-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP:18th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS) Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2004 09:04:06 +0200 From: announce(a)teco.edu To: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Call For Papers 18th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS) - System Aspects in Organic and Pervasive Computing Innsbruck, Austria, March 14-17, 2005 http://www.teco.edu/arcs05 Paper Submission Deadline: September 20, 2003 ======================================================================= Future computer systems will be much more integrated into the fabric of everyday life than today's computers are. They will become smaller, more appropriate for their use, integrated into everyday objects and often virtually or physically invisible to the users. They will be also deployed in a much higher quantity and penetrate many application areas To provide such features and functionality, computer devices become tinier yet still increase in complexity; they must consume less power, while still supporting advanced computation and communications, such that they are highly connected yet still operate as autonomous units. This brings several research topics to the fore, including ultra-low power consumption, self-awareness, adaptive networking, smart behavior of systems, scalability and complexity of devices and systems. Pervasive and ubiquitous computing research addresses such issues by developing concepts and technology for interweaving computers into our everyday life. The principle approach is to enhance system functionality and adaptability by recognizing context and situations in the environment. Organic computing then addresses high system complexity by drawing analogies from complex biological systems, with the human-centered goal of self-organization. Organic computing investigates the design and implementation of self-managing systems that are selfconfiguring, self-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, context aware, and anticipatory. ARCS 2004 will emphasize the design, realization and analysis of the emerging computing systems for organic and pervasive computing and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The conference focuses on system aspects of organic and pervasive computing in software and hardware. In particular, system integration and self-management of hardware, software and networks are in the centre of interest. ARCS 2005 continues and replaces the biennial series of German Conferences on Architecture of Computing Systems. This 18th conference in the series serves as a forum to present current work on all aspects of computer and systems architecture. Besides its main focus, the conference is open for more general and interdisciplinary themes in operating systems, networking, and computer architecture. Papers pertaining to aspects of computer and systems architecture, in particular in the field of organic and pervasive computing are sought, including: Enabling Technologies and Infrastructure - operating systems - middleware for organic, pervasive and peer-to-peer computing - multi-agent and mobile agent systems - bio-analogue and artificial-life systems - context and locality - low power systems design - machine-learning, prediction, pro-activity - system design and simulation - reconfigurable hardware and software systems - safety, security, reliability - self-managing service configuration Architectures and Systems - computer and system architecture - modular distributed devices - self-managing, self-healing and fault-tolerant systems - real-time systems - mobile and wearable devices - embedded systems (consumer electronics, automotive) Applications - scenarios for ubiquitous and pervasive computing - autonomic environments - network server architectures and network based applications - semantic networks - ubiquitous, home and wireless networking The conference is organized by the special interest group on Computer and Systems Architecture of the GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik - German Informatics Society) and ITG (Informationstechnische Gesellschaft - Information Technology Society), supported by OCG (Austrian Computer Society), OVE/GIT (Austrian Electrotechnical Associastion) and electrosuisse (ITG), and held in cooperation with IFIP, ACM and IEEE (approval requested). In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presentations, the conference will offer invited presentations, workshops, and tutorials. The conference proceedings will be published in the 'Lecture Notes in Computer Science' series by Springer-Verlag. Papers should not exceed 15 pages (approximately 5000 words) in Springer LNCS style. We accept only electronic submissions in postscript or pdf format. The URL of the submission site is http://www.teco.edu/arcs05/ .

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP for special issue of CCR on the Internet's Vital Signs Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 12:17:30 -0400 From: Mark Allman <mallman(a)icir.org> Reply-To: mallman(a)icir.org Organization: ICSI Center for Internet Research (ICIR) To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS Measuring the Internet's Vital Statistics A Special Issue of ACM SIGCOMM COMPUTER COMMUNICATION REVIEW There are a number of measurements of the Internet's basic properties that are tremendously useful for researchers to know. A solid understanding of key Internet properties is useful for: * creating quality models to evaluate innovative new protocols, algorithms and architectures * understanding the overall context with which a new system will inevitably have to cope if/when deployed * gaining an appreciation for the variety and breadth of situations one may encounter when measuring the Internet Yet, as the Internet has grown, many of these measurements are no longer widely circulated -- often because they are viewed as operational rather than of research interest. Assumptions based on dated information about the operational Internet are used every day by researchers. Unreliable assumptions about the Internet's key properties may lead to everything from wasted time in appreciating the breadth of scenarios one must take into account in measurement analysis to simulation studies that are not of practical import because of the inaccurate models. The goal of this special issue is to begin the practice of periodically publishing measurement studies of the Internet that concisely provide reliable, easily accessible information for researchers to use and build on. Our aim is to complement traditional measurement venues that emphasize new measurement techniques and evaluations of new protocols and architectures, by updating the community's working knowledge of the basic properties. Examples of measurements that would be of interest are: * a breakdown of the types of bad/defective/broken DNS queries received at the typical root server; * how frequently the TCP/UDP checksum and the MAC-layer CRC disagree; * the distribution of traffic among different applications (perhaps, measured at different points in the network); * the ratio of local traffic to global traffic; * how often the forward and return paths of a TCP connection differ; * how often traffic is reordered; * the variation in BGP route prefixes advertised over the course of a typical minute, hour, day, week, and month; * distributions of round-trip times experienced in the