-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP-Special Section of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 17:58:59 +0200 From: Polychronis Koutsakis <polk(a)telecom.tuc.gr> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************* Call for Papers Special Section on “Medium Access and Call Admission Control Algorithms for Next Generation Wireless Networks” ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Theme With the pervasive presence of mobile personal wireless computing devices, wireless communication technologies are rapidly evolving and influencing our daily way of life. The new wireless data and multimedia services that are added and supported on wireless networks alongside the traditional voice services pose formidable challenges to these networks in their effort to satisfy strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. These challenges are further exasperated by the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links (fading, noise) and user mobility. To cope with the challenges related to supporting both the existing and the ever increasing new services, next generation wireless technologies will need to fine tune and/or incorporate new sets of traffic control procedures. This special section will be focusing on two such control procedures related to wireless medium sharing and network overload. A well designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol reduces system costs by maximizing system capacity while successfully integrating different classes of traffic (e.g., voice, data, multimedia) and optimally allocating the limited radio channel bandwidth among them. Congestion control poses yet additional set of challenges to wireless network providers. Network congestion is difficult to resolve when real-time traffic, sensitive to both latency and packet loss, is present, without jeopardizing the QoS expected by the users of that traffic. Call Admission Control (CAC) is a strategy used to limit the number of call connections into the network in order to reduce network congestion, therefore enabling the system to provide the desired QoS to newly incoming as well as existing calls. The mobility of users adds challenging requirements to the Call Admission Control Mechanism. When mobile users change their point of attachment, the end-to-end path may be changed while they still expect to receive the same QoS. This implies that the new end-to-end path should also support the existing QoS (i.e., a reservation on the new path may be required). Topics of interest This highly selective special section of the ACM MC2R aims at providing a state-of-the-art reference of the current research in the fields of Medium Access Control Protocols and Call Admission Control Algorithms for next generation wireless networks. Previously unpublished, original papers of very high quality that are not currently under review by another conference or journal are solicited focusing on representative topics related to this special section, such as: > Medium Access Control Protocols and Transmission Scheduling Mechanisms. > Call Admission Control and Traffic Policing Mechanisms for wireless networks. > Channel Allocation. > CDMA/TDMA wireless systems. > QoS issues for multimedia traffic over wireless networks. > Performance evaluation of wireless networks. > Mobile service and QoS management. > Wireless multimedia services. > Handoff algorithms for mobility support. > Protocols and algorithms coping with limited bandwidth and intermittent connectivity of wireless networks. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2005. Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2005. Submission of final version: July 15, 2005. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should submit their paper electronically to the email address of one of the three guest editors. All material submitted must be in PostScript or PDF format. If using PostScript, only version 2 or later should be used, and reference only Computer Modern or standard Adobe fonts (Courier, Times Roman, or Helvetica); other PostScript type 1 and type 2 fonts may be used but must be included in the PostScript file. Type 3 fonts should not be used as they reproduce poorly in the digital library and on many printers. Paper length should be the equivalent of no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).

There will be no separate registration for the special session or the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS Press (a CD-ROM with a printed abstracts book). ************** TOPICS ************** Even though many multimedia applications are ideally suited for parallel execution, most researchers in multimedia do not benefit from the many commodity clusters and wide-area Grid systems available around the world today. Primarily, this problem is due to the lack of user-friendly tools that can effectively help non-expert parallel programmers in creating high performance multimedia applications. Clearly, the key to effective application development by non-experts in parallel computing lies in the availability of high-level programming models for multimedia processing. This special session brings together researchers and developers working on all aspects of the design of user-friendly programming models, tools, and frameworks for multimedia computing. Issues of interest include, but are not limited to: *) domain-specific programming models *) languages for multimedia computing (object-oriented, functional, ...) *) multimedia server-based approaches *) domain-specific compiler directives *) automatic parallelization *) automatic performance optimization *) performance modeling *) skeletons and algorithmic patterns *) evaluation of user-friendly tools and frameworks *) applications in user-friendly multimedia computing ************** SUBMISSION ************** Submissions for the special session should be about 4 pages long (i.e. extended abstracts) using the IEEE Proceedings style (available from: http://www.science.uva.nl/~fjseins/IEEEStyle.txt). Final versions will be restricted to 8 pages. Please submit your extended abstract in postscript or pdf format to fjseins(a)science.uva.nl using the subject "PDIVM special session paper". ************** SCHEDULE ************** Papers due: November 15th, 2004 Author notification: December 20th, 2004 Camera-ready final papers due: January 21st, 2005 Workshop (and IPDPS): (April 4th -) April 8th, 2005 ************** COMMITTEES ************** Special Session Organizer: Frank J.

The focus will be on new and emerging techniques in pattern recognition and machine learning. The conference has three specific goals: (a) The description and discussion of new techniques that will make a step change in the area; (b) The use of unconventional and often off-the-mainstream techniques to solve complex tasks; and (c) A theoretical understanding of how the nature of data impacts upon known techniques, their limitations, and comparison to each other. The conference will focus on both applied work as well as theoretical advances. It is however theoretical contribution that will underpin research and will be emphasised in the review process. The conference will be organised in Bath which is the best-preserved Georgian city in Britain, a showpiece of Georgian architecture with picturesque streets and stone-fronted houses. The Romans were captivated by the area of Bath over 2,000 years ago, when Bath was a vast green valley with a miraculous stream of endless hot water. The Roman bath and temple complex are still a world-class attraction. Beautiful and elegant, Bath enjoys many thousands of tourists from all over the world. The conference will be organized at the University of Bath. The ICAPR conference will be co-located with the International Postgraduate Conference on Pattern Analysis for Applications in Physical and Life Sciences (http://www.ipc2005.org.uk), which will be organised on the same dates at the same location.
