Our apologies if you have received multiple copies. The 2nd IEEE international Workshop on Heterogeneous Wireless Networks Resource Management and QoS. in conjunction with The 4th IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2008). Avignon, France on 12-14 Oct 2008. http://www.rn.inf.tu-dresden.de/hwn/2008/index.html submission: 14 June 2008 Scope ------ The fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications is expected to integrate a potentially large number of different heterogeneous wireless technologies in what could be considered a huge step forward towards universal wireless access and omnipresent computing through seamless mobility. Even though 4G standard is currently not defined, there are many current outlooks that delineate the vision of the new wireless technologies. Based on the emergent trends of mobile communication, 4G will have larger bandwidth, higher data rates, smoother and quicker handoff and will focus on guaranteeing faultless service and seamless handoff across a multitude of wireless networks. The key concept is integrating the 4G capabilities with all of the existing mobile technologies. Special maneuvers will be necessary amongst different access systems in terms of horizontal (intrasystem) and vertical (inter-system) handoff as well as seamless mobility, Quality of Service (QoS), dependability and security. In this workshop, we solicit high quality papers from leading researchers that present state-of-the-art research in heterogeneous wireless networks dealing with resource management techniques and QoS provisioning. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: # Interworking with 2.5G, 3G, and other wireless networks # QoS provisioning for heterogeneous wireless networks # End-to-End QoS Architectures # Location, Mobility and Handoff Management # Seamless vertical handoff techniques between different wireless networks # Network selection criteria # Resource management/allocation # Bandwidth adaptation # Power control and management # Load, admission, and flow control # Architecture design alternatives for heterogeneous wireless networks # Performance analysis and experimentation of heterogeneous wirelessnetworks # Pricing and billing issues # Security techniques and methods for heterogeneous wireless networks # Heterogeneous wireless networks applications and measurements # Simulation study of heterogeneous wireless networks # Scalability of heterogeneous wireless networks # Implementation and testbed experiments # Standardization activities for heterogeneous wireless networks # Heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks Paper Submission ---------------- Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Communications Magazine - Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications Datum: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 13:54:05 +0800 Von: Chin, Woon Hau <w.h.chin(a)ieee.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Submission Deadline - 15 June 2008 IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications In wireless networks, relays have been traditionally used to extend the range of communication systems. However, in recent years, other applications of relay communications have emerged. One such emerging application is to assist in the communication between the source and destination via some cooperation protocol. By controlling medium access between source and relays coupled with the appropriate modulation or coding in such cooperative schemes, it has been found that the diversity of the system can be improved. In multi-user systems, different users can also act as cooperative partners or relays to share resources and assist each other in information transmission, thereby creating a cooperative network. One other emerging application is the exchange of information between multiple users through relay(s). In such cases, by exploiting the knowledge of one's own transmitted signal, the throughput of these systems can be drastically increased. For cooperative and relay communications, the MAC layer also has many unique features. The MAC in this case, is concerned with more than one hop communication, is distributed and cooperative and works for multipoint-to-multipoint communication. The MAC also needs to have knowledge about network topology and account for node mobility. Accordingly, a new design of the MAC layer has to be devised to include new functionalities as well as MAC layer routing. With the large benefits to be reaped from employing cooperative and relay techniques, several standardization groups, such as IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.11, have started standardization processes to include such technologies into their prevailing standards. These efforts will no doubt attract even more interests from the academia and industry, advancing cooperative and relay technologies even further in the coming years. With interests from both the research and industrial communities gaining momentum, there is an urgent need to better understand as well as to keep track of cutting edge research in cooperative and relay communications. We plan this special issue to help address that need, as well as to help researchers looking to jump on the bandwagon. Therefore, the special issue will focus on recent advances as well as survey papers in cooperative and relay communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following topics: . Cooperative algorithms and protocols . Partner(s) selection in cooperative relay and routing . Cooperative resource allocation and management . Relay strategies for cooperative communications . Cooperative and relay technologies applied to WLAN, WMAN and cellular networks . Multidirectional relaying . Distributed coding and modulation . Multiple antenna systems and protocols for cooperative communications . Information theoretic aspects of cooperative communications . MAC issues and MAC layer routing . Cross-layer approaches for joint PHY and MAC optimization Schedule: Full manuscript due: June 15, 2008 Acceptance notification: October 1, 2008 Final manuscript due: December 1, 2008 Publication date: February 2009 Submission: Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP ReArch'08 Datum: Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:21:17 +0200 Von: marcelo bagnulo braun <marcelo(a)it.uc3m.es> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Sorry if multiple copies are received ------------------------------------------------------------- ReArch’08 - Re-Architecting the Internet “Exploring what is broken with the Internet architecture and how to fix it.” Madrid, Spain 9 December, 2008 co-located with ACM CoNEXT'2008 sponsored by ACM Sigcomm http://www.sigcomm.org/co-next2008/rearch.html Motivation The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, operational and management requirements, business models, security mechanisms and scalability enablers give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regard to the original design principles. While these mechanisms are necessary for Internet operation under current economical, technical and social conditions, their combination has significantly reduced the potential for incremental evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. This workshop will discuss what the real underlying problems are with the Internet and how we might fix them so that the Internet architecture re-gains its simplicity and transparency and is fit for another 30+ years, so that the architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet can be regained and retained for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze, and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'08 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, how the following impact on that architecture: New networking paradigms New business models New routing architectures New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms Measurements and analysis that characterize the real architectural limitations New architecture proposals and their implications for research New protocols that address the limitations Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture Principles of evolving future architectures Requirements for interworking with the existing Internet, and for deployability. Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked. Submissions must be original and not already published in any other conference proceedings or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most 6 pages long (including figures, tables, references, etc.) in the standard ACM double column format. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submissions will be done via EDAS.
