-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call For Papers: Wireless Mesh Networks Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2006 13:54:38 -0500 (EST) From: Xudong Wang <wxudong(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAl ISSUE ON WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc/ Guest editors: Xudong Wang, Kiyon, Inc. Edward Knightly, Rice University Marco Conti, National Research Council, Italy Anthony Ephremides, University of Maryland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless mesh networks consist of mesh clients and mesh routers. Mesh routers form a wireless backbone via multi-hop ad-hoc networking but with minimal-mobility. The mesh backbone provides network access for both wired and wireless clients including mesh clients, and enables the integration of various wired and wireless networks. Mesh clients can run as a mobile ad hoc network. However, in order to achieve much better network performance, it is always preferable for them to work under the coordination of mesh routers. Due to the existence of a mesh backbone, wireless mesh networks possess many advantages over other wireless networks, and are expected to be one of the most promising wireless networking technologies. Despite recent progresses in wireless mesh networks, many research issues still remain. This special issue is dedicated to state-of-the-art research achievements in the area of wireless mesh networking. The papers must focus on research problems that are specific to wireless mesh networking, rather than on generic topics of ad-hoc or multi-hop networking. This special issue will cover all aspects of wireless mesh networking. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Mesh network architecture and performance analysis Mesh network capacity Scalability issues and solutions Medium access control and routing protocols Protocol design for MIMO, adaptive antenna, reconfigurable radios, software radios, and cognitive radios Cross-layer design and optimization QoS and multimedia traffic over wireless mesh networks Topology, power, and mobility management Interworking between heterogeneous networks and adaptive protocols Network self-organization and self-configuration Trustworthy networks and security algorithms Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems Testbed, deployment, and application practice Authors must submit their manuscripts through Elsevier Editorial System at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/, and must choose article type as Special Issue-Wireless Mesh Networks.

Prasad, DoCoMo Comm. Labs. Europe GmbH, Munich, Germany Selim Aissi, Intel Corporation, Portland, USA Sunghyun Choi, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea Jeevarathinam Ravikumar, Consistel, Singapore Scope of Special Issue Mobile communication has evolved in a rapid pace from the introduction of Analog Cellular networks in 1980s. Technology has gone through tremendous changes in terms of security, access techniques, protocol stacks, bandwidth usage and also convergence into packet switching based on All-IP network from the conventional circuit switched techniques. Complexity has increased due to the introduction of different access technologies, available services, and other aspects as mentioned above during the telecom evolution for the past 20 years. Pressure is mounting to harmonize various technologies under a common IP backbone so that seamless handover can be provided that exploits the benefits of available radio access technologies. Seamless handover should be achieved not only for Inter-Technology but also for Inter-Operator handover. Operators and the consumers will be greatly benefited in terms of cost effectiveness, enhanced features, location independence and ease of use through the introduction of seamless heterogeneous handover mechanisms. Several standardization activities have already started working on technical solutions for seamless handover. One of the well known activities is that of next-generation networks (NGN) making use of IMS based solution for service provisioning and handover between fixed and mobile operators. Within 3GPP and 3GPP2, activities are on-going to provision handover between different technologies and recently, in 3GPP, between different domains. This activity within 3GPP falls under All-IP Network (AIPN) System Architecture Evolution (SAE)/Radio Access Network (RAN) Long Term Evolution (LTE). IEEE 802 is also looking into media-independent handover (MIH) in 802.21 while 802.11u is working on inter-technology handover. Handover enhancement within IEEE 802.11 is taking place within Task Group R (TGr). IETF has produced some solutions in the seamoby working group while further enhancements are being done in various other groups including mobopts, mipshop and mobike. Along with standardization activities, various operators and vendors are also involved in developing harmonized solution for heterogeneous networks, like, UMA. At the same time a lot of research and development activities are taking place by academia, research institutes and industries too. So far, the work has focused on one specific topic of handover such as security, QoS, and routing. However, the focus should be on developing an end-to-end network perspective that covers the whole span of the network from radio aspects to OSS aspects that includes value added services. With the above background, this special issue invites people to present papers on seamless handover in heterogeneous networks in the following (but, not limited to) areas: - Handover security - Solutions for mobility support - Charging and billing, and AAA infrastructure - Fraud Management across various networks - Access Control techniques in heterogeneous networks - QoS provisioning for inter-technology and intra-/inter-domain handover - Content provisioning and seamless use of VAS across different networks - Standardization activities - Testbed or measurement results Important dates Deadline of paper submissions: 15th May 2006 Notification of acceptance: 1st October 2006 Final Manuscripts Due: 1st November 2006 Publication of Feature Topic: February 2007 Submission Papers should follow the Springer format (11pt, single column, double spaced) and not exceed twenty pages including figures and tables.

