[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/.

19 May, 2008 Notification of acceptance
2 June, 2008 Final manuscript
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.
Papers should be written in English, not exceeding 5 double-column
pages (overlength pages will be charged for). Please, submit
your paper using EDAS before 10 April 2008.

[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.

http://www.new2an.org/rusmart

CALL FOR PAPERS

About the Conference

Next-generation mobile networks will evolve out of existing wired and
wireless networks of different nature by means of convergence, fusion
and mutual penetration; next-generation multimedia services in turn pose
new requirements and challenges on treatment of traffic within
communication systems – a certain degree of multilayer co-operation has
to be achieved. This forms a framework on harmonization of results
obtained separately in different areas of network research like network
performance evaluation, architecture and protocol design, and low layer
network design. The conference goal is in the identification,
investigation and integration of new algorithms, approaches,
architectures, methods and mechanisms to enable proper and efficient
operation of a next-generation IP-based wireless network. Special
emphasis will be given to next-generation traffic issues, it indeed
remains true that much uncertainty surrounds the future traffic features
and volumes, mainly because of converged type of traffic resulted from
converged network operation under converged services and applications.
Moreover, wireless access networks and their interaction shall be widely
examined and addressed throughout the conference.
The history of NEW2AN dates back to 1993, today it is an established
conference featured by proceedings published by Springer LNCS and
distinguished invited speakers.

The NEW2AN and ruSMART will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia - the
meeting point of East and West. Through its stunning architecture and
wonderful art galleries and museums, among a number of other
attractions, the wealth of history of East and West can be seen and felt
in this beautiful city.

About the Conference

Recent advances in the field of wireless networks have moved them beyond
their traditional areas of application to a much broader scope. They
form a space where users can access a number of wireless technologies to
interact with various services. Similarly, existent and future services
form a space providing an unlimited set of possibilities ranging from
browsing to interactive video conversations. All these layers form a
smart environment that can harmonize a number of technologies at each
architectural layer to provide the best user experience.

This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of
smart spaces. In this regard, the conference aims to bring together

Your design is bad. Reconsider. I heard from one person at Microsoft that
many have requested stack size increases for kernel mode drivers and the
kernel team said NO, NO WAY, NO HOW. There are some things that can
increase the stack size such as NTFS, and maybe some in the DirectX stack
(but I don't know about that), but not you. Describe the problem and what
design algorithms you are attempting to use that require that much stack
space. Using more than a few bytes per function for a kernel mode driver is
a very bad idea. Make that a VERY VERY VERY BAD BAD BAD IDEA!!!

This was limited to extremely special circumstances with graphics subsystem
only IIRC. And even then it was a huge cause of crashes, fix your code.

I asked this because I saw a contradictory measurement on memory allocation
in paged pool. The !vm shows that memory allocated in paged pool is 160MB
PagedPool Usage: 40960 ( 163840 Kb)
But the sum of all the paged pool used (!poolused 4) gives around 125MB. So
where is the remaning 35Mb?

Then in which kernel address space they are getting mapped?

In the system PTEs area, same as used by MmMapIoSpace.

From: francois


In the AddDevice() handler from our driver for USB device, we call the
IoGetDeviceProperty() and it returns STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND.

We use the same PhysicalDeviceObject given as a parameter in the
AddDevice() handler.

Can you see one possible reason for this ?

Our driver is BDA driver with USB WDM lower edge. The strange thing is
that problem occurs only on Windows 2000 platform with USB composite
device. On Windows XP/Vista, or if the device exposes only one single
USB interface, the call to IoGetDeviceProperty() is successful.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I tried to work around this UMDF restriction. At this I am using a KMDF
lower filter driver, which is supposed to handle the IRP_MJ_FLUSH_BUFFERS. In
the FilterEvtDeviceAdd function I have registered an IRP preprocess callback
like it is done in the KMDF serial sample:

status = WdfDeviceInitAssignWdmIrpPreprocessCallback(DeviceInit,
SerialFlush, IRP_MJ_FLUSH_BUFFERS, NULL, 0);

The return status is OK. However, the registered callback is never called. I
have used IrpTracker (from OSR) which indicates that the FLUSH_BUFFERS IRP is
completed by \Driver\WudfRd with completion status "NOT_SUPPORTED". In the
book "Developing Drivers with the WDF" (P. Orwick, G. Smith, page 503) I
found the information that the reflector passes IRPs of unsupported type to
the next-lower driver in the kernel-mode device stack.

