We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. 10th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2006) http://www.noms2006.org Call for Papers ?Management of Integrated End-to-end Communications and Services" The 10th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2006) will be held 3-7 April 2006 in the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center, Vancouver, Canada. Held in even-numbered years since 1988, NOMS 2006 will follow the 18 year tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary forum for technical exchange of the research, standards, development, systems integration, service provider, and user communities. NOMS 2006 will present up-to-date approaches and technical solutions for integrated systems and services including communication networks, host systems, enterprise applications, service oriented architectures, and delivery of management services. The conference provides a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, application sessions, tutorials, posters, and panels as well as vendor exhibits. Integrated systems and services require considerations for today?s multi-service and multi-domain environment of heterogeneous technologies, service offerings, management strategies, and business models. NOMS 2006 focuses on integrated management that encompasses provisioning, operation, and maintenance. This broad scope also calls for an integrated approach to dependability, resilience, quality-of-service, mobility management, and services billing. In particular, these considerations include the combination of wireless and wired networks and the integration of all-IP communication systems. NOMS 2006 will offer five types of sessions: technical, application, poster, panel, and BoF. Technical sessions present high-quality papers on the latest research results in the network operations and management area. Application sessions present papers focusing on the experience of IT and telecommunications industries, such as service providers, OSS vendors, and equipment manufacturers. The scope here includes customer requirements, management system implementations, and business practices. Poster sessions provide an insight into work-in-progress. Panel sessions focus on business implications, market trends, and emerging applications with panelists who are technology and business leaders.

CFP: IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in Sensor Networks and Systems
by Moustafa Youssef 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Second IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in Sensor Networks and Systems (DSSNS'2006) http://www.dssns.org In conjunction with 2nd NASA/IEEE Systems and Software Week 30th NASA/IEEE Software Engineering Workshop (SEW'2006) Columbia, Maryland, USA ~ April 24-28, 2006 Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential use of networked sensors in applications such as smart environments, disaster management, combat field reconnaissance, and security surveillance. While the initial view of the community was that networked sensors will play a complementary role that enhances the quality of these applications, recent research results have encouraged practitioners to envision an increased reliance on sensor networks and systems (SN&S) in such critical and sensitive applications. Therefore to realize their potential, necessary dependability and security (D&S) measures have to be incorporated in the design and during the operation of SN&S. Dependability is usually specified using attributes like reliability, survivability, safety, maintainability, and availability in presence of failure, while security is specified by attributes like integrity, authenticity, confidentiality, and availability in presence of attacks. D&S services accomplish tasks for attack and failure prevention, detection and response. The scope of D&S services may span the deployed sensors to command nodes and likely beyond. It also involves D&S support at, and cross-cutting, the protocol stack layers from physical to application. Achieving dependability and security in SN&S will require non-conventional mechanisms due to many factors including: (1) sensors are significantly constrained in the amount of available resources such as energy, storage and computation; (2) sensors are expected to be deployed in very large numbers in normal as well as harsh/hostile environments; (3) sensor networks suffer from structural weakness and limited physical protection, and (4) localization of impact is complicated due to the un-tethered nature of SN&S and of the potential attackers. In addition, D&S requirements may vary according to mission defined over a multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, data collection), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event recovery), and time. This workshop will foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results on dependability and security in SN&S. Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following: - Fault and intrusion-tolerant architectures, middleware and operational models - Robust routing, storage, and processing of sensed data - D&S architectures, protocols and tools - Vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures - Monitoring and evaluation techniques - Robust clustering techniques - Self-awareness and context-awareness - Resilient virtual infrastructures - Autonomic and adaptive D&S support. - Formal representation and verification of D&S properties - Network inference support for D&S - Quality of service provisioning - Models, metrics, and measurements for D&S - Privacy-aware D&S services - Testbeds, simulation and visualization - Agent-based D&S management - SN&S support for D&S in larger information grids - SN&S application development environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- For guidelines regarding paper submission, please refer to the workshops website (http://www.dssns.org). Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. The manuscript should not exceed 20 single-column double-space pages in PDF format, font size 11 or larger. The first page should include title, authors' contact information, abstract and five keywords. Important Dates ---------------- Submission deadline: November 7, 2005 Decision notification: December 20, 2005 Final manuscript due: January 20, 2006 The accepted papers will appear in a proceedings published by IEEE. The best paper will be recognized and selected papers will be invited to a Special Issue of the Journal of Ad Hoc and Sensor Wireless Networks.

by Matt Welsh 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

National Science Foundation Networking of Sensor Systems (NOSS) Informational Meeting October 18, 2005 Harvard University The goal of the Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program at the National Science Foundation is to sustain the science and technology needed to fulfill our vision for next-generation networks and to address the limitations of existing networks. One focus area within NeTS is the Networking of Sensor Systems (NOSS). The NOSS Informational Meeting will be held on October 18, 2005, at Harvard University's Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The purpose of this informational meeting is to share the goals and scope of the NOSS focus area with those who hope to be funded by the NOSS program. By including presentations from researchers, vendors, and applications experts, this meeting will enable attendees to get a sense of the state of the art in sensor networks, and the key challenges facing the focus area and sub-areas thereof. The meeting will also provide a venue for NSF to discuss logistics for the focus area and for the overall networking program, and to answer questions from the community. The informational meeting is open to all interested members of the scientific community. Please note that space is limited to 150 attendees, so please register as soon as possible. Registration deadline: October 10, 2005 For more information and registration, please see: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/noss If you have any questions, please contact the meeting organizers at noss(a)eecs.harvard.edu.
