-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP Workshop Organic Computing bei der GI-Jahrestagung Datum: Mon, 08 May 2006 14:21:49 +0200 Von: Hartmut Schmeck <schmeck(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> An: OC-Interessenten:; CC: Urban Richter <uri(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Hallo Herr Richter, Sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen, anbei erhalten Sie den Call for Papers für den Workshop über Organic Computing bei der diesjährigen GI-Jahrestagung mit der Bitte um Beachtung und Weitergabe an weitere potentiell interessierte Personen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Hartmut Schmeck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call for Papers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Workshop "Organic Computing Status and Outlook" October 5 or 6, 2006, Dresden, Germany part of INFORMATIK 2006 Informatik für Menschen! 36th GI-Jahrestagung, October 2 6, 2006, TU Dresden !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scope: Organic Computing has emerged as a challenging vision for future information processing systems. Organic Computing is based on the insight that we will soon be surrounded by large collections of autonomous systems, which are equipped with sensors and actuators, aware of their environment, communicating freely, and organizing themselves in order to perform the actions and services that seem to be required. The presence of networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct such systems - which we increasingly depend on - as robust, safe, flexible, and trustworthy as possible. In particular, a strong orientation towards human needs as opposed to a pure implementation of the technologically possible seems absolutely central. In order to achieve these goals, our technical systems will have to act more independently, flexibly, and autonomously, i.e. they will have to exhibit life-like properties. We call those systems organic. Hence, an Organic Computing System is a technical system, which adapts dynamically to the current conditions of its environment. It will be self-organizing, self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware. First steps towards adaptive and self-organizing computer systems are already being undertaken. Adaptivity, reconfigurability, emergence of new properties, and self-organization are topics in a variety of research projects. The priority research program of the German Research Foundation (DFG) addresses fundamental challenges in the design of Organic Computing systems; its objective is a deeper understanding of emergent global behavior in self-organizing systems and the design of specific concepts and tools to support the construction of Organic Computing systems for technical applications. This workshop will provide a forum to present the current status of research in Organic Computing and discuss challenges and future directions for research and development. Suggested topics for this workshop include but are not limited to: - self-organization and emergent behavior - complex adaptive systems - self-organization in production and logistics - self-organization in biological systems - bio-inspired computing - artificial life - multi-agent systems and cellular automata - technical usage and controllability of emergence - autonomic computing Paper submission: Authors should submit papers with a maximum of 8 pages before June 26, 2006, via the paper submission section on http://www.organic-computing.de/GI2006/ . Papers will be selected through a peer-review based on contribution to the overall topic, originality, and scientific value. All selected papers will be published in the workshop proceedings (and must be presented at the workshop). Important dates: - Deadline for paper submissions: June 26, 2006 - Notification of acceptance: July 24, 2006 - Camera-ready versions: August 7, 2006 - Workshop: October 5 or 6, 2006 Program committee: Martin Emele (Robert Bosch GmbH) Stefan Fischer (Universität Lübeck) Andreas Herkersdorf (TU München) Wolfgang Karl (Universität Karlsruhe) Erik Maehle (Universität Lübeck) Christian Müller-Schloer (Universität Hannover) Burghardt Schallenberger (Siemens AG) Hartmut Schmeck (Universität Karlsruhe, Chair) Theo Ungerer (Universität Augsburg) Rolf Würtz (Universität Bochum)

In recent years, distributed applications have indeed gained a practical and widely-known footing in everyday computing. Use of new communication technologies have brought up divergent application areas, including mobile computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, and ubiquitous services, just to name a few. New challenges include the need for service-oriented architectures, autonomous and self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, sensor networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dynamicity of distribution constellations. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS 2006 focuses on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable systems that are related to the latest trends towards service orientation and self-* properties. The papers to be presented at DAIS 2006 cover methodological aspects, tools and language of building adaptable distributed and interoperable services, fault tolerance and dependability, peer-to-peer systems, mobility issues, web services applications and performance issues and composition, semantic web and semantic integration, and context- and location-aware applications.

