The associated communication channels and traffic patterns in mobile wireless networks are more unpredictable than the traditional wire-line networks. On the other hand, the future multimedia applications impose stringent and diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, which cannot be satisfactorily addressed through the traditional layering network-protocol architecture. Correspondingly, a cross-layer design paradigm would be needed to achieve transmission protocol stack performance while meeting these new challenges in QoS requirements. The cross-layer designs and protocols tend to be very essential approaches for the mobile wireless and ad hoc networks where unpredictable variables such as node mobility, node density, network dimensions make the diverse and stringent wireless QoS requirements even harder to satisfy. Cross-layer designs and protocols are the emerging research areas where some early results have recently been reported in the literatures, but the upcoming new applications and more stringent/diverse wireless QoS requirements open even more new opportunities for many interesting and comprehensive research topics targeting at concepts, methodologies, and techniques to support the future advanced mobile wireless applications. Clearly, the developments of the new schemes, mechanisms, and systems associated with the cross-layer designs and protocols will have a significant impact on the next generation of mobile wireless communications and networks. Scope of Contributions: The focuses of the papers to be published in the IEEE International Cross-Layer Designs and Protocols Symposium will concentrate on the state-of-the-art research in various aspects of cross-layer designs and protocols for the next-generation mobile wireless communications networks. We solicit the original papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the following areas: Methodologies for cross-layer protocol design in mobile wireless networks Cross-layer strategies for wireless multimedia communications Cross-layer error and delay control Cross-Layer Optimization for Energy, Network Lifetime, and Capacity Communication Networks and Layered Network Architectures Complexity and Scalability Issues in Cross-Layer Design Physical Layer Information for MAC/Radio Link Control (RLC) Protocols Signaling for Cross-Layer Protocol Interaction QoS and Radio Resource Management in Layered Networks Channel Access Algorithms for Cross-Layered Wireless Networks Routing, mobility management, and congestion control Performance Optimization for Cross-Layer Design of Wireless Network Cross-Layer Design of MAC, RLC, and Routing Protocols in Wireless Networks Software Defined Radio and Dynamic Wireless Networks Call Admission Control for Ad Hoc Networks Architectures for cross-layer protocol design in mobile wireless networks Adaptation for Energy Minimization in Cross-Layer Wireless Networks Cross-Layer Design issues for QoS provisioning in Wireless Networks Layer Adaptation Based on Cross-Layer Notifications Signal Processing for Cross-Layer Design Cross-Layer Strategies and end-to-end QoS Special Projects in Cross-Layer Design Cross-Layer Strategies in Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks Interactions among PHY/MAC/RLC & transport layer protocols (e.g., TCP/UDP) Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control Cross-layer design of MAC/RLC/Routing protocols in wireless ad hoc network Cross-layer adaptation for energy minimization in wireless networks Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications Cross-layer strategies and end-to-end quality of service Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results Overview/survey of the special undergoing/planned projects Standardization-issues/status-reports of various standards organizations.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ISCC06] Personalized Networks'06 cfp Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 16:31:52 +0100 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: iscc2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call for papers ============================================================ First International Workshop on Personalized Networks To be held in conjunction with: The 3rd Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networks and Services (MOBIQUITOUS 2006) July 17-21, 2006 - San Jose, California, USA http://www.wmc.ewi.tudelft.nl/~martin/pnets/ ============================================================ Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: April 1, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: May 8, 2006 Camera-Ready Submissions: May 31, 2006 (Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library) ============================================================= Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to ponder. On the one hand, we see present day mobile devices capable of providing many integrated services that only yesterday required several different devices. For instance, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and the desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand, the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit http://www.wmc.ewi.tudelft.nl/~martin/pnets/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems outlined above towards a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting the goal of a Personalized Network. * Addressing and routing * Architectural framework of personalized networks * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Dependability * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of person-centric applications * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Multimedia services for personalized networks * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Resource, service and context discovery * Security, privacy and accounting * Self-organization and adaptation * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, which attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: The 3rd International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06) Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2006 12:20:23 -0500 From: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Reply-To: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: University of Guelph To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> We apologize if you received multiple copies of this Call for Papers. ********************* UIC-06 ************************* The 3rd International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06) - Building Smart Worlds on Real and Cyber Spaces - http://grid.hust.edu.cn/uic06/ Organized by Huazhong Univ. of Sci. and Tech. (HUST) Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying) Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006 ****************************************************** Following ubiquitous computers, networks, information, services, etc., is a road towards a smart world (SW) created on both real and cyber spaces. A SW is mainly characterized by ubiquitous intelligence (UI) or computational intelligence pervasive in the physical world, filled with ubiquitous intelligent or smart things, that are capable of computing, communicating, and behaving smartly with some intelligence. One of the profound implications of such ubiquitous smart things is that various kinds and levels of intelligence will exist ubiquitously in everyday objects, environments, systems and even ourselves, and possibly be extended from man-made to natural things. "Ubicomp" or "percomp" can be regarded as the computing of all these intelligent/smart things/u-things, that are essential elements and components of the SW. A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the ubiquitous world with universal services of any means/place/time to the SW of trustworthy services with the right means/place/time. UIC-06 is a successor of the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart Worlds (UISW2005, Japan, Dec. 2005) which succeeds the 1st Int'l Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW2005,Taipei, Mar. 2005). It offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments, and systems as well as discuss various personal/social/physical issues faced by UI and SWs. Topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects * Electronic Label, Card, E-Tag and RFID * Embedded Chips, Sensor & Actuator * MEMS, NEMS, Mote & Biometric Device * Everyday Good, Artifact, Robot, etc. * Smart Appliance and Wearable Device * Material, Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc. * Emerging Intelligent/Smart Objects * Embedded Software and Agents 2. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Environments * Room, Home, Office, Laboratory, etc. * Building, Library, School, Campus, etc. * Shop, Clinic, Hospital and Health Care * Street, Yard, Park, Ground, City, etc. * Vehicle, Road, Traffic & Transportation * Land, Pool, Space and Hyperspace * Learning, Sport, Entertainment, etc. * Novel Intelligent/Smart Applications 3. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Systems * Sensor, Ad Hoc & Intelligent Networks * Knowledge Representation and Ontology * Wearable, Personal and Body Area Systems * OS, Middleware and Intelligent Association * Intelligent Service Architecture, Grid & Mesh * Massive Agents, Swarm/Amorphous Systems * Proactive, Autonomic and Organic Systems * Novel Intelligent/Smart Systems 4. Personal/Social/Physical Aspects * Real/Cyber World Modeling and Semantics * End-User Interface, Control & Programming * Social/Natural/Physical Model of UI & SW * User/Object Identity and Activity Recognition * Security, Privacy, Trust and Legal/Policy Issues * Emotional, Ethical and Psychological Factors * Implication and Impact of UI and SW * Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds ==IMPORTANT DATES== Submission Deadline: March 10, 2006 Authors Notification: May 10, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: June 10, 2006 ==ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION== Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file.
