[Mycolleagues] [CFP] 10th Int'l Conf on Mobile Data Mangement: Systems, Services and Middleware (MDM 2009)

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]

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

The 10th International Conference on

Mobile Data Management (MDM'09): Systems, Services and Middleware

May 18-21 2009, Taipei, Taiwan

http://adslab.cs.nctu.edu.tw/mdm2009/

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

Since the debut in December 1999, the MDM series of conferences has established itself as a prestigious forum for the exchange of innovative and significant research results in mobile data management. The conference provides unique opportunities for researchers, engineers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, and to exchange experiences.

In the past decade, we have witnessed significant advances in wireless communications and mobile technology, along with continuous appearance of versatile mobile gadgets and rapid growth in sensors and actuators. Meanwhile, high-precision outdoor and indoor positioning technology has become mature and available. A global, pervasive computing infrastructure that may profoundly change the way people live and work is emerging. Mobile and pervasive computing and communication are enabled at an unprecedented scale and density.

All these technological developments are expected to bring us a next wave of information revolution and change our society. However, as we move a step closer from mobile computing towards the grand vision of pervasive and ubiquitous computing, a number of challenges need to be overcome, especially when it comes to data-intensive applications: scale, variable and intermittent connectivity, location dependence and context awareness, bandwidth and power consumption, device size limitations, and multimedia delivery across hybrid networks.

Conventional issues in data management have to be reconsidered and reevaluated in this rapidly changing environment. Non-traditional issues including mobility, data semantics, context modeling, broadcast and multicast delivery, data availability, trust and privacy must also be addressed effectively. Additionally, starting from 2009, MDM will extend its scope to cover research issues in mobile systems, services and middleware.

ICST - CFP for WNS2 (Deadline Extended)

The Workshop on ns-2 (WNS2) (http://www.wns2.org/) is a two-day event held in conjunction with VALUETOOLS 2008, the Third International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (http://www.valuetools.org/), during the week of 20-24 October 2008 in Athens, Greece. WNS2 2008 follows the success of the first WNS2 workshop in 2006. A tutorial day on Thursday 23 October is followed by presentation of reviewed papers on Friday 24 October 2008.

The main goals of this second WNS2 workshop are to bring together networking researchers from both academia and industry, to discuss recent advances, to identify future directions in network simulation, and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. The workshop aims to emphasise the future evolution of ns-2, now that ns-3 is under active development, and its extension in novel research areas and networking technologies and scenarios.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

This workshop focuses on the ns simulator in itself, and in improving simulation. We seek original contributions that go beyond the use of
ns-2 "as is" for networking scenarios, and which try to make ns do something new and different. Topics of interest for the Workshop include, but are not limited to:

Structural developments/enhancements to the ns-2 simulator itself:
- Presentation/evaluation of new features/architectures under development for ns-3.
- Dynamic management of libraries / ns-Modules.
- Large-scale network simulation and model-based simulation approaches.
- Development of parallel and distributed versions of ns. Use of virtualization with ns.
- Integration of simulation and emulation.
- Post-processing tools, including GUIs for statistical analysis and visualization of simulation results.

Simulator use and validation of simulation accuracy:
- Validation of ns behaviour with experimentation and real data from implementations.
- Comparative studies of ns and other network simulation tools, both commercial and freely available.
- Environments and methodologies: the best practices, third-party code, helper scripts, and frameworks that serious users of ns recommend to get things done.

New simulation models and features:
- Wireless channel modelling.
- Frameworks for cross-layer support.
- Mobile and wireless networks, 3G/4G networks, WLANs, WPANs, WiMAX, Mesh networks...
- Delay-tolerant networking.
- Congestion-control and transport-layer issues in long-fat networks.
- Mobility: network mobility (NEMO), physical node mobility (e.g., group mobility models).
- Sensor and actuator networks (wireless, underwater, underground).
- Peer-to-peer systems.
- Network coding: data dissemination, encoding/decoding suites.
- Grid computing.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission of research papers due: June 9, 2008 Notification of paper acceptance: July 1, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers due: August 1, 2008 Paper presentation date: October 24, 2008

