[Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (submission deadline extended)
by Ling-Jyh Chen 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Apologies if you have received multiple copies ================================================================== Call for Papers The First IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-08) http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON08/ to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 2008 Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference (IEEE APSCC 2008), December 9-12, 2008, Yilan, Taiwan. ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to- vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website: http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON08/ISAS/ The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is five (5) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline: July 12, 2008 (extended) Authors Notification: August 20, 2008 Author Registration: August 30, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2008 General Chair --------------- Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair --------------- Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Local Chair --------------- Yih-Fuh Wang, Leader University, Taiwan Program Committee Members -------------------------- Matthew Barth, University of California, Riverside, USA Wai Chen, Telcordia, USA Costas Constantinou, Univ. of Birmingham, USA Luca Delgrossi, Mercedes-Benz Research, USA Peter Han Joo Chong, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Tamer El-Batt, HRL Laboratories, USA Mustafa Ergen, University of California, Berkeley, USA Andreas Festag, NEC Europe Ltd, USA Mahbub Hassan, University of New South Wales, Australia Russell Hsing, Telcordia, USA Yuan-Ying Hsu, Telcordia, USA Chung-Ming Huang, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Frank Kargl, Ulm University, Germany Hariharan Krishnan, General Motors R&D, USA Gustavo Marfia, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Peter C.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Tridentcom 2009 CFP Datum: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:28:00 +0800 Von: Brad <brad(a)wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ===================================================================== Call for Papers 5th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks & Communities (Tridentcom) April 6-8, 2009, Washington D.C., USA www.tridentcom.org/cfp.htm TridentCom 2009 represents a landmark in the history of international testbed conferences. With the rapid convergence of networks and applications, changes in related industries, more complex value chains and increased competition, early prototyping and experimentation will become a key means for driving innovation and development of market oriented solutions. In this context, value generation has shifted from network technologies towards applications and content. Thus, the nature and scope of testbeds have changed substantially in recent years from solely network technologies towards complex service delivery infrastructures riding on various networks. In contrast to traditional vendor, operator and technology specific "closed" testbeds, the notion of "open" testbeds has emerged. "Open" in this context means both wide access as a shared resource and extensibility to include on-demand new end systems, network technologies, protocol stacks, and, most importantly, new middleware and service delivery platforms for specific test purposes. To meet this need, major research and development programs have started around the globe, including GENI in the U.S. and FIRE in Europe, to establish large scale experimental facilities. TridentCom 2009 will provide a forum to explore existing and planned testbed concepts, infrastructures, and tools to address the research and business challenges in a world of global convergence. Prospective authors from academia, industry and government are invited to submit high quality papers in two categories, Full Papers and Testbed Practices Papers, as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management, including, but not limited to: * Next Generation Internet and Clean Slate Protocol Stack Testbeds * GRID Testbeds and P2P Testbeds * Automonic Communications and Self-managing Network Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network and Seamless Services Testbeds * End System and Sensor Testbeds * Smart Home and Converged Communication and Media Services Testbeds * SOA/Web 2.0 Services Testbeds * Next Generation Services Testbeds * Service Creation and Provisioning Testbeds * Next Generation Networks, IMS, and Quad Play Testbeds * Configurable Hardware/Software Platforms for Testbeds * Testbed Tools for Interoperability, Benchmarking and Traffic Measurements * Innovative Measurements Methodologies and Tools for Networks and Services * Industrial informatics * Wireless industrial communications * Networked industrial automation Important dates: Papers due (to be received by): October 1, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: January 15, 2009 The conference proceedings will be published as Springer LNICST electronically as well as in hard copy. The proceedings will be accessible via LNICST's dedicated website, which is coming soon. Authors are invited to submit Full Papers of up to 10 pages and Testbed Practices Papers of up to 6 pages, including references, figures and tables, formatted according to the LNICST format. Proposals for workshops, panels and tutorials are also welcome.

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ***************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS BIONETICS 2008 3rd International Conference on Bio inspired Models of Network, Information and Computing Systems http://www.bionetics.org/ Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center Awaji Island, Hyogo, Japan, Nov 25-28, 2008 *** Technically co-sponsored by IEEE COMSOC, IEEE CIS, and IEEE SMC (planned) *** In co-operation with ACM SIGSIM and SIGCAS Jointly sponsored by CREATE-NET, ICST *** Extended submission deadline: July 15, 2008 *** ***************************************************************** Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet scale down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. The fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems, capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical solutions which have similar high stability and efficiency as biological entities often have. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the following areas including but not limited to the these topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools: - Mathematical models of biological processes - Cellular signaling pathways - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties - Nano-scale and molecular communication b) Bio-inspired algorithms and mechanisms - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Self-organizing network paradigms - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms c) Bio-inspired technical systems: - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies - Self-learning defense strategies d) Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT): - Network algorithms and protocols - Autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols - Adaptive and self-healing network architectures - In-network processing and autonomic networking - Adaptive sensor and actor networks - Topology control and network organization - Localization and synchronization - Mobility models - Multi-agent systems and robotics - Novel applications and services - Network and information security - Experimental studies Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages or short papers of up to 4 pages in ACM conference proceedings format. The proceedings will be an ICST publication and the papers will be listed on the ACM DL and indexed by EI.
