Since the beginning of the workshop in 2003 several research and business challenges related to public WLAN were put forward. These challenges still need to be explored and market needs to converge while new developments continue. The challenges are: What is the overall network architecture and service model? How to roam through multiple wireless access providers with a unique service contract? How to decouple the wireless infrastructure providers from the Internet service (and content) providers? How to locate service facilities in the wireless access domain and how to match the available facilities with the user needs? How to exploit location and context information? How to provide differentiated service levels to different customers? How to achieve seamless interoperation between WLAN-based hotspots and cellular and other emerging wireless data networks? The last challenge, concerning seamless interoperation, is catching the most attention these days leading to activities in IEEE 802 and in 3GPP to move quickly towards finding standardized solutions. This workshop will aim at discussing these and several other challenges and issues behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access. Leaders and thinkers of the field from academia and industry will assemble to share their ideas and views. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers or position papers, describing current research, experimental work and visions of the future. We are specifically interested in work dealing with network layer and above (layers 3-7). Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but is not limited to: . Applications and services . New service and business models . Public WLAN and hotspot architectures . Community-owned WLAN infrastructures . WLAN-based ad-hoc network service creation and management . Metro-area hotspots using 802.11/802.16 mesh . Multi-radio mesh node designs . Self-configuring mesh networks for public hotspots . Mobile routers for transient, portable hotspots . Application case studies of mobile routers . Interworking with other wireless systems, e.g., 3G, 802.16 . Mobility, roaming, and handoff management . Context-aware services and technologies . Location-aware applications and services . Multimedia wireless applications, e.g., Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) . Authentication, accounting, billing and payment issues . Security and privacy in public WLANs . Middleware support . Service location and discovery . Traffic measurements and modeling .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MLMD'06; Deadline extended to Feb 28 Datum: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 00:03:15 -0500 Von: Alhussein Abouzeid <hussein(a)ecse.rpi.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: abouzeid(a)ecse.rpi.edu *** Workshop on Multi-Layer Modelling and Design of Multi-Hop Wireless Networks (MLMD’06), to be held in conjunction with the 12th IEEE International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS'2006), July 12-15, 2006, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. *** Sponsored by: * The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. * The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing.The proceedings will be published by the IEEE, and available online on IEEE Xplore. Workshop Scope: This workshop will present and discuss recent results that capture the performance and design tradeoffs when multiple layers interact, as they do, in wireless multi-hop networks. The layered architecture view of networks has allowed various experts to work independently to optimize the performance at their level of abstraction. Wireless multi-hop networks have challenged the benefits of this approach, at least from a performance perspective. The fact that in most sensor networks the performance and purpose are tightly coupled with a physical phenomenon increases the coupling between the top and bottom layers of the reference network protocols stack. Furthermore, we are witnessing an increasing interest in terms of what the design of the Internet would be if we have the chance to do it all from scratch. Examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Joint optimization of multiple layers - Joint modelling and performance evaluation of multiple layers - Communication/computation methods and abstractions - Techniques and models of medium access, aggregation, routing, and compression that explicitly account for multiple layers - Designs leveraging recent technologies (e.g. software radio) and their performance - Designs allowing co-existence in crowded shared spectrum - Network reliability issues including quality of service - Multi-layer security in a distributed environment Technical Program Committee: Eylem Ekici Ohio State University, OH, USA Hesham Elgamal Ohio State University, OH, USA Martin Haenggi University of Notre Dame, IN, USA Ekram Hossain University of Manitoba, MB, Canada Koushik Kar Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NY, USA Ulas Kozat Docomo Labs, USA Bhaskar Krishnamachari University of Southern California, CA, USA Hussein Mouftah University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Tarek Saadawi City University of New York, NY, USA Biplab Sikdar Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NY, USA Ivan Stojmenovic University Of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Rajiv Vijayakumar University of Washington, WA, USA Yanyong Zhang Rutgers University, NJ, USA Rong Zheng University of Houston, TX, USA Workshop Chair: Alhussein Abouzeid Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 110 8th St, Troy, NY 12180 http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/homepages/abouzeid abouzeid(a)ecse.rpi.edu Location and Duration: This is a one day workshop.

