-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET'05) Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 15:48:41 -0800 From: Chen-Nee Chuah <chuah(a)ece.ucdavis.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2005 The Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2005 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Web site: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 9, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2005 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 13, 2005 The goal of this workshop is to explore the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Enabled by short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-roadside), the VANET vision includes vehicular realtime and safety applications, sharing the wireless channel with mobile applications from a large, decentralized array of commercial service providers. VANET safety applications include collision and other safety warnings. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. Following the success of VANET 2004 held last year in Philadelphia, VANET 2005, the Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks, will be held in Cologne, Germany, September 2, 2005, in conjunction with MobiCom 2005. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Safety and commercial applications * Protocol design (including low-power, cross-layer, etc.) * Security and privacy * Power control * Multi-channel organization and operation * Network management * Modulation and coding * Channel modeling The opportunities for VANET are growing rapidly. In December 2003, the U.S. FCC approved 75 MHz of spectrum for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), and the resulting DSRC system is expected to be the first wide-scale VANET in North America. In Japan, two DSRC standards have been adopted (the ARIB STD-T75 in 2001, the ARIB STD-T88 in 2004), and Japanese auto manufactures are working with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation in the third phase of an ambitious Advanced Safety Vehicle project. The German Ministry of Education and Research has sponsored the Fleetnet and Network on Wheels projects. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs. Creating high-performance, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community. Yet, certain limitations commonly assumed in ad hoc networks are mitigated in VANET. For example, VANET may marshal ample computational and power resources. Mobility patterns are constrained by road paths and driving speed restrictions. As opposed to sensor networks, VANET represents high resource/performance wireless technologies. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch × 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2005 web page at http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Please email questions related to paper submission or the technical program to vanet2005-pc-chairs(a)monarch.cs.rice.edu .

Obaidat <obaidat(a)monmouth.edu> My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Computers and Electrical Engineering Journal http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/367/descriptio… Special Issue on "Advances and Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks and Systems" Guest Editors: Prof. Mohammad S. Obaidat, Dept. of Computer Science, Monmouth University Prof. Mario Marchese, Dept. of Communication, Computer and System Science (DIST), University of Genoa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wireless and satellite technology offers many advantages with respect to cable networks both concerning scalability, overcoming geographical obstacles, covering isolated areas, application in hazardous environments. In many cases, as well as in aerospace applications, the wireless choice is a must. In other cases, wireless means resource optimization, as in the case of Wireless LANs. Cable networks and the Internet are not sufficient to support applications in some environments. People may require news on the web in hazardous environments. Moreover, in the presence of infrastructure, traffic bottlenecks of terrestrial networks and traditional links could make the service highly inefficient, if not useful. Therefore, there is increasing commercial interest to use wireless in modern telecommunications systems such as local area services, interactivity and possibility of building networks adapted to the different needs; tele-learning; managing activity of the Public Administration; bank and financial services; industrial activity located remotely; broadcasting and backbone access; international connections; tele-medicine; data recovery; video-surveillance; application in rural environments; applications for vehicles, trains and planes; and tactical communications, among others. Offering real services with a specific guarantee of Quality of Service (QoS) over wireless systems (including WLAN, radio and satellite) is very challenging as it implies the need to solve challenging research and development issues due to the peculiarity of the application environment. This issue of Computer and Electrical Engineering (C & EE) Journal is aimed at soliciting recent original and previously unpublished research results that deal with technological solutions, protocols, applications, performance analysis of Wireless Networks, including WLANs, WMANs, radio networks, 3G and beyond systems, military tactical and satellite networks.

Precise date is not known yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP --------------------- Wireless sensor networks (WSN) - networks of tiny sensing devices capable of wireless communication - realize the vision of pervasive computing and bridge the gap between computer systems and the real world. They are deeply embedded into physical surroundings and gather and process environmental data like temperature, humidity, light conditions, seismic activities, or images of the environment. This data can be used to detect events and to trigger activity. Some applications are habitat monitoring (observing live animals), precision agriculture, structural health monitoring (detecting damage in buildings, bridges, aircrafts), emergency and rescue operations, supply chain management, or perimeter and building security. Building on the success of the first Workshop on Sensor Networks at INFORMATIK 2004, this workshop aims at bringing together researchers from different backgrounds to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Hardware for WSNs and its impact on communication protocols - Operating systems and middleware for WSNs - Communication protocols for WSNs, e.g. MAC and routing, addressing schemes - Distributed classification and data fusion - Distributed data storage and processing - Self-organization in sensor networks - Quality of Service in WSNs - Energy/efficiency tradeoffs in all protocol layers - Security requirements and security primitives for WSNs - Access control and trust management - Privacy impacts of WSNs - Inter-connection between WSN and the Internet - Testbeds, use cases PARTICIPANTS ------------ The intended audience are researchers from academia and industry, especially working in the areas of sensor networks, embedded systems, communication middleware, and databases as well as resource-constrained communication networks as such. SUBMISSION ---------- We accept submissions in both German and English. Submissions must not exceed 5 pages including figures and bibliography and have to be formatted according to the style guidelines of the Springer LNI series available at http://www.gi-ev.de/LNI/. Submissions should be sent by email to Zinaida Benenson at: zina(a)i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de Accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings of the INFORMATIK 2005 conference.
