[Mycolleagues] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series
by Dr Mario Kolberg 01 Apr '08

Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series A recent trend in consumer networking is that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities….indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications where in recent years, we have seen the emergence of 3G and 4G, WiFi and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Wibree, Ultrawideband and TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. Given such networks we will see a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology and spectrum policy communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

[Tccc] FINAL CFP: Special Issue on Content Distribution Infrastructures for Community Networks (Elsevier Computer Networks Journal)
by Roberto Canonico 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier Computer Networks Special issue on "Content Distribution Infrastructures for Community Networks" ------------------------------------------------------------- ***** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to April 20th, 2008 ***** ------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.elsevier.com/authored_subject_sections/P05/CFP/cfp_contdistinfra… Multimedia content delivery has undergone a dramatic change in recent years. The roles of content provider and producer are no longer restricted to a few professional organisations, as more and more users share audio visual content or use community sites to support their common interest. Nowadays, both portable multimedia devices (e.g., PDAs, mobile phones, MP3 recorders, and digital cameras) and home entertainment systems (e.g., set-top boxes, game consoles, and media-centers) have become integral parts of the content distribution system. Also the underlying delivery infrastructure is undergoing major changes. There is a shift away from the traditional client/server model to systems based on the peer-to-peer paradigm, which let users share computational, storage and bandwidth resources. Moreover, the physical infrastructure is evolving towards some form of spontaneous cooperation of technologies, in order to support the creation of wireless ad hoc networks or wireless Community Networks. Thus, the well known engineering problem of delivering multimedia content through the Internet is evolving into the problem of how to dynamically create content distribution infrastructures and services. The purpose of this special issue is to publish high-quality papers on recent advances in the study of content distribution infrastructures with a special focus on infrastructures designed for serving Community Networks. Specifically, submissions are solicited for papers dealing with specification, design, performance evaluation and benchmarking of novel architectures and paradigms supporting Content Distribution in Community Networks where decentralization of content delivery is combined with self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing, and self-adapting solutions at all technical layers in order to minimize the need for human intervention. Topics of interest include, although are not limited to, the following: - Community networks infrastructures for content delivery - Mobility and nomadicity on community networks - New incentives models for community networks - Self-organization on community networks - P2P applications, services, systems, and overlays on community networks - Measurement, modeling, and performance characterization - Service oriented architectures for content delivery on community networks - Impact on the Future Media Internet - Testbeds, deployed scenarios and user experience studies Prospective authors must prepare their papers according to the "Guide to Authors" available at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit to http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing the Article Type: "SI-Content Distribution Infr.". Manuscripts should be clearly organized, written in good English and describe original research not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers must be in single-column format, double-spaced, and use at least 11 pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including references. Requests for further information may be addressed to the guest editors. Manuscript due: April 20, 2008 (FINAL DEADLINE, NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS !!!) Acceptance notification: June 16, 2008 Final revised manuscript due: August 15, 2007 Publication: December 2008 Guest editors Dr. Roberto Canonico, Università di Napoli "Federico II" Dra.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP--VehiculAr Inter-NETworking (VANET) 2008 Datum: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:21:21 -0400 Von: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ACM VANET 2008 Vehicle to Vehicle -- Vehicle to Roadside -- Vehicle to Internet The Fifth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2008 Date: September 15, 2008 San Francisco, California, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2008/ Important Dates (tentative): Paper Submission Deadline: April 13th Notification of Acceptance: June 6th Camera-Ready Deadline: June 27th The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter-networking 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, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. A high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe), and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia, VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, VANET 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, and VANET 2007 in Montréal, QC, Canada, the Fifth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Inter-Networking (VANET) will be held in San Francisco, CA in conjunction with MobiCom 2008. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically.

[Mycolleagues] [CFP: deadline is April 10] IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Distributed Networks 2008
by Kenta Umebayashi 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. ======================================================= Call For Papers - Deadline: 10 April, 2008 IEEE International Workshop on WDN 2008 International Workshop on Wireless Distributed Networks Date and Location: September 15, 2008, Cannes, France http://www.icwdn.org/wdn/ ======================================================= We would like to invite prospective authors to submit technical papers to IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Distributed Networks (WDN 2008), which will be held in conjunction with PIMRC 2008, 15 September, 2008, Cannes, France. Authors are encouraged to submit original, high uality research papers addressing the below stated areas. * IMPORTANT DATES: *********************************** 10 April, 2008 Submission deadline *********************************** 19 May, 2008 Notification of acceptance 2 June, 2008 Final manuscript 15 Sept, 2008 Workshop * SCOPE: With diversification of wireless access technologies and their application fields, the role of wireless access is no longer the last hop terminal access, but also for repeating functionality such as mesh/multi-hop/ad-hoc/sensor networking. Thereby more complicated wireless networking, especially radio resource management is required to well organize whole the networks. In such cases, it is almost impossible to optimally conduct wireless resource management based on a centralized control policy. Rather, distributed and/or cooperative control techniques should be introduced in necessary parts in any layer, such as distributed antenna, cognitive radio, distributed MAC, and dynamic heterogeneous networking. To systematize an academic basis of this new research field and to discuss the adaptability of these new technologies to enhance the performance of wireless distributed networks (WDN), the workshop named WDN 2008 will be held. In order to achieve such purpose, we believe that cross layer discussions among researchers in the field of physical, MAC, and network layers are required. WDN 2008 will be held in conjunction with PIMRC 2008, as part of the conference workshops to make up various contributions as well as invited contributions from many research fields related to wireless distributed networks. * TOPICS AREAS: The main purpose of this workshop is to systematize an academic basis over the various topics in wireless distributed networks as listed below, and to discuss the adaptability of these new technologies to enhance the performance of wireless distributed networks. - Application Ad-hoc network, Multi-hop network, Mesh network, Sensor network, Cognitive radio, heterogeneous network, and cooperative transmission system - Technology Network coding, Super position coding, Cooperative sensing, Cooperative relay, Virtual antenna array, Distributed antenna system, BS or AP cooperation, Distributed RRM or scheduling, Distributed MAC, Distributed MIMO, Radio Spectrum Sensing, Spatial spectrum sharing, Cross layer optimization - Theory Multi-dimensional Information theory, Convex optimization, Game theory, Graph theory, Bayesian network * PAPER SUBMISSIONS: Papers should be written following the PIMRC 2008 paper instruction. Papers should be written in English, not exceeding 5 double-column pages (overlength pages will be charged for). Please, submit your paper using EDAS before 10 April 2008. * CONTACT ---------------- For more information, please visit the conference web site or contact the PR person: Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology Tel/Fax: +81 (0) 42 388 7483 Email: ume[AT]suzuki-lab.tuat.ac.jp Kenta Umebayashi Conference web site: http://www.icwdn.org/wdn/ _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues
