-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) (Deadline Extended to Nov. 7) Datum: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:14:34 +0800 Von: Kun-chan Lan <kunchanl(a)gmail.com> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers ================================================================== Call for Papers The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 23th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-09), Bradford, UK, May 26-29, 2009 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON09/ ================================================================== 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://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON09/ISAS/). 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: Nov. 7, 2008 Authors Notification: Dec. 1, 2008 Authors Registration: Dec. 17, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: Dec. 28, 2008 General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Program Committee Members Nilanjan Banerjee, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Jun-Hong Cui, University of Connecticut, USA Jyh-How Huang, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA Robert Hsieh, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Dirk Kutscher, Bremen University, Germany Lavy Libman, National ICT Australia, Australia Joerg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland Marco Roccetti, University of Bologna, Italy Pablo Vidales, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Guang Yang, Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto, USA _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues

[Mycolleagues] IQ2S 2009 Workshop Submission Deadline is Approaching
by Xiao Wendong 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

We apologize if you received multiple copies of this message. ------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------ The First International Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing (IQ2S 2009) Website: http://iq2s2009.i2r.a-star.edu.sg In Conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2009 (http://www.percom.org) Galveston, Texas, March 9-13, 2009 Quality of service (QoS) has been studied in various building blocks in pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless or wired networks, with QoS metrics being described in terms of delay, bandwidth, and/or data loss etc. The emerging pervasive computing is application-driven and mission-critical, therefore the information quality (IQ), such as the accuracy of target tracking or event detection, is also critical for the end users, service providers and the system designers. IQ and QoS provisioning for pervasive computing is challenging and difficult due to the resource-constrained, dynamic and distributed nature of the system, the weakness under security attacking, and the lack of a holistic design approach which takes into account the different types of resources and their inter-dependencies. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of IQ and QoS for pervasive computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * System architecture for IQ and QoS provisioning * IQ-oriented signal & information processing (e.g., source coding and data compression) * QoS for target/event detection, localization, tracking and classification * QoS for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks (including coverage and connectivity) * QoS for task mapping and scheduling * Cross-layer design for coordinated QoS (including IQ-QoS integration) * Adaptative IQ and QoS under dynamic environments * Trust, security and privacy issues in IQ and QoS * Development environments and programming languages for IQ and QoS * IQ and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications, such as three-dimensional wireless sensor networks (like underwater sensor network), healthcare, and structural health monitoring * Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials Submission Instructions The submitted paper should be in the IEEE standard conference format and should be no more than 6 pages in length. Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be considered. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair for IQ2S 2009. Detailed submission guidance can be found in the workshop website. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2009 workshops proceedings.

