[Fwd: [Tccc] First International Workshop on "Wireless mesh: moving towards applications" (WiMeshNets 2006)]
by Lars Wolf 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] First International Workshop on "Wireless mesh: moving towards applications" (WiMeshNets 2006) Datum: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 12:30:21 +0100 Von: Nicola Scalabrino <nicola.scalabrino(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, manet(a)ietf.org CALL FOR PAPERS WiMeshNets 2006 (http://wimeshnets.org) First International Workshop on "Wireless mesh: moving towards applications" (Co-located with QShine 2006, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) August 10, 2006 Recent advances in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) provide promising opportunities in communication paradigms. WMNs do not depend on wired communication infrastructure and their mesh connectivity provides inherent built-in redundancy. This makes them also good candidates for providing an alternative communication mechanism in the face of disasters when normal communication infrastructure is destroyed. WMNs build upon multi-hop forwarding of data packets from access nodes towards gateways to the fixed network and thus share many properties of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. So far almost all existing research effort related to Mobile Ad Hoc networks has been based mostly on the assumptions that the nodes are highly mobile and are mainly battery operated. Thus, most of the protocols and mechanisms try to conserve energy and cope with frequent topology changes. In WMNs these assumptions can be relaxed which enables the design of new protocols and services for WMNs. Supporting any application over wireless mesh networks is however a challenging task due to the multi-hop forwarding of packets which also limits the scalability of WMNs. Nevertheless, WMNs have promising commercial potential as they are supposed to provide cheap wireless network coverage and access. Towards this aim the traditional approaches to routing and to service provisioning should be reconsidered taking into account the intrinsic characteristics of WMNs and those of new and emerging applications. This could pave the way to the assessment of this technology which is expected to conquer new markets in the next few years by taking advantage of the growth of heterogeneous networks. Authors are invited to submit original full papers not currently under review by other conferences on any aspect of “Wireless mesh: moving towards applications”. Contributions describing theoretical research, protocol design, experiments and measurements, commercial deployments, business models, or position/vision statements are all encouraged. Descriptions of work in progress, test trials, and future work plans are highly appreciated. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Architectures for Wireless Mesh Networks • Middleware support in Wireless Mesh Networks • Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks • Fairness Issues for Wireless Mesh Networks • Multicasting and Broadcasting issues in Wireless Mesh Networks • Security and Intrusion Detection for Wireless Mesh Networks • Handoff and mobility management in Wireless Mesh Networks • System prototypes and experimental evaluation of Wireless Mesh Networks • Scheduling and Queuing mechanisms to provide QoS in Wireless Mesh Networks • Gaming applications over Wireless Mesh Networks • Service level agreement and mesh organization • Modeling and Performance Evaluation • Seamless internetworking with other type of networks (like sensor networks) • Cross Layer Design and Interactions in Wireless Mesh Networks • Transport Layer Protocols over Wireless Mesh Networks • Deployment and configuration management • Voice and Video over Wireless Mesh Networks • Traffic Modeling • Mesh Networking Proposal Standards for IEEE 802(R) Wireless Lans • Authentication, Charging and Cooperation for Wireless Mesh Networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the same manner as those of QShine, and will be available from the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers will be required to register in order for the paper to appear in the workshop proceedings. Important dates Full paper manuscript due: May 12, 2006 Midnight US EST Acceptance Notification: June 13, 2006 Camera ready manuscripts due: June 30, 2006 Workshop date: August 10, 2006 Submission Instructions Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the full paper in English language.

Extended deadline: March 22th. A limited number of E-Next travel grants is also available for this workshop! -------------------------------------------------- Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks, a Workshop at the 2006 IFIP Networking Conference. -------------------------------------------------- Please apologise cross/multiple posting, and please feel free to distribute this CfP further. Networking 2006 will take place at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, between May 15 and May 19. Detailed information ==================== http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~ur1/networking2006/ http://networking2006.dei.uc.pt/workshops.htm Important Dates =============== March 22th, 2006 Papers due (Extended deadline) April 10th, 2006 Notification of acceptance April 17th, 2006 Camera ready papers due Goal and Overview ================== The Performance Control in WirelessSensor Networks Workshop will be a half-day, peer-reviewed workshop on Friday, May 19, 2006. The aim of the workshop is to bring together professionals from academia and industry to discuss performance issues in wireless sensor networks. The focus of the workshop will be on work in progress. Call for Papers =============== Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. These existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. However, many future application areas of wireless sensor networks such as plant automation and control, traffic management or medical applications require this feature. In such environments, data has to be transported reliable and in time through the sensor network. In other words, performance guarantees regarding a variety of network parameters are required. Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with a controlled performance. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. Topics of Interest Include: =========================== This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners, working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models to balance performance parameters in the network. * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to stabilize network topology, topology robustness. * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware and frameworks: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for sensor network applications. * Security: The impact of security features on network performance. Paper Submissions: ================== The paper can report on work in progress. The size of the paper should not exceed 8 pages (Please adhere to the formatting standard for a manuscript of the Springer-Verlag LNCS). The cover page must contain an abstract of about 150 words 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present the paper at the Workshop.

