The Working Group is being funded as a Concerted Action / Thematic Network by the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) unit of the IST programme. The aim of iTrust is to provide a forum for cross-disciplinary investigation of the application of trust as a means of establishing security and confidence in the global computing infrastructure, recognizing trust as a crucial enabler for meaningful and mutually beneficial interactions. The forum brings together researchers with a keen interest of complementary aspects of trust, from both technology-oriented disciplines and the field of law, social sciences and philosophy. To support the interdisciplinary focus of iTrust, the 3rd iTrust Workshop offers four main sessions covering the fields Computer Science, Economy, Law, and Philosophy/Social Sciences. Each session consists of a keynote speech followed by a number of short presentations. The following lead speakers are selected: Computer Science: Prof. Dr. Joachim Biskup, University of Dortmund, Germany Economy: TBA Law: Prof. Dr. juris Olav Torvlund, NRCCL, University of Oslo, Norway, and Dr. Michael Bohne, Westfälische Wilhelsuniversität Münster, Germany Philosophy/Social Sciences: Dr. Rino Falcone, Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies, Rome, Italy Proposals for short presentations are called hereby. A short presentation will have a duration of about 10 minutes. It should be accompanied by an abstract or extended abstract of up to five pages in order to enable the iTrust Steering Committee to decide about acceptance or rejection. Moreover, a short presentation can be accompanied by a position paper which will be published within the iTrust web pages. The position paper should not exceed 10 pages. Submission Guidelines: Submit proposal for short presentation including abstract or extended abstract by email to Peter.Herrmann(a)udo.edu. Important Deadlines: Proposals for short presentations including abstract or extended abstract: September 20, 2004. Notification of acceptance: September 24, 2004.

Performance evaluation of the network with respect to the application requirements is a vital part of research in this area, where network performance is affected by different aspects at the physical, data link, network, and transport layers, all of which are intimately related to topology, energy efficiency, management, user mobility, and security issues. This workshop will focus on the area of performance evaluation of wireless networks and communication systems, spanning a wide range of issues from physical to application layer. The main objective is to evaluate relevant models, algorithms, protocols, simulation tools, and other recent advances that lead to improved understanding of the performance of wireless networks and communication systems. Topics of Interest We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various performance aspects of wireless networks and communication systems including modeling, simulation and measurement/testing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Performance of wireless local area networks, wireless personal area networks, ad hoc networks, and sensor networks * Recent standards for wireless communications (802.11, Bluetooth, 802.15 and its varieties, ZigBee, etc.), their performance and comparison * Media access control protocols and their impact on performance * Routing, broadcasting, and multicasting * Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning * TCP performance in WPANs and ad-hoc networks * User mobility modeling, mobility management, and the impact of mobility on network performance * Topology construction and maintenance, and the impact of topology changes on network performance * Interoperability, interference and co-existence of wireless networks of different standards * Performance issues of integration of WLANs and WPANs with the 3G cellular systems * Methods for analytical modeling of wireless networks * Methods and tools for wireless network simulation and performance evaluation Paper Submission Submit full papers as PDF files by email to both program chairs. The papers should not have more than twenty single-column, double-spaced pages, excluding figures, tables, and references, using a font of at least 12-point size. It is crucial that all graphical and tabular elements be placed within the text, so that the PDF file is suitable for reviewing. In addition to the paper in PDF format, your submission should include the title of the paper, the names of the authors and their affiliations, postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail address of the corresponding author, an abstract with up to 200-250 words, and up to five keywords describing the contents of the paper.

The key goals of this improvement include Quality of Service (QoS) support mechanisms, efficient channel access mechanisms, and energy saving mechanisms, etc. The effort to improve the MAC layer is linked with many technical challenges including compatibility with legacy networks, complexity in implementation, and practical values in real market, etc. The need to address QoS support, MAC enhancement, and energy saving and provide timely, solid technical contributions in the MAC layer of these networks establishes the motivation behind this special issue. This special issue focuses on the novel and practical ways to improve the MAC layer protocols in terms of QoS support, channel access, and energy saving for WLANs, WPANs, Ad Hoc Networks, and Sensor Networks. Papers that do not focus on the MAC layer will not be reviewed. Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to): Quality of Service support in the MAC layer Channel access protocols in the MAC layer Energy efficiency in the MAC layer The manuscripts should be submitted as an e-mail attachment in PDF format to Yang Xiao at yangxiao(a)memphis.edu. If the file is larger than 1MB, the authors are encouraged to use WINZIP. Submitted papers must not be previously published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers should not exceed 6000 words or 12 single spaced pages in IEEE Transactions style. If email submission is impossible then six (6) copies of the paper should be sent by the due date to: Prof. Yang Xiao Computer Science Division The University of Memphis 373 Dunn Hall Memphis, TN 38152. USA Email: yangxiao(a)memphis.edu.
