Call for Papers:
ACM CCS Workshop on Assurable & Usable Security Configuration
(SafeConfig)
http://www.arc.cs.depaul.edu/~ehab/ccs/safeconfig09/

co-located with the
16th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) 2009
===================================================================
Important Dates:

Abstract Registration 6/26
Submission 6/29
Notification 8/10
Camera Ready 8/18

===================================================================
Sponsors: ACM SIGSAC, NSF

A typical enterprise network might have hundreds of security devices
such as firewalls, IPSec gateways, IDS/IPS, authentication servers,
authorization/RBAC servers and crypto systems. These must be logically
integrated into a security architecture satisfying security goals at
and across multiple networks. Logical integration is accomplished by
consistently setting thousands of configuration variables and rules on
the devices. The configuration must be constantly adapted to optimize
protection and block prospective attacks. The configuration must be
tuned to balance security with usability. These challenges are
compounded by the deployment of mobile devices and ad hoc networks.
The resulting security configuration complexity places a heavy burden
on both regular users and experienced administrators and dramatically
reduces overall network assurability and usability. For example, a
December 2008 report from Center for Strategic and International
Studies "Securing Cyberspace for the 44th Presidency" states that
"inappropriate or incorrect security configurations … were responsible
for 80% of Air Force vulnerabilities" and a May 2008 report from
Juniper Networks "What is Behind Network Downtime?" states that "human
factors … [are] responsible for 50 to 80 percent of network device
outages".

The fist event of this workshop was invitation-only and sponsored by
NSF to promote research in this area. This workshop has an open call
for paper and aims to bring together academic as well as industry
researchers to exchange experiences, discuss challenges and propose
solutions for offering assurable and usable security. This workshop is
an open call for submission workshop will consist of presentations and
panel discussions on the following topics:

===================================================================
Topics

* Integrating network and host configuration
* Automated forensics and mitigation
* Metrics for measuring assurability and usability: Usable security
often involves trade offs between security or privacy and
usability/utility
* Abstract models and languages for configuration specification
* Configuration refinement and enforcement
* Configuration of MANETS and coalition networks
* Formal semantics of security policies
* Configuration testing, debugging and evaluation
* Reasoning about uncertainly in configuration management
* Representation of belief, trust, and risk in security policies
* Configuration/misconfiguration visualization
* Configuration reasoning and conflict analysis
* Risk adaptive configuration systems
* Context-aware security configuration for pervasive and mobile
computing
* Configuration accountability
* Automated signature and patch management
* Automated alarm management
* Protecting the privacy and integrity of security configuration
* Optimizing security, flexibility and performance
* Measurable metric of flexibility and usability
* Design for flexibility and manageability – clean slate approach
* Configuration management vs. least-privilege

===================================================================
Papers must present original work and must be written in English. We
require that the authors use the ACM format for papers, using one of
the ACM SIG Proceeding Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
). We solicit two types of papers, regular papers and position papers.
The length of the regular papers in the proceedings format should not
exceed 8 US letter pages, excluding well-marked appendices. Committee
members are not required to read the appendices, so papers must be
intelligible without them. Position papers may not exceed 4 pages.
Papers are to be submitted electronically as a single PDF file.
Further submission details will be available on-line. The accepted
papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and the ACM
Digital Library

[Tccc] update to TCCC in-cooperation procedures - DISCUSSION OPEN

Hi, all,

As presented at the TCCC meeting at Infocom in April, the TCCC officers
would like to suggest we clarify the current procedures for obtaining
in-cooperation status.

The current procedures are informal; there are no specific guidelines in
TCCC. There are basic principles in the IEEE Comsoc procedures (as noted
below) which we would like to reinforce and augment.

Please post comments to the list on this proposal. The period of
discussion will last three weeks (ending July 1), at which time we will
summarize consensus, if any, and determine how to proceed.

