CFP: Wireless Networks and Systems for Developing Regions (WiNS-DR)
by Veljko Pejovic 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of the CFP] ****************************************************************************** Wireless Networks and Systems for Developing Regions (WiNS-DR) Workshop to be held in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2008 September 19, 2008 http://moment.cs.ucsb.edu/winsdr08 ****** Call for Papers ****** Information and communication technologies have been widely hailed as an important component in the advancement of the rural and underserved regions of the developing world. While technology alone cannot be a panacea for the diverse and myriad challenges in these regions, there is increasing evidence that communications technologies and access to information, far from being a luxury, can have direct and vital benefits to the economic and social well-being of the population in these regions. In particular, studies indicate that access to communication and information can contribute to specific measures such as increased GDP and living standards. Moreover, anecdotal evidence as well as pilot projects indicates that such access can lead to specific benefits, such as new economic opportunities and better medical information and intervention. This workshop focuses on the technology required to provide communications and information access to rural regions in the developing world, and in particular technical aspects of wireless networking, systems and communication. This target environment poses unique system-wide challenges that require the development of new research approaches and innovative designs and techniques. These challenges include infrastructure issues, such as power and connectivity limitations, as well as particular user needs, including cost, literacy and language issues. Thus in addition to considering the specifics of networking protocols and architectures, the aim of the workshop is to consider the entire system by which networking and communication is provided, all the key technical stakeholders, and the overall system lifecycle from economic modeling to deployment. AUDIENCE: The workshop aims to bring together a diverse group of technical researchers, including: - network planners and economists, - user experience researchers, - network architecture and protocol specialists, - networked application and middleware developers. We believe it is this comprehensive approach that will lead to breakthroughs in understanding the key challenges and research required to build practical, deployable, innovative systems. TOPICS: We solicit original, unpublished, technical papers in the relevant areas of interest including, but not limited to: - Economics of rural access networks, including case studies, tools and models - Rural network planning and spectrum management protocols and techniques - User experience research, including impact of language and literacy barriers on networked applications - Shared access devices and infrastructure, including personalization and privacy concerns - Delay tolerant networking - Low-power and intermittent-power protocols - Energy-efficient and intermittent-energy devices, networks and systems - Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications - Middleware and mechanisms for minimizing energy, latency and storage - Networked applications and services - Testing, deployment and evolution: techniques and in-depth case studies SUBMISSIONS: All papers will be peer-reviewed by a multidisciplinary program committee of technical experts. Submissions are limited to 6 pages in length, with a minimum 10pt font and 1 inch margins, including all references and figures. Submissions will be handled by the EDAS system. IMPORTANT DATES May 8: Abstract registration deadline May 12: Submission deadline June 15: Acceptance notification July 1: Camera ready versions due Sept 19: Workshop date CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS General Chair: Charles Perkins TPC Co-Chairs: Elizabeth Belding, UC Santa Barbara Ravi Jain, Google ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

[Tccc] Call for Papers - Tridentcom 2009 - Washington DC, March/April 2009
by Varma, Vijay K 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement: Tridentcom 2009: The 5th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks & Communities March/April, Washington D.C., USA @ http://www.tridentcom.org <http://www.tridentcom.org/> Please see http://www.tridentcom.org/Tridentcom%202009%20CFP-V1.pdf for a one page "Call for Papers" Call for Papers Important Dates: Papers due: October 1, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: February 15, 2009 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 both academia and industry 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 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 IEEE 8.5" x 11" proceedings format. Proposals for workshops are also welcome. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
