerfer <langendoerfer(a)ihp-microelectronics.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> 1st Int. Workshop on Multilateral/Multiuser Privacy in Pervasive Systems (http://www.ihp-microelectronics.com/~langend/MPPS/) collocated with The Fourth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) Pisa, 8 - 11 October 2007 (http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007/) The advent of pervasive systems is going to render the precondition made by privacy enhancing technologies researched so far inappropriate. More precisely, in pervasive systems users are no longer interacting with one or just a few entities. Further, sensing devices will be capable to retrieve some data without users consent. In addition, different users may require different settings from a pervasive system at the same time and at the same place, so interference of users has to be solved somehow. Privacy is a hot research topic for several years, but research that addresses privacy in pervasive systems is still in its infancy. The goal of this workshop is to provide a platform for presenting and discussing novel ideas to preserve privacy in pervasive systems. We especially want to foster discussion between scientist form industry and academia working in different fields such as middleware platforms and low power security solutions. Relevant TOPICS include, but are not limited to: - Privacy related management of pervasive systems. - Security means as key enablers for privacy for computing devices with weak resources. - Information flow analysis. - Privacy aware applications. - Privacy preserving middleware approaches. - Balancing privacy requirements between users and users and service providers. - RFIDs and privacy. Paper Submissions: The workshop seeks original research contributions of high quality. In addition to regular papers position papers that discuss hot topics or future research directions, and work in progress papers presenting interesting preliminary results are accepted. Full papers should not exceed 6 pages, and work in progress and position papers should be limited to a maximum of 4 pages. All papers shall be formatted in standard IEEE style, 10pt, two-column pages (style files are available at http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/index.jsp). All accepted workshop papers will appear in the MASS 2007 Proceedings published by IEEE. Please refer to the conference web site for details on formatting and to the workshop site for submission instructions.

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.

-------- 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue on "Management of IP Networks and Services" -- IJIPT Journal (Reminder) Datum: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 09:32:08 +0200 Von: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)dif.um.es> Organisation: University of Murcia (UMU) An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INTERNET PROTOCOL TECHNOLOGY (IJIPT) Special Issue on "Management of IP Networks and Services" 1. Objectives Network and service management today faces numerous challenges, ones that older ways of doing things cannot solve. Several proposals and paradigms have been proposed in the last few years to offer possible solutions to these issues. In most cases they are providing a system-wide view of the network and its services, thus trying to shift the emphasis of management and monitoring away from specific devices and interfaces towards users and applications. This Special Issue will provide the reader with the last relevant results in this field, thus providing a common base for researchers and practitioners that need to understand the current status and trends of management of IP networks and services. 2. Subject coverage In this special issue original research articles providing results of practical use for IP network and service managers will be published. Contributions are solicited on (but not restricted to) the following subject categories: • New Abstractions for Management and Monitoring. • Self-Management and Self-Configuration of Networks and Services. • Techniques for Evaluating Network Management Architectures and Frameworks. • Information Models Applied to Management and Monitoring. • Management Platforms, Interoperability, Standards and Protocols. • Management of Networks and Services: VPNs, Optical Networks, CATV Networks, Mobile and Ad-Hoc Networks, Voice over IP, Transaction Oriented Services, Electronic Commerce, Active and Programmable Networks, Sensor Networks. • Management of Grid Computing, Clusters, Peer-to-Peer Applications, and Ubiquitous Computing Environments. • Intrusion Detection and Network Management. • Management Aspects of Service Pricing, Accounting and Billing. • Management of Service Level Agreements and Quality of Service. • Business and Service Management. • Data Warehousing and Data Mining in Management. • Data Management in Grid Scenarios. • Programmable, Mobile and Intelligent Agents in Management. • Peer-to-Peer Network Technologies for Management. • Management Technologies and Frameworks (Web, XML, CORBA, DEN, etc). • Network and Systems Monitoring. • Fault and Performance Management. • Traffic and Performance Management. • Security Management. • Open-Source Management Software. • Case Studies and Experiences in Management. 3. Important dates Manuscript Submission: April 16, 2007 (Extended) Author Notification: May 31, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: June 30, 2007 Publication: Spring 2008 4. Instructions for submission Papers should be in English and contain original contributions on the topics of this special issue. Only original papers that have not been published or that are not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Papers should be sent by email to both guest editors by April 16, 2007 (extended). Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability of the manuscript. Papers that either lack clarity in presentation, or are not according to the IJIPT author guidelines (available on-line at: http://www.inderscience.com/mapper.php?id=31) or are outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review. 5.
