The effort to develop such heterogeneous networks is linked with many technical challenges including seamless vertical handovers across WLAN and 3G radio technologies, security, 3G-based authentication, unified accounting & billing, WLAN sharing (by several 3G networks), consistent QoS and service provisioning, etc. The need to address these issues and provide timely, solid technical contributions in the area of WLAN/3G integration establishes the motivation behind this special issue proposal. In response to the above demand for integrated WLAN/3G mobile data networks, the proposed special issue aims at providing a timely and concise reference of the current activities and findings in the relevant technical fields. The primary goal is to address the key technical issues pertaining to WLAN/3G integration and present novel technical contributions. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): - 3G-based authentication - Security issues - Access to 3G-based services (e.g. WAP, MMS) from WLANs - Access to 3G multimedia services from WLANs - Seamless session handover between WLAN and 3G - WLAN information advertisement - WLAN sharing / 3G network selection - Consistent QoS across WLAN and 3G - 3G-based online/offline billing - 3G voice services over WLANs - Interworking architectures and scenarios - Value added services with WLAN-3G integration - Performance evaluation studies - Standardization activities - Extension of location services to WLANs.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP IASTED International Journal of Computers and Applications on 'System and Networking for Smart Objects' Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2003 20:29:55 +0100 From: David Simplot-Ryl <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> To: <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: arp(a)cines.fr, com-info(a)lifl.fr, alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr, tarot(a)hds.utc.fr Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ================================================================== Call for Papers IASTED International Journal of Computers and Applications (IJCA) Special Issue on 'System and Networking for Smart Objects' http://www.actapress.com/journals/specialca2.htm Purpose IASTED International Journal of Computers and Applications (IJCA), by ACTA Press, seeks articles for a special issue on System and Networking for Smart Objects, to appear in January 2005. The guest editors for this special issue are David Simplot-Ryl and Gilles Grimaud, University of Lille, France, and Jean-Jacques Vandewalle, Gemplus Systems Research Labs, France. The ubiquitous sudden increase of new networked devices and the fast proliferation of distributed computing involving all kinds of computing devices create a unique challenge. Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. The concept of 'smart object' is defined as the junction between miniaturization with the development of wireless communications. A large number of applications in daily life enriched can be imagined: from PDA networks to smart space, from wireless smartcard to smart fridges. Smart objects like smartcards, RFID tags, wireless sensors, smart dust, require suitable basic software which takes into account the specificity of smart objects: limited resources, transient communication links, mobile and untrusted environment, etc. These constraints impact in operating system design which represents a huge challenge for a great number of research activities. The goal of this special issue of the International Journal of Computers and Applications by ACTA Press, USA, is to publish original research and review articles in the domains of operating system and networking for smart devices given below. Areas of relevant interest we foresee (but not limited to) include: - Smart devices like smartcards, RFID tags, sensors and smart dusts - Embedded operating system dedicated to smart objects - Mobile and ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery - Design principles and techniques for smart embedded systems - Middleware services for deployment and management of smart objects - Security and safety issues of ubiquitous computing systems - Location-dependent / personalized applications - Wireless sensor networks and group management of sensor nodes Submission and timetable The submission deadline is February 20, 2004. Send papers as .pdf file to David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr. Papers must be written in English and must confine to a maximum of 18 pages (including abstract page, equations, tables, all figures, references, author biographies and photos (optional)) with double-line spacing per page. Clear fonts with 12-pt size must be used. All the pages shall be numbered. If there are any photographs to be included good quality printing must be used to aid referees to see the photographs clearly. Avoid coloring any graphs unless use of color shades is meant for any technical purposes. References shall be typed in a consistent format throughout and must be referenced in the order they appear. Manuscripts should strictly follow the guidelines of ACTA Press, given at the following website: http://www.actapress.com/journals/submission.htm Manuscript Submission: February 20, 2004 Acceptance Notification: June 20, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2004 Publication: January 2005 Guest co-editors David SIMPLOT-RYL IRCICA/LIFL, Univ.
