-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: WoWMoM Industrial Track Datum: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:16:48 -0800 (PST) Von: Qi Han <qh1c4(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: jain(a)ics.uci.edu, mkumar(a)uta.edu, fanjum(a)qualcomm.com, qhan(a)mines.edu 9th IEEE International Symposium on A WORLD of WIRELESS, MOBILE, and MULTIMEDIA NETWORKS IEEE WoWMoM 2008 June 23-27, 2008 Newport Beach/Irvine, California, USA http://www.ieee-wowmom.org/ CALL FOR PAPERS: "INDUSTIAL TRACK" Important dates * Paper submission deadline: February 11, 2008 * Acceptance notification: March 17, 2008 * Camera-ready deadline: April 04, 2008 As part of an expanded involvement of industry researchers and professionals, IEEE WoWMoM 2008 (http://www.ieee-wowmom.org/) is soliciting original and previously unpublished research papers for a one-day Industry Session. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Mobility and handover aspects * Security for mobile multimedia * (evolved) MBMS and security * Standards enhacements and upcoming technologies (3GPP/2, IEEE, IETF) * Middleware support for mobile multimedia * Mobile content distribution and authorization * Presence-awareness and multimedia signaling in provider networks * Service creation and provisioning for mobile applications * Broadcast/Multicast based applications and architectures * Power control and energy-efficient systems for pervasive communication * RFID/sensor applications in enterprise and provider networks * Innovative methods for charging/billing * Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) systems * Network simulation and validation tools The Industry Session track is intended to specially highlight system experiences and proofs-of-concept in the areas of wireless communication and multimedia applications. Like regular papers, the "industry session" papers will undergo a review process by an international TPC and will appear in the conference proceedings. However, the selection criteria for "industry session" papers are slightly different. In particular, papers should describe applications, prototypes or experiences of clear industry relevance. Papers with narrow algorithmic focus or only high-level design details are discouraged. A key goal of these sessions is to present systems-oriented research that exposes the academic and research communities to "real-life" issues and problems being faced in industry. Accordingly, papers will be evaluated, less on the novelty of specific algorithmic content, but by the originality and general applicability of insights that can be inferred from the authors' implementation experience. Papers must be submitted in PDF format via the Easy Chair Website: http://www.easychair.org/wowmom08/. Papers should be double-column, 10pt IEEE format and no longer than 8 pages.

[Tccc] CfP - IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Network Management (ACNM'08)
by Stefan Schmid 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Network Management (ACNM 2008) April 11, 2008 - Salvador, Brazil http://www.netlab.nec.de/acnm08/ In conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2008) The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss new theories, mechanisms and applications of Autonomic Communication - a new paradigm for forthcoming networks in the fixed as well as the mobile world. The focus of ACNM is on intelligent communication, network control and management paradigms based on smart network and service elements that are capable to automatically configure and organize themselves. Autonomic networks will be able to sense their environment to perceive these changes, to understand the meaning of these changes, and to react in an intelligent manner through adaptation. This facilitates new ways to perform network control, management, service creation, etc. Autonomic networking naturally also applies to mission critical distributed systems, since autonomic behavior allows for immediate reaction to changes in the networking environment or context, and correction of any (predicted) problems. Such behavior also facilitates fault-tolerance and resilience. ACNM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange their research ideas and findings. The workshop will be held in conjunction with NOMS'08, which draws many leading researchers in the field of Network and Systems Management. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the EU IST Project ANA. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following (the full CFP can be found at http://www.netlab.nec.de/acnm08/): *** TOPICS *** - Autonomic network architectures and principles - Paradigms, tools and techniques autonomic communication systems - Control and management in dynamic/mobile network environments - Self-management of communication systems and networks (e.g., based on peer-to-peer principles) - Policy control for autonomic networks & systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for autonomic networks - Advances in and application of control theory - Self-co-operating peer-to-peer networks - Self-organizing network elements, and administrative domains - Self-* technologies - Fault-tolerance and resilience - Cognitive networking - Plug and play networking components - Knowledge based network control - Bio-inspired networks and systems - Experiences with self-* solutions - Application of autonomic management to mobile and wireless networking including 3GPP evolved UTRAN, SAE networks, etc. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** - Submission deadline: January 11th, 2008 - Notification of acceptance: February 22nd, 2008 - Camera ready version: March 21st, 2008 *** PAPER SUBMISSION *** Papers must be original material, not currently be under review, and not have been previously published by another conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP WiMAN 2008 Datum: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 10:46:09 +0100 Von: Frank Reichenbach <frank.reichenbach(a)uni-rostock.de> An: multicomm(a)comsoc.