-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special COMNET issue on "Interdisciplinary Paradigms for Networking" Datum: Fri, 5 Sep 2008 11:41:52 +0300 Von: Stavros Toumpis <toumpis(a)ucy.ac.cy> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu * COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL * * Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary Paradigms for Networking" * (Paper Submission Deadline, October 1st) Many recent fundamental results in communications and networking have been obtained using tools developed within other branches of science: statistical physics methodologies have been used in detection in CDMA; the understanding of phase transitions in loss networks has enabled the design of trunk reservation solutions for efficient routing in telephony; techniques from percolation and from random graph theory have been useful in understanding connectivity and coverage in ad hoc networks; Equilibria concepts from game theory represent now a commonly used tool for analyzing interactions in distributed systems and devising efficient pricing mechanisms. Based on these recent developments, it is clear that there are many other potentially useful tools and techniques developed in different scientific fields that the networking community is not aware of. With this Special Issue of Computer Networks, we aim to bring to the attention of researchers and practitioners novel interdisciplinary tools that can be successfully applied to the analysis and design of computer and communication networks. We solicit papers that innovatively use tools from other scientific disciplines in the service of understanding, analyzing, and optimizing computer and communication networks. A limited number of invited survey papers, presenting relevant tools and techniques from other disciplines, will also be considered for publication. We are particularly interested in paradigms that build on results and techniques developed in the context of: * Biology * Physics * Road traffic engineering * Utility Network Engineering * Economics and Social Systems The list is not restrictive - authors are encouraged to contact the editors before submitting a paper to determine whether the proposed submission is within the scope of the Special Issue. Manuscripts should be clearly organized, written in good English, and describe original research not published, nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers that have substantially new material with respect to previous conference versions will however be considered. For such submissions, the authors are requested to mention the original conference and specify the changes. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts according to the guidelines in the Guide for Authors, found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit them to the online submission and reviewing tool, at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing the Article Type: SI-New Network Paradigms. Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: October 1st, 2008 First Round of Review due: January 10, 2009 Second round of reviews due: June 10, 2009 Final version due: October 1st, 2009 Publication Date: June 2009 Guest Editors Eitan Altman, INRIA, France (eitan.altman(a)sophia.inria.fr) Tamer Basar, UIUC, USA (tbasar(a)control.csl.uiuc.edu) Emma Hart, Napier University, UK (e.hart(a)napier.ac.uk) Daniele Miorandi, CREATE-NET, Italy (daniele.miorandi(a)create-net.org) Aris Moustakas, University of Athens, Greece (arislm(a)phys.uoa.gr) Stavros Toumpis, University of Cyprus, Cyprus (toumpis(a)ucy.ac.cy) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network - Special Issue on Multi-hop Cognitive Networks]
by Lars Wolf 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network - Special Issue on Multi-hop Cognitive Networks Datum: Wed, 3 Sep 2008 18:19:32 +0200 Von: Matteo Cesana <cesana(a)elet.polimi.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Our apologies in case of multiple receptions IEEE Network Special Issue on Networking over Multi-Hop Cognitive Networks Background In recent years, the exponential growth of unlicensed band usage has prompted possible wireless spectrum shortage. Moreover, today's wireless networks are characterized by fixed spectrum assignment policies, which often lead to wasting large spectrum portions due to sporadic utilization of the licensed users (according to FCC, only 15% to 85% of the licensed spectrum is utilized on the average). This situation has motivated and pushed forward the development of novel low-power wireless Cognitive Radio transceivers with the capability of changing their transmitter parameters (operating spectrum, modulation, transmission power and communication technology) based on interaction with the surrounding environment. Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) based on nodes equipped with cognitive transceivers have consequently emerged as viable architectural solutions to solve current wireless network problems resulting from the limited available spectrum and the inefficiency in the spectrum usage by exploiting the existing wireless spectrum opportunistically. Scope and Contributions This special issue aims to consolidate and disseminate the latest developments and advances in the emerging area of Multi-hop CRNs, which is defined as a collection of cognitive transceiver-equipped nodes forming a multi-hop communication network. The main focus of this special issue is on networking aspects of multi-hop CRNs where the information needs to be relayed over multiple wireless links. The operation of Multi-hop CRNs is not limited to the discovery and allocation of wireless resources while avoiding service disruption for primary users. Additional tasks must be accomplished to sustain end-to-end communication, including identification of sets of relay nodes, ensuring that required bandwidth is available over all necessary links, and regulating resource sharing among all flows in the network. Most importantly, these goals must be achieved while coping with negative effects of frequent link outages due to primary user access. Preferably, the multi-hop CRN must also ensure that flow requirements, such as bandwidth, delay, and jitter bounds, are