-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP Special issue IEEE TPDS on 'Localized communication and topology protocols for ad hoc networks' Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 13:25:24 +0100 From: David Simplot-Ryl <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> To: <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, <seworld(a)cs.colorado.edu>, <tinyos(a)Millennium.Berkeley.EDU> CC: arp(a)cines.fr, alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ================================================================== LAST CALL FOR PAPERS Localized communication and topology protocols for ad hoc networks IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems Special Issue April Issue of 2006 IEEE Transaction on Parallel and Distributed Systems seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad Hoc Networks scheduled to appear in the April issue of 2006. This special issue covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the "hot" area of ad hoc and sensor networking. It concentrates on the network layer problems which can be divided into two groups: data communication, and topology control problems. In data communication problems, such as routing, quality-of-service routing, geocasting, multicasting, and broadcasting, the primary goal is to fulfill a given communication task successfully between nodes in ad hoc network. The secondary task is to minimize the communication overhead and power consumption by battery operated nodes. Topology control problems are further subdivided into neighbour discovery and network organization problems. In the neighbour discovery problem, the problem is to detect neighboring nodes located within transmission radius. In the network organization problem, each node should decide what communication links to establish with neighbouring nodes (an example is Bluetooth scatternet formation problem), and what power management schemes to adopt (examples are "sleep" period operations and adjusting transmission radii). Sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The applications of sensor networks are envisioned primarily for monitoring the environment (e.g. motion detection, chemicals, temperature) or as embedded systems (e.g. biomedical sensor engineering). This special issue will also review ongoing research on this "hot" topic, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. The main paradigm shift is to apply localized schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behaviour achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: E-NEXT.members: CFP MeshNets 2005 -- Submission deadline extended to 27 February Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2005 02:02:51 +0100 From: Laura Marie Feeney <lmfeeney(a)sics.se> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Apologies if you receive multiple copies In order to synchronize better with other workshops being held at WICON, the submission deadline for MeshNets 2005 has been significantly extended. (So now you have plenty of time to finish your paper and submit it...) ==== MeshNets 2005 http://www.meshnets.org In conjunction with WICON 2005 10 July 2005, Budapest, Hungary IMPORTANT DATES Submissions due: February 27, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: April 05, 2005 Camera-ready Version due: May 15, 2005 CALL FOR PAPERS The long-term success of the Wireless Internet depends on the establishment of an architectectural framework that can meet the increasingly stringent demands place on it by our mobile, "always connected" society. Wireless mesh networks are expected to be a key element of this future. In a wireless mesh network, mobile devices or networks cooperatively establish mulit-hop, or even multi-radio communication paths in a dynamic environment, providing an alternative form of wireless connectivity. To achieve scalability and performance, such a network must manage complex tradeoffs among factors such as coverage, throughput/delay and QoS support. Many such networks must also be able to support self-organizing and self-healing modes of operation. The emergence of wireless PAN, LAN, and MAN technologies and an ever-growing demand for connectivity suggest that wireless mesh networks will play an important role in the future development of the Wireless Internet. The importance and timeliness of this topic is confirmed by the many start-up companies defining technology and products in this space, as well as the work of standards bodies such as the IEEE 802.11s Working Group. The goal of this workshop is to bring together an international group of academics, researchers, and industry practitioners to a) provide a view of the state-of-art, b) identify outstanding challenges and c) present current research on all aspects of mesh networks. The workshop will therefore include panel discussion and invited speakers, as well as papers selected through this CFP. In particular, we encourage submissions which make fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of wireless mesh networking, with emphasis on cross-layer protocol design and implementation, especially in the context of programmable and software defined radio. We solicit paper on topics including, but not limited to the following areas of relevance to mesh networks: Link and MAC layer design Cross-layer optimization Radio resource management and QoS support Programmable and software defined radios User mobility models and mobility management Topology deduction and network measurement and characterization Performance evaluation and modelling Experimental systems and test-beds Security and authentication Interworking between wireless access and the wired backbone PROPOSALS FOR PANELS Proposals for panel sessions on wireless networking and related topics are also solicited. Panel topics should address innovative, controversial, or otherwise provocative topics related to wireless mesh networking. Please submit proposals to the General Chairs <tpc.html>.