-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for papers - OSIHPA 2005 Workshop Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2005 15:18:42 -0400 From: Ronald Mraz <mraz(a)us.ibm.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu =============================== CALL FOR PAPERS - OSIHPA 2005 =============================== 1st International Workshop on Operating System Interference in High Performance Applications OSIHPA 2005 In conjunction with the PACT 05 http://www.pactconf.org/ September 17, 2005, Saint Louis, Missouri High performance applications require efficient coordination of execution between parallel processes to insure that high bandwidth, low latency communications can be utilized to the fullest potential. Having the individual components of a parallel application depended upon uncoordinated efforts of commodity operating system schedulers can reduce the performance of a parallel machine significantly. Furthermore, the performance can be reduced to the point that scalability is impaired. The goal of the workshop is to better understand the impact that operating system interference has on multithreading, increased scalability and other new technologies. In this workshop, we seek to bring together diverse participants who are managing this problem through hardware, scheduling, operating systems and compilers. We encourage active participation from processor architects, system architects, operating systems designers, virtual machine architects, compiler writers, performance analysts, and developers. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) * Characterization and scheduling of multithreaded execution environments * Characterization of runtime interaction among the OS, VM, and memory system * Characterization of runtime libraries and their impact on behavior and performance * Effects of architectural features on workload behavior and architecture enhancements for managing OS interference. * Characterization of memory access and allocation patterns, heap structure and usage, and garbage collection techniques * Emerging benchmarks of managed applications, including classes of applications ranging from clients, servers, embedded and real-time systems * Profiling methods and tools for measuring, understanding, and optimizing the behavior of managed applications * Online feedback-directed optimizations * Measurements and techniques for identifying bottlenecks in applications * Implications of security, distribution, and concurrency in managing operating system interference. * Impact of optimizations on workloads Important Dates and Deadlines * Submission: July 18, 2005 * Notification: August 17, 2005 * Final Papers: September 1, 2005 Submission Guidelines We invite participation from both researchers and developers, who have knowledge of operating system interference in parallel environments that should be shared. We will accept a paper submission of 6-8 pages in length which should be written in standard IEEE format for conference proceedings. It is expected that an accepted submission of this type will result in a final paper appearing in the workshop's proceedings. Instructions for submission will be posted at this site at a later date. http://research.ihost.com/osihpa/index.html Organizers Ronald Mraz IBM Research 19 Skyline Drive Hawthorne, NY 10532 Email: mraz(a)us.ibm.com Ronald Minnich Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, NM 87545 Email: rminnich(a)lanl.gov Fabrizio Petrini Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, NM 87545 Email: fabrizio(a)lanl.gov _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please, find below the following CFP. Best wishes, Pedro M. Ruiz Univ. of Murcia We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2005 1st International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2005 (www.mass05.wpi.edu) Washington, DC, USA, November 7-10, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the researh community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behaviour achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The main objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *Medium access control *Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks *Hybrid networks and wireless Internet *Security in ad hoc networks *Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery *Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks *Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks *Quality of service in medium access control and routing *Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks *Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: June 29, 2005 Acceptance Notification: July 29, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: August 26, 2005 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

In many cases, as well as in aerospace applications, the wireless choice is a must. In other cases, wireless means resource optimization, as in the case of Wireless LANs. Cable networks and the Internet are not sufficient to support applications in some environments. People may require news on the web in hazardous environments. Moreover, in the presence of infrastructure, traffic bottlenecks of terrestrial networks and traditional links could make the service highly inefficient, if not useful. Therefore, there is increasing commercial interest to use wireless in modern telecommunications systems such as local area services, interactivity and possibility of building networks adapted to the different needs; tele-learning; managing activity of the Public Administration; bank and financial services; industrial activity located remotely; broadcasting and backbone access; international connections; tele-medicine; data recovery; video-surveillance; application in rural environments; applications for vehicles, trains and planes; and tactical communications, among others. Offering real services with a specific guarantee of Quality of Service (QoS) over wireless systems (including WLAN, radio and satellite) is very challenging as it implies the need to solve challenging research and development issues due to the peculiarity of the application environment. This issue of Computers and Electrical Engineering (C & EE) Journal is aimed at soliciting recent original and previously unpublished research results that deal with technological solutions, protocols, applications, performance analysis of Wireless Networks, including WLANs, WMANs, radio networks, 3G and beyond systems, military tactical and satellite networks.