[Tccc] Call for Book Chapters on Autonomic Systems (Proposals Submission Deadline: September 30, 2009)

[Apologies for multiple postings]

CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS

Proposals Submission Deadline: September 30, 2009
Full Chapters Due: January 30, 2010

FORMAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF AUTONOMIC COMPUTING AND NETWORKING:
SPECIFICATION, DEVELOPMENT AND VERIFICATION

A book edited by Phan Cong-Vinh
Centre for Applied Formal Methods
London South Bank University, United Kingdom.

To be published by IGI Global:
http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=699

INTRODUCTION

A new computing and networking paradigm is currently on the spot as one
of the priority research areas and its research activities are booming
recently: autonomic computing and networking (ACN), which are
inspired by the human autonomic nervous system.

ACN are characterized by their self-* facets such as
self-organization, self- configuration, self-healing, self-optimization,
self-protection and so on whose context-awareness used to dynamically
control computing and networking functions.

The overarching goal of ACN is to realize computing and networking
systems, that can manage themselves without direct human interventions.
Meeting this grand challenge of ACN requires a rigorous approach to ACN and
the notion of self-*. To this end, taking advantage of formal methods
we will establish, in this book, formal and practical aspects of ACN
through specifying, refining, programming and verifying ACN and their
self-*. All of these are to achieve foundations and practice of ACN.

>From the above characteristics, novel approaches of specification,
refinement, programming and verification are arising in formal methods for
ACN. Therefore, new methodologies, programming models, tools and techniques
are imperative to deal with the impact of ACN and their self-* mentioned
above on emerging computing and networking systems.

OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK

The proposed book is preferred to be a reference material for readers
who al- ready have a basic understanding of ACN and are now ready to know
how to specify, develop and verify ACN using rigorous approaches. Hence,
theoretical contributions are welcome provided their relevance for how to
specify, develop and verify ACN is clear. Reports on applications are
welcome provided their formal basis is evident. For keeping a reasonable
trade-off between theoretical and practical issues, a careful selection of
the chapters will be done, on the one hand, to cover a broad spectrum of
formal and practical aspects and, on the other hand, to achieve as
much as possible a self-contained book.

Formal and practical aspects will be preferably presented in a
straightforward fashion by discussing in detail the necessary components and
briefly touching on the more advanced components. Therefore, specification,
development and verification demonstrating how to use the formal methods for
ACN will be described by sound judgments and reasonable justifications.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The book is written for researchers, scientists, professionals and students
in com- puter science and computer engineering as well as developers and
practitioners in computing and networking systems design.

New networking protocols
Future Internet architectures

Selected abstracts will be published in the ACM CoNEXT 2009
proceedings and authors will be required to present their work through
a poster session.

---------------------
FORMATTING GUIDELINES
---------------------
Please follow the ACM CoNEXT 2009 Formatting Guidelines
(http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/submission.php)
EXCEPT for the following two differences:

- Paper is limited to TWO (2) pages only. This includes ALL figures,
tables, appendices, etc.

- Please provide only author names and affiliations; it is not necessary
to add PAPER ID and number of pages.

Please submit via: http://conext09.cs.illinois.edu

After having submitted their abstracts, all PhD students will be asked
to
comment 1 - 2 submitted abstracts. This will allow the students to see
the
ongoing research of the others before the workshop to facilitate
discussions
and potential cooperations.

Posters for accepted abstracts should have the following size: DIN A0
(841 x 1189 mm; 33.1 x 46.8 inches). ACM CoNEXT 2009 will provide

[Tccc] update to TCCC endorsement procedures

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi, all,

This is a final update to the revision of the TCCC process for endorsing
meetings. Portions of the previous procedures have been revised as
follows, based on feedback from the Comsoc.

- indicate that we "endorse", rather than are
"technical cosponsor"

- indicate that we require *three* TPC reps, rather than 1

We have been glad to coordinate this with the Comsoc, and note that our
procedures are being considered to suggest some possible revisions to
the Comsoc procedures, notably:

- receive request two months before any due date
current Comsoc is 'in advance of the meeting' only

- allow Comsoc tech cosponsorship without requiring
proceedings in Xplore
current Comsoc process requires Xplore,
this conflicts with, e.g., ACM (and their Dlib)

- encourage the Comsoc to retain indication of which TCs
endorse a meeting, i.e.:
"IEEE Comsoc technical cosponsor, TCCC endorsed"

- reduce the decision turnaround from 6-8 weeks to 3-4 weeks

- reduce the number of reps from 3 (we need only 1)

- indicate that endorsement carries no weight until
Comsoc technical cosponsorship is granted

- additional mechanisms to address post-endorsement
changes to the meeting

These new procedures are now in effect, and will be posted to the TCCC
web pages shortly.

Joe (TCCC Chair)

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

The TCCC endorses meetings in support of IEEE Comsoc technical
cosponsorship. Please see the Comsoc website for their procedures on
applying for Comsoc technical cosponsorship. TCCC reviews applications
for Comsoc technical cosponsorship as a regular part of that process,
but we will also provide early feedback for applicants in advance of
their submitting formally to the Comsoc.