Recent advances in wireless communication and sensor and actuator technologies have given rise to a new genre of ubiquitous systems. This new genre is characterized as self-organizing, critically resource constrained, and network centric. The fundamental change is communication: numerous small devices operating collectively, rather than as standalone devices, form a dynamic ambient network that connects each device to more powerful networks and processing resources. NCUS'06 is the successor of IFIP International Symposium on Network Centric Ubiquitous Systems (NCUS'05) held in Nagasaki, Japan and offers a premier international forum for researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia, to discuss hot topics and emerging areas, to share recent progress and latest results, and to promote cutting-edge research and future cooperation on ubiquitous systems and ubiquitous networking. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following: * Software Engineering technologies and Formal Techniques for modeling, designing, and testing network centric ubiquitous systems * Hardware Architectures, Communication Protocols, Human-Computer Interaction and other enabling technologies for network centric ubiquitous systems * Theoretical foundations and algorithms for ubiquitous networking * Context awareness, adaptation and management in network centric ubiquitous systems * Peer-to-Peer and overlay networks, systems, and applications in ubiquitous systems * Mobile networks, Sensor networks, unmanned air and ground vehicle networks, and applications * Web services and Middleware support for ubiquitous networking * Security and Trust management in ubiquitous networks, systems, and applications * Energy management and harvesting for network centric ubiquitous systems * Simulation, Performance evaluation, Experiments, and trials of ubiquitous networks and applications * Comprehensive survey on timely topics [Submission] Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of original manuscripts (not being considered for publication elsewhere, not exceeding 12 single-column, single-spaced pages). Authors should make sure that the submission can be viewed via Acrobat Reader and printed correctly via standard letter or A4 size paper. We strongly recommend authors to format their submissions in LNCS style (instructions and templates are available here). Submission site: http://www.tlfers.org/myreview/index.php?authorsInstructions=1 [Proceedings] Accepted papers will be published as proceedings by Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), Springer-Verlag. Instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. Authors of an accepted paper must guarantee that at least one of the authors will attend the symposium and present their paper.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: WNS2 2006 (organized within VALUETOOLS 2006, Pisa, Italy) Datum: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 10:28:13 -0400 Von: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ece.uprm.edu> Organisation: UPRM An: <multicomm(a)comsoc.org> ========================================================== (We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message) ========================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS WNS2 Workshop on ns-2: the IP network simulator Pisa, Italy -- October 10, 2006 http://www.wns2.org/ SCOPE ----- In recent years, the ns-2 simulator has become one of the de facto standards (if not the standard) for the simulation of packet-switched networks, as attested by the number of research papers and IETF documents based on it, as well as by the wide scope of the networking technologies it handles. It is widely used in both academia and industry as a means of designing, testing and evaluating new and existing protocols and architectures, and it is also a very useful tool for educational purposes. The Workshop on ns-2 (WNS2) is a one-day event held in conjunction with VALUETOOLS, the First International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (http://www.valuetools.org/). The main goals of the WNS2 workshop are: to bring together networking researchers from both academia and industry, to discuss recent advances, to identify future directions in network simulation, and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. The workshop devotes special interest to the future evolution of ns-2, and its extension in novel research areas and networking technologies and scenarios. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ This workshop is mainly focused on the simulator in itself. We are especially looking for original contributions that go beyond the use of ns-2 "as is", and try to make it evolve. The following topics are of particular interest: - Development of new simulation models and features, especially in, but not restricted to, the areas of: * Mobile networks, 3G and 4G networks, WLANs, WPANs, WiMAX... * Delay-tolerant networking. * Congestion-control and transport-layer issues in long-fat networks. * Network mobility (NEMO). * Sensor networks. * Peer-to-peer systems. * Grid computing. - Large-scale network simulation and model-based simulation approaches. - Post-processing tools and GUIs for statistical analysis and visualization of simulation results. Other topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Validation of ns-2 behavior with experimentation and real data. - Comparative studies of ns-2 and other network simulation tools, both commercial and freely-available. - Parallel and distributed versions of ns-2. - Use of ns-2 in teaching networking concepts and techniques. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission Deadline: May 20, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2006 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: July 10, 2006 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE -------------------- Technical Program Co-chairs: Tania Jim¨¦nez (LIA, France) David Ros (GET / ENST Bretagne, France) PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- Eitan Altman (INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France) Chadi Barakat (INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France) Armando Caro Jr. (BBN Technologies, USA) Thierry Ernst (Keio University, Japan) Sonia Fahmy (Purdue University, USA) Andrei Gurtov (Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, Finland) Qi He (IBM, USA) Polly Huang (National Taiwan University, Taiwan) Tom Henderson (Boeing, USA) Kun-chan Lan (NICTA, Australia) Saverio Mascolo (Politecnico di Bari, Italy) Nicolas Montavont (GET / ENST Bretagne, France) Giorgio Tonella (USI, Switzerland) Michael Welzl (Leopold-Franzens-University of Innsbruck, Austria) Lloyd Wood (Cisco, UK) SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------- Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages in IEEE conference proceedings format (double-column, 11-point font size).
