The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common
place at a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for
exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The
model used to form these annual conferences facilitates communication
among researchers from all over the world in different fields of
computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both
inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and
outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and
applications) will be covered during the conferences.

WORKSHOP SCOPE
__________________________________________________________________

Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and
enhancing the services offered to and provided by mobile systems
at any time and in any place. This new scenario asks for effec-
tive solutions to design, develop, and maintain novel ubiquitous
services notwithstanding abrupt changes and challenging depend-
ability requirements imposed by the highly heterogeneous and er-
ror-prone mobile provisioning environment. However, currently de-
ployed mobile systems are often too inflexible and unable to
rapidly adapt to change and this in turn leads to situations
where quality-of-service and quality-of-experience are strongly
and negatively affected.

To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and envi-
ronments, a variety of research studies have produced supporting
methods, proof-of-concept prototypes, and disciplines. As an ex-
ample, Resilience, or "the ability of the network to provide and
maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of various
faults and challenges to normal operation", is being recognized
more and more as a fundamental attribute for truly effective mo-
bile and ubiquitous services of today and tomorrow. However, it
is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the chal-
lenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emerg-
ing mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile commerce, wireless
control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance.

The ambition and mission of ADAMUS is to put on the foreground
all above issues and to foster the exchange of ideas and lively
discussion in order: to devise conceptual models and paradigms
for change tolerance; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and
develop mobile ubiquitous systems; to provide analytical and sim-
ulation tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and
to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable,
maintainable, cost-effective middleware infrastructures able to
support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mo-
bile ubiquitous services.

Building on the success of the last two editions, ADAMUS 2009
aims at serving as a meeting ground and common platform of dis-
cussion for research and industrial bodies in the field of adap-
tive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. In particular, the
focus of this Workshop edition will be on service continuity de-
fined as the ability to grant continuous distribution of mobile
ubiquitous service despite the occurrence of potentially signifi-
cant and sudden changes or faults in the infrastructure and the
surrounding environment. Researchers and practitioners are en-
couraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify
open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing
solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for
adaptive and dependable applications over mobile environments.
The main topics of the Workshop include, but are not limited to
the following:

* Dependability and adaptation requirements and open issues for
mobile ubiquitous systems;
* Resilience software engineering for mobile systems and services;
* Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependa-
ble and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems;
* Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based infr-
astructures;
* Human-machine interaction and usability;
* Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems;
* Cross-layer adaptation techniques;
* End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile
services;
* Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability;
* Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and standards for heter-
ogeneous wireless networks;
* Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiquitous
systems;
* Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation
to networks conditions;
* Dependability measurement studies of mobile systems and services.

ICST - GridNets 2009: Call for Papers

(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message)

++++ GridNets 2009 ++++
Third International ICST Conference on Networks for Grid Applications
September 7-9, 2009 - Athens (Greece)
http://www.gridnets.org

++ Sponsored by ICST ++
In cooperation with ACM SIGARCH (pending)
Technically co-sponsored by Create-Net and EU-IST

++ Paper submission deadline: May 8, 2009 ++

GridNets provides a focused and highly interactive forum where
researchers and technologists have the opportunity to present and
discuss leading research, developments, and future directions in the
Grid networking area. The goal of this event is to serve as both the
premier conference presenting best Grid Networking research and a forum
where new concepts can be introduced and explored.

Grid developers and practitioners are increasingly realizing the
importance of efficient network support. Entire classes of applications
would greatly benefit by a network-aware grid middleware, able to
effectively manage the network resource in terms of scheduling, access
and use. Conversely, the peculiar requirements of grid applications
provide stimulating drivers for new challenging research towards the
development of grid-aware networks.

Cooperation between grid middleware and network infrastructure driven by
a common control plane is a key factor to effectively empower the global
grid platform for the execution of network-intensive applications,
requiring massive data transfers, very fast and low-latency connections,
and stable and guaranteed transmission rates. Large e-science projects,
as well as industrial and engineering applications for data analysis,
image processing, multimedia, or visualisation just to name a few are
awaiting an efficient grid network support. They would be boosted by a
global grid platform enabling end-to-end dynamic bandwidth allocation,
broadband and low-latency access, interdomain access control, and other
network performance monitoring capabilities.

