From feit at cs.huji.ac.il Mon Oct 2 04:19:21 2006 From: feit at cs.huji.ac.il (Dror Feitelson) Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 13:19:21 +0200 Subject: [sigcomm] Workshop on Experimental computer Science Message-ID: Workshop on EXPERIMENTAL COMPUTER SCIENCE Part of ACM FCRC, San Diego, 13-14 June 2007 (in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM) URL: http://www.expcs.org Call for Papers This is not a conventional "systems" conference in computer science! First, it takes a broad view including both software and hardware systems, networking, applications, software engineering, and even theory. Second, the focus is on the experimental approach to doing research. High-quality papers are solicited on the nine themes identified below. In particular, we proactively encourage papers that advance the methodological aspects of experimental computer science, or present new real-world data and observations about computer systems and use. A major criterion for acceptance will be that the paper contributes to the discourse on the subject; it does not have to be the definitive final word on it. * Experimental engineering: techniques, insights, and understanding that come from building and using computer systems, and discovering behavior that emerges from the inherent complexity of working systems. * Measurements and metrics: what to measure, how to achieve reliable measurements in face of noise and errors, and what metrics will turn raw measurements into useful information. * Experimental methodology: best practices that should be followed, and pitfalls that need to be avoided. * Tools of the trade: measurement tools that support sound instrumentation, tools for automatic flagging of anomalous conditions, and tools for automatic management of experiments. * Explanation and hypothesis testing: the study of complex systems, with the goal of achieving a deeper understanding of why they behave in the way they do. * Reproducibility: reproducing previous results, the scope to which they pertain, and factors that affect them. * Data collection and data manipulation: reports on collecting and using data, including issues like anonymization and sanitization. * Theory and practice: cases where theory leads to hypotheses that can be checked experimentally, and cases where experimentation questions assumptions used as a basis for theory. * Education and an experimental culture: the need for a cultural change in order to make the experimental approach more prevalent, and development of courses and curricular material. In the interest of reproducibility and advancing the state of the art, it is highly desirable that papers be accompanied by software and data sets used in the experiments. Measurement Challenge In addition to contributed papers, we are planning to have a session devoted to a common measurement challenge, where participants present (and discuss) how they approached a given problem. The challenge this year is to measure the indirect overhead of a context switch, i.e. the degradation in performance due to perturbation of cache state. This is non-trivial, as it obviously this depends on myriad details including workload behavior and architecture. To participate, submit a report of your approach and results by the paper submittal deadline. Selected reports will be included in the proceedings. Roundtable on Experimentation in Computer Science Education Experimentation and empirical data seem to be all but absent from current computer science curricula. We are planning to hold a roundtable on this issue, with emphasis on operational ways to advance experimentation in computer science education, including the design of complete courses, how to add experimentation into existing courses, and ideas for term projects. To participate, submit a position paper by the paper submittal deadline. A joint paper summarizing the roundtable will be included in the proceedings.

While sensor networks provide ample opportunities to provide various services, its effective deployment in large scale is still challenging due to not only limited battery supply but also various other constraints such as time-varying fading effect, limited bandwidth, different protocols and application requirements. Design of sensor network algorithms using methodologies and mechanisms from other disciplines hold great promise for addressing these challenges and providing more flexible and robust algorithms in wireless sensor networks. This issue solicits the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions in the area of sensor network algorithms and protocols which specifically utilize the techniques or methodologies borrowed from other disciplines, such as game theory, fuzzy logic, control theory, micro- and macro-economics, to name a few. The application of these inter-disciplinary methods in sensor networks can be any issues involved in the algorithm and protocol design for wireless sensor networks such as network planning, topology control, signal processing, resource management, bandwidth management, power control, mobility management, MAC (Media Access Control), various routing algorithms (including broadcast, unicast and multicast, multi-path or single-path), flow and error control, admission control, QoS (Quality of Service), fault-tolerance, data aggregation and dissemination, network management, specific application design, multimedia over sensor networks. As another dimension, important issues such as energy-awareness, cross-layered design are also highly expected to be addressed. This Special Issue is to provide a compelling forum for researchers and practitioners to present their results and to track the state-of-the-art researches that are particularly inspired by nature, society, economic and other disciplines in this rapidly evolving sensor networks field. Subject Coverage: Any paper that bears an inter-disciplinary flavour, e.g., employing the methodology, theory, and techniques from the disciplines listed in Group 1 and tackles the sensor network problems listed in Group 2 is of the interest of this SI. Group 1: Relevant disciplines include (but not limited to): *) Fuzzy logic, fuzzy set, fuzzy reasoning *) Control theory such as from the simple linear proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control to more complex Kalman filter, etc. *) Game theory, Nash equilibrium *) Micro- and macro-economic theory *) Traditional artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and recent nature-inspired new AI such as neutral networks, genetic algorithms, modern heuristics *) Any combination of the above and/or others Group 2: Sensor Network Issues include: - but not limited to *) Sensor network static and dynamic planning *) Energy-aware sensor network topology control *) Novel signal processing *) Optimal resource management, bandwidth management, power control, mobility management *) MAC (Media Access Control) algorithms and protocols, including contention-based and collision-free methods *) Energy-aware routing algorithms, including broadcast, unicast and multicast, multi-path or single-path *) Flow and error control *) Admission control, QoS (Quality of Service), fault-tolerance *) Data aggregation and dissemination, data query *) Network management, signalling *) Security and its trade-off with other factors such as energy, delay, computation complexity, etc. *) Specific application design, multimedia over sensor networks *) Sensor network testbeds, field experiments, trial and measurements *) Cross-layer design and development *) Inter-connection between sensor networks and other types of networks such as cellular networks, the Internet.

