The rapid developments in networking and resource integration domains have
resulted in the emergence of distributed computing models such as Web
Services, P2P, Grid and Cloud computing for solving very complex problems.
However, biology has developed effective solutions to hard engineering
challenges through millions of years of evolution. Several algorithms and
techniques widely used in Computer Science have been adapted from, or
inspired by, known biological phenomena. Computer scientists applying
biomimetics can learn by observing nature and adopting biological approaches
in the aforementioned distributed computing models.

The focus of BioAdcom2010 is on identifying the role that bio-inspired
computing can play in the progress of computing and communications systems,
in highlighting productive areas of research and in pinpointing precise
application areas. Manuscripts unfolding mathematical models, algorithms,
protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of advanced
computing and communications techniques that are inspired by and derived
from biological systems are solicited for this workshop. Submitted papers

[Tccc] CFP: Special Session on Scalable Adaptive Multicast in P2P Overlays - DEADLINE EXTENDED

CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE EXTENDED TO AUGUST 31

Special Session on Scalable Adaptive Multicast in P2P Overlays

IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference 2011

Jan 9 - 12, 2011 * Las Vegas, NV, USA

www.ieee-ccnc.org

The emergence of peer-to-peer networking enables new applications that
require efficient multicast communication. These applications include
peercasting of multimedia streams, multi-party conferencing, multi-player
games, and group chat. Many consumer applications of multicasting involve
small groups of users, and future P2P multicast
services could need to support millions of simultaneous groups.

Due to delayed deployment of native multicast, various end-system,
application layer (ALM) and overlay multicast ( OM ) designs have been
proposed. In the future, these protocols are expected to coexist and
integrate with native IP multicast protocols while offering more flexible
deployment options and scaling to support a greater number of
simultaneous multicast groups.

The goal of this special session is to provide a forum for engineers,
architects, and researchers to share knowledge and innovation in hybrid
P2P multicast techniques. We solicit papers covering various topics of
interest that include (but are not limited to) the following:

- Peer-to-peer overlays with multicast support

- Small group multicasting

- Explicit multicasting

- Application Layer Multicast (ALM)

- Hybrid multicasting architectures

- Comparitive analysis of ALM and OM architectures

- Scalable integration of QoS mechanisms

- Methods for group formation and discovery that scale to large
numbers of groups

- Support for highly dynamic group membership

Authors are invited to submit regular technical papers or position papers.
The position papers should present novel technologies at an early stage of
development or share future vision. All submissions should describe
original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by
another conference or journal. Manuscripts should not exceed five (5)
pages in double-column IEEE format. Please submit the paper via EDAS.

Submissions

Deadline: Aug 31, 2010 (DEADLINE EXTENDED)

Submissions for the Special Sessions are subject to the same rules,
guidelines and peer review as all other papers.

[Tccc] IEEE ANTS 2010: CFP Aug 16.

4th International IEEE Conference on Advanced Networks and
Telecommunication Systems (ANTS): IEEE ANTS 2010

CFP extended to Monday, August 16.

Conf. venue: IIT Bombay.

www.ieee-ants.org/2010
Call for Papers

*Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society.*

Scope: Broadband networks are witnessing a rapid convergence in both
technologies and delivered services. Next-generation services require
unified and scalable technologies spread across the network protocol
layers, facilitating a converged service model across all partitions of
the network. Advanced integrated systems and network platforms have
benefits in terms of deployment cost as well as the ability to provision
new services. Motivated by the tremendous success of the first three IEEE
ANTS events in Mumbai in 2007 and 2008 and New Delhi in 2009, which
highlighted advances in systems and networking, the theme of IEEE ANTS
2010 continues to be communication systems and networking technologies for
realizing converged ubiquitous broadband connectivity. To achieve this
goal, the conference will feature a technical program of previously
unpublished papers, tutorials, talks, and panels on relevant topics
bringing together experts from academia, industry, government, and the
user community who are involved in the research, design, development,
deployment, regulation, and application of communication and networking
technologies. The conference will cover technologies that facilitate
broadband connectivity and cover advances in the service, networking,
transport, and user equipment domains. Making ubiquitous broadband
affordable is driving service providers, network operators, and OEMs
(Original Equipment Manufacturers) towards converged network solutions and
services as a way to reduce CAPEX and OPEX. Further, cost-effective
research and development partnerships with knowledge economies in India,
China, and Eastern Europe are being increasingly leveraged as can be
gauged by the growth of ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) and software
service providers. IEEE ANTS 2010 provides a common meeting ground for the
confluence and exchange of ideas with a rich mix of participation from
academia, global industry, and other stakeholders. The conference will be
held in the financial capital of India - Mumbai - during December 16-18,
2010.

