CALL FOR PAPERS

== 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.

In conjunction with PDCAT'09
http://www.cs.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/pdcat09/
December 8-11, 2009, Hiroshima, Japan

Call for Papers
Sensors are windows to the physical world for ambient intelligence (AmI)
applications. The recent emergence of networked sensors as a result of rapid
advances in sensor technologies and wireless networks, have set the stage
for the realization of smart environments where unobtrusive sensors, either
embedded or transportable by mobile carriers, enables fine-grain capture of
environmental or ambient information that provides the basis of intelligence
for higher-order cognitive systems, i.e. systems with capabilities to
perceive, reason, learn, and react intelligently to their environment. Such
systems in turn are envisioned to have wide ranging applications from
intelligent wildlife and building structure monitoring to humanistic and
social endevours such as health and elderly care service provisioning.

Following the success of the first SeNAmI at PDCAT 2008 in Dunedin, New
Zealand, this workshop once again aims to bring together researchers from
academia and industry to present and discuss recent trends and advances in
sensor networks and ambient intelligence, and from such engagement foster
innovations towards technology maturity of sensor-based ambient intelligence
systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Cognitive wireless sensor networks
- Cooperative sensor localization and target tracking
- Context-aware reasoning and inference for sensor/RFID-based systems
- Cross-layer design and optimization of sensor-based AmI systems
- Intelligent agents for autonomous sensor network management
- Sensor networking in heterogeneous wireless environments
- Sensor data fusion for ubiquitous embedded computing
- Security, trust, and privacy for autonomous smart spaces
- Nature or bio-inspired designs for ambient sensing and intelligence
- AmI architectures, platforms, applications, and services
- Prototype or testbed implementation and deployment trials

Manuscript submission
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience
are solicited. All paper submissions will be handled electronically via
EasyChair. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society proceedings guidelines to
prepare your papers. Maximum page length will be limited to 6 pages.
Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings of PDCAT'09,
which will be published by IEEE Computer Society and automatically included
in the IEEE Xplore digital library. The proceedings will also be cited by

[Mycolleagues] [CFP] ICDM Workshop: 1st International Workshop on Internet Multimedia Mining (2009) - Dec 6 2009, Miami, Florida, USA

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

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

1st International Workshop on:

*INTERNET MULTIMEDIA MINING*

(with dataset support)

http://research.microsoft.com/~xshua/imm2009

In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Data Mining 2009

December 6, Miami, Florida, USA

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

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

*Aims and Scope*

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

With the explosion of video and image data available on the Internet, online multimedia applications become more and more important. Moreover, mining semantics and other useful information from large-scale Internet multimedia data to facilitate online and local multimedia content analysis, search and other related applications has also gained more and more attention from both academia and industry. On the one hand, the rapid increase of online multimedia data brings new challenges to multimedia content analysis, multimedia retrieval and related multimedia applications, especially in scalability. Both computation cost and performance of many existing techniques are far from satisfactory. On the other hand, Internet also provides us with new opportunities to attack these challenges as well as conventional problems encountered in multimedia mining, content analysis, image/video understanding and computer vision. That is, the massive associated metadata, context and social information available on the Internet, as well as the massive grassroots Internet users, are invaluable resources that can be leveraged to solve the aforementioned difficulties.

Recently more and more researchers are realizing both the challenges and the opportunities for multimedia research brought by the Internet. This workshop aims at bringing together high-quality and novel research works on "Internet Multimedia Mining".

One of the major obstacles of "Internet Multimedia Mining" research is the difficulty in forming a "good" dataset for algorithm developing, system prototyping and performance evaluation. Together with this workshop, we release a benchmark dataset, which is based on real Internet multimedia data and real Internet multimedia search engines.

Submissions to this workshop are encouraged to use this dataset, but papers/demos working on other Internet-based datasets are also welcome.

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

*MSRA Multimedia Dataset*

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

MSRA-MM Version 1 dataset is ready for shipping. Detailed information about the dataset can be found at:

http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=79942. Please contact the dataset chair (Meng Wang: mm_data@microsoft.com) to request the data.

MSRA-MM Version 2 dataset (10 times larger with more metadata) will be ready around June 15. Please submit your request to the dataset chair.

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

*Topics of Interest*

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

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

* Internet video/image/audio annotation, classification, tagging, search ranking and reranking by combining textual description and video/image content.

* General video/image/audio annotation, classification, tagging, search ranking and reranking by exploiting Internet data and/or users.

Approaches which can handle large-scale data/users are more preferred.

* Video/image/audio processing and analyses using Internet data as a knowledge base.

