-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] December 1-Deadline extension for JSAC SI on Intelligent Services and Applications in Next Generation Networks Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 15:12:29 -0400 From: Mohsen Guizani <mguizani(a)cs.wmich.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: Josef Huber <josef-franz.huber(a)icn.siemens.de>, Mario Gerla <gerla(a)cs.ucla.edu> Based on numerous inquiries, the deadline for paper submission to the JSAC Special on "Intelligent Services and Applications in Next Generation Networks" has been extended to December 1, 2003. Please announce this and pass it to your colleagues. Details of the call is given below. Regards, Mohsen Guizani Mario Gerla ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Special issue on Intelligent Services and Applications in Next Generation Networks Next generation networks are expected to be very complex systems interconnecting different technologies and architectures across various software platforms. No single technology or architecture will be able to smoothly glue together such complex systems into a single network of all networks. DSL and Cable once dominating the access networks will be challenged by new cheap alternatives such as Optical Ethernet, Wireless LANs, Fixed Wireless Access systems such as LMDS, and even dark fiber. Metro networks will also be dominated by an array of technologies from Multiple Service Protocol Platforms (MSPP) to resilient packet rings (RPR) to 10 GB-Ethernet switches, and even OXC switching nodes. The backbone will be superhighways utilizing DWDM, OXC nodes interconnecting Gigabit and Terabit IP routers. 3G and beyond mobile networks will be a corner stone in extending communications services to mobile users.New Services and applications will be supported on these complex systems through upper layer middleware software platforms. These services will no longer be independent static sources of content, rather will have intelligent software to adapt those sources to varying networks conditions, technologies, and platforms. This will be achieved through another intelligent layer of cognitive middleware that is capable of interfacing these services to the underlying network technologies. New services must be capable of receiving information about the network and adaptively tune their transport parameters as well as bit-rates according to the underlying networking conditions/technologies. New Services and contents will need to understand networking traffic parameters, and react accordingly in order to maintain smooth traffic flows in the network and avoid skewness behaviors. The scope of this special issue is to address the research and development efforts of the aforementioned various issues in the area of intelligent services and applications in next generation networks. In particular we are interested in papers dealing with state-of-the-art design and analysis, implementation and experimental results of cognitive and intelligent software agents/services and applications as well as novel architectures for intelligent content delivery. In this context, topics include: . Cognitive middleware . Cognitive Software Agents . Cognitive Services and applications . Novel architectures for intelligent content delivery . Adaptive QoS provisioning issues . Peer-to-peer networking . Adaptive rate video encoding . Intelligent traffic management and control . Experimental test-beds and results . Programmable services interfaces . Intelligent Transport and Routing Protocols . Adaptive, congestion controlled multicast / management and control . Intelligent algorithms . Service-aware congestion and traffic control protocols . Wireless and Mobile issues for intelligent services . Adaptive security issues . Case studies Original, unpublished contributions prepared in accordance to the IEEE J-SAC format will be considered. PAPERS NOT RELATED TO ONE OF THE ABOVE LISTED TOPICS WILL NOT BE REVIEWED. ONLY electronic submissions in PDF format can be sent to any of the listed guest editors. The following timetable shall apply: Manuscript Submission: December 1, 2003 Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: July 1, 2004 Publication: 1st Quarter 2005 Mohsen Guizani, Professor & Chair Department of Computer Science Western Michigan University Email: mguizani(a)cs.wmich.edu Mario Gerla, Professor Computer Science Department UCLA Email: gerla(a)cs.ucla.edu Mamoru Sawahashi, NTT DoCoMo, Japan E-mail: sawahasi(a)mlab.yrp.nttdocomo.co.jp Josef F.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 20:30:04 -0300 From: Nelson Fonseca <nfonseca(a)ic.unicamp.br> To: itc(a)comsoc.org *IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on*** *Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet* Recent technological advances have led to a substantial interest in Internet streaming issues. The reasons for this increased interest are many. Broadband connectivity to home users is now available via technologies such as Cable modems and DSL. Commercial organizations like Akamai have deployed global content distribution networks that allow streaming of content from edge servers, alleviating many of the drawbacks of streaming data over best-effort networks. Despite hurdles in the deployment of IP multicast, application-level multicast of content permits scalable delivery of high bandwidth content to a large number of users. These exciting technological advances have raised a number of interesting researchquestions. How can edge servers (proxies) be employed for scaling the delivery of popular streaming content to very large numbers of users? Can peer-to-peer streaming be used to alleviate the load on popular servers and proxies? How can streaming content be delivered effectively to small devices such as PDAs and cell phones? How can techniques such as multi-path streaming be used to reduce packet loss How feasible is it to use TCP for streaming content? The Feature issue on "Proxy Support for Streaming in the Internetis" is devoted to these emerging issues in Internet streaming. *Potential topics of interest include:* Scalable video delivery Peer to peer streaming Multi-path streaming TCP streaming Edge servers and content delivery networks for streaming *Schedule* *Submission Deadline: December 1st, 2003* Acceptance Notification: March 15, 2004 Final Manuscript: May 1st, 2004 Publication: August 2004 *Submission* Papers can be of tutorial nature or present new research and development material.

Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), critical infrastructure protection (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and situational awareness for battlefield applications. Information processing in sensor networks draws upon many disciplines including signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity. This Symposium will address issues from physical device design, to signal processing and from networking to coordination protocols. The Symposium will place special attention to revolutionary new applications that are enabled by sensor network technology. Topical areas of sensor networks include, but not limited to: * Distributed and collaborative signal processing * Network protocols for sensor networks * Coding, compression, and information theory * Distributed query processing * Detection, classification, estimation, and tracking * Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity * Sensor tasking and control * Embedded architectures and tools * In-network processing and aggregation * Data storage in sensor networks * Location and time services * Energy and resource management * Distributed inference and fusion * Programming models and languages * Real-time scheduling * Security and fault tolerance * Simulation tools and environments * Networked sensing and control * Applications of sensor networks (e.g., automotive, battlefield, biology, construction, disaster recovery, environmental, medical, security) Along with a set of high-quality technical papers, IPSN'04 will also include invited talks that highlight the state-of-the-art of sensor network applications and research. The Symposium program will include poster sessions that provide researchers with opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the sensor network community at large. The Symposium will also include industrial exhibition and demonstrations. KEY DATES Abstract submission: October 27, 2003 Full manuscript due: November 3, 2003 (firm deadline) Acceptance notification: January 20, 2004 Camera-ready copy: February 14, 2004 Conference: April 26-27, 2004 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE All papers will be submitted electronically, in Portable Document Format (PDF) format.
