It involves important technological areas like computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), workflow, computer- assisted design, databases, distributed systems, and concurrent programming. In the past few years, the prosperity of cooperative computing has been accelerated by the ubiquity of the Internet and the advent of wireless technologies, giving rise to the new research discipline of Collaborative Internet Computing (CIC). Now, cooperating parties can work over the Internet at any time and place. At the same time, we have also witnessed an enormous leap in communication speed/bandwidth as brought by advancement in technologies. This has opened up a wide range of new cooperative applications that were not feasible in the past. Since 2000, a series of three workshops on CIC have been organized by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The workshops have served as a platform for researchers in the related disciplines of CIC to present and exchange their latest works and ideas. Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of high quality submissions. Also, many important research results have been reported which subsequently have influenced other works on CIC. These have strengthened our belief that a community with common interest in CIC has been formed and a critical mass of researchers has been built up. This special issue will provide a forum for timely and in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying Cooperative Interactive Computing. Topics of interest include (but not limited to): * Agents and Brokers for Cooperative Computing * Human-Computer Interaction * Interaction Models and Protocols for Cooperative Systems * Internet Communication Infrastructure for Collaboration * Middleware for Collaboration * Java, CORBA, DCOM, and XML Cooperative Application * Workflow Systems * Mobile Cooperative Systems * Distributed Multimedia Systems * Enterprise Knowledge Management * Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing * Computer-Supported Cooperative Work * Evaluation Methodologies of Cooperative Systems * Case Studies Submission Guidelines: Please submit the electronic version of your paper to cic2004(a)comp.polyu.edu.hk.

[Fwd: [Tccc] ACM VANET 2005 - Deadline Extended]
by Lars Wolf 06 May '05

06 May '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ACM VANET 2005 - Deadline Extended Date: Thu, 5 May 2005 17:59:48 -0700 From: Chen-Nee Chuah <chuah(a)ece.ucdavis.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> In response to numerous requests, the submission deadline for ACM VANET 2005 has been extended to May 16, 2005. =========================================== CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2005 The Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2005 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Web site: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 16, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2005 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 13, 2005 The goal of this workshop is to explore the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Enabled by short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-roadside), the VANET vision includes vehicular realtime and safety applications, sharing the wireless channel with mobile applications from a large, decentralized array of commercial service providers. VANET safety applications include collision and other safety warnings. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. Following the success of VANET 2004 held last year in Philadelphia, VANET 2005, the Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks, will be held in Cologne, Germany, September 2, 2005, in conjunction with MobiCom 2005. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Safety and commercial applications * Protocol design (including low-power, cross-layer, etc.) * Security and privacy * Power control * Multi-channel organization and operation * Network management * Modulation and coding * Channel modeling The opportunities for VANET are growing rapidly. In December 2003, the U.S. FCC approved 75 MHz of spectrum for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), and the resulting DSRC system is expected to be the first wide-scale VANET in North America. In Japan, two DSRC standards have been adopted (the ARIB STD-T75 in 2001, the ARIB STD-T88 in 2004), and Japanese auto manufactures are working with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation in the third phase of an ambitious Advanced Safety Vehicle project. The German Ministry of Education and Research has sponsored the Fleetnet and Network on Wheels projects. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs. Creating high-performance, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community. Yet, certain limitations commonly assumed in ad hoc networks are mitigated in VANET. For example, VANET may marshal ample computational and power resources. Mobility patterns are constrained by road paths and driving speed restrictions. As opposed to sensor networks, VANET represents high resource/performance wireless technologies. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch × 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2005 web page at http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Please email questions related to paper submission or the technical program to vanet2005-pc-chairs(a)monarch.cs.rice.edu .

