[Mycolleagues] CFP IEEE P2P'08 - 8th Intl. Conference on P2P Computing, Aachen, Germany, Sept. 8-11, 2008

======================================================================

Call for Papers -- IEEE P2P'08

8th International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing

"Distributed Computing/Networking/Services at the Edge of the Internet"

Aachen, Germany

September 8-11, 2008

http://www.p2p08.org/

======================================================================

SCOPE

IEEE P2P'08 is the eighth conference in a series of annual conferences
concerned with overlay network technologies and massively distributed
systems & applications.

Peer-to-Peer systems benefit from and share the resources owned by
systems that are distributed around the Internet. Examples of such
technologies include peer-to-peer applications and grids, and in
general, any large-scale distributed system characterized by
decentralization and sharing of resources.

Recently, interesting applications of P2P technology have begun to
emerge, together with new platforms for application development. We
invite papers that reflect experience with practical applications of
the current state of the art, or that explore new application areas.
We are particularly interested in real, large-scale, deployed systems
and applications, rather than small-scale examples composed of a few
nodes. The key issues to be considered are scalability, robustness, and
security; we believe that these aspects are fundamental issues that
must be solved before Peer-to-Peer and Grid services will become
mainstream.

Consistent with the previous occurrences of this conference, we would
like to promote collaboration in research among academic institutions,
government organizations, and business enterprises that are concerned
with the research and implementation of peer-to-peer networks, grids,
and large scale distributed systems.

TOPICS

Topics that relate to Peer-to-Peer systems, Peer-to-Peer applications,
Grid systems, large-scale distributed systems, and overlay networks are
open for consideration. We would like to give special encouragement to
experience reports with applications, with particular emphasis to those
that treat problems related to scalability, robustness and security.

Topics of interest for the conference include, but are not limited to:

* P2P applications and services
* Industrial applications / P2P in use
* Security in P2P systems
* Performance and robustness of P2P systems
* Self-organization in P2P systems
* P2P Information retrieval
* Higher-level query support in P2P systems
* Semantic overlay networks and
semantic query routing in P2P systems
* Trust and reputation management in P2P systems
* Overlay architectures and topologies
* P2P overlay interworking with underlying infrastructure
* Overlay monitoring and management
* Social networks
* P2P Systems over MANETs
* Delay Tolerant P2P systems
* P2P economics
* Cooperation in P2P systems
* P2P workload characterization and simulation
* P2P grids

The P2P'0x conference series has developed to a highly selective
conference on all topics of Peer-to-Peer research. The acceptance
rate of the previous conferences was around 20%.

All papers will be reviewed by at least three experts from the
mentioned areas. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Press.
A hardcopy will be available at the Conference. IEEE technical
sponsorship is currently pending.

INDUSTRY TRACK

We are especially interested in experience with practical, large-scale,
industrial, deployed applications. Therefore P2P'08 is going to set up
a special industry track in its program.

Please indicate when submitting your paper if you wish your submitted
paper to be considered into an industry track.

DEMO PROPOSALS

P2P'08 is encouraging the P2P community to demonstrate their latest
system developments and P2P applications at the P2P 2008 conference
site. In addition to the demo presentation announced in the official
conference program, a two page abstract will be published in the
proceedings.

For further and most up-to-date details check the P2P'08 web site:

http://www.p2p08.org

TUTORIALS

P2P'08 will host tutorials alongside the main conference. Tutorials
will take place on Monday, September 8th, 2008. Tutorial presenters
are invited to submit high-quality tutorial proposals on novel and
emerging topics as well related to the general focus of the main
conference or an introduction to P2P. Tutorials should generally be
self-contained in nature. More information on the conference and the
tutorials is available under http://www.p2p08.org/.

15 Sept, 2008 Workshop

* SCOPE:

With diversification of wireless access technologies and
their application fields, the role of wireless access is
no longer the last hop terminal access, but also for
repeating functionality such as mesh/multi-hop/ad-hoc/sensor
networking. Thereby more complicated wireless networking,
especially radio resource management is required to well
organize whole the networks. In such cases, it is almost
impossible to optimally conduct wireless resource management
based on a centralized control policy. Rather, distributed
and/or cooperative control techniques should be introduced
in necessary parts in any layer, such as distributed antenna,
cognitive radio, distributed MAC, and dynamic heterogeneous
networking. To systematize an academic basis of this new
research field and to discuss the adaptability of these new
technologies to enhance the performance of wireless
distributed networks (WDN), the workshop named WDN 2008
will be held. In order to achieve such purpose, we believe
that cross layer discussions among researchers in the
field of physical, MAC, and network layers are required.
WDN 2008 will be held in conjunction with PIMRC 2008,
as part of the conference workshops to make up various
contributions as well as invited contributions from many
research fields related to wireless distributed networks.

* TOPICS AREAS:

The main purpose of this workshop is to systematize an
academic basis over the various topics in wireless
distributed networks as listed below, and to discuss
the adaptability of these new technologies to enhance
the performance of wireless distributed networks.

- Application
Ad-hoc network, Multi-hop network,
Mesh network, Sensor network, Cognitive radio,
heterogeneous network, and cooperative transmission system

- Technology
Network coding, Super position coding, Cooperative sensing,
Cooperative relay, Virtual antenna array, Distributed
antenna system, BS or AP cooperation, Distributed RRM
or scheduling, Distributed MAC, Distributed MIMO,
Radio Spectrum Sensing, Spatial spectrum sharing, Cross
layer optimization

- Theory
Multi-dimensional Information theory, Convex
optimization, Game theory, Graph theory, Bayesian network

* PAPER SUBMISSIONS:

Papers should be written following the PIMRC 2008 paper instruction.

[SenseApp 2008] CFP: Third IEEE Workshop on Practical Issues in Building Sensor Network Applications (IEEE SenseApp 2008

__________________________________________________________________________________

SENSEAPP 2008
THIRD IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN
BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2008)
Montreal, Canada
October 2008
Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp

CALL FOR PAPERS

Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks.

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
Innovative sensor network applications
Middleware support for sensor networks
Programming and debugging sensor networks
Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
Experiences with new sensor hardware
Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization
Experiences with communication protocols
Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)
Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments
Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks
Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation
Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime
Configuration and installation support
Management of large-scale sensor networks
Interconnection between IP and sensor networks

Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library.

SUBMISSION:

FULL PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.
