The reasons for this stem partly from a general lack of awareness of component concepts in the community, but mostly from the fact that desktop component models sacrifice performance for ease-of-use. In addition, HPC uniquely requires component-based support for patterns special to parallel computing, such as the massively parallel single program multiple data pattern. Beyond the special requirements of HPC, component concepts promise to provide the same benefits as they do in the mainstream: participation by 10's or 100's of developers and the ability to support the software complexity that the simulation of natural phenomena demand. Likewise, with multi-core architecture becomes the norm and cloud computing gaining popularity, understanding requirements unique to HPC will enables a new class of commercial HPC applications. Following the success of past HPC-GECO and CompFrame workshop series, the fourth installment of the workshop, CBHPC 2009, aims to bring together the developers and users of such technologies, and to build an international research community around these issues. This year's workshop focuses on the role of component and framework technologies in high-performance and scientific computing, and on high-level, component-based and innovative programming tools and environments to efficiently develop high performance applications and exploit them both on individual massively parallel systems and on the Grid. Topics of Interest CBHPC welcomes submissions of two types dealing with high-level and component-based approaches to HPC and Grid Computing: * Component models and frameworks * Component-based platforms for Grid, Clouds and large-scale facilities * Programming environments and paradigms * Analysis and comparison of existing programming approaches * Integration of different distributed/Grid/HPC programming frameworks * Tools and Environments for Coupling of Parallel Application codes * Application-level and support-level management of performance, QoS, faults, dynamicity, architecture heterogeneity * Application-level QoS contract description and enforcement * Advanced middleware systems as a device to efficiently exploit Grid resources (e.g. high-bandwidth, innovative networks) in high-level programming environments * Case studies and experiments of large and geographic scale high-level HPC applications, large-scale data/analysis * Applicability of software engineering techniques for restructuring and integration * High-level approaches for emerging HPC architectures, including clusters of reconfigurable computing units, multicore processors, and other hybrid, hardware accelerator techniques such as GPGPU, cell processors, and FPGA. * Approaches to component composition, development, deployment, repositories, debugging, and testing for components in HPC environments Submissions Guidelines and Workshop Proceedings CBHPC welcomes two types of submissions: 1. Full papers of up to 12 pages which include work not already published or under review for publication in other conferences of journals. 2.

Several IT vendors are promising to offer computation, data/storage, and application hosting services, and provide coverage in several continents, offering Service-Level Agreements (SLA) backed performance and uptime promises for their services. While these ?clouds? are the natural evolution of traditional clusters and data centers, they are distinguished by following a ?utility? pricing model where customers are charged based on their utilisation of computational resources, storage and transfer of data. They offer subscription-based access to infrastructure, platforms, and applications that are popularly termed as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service).

Increasing computational capacities coupled with the ubiquity of networking have resulted in widespread digitization of information, thereby creating fundamentally new possibilities for managing information. Recent progress in scientific and engineering applications has accumulated huge volumes of high-dimensional data, stream data and spatial and temporal data. Highly scalable and sophisticated data mining tools for such most active research frontiers in data mining. Data mining is a non-trivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially useful and ultimately understandable patterns in data. In this book various trends and new domains will be considered through both theoretical and practical perspectives for knowledge discovery practices and emerging applications of data mining. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CFP for Journal Special Issue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: CFP: Special Issue on Composite and Integrated Security Solutions for Wireless Sensor Networks From: riaz289 at hotmail.com To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue: Composite and Integrated Security Solutions for Wireless Sensor Networks International Journal of Communication Networks and Information Security (JCNIS) http://ijcnis.kust.edu.pk ISSN: 2073-607X This special issue is devoted to composite and integrated security solutions for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In WSNs researchers have so far focused on the individual aspects (cryptography privacy or trust) of security that are capable of providing protection against specific types of attacks. However=2C efforts on achieving completeness via a composite and integrated solution are lacking. That is ultimately necessary to attain because of its wide applicability in various sensitive applications such as health-care military habitat monitoring etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: CFP: Special Issue on Multi-Agent & Distributed Information Security From: salah at kfupm.edu.sa To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Multi-Agent Distributed Information Security IET Journal of Information Security (IET-IFS) (Listed in Thomson Scientific SCI-E index) http://www.ietdl.org/journals/doc/IEEDRL-home/info/pdf/ifs_madis.pdf The future of the modern global economy depends upon a steady pace towards implementation of a successful information technology paradigm which requires construction of a dependable trust, security and privacy (TSP) environment. This, in conjunction with the ever growing potential of pervasive and ubiquitous computing, sparks persuasion of new dynamic secure techniques. One such move is adoption of intelligent multi-agent systems (MAS) to challenge the ever growing information security issues and promote new potential global applications such as e-commerce and e-health. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE TCSC News and Announcements ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: The Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2009) Results From: parashar at rutgers.edu To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca The Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2009) Results: 1st Place: Large Scale Problem Solving Using Automatic Code Generation and Distributed Visualization Eloisa Bentivegna, Peter Diener, Jinghua Ge, Andrei Hutanu, Cornelius Toole, Ravi Paruchuri, Erik Schnetter, Jian Tao and Gabrielle Allen 2nd Place: TItle: Megha Workflow Engine: fMRI Brain Image Analysis on Amazon EC2 and S3 Clouds Suraj Pandey, James E Dobson, William Voorsluys, Christian Vecchiola, Dileban Karunamoorthy, Xingchen Chu, Rajkumar Buyya http://www.ieeetcsc.org/node/165 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: TCSC European Regional Forum From: salvatore.venticinque at gmail.com To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca The new address of TCSC European Regional Forum is: http://tcsc.unina2.it The primary aim of the European Regional forums is to create a Technical Resource Center that maintain listing of projects/activities happening in TCSC areas of interest.

In WSNs researchers have so far focused on the individual aspects (cryptography privacy or trust) of security that are capable of providing protection against specific types of attacks. However=2C efforts on achieving completeness via a composite and integrated solution are lacking. That is ultimately necessary to attain because of its wide applicability in various sensitive applications such as health-care military habitat monitoring etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: CFP: Special Issue on Multi-Agent & Distributed Information Security From: salah at kfupm.edu.sa To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Multi-Agent Distributed Information Security IET Journal of Information Security (IET-IFS) (Listed in Thomson Scientific SCI-E index) http://www.ietdl.org/journals/doc/IEEDRL-home/info/pdf/ifs_madis.pdf The future of the modern global economy depends upon a steady pace towards implementation of a successful information technology paradigm which requires construction of a dependable trust, security and privacy (TSP) environment.

In conjuction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing (DASC09) and the 8th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing(PICom09) IMPORTANT DEADLINES: Submission Deadline: Aug. 15, 2009 Author Notification: Sep. 30, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: Oct. 15, 2009 SYMPOSIUM INFORMATION: Computers are now available anytime, anywhere, by different means, and distributed unobtrusively throughout the everyday environments in which physical objects/artifacts embedded with invisible computers are sensible and networked locally and globally. Such "any" computers open tremendous opportunities to provide numerous novel services/applications in both real world and cyber spaces, and exist ubiquitously in our daily life, working, learning, traveling, entertainment, medicine, etc. Although it is yet unclear what exactly the real-cyber integrated worlds would be, there is no doubt that they must be safe. UbiSafe emphasizes the SAFE aspects for ubiquitous, pervasive, AmI, mobile, universal, embedded, wearable, augmented, invisible, hidden, context-aware, sentient, proactive, autonomic, or whatever it is called, computing. UbiSafe computing is focused on theories and technologies for ubiquitous artifacts to function safely for different purposes; for ubiquitous systems to work safely in various situations; and for ubiquitous environments to behave safely with all people. A series of challenges exist to let people benefit from ubiquitous services, and simultaneously guarantee their safety in making ubiquitous safe artifacts, systems, and environments. Following the great success of UbiSafe-07 held at Niagara Falls, Canada, 2007, the UbiSafe-09 Symposium provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to address all safety related profound challenges including technical, social, legal and ethical issues, and to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experience on all aspects of UbiSafe computing. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Fundamentals - UbiSafe concepts, definitions, basic elements, models, frameworks and methodologies, human-centric paradigms, multi-disciplinary/inter-disciplinary/trans-disciplinary approaches, semantics, ontologies, UbiSafe requirements and formal specifications and validations, information assurance, etc. * Technologies - Security and privacy protection, reliability and fault tolerance, risk analysis, uncertainty and exception handling, socially intelligent agents, intuitive/natural user interface, interaction design, context-awareness, intelligent computing, service-oriented computing, hardware, software, middleware, etc. * Systems - Embedded systems, wearable systems, augmented systems, context-based systems, communication systems, safety-critical systems, survivable systems, persistent systems, autonomous/autonomic systems, proactive systems, network infrastructure, sensor networks, etc. * Applications - Smart objects, smart environments, information appliance and artifacts, everyday gadgets, robots, safety care, healthcare, medical care and services, working, learning, traveling, entertainment, case studies, etc. * Measures and Assessments - UbiSafe attributes and measures for safety, trust, faith, amenity, easiness, comfort, satisfaction and worryness, UbiSafe levels and relations, UbiSafe quality, assessment criteria and authority, subjective and objective assessment standards, evaluation methodologies, testing, measuring and monitoring tools, etc. * Human Factors and Social Issues - Human and social aspects of UbiSafe, UbiSafe sources and factors, social rules, regulations and laws, human factors, human behavior analysis, modeling of human feelings, traditional and cultural issues, ethical issues, etc. SUBMISSION INFORMATION: Submit full papers not exceeding 8 pages in PDF format (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page.

In parallel, almost in concert, computing manufacturers have consolidated and moved from stand-alone servers to rack mounted blades. The above mentioned trends alone are increasing electricity usage in large-scale computing systems, such as data centers, computational grids, and cloud computing. This increase in electricity utilization has reached to a point that many information technology managers are all up in arms to identify a holistic solution that can reduce electricity consumption (so that the total cost of operation is minimized) of their respective large-scale computing systems and simultaneously improve upon or maintain the current throughput of the system.

The optimal placement/ deployment of e.g. UMTS, IEEE 802.16 WiMAX base stations or IEEE 802.11 WLAN access points is based on user distribution and traffic characteristics in the service area. In this paper, the authors focus on the tradeoff between the accuracy and the complexity of the mathematical models used to describe user movements in the network. The authors propose a novel Markov chain based model capable of utilizing user?s movement history. This article analyzes the complexity of the proposed model and justifies the accuracy by means of simulation.

P. Sebastian, National Institute of Technology Calicut, India Nodes are expected to transmit at different power levels in heterogeneous mobile adhoc networks, thus leading to communication links of different length. Conventional MAC protocols that unconditionally presume that links are bi-directional and with unvarying energy distribution may not succeed or execute badly under such circumstances. Interference and signal loss resulting out of distance and fading diminish the entire throughput attained in heterogeneous networks to a greater extent. This article presents a MAC protocol, which adaptively transmits data frames using either the energy efficient nodes or a list of high data rate assistant nodes. In addition, a cross-layer based energy level on-demand routing protocol that adaptively regulates the transmission rate on basis of congestion is projected.

Increasing computational capacities coupled with the ubiquity of networking have resulted in widespread digitization of information, thereby creating fundamentally new possibilities for managing information. Recent progress in scientific and engineering applications has accumulated huge volumes of high-dimensional data, stream data and spatial and temporal data. Highly scalable and sophisticated data mining tools for such most active research frontiers in data mining. Data mining is a non-trivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially useful and ultimately understandable patterns in data. In this book various trends and new domains will be considered through both theoretical and practical perspectives for knowledge discovery practices and emerging applications of data mining. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CFP for Journal Special Issue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: CFP: Special Issue on Multi-Agent & Distributed Information Security From: salah at kfupm.edu.sa To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Multi-Agent Distributed Information Security IET Journal of Information Security (IET-IFS) (Listed in Thomson Scientific SCI-E index) http://www.ietdl.org/journals/doc/IEEDRL-home/info/pdf/ifs_madis.pdf The future of the modern global economy depends upon a steady pace towards implementation of a successful information technology paradigm which requires construction of a dependable trust, security and privacy (TSP) environment. This, in conjunction with the ever growing potential of pervasive and ubiquitous computing, sparks persuasion of new dynamic secure techniques. One such move is adoption of intelligent multi-agent systems (MAS) to challenge the ever growing information security issues and promote new potential global applications such as e-commerce and e-health. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE TCSC News and Announcements ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: The Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2009) Results From: parashar at rutgers.edu To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca The Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2009) Results: 1st Place: Large Scale Problem Solving Using Automatic Code Generation and Distributed Visualization Eloisa Bentivegna, Peter Diener, Jinghua Ge, Andrei Hutanu, Cornelius Toole, Ravi Paruchuri, Erik Schnetter, Jian Tao and Gabrielle Allen 2nd Place: TItle: Megha Workflow Engine: fMRI Brain Image Analysis on Amazon EC2 and S3 Clouds Suraj Pandey, James E Dobson, William Voorsluys, Christian Vecchiola, Dileban Karunamoorthy, Xingchen Chu, Rajkumar Buyya http://www.ieeetcsc.org/node/165 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: TCSC European Regional Forum From: salvatore.venticinque at gmail.com To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca The new address of TCSC European Regional Forum is: http://tcsc.unina2.it The primary aim of the European Regional forums is to create a Technical Resource Center that maintain listing of projects/activities happening in TCSC areas of interest.

This conference series, which started in 2000 following a successful workshop the previous year, focuses on all aspects of cluster computing research being done in academia, industry, and government. Cluster 2009 covers: Cluster Architecture and Hardware Systems Cluster Software and Middleware Cluster Networking Implications of Multicore and Clouds on Clusters Applications Performance Analysis and Evaluation Cluster Management The deadline for early conference registration and for the conference hotel block is 31 July. Participation in all the conference activities (keynotes, plenaries, panels, technical papers, posters, tutorials, and workshops, listed below) is included in the registration fee. New Orleans has brewed a fascinating m?lange of cultures since 1699, when French explorers landed at the great bend of the Mississippi River and celebrated the first Mardi Gras in North America. It was French, then Spanish, then French again, then sold to the United States. Through all those years, and even into the 21st century, others arrived from everywhere: Acadians (Cajuns), Africans, indigenous North Americans, Germans, Vietnamese, Latin Americans, New Yorkers. Today, 310-year-old New Orleans is the most celebrated city of the American South, and the largest city in Louisiana (over 300,000 in the city, 1.1 million in the metropolitan area as of 2008, and still re- growing), as well as the state's top visitor destination. The city has a reputation for historical roots, hot and muggy weather, great food, great music, and great times. Despite being hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in late 2005, New Orleans is still the tourist hot-spot it always has been. Jazz music still rules the city's streets and there's still a bit of Mardi Gras all year round. Cluster 2009 will include: 3 keynote presentations: Satoshi Matsuoka, Tokyo Institute of Technology and two more to be announced soon 3 plenary presentations: David Jackson, Cluster Resources, Inc.

This conference series, which started in 2000 following a successful workshop the previous year, focuses on all aspects of cluster computing research being done in academia, industry, and government. Cluster 2009 covers: Cluster Architecture and Hardware Systems Cluster Software and Middleware Cluster Networking Implications of Multicore and Clouds on Clusters Applications Performance Analysis and Evaluation Cluster Management The deadline for early conference registration and for the conference hotel block is 31 July. Participation in all the conference activities (keynotes, plenaries, panels, technical papers, posters, tutorials, and workshops, listed below) is included in the registration fee. New Orleans has brewed a fascinating m?lange of cultures since 1699, when French explorers landed at the great bend of the Mississippi River and celebrated the first Mardi Gras in North America. It was French, then Spanish, then French again, then sold to the United States. Through all those years, and even into the 21st century, others arrived from everywhere: Acadians (Cajuns), Africans, indigenous North Americans, Germans, Vietnamese, Latin Americans, New Yorkers. Today, 310-year-old New Orleans is the most celebrated city of the American South, and the largest city in Louisiana (over 300,000 in the city, 1.1 million in the metropolitan area as of 2008, and still re- growing), as well as the state's top visitor destination. The city has a reputation for historical roots, hot and muggy weather, great food, great music, and great times. Despite being hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in late 2005, New Orleans is still the tourist hot-spot it always has been. Jazz music still rules the city's streets and there's still a bit of Mardi Gras all year round. Cluster 2009 will include: 3 keynote presentations: Satoshi Matsuoka, Tokyo Institute of Technology and two more to be announced soon 3 plenary presentations: David Jackson, Cluster Resources, Inc.

With the increased use of mobile devices connected to the Internet, for example, the need for content and service delivery architectures that consider the unique challenges (e.g., bandwidth limitations and costs, mobility, limited battery life) posed by mobile devices has emerged. Similarly, with rapid advances in broadband at home technology, there is an increased emphasis on realizing IPTV, video-on-demand, and customized content delivery. These issues pose a number of challenging design and performance problems at various levels, including systems, networks, and protocols. This one-day workshop aims at providing a highly interactive forum where researchers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry have the opportunity to present and discuss recent research, developments and future directions regarding the design, implementation, and evaluation of Internet-based architectures and applications. AAA-IDEA 2009 will continue the tradition of the previous AAA-IDEA workshops, held at Orlando (2005) and Pisa (2006), that were successful in providing a forum to exchange ideas and experiences about the faced problems and to discuss innovative solutions. Topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to, performance studies and novel approaches (architectures, algorithms, and protocols) that aim to improve the user experience in accessing emerging as well as traditional Internet-based services and applications. ******************* Topics of Interest ******************* AAA-IDEA 2009 topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures and protocols for content and service delivery - Clean slate Internet architectures - Energy-aware protocols and architectures - Media streaming in wired and wireless systems - Novel Web-based applications - Online social networks and applications - Peer-to-peer systems - Performance measurement and monitoring tools - QoS provisioning and management in wired and wireless systems - Reliability and high availability - Scalable and autonomic Web-based systems - Security and privacy for content delivery - Support for mobile and wireless systems - Workload analysis and characterization ******************************* Submission and Publication ******************************* Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting well-developed research results.

It includes physical functions such as transportation, handling, warehousing, and packaging but also functions of planning, coordinating, and monitoring the information flow between partners involved in supply chains (supply chain management). However, todays business environment is changing significantly due to a steady progress towards more efficient organizational paradigms, globalization of supply chains, and stronger customer orientation and individualization. Information technology is the key enabler for managing these challenges, supporting supply chain collaboration, and managing increasing economic dynamics. Advanced IT support allows supply chains to increase their efficiency significantly, to better fulfill customer needs, and handle the growing organizational complexity and the associated supply chain risks. An appropriate IT infrastructure must be able to flexibly integrate partners, deal with highly distributed and dynamic operational data that is used in multiple contexts and processes, and ever changing compositions of information systems that belong to different organizational units in order to achieve quality, robustness and efficiency in managing the logistics of supply chains. While existing logistics IT systems provide solid support for static, self-contained logistics systems the research on managing the logistics in supply chains that are dynamically changing is still less advanced. Service-oriented computing as a design paradigm that specifies services as the basic building blocks for autonomous business or technical functionality provides means of achieving a separation of concerns, supporting functions of both integration and infrastructure management and offers promising opportunities for organizing and managing IT infrastructures in dynamic logistics systems. With its set of design principles, architectural models and concepts and last but not least with its existing set of standards, it promotes adaptive supply chain management concepts, flexible and re-configurable logistics service provisioning along multiple supply chains, and improving their efficiency. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from different, though overlapping areas: logistics/supply chain management and service-oriented computing/systems. The expected outcome is (1) a better understanding of the problem domains and their characteristics, (2) a critical discussion of recent approaches, models, methods, prototypes, and experiences with applying those in laboratory experiments and realistic logistics scenarios, and (3) a deeper insight into the potential of applying principles of service-oriented computing to the problem domain of logistics and supply chain management. Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting papers on the following topics: 1) Logistics services representation - Modeling of logistics services - Reference models for logistics services - Semantic models for logistics services - Logistics ontologies / ontologies for logistics services - Integrating logistics services models with Web service models - Repositories and dictionaries for logistics services - Logistics service data integration 2) Logistics services management and coordination - Logistics service modeling and analysis - Logistics service design and engineering - Logistics service composition, orchestration and choreography - Logistics service runtime management and monitoring - Services for managing decentralized logistics services - Logistics service quality aspects and their management - Negotiation protocols for logistics services - Market-based coordination of logistics services, i.e., auctions, exchanges - Modeling, simulation and optimization of logistics services - Verification of logistics services - Transactional safeguarding of logistics services - Service-oriented architectures for the setup and enactment of logistics services - Mashups and logistics services - Agents for the lifecycle management of logistics services 3) SLA Management - Languages for describing SLAs for logistics services along and across value chains - Semantic annotation of SLA for logistics services - SLA negotiation for logistics services - SLA monitoring for logistics services - Integrating logistics services into SLA management infrastructures 4) Case studies and demos - Industry-specific case studies on service-oriented computing in logistics - Innovative research prototypes and demonstrators - Empirical research on service-oriented computing in logistics The Conference ============== This year ICSOC and European ServiceWave Conference series are particularly pleased to join forces, with the aim to provide a world-leading forum and unique opportunity for academic researchers and industry practitioners to report on groundbreaking research work in service oriented computing. The joint conference fosters the creation of cross-community scientific excellence by gathering industrial and academic experts from various disciplines such as business process management, distributed systems, computer networks, wireless & mobile communication networks, grid computing, networking, service science and software engineering. Workshops take place on Monday 23rd of November and the morning of the 24th of November, the conference starts on the afternoon of the 24th of November until the 27th November. Full information can be found at www.servicewave.eu and www.icsoc.org. The Scientific workshops ======================== Scientific workshops are an important part of the conference and their proceedings will be pub-lished by Springer Verlag in the new Services Science book series. Related Workshops in the Business Models and Architecture Track ================================================================= The Business Models and Architecture track focuses on the overall modern enterprise. The ability to react quickly to ongoing changes in the marketplace or customer requirements is one of the biggest challenges facing every business. To react, business may need to change their business models and processes, their IT infrastructure, the topology or distribution of the organization and business units, form alliances with partners or co-producers, outsource missing capabilities, con-tract services, or even acquire and merge with other businesses. Business models and architec-tures help plan the optimal changes. The speed in which such architectures can be made fully op-erational is what differentiates winners from losers. The three workshops in this track address different, yet complementing, facets of the problem. TEAR is aligning the Enterprise Architecture with its business models: adapting the IT infrastruc-ture and changing application so that they optimally support the new business needs. GLOBALIZATION (SG-PAW) is looking at enacting the new business processes by encapsulating organ-izational work as services that can be combined in new ways and optimize its end-to-end operations across geographical, organizational, and cultural boundaries. Finally, SOC-LOG is focusing on addressing the challenges of a specific application domain, namely, logistic through develop-ing SOC based solutions and examining aspects of Knowledge Management while bringing together researchers from different, though overlapping areas (logistics/supply chain management and service-oriented computing/ systems). Paper Submission and Publication ================================ We are inviting the submission of - Full papers (up to 15 pages including all references and figures) or - Position papers (up to 5 pages including all references and figures) on the listed or related topics. Please, submit papers (in PDF format) via our electronic submission system which is available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soclog2009 The combined workshop post-proceeding of ICSOC-ServiceWave 2009 are planned to be published in the Springer Verlag Services Science book series. Thus, papers should be written in English and must be prepared in the Springer LNCS style (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for more information). All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the international program committee. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. For short position papers, clarity of exposition and the degree of innovation will be sufficient, while for full papers, a clear technical contribution is expected. At least one author of an accepted paper must attend the workshop and present the work. Attendance of the workshop requires registration to the main ICSOC-ServiceWave 2009 conference.

The understanding of the term Enterprise Architecture is diverse in both practitioner and scientific communities. Regarding the term architecture most agree on the ANSI/IEEE Standard 1471-2000, where architecture is defined as the fundamental organization of a system, embodied in its components, their relationships to each other and the environment, and the principles governing its design and evolution. For Enterprise Architecture the focus is on the overall enterprise. In contrast to traditional architecture management approaches like IT architecture, software architecture or IS architecture, EA explicitly incorporates pure business-related artifacts in addition to traditional IS/IT artifacts. EA is important because organizations need to adapt increasingly fast to changing customer requirements and business goals. This need influences the entire chain of activities of an enterprise, from business processes to IT support. Moreover, a change in a particular architecture may influence other architectures. For example, when a new product is introduced, business processes for production, sales and after-sales need to be adapted. It might be necessary to change applications, or even adapt the IT infrastructure. Each of these fields will have its own architectures. To keep the enterprise architecture coherent and aligned with the business goals, the relations between these different architectures must be explicit, and a change should be carried through methodically in all architectures. In previous years the emergence of service oriented design paradigms (e.g. Service Oriented Architecture, SOA) contributed to the relevance of EA. The need to design services along business processes forced companies to pay more attention to business architectures. The growing complexity of existing application landscapes lead to increased attention to application architectures at the same time. To better align business and IS architectures a number of major companies started to establish EA efforts after introducing service oriented architectures. Until recently, practitioners, consulting firms and tool vendors have been leading in the development of the EA discipline. Research on EA has been taking place in relatively isolated communities. The main objective of this workshop series is to bring these different communities of EA researchers together and to identify future directions for EA research with special focus on service oriented paradigms. An important question in that respect is what EA researchers should do, as opposed to EA practitioners. Topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Case studies - Combining BPM and EA - Drivers and obstacles of EA dissemination (e.g. agility, flexibility, strategic planning, usage resistance) - EA and e-government - EA and organizational theory - EA and system development - EA business cases - EA communication and marketing - EA for small and medium-sized companies - EA governance and integration into corporate/IT governance - EA in university and executive education - EA reference models, meta models and frameworks - EA usage in corporate strategic planning - EA usage potentials for the networked enterprise - Enterprise modeling, EA and MDA - Modeling of EA dynamics - Evolution of an EA - Integrating service oriented and legacy architectures - Managing complexity in EA - Maturity models for EA artifacts and processes - Measurement, metrics, analysis, and evaluation of EA artifacts and processes - Methodologies for EA research - Processes and patterns for EA development, mastering, communication and enforcement - Research theory and practices in EA context - Service design on application and business levels - Service orientation as EA design paradigm - Service oriented architecture (SOA) and EA - Tool support for EA - Understandability of EA models - Viewpoints in EA SUBMISSION ========== Papers should describe innovative and significant original research relevant to TEAR as described above.

RELATED WORKSHOPS IN THE BUSINESS MODELS AND ARCHITECTURE TRACK ================================================================= The Business Models and Architecture track focuses on the overall modern enterprise. The ability to react quickly to ongoing changes in the marketplace or customer requirements is one of the biggest challenges facing every business. To react, business may need to change their business models and processes, their IT infrastructure, the topology or distribution of the organization and business units, form alliances with partners or co-producers, outsource missing capabilities, contract services, or even acquire and merge with other businesses. Business models and architectures help plan the optimal changes. The speed in which such architectures can be made fully operational is what differentiates winners from losers. The three workshops in this track address different, yet complementing, facets of the problem. TEAR is aligning the Enterprise Architecture with its business models: adapting the IT infrastructure and changing application so that they optimally support the new business needs. GLOBALIZATION (SG-PAW) is looking at enacting the new business processes by encapsulating organizational work as services that can be combined in new ways and optimize its end-to-end operations across geographical, organizational, and cultural boundaries. Finally, SOC-LOG is focusing on addressing the challenges of a specific application domain, namely, logistic through developing SOC based solutions and examining aspects of Knowledge Management while bringing together researchers from different, though overlapping areas (logistics/supply chain management and service-oriented computing/systems). REVIEW AND EVALUATION CRITERIA ============================== Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness, quality of presentation, and appropriate comparison to related work. The program committee as a whole will make final decisions about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference. All accepted papers will appear in the ICSOC 2009 workshop proceedings, published by Springer Verlag as a part of its Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one author of accepted papers is expected to present the results at the TEAR 2009 workshop.