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Second IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN'08) Beijing, China, June 20, 2008 in conjunction with ICDCS 2008 http://www.cs.iusb.edu/~liqzhang/WiMAN2008/index.htm Submission Deadline: December 7, 2007 **************************************************************************************** Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: Multi-radio and �multi-channel wireless mesh networking Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols Quality of Services provisioning Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks Network deployment, localization, and synchronization Topology construction and maintenance Modeling and performance evaluations Cross layer optimizations Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks Vehicular mesh and ad hoc networks Wireless sensor networks Self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems Important Dates --------------- Paper submission due: December 7, 2007 Acceptance notification: February 11, 2008 Camera-ready due: March 9, 2008 Workshop: June 20, 2008 Submissions and Publications ---------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

Such networks exhibit specific communication requirements between individual nodes, and between nodes and central access points that provide connectivity with the outside world. Many, if not most of these nodes are integrated into everyday devices; they will be found inside cars, at home, and in the shopping mall. The application areas based on such networks are varied and numerous, including, for example, intelligent homes, car safety, and item tracking. Many such applications will become part of our lives, and are prone to collect information that would be considered as private by many. For the average user, it will be next to impossible to establish who has access to these information, and for which purposes. This unprecedented penetration of virtually everyone's life suggests the need for a close scrutiny of the various processes to be associated with the development of such a technology and its subsequent wide deployment. International standardisation of information and communication technologies (ICT) is among the most important of these processes. It is linked to both the technological development and the policy and legal frameworks within which the technology is to be developed and deployed. Accordingly, this Workshop aims to discuss the development of adequate standards setting processes for the Internet of Things. The analysis of the current situation in ICT standards setting, the current legal situation with respect to the role of standards, and the development of recommendations on how to adapt the processes to adequately serve the environment created by the IoT will be addressed through insights from various disciplines. Organizers: Kai Jakobs, RWTH Aachen Robin Williams, Univ. of Edinburgh Workshop homepage: http://www.prosit-ws.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- WS2: Sketchtools - Creative Tools for Prototyping Smart Devices As an "Internet of Things" becomes a reality and everyday objects become enabled with information processing capabilities, we must carefully and considerately design the interaction between humans and these (not quite completely, but increasingly) ubiquitous digital devices. Designers should always have access to tools that allow them to prototype and/or sketch the product, object, system, or experience that they are responsible for. The design process is heavily dependent on cycles of prototype and revision - software developers go through numerous iterative cycles of production and updates to refine a product; industrial designers create sketch models out of foam, wood, fabric, etc. to model interaction; engineers use scale sketch models as proofs of concept or to explore new ideas. However, prototyping ubiquitous computing devices is a difficult task. The broad range of technologies involved - wireless communications, RFID, sensors, localization devices, networking, processors, etc. - makes it difficult to have all of the expertise necessary to sketch human/digital interaction. Physical computing toolkits provide a way for designers to experiment with how the physical actions of the user translate into the digital response of the system, and vice versa. It is that translation that defines the interaction between the user and the digital object; the interaction between the human and the internet of things. The workshop aims at gathering a group of people invested in the physical computing field to discuss ideas, methods, challenges, innovations, and potentials of physical computing toolkits. Organizers: Matt Cottam, Tellart Jasper Speicher, Tellart Katie Wray, Tellart Workshop homepage: http://sketchtools.com/iot08/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- WS3: 1st International Workshop on Interoperable Vehicles (IOV 2008) Since a couple of years, some initial telematics services that inform the driver about current road and traffic conditions are already in the market. With new wireless communication capabilities available like WLAN, WiMAX or UMTS, many additional services become feasible. Therefore, one of the major automotive trends is keeping both the vehicle and the driver seamlessly connected with their environment, providing high-quality traffic related information, increasing active safety and offering passengers high-bandwidth internet connectivity. On the one hand, the vehicles require information from the environment in order to optimally support the driver. On the other hand, the local knowledge of vehicles which is based on a variety of on-board sensor systems can also contribute to support other (not necessarily automotive) services. Enabling new opportunities of interaction between vehicles, passengers, (mobile) devices and services, there are a couple of topics that have to be thought of e.g. novel applications, network management and scalability, security and privacy, market introduction and roll-out strategies.

