Mauro Brunato brunato(a)dit.unitn.it ============================================= CALL FOR PAPERS WONS 2004 First International Working Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems (sponsorship by IFIP WG 6.3 and 6.8 is pending for approval) http://dit.unitn.it/wons/ wons(a)dit.unitn.it Madonna di Campiglio (Italy) January 21-23, 2004 Wireless LANs are enjoying a growing interest at all levels: research, application, business. The explosive growth of IEEE802.11b (Wi-Fi), the ongoing change of spectrum management policies and the technology boost making wireless wideband a reality are bringing high bandwidth wireless connectivity to the masses. Connectivity and networking built "on-demand", where and when they are needed in an evolutionary and incremental fashion with limited investments, is spawning new research and business opportunities, offering unprecedented possibilities to support working communities and ubiquitous, cooperative computing. Many aspects of the current wireless LANs growth resemble the rapid, and in part anarchic and unexpected, evolution of the wired Internet. The road is traced and enthusiasm is mounting but many challenges have to be solved before providing seamless communication, reliable quality, secure high bandwidth connectivity, and useful services. The conference will concentrate on new research issues open in the "wireless Internet" context, including design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models and practical implementation. Sound experimental evaluation of new techniques will also be considered. The meeting will take place in one of the finest winter resorts of the Alps, Madonna di Campiglio, in the Trentino region. The cozy atmosphere of the conference hotel, facing one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Alps, will facilitate concentration and creativity. The schedule of the meeting will consist of presentations in the morning and in the afternoon/evening. A pause after lunch will allow social activities and informal interaction among the participants. Topics comprise, but are not limited to: - Wireless access to the Internet - Modelling and performance evaluation of wireless LANs - Quality of service and pricing ("charging for quality") - Traffic and user activity models - Service differentiation mechanisms - Virtual operators in WiFi networks - Pervasive / ubiquitous computing - Location and context-awareness - Wireless LANs design - Management, authentication, authorization and accounting - On-Demand, Ad-Hoc Networks ---------------------------------------------------------- Keynote speech: "Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Protocols and Applications" Mario Gerla, Computer Science Department, UCLA ---------------------------------------------------------- Conference Proceedings will be published by Springer in the series "Lecture Notes in Computer Science".

[Fwd: ARCS 2004 Call for papers (reminder)]
by Lars Wolf 08 Jul '03

08 Jul '03

Second Announcement and Call for Papers: ARCS 2004 17TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARCHITECTURE OF COMPUTING SYSTEMS - ORGANIC AND PERVASIVE COMPUTING - Augsburg, Germany March 23 - 26, 2004 http://www.uni-augsburg.de/arcs04 Submission Deadline: September 15, 2003 Future processors become smaller, provide higher performance and consume less power than today's devices. Such processors will spark off new applications in particular in the area of everyday consumer devices. Mobile telecommunication systems increase bandwidth and will yield highly connected, ubiquitous computing systems. System design and management complexity increase to a level where a new paradigm may provide help: Organic computing (also known as autonomic computing) borrows from analogies between complex technical and biological systems. It follows a human-centered approach by leveraging self-organization capabilities. Organic computing investigates the design and implementation of self-managing systems that are self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, context aware, and anticipatory. ARCS 2004 will emphasize the design, realization and analysis of the emerging organic and pervasive systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The conference focuses on system aspects of organic and pervasive computing in software and hardware. In particular, the system integration and self-management of hardware, software and networking aspects of up-to-now unconnected devices is a challenging research topic. ARCS 2004 continues and replaces the biennial series of German Conferences on Architecture of Computing Systems. This 17th conference in the series serves as a forum to present current work on all aspects of computer and systems architecture. Besides its main focus, the conference is open for more general and interdisciplinary themes in operating systems, networking, and computer architecture.

