Motivations: Because WiMob'07 conference is focused on wireless networks and because the performances of wireless networks are strongly linked to the mobility models used, we propose a special session focusing only on mobility models. This session is focused on these kind of wireless networks: - MANET: Mobile ad hoc networks where whole the topology is dynamic - Mesh networks and classical wireless networks offering an infrastructure topologies allowing fixed and mobile Internet for the end user. - Network Mobility (NEMO) networks offering new kind of dynamic topology where not only the user is mobile but also the network These kind of networks should deal with mobility: user mobility, group mobility, etc. But, what is really mobility? how mobility influences the performances? how to define new mobility models? etc. Scope of the Contributions for Mobility Models in the case of MANET, Mesh Networks, Wireless Networks and NEMO (include but are not limited to the following): - Performance evaluation of mobility models - New mobility models to mimic particular behavior - Theoretical aspects of mobility models - Theoretical frameworks for mobility - Mobility models based on realistic traces - Mobility management - Networking protocols and mobility models - Tools for mobility models (generators, integrators to simulators,..) - etc. Authors are invited to submit a complete technical paper of their original work. Maximum length for submissions is 8 double column pages in IEEE format. The preferred submission format is PDF.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Extended deadline for IEEE JSAC Special issue on Delay and Disruption Tolerant Wireless Communication]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Extended deadline for IEEE JSAC Special issue on Delay and Disruption Tolerant Wireless Communication Datum: Mon, 28 May 2007 09:46:28 +0200 Von: Gunnar Karlsson <gk(a)ee.kth.se> Organisation: KTH EE/LCN An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please note the new deadlines: Paper registration: June 1, 2007 (mandatory) Submission deadline: June 17, 2007 (11:59:59pm PDT) Submission site: http://www.read.cs.ucla.edu/jsac2007dtn --- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications DELAY AND DISRUPTION TOLERANT WIRELESS COMMUNICATION Modern computer communication has been developed for providing conti- nuous end-to-end connectivity. There are, however, communication services that are tolerant to disruptions and delay and do not require or cannot be given continuous connectivity. It is time to consider the unconnected network. This issue is dedicated to communication over wireless networks with inter- mittent connectivity due to planned or unexpected disruptions that may result in long delays for the communicating parties. Communication dis- ruptions occur both in infrastructure and ad-hoc wireless networks. In both cases, it is possible that mobile nodes cooperatively forward data for one another through their own movements. The mobility patterns of nodes affect thereby both the speed and reliability of data forwarding. Inter- mittent communication occurs also in sensor networks due to, e.g., energy- saving sleep cycles, and in deep-space communication and meteor-burst communication. The communication services that may use such intermittent and high-delay connections are characterized by a low degree of inter- activity, e.g., broadcasting, messaging, and data collection. Opportunistic strategies for caching and communicating may improve the performance in terms of reduced delay and improved probability of delivery. This issue of J-SAC is dedicated to technologies, systems designs and analyses that contribute to the development and understanding of delay and disruption tolerant wireless communication systems. Original contributions, previously unpublished and not currently under review, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following. * Data encoding for partial and unordered delivery * User studies of delay and disruption tolerances * Opportunistic caching and pre-fetching for concealment of service disruptions * Mobility measurements, modeling and performance analysis * Uni-, any-, and multicast routing protocols * Congestion, flow and error control; per-hop and multi-hop solutions * Security, privacy, authenticity and traceability of communication * Energy saving strategies and power management * Applications to personal communication, sensor networks, road-traffic systems and industrial communication Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/. All papers should be submitted through CRP in PDF format at http://www.read.cs.ucla.edu/jsac2007dtn, according to the following timetable: Submission deadline: June 17, 2007 (mandatory registration by June 1) Acceptance Notification: November 1, 2007 Final Manuscript due: January 10, 2008 Publication: 2nd quarter 2008 Guest editors: Kevin Almeroth Kevin Fall Gunnar Karlsson Dep. of Computer Science 2150 Shattuck Avenue School of Electrical Eng.
