-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on "Sensor-Actuator Networks (SANETs)" Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 18:29:06 -0400 From: <toweissy(a)vt.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, manet(a)ietf.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Journal of Computer Communications (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on "Sensor-Actuator Networks (SANETs)" Sensor-Actuator NETworks (SANETs) are comprised of networked sensor and actuator nodes that communicate among each other using wireless links to perform distributed sensing and actuation tasks. The recent few years have witnessed an increasing interest in the potential use of SANETs in many applications ranging from healthcare to warfare. In these applications, sensors are engaged in gathering information about the physical environment, while actuators are involved in taking decisions and then performing appropriate actions in the area of interest. This enables SANETs to provide remote sensing and actuation services to their users. SANETs are heterogeneous networks having widely differing sensor and actuator node characteristics; while sensor nodes are small, inexpensive, usually static devices with limited computation, communication and energy resources, actuator nodes are resource-rich and usually mobile. Also, the number of sensor nodes deployed may be in the order of hundreds or thousands. In contrast, actuator nodes are smaller in number due to the different coverage requirements and physical interaction methods of actuation. Typically, a deployed SANET is expected to operate autonomously in unattended environments. Operational requirements of SANETs may vary according to a network’s mission defined over a multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, intrusion detection and mitigation), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event recovery), and time. In SANETs, depending on the application, there may be a need to rapidly respond to sensor input. Moreover, so as to provide right actions, sensor data must still be valid at the time of acting. Consequently, the issues of real-time communication and coordination are vital in SANETs. Finally, to realize their potential, dependable, secure, application-aware design and operation of SANETs have to be ensured. Apparently, research is needed to resolve the many complicating issues that may impede wide-scale SANET adoption. This special issue of the Journal of Computer Communications will be designated for reporting on recent research results on SANETs. It is expected that non-conventional techniques more suited to the characteristics of SANETs need to be employed. Also, in many cases trade-off would be necessary in order to ensure practicality by dynamically setting bounds on aspects such as dependability, security, and QoS. Papers presenting original and unpublished work are being solicited. Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following: - Sensor-actuator coordination and communication - Architectural and operational models - Robust routing and MAC protocols - Fault and attack resilience middleware - Models, metrics and measurements - Self-aware and autonomous networks - Localization and mobility - Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols - Security, dependability, privacy and QoS issues - Network management - Formal representation and verification - Network inference (tomography, etc.) - Testbeds, simulation and visualization - Novel applications of sensor and actuator networks ** Submission deadline: February 15 , 2006 ** Decision notification: May 15, 2006 ** Final manuscript due: July 31, 2006 ** Publication date: 1st Quarter 2007 ** Submission instructions: Prospective authors should submit their paper and inquiries electronically to toweissy(a)vt.edu. The manuscript should not exceed 30 double-space pages in PDF. The manuscript should be in a single column font size 11 or larger format.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting (EuroSys 1 Call for Papers) Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 08:24:45 -0700 From: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> Reply-To: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> To: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Call for papers EUROSYS 1 Leuven April 18-21, 2006 http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/conference/EuroSys2006/ Important dates: Registration of abstracts October 8, 2005 (mandatory) Paper submission October 15, 2005 (hard deadline) Acceptance notification January 15, 2006 Final papers due March 1, 2006 Conference April 18-21, 2006 EuroSys 1 is the first of a series of system conferences located in Europe. It welcomes submissions and attendance from all over the world. It will be held in Leuven, Belgium, April 18-21, 2006. EuroSys aims to bring together researchers from different areas of computer systems, who are otherwise spread over multiple conferences. As a result, we seek papers on all aspects of computer systems. We especially seek papers that cross the divide between areas and address: * All areas of operating systems and distributed systems * Systems aspects of: - Programming language support - Databases - Distributed algorithms - Middleware - Parallel and concurrent computing - Clusters and grids - Mobile and pervasive computing - Embedded computers and tiny devices - Novel user interfaces - Real-time computing - Security - Dependable computing - Novel uses of information technology - Management, measurement and monitoring * Experience with existing systems * Reproduction of previous results * Negative results * Early ideas Papers should report, where possible, on the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of such systems. However, at least one session of the conference will be reserved for "idea" papers. These papers may not be held to the same standards in terms of evaluation as other submissions. Similarly, one session of the conference will be reserved for "experience papers", reflecting on the use or the lack of use of earlier concepts. For such papers, novelty of the concept is less of an issue, but depth of evaluation is of paramount importance. Authors may but need not designate their paper for one of these sessions. To encourage diversity, any single author will be limited to at most two submissions. To avoid conflict of interests, papers authored by program committee members will be held to a significantly higher standard, and their number in the final program will be severely restricted. Reviewing will not be blind. Authors should feel free to include their affiliation in the paper, and include all references in full. Papers will be reviewed by the program committee with the help of outside referees. The primary criterion for acceptance will be the impact of the work on the systems community and the extent to which the papers bridge gaps between different communities. Novelty, clarity of explanation and thorough evaluation will be additional criteria. Papers may be provisionally accepted, subject to further shepherding by a member of the program committee before final acceptance. The conference does not have a predefined format or a target number of accepted papers. Papers will be accepted or rejected based on their merits, and the conference will be organized in a format that accommodates the number of papers that meet that criterion. Papers should not exceed 14 pages double column including figures and tables in standard ACM format. Papers that exceed this length will be rejected without consideration of their merit. Papers must be submitted electronically in printable postscript or pdf form. For detailed submission instructions, refer to the submission web site.

