The main focus of this workshop is on simulation of wireless multi-hop networks. The SWiN workshop is devoted to the topic of wireless multi-hop network simulators. An efficient and accurate simulation of these networks raises various issues which generally need to be addressed from several research domains simultaneously. As examples, we can consider the wireless physical layer modeling and simulation, the support of large scale networks, the simulation of complex R/F systems such as MIMO ones, the emulation of wireless nodes, etc. In particular but not exclusively, the Program Committee will be seeking high quality papers on the following aspects of wireless network simulation: - Radio medium modeling & simulation; - Scalability, large scale networks support; - Validation of simulators and simulation results; - Simulators benchmarking and comparisons; - Support of advanced R/F systems (MIMO, smart-antenna); - Support of distributed physical layer schemes (distributed signal processing, cooperative schemes); - Wireless node simulation or emulation; - Interoperability of simulators, emulators and experiments; - Distributed simulation; - Implementation of simulators. This workshop will be an opportunity to present the current works in these domains as well as to foster discussion and cooperation among researchers coming from the fields of simulation, radio medium modeling, ad hoc networking and wireless sensor networking. It will also be the occasion for people directly involved in the development and implementation of simulators to meet and confront their work with the models, applications and requests coming from the research communities that effectively use the simulators. In addition to contributed talks, the workshop program will include two tutorials on wireless physical layer modeling and wireless network simulators. SWiN 2008 will be held in Avignon, in the "Provence" part of Southern France. Avignon is known for its "Palais des Papes" (Palace of the Popes), where the Popes lived for much of the 14th century. With Avignon being one of the most charming places on earth, we expect this to be a truly special workshop. --------------- Important Dates --------------- - Paper submission due: June 14, 2008 - Paper acceptance notification: July 16, 2008 - Final manuscript due: August 14, 2008 - Registration and full payment due: August 20, 2008 ----------------------- Submission Instructions & Reviewing Policy ----------------------- All papers will be included in the main conference proceedings and published by the IEEE.

Please accept apologizes if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. We request you to forward this announcement to interested students and colleagues!! Manuscript Submission Deadline: August 1, 2008 CALL FOR PAPERS-IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on: Protocols and Algorithms for Future Cross--Layer and Hybrid Optical Networks Background Recent technological advances and breakthroughs in optical devices, communication sub-systems, and network architectures have led to a profound transformation in all aspects of optical network communications. The potential for highly-scalable "on-demand" service provisioning over multilayer network infrastructures provide an opportunity for service providers to reduce OPEX/CAPEX, and increase ROI. These efforts have special significance in light of the "post-bubble" dynamics of the optical networking market. One approach has been that in order to provision high-bandwidth pipes, multiple (and independent) control protocols are used to deal with the multiple layers where control can be exercised. However, it is recognized that a more integrated approach, capable of operating in multi-domain environments as well, is needed, and hence, it is becoming increasingly important for service providers to evaluate cross-layer/cross-domain design techniques to introduce new services at lower cost and higher quality. On one hand, relying on optical transparency at the physical layer had been demonstrated to allow for dynamic and flexible optical layer with the possibility to add "intelligence". On the other hand, transparency reduces the ability of a client layer to interact with the physical layer, thus leading to limitations on network design, planning, control and management, in contexts where the assumed transparency no longer holds, e.g. IP over DWDM environments. For example, the need to account for the Physical Layer Impairment (PLI) constraints the kinds of paths that can be constructed for routing. Several cross-layer/cross-domain design approaches are emerging to solve the problems in this area, and have attracted much research interest worldwide. These solutions include PLI-aware optimization in: Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA), network design, failure recovery, optical sub-system placement, morphology of Service Level Agreements (SLAs), protocols for control plane, and dynamic provisioning techniques. Various proposed techniques rely on interactions between the networking layer and the physical layer, but a broader set of cross-layer techniques is envisioned, extending possibly beyond physical and network layers. For example, multi-layer approaches can exploit the different traffic granularities and the corresponding technologies involved to control granularity, e.g., traffic grooming, hybrid O&E switching etc. It is important to examine the interfaces between different wavelength and session granularity layers that might be used, for example, is it more meaningful for a wavelength layer and a waveband layer to interoperate in a peer-to-peer arrangement or in a client-server arrangement? In order to provision services in X (where X can be IP/GMPLS/SONET/Ethernet, etc.) over WDM (or for SONET over Ethernet architectures) it is essential to understand the interaction across various layers and to develop efficient cross-layer mechanisms in the form of algorithms and protocols that can ultimately help reduce CAPEX/OPEX, while being able to route and schedule lightpaths, to provide multi-layer resilience, etc. Furthermore, several vendors/operators are exploring possibility of developing/deploying networks along cross-domain principles, as means of integrating hybrids of wireless and optical networks to support cost-effective broadband access. Scope of Contributions The special issue will cover recent developments and solutions proposed in the area of cross-layer/cross-domain design of optical networks. The main focus here is on network and higher layer issues and not on modeling the physical layer characteristics or impairments. Specifically, within the context of cross-layer/cross-domain design for optical networks, we solicit tutorial articles, and articles with tutorial content but also presenting original research, as well as experimental results focusing on the following topics: * PLI-aware network design and RWA. * Modeling of optimization of optical sub-systems placement (e.g., amplifiers, regenerators, etc.). * PLI-aware wavelength monitoring, E2E authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). * Design and service provisioning for PLI-aware metropolitan networks. * PLI-aware control plane protocol standardization and approaches to SLA support. * Cross-layer protocol design for multi-layer (X over WDM, Ethernet over SONET, Optical Ethernet) networks. * Multi-layer fault-localization protocols and failure recovery algorithms. * Inter-layer traffic engineering, QoS support and call/session admission procedures. * Data plane and control plane issues in cross-domain hybrid (wireless/optical) networks. * Experiences from cross-layer/cross-domain optical network test-beds and field trials.

Submission deadline: May 1, 2008 Wiley Journal: Security and Communication Network (SCN) Call for Paper Special Issue: Secure Multimedia Communication Background ========== Multimedia data like images, audios or videos are different from plain text. They are often of large volumes and are compressed in order to save the storage cost and bandwidth. Due to such requirement and property, the media protection mechanisms for images, audios or videos are significantly different from the ones for text or binary data. With the recent advances in network and multimedia technology, the applications in commercial scenario become increasing crucial. There is an increasing trend in the multimedia content distribution from the central service provider to the individuals, e.g. video-on-demand, IPTV and p2p sharing. In these applications, piracy is becoming a critical issue. Solutions are needed to protect the copyright of multimedia content. During the past decades, schemes have been reported for secure multimedia communication, e.g., key management, multimedia encryption, authentication, digital watermarking, digital fingerprinting, access control and digital rights management. These techniques are able to protect multimedia content's confidentiality, integrity, ownership, traitor traceability. In addition, in different networks such as Internet, 3G wireless, DVB-H and p2p, different secure protocols and algorithms are required to provide the system security.
