ACM CHANTS 2016 - 11th Workshop on Challenged Networks
co-located with ACM MobiCom 2016
October 7, 2016, New York, USA
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
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, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples
of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks
to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and
wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and,
more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged
networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to
delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship
should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many
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/edge computing, opportunistic
and participatory sensing, challenged IoT. The increasing availability of
wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of
technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE's D2D
(device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further
push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking
has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g.,
applying findings from social networks and network science.
This workshop builds on the success of the ten previous CHANTS workshops, and
WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged
networking research. This year's edition encourages submission of theoretical
and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary
interest in the **new directions of challenged networking such as mobile
cloud/mobile edge computing, IoT, mobile data offloading, and challenged SDN**.
The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers
describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions.
Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome,
provided they focus on particularly innovative, out-of-the-box, solutions or
applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking,
describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and
implications for ongoing or future research.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- 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
- Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing
- Mobile data offloading via challenged networks
- Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing
- Challenged networking in the Internet of Things
- Big data analytics in challenged networking
- Software-defined networking in challenged environments
- Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks
- Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks
- Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks
- Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments
- Network science methods for challenged networks
- Network coding in challenged networks
- Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles)
- Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use
- Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management)
- Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, smart cities)
- Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems
- Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks.

Subject: [DMANET] Call for applications for an open Ph.D. position at

Call for applications for an open Ph.D. position
The SARA team of LAAS-CNRS (http://www.laas.fr), Toulouse, France, is
inviting applications for an open Ph.D. position on fog computing for
connected vehicles.
Title: Autonomic Communication Services using Fog Computing
Description:
In sharp contrast to classical cloud services, connected vehicle
applications often require low and predictable latency, mobility and
location awareness, and they have a widespread geographical
distribution, with a predominant wireless access and variable
connectivity. The development of connected vehicle technologies will
thus require the extension of the classical centralized cloud computing
architecture towards a more distributed architecture that includes
computing and storage nodes installed close to users. Fog Computing
(a.k.a. Edge Computing) is a highly virtualized platform that provides a
multitude of compute, storage, and networking services at the edge of
network, allowing applications depending on time critical data to use
nodes in the vicinity to meet their delay requirements.
In this context, the goal of this thesis is the design of an autonomic
communication architecture that is able to route time critical data to
the best available resources in the Fog in order to maintain and improve
the requested quality of service in response to vehicle mobility and to
dynamically changing workloads (e.g., due to traffic jams). We will
investigates adaptive allocation algorithms that make measurement based
fast online decisions to minimize communication latency. In addition,
the communication architecture will support mobility techniques that
decouple host identity from location identity in order to enable direct
communication between mobile devices and applications. Based on a
software defined networking architecture up to the edge, data flows
will be controlled and managed at the network level seamlessly with
regard to applications.
Keywords: fog computing, connected vehicles, timecritical data,
adaptive algorithms.
Desired profile of candidate: The candidate has (or is in the final
year) of an engineering degree or a master's degree in Computer Science
or related areas. She/he has an inclination towards mathematical
analysis, and will have strong skills in programming languages (C/C+
+/Java).
Work conditions: The position is funded by a contract on connected
vehicles between LAAS CNRS and a leading automotive systems solutions
provider. Regular interaction with the industrial partner is expected
during the thesis.
The fellow will be employed on a fixed term contract of three years,
and will have a monthly salary of minimum 1385 € net. Based on the
experience and qualifications, the salary can be negotiated.
Expected starting date: 01 October, 2016.
Application material should include a CV, a letter of motivation, and
names and contactdetails of two referees.
Contacts (for sending the application material or for queries):
Olivier BRUN (brun@laas.fr, http://homepages.laas.fr/brun) and
Balakrishna PRABHU (balakrishna.prabhu@laas.fr,

-----------------------------------------
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
-----------------------------------------
Plenty of hard problems in a wide range of application areas,
including engineering design, telecommunications, logistics, etc. have
been modeled and tackled successfully with metaheuristics
(evolutionary algorithms, scatter or swarm search, simulated
annealing, Tabu search, etc.). Nowadays, optimization problems become
increasingly large and complex, forcing the use of parallel computing
for their efficient and effective resolution. On the other hand,
parallel computing has recently undergone a significant evolution in
terms of performance and energy consumption. The design and
implementation of parallel metaheuristics raise several issues related
in the same time to the characteristics of hardware execution machines
and the parallel models of metaheuristics. This session seeks to
provide an opportunity for the researchers to present their original
contributions on the joint use of advanced (discrete or continuous,
single or multi-objective, static or dynamic, deterministic or
stochastic, hybrid) optimization methods and distributed and/or
parallel computing, and any related issues.
-----------------------------------------
The PAM Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
the following:
-----------------------------------------
- Parallel models (island, master-worker, multi-start, etc.) for
metaheuristics revisited for multi-core processors/clusters, GPU
accelerators, MIC coprocessors, clouds, etc.
- Parallel mechanisms for hybridization of optimization algorithms on
parallel modern hardware platforms.
- Parallel strategies for handling uncertainty, robustness and dynamic
nature using metaheuristics.
- Implementation issues of parallel metaheuristics on multi-core
processors/clusters, GPU accelerators, MIC coprocessors, grids/clouds,
etc.
- Software frameworks for the design and implementation of parallel
and/or distributed metaheuristics.
- Computational/theoretical studies reporting results on solving
challenging problems using metaheuristics.
- Energy- and thermal-aware optimization for/with parallel and/or
distributed metaheuristics.
- Optimization techniques for scheduling, compiling, auto-tuning for
multi-core processors/clusters, GPU accelerators, MIC coprocessors,
grids/clouds, etc.
