-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] [Fwd: Reminder: IAMCOM 2008 - Call For Papers] Datum: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:07:59 +0200 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: Verborgene_Empfaenger: ; ******************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS =============== IAMCOM 2008 Workshop on Intelligent Networking: Adaptation, Communication, and Reconfiguration January 10, 2008. Bangalore, India http://www.iamcom.org Paper submission deadline: 10 October, 2007, Friday Midnight, CET Workshop co-Sponsored by: IEEE Communications Society (www.comsoc.org <http://www.comsoc.org>) CreateNet (www.create-net.it <http://www.create-net.it>) [held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM conference COMSWARE 2008, with a large participation from industries and government labs] ******************************************************************* SCOPE ====== The topic of assured communications between the application end-points in a distributed embedded system is quite important for the military, automotive, aerospace, and E-Commerce domains. It synergizes three sub-areas of research: adaptation of system operations to the network resources & environment conditions, reliable communications between end-points in the presence of failures, and self-reconfigurations at various system levels for increased resilience. The topic has spurred the need for Intelligent Networking at various layers of the system architecture to support these critical functionalities. IAMCOM 2008 will thus offer a unique and focused forum for researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new results in this important area.. ******************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS =============== Intelligent Networking has become popular in the context of distributed embedded systems for aerospace, automotive, military, E-commerce, and eco-surveillance applications. Unlike the telecom-centric networks of the 90's that had an inward focus on network signaling & control today's intelligent networks are designed from an application perspective. Here, networks could mean a set of collaborative data processing nodes that serve as application proxies ( e.g., airborne nodes in a police surveillance network). The goal of contemporary Intelligent Networking is to improve application-level reliability & performance, security, QoS assurance, and the like. The need for intelligent networking arises because the target application systems are too complex to be studied in isolation. A holistic approach to design that addresses both application and network, can result in performance gains. Often, mathematical models and/or closed-form representations of target application systems do not exist or are too unwieldy to allow offline analysis. For instance, network outages can have a profound impact on the application reliability in many military applications, but can be tolerated in certain commercial application domains. The mapping relationship between the network events and the application activities are deeply buried in the system operations, with no apparent mechanism for the system designers to track these cross-layer relationships. The complex nature of modern day embedded systems applications provides a new dimension to the concept of intelligent networking --- and hence opens a set of new research directions. This new dimension covers three aspects: adaptation to resources & environment, reliable communications between nodes, and reconfigurations at various system levels. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the presentation of ongoing work in embedded systems control & management pertaining to the three pillars of adaptation, communication, and reconfiguration. Papers are solicited on the following topics: 1.QoS assurance architectures 2.Network state fusion, monitoring 3.Utility-based QoS adaptation 4.Vehicular network security 5.Capacity provisioning 6.Survivable links: restoration & routing 7.Dynamic resource allocations 8.Distributed management & control 9.Self-healing networks 10.Cross-layer approaches in system design 11.'Control-Theoretic' approaches to performance management 12.Embedded systems applications --- aerospace, automotive, military & sensor networks 13.Latency-sensitive data streaming & fusion 14.Service-level specification & verification 15.Energy-aware wireless operations 16.QoS stability in wireless networks 17.MAC-layer optimizations in wireless networks 18.Incentive based QoS models for wireless networks 19.Reliable communications in vehicular networks: Emergency Response 20.GPS based location & tracking 21.Location-sensitive data fusion Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and through the IEEE Digital Library Xplore.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON) Datum: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 14:53:22 +0800 Von: Ling-Jyh Chen <cclljj(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ================================================================== Call for Papers The First IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-08) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 22th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-08), GinoWan, Okinawa, Japan, Mar 25-28, 2008 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON08/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website (http://conference.iis.sinica.edu.tw/Conference-Submission). The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline: Oct. 19, 2007 Authors Notification: Nov. 19, 2007 Authors Registration: Nov. 30, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: Dec. 14, 2007 General Co-Chairs Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Program Committee Members Nilanjan Banerjee, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Athanassios Boulis, National ICT Australia, Australia Vladimir Bychkovsky, MIT, USA Jun-Hong Cui, University of Connecticut, USA Debojyoti Dutta, CISCO, USA Robert Hsieh, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Dirk Kutscher, Bremen University, Germany Lavy Libman, National ICT Australia, Australia Tim Moors, University of New South Wales, Australia Joerg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland Giovanni Pau, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Marco Roccetti, University of Bologna, Italy Chuan-Ching Sue, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt'08) March 31-April 4, Berlin, Germany http://www.wiopt.org Call for papers: http://www.wmcnr.org/CFP_WMCNR2008.pdf ============================================================================ *** Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 *** Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org Call for Papers The wireless multihop communication has been one of key research issues in recent years both in academia and wireless industry. It encompasses ad hoc radio networks, sensor networks, wireless mesh networks and mobile multihop relay related to the industrial and standardization activities such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.15.4, 802.16j, etc. Further the multihop communications can be combined with cooperative communications and network coding, which attracted more researchers in this field. The idea behind such multihop communications is to utilize the availability of other nodes or to borrow their transmission capability. This in many cases exceeds the delay caused by the multihop relay, the gain from which is capacity enhancement as well as coverage extension of plain radio networks. Now we turn our attention to the robotics area. In these days, many researchers are noticing group behaviors found in small insects or animals such as ants, birds, and fish, trying to realize such behaviors into the control and coordination of a team of robots with their local interaction. The multiple (usually small) robots communicate each other, sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications. In this respect, wireless multihop communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information exchange. The main idea of this workshop is to bridge the above two areas (wireless multihop communications and networked robotics) by opening a place for researchers to meet and exchange their ideas. The workshop welcomes submissions on all aspects of the themes, which include (but not limited to) the following topics: - Communication architecture for collaborative robot systems - Biologically inspired swarm robotics with networking functionality - Multiple robot networking with mutihop- and cooperative communications - Network coding and wireless relay technologies for cooperative robotics - Learning and adaptation in cooperative environments - Applications of multi-robot network systems - Ad hoc robot networks - Cognitive communication technologies for inter-robot team work - Exploiting robot mobility in wireless relay networks - QoS support in networked robotics - Wireless multihop networks under node mobility ============================================================================ Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: January 5, 2008 Camera-ready papers due: February 1, 2008 Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org Submission will be done through COCUS: http://cocus.create-net.it ============================================================================ Workshop Chair: Seong-Lyun Kim, Yonsei Univ., Korea (slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr) Technical Programming Chairs: Riku Jäntti, Helsinki Univ.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany http://www.tm.uka.de/wons2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the conference ----------------------- With the increasing variety of wireless technologies, ubiquitous connectivity and service provisioning more and more complements traditional, infrastructure-based cellular networks. WLANs, WiMax, Mobile Ad-hoc networks as well as vehicular networks and sensor networks are popular examples. The goal is to provide services "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. On-demand provisioning of services in such infrastructure-less environments is a challenge in itself. Methods for self-organisation are strongly required to enable this vision. Other challenges are posed by the architectures suited for different networks and applications (e.g., specialized architectures for sensor networks) also raising issues with respect to interoperability. WONS is now at its fifth edition and is still confronted with new technical challenges and new application demands. As such it provides a premier forum for high quality paper presentations and lively discussions. For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks, mesh networks, vehicular networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and Design * Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation * Modeling * Internet integration * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive / ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Applications and Service Support * Data dissemination and Peer-to-Peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages) in PDF format having a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions, ongoing work, visionary, innovative ideas. Further submission instructions will be published on the conference web site.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on Practical Aspects of Mobility in Wireless Self-Organizing Networks]
by Lars Wolf 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on Practical Aspects of Mobility in Wireless Self-Organizing Networks Datum: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:05:51 +0200 Von: Marcelo Dias de Amorim <Marcelo.Amorim(a)lip6.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please apologize for multiple copies. ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ******************** IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Practical aspects of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks" ********************************************************** Wireless and mobile computing advanced significantly in the last decade. In particular, we now face the possibility to spontaneously establish wireless self- organizing networks, such as ad hoc, disruption-tolerant, sensor, and wireless mesh networks. These spontaneous self-organizing networks have been the focus of intensive research activity in recent years. Spontaneous networks arise from the cooperation of mobile devices in an ad hoc fashion requiring no previous infrastructure in place. A key point to couple research and real-life applications in this context is to understand how mobility (of devices, users, and applications) impacts practical networking aspects. The knowledge accumulated so far in the area of wireless self-organizing networks is in general supported by either simulation or theoretical analysis relying on strong assumptions. The research community needs a step forward and should definitely consider real aspects of mobility in their protocols and algorithms. Such a situation is to be compared with the one found for infrastructure-based networks (e.g., cellular networks), in which mobility has been thoroughly investigated (both theoretically and through measurements) and properly incorporated in their management architecture. In wireless self-organizing networks, contrary to common belief, much is still to be done in this domain, and definitive solutions are still to emerge. Mobility can no longer be seen as an issue to be hidden from higher layers of the protocol stack, but as an expected characteristic of today's communication systems. In this context, it is of utmost importance to address issues related to the impact of mobility as seen in practice, covering characterization, modeling, and applications of mobility in modern wireless networks. The research community working on wireless self-organizing networks has recently started giving more attention to the practical mobility issues in this area. This may be attested by the increasing number of initiatives worldwide like the many measurement campaigns and the considerable body of developed theoretical background work supported by practical arguments (e.g., mobility models, mobility increasing network capacity, relationship between node mobility and wireless channel conditions). The goal of this special issue is to help filling this gap by presenting contributions ranging from the impact of mobility on self-organizing networks to mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. As we intend to focus on the practical impacts of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks, papers presenting insights from the applicability of mobility measurements and realistic mobility models in this context are also expected. We will be particularly interested in contributions that explore mobility to improve the behavior of network protocols and algorithms. We are soliciting papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics: * Mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. * Impact of mobility on self-organizing networks. * Practical applicability of wireless testbeds and mobility measurements. * Realistic mobility models for self-organizing networks. * Mobility-centric killer applications. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html.

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications and environments supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2008 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Paper submissions are due on Oct 16, 2007 at 23:59:59 EST. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format. Papers should be single column using 12pt font. The conference proceedings will be published by the ACM. Preliminary proceedings will be made available to workshop participants online ahead of the workshop. Printed proceedings will be published and mailed to participants after the workshop. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Poster and demo submissions are due on January 14th, 2008 at 23:59:59 EST. Submissions must include an extended abstract limited to one 8.5x11-inch page in 12pt font. The important dates, as well as the organizing and program committee members are listed below. We look forward to seeing you at HotMobile 2008.
