-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd IEEE Workshop on advanced EXPerimental activities ON WIRELESS networks & systems --- EXPONWIRELESS 2008 Datum: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 08:55:33 -0600 Von: Yonghe Liu <yonghe(a)cse.uta.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 3rd IEEE Workshop on advanced EXPerimental activities ON WIRELESS networks & systems --- EXPONWIRELESS 2008 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/EXPONWIRELESS08 23 June, Newport Beach, CA, USA in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2008 (http://wowmom08.ics.uci.edu/) CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- Wireless networks represent a challenging and ever growing research area. In these systems the interactions among the different network layers are very complex and their effects on the overall performance are not easy to accurately identify. Additionally, many simplifying assumptions considered in analytical studies do not hold in practise. Experimental activities involving the development of systems and device prototypes and the collection and analysis of measurements from actual networks can provide insight on the behaviour of such systems in realistic environments, which can be beneficial for understanding how cross-layer interactions impact in practise the overall performance, for deriving realistic simulation models, for analyzing particular phenomena and evaluating algorithms and protocols, and for exploring the design choices in building actual wireless networks. Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the evolution of these networks. After successful events in the last years, EXPONWIRELESS 2008 aims to again bring together all the aspects related to experimental activities on wireless networks, creating a forum where researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, current requirements, and future visions, that are important for the development of new protocols, algorithms, devices and systems. High quality papers discussing original and innovative experimental activities on wireless networks are solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop are (but are not limited to): * Algorithms for self-configuration and self-management of beyond-3G systems * Deployment and experience with multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks * Device prototypes for wireless BANs, PANs, LANs, and MANs * Differentiated services in wireless multimedia networks * Energy-efficient protocols and power management algorithms * Experiences/lessons from recent wireless testbed deployments * Handoff and mobility management in beyond-3G systems * Location-aware services * Middleware platforms for wireless/mobile environments * Mobility models of wireless/mobile networks and systems * Positioning and tracking technologies * Power control and channel assignment * Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems * QoS for real-time voice/video in wireless networks * Seamless internetworking and architectures for beyond 3G systems * Systems and methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in wireless networks * Security and privacy issues in wireless networks * Wireless/Mobile applications and services (e.g., vehicular networks, underwater networks, opportunistic networks, etc.) PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Submitted manuscripts should adhere to the IEEE double-column standard format with 10pt font size for texts. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica, or equivalent. The maximum length of the manuscript is 5 pages. This limit includes figures, appendix, bibliography, etc. Papers significantly exceeding this limit will be automatically rejected. All papers must be submitted in PDF format using the ISAS Conference Manager http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/EXPONWIRELESS08/ISAS/ . Any question can be submitted to exponwireless08(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2008 workshop proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- - Submission Deadline: January 28, 2008 - Acceptance Notification: March 08, 2008 - Camera-ready Papers Due: April 4, 2008 WORKSHOP CO-ORGANIZERS ---------------------- Ling-Jyh Chen, Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Rosario G.

** IFIP ENTERTAINMENT COMPUTING NEWS SERVICE ** http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec ** Send all news to: icec(a)listserver.tue.nl **************************************************** ** NOTE: Please reply to article's originator, ** not this IFIP EC News Service **************************************************** REMINDER DEADLINE, JANUARY 1, 2008 Dear Colleagues, If you are interested to contribute, please let me know and I will send you the extended CfP. Call for Papers symposium issue of Simulation & Gaming: An International Journal of Theory, Practice, and Research Theme: Emergent characteristics of global gaming networks Guest Editor Jan H.G. Klabbers, jklabbers AT kmpc.nl Following the Symposium issues “State of the Art and Science of Simulation/Gaming”, Volume 32, Number 4, December 2001, “Simulation and Gaming: The art & science of design”, Volume 34, Number 4, December 2003, and “Artifact assessment versus theory testing”, Volume 37, Number 2, June 2006, I am preparing a special issue of the Journal Simulation & Gaming on “Emergent characteristics of global gaming networks.” Current gaming associations such as, ISAGA, NASAGA, SAGSET, ABSEL, JASAG, SAGSAGA, DiGRA, SAGANET, IGDA, and SSAGSG provide a home base for scholars and practitioners from a great variety of disciplines, having distinct perspectives of and interests in gaming. They form nodes in the global gaming networks. Moreover, game design is a science, an art, and a craft, tapping off distinct abilities and motivations. Those involved speak different languages, and as a consequence the terminology used provokes ambiguity, confusion and often misunderstanding among “the communities of gamers”. Thus, covering more than forty years of research and practice, it is worthwhile to review the field from those various perspectives, to wrap up achievements and lessons learned, and to offer a vision of the near future. On the one hand the study of games relates to their design qualities, on the other hand to their context of use and their social and cultural impact. The aim of this special issue is to reflect on and review the gaming landscape from the perspective of the associations mentioned above, and to address emerging characteristics. Can we speak of a common inheritance, a common future, and common achievements? Which goals do these gaming associations and membership pursue? What are/were the main issues to be addressed? What topics are being discussed at the various discussion forums? Which challenges and puzzles need further attention to advance the field? Authors should survey the field of gaming and simulation, review current qualities of the different gaming networks, covering the whole spectrum from face-to-face role- play to computer games and simulations, and games for learning to digital games for entertainment. They are invited to pay attention to (terminological) questions to enhance communication among fellow gamers. That presumes that the authors will exceed the level of purely instrumental reasoning, prevalent in the supporting disciplines, and offer a coherent and recognizable frame-of-reference. My intention is to engage in a constructive dialogue with the authors so that the final product will reflect the highest standards for work in the gaming and simulation tradition. Please send a one- to two-page outline containing the following items: • A working title. • Your name(s), address, phone, e-mail, etc. • An abstract, with a set of objectives and an outline for the proposed paper. • A working plan and time schedule. • Possibly one or two off-prints of previous papers that might be relevant. The outline should not exceed 750 words, including the paper’s title, full name(s) of author(s), and should be emailed to Jan Klabbers by January 1, 2008 at jklabbers(a)kmpc.nl preferably as a Microsoft Word document email attachment.