27 Jan '06

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] International Conference on Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing - Symposium on "Next Generation Mobile Networks" Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 13:30:18 -0500 From: Shahrokh Valaee <valaee(a)comm.utoronto.ca> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> International Conference on Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (IWCMC 2006) Sheraton Wall Centre, Vancouver, Canada, July 3-6, 2006 http://www.iwcmc2006.cs.wmich.edu/ Symposium on “Next Generation Mobile Networks” http://conferences.ece.ubc.ca/ngmn2006/ CALL FOR PAPERS Scope: Next generation mobile networks are expected to allow subscribers to transparently access broadband multimedia services via multiple wireless and wireline access networks. Evolution towards next generation mobile networks is already taking place through the interworking of third generation (3G) cellular systems such as UMTS and cdma2000 with other broadband wireless access technologies such as WiFi hotspots and WiMax to provide mobile users with anytime anywhere access to broadband multimedia services over the Internet. The next generation mobile networks will also be shaped by emerging standards for wireless access from mobile terminals, e.g., IEEE 802.20, and for integration of heterogeneous wireless access networks, e.g., IEEE 802.21. Interworking of diverse wireless and wireline access technologies into a converged global network will provide many technical challenges. Due to the heterogeneity in the wireless access techniques and the requirements of multimedia services, the issue of QoS provisioning and enforcement in the future generation mobile networks will become a critical issue for the wireless access equipment vendors, networks service providers, and customers. Cross-layer protocol engineering along with application-oriented signaling protocols, and creation of new services will be required for efficient network resource utilization and to bring profitability to the service providers. The symposium on “Next Generation Mobile Networks” will provide a timely technical forum for the dissemination of new results in this exciting research area. It will cover key aspects of B3G/4G mobile networks, particularly architectures, protocols and management techniques to coordinate heterogeneous wireless access networks and integrate them into a common core network, and services and applications that take advantage of this integrated network platform. Papers addressing areas such as protocol engineering, resource management, mobility management, handoff management, QoS provisioning, authentication, authorization and accounting, performance analysis and optimization models are encouraged. Symposium Topics: Topics include but are not limited to: * Next generation broadband wireless mobile network architectures and protocols * Heterogeneous wireless mobile networks * Internetworking among heterogeneous wireless and wire-line networks * Integration of 3G and broadband wireless networks (e.g., IEEE 802.16a) * Integration of 3G and meshed (multi-hop) wireless networks * Scheduling, call admission control, bandwidth adaptation, and error control protocols * Solar powered wireless mobile networks and protocols for energy efficiency * Pricing models for broadband mobile multimedia networks * Service provisioning through IP multimedia subsystem * Application-oriented protocols * Modeling, performance evaluation, and optimization techniques * Mobility, location and handoff management in heterogeneous mobile networks * QoS specification and metrics for mobile multimedia networks * Multimedia QoS and traffic management in mobile networks * Network resource management and QoS provisioning * Multi-protocol architectures and devices * Network control and signaling * Proxies and middleware for wireless mobile networks * Next generation broadband satellite systems * Terrestrial-satellite integration scenarios & techniques * Cross-layer protocol engineering for wireless mobile networks * Mobile multicasting * Wireless mobile network security and privacy * Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) over heterogeneous mobile networks * Emerging applications of wireless mobile networks (e.g., wireless telemedicine) Schedule: * Paper submission deadline: January 30, 2006 * Notification of acceptance: March 30, 2006 * Final manuscript due: April 30, 2006 Symposium Chair: Victor C.
