-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CFP] 3rd International Workshops on Middleware for Pervasive and Ad-hoc Computing Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2005 11:17:21 +0200 From: Christian Becker <christian.becker(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- *** OUR SINCERE APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES OF THIS CFP *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd International Workshops on Middleware for Pervasive and Ad-hoc Computing http://www.smartlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/MPAC/ A Workshop of Middleware 2005 Grenoble, France November 28th - December 2nd, 2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Workshop papers submission deadline: August 26th, 2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Problem Space ------------- Building on the success of the 2003 and 2004 workshops, this workshop seeks to build on the results presented in a special issue of the Journal for Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, and to develop a roadmap for research on the essential middleware abstractions and infrastructures for ad-hoc and pervasive computing in general, and sensor-based services in particular. A synthesis of the discussion that took place in the MPAC 2003 and 2004 workshops has led to the identification of the following areas where pervasive and ad-hoc environments challenge existing middleware: 1. Middleware support for programming adaptation and the associated decision making process. 2. Security, privacy and trust in pervasive environments and ad-hoc communities. 3. Benchmarks and frameworks for the comparative evaluation of middleware approaches for pervasive and ad-hoc computing. 4. Middleware abstraction and infrastructures for sensor based services. Although, the above challenges form a set of potential themes for the workshop, this list is by no means exhaustive. Consequently, the workshop seeks papers on the areas, but not limited to, listed below: . Sensor networks: applications, infrastructure, middleware support and emerging standards (OMG DDS, IEEE/NIST 1451.x, OSGi WireAdmin, JSR256 & 257 .); . Calculi for sensor data, and middleware support for their processing and distribution; . Sensor data mining; . Component-based and service-oriented architectures, and design patterns for sensor based services; . Theoretical foundations and middleware support for context based adaptation for mobile pervasive systems, and sensor-based services; . New notations for specifying context-sensitive systems; . Ad-hoc communities: applications, infrastructure and middleware support; . Roles and responsibilities in ad-hoc communities; . Group management and communication support for ad-hoc communities; . Ad-hoc network communications, quality of service, management and middleware support; . Service-connection middleware and architectures; . Support for zero configuration; . Middleware for self-assembly, self-configuration, self-distribution and autonomic computing in general; . Data management infrastructures for ad hoc and pervasive systems; . Trust, security, and privacy for pervasive systems and sensor based services; . Reliability and availability in pervasive systems and sensor based services; . Technology trade-offs (agent infrastructures, mobile code systems, event based middleware); . Resource discovery and management; . Implications of heterogeneity (addressing needs for protocol interaction across technologies). Submission ---------- The workshop format will be focused around submission of position papers of no more than 8 pages. Please submit your papers in PS or PDF using the ACM proceeding format (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html) to the web site http://www-adele.imag.fr/mpac05/ocs. Papers are solicited that present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area, identify specific middleware challenges, and suggest potential avenues for exploration by proposing models, abstractions and infrastructure components addressing these challenges. Approximately two thirds of the workshop will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of these papers, while the remaining third of the time will be devoted to the development of the research roadmap. Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the programme committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap and to stimulate discussion. All accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library as well as in a hard-copy companion proceedings issued to the workshop participants. Appropriate publication of extended versions of workshop submissions and the research roadmap along similar lines to the forthcoming special issue on middleware and systems software for pervasive computing of the Journal of Personal and Ubiquitous, is being investigated.

The conference will build on the tradition of the earlier conferences. The general idea is to encourage informal interaction and exchanges of ideas by limiting the number of participants, concentrating on a few topics, and by presenting new problems and problem areas. The objective is to advance the state of the modeling and analysis in telecommunications by stimulating research activity on new and important problems. The conference will be divided into segments with each segment devoted to a specific topic. This will allow for little conflict between segments. Papers will be screened by the Program Committee <http://atsma.org/ICTSM2005/committee2005.html> to ensure the quality of presentations. Abstracts and papers should be submitted directly to the Conference Chairman <mailto:gavishb2000@yahoo.com> who will handle its review. Social and cultural activities will be included in the 2005 agenda. The Program Committee <http://atsma.org/ICTSM2005/committee2005.html> is open to any ideas you might have regarding additional topics or format of the conference. The intention is, to limit the number of parallel sessions to three. The conference is scheduled over a weekend to reduce teaching conflicts for academic participants and to enable participants to take advantage of weekend hotel and airfare rates. Potential participants should send by July 1, 2005 an extended abstract or a full paper to the conference general chair. The technical program committee will evaluate the papers, and a decision will be sent to the authors by August 1, 2005 with instructions for the final version of the paper, which is due by October 1, 2005. Full paper contributions will be considered for publication in the Telecommunication Systems <http://www.wkap.nl/journalhome.htm/1018-4864> Journal or the Electronic Commerce Research <http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,4-0-70-35740341-0,0…> Journal.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: MHWMN'05 Workshop Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 21:16:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: "OptimaNumerics" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> First Call for Papers ===================== The IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks 2005 (IEEE MHWMN'05) (http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2005/CFP.html) To be held in conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2005) Washington DC, USA, November 7-11, 2005 AIM and SCOPE ------------- The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. TOPICS ------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: -Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management -Quality of services (QoS) delivery in MHWMN -Robust and scalable routing protocols for MHWMN -MAC protocols for MHWMN -Self-configuration and synchronization for MHWMN -Security issues in MHWMN -Topology control and management for MHWMN -Mobility models and location management in MHWMN -Cross-layer design and interactions for MHWMN -Modeling and performance evaluation for MHWMN -Algorithms for localization and signal processing in MHWMN -Implementation testbeds for MHWMN -Operating systems and middleware for MHWMN SUBMISSIONS ----------- Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is eight (8) pages. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format), contact addresses, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses (text format) to the co-chairs Qing-An Zeng (qzeng(a)ececs.uc.edu) and Mieso Denko (denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca) by July 1, 2005.