Joe (TCCC chair, on behalf of the TCCC officers)

--------------------------------
Rules for TCCC technical cosponsorship:

- like the Comsoc, TCCC technical cosponsorship is granted to events on
a per-instance basis; repeated events (e.g., of a series) must reapply
for each new instance

- like the Comsoc, TCCC does not permit meetings to identify themselves
as "pending" TCCC technical cosponsorship, nor should they use TCCC or
IEEE logos until sponsorship has been granted

- like the Comsoc, TCCC expects requests for cosponsorship to be made in
sufficient advance of the meeting.

- TCCC technical cosponsorship is intended for meetings whose primary
focus is computer communications (including meetings bridging computer
communications with disparate fields)

- TCCC reiterates the purpose of technical cosponsorship, which, as
noted on the Comsoc sponsorship application, include:

"The endorsement helps to ensure that the technical program falls within
the committee's scope, that there is a quality, independent peer review
process for paper selection, and that three members of the ComSoc TC
will be active members of the event's technical program committee."

As a result, TCCC determines responses to requests for technical
cosponsorship based on the following criteria:

a) the meeting is in-scope for TCCC

b) that the meeting has a peer review process in which
every submission* receives at least three substantive
and independent reviews

*excepting only those declined due to process (format, late,
etc.) or scope (widely out of scope, or widely out of context
for a technical meeting)

b) the meeting has an appropriate TPC

c) the meeting is demonstrably non-profit

d) the meeting has an appropriate acceptance rate and acceptance
rate history

e) the request is made in advance of all aspects of the meeting
TCCC shall specifically require the application be received at
least two months prior to the deadline for the initial due date
for responses to the call for participation for any part of the
meeting (papers, posters, panel chairs, track/symposium topics,
tutorials, etc.)

f) TCCC shall be permitted to select or appoint one TPC member
to monitor and report back on the above points

- The requirements for submitting a request for TCCC technical
cosponsorship consists of sending a copy of the following information to
any TCCC officer:

- date and location information
- info on the two most recent meetings
number of submissions
accept rate (percent accepted)
amount of time on reviewed submissions vs other
i.e., invited papers, speakers, panels
number of reviews per paper
- names, affiliations, and locale of the following:
general chair
program chair
TPC members
- description of the focus of the meeting
(1 paragraph or a draft call for papers)
- description of the components of the meeting
i.e., fraction of the meeting time on each of:
reviewed submissions
invited submissions
panels
invited speakers
co-located workshops, demos, etc.
- description of the review process
number of reviewers, paper length, approx.
intended acceptance rate
- description of the budget overheads of the meeting
i.e., non-profit status, extent of support
to parent/sponsoring entity
- brief description of why TCCC sponsorship is requested

If technical cosponsorship is granted to an event, we offer:

- The meeting may indicate TCCC Technical Co-Sponsorship on the primary
meeting web pages, the proceedings, and other promotional material
(e-mails, paper announcements, etc.)

- The meeting site / publications may include the TCCC logo

- TCCC will cross-list info on the meeting on our web pages, and note
our endorsement at our meetings

During the period of TCCC technical cosponsorship of an event, we expect
the following:

- The meeting shall notify the TCCC on any significant changes to info
provided in the sponsorship application (at which point sponsorship will
be reviewed)

- The meeting shall allow for 1 TCCC member on the TPC, to be determined
after sponsorship is determined. TPC members already in TCCC may, at the
discretion of TCCC, be selected for this purpose. The appointed member
will report back to the TCCC on the paper review process and file a
brief (1 paragraph) report to the email list.

IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies 2009 (WMCNT09)

Call for Papers

http://wmcnt09.ntua.gr/

Dates: 12-14 October 2009, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Important Dates

Paper submission June 23, 2009

Notification of acceptance July 25, 2009 Camera ready version paper
submission/Author Registration August 15, 2009

Scope

The first IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking

Technologies 2009 (WMCNT09) will take place in conjunction with the IEEE

International Conference on Ultra Modern Telecommunications (ICUMT 2009) to
be held

in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October 2009. The workshop will be a day long
event.

This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two events covering a
wide range

of research in mobile computing and ultra modern wireless communications.

