The Third IFIP Conference on Sustainable Internet and ICT for Sustainability (SustainIT 2013) will be held in Palermo, Italy on October 30-31, 2013. For details on the conference, visit http://www.dicgim.unipa.it/networks/sustainit2013/. Pending sponsorship from the US National Science Foundation (www.nsf.gov), we are pleased to announce travel grants for US-based students to attend the SustainIT'13 conference and co-located events such as Ph.D. forum, WiP, poster, and demo sessions.
This funding is available only for full time students attending US colleges and universities (not necessarily US citizens or permanent residents). Minority and women students from diverse institutions in the US are particularly encouraged to apply. Although student authors will be given priority for travel awards, however, this is not a requirement. Young post-doctoral students and Master's students engaged in research may also be considered for support on a case-by-case basis. To be eligible, US-based students (referred to as "you") must apply via EDAS (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=14317) no later than September 15, 2013. To apply for travel support, please submit the following:
1. Obtain a letter from your advisor/professor confirming that:
a. You are currently a research student and working in areas related to sustainability.
b. You will be attending the entire SustainIT'13 conference.
c. The remainder of your travel support will be covered (indicate how).
2. Write a personal statement describing your research interests and how you will benefit from attending SustainIT 2013, your student status, and city you will be traveling from.
3. Upload the above documents, along with your two-page CV, on EDAS (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=14317) as part of the SustainIT 2013 NSF supported travel grant for US students.
4. Students granted with a SustainIT 2013 NSF supported travel grant are expected to present their research work in areas related to sustainability as a poster during one of the SustainIT Events.
Please note that the SustainIT'13 conference may not be able to reimburse you for all of your travel expenses due to limited budget. Eligible expenses for reimbursement include advance student registration fee, hotel, and travel (air, bus, or train). Expenses that are not eligible for reimbursement include regular and/or on-site registration, meals, car rental, or parking. Student travel grants are available in the form of reimbursements that are sent only after the completion of the conference and providing all required documentation and receipts.

The SARA team (http://www.laas.fr/SARA-EN/) at LAAS-CNRS
(http://www.laas.fr/), Toulouse, France, is seeking a 1-year postdoc
(possible extension to 18 months) to work on the FP7 project PANACEA.
The project is to be started in October 2013. The main objective of
PANACEA is to provide Proactive Autonomic Management of Cloud Resources.
The position is to be filled by April 2014 at latest. The selected
candidate will join a research group composed of Olivier Brun
(http://homepages.laas.fr/brun/), Urtzi Ayesta
(http://homepages.laas.fr/urtzi/) and Balakrishna Prabhu
(http://homepages.laas.fr/bala/). The monthly gross salary is around ?
2,500. The selected candidate will be encouraged to apply to CNRS and
Universit? de Toulouse in order to obtain a permanent appointment at LAAS.
Title: Design of autonomic communication overlays
-----
Context:
-------
It is now broadly admitted that the performances of individual Internet
flows could be improved by selecting alternate paths to the one proposed
by IP routing protocols. As well, a number of recent studies have shown
that the IP routing protocols are slow to react and recover from link
failure or congestion. Unfortunately, the routing infrastructure of the
Internet has become resistant to major changes. The use of overlay
networks has been proposed as an alternative solution that can
potentially provide the desirable flexibility and control over the
routing infrastructure. An overlay network instantiates a virtual
network on top of a physical network by deploying a set of overlay nodes
above the existing Internet routing substrate. Overlay nodes cooperate
with each other to route packets on behalf of any pair of communicating
nodes, forming an overlay network.
By monitoring the functioning and quality of the Internet paths and
using advanced machine-learning algorithms, the PANACEA architecture
will enable: (a) to predict traffic anomalies (e.g., traffic congestion,
link/node failures), and (b) to dynamically reconfigure the
communication paths so as to optimize application-specific routing
metrics before these anomalies happen. Our goals are thus to design an
architecture solution based on dynamic overlays that can enable the
users: (a) to specify the required application properties, (b) to design
the most adequate overlay for his application, and (c) to control how
the overlay is reconfigured in reaction to predicted adverse events.
Candidate Profile:
------------------
The candidate must have:
- a PhD degree in computer science or control theory,
- excellent skills in stochastic modelling (queueing theory, MDPs,...),
optimization or game theory,
- knowledge in the domain of communication networks,
- good organizational and communication skills.
Application:
-----------
Each application must contain the following documents:
- a detailed CV
- a cover letter with a short description of previous works
- one or two references with contact addresses
Applications should be sent electronically to Olivier Brun (brun@laas.fr).

The 3rd International Workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2013)
http://www.derby.ac.uk/computing/itaac2013
In association with
The 6th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2013), December 9-12, 2013, Dresden, Germany
Call for Papers
Autonomic computing refers to principles and techniques for designing, building, deploying and managing computing systems with minimal human involvement. An autonomic system should be capable of adapting its behaviour to suit its context of use through methods of self-management, self-tuning, self-configuration, self-diagnosis, and self-healing.
Autonomic approaches are particularly suitable for use in Cloud Computing systems, where rapid scalability is required across a pool of resources to support various unpredictable demands, and where the system should automatically adapt to avoid failures in the underlying hardware impacting on the user experience. Autonomic Clouds emerge as a result of applying autonomic computing techniques to Cloud Computing, resulting into robust, fault tolerant and easy to manage and operate cloud architectures and deployments.
The application of intelligent approaches to Autonomic Clouds is gaining prominence in research and industry. Such intelligent approaches include evolutionary techniques, multi-objective and combinational optimization heuristics, genetic algorithms, neural networks, swarm intelligence, and multi-agents systems. Application of these intelligent approaches to Clouds can improve how computing systems and applications are built, used, managed and optimized, maximizing the benefits for users, applications and systems by reducing the operational, maintenance and usage costs of clouds. The interplay of intelligent approaches and Clouds offers numerous challenges.
The international workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2013) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners across Cloud Computing, Intelligent Systems, and Autonomic Computing to discuss issues at the intersection of these disciplines. Key questions to be addressed include: How do emerging cloud architectures satisfy or contradict the vision of autonomic computing? How does the vision of autonomic computing satisfy the vision of self managing and self healing clouds? How do contemporary and emerging intelligent techniques support and enable both of these? Academics, researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original work on the theory and practice of intelligent and autonomic clouds.
Key topics
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Theory and foundations of Intelligent Clouds
* Quality of Service and Intelligent Clouds
* (auto)scaling of Clouds
* Self-organizing, self-healing and self-managing Cloud systems
* Intelligent deployment, configuration and maintenance approaches for Clouds
* Agent based techniques for Clouds
* Adaptive and Evolutionary Approaches for Clouds
* Intelligent Cloud Workflows, Planning and Scheduling
* Intelligent Cloud Resource Management and Discovery in Clouds
* Autonomic Clouds of Sensors
* Intelligent Management and Monitoring for Clouds
* Intelligent approaches to Cloud Service Level Agreement satisfaction
* Applications, Toolkits and frameworks for Intelligent and Autonomic Clouds
* Advances in Intelligent Data Analysis due to Clouds
Submissions that offer position statements, theoretical and industrial perspectives, lessons learned, comparisons, evaluations and technical contributions to intelligent autonomic clouds are also welcome.
Paper submission guidelines
All papers must be submitted electronically and in PDF format. The material presented should be original and not published or under submission elsewhere. Authors should submit full papers of up to 6 pages, following strictly the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript style<http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting>, using two-column, single-space format, with 10-point font size.
