[Tccc] AASN'2009: Deadline extended to August 14, 2009

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

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

Due to several requests, the submission deadline has been extended to August
14, 2009

http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/09/workshops/AASN09/AASN_workshop.html

To be held in conjunction with
The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital
EcoSystems (MEDES 2009)
Lyon - France, October 27-30, 2009.


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 second 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
- Sensor network maintenance
- Intelligent sensors and sensor networks
- Data management in sensor networks
- Data and resource sharing in sensor networks
- Quality of Service in sensor networks
- Sustainable sensor networks
- Decision Support Systems for Sensor Networks
- Virtual Environment for Supporting Sensor Networks
- Sensor Networks on the Web
- Sensor networks for a sustainable development
- Autonomous/Intelligent social sensor networks
- Autonomous/Intelligent sensor networks for supporting social networks
- Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent management of spatial
resources
- Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent risk management
- New sensor network applications


Important Dates:
Submission deadline (extended): August 14th 2009
Acceptance notification: September 5th 2009
Camera ready papers: September 15th 2009

[Tccc] ReArch'09 Workshop (co-located with ACM CoNEXT) - deadline extended to August 13

ReArch'09 Workshop - Re-Architecting the Internet
Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009
Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/rearch

Extended Submission Deadline: August 13, 2009
Submit at: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673


The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in
allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this
architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency
as new classes of applications, business models, security
mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management
requirements give rise to point solutions that extend the
architecture without regards to its original design principles.

Although these developments are necessary in the short term to
allow the Internet to continue to operate under the present
economical, technical and social conditions, in combination,
they have significantly reduced the potential for longer-term
evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of
flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet
nodes grows by another order of magnitude.

Several substantial Future Internet initiatives are underway in
Europe, the Americas and Asia, and the vendor and network
operator communities are also actively discussing the
limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its
potential evolution. The first solution proposals in this space
have already started to be analyzed.

ReArch'09 - the second instance of this workshop since its very
successful debut at CONeXT 2008 - will discuss the underlying
problems of the Internet architecture and protocols and debate
how we might fix them in a way that regains us the original
architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet for another
30+ years.

This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that
analyze and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture,
including specific improvements to current Internet protocols,
especially at the internetworking, transport and application
layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the
existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking
architectures.


Topics

ReArch'09 covers all aspects related to the current and future
Internet architecture including, but not limited to, the
following impact:

* New networking paradigms
* New business models
* New routing architectures
* New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms
* Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify
architectural limitations
* New architecture proposals and their implications for
research and operations
* New protocols to address specific architectural limitations
* Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet
and the architecture itself
* Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the
conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture
* Principles of evolving future architectures
* Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and
deployability

Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage
are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results
or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may
include position papers that point out new directions and
attempt to stimulate discussion; position papers should be
clearly marked as such. Submission must be original and not
already be published or submitted for publication elsewhere.
The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM
Digital Library.


Submissions

Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including
all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be
formatted according to the standard ACM double column format
*except* that *all* text must use a font size of 10 points or
larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review
process is single-blind. Submit papers via EDAS at
http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673

Submission Deadline: August 6, 2009
Notification Deadline: September 10, 2009
Camera Ready Deadline: October 1, 2009
ReArch'09: December 1, 2009

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

Purpose of this workshop
The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has
spawned many interesting applications that were
unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many
challenges for the communication and networking
community to address. On one hand we see present
day mobile devices are capable of providing many
services that required several devices before.
For example, most cell phones nowadays provide
high speed data access, still and video cameras,
PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device
sophistication and service offerings, including
wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the
way we communicate. With increased user mobility
and user's desire to always be connected, we have
seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks
(PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These
networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully
for individual users and their requirements. On
the other hand the Internet has changed our way
of interacting dramatically. These two major
communication areas are having an in-depth
influence on the way we communicate; it is worth
considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle.
Personalized Networks is one such future oriented
concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN,
sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks,
vehicular networks and the Internet together onto
one platform under one broader vision of future
(4G) communication networks. The idea is to
enable continuous and seamless connectivity of
all the personal devices of a user, information
sources, and network enabled controllers in an
unobtrusive way, regardless of where these
entities are located - be they local or remote.
It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with
their associated accessories somewhere on the
Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet
presence that has become a prominent concept in
the last decade. This advanced overlay network is
strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc,
intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly
virtual intelligent personal assistant to its
owner. It is a personal distributed environment,
global in scope that can co-exist on the present
day Internet with its active participation. Such
a platform enables many new applications,
especially for users with rapidly changing
communication demands that often operate in
various contexts simultaneously. It can also
provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today.
There are numerous issues which are challenging
to the communication network community in
realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them
arise from the lack of current technology to deal
in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile
nature of the entities, the unpredictable
topology of the network, the power constraints of
the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the
networking and link-level technologies.
Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields
new architectures, protocols, algorithms,
platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of
addressing, routing, resource and service
discovery, the self-organization of the network,
the localization of the devices/person, the
complex security and privacy requirements, the
offering of context aware services and service
management. Many of these issues, ventured upon
earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks
(MANET) and mobile network research initiatives,
need to be reconsidered in this case. These
technologies have to meet strict requirements
with respect to user perception, viable business
models, usage of communication bandwidth,
protocol complexity, robustness, availability of
links and infrastructure, dependability and trust.

