Call for Demonstrations

IEEE CCNC 2011 Call for Demonstrations
Deadline: 15 September 2010

IEEE CCNC 2011
January 8 - 11, 2011, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/

IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference, sponsored by the
IEEE Communications Society, is a major annual international conference
organized with the objective of bringing together researchers,
developers, and practitioners from academia and industry working in all
areas of consumer communications and networking.

IEEE CCNC 2011 will feature a special demonstration session showcasing 
the latest technological advances in the area of consumer communications 
and networking. We invite researchers and developers from academic, 
industrial, and government laboratories to present their novel ideas, 
including works in progress and results that do not warrant a full 
technical paper. CCNC especially welcomes demonstrations of emerging and 
innovative technologies that have potential commercial application from 
nascent and incubating companies. Technology demonstrations, however, 
must be prototypes and/or research ideas -- they cannot consist of 
actual commercial products.

The demonstration session will provide an exciting forum for 
researchers, developers, and entrepreneurs to present and discuss new 
applications and techniques, research demonstrations, recent 
research/implementation results, upcoming research challenges, practical 
implementations, commercial developments, future directions and novel 
application concepts. We envision the demonstration session as a means 
to exhibit innovations that have the potential to change the future 
landscape of consumer communications and networking.

Submissions should be in the form of a proposal describing the main 
contributions of the demonstration and the merits of the proposed ideas. 
Be as specific as possible in describing what you will show. 
Demonstration proposals should be one or two pages in length and will 
appear in the conference proceedings. Submission guidelines and 
formatting details can be found under Author Information on the CCNC web 
site.

A technology prototype can range from a mockup using computers (instead 
of actual consumer devices) to a full-fledged collection of networked 
consumer devices. Each demonstration should be accompanied by a poster 
of approximately 30" by 40" describing your research. Of course, many 
variations are possible. Proposals should include space, power and 
networking requirements. A Demonstration Committee, headed by the 
demonstration chairs, will evaluate the proposals.  Proposals will be 
evaluated mainly based on their potential to stimulate interesting 
discussions, exchange of ideas, and promote collaborations.

Accepted demonstrations will be presented during a special demonstration 
session during the conference. The presenter is responsible for the 
demonstration and equipment setup. The presenter is expected to stand 
next to his/her exhibit and discuss the work with other conference 
attendees. Note that bandwidth of available Internet connection may vary 
in the demonstration room.

Please consult the demonstration chairs if you are uncertain whether 
your demonstration falls within the scope of the conference or if you 
require additional information.

Demo Proposals Due:              15 September 2010
Acceptance Notification:         20 September 2010
Final Camera Ready Submission:   1 October 2010

Demo Chair: Alan Kaplan, Drakontas LLC, USA

Hi,

I am proposing to use/implement a subset of this API inside a european
research project; let's see how it goes.

I have a question regarding the send() API.


4.3.2.  Receive


>    The receive call passes multicast data and the corresponding Group

   Name to the application.


>        int receive(int s, const uri group_name,

                   size_t msg_len, msg *msg_buf);


>    The s argument identifies the multicast socket.


>    The group_name argument identifies the multicast group for which data

   was received.


>    The msg_len argument holds the length of the received message.


>    The msg_buf argument points to the payload of the received multicast

   data.


>    On success the value 0 is returned, otherwise -1.



Is this a synchronous call?  What if there are multiple multicast sockets to
listen to, we need to create a separate thread for each?

I think we could use a select/poll/WaitForMultipleObjects equivalent for the
abstract multicast sockets.  I'd be happy to contribute text or ideas to
this end if you think is a good idea.

Best regards.

Hi Gustavo,

  many thanks for your interest on the API draft!

  Please, see comments inline.

  Yes, it is a synchronous call and thus you need separate threads for 
multiple receive calls. Is this a problem?

  As suggested in Section 3.2 (cf., Figure 2) one may implement the API 
based on a middleware. This middleware abstracts from current system 
sockets.

