[Fwd: [CfP] Fachgespräch Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden]
by Lars Wolf 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CfP] Fachgespräch Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 09:01:55 +0100 From: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-ERLANGEN.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organization: University of Erlangen-Nuremberg To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch "Energiebewußte Systeme und Methoden" ============================================================== 1. Juli 2005, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen ------------------------------------ Energie ist eine kritische bzw. sogar die kritischste Ressource bei vielen modernen mobilen Rechensystemen und deren Anwendungen vom Laptop über das Mobiltelefon bis hin zu Sensornetzwerken. Energiebewußtsein und energiegewahres Arbeiten sind für mobile Systeme die Grundvoraussetzung. Somit stellt dieses Arbeitsgebiet einen wichtigen Bereich der aktuellen Forschung im Bereich Systemsoftware (Betriebs- und Kommunikationssysteme) dar. Insbesondere entstehen, getrieben durch immer kleinere und mobilere Endgeräte, neue Anwendungsszenarien mit hohen Anforderungen an Verfügbarkeit, Langlebigkeit, Adaptivität und Selbstorganisation. Forschungsgebiete ----------------- Betriebssysteme: Einzig das Betriebssystem kennt alle strukturellen Eigenschaften der darunter liegenden Hardware wie auch der laufen¬den Anwendungen, die implizit durch die Aktivierung von Hardwarekomponenten Energie verbrauchen. Wegen dieser Vermittlerrolle konzentriert sich die Forschung auf Betriebssystemstrategien, die durch Wissen über die Gesamtheit der internen Abläufe den Energieverbrauch wirksam beeinflussen können. Das Betriebssystem kann dabei die Hardwarekomponenten in den jeweils für das Gesamtsystem optimalen Betriebsmodus versetzen und die Verweildauer in den jeweiligen Betriebsmodi durch eine energiebewußte Aktivitätensteuerung beeinflussen. Ein Betriebsmodus mit reduzierter Energieaufnahme impliziert dabei in der Regel eine reduzierte Geschwindigkeit bzw. eine höhere Zugriffsverzögerung. Rechnernetze: Mobile Netze zeichnen sich durch die Nutzung von Radiowellen als Übertragungskanal aus. Funkübertragung ist bei hohen Datenraten und/oder großen Reichweiten sehr teuer in Bezug auf die benötigt Energie für die Transmission. Basierend auf der eingesetzten Technologie für die Übertragung und den genutzten Protokollen, kann die Anzahl der Sende- und Empfangszeit minimiert werden. Dies stellt einen wesentlichen Beitrag zu energiebewußter Kommunikation dar. Kommunikationsprotokolle: Aufbauend auf den eingesetzten Übertragungstechniken, lassen sich die Protokolle der Datenkommunikation für energiebewußte Funktion anpassen. Sogenanntes Cross-Layer-Design hilft, Verzerrungs- und Störeffekte zwischen den Protokollen der Sicherungs-, Netzwerk- und Transportschicht zu vermeiden bzw. zu minimieren. Neue Kommunikationsparadigmen helfen in hochmobilen Netzen den Kommunikationsaufwand für Statusverwaltung und Selbstorganisation der Netze zu vermeiden. Middleware: Mit der zunehmenden Vernetzung mobiler und eingebetteter Systeme ist das energiebewußte Arbeiten von Basisfunktionalität sogenannter Middleware-Dienste, wie Kommunikation und Vermittlung, unabdingbar. Insbesondere kann auf dieser Schicht nicht isoliert gearbeitet werden, sondern es sind schichtenübergreifende Umsetzungen der Anwendungsanforderungen auf Middleware-Funktionalität, den Mechanismen des zugrunde liegenden Betriebssystems und den Kommunikationsdiensten zu entwickeln. Querschnittsthema aller Forschungsgebiete ist das energiebewußte Arbeiten. Ziel des Fachgesprächs soll es unter anderem sein, Forschungsinhalte zwischen den einzelnen Fachgebieten miteinander zu verknüpfen und auf diesem Weg neue Synergieeffekte zu schaffen, die helfen, gerade die Querschnittsbelange Energieeffizienz und allgemeine Ressourcenverwaltung zu optimieren. Inhalte des Fachgesprächs ------------------------- Unter dem thematischen Schwerpunkt energiebewußte Systeme und Methoden sind Beiträge zu allen relevanten Themengebieten erwünscht. Dazu gehören unter anderem aber nicht ausschließlich: • Betriebssystemunterstützung • Kommunikationsmethoden • Protokollentwurf • Simulationstechniken • Schichtenübergreifende Entwürfe energiebewußter Systeme • Unterstützung von energiebewußtem Arbeiten durch Hardware Beiträge -------- Beiträge sollen als Kurzfassungen (extended abstracts) 2-5 Seiten im Springer LNCS-Format bis zum 1. Juni 2005 eingereicht werden. Es werden Beiträgen in deutscher und englischer Sprache angenommen. Die Einreichung der Beiträge wird im PDF-Format per Email an Dr. Falko Dressler (dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de) erwünscht. Die angenommenen Beiträge werden als technischer Bericht publiziert. Weitere Informationen werden unter http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/fg-energie/ bereitgestellt. Organisation ------------ Dieses Fachgespräch wird von Dr. Falko Dressler organisiert. Die Fachgespräche unterstehen einem Leitungsgremium bestehend aus Dr. Falko Dressler (Universität Erlangen), Dr. Christan Becker (Universität Stuttgart), Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa (Universität Karlsruhe) und Prof. Dr. Dirk Timmermann (Universität Rostock). -- Dr.-Ing.

