------------------------------------------------------------------
ACM/IET/ICST International Workshop on Performance and Analysis of Wireless Networks

http://www.cs.adelaide.edu.au/~pawn08/

Held in conjunction with The International Conference on Mobile
Technology, Applications,and Systems (Mobility 2008),Ilan, TAIWAN
September 10-12, 2008
http://www.mobilityconference.org/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTINGUISHED INVITED SPEAKER: "Complementary Coded Cooperative Wireless Networking"

Presented by: Professor Hsiao-Hwa Chen,National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wireless communication technologies have been evolving at a rapid pace
over the last few decades. Different types of wireless communication
networks (BAN, PAN, LAN, etc) are being deployed to address the needs
of all kinds of users. Evaluating the performance of wireless networks
and systems continues to be a critical activity in the design,
implementation, and deployment of emerging wireless technologies.
This workshop is intended to provide an international forum for scientists,
engineers, practitioners, network users to share their experiences, present
original ideas, report on state-of-the-art and in-progress research results
on the empirical performance of wireless communication technologies and
applications.

In contrast to many past and current workshops also covering the topic
of wireless networks, this event places special emphasis on empirical
performance results obtained on actual, physical wireless network
infrastructures, testbeds, networked hosts, and devices.  Performance
results obtained using only modeling, theoretical analysis or simulators
without a strong practical performance component are not appropriate for
this workshop.  We particularly welcome submissions that present experimental
performance evaluations of innovative wireless design/implementation prototype
architectures, systems, and applications. We hope that the contributions to
this workshop will help us better understand many of the practical performance
related issues that are likely to impact next generation wireless networks,
technologies, and applications.

Topics of interest, but are not limited to:
-------------------------------------------

* Performance of wireless media access protocols
* Performance of mobility protocols and architectures
* Performance of mobility management protocols and architectures
* Performance of wireless local area networks, personal area networks
* Performance of broadband wireless access technologies (WiMAX, etc)
* Performance of 3G/4G networks, systems, and protocols
* Performance of sensor networks and devices
* Performance of heterogeneous wireless networks
* Performance of wireless security protocols
* Performance of wireless communication protocols
* Performance of admission control protocols over wireless networks
* Performance optimizations and tuning over wireless networks

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special issue on: Ubiquitous Wireless Mesh Networks
International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS), indexed by SCIE

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117946196/grouphome?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0

Wireless mesh networks are becoming promising communication technologies
for broadband wireless access by providing wireless backbone to mobile
devices over multi-hop wireless communication systems. This emerging
technology has a great potential for ubiquitous wireless network access
anywhere and anytime. A number of wireless networking and communication
technologies that support ubiquitous wireless services and applications
are currently in wide spread use. Wi-Fi and WiMax based wireless mesh
networks are examples of such technologies currently under deployment,
fostering broadband wireless network access and supporting different
communication ranges. While these technologies provide flexible
communication compared to wired networks and single hop communication
models, they are still restricted to the existing wireless backbone
coverage. The convergence of ubiquitous computing and networking with
wireless and mobile networking technologies opens a path to a promising
opportunity for ubiquitous wireless mesh networks and services. Indeed,
this provides a great potential for enabling ubiquitous wireless network
access in the next generation mobile networks. However, due to the
heterogeneous nature of networks, devices, and services, ubiquitous
multi-hop wireless access technology introduces new research challenges in
all areas of network protocol stack, including security, interoperability
and performance challenges. The aim of this special issue is to publish
state-of-the-art research results in the area of ubiquitous wireless mesh
networks, with focus on innovative architectures, networking protocols,
communication models, services and applications. Manuscripts relating to
these issues will be invited from researchers working in these areas
worldwide. Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited, to the
following:
• Ubiquitous and autonomic middleware
• Experiences with the deployment of wireless
mesh networks for ubiquitous access
• Unique challenges and future trends
• Ubiquitous wireless Internet access and services
• Self-organization and self-management
• Wireless mesh network support for ubiquitous computing
• Localization, synchronization, and mobility
• Routing, multicasting and broadcasting protocols

InSPEC 2008 - Call for papers
International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Enterprise Computing
in conjunction with the 12th IEEE International EDOC Conference 2008
Munich, Germany, 15 September 2008

http://ra.crema.unimi.it/inspec2008/

Several technologies have emerged for enterprise computing. Workflows
are now widely adopted by industry and distributed workflows have been
a
topic of research for many years. Today, services are becoming the new
building blocks of enterprise systems and service-oriented
architectures
are combining them in a flexible and novel way. Business applications,
such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management
(SCM) and Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) systems form the core
of enterprise systems. In addition, with wide adoption of e-commerce,
business analytics that exploits multiple, heterogeneous data sources
have become an important field. These technological trends are
accompanied by new business trends due to globalization that involve
innovative forms of collaborations such as virtual organizations.
Further, the increased speed of business requires IT systems to become
more flexible and highly dynamic.