Special Issue on

Mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks

http://www2.aegean.gr/dgavalas/ComputerJ_SI.pdf

Introduction:

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer unprecedented capabilities for
integrating sensing with computing and communication as well as for
distributed sensing, coordination and control. While WSNs have been a
subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities
to date focus on sensor nodes that are deployed in static, pre-determined
locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and with packet
forwarding that take place in multiple hops to sinks where storage and
analysis takes place. The next step for sensor networks is to handle
mobility in all possible forms. Thus we need to consider the mobility of
sinks, mobility of sensors and of actuators as well as the mobility of the
applications and their software. This extension towards represents a recent
research subject in sensor networking that opens up a new research
opportunities and challenges, and significantly expands the types of
applications for which WSNs can be used.

This Special Issue therefore aims at identifying the benefits and challenges
raised by mobility in WSNs, addressing the state of the art and advances in
this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but
are not limited to):

- Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks

- Actuator networks

- Mobile sensor-actuator networks

- Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks

- Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks

- Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

- Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks

[Tccc] WiSARN 2010-FALL Submission due tomorrow July 30, 2010

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers for the 2nd International Workshop on
Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN2010-FALL)
http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/WiSARN2010-FALL/

To be held in conjunction with the
IEEE/ACM International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing
(CPSCom 2010)
October 30 - November 1, 2010, Hangzhou, China.

The new submission deadline is July 30, 2010.

[Selected best papers will be invited to a special issue of
Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks: an international journal (SCIE-indexed).]

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point
where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN),
robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate
to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by
the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and
applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may
deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes
and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network
topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption,
and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner.
The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field,
WSAN are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully
exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring
together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification
and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for
current and future applications of WSAN.

Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of
WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics
include, but are not limited to:
* Autonomous sensor networks
* Emergent behavior in WSAN
* Modeling and simulation of WSAN
* WSAN architectural and operational models
* Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication
* Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination
* Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols
* Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols
* Distributed control and management in WSAN
* Neighborhood discovery and mobility management
* Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots)
* Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots
* Actor (robot) task assignment
* Biologically inspired communication
* Ecological systems
* Architectures and topology control
* Localization in WSAN
* Probabilistic integration in WSAN
* Quality of service, security and robustness issues
* Applications and prototypes
* Hybrid networks and wireless Internet
* Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing

Accepted papers with a FULL registration to the main conference will be
included in the conference proceedings. No-shows of accepted papers at
the workshop will result in those papers NOT being included in the IEEE
Digital Library. Selected best papers will be invited to a special issue
of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks: an international journal (confirmed).

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

The workshop provides an open arena for participants from academia and
industry to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends,
experiences and concerns in modelling, specification, and analysis of
distributed, communication and real-time systems. In particular, it
addresses SDL, MSC, and related languages such as UML, ASN.1, TTCN, and URN.

The SAM workshop originates from the use of languages and techniques for
telecommunications applications, whereas MODELS has a background in the
application of UML. However, UML is also used for telecommunications and
the languages standardized by ITU-T (ASN.1, SDL, TTCN, URN) are also used
for other applications. The 2010 MODELS conference week is a unique oppor-
tunity to attend both of these events with overlapping domains of interest.
