SRUTI 2005 | |
| Title: | Steps to Reducing Unwanted Traffic on the Internet (SRUTI) Workshop |
| Submission Deadline: | 2005-03-30 |
| Webpage: | http://www.research.att.com/~bala/sruti |
| Dates: | July 7-8, 2005 |
| Location: | MIT, Stata Center, Cambridge, MA, USA |
| Contact Email: | dk@mit.edu, bala@research.att.com |
| Synopsis: |
| The Internet is under increasing attacks with unwanted traffic in the form of spam, distributed denial of service, virus, worms, etc. Unwanted traffic on the Internet has manifested itself as attacks on many protocols (IP, TCP, DNS, BGP, and HTTP) and popular applications (e.g., Email, Web). SRUTI seeks research on the unwanted traffic problem that looks across the protocol stack, examines attack commonalities, and investigates how various solutions interact and whether they can be combined to increase security. We look for ideas in networking and systems, and insights from other areas such as databases, data mining, and economics. |
MIDDLEWARE 2005 | |
| Title: | ACM/IFIP/USENIX 6th International Middleware Conference (MIDDLEWARE 2005) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2005-03-30 |
| Webpage: | http://middleware05.objectweb.org/ |
| Dates: | November 28th - December 2nd, 2005 |
| Location: | Grenoble, France |
| Contact Email: | Gilles.Muller@emn.fr |
| Synopsis: |
| The Middleware conference is a forum for the discussion of important innovations and recent advances in the design and construction of middleware. Middleware is systems software that resides between the applications and the underlying operating systems, network protocol stacks, and hardware. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 6th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research and technology in 2005. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed system platforms and architectures for future computing and communication environments. |
FGCS | |
| Title: | FGCS, Intl. Journal of Grid Computing, Special Issue on Fault Tolerance and Failure Recovery |
| Submission Deadline: | 2005-04-01 |
| Webpage: | http://kbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/staff/lars/fgcs/cfp.htm |
| Dates: | April 1, 2005 |
| Location: | |
| Contact Email: | baron@cs.tu-berlin.de |
| Synopsis: |
| In order to develop a service-oriented, reliable platform, Grid research needs to tackle the problem of failure detection and recovery which affects the applications running on the Grid as well as any component of the Grid management. Even the underlying resource infrastructure of the Grid may change dynamically during the run-time of an application. Even if the other resources work correctly, network outages may occur and obstruct the execution of a distributed application. In this special issue, we encourage the submission of papers dealing with any aspect of failure detection, propagation, recovery, and fault tolerance strategies for the Grid. |

| Location: | Krakow, Poland |
| Contact Email: | Pierre.Fraigniaud@lri.fr |
| Synopsis: |
| DISC, the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, is an annual forum for research presentations on all facets of distributed computing. DISC 2005 is organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). Original contributions to the theory, design, analysis, implementation, or application of distributed systems and networks are solicited.

DOA 2005 | |
| Title: | International Symposium on Distributed Objects and Applications |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2005-05-24 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2005-05-31 |
| Webpage: | http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf |
| Dates: | October 31- November 4, 2005 |
| Location: | Agia Napa, Cyprus |
| Contact Email: | fedconf@cs.rmit.edu.au |
| Synopsis: |
| If you are a researcher or practitioner who is building innovative distributed object systems or applications, consider contributing a practice report or research paper to this event. Existing distributed object systems such as COM, CORBA, and EJB have been generally successful, but we're still evolving them, and applying lessons learned into areas such as Web Services, CORBA Components, J2EE, and .NET. All these approaches aim to provide openness, reliability, scalability, distribution transparency, security, ease of development, and support for heterogeneity between applications and platforms. Significant research and development is required to continue to broaden the applicability of distributed object systems. |

| Title: | SOSP Hall of Fame Award Call For Nominations |
| Summary: |
|
SIGOPS is instituting the SOSP Hall of Fame Award. This award recognizes the most influential papers that appeared in SOSP at least ten years in the past. Nominations will be solicited of the SIGOPS membership via email. The SOSP program committee will choose which nominated paper wins the award. The decision will be based on a discussion that considers the impact the paper (and more generally of the research described in the paper) has had on the field of operating systems research. The program committee will prepare a short statement that describes why the paper was selected. The award winners will be announced at the SIGOPS banquet by the current program chair. The program chair will read the statement prepared by the program committee that describes why the paper was selected. The authors of the award winning paper will be given a certificate, naming the paper, the authors, the conference the paper appeared in, and the conference in which the award was made. This certificate will be signed by the program chair and the current president of SIGOPS. A list of the winners of the award will be maintained on the SIGOPS website. To bootstrap the award, five awards will be given in 2005 and 2007. Afterwards, only one award will be given per conference. Nominations should take the form of a nominating letter with supporting letters or other relevant documentation. These materials should be forwarded to the SOSP program committee chairman (Ken Birman, email ken@cs.cornell.edu) prior to August 1, 2005. To minimize the risk of that a nomination will be lost to spam filtering, please use the following subject: "Nomination: SOSP Test of Time Award". Dr. Birman will acknowledge nominations and can also answer questions. |