All of these trends bring with them new challenges to the security and
privacy of enterprise computing. We are increasingly relying on IT
systems for our daily business including essential utilities such as
water and power. The traditional forms of computer security need to be
enhanced to address the distributed nature and multiple administrative
domains of conducting business. For example, algorithms for
incorporating the new business practices need to be identified for
access control. Similarly, data confidentiality cannot be provided on
the network layer anymore, it needs to be built into applications and
processes that span across various domains. The enhanced data sharing
calls for innovative algorithms and protocols. Novel cryptographic
techniques need to be developed and established ones evaluated for
industrial adoption. In addition to the security measures, this new
generation of distributed systems requires techniques for ensuring
compliance with regulations on governance and privacy of data,
including
those asserted by government and regulatory agencies.

New concepts for solving these challenges require the combination of
many disciplines from computer science and information systems, such as

cryptography, networking, distributed systems, process modeling and
design, access control, privacy etc. It is the goal of this workshop
to provide a forum for exchange of novel research in these areas among
the experts from academia and industry. Completed work as well as
research in progress is welcome, as we want to foster the exchange of
novel ideas and approaches.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Security and privacy in workflow systems
o Access control architectures
o Modeling of security and privacy constraints
o Automatic security augmentation
o Secure/Trusted virtual domains
* Security and privacy in service-oriented architectures
o Secure composition of services
o Semantic aware security
o Security services
o Trustworthy computation
* Identity Management
o Security and Privacy
o Applications to compliance
o Effective use in business IT systems
* Data sharing
o Cryptographic protection during data sharing
o Privacy-preserving distributed applications
o Efficient multi-party computations
o Privacy and data sharing policies
* Security and privacy in management information systems
o Novel secure applications
o Secure and private data analytics
o Flexible and seamless security architectures
o Secure operating system design
* Collaborations
o Secure and private supply chains
o Security and privacy in virtual organizations
o Private social network and Web 2.0 applications
o Security and privacy in outsourcing

[Mycolleagues] Journal SI CFP

Dear Colleagues,

 

Special Issue of the Telecommunication Systems on Cross Layer Design for Cognitive Networks

 

Theme

Cognitive wireless access networks interact and respond to requests of a specific user by dynamically altering their
topologies and/or operational parameters to enforce regulatory policies and optimize overall network performance. A
cognitive infrastructure consists of intelligent management and reconfigurable elements that can progressively evolve the
policies based on their past actions. A new paradigm is then needed for designing protocols in such environments and can
be characterized by cross-layer designs and adaptation approaches. This special issue will focus on a range of Cross Layer
related topics including QoS, mobility, security, business models, wireless link adaptation and novel services and
applications deployed over Cognitive Networks. In addition, the role played by the IP Multimedia Sub-layer (IMS) in
Cognitive Networks should also be carefully examined and studied.

 

Please refer to the following link for more details. Paper Submission Deadline: May 1, 2008.

SENSEAPP 2008
THIRD IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN
BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2008)
Montreal, Canada
14-17 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. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent.

POSTER/DEMOS: Poster papers are an opportunity to present initial results and obtain feedback on on-going research. We also welcome submissions for demonstrations that showcase original research, practical implementations and realistic applications of wireless sensor networks. Poster/demo papers must be restricted to 2 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references.

Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS. All papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page.

