16 Nov '08

***************** *Extended Deadline - Nov. 28* ****************** ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= The First Workshop on Scenarios for Network Evaluation Studies (SCENES 2009) http://www.scenes-workshop.org Rome, Italy March 6th, 2009 to be held in conjunction with SIMUTools 2009. CALL FOR PAPERS For the reliable performance evaluation of wireless networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. 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 Papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages in ACM conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the SCENES website. All submissions will be handled via EDAS: http://edas.info/7006 IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission deadline: Nov. 28, 2008 Notification of acceptance: Jan. 6, 2009 Camera-ready paper due: Jan. 25, 2009 COMMITTEE: Program Chairs: Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany Tracy Camp, Colorado School of Mines, USA Technical Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Christian Bettstetter, University of Klagenfurt, Austria Marco Conti, Istituto di Informatica e Telematica, Pisa, Italy Mario Gerla, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Ahmed Helmy, University of Florida, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St Andrews, Scotland Edward Knightly, Rice University, USA Robin Kravets, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA Christoph Lindemann, University of Leipzig, Germany Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge, UK Mirco Musolesi, University of Cambridge, UK Matthias Paetzold, University in Agder, Norway Maria Papadopouli, University of Crete, Greece Gerard Rowe, University of Auckland, New Zealand _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] Deadline Extension - IEEE Network- SI on Multi-Hop Cognitive Networks
by Matteo Cesana 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Due to numerous requests the deadline of the following IEEE Network special issue has been extended to December, 2 Our apologies in case of multiple receptions IEEE Network Special Issue on Networking over Multi-Hop Cognitive Networks Schedule for Submission New Paper Submission Deadline: November 15, 2008 December 2, 2008 Feedback to Authors: February, 15 2009 Publication of the Special Issue: Second Half of 2009 Background In recent years, the exponential growth of unlicensed band usage has prompted possible wireless spectrum shortage. Moreover, today's wireless networks are characterized by fixed spectrum assignment policies, which often lead to wasting large spectrum portions due to sporadic utilization of the licensed users (according to FCC, only 15% to 85% of the licensed spectrum is utilized on the average). This situation has motivated and pushed forward the development of novel low-power wireless Cognitive Radio transceivers with the capability of changing their transmitter parameters (operating spectrum, modulation, transmission power and communication technology) based on interaction with the surrounding environment. Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) based on nodes equipped with cognitive transceivers have consequently emerged as viable architectural solutions to solve current wireless network problems resulting from the limited available spectrum and the inefficiency in the spectrum usage by exploiting the existing wireless spectrum opportunistically. Scope and Contributions This special issue aims to consolidate and disseminate the latest developments and advances in the emerging area of Multi-hop CRNs, which is defined as a collection of cognitive transceiver-equipped nodes forming a multi-hop communication network. The main focus of this special issue is on networking aspects of multi-hop CRNs where the information needs to be relayed over multiple wireless links. Multi-hop CRNs responsibility is not only limited to the discovery and allocation of wireless resources while avoiding service disruption for primary users. Additional tasks must be accomplished to sustain end-to-end communication, including identification of sets of relay nodes, ensuring that required bandwidth is available over all necessary links, and regulating resource sharing among all flows in the network. Most importantly, these goals must be achieved while coping with negative effects of frequent link outages due to primary user access. Preferably, the multi-hop CRN must also ensure that flow requirements, such as bandwidth, delay, and jitter bounds, are met. This special issue provides opportunities for the research community, the standardization bodies, and the industry to showcase the-state-of-the-art of the research on networking aspects of Multi-hop CRNs, implementation studies, and feasibility analyses. Moreover, since the success of CRN also depends on spectrum regulatory aspect, we also solicit critical contributions addressing the problem of managing the competition in spectrum access under regulated, partially regulated or unregulated Multi-hop CRN architectures. While the nature of the multi-hop CRNs necessitates high levels of interaction and dependency between the physical layer and protocols and solutions at MAC layer and above, the main focus of this special issue is the networking aspects of multi-hop CRNs. Therefore, the design of cognitive transceivers and hardware, signal processing techniques, modulation and coding methods, physical layer channel models, as well as networking issues primarily concerning single-hop CRNs fall outside the scope of the special issue. In addition to original research articles, we also solicit survey and position articles in the area of networking aspects of multi-hop CRNs. These topics include, but are not limited to: o Medium access control for multi-hop CRNs o Routing solutions for multi-hop CRNs o Real-time communication protocols for multi-hop CRNs o Cross-layer design of communication protocols for multi-hop CRNs o Centralized and distributed dynamic spectrum management and spectrum leasing o Performance evaluation and modeling of multi-hop CRNs o Regulatory Aspects and CRN Architectures Schedule for Submission Paper Submission Deadline: November 15, 2008 December 2, 2008 Feedback to Authors: February, 15 2009 Publication of the Special Issue: Second Half of 2009 Authors must follow the IEEE Network Magazine guidelines regarding the manuscript and its format. For details, please refer to the "Author Guidelines" at the IEEE Network Magazine Web site at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html. The manuscripts must be written in English and submitted electronically in PDF format with a separate cover letter, which contains the paper title, authors, affiliations, contact information, a 250-word abstract and 3-5 keywords, via email to ieee-network-si(a)ece.osu.edu before the deadline (November 15th 2008).