11th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management
11th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management
1 - 5 June, 2009, New York, New York, USA
"Making Management Scalable, Robust, Cost-Effective and Revenue-Generating"
http://www.ieee-im.org/
The Eleventh IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) will be held on 1 - 5 June 2009 at Columbia University in New York, New York, USA. The IM series of conferences has been held in odd-numbered years since 1989 (taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS), and has established itself as the main venue for original research in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. IM 2009 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field.
The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM).
Despite the ongoing research in the last two decades, and the great improvements in management tools and systems, integrated management of networked systems is still facing many challenges. With a continued increase in connectivity and the deployment of wireless technologies, there has been a dramatic growth in the size and complexity of networked systems at the same time that reliance upon them has increased. This dependence has highlighted the need for these systems to be reliable, secure and have predictable performance characteristics.
Management mechanisms are keys to achieving these goals, but they must not add significantly to complexity and cost or the problems will be compounded. In short we need to Make Management Scalable, Robust, and Cost-effective, and to make sure it helps generate the revenue to support it.
IM 2009 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share Practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, and birds-of-a-feather sessions. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services.
Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the IM 2009 web site. Papers must be written in English. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.
Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions will be rejected without further review. Full papers are required for review. If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10 printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style. For samples and templates, please refer to the IM 2009 author instructions.
IM 2009 covers all areas of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems.
Topics of interest that will be given special attention include:
Management Paradigms, Theories and Models
* Policy and role based management
* Theory (control, optimization, economic) for management
* Biologically inspired management systems and techniques
* Evaluation and benchmarking of management systems and technologies Role of Virtualization in network and systems management

"Making Management Scalable, Robust, Cost-Effective and Revenue-Generating"
http://www.ieee-im.org/
The Eleventh IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) will be held on 1 - 5 June 2009 at Columbia University in New York, New York, USA. The IM series of conferences has been held in odd-numbered years since 1989 (taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS), and has established itself as the main venue for original research in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. IM 2009 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field.
The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM).
Despite the ongoing research in the last two decades, and the great improvements in management tools and systems, integrated management of networked systems is still facing many challenges. With a continued increase in connectivity and the deployment of wireless technologies, there has been a dramatic growth in the size and complexity of networked systems at the same time that reliance upon them has increased. This dependence has highlighted the need for these systems to be reliable, secure and have predictable performance characteristics.
Management mechanisms are keys to achieving these goals, but they must not add significantly to complexity and cost or the problems will be compounded. In short we need to Make Management Scalable, Robust, and Cost-effective, and to make sure it helps generate the revenue to support it.
IM 2009 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share Practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, and birds-of-a-feather sessions. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services.
Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the IM 2009 web site. Papers must be written in English. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.
Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions will be rejected without further review. Full papers are required for review. If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10 printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style. For samples and templates, please refer to the IM 2009 author instructions.
IM 2009 covers all areas of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems.
Topics of interest that will be given special attention include:
Management Paradigms, Theories and Models
* Policy and role based management
* Theory (control, optimization, economic) for management
* Biologically inspired management systems and techniques
* Evaluation and benchmarking of management systems and technologies Role of Virtualization in network and systems management

WiMAX module for the ns-2 simulator
http://www.lrc.ic.unicamp.br/wimax_ns2/
The WiMAX for NS-2 module was developed by members of the Computer Networks Laboratory (LRC), Institute of Computing, UNICAMP. This program is a free result: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the UOL Public License Version 1 or (at your option) any later version. The license terms are available at http://bolsapesquisa.uol.com.br/lpu.jhtm.
We welcome colleagues to contact us to report any bug founded in our provided version and give us some suggestions.
Introduction
The Network Simulator 2 (NS-2) is a popular discrete event simulator target at networking research. This tool can suport simulation of TCP, routing, and MAC protocols over wired and wireless networks. Although it's possible to simulate wireless local area network (IEEE 802.11), ad hoc networks and satellites networks, ns does not provide a WiMAX module. This project implements a WiMAX module based on the IEEE 802.16 standard for the ns-2 simulator, release 2.28. The focus of this implementation is the MAC layer and its mechanisms for bandwidth allocation and QoS support. The module implements the 802.16 five service flow types and their bandwidth request/grant mechanisms; moreover, it allows users to configure the QoS requirements of applications. Service flows are modeled by finite sate machines that capture how each service type react to different events. This module supports TDD mode and PMP topology. The wireless channel available in the ns-2 simulator is used. The module design was based on a module ( http://people.clemson.edu/~jmarty/docsis.html) designed to simulate the DOCSIS standard. Although code reuse was possible, several modifications in the DOCSIS module code were necessary to make it compliant to the IEEE 802.16 standard.
Installation

1st International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Ambient Intelligence In conjuction with PDCAT'08
http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/pdcat08
December 1-4, 2008, Dunedin, New Zealand
Call for Papers
Sensor networks is an enabling technology of Ambient Intelligence. The pervasive nature of unobtrusive sensors distributed in the environment, either embedded or transportable by mobile carriers, enables fine-grain capture of environmental or ambient information that provides the basis of intelligence for higher-order cognitive systems, i.e. systems with capabilities to perceive, reason, learn, and react intelligently to their environment. Such systems in turn are envisioned to have wide ranging applications from intelligent wildlife and building structure monitoring, to humanistic and social endeavors such as health and elderly care service provisioning.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss recent research and technology advances in related areas, and from such engagement to foster or stimulate innovations in cross-disciplinary designs and methodologies in the fields of both sensor networks and ambient intelligence. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Cognitive wireless sensor networks
- Cooperative and distributed sensor localization
- Context-aware reasoning and inference for sensor/RFID-based systems
- Intelligence support for sensor network management
- Sensor networking in heterogeneous wireless environments
- Sensor data fusion for ubiquitous embedded computing
- Ambient intelligence system architectures, applications, and services
- Testbed implementation and experimental trials

IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications
Submission Deadline - 15 June 2008
IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications
In wireless networks, relays have been traditionally used to extend the range of communication systems. However, in recent years, other applications of relay communications have emerged. One such emerging application is to assist in the communication between the source and destination via some cooperation protocol. By controlling medium access between source and relays coupled with the appropriate modulation or coding in such cooperative schemes, it has been found that the diversity of the system can be improved.
In multi-user systems, different users can also act as cooperative partners or relays to share resources and assist each other in information transmission, thereby creating a cooperative network. One other emerging application is the exchange of information between multiple users through relay(s). In such cases, by exploiting the knowledge of one's own transmitted signal, the throughput of these systems can be drastically increased.
For cooperative and relay communications, the MAC layer also has many unique features. The MAC in this case, is concerned with more than one hop communication, is distributed and cooperative and works for multipoint-to-multipoint communication. The MAC also needs to have knowledge about network topology and account for node mobility. Accordingly, a new design of the MAC layer has to be devised to include new functionalities as well as MAC layer routing.
With the large benefits to be reaped from employing cooperative and relay techniques, several standardization groups, such as IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.11, have started standardization processes to include such technologies into their prevailing standards. These efforts will no doubt attract even more interests from the academia and industry, advancing cooperative and relay technologies even further in the coming years.
With interests from both the research and industrial communities gaining momentum, there is an urgent need to better understand as well as to keep track of cutting edge research in cooperative and relay communications. We plan this special issue to help address that need, as well as to help researchers looking to jump on the bandwagon. Therefore, the special issue will focus on recent advances as well as survey papers in cooperative and relay communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following topics:
. Cooperative algorithms and protocols
. Partner(s) selection in cooperative relay and routing
. Cooperative resource allocation and management
. Relay strategies for cooperative communications
. Cooperative and relay technologies applied to WLAN, WMAN and
cellular networks
. Multidirectional relaying
. Distributed coding and modulation
. Multiple antenna systems and protocols for cooperative
communications
. Information theoretic aspects of cooperative communications
. MAC issues and MAC layer routing
. Cross-layer approaches for joint PHY and MAC optimization

Coupled with advances in wireless communications and computing technologies, there have been significant recent efforts to enhance and integrate the communications and computing technologies into the vehicle and transportation systems to enhance vehicle safety, reduce traffic congestion, and protect environment. Significant industrial and governmental efforts are underway to push for vehicle-to-vehicle / vehicle-to-infrastructure networking functions in vehicles and highway infrastructure. When such communications and networking capabilities are integrated into vehicles and the infrastructure, not only safety but many other emerging applications can be supported for intelligent interactions with the transportation system, with other vehicles, and inside vehicles, to help with traffic management, vehicle diagnostics, mobile commerce, and much more.

Wireless mesh networks are becoming promising communication technologies for broadband wireless access by providing wireless backbone to mobile devices over multi-hop wireless communication systems. This emerging technology has a great potential for ubiquitous wireless network access anywhere and anytime. A number of wireless networking and communication technologies that support ubiquitous wireless services and applications are currently in wide spread use.
Wi-Fi and WiMax based wireless mesh networks are examples of such technologies currently under deployment, fostering broadband wireless network access and supporting different communication ranges. While these technologies provide flexible communication compared to wired networks and single hop communication models, they are still restricted to the existing wireless backbone coverage. The convergence of ubiquitous computing and networking with wireless and mobile networking technologies opens a path to a prom! ising opportunity for ubiquitous wireless mesh networks and services. Indeed, this provides a great potential for enabling ubiquitous wireless network access in the next generation mobile networks. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of networks, devices, and services, ubiquitous multi-hop wireless access technology introduces new research challenges in all areas of network protocol stack, including security, interoperability and performance challenges. The aim of this special issue is to publish state-of-the-art research results in the area of ubiquitous wireless mesh networks, with focus on innovative architectures, networking protocols, communication models, services and applications.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Wireless and Pervasive Communications for Healthcare
Wireless and Pervasive Communications for Healthcare, a new and growing interdisciplinary field, calls for innovation in information and communications technology to facilitate reliable, comprehensive, and high quality heathcare. Advances in networking infrastructure as well as middleware are vital to delivering telemedicine services regardless of a patient's physical location. In-home care for elderly persons is costly and can require sensors, wireless monitoring devices, and networking infrastructure and middleware to automatically contact emergency services.
Healthcare is motivating unique basic research challenges in wireless and pervasive communications due to requirements for safe signal propagation characteristics, low network latency, low packet loss, high quality image and video transmission, and the need for safe, secure, and dependable operation. The goal of this issue is to report on cutting-edge research in communications for healthcare. Basic research papers are solicited, but papers on systems integration or deployment will also be considered. We seek papers that describe original and unpublished contributions, and that reflect those aspects of communications research for healthcare which are distinctly different from communications research in general.
Possible topics include:
. New Network architectures for wireless telemedicine
. Unique wireless network research issues to support healthcare
applications
. Regionally-lossless and near-lossless coding for medical images
. Unique middleware for enabling medical applications
. Equipping ambulances with wireless and sensor networks
