[DMANET] First CFP: Springer CASM Special Issue on Modeling Large-scale Communication Networks (D/Line: March 15, 2013)

<Apologies if you receive multiple posts>

This special issue of Springer Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling (CASM)
intends to publish high quality original research as well as review articles
on case studies, models and methods for the modeling and simulation of
large-scale computer communication networks using either of the following
two approaches:
- Complex networks (Such as modeled, simulated or analyzed using tools
such as Gephi, Network Workbench, Visone, Cytoscape, Pajek and others).
- Agent-based models (such as based on NetLogo, Repast, Mason, Swarm
and others)

Modern computer communication networks often involve a large number of
interacting and adapting entities or nodes. These nodes can be modeled as
agents interacting with each other as well as adapting over time as well as
space. While a large body of literature exists on the modeling and
simulation of computer networks, most current models do not cater for this
emergent complex nature of networks even though such networks can be better
represented as Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), a special class of complex
systems. Meanwhile, a large and multidisciplinary CAS community has evolved
well-developed methods and techniques for the modeling and simulation of CAS
including the use of techniques such as complex networks and Agent-based
Modeling; both of which have been demonstrated to be effective approaches
for the modeling of different aspects of CAS.
Recent work has demonstrated the utility of using either of these approaches
for the modeling of computer communication networks. This special issue of
CASM aims to consolidate such research on the use of these CAS modeling
techniques in the modeling of modern large-scale Complex communication
networks or Complex Adaptive COmmunicatiOn Networks and EnvironmentS
(CACOONS).

Papers submitted to the special issue conform to the scope of the journal
CASM and include a detailed cover letter as outlined here:
http://www.casmodeling.com/about

Topics of interest include areas such as but not limited to the
agent-based/complex network-based modeling and Simulation of:
- Multiagent systems
- Cognitive Sensor Networks
- Wireless Sensor Networks
- Sensor Actuator Networks
- Cloud computing infra-structures
- Internet of Things
- Service-oriented architectures
- Pervasive/Mobile Computing
- Peer-to-peer networks

Deadline: March, 15, 2012
First Decision: Typically within 5 weeks of submission

of accommodation grants for students. You may apply for it in the
registration page. Read instructions carefully and fill in all the
fields in the registration form. Time is a factor, so register soon.

-- ***Optional Trip Recommended*** As you make your accommodation
arrangements, please consider to stay an additional day to take an
optional trip (on Saturday 27) to the coral reefs of Cozumel island
which is part of the 2nd largest coral reef system in the world. The
regular price for this trip is 116.55USDplustax(plus7USD for
port usage). LAGOS participants will receive a $12USD discount. The
trip starts at the hotel at 9am and ends again at the hotel at 6:30pm.
The price includes bus transportation, ferry to Cozumel, meal and
snorkeling equipment -OR- one hour ride on the Paradise Sub See
Explorer, a semisubmersible ship where you can see the marine life
without getting wet:

[DMANET] GRAPHITE 2013: Call for Participation

GRAPHITE 2013
Second Workshop on GRAPH Inspection and Traversal Engineering
March 24, 2013, Rome, Italy
(affiliated with ETAPS 2013)
http://www.win.tue.nl/~awijs/graphite


Call for Participation
----------------------------

Objectives
---------------

The topic of the GRAPHITE workshop is graph analysis in all its forms in computer science.
Graphs are used to represent data in many application areas, and they are subjected to
various computational algorithms in order to acquire the desired information. These graph
algorithms tend to have common characteristics, such as duplicate detection to guarantee
their termination, independent of their application domain. Over the past few years, it has
been shown that the scalability of such algorithms can be dramatically improved by using,
e.g., external memory, by exploiting parallel architectures, such as clusters, multi-core
CPUs, and graphics processing units, and by using heuristics to guide the search. Novel
techniques to further scale graph search algorithms, and new applications of graph search
are within the scope of this workshop. Another topic of interest of the event is more
related to the structural properties of graphs: which kind of graph characteristics are
relevant for a particular application area, and how can these be measured? Finally, any
novel way of using graphs for a particular application area is on topic. The goal of this
event is to gather scientists from different communities, such as model checking, artificial
intelligence planning, game playing, and algorithm engineering, who do research on graph
search algorithms, such that awareness of each others' work is increased.

The workshop will be held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2013, the
16-th edition of The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice
of Software (ETAPS). ETAPS is a primary European forum for academic
and industrial researchers working on topics relating to Software Science.

Workshop Specific Topics
------------------------

* Algorithms for the verification of hardware and software based on graph exploration
(e.g. the computation of an explicit state space based on an implicit description)

* Application of graph based techniques originating in one application domain, applied on
a problem in another domain (e.g. verification algorithms on artificial intelligence problems)

* Techniques to deal with potentially infinite graphs and infinite families of graphs

* Innovative or otherwise particularly significant case studies of applications of graph based
methods

* Theoretical results on the limits and possibilities of graph based methods

* Parallel algorithms for graph exploration for distributed and shared memory systems (e.g.
clusters, multi-core CPUs, GPGPUs)

* Graph algorithms in artificial intelligence; planning; game playing; social network analysis;
biological network analysis, and similar

* Graph minimisation and abstraction techniques as a preprocessing step for analysis (e.g.
bisimulation reduction, transitive reduction)

* Computation on graphs through graph transformation techniques

* I/O Efficient graph algorithms using external memory
