Advances in the range of network service offerings, performance, quality of service, security, and ubiquity continue to flourish, despite global economy fluctuations. Access to experimental infrastructures for real-life applications by specific user communities benefits all of the stakeholders involved: the end users, because of the first-hand evaluation of the provided services, the researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the knowledge gained from hands-on study and analysis, and the service providers, because of the business exploitation of the network. The goal of TridentCom is to create a forum where telecommunication networks researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, requirements, needs, and visions for future establishment of such infrastructures. It showcases experimental activities, such as testing, verification, integration, measurement, and deployment, which are pivotal to achieving next generation communications. PAPER SUBMISSION ----------------------------------------------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit high quality papers as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management, including, but not limited to: * Next Generation Internet Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network Testbeds * Wireless Sensor Testbeds * Testbed Operation & Management for User Communities * Testbed Operation & Management for Research Communities * Testbed Cooperation & Integration * Innovative Measurements Methodologies & Tools * Traffic Measurements Testbeds * Software Tools to Support Distributed Testbeds / Virtual Laboratories * Management of Massive Databases of Experimental Data * Knowledge & Technology Transfer Procedures * Security (AAA) Testing on Open Testbeds * Social Impacts of Infrastructures * Infrastructures for Real-Life Applications * Business Models for Infrastructure Budgeting & Planning * Infrastructure Renting & Pricing Policies * Vendors & Providers Partnerships Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages, including references, figures and tables, formatted according to the IEEE 8.5" x 11" proceedings format.

FW: Autonomics'07 in Rome - first cfp
by Radford, Peter 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Guy How does this relate to your Autonomic Networking conference? Calling it the "First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems" might be shading the truth. Regards Peter Peter Radford T: +44 (0) 20 7446 4248 M: +44 (0) 7770 305506 ________________________________ From: ifip-tc6-bounces(a)lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE [mailto:ifip-tc6-bounces@lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE] On Behalf Of Paolo Bellavista Sent: 01 December 2006 09:09 To: ifip-tc6(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Subject: [ifip-tc6] Autonomics'07 in Rome - first cfp Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Invitation & Call-for-Papers ***** AUTONOMICS ***** First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics-conference.eu/ 28-30 October 2007, Rome (Italy) In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics'07 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: April 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2007 Final version due: September 5, 2007 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS ( http://cocus.create-net.it <http://cocus.create-net.it/> ) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: F.

IEEE Computer Security Foundations 2007 - call for papers
by Andrei Sabelfeld 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

[New: CSFW is dropping its "W" and possibly becoming a symposium already in 2007 (subject to approval by the IEEE Computer Society).] Call For Papers 20th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop (CSF) Venice, Italy, July 6 - 8, 2007 Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Security and Privacy of the IEEE Computer Society CSF20 website: http://www.dsi.unive.it/CSFW20/ CSF home page: http://www.ieee-security.org/CSFWweb/ CSF CFP: http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~andrei/CSF07/cfp.html The IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop (CSF) series brings together researchers in computer science to examine foundational issues in computer security. Over the past two decades, many seminal papers and techniques have been presented first at CSF. The CiteSeer Impact page (http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/impact.html ) lists CSF as 38th out of more than 1200 computer science venues in impact (top 3.11%) based on citation frequency. There is a possibility of upgrading CSF to an IEEE symposium already in 2007. New theoretical results in computer security are welcome. Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories. Panel proposals are welcome as well as papers. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: Authentication Access control Distributed systems Information flow Trust and trust security Security management Security for mobile protocols Security models computing Anonymity and Intrusion Executable content Privacy detection Decidability and Electronic voting Data and system complexity Network security integrity Formal methods for Resource usage Database security security control Language-based security Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press will be available at the workshop, and selected papers will be invited for submission to the Journal of Computer Security. Important Dates Papers due: Monday, February 5, 2007 Panel proposals due: Thursday, March 15, 2007 Notification: Monday, March 26, 2007 Camera-ready papers: Friday, April 27, 2007 Workshop: July 6-8, 2007 Program Committee Tuomas Aura, Microsoft Research, UK Michael Backes, Saarland University, Germany Bruno Blanchet, ENS, France Iliano Cervesato, Carnegie Mellon University, Qatar George Danezis, K.U.Leuven, Belgium Herve Debar, France Telecom, France Riccardo Focardi, University of Venice, Italy Dieter Gollmann, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany Carl A.

