*About Sao Paulo, Brazil*
=========================

Sao Paulo, the 19a richest city of the world, is officially inserted in
a larger metropolitan region
which holds 39 towns in total, and a population of more than 19 million
inhabitants (2005). It is
one of the biggest financial centers of Brazil and the world. Its
economy is going through a deep
transformation.

Once a city with a strong industrial character, Sao Paulo's economy has
become increasingly based
on the tertiary sector, focusing on services and businesses for the country.

Sao Paulo is located on a plateau, part of the vast region known as the
Brazilian Highlands, with
an average elevation of around 800 metres (2,625 ft) above sea level -
though at a distance of only
about 70 kilometers (43 mi) from the Atlantic Ocean. This distance is
covered by two highways,
the Anchieta and the Imigrantes, that roll down the range, leading to
the portuary city of Santos
and the beach resort of Guaruja. Rolling terrain prevails within the
urbanized areas of Sao Paulo
but in the North of the city - where the Serra da Cantareira Range
boasts higher elevations and a
sizable remnant of the Atlantic Rain Forest.

[Mycolleagues] CFP IEEE PIMRC 2008 Special Session

Call for Papers

IEEE PIMRC 2008 Special Session on
WLAN and WPAN Millimeterwave MultiGigabit Wireless Systems

Cannes, France, 15-18 Sept. 2008
http://www.pimrc2008.org/

The revolutionary advances in electronics during the past decades have
brought a myriad of different electronic devices into our lives. One emerging
trend for the next generation is networked communications between
these electronic devices to share the huge amount of data processed by
the individual units, for which fast and wireless connection is a
necessity. Many of such technical needs are expected to be addressed
by the emerging Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) and the future
generations of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), for which
unlicensed bands near 60 GHz worldwide are favorably considered. The
unlicensed ample bandwidth available in this band (up to 7 GHz
depending on the region) will enable multi-gigabit rate data transfer
between such devices. Also, the high absorption rate of the
electromagnetic wave around this band would allow a tight signal
confinement within personal space with suppressed interference between
adjacent channels.

The on-going standardization effort for millimeter-wave multi-Gigabit
WPANs is already being made in IEEE802.15.3c and ISO based
Ecma-International TC48. Also, much interest has been shown for the
future Very High throughput (VHT) version of IEEE802.11 WLANs.
However, although some of the new enabling technologies to manage the
multi-gigabit data rate are proposed from the contributions to the
standardization, there are many wonderings about technologies such as
how the multi-Gigabit rates can be processed in hardware and what is
the leading edge of RF/antenna technology for the personal purpose,
and what is the technique to overcome the effect of non-line-of-sight
link. In addition, although the available bandwidth is huge in
comparison with other competing systems such as UWB, there are still
needs to increase the spectral efficiency under the consideration of
requirement of mm-wave hardware. Thus there is a need for the
community to look globally at all these important issues in order to
have millimeter-wave systems with very high data rate transfer
capability a reality.

Scope

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

*Baseband, RF and Antenna related issues
**Mitigation of RF and antenna effects for millimeter-wave systems
**Effects of low power analog to digital converter
**Modem architecture for high speed data
*Physical Layer
**Signal processing for millimetre-wave communications
**Multipath mitigation and blockage avoidance techniques
**Error correction codes
**Equalization
**OFDM versus single-carrier systems
**Beam forming and MIMO for millimetre wave systems
*MAC
**High-efficiency medium access control (MAC) protocols
**Neighbor discovery in directional wireless networks
**Space division multiple access
**Coexistence and interoperability
*Services and Application
**High-definition video streaming
**Fast file transfer
*Towards Terahertz communications.

             The 1st Budapest Tutorial and Workshop
   on Autonomic Communications and Component-ware
                                    (TACC 2008)
                      http://cascadas.mik.bme.hu/tacc
                   Budapest, Hungary, July 7-9, 2008


THEME
We live in a world were the ability to communicate is fundamental for
everyday life. A panoply of heterogenous devices allow us to interact,
through a variety of services, with other people regardless of geographical
boundaries. However, this comes at a cost of significant complexity and the
difficulty of configuring the resources that provide such services. In order
to become full usabile, these resources, and their panoply of services, need
to be able to carry out their functions without significant intrusion into
our lives. A new generation of composite, highly distributed, pervasive
services capable of addressing these configuration and complexity problems
is required. These, in turn, need to rely on networks and systems capable of
managing themselves, in accordance to overall broad directions - rather than
detailed control - provided by humans, in a manner that is typically
referred to as Autonomic Communications (AC).
The workshop has the clear vision of bringing together researchers who wish
to address all aspects of the design, development and integration of new
generation services and autonomic systems, and aims to contribute to the
growth of this research community to realise the vision of scalable
self-managing network services and systems.