  In general, you can use one receive call at the application to receive 
data on multiple interfaces.

  The intention of the draft is to provide a basic set of primitives.

  Currently, we are not intending to define additional asynchronous 
polling mechanisms. However, we are happy to hear more about your 
thoughts and experiences.



Thanks again & Best regards

Not much is defined yet, not much to share.  The project is still starting.
 The web site is http://www.ict-alicante.eu/

In a few months I should have more info, then I will share.

It could be a scalability problem, depending on the context.  It's too early
to tell whether this will be a problem in my project.

Yes, but not one thread to receive data from multiple "multicast sockets",
as far as I can tell.

Ok.  In a few more months I should know.  In the mean time, keep up the good
work.

Sorry, after sending I realized I wanted to expand on this a bit, but
forgot.

This is not SAM-specific, but in any OS threads occupy resources that should
be considered.  Some OS'es have context switching penalties at runtime (CPU
time overhead).  All OSes have a memory overhead.  At the very least there's
a stack segment to be duplicated for each thread.  For instance, in Linux
the default stack size is 8 MB, therefore 10 threads for receiving from 10
sockets will waste 80 MB of RAM.

But, like I said, only time will tell if this is a problem in practice.

Best regards.

Hi all,

NomCom urges for nominations in several areas. Please take a look and 
consider to nominate appropriate candidates (including yourself).

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Folks,

Nominations have slowed down dramatically, so this update is to enlist
the community in an effort to pick up the pace.

We are very far behind in nominations for all the open positions but in
particular we need nominations for the IESG and IAOC open positions.
There have been no nominations received (other than for the incumbents)
in INT, RAI, and RTG, and only 1 for OPS.  Likewise, in IAOC there have
been no nominations submitted other than the incumbent.

The acceptance rates of those nominated has also been very slow. In
order to initiate the open list of willing nominees we are in need of a
reasonable number of acceptances, and due to the low number of nominees
and acceptances have delayed the start date for publishing the first
open list to September 20.  So if you have been nominated and are
willing to serve, but have not yet confirmed this by email back to the
NomCom, please do so as soon as possible.

We need Community input and participation! We cannot properly execute
the task of selecting the best candidates for these positions with so
few nominations and acceptances. So, please consider making
nominations for the open positions, in particular those for which we
have so few nominations – it takes just a few minutes of your time.
Right now, we just need the names/email addresses.

Why do we need more nominations?  Well, even if you think a willing
incumbent is doing a very good job and should be returned, his or her
ability to serve again might be impacted by unforeseen circumstances
between now and March. NomCom needs to consider multiple nominees to be
prepared in the event one or more candidates is unable to serve come next
March and to ensure we have chosen the best candidate.

There are several ways you can help the IETF Nominating Committee.

- You may nominate yourself.
- You can nominate someone you know whom you think would do a good job.

Do not worry about whether they might already be nominated. We would
much prefer to receive the same nomination several times rather than
miss a good person we should consider.

How to submit Nominations:
--------------------------
The list of positions we need to fill, and the provided Job
Descriptions, and forms for nominations, can be found in the call for
nominations at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ann/nomcom/2468/

You may enter a nomination by going to the following URL
https://wiki.tools.ietf.org/group/nomcom/10/nominate

You may also nominate someone by sending an email to nomcom10@ietf.org
and giving us their name, email address and the open position you are
nominating them for. We will take care of the rest.

If you are asked for a user name and password, use an existing ietf login
and password. If you need a login and password, request one from the tools
page at the following URL http://trac.tools.ietf.org/newlogin


Open List:
----------
As you already know, NomCom 2010-2011 will follow the policy for "Open
Disclosure of Willing Nominees" described in RFC 5680.

Feedback Collection:
--------------------
Once the open list is available, the entire community will be invited
to provide feedback. I will send a further announcement requesting
feedback on the nominees, describing how to submit feedback, and how to
view the open list of nominees.

Thank you,

Thomas Walsh
Chair, NomCom 2010-2011
