Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) SI on IEEE 802.11e, p protocol families
by Lars Wolf 29 Mar '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) SI on IEEE 802.11e, p protocol families Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:09:25 -0400 Von: Vojislav Misic <vmisic(a)ryerson.ca> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS A SPECIAL ISSUE of Ad Hoc Networks journal on "Recent advances in analysis and deployment of IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p protocol families" Guest editors: Jelena Misic, Ryerson University Vojislav B. Misic, Ryerson University INTRODUCTION ============ In the past several years, analysis of various aspects of IEEE 802.11e has resulted in large number of contributions. Researchers have addressed saturation and non-saturation conditions of Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) function, internal vs. external contention, Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF), Transmission Opportunity (TXOP), Block Acknowledgement and Admission Control. However, due to the complexity of the standard there are still several areas that are not well investigated and not well understood, including interaction among protocol functions, interaction with higher protocol layers, interaction caused by multi-hopping, and interaction with other wireless technologies such as personal area networks and wireless sensor networks. A related protocol, IEEE 802.11p, is designed for wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE), with higher layers supported by the recent IEEE standards 1609.1, 1609.2, 1609.3 and 1609.4. IEEE 802.11p differs from IEEE 802.11e in several important aspects, including lack of HCF and TXOP functionality. It is unique because it allows multi-channel operation and aggressive differentiation among traffic classes. Given the non-uniform node density in vehicular applications, it becomes crucial to avoid the saturation regime. Deployment of IEEE 802.11p in VANETs will require one-hop broadcasting as well as unicasting and multi-hop communications; as this will definitely affect all higher layer protocols, their interaction has to be carefully investigated. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to promote further research interests and activities on IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p protocols. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers in all currently not-investigated aspects of those protocols. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Multi-hopping with IEEE 802.11e or IEEE 802.11p; - Interconnection between personal area networks/ wireless sensor networks with IEEE 802.11e, and IEEE 802.11p; - Interaction between protocol functions e.g. HCF and EDCA; - Admission control in IEEE 802.11e or IEEE 802.11p with multiple protocol functions; - Interaction of higher protocol layers with IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.11p; - Multi-channel operation of IEEE 802.11p (WAVE); - Impact of IEEE 802.11p on infotainment applications in WAVE; - Modeling of Wireless Short Message Protocol over WAVE and interaction with TCP/UDP used for infotainment applications; - Impact of IEEE 802.11p on security functions in VANET. PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Submit full papers via automated paper submission system at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/. Make sure you select "Special Issue: IEEE 802.11e/p" when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. The papers must be less than twenty single-column double-spaced pages, excluding figures, tables, and references, using a 12-point font size.

Ammari: Hofstra University, NY, USA E-mail: Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu <mailto:Habib.M.Ammari@hofstra.edu>, URL: http://people.hofstra.edu/Habib_M_Ammari/ Subject and Purpose of the Workshop We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which make it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time the physical environment and to collect the relevant data. For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guidelines and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ADAMUS'10 - Fourth Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble, Mobile Ubiquitous Systems - within ACM ICPS Datum: Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:31:58 +0200 Von: Luca Foschini <luca.foschini(a)unibo.it> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers __________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 4th Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mobile Ubiquitous Systems ADAMUS 2010 In conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS'10), to be held in Berlin, Germany, July 13-16, 2010 ICPS '10 web site : http://www.dai-labor.de/icps/ ADAMUS web site : http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ ADAMUS 2010 Best Papers will be invited to extend for possible publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS, www.igi-global.com/IJARAS) WORKSHOP SCOPE __________________________________________________________________ The vision of mobile and ubiquitous systems is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in wireless communication and device miniaturization. The wide-spread industrial uptake of these sy- stems is however compromised by the abrupt changes and challenging dependability requirements imposed by the highly error-prone and heterogeneous mobile provisioning environment. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and envi- ronments, a variety of research studies have produced supporting methods, proof-of-concept prototypes, and disciplines. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the chal- lenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emer- ging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile social networks, smart urban mobility, wireless control of robots, and healthcare. The ambition and mission of ADAMUS is to put on the foreground all above issues and to foster the exchange of ideas and lively discussion in order: to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop mobile ubiquitous systems; to devise conceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to provide analytical and simula- tion tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost-effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last three editions, ADAMUS 2010 aims at serving as a meeting ground and common platform of discus- sion for research and industrial bodies in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose ori- ginal and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable appli- cations over mobile environments. The main topics of the Workshop include, but are not limited to the following: - Dependability & adaptation requirements, and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; - Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependa- ble and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; - Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based in- frastructures; - Context-aware service adaptation for mobile clients; - Frameworks and techniques enabling advanced/demanding applica- tions on mobile ubiquitous systems; - Human-machine interaction and usability; - Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; - Cross-layer adaptation techniques; - End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile services; - Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; - Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; - Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiquitous systems; - Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation to networks conditions; - Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services; - Experience on real-world applications or prototypes of mobile ubiquitous systems. PAPER SUBMISSION __________________________________________________________________ ADAMUS 2010 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in ACM double-column proceedings style.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: MobiCPS 2010 - The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems Datum: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 19:12:31 +0800 Von: Feng XIA <f.xia(a)ieee.org> An: itc(a)comsoc.org [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] CALL FOR PAPERS MobiCPS 2010 - The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems http://www.cpschina.org/mobicps In conjunction with UIC2010 Xi'an, China 26-29 October, 2010 We are currently on the brink of a revolutionary transformation from stand-alone embedded systems to ubiquitous cyber-physical systems (CPS) that bridge the virtual world of computing and communications and the real world. Cyber-physical systems are tight integrations of computation, networking, and physical objects, in which embedded devices are networked to sense, monitor and control the physical world. It is believed that CPS will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. In particular, there is a trend to build CPS upon wireless and mobile networks as a consequence of unprecedented proliferation of these technologies in recent years. In addition to wireless sensors and actuators, the number of mobile devices that can support wirelessly networked cyber-physical applications has exploded. Some usual examples include smartphones, PDAs, autonomous robots, wearable computers, among others. Ubiquitous applications and services enabled by mobile CPS are opening up great opportunities for improving the quality of our daily life. To fully explore the potential of mobile CPS, however, significant challenges are yet to be overcome. MobiCPS 2010 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present innovative ideas and results on all aspects of mobile cyber-physical systems, including theoretical foundations, techniques and methods, tools and platforms, prototypes, and practical applications. Besides research papers, the workshop will feature Invited Talks and a Panel Discussion session. The workshop will be held in Xi'an, China in October 2010, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC2010) (http://www.nwpu.edu.cn/uic2010/). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of CPS - Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical interaction - Sensing and actuation policies - Distributed computing and control - Architectures, design methodologies and tools for mobile CPS - Mobile devices and embedded software platforms for cyber-physical computing - Mobile cyber-physical applications and services - Energy-efficient (green) computing and communications - Wireless networking and communications - Wireless sensor networks - Mobile and participatory sensing - Location-based services - Internet of things - Information consensus - Trust, security, and privacy - Validation, testing, and certification - Prototypes, testbeds, practical experiences, and case studies - Emerging applications in healthcare, transportation, automation, environment, etc. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submissions due: 30 May 2010 Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2010 Camera ready version due: 30 July 2010 Workshop date: TBA SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers that must not have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.
