-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [IEEE Educ Society] India-wide conference Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:52:26 -0400 From: reilly(a)media.mit.edu Reply-To: reilly(a)media.mit.edu To: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Hello Gustaf, I have something else to share with you about the development of services that the IEEE Education Society will provide to our members. It's a conference in India. I hope to meet many IEEE Education Society members who attend. I want to develop an annual conference in India that focuses on the mission of the IEEE Education Society. I want that conference to be accessible and inexpensive. I have been very fortunate to have enlisted several leaders in IEEE India leaders are leading this effort. The leaders of the IEEE Kerala Section and the IEEE India Council are supporting this effort. Now I can just get out of their way and move onto the next item (note: aside from staying married while holding the office of president). Gustaf, hopefully this conference can be held simultaneously in several venues throughout India thus easing the cost and logistics of travel. We also hope to have speakers attend this event via teleconference from outside India. This first conference will be excellent and will also be a starting point; from there we will build and evolve this terrific conference. -Rob- reilly(a)media.mit.edu Rob Reilly Ed.D.

Fwd: [computational.science] ScalA@SC 2011: Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] ScalA@SC 2011: Call for Papers Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:44:17 -0400 From: Christian Engelmann <engelmannc(a)computer.org> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> We apologize if you receive multiple copies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2nd Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems (ScalA) held in conjunction with the 24th IEEE/ACM International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC) 2011 November 14, 2011, Seattle, WA, USA <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2011/> Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points. Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Scientific key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems. Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers not exceeding 8 letter size (8.5x11) pages including figures, tables and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. Reference style files are available at <http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confer….> All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair for more information. Papers should be submitted electronically at: <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scala2011.> Important Dates: Full paper submission: 12 September, 2011 Notification of acceptance: 17 October, 2011 Camera-ready submission: 7 November, 2011 Early registration: 17 October, 2011 Late registration: 13 November, 2011 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel scientific algorithms that improve performance, scalability, resilience and power efficiency - Porting scientific algorithms and applications to many-core and heterogeneous architectures - Performance and resilience limitations of scientific algorithms and applications at scale - Crosscutting approaches (system software and applications) in addressing scalability challenges - Scientific algorithms that can exploit extreme concurrency (e.g. 1 billion for exascale by 2018) - Naturally fault tolerant, self-healing or fault oblivious scientific algorithms - Programming model and system software support for algorithm scalability and resilience Workshop Chairs: - Prof. Vassil Alexandrov, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain - Al Geist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA - Prof. Jack Dongarra, The University of Tennessee, USA Workshop Program Chair - Dr. Christian Engelmann, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA Program Committee: - Prof. Vassil Alexandrov, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain - Dr. Rob Allan, Daresbury Laboratory, UK - Prof. George Bosilca, University of Tennessee, USA - Dr. Greg Bronevetsky, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA - Prof. Marian Bubak, AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland and University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands - Dr. Franck Cappello, INRIA/UIUC, France/USA - Prof. Zizhong Chen, Colorado School of Mines, USA - Prof. Jack Dongarra, The University of Tennessee, USA - Dr. Christian Engelmann, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA - Dr. George Fann, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA - Al Geist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA - Dr. Curtis Janssen, Sandia National Laboratories, USA - Dr. Kirk E.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Cloud Views 2011 - 3rd Cloud Computing International Conference Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:03:46 -0500 From: Cloud Views <postmaster13(a)303media.net> Reply-To: ines(a)dcc.fc.up.pt <ines(a)dcc.fc.up.pt> To: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at "Cloud Computing& You" 3rd Cloud Computing International Conference (CloudViews 2011) October 17-18, 2011 Porto, Portugal EuroCloud Portugal 2011.cloudviews.org General Chair: Inês Dutra, University of Porto, ines(a)dcc.fc.up.pt Recognizing the potential of the Cloud Computing paradigm for ICT evolution, the CloudViews.Org project was launched in the end of 2007. Initially created by independent entrepreneurs, researchers and technical staff of the Porto Polytechnic Institute, CloudViews.Org aimed at promoting and discussing technologies related with Cloud Computing. Following the CloudViews.Org spirit, the EuroCloud Portugal Association (www.eurocloud.pt), a non profit organization, was created in January 2010. The CloudViews project has already organized two international conferences on Cloud Computing. "To Cloud or not to Cloud" was the main theme of the first edition, held in Porto, Portugal, in 2009. "Cloud Ecosystem" was the theme of CloudViews 2010, which was also held in Porto, Portugal with the help of the Eurocloud Association. In that edition, academia, business people and decision makers gathered together to present their views, which motivated a lively debate where all ICT players were challenged to think about how to achieve a true Cloud Ecosystem. CloudViews 2011, in its third edition, moves a step forward by defying academia, business people and decision makers to think about their relationship with the clouds. "Cloud Computing& You", the main theme of the third edition of CloudViews has as its main goal to raise awareness and analyse the impact of Cloud Computing on small and medium business (SME), as well as on individual users. Around the theme "Cloud Computing& You", CloudViews 2011 welcomes contributions from several fields related to cloud computing, including, but not limited to, scientific computing applications, performance evaluation and resource management, predictability and provision platforms, storage clouds architectures and implementations, cloud computing security: models and frameworks, cloud interoperability, scheduling mechanisms, elastic platforms, service level agreements, fault tolerant architectures and implementations, human factors in computing systems, cloud usability, and business models in the cloud. Submissions of full (8 pages maximum) and short papers (4 pages maximum) must conform to 2 columns IEEE style, in PDF format and offer new, unpublished, original contributions. All contributions must be written in English and submitted electronically through the CV2011 Easy Chair conference system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cloudviews2011. Reviews will be double-blinded. Prepare your paper without any authors names or affiliations and avoid explicit self-references such as "in a previous work, we [ref]...". Give preference to sentences like: "in a previous work, Smith et al [ref]...". Also avoid the inclusion of acknowledgements and references to funding agencies in your submission version.

