[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks]
by Lars Wolf 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:15:38 -0500 From: Jeff Wieselthier <wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/wireless_adhoc.html * *Novel approaches are needed to address ad hoc networks, which are characterized by the lack of an infrastructure. For example, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint modes of communication must be supported in a multihop network that typically consists of small (often disadvantaged) users that are characterized by severely limited energy supply, signal-processing capability, antenna directivity, bandwidth, etc. Crucial applications for mobile ad hoc networks include military communications and disaster relief, although commercial applications are certainly possible as well. In applications with a large number of nodes, scalability is a major concern. The study of ad hoc networks is an interdisciplinary one, which can potentially incorporate communication and information theory, distributed networking algorithms, data structures and compression, coding, signal processing, detection, antenna characteristics, optimization methods, simulation, testbed implementations etc. Papers submitted for this special issue must directly address ad hoc networking issues. We outline here only a few of the many aspects of ad hoc network design and control that will be addressed in this special issue. First, distributed network organization algorithms (such as those for clustering) may be used to create the equivalent of an ad hoc infrastructure. Distributed algorithms are also needed for routing, channel access, and other control functions. Networking techniques for ad hoc networks must address the challenges imposed by the all-wireless environment. For example, by contrast with wired networks, the conventional layered protocol stack is not well suited to the ad hoc wireless networking environment because it does not exploit the potential improvements in performance that can be obtained by jointly designing protocols that span multiple layers. Specifically, it is expected that improved performance can be obtained by considering the properties of the physical and data link layers when designing and operating the media-access control (MAC) protocol. Similarly, there are potential benefits to be obtained by developing protocols that address jointly the routing and MAC functions. Additional benefits can be obtained by jointly addressing higher-layer functions along with routing and MAC. Energy-aware protocols (from the perspective of either energy-efficient or energy-constrained operation) are of critical importance in many ad hoc scenarios. Such energy-aware operation can span multiple layers, e.g., by addressing trade-offs between energy used for RF transmission and for signal processing. It is the goal of this special issue to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks by examining all aspects of ad hoc network design and control, including the dependencies between various network functions and the potential benefits that can be gained by cross-layer design. We are interested in papers on fundamental performance limits, but more importantly on algorithm design and performance, system implementations, etc. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Physical layer issues in ad hoc networks * Media Access Control (MAC) techniques * Self-organizing architectures and protocols * Routing protocols * Cross-layer protocol design * Mobility management * Protocols for mobile applications * Transport-layer issues * Signal-processing issues in ad hoc networks * Integration with wired networks * Applications * Energy-aware protocols * Security in ad hoc networks * Capacity and scheduling * Node implementation * Effects on existing protocols * Quality of service * Broadcasting and multicasting * Multimedia and traffic integration * Experiments and testbeds * Error-control schemes * Synchronization and scheduling * Scalability * Performance analysis and simulation * Properties of antennas * Optimization methods * Fundamental limits in ad hoc networks All papers on any of the above topics must include a definite and strong connection to ad hoc networks. Please contact Jeffrey Wieselthier at wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil if there are any questions about the suitability of the paper for this special issue. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE J-SAC format described in the Information for Authors at the J-SAC website.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Econmics and Information Security 2003 - Final Call for Papers Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 14:18:37 +0000 From: Ross Anderson <Ross.Anderson(a)cl.cam.ac.uk> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Economics and Information Security Second Annual Workshop May 29-30, University of Maryland http://www.cpppe.umd.edu/rhsmith3/index.html Do we spend enough on keeping `hackers' out of our computer systems? Do we not spend enough? Or do we spend too much? For that matter, do we spend too little on the police and the army, or too much? And do we spend our security budgets on the right things? The economics of security is a rapidly growing field of research. More and more people are coming to realise that security failures are often due to perverse incentives rather than to the lack of suitable technical protection mechanisms. (Indeed, the former often explain the latter.) While much recent research has been on `cyberspace' security issues - from hacking through fraud to copyright policy - the field is expanding to throw light on `everyday' security issues at one end, and to provide new insights and new problems for theoretical computer scientists and `normal' economists at the other. In the commercial world, as in the world of diplomacy, there can be complex linkages between security arguments and economic ends.

Meanwhile, wireless LAN (WLAN) technology is becoming increasingly popular for providing IP connectivity in corporate, campus, and other hotspot environments and is seen by some as a potential platform for 4G wireless. WLAN technology is relatively cheap and quick to deploy, and provides high data rates. On the other hand, 3G technology can provide wide-area coverage. Do WLANs and 3G networks have to compete, or can they be complementary? The complementary characteristics of 3G networks and WLANs has raised much interest in the integration of 3G and WLAN. This topic has attracted much attention in the industry as well as in academia. The integration between 3G wireless and WLAN is highly significant to make wireless multimedia and other high data rate services a reality to a large population. This special issue of IEEE Communications Magazine seeks to provide an opportunity to publish a series of state-of-the-art papers in the area of 3G and WLAN integration. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: · Interworking architectures between 3G wireless and WLANs · Services in integrated 3G wireless/WLAN environments · Standardization activities in 3G/WLAN · Mobility management in integrated 3G/WLAN architectures · Authentication and security in integrated 3G/WLAN · Network management and billing issues in integrated 3G/WLAN · Hardware and software issues for mobile stations supporting integrated 3G and WLAN technologies · Quality of service and policy issues · Interworking of radio resource management · Mapping of functions and services between 3G and WLAN Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines regarding the manuscript and its format.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers (MSGID:20030218083834) Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 15:00:23 +0800 From: CFP SYSTEM <cfp(a)cs.tku.edu.tw> To: <Lars.Wolf(a)KOM.tu-darmstadt.de> Call for Papers IEEE Communication Magazine IPv6 - The basis for the next generation Internet Background The next version of the Internet Protocol called IPv6 has evolved considerably since it was first defined in the early 90's. Whereas the main thrust of IPv6 is the greatly increased addressing space, which is expected to provide ample address space for the foreseeable future, IPv6 also introduces several other features like integrated security (IPsec), integrated multicasting, improved mobility support (Mobile IPv6), QoS support with the provisioning of flow labels and autoconfiguration. Router products supporting dual stack operation with IPv4 and IPv6 have entered the market during the last two years. Nevertheless the adoption of IPv6 is progressing rather slowly. This is mainly due to the fact that the introduction of a new network layer is a difficult and expensive step for network operators and ISPs and a strong demand for IPv6 from the user perspective is still lacking. However, the shortage of addresses particularly in Asia and Europe and the trend to mobile and ubiqitous networking makes the introduction of IPv6 an urgent issue. Scope of Expected Contributions We invite contributions covering all aspects of next generation, IPv6-based networks, including, but not limited to routing and address space management, security and privacy aspects, multicasting and multimedia distribution networks, mobile network architecture, impact on other protocol layers and services, as well as performance aspects in IPv6. In addition we invite contributions on IPv4 to IPv6 transition and introduction strategies, large scale IPv6 trial experiences and commercial service introduction, user requirements, as well as ubiquitous networking applications and IPv6 management and operations support. Preference will be given to contributions covering specific advantages or problems in large scale IPv6 networks, rather than to introductory IPv6 papers.