System support platforms can significantly affect the widespread and rapid adoption of novel mobile devices, because they influence both functional and non-functional characteristics of the forthcoming mobile applications. In fact, novel support for future mobile computing applications should be capable of reconciling the heterogeneity of low-level system features with application-specific requirements. In addition, it should be capable of managing the dynamic evolution of platforms and application requirements by accommodating novel system features and application requirements efficiently. This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to foster an exchange of research results and experiences in the area of mobile applications from a system support perspective. The ultimate goal is to envision new trends and ideas about theoretical and practical aspects of designing, implementing, and evaluating future system platforms for next-generation mobile computing applications. Submitted papers must be original work with no substantial overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or conference with proceedings. TOPICS OF INTEREST: Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - System support infrastructures, services, middleware, and tools; - Supporting functional and non-functional requirements (dependability, resource consumption, portability across heterogeneous devices, hw/sw personalization, QoS); - Runtime and programming language abstractions; - Support for system-, context-, and location-awareness; - Multi-platform solutions and runtime platform interworking; - OS support and integration between runtime platforms and native OS; - Usability, user acceptance and social impact of system support on nomadic end-users, 3rd party developers, and/or device designers and manufactures; - Supporting novel HCI paradigms, programming models, and design methodologies; - Supporting novel user interfaces and novel display (e.g., omni directional 3D displays, power-aware displays) and audio-rendering devices SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Each submission should include either a short or a full position paper including names and contact information of the authors. - Full papers should be at most 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style (two-column, single space, using 10-point font and 1-inch margins) including all figures and references; - Short papers should be at most 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style.

CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- The First International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation and CHaracterization (WiNTECH 2006) in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2006 September 29, 2006 Los Angeles, CA, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://chenyen.cs.ucla.edu/events/wintech06/ *** Submission Deadline: June 15, 2006 *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW AND SCOPE ----------------------------- In recent years, some wireless technologies (e.g., WiFi, sensor networks) have matured to the point of finding wide acceptance in the real-world and leading to many new and interesting applications. At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g., dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such diverse set of technologies and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying the key performance bottlenecks, thus shape future advances in wireless technology. With this in mind, this workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers addressing experimental wireless networking issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design and evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms * Experiences/lessons from recent testbed design efforts * Hybrid experimentation approaches combining use of multiple evaluation methodologies * Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures * Testbed management issues and monitoring support * Wireless testbed case studies * Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols (at different layers), and the impact of cross-layer interactions * Large-scale and heterogeneous wireless network evaluations * Approaches for real-world evaluation of mobile networks * Evaluation environments for sensor and satellite networks * Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing * Implementation approaches to ease transition between various evaluation methodologies as well as to improve testbed accessibility * New measurement methodologies and infrastructures * Measurement and characterization (modeling) of various real-world aspects such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics * Interference and spectrum usage measurements * Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies * Software tools in support of measurements, trace/data collection and management IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------ Submission deadline: June 15, 2006 Author notification: July 21, 2006 Camera ready papers: August 11, 2006 Workshop date: September 29, 2006 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE -------------------------------- Technical Program Co-Chairs: Rajive Bagrodia (UCLA) Mahesh Marina (UCLA) Program Committee Members (partial list): Victor Bahl (Microsoft Research) Elizabeth Belding-Royer (UCSB) Tzi-cker Chiueh (SUNY-Stony Brook) Marco Conti (IIT-CNR, Italy) Edward Coyle (Purdue) Christophe Diot (Thomson Paris Research Lab) Joe Evans (University of Kansas) Richard Fujimoto (Georgia Tech) Ravi Jain (Google) Ed Knightly (Rice University) Jay Lepreau (University of Utah) Prasant Mohapatra (UC-Davis) Dina Papagiannaki (Intel Research Cambridge) Dipankar Raychauduri (Rutgers) Mani Srivastava (UCLA) Peter Steenkiste (CMU) Mineo Takai (UCLA) FURTHER INFORMATION ------------------------------- Please visit the WiNTECH 2006 workshop website: http://chenyen.cs.ucla.edu/events/wintech06/ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