As the business community describes the emerging Globally Integrated Enterprise (GIE), they envision how: new technology and business models are allowing companies to treat their different functions and operations as component pieces, firms can pull those pieces apart and put them back together again in new combinations (Foreign Affairs, Vol. 85 No. 3, 2006). Whereas this vision has not yet fully materialized, SOA seems especially well positioned to provide the enterprise with such capabilities. There are clear trends that indicate the transformation of the enterprise into coordinated but independent units which can be composed in new ways in order to address new needs. Outsourcing of IT, but especially of organizational functions, such as HR, shipping, or accounting services are low-maturity examples of this trend. The new notion of Virtual Enterprises takes the idea of organizational encapsulation a step further and introduces the idea of loosely coupled organizations. They advocate the formation of ad-hoc alliances between enterprises in order to share skills, core competencies, and/or resources so they can better respond to business opportunities. Globalization is also creating new kinds of organizational resources. The ongoing competition for business differentiation is spawning new organizational silos that provide a highly specialized service, both within an enterprise and in the global marketplace. This is as evident in Health-Care offerings of new treatments as it is in every other business domain, such as in financial, software, or IT services. These emerging service providers are characterized by limited overhead, fast market entry, high scalability requirements and a global approach in the search of its customer base. The problem this workshop is focusing on is enabling an enterprise to leverage internal and external global services and combine them in new ways that optimize its end-to-end operations. The premise is that the SOA methodology is well suited to address this problem by encapsulating organizational work as services that can cross geographical, organizational, and cultural boundaries. We invite academia and industry that represent a wide range of disciplines in business, science, and engineering, to examine the problem from multiple perspectives. The goal is to identify together core issues, research challenges, learn from successful attempts or approaches, and propose new formalisms, models, architectures, frameworks, methodologies, or approaches. Some of the key preliminary research questions that we encourage position papers to address include, but are not limited to: * Modeling of work as a service. What is a service in the new context of people and work? How can work be encapsulated as a service? Changes and extensions to current thinking that will better address human related factors. * Enactment of process and workflow in the context of the global organization, people and work. Especially the notion of dynamic processes that can continually morph themselves to respond and adapt to environmental demands and changes without compromising operational efficiencies. * Enacting, managing, and coordinating End-to-End business processes that span geographical, organizational, and cultural boundaries. * What constitutes Quality-of-Service from the perspectives of people, work, and the enterprise? * Global governance, its application and implications in complex organizational eco-systems. * Composability and interchangeability of work-services and people-services. * Alignment of people and work with process, tools, and IT. * What are the relevant architectural principles when considering different dimensions of people and work? * How can traditional formalisms support the flexibility inherent in contexts that involve people and larger social groupings? * Methodologies for process, flow, architectures, and solution design. * Business Processes and Business Process Management (BPM) in the context of people and work. In addition, we welcome submissions covering the following topics: * Requirements * Case studies examining issues relevant to this workshop * Models that examine multiple enterprise perspectives, and address operations utilizing globally distributed organizations, collaborators, and partners. * Applicability of Cross-Enterprise Architectures (CEA) and service-enabled approaches to the problem of organizing the global enterprise. * The fulfillment of enterprise End-to-End processes that cross geographical, organizational, and cultural boundaries. * Extensions and applications of BPM and/or data centric approaches to modeling, execution and management. * New SOA runtime environments for the enterprise that support service assembly and management of globally distributed resources, including the utilization of new models such as Grid or Cloud. * Dynamic composition and selection of IT, human resources and other organizational resources. * Case studies that explore SOA as enabler of globally distributed work. * Governance approaches applicable to global enterprises or processes that cross organizational and geographic boundaries. Finally, our workshop also aims at bringing together researchers from different academic perspective to collectively develop a deeper understanding of the implication of applying SOA principles in contexts that not only consider the technical dimension but also the people and work dimensions to collectively identify the core directions for future research. Related workshops in the Business Models and Architecture track ================================================================= The Business Models and Architecture track focuses on the overall modern enterprise. The ability to react quickly to ongoing changes in the marketplace or customer requirements is one of the biggest challenges facing every business. To react, business may need to change their business models and processes, their IT infrastructure, the topology or distribution of the organization and business units, form alliances with partners or co-producers, outsource missing capabilities, contract services, or even acquire and merge with other businesses. Business models and architectures help plan the optimal changes. The speed in which such architectures can be made fully operational is what differentiates winners from losers. The three workshops in this track address different, yet complementing, facets of the problem. TEAR is aligning the Enterprise Architecture with its business models: adapting the IT infrastructure and changing application so that they optimally support the new business needs. GLOBALIZATION (SG-PAW) is looking at enacting the new business processes by encapsulating organizational work as services that can be combined in new ways and optimize its end-to-end operations across geographical, organizational, and cultural boundaries. Finally, SOC-LOG is focusing on addressing the challenges of a specific application domain, namely, logistic through developing SOC based solutions and examining aspects of Knowledge Management while bringing together researchers from different, though overlapping areas (logistics/supply chain management and service-oriented computing/systems). Submission ========== We welcome submissions of two types: position and vision papers (2-5 pages including all references and figures) and full papers (up to 15 pages including all references and figures). As this is a new area we are encouraging the submission of shorter position and vision papers that can form a basis for team discussion and brainstorming. All submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Paper submission is open for all, including the PC members and organizers. Submissions should be made in PDF format via our electronic submission system which is available at https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=sgpaw2009 The proceeding of ICSOC-ServiceWave 2009 are currently planned to be published in the Springer Verlag Services Science book series.

The reasons for this stem partly from a general lack of awareness of component concepts in the community, but mostly from the fact that desktop component models sacrifice performance for ease-of-use. In addition, HPC uniquely requires component-based support for patterns special to parallel computing, such as the massively parallel single program multiple data pattern. Beyond the special requirements of HPC, component concepts promise to provide the same benefits as they do in the mainstream: participation by 10's or 100's of developers and the ability to support the software complexity that the simulation of natural phenomena demand. Likewise, with multi-core architecture becomes the norm and cloud computing gaining popularity, understanding requirements unique to HPC will enable a new class of commercial HPC applications. Following the success of past [3]HPC-GECO and CompFrame workshop series, the fourth installment of the workshop, CBHPC 2009, aims to bring together the developers and users of such technologies, and to build an international research community around these issues. This year's workshop focuses on the role of component and framework technologies in high-performance and scientific computing, and on high-level, component-based and innovative programming tools and environments to efficiently develop high performance applications and exploit them both on individual massively parallel systems and on the Grid. Topics of Interest CBHPC welcomes submissions of two types dealing with high-level and component-based approaches to HPC and Grid Computing: * Component models and frameworks * Component-based platforms for Grid, Clouds and large-scale facilities * Programming environments and paradigms * Analysis and comparison of existing programming approaches * Integration of different distributed/Grid/HPC programming frameworks * Tools and Environments for Coupling of Parallel Application codes * Application-level and support-level management of performance, QoS, faults, dynamicity, architecture heterogeneity * Application-level QoS contract description and enforcement * Advanced middleware systems as a device to efficiently exploit Grid resources (e.g. high-bandwidth, innovative networks) in high-level programming environments * Case studies and experiments of large and geographic scale high-level HPC applications, large-scale data/analysis * Applicability of software engineering techniques for restructuring and integration * High-level approaches for emerging HPC architectures, including clusters of reconfigurable computing units, multicore processors, and other hybrid, hardware accelerator techniques such as GPGPU, cell processors, and FPGA. * Approaches to component composition, development, deployment, repositories, debugging, and testing for components in HPC environments Submissions Guidelines and Workshop Proceedings CBHPC welcomes two types of submissions: 1.