Overview

The new social, economic and technological trends having evolved worldwide
such as

the increasing demand for productivity and effectiveness with the pressure
to

respond immediately to customer requirements have created increased need for
access

to information anywhere in the world at anytime. Considering the present

telecommunication environment, which is an amalgamation of a large number of

networks and administrative domains employing various access technologies,
combined

with the increased user mobility makes it difficult to promise the same
grade of

service quality at all parts of the network. The convergence of information

communications technology and computing is creating new demands and
opportunities

for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without
technological

restrictions.

The demanding networking environment of wireless communications imposes
several

challenges in terms of network design, channel estimation, propagation and
radio

resource management offering a variety of high quality multimedia
applications.

Overcoming these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform
spectrum

allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns,
the

scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of
wireless

links, and user mobility.

The first IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking

Technologies 2009 (WMCNT09) serves as an open forum intending to promote
discussion

and bring together researchers, developers and engineers in both academia
and

industry to exchange ideas and to submit novel unpublished works about
architecture,

design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in
mobile

and ubiquitous computing environments. The main purpose is to encourage
research for

ultra modern wireless communication.

Workshop Topics

Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the
following, but

not limited to, topic areas:

QoS in wireless/mobile systems

End-to-End QoS

Mobility management in wireless networks

Modeling analysis and simulation

Wireless access techniques

CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
International Workshop on Connectivity and Service Provisioning in the Regions with Emerging Network Infrastructure (CSPRENI)

October 12 - 14, 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia

http://crg.ee.uct.ac.za/cspreni/

Technically sponsored by IEEE Communications Society
Co-located with the International Conference on Ultra Modern Telecommunications (ICUMT)
http://www.icumt.org/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW:

As the deployment of Internet and mobile data services in developed economies reaches saturation point, emerging economies are offering tremendous growth opportunities for global operators and hardware manufacturers. Most of the emerging regions are characterized by the markedly scarcer levels of data and voice communication network infrastructure in comparison with the developed regions. At the same time the growth rates of telecommunication service users (e.g., mobile telephony) are often enormously high. In the future, introduction of new value-added multimedia services over a ubiquitous IP-based network architecture is envisaged to sharply boost the demand for low-cost connectivity with assured quality of service (QoS) and quality of end-user experience (QoE). The deployment of these services faces a number of technological, marketing and regulatory challenges inherent to the developing regions.

The aim of the CSPRENI workshop is to bring together a group of experts from Academia and Industry, who are involved in the research and implementation of telecommunication system solutions for developing regions and would be interested in sharing ideas, results and experiences with other participants, encouraging future collaboration.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST:

Original contributions addressing networking architectures and service provisioning in the developing regions are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- deployment and operation of inexpensive broadband wireless access systems
- fixed and wireless mesh networks
- interworking heterogeneous wireless/wireline networks
- admission control and resource management in heterogeneous networks
- delay-tolerant and intermittent networking protocols
- QoS-aware routing
- capacity, throughput and outage optimization
- aggregation and sharing of Internet traffic
- content-based networking: caching, distribution, load balancing, resiliency
- self-protecting network architectures and protocol design
- IMS deployments over heterogeneous network infrastructures
- QoS interfaces to the transport network in IMS
- QoS provisioning for multimedia services
- development of killer applications and services for emerging regions
- innovative user interfaces
- AAA, pricing and billing
- innovative business models for data communications and services
- network operations and management
- test-bed and prototype implementation

[Tccc] CFP: Wireless Sensor Network for Infrastructural Monitoring (ITSC'09, Deadline: June 30)

(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of the CFP)

Call for Papers for

*******************************************************************************
Special Session on Intelligent Structural Health and Safety Monitoring for
the

12th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems
********************************************************************************

October 4-7, 2009 in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A.

Deadline Extended: June 30, 2009 (No further extension will be given)

Using advanced sensor and wireless communication technology, the health and
safety of much of today's critical infrastructure (e.g., bridges, roads,
tunnels, and buildings) can be continuously, autonomously, and remotely
monitored to streamline maintenance efforts and provide early warning of
pending hazards (e.g., structural fatigue, icing conditions, floods, and
fire). These cost-effective systems allow for long-term continuous
monitoring, instead of occasional human inspection, thus providing immediate
detection of potential problems before they become major catastrophes. This
workshop will provide an overview of ongoing research in this emerging area,
including, but not limited to, the development of intelligent sensors,
instrumentation and devices for infrastructure monitoring, wireless sensor
networks, energy harvesting systems, structure reliability analysis, and
modeling, simulation, and implementation of infrastructure monitoring
systems.

