by Yu Cao 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

We apologize if you received multiple copies of this Call for Papers ************************************************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Multimedia Tools and Applications (Springer) Special Issue on Data Semantics for Multimedia Systems Manuscript due: December 15, 2008 http://www.springer.com/computer/information+systems/journal/11042 (the second one in the listing) http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/CFP_11042… In the last decade, substantial progress has been made in content-based analysis and multimedia streaming to facilitate the development of large-scale multimedia information systems. Together with the recent progress on semantic web, it is now possible to build a new generation of multimedia applications that enable large-scale semantic representation, analysis, and delivery of multimedia data from heterogeneous data sources. However, there is still a long way to go for mature solutions of multimedia database systems that are capable of processing semantics-rich, large-volume multimedia data. It could be even more challenging if such systems are under stringent functional and non-functional (e.g., QoS) requirements. The goal of this special issue is to bring the semantic web community and multimedia processing & computing community together and provide a forum for multidisciplinary research opportunities, with a focus on how to apply the semantic technologies to the acquisition, generation, transmission, storage, processing, and retrieval of multimedia information. Discussions on future challenges in multimedia information manipulation, as well as practical solutions for the design and implementation of multimedia database software systems are also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to practical areas that span both semantic technologies and multimedia processing & computing: . Automatic generation of multimedia presentations . Semantic multimedia metadata extraction . Annotation tools and methods for multimedia semantics . Media ontology generation/learning/reasoning . Content-based multimedia analysis . Multimedia indexing, searching, and retrieving . Multimedia streaming . Semantic-based QoS control and scheduling . Semantic-based Internet data streaming and delivery . Multimedia standards (e.g., MPEG-7 and XMP) and Semantic Web . Semantics enabled multimedia applications (including annotation, browsing, storage, retrieval, and visualization) . Semantics enabled networking and middleware for multimedia applications Submission Details Papers must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other conference or journal. Prospective contributors are invited to submit papers in A4/US letter, single column, double space format, up to 30 pages long including figures, tables and references.

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.

[Tccc] CFP: Swarm Intelligence Journal - Special Issue on SI for Telecommunications Networks
by Gianni Di Caro 21 Nov '08

(APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES OF THIS CALL) ***************************************************************** Call For Papers SWARM INTELLIGENCE JOURNAL http://www.springer.com/computer/artificial/journal/11721 ***************************************************************** Special Issue: SWARM INTELLIGENCE FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS Submission Deadline: DECEMBER 31, 2008 ***************************************************************** Swarm Intelligence (SI) is a computational and behavioral metaphor for distributed problem solving originally inspired by the collective behavior of social insects and other animal societies, such as ant colonies and flocking birds. More generally, SI refers to the bottom-up design of distributed systems that display forms of useful and/or interesting behaviors at the global level as a result of the relatively simple actions of a number of composing units interacting with one another and with their environment at the local level. When properly engineered, an SI system can conjugate easiness of design with high performance in terms of robustness, scalability, and adaptivity. All these characteristics have made SI an attractive framework to tackle the challenges of modern networked systems, which are made of a large number of components, are highly heterogeneous in terms of communication technologies, protocols, and services, and are dynamic, due to continuous changes in topology, traffic patterns, and number of active users and services. These challenges ask for the development of novel control and management algorithms and protocols that are adaptive, robust, scalable, and can let the network behave as an autonomous and self-organizing system. Since these are the properties that can almost naturally result when adopting a properly engineered SI design approach, a considerable amount of work in the domain of SI has successfully addressed a variety of problems in the area of communication networks. This special issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art results in the application and evaluation of the SI paradigm to problems arising in the context of analysis, design, control, management, and protection of networked systems. The Swarm Intelligence Journal is the principal peer-reviewed publication dedicated to reporting on research and developments in the multidisciplinary field of swarm intelligence. The journal is published quarterly by Springer US. **************************** SELECTED TOPICS OF INTEREST: **************************** Particularly welcome are contributions focusing on SI solutions for: + Mobile Ad Hoc Networks + Mesh Networks + Sensor Networks + Robotic Networks + Internet + Delay Tolerant Networks + QoS Networks + Satellite Networks + Secure Networks Topics of interest in relationship to the above networks include but are not limited to: - Network analysis and design - Distributed medium access control - Routing protocols - Transport layer protocols - QoS provisioning - Load balancing - Protection and security systems - Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-adaptation - Distributed inference and cooperative communication systems - Online monitoring and performance evaluation - Formal modeling of SI systems - Comparisons between SI and other design frameworks - Implementation of SI approaches in testbeds - Evaluation of SI approaches in real-world settings ************** GUEST EDITORS: ************** Gianni A.