So why does the reflector complete the IRP instead of passing it to the
filter driver?

Thanks and best regards,
Andre

Use some IOCTL instead of flush buffers.

Yes, I'm getting the following error:

I would just use a separate PID (and USB configuration #0) for the
"firmware loaded" configuration.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for very quick & short reply, could you be little more brief about
your suggestions (or) plz provide any link about your suggesting for mapping
kernel device memory to user space.

I am currently following the method suggested in below paper:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/kernel/mem-mgmt.mspx
But instead of getting the virtual kernel address space, i am taking user
virtual address space from below function:
MmMapLockedPagesSpecifyCache
After looking to the below article, i modified the code:

http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?id=423
Instead of using MmBuildNonPagedPool, i used MmMapLockedPages, with this
method, i could map the memory till 1MB, where as it was working only 100KB
with earlier method.
if i increase the memory limit more than this, i am getting the bluse screen
with same info.

And as Gary asked why do you think you need this? What problem are you
trying to solve, that can justify the security problems you are creating
with this approach? What is the characteristics of your device that need
the level of performance that can only be justified by this?

Optimizations such as the one you are proposing will affect the total
throughput only if the code path is under high contention.
Otherwise, the general rule is to improve the design to get better
performance and not depend on micro-optimizations.

Actually, IIRC KeGetCurrentIrql() is expensive enough that it will probably
decrease performance.

In these places, use KeRaiseIrql and the KeAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel.

In usual places, use KeAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel alone.

it comes down to a simple litmus test

1) if you know you are at dispatch level, the AtDpc version will be faster
b/c there is no IRQL get and possible set.
2) otherwise, if you do no not know for sure, just call KeAcquireSpinLock.
internally it will call KeGetCurrentIrql to know if it needs to raise to
dispatch level, so if you check for current irql first and you are at
passive level, you get worse performance b/c KeGetCurrentIrql is called
twice

No ways except the ones proprietary for this particular reader, and even

Hi,

I'm building something like the ramdisk example in the WinDDK. It uses
WdfDeviceCreateSymbolicLink to attach to a drive letter. The problem is
that when the driver unloads, the drive letter doesn't completely go
away. It remains in Windows Explorer as a disk with a red circle and a
white question mark in the middle. The "Map Network Drive" wizard shows
the drive letter as available. It completely disappears from explorer
after a reboot.

Any ideas? I want it to go away completely after the driver unloads.

Regards,
Kevin

Genetics of gene expression and its effect on disease p423
In this paper gene expression is treated as a quantitative trait in both blood and adipose tissue, and associations between specific genetic loci and body mass index are identified using a molecular network approach.

Variations in DNA elucidate molecular networks that cause disease p429
Standard approaches to identify the genetic changes that lead to disease are reversed by examination of genetic networks for perturbations that are associated with disease states, and following up candidate genes from there. This begins with three genes in mice that lead to obesity when mutated, demonstrating that complex genetic–environmental traits can be dissected with this new approach.

Compartmentalized dendritic plasticity and input feature storage in neurons p436
A newly discovered mechanism for synaptic plasticity whereby higher-order information can be stored in the forward propagation of local dendritic branch spikes is described. It is reported that coupling between branches and the soma is not static as previously thought, but that an associative form of branch plasticity allows neurons to encode the spatio-temporal correlation of inputs.

