-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: IEEE Int'l Workshop on QoS (IWQoS 2006) Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 00:12:51 -0500 (EST) From: Dongyan Xu <dxu(a)cs.purdue.edu> To: Dongyan Xu <dxu(a)cs.purdue.edu> Dear colleague: We would like to bring to your attention the upcoming deadlines of IWQoS 2006. Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. Paper registration and submission deadlines are 2/20 and 2/27/2006. -- IWQoS organizing committee ---------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Fourteenth IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2006) June 19-21, 2006 Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA OVERVIEW Since 1994, IWQoS has evolved into a premier workshop providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting edge research on quality of service (QoS). Building on the successes of previous workshops, the objective of IWQoS 2006 is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in the area to discuss timely research results, and to identify future directions and challenges in developing practical computer/networking systems where predictable, controlled, and robust performance is a central requirement. The workshop's scope will broadly cover all the important aspects of QoS research: in networking (wireline, wireless, and sensor networks), distributed systems, operating systems, servers, and middleware (such as grid computing and peer-to-peer systems), where relevant technical issues include availability, reliability, security, pricing, incentive, resource management, and performance guarantees. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): o QoS in grid, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless mesh networks o QoS in large-scale distributed systems o System dependability, availability, resilience, and robustness o Security as a QoS parameter o Rationality, incentive, microeconomics, and self-interest in decentralized networks o QoS in wireless, mobile, ad hoc, and sensor networks o QoS specification, translation, and adaptation o Measurement-based QoS estimation and verification o QoS in intranets and VoIP systems We also solicit papers in the following areas: o QoS architectures and protocols o QoS analysis and modeling o Resource management and admission control o QoS routing o QoS pricing and billing o Evaluation metrics and methodologies for QoS o Content delivery networks with service/performance guarantees o QoS in web systems and storage systems o Programmability and language features supporting QoS o QoS in multimedia systems o Service Level Agreements and QoS o Server-side QoS and its roles in end-to-end QoS provisioning o QoS-aware middleware frameworks and services o Integrated and differentiated services in wide-area networks The workshop is a single track forum of two and a half days. It is cross-disciplinary and well focused, with an emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of the meeting time will be devoted to informal discussions. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions. BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD Award will be given at the conference to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student. IMPORTANT DATES Paper abstract deadline: February 20, 2006 Paper submission deadline: February 27, 2006 Notification of acceptance: March 31, 2006 Camera-ready papers due: April 20, 2006 Workshop dates: June 19-21, 2006 ORGANIZINIG COMMITTEE TPC co-chairs Yang Richard Yang, Yale University (yry(a)cs.yale.edu) David K Y Yau, Purdue University (yau(a)cs.purdue.edu) Publicity chair Jelena Mirkovic, Univ of Delaware (sunshine(a)cis.udel.edu) Steering Committee Nina Bhatti, Hewlett Packard Laboratories, USA Hermann De Meer, University of Passau, Germany Kevin Jeffay, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA Baochun Li, University of Toronto, Canada Ion Stoica, University of California, Berkeley, USA Zhi-Li Zhang, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA FOR FURTHER INFORMATION Please visit http://www-net.cs.yale.edu/iwqos06

Akan <akan(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [ We apologize in advance for the multiple copies of this CFP. ] ------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS MOBIMEDIA 2006 Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference (formerly MSAN) September 18-20, 2006 -- Alghero, Sardinia, Italy http://www.mobimedia.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE The successful development of multimedia services and applications in mobile environments requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach where both multimedia and networking issues are addressed jointly. Multimedia data characteristics, coding standards functionalities, as well as network protocols performance and channel behavior are some of the key aspects that need to be carefully examined when proposing new solutions. Many are the applications that are going to be enabled by the new standards for mobile networking, such as packet telephony, video mail, video streaming, audio conferencing, interactive gaming, conversational navigation services, digital television, infomobility, and immersive communications in virtual environments. Some of these novel networking protocols and technologies include IEEE 802.11 (infrastructured, mesh, and sensor networks), 802.15, 802.16, UWB, DVB-H, Bluetooth, Mobile IP and its variants. Within this scope, MobiMedia is intended to provide a unique international forum for researchers working in multimedia and mobile networking fields to study new applications, solutions, and standards. Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient technologies and the relevant provision of advanced mobile multimedia applications. TECHNICAL PROGRAMS The technical program features a key-note speech from Roberto Cencioni (Head of Unit INFSO E2, EC) and Albert Gauthier (DG Information Society, EC) on the 7th Work program and the EU IST vision. The conference will also include invited panels, to facilitate for exchanging ideas and discussion, and specific sessions and workshops on focused interest areas. Submissions of proposals on workshops and special sessions on emerging topics are invited. Please submit proposals to Technical Program Chairs and Workshop Chairs. PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Prospective authors are invited to submit extended summaries of not more than five pages including figures and references.

Sensor nodes are usually battery-powered and energy-constrained, so energy efficiency is of primary importance for the operational lifetime of a sensor network. Novel signal processing technologies, network architectures, protocols, algorithms and applications are needed to improve the energy efficiency and prolong the lifetime of sensor nodes and sensor networks. There are extensive efforts happening in energy-conscious network topology control, collaborative signal processing, media access control (MAC), variable topology multi-hop routing, flow and error control, and domain-specific application design. Novel cross-layer approaches have also been emerging to address the energy efficiency issue through a combined solution via efforts from different layers. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to keep a record of the state-of-the-art research in this fast moving area, and to promote further research interests and activities on energy-efficient algorithm and protocol design in sensor networks. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Network topology control * Collaborative signal processing * Optimal power control * Network reconfiguration architectures and protocols * Mobility management in mobile sensor networks * Energy aware task and resource allocation * Energy-conscious scheduling and media access control * Variable topology multi-hop routing * Flow and error control * Energy-aware transport protocol * Energy/efficiency/security tradeoffs * Cross-layer protocol design and development * Inter-connection between sensor networks and the Internet * Sensor networks testbeds, experiments, algorithms and measurements Important Dates Manuscript due: 1 July, 2006 Acceptance/rejection notification: 1 November, 2006 Final manuscript due: 31 December, 2006 Guest Editors: Dr. Lin Cai, University of Victoria, Canada Dr. Xuemin (Sherman) Shen, University of Waterloo, Canada All papers are refereed through a peer review process.
