[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network special issue on protection, restoration, and disaster recovery]
by Lars Wolf 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network special issue on protection, restoration, and disaster recovery Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 20:18:19 -0500 From: Debanjan Saha <debanjan(a)yahoo.com> Reply-To: <debanjan(a)acm.org> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> IEEE Network Call for Papers Protection, Restoration, and Disaster Recovery http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/cfpnetwork2003.pdf Guest Editors: Debanjan Saha, Tellium, Inc. Satish Tripathi, University of California James Manchester, Tellium, Inc. Scope: Technological innovations are enabling today's networks to carry increasingly higher volumes of data, much of which is mission critical. As networks grow and become an integral part of our daily lives, the consequences of a failure become more pronounced. Even a brief outage can result in the loss of very large amounts of critical information and disrupt our day-to-day life and business. Network protection and automatic restoration can minimize the impact of network failures. Such protection mechanisms are generally implemented at several protocol layers and are the subject of this special issue. The objective of this special issue of IEEE Network Magazine is to assemble a series of state-of-the-art articles on protection, restoration, and disaster recovery in different layers of the network. In particular, we are interested in tutorial, survey, and original research articles on, but not limited to, the following topics: * Traditional SONET/SDH Ring protection mechanisms * Optical mesh protection, Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) * IP network restoration - MPLS, fast convergence of routing protocols * Protection and restoration in ATM and Frame Relay networks * Restoration in wireless and wireline telephone networks * Signaling network (SS7 etc.) protection and recovery * Disaster recovery in OSS and network management systems * Resiliency at the application layer, emergency services (e.g. 911) * Multi-tier restoration and interaction of different layers * Experimental studies, applications impact Submission Guidelines: Interested authors should submit an electronic version of the manuscript either in Postscript or PDF format as an email attachment to one of the guest editors. Additional information including "Guidelines for authors" is available at the IEEE Network Website: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html Important Dates Submission Deadline: February 15, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 2003 Final Manuscript Due: August 15, 2003 Publication Date: November/December 2003 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: Call for Papers]
by Lars Wolf 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 08:18:22 -0500 From: Chuah, Mooi Choo (Mooi) <chuah(a)lucent.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, multicomm(a)comsoc.org, itc(a)comsoc.org ***My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call*** Call for Papers Supporting Multimedia Multicast/Broadcast Services in 3G/4G Networks Special Issue of IEEE Communication Magazine Motivation Current 3G system provides point to point service. There is a strong interest to provide multimedia broadcast/multicast service over 3G network. Such multicast services allow unidirectional point-to-multipoint transmission of multimedia data (e.g. text, audio, picture, video) from a single source point to a multicast group in a multicast area. An example of a service using the multicast mode could be a football results service for which a subscription is required. Work has started in 3GPP and 3GPP2 to investigate how to enhance 3G system to provide multicast service. Many design issues need to be worked out before multicast services can be deployed in 3G systems. For an example, questions like how the 3G system admits multicast services, how the radio access network selects between the use of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio bearers to deliver MBMS services, how the network alert MBMS subscribed users on the availability of MBMS streams. Mobility management of MBMS users need to be considered too. Handoffs from one cell/Radio Network Controller to another need to be fast such that packet losses for MBMS streams are acceptable. Since users are expected to be charged for such multicast issues, authentication and security issues related to MBMS needs to be worked out. Scope In response to the above momentum, this special issue aims at providing a timely and concise update of the current activities and findings in this area. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these services. In this context, papers are solicited reporting on representative topics such as: * Enhanced 3G architecture design for MBMS services * Radio resource management strategies for MBMS services * Paging Strategy for MBMS services * Overlay WLAN/3G architecture for providing MBMS services * Airlink Scheduling for MBMS services * Power control issues for MBMS services * Security/Authentication Issues for MBMS services * Performance Studies All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Communication Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. Please submit your electronic manuscript in word or pdf format to one of the guest editors by June 30th, 2003. Earlier submissions are encouraged to allow for a better issue planning. Time Schedule Submission Deadline: July 30th, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: October 30th, 2003 Final Manuscript Due: Dec 30th, 2003 Publication Date: Feb 2004 Guest Editors Dr M.

Subject: CFP: IWQoS 2003 - Dealine approaching - Feb. 14, 2003 Date: Montag, 3. Februar 2003 20:11 From: Klaus Wehrle <wehrle(a)ICSI.BERKELEY.EDU> To: CABERNET-EVENTS(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK *CALL FOR PAPERS* ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP on QUALITY of SERVICE (IWQoS) http://iwqos03.cs.berkeley.edu/ June 2-4, 2003 Doubletree Hotel Monterey, California Supported by technical co-sponsorship by/in-cooperation with IEEE Communications Society, ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMOBILE (approval pending). Important dates: ---------------- Paper deadline: *February 14, 2003* Notification of acceptance: March 24, 2003 Final paper due: April 8, 2003 IWQoS is a successful series of workshops providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on quality of service (QoS). The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future directions and challenges, in developing practical systems where predictable and controlled performance is a central requirement. Papers are solicited on all aspects of architecture, algorithm, and protocol design for systems in which QoS requirements are important. In addition to traditional IWQoS topics such as service guarantees and admission control, papers offering research contributions related to robustness, resilience, security, and predictability in networking and distributed systems are particularly solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Scalable QoS architectures * Analytical and simulation models for QoS * QoS control for middleware * QoS-aware programming models and languages * QoS issues in overlay and peer-to-peer networks * QoS issues in ad-hoc networks * Robust and resilient systems * Content delivery networks with service guarantees * Service assurances in wireless and mobile environments * QoS support for information appliances * Modeling user and application QoS requirements * Charging, accounting, and pricing for QoS * Experiences with QoS (measurements, tests, evaluations) IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to provide fast turnaround. The deadline for papers is therefore as close to the conference as the publishers allow. In the past the workshop has been cross-disciplinary, well focused, with the emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time is devoted to informal discussion.
