-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MobiOpp07]: Preliminary annoucement and call for papers Datum: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 17:45:28 +0100 Von: Chiara Boldrini <chiara.boldrini(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Chiara Boldrini <chiara.boldrini(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 co-located with ACM MobiSys 2007 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users’ communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. For more information please refer to http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CogNets @ ICC - 2007:Deadline Extended Datum: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 04:05:39 +0100 Von: <Vprasad(a)ewi.tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <D5D459C496383F4490DC103C3460200C5164A8(a)ewis05.ewi.local> *** We apologise if you receive multiple copies*** We received many requests for extending the deadline. We are extending the deadline though we already have a significant number of submissions. First IEEE CogNet Workshop "Towards Cognition in Wireless Networks", IEEE ICC 2007 Workshop 24 June 2007, Glasgow, Scotland, UK http://www.ieee-cognet.org <http://www.ieee-cognet.org/> Technical sponsorship: IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Technical Sub-committee on Cognitive Networks Important Dates: Full papers due: 13th February 2007, 11:59 PM EST (Hard Deadline) Acceptance notification: 5 March 2007 Camera ready version: 12 March 2007 Scope of the Workshop Recently we have been witnessing an unbounded growth in communication technology, in particular wireless devices have been proliferating. There is a serious demand for spectrum to support the communication needs of all these devices. At the same time, many researchers are developing methodologies to sieve the unused spectrum. There are already many solutions proposed under the 'Cognitive Radio' (CR) umbrella that address this issue. The efforts by IEEE 1900 Working Group and various researchers are blazing a trail in the direction of intelligently using the spectrum available locally for communication needs, making Cognitive Radio Networking (CRN) one of the promising candidates for future communication. They are usually in terms of architecture, sensing, optimization, resource allocation, cross layer issues, etc. However, an end user requires a system that is capable of intelligently finding and handling the available frequency band without compromising the QoS. Thus there is a need for the community to look at the whole issue holistically such that these solutions, results and proposals can lead to the rapid deployment of Cognitive Radio networking devices. CRN paradigm has been trying also to gain industrial relevance through the Cognitive Radio work done especially in the USA. The workshop aims to bring in together both long-term academic and shorter term industrial viewpoints. It is required to emphasize particular as well as general aspects towards CRN. The need is to bring together all the efforts resulting in a cohesive approach for CRN. This workshop aspires to provide a platform in this direction. We select, from the submissions, a set of papers discussing novel ideas that should not only analyze the issues in a CWN but also incorporate a clear direction towards the implementation of the CRN systems. This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners and the early proponents of CR. Since this workshop is held under the auspices of ICC, we expect many key persons in this field to be present. The workshop will be planned so as to allow more interactions amongst the participants rather than a conference would. Papers selected for publication will be published together with IEEE ICC 2007 proceedings and available on IEEE eXplore database. Topics of interest are (but not limited to): - Architectures for Hardware and Software defined CR; - Regulatory policies for non-centralized spectrum management; - Enforcement of policies for CR devices; - Pricing and billing for CR devices; - Authorization and authentication of CR devices; - Novel Dynamic/Opportunistic Spectrum Access techniques; - MAC and Network layer management in CR context; - Cross-layer optimization of CRWN; - End-to-End modeling of CRWN; - Security of CRWN; - Applications of CR, i.e., CR for Personal Area Networks; - Spectrum Sensing and Quality of Detection; - Signal Processing for CRWN; - Game Theoretical Analysis of CRWN - Error correction and coding for CR; - Test beds, Experiences of CR implementations. Submission Guidelines: IEEE CogNet Workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers in the area of Cognitive Radio and Networks. Prospective Authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS submission system (http://www.edas.info <http://www.edas.info/> <http://www.edas.info/ <http://www.edas.info/> > ). (If you have any problems during submission, please contact: p.pawelczak at ewi.tudelft.nl <https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc> ). Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. The presenter must register for the workshop before the deadline given for author registration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings and the program.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007)]

01 Feb '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007) Datum: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 20:04:27 -0500 Von: Chunxiao (Tricia) Chigan <cchigan(a)mtu.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu (Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies.) ======================================================================= Call for Papers (deadline extended again till February 11) ---------------------------------------------------------- International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007) Toronto, Canada, June 29, 2007 In conjunction with the IEEE 27th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2007) ---------------------------------------------------------- The Workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS 2007, provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. Rather than looking for one-size-fits-all general solutions in the are of ad hoc networking and systems, maybe in vain, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound, efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS) suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. Very popular MANETs, sensor networks, and P2P systems are perhaps the best known examples of extremely broad, though already specialized, subclasses of ad hoc networks. We prefer to include in the scope of this Workshop only more specialized varieties of MANETs, sensornets, and P2Ps, excluding their fully general kinds. Examples of SAHNS that we want included are vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), incident area networks (IANs), and opportunistic networks (oppnets). VANETs enable vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside networking. IANs are dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Oppnets react to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. They are suitable for many application scenarios, including but not limited to emergency response situations. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad ho networks. For more details please visit the SAHNS web pages at: http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS/ or contact the Workshop Chair (llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu).