We welcome original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects
of AC, including, but not limited to the following:
* Basic principles of autonomic behavior
* Socially-, economically- and bio-inspired communication paradigms
* Service self-organization and self-composition
* Design and architecture for autonomic systems
* Performance evaluation of autonomic systems
* Trust and security issues in autonomic environments
* Fault tolerance and dependability in autonomic systems
* Autonomic Provision of Contextual Information
* Pervasive supervision
* Intelligent transport systems
* Autonomic Behaviour in Peer-to-Peer networks
* Autonomic communication in heterogeneous devices
* Provision of quality of service in autonomic communications
* Self-maintained and self-configurable communications
* Self-protecting communication networks and computer networks
* Monitoring and self-managing in ACN
* QoS in autonomic mobile ad-hoc networks
* Evaluation and demonstration tools: analytical models, simulators,
network test-beds, libraries, middleware, etc.
* Software engineering techniques and best practices for developing
autonomic systems
* Balancing of desired properties, e.g. self-adaptation Vs. self-protection
and experimental evaluation measurements
* Interaction of autonomic systems with legacy Networking protocols
* Applications of autonomic networks to the creation of new services (grid
computing, pervasive computing, etc.)

-----
The development and deployment of the multimedia services and applications in mobile environments requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach where both multimedia and networking issues are addressed jointly. Different type of semantic characteristics of media, human interpretation of audiovisual information, coding standards and interaction with networking, mobility and security protocols are research issues that need to be carefully examined when proposing new solutions. The efficient delivery and deployment of multimedia applications and services over emerging diverse and heterogeneous wireless networks is a challenging research objective. The research efforts e.g. for the 3G/4G and 3G LTE visions of interworking among heterogeneous technologies to achieve multimedia session continuity, retain multimedia QoS characteristics etc., amplifies the need to evaluate the conditions and restrictions under which delivery of such services can be accomplished. The demand for eff!
icient multimedia communications can be also seen as one of main driving forces towards the Future Internet and Post-IP solutions. The interoperability of applications, transport and network protocols and radio access, as well as the demand for improved quality of service and user experience, security and mobility support creates a challenging study field and also possibilities for research of novel communication protocols and methods towards the Future Internet. In addition for the technical challenges caused by the increased amount of multimedia usage and delivery through different community services, peer-to-peer networks, Web, Internet IPTV etc. the multimedia delivery is also affecting to industry value chains, commerce transactions between businesses (B2B), and business and customers (B2C).

[IEEE Net-SI-Middlebox] [IEEENet-SI] Extended Deadline to March 8 - IEEE Network Special Issue on Middleboxes

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies.

Please feel free to forward this CFP to related colleagues and students
for information.
---------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers
IEEE Network Magazine
Special Issue on
Implications and Control of Middleboxes in the Internet

Important Dates
===============
Manuscript Submission Due: March 8, 2008 (extended deadline, FIRM)
Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2008
Final Manuscript Due: July 15, 2008
Special Issue Publication Date: September/October 2008

Call for Papers
===============
Network Address Translators (NAT) and IP firewalls have been introduced
to the Internet some time ago, and over the time become an integral part
of the Internet architecture. Moreover, there are also other types of
middleboxes, such as Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateways, Application
Layer Gateways (ALG), Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEP) and web
proxies. These intermediary boxes perform functions different from
normal IP packet treatment, which can even change the content of packets
or do rerouting of IP packets.

There have been diverse views on the value of middleboxes. Some believe
that middleboxes introduce problems for network applications as well as
challenges to the traditional end-to-end Internet architecture. These
issues range, for instance, but not limited to, from naming and
addressing of nodes behind NATs, directionality of communication
establishment, and performance impairments. On the other hand, many
administrators and operators see the middleboxes represent an important
part for their network operations. For example, firewalls are widely
deployed with the intention of securing enterprise, campus and home
networks, so as to block attacks to nodes or keep nodes from sending
malicious traffic.

The Internet community has acknowledged the emergence of the middleboxes
and developed middlebox control and coordination protocols that allow
end hosts (or application proxies) to learn about the presence of
middleboxes and communicate their needs (i.e. required packet treatment)
to those devices. A number of middlebox control protocols, such as UPnP,
MIDCOM and STUN, have been developed over the years and are partially
used in current deployments.

The papers in this special issue will focus on the state-of-the-art
research in various aspects of middleboxes and middlebox control
mechanisms, which help to understand their impact to the Internet
architecture and network operations, and how they can be further
integrated, or leveraged for different purposes, such as load balancing
and mobile network environments, among the others. Specifically, within
the aforementioned context in Internet middleboxes and their control
mechanisms, the special issue will present tutorials, surveys and
original research articles (written in a tutorial manner readable by
non-specialists) that cover the following subjects, but not limited to:

* Middlebox-supported network architectures vs. other Internet evolution
alternatives (e.g., IPv6)
* Design and/or performance evaluation of middlebox software architectures
* Control and coordination across middleboxes and their traversal mechanisms
* Security, including authentication, authorization and accounting
issues with middlebox control/traversal mechanisms
* Scalability and performance studies of middlebox control/traversal
mechanisms
* Deployment scenarios and case studies (corporate, ISP, content
providers, mobile environments etc.) based on middleboxes
* Interaction and implications with other network protocols and components
* Interaction and implications with end-to-end applications and services
* Related standardization efforts