Dueling Space Marines at ThinkGeek

Having trouble viewing this e-mail? View it online here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/edm/20080423.shtml /* Begin ThinkGeek Plug */ The ThinkGeek Newsletter! April 23, 2008 Dear Fellow Sacs of Protoplasm (and assorted nucleotides), Last time we wrote, we unleashed a flurry of tantalizing products upon you. And as expected, the best of you called us out for our shenanigans. But many of you did not, and were fooled on the first of April. You wrote us pained e-mails when you realized that such things as caffeinated children's cereal and a Nintendo pee game weren't even vaporware. You said fun stuff like 'We hates You', 'Why ThinkGeek? Why?', and one of our new favorites, 'I will avenge the honor you just stole from me'. But we're here to make it up to you by introducing the following bona fide, genuine, indubitably-tangible goodies... Dueling Space Marines Copters The Few, the Proud, the Space Marines Everyone knows that Space Marines are the toughest fighters this side of the Quark Nebula... but equip them with blasters and helipacks, and you've got something deadly enough to take out an alien queen with no power-loader required. This Dueling Space Marines Copter Set gets you a set of two mini r/c helicopters with infra-red laser-tag-style battle action. Simply push the shoulder button on the remote to unleash a plasma blast and blow your opponent out of the sky. With stable flying characteristics and forgiving crash dynamics, these diminutive space copters are perfect practice for that impending battle against the betentacled alien planet hopper that awaits when you level up. Create your own epic space battle without the zero gravity baggage: http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/rc/a377/ What's New @ ThinkGeek !! Fabled Optimus Maximus Keyboard has Arrived! Time to take out that second mortgage on your home. With the singing of angels, the fabled Optimus Maximus Keyboard has descended from Russian design studio Art Lebedev like a deus ex machina. As you should know by now, this amazing keyboard features a tiny screen on each key... that's 113 screens in all. Of course all this futuristic technology is going to cost you a pretty penny, but we figure you'll just expense the Optimus and tout its "incredible increased efficiency when using PowerPoint hotkeys" in your expense report summary. We did. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/9836/ Wacky Office Supplies - Finally, Useful Paper Products Offices are full of paper (some even just make paper). Most of the paper is crap; let's be honest. So here are some great paper goods to make the crap more fun and palatable. Whether you need to mark a document as "Someday," organize your takeout menus, send a paper e- mail, consolidate your passwords, keep track of your scheduled breaks, or just carry things around, these office goodies will give you the attitude you need to succeed. Or the attitude to just mock everything; we're not sure which. http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/whereisit.cgi?t=officesupplies Stargate Mirror - See yourself in the event-horizon Untold ages ago, the Ancients built a network of Stargates throughout our local group of galaxies. 39 glyphs and 9 chevrons on these massive rings can dial up nearly 2 trillion possible destinations. Normally these rings are massive - 22 feet wide, and were made from some previously unknown substance. ThinkGeek's got a hold of a convenient shrunken version merely 10 inches across. It won't exactly let you zip through thousands of light-years in an instant, but it works great as a mirror! Perfect for the narcissistic Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis fan! http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/gear/a434/ 2 New Standard Shirts + 2 New Babydolls = 4TW! This week two of our shirts are out of this world, but we'll start off with the two that are a bit closer to home. First, we have an iPhone- inspired Slide to Unlock babydoll and a clone-themed shirt (no federal funding was used in the making of this shirt). For our out-of-this- world set, the Planet Express Babydoll celebrates everyone's favorite intergalactic shipping company, and Cantina Band... well, you'll have to see that one for yourself. http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/whereisit.cgi?t=innoutofthisworld Third Hand Adjustable Parts Holder - Oh yeah!! Having an actual third hand would probably make you the world's best gamer, but it would also look a bit odd. Instead, we suggest The Third Hand Adjustable Parts Holder. It might not be quite as incredible as having an actual third hand, but it's still very useful and always ready to assist. Two adjustable arms with alligator clip jaws hold parts in place and the magnifying lens is perfect for getting a detailed view. Great for holding circuitboards when performing soldering or doing precision repairs or assembly. http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/a4bb/ Uberstix - A Building Toy Revolution If you thought you knew all about building sets, well, UberStix are about to rock your world. Like most building sets, UberStix can build bridges and towers (the big set uses blueprints instead of instructions to build a tower over 5 feet tall!), but UberStix really excel when motion is required. You'll be able to build anything from an UberBoat (which actually floats) to an UberPult (which actually pults). And UberStix connect to Lego blocks and most other building sets, too. What are you waiting for? Get building now. http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/whereisit.cgi?t=uberstix Doctor Who Laser Screwdriver - The Master's Tool All legendary heroes require equally legendary villains. And if those heroes have any gadgets, then you better believe the