-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] 2nd CFP: ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 09:44:47 +0300 From: Salkintzis Apostolis-Y1026C <salki(a)motorola.com> To: 'tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, Please find attached the 2nd CFP for a new special issue of Wireless Personal Communications Journal. My apologies if you receive this more than once. Best, --- Apostolis Salkintzis, Ph.D. Motorola E-mail: salki(a)motorola.com *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Wireless Personal Communications Journal* *<http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/>* ** *ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs* The recent evolution and successful deployment of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) worldwide has paved the way to more intense standardization and R&D activities, that target even more sophisticated and advanced WLAN/WPAN systems. Standardization activities within the IEEE 802.11 working group are already underway for evolving the dominant WLAN standard in several aspects, including security, mobility and quality of service (QoS. In addition, alternative physical and MAC layer proposals are being considered for improving bit rates to ranges in excess of 100 Mbps. Similar activities are taking placing within the ETSI BRAN project to further evolve the HIPERLAN/2 standard. At the same time, the core representative of WPANs, i.e. Bluetooth, is being further evolved by IEEE 802.15 TG1. Other task groups within IEEE 802.15 develop specifications for high- and low-rate WPANs, known as IEEE 802.15.3 and IEEE 802.15.4 respectively. Moreover, interworking mechanisms are being investigated for combining WLAN/WPANs and second-/third-generation cellular networks into hybrid data networks, capable of very high bit rates in strategic locations (hotspots). 3GPP is one notable standardization body that currently standardizes such interworking mechanisms. Last but not least, it is important to note the numerous research projects worldwide that address a vast collection of issues related to WLANs and WPANs, ranging from the seamless mobility across UTRAN and WLAN (see for example the IST EVOLUTE project at http://evolute.intranet.gr/) to heterogeneous multihop wireless networks consisting of combinations of WPAN and WLAN technologies (see for example the IST 6HOP project). All these activities combined with market forecasts, which report that WLANs and WPANs will encounter a tremendous growth in the next years, demonstrate that WLAN and WPAN technologies will play a significant role in the future and will severely impact our business and personal life styles. However, several issues still need to be efficiently addressed, including power consumption, physical and MAC layer architecture, radio resource management, interworking, QoS, security, co-existence with other unlicensed technologies, self configuration, etc. The goal of this special issue is to address the above issues and provide a timely and concise reference of the current activities and research findings in the fields of WLANs and WPANs. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these technologies. In this context, papers are solicited that describe original and unpublished contributions on representative topics, such as: * Authentication and Security in WLANs and WPANs * QoS and policy issues in WLANs/WPANs * Interworking between WLAN and WPAN technologies * WLANs and 2G/3G interworking * Emerging MAC protocols * Technologies for very-high-bit-rate WLANs * Mobility issues and mobility protocols * Support of multimedia over WLAN/WPAN * Multihop and ad hoc architectures * Applications tailored to WLANs/WPANs * Radio resource management techniques * WLANs/WPANs in 4G networks * WLANs/WPANs co-existence issues * Voice/video over WLANs and WPANs * Standardization activities * Performance studies * Self organization in WLAN networks * Management of large scale WLAN networks Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the Author Instructions available at_ <http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/>_. Authors should send an electronic version (in PDF or MS Word format) to Dr. Apostolis Salkintzis at_ salki(a)motorola.com_ according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: August 1, 2004 Acceptance Notification: November 1, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: January 15, 2005 Publication Date: 2^nd Quarter 2005 *Guest Editors* ** Dr. Apostolis K.

hier ist einmal ein CfP mit einer richtig langen Vorlaufzeit -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Journal of Network and System Management Call for Papers Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 11:45:25 -0400 From: Bush, Stephen F (Research) <bushsf(a)research.ge.com> To: 'tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear Colleagues, Below please find a call-for-papers for a JSNM Special Issue on Active and Programmable Networks. Draft manuscripts are due Mar 30, 2005 with Notification of Acceptance by May 31, 2005. Stephen F. Bush and Shivkumar Kalyanaraman, co-editors ------------------------------------------------------------ ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT Special Issue on Management of Active and Programmable Networks Manuscript due March 30, 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------ Active networks provide a framework enabling code and data to reside within network packets such that injected code can modify behavior of low-level network layers. Programmable networks allow customization o data-plane and control-plane services (e.g.: using network processor methods in high- speed routers or software radio methods in wireless networks). This raises fundamental management issues regarding the relation and tradeoffs among communication and computation, configuration, fault, security, performance, and accounting management. AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS and SOFTWARE RADIOS are being facilitated by the advancement of active networks; however, they add another level of complexity to active and programmable network management. The relationship between computation and communication can be addressed by concepts from algorithmic information theory (e.g.: Kolmogorov- Chaitin Complexity). Active and programmable networks form an ideal environment in which to study the effects of tradeoffs in algorithmic and static information representation. Active code can contain either the protocol or a compressed form of the data to be transported. Other divisions of code and state are possible between packets (e.g.: routers with dynamic packet state and customizable data-plane code). ------------------------------------------------------------ This special issue of the Journal of Network and Systems Management will consider topics associated with the management of active and programmable networks. Submissions will span a broad range of topics, e.g.: * Bridging the gap among the large and growing body of work in algorithmic information theory and applications to the health, management, and security of an active or programmable network * Fundamental relationships between computation and communication applied to active or programmable networks; relationship of code vs. data tradeoffs utilized to control access of information, system vulnerability detection, policy enforcement, etc. within an active or programmable network * Self-organization and composition of active network services; self-configuration of active or programmable networks * Case studies involving the management of dynamic adaptation and performance enabled by active networks * Active or programmable networks used to manage and control mobile ad hoc network operation and legacy networks * Active or programmable network management of QoS: controlled amounts of code vs. data that adapt to link quality * Management of active packets in constrained devices such as sensors * Active and programmable network management techniques applied to link and physical layer network components e.g. software radio waveforms * Improvement or replacement of defacto management standard access and control such as SNMP with active or programmable mechanisms ------------------------------------------------------------ Instructions to Contributors: Authors are invited to submit papers for peer-review to the guest editors. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Please prepare the manuscripts in single-column, double- spaced format and submit Word, PDF, or Postscript files. ------------------------------------------------------------ Guest Editors: Dr. Stephen F.

