SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, a
conference, or a workshop with proceedings. Papers should be at most
15 pages including the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using
11-point font and reasonable margins), and should be in single-column
format. Committee members are not required to read the appendices,
and so the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions
should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain
author names or affiliations, or obvious citations). Submissions are
to be made to the submission web site
(http://www.wistp.org/submission-details/). 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 November 20, 2009. Accepted papers will be published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The
camera-ready version of the accepted papers must follow Springer
guidelines (a Latex source file will be required).

If a submitted paper is mainly the result of the work of a student
author, this paper could have the chance to be selected as "Best
student paper" (even if the paper has been written with senior
co-authors). To participate to this selection process, please add the
word "STUDENT" in the affiliation field in the submission form.

Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be
presented at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper
is required to register with the workshop and present the paper. For
authors presenting multiple papers, one normal registration is valid
for up to two papers.

[Tccc] CFP: the Intenational Workshop on QoS enabled Sensor Networks (QoS2N 2010): Submission deadline: 14 Feb 2010

Apologies for multiple postings

***************************************************************************
Call for Papers

The First International Workshop on QoS enabled Sensor Networks (QoS2N)
in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM's 2010)

May 23-26, 2010, Kansas City, USA
http://q2s.ntnu.no/events/qos2n/start
Submission deadline: February 14, 2010
***************************************************************************

Data management in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is challenging, especially with mobile sensor nodes joining or leaving the network at will. Recently it has become increasingly popular to utilize sensor networks for providing various services, e.g., audio/video surveillance, real-time monitoring, etc. Such WSN functionality demands the Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in terms of delay, jitter, loss, or throughput using intelligent resource reservation schemes, policy-based service provision, etc. Enabling QoS guarantees in large-scale WSNs, while utilizing the network resources in the most efficient way, is critical for the success and life-time of the service-oriented WSNs.

Providing QoS in WSNs involves addressing various technological issues, e.g., inherent limitations of sensors, varying network loads, network congestion, multi-path routing, changing channel capacity as a function of environment, time, and interference from neighbors, mobility and cross-layer design, etc. In addition, the trade-off between predictable network behavior and network lifetime, as well as between policy-based route selection and load distribution need further investigation. Privacy of sensor information is also a concern since multiple sensors share/access a common media. QoS2N workshop aims at providing a platform for discussing the above issues, recent challenges and solutions, and directions for future research on enabling QoS in WSNs. Researchers, professionals and application developers from industry and academia are welcome to exchange ideas, discuss results, and share experience in a broad range of topics related to QoS and sensor
networking. Both theoretical and practical experience papers are solicited. Work-in-progress and position papers are welcome.

The topics of interest in the setting of wireless sensor networks include but are not limited to
• Algorithms and protocol to support QoS in wireless sensor networks
• QoS metrics
• QoS routing
• User perceived quality
• Game theoretical model and communication
• QoS schemes at the data link layer and the network layer
• Cross-layer architecture
• Policy-based routing
• Class adaptation schemes
• Admission control, resource allocation and fairness
• Real-time scheduling and planning
• Power management and energy-efficient design
• Networking protocols and architectures
• Image quality in video-surveillance sensor networks
• Provisioning of QoS (bandwidth and delay) in multimedia sensor systems
• Performance modeling and simulation techniques
• Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
• Data Management of RFID system
• Privacy and security

We solicit original unpublished work written in English that is not currently under review at another venue. The submitted long papers should be no more than 6 pages and the short and position papers should be no more than 3 pages. All papers follow IEEE two-column style format and are subject to peer review by at least two experts in the same field. Papers must be saved as PDF files and submitted via https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/QOSN2010/ . All accepted long papers as well as all short/position papers will be in the IEEE proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop for presentation.

[Tccc] CFP MAPREDUCE'10

The First International Workshop on MapReduce and its Applications
(MAPREDUCE'10)

June 22nd, 2010 HPDC'2010, Chicago, IL, USA
Since its introduction in 2004 by Google, MapReduce has become the
programming model of choice for processing large data sets. MapReduce
borrows from functional programming, where a programmer can define both a
Map task that maps a data set into another data set, and a Reduce task that
combines intermediate outputs into a final result. Although MapReduce was
originally developed for use by web enterprises in large data-centers, this
technique has gained a lot of attention from the scientific community for
its applicability in large parallel data analysis (including geographic,
high energy physics, genomics, etc..).

The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing recent
advances, identifying open issues, introducing developments and tools, and
presenting applications and enhancements for MapReduce (or very similar)
systems. We therefore cordially invite contributions that investigate these
issues, introduce new execution environments, apply performance evaluations
and show the applicability to science and enterprise applications.

Topics of Interest

MapReduce implementation issues and improvements
Implementation optimization for GPU and multi-core systems
Extensions to the programing model
Large-scale MapReduce (Grid and Desktop Grid)
Use of CDN and P2P techniques
Heterogeneity and fault-tolerance
Scientific data-sets analysis
Data and compute-intensive applications
Tools and environments for MapReduce
Algorithms using the MapReduce paradigm
Paper Submissions

Authors are invited to submit full papers of at most 8 pages, including all
figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM proceedings
style (e.g., http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).
Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not
under consideration for another conference or a journal. Accepted papers
will be published by ACM in the conference workshops proceedings.