villains are going to try and one up them. Thus is the case with Doctor Who. When the good Doctor whipped out his tool, the Master whipped out his own. Not only is the Master's Laser Screwdriver longer, it's also gold and silver. It can "fire" a high intensity laser beam, or age its target rapidly using a condensed genetic manipulator. Of course, this one is just a replica... or is it? http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/cubegoodies/a520/ HYMini Portable Power Generator - Go Green Go Juice-Up your electronic toys with green power. You're a geek, you have gadgets, and they all need electricity. You're also an intelligent and responsible citizen of the Earth. How do you balance your need for blinking lights, buttons and dials with the desire to leave less of a carbon footprint? Simply make use of the abundant energy all around you for free! This handy power-gadget generates up to 1200mAh of power from the wind. Boost your power generation with optional solar panels! Attach the generator to your body or to your handlebars to juice-up while you move. Cloudy day with no wind? You can also charge off the wall socket. http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travelpower/a2eb/ Help Keep the Cassette Tape Alive In between the beloved LP record and the now familiar CD, there was another music media format - the cassette tape. It was very popular during the 80's and one thing that definitely made it standout was that, unlike a LP, you could easily record onto a cassette tape. The Stand Alone or Car Cassette MP3 Player is built into a standard cassette tape, letting you use it as either a uniquely old-school-style standalone MP3 player, or with any car cassette or cassette player to play your music. Requires SD media card. http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/a512/ Speed Racer Mini R/C Cars - GO Speed Racer GO! Stage a tiny race to the death with these mini r/c recreations of classic Speed Racer vehicles. Each features a steering wheel controller that matches the vehicle. You've got full control to go forward and reverse and turn left or right... but unfortunately no built in saw blades, rockets or auto jacks. Charge each car by docking it with the remote, then race for up to 7 minutes. We thought that Spritle and Chim- Chim were hiding in the trunk of the Mach 5 but despite our best efforts the trunk didn't open. Where's Trixie when you need her? http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/japanfan/a39b/ Knives Ready to Join the Circus of Pain Whether you have a zeal for throwing steel or you're a cutlery connoisseur, this knife block is just for you. In 1938 the Wheel of Death introduced the spinning target to knife throwing and decades later knife throwing still lives on in the modern day sideshow. And it can live on in your kitchen with the Throwzini Knife Holder. The Throwzini Knife Holder is made from hand-crafted wood and comes complete with a set of five stainless steel knives. Each knife is held securely in its individual protective sheath by magnets. http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/gear/a007/ Nintendo Meets Jack Skellington in Tokyo Of course we have more nifty Japanese products cherry-picked for your virtual perusal. The Legend of Zelda Sound Drop Keychains come in six varieties and each plays a different classic Zelda sound effect. Or give your desk some added protection with the Super Mario Singing Glow Star. It flashes and plays the invincibility music from Super Mario. The Super Mario Glowing Keychains light up your pocket with your favorite Mario mascots while the 3D laser-etched Nightmare Before Xmas Glowing Ghosts rise from their tombs. Whew... http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/whereisit.cgi?t=6786760586 Supersized Earbuds - Not for the Lilliputian Headphones for giants or speakers for you? Through some freakish laboratory accident, ThinkGeek scientists accidentally embiggen'd a shipment of iPod earbuds - expanding them to 500 times normal size. When life gives you citric acid, make a refreshing chilled fruit- beverage, we always say! These desktop speakers may look like humble headphones, but the resemblance is merely superficial. These speakers come with a built-in amplifier and generate up to 3 watts of sound when cranked to 11. You can always tell people you stole them from a cloud giant's back pocket. We won't tell. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/speakers/a254/ Star Wars R2-D2 Speaker Set - Use your droid wisely Since the Star Wars movies R2-D2 seems to have fallen on hard times. You'd think a successful droid would have an easy time finding work... but unfortunately due to his speech impediment and close association with C-3PO he was forced to find work as a pepper grinder, trashcan and even a laundry basket. Now R2 is trying his hand at audio with this nifty speaker set. You get a two-droid set, R2-D2 and his red doppleganger, R2-D1. Each features a flip-up head to reveal a speaker. Don't you want to help out a droid who's down on his luck? http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/japanfan/9815/ Get A Free Pink Lava Lamp - Perfect For Mom's Day Hey folks, Mom's day is creeping up faster than a legion of undead approaching a cerebellum farm. What does that mean for you? It means you need to get something for Mom that she might really enjoy. So please think outside that proverbial three dimensional square thing and make Mom happy this year with a free pink USB lava lamp! Just spend $25 or more (not including the lava lamp, duh), and use the code MOTHERSHIP during checkout to redeem. Hurry, Mom's day is May 11th and unlike most plastic bottles this offer won't last forever. http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/moms/ Quick Blurbs !! Miss Our April Fools Page?