met. This special issue provides opportunities for the research community, the standardization bodies, and the industry to showcase the-state-of-the-art of the research on networking aspects of Multi-hop CRNs, implementation studies, and feasibility analyses. Moreover, since the success of CRN also depends on spectrum regulatory aspect, we also solicit critical contributions addressing the Multi-hop CRM architecture as it relates to spectrum competition under regulated, partially regulated or unregulated competitive environments. While the nature of the multi-hop CRNs necessitates high levels of interaction and dependency between the physical layer and protocols and solutions at MAC layer and above, the main focus of this special issue is the networking aspects of multi-hop CRNs. Therefore, the design of cognitive transceivers and hardware, signal processing techniques, modulation and coding methods, physical layer channel models, as well as networking issues primarily concerning single-hop CRNs fall outside the scope of the special issue. We solicit papers written in a tutorial and survey style, accessible to the non-expert, presenting the state of the art. Specifically, we seek submissions on the topics of: o Medium access control for multi-hop CRNs o Routing solutions for multi-hop CRNs o Real-time communication protocols for multi-hop CRNs o Cross-layer design of communication protocols for multi-hop CRNs o Centralized and distributed dynamic spectrum management and spectrum leasing o Performance evaluation and modeling of multi-hop CRNs o Regulatory Aspects and CRN Architectures o Experiences from testbed and proof-of-concept systems Schedule for Submission Paper Submission Deadline: November 15, 2008 Feedback to Authors: February, 15 2009 Publication of the Special Issue: Second Half of 2009 Authors must follow the IEEE Network Magazine guidelines regarding the manuscript and its format. For details, please refer to the "Author Guidelines" at the IEEE Network Magazine Web site at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html. The manuscripts must be written in English and submitted electronically in PDF format with a separate cover letter, which contains the paper title, authors, affiliations, contact information, a 250-word abstract and 3-5 keywords, via email to ieee-network-si(a)ece.osu.edu before the deadline (November 15th 2008).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] Mobile4D Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 2 Sep 2008 16:46:30 +0200 Von: Andreas J Kassler <andreas.kassler(a)kau.se> Antwort an: andreas.kassler(a)kau.se Organisation: Karlstad University An: <cost290(a)cs.tut.fi> Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 1st Workshop on Wireless Broadband Access for Communities and Rural Developing Regions Co-located at 1st International Conference on "M4D" - Mobile Communication Technology for Development", http://m4d.humanit.org/ December 11-12, 2008, Karlstad University, Sweden Sponsored by E-CLIC (EU-regional funds) ************************************************************************** Broadband internet access is at present available only to a small portion of the world's population, and there is a significant penetration discrepancy not only between different countries but also between different regions and areas within a given country. In addition, there is a growing interest on the local community and municipal levels to get broadband wireless access, but the number of options regarding network and service providers, as well as price and usage plans, is severely limited. However, affordable broadband for all is a key requirement to bridge the digital divide and to bring sustainable development to rural and developing regions as well as to support communities and municipalities. Today, existing technologies and plans for broadband access fail to address key challenges in terms of cost, deployment, or power consumption in order to bring broadband internet access to sparsely populated rural areas or to the masses of developing countries. While the focus of the general M4D conference is on multi-disciplinary research addressing the social, political, cultural and educational barriers to bringing ICT into developing regions, this workshop focuses on the technical and economical aspects of enabling (broadband) wireless internet access for rural and developing areas, as well as supporting communities and municipalities. The goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners and to serve as a forum for presenting and discussing state of the art research, exchanging ideas and experiences, and facilitating interaction and collaboration. Therefore, we are encouraging contributions including but not limited to topics listed below: * Cost-effective Rural, Urban and Community Wireless and Mesh Networks * Long distance and low power wireless network deployments * Power-Efficient Wireless Networks and Mobile Systems * Opportunistic Communication Paradigms * Social Networks meet Wireless * Planning and Deployment of Community and Municipality Wireless Networks * Business Models and Economics of Community and Rural Wireless Networks * Applications and Services for Communities, Cross-layer design for localized communication * Case Studies and Testbeds Submission Instructions Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of an extended abstract (maximum of 1000 words, in English) including figures, tables, and results that provides enough details to assess the contribution of the work. In addition to the paper submission, an abstract shall be submitted through the EDAS system using as the main conference M4D 2008 and selecting the WIRELESS4D workshop. You can use directly the SUBMIT PAPER link by no later than September 30th, 2008. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the workshop and register at regular registration rates as indicated by the main conference. Accepted contributions will be part of the M4D conference proceedings either as full paper (10 pages maximum, 11pt single space, see template) or as the extended abstract and published on this website after the conference. Participants will present their contributions as either talks (max. 20 minutes) or poster presentations.