Haematopoietic stem cell release is regulated by circadian oscillations p442
Circulating haematopoetic stem cells and their progenitors exhibit robust circadian fluctuations, peaking 5 hours after the initiation of light and reaching a nadir 5 hours after darkness. Circadian oscillations are markedly altered when mice are subjected to continuous light or to a 'jet lag' (defined as a shift of 12 h). Data also suggests that circadian, neurally driven haematopoetic stem cells release during the animal's resting period may promote regeneration of the stem cell niche, and possibly of other tissues.

Coupling of spin and orbital motion of electrons in carbon nanotubes p448
Based on a detailed set of electronic transport measurements on high-quality, clean single-walled carbon nanotubes, direct signatures of electron spin-orbit coupling are observed. The findings may lead to new design principles for the realization of qubits in nanotubes. Furthermore, the observed spin-orbit coupling may prove to be a valuable tool as a mechanism for all-electrical control of spins in carbon nanotubes.

Proline-catalysed Mannich reactions of acetaldehyde p453
Organocatalysts are useful in a wide range of useful transformations, including a carbon–carbon bond forming process known as the Mannich reaction. But these reactions always failed when the simplest possible substrate, acetaldehyde, was used. This paper has now filled this gap in the market by devising effective organocatalytic conditions for Mannich reactions with acetaldehyde, greatly expanding the chemical 'toolkit' of organic chemists.

Tracing the stepwise oxygenation of the Proterozoic ocean p456
Molybdenum and total organic carbon data from black shales is used to gain insights into the redox state of the ocean. The data suggests mild oxidative weathering of the continents before ~2,200 Myr ago, but weathering becomes more persistent and vigorous at ~2,150 Myr ago, 200 million years after the initial rise in atmospheric oxygen. Limited availability of molybdenum after 1,800 Myr ago may have acted as a negative nutrient feedback limiting the spatial and temporal extent of sulphidic conditions.

Lower-crustal intrusion on the North Atlantic continental margin p460
Near the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic, the majority of basalt is intruded into the continent–ocean transition, rather than extruded onto the surface. This melt is intruded into the lower-crust as sills, which cross-cut the continental fabric, rather than as an 'underplate' of 100% melt, as has often been assumed.

Pleiotropic scaling of gene effects and the 'cost of complexity' p470
As more genetic sequence data are generated, evolutionary biology questions about inheritance and phenotypes can be examined with sophisticated analyses.

The Drosophila pheromone cVA activates a sexually dimorphic neural circuit p473
Despite marked behavioural differences between the sexes, surprisingly few anatomic features have been observed that differentiate the male and female brain in any species. But this study unveils a sexual dimorphism in the neuronal circuit responding to a pheromone, which induces different courtship behaviours in male and female fruitflies. The single neuron tracing technique that has been developed to do so should be useful to study the nervous systems of other genetically tractable species.

------------Deadline Extended to May 1, 2008 as many requests!-----------------------------------------
Thanks for considering...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



CALL FOR PAPERS

EURASIP JOURNAL ON WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS

RECENT PROGRESSES IN WIRELESS ACCESS IN VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT

(WAVE) AND FUTURE VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS:

THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION

 

Wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) technology comes into sight as a state-of-the-art solution to contemporary vehicular communications, which is anticipated to be widely applied in the near future to radically improve the transportation environment in the aspects of safety, intelligent management and data exchange services. WAVE systems will fundamentally smooth the progress of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by providing it with high performance physical platforms. WAVE systems will build upon the IEEE 802.11p standard, which is still active and expected to be ratified in April, 2009. Meanwhile, the VHF/UHF (700MHz) band vehicular communications systems are attracting increasingly attention recently.

 

The fast varying and harsh vehicular environment bring about several fresh research topics on the study of WAVE systems and future vehicular communications systems, which include physical layer challenges associated with mobile channels, capacity evaluation, novel network configuration, effective media access control (MAC) protocols, and robust routing and congestion control schemes.