[Fwd: [Tccc] SIGCOMM workshops: Deadlines approaching]
by Lars Wolf 22 Mar '05

22 Mar '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] SIGCOMM workshops: Deadlines approaching Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 10:49:26 -0500 (EST) From: Saswati Sarkar <swati(a)seas.upenn.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu SIGCOMM Workshops, August 22-26, 2005, Philadelphia, USA This year, SIGCOMM 2005 continues its expanded scope with significant emphasis on workshops. We solicit papers and participation for the following one-day workshops, that will be held in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2005 from August 22 - August 26, 2005 in Philadelphia, PA, US. For a detailed description of the workshops and submission guidelines, visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2005/workshops.html 1. Workshop on mining network data (MineNet-05) Todays IP networks are extensively instrumented for collecting a wealth of information including traffic traces (e.g., packet or flow level traces), control (e.g., router forwarding tables, BGP and OSPF updates), and management (e.g., alarms, SNMP traps) data. The real challenge is to process and analyze this vast amount of primarily unstructured information and extract structures, relationships, and higher level knowledge embedded in it and use it to aid network management and operations. The goal of this one day workshop is to explore new directions in network data collection, storage, and analysis techniques, and their application to network monitoring, management, and remediation. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds, including networking, data mining, machine learning, and statistics, to get together and collaboratively approach this problem from their respective vantage points. Deadline: April 6, 2005 2. Workshop on experimental approaches to wireless network design and analysis (E-WIND-05) Research in wireless networking is rapidly becoming more experimental. Research prototypes are being developed for systems ranging from large-scale sensor networks to high-speed wireless access networks. Moreover experimentation and measurement studies are being performed with off-the-shelf hardware and operational testbeds. The goal of this workshop is to bring together experimentalist researchers from diverse backgrounds including wireless hardware platforms, wireless communications, wireless testbeds, and measurement of deployed wireless systems. The workshop will provide a forum for exchange of ideas, challenges, and work-in-progress discussions between both the wireless and wireline measurement communities. The workshop will leave a large space to discussion and possible coordination. Deadline: April 15, 2005 3. Workshop on delay tolerant networking and related networks (WDTN-05) Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. It has scaled well beyond the original plan of its designers, and the Internet Protocol has been carried on a great number of underlying protocols, including itself. However, the Internet's protocol architecture suffers some problems when implemented on classes of networks for which it was not originally designed. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common, or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop, we wish to explore physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also requested. Deadline: March 30, 2005 4. Workshop on economics of peer-to-peer systems (P2PECON-05) From file-sharing to distributed computation, from application layer overlays to mobile ad hoc networking, the ultimate success of a peer-to-peer system rests on the twin pillars of scalable and robust system design and alignment of economic interests among the participating peers. Following the success of the first two workshops, the Third Workshop on Economics of Peer-to-Peer Systems will again bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the economic characteristics of P2P systems, application of economic theories to P2P system design, and future directions and challenges in this area. Deadline: April 1, 2005 We apologize for multiple copies you may receive. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CfP for DIN 2005: Workshop on Dynamic Interconnection of Networks Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 18:27:15 +0100 From: Prehofer, Christian <prehofer(a)docomolab-euro.com> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Please apologize multiple copies Call for Papers ACM DIN 2005 First International ACM* Workshop on Dynamic Interconnection of Networks _http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/mobicom-2005-din-ws.html_, (In Conjunction with ACM MOBICOM'2005) September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Scope: A salient feature of future mobile networks will be support for flexible, dynamic inter-connection of networks. New kinds of mobile networks, such as Personal Area Networks (PANs), Body Area Networks (BANs), inter-vehicle networks, and sensor networks, arise and have to interconnect among themselves and with existing infrastructure. Such networks will integrate heterogeneous technologies, and their topologies are dynamic. Currently, inter-working in IP networks consists essentially of inter-domain routing. In the future, the control plane interconnection of these networks needs to enable e.g. seamless mobility, routing, QoS, multi-homed networks, charging, and security. For instance, mobility handling is different for a mobile phone, a train network or a BAN. Hence it needs to be negotiated which specific protocols to use and in which way. The owners of future mobile networks often are non-experts and hence auto-configuration is a major issue. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers working on interconnection of mobile networks and related topics to exchange their ideas. Topics of Interest: Original papers are invited in the area of dynamic interconnection of networks. Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include: - Internetworking architectural principles - End-to-end control interconnection regarding e.g. Mobility management, routing, QoS provisioning, security, charging - Naming & addressing for inter-networking - Moving networks, ad-hoc networking and interconnection technology - Autoconfiguring networks - Self-organized internetworking Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: April 30th, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 15th, 2005 Camera-Ready Papers: July 15th, 2005 Workshop Co-Chairs: Christian Prehofer (DoCoMo Euro-Labs) lastname at docomolab-euro.com Cornelia Kappler (Siemens, Germany) firstname.lastname at siemens.com Technical PC Members: Bengt Algren (SICS, Sweden) Jon Crowcroft (Cambridge, UK) A.

[Fwd: SIMA 2005 @ MILCOM: Call for Papers deadline extention!]
by Marc Bechler 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

=== Wer schon immer mal mit Donald Rummsfeld Bekanntschaft machen wollte ;-) === Call for Papers � Extended Deadlines ! ! ! Workshop on Situation Management (SIMA 2005) In conjunction with MILCOM 2005, Atlantic City, October 17, 2005 More information in http://www.milcom.org/2005/call_paper_sima.htm. According to modern US defense doctrine, future wars will be characterized by heightened mobility, increased operational tempo and more complex and dynamic situations. As a result, military commanders will require effective methods of situation monitoring, awareness and control -- operations collectively identifiable as Situation Management. Critical aspects of situation management include managing and controlling sources of information, processing real-time or near real-time streams of events, representing and integrating low-level events and higher-level concepts, multi-source information fusion, information presentation that maximizes human comprehension, reasoning about what is happening and what is important. Furthermore, commanders will require management support systems that include control over their current command options, prediction of probable situation evolutions, and analysis of potential threats and vulnerabilities. Similar situation management tasks exist in several other domains including network management, homeland security, emergency/crisis management and real-time management of situations in financial, medical, and other service-related domains. As a rule, situations often involve a large number of dynamic objects that change states in time and space, and engage each other into fairly complex spatio-temporal relations. From the management viewpoint it is important to understand the situations in which these objects participate, to recognize emerging trends and potential threats, and to undertake required actions. Understanding dynamic requires complex cognitive modeling, the building of ontologies, and continuous collection, filtering, and fusion of sensor, intelligence, database, Internet based and related information sources. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and decision makers from government, industry and academia to present the state of their research, development and systems needs in situation management, to discuss fundamental issues and problems and to identify future R&D directions. This workshop encourages contributions from multiple domains and disciplines. Technical papers are invited on topics describing specific information systems, techniques and algorithms that facilitate the process of situation management, including but not limited to the following topics: Situation Monitoring and Awareness Logical Foundations of Situation Calculus Situation Specification Languages Situations Ontologies and Semantics Reasoning about Situations Learning and Situation Discovery Predictive Situation Models Level 2+ Fusion Systems Threat Identification and Analysis Cognitive Models of Information Fusion Real-Time Event Management Operational Situations Battlespace Management Homeland Security Monitoring & Awareness Emergency Situations & Crisis Management Sensor and Ad Hoc Network Management Papers (max 6 pages) have to be submitted at MILCOM's Web site: http://www.milcom.org/2005/ Papers will be published on CD and appear in IEEE Xplore. Besides authors, workshop participants are encouraged to submit a short position statement expressing their thoughts on situation management. Send notifications on your submissions and inquiries to sima(a)comsoc.org. Revised Deadlines: Abstracts/Statements Due: March 31, 2005 (extended from March 15, 2005) Draft Papers Due: May 15, 2005 (extended from April 15, 2005) Notifications Due: June 15, 2005 (extended from May 30, 2005) Final Papers: July 29, 2005 More information in http://www.milcom.org/2005/call_paper_sima.htm.

[Fwd: [Iscc2005] First CfP: TSMC special issue on Collaboration Support Systems]
by Lars Wolf 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Iscc2005] First CfP: TSMC special issue on Collaboration Support Systems Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 12:57:47 +0100 From: Giacomo Cabri <cabri.giacomo(a)unimore.it> To: iscc2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Call for Papers: IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics Part A Special Issue on Collaboration Support Systems Collaboration is a widely applied style to collect a group of people’s intelligence. Collaboration support systems serve as an important memory for the group. Ideally, such a system should evolve to become a knowledge base for the collaborators and for those who will use the results of the collaboration. How does one provide effective software structures and tools that will support a large group of people in their work, i.e., assembling, making use of, extracting and working with extensive collections of ideas and multi-media information? This question is still to be solved. The aim of this special issue is to make the point of the situation and to evaluate the state of the art in the field. Possible submissions should relate to both innovative proposals and global views of well-established systems/approaches not published elsewhere. Papers should present approaches relying on computational or mathematical models, and/or be supported by empirical evaluations. This call for papers will be distributed by means of mailing lists, a web site, flyers at relevant conferences and personal contacts of the guest editors. Each submission will be reviewed by three referees. The referees will be recruited among the constituent IEEE Technical Committee members for Collaborative Intelligent Systems, the program committee members of related conferences, and other experienced colleagues. This special issue solicits, but is not limited to, papers on topics that clearly address collaboration support systems, including: · Human requirements for collaboration on distributed computer systems; · Organizational behaviors on collaboration support systems; · Formal and abstract models for collaboration support systems; · Role and group structures on collaboration support systems; · Objects and agents in collaboration support systems; · Multi-user interface design for collaboration support systems; · Analysis and evaluations of collaboration support systems; · Security and privacy issues in collaboration support systems; · Information sharing in collaboration support systems; · Software engineering for collaboration support systems; and · Industry and enterprise application case study. Important Dates · October 3, 2005 Submission deadline · March 2, 2006 responses to the authors · July 1, 2006 final papers due · November 2006 expected publication Guest Editors Dr. Giacomo Cabri Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Informazione Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia Italy cabri.giacomo(a)unimore.it Dr. Haibin Zhu Department of Computer Science and Mathematics Nipissing University Canada haibinz(a)nipissingu.ca Professor Jian-Bo Yang Manchester Business School (East) The University of Manchester jian-bo.yang(a)manchester.ac.uk All papers should be submitted using IEEE's Manuscript Central for SMC Transactions Part A via the following website: http://smca-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/.