-- TOPICS --

* Network architectures and technologies for grids;
* Integration of advanced optical networking technologies into the
grid environment;
* The network as a first class grid resource: network resource
information publication, brokering and co-scheduling with other
resources;
* Interaction of the network with distributed data management systems;
* Network monitoring, traffic characterisation and performance analysis;
* Inter-layer interactions: optical layer with higher layer protocols,
integration among layers;
* Experience with pre-production optical network infrastructures and
exchange points;
* Peer-to-peer network enhancements applied to the grid;
* Network support for wireless and ad hoc grids;
* Data replication and multicasting strategies and novel data transport
protocols;
* Cluster and high performance networks;
* Networks for Data Centers;
* Networks & Cloud computing issues;
* Fault-tolerance, self healing networks;
* Security and scalability issues when connecting a large number of sites
within a virtual organization VPN;
* Energy awareness and power consumption in grids.

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE **** March 1st, 2009 ****
---------------------------------------------------

New challenges arise in the area of processes and services engineering,
where research is devoted to the software engineering ofservice-oriented
applications and the goal is to provide effective solutions to the
development, deployment and management of the resulting software systems.
Security plays a fundamental role, since the resulting applications are
expected to function correctly and resist also to malicious attacks in
different and changing threat scenarios. Service integrators, software
developers, and service providers need to create novel methodologies,
tools, and techniques to take into account the security issues related
to the development and use of dependable services and service oriented
applications. Even if recently many standards providing basic
properties and protocols for the secure composition
of business processes and services have appeared, many security problems
need to be addressed. The engineering of complex processes and service
oriented software still lacks powerful, effective methods and tools to
build better, more robust and more secure systems.

The SAPSE workshop is intended to provide a forum for presentation and
discussion of a wide range of topics related to the security aspects of
software processes and services engineering. Researchers from both
academia and industry, working in the areas of process engineering,
service-oriented computing, and security are invited to discuss state of
the art solutions, novel issues, recent developments,
applications, methodologies, techniques, experience reports, and tools
for the development and use of secure service oriented systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Trust, security, and privacy in service oriented systems
* Secure business process composition
* Service dependability, survivability, and reliability
* Design and development of secure service oriented systems
* Security specification of service oriented systems
* Certification of service oriented systems
* Verification, validation and testing of security properties of
service oriented systems

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

The 4th UPGRADE-CN Workshop on Content Management and Delivery in
Large-Scale Networks
to take place during
ACM/IEEE HPDC (High Performance Distributed Computing)
June 10, 2009, Munich, Germany

Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) have emerged to improve the
efficiency of static, time-dependent and rich media content delivery
atop large-scale IP-based networks. The main objective of current CDNs
is the efficient delivery and increased availability of content to the
consumers. However, modern applications do not just perform retrieval or
access operation on content but also create, modify and manage content,
and actively place content at appropriate locations. To deal with such
new requirements, more general Content Networks (CNs) are being
introduced. Design and implementation of robust and efficient CNs in
large-scale computing environments demand for emerging paradigms and
software technologies. Agent, P2P and Grid computing paradigms have
already demonstrated their suitability in supporting the development of
high-performance systems over large-scale, dynamic and heterogeneous
environments. Therefore their use, which accounts for dynamism (P2P),
robustness (Grid), and intelligence (Agents), can augment the
effectiveness and boost the efficiency of future content distribution
infrastructures. Moreover new interesting distributed computing
paradigms such as Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing can be
used for effectively supporting CNs.

Areas of interest
-----------------
In this workshop we are interested in the exploitation of P2P, Grid, and
Agent paradigms and technologies as well as service-oriented and cloud
computing to support the effective design and efficient implementation
of high-performance Content Networks. In particular, the areas of
interest are the following (although this list should not be treated as
exclusive):
* Architectures for general-purpose content networks
* Architectures for streaming content distribution networks
* Architectures for mobile dynamic CDNs
* Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based CDNs
* Grid/P2P/Agent-based content delivery and management
* Novel architectural models for Cloud Computing
* Content Delivery Networks using Storage Clouds
* Protocols and mechanisms for content management, delivery, discovery
and distribution
* Platforms and tools for content production
* Mechanisms for content-based request redirection
* Mechanisms for cooperative caching
* Frameworks and toolkits for the development of CNs
* Economics-oriented modelling in CDNs
* Novel applications based on CNs
* CDN pricing and support for market aware CDN services
* Experience with research content network test-beds
* Novel applications of cloud computing
* CNs for bio-informatics
* CNs for scientific computing

