-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] IEEE Infocom 2004 - Message from Conference General Chair Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 11:25:38 -0400 From: Thomas Hou <thou(a)VT.EDU> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: INFOCOM2004(a)LISTSERV.VT.EDU July 1, 2003, the deadline for paper submission to IEEE INFOCOM 2004, to be held in Hong Kong, March 7 - 11, 2004, is rapidly approaching. The Call For Papers can be found at _http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2004/_. We are well aware that there is concern about SARS among some potential authors; however, all signs indicate that SARS is now under control. As you may already know, the World Health Organization lifted its travel advisory to Hong Kong and Guangdong, China last week. The number of new cases in the rest of China is also decreasing rapidly. While we continue to closely monitor the situation, be assured that we do have contingency plans. We will see what happens the rest of this year and will be prepared to reevaluate the situation in late November before the Advance Program is published. For now, we would like to reassure you all that IEEE INFOCOM 2004 will be held as planned. We encourage you to submit your work before July 1, 2003, and be considered to present your paper in a beautiful setting overlooking Hong Kong Harbor. Victor O.K. Li, General Chair, IEEE INFOCOM 2004

There are several research issues still to be explored in the public WLAN arena. What is the overall network architecture and service model? How to roam through multiple wireless access providers with a unique service contract? How to decouple the wireless infrastructure providers from the Internet service (and content) providers? How to locate service facilities in the wireless access domain and how to match the available facilities with the user needs? How to exploit location and context information? How to provide differentiated service levels to different customers? This workshop is aimed at discussing these and several other technical and business challenges behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access mean. Leaders and thinkers of the field from academia and industry will assemble to share their ideas and views. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers or position papers, describing current research and visions of the future. We are specifically interested in work focusing on Transport layer and above (layers 4-7). Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but not limited to - applications and services - public WLAN architectures - community-owned WLAN infrastructures - WLAN-based ad hoc network service creation and management - new service and business models - interworking and cooperation with public cellular systems - mobility, roaming, and handoff management - context-aware services and technologies - location-aware applications and services - multimedia wireless applications - authentication, accounting, billing and payment - security and privacy - middleware support - service location and discovery - traffic measurements and modeling - case studies on deployed platforms and experimental testbeds Please consult the Program Co-Chairs Giuseppe Bianchi (bianchi(a)elet.polimi.it) and Sung-Ju Lee (sjlee(a)hpl.hp.com) if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop. Paper Submission Guidelines: Papers that are unpublished and are not currently under review by other journals, conferences, or workshops are solicited. We are interested in: - technical papers that describe original research results - position papers that propose new technologies or share future vision (similar to challenges papers in MobiCom) All submissions will be handled electronically. The paper must be in either PDF or PostScript format. The page limit of the regular technical papers is 15 pages and the position papers is 10 pages in US Letter sized paper in single column with reasonable margins. Please use font sizes of at least 10 points. All papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee members. Papers will be judged by their technical merit, originality, and relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings. Selected papers will also be included in a special issue of ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) journal. We expect at least one author of the accepted papers will attend the workshop and present their work. Organizing Committee General Chair: Parviz Kermani IBM T.J.

[Fwd: [Tccc] ACM/MC2R "Wireless PAN & Sensor Networks" CFP]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ACM/MC2R "Wireless PAN & Sensor Networks" CFP Date: Mon, 26 May 2003 20:22:54 +0300 From: Theodore Zahariadis <zahariad(a)ellemedia.com> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM/SIGMOBILE MC2R MOBILE COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW A PUBLICATION OF ACM SIGMOBILE Call For Papers Special Issue on: "Wireless PAN & Sensor Networks" Objectives Despite of the worldwide recession, especially in the telecommunications market, and the delays in the 3G mobile networks' deployment, the vision of a new forth generation (4G) all-IP mobile/wireless network is emerging rapidly. In the forthcoming 4G era, apart from the installed infrastructure based networks, Wireless Personal Area Networks (PANs) and sensor networks are expected to fulfil the "anywhere and anytime" ubiquitous services' requirement. Users will require forming "ad-hoc" networks to communicate with colleagues at work, at conferences, at "hot-spots", at home, or on the move. Moreover Personal Area Networks (PAN) centred on the individual himself will evolve. PAN networks will include any collection of devices that belong to or are carried by a networked user (e.g. cell phone, laptop, earphones, GPS navigator, palm pilot, beeper, portable scanner, etc.) and form his/her personal "PAN-bubble". The bubble may expand or shrink dynamically depending on user's environment and needs. For example it may connect to routers, sensors or actuators. Such access is critical when the mobile user enters into a new location and aims to quickly sense and control the environment (e.g. gain access/ connectivity, control the temperature, adjust the lighting) or get recognized by the environment sensors (e.g. welcome message, uninterrupted communication, automatic selection of a background music, etc.) Wireless PAN and sensor networks will require sophisticated algorithmic solutions to realize and maintain high-speed, cost-effective, energy-efficient and reliable wireless networks. This special issue aims to bringing together state-of-the-art contributions and provide a comprehensive and updated reference in this field. In this context, the challenges, the protocols, the applications and the technologies that enable the wireless PANs and sensor networks will be addressed. This special issue of the MC2R is devoted to the future ad-hoc networks i.e. Wireless Personal Area Networks & Sensor Networks. The purpose is to disseminate the recent advances and research activities in these fields and provide a comprehensive and updated reference. In this context, the challenges, the protocols, the applications and the technologies that enable the wireless PANs and sensor networks will be addressed. More specifically, the special issue will cover topics that include the architecture, routing and QoS protocols, modelling, performance evaluation, and experimentation of ad-hoc PANs and sensor networks. Particularly encouraged are articles from industry that discuss the latest industrial advances. Topics Original research and review papers are solicited that cover (but are not limited to) any of the following areas: - Self-organized, auto-configured ad-hoc networks - Intelligent multi-hop routing in ad-hoc PAN/sensor networks - QoS in ad-hoc PAN networks - Multimedia ad-hoc communications - Resource discovery and self-configuration of - Applications in Wireless PANs/sensor networks - Radio resource management - WPANs in 4G networks - Intelligent mobile agents - Implementation and performance evaluation MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Paper submission will be handled electronically. Authors should format their manuscripts according to the guidelines in http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigmobile/MC2R/submission_guidelines.html and should e-mail a PDF, PostScript or MS Word version to Dr. Theodore B. Zahariadis at the address below. Note that all sources of accepted papers should be available in order to rebuild the papers for final typesetting (LaTeX is strongly encouraged).
