[Fwd: [Tccc] CFPs: International Workshop on Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad hoc Networks]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFPs: International Workshop on Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad hoc Networks Datum: Sun, 3 Sep 2006 09:30:48 -0500 (CDT) Von: Dr. Hongyi Wu <wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2007, White Plains, NY March 19-23, 2007. http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~wu/ICMAN/ For close to quarter of a century, mobile communication has experienced an explosive growth, especially in the last decade or so. In particular, one area of mobile communication networks, the ad hoc networks, has attracted significant attention due to its challenging research problems. The ad hoc networks technology has spun off new research areas, such as mesh-based mobile networks and sensor networks. What characterizes nearly all of those mobile technologies is that during the exchange of information between the source and destination terminals, there exists a set of links which constitutes an end-to-end path over which the information can be exchanged. However, in some application scenarios, the connectivity between the mobile terminals does not always allow for creation of such a path. This could be due to very sparse network conditions (low node density) or due to unstable connectivity conditions (interference, fading, etc). Thus, in such scenarios, it would be often difficult, or even impossible, to form a well-connected mesh network for transmitting data through established end-to-end connections. In fact, even if there temporarily exists a path in the network for some portion of the communication, it is likely that the terminals will only be intermittently connected due to mobility. A simple example is that in a WLAN environment, mobile users may be connected to an AP for a while before moving out of its coverage, and then getting connected to a different AP. More examples are found in environments without access to infrastructure at all. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to intermittently connected mobile ad hoc networks (ICMAN), which encompasses the scope of delay or disruption tolerant networks (or DTN), and bringing together state-of-the-art contributions in this emerging area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - New architecture design - Novel transport and routing protocols - Reliability and fault tolerance - Energy, processing power and storage requirement - Mobility modeling and mobility management - Localization and node synchronization - Security, privacy and incentives for co-operation - Resource allocation and QoS support - Performance analysis and evaluation - Delay-tolerant applications - Testbed implementation and experimental results Important Dates: - Submission deadline: Sept. 29, 2006 - Notification of acceptance: Nov. 22, 2006 - Camera-ready papers due: Dec. 22, 2006 - Workshop date: March 19-23, 2007 Submission Instructions : Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages. Blinded submissions in PDF format must be sent to wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu no later than September 29, 2006. Please include the authors' names and affiliations in the email body only. You will receive a confirmation within 24 hours. All submissions must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere.

Forte <andreaf(a)cs.columbia.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu OUR APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES OF THIS EMAIL. --------------------------------------- CFP for Special Issue on Security on Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Computer Communications Journal The increase of wireless and mobile devices and the recent advancement in wireless and mobile ad hoc and sensor networks technologies/applications in a large variety of environments, such as homes, business places, emergency situations, disaster recoveries and people on the move is unprecedented. These activities over different network systems have brought security concerns on an unprecedented scale. Security is an important issue for wireless and mobile ad hoc and sensor networks (MANETs) especially for the security-sensitive applications such as in military, homeland security, financial institutions and many other areas. Such security threats take advantage of protocol weaknesses as well as operating systems' vulnerabilities to attack Internet applications. Theses attacks involve, for example, distributed denials of services, buffer overflows, viruses, and worms, where they cause an increasingly greater technical and economic damage. With regard to such cyber security aspects, there is an increasing demand for measures to guarantee and fully attain the authentication, confidentiality, data integrity, privacy, access control, non repudiation, and availability of system services. This Special Issue will serve as a venue for both academia and industry individuals and groups working in this fast-growing research area to share their experiences and state-of-the-art work with the readers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [OC-ML] Call for contributions: Special Session on Organic Computing at IEEE ISCAS Datum: Fri, 1 Sep 2006 10:01:39 +0200 (CEST) Von: Fabian Rochner <rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de> An: rochner(a)sra.uni-hannover.de Dear subscribers of the Organic Computing Mailinglist, below you can find the Call for contributions for the special session "Organic Computing" at IEEE ISCAS, taking place May 2007 in New Orleans. The deadline for proposals (abstracts) of tutorials or regular contributions is 5 September 2006. Regards, Fabian Rochner ================================================ Call for Contributions Special Session on Organic Computing, IEEE ISCAS, May 2007, New Orleans (USA) Organic Computing investigates as a science how Life creates goal-oriented reactions to the dynamic environment through an evolving hierarchy of internal processes. In the current practice of Algorithmic Computing, reality is off-line modelled and analysed to conceive functions that will handle pre-determined (domains of) situations. Novel situations are difficult to handle adequately and may lead to abnormal or uncontrollable behaviour. The basic ingredients of Organic Computing relate to the guided self-organization by which a typical Life system grows and is maintained in support of dealing with novel subjects. By employing a large number of simple components interacting with each other in an orchestrated way, information processing becomes robust, self-organising, adaptable, decentralized, asynchronous, fault-tolerant and evolvable. Time development is given by the reaction-diffusion principle, while reaction represents local production/extinction of the state, and diffusion means a transport process, tending to dampen any in-homogeneity of the neighbourhood. Organic Computing is a rising topic in Embedded Real-Time Systems, where it boosts advances in the Intelligent Home, Office and Factory by sensory & regulating networks through wearable, swarming and autonomic applications. The road to reality will lead over low-power, low-cost and low-datarate networks and related nodes. Organic Computing can be facilitated by Cellular (Neural) Networks, but are not confined to that. The Special Session will focus on new developments in the hardware & software aspects of the Circuits that create organic behaviour and the evolving Systems. Proposals for contributions to this special session (tutorial or regular) can be mailed before 5 September 2006 to the session organizers Lambert Spaanenburg (lspaanenburg(a)ieee.org) and Peter Szolgay (szolgay(a)sztaki.hu) and should contain at minimum the title, authors and abstract of the proposed paper. If the Special Session will be accepted for the ISCAS on 23 September, the 4-page contributions are expected before 3 November 2006.

Wireless sensor networks are aggregates of sensor nodes into sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures. These new networks are having a significant impact (and promises to have even more) on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, establishing ubiquitous computing that will pervade society and redefine the way in which we live and work. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks are solicited. Papers describing prototype and experimental implementations and deployment of sensor networks and systems are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Sensor-based systems and applications - Operating systems - Middleware and software tools - Networking architectures and protocols - Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination - Topology control - Power management and energy-efficient design - Time synchronization - Location management - Sensor networks with mobile elements - Cross-layer architectures - Intelligent sensor nodes - Security and dependability issues - Modelling and performance evaluation - Measurements PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM). All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF file and submit it through PERDAS (http://www.percom.org/perdas). Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society in the combined PerCom 2007 workshops proceedings.