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS , Delay Tolerant Networks: Protocols and Applications Datum: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 11:46:22 +0200 Von: Thanos Vasilakos <vasilako(a)ath.forthnet.gr> An: <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <tccn(a)comsoc.org> Call for Book Chapter Title: Delay Tolerant Networks: Protocols and Applications (to be published by <http://www.taylorandfrancisgroup.com/> Auerbach Publications, CRC Press, Taylor&Francis Group) Introduction Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) arises primarily as a result of various forms of host and router mobility, but may also come into being as a result of disconnection due to power management or interference. Examples of such networks include: * Terrestrial Mobile Networks: In many cases, these networks may become un-expectedly partitioned due to node mobility or RF interference. In other cases, the network may never have an end to end path and may be expected to be partitioned in a periodic and predictable manner. * Exotic Media Networks: Exotic communication media includes near-Earth satel-lite communications, very long-distance radio links (e.g. deep space RF communications with light propagation delays in the seconds or minutes), communication using acoustic modulation in air or water, and some free-space optical communications. These systems may be subject to high latencies with predictable interruption (e.g. due to planetary dy-namics or the passing of a scheduled ship), may suffer outage due to environmental conditions (e.g. weather), or may provide a predictably available store-and-forward network service that is only occasionally available (e.g. low-earth orbiting satellites that "pass" by one or more times each day). * Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks: These networks are frequently characterized by extremely limited end-node power, memory, and CPU capability. Recommended Topics (not limited to) * Routing, broadcast, multicast * Medium Access Control * Self-x properties, i.e. self-organization, self-management, self-healing and self-protection * Economic approaches and social model * Learning techniques * Design, analysis and simulation * Network coding * P2p * Mobility * Robustness and stability * Security, immunity and resilience * Auto-configuration, authentication and trust management * Bio-computing inspired approaches * Generic network-level service composition at run-time * Context Transparency and Awareness * Sensor networks-based DTN * Ambient, invisible, implicit, and adaptive computing * Context-aware computing and location-based services and applications * Testbed, prototype and experiment * Challenges, visions and roadmap Important Dates You are invited to submit a 1-2 pages proposal discribing the topic of your chapter. The proposal should include the chapter summary, table of content, and contact authors. Estimatedly, each chapter should has about 35 pages with 12 font size, double-space format. Proposal Deadline: 31 December 2008 Notification of proposal acceptance: 31 Jan. 2009 Full chapter submission: 30 April 2009 Note: each lead chapter author will get a free copy of the book.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: First International Workshop on Autonomic Wireless Networking Datum: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:09:49 +0100 (CET) Von: Enzo Mingozzi <mingozzi(a)cng1.iet.unipi.it> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ First International Workshop on Autonomic Wireless Networking (AWN 2009) http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/awn09/ Co-located with 5th International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2009) June 21-24, 2009, Leipzig, Germany IWCMC requested IEEE/ACM technical co-sponsorship (pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Aims and Scope The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the domain of wireless networking employed to support the needs of future wireless communication systems. To deal with the increasing complexity of large- scale wireless networking systems, computers and applications must learn to manage themselves in accordance with high-level guidance from humans - a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Quality, reliability, security and robustness are specific demands to be provided by future autonomic wireless networks. Cognitive radio has emerged as a promising technology for maximizing the utilization of the limited radio bandwidth while accommodating the increasing amount of services and applications in the wireless networks. Similarly, cross- layer techniques exploit locally available information for providing more robust and scalable wireless communication systems. The purpose of the First International Workshop on Autonomic Wireless Networking is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing all aspects of self-organization, adaptive management of available resources, cooperation and detection of selfishness in wireless networks. In doing so, we hope to further build and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale autonomic wireless networks. Papers are solicited in the broad range of wireless networking with focus on autonomic communication. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart antenna technologies - Cognitive and software defined radio - Cooperative communications - Incentive compatible and cooperative behavior - Self-organization - Cross-layer design and optimization - Medium access control - Quality of service - Radio resource management - Selfishness detection - Jamming - Security and privacy - Modeling and simulation - Testbeds and experimental platforms Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers not exceeding six pages (hard limit), including text, figures, tables, and references. Papers must be written in English and must be in standard IEEE conference format. All submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS system http://edas.info, and must be in PDF format. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings which will be included in IEEE Digital Library (pending approval). Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in a special issue of the Wiley Journal of Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (WCMC), and International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems.