Scope of the submission
We seek original contributions which are aimed at
finding solutions to the problems that are
outlined above towards realization of a
Personalized Network. We have identified the
following major topics under which we try to
categorize the submissions. However, we will
consider any other original, interesting, and
imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting
this goal of a Personalized Network.
* Architectural framework of personalized networks
* Personalized Network Applications
* Personal Communications in the next generation Internet
* Personal Networks for rural areas
* Context Awareness
* Resource, service and context discovery
* Self-organization and adaptation
* Addressing and routing
* Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks,
etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks
* Mobility of personalized networks
* Security, privacy and anonymity
* Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use
* Dependability
* Application-driven communication substrates
* Personalized networks for group oriented networking
* New QoS concepts in personalized networks
* QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices
* Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources
* Modeling and simulation of personalized networks
* P2P paradigm in personalized networks
* Innovative applications or prototypes and
demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued
Why should you participate in this workshop?
Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the
future networks, yet very current, in the field
of communications. It attracts researchers from
both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is
an ideal platform to share a vision of where we
are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an
exciting new avenue for researchers and
practitioners in the field of communication.
Further, the final program would consist of
carefully selected - with at least three peer
reviews - and high quality submissions with a
large emphasis on new ideas rather than
incremental contributions to the field.
Submissions of shorter versions of full papers
that can be submitted to other
conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

[Tccc] CFP - Third Special Issue on Security and Management - JNSM of Springer

CALL FOR PAPERS
JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
Third Special Issue on Security and Management
Guest-edited by Carlos Becker Westphall and Peter Mueller
Manuscript due September 30, 2009

Political and military events, coupled with the accelerating frequency of
cyber attacks on network/IT systems and technical revelations of
management protocol insecurities, underscore the substantial risks
associated with network, systems and applications management. Through
management systems, rogue elements can perpetrate targeted as well as
system-wide fraud, theft of services, and disruption of capabilities and
management data. Worse yet, due to the extended, pervasive reach of
management systems, rogues can get a stranglehold on the IT and networking
resources of an enterprise, entire industry sectors, even national
critical infrastructures or governments.

Consequently, interest in the security aspects of management systems has
sky rocketed. Security is an essential feature, not an after-thought, of
an information enterprise. The commercial sector is pursuing double-digit
growth rates for IT and network security spending. Corporations embracing
e-business strategies that involve integration of systems and resources
with business partners want assurances that their internal resources will
not be compromised by vulnerable management systems, internal or external.
Corporations and governments remain at risk for cyber attack on
mission-critical management components. Legislation is making security an
R&D priority.

This special issue of the Journal of Network and Systems Management in
collaboration with IEEE CNOM (Committee on Network Operation and
Management) and CISTC (Communications and Information Security) Technical
Committees will consider topics associated with both the management of
security in telecommunications, network, and systems environments, and the
security for management systems in such environments. Submissions may span
a broad range of topics, e.g.,:

- Security and management in wireless, multicast, multi-media and/or
converged environments
- Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP); continuity issues for security
and management in CIP
- Threats, vulnerabilities and requirements for security management and
management system security
- Policies and SLAs for managed security and security for management
systems
- Security Policy Management
- Attack management systems and management systems as attack platforms
- Scalability, efficiency and reliability of secure management and
security
management solutions
- End-to-end secure management and security management across distributed
domains
- High assurance and trustworthy management
- The Common Criteria in standardizing security characteristics of
management systems
- Managed security service provisioning and managed security service
providers
- Security management best practices
- Testing and Evaluating security management and management system
security
solutions
- Open Source solutions for security management and management system
security
- Detection, analysis and elimination of exposures and attacks in
management
systems
- Legal, insurance and Board Room liabilities, linked liabilities and
product liabilities
- Laws and policies on management systems, operations, administration and
maintenance
- Integration of security and management with business goals/strategies
- Case studies and experiences of secure management and security
management
systems