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networking Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 16:03:54 -0400 (EDT) From: Jun Zheng <vjzheng(a)site.uottawa.ca> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ===================================================== * Call for Papers * * * * IEEE Network Special Issue on * * * * Wireless Sensor Networking * *==================================================== http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/special.html Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) recently received tremendous attention from both academia and industry because of its promise of a wide range of potential applications in both civil and military areas. A WSN consists of a large number of small sensor nodes with sensing, data processing, and communication capabilities, which are deployed in a region of interest and collaborate to accomplish a common task, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and industry process control. Distinguished from traditional wireless networks, WSNs are characterized of dense node deployment, unreliable sensor node, frequent topology change, and severe power, computation, and memory constraints. These unique characteristics and constraints present many new challenges to the design and implementation of WSNs, such as energy conservation, self-organization, efficient data dissemination, and fault tolerance. For example, energy efficiency is the key to prolonging the network lifetime and is thus of primary importance in WSNs. It must be considered not only at the physical layer but also at the link layer and the network layer in sensor network design. Although many networking protocols and algorithms have been developed for traditional wireless ad hoc networks, they cannot effectively address the unique characteristics and constraints and application requirements of sensor networks. To meet the new challenges, innovative protocols and algorithms are needed to achieve energy efficiency, flexible scalability and adaptability, and good network performance. For example, it is highly desirable to develop new energy-efficient protocols for topology discovery, self-organization, medium access control, route discovery, and data dissemination. An efficient query processing and data aggregation algorithm can significantly reduce the number of transmissions of sensor nodes and thus provide substantial energy savings and prolong the lifetime of the network. In addition, open standards are important and imperative to facilitate and improve the development of WSNs. To realize the vision of WSNs, a large amount of research and development activities are going on in recent years. The purpose of this special issue is to expose the readership of IEEE Network to the latest research and development progress in this hot and exciting area. Scope of Contributions This special issue aims to publish a collection of research and survey articles that focus on the latest research and development results in all networking aspects of WSNs. Original research and survey articles are solicited from all researchers and practitioners. Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to the readers outside the specialty of the article. As applicable to WSNs, topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Network architectures and protocols * Topology discovery and self-organization * Energy-efficient medium access control (MAC) * Energy-efficient routing and data dissemination * Query processing and data aggregation * Fault tolerance and self-healing * Field trials and standardization activities Manuscript Submission Authors should submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF format via email to one of the guest editors. With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html.

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 laufenden 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) 2-6 Seiten im Springer LNCS-Format eingereicht werden. Es werden Beiträgen in deutscher und englischer Sprache angenommen. Die angenommenen Beiträge werden als technischer Bericht publiziert. Weitere Informationen werden unter http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/fg-energie/ bereitgestellt. Einreichung als PDF bitte an Falko Dressler (dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de). ----------------------------------------------- Wichtige Daten: Frist für die Einreichungen: 16.9.2005 Benachrichtigung: 4.10.2005 Tagung: 11./12.10.2005 ----------------------------------------------- Organisation ------------ Dieses Fachgespräch wird von Falko Dressler organisiert. Die Fachgespräche unterstehen einem Leitungsgremium bestehend aus Dr. Falko Dressler (Universität Erlangen), Dr. Christian Becker (Universität Stuttgart), Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa (Universität Karlsruhe) und Prof. Dr. Dirk Timmermann (Universität Rostock). Aufgrund einer Terminkollision mit der Jahrestagung der GI-Fachgruppe Betriebssysteme haben wir uns entschieden, das Fachgespräch auf Oktober zu verschieben. Dies hat den gleichzeitigen Vorteil der zeitlichen und örtlichen Nähe zum Fachgespräch „Systemsoftware für Pervasive Computing“, welches auch in Erlangen stattfinden wird. -- Dr.-Ing.
