von Alessandro Puiatti

We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers ACC 2006 2nd IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Computing Niagara-Falls, Buffalo-NY, June 2006 in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2006 http://www.autonomic-communication.org/acc/index.html Sponsored by IEEE WoWMoM Ubiquitous and self-organized Internet, ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks are expected to be some of the basic building blocks of pervasive computing environments. However, the promise of pervasive computing environments will not be realized unless these systems can effectively "disappear". In order to do that they need to become autonomous by managing their own evolution and configuration changes without explicit user or administrator action. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic computing and autonommic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Architecture and models for autonomic communication and computing systems - Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic systems and networks - Adaptive security for self protection of systems and networks - Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic communications - Novel management techniques for autonomic communication and computing systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing systems and networks - Languages, development and securely programmable environments for autonomic communications systems - Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic communication and computing systems - Autonomic communication and computing testbeds and measurements SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF file and submit it to acc2006(a)autonomic-communication.org.

von Silvia Giordano

Apologies for multiple copies received. Please, distribute it to interested colleagues and students ********************* ATC-06 ************************* The 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06) http://grid.hust.edu.cn/atc06 Organized by Huazhong Univ. of Sci. and Tech. (HUST) Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying) Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006 ****************************************************** Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing with ever increasing scale and heterogeneity, and becoming overly complex. Such the complexity is getting more critical along with ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, autonomic computing focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that perform self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-ware operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and pervasive infrastructure based global computing exist universally in the course of dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services that are available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-06 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic and trusted computing and communication. ATC-06 as a conference comes out of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan, Dec.), and the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria, April). Topics include but are not limited to the following: Autonomic Computing Theory and Models * Nervous/organic model, reaction, pro-action, control, persistence, negotiation, cooperation, etc. Autonomic Computing Architectures and Systems * Autonomic elements, relationship, architecture, framework, middleware, prototype, system, etc. Autonomic Computing Components and Modules * Autonomic component/module such as memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, OS, etc. Autonomic Communication and Services * Autonomic network, ad hoc/sensor net, grid, P2P, web service, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. Autonomic System Tools and Interfaces * Tool/interface for autonomic system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. Trust Models and Specifications * Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. Trust-related Security and Privacy * Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems * Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. Trustworthy Services and Applications * Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, mobile/ pervasive services, novel applications, etc. Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues * Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. ==IMPORTANT DATES== Submission Deadline: March 10, 2006 Authors Notification: May 10, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: June 10, 2006 ==ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION== Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file.

CFP: The 3rd International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06)

von Mieso Denko

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ********************* UIC-06 ************************* The 3rd International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06) - Building Smart Worlds on Real and Cyber Spaces - http://grid.hust.edu.cn/uic06/ Organized by Huazhong Univ. of Sci. and Tech. (HUST) Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying) Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006 ****************************************************** Following ubiquitous computers, networks, information, services, etc., is a road towards a smart world (SW) created on both real and cyber spaces. A SW is mainly characterized by ubiquitous intelligence (UI) or computational intelligence pervasive in the physical world, filled with ubiquitous intelligent or smart things, that are capable of computing, communicating, and behaving smartly with some intelligence. One of the profound implications of such ubiquitous smart things is that various kinds and levels of intelligence will exist ubiquitously in everyday objects, environments, systems and even ourselves, and possibly be extended from man-made to natural things. "Ubicomp" or "percomp" can be regarded as the computing of all these intelligent/smart things/u-things, that are essential elements and components of the SW. A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the ubiquitous world with universal services of any means/place/time to the SW of trustworthy services with the right means/place/time. UIC-06 is a successor of the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart Worlds (UISW2005, Japan, Dec. 2005) which succeeds the 1st Int'l Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW2005,Taipei, Mar. 2005). It offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments, and systems as well as discuss various personal/social/physical issues faced by UI and SWs. Topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects * Electronic Label, Card, E-Tag and RFID * Embedded Chips, Sensor & Actuator * MEMS, NEMS, Mote & Biometric Device * Everyday Good, Artifact, Robot, etc. * Smart Appliance and Wearable Device * Material, Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc. * Emerging Intelligent/Smart Objects * Embedded Software and Agents 2. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Environments * Room, Home, Office, Laboratory, etc. * Building, Library, School, Campus, etc. * Shop, Clinic, Hospital and Health Care * Street, Yard, Park, Ground, City, etc. * Vehicle, Road, Traffic & Transportation * Land, Pool, Space and Hyperspace * Learning, Sport, Entertainment, etc. * Novel Intelligent/Smart Applications 3. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Systems * Sensor, Ad Hoc & Intelligent Networks * Knowledge Representation and Ontology * Wearable, Personal and Body Area Systems * OS, Middleware and Intelligent Association * Intelligent Service Architecture, Grid & Mesh * Massive Agents, Swarm/Amorphous Systems * Proactive, Autonomic and Organic Systems * Novel Intelligent/Smart Systems 4. Personal/Social/Physical Aspects * Real/Cyber World Modeling and Semantics * End-User Interface, Control & Programming * Social/Natural/Physical Model of UI & SW * User/Object Identity and Activity Recognition * Security, Privacy, Trust and Legal/Policy Issues * Emotional, Ethical and Psychological Factors * Implication and Impact of UI and SW * Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds ==IMPORTANT DATES== Submission Deadline: March 10, 2006 Authors Notification: May 10, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: June 10, 2006 ==ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION== Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file.