Scope
*****
The explosion in the use of broadband over the last 5 years has connected people, organizations, commercial firms, and government agencies throughout the world. The large number of devices connected to the networks has changed the Internet to a "network of things and computers". These trends, plus the rise of collaborative technologies, virtual worlds and tele-presence raise issues of privacy, management, compliance, governance, and risk.
The Internet of the Future is the theme of ISGIG 2009. Specifically, its goal is to improve communication among academics, regulators, compliance officers, business managers and IT managers by exposing problems, and uncovering potential problems, in the areas of privacy, compliance, governance, and risk. Each of these issues creates situations for both conflict and cooperation between different constituencies. This conference is an opportunity to advance models of effective management and collaboration.
The conference will rely on a judicious mix of research papers, invited speakers and structured discussions to extend the communities' communication and identify opportunities for mutually beneficial outcomes.

QuantumComm 2009

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON QUANTUM COMMUNICATION AND QUANTUM NETWORKING
(FROM SATELLITE TO NANOSCALE)

October 26 - 30, 2009
Vico Equense, Sorrento peninsula, Naples, Italy

Sponsors: Create-Net (www.create-net.org), ICST (www.icst.org)

CALL FOR PAPERS

Scope: This meeting brings together communities
of experts in quantum communication, quantum
information, quantum nanoscale physics,
photonics, and networking. In the framework of
quantum information processing the quantum
communication mainly deals with encoding and
securely distributing quantum states of light in
optical fiber or in free space providing grounds
for quantum cryptography applications.
Advancements in quantum communication area over
last decade have made the metropolitan quantum
networks a reality. The practical secure
satellite communication is clearly within the
reach.
It became clear with rapid advancement of modern
nanoscale technology that quantum photonic
devices naturally communicate with each other
either electromagnetically or by virtue of an
electron transport. Basic laws of quantum physics
and quantum electromagnetics govern this type of
communication at nanoscale. To a macroscopic
observer such nanoscale systems could appear in a
form a structured or unstructured network. The
cross-disciplinary merger of quantum physics and
nanophotonics with principles of networking in
communication opens new perspective for
developing modern quantum communication
applications with an eye on practical devices.
This conference is devoted to the discussion of
new challenges in quantum communication and
quantum networking that extends from the
nanoscale to a global satellite communication
networks. It will place particular emphasis on
basic quantum science effects and on emerging
technological solutions leading to practical
applications in communication industry.

ICST - Call for Papers: ArtsIT 2009

International Conference on Arts and Technology (ArtsIT2009) Sep. 24-25, 2009, Yi-Lan, Taiwan http://www.artsit.org

CALL FOR PAPERS

----------------------------------------------------------
We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email.
Yun-Sheng Yen, ArtsIT2009 Publicity Chair
----------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE

International Conference on Arts and Technology (ArtsIT2009) will be held in Yi-Lan, Taiwan, September 24th-25th, 2009. This conference is planned to be a place where people in arts, with a keen interest in modern IT technologies, meet with people in IT, having strong ties to arts in their works. The aim is to bring art to all people while offering the artists a creative tool to extend the grammar of the traditional arts.
With the evolution of intelligent devices, sensors and ambient intelligent/ubiquitous systems, it is not surprising to see many researches and arts projects starting to explore the design of intelligent artistic artefacts. Ambient intelligence supports the vision that technology will become invisible, embedded in our natural surroundings, present whenever we need it, attuned to all our senses, adaptive to users and context and autonomously acting. High quality arts or information should be potentially available to any user, anywhere, at any time, with any device. The information environments will be the major drivers of culture which will eventually lead to the future 4i space (intelligent, interactive, invisible and informative) - Utopia kind of life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

