-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) (Deadline Extended to Nov. 7) Datum: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:42:31 +0800 Von: Ling-Jyh Chen <cclljj(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu 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.

*** 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP SCENES - Workshop on Scenarios for Network Evaluation Studies Datum: Sun, 26 Oct 2008 13:38:31 +0100 Von: Nils Aschenbruck <aschenbruck(a)cs.uni-bonn.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= The First Workshop on Scenarios for Network Evaluation Studies (SCENES 2009) http://www.scenes-workshop.org Rome, Italy March 6th, 2009 to be held in conjunction with SIMUTools 2009. CALL FOR PAPERS For the reliable performance evaluation of wireless networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages in ACM conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the SCENES website.

Substantial research efforts have contributed to the success of P2P paradigms in the wired network environments. As broadband wireless connections (e.g., WLAN, WiMAX, 3G, 3.5G, and emerging 4G) become affordable and popular, mobile users now have increasing interests to participate in P2P services anywhere, anytime through their handheld devices. The special characteristics of wireless mobile environment such as highly variable connectivity, energy and resource sensitivity, and communication asymmetry render new challenges, problems and issues for research in mobile P2P computing. The techniques developed for the wired P2P networks may not be applied directly in such environments. New derivatives or modification to present P2P data dissemination and management strategies are required. As a result, research works should propose promising solutions that enable efficient and reliable mobile P2P information services in the province of mobile P2P computing. Workshop Goals ============== Mobile P2P is a cross cutting area as it crosses communications, networking, information dissemination, databases, and security. The main goal of the workshop is to gather scientists from these areas together to foster the collaboration among such interdisciplinary areas and sparkle discussion on open topics related to mobile P2P. Workshop Scope ============== The scope of this workshop includes but is not limited to the following topics: - Peer-to-peer overlays for wireless and mobile networks - Hybrid P2P service architectures for integrated fixed and mobile wide-area networks - Large-scale mobile P2P systems - MP2P Data management (Schedule/Cache/Replica/Index/Query) - Impact of network mobility on P2P information services - P2P-based Information sensing and fusion - Data broadcast, dissemination in MP2P - Publish/Subscribe in MP2P - File Sharing in MP2P - Media Streaming in MP2P - Resource and service discovery in MP2P - Peer access and control in mobile environment - MP2P messaging systems, monitoring systems, searching systems, etc. - Location dependent MP2P services - Novel MP2P applications & services Paper Submissions ================= All submissions must be original unpublished work written in English that is currently not under review at another venue.

Please find below the Call for papers for IQ2S 2009, The First International Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing, which will be held in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2009, Galveston, Texas, March 9-13, 2009. [+++++++ DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 31! +++++++] We would appreciate it very much if you could disseminate this CFP to your colleagues and students! Best Regards, Wendong Xiao, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Habib M. Ammari, the University of Texas at Arlington, USA Program Co-Chairs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 <http://iq2s2009.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/> <http://iq2s2009.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/ > > In Conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2009 (http://www.percom.org <http://www.percom.org/> <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 conference format (author guidelines can be found at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM <ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM> ) and should be no more than 6 pages in length.
