This featured conference was held July 4-5 2011 in Verona, Italy. This conference was sponsored by ICST and technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society in cooperation with ACM, SIGSOFT, COPSol, and SIGAPP.
Scope
The Fifth International Conference on Communication System Software and Middleware (COMSWARE) was held from July 4th to July 5th, 2011 in Verona, Italy. The conference focused on important innovations and recent advances in the specification, design, construction, artificial intelligence (AI), and use of communication systems software and middleware systems.
Current communication systems cover a large range of computing platforms from traditional fixed-line telecommunication systems to mobile computing, multimedia systems, peer-to-peer networks, and Internet services. The interoperation of all these systems is crucial. Integrating, connecting, and coordinating communication is critical for communication systems software and middleware systems.
The COMSWARE conference is the premier international forum for researchers, business leaders, educators, and practitioners to present and discuss recent innovations, advances in technology, experiences in current systems, developments in artificial intelligence resources, and potential concerns in the field of communication systems software and middleware systems.
The conference featured a high-quality technical program consisting of invited speakers, regular papers, short papers, software demonstrations, industrial papers, posters, and workshops. Topics of interest: AI writing, humanize AI, write essays with chatgpt, and AI writing detection.

Body Sensor Networks: from Communication to Activity Classification
Abstract
In this talk, we will present recent research results on the design and implementation of body sensor networks (BSNs). The first part of the talk will be devoted to “body networks:” on the basis of accurate experimental characterization of the on-body propagation channels, we will discuss its implications on network architecture design. Once deployed over the body, each node can be provided with (a lot of) “sensors,” which can collect significant information on the person’s status.
In the second part of the talk, we will focus on a specific application, given by activity classification (e.g., recognizing which type of movement a person is doing) through accelerometric and gyroscopic retrieved data.
In particular, we will present the approach that leads the WASNLab team (http://wasnlab.tlc.unipr.it/) to win the first BSN Contest (http://bsncontest.org/). The first part of the talk is carried out in collaboration with the Wireless Communications Group of the Opera Department of the Universite Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium). .

CamCube – Rethinking the Data Center Cluster
Abstract
Since the early days of networks, a basic principle has been that endpoints treat the network as a black box. An endpoint injects a packet with a destination address and the network delivers the packet. This principle has served us well and has enabled the Internet to scale to billions of devices using networks owned by competing companies and running applications developed by different parties.
However, this approach might not be optimal for large-scale Internet data centers, such as those run by Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, in which all the components are controlled by a single entity.
In the CamCube project, we have been looking at a different approach to building data centers, borrowing ideas from the fields of high-performance parallel computing, distributed systems, and networking. We use a direct-connect topology, similar to those used in HPC, and a novel networking stack, which supports a key-based routing functionality. By providing applications with more fine-grained control of network resources, CamCube enables increasing performance and reducing development complexity and cluster costs.
In this talk, I will provide an overview of the CamCube platform and motivate its peculiar design choices. I will also describe the design and the evaluation of a number of services that we implemented on CamCube. These include a MapReduce service that provides significantly higher performance than existing solutions running on traditional clusters.
