Paper abstracts must be registered by May 8 at 11:59pm EDT. No further extensions are possible. ==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS SIGCOMM 2006 - Workshop on Internet Network Management (INM'06) Pisa, Italy, September 11 http://www.research.microsoft.com/~dmaltz/inm06 ===================================================================== In many ways, computer network management remains the least understood aspect of networking, with are few well-established principles to guide the design of network management systems and little scientific theory to support reasoning about and controlling the state of a network. This workshop will provide an opportunity to elevate our collective experiences with IP networks into principles and ideas that can be implemented today and carried forward into the clean-slate design of new networks that intrinsically support management, rather than treating it as a bolt-on afterthought. We seek original and thought provoking ideas, case studies, experimental results, position papers, and clean slate designs. Submissions concerning special-purpose networks, such as VoIP, content distribution, or mobile wireless, are welcomed. The workshop will provide a forum for exchange of experience, challenges, and work-in-progress discussions. Topics of interest include: * new abstractions for network configuration management; * new control plane architectures; * data plane mechanisms to support management; * autonomous network management systems with predictive/proactive behaviors; * ensuring stability and coherent behavior in distributed and/or autonomous systems; * management of backbone, access, enterprise and home networks and network-based applications; * techniques and experiments for evaluating network management architectures; * requirements for experimental platforms that support network management research; * comparisons between IP network management and ATM, SONET, or telephony management; * defining and enforcing network borders; * automatic and adaptive control of networks; * cross-layer interactions, including IP/Optical or Servers/IP; * hitless planned maintenance; and * fault and performance management. IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract Registration Deadline: 8 May 2006 at 11:59pm EDT - Hard deadline Paper Submission Deadline: 12 May 2006 at 11:59pm EDT - Hard deadline Notification of Acceptance: 9 June 2006 Camera Ready Deadline: 19 June 2006 Workshop Date: 11 Sept 2006 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Submissions should be no more than 6 pages long, two columns, and in PDF.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IFIP/IEEE MMNS 2006 - Extended Deadline - May 19th Datum: Thu, 4 May 2006 00:58:33 +0100 (IST) Von: Brendan Jennings <bjennings(a)tssg.org> Antwort an: bjennings(a)tssg.org An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies for any cross postings. The 9th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS 2006) CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------- Date: Oct 25-27th 2006 Place: Dublin, Ireland Extended Submission Deadline: May 19th Web: http://www.manweek2006.org/mmns/ The International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS) will hold its ninth annual meeting on October 25 through October 27, 2006, in Dublin, Ireland. A single-track conference, MMNS will provide participants with a high quality and intimate setting for discussion and debate. The conference is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). SCOPE OF MMNS 2006 MMNS has established itself as a premier conference for research and innovation in management of emerging multimedia technology and networked services. The scope of the conference has been expanded recently to include management of emerging mobile networks. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from industry and academia researching and developing state-of-the-art management and multimedia systems, while creating a public venue for results dissemination and intellectual collaboration. The demand for multimedia real-time services and mobile applications continues to grow rapidly, bringing forth enormous challenges in the management of their supporting networks. The need to evolve management tools and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobility and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, data/voice convergence and the integration of computing and communication in all devices. Concepts such as self organizing, self-healing adaptive networks and autonomic communications are bringing the academic and industry research communities together to address the challenges of managing complexity and systems problems, where management is inevitably key. In addition to the challenges provided by the requirements of multimedia services (e.g., delay/jitter bounds), mobility introduces yet another set of management challenges with highly dynamic (intermittently connected) network topology and resource constrained portable devices. The MMNS 2006 technical program committee is soliciting research papers in the broad area of network and service management and new models, architectures and designs in technology and services to enable multimedia and mobility proliferation. MMNS 2006 will continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, and will emphasize and solicit novel research in management of mobile networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Mobile multimedia network management - Management of wireless ad-hoc networks - Management of sensor and actuator networks - Network management models and architectures - Network measurement/monitoring for multimedia and mobile services - Multi-service over IP (voice, video and data over IP) network management - Grid networking for multimedia - Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks - Quality of service management in multimedia and mobile networks - Planning and optimisation of multimedia and mobile networks - IP Multimedia System (IMS) operations and management - Content distribution networking - Management implications of supporting new digital media - Distributed multimedia service management - Deployment of multimedia services - Performance evaluation of multimedia and mobile services - Novel protocols for multimedia services - Multi-point, multicast