network Our expectation is that each paper will be short: a description of the methodology by which the data was captured and where it was gathered, a presentation of results, and where possible, a comparison of the current results with those of prior years (and other researchers). The focus of the papers should be on the data, rather than on developing new methodologies. We encourage authors to collaborate to illustrate information from multiple vantage points in the network. In addition, we especially solicit papers that are coupled to public release of measurement datasets (even if anonymized in some form). Our aim is to initiate a cycle whereby the community constantly updates our collective understanding of the Internet's basic properties. Therefore, following the publication of this special issue, CCR and Sigcomm will endeavor to continuously publish papers on the Internet's basic properties to keep the community's perspective fresh. Please submit papers to the special issue by email to ccr-ivs(a)lists.csail.mit.edu For further information and submission details please see http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/ccr/ivs Please address questions about content or submission procedure to ccr-ivs(a)lists.csail.mit.edu Schedule: Submissions due November 1, 2004 Acceptance decisions December 3, 2004 Publication January, 2005 Special Issue Editors Mark Allman, ICIR Craig Partridge, BBN _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: [Tccc] Elsevier Computer Networks Journal -Special Issue on Network Modeling and Simulation]
by Lars Wolf 29 Aug '04

29 Aug '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Elsevier Computer Networks Journal -Special Issue on Network Modeling and Simulation Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2004 12:49:40 -0500 (CDT) From: Jennifer Hou <jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu (Apology if you receive duplicate messages.) ---------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Special Issue on "Network Modeling and Simulation" Elsevier Computer Networks Journal Theme ===== The rapid proliferation and integration of computer and network systems have connected infrastructures to one another in a complex network of interdependence. In addition, network systems themselves are undergoing dramatic changes in the underlying technologies and services provided, in order to keep up with the growing demands from new applications and users. Scalable network modeling and simulation approaches that can analyze and predict network behavior with known accuracy, at varying time scales and for different network sizes and composition, have emerged to be important (and in some cases critical) techniques in designing, deploying, and managing such complex networks. Abnormal conditions such as congestion storms, network meltdown, and behavior of badly designed protocols and policies can be detected with analytically sound and scalable modeling and simulation tools and corrective actions can be designed and deployed accordingly. In the past few years, quite a number of new models of traffic, network, and control have been created that exploit fluid flow models, discrete event dynamical systems theory, stability theory, statistics and measurement, and approximation theory to solve the problem of capturing both wired and wireless network phenomena. These models, with varying levels of abstraction, have been incorporated to develop scalable network simulation techniques to expedite simulation of extremely large networks (of size >= 100K nodes), rendering more than an order of magnitude of performance improvement. These models have also been used to devise a wide spectrum of both passive and active measurement techniques so as to infer, with high accuracy, various network attributes and conditions. Moreover, all the models and techniques, along with an appropriate on-line network measurement methodology, have also provided a basis for on-line network control, dramatically reducing the time and cost required for functions such as parameter tuning, fielding new and situation specific protocols, and QoS provisioning. These techniques can also be harnessed to significantly improve the efficiency of network operational functions such as planning, service provisioning, and failure analysis. Topics of Interest ================== This special issue calls for articles that address the most recent technical advances in network modeling and simulation and its use in network measurement and control. Of particular interests are 1. Innovative models of traffic, network, and control. Manuscripts are sought that document innovative research on (i) the theory and the creation of models that characterize network traffic and/or network behavior over a broad range of network sizes and time scales; (ii) evaluation and validation of various models with respect to their analysis and prediction capability; and (iii) development of methods that establish conditions under which models are trustworthy. Also of interest is the development of models of control that can be deployed on top of a given network and traffic model. Control issues of interest include, but are not limited to: network and protocol parameter setting, distributed quality of service assignment based on priority, dynamic selection of protocols, and distributed implementation of control algorithms. 2. Scalable network simulation techniques. This technical area seeks for manuscripts that report fast simulation techniques that incorporate advances in various traffic/network models and scaling methods to expedite network simulation of extremely large scale. Of particular interest are all aspects concerning (i) the development and deployment of models that can be used to realize faster-than-real-time simulation, while not compromising its fidelity; and (ii) use of faster-than-real-time simulation techniques to provide feedback to network control. 3. Model-based active and passive network measurement. Challenges of network measurement research are to define and develop (i) sampling techniques to support model development as well as model validation; (ii) models that relate, with high accuracy, measurement results with network attributes; (iii) both active and/or passive measurement approaches that are non-intrusive and yet render high-fidelity results; and (iv) on-line mechanisms that leverage measurement results for network control. Publication Schedule ==================== Manuscript due: September 15, 2004 Acceptance notification: November 30, 2004 Final manuscript due: December 31, 2004 Expected publication date: Approximately April 2005 Submission Instruction ====================== Each submission should include a cover page with the title of paper, name and affiliation of all authors, name and contact address, fax, and email address of the corresponding author, a list of five key words, and a short abstract of maximum 200 words. Please send PDF (preferred) or postscript formatted papers to Jennifer C. Hou (jhou at cs.uiuc.edu) according to the above timetable. All papers will be reviewed by experts for technical merit, correctness, relevance, and a clear exposition of English. Submissions must meet the following criteria: - A paper must be material that has not been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal. - Each submitted paper should be no longer than the equivalent of 25 double space pages excluding figures, graphs, and illustrations.

[Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Wireless Communications - Special Issue : Call for Papers]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] IEEE Wireless Communications - Special Issue : Call for Papers Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2004 00:12:31 +0900 From: 이기동 <kdlee(a)etri.re.kr> To: 'tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Our apologies if you have received multiple copies ============================================================================ ************ CALL FOR PAPERS ***************** The Synergy of Spatial and Terrestrial Communications in Next-generation Hybrid Wireless Systems Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine URL http://www.comsoc.org/~pci/ ============================================================================ In the last few years mobile radio communications have experienced great transformations and are still rapidly changing. The main "fuel" of this evolutionary process is, undoubtedly, represented by the strong user request for new conception multimedia applications (not only with a point- to-point nature, but also broadcast and even multicast) to be accessed in a "ubiquitous" fashion. An obvious solution to this challenging issue is represented by enhancing platforms based on the synergic inter-working of different technologies and algorithms, including the satellite ones. By this we mean that it is important to carry to its extremes the concept of "hybrid wireless platform" by including also satellite segments not only acting as mere bent-pipes, but acting as an additional radio access segment to be overlapped to the terrestrial ones. Broadband Satellite systems for Personal Communication Systems (PCS) are the last generation of satellites, characterized by the possibility of providing the user with direct connections without an intermediate link to a gateway and usually able to support broadband traffic coming from a wide range of multimedia applications. These systems can be either GEO or LEO satellites, use very high frequency bands, such as the Ku, Ka, and W bands, and, in any case, are equipped with sophisticated on-board switching and signal processing functionality, and high-capacity inter-satellite links. The way these systems interact with the terrestrial (preferably based on the TCP/IP protocol) networks is manifold. Whichever the way is, the new generation of satellite constellations is going to become an integral part of the network. In the highlighted communication scenario it shall not be neglected that a valid prospective alternative (or a complement) to satellites is represented by stratospheric platforms, called High Altitude Platforms (HAPs). Several advantages derives from Satellite and Terrestrial system integration, but numerous as well are the issues which remain still open and need further investigations. In the USA, Europe, and Japan great efforts are being taken to develop prototypes of new conception satellite platforms, ready for future telecommunication scenarios. Many projects currently aim at contributing to the design and deployment of so-called "global mobile broadband system" (GMBS), a unique satellite/terrestrial infrastructure ensuring nomadic users access to multimedia services with a negotiated QoS. Notwithstanding the many researches conducted on the topic, it still seems that a comprehensive analysis of the impact on the offered services deriving from the presence of HAP/Satellite platforms in hybrid wireless communications systems is still lacking. In the guest editors' opinion, a feasibility study on this argument is extremely important. Furthermore, many difficulties that Satellites/HAPs are still experiencing are more related to the lack of a clear understanding of their "killer" utilization in a next generation communications scenario than to technological limitations. Therefore, main objectives of the present Special Issue consist in: analyzing the main features that characterize the different satellite platforms currently available on the market; highlighting their intrinsic points of strength and limitations when they are integrated with terrestrial segments and thus called to handle multimedia traffic with different QoS constraints and requirements; describing how most of the emerging problems have been successfully faced by novel technological and protocol solutions; and making clearly emerge what is still under way of definition, what still needs further research efforts to come to a solution, and which is the frontier of the next few years research in the field of satellite and terrestrial networks integration. This will, hopefully, give the readers a complete vision of the state-of-the-art in such a strategic field as well as the instruments to understand the role of HAPs and/or satellites in the cited multimedia hybrid wireless scenarios, contribute to the understanding of their actual potentiality and limitations, highlight where there is still margin of research and development for the academic/industrial community, and contribute to the activities of deployment and/or to the design and implementation of effective terrestrial-satellite platforms. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * New Technologies, Algorithms, and Protocols for Next Generation Communications via Satellite * HAP based systems and applications and their internetworking with terrestrial systems * Integrated positioning/communications platforms based on Satellite/HAP for future applications * Novel services in Hybrid Wireless Systems * Evolutionary Scenarios for Hybrid Wireless Systems * Challenges and solutions for QoS provisioning to next generation multimedia services in Hybrid Wireless Systems * MBMS (Multicast and Broadcast Multimedia Services) architectures and protocols in Hybrid Wireless Systems * Demonstrator and prototypes resulting from relevant projects and research activities * New conception terminals for Hybrid Wireless Systems * The role of new band (Ka, W, etc.) payloads in future internetworked scenarios * Interplanetary Satellite Missions * Standardization activities and project reports All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.
