-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP WWAN 2005, Columbus, Ohio, USA, 6-9 June, 2005 Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 19:21:46 +0100 From: David Simplot-Ryl <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> To: <arp(a)cines.fr>, <alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr>, <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ====================================================================== LAST CALL FOR PAPERS WWAN 2005 2nd International Workshop on Wireless Ad Hoc Networking http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2005 to be held in conjunction with The 25th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS-2005) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6-9, 2005 http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/icdcs05 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Purpose Wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks (network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure), such as cellular or satellite systems. Wireless ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless ad-hoc networks are formed by a set of hosts that communicate with each other over a wireless channel. Each node has the ability to communicate directly with another node in its physical neighborhood. They operate in a self-organized and decentralized manner and message communication takes place via multi-hop spreading. A packet is sent to its target node through a set of intermediate nodes that act as routers. Particular ad hoc network systems include packet radio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftop networks, and wireless local area networks. This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical issues up to applications aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. The first edition of WWAN held last year during ICDCS-2004 (Tokyo, Japan) was organized by David Simplot-Ryl and Ivan Stojmenovic. In response to the Call for Papers, 42 papers from 20 different countries had been submitted. Based on three review reports per paper, they was classified as accept, reject or discuss. For those papers in the discuss list, additional opinions were sought. As a result, a total of 21 papers were selected for presentation at WWAN 2004 and were organized in 7 sessions. Website of this prior workshop: http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2004 Topics of Interest 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: - Applications and history of ad hoc networks, - Physical layer of ad hoc networks, - Pervasive and wearable computing, - IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth based medium access control, - Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation, - Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks, - Hybrid networks and wireless internet, - Security in ad hoc networks, - Data management issues, query processing, data delivery, - Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks, - Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks, - Quality of service in medium access control and routing, - Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP-Special Section of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R)]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP-Special Section of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 17:58:59 +0200 From: Polychronis Koutsakis <polk(a)telecom.tuc.gr> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************* Call for Papers Special Section on “Medium Access and Call Admission Control Algorithms for Next Generation Wireless Networks” ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Theme With the pervasive presence of mobile personal wireless computing devices, wireless communication technologies are rapidly evolving and influencing our daily way of life. The new wireless data and multimedia services that are added and supported on wireless networks alongside the traditional voice services pose formidable challenges to these networks in their effort to satisfy strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. These challenges are further exasperated by the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links (fading, noise) and user mobility. To cope with the challenges related to supporting both the existing and the ever increasing new services, next generation wireless technologies will need to fine tune and/or incorporate new sets of traffic control procedures. This special section will be focusing on two such control procedures related to wireless medium sharing and network overload. A well designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol reduces system costs by maximizing system capacity while successfully integrating different classes of traffic (e.g., voice, data, multimedia) and optimally allocating the limited radio channel bandwidth among them. Congestion control poses yet additional set of challenges to wireless network providers. Network congestion is difficult to resolve when real-time traffic, sensitive to both latency and packet loss, is present, without jeopardizing the QoS expected by the users of that traffic. Call Admission Control (CAC) is a strategy used to limit the number of call connections into the network in order to reduce network congestion, therefore enabling the system to provide the desired QoS to newly incoming as well as existing calls. The mobility of users adds challenging requirements to the Call Admission Control Mechanism. When mobile users change their point of attachment, the end-to-end path may be changed while they still expect to receive the same QoS. This implies that the new end-to-end path should also support the existing QoS (i.e., a reservation on the new path may be required). Topics of interest This highly selective special section of the ACM MC2R aims at providing a state-of-the-art reference of the current research in the fields of Medium Access Control Protocols and Call Admission Control Algorithms for next generation wireless networks. Previously unpublished, original papers of very high quality that are not currently under review by another conference or journal are solicited focusing on representative topics related to this special section, such as: > Medium Access Control Protocols and Transmission Scheduling Mechanisms. > Call Admission Control and Traffic Policing Mechanisms for wireless networks. > Channel Allocation. > CDMA/TDMA wireless systems. > QoS issues for multimedia traffic over wireless networks. > Performance evaluation of wireless networks. > Mobile service and QoS management. > Wireless multimedia services. > Handoff algorithms for mobility support. > Protocols and algorithms coping with limited bandwidth and intermittent connectivity of wireless networks. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2005. Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2005. Submission of final version: July 15, 2005. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should submit their paper electronically to the email address of one of the three guest editors. All material submitted must be in PostScript or PDF format. If using PostScript, only version 2 or later should be used, and reference only Computer Modern or standard Adobe fonts (Courier, Times Roman, or Helvetica); other PostScript type 1 and type 2 fonts may be used but must be included in the PostScript file. Type 3 fonts should not be used as they reproduce poorly in the digital library and on many printers. Paper length should be the equivalent of no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Programming Models for Multimedia Cluster and Grid Computing (Special Session IPDPS-PDIVM 2005) Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2004 14:52:51 +0100 From: Elena Zudilova <elenaz(a)science.uva.nl> Organization: OptimaNumerics To: computational.science(a)optimanumerics.com [We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.] *********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** Special Session on "PROGRAMMING MODELS FOR MULTIMEDIA CLUSTER AND GRID COMPUTING" (http://www.science.uva.nl/~fjseins/pdivm_special.html) held as part of the 6th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Image Processing, Video Processing, and Multimedia (PDIVM'2005) (http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~uhl/pdivm.html) in conjunction with the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium IPDPS Denver, Colorado, USA, April 8th, 2005 The special session constitutes one of the sessions of the PDIVM 2005 workshop, organized as part of the 2005 IPDPS Conference. There will be no separate registration for the special session or the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS Press (a CD-ROM with a printed abstracts book). ************** TOPICS ************** Even though many multimedia applications are ideally suited for parallel execution, most researchers in multimedia do not benefit from the many commodity clusters and wide-area Grid systems available around the world today. Primarily, this problem is due to the lack of user-friendly tools that can effectively help non-expert parallel programmers in creating high performance multimedia applications. Clearly, the key to effective application development by non-experts in parallel computing lies in the availability of high-level programming models for multimedia processing. This special session brings together researchers and developers working on all aspects of the design of user-friendly programming models, tools, and frameworks for multimedia computing. Issues of interest include, but are not limited to: *) domain-specific programming models *) languages for multimedia computing (object-oriented, functional, ...) *) multimedia server-based approaches *) domain-specific compiler directives *) automatic parallelization *) automatic performance optimization *) performance modeling *) skeletons and algorithmic patterns *) evaluation of user-friendly tools and frameworks *) applications in user-friendly multimedia computing ************** SUBMISSION ************** Submissions for the special session should be about 4 pages long (i.e. extended abstracts) using the IEEE Proceedings style (available from: http://www.science.uva.nl/~fjseins/IEEEStyle.txt).

FYI Xiaoyuan -----Original Message----- From: info(a)patternrecognition.org.uk [mailto:info@patternrecognition.org.uk] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 11:02 PM To: xiaogu(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Subject: Invitation 3rd International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition ---------------------------------------------------------------- The third international conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition will showcase the latest research in the area of pattern recognition and machine learning. The focus will be on new and emerging techniques in pattern recognition and machine learning. The conference has three specific goals: (a) The description and discussion of new techniques that will make a step change in the area; (b) The use of unconventional and often off-the-mainstream techniques to solve complex tasks; and (c) A theoretical understanding of how the nature of data impacts upon known techniques, their limitations, and comparison to each other. The conference will focus on both applied work as well as theoretical advances. It is however theoretical contribution that will underpin research and will be emphasised in the review process. The conference will be organised in Bath which is the best-preserved Georgian city in Britain, a showpiece of Georgian architecture with picturesque streets and stone-fronted houses. The Romans were captivated by the area of Bath over 2,000 years ago, when Bath was a vast green valley with a miraculous stream of endless hot water. The Roman bath and temple complex are still a world-class attraction. Beautiful and elegant, Bath enjoys many thousands of tourists from all over the world. The conference will be organized at the University of Bath. The ICAPR conference will be co-located with the International Postgraduate Conference on Pattern Analysis for Applications in Physical and Life Sciences (http://www.ipc2005.org.uk), which will be organised on the same dates at the same location. The demonstrations of any software will take place jointly. We invite you to attend and publish at ICAPR 2005. http://www.icapr2005.org.uk/
