______________________________________________________________________
ACM CHANTS 2014 - 9th Workshop on Challenged Networks
co-located with ACM MobiCom 2014
7 September 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA

******* PAPER REGISTRATION DEADLINE: JUNE 1st *******
SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
__________________
Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is
desired,
but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively.
Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a
heterogeneous
mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions.
Traditional
examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor
and
wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas,
and military battlefields. Recently, challenged networking has also found
applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially
conceived,
such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications,
traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing,
opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to
challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting,
for example, findings in the area of social networking.
The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as
WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will
further push towards practical developments of challenged networking
solutions.
This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops,
and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging
topics
of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for
researchers
and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research
papers or demos,
in the following topics:
- Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs)
- Opportunistic communication and computing
- Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems
for challenged networks
- Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and
protocols
- Network Coding in Challenged Networks
- Information Centric and Content-centric Networking in Challenged Networks
- Security/Trust/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks
- Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages
of development or use
- Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios
(e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use
(e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion,
crowdsourcing,
sensor networks)
- Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks
- Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for
challenged environments
- Network science methods for challenged networks
- Mobile data offloading via challenged networks
- Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems
- Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks
- Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud
- Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic
sensing
Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship
to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or
future research.
We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos,
which have been
an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of
their work will be
encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply
not practical
to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are
acceptable.
PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
________________________________________
Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being
currently under review by another conference or journal.
Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to
the standard ACM conference proceedings format.
Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be
longer
than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements
(the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).
Papers will be reviewed single blind.

[DMANET] 2nd CFP - IEEE Systems Journal Special Issue on System Safety and Safety Critical Systems
IEEE Systems Journal Special Issue on "System Safety and Safety-Critical
Systems"
CALL FOR PAPERS

SCOPE
Safety, "The condition of being safe; freedom from danger, risk or injury,"
is a concern for life in general, and an important issue in the design of
complex systems in particular. While the precise nature of safety in
relation to security is a matter of some debate, it may be said that safety
is the property of a system not to misbehave (in some defined way) on its
own, whilst security is its resistance to malicious actions. It is also
accepted that safety is an emergent system property that must be "baked into
the cake" in the design and construction of complex systems, and that it
cannot be bolted on to an unsafe system later. Likewise, standards and
practices for system operation that are framed for other objectives such as
profitability or operational readiness do not necessarily ensure system
safety, and safety may be in conflict with such other objectives, requiring
a compromise approach. In particular, "safety-critical" systems are those
where safety is considered as the paramount concern, where every design or
operational conflict between safety and another objective such as
availability, must be decided in favor of safety. The range of systems where
safety is a concern is vast, and includes such diverse domains as aviation,
oil and gas installations, power systems, medical devices and services,
maritime, and military, along with many others. While every such domain has
certain important features that call for a unique approach, it is quite
fruitful to look for common threads in reasoning about safety in complex
systems, and gain insights that are useful in a range of systems.
The IEEE Systems Journal will publish a special issue dedicated to system
safety and safety-critical systems. The aim of this special issue is to
present a collection of high-quality archival research papers that address
theoretical and practical perspectives of the entire system life cycle, to
help create safer systems. Papers that integrate multiple perspectives to
take a larger system-level view, and papers that offer insights valid across
different domains, will be preferred over papers that deal with specific
technologies, theoretical concepts, and local perspectives. The topics of
interest include, but are not restricted to:
• Functional safety
• Formal methods for safety in complex systems • Hazard identification and
assessment • Software safety • Human factors • Man-machine interfaces and
ergonomics • Safety and systems engineering • Safety standards and their
evolution • Safety audits and certification for critical systems • Design
innovations for safety • Mitigation of natural and man-made disasters •
Safety cultures, policies, and practices • Corporate governance for safety •
Safety in complex systems with legacy technologies
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions by following
the detailed instructions given in the "Information for Authors" at

