This convergence promises both price efficiencies and true interoperability, for storage and for cluster interconnect. The NICELI workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the merits, drawbacks, applications, and practical implications of protocol and implementation designs. Approaches based on Internet protocols are of particular interest. We invite submissions of research results, protocol design rationales, significant implementation experience, and architectural papers related to the convergence of networks and interconnect. Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: * Remote DMA and Direct Data Placement (DDP) protocols * Architectural directions for and implications of RDMA/DDP * What implementation techniques are most beneficial? * Performance (and what are the right metrics)? * How can these protocols and implementations be made secure? * Formal verification of these protocols * Case studies of implementations (HW and SW) * Operating system implications * Applications (e.g., iSCSI, DAFS, NFS, clustering, etc.) * Lessons learned from past attempts at network-I/O convergence * Speculations on future developments enabled by this technology Other relevant topics are certainly welcome; please contact the Program Chair or Co-Chair to discuss the relevance of a topic not listed above. Accepted papers will appear in a workshop proceedings (to be placed in the ACM Digital Library). A report on workshop discussions will appear in SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT We invite two kinds of submissions: 1. Technical papers presenting research and practical results. 2. Position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the IETF or in industry consortia.

CALL FOR PAPERS *IEEE VTC 2003 http://www.vtc2003.org/* *Wireless Ad hoc, Sensor, and Wearable Networks* *http://www.cs.queensu.ca/home/safwat/VTC_2003_Symposium/* October 4-9, 2003 Hyatt Orlando Hotel Orlando, Florida, USA *Symposium Chair:* * * Ahmed Safwat Queen's University, Canada safwat(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:safwat@cs.queensu.ca> This is the first in a series of annual symposia dedicated to Wireless Ad hoc, Sensor, and Wearable Networks. Each year there will be one or more themes invigorated by the state-of-the-art. This year's theme is "Energy-Efficient and Context-Aware Designs". However, we welcome all submissions of relevance to wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks. In multi-hop wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks wireless mobile stations and electronic devices form a network without the intervention of a dedicated infrastructure. Such networks eradicate infrastructure deployment, setup, and administration costs. Nevertheless, although energy efficiency and context awareness in wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks are of great significance, they both remain the main impediments towards their deployment. The outcomes of this year's Symposium will stimulate and exhilarate the deployment of sustainable and context-rich wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks. Original papers are solicited in the area of energy-efficiency and/or context-awareness for wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: -- Routing protocols -- Medium access control -- Modeling and simulation -- Security algorithms -- Energy-efficient physical designs -- Disruptive applications (telemedical, biological, etc) -- Multi-hop cellular architectures (multi-hop WLANs, 4G, 4G+) -- Body area networks -- M-commerce -- Multi-channel ad hoc/sensor networks: designs and algorithms -- Directive antennas -- Self-configurable wearable networks -- Personal area networks -- Cross-layer designs -- TCP-related issues -- Wireless multi-hop testbeds -- Location-inspired designs -- Incorporation of context into wearable networking -- Non-monolithic/shared conceptual models for context-awareness -- Algorithms for context discovery and delivery *Submission Guidelines: * Authors are required to submit a short abstract (approximately 150 words) AND an extended abstract (up to 2 pages) as well.

[Fwd: [Tccc] J-SAC Special Issue]

12 Feb '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] J-SAC Special Issue Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2003 18:22:22 -0500 From: Mohsen Guizani <mguizani(a)cs.wmich.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications INTELLIGENT SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS IN NEXT GENERATION NETWORKS Next generation networks are expected to be very complex systems interconnecting different technologies and architectures across various software platforms. No single technology or architecture will be able to smoothly glue together such complex systems into a single network of all networks. DSL and Cable once dominating the access networks will be challenged by new cheap alternatives such as optical ethernet, wireless LANs, fixed wireless access systems such as LMDS, and even dark fiber. Metro networks will also be dominated by an array of technologies from multiple service protocol platforms (MSPP) to resilient packet rings (RPR) to 10 GB-ethernet switches, and even OXC switching nodes. The backbone will be superhighways utilizing DWDM, OXC nodes interconnecting Gigabit and Terabit IP routers. 3G and beyond mobile networks will be a corner stone in extending communications services to mobile users. New services and applications will be supported on these complex systems through upper layer middleware software platforms. These services will no longer be independent static sources of content, rather will have intelligent software to adapt those sources to varying networks conditions, technologies, and platforms. This will be achieved through another intelligent layer of cognitive middleware that is capable of interfacing these services to the underlying network technologies. New services must be capable of receiving information about the network and adaptively tune their transport parameters as well as bit-rates according to the underlying networking conditions/technologies. New services and contents will need to understand networking traffic parameters, and react accordingly in order to maintain smooth traffic flows in the network and avoid skewness behaviors. The scope of this issue is to address the research and development efforts of the aforementioned various issues in the area of intelligent services and applications in next generation networks. In particular we are interested in papers dealing with state-of-the-art design and analysis, implementation and experimental results of cognitive and intelligent software agents/services and applications as well as architectures for intelligent content delivery. In this context, topics include: · Cognitive middleware · Cognitive software agents · Cognitive services and applications · Novel architectures for intelligent content delivery · Adaptive QoS provisioning issues · Peer-to-peer networking · Adaptive rate video encoding · Intelligent traffic management and control · Experimental test-beds and results · Programmable services interfaces · Intelligent transport and routing protocols · Adaptive, congestion controlled multicast / management and control · Intelligent algorithms · Service-aware congestion and traffic control protocols · Wireless and mobile issues for intelligent services · Adaptive security issues · Case studies Original, unpublished contributions prepared in accordance to the IEEE J-SAC format will be considered. Papers NOT related to one of the above listed topics WILL NOT be reviewed. Electronic submission in PDF format ONLY should be sent to one of the guest editors listed below. The following timetable shall apply: Manuscript Submission: NOVEMBER 1, 2003 Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: July 1, 2004 Publication: 1st Quarter 2005 Mohsen Guizani, Dept of Computer Science, Western Michigan Univ, mguizani(a)cs.wmich.edu Mario Gerla, Computer Science Dept, UCLA, gerla(a)cs.ucla.edu Mamoru Sawahashi, NTT DoCoMo, Japan, sawahashi(a)mlab.yrp.nttdocomo.co.jp Josef F.
