[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Revisiting IP QOS (RIPQOS), Karlsruhe Germany, Aug. 2003]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Revisiting IP QOS (RIPQOS), Karlsruhe Germany, Aug. 2003 Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2003 12:48:04 -0500 From: SIGCOMM 2003 <jpgs(a)acm.org> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu WORKSHOP ON REVISITING IP QOS: WHY DO WE CARE, WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED (RIPQOS) http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/ripqos In Conjunction with SIGCOMM 2003 Karlsruhe, Germany 27 August 2003 ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS For over a decade the Internet engineering and research community has debated, designed, and ignored IP Quality of Service (QoS) tools and techniques. There's a sense that something might be needed, but little agreement on why and who will pay. At times the very notion of QoS has seemed to be a pointless waste of time, almost a solution waiting for a problem. This workshop is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss the history of IP QoS research and development, review what could have been done better (or totally differently), and challenge the industry to think out of the box going forward. Papers are invited that provide well-argued opinion, speculation, or contrary positions. For example: - IP QoS schemes never quite seem complete. Is this just a great research game for academics? - Where's the money? How do we make IP QoS pay when typical Internet applications don't care, and the user's don't know any better? - Will online, multi-player games be the market segment that justifies end-user/access ISP investment in IP QoS tools and solutions? - Isn't more bandwidth the answer? Of particular interest are papers that critique the evolution of IP QoS solutions to date and/or explain what sort of applications and user mindset will need to emerge before IP QoS solutions become cost-effective for ISPs to deploy. A workshop report will be published in a special edition of SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review. Presented papers will be archived in workshop proceedings, and also placed in the ACM Digital Library. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT Papers should be no longer than 10 pages; submissions SHOULD be anonymized as much as practical, but this is not a requirement. If a paper's core message has been published (or accepted for publication) elsewhere the authors must provide new and additional argument and content in order to be considered for RIPQOS. See http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/ripqos/ripqos.html for full submission requirements in the near future. DEADLINES (Tentative; please check the Web page for updates) Submission deadline March 31, 2003 Notification of acceptance May 26, 2003 Camera ready papers due June 30, 2003 Workshop date August 27, 2003 ORGANIZERS Workshop Chair: Grenville Armitage, Swinburne University of Technology <garmitage(a)swin.edu.au> Workshop Program Committee: Mark Allman, NASA/BBN <mallman(a)grc.nasa.gov> kc claffy, CAIDA <kc(a)caida.org> Tristan Henderson, University College London <T.Henderson(a)cs.ucl.ac.uk> Geoff Huston, Telstra <gih(a)telstra.net> Derek ("Mac") Mcauley, Intel Research Labs <derek.mcauley(a)intel.com> Kathie Nichols, {unaffiliated} <kmn(a)mountainfog.com> John Wroclawski, MIT <jtw(a)lcs.mit.edu> Sebastian Zander, Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS <zander(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

Papers on all topics relevant to provisioning QoS over wireless networks LANs/Cellular (2.5G, 3G, 4G+) are solicited. These include, but not restricted to: - Scheduling and policing for mobile and wireless networks - Channel error compensation - Hand-off compensation - Differentiated Services for mobile and wireless networks - Integrated Services for mobile and wireless networks - MPLS for mobile and wireless networks - Traffic Engineering Deadline for paper submission: March 10, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: May 15, 2003 Camera-Ready Papers: July 15, 2003 Authors are required to submit a short abstract (approximately 150 words) AND an extended abstract (up to 2 pages) as well. All submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS conference management system at http://edas.info, and must be in MS-Word or PDF format.

WPANs can be used to replace cables between computers and their peripherals, to establish communities helping people do their everyday chores making them more productive, or to establish location aware services. It is predicted that not only will most PDAs, phones, laptops include WPAN technology but that the number of small WPAN enabled devices (e.g., pens, cameras, headsets, various sensors) will soon outnumber the computers on the Internet. The best example representing WPANs is the recent industry standard: Bluetooth, other examples include Spike (for real time gaming - proprietary technology), and in the broad sense HomeRF. The IEEE 802 committee has also realized the importance of short-range wireless networking and initiated the establishment of the IEEE 802.15 working group to standardize protocols and interfaces for wireless personal area networking. Another key issue is the inter-working of wireless technologies to create heterogeneous wireless networks. For instance, WPANs and WLANs will enable an extension of the third generation (3G) cellular networks (i.e., UMTS and cdma2000) into devices without direct cellular access thus pointing towards next generation wireless networking. Moreover, devices interconnected in a WPAN may be able to utilize a combination of 3G access and WLAN access by selecting the access that is best for the moment. In such networks 3G, WLAN and WPAN technologies do not compete against each other but enable the user to select the best connectivity for his/her purposes. Today, WPAN research covers a very broad area, starting from technical issues like automatic formation of networks or security issues and going up all the stack to the question what kind of applications will be used in WPANs. We expect that the availability of a cheap short-range wireless technology will further fuel research and development in what, where and most importantly how WPAN technologies could be used for.