31 Jan '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Pervasive Games Symposium with ACM Journal Support - CfP PerGames Datum: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:39:46 +0100 Von: Carsten Magerkurth <magerkurth(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de> An: Carsten Magerkurth <magerkurth(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PerGames 2007 http://www.pergames.de 4th International Symposium on Pervasive Gaming Applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: The best paper submissions will be published in the prestigous ACM Journal Computers in Entertainment (CIE). Additional papers will be published in the Journal of Virtual Reality and Broadcasting (JVRB) that will bring out a dedicated special issue about Pervasive Games. UPDATE: In addition to the scientific programme, PerGames will feature high profile tutorials about Pervasive Gaming from the IPerG EU project. The IPerG project on Pervasive Games has been running for several years and offers a wealth of technological and game design insights to share. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PerGames 2007 will take place at the University of Salzburg, Austria, on June 11. & 12. 2007. It will be co-located with the ACM Conference on Advancements in Entertainment Technologies (ACE). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PerGames series of international symposia addresses the design and technical issues of bringing computer entertainment back to the real world with pervasive games. Previous PerGames events were held in Vienna (2004), Munich (2005), Dublin (2006) and attracted researchers and practitioners from all over the world. PerGames 2007 will feature high quality paper presentations and demos reviewed by an international program committee of experts from the fields of Pervasive Computing and Gaming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This time, we call for four categories of participation: * Research Papers * Research Posters * Live Demonstrations * Citywide Games ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Papers: Research Papers present the latest findings from pervasive gaming research. Each research paper should be six to ten pages in ACM SIGCHI format and should address a relevant topic for pervasive gaming applications. Participants will be chosen on the quality/ originality of their submission by an international program committee. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Mixed reality installations * Innovative input devices * Augmented tabletop games * Emerging pervasive game concepts * Augmented reality games * (Mis-)use of enabling technologies in games * Mobile computing entertainment * Business cases for pervasive computing games * Privacy and awareness issues in pervasive games * Mixing games and serious applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Posters: Research posters will be displayed and discussed during the symposium. They should include nifty ideas or ongoing work that might be too premature for a full paper submission, but interesting to discuss and share with the audience. A poster submission includes a two page description in ACM SIGCHI format and upon acceptance the respective poster. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live Demonstrations: Due to their intrinsic nature, Pervasive Games are best understood by experiencing them firsthand and therefore PerGames will host a number of innovative demonstrations of games as part of the conference. We encourage submissions of live demos of complete, playable Pervasive Games or novel technology demonstrators. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussions. A demo submission includes an abstract that describes the exhibit and discusses its novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches. It should be two to four pages using the ACM SIGCHI format. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citywide Games: Citywide Games are larger than Live Demonstrations with respect to the suggested temporal or spatial expansion.