[ieee-cnom] Call for Papers for IEEE Communications Magazine (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 07 May '04

07 May '04

Call for Papers for IEEE Communications Magazine Multiple Access Technologies for B3G Wireless Communications Background The B3G wireless systems promise to deliver a much higher data transmission rate and more diverse services than what current 2-3G systems can do. All-IP wireless has been emerging as the most preferred architecture for B3G wireless. Therefore, the design of future wireless air-interface has to take into account the fact that dominant load in B3G wireless channels will be high-speed burst-type traffic. The necessity to support such a great amount of burst-type traffic in wireless channels has already posed a great challenge to all existing air-link technologies based on either TDMA or CDMA. Many research initiatives have been on the way to investigate the issues on which type of multiple access technologies will be most suitable for B3G wireless. Some suggested that the current CDMA technologies (all based on DS-CDMA, such as IS-95A/B, cdma2000, UTRA, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, etc.) are suited only for slow-speed continuous-transmission applications such as voice, but not a good choice for high-speed burst-type traffic, as the case in future all-IP 4G wireless. Therefore, a new wave of world-wide research is imperative to search for next generation multiple access technologies, which should effectively address all the constraints and problems existing in the current TDMA and CDMA technologies, such as poor bandwidth efficiency, strictly interference-limited capacity, difficulties in performing rate-matching algorithms, complexity to implement fast adaptive equalizer, etc. The study on the next generation multiple access technologies involves many cutting-edge research topics, such as novel CDMA code design, time-frequency adaptive equalization, interference-free CDMA architecture, high data rate TDMA and innovative transceivers. The short-term objective is to look for new multiple access technologies, which could effectively enhance overall bandwidth efficiency and detection efficiency, as well as fit the all-IP wireless applications. The ultimate goal, however, is to engineer an ideal air-interface architecture whose capacity should be limited only by noise rather than interference. This issue will serve as a stimulus to accelerate technological evolution of multiple access technologies for B3G wireless applications. Scope of Contributions The papers in this Feature Topic will focus on state-of-the-art research in various physical-layer aspects of next generation multiple access technologies suitable for B3G wireless. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but not limited to, the following subjects: a.. Innovative spread spectrum and CDMA techniques b.. HDR-CDMA and HDR-TDMA c.. All-IP wireless air-interface d.. M-ary CDMA e.. Hybrid OFDM, CDMA, TDMA and FDMA f.. Orthogonal code and sequence design g.. Multi-carrier/OFDM techniques h.. Quasi-synchronous CDMA i.. Complementary code CDMA j.. Isotropic air-link technology k.. UWB and pulse radio techniques l.. MAI reduction techniques m.. Fast adaptive equalization n.. Multipath interference immunity techniques o.. Multi-user detection and signal processing p.. Adaptive modulations suitable for CDMA/TDMA/OFDM q.. Near-far resistant CDMA r.. ST-coded and MIMO TDMA/CDMA systems s.. Novel power control techniques t.. Pilot-added CDMA/TDMA signaling design u.. Synchronization control v.. Dynamic channel allocation and assignment w.. CDMA/TDMA system implementation x.. CDMA/TDMA standardization issues Papers should be of tutorial nature or contain state-of-the-art research and development materials. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines regarding the manuscript format. For further details, please refer to "Information for Authors" in IEEE Communications Magazine website at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html Schedule for Submissions Manuscript Submission: June 2004 Acceptance Notification: September 2004 Final Manuscript Due: October 2004 Publication: February 2005 Manuscript submission should be through IEEE Manuscript Central: http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/.
