[Mycolleagues] [CFP: deadline is April 10] IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Distributed Networks 2008
by Kenta Umebayashi 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. ======================================================= Call For Papers - Deadline: 10 April, 2008 IEEE International Workshop on WDN 2008 International Workshop on Wireless Distributed Networks Date and Location: September 15, 2008, Cannes, France http://www.icwdn.org/wdn/ ======================================================= We would like to invite prospective authors to submit technical papers to IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Distributed Networks (WDN 2008), which will be held in conjunction with PIMRC 2008, 15 September, 2008, Cannes, France. Authors are encouraged to submit original, high uality research papers addressing the below stated areas. * IMPORTANT DATES: *********************************** 10 April, 2008 Submission deadline *********************************** 19 May, 2008 Notification of acceptance 2 June, 2008 Final manuscript 15 Sept, 2008 Workshop * SCOPE: With diversification of wireless access technologies and their application fields, the role of wireless access is no longer the last hop terminal access, but also for repeating functionality such as mesh/multi-hop/ad-hoc/sensor networking. Thereby more complicated wireless networking, especially radio resource management is required to well organize whole the networks. In such cases, it is almost impossible to optimally conduct wireless resource management based on a centralized control policy. Rather, distributed and/or cooperative control techniques should be introduced in necessary parts in any layer, such as distributed antenna, cognitive radio, distributed MAC, and dynamic heterogeneous networking. To systematize an academic basis of this new research field and to discuss the adaptability of these new technologies to enhance the performance of wireless distributed networks (WDN), the workshop named WDN 2008 will be held. In order to achieve such purpose, we believe that cross layer discussions among researchers in the field of physical, MAC, and network layers are required. WDN 2008 will be held in conjunction with PIMRC 2008, as part of the conference workshops to make up various contributions as well as invited contributions from many research fields related to wireless distributed networks. * TOPICS AREAS: The main purpose of this workshop is to systematize an academic basis over the various topics in wireless distributed networks as listed below, and to discuss the adaptability of these new technologies to enhance the performance of wireless distributed networks. - Application Ad-hoc network, Multi-hop network, Mesh network, Sensor network, Cognitive radio, heterogeneous network, and cooperative transmission system - Technology Network coding, Super position coding, Cooperative sensing, Cooperative relay, Virtual antenna array, Distributed antenna system, BS or AP cooperation, Distributed RRM or scheduling, Distributed MAC, Distributed MIMO, Radio Spectrum Sensing, Spatial spectrum sharing, Cross layer optimization - Theory Multi-dimensional Information theory, Convex optimization, Game theory, Graph theory, Bayesian network * PAPER SUBMISSIONS: Papers should be written following the PIMRC 2008 paper instruction. Papers should be written in English, not exceeding 5 double-column pages (overlength pages will be charged for). Please, submit your paper using EDAS before 10 April 2008. * CONTACT ---------------- For more information, please visit the conference web site or contact the PR person: Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology Tel/Fax: +81 (0) 42 388 7483 Email: ume[AT]suzuki-lab.tuat.ac.jp Kenta Umebayashi Conference web site: http://www.icwdn.org/wdn/ _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues

While former Mixed Reality applications were mainly stationary, advances in mobile computing and positioning technology have made this new type of games possible. Players wear mobile computers equipped with positioning technology, head-mounted displays, laptops, personal digital assistants, or mobile phones in order to play this kind of games. Early prototypes such as ARQuake, Human Pacman, or NetAttack showed the technical feasibility but also the potentials of mobile Mixed Reality games. Players find it fascinating to play their own avatar, to physically move in the game world and to directly interact and compete with their co-players. The close integration of Mixed Reality games in the physical environment offers a new player experience that cannot be achieved with traditional computer or console games. While the technology has matured since the first games in this field leading to Mixed Reality systems running on off-the-shelf computers and there are already some related commercial systems available such as Sony's Eye of Judgment, many issues related to the design, development and evaluation of mobile Mixed Reality games are still open and need to be further researched. We would like to invite papers to be submitted to this special session of DIMEA 2008 that focus on one or several issues of Mobile Mixed Reality Games including but not limited to: . Design and evaluation of Augmented Reality and MR games . Design guidelines for Augmented Reality or MR games . Ethical issues of mobile Mixed Reality games . Positioning technology for MR games including marker-based and marker-less tracking . MR hardware and software systems for games . Tools for rapid prototyping of MR games In the special session we will bring together researcher and practioneers who work in this new and emerging field of MR games. The session will draw the attention to the potentials of this new form of media in entertainment and will push the state-of-the-art in this field. *** SUBMISSIONS *** Please note that the submission and review of papers for the Special Session will be conducted through the same on-line system (www.dimea2008.org) used for regular papers.

