[Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network Magazine, Special Issue on Protocols and Algorithms for Future Cross-Layer and Hybrid Optical Networks (May 2009)
by Chava Vijaya Saradhi 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

Please accept apologizes if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. We request you to forward this announcement to interested students and colleagues!! Manuscript Submission Deadline: August 1, 2008 CALL FOR PAPERS-IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on: Protocols and Algorithms for Future Cross--Layer and Hybrid Optical Networks Background Recent technological advances and breakthroughs in optical devices, communication sub-systems, and network architectures have led to a profound transformation in all aspects of optical network communications. The potential for highly-scalable "on-demand" service provisioning over multilayer network infrastructures provide an opportunity for service providers to reduce OPEX/CAPEX, and increase ROI. These efforts have special significance in light of the "post-bubble" dynamics of the optical networking market. One approach has been that in order to provision high-bandwidth pipes, multiple (and independent) control protocols are used to deal with the multiple layers where control can be exercised. However, it is recognized that a more integrated approach, capable of operating in multi-domain environments as well, is needed, and hence, it is becoming increasingly important for service providers to evaluate cross-layer/cross-domain design techniques to introduce new services at lower cost and higher quality. On one hand, relying on optical transparency at the physical layer had been demonstrated to allow for dynamic and flexible optical layer with the possibility to add "intelligence". On the other hand, transparency reduces the ability of a client layer to interact with the physical layer, thus leading to limitations on network design, planning, control and management, in contexts where the assumed transparency no longer holds, e.g. IP over DWDM environments. For example, the need to account for the Physical Layer Impairment (PLI) constraints the kinds of paths that can be constructed for routing. Several cross-layer/cross-domain design approaches are emerging to solve the problems in this area, and have attracted much research interest worldwide. These solutions include PLI-aware optimization in: Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA), network design, failure recovery, optical sub-system placement, morphology of Service Level Agreements (SLAs), protocols for control plane, and dynamic provisioning techniques. Various proposed techniques rely on interactions between the networking layer and the physical layer, but a broader set of cross-layer techniques is envisioned, extending possibly beyond physical and network layers. For example, multi-layer approaches can exploit the different traffic granularities and the corresponding technologies involved to control granularity, e.g., traffic grooming, hybrid O&E switching etc. It is important to examine the interfaces between different wavelength and session granularity layers that might be used, for example, is it more meaningful for a wavelength layer and a waveband layer to interoperate in a peer-to-peer arrangement or in a client-server arrangement? In order to provision services in X (where X can be IP/GMPLS/SONET/Ethernet, etc.) over WDM (or for SONET over Ethernet architectures) it is essential to understand the interaction across various layers and to develop efficient cross-layer mechanisms in the form of algorithms and protocols that can ultimately help reduce CAPEX/OPEX, while being able to route and schedule lightpaths, to provide multi-layer resilience, etc. Furthermore, several vendors/operators are exploring possibility of developing/deploying networks along cross-domain principles, as means of integrating hybrids of wireless and optical networks to support cost-effective broadband access. Scope of Contributions The special issue will cover recent developments and solutions proposed in the area of cross-layer/cross-domain design of optical networks. The main focus here is on network and higher layer issues and not on modeling the physical layer characteristics or impairments. Specifically, within the context of cross-layer/cross-domain design for optical networks, we solicit tutorial articles, and articles with tutorial content but also presenting original research, as well as experimental results focusing on the following topics: * PLI-aware network design and RWA. * Modeling of optimization of optical sub-systems placement (e.g., amplifiers, regenerators, etc.). * PLI-aware wavelength monitoring, E2E authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). * Design and service provisioning for PLI-aware metropolitan networks. * PLI-aware control plane protocol standardization and approaches to SLA support. * Cross-layer protocol design for multi-layer (X over WDM, Ethernet over SONET, Optical Ethernet) networks. * Multi-layer fault-localization protocols and failure recovery algorithms. * Inter-layer traffic engineering, QoS support and call/session admission procedures. * Data plane and control plane issues in cross-domain hybrid (wireless/optical) networks. * Experiences from cross-layer/cross-domain optical network test-beds and field trials. Schedule for Submissions Manuscript Submission Deadline: August 1st, 2008 Acceptance Notification: November 15th, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: January 15th, 2009 Publication Date: May 2009 Authors must follow the IEEE Network Magazine guidelines regarding the manuscript and its format.

Submission deadline: May 1, 2008 Wiley Journal: Security and Communication Network (SCN) Call for Paper Special Issue: Secure Multimedia Communication Background ========== Multimedia data like images, audios or videos are different from plain text. They are often of large volumes and are compressed in order to save the storage cost and bandwidth. Due to such requirement and property, the media protection mechanisms for images, audios or videos are significantly different from the ones for text or binary data. With the recent advances in network and multimedia technology, the applications in commercial scenario become increasing crucial. There is an increasing trend in the multimedia content distribution from the central service provider to the individuals, e.g. video-on-demand, IPTV and p2p sharing. In these applications, piracy is becoming a critical issue. Solutions are needed to protect the copyright of multimedia content. During the past decades, schemes have been reported for secure multimedia communication, e.g., key management, multimedia encryption, authentication, digital watermarking, digital fingerprinting, access control and digital rights management. These techniques are able to protect multimedia content's confidentiality, integrity, ownership, traitor traceability. In addition, in different networks such as Internet, 3G wireless, DVB-H and p2p, different secure protocols and algorithms are required to provide the system security. All these topics are in active development. This special issue aims to expose the readership of SCN to the latest research results on secure multimedia communication.

[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.