Instructions for Participants Although submission is open to anyone, attendance is by invitation. All authors of accepted papers are invited to attend, and authors are required to ensure that at least one will be present. This year's meeting location will allow us to invite more participants than previous years. Submission Instructions Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with published proceedings. Papers should be submitted in Postscript or Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers submitted in a proprietary word processor format such as Microsoft Word cannot be considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is required to attend CSF to present the paper. Papers may be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style available for various document preparation systems at IEEE-CS Press. Papers in this style should be at most 12 pages long, not counting bibliography and well-marked appendices. Alternatively, papers can be in Springer LLNCS style. In LLNCS style papers must be at most 20 pages long excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Committee members are not required to read appendices, and so the paper must be intelligible without them. Papers not adhering to the page limits will be rejected without consideration of their merits. The paper submission website will be open in January 2007. Proposals for panels are also welcome. They should be no more than five pages in length and should include possible panelists and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed a desire to participate. They should be submitted by email to the program chair by March 15, 2007. A session of five-minute talks was successful in the last two years, so we are likely to have one again in 2007. Abstracts will be solicited in May. There are PDF and HTML versions of this call for papers at http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~andrei/CSF07/cfp.html .

Unfortunately I did not remind you that documents such as the SSBM proposal (especially this one because it has not even been formally submitted by SSBM) are confidential and should not be distributed. I apologize for not including this reminder. I know that those of you who are TC chairs feel that you primarily represent your TC and therefore need to receive input from your TC on all PC matters. It also is the case that having more perspectives will often provide better insight as to advantages and problems. However, it is essential that we have private, confidential, internal discussions on matters involving negotiations with individuals or individual organizations. If you have sent a copy of the SSBM proposal to anyone, please request all who have received the proposal to keep it confidential and not to provide it to anyone else.

This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. ================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================== The Second IEEE International Symposium on Pervasive Computing and Ad Hoc Communications (PCAC-07) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 21th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-07),Niagara Falls, Canada, May 21-23, 2007 http://www.aina-conference.org/2007/ ************************************ * DUE TO LARGE NUMBER OF REQUESTS * * THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN * * EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 6, 2006 * * * ************************************ =================================================================== Aims and Scopes --------------- Pervasive computing has emerged as a new computing and communication environment with the aim of providing services anytime and anywhere for everyone. To facilitate resource sharing and support group communications, pervasive computing devices should be able to support ad hoc communications and networking. With ad hoc communications, seamless and transparent access to services and applications can be achieved while providing mechanisms for establishing spontaneous and interactive networking among communicating entities. Despite considerable progress in mobile computing and wireless communication technologies, new user demands and emerging applications introduce challenges in several areas including security, privacy, processing, auto configuration, scalability, software infrastructure, communication models and networking infrastructure. To support flexibility and unlimited mobility, services and applications should adapt to heterogeneous networking environment supporting multihop communication in hybrid wired/wireless environment. This symposium will bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to present their current research results and discuss future trends in pervasive computing and ad hoc communications. Topics of Interest ----------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Pervasive computing architectures - Wearable computers - Smart devices and smart spaces - Location-dependent and personalized applications - Service discovery mechanisms - Agent technologies - Mobility management - Sensors and actuators - Resource management - Embedded systems - Device and service interaction - Location-aware services - Middleware for pervasive computing - Middleware fro ad hoc computing - Hardware, OS and convergence issues - Security and privacy issues for pervasive computing systems - Positioning and tracking technologies - Identification and authentication technologies - Social Issues and Implications of pervasive computing - Data management infrastructure and algorithms - Caching and prefetching strategies - Resource discovery - Ad hoc communication and networking - Group communication and management - Ad hoc computing - User interfaces and interaction models - Prototyping and performance evaluation - Personal Area networks - Integration of wired and wireless networks - Enabling technologies such as Bluetooth, 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, and 802.20 - Context based and implicit computing - Ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery - Wireless Mesh Network Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ The manuscript should follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text.
