Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 6 camera-ready pages in IEEE conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:50:57 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. ***** Extended Deadline: 15 June 2010 ***** Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Recent trends in consumer networking are that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities….indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications. Example communications technologies include the emergence of 3G and 4G, LTE and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultrawideband, TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. With these networks we can expect a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology and spectrum policy communities.

Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ============== CALL FOR PAPERS NPSec 2010 6th Workshop on Secure Network Protocols Kyoto, Japan, October 5, 2010 In conjunction with ICNP 2010 (Kyoto, Japan, October 5-8, 2010) http://webgaki.inf.shizuoka.ac.jp/~npsec2010/ === Scope === The 6th workshop on Secure Network Protocols (NPSec2010) is a one-day event held in conjunction with the 18th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP 2010). NPSec2010 focuses on two general areas. The first focus is on the development and analysis of secure or hardened protocols for the operation (establishment and maintenance) of network infrastructure, including such targets as secure multidomain, ad hoc, sensor or overlay networks, or other related target areas. This can include new protocols, enhancements to existing protocols, protocol analysis, and new attacks on existing protocols. The second focus is on employing such secure network protocols to create or enhance network applications. Examples include collaborative firewalls, incentive strategies for multiparty networks, and deployment strategies to enable secure applications. NPSec 2010 particularly welcomes new ideas on security in the context of future Internet design, such as architectural considerations for future Internet security and new primitives for supporting secure network protocol and application design. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Security in future Internet architectures (role of security in future architectures, integrating security in future protocols and applications) * Secure and/or resilient network protocols (e.g., internetworking/routing, MANETs, LANs and WLANs, mobile/cellular data networks, P2P and other overlay networks, federated trust systems, sensor networks) * Vulnerabilities of existing protocols and applications (both theoretical and case studies), including attacks * Key distribution/management * Intrusion detection and response * Incentive systems for P2P systems and manet routing * Secure protocol configuration and deployment * Challenges and security protocols for social networks === Important dates === * Abstract submission: June 11, 2010 (11:59pm PDT) * Paper submission: June 18, 2010 (11:59pm PDT) * Notification of acceptance: July 30, 2010 * Camera ready version: August 20, 2010 === Organizers === NPSec Steering Committee: * Sonia Fahmy, Purdue University, USA (chair) * George Kesidis, Penn State University, USA * Cristina Nita-Rotaru, Purdue University, USA * Gene Tsudik, UC Irvine, USA Technical Program CCommittee Chairs: * Andreas Terzis, Johns Hopkins University, USA * Masakatsu Nishigaki, Shizuoka University, Japan Publicity Chair: * Reza Curtmola, New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA Web and Proceedings Chair: * Ayumu Kubota, KDDI R&D Labs., Japan === Technical Program Committee === * Reza Curtmola, New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA * Yoshiaki Hori, Kyushu University, Japan * Heejo Lee, Korea University, South Korea * Jun Li, University of Oregon, USA * Dan Massey, Colorado State University, USA * Jelena Mirkovic, USC/ISI, USA * Yutaka Miyake, KDDI R&D Labs., Japan * Kazuya Ohkouchi, Hitachi Ltd., Japan * Dan Pei, AT&T Research, USA * Takamichi Saito, Meiji University, Japan * Yoshiaki Shiraishi, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan * Jungsuk Song, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan * Ken'ichi Takahashi, Institute of Systems, Information Technologies and Nanotechnologies (ISIT), Japan * Lan Wang, University of Memphis, USA * Ilsun You, Korean Bible University, South Korea * Beichuan Zhang, University of Arizona, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Globecom - SaCoNAS Datum: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 08:57:37 +0000 (GMT) Von: Scott Fowler <scott_fowler(a)ymail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu **** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP***** ============================================ Call for papers IEEE International Workshop Towards Smart Communications and Network technologies applied on Autonomous Systems (SaCoNAS) Miami, Florida, USA December 2010 http://sites.google.com/site/saconasglobecom2010/home ============================================ SCOPE ----- The scope of this workshop targets the recent overlap of the latest advances between both autonomous systems, including robots, and new network technologies. On one hand, autonomous applications embedded in automatic environments have rapidly expanded from classical industrial ones to applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely and on the other hand communication technologies have also known a great growing development related to sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, wireless networks, etc. Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of the potential scenarios of convergence between robotic systems and network technologies. These applications, which are based on high-level commands and in order to accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support, control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital challenges that limit substantially any successful robotic application, network paradigms should also take into account issues related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and network technologies devoted for different applications. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, and protocols will elicit particular attention. The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Autonomous manipulation using service robots - Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks (energy efficiency, collision-free, low-power, etc.) - Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields - Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart textile clothes and wearable robots applications - Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics - Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications - Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition - Applications of Autonomous Behavior - Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems - Assistive robotic technology - Energy optimization of autonomous systems - Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment - Context awareness using sensor networks - Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems - Real-time network based structure using sensors, actuators and transducers, etc. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed and we will select papers based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented and at least on author needs to register for the paper to be included in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication anywhere else.
