Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------- Call for Papers IEEE GLOBECOM 2005 Workshop 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Adaptive Wireless Networks (AWiN) November 28th, 2005, St. Louis, Missouri, USA http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2005// Adaptation in mobile wireless networks is motivated by several factors such as time-varying channel conditions, network traffic, mobility, resource constraints, vulnerability to attacks etc. An adaptive algorithm/protocol makes decisions for the future based solely on past and current information. These decisions could be, for example, choosing the transmission band in a spectrum agile wireless network, user scheduling and/or routing depending on link and traffic conditions, wake-up/sleep decisions in a battery constrained sensor network etc. Adaptive protocols have been observed to improve the throughput, utilization and other performance factors. The intent of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their ideas on using adaptive/online/real-time algorithms for optimizing mobile wireless computing and networking. The topics of interest include (but not limited to): Adaptive link layer error control Dynamic spectrum access Cognitive radio Online algorithms and competitive analysis Intelligent resource allocation (e.g., battery power-aware techniques) Dynamic routing protocols Mobility based adaptation Wireless security Application layer rate control (e.g., image/video streaming) Ad hoc and sensor network applications Adaptive scheduling algorithms Adaptive cross-layer optimization Middleware support Test beds, experimentation and standards Submission Instructions: Authors must submit original, not previously published contributions via email to mouli(a)stevens.edu with subject line "AWiN Submission".

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers: Distributed Multimedia Streaming at CCNC 2006 Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2005 02:49:24 -0400 From: Duc A. Tran <dr.zigzag(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Duc A. Tran <dr.zigzag(a)gmail.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, manet(a)ietf.org CC: thinhq(a)eecs.orst.edu References: <028401c5896c$fb65c030$6401a8c0@hpn307pc2> Please ignore if you already received this message ===================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 2006 IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2006) January 7-10, 2006 - Las Vegas, USA Special Session on Distributed Multimedia Streaming Multimedia streaming is one of the most popular services on the current Internet. Its already-high demand is even on the rise as the Internet users have started to be familiar with peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies which enable them to share contents between one another directly. Streaming in the P2P manner, in contrast to the traditional client/server approach, takes advantage of existing end-system computational and networking resources, thus allowing economical clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire service community. However, multimedia content is resource demanding while user computing devices are not as powerful as are content servers. Consequently, designing a good decentralized streaming scheme in a large-scale peer-to-peer environment is challenging. The problem becomes more of a challenge due to the ad hoc behavior of peers; they can leave and join the system freely at any time. As people tend to work beyond their office desk, it is also expected that the next generation of communication networks includes rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly without any networking infrastructure such as the Internet and infrastructure-based wireless LANs. In other words, the users form a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). As multimedia streaming becomes an integrated part of an increasing number of applications and wireless networks are emerging to dominate the communication environment of the future, it is interesting and worthwhile to investigate multimedia streaming solutions for MANETs. There are many open issues regarding this investigation due to the deviation between the resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service desired by multimedia streaming users. This special session seeks original contributions of high-quality papers that address novel systems challenges towards the success of multimedia streaming deployment in peer-to-peer, content distribution, and wireless ad hoc networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Signal processing/compression/information theories to support ad hoc multimedia streaming * Modeling, measurement, and performance study on ad hoc multimedia streaming * Internet P2P multimedia streaming * P2P multimedia content distribution networks * Ad hoc overlay solutions for multimedia streaming * Live streaming, video on demand, and video conferencing in wireless ad hoc networks * Network and transport protocols for streaming in wireless ad hoc networks * Management, QoS, and security aspects in streaming over wireless ad hoc networks * Streaming applications in sensor networks * Implementations of multimedia streaming in ad hoc networks Important Dates Paper submission deadline: August 29, 2005 Notification of acceptance: September 30, 2005 Camera-ready version due: October 14, 2005 Special Session Co-Chairs Thinh Nguyen, Oregon State University (thinhq(a)eecs.orst.edu) Duc A. Tran, University of Dayton (duc.tran(a)notes.udayton.edu) Pascal Frossard, EPFL (pascal.frossard(a)epfl.ch) Information for Authors Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers in PS or PDF format to one of the co-chairs via electronic mail. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished work, and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. The first page of the paper should include the authors' names, affiliations, fax/telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The first page should also include a less-than-200-word abstract. The camera-ready version for an accepted paper will be no more than 6 pages in IEEE double-column standard format. Contributions will be reviewed by at least three referees from both the program committee and external reviewers for originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance, and technical contents on basis of papers. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

WSNs are characterized by a need to carefully integrate functionalities traditionally considered to be separate in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, a close interaction of research from different backgrounds is required. Additionally, WSNs are evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, e.g., because actuators in the network have to be supported. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging, miniaturization * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, mobility support, gateways to fixed Internet, providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Operating systems and programming abstractions: novel concepts and tools for programming and debugging sensor nodes, high-level programming abstractions * Middleware and service infrastructures: configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, QoS support, localization and synchronization services, integrating WSN in existing middleware architectures * Information processing: querying, coding, compression, fusion, aggregation, event detection, classification, tracking * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Novel applications: requirements, experiences with real-world applications; the role of WSNs in realizing the visions of Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds, debugging and testing * Models: energy and resource consumption, applications, mobility, and communication For further information, please visit the workshop website (http://www.ewsn.org) or contact the program chairs at <pcchairs(a)ewsn.org>.