[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Multimedia Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

---------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
AD HOC NETWORKS (ELSEVIER) JOURNAL

Special Issue on
MULTIMEDIA AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS
http://www.elsevierscitech.com/pdfs/cfp_adhoc0709.pdf
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Multimedia applications enabled by quality-aware wireless multi-hop networks
include online gaming, video conferencing, video streaming, mobile TV, and
peer-to-peer streaming. In addition, they include monitoring applications
such as video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems,
advanced health care delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial
process control. In spite of the increasing demand for multimedia wireless
networking, we are still lacking a clear understanding of analytical and
computational techniques, as well as best practices, to design resource
allocation schemes, communication protocols, and self-organization
algorithms for wireless multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks that will
deliver, in a predictable and quantifiable fashion, the quality of service
and experience required by the end user.
In addition, while significant advances in physical layer techniques offer
new opportunities for cross-layer optimizations designed to satisfy
application needs, efforts to leverage these techniques from a networking
perspective to support the needs of multimedia traffic demands in multi-hop
wireless networks are still at initial stages. In particular, dynamic
spectrum access and cognitive radios, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
techniques, ultra-wide-band and cooperative communications, among other
techniques, will have a profound impact on our ability to flexibly and
predictably deliver multimedia content over wireless networks. Finally, with
a few exceptions, processing of multimedia content has mostly been
approached as a problem isolated from the network-design problem. However,
in-network processing and delivery of multimedia content are not independent
and their interaction has a major impact on the levels of quality of service
(QoS) that can be delivered. Hence, it is necessary to develop flexible and
self-organizing architectures and algorithms to flexibly perform in-network
processing of multimedia contents.

This special issue solicits papers on all aspects of multimedia ad hoc and
sensor networks, with a primary focus on three key aspects. First,
content-aware cross-layer design and resource allocation techniques, as well
as new networking protocols based on metrics associated with quality of
service/video/experience are of particular interest. Second, original papers
examining networking aspects that leverage advances in physical and multiple
access techniques to support multimedia traffic are particularly welcome.
Third, papers investigating the interdependencies between multimedia
in-network processing and networking aspects are sought, e.g., architectures
and techniques to store, process in real-time, correlate and fuse multimedia
data originating from heterogeneous sources.
The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art
research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these
key aspects of multimedia content delivery over ad hoc and sensor networks.
Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not
currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are
solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Architectures and applications for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks
- Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming
- Distortion and quality/experience-aware cross-layer design
- Optimization techniques for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks
- Capacity modeling
- Quality-aware medium access control, scheduling, routing, and transport
- Quality-aware resource management and admission control
- Cross-layer design for P2P streaming
- Experimental and testbed-based studies
- Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design
- Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design
- Multimedia traffic on cognitive radio networks
- Cooperative communication techniques for real-time video streaming
- MIMO techniques for multimedia delivery
- Physical layer technologies for efficient delivery of multimedia content
- Secure multimedia communications
- Joint multimedia processing and communication
- Compressed sensing for multimedia sensor networks
- Distributed source/video coding and multimedia processing

[Tccc] Mobile IPv6 and Network-based Localized Mobility Management (MobiWorld 2010)

[Please accept our apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP]

== MobiWorld 2010 Call for Paper
====================================================
2nd IEEE International Workshop on
Mobile IPv6 and Network-based Localized Mobility Management (MobiWorld 2010)
http://isyou.hosting.paran.com/mobiworld10
January 9-12, 2010, Las Vegas, Nevada USA
(In conjunction with CCNC 2010)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Hot News! ==
- Distinguished papers accepted and presented in MobiWorld 2010, after
further revisions,
will be published in Special Issue of Wireless Personal Communication
(indexed by SCIE).
- Submission deadline has been changed to September 1, 2009