However, they frequently lack a solid appreciation of the related safety and security issues, and can be missing out on an essential aspect of awareness in everyday life. Indeed, users are often concerned about online threats, but it would be stretching the point to claim that they are fully aware of the problems. Thus, rather than actually protecting themselves, many will simply accept that they are taking a risk. This paper examines the problem of establishing end-user eSafety awareness, and proposes means by which related issues can be investigated and addressed. Recognising that long-term attitudes and practices will be shaped by early experiences with the technology, it is particularly important to address the issue early and improve awareness amongst young people. However, the problem is unlikely to be addressed via the approaches that would traditionally be applied with adult users. As such, the paper examines information gathering and awareness-raising strategies drawing from qualitative methodologies in the social sciences, whose pluralistic approach can be effectively applied within school contexts.

Buchanan, Edinburgh Napier University, UK Investigators often define invasion of privacy as collateral damage. Inquiries that require gathering data from third parties, such as banks, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or employers are likely to impact the relationship between the data subject and the data controller. In this research a novel privacy-preserving approach to mitigate collateral damage during the acquisition process is presented. This approach is based on existing Private Information Retrieval (PIR) protocols, which cannot be employed in an investigative context. This paper provides analysis of the investigative data acquisition process and proposes three modifications that can enable existing PIR protocols to perform investigative enquiries on large databases, including communication traffic databases maintained by ISPs. IDAP is an efficient Symmetric PIR (SPIR) protocol optimised for the purpose of facilitating public authorities? enquiries for evidence. It introduces a semi-trusted proxy into the PIR process in order to gain the acceptance of the general public. In addition, the dilution factor is defined as the level of anonymity required in a given investigation. This factor allows investigators to restrict the number of records processed, and therefore, minimise the processing time, while maintaining an appropriate level of privacy.

The main objective has been the high quality of the provided services. However, considering that older equipment with limited processing capabilities may be present in such environments, a tradeoff between security and service quality is inevitable. Specifically, low resource enabled devices cannot utilize state of the art security mechanisms, such as IPSec tunnels, integrity mechanisms, etc., and they simply employ HTTP Digest authentication. The lack of integrity mechanisms in particular raises many security concerns for the IMS infrastructures. Attacks such as Man in the Middle (MitM), spoofing, masquerading, and replay that can be launched in IMS environments, have been pinpointed in bibliography by various researchers. Moreover, an internal attacker may utilize his legitimate security tunnels in order to launch spoofing and identity theft attacks. This paper presents a cross-layer spoofing detection mechanism that protects SIP-based infrastructures from the majority of the aforementioned attacks without requiring an additional cryptographic scheme which would inevitably introduce considerable overheads.

This paper surveys the current state of knowledge concerning the use of cryptographic primitives for privacy-preservation in LBS applications.

In this article, a privacy-sensitive model that extends Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to provide privacy protection through fine-grained and just-in-time access control in Web information systems is proposed. Moreover, easy and effective mapping of corresponding components is recognized as an important factor for succeeding in matching security and privacy objectives. Such a process is proposed to be accomplished by capturing and modeling privacy requirements in the early stages of information system development. Therefore, a methodology for deploying the mechanisms of an access control system conforming to the proposed Privacy Improved Role-Based Access Control (PIRBAC) model is presented. To illustrate the application of the proposed methodology, an application example in the healthcare domain is described.

International Journal of Information Technologies and the Systems Approach (IJITSA) Guest Editors: Dr. José-Rodrigo Córdoba Pachón, Royal Holloway, University of London Dr. Jorge Marx-Gomez, University of Oldenburg, Germany INTRODUCTION: Economic recession, global environmental concerns and availability of mobile technologies among other factors have contributed to the emergence of alternative computing infrastructures, products and service that promise individuals and organizations cleaner and more responsible information processing. A scheme that is now being popularized and put forward by technology providers is that of ?cloud? computing, which could help organizations reduce their operation and capital expenses whilst giving flexibility to consumers and end users. The benefits of this and other schemes are yet to be realized in particular regarding their environmental impacts within and beyond data processing facilities. Concerns about availability of energy to fuel computing platforms, mobile devices, offices or households still remain. Technology providers are competing to provide sophisticated devices and services whilst trying to balance their production and recycling processes with their carbon footprints. There are opportunities and challenges lying ahead for technology designers, managers and users in taking environmental and green concerns forward. OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: This special issue aims to facilitate debate and contributions on how the systems approach in its various forms and applications can help addressing issues of design, service use and implementation of computing infrastructures and facilities that emerge when environmental requirements are to be met. We intend to gather theoretical and practical contributions from academics practitioners, policy makers or planners who can provide systemic accounts of how technology can better conceived of or positioned in the wider societal and environmental spheres. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: ? Cloud computing, private or public clouds, mobile clouds ? Design of ?green? devices, computing platforms or computing infrastructures ? Evaluation of environmental impacts of information systems ? Information technology recycling ? Systemic methodology to plan and implement green IT policies or regulations ? Green supply chains supported by information technologies ? Conceptualisations of relationships between regulation, production and reuse of information technologies. ? Green IT Frameworks and Metrics ?