We cordially invite prospective authors to submit papers in the following areas towards the applications of arts in any forms, such as performing arts, images, animations, visualization, music, sculptures, and so forth.
1. New Media Technologies (Evolutionary systems that create arts or display art works, such as tracking sensors, wearable computers, mixed reality, etc.) 2. Software Art (Image processing or computer graphics techniques that create arts, including algorithmic art, mathematic art, advanced modeling and rendering, etc.) 3. Animation Techniques (2D or 3D computer animations, AI-based animations, etc.) 4. Multimedia (Integration of different media, such as virtual reality systems, audio, performing arts, etc.) 5. Interactive Methods (Vision-based tracking and recognition, interactive art, etc.)
For more details and updates, please visit the ArtsIT2009 Website at http://www.artsit.org

MISSION

Over the last decade, computer systems and applications in everyday
use have grown to unprecedented scales. Large clusters serving
millions of search requests per day, grids executing large workflows
and parameter sweeps consisting of thousands of jobs, and
supercomputers running complex e-science applications, have now
hundreds of thousands of processing cores. In addition, clouds are
quickly emerging as a large-scale computing infrastructure. Peer-to-
peer systems and centralized video distribution systems that dominate
the internet and complicated internet applications such as massive
multiplayer online games are used by millions of people every day.

In view of this tremendous growth, understanding the performance of
large-scale computer systems and applications has become vital to
institutional, commercial, and private interests. This workshop
solicits original papers on performance evaluation methods, tools, and
studies focusing on the challenges of large scale, such as
decentralization, predictable performance, reliability, and
scalability. It aims to bring together system designers and
researchers involved with the modeling and performance evaluation of
large-scale systems and applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Performance aspects of large-scale systems
- Performance aspects of large-scale applications
- Performance-oriented properties such as availability, reliability,
and scalability
- Workload characterization and modeling - Mathematical modeling and
analysis methods
- Simulation methods and tools
- Measurement methods and tools
- Performance case studies

[WNM 2009] CFP: Fourth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements, in conjunction with the 34th IEEE LCN

Sincere apologies for duplication, if any.

Call for Papers:

WNM 2009
Fourth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements, in conjunction with the 34th IEEE LCN
(http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN-WNM2009/)

October 20-23, 2009
Swissôtel Zürich, Schulstrasse 44, CH-8050 Zürich, Switzerland

The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in
conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN).
The workshop will include papers and panels dealing with latest advances and
challenges facing the field. The expected audience will include networking
researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry,
academia and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance.
The first three IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements was very
successful in bringing together a set of participants actively working on
network measurements in various domains. We will continue to address
network measurements from different perspectives and different domains.

Topics of Interest:

Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and
characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is
important for understanding the behavior of networks and for evaluating
the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Cross-layer
designs, and overlay protocols often rely on measurements. Measurements in
wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and subnet measurements face
domain specific constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex
dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in performing
measurement itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a
forum for researchers and practitioners interested in network measurements
to discuss and exchange measurement related research in both wireless and
wired domains, and also explore emerging fields of measurements such as on
mobile devices.

High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics
including, but not limited to:

Measurements on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks
Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless networks
Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds
Mobility models and traffic patterns
Wired and wireless domain measurements
Measurement tools, benchmarks and data sets
Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation
Active and passive measurements at core nodes
End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the Internet
Metrics for network characterization
Measurements on Mobile devices
Applications and protocols relying on network measurements

Paper length should not exceed 6 pages. Papers should be submitted
electronically in PDF format via EDAS. Papers will go through a thorough
review process. The accepted papers will appear in the IEEE LCN conference
proceedings and also be available via IEEE Xplore.
Proposals for panel sessions are also invited. Please send the proposal by
the same deadline as for papers.

Important Dates:

Paper registration deadline: April 6, 2009
Paper submission deadline: April 13, 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC)

BIO-INSPIRED NETWORKING

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

Recently, a number of approaches inspired by biological mechanisms and
phenomena have been proposed as a strategy to handle the complexity of
massively distributed systems such as the Internet, or wireless ad hoc
and sensor networks. The goal of bio-inspired approaches is to discover
and to adapt biological methods to technical solutions that are showing
similarly high stability, adaptability, and scalability as biological
entities often have.

