Apologies if you receive the posting multiple times. --Mahbub ----Start of CFP---- Call For Papers Feature Topic on Wireless Mesh Networks IEEE Communications Magazine http://www.comsoc.org/dl/commag/cfpcommag307.htm Next generation communication networks are facing the challenge of providing adaptive, flexible, and reconfigurable architectures capable of catering to the dynamics of the network, while providing cost effective solutions for service providers. Wireless mesh networking (WMN) has emerged as a promising concept to meet such challenges of next generation networking. In WMN, no cabling is needed to connect the routers together. All routers self-organise and auto-configure themselves wirelessly, and form a rich radio mesh connectivity among themselves that is difficult to provision in wired networks. While wireless router connectivity significantly reduces the up-front deployment and subsequent maintenance costs, the rich mesh connectivity helps delivering high level of reliability and robustness. Due to these attractive features, WMN is being considered for a wide variety of application scenarios such as backhaul connectivity for cellular radio access networks, high-speed metropolitan area mobile networks, community networking, building automation, intelligent transport system networks, defence systems, and city-wide surveillance systems. Despite significant advances in the last few years, many challenging research issues, such as sharp drop in available throughput as the number of wireless hop increases, remains to be resolved. Industry, academia, and standard bodies are all actively working together on bringing this technology to its maturity. The aim of this Feature Topic is to feature the recent advances in theory and application of wireless mesh network. Articles from both academia and industry are solicited. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Throughput enhancing techniques for paths with many wireless hops - Latency reduction techniques - Multipath routing in wireless mesh networks - Advanced antenna technologies - Manageability and interoperability issues - Self organization and network configuration - Test-bed design, experimental results, implementation and prototypes - Novel application and deployment scenarios - Standardisation activities (e.g. IEEE 802.11s) - Security architectures and protocols for wireless mesh networks - Mobile mesh networks Important Dates Manuscripts Due: August 01, 2006 Acceptance Notification: November 01, 2006 Final Revised Manuscripts Due: January 01, 2007 Publication Date: March, 2007 Submission Guidelines Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: Multimedia System Journal -- Special Issue on: Collaborative Haptic Audio Visual Environments and Systems Datum: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 03:21:05 -0400 Von: A. El Saddik <abed(a)mcrlab.uottawa.ca> An: Abdulmotaleb El Saddik <abed(a)mcrlab.uottawa.ca> Our apologies if you have received multiple copies -------------------------------------------------- Multimedia System Journal (published by the Springer Verlag, and sponsored by the ACM SIGMM) Special Issue on: Collaborative Haptic Audio Visual Environments and Systems Multimedia and Information technology are reaching limits in terms of what can be done in multimedia applications with only sight and sound. The next critical step is to bring the sense of “touch” over network connections, which is commonly known as Tele-haptics. Haptics, a term which was derived from the Greek verb “haptesthai” meaning “to touch”, introduces the sense of touch and force into the human-computer interaction. Virtual Environments (VE) are usually referred to as computer generated 3D worlds wherein users can interact through various human-computer interfaces and experience the so called “virtual world”. Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE) are VEs that, in addition to the virtual experience, provide the ability for users to collaborate, such as co-manipulation of shared objects and tele-mentoring. A special case of a CVE is the collaborative haptic virtual environment (C-HAVE) where, in addition to traditional multimedia such as image, audio, and video, this new haptic media plays an important role. C-HAVEs allow multiple users, each with his/her haptic device, to collaboratively manipulate shared objects in a virtual environment. The potential of such technology is quite significant for many applications such as tele-presence, tele-learning, tele-medicine, tele-operation in hazardous environments, industrial design and testing, gaming, and interactive virtual reality. This particular special issue will target articles related to the directions and advances made on the scientific, engineering, and commercial fronts for C-HAVEs. Some potential topics relative to this special issue include: * Perception of Haptic systems * Architecture of C-HAVE systems * Haptic-based input/output methods and user-environment interactions * Cross-disciplinary collaborative Haptic applications * Medical C-HAVEs, such as tele-surgery training or tele-medicine * Tele-operation of robots/vehicles in C-HAVEs * Issues in the design of cross-cultural collaborative virtual environments * Haptic as a new media for Internet Gaming Submission Details: (per e-mail to: abed(a)mcrlab.uottawa.ca) Authors should submit original contributions, that have not been published at or submitted to other conferences or journals, in electronic format (PDF) to the editor of the special issue Abdulmotaleb El Saddik (abed(a)mcrlab.uottawa.ca).