[Tccc] CFP - Hindawi International Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting

===================================================================
Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP
===================================================================

Dear Colleagues,

Please find below the call for papers of the Hindawi International Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, special issue on *IP and Broadcasting Systems Convergence.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for papers:
*

In order to achieve access and core network interworking and service
ubiquity within the vision of the Internet of the Future, IP arises as a
key element for the realization of a unified/fusion environment which
enables the convergence/synergy between traditional and emerging
technologies. In this context, IP can be also seen as the "gluing
factor" in the rapidly progressing convergence between the
technologically different sectors of /networking/ and /broadcasting/.
This convergence, witnessed both at technological and service levels, is
mainly empowered by the evolution of broadcasting standards (DVB, ISDB,
ATSC, CMMB) and the recent advances in IP networking.

In this way, a broadcasting platform is no longer restricted to
transmitting 'bouquets' of TV programs. The ability to include IP
services into the broadcast multiplex, along with the large coverage
area and the high bit rate capabilities, allows broadcasting systems to
constitute flexible broadband IP networking infrastructures,
complementing existing and emerging wireless access networks such as 3G,
WiMAX, and LTE. Conversely, the provision of broadcast TV services over
IP networks and over the Internet is further fading the borders between
the IP/networking and broadcast worlds.

The aim of this special issue is to attract state-of-the-art
contributions focusing on the convergence between the IP and
broadcasting systems, that is, the provision of IP services over
broadcasting platforms and vice versa; the streaming of A/V broadcasting
services over IP networks. Areas of interest include, but are not
limited to:

* Broadband IP access over DVB, ISDB, CMMB, ATSC, DMB, MediaFLO
* Satellite-based access networks
* IPv4/IPv6 encapsulation and transport
* Broadcast TV and radio over IP
* Security and quality of service
* Architectural and design aspects
* Interaction channel technologies
* Cross-layer optimization
* IP datacast issues and ESG
* IPTV over broadcasting systems
* Social television and novel services
* Business aspects and standardization activities
* Regulatory issues
* Digital dividend and exploitation for broadband IP access

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's
Author Guidelines, which are located at

DEADLINE APPROACHING - June, 15th!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First International Workshop on Agent-Based Social Simulation and
Autonomic
Systems (ABSS@Autonomics 2009)

to be held at the Third International ICST Conference on Autonomic
Computing
Communication Systems (Autonomics 2009)

9th-11th September
Limassol, Cyprus
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ABSS@Autonomic 2009 (http://tinyurl.com/ABSS-AS2009) workshop
aims to promote collaboration between the fields of agent-based social
simulation (ABSS)
and the field of Autonomic Systems, bringing together researchers from
both fields
and community.

The focus of Autonomic systems is on the management of pervasive,
context-aware
services offered by the large amount of electronic devices embedded
into everyday
objects and interfacing with the surrounding environment, whose
complex connections
call for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for
obtaining
purposeful systems; while the focus of ABSS is on simulating social
behaviors in order
to understand real social systems (human, animal and even electronic)
in a generative
and theory-based way.

The complexity hidden in the dynamic large-scale networks and services
that constitute the focus of Autonomic systems requires autonomous
self-management; this is a concept typical of agent based systems. In
addition, these systems cannot be studied in isolation: they are
intrinsically social. Hence all autonomic systems can benefit by being
studied through ABSS, which is based on agent autonomy and sociality.

