CALL FOR PAPERS
The Ninth IEEE International Workshop on
Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications
(AOC 2015)
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2015
sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society,
EU FP7 MOTO Project
June 14-17 2015, Boston, MA, USA
The diffusion of lightweight, powerful portable devices, also enriched with a
variety of sensing capabilities, is enabling new ways for users' communication,
and laying the foundation for realizing the ubiquitous networking idea. Acting
either as the main communication mode or as complement to existing mobile
network infrastructures, opportunistic networking can leverage the mobility of
end users and enhance their communication capabilities. The opportunistic
exploitation of extemporary contacts among the users of the network paves the
way to a number of applications but also poses new and challenging problems to
the networking research community. The AOC 2015 workshop aims at serving as a
meeting point for people working in the area and a forum for exchanging ideas,
discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers, professionals,
and application developers, both from industry and academia. As with the
previous eight editions of the AOC workshop series, the scope of this year's
workshop will remain on general issues related to opportunistic networking and
computing. Yet, AOC 2015 will have a primary interest in new directions of
opportunistic communications, such as mobile social networking, autonomous
solutions for smart cities, big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
service composition techniques, scenarios of co-existence with infrastructure
networks, and insights to their operation coming from other disciplines such as
game theory and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers
addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic
communications but also papers describing prototype implementations and
deployments.
Topics of interest for AOC 2015 include, but are not limited to:
- Techniques for data dissemination and replication
- Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms
- Autonomous and self-adaptive systems for smart cities
- Autonomous solutions for IoT and cyber-physical systems
- Big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
- Mobile social networking algorithms and applications
- Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless
networks
- Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces
- Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks
- Cognition-driven information processing and decision making
- Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and
opportunistic communications
- Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks
- Game-theoretic insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic
networks
- Trust, security, and reputation
- Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement
data from real experiments
- Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications
- Autonomic and opportunistic solutions for mobile cloud applications
- Applications and middleware support
- Routing, transport, and reliability issues

There is the funding for an EU PhD student with an excellent
Mathematical background to study within the Algorithms & Complexity
group at the University of Edinburgh. The proposed research topic
is below (though there is some flexibility with regard to topic).
The deadline is noon on Friday, 6th March. Please contact me

Measuring, Counting and Sampling in Polytopes
supervisor: Mary Cryan
The project proposes to study some algorithmic and combinatorial
questions regarding a special class of high-dimensional polytopes
called transportation polytopes - we will be interested in the
diameter of these polytopes, the (number of, and shape of) vertices
of the polytopes, and the number of lattice points inside these
polytopes (the lattice points are also known as contingency tables).
In recent years, there has been a bustle of activity concerning the
diameter of general multi-dimensional polytopes - the big result
being Francisco Santos' counterexample disproving the "Hirsch
conjecture". Despite this, the question of the diameter of
special classes of polytopes remains open, and there is a
possibility (for example) that the class of transportation
polytopes does satisfy that conjecture.
Apart from diameter the question of counting/sampling contingency
tables remains open for the general case, and we would plan to spend
some time re-examining that problem. In that case our concern is in
obtaining polynomial-time algorithms. We may alternatively spend
time considering different counting and sampling questions. Our
early results will influence the later direction of the project.

=======================================================
The 3rd Workshop on Biological Distributed Algorithms (BDA 2015)
August 18-19, 2015 in Boston, MA USA
http://www.snl.salk.edu/~navlakha/BDA2015/
=======================================================
We are excited to announce the third workshop on Biological
Distributed Algorithms (BDA). BDA is focused on the relationships
between distributed computing and distributed biological systems and
in particular, on analysis and case studies that combine the two. Such
research can lead to better understanding of the behavior of the
biological systems while at the same time developing novel
computational algorithms that can be used to solve distributed
computing problems.
BDA 2015 will include presentations on distributed algorithms related
to a variety of biological systems, with special attention to
communication and coordination in insect colonies (e.g. foraging,
navigation, task allocation, construction) and networks in the brain
(e.g. learning, decision-making, attention).
===========
SUBMISSIONS
===========
We solicit submissions of extended abstracts describing recent results
relevant to biological distributed computing. We especially welcome
extended abstracts describing new insights and / or case studies
regarding the relationship between distributed computing and
biological systems even if these are not fully formed. Since a major
goal of the workshop is to explore new directions and approaches, we
especially encourage the submission of ongoing work. Selected
contributors would be asked to present, discuss and defend their work
at the workshop. Submissions should be in PDF and include title,
author information, and a 4-page extended abstract.
Please use the following EasyChair submission link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bda20150
Note: The workshop will not include published proceedings. In
particular, we welcome submissions of papers describing work that has
appeared or is expected to appear in other venues.
