[Fwd: [Tccc] SIGCOMM workshops: Announcement and Call for papers]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] SIGCOMM workshops: Announcement and Call for papers Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2005 20:14:31 -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. 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. 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. 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. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ACF-Members: CFP- "Context Aware Networks" : CANET'05 ; 5 July 2005, Paris, France Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 10:34:56 +0000 From: Alex Galis <a.galis(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> To: : CC: Ahmed Karmouch <karmouch(a)site.uottawa.ca>, Alex Galis <a.galis(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> Dear All Would you and your colleagues be so kind as to consider the enclosed call for papers (i.e. deadline 25th March 2005) for the International Workshop on Context Aware Networks, Technologies and Applications - CANET'05; 5 July 2005, Paris, France Thank you in advance. Best Regards Alex Galis [My apologies if you receive this more than once] ================================================ International Workshop on Context Aware Networks- Technologies and Applications - CANET'05 www.ee.ucl.ac.uk/~nsg/conferences/context05/ Held in conjunction with 5th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context, July 5, 2005 - Paris, France http://context-05.org/ Scope ====== Context-aware networking enables new types of applications and services in ambient environments. These applications can help users react positively to unexpected events such as emergency situations, acquire value-added services, receive messages in the most useful and suitable manner, or obtain compensation when planned activities are changed or delayed. Exploiting network-related context information can make mobile communication networks simpler, more efficient, and more powerful. For instance, mobility management can benefit from context information about the current position and direction of a vehicle, which could be provided by a navigation system connected to a vehicular area network, and information about wireless access possibilities in the then-known geographical area to improve its handover operations. Other examples are delaying the transmission of an email over an expensive connection when context information predicts the availability of a cheap hot-spot connection to be reached in the near future. This view of context management differs from the traditional focus on user preferences regarding applications and services; it rather takes a network-centric view: Protocols, not applications, adapt themselves based on context information. The aim of the workshop is to provide a unique opportunity for researchers, software and application developers, and computer network technologists to discuss new developments on the context aware mobile and ambient networks technologies and applications. Relevant topics ---------------- . Papers describing original research, surveys and applications in the following areas are solicited: . Context aware platforms and architecture for Ambient Networks. . Context in Grids systems and architectures. . Context Ontologies for Grids. . Context Identification, Retrieval and Management in Services and Networks . Provisioning, Maintenance and Management of Quality of Context. . Context Ontologies for Ambient Networks. . Context in Peer-to-Peer Networks and Services . Context in Autonomic Communications. . Context aware Self- adapting, Self-configurable, Self-Management Networks and Grids. . Autonomic Context aware communications and systems management. . Programmable Context aware Networks and Services. . Security, Trust and Privacy in Context sensitive Communications. . Context in Content Oriented Network & Service Management. . Context in Sensors Networks and Services. . Implementation and experiences with context aware networking infrastructure and components Important Dates ---------------- Submissions due: 25th March 2005 Acceptance notification: 15th April 2005 Camera-ready papers received: 30th April 2005 Program on line: 5th May 2005 +++++++++ posted to acf-members by Alex Galis <a.galis(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> +++++++++