We aim to address the following areas (not limited):

(1) General issues
- Agency and Autonomy
- Simulation environment modeling
- Standards for simulators
- Self-organization
- Scalability
- Robustness
- Methodologies and techniques that link ABSS and Autonomic Systems

(2) Autonomics issues
- Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems
- Agent simulation of embedded electronic devices
- Agent simulation of technology innovation
- Pervasive and autonomic computing and its innovation
- Management and understanding of complex systems
- Autonomous self-management of dynamic large-scale networks and
services
- Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues
- Resource, network and service (self) management
- Enabling technologies for pervasive environments

(3) ABSS issues
- Formal and agent-based models of social behavior and social order
- Reputation, gossip, uncertainty and trust
- Social structures and norms
- Cognitive modeling and social simulation
- The emergence of cooperation and coordinated action
- Agent-based experimental economics
- Simulation of web 2.0 and collaborative filtering

CALL FOR PAPERS

Objectives

In the past few years, there has been a renewed worldwide interest in
future Internet architectures, leading to early-stage research programs
such as NSF FIND/GENI in the US, FP7 in Europe and NWGN in Japan.
The objective of these R&D programs is to evolve or re-architect the
Internet protocol to improve security and usability, incorporate new
optical and wireless technologies and better serve the next generation
of content, mobile and pervasive network services. The International
Workshop on the Network of the Future (FutureNet) is a platform for both
evolutionary and clean-slate approaches for redesign of the Internet.
The event will uniquely bring together approaches driven by mobile and
wireless requirements, network virtualization, network self-management,
content and sensor networking and discuss these from both a technical as
well as socio-economic perspective.

Topics of Interest

The workshop invites contributions that report early results addressing
research challenges on topics related to the network of the future. The
organizers seek to identify and address issues with potential for
significant impact on the design and use of the future Internet. The
workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners -
fresh ideas in the form of early results, position papers, systems
papers and prototyping experience are particularly welcome.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

- Re-design and re-evaluation of today's architectural principles
- End-to-end virtualization of the network
- Programmable network equipment such as routers
- Alternatives to established technologies such as routing
- New optical layer networking technologies
- Self-management of networks
- New media-aware transport services
- New approaches to network security and user privacy
- Mechanisms to interconnect extremely heterogeneous edge networks
- Technology based on new communication paradigms
- Enabling technologies for the Internets of Things
- Machine-to-machine networking

RNDM 2009 General Chair

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

OVERVIEW:
Communication networks spanning large areas are subject to frequent
failures, mostly being unintentional. The reasons include natural
disasters, as well as human errors. However, many failures are now often
the result of intentional interruptions, also referred to as malicious
attacks. Network operators thus need their networks to be reliable. One of the means towards assuring the certain level of service reliability is to make the networks survivable, i.e. capable of providing the continuous service in the presence of failures.

WORKSHOP TOPICS:
The topics cover, but are not necessarily limited to the following:
- wired/wireless network survivability,
- optical networks survivability,
- models and algorithms of survivable networks design and modeling,
- methods for measurement, evaluation, or validation of survivability,
- role of redundancy in survivable networks,
- design of dedicated/shared backup paths, p-cycles and other
structures,
- impact of detection accuracy and latency on survivability,
- fast service recovery,
- service resilience differentiation,
- theory and methods of reliability and availability,
- fault management and control in survivable networks,
- multilayer network survivability,
- survivability under traffic grooming in multilayer networks,
- coordination of multilayer survivability operations,
- restoration strategies under different types of failures,
- modeling malicious behaviour or attacks on networks,
- use of self-healing techniques in surviving attacks,
- self-regenerative networks.

PAPER SUBMISSION:
Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS (following the ICUMT 2009 link), or the direct link:
http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7697&track=7237
The total length of a paper should not exceed 6 pages formatted
according to the IEEE instructions "Template and Instructions on How to

issues such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability;
- to identify and promote new areas of research connected with security
management (e.g. dynamic and mobile coalition management, P2P, MANETs,
Web/GRID services);
- to identify and promote new areas of research connected with trust
management (e.g., reputation, recommendation, and collaboration);
- to provide a platform for presenting and discussing emerging ideas and
trends.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- access control

The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case
studies, and implementation experiences. We encourage submissions
discussing the application and deployment of security technologies in
practice.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 12 pages in ENTCS
style format (using the generic template), including the bibliography
and well-marked appendices. Committee members are not required to read the
appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them.
Submissions are to be made to the submission web site (to be announced).
Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines
risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be
received by the deadline of June 21, 2009. Authors of accepted papers must
guarantee that their papers will be presented at the workshop. Accepted
papers will be published in a post-workshop ENTCS volume.

