[Fwd: [Cost290] CFP - 1st IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2006)]
by Lars Wolf 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] CFP - 1st IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2006) Datum: Fri, 04 Aug 2006 17:09:56 +0200 Von: David Hausheer <hausheer(a)ifi.unizh.ch> An: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi Apologies for possibly receiving multiple copies of this CFP. Call for Papers 1st IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2006) http://www.csg.unizh.ch/events/bod06/ In conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2006 http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2006/ November 27, 2006 San Francisco, California, USA Scope Electronic marketplaces for trading bandwidth have emerged since the late 1990’s, but were seriously hit by the economic downturn in 2001. The promise of instant bandwidth availability had led to the development of market mechanisms that companies used to trade bandwidth just as other commodities. However, those trading markets all but disappeared with the bursting of the telecom bubble. Driven by the recent technical advances in telecommunications and the new potentials of emerging peer-to-peer (P2P) and next generation networks (NGN), the goal of this workshop is to take a fresh and innovative look at the concept of bandwidth on demand (BOD). Recent advances in the Internet-based communications domain, in which the support of Quality-of-Service and diverse application services become possible, require in many cases short-termed bandwidth assignments for, e.g., large sporting events or cultural open air activities. In addition, the support of bandwidth trading in a fully decentralized and secured manner, e.g., based on P2P schemes, shows further advantages in terms of reliability and scalability for large-scale systems. Topics of Interest The workshop seeks original papers in the following four areas that serve as basis for bandwidth on demand: * Economic studies and modeling of market and business models in carrier and service provider networks o Game theoretical bandwidth-on-demand models o Cost and revenue models o Bandwidth-on-demand business models o Market liquidity aspects * Technical design of scalable, reliable, and cost-effective bandwidth trading infrastructures, including market mechanisms as a way to increase efficiencies o Scalable market mechanisms o Secure and reliable market infrastructures o Bandwidth trading mechanisms o IP-based and decentralized trading mechanisms o P2P trading infrastructures, distributed markets o P2P auctions * Legislative and regulatory issues related to the Telecom Act and in comparison to other commodities markets such as the electric grid o Telecom legislation o Telecom regulation o Commodities markets * Industrial developments of new technologies that facilitate or create impediments to bandwidth on demand o Network management aspects o Technical improvements in transport and data networks Paper Submissions Papers are solicited as full papers (in English), of no more than 8 single-spaced pages, each of which will be subject to a full review process. Submissions must be in PDF and will be handled using the JEMS system. Please refer to http://www.csg.unizh.ch/events/bod06/ for further submission instructions or contact bod06(a)ifi.unizh.ch for additional information. Those papers accepted will be published in proceedings with an ISBN number. Important Dates * Submission deadline: August 31, 2006 * Notification of acceptance: October 15, 2006 * Final versions of papers due: October 31, 2006 * Workshop date: November 27, 2006 Committees General Co-chairs * Takeo Hamada, Fujitsu Laboratories of America, USA * Burkhard Stiller, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland PC Co-chairs * Richard Rabbat, Fujitsu Laboratories of America, USA * David Hausheer, University of Zurich, Switzerland Technical Program Committee * Panayotis Antoniadis, LIP6, France * Greg Bernstein, Grotto Networking, USA * Georg Carle, University of Tübingen, Germany * Costas Courcoubetis, AUEB, Greece * György Dán, KTH, Sweden * Vasilios Darlagiannis, EPFL, Switzerland * Zoran Despotovic, DoCoMo Euro-Labs München, Germany * Oliver Heckmann, TU Darmstadt, Germany * Rahul Jain, UC Berkeley, USA * Dave Marples, Telcordia, USA * Huw Oliver, Bristol, Research Consultant, UK * Lyndon Ong, Ciena, USA * Aiko Pras, University of Twente, The Netherlands * Giancarlo Ruffo, University of Torino, Italy * Vik Saxena, Comcast, USA * Kohei Shiomoto, NTT Labs, Japan * to be extended _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290

4th Workshop on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (WMAN 2007) in conjunction with the 15th bi-annual Conference on Communication in Distributed Systems (KiVS) (German: ITG/GI - Fachtagung "Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen (KiVS)") February 26 - March 02, 2007, Bern, Switzerland http://kivs07.unibe.ch/ URL: http://wman2007.cs.bonn.edu/ General information: Welcome to the Workshop on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks! Based on the success of the preceding WMAN workshops of 2005, 2004 and 2002, the workshop will also be held in 2007. For the upcoming workshop, we are very happy to introduce WMAN 2007 as an event moved to an international scenery (taking place in Bern, Switzerland) and being hosted in the context of the 15th ITG/GI conference on communication in distributed systems (German: ITG/GI - Fachtagung "Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen") - see http://kivs07.unibe.ch/ Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks today are among the most active research topics in the area of mobile and wireless communication. Technical issues having sound solutions in the area of fixed networks might not be applicable to ad hoc networks. Thus, new solutions have to be found or existing ones have to be adapted to their use in ad-hoc networks. Although, the area of addressing and routing has been discussed for some time, several new solutions are being proposed. However, the issue of security in ad hoc networks is among the younger topics. Workshop paper topics include, but are not limited to: * Base technologies and applicability in ad-hoc networks (e.g. IEEE 802.11q/WAVE, ZigBee, ...) * Routing in ad-hoc networks * Quality-of-Service (QoS) * Automatic address configuration, access to the Internet * Security, privacy and encryption * Energy management * Localisation in ad-hoc networks * Applications and application architectures (e.g. P2P) * Software platforms/frameworks (Middleware) for mobile ad-hoc applications * Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) * Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) * Ad-hoc networks in Ubiquitous Computing Systems * Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) * Operation and managment of ad-hoc networks * Methodologies, models, and tools for analysis in ad-hoc network design * Scalability and simulation * Architectures and protocols for large ad-hoc networks * Experiences with ad-hoc networks in "real life" Addressees of the workshop: Goal of the WMAN workshop is to enable an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers on an international level - under the umbrella of research topics on wireless mobile ad-hoc networks. We encourage you to submit original papers describing research results or practical solutions, as well as ongoing work or challenging new research issues in the area of ad-hoc networks.
