-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM/Springer MONET Special Issue on "Advances in Wireless Mesh Networks" Datum: Mon, 14 May 2007 16:32:07 -0500 Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang(a)uark.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================ CALL FOR PAPERS ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Special Issue on "Advances in Wireless Mesh Networks" ============================================ Wireless mesh networks facilitates the extension of local area networks into wide areas and have emerged as a promising approach for future network accesses. Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to numerous practical routing and transport protocols. Unlike ad hoc networks, however, mesh networks can serve as access networks that employ multi-hop wireless forwarding by mesh nodes to relay traffic to and from the wired Internet. The unique features of wireless mesh networks pose challenges in designing affordable, reliable, and sustainable network infrastructures. The critical issues span a rich spectrum of issues from interference-aware channel assignment, multi-hop routing, to reliable transport and infrastructure optimization, many of which have to be revisited in this new context. The purpose of this special issue is to archive the state-of-the-art achievements in wireless mesh networking. We solicit original and unpublished research papers in both theoretical studies and practical protocol/architecture designs for wireless mesh networks, as well as prototypes. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical performance analysis - Network capacity and network coverage - Scalable power management and topology control - Cognitive radio-enabled wireless mesh networks - Multi-channel and multi-radio MAC protocols - Scalable and robust routing protocols - Reliable and adaptive transport protocols - Cross-layer design and optimization - New applications over wireless mesh networks - Secure communication protocols - Resource management and traffic control - Heterogeneous wireless mesh networks - Cooperative communication for mesh networks - Efficient transport design - Network operation and management - Mobility management - Testbeds and trial systems Publication Schedules: - Manuscript Due: June 1, 2007 - Acceptance Notification: Oct 15, 2007 - Final Manuscript Due: Dec 1, 2007 - Publication Date: second quarter in 2008 (expected) Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered.

GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch "Drahtlose Sensornetze" 16./17. Juli 2007, RWTH Aachen >>>> Verlängerte Einreichungsfrist: 18. Mai 2007 <<<< Drahtlose Sensornetze stellen eine vielversprechende Technologie zur Beobachtung und Beeinflussung von Vorgängen in der realen Welt dar. Autonome Sensorknoten nehmen dabei Parameter der Umwelt durch Sensoren wahr und können diese durch Aktoren beeinflussen. Viele solcher autonomen und ressourcenbeschränkten Knoten kooperieren dabei mittels drahtloser Kommunikation. Die Eigenschaften dieser Knoten und Netze implizieren eine Vielzahl von neuartigen Herausforderungen, die sich in einer regen Forschungsaktivität widerspiegeln. Ziel dieser Reihe von Fachgesprächen ist es, Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern aus diesem Gebiet die Möglichkeit zu einem informellen Gedankenaustausch zu geben und die Kooperation in diesem multidisziplinären Forschungsbereich zu verstärken. Termine: -------- * Einreichung der Beiträge: 18. Mai 2007 * Benachrichtung: 18. Juni 2007 * Anmeldung bis: 2. Juli 2007 * Fachgespräch: 16.-17. Juli 2007 Beiträge: -------- Im Rahmen des Fachgesprächs soll die Diskussion gegenüber der Vortragspräsentation Vorrang haben. Als Beiträge sind daher lediglich kurze Themenvorstellungen vorgesehen (ca. 10 Minuten), die Anstoß zur Diskussion geben sollen. Mögliche Themen reichen von Hardwareaspekten und Betriebssystemtechniken über Kommunikationsaspekte, Daten- und Signalverarbeitung, Programmierparadigmen, Systemarchitekturen, bis hin zu Anwendungen und Integration von Sensornetzen in bestehende Systeme. Auch Querschnittsthemen wie Energie- und Ressourceneffizienz, Sicherheitsaspekte und allgemein Dienstgütemechanismen sind mögliche Themenbereiche. Beiträge sollten in Form von Extended Abstracts eingereicht werden, und 2-4 Seiten im doppelspaltigen ACM Format umfassen. Die angenommenen Beiträge werden als technischer Bericht publiziert. Bitte senden Sie ihre Beiträge an fgsn(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de.