The resulting global-level behaviors usually show a number of properties essential for success in natural environments such as: adaptivity to environmental variations, robustness to internal changes and failures, and effectiveness and scalability of performance. Because of all these architectural and performance properties, the observation and reverse-engineering of successful processes in organic, inorganic, and animal systems in nature, has drawn in recent years the attention of many researchers and engineers working in the fields of parallel and distributed systems, and, more in particular, in telecommunications networks. In these domains, nature has provided basic inspiration for the definition of a number of novel algorithms and computational frameworks able to deal effectively with the challenges of current networked systems, which show a growing structural and computational complexity and are made of a large number of highly dynamic and heterogeneous components. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum to present cutting edge research on nature-inspired approaches to problems arising in the design, control, protection, and management of network systems, and to outline new trends in parallel nature-inspired computation for the solution of complex problems. EvoCOMNET is part of EVOSTAR (EVO*), Europe's premier co-located events in the field of evolutionary and nature-inspired computing. EVO* includes the EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoBIO conferences and a number of workshops collectively entitled EvoWorkshops.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] JSAC CFP: Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking Datum: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:46:06 +0200 Von: Moustafa Youssef <moustafa(a)cs.umd.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Referenzen: <mailman.30608.1227101994.28270.tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Our apology if you receive multiple posts of this announcement. ============================================== JSAC CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking Mission-Critical Networking (MCN) refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection and operation, emergency and crisis intervention, healthcare services, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity, emergent behaviors, and the need for reliable and timely response. MCN should comprise networking technology, infrastructures and services that may alleviate the risk and directly enable and enhance connectivity for mission-critical information exchange among diverse, widely-dispersed, mobile users. A primary challenge to MCN is to deploy and dynamically configure and evolve communication networks that are dependable, autonomic, secure, adaptive, and rapidly deployable to support critical missions and their priorities. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of both authorized and unauthorized entities, quality-of-service aware audio and video communication, emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, on-demand federation, and service-oriented architecture. Also important is the integration of MCN with the Internet to reduce cost of deployment and maintenance and to enhance reachability and ubiquity. This special issue of the Journal on Selected Areas in Communications solicits high quality technical contributions in mission-critical networking including, but not limited to: - Architecture and design of MCN and next-generation emergency calling and alerting - Rapidly and dynamically deployable services and networks - Evolving "elastic" networking with decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation - Federation and policy management for heterogeneous networks and protocols - Trust, security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and management for MCN - Sensor and actuator networks for critical information gathering, tracking and real-time control - MCN traffic and mobility analysis - Formal methodology for cognitive, autonomic, and context-aware protocols and network management - Spectrum management and access - Testbeds, benchmarks, performance and experimental studies ** Paper Submission Manuscripts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review. Argument justifying contribution specific to the unique features of MCN must be provided. Prospective authors should follow the IEEE JSAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors at: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to mcn-jsac(a)criticalnet.org according to the following timetable: - Manuscript submission: April 1, 2009 - First review notification: August 1, 2009 - Revised manuscript due: October 1, 2009 - Acceptance notification: November 1, 2009 - Final manuscript due: January 2, 2010 - Publication: June, 2010 ** Guest Editors - Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA - Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Switzerland - Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas, USA - Moustafa Youssef, Nile University, Egypt - Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University, USA - Mario Gerla, UCLA, USA - David Du, National Science Foundation and University of Minnesota, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