* Social media processing, such as online media authoring and sharing, tag recommendation, tag filtering, tag ranking, and search ranking based on image/video/audio social context.

* Knowledge mining from Internet multimedia data, such as mining semantic distance of keywords or images, mining video/image/audio copy relationships (e.g., given a video/image/audio, to find all videos/images on the Internet that have the same content with the video/image, either entirely or partially), mining trends of multimedia consuming/sharing, mining knowledge (for example, "photo encyclopedia"", from massive amount of multimedia content on the Internet, etc.

* Web-scale content-based multimedia retrieval (for example, approaches based on large-scale high-dimensional feature indexing).

* Other online multimedia mining applications, such as multimedia advertising, multimedia recommendation, as well as location/GPS/geography-enabled multimedia, multimedia sensor network over the Internet, etc.

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

*Paper Submission*

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

We accept two forms of submissions: regular full papers and demonstrations. Regular submissions for this workshop are required to use the same format as regular ICDM long papers (a maximum of 10 pages in the IEEE 2-column format). And demonstration submission requires a 1- or 2-page demo description. We especially encourage long-paper authors to submit a demo also. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least

3 members of the program committee. Extended version of selected papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of a top journal in data mining or multimedia area. Paper submission site:

Introduction

Pervasive Computing (or ubiquitous computing) is a rapidly developing
research area cross various disciplines including

computer science, electronic engineering, mobile and wireless
communications, etc. The growing availability of

microprocessors with built-in communications facilities makes it possible
for people to obtain information and services

anytime and anywhere. Pervasive computing could have a range of applications
such as healthcare, homecare, intelligent

transportation, and environmental monitoring. However, it is quite difficult
for pervasive applications to satisfy trust,

security and privacy requirements, as a result of their ability to gather
sensitive data and change the environment via

actuating devices autonomously.

Following the success of TSP 2008 in Shanghai, China during December 17-20,
2008, "The 2009 IEEE International Symposium on

Trust, Security and Privacy for Pervasive Applications" (TSP-09) will be
held in Macau SAR, China during October 5-7, 2009,

in conjunction with "The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc
and Sensor Systems" (IEEE MASS 2009), aims at

bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on
trust, security, privacy, and related issues such as

technical, social and cultural implications for pervasive devices, services,
networks, applications and systems, and

providing a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends
in this highly challenging research area.

Scope and Interests

TSP-09 is an international forum for presenting and discussing emerging
ideas and trends in trust, security and privacy for

pervasive applications from both the research community as well as the
industry. Topics of interest include, but are not

limited to:

(1) Trust, Security and Privacy (TSP) metrics and architectures for
pervasive computing
(2) Trust management in pervasive environment
(3) Risk management in pervasive environment
(4) Security and privacy protection in pervasive environment
(5) Security and privacy in mobile and wireless communications
(6) Security and privacy for databases in pervasive environment
(7) Safety and user experiences in pervasive environment
(8) TSP-aware social and cultural implications in pervasive environment
(9) Cryptographic devices for pervasive computing
(10) Biometric authentication for pervasive devices
(11) Security for embedded software and systems
(12) TSP-aware middleware design for pervasive services
(13) TSP-aware case studies on pervasive applications/systems
(14) Key management in pervasive applications/systems
(15) Authentication in pervasive applications/systems
(16) Audit and accountability in pervasive applications/systems
(17) Access control in pervasive applications/systems
(18) Anonymity in pervasive applications/systems

[Tccc] CFP: Final Call for IEEE SenseApp (submission deadline: 1st June 2009)

Apologies if duplicated
__________________________________________________________________________________

SENSEAPP 2009
FOURTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN
BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2009)
Zurich, Switzerland
20 - 23 October 2009
Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp

CALL FOR PAPERS

Extended Paper Submission Deadline: 1 June 2009 (paper registration
deadline is the same as final submission date)

Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing,
computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are
deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process
information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics,
seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical
world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a
variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision
agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain
management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic
implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained
in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research
community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when
designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor
networks.

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and
industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the
workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community
to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of
wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions
describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
Innovative sensor network applications
Participatory sensing
Middleware support for sensor networks
Programming and debugging sensor networks
Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
Experiences with new sensor hardware
Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization
Experiences with communication protocols
Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)
Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network
deployments
Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks
Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation
Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime
Configuration and installation support
Management of large-scale sensor networks
Interconnection between IP and sensor networks

Please visit http://www.percom.org to view information on workshops
held at PerCom previous editions.
Note that the workshops are expected to provide significant room for
controversial
and stimulating discussions. The organisation of the workshop should
thus take care
of planning the correct presentation format to enable such kind of lively
interaction. Plans to address this point should already be clear
at the workshop proposal stage.

