-------- Original Message -------- Subject: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting (EUROSYS 2006 Call for Papers) Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 14:40:15 -0800 From: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> Reply-To: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> To: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG EUROSYS 2006 Leuven April 18-21, 2006 http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/conference/EuroSys2006/ EuroSys2006 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: NEW IEEE ComSoc Symposium seeks papers Datum: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 15:28:10 -0500 Von: CommunicationsSociety(a)comsoc.org Antwort an: <Conferencesx(a)comsoc.org> An: conferencesx(a)comsoc.org <div class="moz-text-flowed" style="font-family: -moz-fixed"> c9d59c.jpg IEEE Communications Society is pleased to announce a new symposium! IEEE Symposium on New Frontiers in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN) will be held 8 - 11 November in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Current radio technology trends promise to enable "Dynamic Spectrum Access" (DSA) networks, using wide-band spectrum sensing, real-time spectrum allocation and acquisition, and infrastructureless mesh networks. Not only do these trends challenge the existing technologies, they challenge the traditional "command and control" methods of allocating and licensing spectrum by government fiat. IEEE DySPAN 2005 will be a new, first-of-its-kind symposium on DSA Networks that brings together the technologists designing and building these new exciting devices with the spectrum policy community that will be charged with re-architecting the legal regime for managing spectrum in the 21st century that must accommodate these new technologies. DySPAN 2005 seeks original, previously unpublished papers with either a Technology focus or a Policy, Law & Economics focus as well as Position Papers which are innovative and forward-looking and offer new insights that show promise of pointing out future research directions.

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]

-------- 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
