Ad hoc wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity with complete lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The last few years have witnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad hoc and sensor networks that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. Such networks can be randomly and rapidly deployed and reconfigured and easily tailored to specific applications including entertainment, civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance due to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication. Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop to multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several challenges face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous deployment of ad hoc and sensor networks. These include variable topology, device heterogeneity, limited power supply and the lack of effective energy-efficient design, lack of QoS and application support, etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [New Deadline] CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature Topic on QoS Control in Next Generation Networks Datum: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 09:52:22 -0600 Von: Widjaja, Indra (Indra) <iwidjaja(a)research.bell-labs.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <9F1D84BDF02A2B41B030921EB09086184E9426(a)ILEXC1U01.ndc.lucent.com> <9F1D84BDF02A2B41B030921EB0908618C48EEE(a)ILEXC1U01.ndc.lucent.com> [Our apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] [Due to various requests, the submission deadline has been extended to Mar 8, 2007] ------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on QoS Control in Next Generation Networks http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/cfpcommag0907a.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------- In next generation networks, the service plane and the transport plane will be decoupled and independent. This is clearly evident from various emerging standards such as 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem, 3GPP2 Multi-Media Domain, ITU-T Next Generation Network, ETSI TISPAN, Packet Cable Multimedia Architecture and Multi Service Forum. All of these architectures have the following in common: (1) the service plane that transfers service information (e.g., SIP, HTTP) and manages service resources to enable advanced user services (e.g., IPTV, push-to-talk), and (2) the transport plane that delivers end-to-end user packets and manages transport resources. This architectural approach enables the service plane and the transport plane to be developed independently, and provides support for different access technologies based on fixed (twisted copper cable, coaxial cable, fiber) and wireless media. A critical component in these architectures is a logical entity that has a northbound interface to the service plane and southbound interface to the transport plane to provide the linkage between the two planes. This entity has been called by different functional names including policy server, policy decision function (PDF), policy and charging rules function (PCRF), resource and admission control function (RACF) and bandwidth manager. Although the entity also performs functions such as charging control and security control, this Feature Topic will only focus on QoS-related functions such as admission control, QoS mapping from service plane (e.g., SDP) to transport plane (e.g., DSCP marking, policing parameters, etc.), resource monitoring and resource reservation, and gate control. While the standards development organizations have been working on the protocol specifications, much work is needed in the design and performance aspects of this entity in order to provide end-to-end QoS services in a scalable manner. For example, it is of interest to have concrete designs to handle scenarios where end-to-end user packets traverse multiple domains, each of which is managed by its own PDF. Papers that are tutorial in nature are strongly recommended. Suggested areas include (but are not limited to) the following subject categories: * Overview and comparison of PDF functions in relevant standards such as ITU-NGN, ETSI TISPAN, 3GPP/3GPP2 and Packet Cable * Test beds, lab/field trials, and lessons learned from early deployment * Issues in overall QoS architectures with decoupled service and transport planes * QoS support at the service control function (IMS and non-IMS) or at the policy enforcement function * Multidomain admission control and end-to-end performance * Transport plane performance monitoring such as TRC-FE in ITU-NGN * Policy rules and policy decisions * Authorization, reservation and commitment of network resources in pull and push models * QoS mapping from service plane to transport plane * Algorithms for optimizing transport resources, service provisioning performance or other performance enhancement Schedule: Full manuscript due: March 8, 2007 (new deadline) Acceptance notification: May 15, 2007 Final manuscript due: July 1, 2007 Publication date: September 2007 Submission: Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Workshop on Systems and Networking Support for Healthcare and Assisted Living Environments Datum: Thu, 01 Mar 2007 10:55:42 +0100 Von: Gaia Maselli <maselli(a)di.uniroma1.it> Antwort an: maselli(a)di.uniroma1.it An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers HealthNet 2007 The 1st International Workshop on Systems and Networking Support for Healthcare and Assisted Living Environments In conjunction with MobiSys 2007 June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA http://healthnet07.cs.uiuc.edu Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------ WORKSHOP SCOPE: ================ As the world's population grows older, healthcare and high-tech companies are joining forces. New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the users needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Enabling technologies * Service and device discovery * Security and privacy * Reliability and fault tolerance * User and device localization * Resource management architecture * User data management * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Mobility and connectivity management * Cross-layer system architecture design * Human-centered Computing * Task and behavior analysis * Impact of user interface design on system design and management * Test-beds and simulations environments IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission deadline: March 23, 2007 (5PM US EST) Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2007 Camera ready version due: May 17, 2007 Workshop date: June 11, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: =============================== All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 6 pages, double-column, with a font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous and reviewing is single-blind. Submissions will be judged on based on technical content and correctness, relevance to the workshop, as well as presentation of the research. Extended versions of selected workshop papers will be considered for fast track publication in a special issue of ACM Monet.