the Industry.
With the explosive proliferation of mobile communication and computing
devices, the scalability property is becoming an increasingly popular
issue in wireless communication research, as it has been recognized as
one of the key features for supporting pervasive networking scenarios.
The scalability concept involves several dimensions, like the node
number, the data load, the user/application number, etc, and it is the
basis to break up the cellular concept enriching it by multi hop
communications.
The workshop will focus on fundamental challenges and issues in the
fields of scalable ad hoc and sensor networks, and it will highlight the
newest trends in this emerging area.

- congestion, scheduling and admission control
- routing, broadcasting and multicasting protocols
- transport-layer protocols for SASN
- data transportation, dissemination, aggregation, replication and
management
- resource allocation, discovery and management
- context and location-aware services
- power-aware architectures, algorithms and protocols design
- security and privacy
- Quality of Service (QoS) and fairness provisioning
- cross-layer design and optimization
- joint source-channel coding and asymptotic scalability
- integration of ad hoc/sensor networks with infrastructure-based networks
- information-theoretic analysis of ad hoc/sensor networks

[Tccc] CFP: Special Session on Next Generation Communication Services, in ACM Mobility Conference 2009, Nice, Deadline 12 June 2009

Apologize if you received multiple copies of this CFP.

========================================================================
CALL FOR PAPER
Special Session on Next Generation Communication Services
2-4 Sept. 2009, Nice, France
in Mobility Conference 2009
http://www.acmmobility2009.org/
========================================================================

*** SCOPE ***
In a user perspective, communication services are evolving from
monolithic teleservices (e.g. telephony) into fragmented and
component-based service (e.g. PoC, messaging) that are aware of the
context of the user. At the same time, networks are evolving towards NGN
architecture that enables network convergence by providing ubiquitous
and unified services through heterogeneous fixed (xDSL, cable) and
wireless broadband access networks (e.g. WiMAX/WiBro, WiFi, 3G, LTE). In
a technical perspective, communications services are facing major
technical evolutions with SIP, IMS, NGN, and P2P Overlay Networks. The
stakes for communication services providers are thus to adapt services
to flexible usages through flexible service architectures, relying on
re-usable components and structured with common models. The purpose of
this special session is to present and to discuss new paradigms,
mechanisms and applications of Next Generation Communication Services.
It offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange
their research ideas. This special session will be held in conjunction
with ACM Mobility Conference 2009, an ideal vehicle for bringing
together researchers, scientists, engineers, academics and students all
around the world to share the latest updates on new mobile technologies
that would shape the next generation of mobile systems and technology
platforms. It is co-sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE.

*** TOPICS ***
The main topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Service modeling and service architectures
- Service enablers and autonomic services
- Next Generation service discovery and service access
- Internet of Services, Internet of Things, Smart Spaces
- User Generated Services, service creation, and service composition
- Service overlays, P2P architectures and services
- Social networking
- Context-awareness and user context for communication services
- Multimedia services over wireline and wireless networks, mobile
Internet services

[Tccc] ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems: Spl Issue on Foraging Theory based Optimization Algorithms

Call for Papers

ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems: Special Issue on Foraging Theory based Optimization Algorithms

Aim and Scope

Foraging means the act of searching for food and it forms an integral part of the daily life of most of the living creatures. Natural organisms forage in such a way as to maximize their energy intake per unit time. In other words, they strive to find, capture, and consume food containing the most calories while expending the least amount of time possible in doing so. Thus, considering all the constraints presented by their own physiology such as sensing and cognitive capabilities, environment (e.g. density of prey, risks from predators, and physical characteristics of the search space) etc., the natural foraging strategy that these organisms follow, can lead to optimization.