 

The objective of this special section is to gather and circulate recent progresses in this fast developing area of WAVE and future vehicular communications systems spanning from theoretical analysis to testbed setup, and from physical/MAC layers’ enabling technology to network protocol. These research and implementation activities will be considerably helpful to the design of WAVE and future vehicular communications systems by removing major technical barriers and presenting theoretical guidance. This special issue will cover, but not limit to, the following main topics:

 

·        700MHz/5.8GHz vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)/vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) single-input single-output (SISO)/MIMO channel measurement and modeling, channel spatial and temporal characteristics exploration;

·        Doppler shift study, evaluation and estimate, time and frequency synchronizations, channel estimate and prediction;

·        Utilization of MIMO, space-time coding, smart antenna, adaptive modulation and coding;

·        Performance study and capacity analysis of V2V and V2I communications operating over both 5.8GHz and 700Mz;

·        Software radio, cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access technologies applied to WAVE and future vehicular communications systems;

·        Mesh network and other novel network configurations for vehicular networks;

·        Efficient MAC protocols development;

·        Routing algorithms and congestion control schemes for both real-time traffic warning message broadcasting and high-speed data exchange;

·        Cross-layer design and optimization;

·        Testbed or prototype activities.

================================================================
DSOM 2008 CALL FOR PAPERS
================================================================

19th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and
Management DSOM 2008 (part of MANWEEK 2008, September 22-26)
Samos Island, Greece
www.manweek.org/2008/dsom

"Managing Large Scale Service Deployment"

The International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management
(DSOM) is the premier annual workshop in the general area of network and
services management. It has built up its strong reputation over a period of
almost two decades. The workshop is sponsored by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management
of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the
IEEE Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and
Management (CNOM). In its 19th edition, DSOM 2008 will be held September
25-26, 2008 on the Island of Samos, Greece, as part of the 4th International
Week on Management of Networks and Services (MANWEEK 2008).

SCOPE OF DSOM 2008

The primary theme of DSOM 2008 will be "Managing Large Scale Service
Deployment" focusing both on management of overlay networks and on
virtualized service infrastructures. The concepts of abstract overlays and
virtualization could constitute key contributors for efficient large scale
service deployment and testing. Scalable abstract overlay networks
accompanied with appropriate management techniques could offer flexibility
for future service deployment and consumption with high quality of
experience. Virtualization decouples service substantiation from its actual
realization over networking and IT infrastructures enabling wide-scale
deployment of services. The goal of DSOM 2008 is to bring together industry
and academia to address the research issues related to managing large scale
services deployment, report on practical experiences and discuss about
future research steps.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Management of next generation service networks
- Virtualization of networks and services
- Self-management and virtualization in distributed systems
- Performance and QoS management in virtualized environments
- Scalable overlay network management
- Algorithms for dynamic overlay network topology construction and
service selection
- Distributed, decentralized, and P2P-based overlay network management

- QoS and resilience through overlay networks
- Dynamic service deployment for fault tolerance, resource efficiency
and high availability
- Federated experimental facilities
- Large scale distributed middleware
- Management and operations of massively redundant data centers
- P2P techniques for management of massive amounts of data and
services
- Middleware for efficient management of sensor network services
- Large scale personal content management systems
- Managing security in a virtual environment
- Fault management and event correlation
- Monitoring and measurements

Overview
========

The Workshop on Game theory in Communication networks (GameComm)is a
one-day meeting held in conjunction with the 3rd International
Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools
(VALUETOOLS'08 http://www.valuetools.org). GameComm'08 will be held in
Athens, Greece, on October 20, 2008.

The distributed nature of wireline and wireless communication networks
gives rise to many challenges related to their analysis, control, and
management. The selfish nature of users, development of decentralized
control mechanisms, and fair allocation of system resources are among
major issues in networks research. Consequently, game theoretic methods
are increasingly utilized to gain a deeper understanding of these complex
problems and systems. Specifically, game theoretic models have been used
in the context of Internet pricing, flow and congestion control, routing,
power control, and recently security, among many other topics. The
application of game theory to communication networks has attracted
researchers from a variety of disciplines, including computer science,
operations research, control theory, and economics.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers who are interested in all
aspects of the application game theory to the analysis and design of
communication networks. The goal is to display the state-of-the-art in
this evolving field, as well as stir discussion and outline possible
directions for further progress.