[Tccc] CFP: Inter-Perf 2008
by Giovanni Neglia 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

----------------------------------------------------------------------- INTER-PERF 2008 Third International Workshop on Interdisciplinary Systems Approach in Performance Evaluation and Design of Computer & Communication Systems October 24, 2008, Athens, Greece http://www.inter-perf.org Full Papers due: June 1, 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Communication networks is now a diverse area featuring sensor networks, mobile networks, ad hoc networks, and various application layer networks. A great deal of current research focuses on the networking aspect of interacting computer systems, which are typically large scale and highly dynamic. Interestingly, operational principles of these networking systems may exhibit great similarity with complex systems found in other sciences, when studied at an appropriate level of abstraction. This observation suggests that models and techniques developed in other sciences can potentially be used in order to evaluate and understand the performance of existing communication systems and also to drive design of new ones. The workshop aims at getting together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas, including biology, economics, physics, artificial intelligence and social sciences, to present their contributions applicable to performance evaluation and design of computer & communications systems. In particular this third edition of the workshop will focus on completely distributed self-organizing systems. Approaches from the following research areas are considered of particular interest: * Biology * Microeconomics * Mechanism design * Multiple agent systems * Social networks --------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------- Submission Deadline: June 1, 2008 Notification of Acceptance: July 7, 2008 Camera-ready Manuscripts: August 8, 2008 --------------------------- Submission Instructions --------------------------- Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the full paper in the ACM conference proceedings format, which are limited to 8 two-column pages in a font no smaller than 10-points. All submitted papers will go through a peer review process. All of the papers should be submitted electronically through EasyChair Conference Management System (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=interperf2008). At least one listed author on the final paper must register by the camera-ready due date and attend the workshop to present her/his paper. --------------------------- Publication --------------------------- All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by the technical program committee members and the reviewers they invite.

[Mycolleagues] Deadline Extension for EURASIP CFP: WIRELESS ACCESS IN VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT AND FUTURE VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
by Weidong Xiang 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

------------Deadline Extended to May 1, 2008 as many requests!----------------------------------------- Thanks for considering... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS EURASIP JOURNAL ON WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS RECENT PROGRESSES IN WIRELESS ACCESS IN VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT (WAVE) AND FUTURE VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS: THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION Wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) technology comes into sight as a state-of-the-art solution to contemporary vehicular communications, which is anticipated to be widely applied in the near future to radically improve the transportation environment in the aspects of safety, intelligent management and data exchange services. WAVE systems will fundamentally smooth the progress of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by providing it with high performance physical platforms. WAVE systems will build upon the IEEE 802.11p standard, which is still active and expected to be ratified in April, 2009. Meanwhile, the VHF/UHF (700MHz) band vehicular communications systems are attracting increasingly attention recently. The fast varying and harsh vehicular environment bring about several fresh research topics on the study of WAVE systems and future vehicular communications systems, which include physical layer challenges associated with mobile channels, capacity evaluation, novel network configuration, effective media access control (MAC) protocols, and robust routing and congestion control schemes. The objective of this special section is to gather and circulate recent progresses in this fast developing area of WAVE and future vehicular communications systems spanning from theoretical analysis to testbed setup, and from physical/MAC layers' enabling technology to network protocol. These research and implementation activities will be considerably helpful to the design of WAVE and future vehicular communications systems by removing major technical barriers and presenting theoretical guidance. This special issue will cover, but not limit to, the following main topics: · 700MHz/5.8GHz vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)/vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) single-input single-output (SISO)/MIMO channel measurement and modeling, channel spatial and temporal characteristics exploration; · Doppler shift study, evaluation and estimate, time and frequency synchronizations, channel estimate and prediction; · Utilization of MIMO, space-time coding, smart antenna, adaptive modulation and coding; · Performance study and capacity analysis of V2V and V2I communications operating over both 5.8GHz and 700Mz; · Software radio, cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access technologies applied to WAVE and future vehicular communications systems; · Mesh network and other novel network configurations for vehicular networks; · Efficient MAC protocols development; · Routing algorithms and congestion control schemes for both real-time traffic warning message broadcasting and high-speed data exchange; · Cross-layer design and optimization; · Testbed or prototype activities. * * *Submission:* We only accept relevant original drafts in a PFD format that are not at present under review by other journals. Each draft will receive a minimum of three reviews.
