(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS NetEval 2009 - The First Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Next-Generation Networks April 26, 2009 Boston, MA, USA http://cans.uml.edu/neteval2009.html Co-located with IEEE ISPASS'09 http://www.ispass.org/ispass2009/ The design and prototyping of the next-generation Internet has been an active research area in the networking community. Significant efforts have been devoted to revise many aspects of current network design including network architecture, network protocols, security and privacy, and service abstractions. The development of experimental network testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab, Emulab, GENI, etc.) has allowed researchers to evaluate and verify innovative designs through realistic experiments at a global scale. The design of the next-generation Internet also draws a great deal of interest from the computer architecture research community. The introduction of virtualization and programmability in router systems requires high performance embedded processing elements. Network processors, FPGAs, and multi-core processors play important roles in modern routers and switches. The expanding functionality of the next-generation Internet and the increasing complexity of its router systems pose a novel challenge for performance evaluation. Researchers and developers involved in designing and implementing new network architectures, router systems, and network applications need the ability to thoroughly evaluate and quantitatively compare the performance of these systems. Currently, there are no established evaluation methodologies, benchmark network topologies, or application workloads to guide the performance evaluation process in next-generation networks. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the networking, computer architecture, and performance evaluation communities to describe, discuss, and advance the state of the art in performance evaluation of next-generation networks. The workshop solicits papers that cover analytic, simulation-based, and measurement-based performance evaluation topics in this area. Since this workshop focuses on next-generation networks, we envision that papers relate to either 1. performance evaluation techniques in next-generation networks or 2. specific performance evaluation studies of next-generation networks and their systems. *** Topics *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Performance evaluation techniques for next-generation networks. * Active and passive measurement in next-generation networks. * Design and prototypes of network measurement systems and tools. * Performance metrics, analysis, and optimization for next- generation networks. * Performance evaluation of network processing systems based on network processors, FPGAs, or multi-core processors. * Performance studies of high performance and programmable routers * Benchmarks of next-generation network applications * Performance techniques and studies related to network virtualization. * Performance techniques and studies related to network security. * Performance techniques and studies related to cross-layer optimization. * Performance evaluation related to GENI and other next- generation network testbeds. * Prototypes and techniques for network trace collection and analysis in next-generation networks *** Submission Instructions *** The workshop welcomes original papers from academia and industry on work related to the above topics. Position papers are welcome and should be identified as such in the title. Submissions must not exceed 6 pages in length, must follow the IEEE conference paper formatting guidelines for US letter page size (http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confer enceTemplates.html), and must be submitted as PDF file. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal.

V-Winets and V-ITS aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption with many potential applications. For instance, vehicular safety applications include automatic collision notification, heavy fog detection and notification, remote diagnostics, emergency management, and other assistances for safe driving. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion notification, location-based driver information services, high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile high speed Internet access, in-place traffic view, and many others. To facilitate these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications for V-Winet and V-ITS to provide timely information or Internet access to vehicles, drivers, and passengers. Consequently, V-Winet and V-ITS need to integrate existing networking technologies, such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11p, DSRC, 3G, IEEE 802.16, Bluetooth, Sensor networks, and ZigBee for easy, accurate, effective and simple communications among vehicles, users, and infrastructure networks. This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality, original, unpublished research covering all aspects of V-Winet and V-ITS communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the followings: - Network Architecture of V-Winet/V-ITS - V-Winet/V-ITS Services and Applications - Cooperative Aspects of V-Winet/V-ITS - Availability and Scalability Issues in V-Winet/V-ITS - Mobility, Traffic Models and Network Management for V-Winet/V-ITS - Cross-layer Optimization Techniques for V-Winet/V-ITS - Modulation, Coding, and Channel Modeling for V-Winet/V-ITS - Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Roadside Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication Protocols - Simulation Framework and Real-World Testbeds for V-Winet/V-ITS - Driving Safety and Related Applications and Services - Green Technologies and V-Winet/V-ITS Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, previously unpublished work.

The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN · Distributed source coding in WMSN · Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN · Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3. Emerging WMSN technologies * Hardware platform * Physical layer technologies * Energy harvesting technologies 4. Effective and energy-efficient protocols for WMSN * Real-time and reliable multimedia streaming * Routing and medium access control * Topology control and synchronization protocols * Energy efficient traffic management * QoS provisioning protocols 5.

Extend submission deadline of EVICS 2009
by Lars Wolf 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

The submission deadline of the EVICS 2009 has been extended to 2 March 2009. The workshop is intended to build a platform to discuss open issues related to IVC based improvements of the environmental impact of traveling vehicles. Furthermore, social networking aspects represent the second main topic of the workshop (we believe that both are well connected). EVICS is part of IEEE WoWMoM and, thus, IEEE sponsored. ------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Environmental and Social Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems (EVICS) !!! Extended Submission Deadline: 03/02/2009 !!! http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/evics2009/ held in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2009 June 19, 2009, Kos, Greece Aims and Scope -------------- The establishment of network connections among vehicles and between vehicles and an existing network infrastructure is one of the most challenging research fields in the networking domain. Vehicles can be seen as a mobile communication infrastructure with strong dynamics w.r.t. network topology and changing communication channel conditions. The applications are manifold ranging from comfort services, e.g. traffic information systems, to safety applications, e.g. emergency warnings. Until now, the development of protocols was primarily inspired by existing Internet solutions and the advances in mobile ad hoc networking. However, the specific characteristics of vehicular networks may require quite different communication paradigms. For example, the nodes usually do not have severe power and form factor constraints, and they might be always on. On the other hand, wireless connections may not be stable for a longer time period and the network density is expected to vary from spa! rse to very dense networks. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for novel solutions and services looking into V2V and V2I communication issues focusing on environmental aspects such as optimized CO2 emission, and road traffic shaping, i.e. optimized usage of available routes for all vehicles. Furthermore, con-cerning the drivers or users of vehicles, the service aspect is especially challenging in public trans-portation and for fleet management. The workshop will highlight the latest achievements in the research area of vehicular communication, with the goal of bringing together the different research communities. We especially target protocols and solutions besides simple "802.11+MANET" based solutions and explicitly encourage submission of scientifically sound experimental work. Authors are required to center their work around the environmental and social impacts of IVC and clearly state in the abstract how one or more of these issues are addressed in the paper. We are looking for both technical and position papers presenting new applications for IVC that we have not seen so far, and new ways to exploit existing communication techniques for more efficient IVC. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication * Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC) and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) * Exploiting IVC and intra-vehicular networks for improved safety * IVC for reduced CO2 emission and road traffic shaping * IVC algorithms, protocols, and services (MAC, routing, data dissemination, Internet-connectivity) * IVC related security, safety, and privacy issues and conflicts * Mobility modeling and simulation environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2009 proceedings, hence manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (max. 6 pages, IEEE 8.5x11 conference format). Submission will be handled by EDAS (<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7217&>). Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline (extended): March 2, 2009 Paper Acceptance Notification: April 1, 2009 Camera-Ready Paper Submission: April 10, 2009 Workshop Organizing Committee ----------------------------- * Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany, dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de * Jörg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland, jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi * Eylem Ekici, Ohio State University, USA, ekici(a)ece.osu.edu
