[Fwd: [Tccc] Reminder-- Special Journal Issue on Towards UbiquitousWirelessCommunication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks]
by Lars Wolf 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Reminder-- Special Journal Issue on Towards UbiquitousWirelessCommunication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2004 23:03:57 -0400 From: Nidal Nasser <nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: hossam(a)innovate.cs.queensu.ca - Reminder - Just four days left for paper submission deadline (Oct. 20)! ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing (IJWMC) https://www.inderscience.com Special Issue on Towards Ubiquitous Wireless Communication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Guest Editors Nidal Nasser and Hossam Hassanein Telecommunications Research Laboratory School of Computing, Queen’s University Kingston, ON, Canada K7L 3N6 nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:Nasser@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~nasser/ hossam(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:hossam@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~hossam/ ================================================================================ Theme: Future wireless networks will generally be characterized by heterogeneity in architecture, protocols and air interfaces. The wireless networking scene is dominated by two distinct networking platforms: (a) cellular networks, which passed through multiple generations -1G, 2G and 3G, and (b) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) championed by the IEEE 802.11 networks. Recent trends indicate that 3G networks and WLANs will co-exist to offer public wireless broadband services to end users. The two platforms offer characteristics that complement each other perfectly. The 3G cellular systems such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Code Division Multiple Access (cdma2000) will support real-time and non-real-time multimedia services with data rates from 144 kb/s to 2 Mb/s with wide coverage and nearly universal roaming. However, the costs of acquiring the necessary radio spectrum and the required network equipment upgrades are very high. This is in contrast to WLAN systems such as IEEE 802.11 a/b/g, which provide affordable services and bit rates surpassing those of 3G systems, up to 11 Mb/s with 802.11b and 54 Mb/s with 802.11a/g. However, the coverage offered by WLANs is quit limited and lacks roaming support. The complementary characteristics of 3G cellular systems (slow, wide coverage) and WLAN (fast, limited coverage) make it attractive to integrate these two technologies to provide ubiquitous wireless access. The purpose of integrating 3G systems and WLANs is to make it possible to use the best parts of both systems. High bandwidth WLANs are used for data transfer where available and 3G systems can be used where WLAN coverage is lacking. Development and standardization efforts are currently underway for defining suitable architectures for 3G/WLAN integration. However, designing a network architecture that efficiently integrates 3G systems and WLAN is a challenge task that needs a lot of research efforts. In this special issue, we intend to publish a collection of high quality papers by world leading researchers that present state-of-the-art research in the area of 3G/WLAN integration. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Mobility management 2. Seamless vertical handoff techniques between 3G and WLAN 3. Location management techniques 4. Architecture design scenarios for integrating 3G and WLAN systems 5. Network selection criteria 6. Bandwidth adaptation 7. Consistent quality of service across 3G and WLAN 8. Adaptive quality of service provisioning 9. Performance evaluation studies 10. Pricing and Billing Issues 11. Standardization activities Paper Submission: Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed 25 double spaced pages with reasonable margins and a font size of no less than 11pt, including figures and references, and should include an abstract, not to exceed 250 words. Papers should be submitted in PDF or Microsoft Word format by e-mail to 3GWLAN(a)cs.queensu.ca. Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. All papers will be peer reviewed. Schedule: Submission deadline: *October 20, 2004* Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2005 Submission of final revised manuscript: February 28, 2005 Expected date for publication: Third quarter of 2005 ============================================================== For further details information please refer to the CFP at: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~trl/ijwmc ============================================================== _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: MSAN 2005 - First International Conference on Multimedia Services Access Networks Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 17:32:35 -0400 From: Wenjing Lou <wjlou(a)WPI.EDU> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Please accept our apologies for multiple copies +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ CALL FOR PAPERS - MSAN 2005 First International Conference on Multimedia Services Access Networks Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society June 13-15, 2005, Orlando, Florida, USA http://msan.org ** SCOPE ** Access networks (the ‘last-’ or ‘first-’ mile according to provider’s or customer’s perspective) represent one of the most important parts in telecommunication systems, being responsible for the high-quality, reliable and secure delivery of services to end users. They also encompass some of the most demanding networking problems, such as the coexistence of a large variety of technologies based on both wired and wireless solutions, the need of optimal integration with the core network in terms of bandwidth and availability mismatch, the provision of an acceptable quality of service in very different application scenarios and traffic conditions. Perhaps, the most important challenge is that the design of access networks – from the analysis of requirements to the implementation and operation of the system – can only be successful if it is based on an integrated approach, taking into account the needs of different user groups, the technical constraints posed by different application technologies, as well as the related business and societal aspects. Within this framework, MSAN’05 is intended to provide a unique international forum to explore the new research frontiers in the field of current and next generation multimedia service access networks. Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient access technologies and the relevant provision of advanced multimedia applications. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST ** Topics of interest are organized in three tracks addressing respectively: access network technologies (with particular emphasis on network design methodologies, protocols, analysis of performance and quality of service); multimedia service delivery (mainly focusing on the integration/adaptation between multimedia data processing and transmission techniques and access networks characteristics); implementation, operation and performance (providing an opportunity to present innovative applications and testbeds for the above technologies, as well as new approaches to testing and performance evaluation). Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Track 1: Access technologies and networks in MSANs (technologies and protocols) - Wire-based access (PON, FTTx, xDSL) - Wireless fixed access solutions (802.11x and 802.16 networks) - Mobile and nomadic access (3G and beyond, WiFi, etc.) - Other emerging technologies (power lines, CATV, DOCSIS, FSO) - Integration/migration among different technologies (heterogeneous nets, seamless handover) - Integration with core network - Handling bandwidth and availability mismatch between optical and wireless Track 2: Delivery of multimedia services - Technologies for multimedia-multimodal services - Streaming over IP (VoIP, packet video, rate control, error control) - Scheduling and allocation of network resources (bandwidth allocation, power management, etc.) - Quality of service (at network and application level) - Terminals and devices - Security issues Track 3: MSAN implementation, operation and performance - Testbeds and laboratory experiments - Performance evaluation and measurements - Interoperability of last mile solutions - Case studies of novel networking solutions and services implemented - Application techniques, tools and experiences (e.g., health, tourism, e-government, entertainment) - Specific operation and management issues - Planning and design methodology and tools ** CHAIRS ** General Co-Chairs: Aggelos K.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Kuvs] CfP LoCA 2005 Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 16:16:50 +0200 From: Claudia Linnhoff-Popien <linnhoff(a)ifi.lmu.de> Reply-To: linnhoff(a)ifi.lmu.de, thomas.strang(a)dlr.de To: kuvs(a)tm.uka.de ** Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement ** ** Please forward to anyone who might be interested ** CfP for the International Workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness (LoCA 2005) in cooperation with Pervasive 2005 May 12-13, 2005 Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Germany http://loca2005.context-aware.org Submission Deadline: December 17th, 2004 LoCA 2005 - Call for Papers --- The goal of this workshop is to address and discuss the technical challenges, ideas, views, and research results in sensing, fusing and distributing location information as well as providing location- and context-awareness to applications and services such as navigation in pervasive systems. The workshop is a platform to propose new positioning algorithms and location sensing techniques, including new techniques and studies into the properties of existing technologies. This includes enhancements of singular systems (e.g. positioning in cellular telephone networks such as GSM; positioning in WLAN environments; etc.) as well as hybrid systems (e.g. integration of Global Navigation Satellite Systems with Inertial Positioning Systems). Improvements in sensor technology, integration and sensor fusion may be addressed either on a theoretical or on an implementation level. The genesis of nearly all kinds of dynamic location information is mobility. Mobility - in all its facets (user mobility, device mobility, session mobility etc.) - requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, as well as discovery and execution frameworks for location-aware services. Thus we invite you to submit proposals and/or experience papers in the area of mobility and its mentioned adjacencies. Context-awareness, a generalization of location-awareness, is another driver of the pervasive computing paradigm. Well designed context modeling and context retrieval approaches are key accessors to the context in any context-aware system. Thus we emphatically invite submissions dealing with issues of modeling and retrieval of context. This may also include integration aspects into service platforms and frameworks to provide location- and context-awareness to services. Personal and confidential data such as the location of the user stored on mobile devices and the location of the mobile device itself have profound implications for personal information privacy. Thus the area of protecting privacy, privacy-oriented location-aware systems, and how privacy affects the feasibility and usefulness of systems may be addressed. Example topics include privacy enablers in pervasive surveillance and sensing environments or location anonymity techniques. Scenarios and applications for location-aware computing may be surveyed and evaluated, including existing applications and aiming forwards future applications, to facilitate the deployment and everyday use of location-aware computing systems in workplaces, homes and public spaces. The workshop particularly values practical experience with design, deployment and use of location- and context-aware systems and applications, and investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and technologies. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Single Sensor Enhancements - Hybrid Sensor Systems and Sensor Fusion - Positioning and Navigation Algorithms - Mobility - Wireless Network Enhancements - Context Modelling and Retrieval - Context Provisioning Frameworks - Location and Context Information Distribution - Mobile Devices - Security and Privacy of Location and Context - Cognitive Environments - Discovery and Execution Frameworks - Scenarios and Applications This workshop is co-located with Pervasive 2005 concerning time and place, see http://www.pervasive2005.org for details. Paper Submission --- Authors are requested to submit full papers in Adobe PDF format to the EDAS system: http://edas.info/home.cgi?c=4356 All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the international program committee and additional expert reviewers from relevant research communities. All accepted papers will be contained in the workshop proceedings which will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer. Therefore submissions must conform to the LNCS LaTeX stylesheets: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html We solicit papers of up to 12 pages in LNCS style but explicitly welcome shorter papers for presentation of pointed results. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content. Important Dates --- Paper submissions: December 17, 2004 Paper notification: January 31, 2005 Camera-ready Papers: February 28, 2005 Workshop: May 12-13, 2005 Workshop Chairs: --- Thomas Strang, DLR (Germany) Claudia Linnhoff-Popien, LMU Munich (Germany) Program Committee --- Alessandro Acquisti, CMU (USA) Victor Bahl, Microsoft (USA) Christian Becker, Stuttgart University (Germany) Anind K.