AlPACa 2008

Workshop on
Applications of Private and Anonymous Communications
(in conjunction with Securecomm 2008)

September 22, 2008, Istanbul, Turkey

http://www.alpaca-workshop.org/
-----------------------------------------------------

During the last few decades we have seen a tremendous
number of activities (and publications) regarding
anonymous communication systems, how to make them
better, various attacks, defenses etc. Even though
the implicit assumption of any anonymity work is to
have it applied in a real world, few of those
activities focus on actual practical systems, and the
questions remain if we are doing research on the right
thing? how far we are from dealing with the real
issues? and are the goals that we try to achieve with
these systems those that we are optimizing for?

This workshop solicits papers concerned with what
happens on top of and around the anonymizing layer,
with a view of how this affects the anonymity system.
That is in some ways the user's, operator's, ISP's,
etc. view of and experience with anonymity systems and
how anonymity systems need to be improved.

Topics of interest are (but not limited to):

* Use cases for anonymous communication systems
* Practical experiences with anonymous
communication systems
* Case studies
* Novel applications of anonymous communication
systems
* Economic incentives / business models for using
or deploying anonymous communication systems
* Performance and evaluation tools of real systems
* Usability
* Feedback from real users
* Legal issues with running anonymous communication
systems

Important dates:
----------------
* Submission deadline: 8 June 2008
* Notification date: 14 July 2008
* Camera ready submission deadline: 10 August 2008
* Workshop: 22 September 2008

Submission instructions:
------------------------

Only PDF formats are accepted for all submissions. Paper
submissions must not exceed 8 pages in IEEE conference
style, two-column format, including the bibliography and
appendices. The Authors' kit can be found on the workshop
webpage.

All submitted papers will be judged based on
their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the
identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers.
Authors' names must not appear in the paper. Submitted
papers must not be currently under review for any other
publication. Please direct any questions about the paper

SCOPE and OVERVIEW:

Wireless networks, including WLAN, WiMax, wireless personal networks, ad
hoc, sensor, along with pervasive networks, have witnessed their fastest
growth period over the last few years and have become increasingly
complex. Nonetheless, performance evaluation and analysis of wireless
networks have been conducted mostly through software simulations (e.g.,
using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Recently, research efforts have been
directed towards measuring real-world commercial and experimental
networks; constructing models based on real-world data and using
prototypes to evaluate solutions more realistically and comprehensively
and to validate assumptions and conclusions that are reached via
simulation experiments.

Performance monitoring, measurement, and evaluation of heterogeneous
wired and wireless mobile networks pose a new set of unique challenges
due to the particular inherent properties of these systems and due to
the characteristics of the wireless transmission medium.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists, engineers, and
practitioners in order to share and exchange their experiences, discuss
challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all
aspects of performance measurements, monitoring, and evaluation of
heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks, including, wireless ad
hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 4th IEEE/IFIP International Symposium on Network Centric Ubiquitous Systems (NCUS 2008) (http://www.cs.uc.edu/~qzeng/NCUS2008/NCUS2008.html)
to be held in conjunction with The 2008 IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (IEEE/IFIP EUC 2008: http://epcc.sjtu.edu.cn/euc2008)
Shanghai, China, December 17-20, 2008

Historically, ubiquitous systems have been highly engineered for a particular task, with no spontaneous interactions among devices. Recent advances in wireless communication and sensor and actuator technologies have given rise to a new genre of ubiquitous systems. This new genre is characterized as self-organizing, critically resource constrained, and network centric. The fundamental change is communication: numerous small devices operating collectively, rather than as standalone devices, form a dynamic ambient network that connects each device to more powerful networks and processing resources.

NCUS'08 is the successor of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd IFIP International Symposium on Network Centric Ubiquitous Systems (NCUS'05,'06 and '07), held in Nagasaki Japan, Seoul Korea, and Taipei Taiwan, respectively. It offers a premier international forum for researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia, to discuss hot topics and emerging areas, to share recent progress and latest results, and to promote cutting-edge research and future cooperation on ubiquitous systems and ubiquitous networking.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following:
1. Software engineering technologies and formal techniques for modeling, designing, and testing network centric ubiquitous systems
2. Hardware architectures, communication protocols, human-computer interaction and other enabling technologies for network centric ubiquitous systems
3. Theoretical foundations and algorithms for ubiquitous networking
4. Context awareness, adaptation and management in network centric ubiquitous systems
5. Peer-to-peer and overlay networks, systems, and applications in ubiquitous systems
6. Mobile networks, sensor networks, unmanned air and ground vehicle networks, and applications
7. Web services and middleware support for ubiquitous networking
8. Security and trust management in ubiquitous networks, systems, and applications
9. Energy management and harvesting for network centric ubiquitous systems
10. Simulation, performance evaluation, experiments, and trials of ubiquitous networks and applications
11. Comprehensive survey on timely topics

Call for Papers:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop on Wireless and Unstructured Networking (WAHOC'08): "Taming the
Stray"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part of International Multiconference on Computer Science and Information
Technology (http://www.imcsit.org/): IMCSIT'08 Wisla, Poland, October
20-22, 2008

Sponsored by the Polish Information Processing Society in cooperation with:
Poland Chapter of the IEEE Computer Society
Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences
Institute of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences
Institute of Innovation and Information Society (Poland)
Associatión the Técnicos de Informática (Spain)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As network customers, operators, and designers strive to bring more
productivity and enjoyment into increasingly diverse areas of our lives,
be it business and commerce, health services, crisis management, content
distribution, or multiuser games, mobile communications and ubiquitous
computing are becoming the leading interactivity paradigm. While being
thus "condemned" to succeed, they raise at least two main challenges.
One is the multitude of standards specifying reliable high-speed
wireless networking solutions, and the multitude of heterogeneous
technologies that follow (IEEE 802.11, 802.15 and 802.16, Bluetooth,
MANET, SANet, Mobile IP, and others). Making them coexist, let alone
cooperate, requires integration of many diverse areas of research, such
as internetworking, distributed computing, signal processing, networking
theory, and economics. Can we venture to predict the outcome? Can we
make a case for particular scenarios? Another challenge is the dualism
of fixed-infrastructure vs. ad hoc networks. The latter, despite their
20-year presence in academic literature, have been remarkably slow to
materialize in the real world. Attempts to blame this on our natural
distrust towards systems under distributed control and lacking clear
ownership do not sound convincing: P2P technology does away with central
administration, yet it has become successful to the point of
embarrassing network operators and intellectual property managers. Can
ad hoc networks repeat the success of P2P without becoming an
embarrassment? The purpose of this workshop is to address questions like
the above, to look at wireless networking from a broader perspective, to
present ideas and share experience from their verification.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The non-exclusive list of topics

- routing and location protocols
- MAC schemes
- modeling methodologies for wireless channels
- cross-layer issues
- anonymity and security
- performance studies and comparisons
- mobile applications
- mobility support, handover mechanisms, mobility brokers (MB), MIP
- self-organization
- residential access systems,
- interworking between ad-hoc and fixed/mobile networks
- virtual networks
- ad-hoc networks as part of urban mesh,
- content distribution and multicast overlay
- pricing and incentive arbitration
- software supporting networked applications
- case studies

The [0]IQ League maintain a "60 Second IQ Test" online. Interestingly,
they correlate the results of this test with a number of statistics
available from their server logs. Along with the geographical
distinctions like city and country, the referrer and OS/Browser
user-agent strings are also mined, to determine the [1]Smartest Browser
and OS. Cutting to the chase, the very smartest is [2]Firefox on Unknown
(which internal evidence suggests is MacOS-Intel), and the dumbest, as of
this writing, is [3]IE on WinNT. Quick! Test out and move the bars on the
pretty graph! Can we make Slashdot.org the "[4]Smartest Website in the
World?" (It's curretly number 2 behind ScienceBlogs.com.)

downloading Al-Qaida material from a US government website. The material

to join the US and the EU in an [1]Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
The agreement would give border guards the power to search iPods and
cellphones for illegal downloads, as well as to force ISPs to hand over
customer information without a warrant. David Fewer, staff counsel at the
University of Ottawa's Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest
Clinic, characterizes ACTA this way: 'If Hollywood could order

esocid writes "Researchers at TU Delft (Netherlands) and the FOM
(Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter) have found irrefutable
proof that the so-called [0]avalanche effect by electrons occurs in
specific semiconducting crystals of nanometer dimensions. This physical
effect could pave the way for cheap, high-output solar cells. Solar cells
currently have relatively low output, typically 15%, and high
manufacturing costs. One possible improvement could derive from a new
type of solar cell made of semiconducting nanocrystals and could
theoretically lead to a maximum output of 44%, with the added benefit of
reducing manufacturing costs. In conventional solar cells, one photon can
release precisely one electron. However, in some semiconducting
nanocrystals, one photon can release two or three electrons, hence the
term 'avalanche effect.' This effect was first measured by researchers at
the Los Alamos National Laboratories in 2004, and since then the
scientific world had raised doubts about the value of these measurements.
This current research does in fact demonstrate that the avalanche effect
can occur."

the Eee, though it's likely that Windows XP will be available also. But
given the probable choice for CPU, Atom, ithe Ebox is unlikely to allow
for the use of Vista, unless you're something of a masochist. It's
expected to retail for $200-$300."

past few weeks and I know that I want to run Linux on it. However, every
time I look at (for example) Dell's computers that are preloaded with
Linux, the question pops into my head: 'Why should I buy a PC preloaded
with Linux?' They are more expensive, and it's not hard just to reformat
the PC with Linux. I hate paying the Microsoft Tax as much as anybody
else, but if paying that 'tax' allows companies to reduce my price by
bundling with my PC products that I will never use, why wouldn't I just
buy a Windows-loaded PC and reformat?"

The exterior design is pretty damn sexy and is built around (of course)
VIA's own CPU and chipset products and can be equipped with WiMAX and/or
3G networking like HSDPA or W-CDMA. What is really impressive is that the
device can run versions of Windows Vista or XP, Ubuntu, Suse or gOS."

700,000 web sites, is encouraging its customers to use Google's Gmail for
their e-mail, rather than the DreamHost mail servers. DreamHost is
continuing to support all its existing e-mail offerings, but said in a
blog post that email is "just [1]not something people are looking for
from us, and it's something the big free email providers like Yahoo,
Microsoft, and Google can do better." DreamHost addresses a [2]question
about Google that has vexed many web hosting companies: is Google a
useful partner, or a competitor that intends to make "traditional" web
hosting companies obsolete? In this case, partnering with Google offers
DreamHost a way to offload many of its trouble tickets, reducing the
support overhead. Is Google starting to make web hosts less necessary?"

This news was [1]discussed here in December, but details on the crater

and Giuseppe Longo (the same team in Bologna, Italy that made news in
December) has a horde of new details on the supposed crater. The team
visited Lake Cheko complete with their own catamaran and completed
ground-penetrating radar maps, side-scanning sonar images, aerial images,
and some sample collection of Lake Cheko. Intriguingly, they also imaged
an object under the sediment that may be a fragment of the impacting
body. Their paper (PDF) includes [2]a lot more details including images,
side-scanning sonar image, a 3-D view of the lake, a morphobathymetric
map. It's an interesting read, these dudes are good. They plan to return
this summer and drill the core if weather permits, hopefully answering
the question once and for all." The same team also has [3]a more
discursive article in the current Scientific American that includes some
detail on the working conditions in the Siberian summer. Think:
mosquitos.

An anonymous reader writes "InfoQ has an interesting writeup of Dr. Cliff
Click's work on developing [0]highly concurrent data structures for use
on the Azul hardware (which is in production with 768 cores), supporting
700+ hardware threads in Java. The basic idea is to use a new coding
style that involves a large array to hold the data (allowing scalable
parallel access), atomic update on those array words, and a finite-state
machine built from the atomic update and logically replicated per array
word. The end result is a coding style that has allowed Click to build
2.5 lock-free data structures that also scale remarkably well."

[0]I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "A TJX employee was
[1]fired for an online post mentioning that TJX hasn't beefed up security
after the recent, massive data breach that saw [2]94 million credit card
numbers copied by criminals and money from their accounts stolen. The
employee mentioned that, at first, their usernames were the same as their
passwords. After they required stronger passwords, some managers
complained, so they 'compromised' by allowing blank passwords. The
whistleblower said he discussed his concerns with management, but that it
was like talking to a brick wall. In spite of the weak internal security,
TJX now has a firm that scours the internet to find bad things posted
about them, which is how they found the message and fired him for it. Too
bad they don't appear to have hired anyone to beef up operational
security or to convince people to use strong passwords."

An anonymous reader notes that someone has [0]applied the game Six
Degrees of Kevin Bacon to the articles in Wikipedia. Instead of the
relation being "in the same film," he used "is linked to by." From the
blog post: "We'll call the 'Kevin Bacon number' from one article to
another the 'distance' between them. It's then possible to work out the
'closeness' of an article in Wikipedia as its average distance to any
other article. I wanted to find the centre of Wikipedia, that is, the
article that is closest to all other articles (has minimum [distance])."

[0]coondoggie writes "Until today, most Internet-based real-estate
brokers were considered second-class citizens, and their clients were
left in the cold. But perhaps that will change with today's news that the
Department of Justice has reached a [1]proposed settlement with the
National Association of Realtors that requires NAR to let Internet-based
residential real estate brokers compete with traditional brokers. NAR has
agreed to be bound by a 10-year settlement, under whose terms NAR will
repeal its anticompetitive policies and require affiliated multiple
listing services to repeal their rules that were based on these
policies." Here's the [2]whole settlement document on the DoJ's site.

[Mycolleagues] NPSec 2008: Call for Papers

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.]

CALL FOR PAPERS
4th workshop on Secure Network Protocols (NPSec 2008)
October 19, 2008

In conjunction with the 16th IEEE International Conference on
Network Protocols (ICNP), Orlando, Florida, October 19-22, 2008

URL: http://www.netsec.colostate.edu/npsec08/

Scope:

The 4th workshop on Secure Network Protocols (NPSec 2008) is
a one-day event held in conjunction with ICNP 2008. NPSec
focuses on two general areas. The first focus is on the
development and analysis of secure or hardened protocols for
the operation (establishment and maintenance) of network
infrastructure, including such targets as secure multidomain,
ad hoc, sensor or overlay networks, or other related target
areas. This can include new protocols, enhancements to
existing protocols, protocol analysis, and new attacks on
existing protocols. The second focus is on employing such
secure network protocols to create or enhance network
applications. Examples include collaborative firewalls,
incentive strategies for multiparty networks, and deployment
strategies to enable secure applications.

NPSec 2008 particularly welcomes new ideas on security in the
context of future Internet design, such as architectural
considerations for future Internet security and new primitives
for supporting secure network protocol and application design.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

1. security in future Internet architectures
- role of security in future architectures
- integrating security into future protocols and applications
2. secure and/or resilient network protocols, e.g.:
- internetworking/routing
- MANETs
- LANs and WLANs
- mobile/cellular data networks
- p2p and other overlay networks
- federated trust systems
- sensor networks
3. vulnerabilities of existing protocols and applications
(both theoretical and case studies), including attacks
4. key distribution/management
5. intrusion detection and response
6. secure protocol configuration and deployment

Important Dates:

Abstract submission: June 6, 2008
Paper submission: June 13, 2008
Notification of acceptance: August 6, 2008
Camera ready version: September 5, 2008
Workshop Date: October 19, 2008

Submission Information:

Submitted papers must be no longer than six (6) pages
in double-column format with standard margins (i.e.,
at least one inch all around) and at least a 10 point
font. This length includes everything: figures, tables,
references, appendices and so forth. Longer submissions
will not be reviewed. More information can be found

ICST - CFP: SOSOC 2008 - Security in Opportunistic and Social Networks

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]

************************************************************
* *
* SOSOC 2008 *
* *
* International Workshop on *
* Security in Opportunistic and SOCial Networks *

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

Call for papers
*****************

Opportunistic Networks are considered as an evolution of the Mobile
Ad-hoc Networking paradigm, in which the assumption of an existing
end-to-end connectivity is relaxed. The evolving topologies are expected
to resemble the actual social networks of the communicating users and
information on their characteristics can be a powerful aid for any
network operation. Online services that assist social networks (facebook,
linkedin, xing, etc.) in consequence are able to provide additional
information on contacts and their relations. The lack of end-to-end
connectivity and the use of personal information for the networking
operations raise entirely new privacy concerns and require new reflections
on security problems.

The aim of this workshop is to encompass research advances in all areas of
security, trust and privacy in Opportunistic and Social Networks.

=============================
Topics of Interest
=============================

- new aspects of trust
- privacy concerns
- availability and resilience
- community based secure communication
- data confidentiality, data integrity
- anonymity, pseudonymity
- key management
- secure bootstrapping
- security issues in forwarding, routing
- security aspects regarding cooperation
- reputation systems for opportunistic/social networks
- new security issues, new attack paradigms
- new requirements for software security
- malware analysis in opportunistic/social networks

=============================
Important Dates

Submission instructions
=============================

Submission website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sosoc2008

Submissions must be made in PDF to the submission website. Paper
submissions must not exceed 10 pages in ACM proceedings style.

[Mycolleagues] [CFP] AASN'2008: First Call for Paper

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.]

CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Workshop on Autonomous and Automated Sensor Networks, AASN

http://sigappfr.acm.org/cstst08/workshops/aasn/

To be held in conjunction with
The 5th IEEE International Conference on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology
(CSTST'2008), Cergy-Pontoise/Paris, FRANCE, October 26-30, 2008.

Summary and Topics:
Thanks to technological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an increasing
attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many applications, such as environmental
monitoring, military surveillance, and scientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating
works in addressing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols, architecture,
operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent needs to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous
requirements are highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing
and manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These techniques particularly
require sharing the decision-making process over hundreds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors.
The achievement of this goal is still facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide
these spatially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in performing the right
action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current requirements while increasing the lifetime
of the entire sensor network and guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating
the sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especially that commonly sensing
devices are operating unattended in remote and hostile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible.
Since predefined and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networked sensing devices,
automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in addressing upcoming developments that target
multi-services, collaborating, or competing sensor networks.

To reach these goals, the first International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is
seeking novel ideas in the following topics that include, but not limited to:

- Heterogeneous sensor networks
- Multi-service sensor networks
- Sensor network control
- Automated sensing activities
- Competing sensors or sensor networks
- Collaborating sensors and sensor networks
- Semantic-based management of sensor networks
- Resource management in sensor networks
- Context awareness in sensor networks
- Self-organization and self-adaptation in sensor networks
- New architectures and protocols for sensor networks
- New sensor network applications
- Sensor network maintenance
- Intelligent sensors and sensor networks
- Data management in sensor networks
- Data and resource sharing in sensor networks

AIMS AND TOPICS
Internet access is undergoing a fundamental change. More powerful
devices and lower cost radio technologies are facilitating the
transition to the Mobile Internet in which users can access a diverse
range of services and applications anytime, anywhere. However, the
huge increase in demand that this brings cannot easily be met by
current radio access systems. Hence, there is a need for more
powerful, more efficient, higher speed, lower cost radio technologies
for Broadband Wireless Access.
There is much energy within the community to develop more advanced
BWA technologies - activities span the wireless domain, ranging from
more advanced antenna technologies to co-operative relays to mesh
networking systems and many more: future networks will likely employ
some mix of these different mechanisms. We anticipate that this 4th
workshop will continue the successful series, providing a forum for
new research results and reports on practical experience working with
innovative technologies in the domain of Broadband Wireless Access.
The workshop, then, is soliciting contributions including but not
limited to topics listed below.

- Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
- Cellular broadband technologies, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, IMT Advanced,...
- Incumbent and Future BWA Technologies, 802.16x, 802.20, etc
- Wireless Mesh Networks for Broadband Access
- QoS in Mobile and BWA Networks
- Intercell Interference Coordination, Power Control and Load Balancing
- Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
- Physical and Data Link Layer Issues
- Characterization, Modeling of BWA Traffic, Mobility and Channels
- Large-scale and Heterogeneous BWA Evaluations
- Spectrum Management
- Interoperability Aspects (fixed/mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
- Vertical and Horizontal Integration
- Micro and Macromobility Management
- Cross-layer Optimisation Approaches

[CFP] EuroSSC 2008: 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
Zurich, 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

SUBMISSION:

(VALUETOOLS'08http://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.

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
* Performance of heterogeneous wired/wireless network testbeds
* Performance of wireless applications
* Performance measurement tools and techniques for wireless networks

In line 1887 of source file miniport.c, if changing the
dwMMDMMSupportType from MMDMM_SUPPORT_XDDM_PARITY to
MMDMM_SUPPORT_TEST, it seems that the built driver will light only
one of two pixel in VGA monitor and the rest be black. If changed
back to MMDMM_SUPPORT_XDDM_PARITY, then everything will be OK. I am
using a Radeon 8500 with 64M DDR installed.

Anyone encounter such probelm?

DDK provide VidPN test in this way?

This question has been asked and answered many times in the last few months.
I guess there is someone out there hiring companies to implement an
anti-copy driver. Maybe they are offering a large completion payment with
nothing until it is done. The answer is NO. Until you learn how Windows
works, you cannot prevent copying and you can't understand why it cannot be
done. I can think of only one solution for Windows and it is not practical.
The other choice is to write your own OS that has different rules.

Put the data to be protected in a directory. Encrypt that directory's files
with a symmetric key or multiple keys. Store those keys on a SmartCard
protected with the public key used to encrypt them before they are added.
Issue a CD/DVD/USB drive with the files on it, a SmartCard reader, & the
fully initialized SmartCard. Write an application that permits the files to
be viewed, but does not respond to any key strokes that might copy the data
in the viewer. That still won't protect against cameras or screen capture
programs, but it is about as good as it can be done. You need a separate
encryption key for each copy of the files to provide post compromise
security. If you try and use normal programs such as Notepad, Wordpad, or
Word the data must be placed in plaintext in the buffers where another
driver can obtain access easily. The Windows filesystems just don't work if
encryption is done closer to the application unless it is within the
application's context as part of its code or an injected DLL.

Hello David,

Up to the extent I agree with you that this task can not be done
unless we know how Windows works with these events at low level.

I also do agree as am currently working on bit similer system, now
requirements dose says that copy protection for basic copy commands
need to be ignored/blocked when such restricted data are concerned.

If you have / come accross to know about any thing that can help me
then please do post it, so as I can work arround & complete my task.

And the answer is there are no basic copy commands. All you are going to
see are reads and writes, there is no concept of copying at the kernel
level. So unless you want to make a file so it cannot be read (which makes
it rather useless) you cannot stop copying. Go to http://www.osronline.com/

and join the NTFSD newsgroup, and then start reading the archives, this has
been discussed way too many times.

No can do. Sorry. If you can read the file, you can copy it. If you cannot
read the file, you cannot copy it, then the file just like it does not exist
for you, you can't see its contents. No File, no copy. Have file, can read
it, can copy. So simple.

The best thing you can do is to disable write to removeable devices, or to
disable them altogether. Search MS Kludge^H^H^H^H^^HKnowlegebase for that.
And only enable launch of approved applications.

Customers who order such kind of things again and again just don't
understand it. They just ask to implement wrong solution for a problem.

While you can't restrict copying, you can control, what processes are
allowed to open the file and so restrict copying.

It was because of Windows failing to install drivers from Z:\ mapped to
VMWare's \\.host. Once copied to a local drive, the INF file is displayed as
signed with Authenticode and installs.

Thank you Gianluca.

The problem of the INF file not being recognized was because of Windows
failing to install drivers from Z:\ mapped to VMWare's \\.host. Once copied
to a local drive, the INF file is displayed as signed with Authenticode and
installs. It took hours to figure out what was happening.

However, the driver still won't start. I will post an updated question
separately.

Cheers

Well, it does not seem to be the case. During installation, my tape driver
is displayed as signed by my company.

Once installed, the driver fails to start - "Windows cannot load the device
driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing (Code 39)".

The CodeIntegrity log displays "3004 Windows is unable to verify the image
integrity of the file
\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Windows\System32\drivers\MyDriver.sys because file
hash could not be found on the system. A recent hardware or software change
might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that
might be malicious software from an unknown source."

When I do "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON" and restart, the driver starts up
OK.

When I do "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF" and restart, the driver fails to
start.

In both cases, Windows displays "Digital signer: My Company" in the driver's
properties.

I sign the CAT file with:
c:\winddk\6001.18001\BIN\catalog\signtool.exe sign /ac
c:\CrossCertificates\MSCV-VSClass3.cer /du "http://www.company.com"
/n "Company Name" /t "http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll"
MyDriver.cat

I verify the signature with:
SignTool verify /kp /v /c MyDriver.cat MyDriver.sys

It looks like it wants ONLY WHQL-signed drivers.

I also suspect that the cross-certificate doesn't get embedded into the
signature. SignTool produces a file of the same length regardless of whether
the "/ac MSCV-VSClass3.cer" option is specified or not. How do I verify the
cross-certificate is there?

Thanks,

Andrew

Try signing the binary itself instead of the CAT file.

It doesn't help to sign the binaries.

I can't see "Microsoft Root" in the signature. It looks like the
cross-certificate is not embedded. /ac is definitely processed by SignTool
because it fails when I pass an invalid file. I checked that the thumbprint
of the Verisign root certificate matches the cross-certificate. I use a
"Verisign Class 3 Code Signing 2004 CA" certificate issued in March this
year. I tried SignTool from recent both DDK and WDK.

Thanks

Hi,

Can any one redirect me to any Knowledge Base for the same.

http://groups.google.co.in/group/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/browse_thread/thread/33a19660fa2ff339/412401802f45f23d?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=monitor+wake+up#412401802f45f23d

My usb driver supports remote wake up. When I go into stand by mode,
and fore the remote wake up, the device come back up, but the monitor
stays in a suspended state. The only way to "wake up" the monitor is
to push a key on the keyboard?

It seems like windows (XP) is treating suspend like this:

1) Issue Suspend to Driver
2) Power off Monitor

---WAIT 4 REMOTE WAKEUP---

3) Remote wake up issued from microcontroller firmware
4) Driver receives event, and set's power back to D0.
5) Device in on, but monitor is in suspend state.

---PRESS KEY ON KEYBOARD---

6) Monitor wakes back up and displays desktop.

Thanks and Regards,
Neo

I have a legacy driver.
In few systems I see my driver entry in Non plug and play section in device

But few systems doesnt have my driver in plug and play section.
In registry also i dont see Root\LEGACY_MYDRIVER\0000 entry in enum section
of my driver.
ie, HKLMcurrentcontrolset\services\mydriver\enum\
I believe that if only this entry is present in the registry I can see the
driver in non plug and play section in device manager.
who puts this entry in registry.
I see my driver appears in only few systems.
where can I check???

Hello, I've posted this question to different forums, including "code

USB instrument that uses FT232 USB chip with its own supplied drivers. I want
when I plug in the USB cord, an icon to be displayed in system tray that
shows a text tip message when mouse is over it. and when I unplug the cord
the icon goes away. How should I do this? I suspect that I have to edit .inf
files of driver but I don't know how. can anybody help me or give me a tip.
thanks a lot!

Hi,

if your driver does not have a way to communicate to some
sort of user mode interface/application, then you have to write
a backgrounding application that receives Device Notifications
and ceates on device arrival a notification icon in the tray. The
Windows API comes with two API Functions that will help
you here: Shell_NotifyIcon(...) and RegisterDeviceNotification(...)
You also could write some Kernel Code, but if this is the only
requirement, displaying an icon in the tray and a tooltip,...this
usermode approach is sufficient,...

These are your friends:

RegisterDeviceNotification(...)
Shell_NotifyIcon(...)

See MSDN for more Information,...

There are tons of examples out there,...

Regards

Kerem

Thanks a million time kerem!
you absolutely helped! I have developed a user mode application with MFC
that manages to communicate with instrument. So can I change text of tip
message from this program ? what function should I look for to change
properties of tray icon.

thanks a lot again