This special issue intends to highlight the latest achievements in the
new research domain of bio-inspired networking. In particular, the issue
focuses on methodologies for identifying relevant biological mechanisms,
the modeling of these mechanisms, and their application to technical
solutions. Prospective articles are expected to outline either proof of
concept studies with direct comparison to classical technical solutions,
or theoretical mathematical models of biological principles associated
with fundamental challenges in communication systems. For this special
issue, we consider all techniques with direct biological background
including animal learning strategies, self-organizing methods as
observed from swarms down to nano-structures that are observed and
analyzed in molecular biology. Classical complex systems research is
explicitly excluded from the scope whereas a comparison to well-known
techniques in this domain is appreciated.

This special issue is dedicated to bio-inspired approaches addressing
various aspects of networking and communication systems. The topics of
interest include the following domains:

- Self-organizing communication systems
- Evolutionary and adaptive systems and protocols
- Scalable systems and protocols
- Self-learning algorithms
- Self-healing systems and protocols
- Security mechanisms
- Network algorithms and protocols
- Scalable and adaptive network architectures
- Congestion control mechanisms
- Performance evaluation of bio-inspired networks

Original unpublished contributions, and invited articles will be
considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to
IEEE-JSAC guidelines (please note the mandatory overlength page charges
of $220/page after the first 7 pages). Authors should submit a PDF
version of their complete manuscript via email to dressler@ieee.org
according to the following timetable:

Manuscript Submission: March 15, 2009 (extended)
Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2009
Final Manuscript due to Pub: December 1, 2009
Publication: 2nd quarter 2010

[Mycolleagues] NetEval 2009- The First Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Next-Generation Networks, Boston MA, Submission deadline March 6

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS

NetEval 2009 - The First Workshop on Performance Evaluation of
Next-Generation Networks

April 26, 2009
Boston, MA, USA
http://cans.uml.edu/neteval2009.html

Co-located with IEEE ISPASS'09
http://www.ispass.org/ispass2009/

The design and prototyping of the next-generation Internet has been an
active research area in the networking community. Significant efforts have
been devoted to revise many aspects of current network design including
network architecture, network protocols, security and privacy, and service
abstractions. The development of experimental network testbeds (e.g.
PlanetLab, Emulab, GENI, etc.) has allowed researchers to evaluate and
verify innovative designs through realistic experiments at a global scale.

The design of the next-generation Internet also draws a great deal of
interest from the computer architecture research community. The introduction
of virtualization and programmability in router systems requires high
performance embedded processing elements. Network processors, FPGAs, and
multi-core processors play important roles in modern routers and switches.

The expanding functionality of the next-generation Internet and the
increasing complexity of its router systems pose a novel challenge for
performance evaluation. Researchers and developers involved in designing and
implementing new network architectures, router systems, and network
applications need the ability to thoroughly evaluate and quantitatively
compare the performance of these systems. Currently, there are no
established evaluation methodologies, benchmark network topologies, or
application workloads to guide the performance evaluation process in
next-generation networks.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners
from the networking, computer architecture, and performance evaluation
communities to describe, discuss, and advance the state of the art in
performance evaluation of next-generation networks. The workshop solicits
papers that cover analytic, simulation-based, and measurement-based
performance evaluation topics in this area. Since this workshop focuses on
next-generation networks, we envision that papers relate to either

1. performance evaluation techniques in next-generation networks or

2. specific performance evaluation studies of next-generation networks
and their systems.

*** Topics ***

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

* Performance evaluation techniques for next-generation networks.
* Active and passive measurement in next-generation networks.
* Design and prototypes of network measurement systems and tools.
* Performance metrics, analysis, and optimization for next- generation
networks.
* Performance evaluation of network processing systems based on network
processors, FPGAs, or multi-core processors.
* Performance studies of high performance and programmable routers
* Benchmarks of next-generation network applications
* Performance techniques and studies related to network virtualization.
* Performance techniques and studies related to network security.
* Performance techniques and studies related to cross-layer
optimization.
* Performance evaluation related to GENI and other next- generation
network testbeds.
* Prototypes and techniques for network trace collection and analysis
in next-generation networks

*** Submission Instructions ***

The workshop welcomes original papers from academia and industry on work
related to the above topics. Position papers are welcome and should be
identified as such in the title. Submissions must not exceed 6 pages in
length, must follow the IEEE conference paper formatting guidelines for US
letter page size
(http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confer

[Mycolleagues] Call For Papers: Journal of Information Science and Engineering (indexed by SCIE) [Special Issue on Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems]

Call For Papers
Journal of Information Science and Engineering (indexed by SCIE)
Special Issue on Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems

Aim and Scope:
--------------
With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the Vehicular
Wireless Networks (V-Winet) and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation
Systems (V-ITS) have recently received much attention. V-Winets and
V-ITS aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for
passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption with
many potential applications. For instance, vehicular safety applications
include automatic collision notification, heavy fog detection and
notification, remote diagnostics, emergency management, and other
assistances for safe driving. Non-safety applications include real-time
traffic congestion notification, location-based driver information services,
high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile high speed Internet access,
in-place traffic view, and many others. To facilitate these applications,
many different types of communications and networking would be involved,
including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V),
vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I)
communications for V-Winet and V-ITS to provide timely information or
Internet access to vehicles, drivers, and passengers. Consequently,
V-Winet and V-ITS need to integrate existing networking technologies,
such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11p, DSRC, 3G, IEEE 802.16, Bluetooth,
Sensor networks, and ZigBee for easy, accurate, effective and simple
communications among vehicles, users, and infrastructure networks.
This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality,
original, unpublished research covering all aspects of V-Winet and V-ITS
communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include,
but not limited to, the followings:

- Network Architecture of V-Winet/V-ITS
- V-Winet/V-ITS Services and Applications
- Cooperative Aspects of V-Winet/V-ITS
- Availability and Scalability Issues in V-Winet/V-ITS
- Mobility, Traffic Models and Network Management for V-Winet/V-ITS
- Cross-layer Optimization Techniques for V-Winet/V-ITS
- Modulation, Coding, and Channel Modeling for V-Winet/V-ITS
- Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Protocols
- Vehicle-to-Roadside Communication Protocols
- Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication Protocols
- Simulation Framework and Real-World Testbeds for V-Winet/V-ITS
- Driving Safety and Related Applications and Services
- Green Technologies and V-Winet/V-ITS

Submission Guidelines
----------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions representing
original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be carefully
evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity
of exposition. Authors should follow the JISE (http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/)

[VHPC '09] CfP 4th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC'09)

=================================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS

4th Workshop on

Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing
VHPC'09

as part of Euro-Par 2009, Delft, The Netherlands
=================================================================

Date: August 25, 2009

Euro-Par 2009: http://europar2009.ewi.tudelft.nl/
Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org

SUBMISSION DEADLINE:
Abstracts: March 12, 2009
Full Paper: June 8, 2009

Scope:

Virtualization has become a common abstraction layer in modern data
centers, enabling resource owners to manage complex infrastructure
independently of their applications. Conjointly virtualization is
becoming a driving technology for a manifold of industry grade IT
services. Piloted by the Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud services, the
cloud concept includes the notion of a separation between resource
owners and users, adding services such as hosted application
frameworks and queuing. Utilizing the same infrastructure, clouds
carry significant potential for use in high-performance scientific
computing. The ability of clouds to provide for requests and releases
of vast computing resource dynamically and close to the marginal cost
of providing the services is unprecedented in the history of
scientific and commercial computing.

Distributed computing concepts that leverage federated resource access
are popular within the grid community, but have not seen previously
desired deployed levels so far. Also, many of the scientific
datacenters have not adopted virtualization or cloud concepts yet.

This workshop aims to bring together industrial providers with the
scientific community in order to foster discussion, collaboration and
mutual exchange of knowledge and experience.

The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper
presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections.
Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations. It
concludes with a 30 min panel discussion by presenters.

[Mycolleagues] CFP: Special Issue on Sensor Network for Building Monitoring: From Theory to Real Application

CALL FOR PAPERS

EJSE – Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering

Special Issue on Sensor Network for Building Monitoring: From Theory to Real Application

http://www.ejse.org

EJSE invites contributions on the above subject to the first issue of an ongoing series of special ssues in building monitoring using sensor networks. Monitoring and automatic control of building environment is a crucial application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The investigation of efficient sensor network design that minimizes energy dissipation in a battery of the sensor node with limited battery power is a vital consideration for sensor network lifetime. Therefore careful scheduling of battery power in sensor networks has become a critical issue in network design. Recent technological developments have permitted miniaturization and power efficiency of sensors, and integration of data into applications for building monitoring and computer interaction. Sensor networks illustrate an exceptional improvement over traditional sensors. However, there are still many challenges to be met before we see more widespread use of WSN in building monitoring applications.