Note that TCCC endorsement by itself is never provided; we provide early
intent to endorse meetings submit through the Comsoc process. TCCC
endorsement must not be indicated until Comsoc technical cosponsorship
has been granted.

Rules for TCCC endorsement:

- - like the Comsoc technical cosponsorship, TCCC endorsement 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 endorsement, nor should they use TCCC or IEEE logos
until endorsement *and* in-cooperation with the Comsoc has been granted

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

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

- - TCCC reiterates the purpose of endorsement, 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 endorsement 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 acceptance rate and acceptance rate
history (where applicable) appropriate to the meeting type

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 three
TPC members to monitor and report back on the above points,
(or shall approve three existing TPC members who are TCCC
members, at the TCCC's discretion)

- - The requirements for submitting a request for TCCC endorsement
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 endorsement is requested

If endorsement is granted to an event, we offer:

- - The meeting may indicate TCCC endorsement ("Endorsed by TCCC") on the
primary meeting web pages, the proceedings, and other promotional
material (e-mails, paper announcements, etc.), **after** the meeting
receives Comsoc in-cooperation status.

- - The meeting site / publications may include the TCCC logo, **after**
the meeting receives Comsoc in-cooperation status.

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

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

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

- - The meeting shall allow for 3 TCCC members on the TPC, to be confirmed
after endorsement is determined. TPC members already in TCCC may, at the
discretion of TCCC, be selected for this purpose. The appointed members
will report back to the TCCC on the paper review process and file a
brief (1 paragraph) report to the email list.

Regarding any changes to a meeting once endorsed:

- - once a TC endorses a meeting, the representatives to that meeting
should be tracking and reporting back on substantive changes to process
or organization (large increase/change in the TPC, large number of
additional side-meetings, etc.)

- - it is understandable to add workshops, tutorials, or other side
meetings after endorsement/support is determined, but these should be
commensurate with being ancillary (side meetings shouldn't overtake the
core meeting goals), and related to the core meeting

If proceedings of the side meetings is intended to be available via
Xplore, that general decision needs to be made at the time of
endorsement/support.

If details of such meetings are known at the time of endorsement, then
the decision of endorsing the meeting will be contingent on endorsing
its side meetings.

If the details of such meetings are to be decided post
endorsement, then the TCCC reserves the right to decide on
endorsement of side meetings on a per-side-meeting basis, and the
endorsement of the core meeting is made agreeing to this right.

Any changes that result in Comsoc withdrawal of technical cosponsorship
will result in TCCC withdrawal of endorsement. Any changes that result
in TCCC withdrawal of endorsement will result in a report to the Comsoc
and recommendation that they withdraw technical cosponsorship.

[Tccc] EMBS @ ACM SAC 2010 - submission deadline approaching

[apologies for cross-postings]

25th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
Sierre, Switzerland, March 22-26 2010
http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2010

CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE SPECIAL TRACK:

*------------------------------------------*
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Applications, Solutions, and Techniques

http://www.ing.unipi.it/sac10
*------------------------------------------*

*The submission deadline is approaching:*
*September 8th, 2009*

Higher and higher computing power is demanded by CPU-enabled devices
currently used in everyday life. Embedded systems are nowadays present
in an impressive number of different applications, from consumer
electronics to biomedical systems, and the success of their employment
is often determined by their functionality/cost ratio. Embedded software
has recently developed towards new complexity levels, posing new
challenging issues: the adoption of further flexible programming
paradigms/architectures is becoming almost mandatory, taking also into
account the multithreaded structure required to adequately exploit
possible multicore CPUs. Nonetheless, the market pressure calls for the
employment of new methodologies for shortening the development time and
for driving the evolution of existing products. New efficient solutions
to problems emerging in this setting can be put into action by means of
a joint effort of academia and industry.

Design of embedded systems must take into account a wide variety of
constraints: performance, code size, power consumption, presence of
real-time tasks, maintainability, security and possibly scalability: the
more convenient trade-off has to be found, often operating on a large
number of different parameters. In this scenario, solutions can be
proposed at different levels of abstraction, making use of an assortment
of tools and methodologies: researchers and practitioners have a chance
to propose new ideas and to compare experimentations.

The focus of this conference track is on the application of both novel
and well-known techniques to the embedded systems development.
Particular attention is paid to solutions that require expertise in
different fields (e.g. computer architecture, OS, compilers, security,
software engineering, simulation).

The track will benefit also from direct experiences in the employment of
embedded devices in "unconventional" application areas, so to show up
new challenges in the system design/development process. In this
setting, researchers and practitioners from academia and industry will
get a chance to keep in touch with problems, open issues and future
directions in the field of development of dedicated applications for
embedded systems.

*------------------------------------------*
Topics of Interest
*------------------------------------------*

* Methodologies and tools for design-space exploration
* Simulation techniques for embedded systems

[Tccc] CFP: IEEE UbiSafe-09

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this Call For Paper.