Insbesondere entstehen, getrieben durch immer kleinere und mobilere Endgeräte, neue Anwendungsszenarien mit hohen Anforderungen an Verfügbarkeit, Langlebigkeit, Adaptivität und Selbstorganisation. Im Rahmen des GI/ITG KuVS Fachgesprächs "Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden" wurde eine Reihe von Forschungsgebieten erarbeitet, die einen wesentlichen methodischen Beitrag zu neuartigen energiebewussten Systemen leisten können. Betriebssysteme: Einzig das Betriebssystem kennt alle strukturellen Eigenschaften der darunter liegenden Hardware wie auch der laufenden Anwendungen. Somit kann es dabei die Hardwarekomponenten in den jeweils für das Gesamtsystem optimalen Betriebsmodus versetzen und die Verweildauer in den jeweiligen Betriebsmodi durch eine energiebewusste Aktivitätensteuerung beeinflussen. Drahtlose Netze: Funkübertragung ist im Vergleich zu Berechnungen oft wesentlich teurer in Bezug auf die benötigt Energie. Durch optimierte Technologien für die zuverlässige Übertragung, Vorverarbeitung und Zwischenspeicherung kann die Sende- und Empfangszeit verringert werden. Neue Kommunikationsparadigmen helfen den Aufwand für die Statusverwaltung zu minimieren. Kommunikationsprotokolle: Aufbauend auf den spezifischen Eigenschaften und Funktionen der verfügbaren Übertragungstechniken, lassen sich Kommunikationsprotokolle für energiebewusstes Arbeiten anpassen. Sogenanntes Cross-Layer-Design hilft, Verzerrungs- und Störeffekte zwischen den Protokollen der Sicherungs-, Netzwerk- und Transportschicht zu vermeiden bzw. zu minimieren. Middleware: Mit der zunehmenden Vernetzung mobiler und eingebetteter Systeme ist das energiebewusste Arbeiten von Basisfunktionalität sogenannter Middleware-Dienste, wie Kommunikation und Vermittlung, unabdingbar. Insbesondere kann auf dieser Schicht nicht isoliert gearbeitet werden. Unter dem thematischen Schwerpunkt energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden sind Beiträge zu allen relevanten Themengebieten erwünscht. Dazu gehören unter anderem aber nicht ausschließlich: - Betriebssystemunterstützung - Kommunikationsmethoden - Protokollentwurf - Simulationstechniken - Schichtenübergreifender Entwurf - Beobachtung des Laufzeitverhaltens realer Systeme Eingereichte Manuskripte sollten ca. 6 gedruckten Seiten entsprechen (eine Seite in der PIK entspricht ca. 6000 Zeichen ohne Abbildungen). Sowohl Deutsche als auch Englische Beiträge sind erwünscht. Alle eingereichten Manuskripte werden von unabhängigen Gutachtern bewertet. Einreichung der Manuskripte bitte per Email an einen der Herausgeber des Themenheftes. - Frist für die Einreichung: 1.11.2008 - Benachrichtigung: 1.1.2009 - Einreichung der druckfertigen Version: 1.2.2009 Herausgeber des Themenheftes: - Falko Dressler, Universität Erlangen (dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de) - Frank Bellosa, TH Karlsruhe (bellosa(a)ira.uka.de)