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CONEXT05-1st-CallForPapers Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 10:26:30 +0100 (MET) From: CONEXT05 Call for papers <conext2(a)ensica.fr> To: undisclosed-recipients:; [Please apologize for multiple receipts] FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS CONEXT'05 International conference on future networking technologies October 24-27, 2005 Toulouse, France http://www.co-next.net/ info(a)co-next.net Organized by IST E-NEXT in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM ----- SCOPE ----- CoNEXT aims to become a major forum in the area of future networking technologies. By bringing together - under the umbrella of the Network of Excellence E-NEXT (http://www.ist-e-next.net/) - a number of successful workshops run by various networking communities, it will encourage much needed synergies between these communities. CoNEXT is a joint conference series having its roots in QoFIS, NGC and MIPS. QoFIS and NGC are highly successful international workshops initiated by two European COST Actions, namely COST263 on Quality of Future Internet Services and COST264 on Networked Group Communications. MIPS resulted from the merging of two other major workshops, namely IDMS (concentrated on interactive and distributed multimedia services) and PROMS (focusing on protocols for networked multimedia systems); also the associated ICQT (Internet Charging and QoS Technology) workshop is integrated into CoNEXT 2005. CoNEXT is designed as an open, multi-track conference aiming to attract longer-term studies and to contribute to the integration of networking research at the international level. Examples of relevant topics are: * Autonomic Communications * Context Awareness * Crosslayer Integration * Dependable Networks * Experimental Networking * Identity Management * Internet Economics * Large Test-bed * Mobile Communication * Monitoring * Network Security * Overlay Networks * Scalability * Sensor Networks * Service Engineering * Traffic Engineering * User Perceived QoS * Wireless ----------------------- SUBMISSIONS/PROCEEDINGS ----------------------- Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration of publication.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP - International Workshop on Context for Web Services (CWS'05) Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 11:42:43 +0400 From: Zakaria Maamar <Zakaria.Maamar(a)zu.ac.ae> To: <chirine.ghedira(a)iuta.univ-lyon1.fr> Call for Papers International Workshop on Context for Web Services (CWS'05) Held in conjunction with CONTEXT, the 5th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (http://context-05.org) July 5, 2005. Paris, France http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~dbenslim/CWS05/ Keynote Speaker: =============== - David Martin, SRI International's Artificial Intelligence Center, CA, USA, http://www.ai.sri.com/people/martin Sponsors: ========= - International Sponsors: AgentLink, ObjectWeb - Local Sponsors: LIRIS Laboratory, Istase. Proceedings: ============ Papers of the Workshop will be published in ELSEVIER's Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (Elsevier's ENTCS). Scope: ===== Web services are nowadays emerging as a major technology for deploying automated interactions between distributed and heterogeneous applications. Various standards support this deployment including WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP. These standards respectively support the definition of Web services, their advertisement to the community of potential users, and finally their binding for invocation purposes. In general, composing Web services rather than accessing a single service is essential and provides better benefits to users. Composition primarily addresses the situation of a user's request that cannot be satisfied by any available service, whereas a composite service obtained by combining available services might be used. Several questions raise during Web services composition and execution including which businesses have the capacity to provision Web services, when and where the provisioning of Web services occurs, and how Web services from independent parties coordinate their activities during execution so that conflicts are avoided. To address some of these questions, it is recommended considering the context in which the composition and execution of Web services occur. Context is generally perceived as the information that characterizes the interaction between humans, applications, and the surrounding environment. From a Web services perspective, it is expected that context should define a set of common data about the current status of a Web service and its capability of collaborating with other peers, possibly enacted by distinct providers. For example before a Web service agrees to participate in a composite service its status in terms of current participation is assessed. Moreover, before a back-up strategy is deployed an assessment of the exception that a Web service has raised is needed. Relevant topics: =============== - Ontologies and context for Web services - Context-based semantic matching for Web services composition - Context-based Web services deployment - Software agent-based approaches for context-based Web services interaction - Context-aware Web services - Security of context during Web services interactions - Software agents and context for Web services personalization Papers and Evaluations: ====================== Authors are invited to submit electronically original papers through CONTEXT'05 Web site (http://www.context-05.org). Papers length should be between 12 and 15 pages and must be in ELSEVIER's ENTCS submission format (http://www.math.tulane.edu/~entcs). All papers will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, clarity, and technical quality. Papers of the workshop will be published as post-proceedings in ELSEVIER's Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ELSEVIER's ENTCS, http://www.elsevier.com/locate/entcs). A first hard copy will be provided at the workshop. A special issue in an international journal is expected and will be dedicated to selected papers from the workshop. At least one author of each paper should attend the workshop to present the paper.