[Mycolleagues] CFP: Special issue on: Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management

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

Call for Papers

Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing, John Wiley & Sons

Special issue on:
Cognitive Radio and Advanced Spectrum Management

Scope:
Conventional fixed spectrum allocation cannot successfully cope with the
scarcity of radio frequency spectrum. Cognitive radio is a novel
technology, which improves the spectrum utilization by seeking and
opportunistically utilizing radio resources in time, frequency and space
domains on a real time basis. The cognitive radio technology poses many
new technical challenges, and overcoming these issues becomes even more
challenging due to non-uniform spectrum and other radio resource
allocation policies, economic considerations, the inherent transmission
impairments of wireless links and user mobility. Cognitive radio
technology advances are based on interdisciplinary research, including
among others: signal processing, information theory, communications
engineering, artificial intelligence, game theory and economics. This
special issue aims at publishing high quality research papers related to
cognitive radio and its applications. Researchers working in these areas
worldwide are invited to contribute. Topics of interest include, but are
NOT limited to:

• Dynamic spectrum sharing techniques and policies
• Interoperability, interference and co-existence of dissimilar wireless
networks
• Spectrum measurements and sensing
• PHY layer design for cognitive radio
• Cognitive protocols and algorithms from PHY to application layers
• Cross-layer cognitive algorithms
• Applied mathematics for cognitive radio
• Application of machine learning and policy processing to cognitive radio
• Security issues
• Business and regulatory aspects of spectrum usage reform
• Software-defined radio
• Implementation, standardization, and certification of cognitive radio
• Cognitive radio prototypes

[Mycolleagues] [CFP] AUTONOMICS 2008

Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this
cfp.

***** AUTONOMICS 2008 *****
2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication
Systems

http://www.autonomics.eu/

September 23-25, 2008, Turin, Italy

In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into
everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding
environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive
context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will
revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and
computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic
large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and
autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful
systems.

The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of
disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication,
distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges
call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive
computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new
converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing
and communication sciences. The Autonomics conference provides an
international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems,
bringing together research communities in communication and computing,
promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines
involved.

Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication,
design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of
autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic,
possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to
submit papers to Autonomics 2008 reporting on original research
related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and
deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract
attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic,
pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:

- Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems
- Models and metrics
- Energy-efficient algorithms
- Programming paradigms
- Middleware for pervasive systems
- Software architectures and toolkits
- Positioning and tracking technologies
- Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems
- Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues
- Location- and context-awareness
- Tools, languages and platforms
- Applications and systems
- Resource, network and service (self) management
- Enabling technologies for pervasive environments

Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest,
clarity, relevance, and correctness.

ICST - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The Third International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CrownCom 2008)

May 15-17, 2008
Holiday Inn Atrium Singapore

http://www.crowncom.org

SCOPE OF CONFERNCE

Today, access to radio spectrum is largely based on the principle of fixed resource allocation. With the proliferation of wireless applications/services in the last couple of decades, in many countries, most of the available spectrum has been allocated. This results in the radio spectrum scarcity which poses a serious problem for the future development of the wireless communications industry. On the other hand, careful studies of the usage pattern reveal that most of the allocated spectrum experiences low utilization. This motivates the concept of dynamic spectrum access via cognitive radio technologies, which allows secondary networks to use unused or under-utilized radio spectrum from primary licensed networks.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

There will be around a hundred papers in various areas of cognitive radio to be presented over the 18 technical sessions. Besides the regular paper presentation, there are also 3 invited keynote speakers and 6 half day tutorial sessions. The details can be found in the conference website.

ICST - CFP: ManyMORE 2008 Workshop on Emerging MANY-core architectures in data Mining and infOrmation REtrieval

================================================================================================
=== ManyMORE 2008
=== Emerging MANY-core architectures in data Mining and infOrmation REtrieval.
=== http://manymore08.isti.cnr.it
===
=== Colocated with InfoScale 2008 [http://www.infoscale.org] - June 6, 2008 Vico Equense, Italy
================================================================================================

At this workshop, we strive to explore the ever-obfuscating landscape of commodity processor hardware. As processor manufacturers race toward commodity systems employing hundreds of cores, researchers are working out methods and techniques to leverage them. Both AMD and Intel have relatively straight-forward quad core processors which can execute SMP algorithms previously written for SMP systems. On the other end of the spectrum, new GPUs have designs which offer vastly increased floating point throughput at the expense of a complex and somewhat restrictive data path. In the middle lies the Cell BDEA, a nine core streaming processor.