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Paper: JSAC-MRNM Date: Tue, 3 May 2005 10:56:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Fan Zhao <fanzhao(a)ucdavis.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications MOBILE ROUTERS AND NETWORK MOBILITY http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/mobile_routers.html Network mobility support is concerned with managing the mobility of an entire network that is changing its point of attachment to the Internet and thus its reachability in the Internet topology. If network mobility is not explicitly supported by some mechanisms, existing sessions break and connectivity to the global Internet is lost. A mobile network is composed of Mobile Router(s) (MR) and Mobile Network Nodes (MNN) that can be fixed or mobile. There has been rapid development in network mobility support, i.e., providing Internet connectivity to the networks that move using mobile routers since the inception of Mobile IPv4 in 1996. Seamless Internet access in public transportation such as in trains and busses can be possible if mobile routers are used. Cars with low-power sensors seamlessly connected to the Internet constitute yet another example of networks which move. To date, some airline companies announced Internet connectivity support during commercial flights and this trend is expected to accelerate and cover most if not all flights. This issue is focused on modeling, analysis, and simulation of network mobility support protocols. We solicit papers presenting original and unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics: * Modeling and Analysis of Network Mobility o Modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile router o Protocols for route optimization o Mobility issues inside a mobile network o Mobile IPv6 extensions for route optimization o Nested mobile networks o Multihomed mobile networks o Operational issues to deploy mobile networks o Auto-configuration for mobile networks o Mobile router support on cellular phone platforms * Services in the Networks that Move o Service advertisement and discovery protocols in networks that move o Specifications nad models of services for network mobility o Encryption and authentication in service access for network mobility * Security Issues in Network Mobility o Security analysis of present network mobility support protocols o Applications of AAA and EAP to network mobility o Interaction with security-enhanced modules in other layers (vertically) or other middle boxes (horizontally) Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. Authors MUST submit their draft manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website, together with a short abstract (approximately 150 words) in the EDAS website form. Please note potential authors should create their own accounts through the EDAS peer review website before submitting manuscript(s). EDAS will accept manuscripts in PDF format only. There will be one round of reviewers and acceptance will be limited to those papers requiring only moderate revisions.

This forum is an ideal way to demonstrate your tool, system, application or brave new idea without having to bring the equipment for a "live" demo. Even if you have never made a video before, we encourage you to consider this opportunity for Video Submissions at ACM Multimedia 2005. Video Submissions Category There are three categories of video submissions: + Video demonstrations (8 minutes) - gives a self-explanatory demo of a tool, system, or application. In addition we would like to encourage media artists to submit work that exemplifies new trends in video art or describes an interactive multimedia art application. + Video visions (8 minutes) - describes a new brave idea of multimedia technology. + Video figures (3 minutes) - accompanies a regular or short paper submission and serves as an illustration. Accepted video demonstrations and video visions are presented during the video demonstration session, whereas video figures are presented together with the paper during the allocated session. Videos will be published on a dedicated web site at the SIGMM website (see http://www.sigmm.org/apache/video2004/ - for previous years). The best video demonstration and video vision will get a special podium. Submission details and information: http://acmmm05.comp.nus.edu.sg/videoprogram.html ************************************************************************ ******* -- Letter from Larry Rowe -- An Open Letter to the SIGMM Community: I am writing this message to ask for your help with the new ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications (TOMCCAP). Many of you know that the community was unhappy that the Springer-Verlag MMS Journal was not included in the ACM Digital Library and that it did not incorporate networking and applications specifically in it's topic area. As a result, a recommendation was made at the SIGMM Retreat at Multimedia 2003 that we create our own journal to be published by ACM. Professor Nicolas Georganas generously agreed to undertake the task of creating the journal, which just published its first issue - see http://www.acm.org/tomccap/ The transactions will be published four times per year. We need your support to make this an outstanding publication. Please consider submitting papers and agreeing to review papers sent to you by members of the editorial board. At the very least, I think 20%-30% of the papers published in our annual conference should appear in the transactions. The ACM rules on prior publication require that the journal paper be at least 25% different than the prior publication. We all know that the limitation on pages imposed by the conference proceedings constrains our ability to explain all of the algorithms, experiments, and nuances in a research project. Consequently, it should be easy to modify a conference publication for the transactions. Another way you could support the transactions would be to consider editing a special issue on an important topic. I suspect each of the workshops at the Multimedia Conference could identify and shepard 3-4 important papers that reflect the important ideas in the area. Having been a guest editor, I know this is a lot of work. But, please consider doing it as the contribution you will be making is both valuable and, dare I say, good for your career. To submit a paper or investigate other issues related to the transactions, just go to the TOMCCAP website listed above. Best wishes, Larry Rowe TOMCAP web site - http://www.acm.org/tomccap/

Each scholarship covers the SOSP conference registration, including meals and proceedings, and a shared hotel room during the conference. Additional funding may be awarded toward the cost of travel. Scholarships will be awarded by the scholarship committee based on a combination of need and merit. Students receiving scholarships must agree to serve as a session scribe (if required) during the conference. Applicants are encouraged to participate in the poster session and work-in-progress presentations. Funding is available to all students at educational institutions, world-wide. Members of groups historically under-represented at SOSP are especially encouraged to apply. Although most applicants in past years have been graduate students, undergraduates who are actively involved in systems research projects are welcome to apply. Applications are due on August 30, 2005. Information on how to apply can be found by following the link off of the SOSP web page, available at the following URL: http://www.sosp-20.com/scholarships.htm Please forward this announcement to any student interested in attending the conference.
