!!!!EXTENDED DEADLINE!!!! Please apologize for multiple copies. ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ******************** IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Practical aspects of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks" ********************************************************** Wireless and mobile computing advanced significantly in the last decade. In particular, we now face the possibility to spontaneously establish wireless self- organizing networks, such as ad hoc, disruption-tolerant, sensor, and wireless mesh networks. These spontaneous self-organizing networks have been the focus of intensive research activity in recent years. Spontaneous networks arise from the cooperation of mobile devices in an ad hoc fashion requiring no previous infrastructure in place. A key point to couple research and real-life applications in this context is to understand how mobility (of devices, users, and applications) impacts practical networking aspects. The knowledge accumulated so far in the area of wireless self-organizing networks is in general supported by either simulation or theoretical analysis relying on strong assumptions. The research community needs a step forward and should definitely consider real aspects of mobility in their protocols and algorithms. Such a situation is to be compared with the one found for infrastructure-based networks (e.g., cellular networks), in which mobility has been thoroughly investigated (both theoretically and through measurements) and properly incorporated in their management architecture. In wireless self-organizing networks, contrary to common belief, much is still to be done in this domain, and definitive solutions are still to emerge. Mobility can no longer be seen as an issue to be hidden from higher layers of the protocol stack, but as an expected characteristic of today's communication systems. In this context, it is of utmost importance to address issues related to the impact of mobility as seen in practice, covering characterization, modeling, and applications of mobility in modern wireless networks. The research community working on wireless self-organizing networks has recently started giving more attention to the practical mobility issues in this area. This may be attested by the increasing number of initiatives worldwide like the many measurement campaigns and the considerable body of developed theoretical background work supported by practical arguments (e.g., mobility models, mobility increasing network capacity, relationship between node mobility and wireless channel conditions). The goal of this special issue is to help filling this gap by presenting contributions ranging from the impact of mobility on self-organizing networks to mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. As we intend to focus on the practical impacts of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks, papers presenting insights from the applicability of mobility measurements and realistic mobility models in this context are also expected. We will be particularly interested in contributions that explore mobility to improve the behavior of network protocols and algorithms. We are soliciting papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics: * Mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. * Impact of mobility on self-organizing networks. * Practical applicability of wireless testbeds and mobility measurements. * Realistic mobility models for self-organizing networks. * Mobility-centric killer applications. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html. Submitted papers must be original and must not be under current consideration for publication in other venues.

Please accept our apologies for receiving multiple copies, and we appreciate if you can forward to potentially interested persons. --------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Third International Workshop on Feedback Control Implementation and Design in Computing Systems and Networks (FeBID 2008) Sponsored by ACM Sigmetrics 2008 http://www.controlofsystems.org/febid2008/ Traditional practice in performance modeling focuses on using a variety of techniques including mathematical modeling, simulation, and analysis to understand the behavior of systems for the purpose of better design and evaluation. As IT systems, networks, and services become increasingly complex, this task becomes ever more difficult. In recent years, there has been considerable success in applying feedback control theory to analyzing and designing run-time IT control systems. Feedback control theory complements traditional modeling by providing formal mechanisms to dynamically control behavior of systems at run-time. The Third International Workshop on Feedback Control Implementation and Design in Computing Systems and Networks (FeBID 2008) will be held June 6th, 2008 in Annapolis, Maryland, USA. The FeBID 2008 workshop will offer a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss recent and innovative results in applying control theory to controlling performance of computing systems and networks. It will provide a forum to exchange ideas and experiences on practical control system design and implementation and to identify future directions and challenges in aligning feedback control techniques with traditional performance modeling and simulation. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Control engineering and applications to server and network systems . Automated resource allocation . Virtual environment management . Centralized or distributed load balancing . Workload management . Power management . Automated configuration management . Congestion control and queue management . Control of IT services and business operations . Control of networks (overlay networks, sensor networks, wireless networks) . Control of middleware (Web servers, application servers, database servers) . Case studies in applying control theory to systems 2. Control models, methodologies and paradigms . Control system architecture . System identification and modeling techniques . Controllability and observability in computer and network systems . Actuator and sensor design .

The goal of this special issue is to help filling this gap by presenting contributions ranging from the impact of mobility on self-organizing networks to mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. As we intend to focus on the practical impacts of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks, papers presenting insights from the applicability of mobility measurements and realistic mobility models in this context are also expected. We will be particularly interested in contributions that explore mobility to improve the behavior of network protocols and algorithms. We are soliciting papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics: * Mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. * Impact of mobility on self-organizing networks. * Practical applicability of wireless testbeds and mobility measurements. * Realistic mobility models for self-organizing networks. * Mobility-centric killer applications.
