*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. The length of the papers should be limited to 6 pages in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font).

[Fwd: CFP: Special Issue on Service-Oriented Broadband Wireless Network Architecture (IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine)]
by Lars Wolf 05 Nov '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: Special Issue on Service-Oriented Broadband Wireless Network Architecture (IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine) Datum: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 10:16:13 -0400 Von: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ece.uprm.edu> Antwort an: lukejie(a)ece.uprm.edu Organisation: UPR-Mayaguez An: <multicomm(a)comsoc.org> - Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ----------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers for Special Issue on Service-Oriented Broadband Wireless Network Architecture IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine In the past few years, broadband wireless networks have been very attractive for providing broadband access because of quick and cost-effective deployments. In addition to the features of high data rate and large coverage, broadband wireless networks also promise to rapidly provide broadband access to locations in the world's rural and developing areas where broadband is currently unavailable, as well as competing for urban market shares. Till now, most existing efforts have been focused the basic "access" capability. However, to successfully deploy and operate broadband wireless networks, a crucial issue must be addressed: "How to support a variety of services and applications within the broadband wireless networks?" For instance, there is an increasing need to efficiently support applications such as voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, music downloading, IP TV and many others. Apparently, existing "access-oriented" design may not be the good answer because of the following reasons. (1) Efficiency: Existing design may not be able to fully exploit the potential of wireless networks because a customer always needs to connect to an access point, which is very likely a bottleneck. (2) Quality of service: For many existing designs that are developed to gain Internet access, the customer may not be able to obtain the desired quality-of-service (QoS) because all services are provided by the Internet, which can only provide best-effort services in practice. (3) Incentive of the service provider: One critical issue that has been largely ignored is that the access-oriented design may not be fair to the service provider who develops the infrastructure, because the service provider can only earn the access fee, which is usually paid monthly and is relatively low compared to the deployment cost. To address the above issues, the service-oriented design on the network layer has been proposed recently and has gained increasing interests from both the research and industrial communities. With such a momentum, there is an urgent need to better understand as well as to keep track of cutting edge research on the service-oriented broadband wireless network architecture. We plan this special issue to help address that need, as well as to help researchers looking to jump on the bandwagon. Therefore, the special issue will focus on recent advances as well as survey papers in service-oriented broadband wireless network architecture. Scope of Contributions The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research in various aspects of service-oriented broadband wireless network architectures. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the following: - Broadband wireless network services and applications - 3G LTE services and applications - WiMAX services and applications - Service-oriented wireless mesh network architecture - Cross-layer approaches for service-oriented broadband wireless networks - Theoretical capacity analysis on service-oriented wireless networks - Topology control for emerging multihop wireless networks - Routing for service-oriented wireless networks - Optimal scheduling and medium access control for broadband wireless applications - Service orientation and call admission control in broadband wireless networks - QoS provision through interconnected wired and wireless segments - Security in broadband wireless networks - Reliability in multihop wireless networks - Network coding and physical-layer network coding in broadband wireless networks Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. However, papers presenting original contributions will also be considered, as long as the presentation is accessible and the paper length is kept within the appropriate limits. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. For manuscript submission, authors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the "Information for Authors" at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to the papers needing only moderate revisions. Therefore, the quality of initially submitted manuscripts is very important. Prospective authors should submit the all-in-one PDF version of their complete manuscripts (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 MB) via email to lukejie(a)ece.uprm.edu before December 1, 2008. The other important dates for this special issue are given as follows: Important Dates - Manuscript Submission: December 1, 2008 - Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2009 - Final Manuscript Due: May 15, 2009 - Publication: August 2009 Guest Editors The contact information of the Guest Editors for this Special Issue is given below: Yi Qian Advanced Network Technologies Division National Institute of Standards and Technology 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 8920 Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8920 Tel: +1-301-975-5190 Fax: +1-301-975-6238 Email: yqian(a)ieee.org Kejie Lu Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez Mayaguez, Puerto Rico 00681 Tel.: +1-787-832-4040 x3510 Fax: +1-787-831-7564 Email: lukejie(a)ece.uprm.edu Sastri Kota Harris Corporation 1134 East Arques Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94086, USA Tel.: +1-408-990-8301 Fax: +1-408-990-8399 Email: skota(a)harris.com Giovanni Giambene Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione Università degli Studi di Siena Via Roma, 56 Siena, 53100, Italy Tel.: +39-0577-234603 Fax: +39-0577-263602 Email: giambene(a)unisi.it

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers: MobiSys 2009 Datum: Mon, 3 Nov 2008 01:08:30 -0500 Von: Romit Roy Choudhury <romit(a)ee.duke.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, sigmobile-members(a)acm.org, mobicom(a)acm.org, sigcomm(a)postel.org --------------------------------------------------------- The 7th ACM/USENIX International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (MobiSys 2009) --------------------------------------------------------- Krakow, Poland June, 2009 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2009/ Overview MobiSys 2009 seeks to present innovative and significant research on the design, implementation, usage, and evaluation of mobile computing and wireless systems, applications, and services. This conference, jointly sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE and USENIX, builds on the success of the previous six conferences. Submission Guidelines MobiSys 2009 seeks papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. If you have any questions regarding relevance or other submission-related issues, please contact the program chairs at mobisys_pcchairs(a)acm.org. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --------------------------------------------------------- Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile and wireless systems Middleware and service architectures for mobile and wireless applications Data management for mobile and wireless applications Operating systems for resource-constrained mobile devices Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web 2.0 Experience with sensor networks and systems Infrastructure support for mobility Security and privacy in mobile and wireless systems User interfaces and usability issues for mobile and wireless applications System-level energy management for mobile and wireless devices Wearable and handheld devices in the context of system design Personal-area networks and systems Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile services Systems for context sensing and context awareness Tools and design methodologies for building mobile and wireless systems Mobile computing support for pervasive computing Experience with mobile and wireless systems Submissions should be full papers, up to 14 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Papers may be conditionally accepted and shepherded by a member of the program committee, with final acceptance determined by consent of the shepherd. Papers of particular merit will be forwarded to IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing for possible publication in a special section of the journal. MobiSys, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or publication, that submissions must not be previously published, and that accepted papers must not be subsequently published elsewhere. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review process. Important Dates --------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts due: 23:59 EST November 26th, 2008 Full papers due: 23:59 EST December 3rd, 2008 Notification of acceptance: March 2nd, 2009 Final camera-ready due: TBD (likely early April, 2009) --------------------------------------------------------- Please note: These are hard deadlines; no extensions will be granted.