While ubiquitous and wireless technologies are developed to enable new ways of working, to increase safety and to facilitate coordination, they may interfere with established work practices, undermine productivity and individuals satisfaction, and have an unforeseen impact on relations of power and control. These issues, however, are rarely addressed in development and research projects for the Internet of Things and in the public discourses surrounding it. This workshop has the goal to increase awareness of organizational issues of the Internet of Things and to provide a forum for discussion of design approaches to manage critical organisational issues. Furthermore we would like to build a bridge between the various research communities exploring organizational, social and cultural aspects of the Internet of Things and ubiquitous computing. We welcome contributions from practitioners, technologists, designers and social scientists in organizational studies, science and technology studies, anthropology and human computer interaction.

One of the goals of AIMS is to look beyond borders and to stimulate the exchange of ideas across different communities and among PhD students. AIMS 2008 focuses on resilient networks and services and in particular on novel technologies that can provide resilience in a scalable, economic, secure, and autonomic way. To achieve resilience, new techniques such as autonomic and fully distributed algorithms, virtualization techniques, or self-organizing overlays must be explored. Modeling, analysis, and visualization is essential in order to understand the emerging overall system behavior. * Conference Topics Authors are invited to submit unpublished papers that are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, or related topic areas: Scalable and autonomic infrastructures - Autonomic network and service management - Dynamic overlays and P2P-based management systems - Fully decentralized and distributed approaches Economic management - Economic aspects of IT infrastructures - Distributed accounting and monitoring - Reputation and incentive mechanisms Security and trust management - Inter-domain trust management and security concepts - Resilience and reliability of network and service infrastructures - Defense against distributed attacks and botnets - Management and evaluation of security services Virtualization - Virtualization of resources and services - Management of virtual network laboratories (e.g. GENI, PlanetLab) - Economics of network and service virtualization - Management of Grid resources and virtual organizations Modeling and visualization - Modeling of management technologies and procedures - Modeling and analysis of policies and promises - Visualization of management data and systems behavior * Conference Paper Submission Authors are invited to submit original contributions (written in English) in PDF format. Only original, full papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted to the AIMS 2008 paper track. Each submission will be limited to 12 pages in the LNCS paper format. Papers exceeding 12 pages, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. Paper submission is handled by the JEMS system, accessible from the AIMS 2008 Web page. Submissions to the conference are expected to report substantial research results relevant for the subjects listed above. * PhD Workshop Submission The PhD workshop provides PhD students the opportunity to present, discuss, and obtain feedback from the AIMS 2008 audience about their research work. PhD students are invited to submit short papers (4 pages, written in English and in PDF format) describing the current state of their research. The paper should include a clear description of the research problem and the chosen approach, argue why the problem is hard and the approach novel, and it should outline the results achieved to date. Specific, low-level technical details should be avoided. Papers should have no more than two authors--the student and the advisor. Accepted submissions will be published in the AIMS proceedings. * Best Paper Award The program committee will select one paper for the Best Paper Award (all regular papers are eligible). The winner will be presented at the conference. * Location Jacobs University Bremen is a highly selective, private institution for the advancement of education and research. The green campus located in the city of Bremen has ideal meeting facilities and can host a large number of people during the summer on campus. * Deadlines 10 Feb 2008 Conference paper submission deadline 10 Feb 2008 PhD workshop paper submission deadline 06 Apr 2008 Notification about paper acceptance 06 Apr 2008 Notification of PhD workshop paper acceptance 20 Apr 2008 Camera ready paper copies due 01 Jul 2008 AIMS 2008 conference * Organization General Chair: - Juergen Schoenwaelder, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany Technical Program Chairs: - David Hausheer, University of Zurich, Switzerland - Juergen Schoenwaelder, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany PhD Workshop Chairs: - Lisandro Zambenedetti Granville, UFRGS, Brazil - Aiko Pras, University of Twente, Netherlands Tutorials and Keynotes: - Arosha Bandara, Imperial College London, UK * Steering Committee - Arosha Bandara, Imperial College London, UK - Mark Burgess, HIO, Norway - Olivier Festor, INRIA, France - David Hausheer, University of Zurich, Switzerland - Aiko Pras, University of Twente, Netherlands - Juergen Schoenwaelder, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany - Rolf Stadler, KTH, Sweden * Technical Program Committee - Panayotis Antoniadis, University of Pierre and Marie Curie Paris, France - Arosha Bandara, Imperial College London, UK - Jan Bergstra, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands - Mark Burgess, Oslo University College, Norway - Georg Carle, Univeristy of Tuebingen, Germany - Isabelle Chrisment, Nancy University, France - Alva Couch, Tufts University, USA - Costas A.