Please feel free to forward the message to interested colleagues. >> Please note: PerEL 2006 Deadline has been extended. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 2nd IEEE International Workshop on PervasivE Learning (PerEL 2006) March 17, 2006 in Pisa, Italy http://wwwra.informatik.uni-rostock.de/perel2006/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- in conjunction with the 4th Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2006) www.percom.org SCOPE ~~~~~ The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on PervasivE Learning (PerEL 2006) aims to address the issues of pervasive computing in combination with new types and possibilities of learning, teaching and working. Pervasive learning is to be seen as a key technology for tomorrow's e-knowledge society. Here, content, context and community as well as a technical basement are equally important aspects for the realization of a global campus. High-producing discussions at PerEL 2005 showed out that technical pre-requisitions of pervasive learning as well as a research roadmap are given. First prototypical experiences are already available, but yet no full solution. PerEL 2006 covers both the technical as well as the non-technical aspects of pervasive learning forcing innovative learning environments by utilization of wireless communication and wearable computing. In combination with session and service mobility as well as device independency, the arising learning environments should have the potential to be accessed by anyone at any place and any time. Learning wherever and whenever needed is to become possible. PerEL 2006 addresses technologies, algorithms, tools, architectures, organization policies, and applications as well as didactical and pedagogical aspects and trends of pervasive eLearning. After all, it aims at an examination of future visions in that area. It will present original papers that demonstrate new results of research and development in the field of pervasive learning. We are looking for results of theoretical, empirical, and practical studies. Topics of interest are all aspects of pervasive learning as mentioned above. This includes, but is not limited to: - mobile communication (asynchronous, synchronous) - service and session mobility - document, knowledge, and service management - tools and architectures for mobile/ubiquitous eLearning - smart devices and device-independent presentation - techniques for cooperative learning or working - pervasive gaming for learning, eLearning networks - realization of pervasive learning scenarios - best practice studies and experiences PerEL 2006 will discuss new techniques for the support of mobile teaching, learning and working from a pervasive point of view. As started by its predecessor in 2005, the workshop continues to bring together researchers and developers from different technical and educational disciplines. Its intension is to assemble outstanding work in order to enable the realization of improved pervasive learning arrangements. SUBMISSIONS ~~~~~~~~~~~ We kindly invite authors to submit full papers on original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style.

In parallel to the Internet, mobile communications also has evolved to an integral component in our everyday life providing a growing variety of services. Industry is pushing new standards that allow high data rate multimedia applications as well as seamless communication across heterogeneous radio and network technologies. The success of the next generation mobile telecommunication systems will again depend on the services and applications that can be provided. These future systems are expected to integrate the paradigms of traditional mobile telecommunication systems with the Internet protocols and software engineering methods. New paradigms will emerge. For example, the customer acceptance is considered to be widely increased by tailoring services and applications to actual user needs, their preferences and the context a user is in. Ubiquitous services receive increased user acceptance (e.g., Peer-to-Peer). A well engineered next generation service platform should provide all capabilities to allow innovative services to be created and deployed in short time addressing user needs. Third party interfaces allow a chaining of expertise in service provisioning. Semantic technologies may help to structure knowledge about the user environment. Researchers, practitioners and developers are invited to submit original unpublished papers in the following areas: * Open Service Architectures (open interfaces, third party providers) * Mobile Service Platforms (incl. terminal aspects and mobile middleware) * Service Platforms for ubiquitous communication and P2P * Capabilities and features for next generation mobile services (context-awareness, personalization/personal agent, high quality multimedia, information distribution, adaptation) * Service Building Blocks (service modelling, semantic technologies, service creation, service discovery, service composition, service management) * Privacy and trust as enabling technologies for future service platforms * Mobile service platform prototypes and evaluation * Innovative applications and services This workshop is open to contributions from all experts in service technologies from industry and academia, including bodies such as mITF and WWRF, but not being limited to those. The Mobile IT Forum (mITF) and the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) are both organizations working towards the next generation of mobile communication systems. The two bodies represent each more than 140 member organizations (including companies, universities, and research institutes). Both bodies have dedicated working groups to the architecture/platform challenge. This workshop will be an opportunity to discuss service architecture/platform issues on a highly international level with experts from both bodies. Submission Guidelines Page limit: 4 pages in IEEE Conference format.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ICNSC Special Session CFP: Energy-Efficient Wireless Communication Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2005 15:25:25 -0400 (EDT) From: Chi Zhang <czhang(a)cs.fiu.