From the mobile device, airlinks, and internet access network to the applications and services that next generation mobile service providers are to support, only one point seems to enjoy global consensus: we have barely begun to scratch the surface in creating the networks to serve the communication needs of a future media-hungry world equipped with an ever-increasing number of wireless devices. At the core of all this anticipated growth lies the following question: what technology enablers or application drivers will provide the incentive to fuel all these innovations? This panel will elicit thought-provoking discussions on the evolution and/or revolution of wireless and mobile networking technology. Technology experts from government, industry and academia will share their perspectives on which are the key drivers that are likely to support the introduction of innovations. They will also propose technology roadmaps highlighting research, industrial, and political challenges to be addressed. Those who can predict where the next big bang is likely to occur will have a running start in the race to untether the communication services of future generations. -------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL PROGRAM: There are 26 technical sessions!

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: ACM TOIT Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 10:52:24 -0400 From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: "OptimaNumerics" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Papers ACM Transactions on Internet Technology http://www.acm.org/toit Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing http://snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca/~qmahmoud/soa-middleware-cfp.pdf Middleware is a distributed software layer that sits above the network operating system and below the application layer and abstracts the heterogeneity of the underlying environment. It provides an integrated distributed environment whose objective is to simplify the task of programming and managing distributed applications, and to provide value-added services such as naming and transactions to enable easier development and integration of applications and services. Middleware is about integration and interoperability of applications and services running on heterogeneous computing and communications devices. The role of middleware will continue to become increasingly important especially in emerging technologies such as mobile- and service-oriented computing and web services, where the integration of different applications and services from different wired and wireless businesses and service providers become increasingly important. Service-oriented computing is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which is an architectural style for building software applications that use services available in a network such as the web. It promotes loose coupling between software components so that they can be reused. Applications in SOA are built based on services, which is an implementation of a well-define business functionality, and such services can be consumed by clients in different applications or business processes. SOA provides a level of flexibility that was not possible before in the sense that services are software components with well-defined interfaces that are implementation independent, that services can be dynamically discovered, and composite services can be built from aggregates of other services. Especially applications running on mobile devices can benefit from the flexibility which is provided by SOA. All those benefits, however, raise challenges that need to be addressed by middleware. Middleware will play an essential role in managing and provisioning service-oriented applications. As a result, middleware will be everywhere! The aim of this special issue is be to present most recent research findings on “middleware for service-oriented computing”. We are seeking papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: Middleware for selection and interaction among services Middleware for dynamic selection and composition of services/applications Middleware for dynamic coordination of services/applications Middleware for context-aware services/applications Middleware for managing services/applications Middleware for provisioning QoS-enabled services/applications Middleware for interoperable services Performance evaluation of middleware for service-oriented computing Submission Guidelines --------------------- All papers must be submitted by the midnight (EST) of December 1, 2005.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: EURASIP Journal of Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Visual Sensor Networks Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 02:26:35 -0500 From: Dr. Deepa Kundur <deepa(a)ee.tamu.edu> To: comm-theory(a)ieee.org, tccc(a)comsoc.org, multicomm(a)comsoc.org, itc(a)comsoc.org CC: Deepa Kundur <deepa(a)ee.tamu.edu>, Ching-Yung Lin <chingyung(a)us.ibm.com>, Chun-Shien Lu <lcs(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Visual Sensor Networks Call for Papers Research into the design, development, and deployment of networked sensing devices for high-level inference and surveillance of the physical environment has grown tremendously in the last few years. This trend has been motivated, in part, by recent technological advances in electronics, communication networking, and signal processing. Sensor networks are commonly comprised of lightweight distributed sensor nodes such as low-cost video cameras. There is inherent redundancy in the number of nodes deployed and corresponding networking topology. Operation of the network requires autonomous peer-based collaboration amongst the nodes and intermediate data-centric processing amongst local sensors. The intermediate processing known as in-network processing is application-specific. Often, the sensors are untethered so that they must communicate wirelessly and be battery-powered. Initial focus was placed on the design of sensor networks in which scalar phenomena such as temperature, pressure, or humidity were measured. It is envisioned that much societal use of sensor networks will also be based on employing content-rich vision-based sensors. The volume of data collected as well as the sophistication of the necessary in-network stream content processing provide a diverse set of challenges in comparison with generic scalar sensor network research. Applications that will be facilitated through the development of visual sensor networking technology include automatic tracking, monitoring and signaling of intruders within a physical area, assisted living for the elderly or physically disabled, environmental monitoring, and command and control of unmanned vehicles. Many current video-based surveillance systems have centralized architectures that collect all visual data at a central location for storage or real-time interpretation by a human operator. The use of distributed processing for automated event detection would significantly alleviate mundane or time-critical activities performed by human operators, and provide better network scalability. Thus, it is expected that video surveillance solutions of the future will successfully utilize visual sensor networking technologies. Given that the field of visual sensor networking is still in its infancy, it is critical that researchers from the diverse disciplines including signal processing, communications, and electronics address the many challenges of this emerging field.
