by Mieso Denko 08 Jun '08

08 Jun '08

--------------------------------------------------------- Apologies if you received multiple copies of this posting. --------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special issue on: Ubiquitous Wireless Mesh Networks International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS), Wiley, indexed by SCIE http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117946196/grouphome?CRETRY=1&SRE… Wireless mesh networks are becoming promising communication technologies for broadband wireless access by providing wireless backbone to mobile devices over multi-hop wireless communication systems. This emerging technology has a great potential for ubiquitous wireless network access anywhere and anytime. A number of wireless networking and communication technologies that support ubiquitous wireless services and applications are currently in wide spread use. Wi-Fi and WiMax based wireless mesh networks are examples of such technologies currently under deployment, fostering broadband wireless network access and supporting different communication ranges. While these technologies provide flexible communication compared to wired networks and single hop communication models, they are still restricted to the existing wireless backbone coverage. The convergence of ubiquitous computing and networking with wireless and mobile networking technologies opens a path to a prom! ising opportunity for ubiquitous wireless mesh networks and services. Indeed, this provides a great potential for enabling ubiquitous wireless network access in the next generation mobile networks. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of networks, devices, and services, ubiquitous multi-hop wireless access technology introduces new research challenges in all areas of network protocol stack, including security, interoperability and performance challenges. The aim of this special issue is to publish state-of-the-art research results in the area of ubiquitous wireless mesh networks, with focus on innovative architectures, networking protocols, communication models, services and applications. Manuscripts relating to these issues will be invited from researchers working in these areas worldwide. Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited, to the following: Ubiquitous and autonomic middleware Experience with the deployment of wireless mesh networks for ubiquitous access Unique challenges and future trends Ubiquitous wireless Internet access and services Self-organization and self-management Wireless mesh network support for ubiquitous computing Localization, synchronization, and mobility Routing, multicasting and broadcasting protocols Cross-layer design and optimization Experimental testbeds, prototypes, and practical systems Quality of service provisioning Methods and tools for visualization and monitoring Performance modeling and simulations Mobility support in wireless mesh networks Architectures, protocols, and algorithms Security, privacy, and trustworthiness issues.

[Tccc] CfP IEEE JSAC SI on Bio-inspired Networking
by Falko Dressler 08 Jun '08

08 Jun '08

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) BIO-INSPIRED NETWORKING Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of massively networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally distributed and unsupervised way. Recently, a number of approaches inspired by biological mechanisms and phenomena have been proposed as a strategy to handle the complexity of massively distributed systems such as the Internet, or wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The goal of bio-inspired approaches is to discover and to adapt biological methods to technical solutions that are showing similarly high stability, adaptability, and scalability as biological entities often have. This special issue intends to highlight the latest achievements in the new research domain of bio-inspired networking. In particular, the issue focuses on methodologies for identifying relevant biological mechanisms, the modeling of these mechanisms, and their application to technical solutions. Prospective articles are expected to outline either proof of concept studies with direct comparison to classical technical solutions, or theoretical mathematical models of biological principles associated with fundamental challenges in communication systems. For this special issue, we consider all techniques with direct biological background including animal learning strategies, self-organizing methods as observed from swarms down to nano-structures that are observed and analyzed in molecular biology. Classical complex systems research is explicitly excluded from the scope whereas a comparison to well-known techniques in this domain is appreciated. This special issue is dedicated to bio-inspired approaches addressing various aspects of networking and communication systems. The topics of interest include the following domains: • Self-organizing communication systems • Evolutionary and adaptive systems and protocols • Scalable systems and protocols • Self-learning algorithms • Self-healing systems and protocols • Security mechanisms • Network algorithms and protocols • Scalable and adaptive network architectures • Congestion control mechanisms • Performance evaluation of bio-inspired networks Original unpublished contributions, and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to IEEE-JSAC guidelines. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via email to dressler(a)ieee.org according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: March 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2009 Final Manuscript due to Pub: December 1, 2009 Publication: 2nd quarter 2010 Guest Editors • Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany (dressler(a)ieee.org) • Tatsuya Suda, University of California, Irvine, USA (suda(a)ics.uci.edu) • Iacopo Carreras, Create-Net, Italy (iacopo.carreras(a)create-net.org) • Masayuki Murata, Osaka University, Japan (murata(a)ist.osaka-u.ac.jp) • Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK (Jon.Crowcroft(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) -- Dr.-Ing.