The principal objective of this special issue is to assemble papers on recent advances made in the area of sensor networks for monitoring buildings. Authors are specially invited to submit contributions in, (but not restricted to), the following topics:
- Practical experience and knowledge gained with real life deployment of sensor networks for building monitoring – for examples temperature, light intensity, CO and CO2 level
- Novel techniques for actual sensor deployment, data gathering in building monitoring
- Effects on activity monitoring, reliable communication, quality of service and security
- Power efficient communication: miniaturization, system integration and energy scavenging

Submission Details:
Papers Deadline: 30th June 2009
Acceptance Notification: 31st July 2009
Final Manuscript Due: 31st August 2009

### CROWNCOM 2009
4th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications
June 22nd - 24th 2009, Hannover, Germany

http://www.crowncom2009.org/

CALL FOR PAPERS

### Brief description
The owned spectrum allocation model in use today is believed to be obsolete. Firstly due to its intrinsic principle of fixed resource allocation that leads to a supposed spectrum scarcity, later revealed to be a question of non-efficient utilization. Secondly comes into play the need of introducing new wireless applications and services, which have experienced a huge growth in the last couple of decades, and are now supposed to cope with a multitude of already deployed standards. Both scenarios motivate the use of dynamic spectrum access in order to turn primary licensed networks into dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs). This lends itself to cognitive radio, an enabling technology that will benefit several types of players and help to implement a more efficient approach regarding spectrum requirements in the future.

The aim of this conference is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that address the various aspects of cognitive wireless systems and technologies, including a broad range of communications, networking and implementation issues. We seek original and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine or conference.

### Topics of interest
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Track 1 - New Trends
- Regulations, standardization and implementation for Cognitive Radio
- Dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs):
o Secondary markets
o Business models
o Industrial role
- Trust and security mechanisms

Track 2 - Interference and Coexistence Analysis
- Interference metric modeling
- Beamforming, MIMO and anti-jamming channel coding as interference avoidance strategies
- Radio resource management and dynamic spectrum sharing
- Spectrum sensing mechanisms and protocol support
- Wireless network co-existence

사단법인 서비스사이언스학회

2009년도 춘계학술대회 논문모집

주제 : 국가 성장동력과 서비스 사이언스

▣ 일 시: 2009년 4월 30일(목) 09:00~18:00
▣ 장 소: 코엑스 컨퍼런스센터 320호, 321호 (삼성동)

초대의 글

오늘날 서비스업이 차지하는 비중이 점점 증가하고 있으며 OECD 국가의 경우 서비스 산업 비중 평균이 70%를 상회하고 있고, 서비스 인력의 비중 또한 70%에 근접하고 있습니다. 이와 같이 선진국형 산업구조의 특징이라 할 수 있는 서비스 산업의 발전은 우리나라 경제의 앞날에도 중요한 지표가 된다고 하겠습니다.

선진 각국이 지식기반서비스 강국을 지향하고 있는 세계적인 흐름 속에서 우리 정부도 지식기반서비스를 국가 R&D의 7대 중점투자분야 중의 하나로 설정하여 육성을 추진하고 있습니다. 그러나, 우리의 지식서비스 산업 현황은 선진국에 비할 때 낮은 생산성과 산업 기여도로 나타나듯이, 충분한 지식화, 고효율화를 시급히 필요로 하고 있습니다. 나아가 서비스 산업의 도약을 통하여 당면한 경제와 고용문제를 풀어가는 것이 대한민국의 선택이 되어야 할 것으로 생각됩니다. 따라서 선진각국의 활발한 R&D 활동을 뛰어넘는 적극적이고 획기적인 서비스사이언스 R&D 활성화가 필요한 시점입니다.

이를 위해 제품의 서비스화, 서비스의 제품화를 주도하는 핵심 연구개발에 고도의 과학적인 접근�
