Access to experimental infrastructures for real-life applications by specific user communities benefits all of the stakeholders involved: the end users, because of the first-hand evaluation of the provided services, the researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the knowledge gained from hands-on study and analysis, and the service providers, because of the business exploitation of the network. The goal of TridentCom is to create a forum where telecommunication networks researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, requirements, needs, and visions for future establishment of such infrastructures. It showcases experimental activities, such as testing, verification, integration, measurement, and deployment, which are pivotal to achieving next generation communications. PAPER SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------- Prospective authors 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 Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network Testbeds * Wireless Sensor Testbeds * Testbed Operation & Management for User Communities * Testbed Operation & Management for Research Communities * Testbed Cooperation & Integration * Innovative Measurements Methodologies & Tools * Traffic Measurements Testbeds * Software Tools to Support Distributed Testbeds * Virtual Laboratories * Management of Massive Databases of Experimental Data * Knowledge & Technology Transfer Procedures * Security (AAA) Testing on Open Testbeds * Co-creative User Centric Laboratories for Real-Life Experiments * Business Models for Infrastructure Budgeting & Planning * Infrastructure Renting & Pricing Policies * Vendors & Providers Partnerships Authors are invited to submit Full Papers of up to 10 pages, Testbed Practices Papers of up to 6 pages, including references, figures and tables, formatted according to the IEEE 8.5" x 11" proceedings format.

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications and environments supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2008 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Paper submissions are due on Oct 16, 2007 at 23:59:59 EDT. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format. Papers should be single column using 11pt font.

Adaptability has been described as a characteristic of autonomous behavior and is often related to possessing learning capabilities through analysis of past behaviors and interactions. Adaptability has been intensely studied by various areas of engineering including artificial intelligence, control systems and human orientated systems. Adaptability has been set as an important requirement for systems devised to work in new generation global networked and distributed environments like wireless networks, P2P networks, Web systems, multi-agent systems, grids, etc. Such systems are expected to pose new challenges for the development and application of adaptation techniques, due to their special characteristics including: interconnectivity, interactivity, distribution, heterogeneity and fault-tolerance. This special session welcomes submissions covering all aspects of adaptability in networked systems and media, including (but not limited to): - Self-configuring and self-structuring systems - Adaptive control in communication networks - Adaptive networked control systems - Rule-based adaptive systems - Adaptability in multi-agent systems - Personalized and adaptive hypermedia - Adaptive information provisioning - Adaptive coordination - Adaptability in e-services, including e-learning and e-commerce - Adaptive negotiation - Context-aware systems Papers acceptance will be judged based on their relevance, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions.

[Tccc] Updated and final WONS 2008 Call for Papers
by Moritz Killat 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

---------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2008 The Fifth International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services January 24-25, 2008. Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany http://www.tm.uka.de/wons2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the conference ----------------------- With the increasing variety of wireless technologies, ubiquitous connectivity and service provisioning more and more complements traditional, infrastructure-based cellular networks. WLANs, WiMax, Mobile Ad-hoc networks as well as vehicular networks and sensor networks are popular examples. The goal is to provide services "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. On-demand provisioning of services in such infrastructure-less environments is a challenge in itself. Methods for self-organisation are strongly required to enable this vision. Other challenges are posed by the architectures suited for different networks and applications (e.g., specialized architectures for sensor networks) also raising issues with respect to interoperability. WONS is now at its fifth edition and is still confronted with new technical challenges and new application demands. As such it provides a premier forum for high quality paper presentations and lively discussions. For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks, mesh networks, vehicular networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and Design * Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation * Modeling * Internet integration * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive / ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Applications and Service Support * Data dissemination and Peer-to-Peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages) in PDF format having a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions, ongoing work, visionary, innovative ideas. Further submission instructions will be published on the conference web site.