service management - Management of advanced audivisual services - Seamless mobility of multimedia services - Adaptive multimedia services - Creation and management of composed multimedia services - Pricing, Accounting and Billing for multimedia services - Security management for mobile and multimedia networks and services - Application of autonomic networking concepts to multimedia and mobile networks and services PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Algorithm and Protocol Design in Sensor Networks Datum: Wed, 3 May 2006 12:59:33 -0700 (PDT) Von: Lin Cai <cai(a)ECE.UVic.CA> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [ Our apologies for possible duplicates of this message ] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Call For papers International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNET) Special Issue on: "Energy-Efficient Algorithm and Protocol Design in Sensor Networks" http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=346 Sensor networks operate under a set of unique constraints and requirements, which spark numerous research interests in almost every layer of the network protocol stack. Sensor nodes are usually battery-powered and energy-constrained, so energy efficiency is of primary importance for the operational lifetime of a sensor network. Novel signal processing technologies, network architectures, protocols, algorithms and applications are needed to improve the energy efficiency and prolong the lifetime of sensor nodes and sensor networks. There are extensive efforts happening in energy-conscious network topology control, collaborative signal processing, media access control (MAC), variable topology multi-hop routing, flow and error control, and domain-specific application design. Novel cross-layer approaches have also been emerging to address the energy efficiency issue through a combined solution via efforts from different layers. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to keep a record of the state-of-the-art research in this fast moving area, and to promote further research interests and activities on energy-efficient algorithm and protocol design in sensor networks. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Network topology control * Collaborative signal processing * Optimal power control * Network reconfiguration architectures and protocols * Mobility management in mobile sensor networks * Energy aware task and resource allocation * Energy-conscious scheduling and media access control * Variable topology multi-hop routing * Flow and error control * Energy-aware transport protocol * Energy/efficiency/security tradeoffs * Cross-layer protocol design and development * Inter-connection between sensor networks and the Internet * Sensor networks testbeds, experiments, algorithms and measurements Important Dates Manuscript due: 1 July, 2006 Acceptance/rejection notification: 1 November, 2006 Final manuscript due: 31 December, 2006 Guest Editors: Dr. Lin Cai, University of Victoria, Canada Dr. Xuemin (Sherman) Shen, University of Waterloo, Canada All papers are refereed through a peer review process.

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).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE COM MAG CALL FOR PAPERS "QoS Routing" JUNE 1st Datum: Tue, 02 May 2006 20:02:38 +0200 Von: Abdelhamid Mellouk <mellouk(a)univ-paris12.fr> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear All, The deadline for this feature topic is fast approaching (june 1st) .. ************************************************************************************ Please note the following CFP: Deadline for Papers Submission is june 1st. Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine, http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/cfpcommag0207.htm Special Issue on "Quality of Service based Routing Algorithms for Heterogeneous Networks" Background Currently, due to the growing needs in telecommunications (VoD, Video-Conference, VoIP, etc.) and the diversity of transported flows, Internet network does not meet the requirements of future integrated-service networks, which will carry out multimedia data traffic with a high Quality of Service (QoS). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high quality control mechanism to check the network traffic load and ensure QoS requirements. It's clear that the integration of these QoS parameters will increase the complexity of the algorithms used in heterogeneous networks. Thus, there will be QoS relevant technological challenges in today emerging heterogeneous networks that include different types of networks (e.g., wired, wireless, mobile, etc.). We shall focus in this special topic on QoS routing policies, and their effectiveness on heterogeneous wired and wireless networks. Thus, in this special issue, we are seeking papers that explore routing algorithms which take into account the dynamic's change of communication networks and discuss their advantages and drawbacks when compared to traditional solutions. Compared to the previous special issues on the integration of QoS, this issue will focus on a tutorial-based approach, and on the evolution of routing decisions applied in heterogeneous networks, which may include the load level traffic patterns and topology of the network changes, that the routing policy adapts the decision's router. Scope of Contributions Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance on all aspects of QoS routing policies and related areas with concrete experimental studies to show the validity of their approach. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but are not limited to : - Dynamic state-dependent routing policies - Quality of Service policies versus Best effort policies - Routing in hybrid Networks - Dynamic Routing in inband or outband network control protocols - Traffic shaping in QoS Routing - Policy-Based Management in QoS Routing - Ad hoc networking routing solutions for heterogenous wired and wireless networks - The role of dynamic routing in irregular traffic networks - QoS based routing and data gathering protocols for wireless sensor networks Submission Instructions 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. Manuscripts should be submitted through Manuscript Central at http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/.
