WSNs are characterized by a need to carefully integrate functionalities traditionally considered to be separate in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, a close interaction of research from different backgrounds is required. Additionally, WSNs are evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, e.g., because actuators in the network have to be supported. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging, miniaturization * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, mobility support, gateways to fixed Internet, providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Operating systems and programming abstractions: novel concepts and tools for programming and debugging sensor nodes, high-level programming abstractions * Middleware and service infrastructures: configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, QoS support, localization and synchronization services, integrating WSN in existing middleware architectures * Information processing: querying, coding, compression, fusion, aggregation, event detection, classification, tracking * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Novel applications: requirements, experiences with real-world applications; the role of WSNs in realizing the visions of Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds, debugging and testing * Models: energy and resource consumption, applications, mobility, and communication For further information, please visit the workshop website (http://www.ewsn.org) or contact the program chairs at <pcchairs(a)ewsn.org>.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Multimedia Service Composition (MSC 05)]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Multimedia Service Composition (MSC 05) Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 11:26:30 -0400 From: Xiaohui Gu <xiaohui(a)us.ibm.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Multimedia Service Composition (MSC05) Singapore, November 13, 2005 http://www.l3s.de/msc05/index.html AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------- Service-oriented architectures promise to introduce a maximum of flexibility and reus-ability of components into multimedia applications. Since most multimedia applications consist of several complex steps, the composition of basic services to achieve more com-plex goals is a mission critical problem. Moreover, important parameters for QoS have to be closely monitored and aggregated along the service chains to predict or guarantee certain values for the execution of complex workflows. Service composition is also a concept strongly discussed and researched in the Web community today. Web services are expected to take over an essential part of everydays responsibilities and their composition is necessary to extend their benefits to even com-plex tasks and value chains. However, most of these Web-based concepts and constructs today suffer from being generally invariant to data types including the new datatypes that are being heavily explored in the multimedia community. Using these well-understood and standardized datatypes the efficient provisioning and improved reusability of compo-nents becomes feasible. Thus, the move from data-driven to service-driven architectures promises to open up a whole new field of value adding multimedia applications dynami-cally built on top of basic components. MSC05 provides a forum for presenting new challenges and research results in multime-dia service composition. Its predecessor was held in the framework of the Brave New Topics (see www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_braveMMservice.htm) at ACM Multimedia Conference 2004 in New York, USA. We invite researchers, and industrial practitioners to participate and share their knowledge in this forum. We solicit the following types of papers: * Research papers (up to 10 pages) * Application/experience papers (up to 10 pages) All accepted papers will be published by the ACM within a dedicated volume for the workshops of ACM Multimedia 2005. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------- Papers should address specific challenges for service composition in multimedia systems, and propose or evaluate methods, architectures and techniques to overcome these chal-lenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - integration of web and multimedia service composition frameworks - system integration aspects in service composition - service composition support in middleware systems - session management for service compositions - service routing and aspects of distribution - role of service discovery in dynamic composition - semantic enhancements for service discovery /selection - service composition and meta-data representation - semantic distances between advertised service capabilities - ontology-based service capability descriptions (e.g. OWL-S) - service interoperability, interface design and impact on QoS - service level agreements and QoS guarantees of service chains - multimedia service personalization and customization - multimedia application decomposition and service modeling - multimedia process workflows and service composition lifecycle PAPER SUBMISSION AND IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished papers. Submissions should be formatted according to the ACM guidelines and have up to 10 pages. Submis-sions have to be sent by July, 29th 2005 to the workshop chairs 29 Jul 2005 Workshop papers due 22 Aug 2005 Notice of acceptance for workshop papers 29 Aug 2005 Camera ready papers due ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ------------------------------------------ Co-Chairs: Klara Nahrstedt (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA) Wolf-Tilo Balke (L3S Research Center, University of Hannover, Germany) PC members: Christian Becker (University of Stuttgart, Germany) Hao-Hua Chu (National Taiwan University, Taiwan) Peter Dolog (University of Hannover, Germany) Xiaohui Gu (IBM T.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP -- IEEE JSAC Sampling The Internet: Techniques and Applications]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP -- IEEE JSAC Sampling The Internet: Techniques and Applications Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 14:16:07 +0100 From: Iannaccone, Gianluca <gianluca.iannaccone(a)intel.com> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. All information can be found at http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/sampling_internet.html. Deadline for manuscript submission: OCTOBER 1, 2005. ======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications SAMPLING THE INTERNET: TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS Scope As the Internet continues to grow rapidly in size and complexity, it has become increasingly clear that its evolution is closely tied to a detailed understanding of network traffic. Network traffic measurements are invaluable for a wide range of tasks such as network capacity planning, traffic engineering, fault diagnosis, application and protocol performance profiling, and anomaly detection. This large and diverse set of applications raises the question of how to monitor the Internet in an efficient and scalable way. In the case of active monitoring (where probe packets are sent across the network to infer specific properties) the scalability issue arises from the size of the Internet and the potentially large number of end systems that one needs to instrument, as well as the number of probing experiments that one must conduct. Intuitively, sampling is an essential component of scalable Internet monitoring. Broadly speaking, sampling is the process of making partial observations of a system of interest, and drawing conclusions about the full behaviour of the system from these limited observations. The observation problem is concerned with minimising information loss whilst reducing the volume of collected data. It is this reduction that makes the collection process scalable. The way in which the partial information is transformed into knowledge of the system as a whole is the inversion problem. The inversion is in general imperfect and error-prone. The aim of this issue is to bring together work from researchers and practitioners devoted to the understanding of the practical and theoretical issues related to all aspects of sampling the Internet. In this context, sampling may take various forms. A classic example is to observe only a subset of the packets carried over a link, and then estimate traffic parameters which apply to all packets. Alternatively, one could target a subset of routers with packet probes in order to infer network characteristics such as the topology or routing matrix. Examples abound from a wide variety of application areas within Internet measurement, management, and analysis. Independent of subject area, papers will be in scope if they focus substantially on the sampling aspects of the problem under study, for example by exploring the tradeoff between observation and inversion processes, revealing the limitations of inversion techniques, analysing their properties, or proposing new ones, or by providing new insights by explicitly recognizing the impact of implicit sampling in many measurement studies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sampling and inverting traffic metrics with passive or active systems. - Internet end-to-end measurements seen from a sampling standpoint. - Sampling aspects of network topology inference. - Impact of sampling on anomaly detection. - Mechanisms for sampling live Internet traffic or collected traces. - Theoretical studies of the sampling/inversion problem (e.g., accuracy, complexity). - Distributed and adaptive sampling techniques. - New sampling methods. Submission guidelines Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via email to jsac-sampling at sophia.inria.fr according to the following timetable: Manuscript submission: October 1, 2005 Acceptance notification: March 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: June 1, 2006 Publication: 4th quarter 2006 Guest Editors Chadi Barakat INRIA Planète group 2004, route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia Antipolis France Chadi.Barakat at sophia.inria.fr Gianluca Iannaccone Intel Research 15 JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0FD United Kingdom gianluca.iannaccone at intel.com Jim Kurose Department of Computer Science University of Massachusetts Amherst MA 01003 United States kurose at cs.umass.edu Darryl Veitch CUBIN (ARC Special Research Ctr) Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering University of Melbourne Victoria 3010 Australia dveitch at unimelb.edu.au _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
