just for your information -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Workshop Announcement -- Cross-Layer Issues in the Design of Tactical Mobile Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Integration of Communication and Networking Functions to Support Optimal Information Management' Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 14:08:01 -0500 From: Jeff Wieselthier <wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu At http://www.valcartier.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/tgonimdg/#upcoming you will find an Announcement and Call for Abstracts for a workshop on 'Cross-Layer Issues in the Design of Tactical Mobile Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Integration of Communication and Networking Functions to Support Optimal Information Management'. The workshop is being organized under the auspices of Task Group 12 of the NATO Research and Technology Organization's Information Systems Technology Panel ( http://www.valcartier.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/tgonimdg/ ). It will take place on 2-3 June 2004 at the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. The workshop will address the challenge of 'top-to-bottom' information management in disadvantaged (unreliable, low bandwidth or energy-constrained) mobile wireless military communication networks. Crucial issues relating to communication and networking in hostile environments span the entire layered structure from the physical layer up through the session layer. The conventional way to implement networks is to use a strictly layered structure, in which these issues are addressed separately, while defining interfaces to higher and lower layer functions. Although such an approach may be appropriate for wired networks, the characteristics of wireless networks suggest that improved performance may be obtained by addressing these issues in a coordinated (or "cross-layer") fashion. This workshop will address alternative approaches to various aspects of the communication/networking problem, and will assess the potential benefits that may be achieved through the vertical integration of layer functionality, with emphasis on improved collaboration with user applications to achieve optimal information management over a disadvantaged network. The topic will be of interest to military or scientific personnel concerned with the efficient use of limited resources in disadvantaged communications environments. Our keynote presentation will be given by Dr. Michael B. Pursley, Holcombe Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Clemson University. The workshop is open to citizens of NATO member countries who are working for a government, military, industrial or academic organization or institution within a NATO nation on a topic relevant to the theme of the workshop. The workshop is UNCLASSIFIED. The working language will be English. There is no registration fee. Please notify the undersigned of your desire to attend and/or make a presentation, using the form included in the attached Word document, NOT LATER THAN 18 February 2004. Submission of the form by electronic means is encouraged. We would appreciate your cooperation in forwarding the Announcement to colleagues that you feel may have an interest in the subject.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE IWQoS 2004 Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2004 17:54:28 -0500 (EST) From: Baochun Li <bli(a)eecg.toronto.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We sincerely apologize if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers The Twelfth IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2004) June 7-9, 2004, Montreal, Canada Sponsored by IEEE Communications Society, in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMOBILE Since 1994, IWQoS has been a very successful series of workshops providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on Quality of Service (QoS). Building on the successes of previous workshops, the objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future directions and challenges in developing practical systems where predictable and controlled performance is a central requirement. In particular, we look to reconsider and expand the scope of the workshop to include all work related to QoS --- in networking (wired, wireless and sensor networks), operating systems, servers, advanced middleware services (such as grid computing and peer-to-peer systems), and to address relevant technical issues such as availibity, reliability, security, pricing, incentives as well as performance. Therefore, in addition to traditional IWQoS topics such as service guarantees and resource management, papers offering research contributions related to robustness, resilience, dependability, predictability, security, and incentive engineering in both networking and distributed environments are particularly solicited. Topics of interest include (but not limited to): We particularly solicit papers in these aspects: QoS in peer-to-peer, grid and application-layer overlay networks QoS and security in distributed computing environments Dependability, availability, resilience and robustness Rationality, incentives, microeconomics and self-interests QoS in infrastructure-based and ad hoc wireless networks QoS in mobile environments QoS in wireless sensor networks Adaptations and evolutions of QoS Measurement-based QoS estimation and verification QoS in Intranets and VoIP systems Service Level Agreements and QoS Server-side QoS and its roles in end-to-end QoS provisioning We also solicit papers in the following aspects: QoS architectures and protocols QoS analysis and modeling Resource management and admission control QoS routing QoS pricing and billing Measurements, evaluation and experiences with QoS metrics Content