Inspired by the conceptions emerging from foraging theory and sometimes based on their wide generalizations, in recent past, a handful of algorithms have been developed for solving nearly intractable numerical and combinatorial optimization problems in engineering. Most prominent among them are the Ant Systems (AS) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO), and the algorithms based on bees social foraging. They have recently been shown to produce superior results in a wide variety of real-world applications. Some of the algorithms even use the concept of foraging in much more general sense, e.g. human beings forage for information, musician forage for a perfect state of harmony of the notes being played (E.g. the Harmony Search Algorithm).

During the last five years, research on and with the foraging-based optimization techniques like ACO, BFOA, Bees Foraging, Artificial Bee Colony etc. has reached a very promising state. But there is still a long way to go in order to fully utilize the potential of the artificial foraging algorithms. This special issue aims at bringing researchers from academia and industry together to report and review the latest progresses in this rapidly emerged field, to explore future directions of research, and to publicize the foraging based algorithms and metaheuristics to a wider audience

Topics Covered

Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished work in the areas including (but not limited to) the following:

1) Theoretical and empirical study of foraging based algorithms like: The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), The Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA),    Honey Bee Social Foraging Algorithms, Simulated       Waggle Dance, Adaptive Bird Flocking Algorithm, Harmony Search (HS) with special emphasis on mathematical modeling and dynamical analysis for investigating issues like convergence, stability, and robustness.

2) Connections to / comparison with other powerful swarm and evolutionary computing algorithms like Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithms, Differential Evolution etc.

3) Development, benchmarking, and evaluation of new foraging based algorithms.

4) Parameter automation and self-adaptation in foraging based optimization techniques

5) Foraging theory based algorithms for optimization in dynamic and noisy environments

6) Foraging theory based algorithms for constrained, niching and multi-objective optimization

7) Applications to diverse domains including: Swarm robotics, Adaptive and optimal control, Optimal dynamics resource allocation problems, Distributed control of uninhabited autonomous vehicles, Fuzzy/neural controller design for nonlinear systems, Training artificial neural networks for pattern recognition, Clustering and Classification, Forming manufacturing cells, Optimal scheduling of jobs for a production machine, Telecommunication network routing and network optimization, Financial prediction, Econometrics, and Business Intelligence, Generalized assignment problems, Power Systems, Robust multi-agent system design.

Interactive Entertainment is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. In 1996, the U.S. entertainment software industry reported $2.6 billion in sales revenue; this figure has more than tripled in 2007, yielding $9.5 billion in revenues. In addition, gamers, the target market for interactive entertainment products, are now reaching beyond the traditional 8-34 old male target demographic to include women, Hispanics, and African Americans. This pattern has been observed in several markets, including Japan, China, Korea, and India. Thus, interactive entertainment is becoming part of our everyday life, impacting our thinking, society and culture in many ways.

ACE has become the leading academic forum for dissemination of novel research results in the area of entertainment computing. This year for the first time it incorporates DIMEA which has established itself over the last three years as a strong conference on interactive entertainment arts. Together the conference forms an exciting new step blending deeply the latest research in art and technology.

[Tccc] MobiWorld 2010 Call for Paper

=============================== MobiWorld 2010 Call for Paper
============================================
The Second 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).

== 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.

Objectives of Workshop

Optical networks are high-capacity telecommunications networks based on optical technologies and components that provide routing, grooming, and restoration at the wavelength level as well as wavelength-based services. As networks face increasing bandwidth demand and diminishing fiber availability, network providers are moving towards a crucial milestone in network evolution-'The optical network'. Optical networks, based on the emergence of the optical layer in transport networks, provide higher capacity and reduced costs for new applications such as the Internet, video and multimedia interaction, and advanced digital services.

The rapid growth of information technologies has brought tremendous opportunities for data sharing, integration, and analysis across multiple distributed, heterogeneous data sources. A growing attention has been paid to the study, development and application of data security. Nevertheless, dependability aspects in these applications such as availability, reliability, and integrity, privacy, and security issues are still being investigated. Furthermore, the complexity of security increases as different sources of information are combined.

The goals of this workshop are to bring together users, engineers and researchers (from industry and academia) alike to present their recent work, discuss and identify problems, synergize different views of techniques and policies, and brainstorm future research directions on various aspects of optical networks and data security.