CALL FOR PAPERS

BIONETICS 2008

3rd International Conference on
Bio inspired Models of Network, Information and Computing Systems

http://www.bionetics.org/

Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center
Awaji Island, Hyogo, Japan, Nov 25-28, 2008

*** Technically co-sponsored by IEEE COMSOC, IEEE CIS, and IEEE SMC (planned)
*** In co-operation with ACM SIGCAS (planned)

Jointly sponsored by CREATE-NET, ICST

*** Submission deadline: July 1, 2008 ***
*****************************************************************

Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet scale down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way.

The fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems, capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities.

Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical solutions which have similar high stability and efficiency as biological entities often have.

The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the following areas including but not limited to the these topics:

a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools:
- Mathematical models of biological processes
- Cellular signaling pathways
- Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties
- Nano-scale and molecular communication

b) Bio-inspired algorithms and mechanisms
- Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms
- Artificial immune and self-healing systems
- Self-organizing network paradigms
- Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms

c) Bio-inspired technical systems:
- Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems
- Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization
- Pandemic service deployment strategies
- Self-learning defense strategies

d) Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT):
- Network algorithms and protocols
- Autonomic communication systems
- Evolution of network architectures and protocols
- Adaptive and self-healing network architectures
- In-network processing and autonomic networking
- Adaptive sensor and actor networks
- Topology control and network organization
- Localization and synchronization
- Mobility models
- Multi-agent systems and robotics
- Novel applications and services
- Network and information security
- Experimental studies

Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages, or short papers
of up to 3 pages, in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS

Hindawi - International Journal of Digital Multimedia
Broadcasting

http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdmb/

Call for Papers
Iterative Decoding and Cross-Layering Techniques for
Multimedia Broadcasting and Communications


The explosive growth of multimedia applications over the
Internet and the ever-increasing users' demands over
commercial terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting all
over the world call for efficient physical and cross-layer
techniques able to mitigate the potential problems
limiting broadband services over wireless networks. In
this scenario, mobile multimedia is expected to be one of
the key services of future wireless mobile networks.
Meanwhile, recent advances in digital communications have
paved the way to a variety of standards aimed at providing
multimedia services over terrestrial broadband networks.
To cite but a few, DVB-H, T-DVB, T-DMB, wireless LANs, and
wireless MANs are some of the most recent standards
enabling such technology.

Iterative decoding techniques for both source, channel,
and joint source-channel coding and decoding and
cross-layering techniques have proven to be very effective
for providing a viable means of achieving
capacity-approaching performance at very reduced
computational burden.

The main aim of this special issue is to highlight
state-of-the-art techniques on the most recent research
advances enabling digital multimedia services over
broadband wireless networks, focused on physical and
cross-layering solutions. Novel contributions, previously
unpublished, that are not being submitted to any other
journal, are sought.


Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the
following subject categories:

Iterative decoding techniques for concatenated channel
codes (turbo codes and serially concatenated codes)
Iterative decoding techniques for joint source-channel
decoding
Novel capacity-approaching channel codes: coding
strategies and efficient decoding algorithms
Cross-layer modelling/analysis and optimization techniques
Standardization activities on digital multimedia
broadcasting protocols
Space-time coding and decoding
Novel MIMO solutions for counteracting multipath mobile
channels
Channel estimation and equalization
Improved channel equalization techniques for SIMO and MIMO
systems
Experimental testbeds
Hardware Implementation and SoC solutions


Authors should follow the International Journal of Digital
Multimedia Broadcasting manuscript format described at the
journal site http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdmb
Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of
their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript
Tracking System at
http://mts.hindawi.com