delivery networks with performance and service guarantees QoS in web systems and storage systems Programmability and language aspects supporting QoS QoS in multimedia systems QoS-aware middleware frameworks and services Integrated and differentiated services in wide-area networks IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to provide fast turnaround. The deadline for papers is therefore as close to the conference as the publishers allow. In the past the workshop has been cross-disciplinary, well focused, with the emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time is devoted to informal discussions. The workshop is a single-track forum spanning two and a half days. It values both theoretical contributions and practical experiences. Web: http://iqua.ece.toronto.edu/iwqos04/ Important Dates: Paper abstract deadline: February 17, 2004, 11:59pm PST Paper submission deadline: February 20, 2004, 11:59pm PST (hard deadline, no extensions) Notification of acceptance: March 31, 2004 Camera-ready papers due: April 13, 2004 Workshop dates: June 7-9, 2004 Best Student Paper Award Award will be given at the conference to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student. Paper Submission IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Submissions should be full-length papers that are no longer than 20 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 -- 150 words. All papers must be submitted in either Postscript or the Adobe PDF format, and no other formats are accepted by the paper submission web site. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at IWQoS 2004. Hot Topics Session IWQoS 2004 introduces a new Hot Topics Session that serves as a forum to present opinions, views and ongoing work that reflect emerging research directions within the scope of the workshop. The objective of the session is to promote community-wide discussions of ideas that will influence and foster continued research in the field. The session will provide a venue for researchers to present new ideas that have the potential to significantly impact the community in the long term, especially those that are architectural or design-oriented in nature. To organize this session, we solicit short papers describing such an idea; the paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new solution (that may be work-in-progress in nature), or discuss existing work with an original viewpoint. The short papers are limited to five double-column, single-spaced pages. Accepted papers will be presented in a 15-minute time period, and will be included in the conference proceedings. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP - ACM/Kluwer MONET Journal Special Issue on Wirless Sensor Networks Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2004 13:35:29 +0800 From: Jiangchuan Liu <ljc(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk> Reply-To: ljc(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk Organization: The Chinese University of Hong Kong To: tccc <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this. *** The deadline is appoaching (Jan 15, 04) !! CALL FOR PAPERS ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Special Issue on "Energy Constraints and Lifetime Performance in Wireless Sensor Networks" Wireless sensor networks have been undergoing a revolution that promises to have a significant impact throughout society, one that could quite possibly dwarf previous milestones in the information revolution. These networks consist of battery-powered nodes that are endowed with a multitude of sensing modalities. The demand for these networks is spurred by numerous applications that require in-situ, unattended, high-precision, real-time observation over a vast area. Such networks are more than simply the next step in the evolution of the personal computer or the Internet. Instead, wireless sensor networks operate under a set of unique constraints and requirements that demand more than merely incremental improvements in, or modifications of, traditional technologies. In particular, although there have been significant improvements in processor design and computing, advances in battery technology still lag behind, making energy resource the ultimate bottleneck in wireless sensor networking. The purpose of this issue is to disseminate state-of-the-art approaches and novel techniques that will advance basic knowledge and understanding of wireless sensor networks. We are particularly interested in soliciting papers that study fundamental performance limits and tradeoffs that are brought about by energy constraints and that are unique to the wireless sensor networks. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - New performance metrics and considerations due to energy constraints - Network lifetime limits due to energy constraints - Network lifetime-aware protocols and algorithms - Infrastructure and topological considerations for performance enhancement, e.g., relaying node/base station placement, impact of network geometry - Performance enhancement with power control and directional antennas - Network capacity limits due to energy constraints - Energy provisioning considerations for network lifetime guarantee - Energy consumption consideration for the design of control plane (e.g., centralized or distributed implementations) - Application of directional antennas in energy conservation Publication Schedule: - Manuscript Due: January 15, 2004 - Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2004 - Final Manuscript Due: June 1, 2004 - Publication Date: 3rd Quarter, 2004 Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered. Submission should be limited to 25 double space pages. Prospective authors should submit, via email, their manuscript as a PDF file to EDAS at http://edas.info/ according to the publication schedule.