[Fwd: CfP: Internet Economics - Pricing and Policies, Special Issue in Computer Networks (Elsevier)]
by Lars Wolf 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue Computer Networks (Elsevier) on "Internet Economics - Pricing and Policies" With the commercialization of the Internet, the range of offered services, the variety of applications, and the diversity of management tasks have increased in order to accommodate customer as well as provider needs. However, only the combination of technical functions with sensible business models will enable a world-wide interoperable network giving incentives to providers and customers to participate, offer, and utilize the information network of the near future. This special issue on "Internet Economics - Pricing and Policies" aims at covering both the network and economic side at the same time. The underlying emphasis on technology for an end-to-end provisioning of Quality-of-Service (QoS) covers the Internet as a network and the end-system from a technical point of view on Internet Economics. On the other hand, business policy management, the economics of service differentiation, and required charging support for transport and content define the economic aspects of this complex problem. Both areas are addressed by a joint discussion, the identification of solutions, investigations of their feasibility, and a consolidation of technical and economic mechanisms to enable a fast, guaranteed, and efficient provisioning of differentiated services in the Internet. Based on those preliminaries, the following dedicated topics are of emerging interest for the two groups of international experts on inter-networking and economics for the Internet and the guest editors solicit papers on. Only technical and economic papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by another conference or journal, will be considered: * Economic Models for Internet Services * Business Models for Internet Services * Sustainable Peer-to-Peer and Grid Computing * Policy-based Service and QoS Control * Pricing and Tariffing for Internet Services * Charging and Accounting for Internet Services * E-Commerce in the Internet * Application Service Provider Cost and Revenue Modeling * Economies of Wireless and Ad-Hoc Networks * Business Models for Mobile Access Networks * Internet Service Provider Cost Modeling * Pricing and Charging for Differentiated Services * Security Mechanisms for Commercial Internet Services * Monitoring and Measurements * Management of Service Level Agreements Authors should follow the Computer Networks (Elsevier) manuscript format as described at the URL http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/compnw. Prospective authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript according to the following timetable to one of the guest editors' e-mail addresses stated below. Manuscript Due Date: September 1, 2003 Acceptance Notification Date: December 15, 2003 Final Manuscript Due Date: January 15, 2003 Publication Date: 1st Quarter 2004 Guest Editors: Burkhard Stiller Lee McKnight University of Federal School of Armed Forces Munich Information Studies and ETH Zürich Syracuse University stiller(a)tik.ee.ethz.ch lmcknigh(a)syr.edu Martin Karsten Peter Reichl School of Forschungszentrum Computer Science Telekommunikation University of Waterloo Wien, FTW kalli(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca reichl(a)ftw.at ==========================================================

Preliminary Call for Papers The 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN'04) Pending sponsorship by ACM, IEEE, NSF, and DARPA April 27-28, 2004 Berkeley, California, USA http://ipsn04.cs.uiuc.edu/ * Submission Deadline: October 27, 2003 * Following the success of the first two Workshops (www.parc.com/events/ipsn03), the 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks will bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent work in this emerging field. Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), critical infrastructure protection (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and situational awareness for battlefield applications. Information processing in sensor networks draws upon many disciplines including signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity. This Symposium will address issues from physical device design, to signal processing and from networking to coordination protocols. The Symposium will place special attention to revolutionary new applications that are enabled by sensor network technology. Topical areas of sensor networks include, but not limited to: * Distributed and collaborative signal processing * Network protocols for sensor networks * Coding, compression, and information theory * Distributed query processing * Detection, classification, estimation, and tracking * Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity * Sensor tasking and control * Embedded architectures and tools * In-network processing and aggregation * Data storage in sensor networks * Location and time services * Energy and resource management * Distributed inference and fusion * Programming models and languages * Real-time scheduling * Security and fault tolerance * Simulation tools and environments * Networked sensing and control * Applications of sensor networks (e.g., automotive, battlefield, biology, construction, disaster recovery, environmental, medical, security) Along with a set of high-quality technical papers, IPSN'04 will also include invited talks that highlight the state-of-the-art of sensor network applications and research. The Symposium program will include poster sessions that provide researchers with opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the sensor network community at large. The Symposium will also include industrial exhibition and demonstrations.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] IPSN'04 CFP Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2003 12:45:49 -0500 (CDT) From: Jennifer Hou <jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: zhao(a)parc.com, jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu Preliminary Call for Papers The 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN'04) Pending sponsorship by ACM, IEEE, NSF, and DARPA April 27-28, 2004 Berkeley, California, USA http://ipsn04.cs.uiuc.edu/ * Submission Deadline: October 27, 2003 * Following the success of the first two Workshops (www.parc.com/events/ipsn03), the 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks will bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent work in this emerging field. Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), critical infrastructure protection (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and situational awareness for battlefield applications. Information processing in sensor networks draws upon many disciplines including signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity. This Symposium will address issues from physical device design, to signal processing and from networking to coordination protocols. The Symposium will place special attention to revolutionary new applications that are enabled by sensor network technology. Topical areas of sensor networks include, but not limited to: * Distributed and collaborative signal processing * Network protocols for sensor networks * Coding, compression, and information theory * Distributed query processing * Detection, classification, estimation, and tracking * Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity * Sensor tasking and control * Embedded architectures and tools * In-network processing and aggregation * Data storage in sensor networks * Location and time services * Energy and resource management * Distributed inference and fusion * Programming models and languages * Real-time scheduling * Security and fault tolerance * Simulation tools and environments * Networked sensing and control * Applications of sensor networks (e.g., automotive, battlefield, biology, construction, disaster recovery, environmental, medical, security) Along with a set of high-quality technical papers, IPSN'04 will also include invited talks that highlight the state-of-the-art of sensor network applications and research. The Symposium program will include poster sessions that provide researchers with opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the sensor network community at large. The Symposium will also include industrial exhibition and demonstrations.