Yet, issues like efficient mobility management and optimizations, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security and related operational/deployment concerns are still in their early stages of development. Moreover, the Internet architecture, its end-to-end principles and business models will require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. MobiArch'06 welcomes participation, both from researchers and practitioners, in the exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on mobility support in the Internet, with an emphasis on new mobility protocols, mobility and location management, mobile network performance, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. The workshop will include presentations and discussions of accepted technical papers, as well as two keynote speeches and a panel session. The proceedings will be published by ACM and ACM digital library. [TOPICS] Topics of MobiArch?06 cover all aspects of architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: ? Mobility impact on the Internet architecture ? Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in link layer, network, transport to session/application layers and cross-layer design ? Locator/identifier split, multihoming and load sharing issues ? Security and privacy issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture ? QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture ? Economic and deployment issues of mobility infrastructure design [ACCEPTED PAPER LIST] ?

Future applications will involve mobile users, possibly with on-body sensors interacting with a pervasive computing environment that detects their activity, current context and adapts accordingly. Innovative solutions are required for managing the plethora of network devices and systems, multiple inter-connected networking technologies -- wired and wireless, and the complexity of distributed applications. The promise of pervasive computing environments will not be realized unless these systems can effectively "disappear"; and for this they need to become autonomous by managing their own evolution and configuration changes without explicit user or administrator action. The term Autonomic Communication (AC) and computing is used for this form of self-managing systems able to support self-configuration, self-healing and self-optimization. AC is a new paradigm to assist the design of the next generation networks: self-organizing, context-aware pervasive systems and service-oriented computing environments so as to better support highly dynamic and mobile users and virtual organizations. Such data-intensive, unstructured environments with minimal or no centralized control present a challenge for traditional methods of analysis and design. Adaptive learning methods, in general, include neural networks, fuzzy logic and granular computing, genetic algorithms and other data-driven methods and algorithms offer promising alternatives. Altogether they form a coherent platform of Computational Intelligence. The objective of the proposed special issue is to highlight an ongoing research on adaptive learning systems and discuss their applicability to AC systems. This issue helps expose the networking and Computational Intelligence communities to a variety of new and highly challenging problems along with the feasible solutions designed within the realm of AC systems. Within this context, original contributions are solicited in all relevant areas, including but not limited to: a.. Tools and techniques of adaptive learning for designing, analyzing and building AC systems and networks b.. Adaptive security for self protection of AC systems and networks c.. Enabling technologies for self-managing systems and networks including Service-oriented Architectures, Web Services, Web personalization, Web content retrieval, XML, Peer-to-Peer and Open Grid Services. d.. Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic communications e.. Scalable routing algorithms and novel admission control f.. Network access technologies g.. New architectures for QoS guarantees in real time AC applications h.. Human interaction with AC systems and User-centric evaluation of AC systems i.. Advanced information processing techniques for AC including policies, context-awareness, machine learning, and optimization techniques j.. Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing systems and networks k.. Securely programmable environments for autonomic communications systems l.. Policy-based communication and policy multiplexing in AC Guest Editors Dr.Athanasios Vasilakos, Dr.Witold Pedrycz, Submission deadline: Dec. 1, 2006 . Papers (pdf files) should be submitted electronically to both Guest Editors: Athanasios Vasilakos vasilako at ath.forthnet.gr Witold Pedrycz pedrycz at ee.ualberta.ca Authors should prepare manuscripts, no longer than 12000 words, according to the ACM accepted manuscript preparation guidelines. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The new setup is great; it is easy to navigate between different issues and columns, and it's very easy to find the papers. The ability to post and read comments, as with the Sigcomm 2006 web site, is also a nice feature (perhaps one we should all take more advantage of). Nice work! One tiny suggestion that would make CCR even more useful: an RSS feed (which Drupal already supports). :) -Nick On Thu, Oct 26, 2006 at 11:09:13AM -0400, Mark Allman wrote: > > I have a couple of CCR thoughts, based on that last few CCRs and > triggered by the editor's message in the October issue.

Two workshops will take place on December 4: - Student Workshop - Future Internet Workshop The programs for the main conference and the two workshops are online at the Web site, along with details on hotel accommodations and registration. ====================== CoNEXT Rising Star Award Each year, CoNEXT (http://www.co-next.net/) will present a "Rising Star" Award, recognizing a young researcher - generally, an individual who has completed a PhD roughly within the past seven years - who has made outstanding research contributions during this early part of their career. One criteria of particular interest is very strong research contributions made independently from the PhD advisor. Awardees are selected by an Award Committee, appointed by the CoNEXT Conference Steering Committee, who will be aware of the global nature of the networking field, as well as the different research cultures that can exist in different countries. The Award winner is invited to give a keynote talk at the conference. Nominations for deserving candidates will be through an open call for nominations. This year's, and very first, CoNEXT Rising Star is Matthias Grossglauser (EPFL, Switzerland). ======================= From vern at icir.org Mon Oct 30 23:05:26 2006 From: vern at icir.org (Vern Paxson) Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 23:05:26 -0800 Subject: [sigcomm] site proposals for SIGCOMM '08 and SIGCOMM '09 Message-ID: <200610310705.k9V75Qiw053804@jaguar.icir.org> As mentioned at last month's business meeting, if you are interested in possibly hosting the annual SIGCOMM conference in either 2008 (at a location in the USA) or 2009 (at a location in Europe), please put together the information requested at: http://www.isi.edu/touch/faqs/sigcomm/site-proposal.html and send it to Joe Touch and Vern Paxson .