Dynamic control of connection oriented networks entails the implementation of capabilities within the network for state information management, resource allocation, decision making, and action invocation. These capabilities are manifested through sophisticated control plane algorithms and protocols for path computation, routing, and signaling. Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)/Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) protocols have attained a high level of maturity to the extent that many network equipment vendors are now augmenting their products with MPLS and GMPLS software and major carriers are now providing mission critical MPLS-based IP VPN services as a cost-effective alternative to traditional point-to-point TDM private lines. At the same time, recent advancements in the area of MPLS and GMPLS control plane technologies have led to the proposition that it is possible to develop a unified control plane construct that can be used for different types of connection oriented networks, encompassing a broad range of switching technologies. Scope of contributions Original contributions of a tutorial nature are solicited that cover the topics including but not limited to: Novel architectures for MPLS and GMPLS networks Inter-domain routing and signaling Routing and signaling for heterogeneous paths Automatic discovery techniques Call and connection management Multi-layers protection and restoration Transport Protocols protocols for high speed connections Distributed versus centralized management solutions Security of control plane messages Pseudo-wire emulation Resource allocation in and contention resolution in multi-layer networks Integrated network control and management Control interconnection models Interfaces to dynamically controlled optical networks Intelligent network control middleware Multi-layer traffic engineering Control plane design Testbeds and field trials Schedule: Full article submission: April 1, 2006 Acceptance/rejection/revision: July 1, 2006 Revised manuscripts: August 1, 2006 Final manuscripts due: October 1, 2006 Publication date: December 2006 Submission of the papers: For manuscript submission, the authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines under "Information for Authors" at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IWQoS 2006 CFP Datum: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 11:08:40 -0500 (EST) Von: Y. R. Yang <yry(a)cs.yale.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu * Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message * Paper registration and submission deadlines are 2/20 and 2/27/2006. -- IWQoS organizing committee --------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Fourteenth IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2006) June 19-21, 2006 Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA OVERVIEW Since 1994, IWQoS has evolved into a premier workshop providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting edge research on quality of service (QoS). Building on the successes of previous workshops, the objective of IWQoS 2006 is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in the area to discuss timely research results, and to identify future directions and challenges in developing practical computer/networking systems where predictable, controlled, and robust performance is a central requirement. The workshop's scope will broadly cover all the important aspects of QoS research: in networking (wireline, wireless, and sensor networks), distributed systems, operating systems, servers, and middleware (such as grid computing and peer-to-peer systems), where relevant technical issues include availability, reliability, security, pricing, incentive, resource management, and performance guarantees. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): o QoS in grid, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless mesh networks o QoS in large-scale distributed systems o System dependability, availability, resilience, and robustness o Security as a QoS parameter o Rationality, incentive, microeconomics, and self-interest in decentralized networks o QoS in wireless, mobile, ad hoc, and sensor networks o QoS specification, translation, and adaptation o Measurement-based QoS estimation and verification o QoS in intranets and VoIP systems We also solicit papers in the following areas: o QoS architectures and protocols o QoS analysis and modeling o Resource management and admission control o QoS routing o QoS pricing and billing o Evaluation metrics and methodologies for QoS o Content delivery networks with service/performance guarantees o QoS in web systems and storage systems o Programmability and language features supporting QoS o QoS in multimedia systems o Service Level Agreements and QoS o Server-side QoS and its roles in end-to-end QoS provisioning o QoS-aware middleware frameworks and services o Integrated and differentiated services in wide-area networks The workshop is a single track forum of two and a half days. It is cross-disciplinary and well focused, with an emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of the meeting time will be devoted to informal discussions. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions. BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD Award will be given at the conference to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student.
