-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ACM/MC2R "Wireless PAN & Sensor Networks" CFP Date: Mon, 26 May 2003 20:22:54 +0300 From: Theodore Zahariadis <zahariad(a)ellemedia.com> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM/SIGMOBILE MC2R MOBILE COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW A PUBLICATION OF ACM SIGMOBILE Call For Papers Special Issue on: "Wireless PAN & Sensor Networks" Objectives Despite of the worldwide recession, especially in the telecommunications market, and the delays in the 3G mobile networks' deployment, the vision of a new forth generation (4G) all-IP mobile/wireless network is emerging rapidly. In the forthcoming 4G era, apart from the installed infrastructure based networks, Wireless Personal Area Networks (PANs) and sensor networks are expected to fulfil the "anywhere and anytime" ubiquitous services' requirement. Users will require forming "ad-hoc" networks to communicate with colleagues at work, at conferences, at "hot-spots", at home, or on the move. Moreover Personal Area Networks (PAN) centred on the individual himself will evolve. PAN networks will include any collection of devices that belong to or are carried by a networked user (e.g. cell phone, laptop, earphones, GPS navigator, palm pilot, beeper, portable scanner, etc.) and form his/her personal "PAN-bubble". The bubble may expand or shrink dynamically depending on user's environment and needs. For example it may connect to routers, sensors or actuators. Such access is critical when the mobile user enters into a new location and aims to quickly sense and control the environment (e.g. gain access/ connectivity, control the temperature, adjust the lighting) or get recognized by the environment sensors (e.g. welcome message, uninterrupted communication, automatic selection of a background music, etc.) Wireless PAN and sensor networks will require sophisticated algorithmic solutions to realize and maintain high-speed, cost-effective, energy-efficient and reliable wireless networks. This special issue aims to bringing together state-of-the-art contributions and provide a comprehensive and updated reference in this field. In this context, the challenges, the protocols, the applications and the technologies that enable the wireless PANs and sensor networks will be addressed. This special issue of the MC2R is devoted to the future ad-hoc networks i.e. Wireless Personal Area Networks & Sensor Networks. The purpose is to disseminate the recent advances and research activities in these fields and provide a comprehensive and updated reference. In this context, the challenges, the protocols, the applications and the technologies that enable the wireless PANs and sensor networks will be addressed. More specifically, the special issue will cover topics that include the architecture, routing and QoS protocols, modelling, performance evaluation, and experimentation of ad-hoc PANs and sensor networks. Particularly encouraged are articles from industry that discuss the latest industrial advances. Topics Original research and review papers are solicited that cover (but are not limited to) any of the following areas: - Self-organized, auto-configured ad-hoc networks - Intelligent multi-hop routing in ad-hoc PAN/sensor networks - QoS in ad-hoc PAN networks - Multimedia ad-hoc communications - Resource discovery and self-configuration of - Applications in Wireless PANs/sensor networks - Radio resource management - WPANs in 4G networks - Intelligent mobile agents - Implementation and performance evaluation MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Paper submission will be handled electronically. Authors should format their manuscripts according to the guidelines in http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigmobile/MC2R/submission_guidelines.html and should e-mail a PDF, PostScript or MS Word version to Dr. Theodore B. Zahariadis at the address below. Note that all sources of accepted papers should be available in order to rebuild the papers for final typesetting (LaTeX is strongly encouraged).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] 2nd CFP: JSAC special issue on Advanced Mobility Management and QoS protocols for Wireless Internet Date: Fri, 23 May 2003 12:18:53 -0400 From: haitao zheng <haitaoz(a)lucent.com> Organization: Lucent Technologies To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Advanced Mobility Management and QoS protocols for Wireless Internet The next generation of networking systems will be data-centric where mobility and QoS support are the two critical issues. The convergence of telecom, datacom and mobile world has created a multi-service, multi-platform network of the new world: namely mobile wireless Internet. User mobility has created a new dimension in many research areas, including inter network and inter service roaming, mobility management, Quality of Service (QoS), resource management, network architecture and protocols, mobile multimedia applications and services, etc. New wireless network architectures are being proposed to cope with diverse applications, levels of mobility, and traffic types. Advanced mobility management techniques will support seamless IP connection across different networks, and provide end-to-end QoS support. A QoS-enable multi-service-based high-speed backbone network is required to carry large amounts of packet-switched data for both wireline and wireless access. This special issue of the JSAC will be devoted to the Advanced Architectures, Protocols, and Applications for wireless mobile Internet, in particular, mobility management, QoS provisioning and the interaction between the two. We seek original, previously unpublished, and completed contributions, not currently under review by another journal. Contributions emphasizing recent advances and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Network Architectures and protocols for wireless Internet * Integration and internetworking of wired and wireless networks * Inter network and inter service roaming solutions * Interoperability in multi-provider access networks * Inter/intra domain QoS protocols and mechanisms * Mobility management, in particular, QoS-aware mobility management * Related standards (3GPP, MWIF, 3G.IP, ETSI, IETF,...) * Multimedia applications and services for different networks and user terminals * System architecture, protocol stack and reference model Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts in accordance with JSAC policies, and submit four copies of their manuscript to one of the guest editors. Papers may also be submitted electronically by e-mail to jsac2003(a)ece.gatech.edu Important dates are the following: Manuscript submission: Acceptance notification: Final manuscript due: Publication: June 1, 2003 October 1, 2003 December 1, 2003 2nd Quarter, 2004 Guest editors (in alphabetic order) Prof. Hamid Aghvami King's College London University of London Strand London WC2R 2LS UK hamid.aghvami(a)kcl.ac.uk Prof. Aura Ganz ECE Department University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003 ganz(a)ecs.umass.edu Prof. Raghupathy Sivakumar ECE Department Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332 siva(a)ece.gatech.edu Dr. Haitao Zheng Bell Labs Lucent Technologies 791 Holmdel-Keyport Rd.