The extensive research and development in the past few years have pushed the SOC technology into business process, high performance computing, web-based services, embedded systems, and many other important areas. With more and more services moved into the "cloud" and ubiquitous end devices that interface with physical environments becoming prevalent, it is time that we reexamine the directions of SOC research and identify new research opportunities and challenges to advance the technology. SOCA'09 provides an international forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of service-oriented computing. All accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of SOCA 2009 and be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI. Best papers from the proceedings will be selected for publication in the Springer Journal on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA) or special issues in international journals to be announced. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Service-oriented architecture * Service-oriented software engineering * Service system technology * Service-oriented semantic computing * SOC for cyber-physical systems * Embedded and real-time services * Grid and cloud services * Service-oriented applications PAPER SUBMISSION Papers presenting original and unpublished work are invited and will be evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Submitted papers should be formatted in a two-column IEEE Computer Society format (URL: http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm) and should not exceed eight pages including figures and references.

Thanks for advertising it to potentially interested colleagues. Best regards, Laurent Lefevre and Jean-Marc Pierson ----- Call for Contributions to ERCIM News News No. 79 (October 2009) (also available at http://ercim-news.ercim.org/content/view/12/21/) ---------------------------------------------------------- DEADLINE FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: Wednesday 2 September 2009 - Articles have to be sent to the local editor for your country (see http://ercim-news.ercim.org/content/view/7/16/) or to the central editor peter.kunz at ercim.org - Please read the guidelines below before submitting an article The sections of ERCIM News 79 are : - Joint ERCIM Actions - The European Scene - Special Theme: "Towards Green ICT" - R&D and Technology Transfer - Events - In Brief --------------------------- Special Theme: "Towards Green ICT" coordinated by: Laurent Lefevre, INRIA, University of Lyon, France Jean-Marc Pierson, IRIT, Universit? Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France The question of energy usage is becoming an important issue in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). To face environmental crisis and reduce energy costs, energy aware and energy efficient solutions for ICT must be proposed and experimented. This ERCIM News special theme invites short articles on new approaches, frameworks and applications that will help to design Green ICT. Topics : - Energy aware and energy efficient ICT - Green business operations using ICT - Real-life experiences of energy reduction with and in ICT - Monitoring, modeling and predicting energy consumption - Energy consumption optimization - Energy-efficient ICT management - Innovative approaches for Green ICT in large scale distributed systems - Energy efficient data centers, Grids, Clouds and clusters - ICT as a mean to reduce energy - Carbon reporting in ICT - Energy benchmarking in ICT - ICT as a tool to optimize energy consumption - Green computing, Green networking , Green programming for energy efficient ICT Reviewing: Articles submitted to the special theme are subject to a review process. ---------------------------------- Guidelines for ERCIM News articles ---------------------------------- Style: ERCIM News is read by a large variety of people. Keeping this in mind the article should be descriptive (emphasize more the 'what' than the 'how') without too much technical detail together with an illustration, if possible. Contributions in ERCIM News are normally presented without formulas. One can get a long way with careful phrasing, although it is not always wise to avoid formulas altogether. In cases where authors feel that the use of formulas is necessary to clarify matters, this should be done in a separate box (to be treated as an illustration). However, formulas and symbols scattered through the text must be avoided as much as possible. Length: Keep the article short, i.e. 700-800 words. Format: Submissions preferably in ASCII text or MS Word. Pictures/Illustrations must be submitted as separate files (not embedded in a MS Word file) in a resolution/quality suitable for printing. Structure of the article: The emphasis in ERCIM News is on 'NEWS'. This should be reflected in both title and lead ('teaser'). Also: NO REVIEW ARTICLES! - Title - Author (full name, max. two or three authors) - Teaser: a few words about the project/topic. Printed in bold face, this part is intended to raise interest.

