abstract: The Nano-Net conference positions itself at the intersection of two worlds, namely, emerging nano-technologies on one-side, and network/communication theory on the other side. The standing question that this conference will address is: What are the new communication paradigms that derive from the transition from micro- to nano-scale devices?

abstract: Web 2.0 technologies are empowering us in ways we could only have imagined even just a few years ago. We're able to build more, connect more, have more fun, sell more stuff, share more than ever before—and do it all faster. But as the pace of change and innovation accelerates, separating signal from noise, useful from annoying, genuine from fluff becomes increasingly challenging.

What tools and applications are right for a given project? How can we provide a more meaningful experience for users and customers? How can we have a positive impact on the world we live in? What are the ways we can create more value for our businesses? How do we gather and focus datapoints to deliver relevant information? How can we increase conversation and collaboration?

abstract: OneWebDay is now yours. It’s our gift to you. We hope you’ll use it well.

The idea is to use the day, September 22, to reflect on how the Internet has changed the world and how you’d like it to change the world in the future.

It’s a day to do good works (connect more people, teach them how) and consider activism (what government policies would you like to change or initiate?). It’s a day to do these things visibly, in public, so that we get a visual sense that people care about the future of the Internet and are willing to expend some energy to have an effect on it.

The Internet is not unchangeable - we shouldn’t take it for granted - and there are many forces around the world that want to constrain the change and growth that the Internet makes possible. The purpose of OneWebDay is to focus attention and interest on these issues around the globe.

abstract: IWSOS 2008 is the third workshop in a series of annual workshops dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems. The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future networked systems, like the future Internet. For example, these networks will consist of interconnected infrastructure-based, mobile ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user requirements, such as resilience and real-time guarantees. Although self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited.

abstract: Over the past decade there has been a growing interaction between researchers in theoretical computer science, networking and security, economics, mathematics, sociology, and management sciences devoted to the analysis of problems arising in the Internet and the worldwide web.

The Workshop on Internet & Network Economics (WINE) is an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas and results arising in these varied fields. The 4th edition of WINE will take place in December 2008, at Shanghai, China --- an exciting megalopolis experiencing an unprecedented social and economical phase transition, and thus a very appropriate locale for WINE.

All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the quality of their contribution, originality, soundness, and significance. Industrial applications and position papers presenting novel ideas, issues, challenges and directions are also welcome.
