SPW 2006 | |
| Title: | 14th International Workshop on Security Protocols |
| Submission Deadline: | 2006-01-13 |
| Webpage: | http://homepages.feis.herts.ac.uk/~strrjh/SP2006/ |
| Dates: | March 27/28/29 2006 |
| Location: | Cambridge, England |
| Contact Email: | J.M.Hunt AT herts.ac.uk |
| Synopsis: |
| The theme of this year's workshop is "putting the human back in the protocol". The trend over the last 30 years has been to regard humans as the least reliable (and least secure) parts of the system, but the human is often the only part of the system which is directly aware of the security requirement. Our intention is to stimulate discussion, not merely to consider finished work. As with previous years, attendance is by invitation only; to be invited you must submit a position paper. You are therefore encouraged to submit such a paper (see web site). |

NEW THIS MONTH! | SelfMan 2006 |
| Title: | 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Self-Managed Networks, Systems & Services |
| Submission Deadline: | 2006-02-08 |
| Webpage: | http://research.ihost.com/selfman2006/ |
| Dates: | June 16, 2006 |
| Location: | Dublin, Ireland |
| Contact Email: | selfman2006@gmail.com |
| Synopsis: |
| As the networks, systems and services that sustain our day-to-day IT and communication infrastructures become increasingly complex, traditional solutions to manage and control them seem to have reached their limits. Researchers are thus testing alternate paradigms to organize these infrastructures. In recent years, self-* principles have raised much interest in integrated management, networking, distributed systems and software engineering. During this workshop, we wish to gather people with different backgrounds to analyze and discuss the potential of self-* technologies for managing and controlling networks, systems and services. Areas of interest include self-management, self-organization, self-adaptability, self- monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair and self-configuration. |
NOSSDAV 2006 | |
| Title: | The 16th International Workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2006-02-08 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2006-02-15 |
| Webpage: | http://www.nossdav.org/2006/cfp.html |

| Location: | Newport, Rhone Island, USA |
| Contact Email: | brian@cs.umass.edu, claypool@cs.wpi.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| NOSSDAV fosters cutting-edge, state-of-the-art research in multimedia and newly emerging areas. The workshop environment encourages lively discussion among participants and invites strong feedback for work in progress. NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia computing and networking. Papers grounded in experimental research based on prototype and real systems are highly valued. Papers proposing new directions for research or calling into question existing conventional wisdom are welcomed. NOSSDAV will give extra consideration to papers where the source code to experimental or real systems is released and to papers that aim to comprehensively validate previous work in some topic within multimedia. |
EmNets 2006 | |
| Title: | 3rd IEEE Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets'06) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2006-02-27 |
| Webpage: | http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/emnets/ |
| Dates: | May 30-31, 2006 |
| Location: | Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA |
| Contact Email: | emnets@eecs.harvard.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| The Third Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets 2006) will focus on groundbreaking research in wireless sensor systems with an emphasis on three topic areas: (1) Emerging research directions for sensor networks; (2) Application experiences; and (3) Early results from new research efforts. In keeping with the focused workshop format, EmNets encourages submissions that present exciting new work, challenge conventional ideas, propose new research directions, evaluate real-world applications and deployments, and generate controversy. We especially welcome papers reporting on highly original or risky research, position papers, and reports on application experiences and deployments. |
SysML 2006 | |
| Title: | First Workshop on Tackling Computer Systems Problems with Machine Learning Techniques |
| Submission Deadline: | 2006-03-03 |
| Webpage: | http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/sysml/ |
| Dates: | June 27, 2006 |
| Location: | Saint-Malo, France |
| Contact Email: | emrek@microsoft.com |
| Synopsis: |
| More and more researchers are borrowing machine learning techniques to attack a wide-range of systems problems, from reliability and performance in large-scale systems and networks to power efficiency in sensor networks and self-configuration in complicated systems. Regardless of the domain, applying machine learning techniques requires us to deal with many similar issues, from scalably collecting training data to interpreting and responding to algorithm results. We invite submissions of short position papers or reports of early work, and especially encourage reports of experiences with real-world systems and lessons likely to be applicable across a variety of computer systems. |
NEW THIS MONTH! | QEST 2006 |

| Synopsis: |
| The International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST) is the leading forum on evaluation and verification of computer systems and networks, through stochastic models and measurements, possibly incorporating non-deterministic behavior. Quantitative properties of interest include performance, reliability, availability, safety, security, survivability, correctness, timeliness, and efficiency. In short, QEST aims to create a sound methodological basis for assessing and designing trustworthy computing systems and networks. |
