We apologize if you receive multiple copies. CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Cooperative and Cognitive Networks 21-24 JUNE 2009 Leipzig, Germany In conjunction with the 5th International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference Workshop scope The concept of cooperative communications for wireless networks, such as cellular networks, sensor networks, and wireless ad hoc networks, has recently attracted considerable attention. Different from conventional point-to-point communications, cooperative communications and networking allows different users or nodes in a wireless network to share resources to create collaboration through distributed transmission/processing, in which each user's information is sent out not only by the user, but also by collaborating users. Cooperative communications and networking is a new communication paradigm promising significant capacity and multiplexing gain increase in wireless networks. It realizes a new form of space diversity to combat the effects of severe fading that has been termed cooperative diversity, and it is also helpful in reducing complexity of routing problems and realizing seamless networking, Although some initial understanding of cooperative communication schemes has been demonstrated in recent years, many more problems related to developing practical and effective cooperative communication systems have emerged or remain open. Cognitive radio has emerged as a promising technology for optimizing utilization of radio bandwidth in the next generation wireless communications systems and networks. This will enable us to cope with the increasing spectrum demand for wireless services as well as create new wireless applications and services. Recently, we have witnessed a flurry of research in dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radio. Development of cognitive radio technology has to deal with technical and practical considerations as well as regulatory requirements, and therefore, there is an increasing interest in this technology among the researchers and the spectrum policy makers. The workshop will focus on the research challenges associated with the design, implementation, and application of cognitive and spectrum agile wireless networks. Call for papers Authors are invited to submit papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 6 camera‐ready pages, 10 pt font in IEEE transactions format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop (see below). Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Papers in excess of page limits shall not be considered for review or publication. All papers must include title, complete contact information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the over page. The corresponding author must be clearly identified. Submissions are managed via EDAS: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6827. Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of IWCMC 2009, which will be included in the ACM/IEEE Digital Library (pending approval). Topics of interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to): Cooperative system architecture and protocol design System capacity, outage probability, performance analysis and optimization MIMO cooperative communications and distributed space-time coding Differential/non-coherent cooperation systems Cooperative multimedia communications and networking Resource allocation and management for cooperative communications Cooperative routing and scheduling for sensor networks and ad hoc networks Cross-layer design in cooperative communications and networking Impact of cooperation in cellular networks, WLAN, and existing standards. Fundamental performance limit of dynamic spectrum access for cognitive radios Challenges and issues in designing cognitive radio systems Architectures and building blocks of cognitive radio networks Spectrum sensing, measurements and statistical modModulation schemes for coexistence Spectrum awareness and dynamic channel selection Distributed cooperative spectrum sensing Distributed adaptation and optimization methods Cognitive machine learning techniques Interoperability and co-existence issues Cognitive MAC and routing protocols for dynamic spectrum access Security and robustness of cognitive spectrum-agile networks Cross-layer optimization of cognitive radio systems Applications of cognitive radio networks Pricing models for spectrum sharing in cognitive radio Regulatory policies Emerging standards Cognitive radio test-beds and hardware prototypes IMPORTANT DATES Submission: 20 Dec. 2008 (I would put 20 February) Acceptance: 25 Mar. 2009 Author registration: 15 Apr. 2009 Camera-ready paper: 15 Apr. 2009 Co‐chairs Merouane Debbah, SUPELEC, France, Merouane.Debbah(a)supelec.fr Zhu Han, University of Houston, USA, zhan2(a)mail.uh.edu Sau-Hsuan Wu, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, sauhsuan(a)cm.nctu.edu.tw Technical Program Committee Giuseppe Abreu, University of Oulu Giuseppa Alfano, Politecnico di Torino Jean-Claude Belfiore, Telecom ParisTech Bernard Fleury, Aalborg University Maxime Guillaud, Aalborg University Yao-Win Peter Hong, National Tsinghua University Jacques Palicot, Supelec Luc Vandendorpe, Université catholique de Louvain _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS, SAHNS 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS SAHNS 2009 The Second International Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems Montreal, Canada, June 26, 2009 <http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2009/> http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2009/ In conjunction with the IEEE 29th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SCOPE The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area of ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc networks. It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions for their application-oriented subclasses. One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: a) Design issues for SAHNS: o Novel network and system architectures o Economically-based models and solutions o Operating systems and middleware o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer protocols) o Resource management solutions (incl. resource discovery) o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management o Privacy, security, and trust o Reliability and dependability o Novel hardware platforms b) Development issues for SAHNS: o Development methodologies, models and tools o Analytical and validation models o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools) c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS: o Topology control and management o Energy control and management o Resource and service discovery and control o QoS provisioning and management o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and query processing o Assuring survivability and reliability o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management d) Application issues for SAHNS: o Best current and future applications for SAHNS o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications 2. PAPER SUBMISSION Papers must be submitted in the PDF format, with numbered pages. They should have no more than 6 pages following the IEEE Computer Society proceedings format (8.5 by 11 inch sheets, double-column, 10 point or larger font, single-spaced). The following information must be provided on the first page: o Paper title o Full names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors o An abstract (up to 150 words) o Five to ten keywords/phrases o A footnote with the indication of the corresponding author, plus the complete address, phone and fax numbers of the corresponding author Papers should be submitted by emailing them to: <mailto:llilien@cs.wmich.edu> llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu Each received submission will be confirmed, usually within two workdays. 3. PAPER REVIEW AND PUBLISHING Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their comments will be provided to the authors. If accepted, the paper will be published in the workshop proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press, provided that at least one of its authors registers for ICDCS (which includes SAHNS) by the early registration deadline. As all conferences published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS), ICDCS proceedings will be indexed through INSPEC, the leading English-language bibliographic information service for scientific and technical literature. ICDCS proceedings will also be submitted for indexing to EI's Engineering Information Index, Compendex, ISI Thomson's Scientific and Technical Proceedings, ISTP/ISI Proceedings, and Current Contents on Diskette (ISI Thomson). We plan a special issue of an international journal with extended versions of the selected SAHNS papers. 4.
