-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] heterWMN 2010 @ Globecom 2010 Datum: Sat, 05 Jun 2010 21:51:21 +0200 Von: Waltenegus Dargie <waltenegus.dargie(a)tu-dresden.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu IEEE HeterWMN 2010 with Special Journal Issue @ IEEE Globecom 2010 5th IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks (HeterWMN 2010) http://www.rn.inf.tu-dresden.de/hwn/2010/hwm/index.html Extended versions of High quality papers will be considered for publication in the Elsevier Journal of Network and Computer Applications ---call for paper--- The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are mainly based on single-hop architecture and rely on fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. Scope Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: * Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management * Quality of services (QoS) delivery * Seamless Mobility * Robust and scalable routing protocols * MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover * Self-configuration and synchronization * Security * Topology control and management * Mobility models and location management * Cross-layer design and interactions * Modeling and performance evaluation * Algorithms for localization and signal processing * Implementation testbeds * Operating systems and middleware Organisers * Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany * Anup Kumar, University of Louisville, USA Important Dates * Submission due: July 2, 2010 (Friday) * Decision notification due: August 13, 2010 (Friday) * Camera-ready and registration due: Aug 31, 2010 (Tuesday) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Communications Journal Specialized Routing and Node Placement Protocols for Emerging Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Datum: Sun, 6 Jun 2010 14:38:33 -0500 (CDT) Von: Kemal Akkaya <kemal(a)cs.siu.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Communications Journal "Specialized Routing and Node Placement Protocols for Emerging Wireless Ad Hoc Networks" http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom ------------------------------------------------------------ With the increasing availability of various wireless devices such as sensors, cameras, actuators, routers, etc., there has been a recent trend towards the design and implementation of special wireless ad hoc networks such as Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs), Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UWSNs), Vehicular ad hoc Networks (VANETs), Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) and Wireless Underground Networks (WUNs). Inspired from traditionally well studied mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), these networks deploy specialized heterogeneous wireless nodes and are expected to be used in many real-life applications involving inter-disciplinary research. In addition to the challenges inherent to MANETs and WSNs, these emerging wireless ad hoc networks introduce new challenges at all layers of protocol stack including new forms of wireless communication (e.g., multi-channel, acoustic, underground communication), new mobility models (e.g., vehicle, underwater, actuator mobility), quality of service (QoS) (e.g., bandwidth, delay and reliability guarantees) and new node placement and self-organization techniques (e.g., cameras, mesh router, and actuator placement). Published solutions for MANETs and WSNs cannot be directly applied to aforementioned wireless ad hoc networks due to their special characteristics and constraints. This special issue will be dedicated to current state of the art routing and node placement protocols in newly emerged wireless ad hoc networks such as WMNs, VANETs, UWSNs, WMSNs, WUNs, etc. Papers describing architectures, protocols, evaluation methods, and experimental studies are solicited in the following topics of interest (not limited to): Routing in multi-radio and multi-channel ad hoc networks QoS Routing in WMNs, UWSNs, VANETs and WMSNs Network deployment, localization, and synchronization protocols Joint routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols Routing and security trade-offs Cross-layer optimization Node deployment in WMNs, WMSNs, UWSNs and WUNs Routing performance under various node deployment schemes Mobility modeling in UWSNs and VANETs Test-bed, prototype, and practical systems Important Dates: Paper submission: September 15th, 2010 Acceptance notification: December 15th, 2010 Final papers: January 15th, 2011 Guest Editors: Dr. Kemal Akkaya Department of Computer Science Southern Illinois University Carbondale Dr. Mohamed Younis Department of Computer Science & Electrical Engineering University of Maryland Baltimore County Dr. Chun Tung Chou School of Computer Science & Engineering University of New South Wales, Australia Submission Format: The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] Elsevier PMC Journal SI on "Vehicular Sensor Networks and Mobile Sensing over Wide-Scale Deployment Environments": deadline is October 30 Datum: Fri, 4 Jun 2010 14:59:20 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************************* Call for Papers Elsevier Journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing - Special Issue on "Vehicular Sensor Networks and Mobile Sensing over Wide-Scale Deployment Environments" Paper submission deadline: October 30, 2010 ************************************************************************************** The development of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) based Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is one of the most interesting and active research area nowadays, which is attracting significant efforts from both the industry and the academia, not only from the automotive and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) communities, but also from the fields of wireless and mobile sensor networks, smart environments, and mobile collaborative applications in general. In this context, many national and international collaboration projects currently ongoing practically demonstrate the relevant government, industry, and academia interest in the field. In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are becoming increasingly interesting and popular due to recent advances in inter-vehicular communication technologies and decreasing cost of communication devices. Differently from traditional wireless sensor nodes, vehicles are not typically affected by energy constraints and can easily be equipped with powerful processing units, wireless communication devices, GPS, and sensing devices such as chemical detectors, still/video cameras, vibration and acoustic sensors. Thus, they enable brand new and promising sensing applications, such as traffic reporting, relief to environmental monitoring, distributed surveillance, only to mention a few promising (and not the most visionary) service provisioning scenarios. The design, implementation, and deployment of dynamic, opportunistic, collaborative, scalable, efficient, reliable, robust, and secured mobile sensing applications for VSNs, especially over realistic and large-scale deployment environments such as municipalities, presents extraordinary challenges to the pervasive and mobile computing research community. This special issue intends to disseminate the latest research results in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in VANETs, VSNs, and mobile sensing. To this purpose, we are seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design/prototyping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: - Original algorithms and protocols for VSN mobile sensing - Original middleware and platforms for the support of VSN applications - Case studies of mobile sensing applications over wide-scale urban environments - Vehicular network architectures and protocols for mobile sensing - Intra-vehicular sensor network and integration with (possibly legacy) embedded systems - Efficient integration with wide-area networks and with municipal mesh networks - Routing, addressing, and transport-layer issues for mobile sensing - Efficient QoS support for quality-sensitive mobile sensing applications - Delay-tolerant and real-time supports for VSN mobile sensing - Data dissemination solutions for VSN mobile sensing applications - Performance, scalability, reliability, and efficiency of VSN supports and applications - Safety, enhanced navigation, and car alert supports/services - Vehicular collision avoidance using distributed sensing technologies - Human-machine interface for VSN mobile sensing applications - Mobility models and vehicle traffic models - Simulation aspects of V2V, V2I, and VSNs - Emulation and testbeds for large-scale VSNs - Practical experience with standards (802.11p, CALM, P1609, ), standard development and evolution - Security, encryption, and privacy for VSNs _Submission process: _Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue on Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Datum: Fri, 4 Jun 2010 12:11:39 +0200 Von: Laura Galluccio <lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers A Special Issue on Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks For well over a decade, the international community has invested significant effort conducting research on ad hoc and sensor networks. These networks show promise to support the development of always-on services in next generation mobile systems. Initially, it was natural to inherit the traditional layered network architecture in designing systems and services. More recently, the need to support high performance applications while coping with the limited node capabilities highlights the necessity of cross-layer design in these networks. Cross-layer design offers new opportunities to exploit the potential offered by joint optimization of design parameters, satisfy QoS requirements, among others, that cannot be addressed by traditional architecture in a satisfactory manner. However, at the current time, we lack a clear understanding of the interactions among the layers, and a comprehensive framework for cross-layer design in the network stack. Scope of Contributions The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the key aspects of cross layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks. Original manuscripts describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Architecture issues for cross-layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks -Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design -Performance optimization for cross-layer design of ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design issues for QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks -Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications -Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control -Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity -Cross-layer error and delay control -Channel access algorithms for cross-layered ad hoc communication networks -Cross-layer design of MIMO systems -Multi-user detection in cross-layer design -Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results -Software defined radio for ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design for P2P streaming -Cross-layer design for multimedia systems -Cross layer issues in vehicular networking Important dates Paper submission: August 15th , 2010 First round notification: December 15th, 2010 First round revision: January 15th , 2011 Second round notification: Febuary 28th, 2011 Final papers: March 15th, 2010 Guest Editors Laura Galluccio University of Catania lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it Klara Nahrstedt University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign klara(a)cs.uiuc.edu Violet R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] Call for Papers: tomccap special issue on Social Media Datum: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 22:02:07 +0800 Von: Xu Dong (Dr) <DongXu(a)NTU.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Xu Dong (Dr) <DongXu(a)NTU.EDU.SG> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG We apologize if you receive multiple copies. *_Call for Papers_* *ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications * /Special Issue on/* *Social Media With the rapid popularity of the Internet, increasingly rich and massive social media data (such as texts, images, audios, videos, blogs, and so on) are being posted to the web, including social networking websites (e.g., MySpace, Facebook, Orkut), photo and video sharing websites (e.g., Flickr, YouTube, fotocommunity.com, kankanchina.cn), and photo forums (e.g., Photosig.com and Photo.net). In such environments, web images, videos and audios are generally accompanied by rich contextual information, such as tag, category, title, metadata, comments, and viewer ratings. While researchers from multidisciplinary areas have proposed intelligent methods for processing social media data and employing such rich multi-modality data for various applications, it is of high interest to discover what cool research is needed and missing in this nascent field. This special issue seeks high quality and original research based on social media data. The goals of this special issue are three-fold: 1) presenting next-generation technologies for organizing, indexing, retrieving and mining such rich social media contents; 2) employing rich social media contents for multimedia content analysis, computer vision and graphics, data mining and machine learning, as well as speech recognition and natural language processing applications; and 3) enabling and empowering people in social networks. Manuscripts are solicited to address a wide range of topics in all aspects of social media, including but not limited to the following: */Social Media Content/* ² Social context-based media content analysis ² Interactive/collaborative image, video and audio search in web environment ² Machine learning and data mining methods for social media ² Large scale image, video and audio classification using social contextual cues ² Social science discovery from social media ² Social media processing based on social sciences */Social Media Applications/* ² Web driven media creation ² Collaborative systems for social media sharing ² Image, video and audio recommendation in social networks ² Organization, indexing and navigation of multimedia ² Social media-based advertisement ² Visualization of social media */Social Media Systems/* ² Privacy, authentification, and security issues in social media ² Social network enablement via media ² Behavior and community analysis in social media networks ² Distributed and collaborative storage and sharing of social media Guidelines for authors can be found at http://tomccap.acm.org/. Prospective authors should submit high quality, original manuscripts that have not appeared, nor are under consideration, in any other journals. Papers submitted to this special issue should have a distinctive title using the format: */SI-Social Media/*<*/title>/*.
