Dear Colleagues, Due to many requests, the deadline for abstract submission to RAWNET/WCN3 2009 has been extended to March 15, 2009. For more information please visit: http://www.rawnet.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET/WNC3 2009 The 5th workshop on Resource Allocation, Cooperation and Competition in Wireless Networks in conjunction with WiOpt'09 the 7th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks June 27, 2009, Seoul, Korea http://www.rawnet.org Full Papers due: March 15, 2009 (updated deadline) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Future telecommunications networks are expected to provide very high data rates, seamless connections, at higher and often heterogeneous quality-of-service levels, in scenarios with ever increasing mobility. In order to meet these requirements, new generation wireless networks go beyond the classical paradigms of cellular networks and are based on complex interactions. In this scenario, efficient allocation of the available resources and/or cooperation, and/or competition play a strategic fundamental role to increase and optimize communication performance of individual nodes or of the global network, and efficiently exploit the available frequency spectrum eventually admitting unlicensed users. This fueled a vibrant flurry of studies in cooperative communications, spectrum management (cognitive radio), and resource allocation. The investigations involve researchers and technicians from the physical, to the networking layers and above and eventually promote joint design within different layers (cross-layer design). Analysis and design of the complex interactions in future communications networks requires contributions from a variety of disciplines, which span from information theory to statistical physics, game theory, optimization, non-commutative algebras and so forth. The workshop promotes the applications of new methodologies in this field with the aim of providing the participants advanced and innovative tools able to catch the fundamental dynamics of complex interactions. It fosters the presentation of new cooperative protocols and new schemes for resource allocation, novel results in the investigation of the theoretical limits and fundamental tradeoffs between competition and cooperation. The applications can steam from any wireless scenario, from multicell networks to sensor and relay networks, cognitive radio or ad-hoc network. In fact, object of the workshop is to provide the participant with a comprehensive, thorough, and unified vision of the resource allocation issue in complex multiuser and multiprovider networks regulated by cooperation and competition. --------------------------- KEYNOTE TALKS --------------------------- * Prof. Anthony Ephremides (University of Maryland) COOPERATION AT THE NETWORK LEVEL * Prof. Gerhard Kramer (University of Southern California) CODING FOR COOPERATION AND RELAYING --------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------- * User scheduling (single cell/multicell/OFDMA/relay-multihoping network); ² Cross-layer design; ² Power-control and energy e±cient communications; ² Resource allocation-based interference mitigation; ² Cooperation schemes for interference control, coverage extension (multicell, multihop cooperation); ² Game theoretic resource allocation; ² Spectrum management, i.e. resource allocation in cognitive radio; ² Pricing based, auction based schemes in ad-hoc/cellular networks; ² Fairness vs performance issues; ² Relay selection, cooperative group optimization and resource allocation; ² Scaling laws and information theoretic bounds; ² Diversity/multiplexing trade-o®s of cooperation protocols; ² Effect of partial and incomplete channel state information in cooperative systems, and robust designs; ² Practical issues in cooperation strategies for mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks. --------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------- Submission Deadline (extended): March 15, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: April 1, 2009 Camera-ready Manuscripts: May 1, 2009 --------------------------- Submission Guidelines --------------------------- The submission will be handled electronically via EasyChair system at https://www.easychair.org/.

[Tccc] CFP: GeoSensor Networks 2009, Oxford, UK
by Andrew Markham 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS GEOSENSOR NETWORKS 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13-14 July 2009, Oxford, United Kingdom Website: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/geosensornetworks/ Sponsored by: University of Oxford Papers to be published by Springer in the "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) series. They will also be indexed electronically on SpringerLink. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Geosensor networks shift the traditional centralized paradigm of monitoring a geographical area from the macroscale to the microscale, by using distributed sensors to measure variables of interest (such as environmental, biological and chemical variables, seismic activity and geolocated videofeeds). Whilst having the ability to provide data with unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, geosensor networks have pushed the frontiers of traditional GIS research into the realms of computer science, introducing issues such as data fusion, geolocated queries, energy efficient data collection and data mining and interpretation. The incorporation of mobile devices into these networks allows data acquisition to be undertaken on a spatially varying sampling resolution, introducing new research avenues such as co-operative sensing and dynamic coverage. Furthermore, geosensor networks are not only constrained to passively monitor a region, through actuators, they also have the ability to influence or modify their environment. Research in geosensor networks spans multiple fields, ranging from strategies for intelligent data acquisition to virtual reality interactions with environmental dynamics. Of particular interest are applications of geosensor networks, such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, early warning systems and wildlife tracking. This workshop seeks to address these issues, by bringing together leading experts in a two day forum to present novel research and exchange ideas relating to the state of the art and its future directions. Real world results are particularly welcomed, as are reports of interesting or challenging deployments.

[Fwd: [Tccc] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications]
by Lars Wolf 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications Datum: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 11:32:21 +0000 Von: Joel Rodrigues <joeljr(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture, and Applications Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are designed to address networks that exhibit intermittent connectivity. In general DTN architecture can be defined by one or more of the following characteristics: (a) sparse connectivity (i. e., end-to-end route between source and destination may not even exist); (b) long or variable delay; (c) asymmetric data rate; and (d) high error rate. Such characteristics can be results of various factors, including sever power fluctuations, wireless range, network partitioning, catastrophic disasters, or malicious attacks. Consequently, applications of DTNs are highly diverse and can be expanded to a wide variety of areas. Examples of such areas are interplanetary networks for deep space communications, sensor networks for ecological monitoring, transient networks to benefit developing communities, ad hoc networks to disseminate information in tactical or roadway environments, and disaster recovery networks to restore communications following a natural disaster. Diversity of network environments and inherent uncertainty about network conditions make design of DTNs highly challenging in terms of architecture, protocol designs, interoperability, security, management, and stability. We hope this special issue can address some of these issues and further stimulate activity in the research community. The goal of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the- art research contributions that address the various aspects of delay/disruption tolerant communications, networks, architecture, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multicasting and broadcasting * Routing protocols for stochastic and deterministic time evolving networks * Integration with other systems and networks, such as free-space optical communications systems, MANET, VANET, C2C, Deep space, Acoustic Underwater, ad hoc, sensor/actuator networks * Models for rural connectivity and disconnected ad hoc networks * Multimedia and web searching * Hybrid DTN * Security, stability, survivability, and interoperability * Wireless DTN technologies, including RF, UWB, free-space optical, and acoustic * Network architecture and design, including link technology and node design * Applications, testbeds, and implementations * Management, configuration, QoS, and authentication * User mobility support, naming, and addressing * Protocols and overlay architecture * Delay tolerant networks and energy efficiency * Economic models and feasibility SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers should be submitted as PDF format electronically to joeljr(a)ieee.org with a Subject of SI/JCM. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts following the standard review process of the Journal of Communications to ensure the high quality of the special issue of the journal. Further information on Journal of Communications can be found at: http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/ .