Call For Papers, Tutorials and Exhibition

Conference Title: NETWORKS 2008, 13th International Telecommunications
Network Strategy and Planning Symposium
"Convergence in Progress"

Location & Date: Budapest, Hungary, Sept 28 - Oct 2, 2008

Venue: Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget

************************************************************************

Networks 2008 will focus on the challenges of planning networks to deliver
on the promise of Convergence and NGN. The challenges are many - how to
build high performance networks for converged services where every step is
cost justified and drives profitable growth, where difficult issues of
scalability, end-to-end network performance, network management, network and
service control, reliability, security and interoperability are planned and
then realized, and where flexibility is maintained to allow experimentation
with new applications that can foster new and compelling revenue streams for
operators. Unleashing the core value of convergence and the reduction in the
number of network platforms requires innovation in network planning methods,
scalable architectures, new optimization algorithms, and understanding the
tradeoffs between different technology choices and migration paths.

We are living in very interesting times right now. The revolution we had
been hoping for is finally taking place. Mobile and fixed operators are
moving to next generation networks. Hundreds of trials are underway. Many
operators have made recent commitments, very significant investments towards
their future vision, often reducing spending drastically on extensions to
current infrastructures to allow spending on new platforms. At such times,
industry professionals are on a high learning growth curve and there is an
urgent need for forums where true learning can occur thru the exploration of
diverse perspectives and opposing viewpoints, the presentation of
leading-edge results in planning specific networks, and state-of-the art
methods and tools.

Networks 2008 provides such an opportunity. It is the 13th of such symposia,
held every two years, and attracting participants from all over the world -
from network operators, to systems and software companies, to researchers
from universities and industry, to systems integrators. At Networks 2008, we
will continue the tradition of state-of-the art papers, invited
presentations, and panel sessions, as international experts present their
latest findings and share experiences in network strategy, planning,
operations, management, control and design.

                      CALL FOR PAPERS

 

                    IEEE WCCI2008 Workshop

 

Machine Learning in Cognitive Networks: Theory, Application, and Future,

                with WCCI2008, HongKong, June 7, 2008

           (http://www.wcci2008.org/WCCI2008_Workshop.htm)

 

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

 

Abstract

Cognitive networks has attracted increasing attention as an advanced form of future networks that is aware of changes in user needs and its environment, adapts its behaviour to those changes, learns from its adaptations, and exploits knowledge to improve its future behaviour. The notion of cognition in cognitive networks implies a number of intelligent tasks including perception, acting and planning, learning, reasoning, and decision making, all of which require a robust knowledge representation that facilitates the sharing and reuse of knowledge. Hence, machine learning and reasoning play a key role in fuelling and driving the advance of cognitive networks.

This workshop aims to explore the state-of-the-art application of machine learning in cognitive networks and discuss the problems and practical issues of learning in cognitive network applications. This workshop will also serve as a forum to bring together academic and industrial researchers working in both areas for discussing recent advances in theory and application of learning techniques for cognitive networking.

 

Themes and Topics

A cognitive network is one that is aware of changes in user needs and its environment, adapts its behavior to those changes, learns from its adaptations, and exploits knowledge to improve its future behavior. The notion of cognition in cognitive networks implies a number of intelligent tasks including perception, acting and planning, learning, reasoning, and decision making, all of which require a robust knowledge representation that facilitates the sharing and reuse of knowledge. Hence, machine learning and reasoning play a key role in fuelling and driving the advance of cognitive networks.

Recently a set of enhancements to the original knowledge plane has been proposed for cognitive networks to provide high-level dynamic cognitive functionality to augment the existing low-level rule policies that dictate how the network should behave in certain scenarios. Learning engines have also been proposed to support decision making for context-aware services and applications. However, challenges remain in turning these learning models into viable commercial products. There are also a mix of open issues regarding the implementation of cognition, including distributed learning, decision fusion and robust decision making, dynamic adaptation of parameters, iterative numerical algorithms, and complex adaptive behaviour, among others.

In this workshop, we will discuss the following non-exhaustive list of topics:

•     theory and application of learning, reasoning, and adaptive methods in cognitive networking;

•     hybrid learning models and techniques that combine neural computational algorithms with abstraction and reasoning of a priori knowledge

•     advances in defining and using a common knowledge representation that can support different types of dissimilar knowledge for data and decision fusion

•     methods and applications of data fusion, decision fusion, diagnostic analysis for cognitive network management;

•     application of different forms of computational intelligence to automate decision making in cognitive networks

•     application of information and data models to support machine learning in cognitive networking

•     application of ontologies and semantic reasoning algorithms to support machine reasoning in cognitive networking

•     embedded/distributed real-time learning and knowledge processing;

•     implementations of machine learning techniques in cognitive network solutions and experience/lessons learned;

•     state-of-the-art survey of machine learning in cognitive networking.

 

Important Dates

      Submission deadline: March 28, 2008