Not only do these new architectures advance the parallel programming paradigm, but they also make it mandatory to consider novel approaches in the design of such parallel algorithms. Several natural questions arise. Are extant parallel shared memory algorithms in the IR field positioned to leverage such technologies? Can a streaming, general-purpose processor offer improvements that are not achievable with standard CMPs? What is the impact of software cache management in presence of complex cache hierarchies? Do information retrieval algorithms saturate available off-chip bandwidth? Is there a general-purpose framework which can offer benefits for software memory caches, such as that present in the Cell processor, to reduce average latencies when compared to hardware managed cache?

The goal of this half-day workshop is to offer a venue for researchers to explore the challenge of developing data mining and information retrieval algorithms for emerging commodity parallel hardware. The workshop is open to algorithms, systems, parallel programming tools, software cache managements, and parallel frameworks which attempt to leverage these technologies to execute algorithms for classification, clustering, graph analyses, and other data mining and informataion retrieval tasks.

[EuroSSC 2008] [EuroSSC 2008] Second Call for Papers: 3rd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.

**********************************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS

***** EuroSSC 2008 *****

***** 3rd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context *****

October 29-31, 2008
Zürich, Switzerland

http://www.eurossc.org/

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

The 3rd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context (EuroSSC)
will be held on October 29-31, 2008 in Zurich, Switzerland.

EuroSSC was held before in Enschede (NL) and Kendal (UK).
Building on the success of the last years, EuroSSC 2008 will include
a highly selective single-track program for technical papers,
accompanied by posters, demonstrations, invited speakers, and an
industrial panel.

The vision of ubiquitous computing is that of pervasive but transparent
technology. Smart, context-aware (wireless) sensor and actuator networks
(WS&AN) bring the vision of ubiquitous computing closer to reality.
Emerging smart surroundings, objects and clothing contain networked
sensing and feedback elements to infer user's needs and provide targeted
context-aware assistance. Networked smart sensors recognize context from
raw data and/or capitalize on context to optimize sensing. Higher-level
context is inferred online or within the network by combining and
abstracting information from smart sensors. Together with networked
actuators, context-aware sensing and feedback becomes possible.

This annual conference explores techniques, algorithms, architectures,
protocols, and user aspects underlying context-aware smart surroundings,
and cooperating intelligent objects, and their applications.
Topics discussed include smart sensing, context recognition, and context
processing. Of growing interest are methods and principles for context
abstraction and processing given a Quality of Context that reflects
context uncertainty and accuracy of smart sensors. Principles and
methods for context-aware feedback through actuator networks and
their applications are treated.

EuroSSC 2008 aims to bring together academic researchers and industry
experts with a variety of backgrounds to explore technology, human,
and user aspects:

* *Technology and system aspects*: concerning intelligent sensors,
sensor and actuator networks and information processing for a new
generation of networked devices and intelligent environments.
* *Human and user aspects*: exploring scenarios, applications and
interaction methods for context-aware and pro-active applications
made possible by the diffusion of ambient communication, cooperating
objects, and interaction technologies.

We welcome submission of original and unpublished *technical papers*,
*posters*, and *demonstration papers* covering all areas related to
smart surroundings, context-awareness and networked embedded sensor and
actuator systems.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Distributed smart sensing and context recognition
o Smart sensing: sensors inferring context and context-aware sensing
o Context-aware surroundings and infrastructures
o Distributed objects and wearables inferring context
o Algorithms and architectures for scalable context recognition
o Quality of Context (context uncertainty, unreliable sensing)
* Context processing
o Context reasoning, fusion, transformation, inference
o Context processing given Quality of Context
o Scalable context management and processing architectures
o Information aspects of context-aware sensor&actuator systems
* Context-aware actuators, interaction methods, and human aspects
o Principles and methods for context-aware actuation and feedback
o Distributed context-aware actuators
o Interaction with context-aware objects, wearables and proactive interfaces
o Quality of Actuation
o Symbiosis between autonomic context-aware sensor&actuator systems and users
o Social implications, user-controlled privacy, securing context
* Applications, deployment, test beds and case studies
o Wearable computing and pervasive computing applications
o Real-world experiences with deployed systems
o Applications and case studies related to smart surroundings & intelligent objects
o Integration with the Internet of the Future
o Development tools, deployment principles, and life-cycle support

As data and knowledge volume keep increasing while global means for
information dissemination continue to diversify, new methods, modeling
paradigms, and structures are needed to support efficiently the
mounting scalability requirements.