Datum: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 14:50:15 -0800 (PST) Von: Lin Cai <cai(a)ECE.UVic.CA> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [ Our apologies for possible duplicates of this message ] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Call For papers IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special Section on Vehicular Communications Networks ****** Paper Submission Deadline: February 15, 2007 ****** Traffic congestion, delays, and accidents in the transportation systems have caused significant loss of lives, waste of energy, and loss in productivity. To improve the safety, security and efficiency of the transportation systems and enable new mobile services and applications for the traveling public, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been developed, which apply rapidly emerging information technologies in vehicles and transportation infrastructures. The development of inter/intra-vehicle and infrastructure-to-vehicle mobile mesh and ad hoc networks is one of the most challenging and critical issues for the ITS industry, which also sparks numerous interests in the communications and networking research community. The objective of this special section is to disseminate the state-of-the-art R&D results in this fast-moving research area, to facilitate the deployment of vehicular communications networks, and to bring together people from both academia and industry, with the goal of fostering interaction among them to promote further research interests and activities to enable new transportation products and services, e.g., advanced traffic management, vehicle control, safety control, and networking and information services for users on the road. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Emerging inter/intra-vehicle and infrastructure-to-vehicle wireless communication technologies - Vehicular network architecture and protocol - Vehicular network performance modeling and analysis - Vehicular network medium access control and routing protocols - Vehicular network flow and congestion control - Quality of Services (QoS) provisioning in wireless-enabled ITS systems - Traffic management, vehicle control, and safety related applications for ITS systems - Networking and information services for users on the roads (by automobiles, trains, planes, or ships) - Cross-layer design and optimization for vehicular networks - Mobility management and intersystem handovers - Simulations models and testbeds for ITS - Implementation and field tests of ITS systems - Network self-organization and self-configuration - Network security and trustworthy networks - Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems Submission: We seek original contributions not currently under review by other journals. All papers for this section must be submitted in PDF format through IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Manuscript Central (http://tvt-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: MTAP (Springer) Special Issue - last call Datum: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 13:32:29 +0100 (CET) Von: Marco Roccetti <roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it> An: multicomm(a)comsoc.org CC: Marco Roccetti <roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it> CALL FOR PAPERS Multimedia Tools and Applications (Springer) Special Issue on New Achievements in Pervasive and Interactive Multimedia Systems and Applications Recent technological advancements have transformed almost any computer, electronic device and appliance into concrete multimedia systems. From a simple laptop to the hype iPod, from wearable computers to wireless sensors, from RFID tags to cell phones, those systems have pervasively got into our homes, offices and places where we have fun, deeply revolutionizing our lifestyle and common habits. Whats really new here is that, surprisingly, not only we can use these devices in a passive way, to listen to music or watch TV for example, but we can use them to customize and adapt all the information we want to receive: We are about to spend our days in an environment saturated with computing and communication devices able to produce and/or adapt a lot of multimedia contents, based on a set of sophisticated interactions these systems carry out with us, as well as with the environment surrounding us. One of the key issue is how to structure this universe of devices and applications, without bothering users with an explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies, while guaranteeing to them a full control on the results. To this aim, new technical challenges include several different aspects, ranging from the underlying network (is the client-server communication model adequate to support all this?) to the human computer interaction interface (how can a human being simply interact with an embedded system or an RFID tag?) and to the privacy/security mechanisms (how can we ensure privacy in such a pervasive environment?). The goal of this special issue is to collate and disseminate recent and relevant contributions in the area of Pervasive and Interactive Multimedia Systems and Applications including content representation, customization, indexing, access, protection and transmission. Papers are solicited that cover the topics including but not limited to: * Pervasive and interactive multimedia systems including mobile systems, pervasive gaming, and digital TV * Techniques and architectures for streaming media * Multimedia delivery to wireless embedded devices * Mobile content distribution networks * Multimedia QoS support for wired and wireless networks * MAC protocols with multimedia QoS support in wireless networks * Multimedia QoS in peer-to-peer and overlay networks * Online gaming (Service, architecture, protocol, and security) * Privacy and Security Issues * Distributed services middleware and systems for multimedia communications (e.g. Open Service Interfaces) * TV-centric home networks, DTV, and home networked entertainment and games * Information hiding and watermarking * Multimedia Standards, formats and models for multi-channel content distribution * GRID and distributed systems for content production * Web services for content distribution; distribution with P2P architectures * Legal aspects related to digital content (e.g., digital rights management); business, payment and transaction models Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered. Prospective contributors should submit papers in A4/US letter, single column, double space format, up to 30 pages long including figures, tables and references. Authors should submit a pdf version of their manuscript (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 MB) according to the following timetable, directly to the e-mail address of Marco Roccetti: roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it. Camera-ready papers will have to conform to the manuscript style of the target journal (www.springer.com/journal/11042/about). Timetable: Manuscript Submission: February 15, 2007 Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: July 1, 2007 Publication Date: First available issue Guest editors: Marco Roccetti (University of Bologna, IT) Marco Furini (University of Piemonte Orientale, IT) Xiao-Ping Zhang (Ryerson University, Canada) Zhu Liu (AT&T Research Labs, USA) Heather Yu (Panasonic, USA)