This special issue follows the Provenance Challenge 3 workshop on the same topic, but is open also to contributions by teams that were not represented at the workshop. (1) Background Data products are increasingly being produced and ?mashed-up? by the composition of services and data supplied by multiple parties using a variety of databases, data analysis, management, and collection technologies. This approach is particular evident in e-Science where scientists combine sensor data and shared Web-accessible databases using a variety of local and remote data analysis routines to produce experimental results, which they published and get reused by other scientists. In such environments, provenance (also referred to as audit trail, lineage, and pedigree) plays a critical role as it enables users to understand, verify, reproduce, and ascertain the quality of data products. An important challenge in the context of these compositional applications is how to integrate the provenance data produced by different systems to be able to construct the full provenance of complex data products across the different systems involved in their derivation. To that end, a common data model for provenance, the Open Provenance Model (OPM), was proposed to help ease the integration of provenance data across the heterogeneous environments used for running such applications. To evaluate the suitability of OPM and gain practical experience with interoperability issues related to provenance across heterogeneous systems, 14 teams from across the world have participated in the Third Provenance Challenge since March 2nd. During this challenge, teams have exchanged provenance data between their provenance systems using OPM. They have developed OPM serializations in both RDF and XML, ran provenance queries over the exchanged data, and began to create common tools for use with OPM. (2) Topics The aim of the special issue is to provide an archival view of the state-of-the-art of both practical and theoretical issues related to provenance interoperability across systems using the Open Provenance Model. We therefore encourage submissions in the following areas: * Theoretical considerations pertaining to the Open Provenance Model * Semantic inter-operability with the Open Provenance Model * System issues and OPM (including integration, performance, storage) * Provenance models and comparisons with OPM * Real applications making use of OPM; usability of provenance * Open Provenance Model and databases * Domain specific specialisations of the Open Provenance Model * Query languages for OPM * Interoperable queries over the Open Provenance Model * Provenance tools that use OPM (3) Instructions to the authors Two types of submissions are permitted: * short papers should have a maximum length of 6 pages, whereas * long papers should be limited to 12 pages. Articles should be submitted electronically via the journal?s online submission and peer-review systems at http://ees.elsevier.com/fgcs/. LATEX and Word format are acceptable. Formatting instructions are available from the submission page. (4) Tentative Schedule 1. Submission deadline: December 15 2009 2. Notification of acceptance: March 30 2010 3. Camera ready version: May 15 2010 The schedule may be subject to revisions. Prospective authors are invited to make themselves known to the editors ahead of time to facilitate the harmonization of the issue and ensure that the authors will be informed of any change. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Increasing computational capacities coupled with the ubiquity of networking have resulted in widespread digitization of information, thereby creating fundamentally new possibilities for managing information. Recent progress in scientific and engineering applications has accumulated huge volumes of high-dimensional data, stream data and spatial and temporal data. Highly scalable and sophisticated data mining tools for such most active research frontiers in data mining. Data mining is a non-trivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially useful and ultimately understandable patterns in data. In this book various trends and new domains will be considered through both theoretical and practical perspectives for knowledge discovery practices and emerging applications of data mining. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CFP for Journal Special Issue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: CFP: Special Issue on International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems From: lei.shu at live.ie To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on: "Mobile, Multimedia, Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks" Ad hoc and sensor networks have received considerable attention from both the academic community and industry for many years, since these networks are the key underlying infrastructure for realising next generation networking and computing, e.g., ubiquitous computing, 4 G all IP networks. Along with the rapid development of hardware and embedded systems, ad hoc and sensor networks are being further developed towards a large number of mobile and multimedia applications, e.g., video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, advanced healthcare delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial process control. To eventually realise these mobility and multimedia technologies combined applications, significant efforts are still needed from both the academic community and industrial fields, since the requirements for supporting both mobility and multimedia streaming in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks raise many challenging issues, e.g., mobile network self-organisation, limited resource intelligent allocation, cross-layer optimisation, and intelligent content-aware transmission. http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=1228 Guest Editors: Dr. Victor Leung Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of British Columbia, 2332 Main Mall, Vancouver, B.C., V6T 1Z4, Canada, Tel: +1-604-822-6932; Fax: +1-604-822-5949, E-mail: vleung at ece.ubc.ca Dr. Min Chen Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of British Columbia, 2332 Main Mall, Vancouver, B.C., V6T 1Z4, Canada, Tel: +1-778-878-1688; Fax: +1-604-822-5949 E-mail: minchen at ece.ubc.ca Dr. Lei Shu Digital Enterprise Research Institute, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland Tel: +353-91-494305; Fax: +353-91-495541 E-mail: lei.shu at ieee.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: CFP: Special Issue on Cryptographic Hardware & Embedded Systems From: nsklavos at ieee.org To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on ?Cryptographic Hardware & Embedded Systems? ?Information Security Journal: A Global Perspective?, The official Journal of (ISC)2, A Taylor & Francis Group Publication Web: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/1065898X.asp Manuscript Submission: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/uiss GUEST EDITORS: Dr. Nicolas Sklavos, Informatics & MM Dept, Technological Educational Institute of Patras, HELLAS E-mail: nsklavos at ieee.org Web: www.nsklavos.gr Ralph Spencer Poore, CFE, CISA, CISSP, CHS-III, CTGA, QSA Cryptographic Assurance Services LLC,USA E-mail: rspoore at ralph-s-poore.com Web: www.cryptographicassuranceservices.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE TCSC News and Announcements ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: The Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2009) Results From: parashar at rutgers.edu To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca The Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2009) Results: 1st Place: Large Scale Problem Solving Using Automatic Code Generation and Distributed Visualization Eloisa Bentivegna, Peter Diener, Jinghua Ge, Andrei Hutanu, Cornelius Toole, Ravi Paruchuri, Erik Schnetter, Jian Tao and Gabrielle Allen 2nd Place: TItle: Megha Workflow Engine: fMRI Brain Image Analysis on Amazon EC2 and S3 Clouds Suraj Pandey, James E Dobson, William Voorsluys, Christian Vecchiola, Dileban Karunamoorthy, Xingchen Chu, Rajkumar Buyya http://www.ieeetcsc.org/node/165 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: TCSC European Regional Forum From: salvatore.venticinque at gmail.com To: cse-cfp at cse.stfx.ca The new address of TCSC European Regional Forum is: http://tcsc.unina2.it The primary aim of the European Regional forums is to create a Technical Resource Center that maintain listing of projects/activities happening in TCSC areas of interest.

Through management systems, rogue elements can perpetrate targeted as well as system-wide fraud, theft of services, and disruption of capabilities and management data. Worse yet, due to the extended, pervasive reach of management systems, rogues can get a stranglehold on the IT and networking resources of an enterprise, entire industry sectors, even national critical infrastructures or governments. Consequently, interest in the security aspects of management systems has sky rocketed. Security is an essential feature, not an after-thought, of an information enterprise. The commercial sector is pursuing double-digit growth rates for IT and network security spending. Corporations embracing e-business strategies that involve integration of systems and resources with business partners want assurances that their internal resources will not be compromised by vulnerable management systems, internal or external. Corporations and governments remain at risk for cyber attack on mission-critical management components. Legislation is making security an R&D priority. This special issue of the Journal of Network and Systems Management in collaboration with IEEE CNOM (Committee on Network Operation and Management) and CISTC (Communications and Information Security) Technical Committees will consider topics associated with both the management of security in telecommunications, network, and systems environments, and the security for management systems in such environments. Submissions may span a broad range of topics, e.g.,: - Security and management in wireless, multicast, multi-media and/or converged environments - Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP); continuity issues for security and management in CIP - Threats, vulnerabilities and requirements for security management and management system security - Policies and SLAs for managed security and security for management systems - Security Policy Management - Attack management systems and management systems as attack platforms - Scalability, efficiency and reliability of secure management and security management solutions - End-to-end secure management and security management across distributed domains - High assurance and trustworthy management - The Common Criteria in standardizing security characteristics of management systems - Managed security service provisioning and managed security service providers - Security management best practices - Testing and Evaluating security management and management system security solutions - Open Source solutions for security management and management system security - Detection, analysis and elimination of exposures and attacks in management systems - Legal, insurance and Board Room liabilities, linked liabilities and product liabilities - Laws and policies on management systems, operations, administration and maintenance - Integration of security and management with business goals/strategies - Case studies and experiences of secure management and security management systems Instructions to Contributors: Authors are invited to prepare their manuscripts in single-column, double-spaced format, and submit at http://www.editorialmanager.com/jons/.