Workshops Proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining
to pervasive computing and communications research and applications.
Workshops addressing emerging research directions in the
pervasive computing and communication area are highly welcome.

[Mycolleagues] Call for papers: CSCW Interoperability Workshop at ECSCW 2009

Apologies for cross posting

ECSCW 09 Workshop on Interoperability in CSCW

Location: ECSCW 2009 in Vienna <http://www.ecscw09.org/>

Date: 7-8 September 2009

http://www.ami-communities.eu/wiki/ECSCW09_Interoperability_Workshop

Workshop overview

CSCW and groupware research yielded a large number of different systems
and different approaches towards the support of cooperative work.
However, we still lack an integrated environment that supports all forms
of cooperation in a seamless and integrated way. This is supported by
the following observations:

· During a cooperation process users are often constrained by a
single cooperation application due to the fact that cooperation objects
cannot be easily moved from one application to another.

· Users do not separate their cooperation needs into
synchronous/asynchronous, or structured, flexible, or semi-structured.
Therefore tools that aim at the support of a single cooperation type and
that do not consider cooperation as an activity that integrates
different types are required.

· Often different companies use different groupware
environments. Due to an absence of interoperability standards and
implementations, inter-organizational use of these environments becomes
impossible. As a result email becomes the primary cooperation media.

These observations indicate the need for research into integrated
cooperative work environments. This workshop invites researchers and
practitioners to present and discuss interoperability approaches for
CSCW applications.

Who should submit and attend

This full-day workshop will be of interest to researchers, designers and
practitioners concerned with collaborative architectures and new
approaches to collaboration services and how they can be used in working
environments. Participation in the workshop requires the submission of a
position paper. Each position paper should address the topic of
interoperability for CSCW by presenting an architecture, a concept, or
an implementation that illustrates how different CSCW applications can
be seamlessly integrated into a collaborative working environment.

These position papers and their presentation provide the baseline for
the development of an interoperability map during the workshop. This map
will identify the following aspects:

· Basic components and modules of a CSCW application

· Basic services that CSCW applications of a certain type should
provide

· Existing and required standards that have already or should be
applied when developing CSCW applications

· (Reference-) Architectures for CSCW

· Interoperability applications and implementations

The workshop will be open to a maximum of 15 participants.

Dissemination

Position papers and workshop outputs will be made available on the
website. The contribution of each presentation and position paper will
be integrated into an interoperability landscape and architecture that
will be published at the workshop website for further dissemination and
discussion. A contribution to the OCA reference model will also be
considered.

Submissions

Short position papers (2 pages) should be sent to
ecscw09-interop@fit.fraunhofer.de by the 20th June 2009. Acceptance
notifications will be sent by 6th July 2009.

* Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this e-mail *

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

CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS, special issue on

"Control over Wireless Networks: Foundations, Networking, Applications"

Wireless technologies, nowadays a commodity in personal and data
communication, have the potential of providing significant benefits in
factory and industrial automation systems. The wireless way of communicating
makes plant setup and modification easier, more flexible and cheaper. It
provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile robots or
mobile plant subsystems where fixed cables are in constant danger of
breaking. The industrial interest in wireless solutions is growing rapidly,
standardization efforts such as Wireless HART and ISA 100 are underway, and
hardware for embedded wireless is dropping in price. It can therefore be
expected that wireless technologies will be integrated into distributed
control systems on a broad scale. However, there are still open issues about
data security, reliability and performance of the wireless control loop that
may limit the rate of adoption.

The goal of the special section is to attract theoretical and practical
papers attacking the main issues and problems regarding the adoption of
wireless technologies for networked control, ranging from theoretical
foundations to the reporting of implementation experiences and applications.
The results must be original and previously unpublished. Substantially
extended versions of conference papers will also be considered for
publication.

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

* Industrial wireless networking for efficient, reliable and timely data
transmission: low-layer (MAC/link/physica-layer) protocols and multi-hop
(routing, transport) protocols

* Theory and methodology for reliable and robust wireless networked control

* Novel solutions for re-configurable, resilient and fault tolerant wireless
control

* Security for industrial wireless systems

* Middleware and higher-layer support for wireless networked control systems

* Hybrid wired/wireless networked control systems

* Experiences from industrial deployments of wireless control

* Innovative wireless networked control applications

[Mycolleagues] CFP: SAUCE 2009 - Symposium on Social Aspects of Ubiquitous Computing Environments, due date June 7

CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd International Workshop on Social Aspects of Ubiquitous Computing
Environments (SAUCE) 2009
October 12, 2009
Marrakech, Morocco
Conference Website: WiMob 2009- http://conferences.computer.org/wimob2009/
Paper submissions due: June 7, 2009