In the last few years we have seen the proliferation of the use of
heterogeneous distributed systems, ranging from simple Networks of
Workstations, to highly complex Grid Computing environments. Such
computational paradigms have been preferred due to their reduced costs
and inherent scalability, but their efficient usage pose many
challenges in terms of information access, storage and retrieval as
well as in terms of algorithms for efficiently manage, transfer, and
analyze huge volume of data and knowledge.

Grid computing, P2P technology, data and knowledge bases, distributed
information retrieval technology, and networking technology should all
converge to address the scalability concern. Furthermore, with the
advent of emerging computing architectures - e.g. SMTs, GPUs,
Multicores, etc. - the importance of designing techniques explicitly
targeting these systems, is becoming more and more important.

The Third International Conference on Scalable Information Systems
will focus on a wide array of scalability issues and investigate new
approaches to tackle problems arising from the ever-growing size and
complexity of information of all kinds.

The conference invites original technical papers, short papers and posters
that were not previously published and are not currently under review for
publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to:

* Scalable Parallel and Distributed Information Retrieval
* Scalable Grid Information Systems
* Scalable Peer-to-Peer Systems
* Scalable Mobile Systems
* Scalable Web Services
* Scalable Sensor Networks and Systems
* Scalable Systems and Conceptual Modeling
* Scalable Multimedia Information Systems
* Scalability Issues on Emerging Computing Architectures (SMTs, GPUs,
Multicores)
* Scalable Data Mining
* Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems

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/.

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission deadline: extended until April 17th, 6pm,
PDT sharp!

SUBMISSION DETAILS

IEEE P2P'08 is looking for original, unpublished contributions in
all aspects of Peer-to-Peer systems as described in the conference
scope.

Papers can be submitted as regular full papers (max. 10 pages) or
short
papers (2-4 pages) showing early ideas.

All papers will be evaluated through a double-blind review process. It

is important that papers be anonymized -- by removing author names and

affiliations, as well as masking information about projects or
references
that would clearly reveal the authors' identity.

Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-space,
two-column
format using at least 10 point size type. The maximum page limit is 10
pages
(camera-ready versions may be restricted to 8 pages) for full papers
and
2-4 pages for short papers.

The IEEE templates for LaTeX and Microsoft Word, as well as related
information,
can be found at the P2P'08 website.

Paper submission is managed through EasyChair. All papers must be
submitted
in PDF format. You can access the submission system by following the
link given
on the P2P'08 web page.

All papers must be registered with the system by the abstract
submission
deadline. Papers are accepted in PDF format only and must be
uploaded by the paper deadline.

Selected papers will be published in the Springer Journal
"Peer-to-Peer
Networking and Applications". A separate call be made after the
conference.

"The Enterprise Computing Conference"

15-19 September 2008, Munich, Germany
http://www.edocconference.org

--- Call for papers ---

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise
computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of engineering
technologies and methods contributing to enterprise distributed
application systems. EDOC 2008 will be the twelfth event in the series
of conferences, which since 1997 has brought together leading computer
science researchers, IT decision makers, IT architects, solution
designers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to
discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions.
Enterprise computing is based on a wide (and ever growing) range of
methods, models, tools and technologies. The resulting applications also
cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains and industry segments, from
electronic and mobile commerce to real-time business applications for
collaborating enterprises. In recent years, technologies related to
business processes integration, management, execution and monitoring
have become one of the top areas of interest in enterprise computing.
Today, the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing
systems create challenges that range from high-level requirements and
policy modeling to the deployment and maintenance of solutions in and
across customer businesses.
The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view on enterprise
applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches
that can address and relate processes, people and technology. The themes
of openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and
objects, provide a useful and unifying conceptual framework.
The 2008 EDOC conference will welcome high quality scientific
submissions as well as papers on enterprise computing industry
experiences. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address hot
