Call for Papers SASO 2007 International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Boston, Mass., USA, July 9-11, 2007 http://projects.csail.mit.edu/saso2007/ Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, Task Force on Autonomous and Autonomic Systems (approval pending) in cooperation with ACM SIGOPS (approval pending) and ISCE Research The complexity of current computer systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., robotics, artificial intelligence or biology) to find new ways of designing and managing networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising facets of a paradigm shift. Self-adaptive systems work in a top-down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible. Self-organizing systems work bottom-up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions, and it is difficult to deduce properties of the global system by studying only the local properties of its parts. This edition of SASO will focus on engineering, as opposed to speculative and conjectural visions. Contributions should present novel theoretical results, or practical experience with building systems, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. Topics o Self-* properties: - self-organization - self-adaptiveness - self-management - self-monitoring - self-tuning - self-repair - self-configuration - etc. o Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems o Management and control of self-* systems o Robustness and dependability of self-* systems o Engineering and control of emergent properties in self-* systems o Biologically and socially inspired self-* systems Systems & Technologies o P2P applications o Mobile robots o Sensor networks o Mobile ad hoc networks o Grids o Embedded systems, ubiquitous computing o Autonomic computing, autonomic communications o Computer networks, telecommunication networks o Multi-agent systems o E-business systems and services o Complex adaptive systems Research Communities o Distributed artificial intelligence o Networking o Software engineering o Distributed systems o Integrated management o Robotics o Knowledge-based systems o Machine learning o Control theory o Mathematical optimization Organization General Co-Chairs: Ozalp Babaoglu, University of Bologna, Italy Howard E.

Second CFP: IPSN 2007 Workshop Data Sharing and Interoperability on the World-wide Sensor Web (DSI'07)

von Ying Zhang

************************************************************** C A L L F O R P A P E R S IPSN 2007 Workshop Data Sharing and Interoperability on the World-wide Sensor Web (DSI'07) (http://research.microsoft.com/~sumann/DSI07) April 24, 2007, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA (co-located with IPSN 2007, http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~lu/ipsn07.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the last five years, the research community supporting embedded sensing has benefited from the experiences of numerous real-world deployments. Actual scientific applications are on the rise, and a number of new environmental observatories are moving from planning to implementation (NEON, WATERS). In parallel, we have seen an expansion in the use smartphones and other consumer devices, supported by the cellular network and capable of capturing acoustics and images, creating a host of citizen-initiated sensing projects (e.g., videothevote.org). While many algorithms for networking and control of embedded sensing platforms anticipate within-deployment scaling of observational resources, the introduction of diverse environmental observatories and the variety of new urban applications suggests that interoperability, and for the purpose of this workshop the ``sharing" of data and models, represents another, equally important, kind of scaling. In this workshop, we focus directly on the implications of widely shared sensor data, models and algorithms, and the systems that might support this. Simply put, data is the raison d'etre of any sensing exercise. While few researchers in the field would argue the point, too much attention has been paid to the networking of distributed sensing and not enough emphasis has been placed on the tools to manage, share, analyze, and understand the data. Hosted in coordination with IPSN (emphasizing algorithms for communications, coding theory, and distributed estimation) and SPOTS (focusing on hardware and complete platforms), this workshop will examine the various uses of data associated with embedded sensing. Topics of interest (but not limited to): - Data interoperability - Data Semantics - Extracting information from data and sensor data fusion - Managing data uncertainty - Systems for data integrity - Modeling sensor data - Managing spatial and temporal data (e.g., indexing, caching, query processing, etc.) - Automated or semi-automated processing of ad-hoc sensor data - Architecture to connect multiple sensor deployments together - Data visualization - Mash-up applications (the ability to pull in data/tools from multiple places and render it at a client) and workflows Submissions: Authors are requested to submit original papers of no more than 6 pages (standard IEEE proceedings two-column format), including figures, tables, and references in PDF that include contact information of all the authors. If you have any questions regarding the submission process, please send e-mail to either Mark Hansen (cocteau(a)stat.ucla.edu) or Suman Nath (sumann(a)microsoft.com). See http://research.microsoft.com/~sumann/DSI07/ for submission instructions.