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CfP: 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Services (WMCS 2005) Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 22:05:37 +0100 From: Axel Küpper <axel.kuepper(a)ifi.lmu.de> Reply-To: axel.kuepper(a)ifi.lmu.de Organization: LMU To: wmcs(a)nm.ifi.lmu.de [Sincere apologies for possible multiple copies of this message] ========================================================================= 2nd Call for Papers The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Services July 18-19, 2005, Munich, Germany in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Electronic Commerce (IEEE CEC 2005) http://www.wmcs2005.org/ Paper submission deadline: February 14, 2005 ========================================================================= While wired E-Commerce has been accepted and used widely in recent years and become significantly important in our daily life, mobile commerce (M-commerce) is still an emerging discipline that is currently experiencing massive growth rates. The success of M-Commerce is basically dependent on the development and acceptance of new wireless technologies over 3G and 4G networks as well as intelligent service platforms on mobile devices. However, to fully exploit the high growth potentials of M-commerce there is a strong need to adopt existing E-commerce approaches for wireless networks and to develop new sophisticated mobile applications to meet the needs of mobile subscribers, for example in the areas of financial transactions, mobile marketing and gaming, as well as location and context-aware services. Compared with the traditional wired E-commerce, wireless networks and mobile devices impose additional constraints, challenges, and requirements on building M-commerce platforms and applications, for example content adaptation, security and privacy issues, and mobile payment mechanisms. The Second IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Services (WMCS) brings together researchers, scientists, software architects, and industry professionals with the aim of discussing and exchanging innovative ideas and research work in M-commerce and services. The topics for submissions include but are not limited to the following fields: - Novel M-commerce applications and services - Location and context-aware M-commerce services - Service platforms for supporting M-commerce (mobile web enterprise) - Brokerage and service discovery mechanisms - Middleware, mobile components, and agent technologies supporting M-commerce - Platforms for client applications in mobile devices (J2ME, Symbian) - Digital Rights Management - Wireless security problems & solutions, and mobile privacy - Mobile payment solutions, systems and platforms - New wireless multimedia technologies and platforms for M-commerce (e.g., DVB-H) - Inter-organizational service provisioning (business models and their realization) - Wireless advertising solutions, systems and platforms - Mobile entertainment applications, services and platforms for digital mu-sic, videos and games - Case-studies and experiences (experience reports) Submissions ----------- Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the members of the international program committee.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] SIGMETRICS 2005 - CFP Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 15:13:47 -0200 (BRDT) From: Jussara Marques de Almeida <jussara(a)dcc.ufmg.br> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LSNI Workshop 2005 Sigmetrics '05 Workshop on Large Scale Network Inference (LSNI): Methods, Validation, and Applications In recent years, large scale network inference has attracted significant interest within the research community. On one front, considerable progress has been made on traffic matrix estimation. Solutions have been proposed to estimate the amount of traffic flowing between any pair of ingress and egress points within an IP network simply based on the total amount of traffic recorded over IP links. On another front, efforts are being made to detect the state of the network from end to end measurements using inference techniques or to infer the traffic workload by exploiting application behavior. In essence, the full instrumentation of the state of an IP network is still considered a cost prohibitive task and inference may be the only tool we have to understand the behavior of such large scale systems. The potential benefits of the proposed estimation techniques can be great. Accurate measurement of an IP traffic matrix is essential for network design and planning. Moreover, accurate estimation of the network state can facilitate troubleshooting and performance evaluation. The focus of this workshop will be on the state of the art of large-scale network inference techniques in these areas and their potential applications. More specifically, we will solicit papers on the evaluation of the proposed techniques and their possible shortcomings. Of particular interest are papers that address the impact of estimation errors on the applications making use of traffic matrices and network tomography techniques. Lastly, we are interested in understanding the future of this area and its impact on network design and management. We solicit 6-page long papers that present work in progress related to the following topics: traffic matrix estimation techniques passive and active network tomography techniques validation methods scalability, robustness, sensitivity issues in large scale inference adaptive and continuous network inference practical applications and operational experience impact of sampling errors on estimation accuracy The accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, while an extended abstract of the submitted paper will be available in a special issue of Performance Evaluation Review (PER), which is sent to all Sigmetrics members and appears in the ACM digital library.