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers 2006 IEEE International Conference On Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC 06) Special Session: Energy-Efficient Wireless Communication Energy consumption in wireless networks is an important design consideration due to the limited battery capacity of mobile devices. Advances in hardware and software technologies have not been matched by corresponding improvements in battery technologies. Since wireless communication is a major contributor to the total energy consumption on many battery-powered mobile devices, the success of new wireless technologies is contingent on their power-conservation techniques. It is important to understand and characterize the energy-consumption behaviors of the communication components in mobile devices. Furthermore, considerable research has been devoted to low-power design of the entire network protocol stack of wireless networks, in an effort to enhance energy efficiency. The goal of this special session is to bring together researchers in the field of energy-efficient wireless communications and networks, and provide a forum for the state-of-the-art research and development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, power-conservation techniques on the following aspects of wireless computing: -Power-aware network architectures -Power management and control -Energy consumption modeling -Antennas and RF subsystems -Coding and modulation -Media access control -Routing and Mobile IP -Transport protocols -Middleware and applications -Wireless sensor networks -Heterogeneous (wired/wireless) networks Important Dates Paper submission deadline: September 15, 2005 Notification of acceptance: November 15, 2005 Camera-ready copy due: December 15, 2005 Web Site and Further Information 2006 IEEE International Conference On Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC 06) http://web.umr.edu/~icnsc06/ Special Session on Energy-Efficient Wireless Communication http://bluehawk.monmouth.edu/~jwang/Wireless.html For additional information, please contact Prof. Chi Zhang (czhang AT cs dot fiu dot edu). _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

WORKSHOP ON ENGINEERING SERVICE COMPOSITIONS (WESC'05) In conjunction with the 3rd Int. Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2005) http://www.icsoc.org/ <http://www.icsoc.org/> December 12, 2005 Amsterdam, The Netherlands WESC Workshop Website http://fresco-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wesc05/ <http://fresco-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wesc05/> Paper Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2005 SYNOPSIS ======== The emerging paradigm of service-oriented computing (SOC) introduces ground-breaking concepts for distributed- and e-business processing that are radically changing the way software applications are designed, architected, delivered and consumed. Services, which constitute the heart of SOC, are autonomous platform-independent computational elements that can be described, published, discovered and accessed over the Web using standard protocols. Service-oriented architectures (SOA) leverage the foundational capabilities of computational service models to provide technological as well as conceptual frameworks for a new class of cooperative business applications: agile networks of collaborating business applications distributed within and across organisational boundaries. Consequently, SOA not only includes software technologies to aggregate atomic services into composite services (a.k.a. service composition) but also the software engineering methodology to turn composite services into cooperative business applications (a.k.a. service engineering). In fact, service composition and software engineering are highly interrelated. Service composition not only developed towards the major software technology approach for composing multiple coarse-grained applications over the Web but also originated pioneering concepts such as orchestration and choreography. Such concepts introduce significantly different ways of managing business connectivity, thus making a strong impact on application semantics and vice versa. In order to guarantee a certain quality level of SOA-based cooperative business applications with respect to functional and non-functional requirements, software engineers have to take into account the impacts of service composition models. In the emerging discipline of service engineering, that generally benefits from former research on component- and aspect-oriented software engineering methodologies, there are already promising results on novel conceptual and technological tools to support the development processes of cooperative business applications. However, such tools need to be increasingly aligned with service composition technology. Still, joint approaches on engineering service compositions face several open problems and challenges. Concerning the technology side there is still neither an agreement on service composition models and languages nor on their scope of application; let alone experiences on mission critical operation. As regards methodology , reference architectures of service-oriented cooperative information systems taking into account particularities of the service composition lifecycles are just at the beginning. This is just to name a few of the challenges. GOAL ==== Accordingly, the workshop is intended to bring together experts from service composition technology and service engineering methodology; researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. It is meant to foster discussions about problems and challenges that particularly arise during the practical combination of both fields of expertise for the realisation of service-based, cooperative business information systems. TOPICS ====== WESC'05 welcomes research submissions on all topics related to engineering service compositions, including but not limited to those listed below: Models for composing software applications from services - Models and languages for composition, coordination and aggregation of application software services - Programming abstractions for service composition - High-level abstractions for service composition (workflows, rules, policies...) - Scope and applicability of service composition standards (e.g. BPEL, WSCI) w.r.t. software composition - ... Themes/paradigms for conceptualising service compositions - Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) as composition framework - Service composition as a form of programming in the large - Software services as building blocks for componentware and component-oriented software engineering - Service composition for product line software e.g. in an application service provision (ASP) context - Service composition as a link between software engineering and enterprise application integration (EAI) - Service composition in agent-based software engineering - ... Methodology for engineering service compositions - Reference architectures for composite service-based applications - Lifecycle models for service composition - Impacts of service composition on requirement engineering - Methods for design and analysis of service compositions - Dependability of service compositions - Quality models and measures for service compositions - Methods for validation and verification of service compositions - Refactorisation of service compositions - ... Technology for developing/implementing service compositions - Pattern techniques and service composition patterns - Framework architectures for service composition - Aspect-oriented composition of software services - Applying/adopting UML and MDA for service composition - Testing of service compositions - CASE-tools for service composition - Industrial case studies - ...
