China's information technology industry and research have been developing at an enormous pace in the last 20 years. Currently China has the largest wireless mobile and the second largest Internet subscriber population in the world. By the end of 2005, the mobile phone users have reached 388 million (19% of the world market), and the number will be over 500 million by 2008 and over 150 million will be multimedia applications. Internet users have exceeded 100 million (half of them are broadband service subscribers). The total sale of optical cables & fibers reached 15 million kilometers in 2004, with the sale of the whole optical communication facility market reaching 1.5 billion USD. Furthermore, business/market factors in this area in China are unique since they are Government driven and mixed with culture, technology, and market forces. CHINACOM is being positioned as the premier international annual conference for the presentation of original and fundamental research advances in the field of Communications, Networks, and Internet Applications. The conference will consist of Technical Symposia, and Workshops.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Wireless Technologies in Factory and Industrial Automation"]
by Lars Wolf 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Wireless Technologies in Factory and Industrial Automation" Datum: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 19:08:33 +0200 Von: Andreas Willig <awillig(a)tkn.tu-berlin.de> Organisation: Telecommunication Networks Group An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Repost, deadline was wrong. Please apologize for any duplicates. ------------------------------------ Wireless technologies have the potential of providing significant benefits in factory and industrial automation systems. The wireless way of communicating makes plant setup and modification easier, cheaper and more flexible. It provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile equipment where wires are in constant danger of breaking. It enables new applications where wireless transmission is the only option, e.g., measurements and control of rotating or highly mobile devices, and provides a novel approach to existing applications, e.g., localization and tracking of goods. Wireless technologies do, however, suffer from time-varying error rates, interference and security problems. This imposes a number of problems, especially in the industrial application field, where often tight constraints in terms of reliability, safety, dependability and real-time requirements have to be fulfilled in order to avoid severe financial losses or even damage to equipment or life. Several other issues may arise, including the interconnection of wireless systems with legacy industrial communication systems, the provisioning of support for proper system planning, configuration and commissioning of wireless industrial communication systems as well as power feeding problems. The goal of this special section is to attract theoretical and practical papers attacking the main issues and challenges concerning the adoption of wireless technologies in industrial communications; reporting about implementation experiences; describing and evaluating the design of new applications of wireless technologies in industrial and automation systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Lower-layer protocols for ensuring efficient, reliable and timely data transmissions in industrial environments: physical layer, coding, MAC / link-layer techniques. - Wireless fieldbus systems, including hybrid wired/wireless systems and wireless extensions of wired configurations. - Wireless-aware, industrial type, higher-layer protocols. - Middleware for wireless industrial applications. - Standardization activities with special emphasis on wireless technologies for factory and industrial automation systems. - Security of wireless communication systems in industrial environments. - Applications of wireless technologies (incl. RFID) in factory/industrial automation systems, including innovative applications like wireless-based localization, tracking. - Field trials and low-level measurements (e.g., channel properties, interference) for the characterization of industrial environments. - System-level tools for wireless network planning and configuration in industrial settings. - Wireless power transmission in industrial environments. We seek original contributions not currently under review by other journals. All contributions must focus on industrial applications and requirements. Results obtained by simulations must be validated in bounds by experiments or analytical results. The novelty of the contributions should be clearly indicated and related to the current state of the art. Manuscript preparation and submission: Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics http://www.ewh.ieee.org/soc/ies/tii/ Submit using Manuscript Central only http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii Key dates: Paper submission deadline: August 31, 2006 Expected publication date: August 2007 Note: The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor in Chief and Editor at Large for special sections.

At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g., dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such diverse set of technologies and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying the key performance bottlenecks, thus shape future advances in wireless technology. With this in mind, this workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers addressing experimental wireless networking issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design and evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms * Experiences/lessons from recent testbed design efforts * Hybrid experimentation approaches combining use of multiple evaluation methodologies * Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures * Testbed management issues and monitoring support * Wireless testbed case studies * Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols (at different layers), and the impact of cross-layer interactions * Large-scale and heterogeneous wireless network evaluations * Approaches for real-world evaluation of mobile networks * Evaluation environments for sensor and satellite networks * Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing * Implementation approaches to ease transition between various evaluation methodologies as well as to improve testbed accessibility * New measurement methodologies and infrastructures * Measurement and characterization (modeling) of various real-world aspects such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics * Interference and spectrum usage measurements * Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies * Software tools in support of measurements, trace/data collection and management IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------ Submission deadline: June 15, 2006 Author notification: July 21, 2006 Camera ready papers: August 11, 2006 Workshop date: September 29, 2006 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS * Rajive Bagrodia (UCLA) * Mahesh Marina (UCLA) FURTHER INFORMATION ------------------------------- Please visit the WiNTECH 2006 workshop website: http://chenyen.cs.ucla.edu/events/wintech06/ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