Infrastructureless networks include both wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks as important classes. Dependability issues such as reliability, availability, quality of service and security are made more challenging by the wireless and infrastructureless environment. Reliability and availability challenges include the varying characteristics of a wireless channel, which is subject to interference, fading, and multipath effects. General quality of service mechanisms become even more important due to bandwidth and other resource limitations. Challanges such as dealing with partitioned operation have led to new research areas such as delay-tolerant networking. The presence of mobile nodes in many of these settings complicates further the dependability issues. Clearly, these dependability challenges must be met before the full promise of ad hoc and sensor networks can be realized. GOAL AND TOPICS The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers to focus exclusively on the important topic of dependability issues in ad hoc and sensor networks, to outline its specific and unique research challenges, and to identify some of the most promising candidate solution methods and techniques to address those challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Adaptive network protocols - Distributed algorithms for dependability - Network lifetime modeling and evaluation - Impact of mobility on dependability - Dependability case studies - QoS adaptation - Fault-tolerant and/or secure routing - Dependability techniques for resource constrained environments - Space-time routing - Network-level techniques for mitigating unreliable wireless links - Countering denial of service and energy-draining attacks - Dependable and secure services - Coverage and connectivity problems - Security against physical attacks - Data availability and consistency - Error-tolerant data aggregation in sensor networks - Handling network partitions - Delay-tolerant networking - Mobility-assisted routing SUBMISSIONS Papers should be written in English, must conform to the proceedings publication format (ACM Conference Style) and should not exceed eight pages, including text, references, figures and appendices. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. The paper must be submitted electronically in .pdf format through the EDAS submission system.

The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks.

Apology if you have received multiple copies. ******************************************************************* Call for Papers – Special Issue on Foundations of Peer-to-Peer Computing: Elsevier Journal of Computer Communications • Submission Deadline: October 7, 2006 Website: http://www.cs.kent.edu/~editor/jcompcomm06-p2p/ Guest Editors: Javed I. Khan & Adam Wierzbicki ________________________________________ Peer-to-peer computing has quite conspicuously emerged as one of the most innovation rich areas in computer networking. P2P has emerged out of user community but it is increasingly finding its base on rich foundation of computing. Various aspects of peer-to-peer systems are now being modeled, formalized, and even engineered based on distributed hashing, complex search models, self-organization, complex networking, and graph theories. The objective of this special issue of the Journal of Computer & Communication is to highlight recent innovative research results which will strengthen the formal foundation of this area. ________________________________________ The special issue invites papers from diverse P2P community ranging from practitioners, system builders, networking researchers, computing engineers, as well as social scientists. Authors from these divergent communities are encouraged to submit high-quality and original works. The review process of this special issue will be respectful to the difference in the scientific methodologies used by the communities. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to the following: P2P systems, practice & performance • Case study architectures • Performance analysis of existing systems • Distributed hashing, routing, advanced & special search • Self-organization neighborhood optimization • Fault tolerance, stability, churning • Privacy and security P2P overlay networks • Publish/subscribe & event routing overlays • Multicast optimization • Multimedia and streaming overlays Social engineering • Reputation and trust functions. • Social engineering • Virtual communities on P2P: socials study • Study of P2P virtual networks Applications • File sharing, distributed storage/caching, backup storage. • News feed • P2P games, online auction. • Multimedia streaming, distribution. • Anonymous systems ________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES • Submission: October 7, 2006 • Acceptance decision: January 6, 2007 • Final paper due: March 6, 2007 • Publication date: Spring 2007 ________________________________________ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are request to submit the manuscript electronically by using online manuscript submission.
