[Fwd: [tcgn] CfP SIGCOMM 2003 Workshop MoMeTools]
by Lars Wolf 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] CfP SIGCOMM 2003 Workshop MoMeTools Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2003 11:55:11 +0200 From: Hartmut Ritter <hritter(a)inf.fu-berlin.de> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: <MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de> Call for Papers WORKSHOP ON MODELS, METHODS AND TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE NETWORK RESEARCH (MoMeTools) in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2003, Karlsruhe, Germany 25 August 2003 ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics, network research appears significantly less mature concerning methodology. Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated. While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emula-tion, testbed experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or adjustment between results obtained by different methods. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for net-work research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: - Reproducibility of experimental network research - Investigation of scaling effects - Common code basis for simulation and implementation - Mathematical methods for error assessment - Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes - Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments - Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations - Benchmarking and measurement techniques - Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of tools - Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop will be published. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT The workshop solicits the following types of submissions: 1) Full papers, 2) Position papers on potentially controversial or provocative topics, and 3) Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical session consisting of short presentations combined with live demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to submit an online video clip in addition to a papers. Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are also highly welcome. Papers should not be anonymized. See the submission webpage (not yet available) for full submission requirements in the near future. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de.

Jason Lin, National Chiao Tung Univ. %%%%%% CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mobility and Resource Management IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Manuscript submission date: October 1, 2003 Acceptance notification: January 15, 2004 Final manuscript due: March 15, 2004 Publication date: June 15, 2004 Theme With the rapidly growing demand for "anywhere, anytime" high-speed Internet access, many advanced radio and network technologies have already been developed. Integration of these different technologies will be an essential trend in the near future. In such a heterogeneous environment, the "mobility and resource management" issue becomes very critical, particularly for the QoS support with various kinds of services. Not only user mobility and resource provisioning within a single network should be considered, but also seamless cross network services and interactions should be provided. Many issues need to be addressed for mobility and resource management in heterogeneous wireless networks, including the integration of the mobility protocols adopted in different network; the impacts of user mobility on and the integration with network resource management and power consumption of handheld devices; support of IP protocols on mobile computing systems for seamless tier mobility. Furthermore, security and privacy need to be addressed for roaming users from network to network. Modeling technologies and performance analysis are needed to address new types of mobility and resource management in heterogeneous networks. Topics of Interest This special issue is targeted at the above issues related to mobility and resource management. Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers to this special issue. Topics include, but are not limited to: (a) Mobility and resource management schemes for future telecommunications systems (including UMTS, cdma-2000, and TD-SCDMA) (b) Impact of mobility on and integration with resource management (c) Impact of mobility on power consumption and strategy for energy conservation (d) Mobile IP and SIP mobility (e) Security and privacy Issues in mobility management (f) Mobility and resource aware applications (g) Analytical modeling and performance analysis Submission Instruction All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.

[Fwd: [Tccc] reminder on special feature topic for IEEE Comm Magazine]
by Lars Wolf 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] reminder on special feature topic for IEEE Comm Magazine Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 10:04:19 -0500 From: Chuah, Mooi Choo (Mooi) <chuah(a)lucent.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers Supporting Multimedia Multicast/Broadcast Services in 3G/4G Networks Special Feature Topic of IEEE Communication Magazine Motivation Current 3G system provides point to point service. There is a strong interest to provide multimedia broadcast/multicast service over 3G network. Such multicast services allow unidirectional point-to-multipoint transmission of multimedia data (e.g. text, audio, picture, video) from a single source point to a multicast group in a multicast area. An example of a service using the multicast mode could be a football results service for which a subscription is required. Work has started in 3GPP and 3GPP2 to investigate how to enhance 3G system to provide multicast service. Many design issues need to be worked out before multicast services can be deployed in 3G systems. For an example, questions like how the 3G system admits multicast services, how the radio access network selects between the use of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio bearers to deliver MBMS services, how the network alert MBMS subscribed users on the availability of MBMS streams. Mobility management of MBMS users need to be considered too. Handoffs from one cell/Radio Network Controller to another need to be fast such that packet losses for MBMS streams are acceptable. Since users are expected to be charged for such multicast issues, authentication and security issues related to MBMS needs to be worked out. Scope In response to the above momentum, this special issue aims at providing a timely and concise update of the current activities and findings in this area. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these services. In this context, papers are solicited reporting on representative topics such as: * Enhanced 3G architecture design for MBMS services * Radio resource management strategies for MBMS services * Paging Strategy for MBMS services * Overlay WLAN/3G architecture for providing MBMS services * Airlink Scheduling for MBMS services * Power control issues for MBMS services * Security/Authentication Issues for MBMS services * Performance Studies All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Communication Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. Please submit your electronic manuscript in word or pdf format to one of the guest editors by June 30th, 2003. Earlier submissions are encouraged to allow for a better issue planning.
