[Mycolleagues] CFP: JISE Special Issue on V-Winets and V-ITSs
by Chih-Yung Chang 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

****************************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ****************************************************************************** Call For Papers Journal of Information Science and Engineering (indexed by SCIE) Special Issue on Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems Aim and Scope: -------------- With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the Vehicular Wireless Networks (V-Winet) and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems (V-ITS) have recently received much attention. V-Winets and V-ITS aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption with many potential applications. For instance, vehicular safety applications include automatic collision notification, heavy fog detection and notification, remote diagnostics, emergency management, and other assistances for safe driving. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion notification, location-based driver information services, high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile high speed Internet access, in-place traffic view, and many others. To facilitate these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications for V-Winet and V-ITS to provide timely information or Internet access to vehicles, drivers, and passengers. Consequently, V-Winet and V-ITS need to integrate existing networking technologies, such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11p, DSRC, 3G, IEEE 802.16, Bluetooth, Sensor networks, and ZigBee for easy, accurate, effective and simple communications among vehicles, users, and infrastructure networks. This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality, original, unpublished research covering all aspects of V-Winet and V-ITS communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the followings: - Network Architecture of V-Winet/V-ITS - V-Winet/V-ITS Services and Applications - Cooperative Aspects of V-Winet/V-ITS - Availability and Scalability Issues in V-Winet/V-ITS - Mobility, Traffic Models and Network Management for V-Winet/V-ITS - Cross-layer Optimization Techniques for V-Winet/V-ITS - Modulation, Coding, and Channel Modeling for V-Winet/V-ITS - Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Roadside Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication Protocols - Simulation Framework and Real-World Testbeds for V-Winet/V-ITS - Driving Safety and Related Applications and Services - Green Technologies and V-Winet/V-ITS Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, previously unpublished work.

At present, more people interact through media and less in a face-to-face manner. Another trend is that people lead less active lifestyles. At the same time, new technologies provide novel entertainment and interaction opportunities. We aim to combine these trends and explore the opportunities that technology-driven physical play offers for enhancing and stimulating real social interaction (as opposed to virtual interaction through a computer). This can be beneficial for diverse reasons: For children to counter the trend of playing computer games and watching television on their own, for elderly to socialize more when making new contacts becomes more difficult and for autistic children because they particularly like technological toys. The main goal of the workshop is to share information and experiences among researchers in the area of social interaction through physical play. We invite position papers addressing social and physical issues including (but not restricted to) the following fields: - Social robotics - Design for diverse user groups, such as children and elderly - Social games - Creative toolkits - Exertion interfaces - Pervasive and head-up games - Embodied facilitation - Spatial and tangible interaction Paper contributions should be submitted by email to one of the organizers. Papers should be 4-6 pages in PDF format LNCS style. Contributions will be reviewed by an international program committee. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop notes (with ISBN number), distributed at the workshop, and published on the workshop's web site. The organizing committee intends to organize a special issue in an international journal. Workshop participants are required to also register for the main conference.

