-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACF-Members: CFP - Special Issue of JNSM on on Autonomic Pervasive and Context-aware Systems Datum: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 16:53:34 -0000 Von: David Lewis <dave.lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> Antwort an: <Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> Organisation: TCD An: <acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org> CALL FOR PAPERS JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT ========================================= Special Issue on Autonomic Pervasive and Context-aware Systems Manuscript due March 31, 2006 http://www.sce.umkc.edu/jnsm/ The increasing integration of computing power into the fabric of everyday life and the wireless interconnection of embedded and mobile computers is making Mark Weiser's vision of Pervasive Computing a reality. Pervasive computing systems must constantly adapt their behavior in order to meet the needs of users within every changing physical, social, computing and communication context. Pervasive computing elements need to dynamically form ad hoc collaborations to perform useful tasks for mobile users, on-demand. To do this, they must possess sufficient intelligence and knowledge-awareness to react appropriately to a wide range of contexts. Care must be taken, however, to ensure that adaptive behavior experienced by the users and operators of pervasive computing systems is useful, relevant, non-distracting and consistent with individual and organizational goals. However, the complexity and dynamism of pervasive computing systems renders the manual constraint of their operation impractical, and such systems must therefore possess the ability to self-manage and operate within high-level constraints provided by users and operators. Such self-managing, or autonomic, behavior is challenging given the extreme heterogeneity, ad hoc organization and disparate ownership of the elements in any given pervasive computing environment. This special issue aims to bring together work that can contribute to the effective governance of pervasive computing systems: - Autonomic pervasive computing and communications - Policy-based management of pervasive computing environment - Constraint/programming of self-organizing adaptive behavior - Management of context gathering systems - Trust maintenance - Self-management architectures for pervasive computing - Exchange and meaning of autonomic knowledge - Collaborative policy engineering for pervasive computing applications Guest Editors: -------------- David Lewis, Trinity College Dublin (Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie) Simon Dobson, University College Dublin (Simon.Dobson(a)ucd.ie) Instructions to Contributors: ----------------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers to Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie.

Now that some of the fundamental issues and challenges of ad hoc networking have been clearly assessed, the focus is partially shifting to new issues, which include application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.), autonomous Organization and operation, optimization and control, service creation and support, middleware. Moreover, wireless MESH networking is emerging as an "ad hoc spin-off" aimed at extending and integrating the multi-hop paradigm with more traditional networking, which poses new and exciting technical challenges. Med-Hoc-Net 2006 is the major annual international workshop aiming to serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry from all over the world. Sharing ideas, views, results, and experiences in the field of wireless multi-hop networking is what Med-Hoc-Net 2006 intends to be about. Anything from theoretical and experimental achievements, to innovative ad hoc systems, prototyping efforts, and case studies is of interest to the Med-Hoc-Net community. The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2006 cover a variety of topics related to ad hoc and MESH networks, including but not limited to: - Novel multi-hop wireless network architectures - Routing algorithms and protocols - MAC protocols, scheduling, power control and radio resource sharing - Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks - Middleware for ad hoc networks - Application driven architectures and protocols - Sensor network applications and protocols - Vehicular networks - Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks - Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes - Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, etc.) - Self organization and network reconfiguration - Optimization models and algorithms - Resource and service discovery - Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc networks - Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming, etc.) - QoS support - Security and privacy The members of program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