Organizers
Saha Subir, CEO, Mobivation
Peter Reiher, Adjunct Professor, Computer Science Department, UCLA

Workshop Theme

Over the last two decades, the focus of much computer research has
shifted from
desktop systems intended to make workers more productive to intelligent
environments and mobile devices that explicitly and implicitly interact
with
people in the many different contexts they inhabit and in the many
different
roles they enact. While the model of one person to one desktop computer is
still valid, there are many new interaction models that must be
investigated.
Many of the most interesting and unanswered questions raised by the
growth of
ubiquitous computing relate to social issues. Questions researchers face
include (i) how do ubiquitous computing systems or devices influence and
assist in people's social performances? (ii) how do intelligent systems
that
take autonomous action influence people's sense of control and sense of
self
in social situations? (iii) how does the interjection of computing into
social spaces such as homes, cafes, parks, malls, and entertainment venues
affect the meaning of these space and create new opportunities for
computing
to bring value to people's lives and (iv) how can we build ubiquitous
environments and applications that improve people's social interactions?

This workshop will bring together researchers investigating the social
issues,
implications, and opportunities of UbiComp from many different
perspectives.
We expect researchers with backgrounds in contextual awareness, security
and
privacy, intelligent environments, mobile computing, user research, major
application areas, and interaction design. The outcomes will be an improved
understanding from across the different disciplines and sub-disciplines
working in this domain to the main challenges (both technical and
social) to
developing successful UbiComp systems that both operate in complex social
environments and improve the quality of people's lives.

Topics of Interest

The areas of contributions to the workshop include a broad range of
challenges
related to the design of socially appropriate ubiquitous computing systems.
We especially encourage submissions related to the following topics:

o Collaborative control of intelligent environments
o Multi-player interactive gaming and story telling with locative elements
o Social media applications
o Interconnection of web 2.0 data and activities to physical
environments and objects
o Privacy & security issues for social UbiComp applications
o Virtualization and visualization of people, places, and things
o Location-based applications
o Middleware to support socially-oriented ubiquitous computing
o Techniques for inferring or extracting social context in UbiComp
environments
o Application studies, both with live users and in simulation
o Design and prototyping methods for identifying hidden social barriers
to UbiComp applications
o UbiComp systems that support initiation and strengthening of social
connections
o Middleware to support autonomic computing in a human environment

Participation

The papers will be peer-reviewed and chosen according to their relevance
to the
scope of the workshop, the quality and originality of the submission,
and their
ability to stimulate discussions. The organizers will try to consider as
many
submissions as possible to help assemble a large community of researchers
interested in the social aspects of ubiquitous computing environments.
We hope
that attendees will be prepared not just to present their papers, but to
participate in other workshop activities meant to help develop the field of
research and to expose researchers to the thoughts and approaches of
others,
particularly researchers who come from different intellectual
backgrounds who
have different perspectives on the area. All accepted papers will
require an
author to attend the workshop and register at the full conference rate for
WiMob 2009. All papers selected for this workshop will be included in
the main
WiMob conference proceedings that will be published by the IEEE.

Timetable

Paper submission due: June 7, 2009
Paper acceptance notification: July 26, 2009
Final manuscript due: August 10, 2009
Registration and full payment due: August 20, 2009

[Tccc] Last Call for Special Issue Papers (Firm deadline: May 30): Trusted Computing and Communications in the Wiley’s Security and Communication Networks (SCN) Journal

Appologies if you received multiple copies of this SI call for papers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last Call for Special Issue Papers: Trusted Computing and Communications
in the Wiley's Security and Communication Networks (SCN) Journal
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/121382872/HTMLSTART

With the rapid development and increasing complexity of computer and
communications
systems and networks, traditional security technologies may not be able to
meet
the demand for integrated and dynamic security solutions. As a challenging
and
fast-growing research area, trusted computing and communications work to
make
computer/communications systems and networks available, secure, reliable,
and controllable. In general, trust works in three aspects: identity trust,
function trust, and behavior trust. We can view traditional security as
the identity trust, whereas trusted computing and communications also
include
function trust and behavior trust of systems and networks. In fact, trusted
computing and communications have gradually become an essential part of
e-commence
and e-government, including various distributed services, applications, and
systems.

This Special Issue (SI) is proposed in Wiley's Security and Communication
Networks (SCN) Journal
(http://www.interscience.wiley.com/security) to provide a forum in the
community to exchange
the current research activities focusing on analysis, design, and
applications of trusted
computing and communications in various computer/communications systems and
networks.