[mycolleagues] CFP: HPDC workshop on services-oriented computing performance

von Kenneth Chiu

Dear colleagues: Please consider submitting to this workshop. Our scope is intended to be broad, so anything in the area of performance and services would be welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing Performance: Aspects, Issues, and Approaches http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~kchiu/socp07/ Monterey Bay, California June 26, 2007 In conjunction with HPDC 2007 http://www.isi.edu/hpdc2007/ Service-oriented computing (SOC) is an emerging paradigm that is changing the way systems are designed, architected, deployed, and used. SOC decomposes computation into a set of loosely-coupled, abstract services, and emphasizes document-centric interactions through the exchange of messages. Services can be composed, nested, and orchestrated into a variety of control patterns and workflows. SOC has seen adoption in areas such scientific computing, Grid computing, and business computing, and can facilitate wide-scale application integration within and across organizational boundaries. SOC's loosely-coupled, document-centricity, and high degrees of encapsulation and self-description challenge performance in a number of aspects. New techniques of performance analysis, modeling, and prediction can address some of these challenges, but further research is still needed. Different programming paradigms, design methodologies, or programming language principles also may reduce or eliminate some of the abstraction, encapsulation, and composition costs of SOC. Multicore chips and cluster-wide parallelism also offer interesting avenues for improving and investigating SOC performance. Advanced processing techniques or encodings for languages such as XML also may play a role. We invite innovative papers on any aspect of performance and SOC from all communities, such as the WWW community, the programming languages community, and the Grid community. We welcome different types of papers, including experimental, works-in-progress, and position papers. By bringing together different communities, perspectives, and approaches, this workshop will seek to focus and clarify the state-of-the-art, leading to cross-fertilization. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Distributed, multicore, and parallel processing and protocols (execution models, architectures, properties, performance evaluation) * Alternative XML representations and encodings, such as "binary" XML * Code generation, incremental, lazy, and streaming techniques for improving the performance of SOC at all levels of the services stack * Programming language and compiler techniques such type-based optimizations, static analysis, and transformations * Hardware acceleration techniques for SOC such as reconfigurable computing and hybrid computing * Reducing encapsulation, abstraction, orchestration, and composition costs of SOC * Performance analysis, modeling, and prediction as it relates to SOC * Security and performance Paper Submission ---------------- Papers of up to 8 pages should be submitted electronically at https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/hpdc/, and should use IEEE 8 1/2 x 11 CS format. Appropriate style files can be found in ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/IEEE_CS_Latex.zip. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE CS Press, USA and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library. A journal special issue is also being planned, and details will be announced shortly.

[mycolleagues] CFP: WRAITS 2007 - 1st Workshop on Recent Advances on Intrusion-Tolerant Systems

von Miguel P. Correia

Our apologies for possible duplicates of this message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS The 1st Workshop on Recent Advances on Intrusion-Tolerant Systems WRAITS 2007 in conjunction with EuroSys 2007 Lisbon, Portugal March 23, 2007 http://wraits07.di.fc.ul.pt/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OVERVIEW The First Workshop on Recent Advances on Intrusion-Tolerant Systems aims to bring together researchers in the related areas of Intrusion Tolerance, Distributed Trust, Survivability, Byzantine Fault Tolerance, and Resilience. These areas have the purpose of enhancing the Dependability and Security of computer systems by tolerating both malicious faults (attacks, intrusions) and accidental faults. The workshop will be specially interested in “intrusion-tolerant systems”: how to build them? How to evaluate and test their dependability and security? What systems need to be intrusion-tolerant? The workshop will provide a forum for researchers in these areas to present recent results, discuss open problems that still need research, the steps that need to be taken for intrusion-tolerant systems to be deployed in practice, and the target application domains for intrusion tolerance.