Objectives of the Workshop
Agent-Based Simulation Models are an increasingly popular tool for
research and management in many fields such as ecology, economics,
sociology, etc.. In some fields, such as social sciences, these models
are seen as a key instrument to the generative approach, essential for
understanding complex social phenomena. But also in policy-making,
biology, military simulations, control of mobile robots and economics,
the relevance and effectiveness of Agent-Based Simulation Models is
recently recognized.
Computer science community has responded to the need for platforms
that can help the development and testing of new models in each
specific field by providing tools, libraries and frameworks that speed
up and make massive simulations possible.
The key objective of this Second Workshop on Parallel and Distributed
Agent-Based Simulations is to bring together the researchers that are
interested in getting more performances from their simulations, by
using synchronized, many-core simulations (e.g., GPUs), strongly
coupled, parallel simulations (e.g. MPI) and loosely coupled,
distributed simulations (distributed heterogeneous setting).
Several frameworks have been recently developed and are active in this
field. They range from the GPU-Manycore approach, to Parallel, to
Distributed simulation environments. In the first category, you can
find FLAME GPU, that allows also non GPU specialists to harness the
GPUs performance for real time simulation and visualization. For
tightly-coupled, large computing clusters and supercomputers a very
popular framework is Repast for High Performance Computing
(REPAST-HPC), a C++-based modeling system. On the distributed side,
recent work on Distributed MASON, allows non specialists to use
heterogeneous hardware and software in local area networks for
enlarging the size and speeding up the simulation of complex
Agent-Based models.
Topics of interest
Frameworks for parallel/distributed ABSs
Case studies of ABSs in parallel/distributed settings, with an
emphasis on the technical implementation, architectural choices and
their impact on performances Benchmark parallel/distributed ABSs
Debugging parallel/distributed ABSs
Formal methods and algorithms for ABSs in parallel/distributed models
Load Balancing algorithms, techniques and frameworks
Management and deployment of parallel/distributed ABSs
Visualization of parallel/distributed ABSs
Paper submission
The papers will be presented in the regular format (10 pages LNCS
format, 5 pages for short papers) and will be reviewed, anonymously by
at least 2 reviewers of the Program Committee. Acceptance as
regular/short papers will depend upon scientific value, originality
and relevance to the Workshop theme.
Euro-Par Workshops Proceedings will be published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes for Computer Science series after the Workshops.
Submissions and reviewing will be through EasyChair via
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=europar2014ws

TCS JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE: As in previous years, selected high-quality
papers will be considered for publication in a Special Issue of the
Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) Journal.
HOW TO SUBMIT: Full papers are to be submitted electronically using the
EasyChair server.
Original research papers must contain results that have not previously
appeared and have not been concurrently submitted to a journal or
conference with published proceedings. Each paper should select a track
to submit to. Since there can be a lot of overlap of the three tracks,
the selection of a track is a suggestion and all papers will be handled
by the single PC to ensure that each paper is handled by PC members of
the expertise area. Authors need to ensure that for each accepted paper
at least one author will register and attend the symposium. Submissions
are limited to twelve (12) single-column pages on letter/A4-size paper
(using at least 11 point font, 1 inch margins, standard line spacing,
preferably formatted in the LNCS style). This includes figures, but
excludes references and an optional appendix (to be read at the program
committee's discretion).

practical significance to graph drawing and network visualization.
Each paper must be submitted explicitly to one of two distinct tracks.
Papers submitted to one track will not compete with papers submitted
to the other track.
Track 1: Combinatorial and algorithmic aspects
This track is mainly devoted to fundamental graph drawing advances,
such as combinatorial aspects and algorithm design. The range of
topics for this track includes (but is not limited to) the following:
- Design and analysis of graph drawing algorithms
- Theory of geometric graphs
- Geometric computing
- Geometric and topological graph theory
- Optimization on graphs
Track 2: Experimental, applied, and network visualization aspects
This track is mainly devoted to the practical aspects of graph
drawing, such as the development of network visualization systems and
interfaces in different application areas. The range of topics for
this track includes (but is not limited to) the following:
- Visualization of graphs and networks in application areas (e.g.,
social sciences, biology, cartography, software engineering,
circuit design, business intelligence)
- Software systems for graph visualization
- The engineering of visualization systems and algorithms
- Experimental results in graph theory and graph algorithms
- Benchmarks and experimental analysis for graph visualization
systems and user interfaces
- Cognitive studies on graph drawing readability and user interaction
- Interfaces for interacting with graphs
All submissions must be formatted using the LATEX style file for the
conference series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) provided by
Springer-Verlag. The margins and font size must not be
modified. Submissions that do not comply with this format risk being
rejected. Each submission may be up to 12 pages in length. The
claims of the paper should be fully substantiated, including full
proofs or appropriate experimental data. If this information does not
fit within the page limits, the authors should include it in a clearly
marked appendix, whose length is not constrained and which the
reviewers may read at their own discretion.
POSTERS
Submissions of posters on graph drawing and related areas are also
solicited. The poster session will provide a forum for the
communication of late-breaking research results (which may also appear
elsewhere) to the graph drawing community. Posters should be
accompanied by an abstract (up to two pages in the single-spaced LNCS
style). The abstract and poster must be submitted as a single pdf
document.
CONTEST
The graph drawing contest held in conjunction with the conference
traditionally begins after the initial paper submission deadline has
passed. Further details will be available on the conference website.
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers and abstracts of accepted posters will appear in the
conference proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag in the series
Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Selected papers will be invited
for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Graph Algorithms
and Applications.
AWARD
To recognize the effort of participants to present their work in a
clear and elegant way, a best-presentation award will once again be
given this year.
