ICUMT is an annual international congress providing an open forum for
researchers, engineers, network planners and service providers targeted on
newly emerging algorithms, systems, standards, services, and applications,
bringing together leading international players in telecommunications,

event offering a number of plenary sessions, technical sessions, and
specialized workshops. The conference will consist of two tracks, i.e.
ICUMT-T (Conference on Telecommunications), and ICUMT-CS (Conference on
Control Systems, Automation and Robotics).

IPDPS 2011 WORKSHOPS
----------------------------------------------
IPDPS WORKSHOPS are held on Monday and Friday and are a major part of the IPDPS week-long family of events. Attendance at all of the IPDPS workshops, along with receipt of the published proceedings, is included in the registration fee for IPDPS. The IPDPS workshops provide attendees an opportunity to explore special topics, and the goal of the workshops is to present work that is more preliminary and cutting-edge or that has more practical content than the more mature research presented in the main symposium. The workshops also broaden the content of the week's presentations by extending the topics of interest beyond those of the main symposium. Each workshop has its own requirements and schedule for submissions. Note that all workshops have their own Web sites and may make changes in their submission requirements and due dates, so fo the most up to date information on each workshop, follow the link from the IPDPS Website at http://www.ipdps.org/ipdps2011/2011_workshops.html.

IPDPS 2011 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
IPDPS serves as a forum for engineers and scientists from around the world to present their latest research findings in the fields of parallel processing and distributed computing. The five-day program will follow the usual format of contributed papers, invited speakers, and panels mid week, framed by workshops held on the first and last days. To celebrate the 25th year of IPDPS, plan to come early and stay late and also enjoy a modern city surrounded by spectacular wilderness. For updates on IPDPS 2011, visit the Web at www.ipdps.org.

[Tccc] Springer Journal of Network and Systems Management -- Special Issue on "Cloud Computing, Networking, and Service (CCNS) Management"

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP.

==========================================================================================================================================
Call for Papers

Springer Journal of Network and Systems Management (http://www.springer.com/computer/communication+networks/journal/10922)

Special Issue on "Cloud Computing, Networking, and Service (CCNS) Management"

CfP URL: http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/cfp-10922-20101124.pdf?SGWID=0-0-45-1030737-p35750479

Paper submission date: June 15, 2011

Impact Factor: 1.356 (Q1 in Telecommunications and Q2 in Computer Science, Information Systems), Journal Citation Reports, Thomson Reuters
==========================================================================================================================================

Cloud computing, networking, and their related service management including grid computing (as appropriate) have recently emerged out of marketing
hype to viable computing/networking tools for reducing infrastructure deployment and service management costs without sacrificing the quality of
service/experience (QoS/E).

Although the virtualization of computing and networking resources, and their self-organizing interconnection is at the heart of it, the
methods/mechanisms/tools that are used to expose (visualization) resources and their utilization (the application programming interfaces of APIs) for
developing anything (*) as a service (*aaS) are still ad-hoc and/or proprietary in nature. Security, privacy, and multi-tenancy support requirements
add another dimension to the already complex set of Cloud —computing and networking— management problems.

This JNSM SI on CCNS management will include invited and referee-recommended papers on the following topics:

- Cloud Applications and Services
--> Any computing, data-storing, and networking as a service
- API for enabling Cloud-based Services
--> Public, Private, and Hybrid (toolkit approach) APIs
- Virtualization (of any and all resources) and Hosting
--> Virtualization of Clients/Desktop, Applications, Services, and Databases
--> Distributed Intra- and Inter-Domain Storage/FileSystems/Database
--> Distributed Intra- and Inter-Domain Scheduling of resources
--> Resources Mobility and Multi-tenancy
- Protocols and Interoperability
--> Adaptive Protocols for Generic Cloud Services
--> Inter-Domain Service-Specific Adaptive Protocols
- Private, Public, Community, Hybrid Clouds
--> Addressability, Networking Extensions, Service Quality Agreement
- Cloud Service Logging and Monitoring
--> Including Auditing and Verification
- Soft and Hard Privacy and Security for Cloud-based Services
--> Process, Practice and Mechanisms
- Risk, Resiliency, and SLA (RRS) of Services in Clouds
--> Risk-tolerance, MMTF, MMTR, etc. for Components and Apps/Services (End-to-End)
- Cloud Service and Infrastructure Management
--> Including Visualization, Automation, Debugging and Diagnosis
- Reports from CCNS management Experiments and Filed Deployments
--> University, Consortia, Industry/ Field Trials, etc.
- Mobility Management in Cloud Computing
--> Cloud service hosting mobility and service migration
--> Elastic computing using mobile codes
- Policy management in Cloud computing
--> Regulations and export control of using Cloud computing

[Tccc] 2 Weeks Till Deadline: ACM/ICST Gamecomm 2011: The 4th International ICST Workshop on Game Theory in Communication Networks

Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.
================== Gamecomm'11 Call for Papers =================
The 4th International ICST Workshop on Game Theory in Communication Networks
Gamecomm 2011
http://www.game-comm.org/
May 16, 2011. Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan (South of Paris), France
=============================================================

==== Call for Papers (CfP) ====
Recent advances in communication technologies are accompanied by a rising
need to design self-organizing, self-optimizing, and autonomous networks.
The need for pervasive communication, anytime, anywhere, and the emergence
of novel resource-demanding applications and services leads to new technical
challenges that next-generation communication and wireless networks must
meet. Due to these reasons, game theory has recently emerged as a key tool
in the design and analysis of next-generation communication networks. In the
past decade, there has been a surge in research activities that employ game
theory to model and analyze modern communication systems. This is mainly due
to: (1) the emergence of large-scale, decentralized, and heterogeneous
wireless and communication networks, (2) the need for efficient coexistence
between a variety of communication technologies, (3) the dramatic
developments in processing and computational power which made it possible
for various network entities to operate autonomously, and (4) the need for
communication designs that are robust under the uncertainties that arise in
communication networks, such as the time-varying wireless channel or the
presence of malicious nodes. In fact, game theory can be used in a plethora
of applications such as resource allocation, network formation, routing,
interference management, dynamic network operation, spectrum allocation,
cooperative transmission, cognitive radio, security, ad hoc networks, and
the deployment of wireless agents. The objective of this workshop is to
gather, not only researchers and experts in game theory and its applications
in wired and wireless networks, but also researchers from other disciplines
such as computer science, control, economics, or operational research, who
have an interest in novel game theoretical techniques and applications.
Solicited topics encompass all aspects of novel game-theoretical techniques
as it applies to communication networks including (but not limited to) the
following areas:
• Resources allocation
• Game theory and interference management
• Cognitive radio networks
• Learning in games
• Security issues
• Dynamic bargaining
• Energy management and green communication
• Coalitional games and cooperative networks
• Network formation games
• Peer-to-peer and social networks
• Future Internet networks
• Algorithmic game theory
• Dynamic games
• Intelligent network design
• Congestion and routing games
• Equilibrium selection in communication networks