[Tccc] Deadline extended: Internet Network Management Workshop (INM) 2008
by T. S. Eugene Ng 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Internet Network Management Workshop (INM) 2008 Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Co-located with ICNP 2008 Orlando, Florida October 19, 2008 http://www.cs.rice.edu/~eugeneng/inm08 ======================================================================= New extended deadlines: Paper registration: 5:00pm EDT, July 7, 2008 Paper submission: 5:00pm EDT, July 14, 2008 Notification of acceptance: August 6, 2008 Camera ready submission: September 5, 2008 In many ways, computer network management remains the least understood aspect of computer networking. There is a lack of well-established principles for guiding the design of networks for manageability. There is also a lack of scientific theories for analyzing the state of a network and for the evolution of network state. The Internet Network Management (INM) workshop provides an opportunity to elevate participants' collective experience with IP networks into ideas, principles, and theories that can be leveraged in today's networks, or can be carried forward into the clean-slate design of future networks that intrinsically support management, rather than treating management as a bolted-on afterthought. The INM workshop seeks original and thought provoking ideas, case studies, experimental results, position papers, and clean-slate designs. Submissions concerning special-purpose networks, such as VoIP, content distribution, or mobile wireless networks are welcome. The workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of experience and work-in-progress discussions. Topics of Interest: * new abstractions for network configuration management * new control plane architectures * data plane mechanisms to support management * autonomous network management systems with predictive/proactive behaviors * ensuring stability and coherent behavior in distributed and/or autonomous systems * management of backbone, access, enterprise and home networks and network-based applications * techniques and experiments for evaluating network management architectures * experimental platforms that support network management research * comparisons between IP network management and ATM, SONET, or telephony management * defining and enforcing network borders * automatic and adaptive control of networks * cross-layer interactions, including IP/optical or applications/IP * hitless planned maintenance * fault and performance management Program Chairs: Timothy G. Griffin (University of Cambridge) T. S. Eugene Ng (Rice University) Steering Committee: Albert Greenberg (Microsoft Research) Chuck Kalmanek (AT&T Labs) David Maltz (Microsoft Research) Richard Mortier (Vipadia) Geoffrey Xie (Naval Postgraduate School) Hui Zhang (Carnegie Mellon University) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email ----------------------------------------------------- AlPACa 2008 Workshop on Applications of Private and Anonymous Communications (in conjunction with Securecomm 2008) September 22, 2008, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.alpaca-workshop.org/ ----------------------------------------------------- During the last few decades we have seen a tremendous number of activities (and publications) regarding anonymous communication systems, how to make them better, various attacks, defenses etc. Even though the implicit assumption of any anonymity work is to have it applied in a real world, few of those activities focus on actual practical systems, and the questions remain if we are doing research on the right thing? how far we are from dealing with the real issues? and are the goals that we try to achieve with these systems those that we are optimizing for? This workshop solicits papers concerned with what happens on top of and around the anonymizing layer, with a view of how this affects the anonymity system. That is in some ways the user's, operator's, ISP's, etc. view of and experience with anonymity systems and how anonymity systems need to be improved. Topics of interest are (but not limited to): * Use cases for anonymous communication systems * Practical experiences with anonymous communication systems * Case studies * Novel applications of anonymous communication systems * Economic incentives / business models for using or deploying anonymous communication systems * Performance and evaluation tools of real systems * Usability * Feedback from real users * Legal issues with running anonymous communication Important dates: ---------------- * Submission deadline: (extended to) 6 July 2008 * Notification date: 24 July 2008 * Camera ready submission deadline: 10 August 2008 * Workshop: 22 September 2008 Submission instructions: ------------------------ Only PDF formats are accepted for all submissions. Paper submissions must not exceed 8 pages in IEEE conference style, two-column format, including the bibliography and appendices. The Authors' kit can be found on the workshop webpage. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers.

[Tccc] [CFP] IEEE ICPADS workshop P2PNVE'08 2 weeks left
by publication acnlab 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Call for Papers The 2nd International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Networked Virtual Environments in conjunction with The 14th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS 2008) December 8 -10, 2008 Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA http://acnlab.csie.ncu.edu.tw/P2PNVE2008/ PURPOSE AND SCOPE The rapid growth and popularity of networked virtual environments (NVEs) such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) in recent years have spawned a series of research interests in constructing such large-scale virtual environments. For increasing scalability and decreasing the cost of management and deployment, more and more studies propose using peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures to construct large-scale NVEs for games, multimedia virtual worlds and other applications. The goal of such research may be to support an Earth-scale virtual environment or to make hosting virtual worlds more affordable than existing client-server approaches. However, existing solutions for consistency control, persistent data storage, multimedia data dissemination, and cheat-prevention may not be straightforwardly adapted to such new environments, novel ideas and designs thus are needed to realize the potential of P2P-based NVEs. The 1st International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Networked Virtual Environments (P2P-NVE 2007) was held in Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 2007. To adhere to the theme of P2P-NVE 2007, the theme of P2P-NVE 2008 is to solicit original and previously unpublished new ideas on general P2P schemes and on the design and realization of P2P-based NVEs. The workshops aim to facilitate discussions and idea exchanges by both academics and practitioners. Student participations are also strongly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *P2P systems and infrastructures *Applications of P2P systems *Performance evaluation of P2P systems *Trust and security issues in P2P systems *Network support for P2P systems *Fault tolerance in P2P systems *Efficient P2P resource lookup and sharing *Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) and related issues *Constructions of P2P overlays for NVEs *Multicast for P2P NVEs *P2P NVE content distribution *3D streaming for P2P NVEs *Voice communication on P2P NVEs *Persistent storage for P2P NVEs *Security and cheat-prevention mechanisms for P2P games *Data structures and queries for P2P NVEs *Consistency control for P2P NVEs *Design considerations for P2P NVEs *Prototypes of P2P NVEs *P2P control for mobile NVEs *P2P NVE applications on mobile devices IMPORTANT DATES Submission: July 5, 2008 Notification: August 15, 2008 Camera ready: September 12, 2008 PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts, not to exceed 6 double-columned, single-spaced pages, to web site http://acnlab.csie.ncu.edu.tw/P2PNVE2008.

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 5, 2008 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.
