-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Cross Layer Design for Communications and Signal Processing Systems Date: Mon, 02 Jun 2003 13:48:55 -0400 From: haitao zheng <haitaoz(a)lucent.com> Organization: Lucent Technologies To: TCCC <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email. ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers EURASIP JOURNAL ON APPLIED SIGNAL PROCESSING Special Issue on Cross Layer Design for Communications and Signal Processing Systems An important aspect of wireless networks is dynamic behavior. The conventional protocol structure is inflexible as various protocol layers can only communicate in a strict manner. In such a case, the layers are designed to operate under the worst conditions, rather than adapting to changing conditions. This leads to inefficient use of spectrum and energy. Adaptation represents the ability of network protocols and applications to observe and respond to the channel variation. Central to adaptation is the concept of cross layer design. In general, cross layer design involves four key layers in the overall protocol stack (i.e., application-layer, transport-layer, network-layer and link-layer). The application can adjust its behavior, e.g., its flow rate or the amount of overhead devoted to error resilience, according to the changing network and channel conditions. The adaptation can also take place in the underlying layers such as TCP and UDP, so that the application originally developed for different networks remain unchanged. Information derived from the application, such as its QoS requirements and the priorities of the packets it produces, could be used in coordinating the behavior of the lower layers for resource efficiency. For example, the persistence level of the link layer ARQ mechanism should be varied according to each application's latency and reliability requirements, as well as the traffic load. Another essential factor to adaptation is each layer's ability to estimate the current and even predict the future network and channel conditions and exchange the information across different layers. This special issue will be devoted to the latest developments in the field of cross layer design, where the emphasis is on interactions among different network layers, so as to improve the performance of communication and signal processing systems. We seek original, previously unpublished, and completed contributions, not currently under review by another journal. Contributions emphasizing recent progress and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Papers are invited from, but not limited to, the following topics: * Architectures and methodologies for cross layer design in wireless and wireline communications * Energy efficiency in wireless ad hoc networks * Dynamic resource allocation and Quality of Service * Scheduling Algorithms and Link Adaptation * Signal Processing and Medium Access Control * Channel Adaptive Routing Protocols * Interaction between TCP, UDP and RLP layers * Channel-aware applications * Joint source and channel design in wireless multimedia communications * Signaling design for cross layer interaction Submission Procedure: Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format described at the Journal website http://asp.hindawi.com/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of the complete manuscript through the EURASIP's web submission system at http://asp.hindawi.com/, according to the following timeline: Manuscript Due: July 31, 2003 Acceptance Notification: February 28, 2004 Final Manuscript due: April 30, 2004 Publication date: 4th Quarter, 2004.

Even though a lot of effort has been dedicated to developing efficient group communication principles and systems, it is widely accepted that to be deployed adequately in large-scale settings, some of the existing concepts should be revisited. This one-day workshop seeks contributions related to the design and implementation of group communication systems for large-scale applications and environments. ____________________________________________________________ Title: ACM Workshop on Rapid Malcode (WORM) Deadline: 01-Jul-2003 Webpage: http://pisa.ucsd.edu/worm03/ Conference: WORM/October 27th, 2003 Synopsis: In the last several years, Internet-wide infectious epidemics have emerged as one of the leading threats to information security and service availability. The vehicle for these outbreaks, malicious codes called "worms", leverage the combination of software monocultures and the uncontrolled Internet communication model to quickly compromise large numbers of hosts. The goal of this workshop is to bring together ideas, understanding and experience bearing on the worm problem from a wide range of communities including academia, industry and the government. We are soliciting original papers from researchers and practitioners alike. ____________________________________________________________ Title: 2nd Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets-II) Deadline: 18-Jul-2003 Webpage: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/HotNets-II/ Conference: HotNets-II / November 20 and 21, 2003, Cambridge, MA Synopsis: HotNets-II will bring together researchers in the networking and distributed systems community to debate emerging research directions. The goal of the workshop is to promote community-wide discussion of ideas that will influence and foster continued research in the field. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers to present new ideas that have the potential to significantly impact the community in the long term. Each potential participant should submit a short paper describing such an idea; the paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new solution, or debunk existing work. ____________________________________________________________ *NEW THIS MONTH! Title: USENIX/ACM Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation Deadline: 15-Sep-2003 Webpage: http://www.usenix.org/events/nsdi04/ Conference: March 29-31, 2004 Synopsis: NSDI 2004 is a new conference focused on the design principles of large scale distributed and networked systems. We believe systems as diverse as scalable web services, peer-to-peer file sharing, sensor nets, and distributed network measurement share a set of common challenges. Progress in any of these areas requires a deep understanding of how researchers are addressing the challenges of large scale systems in other contexts. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the systems community -- including operating systems, distributed systems, and computer networking -- to foster a cross-disciplinary approach to addressing our common research challenges. ____________________________________________________________ About SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE The SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE mailing list is intended to provide a low-volume channel that provides operating systems researchers and practitioners with information about upcoming events or other important announcements.