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

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 2nd IEEE International Symposium on Ubisafe Computing (UbiSafe-09)
Chengdu, China, December 12-14, 2009
http://cs.okstate.edu/ubisafe09/

Author Notification: Sep. 30, 2009
Final Manuscript Due: Oct. 15, 2009

SYMPOSIUM INFORMATION:

Computers are now available anytime, anywhere, by different means, and
distributed unobtrusively throughout the everyday environments in which
physical objects/artifacts embedded with invisible computers are sensible
and networked locally and globally. Such "any" computers open tremendous
opportunities to provide numerous novel services/applications in both real
world and cyber spaces, and exist ubiquitously in our daily life, working,
learning, traveling, entertainment, medicine, etc. Although it is yet
unclear what exactly the real-cyber integrated worlds would be, there is
no doubt that they must be safe.

UbiSafe emphasizes the SAFE aspects for ubiquitous, pervasive, AmI,
mobile, universal, embedded, wearable, augmented, invisible, hidden,
context-aware, sentient, proactive, autonomic, or whatever it is called,
computing. UbiSafe computing is focused on theories and technologies for
ubiquitous artifacts to function safely for different purposes; for
ubiquitous systems to work safely in various situations; and for
ubiquitous environments to behave safely with all people. A series of
challenges exist to let people benefit from ubiquitous services, and
simultaneously guarantee their safety in making ubiquitous safe
artifacts, systems, and environments.

The UbiSafe-09 Symposium provides a forum for engineers and
scientists in academia, industry, and government to address all safety
related profound challenges including technical, social, legal and ethical
issues, and to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies,
systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experience on all

Why should you participate in this workshop?

Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet
very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers
from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal
platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and
strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and
practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final
program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer
reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new
ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions
of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other
conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must represent original material that is not
currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not
been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page
technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in a .pdf or
.ps format to the EDAS paper submission website. A separate cover
sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and
affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax)
to which the correspondence should be sent. All accepted papers will
be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author of
accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate.

Purpose of this workshop
The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many
interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also
brought many challenges for the communication and networking community
to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable
of providing many services that required several devices before. For
example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access,
still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in
device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless
hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With
increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we
have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body
Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied
meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other
hand the Internet has changed our way
of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are
having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth
considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle.
Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we
seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home
networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one
platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication
networks.

The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the
personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled
controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities
are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the
persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the
Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a
prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is
strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must
behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to
its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope
that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active
participation. Such a platform enables many new applications,
especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that
often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide
the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are
numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network
community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from
the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the
dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology
of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the
heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies.
Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures,
protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of
addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the
self-organization of the network, the localization of the
devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the
offering of context aware services and service management.

Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad
hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to
be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict
requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models,
usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness,
availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust.

[Tccc] CFP: Intelligent Agents in Sensor Networks and Sensor Web 2009

CALL FOR PAPER:
Intelligent Agents in Sensor Networks and Sensor Web 2009
— A workshop of the 12th International Conference on Principles of Practice in Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA 2009)
Nagoya, Japan, 13/12/2009

http://research.ict.csiro.au/conferences/iasnw/iasnw2009 <http://research.ict.csiro.au/conferences/iasnw/iasnw2009>

http://www.prima2009.org/ <http://www.prima/>

Wireless sensor networks are potentially the most important technology of this century. The advancement of Internet technology and abundance sensor deployment has enabled to gather real-time information from anywhere. Since the need of the information varies from user to user, querying and publishing relevant information from heterogeneous data sources across various spatio-temporal scales is a challenging task. This is one of the hindrances for macro scale sensing. Sensor Web is a concept that supports macroscale sensing with web-enabled heterogeneous sensors. The agent paradigm may play a key role to scale the localised wireless sensor network to the sensor web. However, there are some challenges that need to be addressed from both the wireless sensor networks and sensor web perspective to make it a reality. Researchers and practitioners have identified applications like environmental monitoring, health monitoring and urban scale pollution control as key applications for sensor web, we have yet to see the promise of interoperable applications to really make intelligent sensor web a reality.

IASNW 2009 is the international workshop on advances in theory, systems, and applications of agent techniques in sensor networks to make sensor web a reality. It is a full day workshop run in conjunction with the 2009 International Conference on Principles of Practice in Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA 2009) in Nagoya, Japan. The aim of this workshop is to encourage activities in this field, and to bring together world-wide researchers from academia, industry and government agencies with an interest to apply agent technology in wireless sensor networks and sensor web.

Topics of the workshop
The workshop is interdisciplinary in nature, and will address but is not limited to the following major topics:

Use of intelligent agents in sensor webs
Agent-based architecture for wireless sensor networks
Interoperability issues using an agent paradigm
Agent paradigm for managing sensor data in a sensor web
Agent based context and situation awareness systems
Agent-based middleware for sensor networks
Agent based resource management and energy efficient design
Agent framework for intelligent decision support system
The Call for papers is available in pdf format for distribution

Paper submission
Authors are invited to submit papers that are original and unpublished in areas of agent technologies to enable sensor web. The paper should be written in English and format should comply with PRIMA 2009 submission guidelines. The paper should be submitted electronically through EasyChair system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iasnw2009 <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iasnw2009> ). Each paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers and feedback will be provided for all the submitted papers.