Topics of Interest

This SI on Trusted Computing and Communications in SCN includes (but not
limited to)
the topics listed as follows:

Semantics, metrics and models of trust
Trust establishment, propagation, and management
Trusted computing platform
Trusted network computing
Trusted operating system
Trusted software
Trusted database
Trusted services and applications
Trust in e-commerce and e-government
Trust in mobile and wireless networks
Cryptography and security protocols
Reliable and fault-tolerant computer systems/networks
Survivable computer systems/networks
Authentication in computer systems/networks
Access control in computer systems/networks
Key management in computer systems/networks
Trust-related security and privacy
Trusted communications

[Tccc] Final CFP: NetDB 2009 (co-located with SOSP 2009)

5th International Workshop on Networking Meets Databases (NetDB 2009)
Co-located with the 22nd ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles
(SOSP) 2009
http://netdb09.cis.upenn.edu/

Scope
The Workshop on Networking Meets Databases (NetDB 2009) will bring
together researchers from the systems and networking community and the
database community. Many current research areas, such as cloud
computing, data-center networking, sensor networks, network management,
or social networks, raise research problems that lie at the boundary
between these two communities. This workshop's goal is to foster an
environment in which researchers from both communities can discuss ideas
that will shape and influence these emerging research areas. We
encourage submissions of early work, with novel and interesting
ideas. We expect that work introduced at NetDB 2009, once fully thought
through, completed, and described in a finished form, may be relevant to
conferences such as SOSP, OSDI, SIGCOMM, SIGMOD, VLDB, NSDI, or ICDE.

For the first time, the workshop will be co-located with the 22nd ACM
Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP) 2009. NetDB will be
held during the afternoon and early evening of Wednesday, October 14th,
2009 immediately succeeding the SOSP conference. Papers will be selected
based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion and
technical merit. The program will include presentation of the papers
along with plenty of time for lively discussion among the participants.

Topics of Interest
This year, NetDB takes a broad view of what constitutes research
relevant to both communities. As a venue for exploring new directions,
NetDB solicits submissions on work that borrows ideas and experiences
from both communities. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:
* Database support for managing large or novel datasets, such as social
* networking data, network management, or data in the cloud.
* Data mining and retrieval in large-scale systems.
* Declarative systems.
* Distributed key/value stores and cluster databases.
* Placement, indexing, caching, and replication techniques for
wide-area storage.
* Design, implementation, and experience with wide-area data management.
* Query planning, execution, and optimization in networked systems.
* Query evaluation using network hardware.
* Cross-layer optimization of databases and networks.
* Archiving and analysis of network and systems data.
* Data privacy and security in networks.

Submission guidelines
Paper submission will not be blind. The submissions will indicate the
names or affiliations of the authors in the paper. Please do not submit
abbreviated versions of journal or conference papers. In particular,
submissions to NetDB must not be concurrent with a substantially similar
submission to a conference or workshop, including condensed versions of
work that has been submitted and is currently under review. Submissions
should not be more than 5 pages in length. Accepted papers may be
subsequently revised, expanded, and submitted to full conferences and
journals.

Important Dates
* Submission deadline for papers June 1, 2009.
* Notification to authors July 10, 2009.
* Camera ready due Aug 10, 2009
* Workshop date Oct 14, 2009

[E-DTN'09] E-DTN '09 CFP: Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks

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

Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN)

Technically Sponsored by IEEE

Dates: TBA
October, 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia
(in conjunction with ICUMT 2009)
[Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/]
************************************************************************

Networking research for challenged environments has attracted
a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have
been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that
currently do not have the opportunity of "going online". Such
environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure.
For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and
deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest.
Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually
infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered
devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making
connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic.
To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with
several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and
energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion.
Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the
difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols
fail permanently.

Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for
routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and
application design for such networks, the IRTF has
focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application
layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to
deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That
said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable
basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a "one-fits-all" protocol
stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all.
In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs
of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate.

This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress
results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption
Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and
criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are
intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs.
Topics include but are not limited to:

- DTN Routing
- Congestion and Storage Congestion Control
- Resource Sharing in DTN environments
- Network Coding techniques for DTNs
- Application Development
- DTN Management Platforms
- Error and Flow Control
- Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds
- Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs
- DTN Simulators and related tools
- Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research
- Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols
- Social Networking through DTNs
- Satellite Constellations and DTNs
- Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture
- DTN Architectures:
-- Satellite Communications
-- Deep-space Communications
-- Underwater Communications
-- Connectivity in Developing Countries
-- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles

IMPORTANT DATES:

Abstract-registration Deadline: June 15, 2009
Paper-submission Deadline: June 20, 2009