== Overview ==
As mobile computing is more and more widespread, mobility support for
Internet devices becomes very important.
Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a promising technology that handles the mobility
management and provides the seamless mobile communications.
It is expected that MIPv6, as a standard for mobile communication, will open
the Mobile Internet Age.
In MIPv6, it has been observed that mobility for mobile devices can be more
efficiently handled
if mobility management is broken down into localized mobility management and
global mobility management.
Therefore, host-based approaches such as Fast-Handovers for MIPv6 (FMIPv6)
and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6)
have been proposed for localized mobility management.
In addition, Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6) has been presented for the network-based
localized mobility management (NETLMM),
which does not require mobile devices to be involved in the signaling for
mobility management.
This workshop will focus on the challenges and solutions for MIPv6 with an
emphasis on PMIPv6 and NETLMM,
which have recently gained considerable attention. The MobiWorld workshop
will provide an opportunity
for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and
progress in the area of MIPv6 and NETLMM.
In addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely
related to the various theories
and practical applications in MIPv6 and NETLMM. Furthermore, we expect that
the workshop and its publications will be
a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this
important subject.

[Tccc] AASN'2009: Call for Papers

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

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

http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/09/workshops/AASN09/AASN_workshop.html

To be held in conjunction with
The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital
EcoSystems (MEDES 2009)
Lyon - France, October 27-30, 2009.


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 second 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
- Sensor network maintenance
- Intelligent sensors and sensor networks
- Data management in sensor networks
- Data and resource sharing in sensor networks
- Quality of Service in sensor networks
- Sustainable sensor networks
- Decision Support Systems for Sensor Networks
- Virtual Environment for Supporting Sensor Networks
- Sensor Networks on the Web
- Sensor networks for a sustainable development
- Autonomous/Intelligent social sensor networks
- Autonomous/Intelligent sensor networks for supporting social networks
- Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent management of spatial
resources
- Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent risk management
- New sensor network applications


Important Dates:
Submission deadline: July 31st 2009
Acceptance notification: September 5th 2009
Camera ready papers: September 15th 2009

P2PNVE 2009
The 3rd International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Networked Virtual Environments
in conjunction with
The 15th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS 2009)
December 9 -11, 2009
Shenzhen, China
<http://acnlab.csie.ncu.edu.tw/P2PNVE2009> http://acnlab.csie.ncu.edu.tw/P2PNVE2009

=================================================
About P2PNVE 2009
The rapid growth and popularity of networked virtual environments(NVEs) such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) in recent years have spawned a series of research interests in constructing large-scale virtual environments. For increasing scalability and decreasing the cost of management and deployment, more and more studies propose using peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures to construct large-scale NVEs for games, multimedia virtual worlds and other applications. The goal of such research is to support an Earth-scale virtual environment or to make hosting virtual worlds more affordable than existing client-server approaches. However, existing solutions for consistency control, persistent data storage, multimedia data dissemination, cheat-prevention, topology mismatching, and virtual world interoperability are not straightforwardly adapted to such new environments. Novel ideas and designs thus are needed to realize the potential of P2P-based NVEs.

The 1st and the 2nd International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Networked Virtual Environments were in conjunction with the 13th and 14th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems in 2007 and 2008, respectively. To adhere to the theme of P2PNVE workshops, the theme of P2PNVE 2009 is to solicit original and previously unpublished new ideas on general P2P schemes and on the design and realization of P2P-based NVEs. The workshop aims to facilitate discussions and idea exchanges by both academics and practitioners.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-P2P systems and infrastructures
-Applications of P2P systems
-Performance evaluation of P2P systems
-Trust and security issues in P2P systems
-Network support for P2P systems
-Fault tolerance in P2P systems
-Efficient P2P resource lookup and sharing
-Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) and related issues
-Solutions to topology mismatching for P2P overlays
-P2P overlays for NVEs
-P2P NVE multicast
-P2P NVE interoperability
-P2P NVE content distribution
-P2P NVE 3D streaming
-P2P NVE voice communications
-P2P NVE architecture designs
-P2P NVE prototypes
-P2P NVE consistency control
-Persistent storage for P2P NVEs
-Security and cheat-prevention mechanisms for P2P games
-P2P control for mobile NVEs
-P2P NVE applications on mobile devices

Important Dates
Submission: July 31, 2009 (Extended)
Notification: September 1, 2009
Camera ready: October 1, 2009

Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts, not to exceed 8 double-columned, single-spaced pages, to web site http://acnlab.csie.ncu.edu.tw/P2PNVE2009/submission.