Based on the success of the preceding WMAN workshops of 2007 back to 2002, the workshop will also be organised for 2009. For the upcoming workshop, we are very happy to introduce WMAN 2009 for the second time being hosted in the context of the bi-annual ITG/GI conference on communication in distributed systems (German: ITG/GI - Fachtagung "Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen") - see http://www.kivs09.de/. Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) show a large interest in application and protocol research. While the basic organization of the routing tasks has been addressed for quite some time, the emerging areas include auto-configuration, security and data privacy, or an efficient use of various resources, such as bandwidth, energy, or memory. Especially driven by the hand-held or mobile devices restrictions, the lack of centralized managers, and a high dynamicity of users, devices, and applications, known solutions to wire-line protocols, mechanisms, and systems cannot be applied directly to MANETs. Therefore, this workshop WMAN’09 combines in a coherent manner questions from the lower radio transmission layer all the way up to the application layer relevant in MANETs. Furthermore, dedicated application scenarios, such as vehicle-to-vehicle communications or submarine communications are of high interest. Workshop paper topics include, but are not limited to: • Basic Technologies (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth) • Architectures and protocols • Routing mechanisms • Scalability and simulations of performance • Energy efficiency • QoS for ad-hoc networks • Auto-configuration and addressing • Security and data privacy in ad-hoc networks • Software platforms (middleware) for mobile applications • Applications for ad-hoc network • Location-based services and their deployment • Context management for ad-hoc services • Pricing models for commercial ad-hoc services • Accounting schemes for ad-hoc services • Management mechanisms of ad-hoc networks • Self-configuration and self-organization in ad-hoc networks Addressees of the workshop: Goal of the WMAN workshop is to enable an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers on an international level - under the umbrella of research topics on wireless mobile ad-hoc networks. We encourage you to submit original papers describing research results or practical solutions, as well as ongoing work or challenging new research issues in the area of ad-hoc networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - First International Workshop on Cooperation in Pervasive Environments Datum: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:05:21 -0400 Von: Aaron Striegel <striegel(a)nd.edu> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *Apologies if you receive multiple copies* ---------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------- The First International Workshop on Cooperation in Pervasive Environments (CoPE 2009) http://www.cse.nd.edu/~darts/cope.html in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2009 (http://www.percom.org) The continuous emergence of powerful personal handheld devices and smart phones are redefining the pervasive computing paradigms of the past. The questions this workshop aims to discuss are: * How does the ubiquity of personal communication devices enable and support cooperative activities? * What are the technical challenges that must be overcome to achieve seamless cooperation? * What are the challenges in discovering and disseminating content given energy and form factor constraints of mobile devices? The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry to foster a discussion on key research challenges in content sharing and dissemination, cooperative activities, mobile search, and security and privacy issues in pervasive environments. Additionally, the workshop forum will provide an opportunity to explore new business models and act as a soundboard for discussing bold new ideas in the area. While the main purpose is to promote discussions in the design of cooperation and sharing architectures, protocols, algorithms, middleware, services, and applications for wireless systems, it also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We therefore seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at all layers of pervasive environments, with the focus on realistic application scenarios. The workshop aims to address cooperation from both an application as well as a system design standpoint. From the application perspective, the workshop encourages submissions of studies of prototypes or real-world systems, including demonstrations of these systems. Cooperation in such applications can take many forms, including multimedia communications, interaction with embedded sensing devices, etc. From the system point of view, the workshop will solicit submissions that discuss architectures for cooperative systems, resource management techniques, security mechanisms, and other middleware or systems approaches for realistic pervasive environments. We will also encourage submissions on "brave new topics" that present futuristic ideas that have never previously been explored. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: * Application design, case studies, prototypes, real-world-systems * Middleware technologies to support cooperation * Content sharing and dissemination in mobile environments * Context- and location-awareness * Efficient search for and dissemination of information * QoS, scalability, and energy efficiency in realistic pervasive systems * Security/privacy aspects of mobile cooperation * Payment and bartering techniques * Multi-radio and multi-channel devices * Network protocols for cooperative computing * Opportunistic sensing, networking, and cooperation * Mobile search and content discovery Submission Instructions: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. Submissions should include an abstract, key words, and email address of the corresponding author.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP--WiMAN 2009 (International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks) Datum: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 11:31:22 -0700 (PDT) Von: liqiang zhang <zhang_l_q(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: zhang_l_q(a)yahoo.com An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br *** We apologize if you receive multiple copies.*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Third IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN'09) June 26, 2009, Montreal, Quebec, Canada in conjunction with ICDCS 2009 http://www.cse.nd.edu/~darts/wiman09.html Submission Deadline: December 7, 2008 **************************************************************************************** Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols Quality of Services provisioning Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks Network deployment, localization, and synchronization Topology construction and maintenance Modeling and performance evaluations Cross layer optimizations Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks Vehicular mesh and ad hoc networks Wireless sensor networks Self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems Important Dates --------------- Paper submission due: December 7, 2008 Acceptance notification: February 7, 2009 Camera-ready due: March 7, 2009 Workshop: June 26, 2009 Submissions and Publications ---------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. Submissions should include an abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author. The length of the papers should be limited to 6 pages in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Authors must submit their papers through the CMT conference management site (https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WIMAN2009). Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work. All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. All accepted papers will be published in workshop proceedings by IEEE Computer Society Press and IEEE online library.
