With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer.

Networks now include media such as wired, wireless, ad hoc, WiFi, WiMax, and satellite. In essence, the entire planet is engulfed in information overflow because of networked computing devices, such as supercomputer centers, data repositories, and data centers. The aforementioned advancements are plausible and must be appreciated. However, researchers have not actively explored novel computer network architectures and communication protocols that reduce carbon footprint. Techniques and methodologies, such as the co-scheduling of computational, storage, and network resources, dynamic circuit management, virtualization, migration, remote I/O utilization, redundancy, and information mitigation promise interesting and viable solutions that can enable green networking. The special issue will primarily focus on theoretical and practical novel solutions that advance the research in green networking. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Future green network architectures and communication protocols • Energy-efficient access networks • Overlay networks • Peer-to-peer networking • Content-based energy-efficient networking • Network virtualization • Traffic engineering for maintaining an energy-efficient network • Multi-layer and multi-domain green networks • Green congestion control protocols • Network planning and optimization for green networking • Energy-efficient transmission technologies • Energy management in communication networks • Energy-efficient mobile and wireless access networks • Cross-layer optimization techniques for efficient energy consumption • Energy-efficient switch and base station architectures • Network survivability and network resilience strategies • Provisioning, monitoring, and management of networks • Traffic measurement and analysis • Green architectures for next generation routers • Appliance energy management in home and office networks • Instrumentation, tools and profiling techniques for energy consumption Guest Editors ------------- Samee U.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] {Spam? 4.57 } IEEE Wireless Comm. Magazine: deadline approaching for “Internet of Things” S.I. Datum: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:03:26 +0100 Von: Antonio Iera <antonio.iera(a)unirc.it> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ******************************************************************* IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? Manuscript Due March 15th, 2010 ******************************************************************* Call for Papers Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine In the last few years, a stimulating idea is fast emerging in the wireless scenario: the pervasive presence around us of a variety of "things" or "objects", such as devices, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, which, through unique addressing schemes, are able to interact with each other and cooperate with their neighboring "smart" components to reach common goals. This novel paradigm, named "The Internet of Things", continues on the path set by the concept of smart environment and paves the way to the deployment of numerous applications with a significant impact on many fields of future every-day life. In this context, logistics, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Business/Process management, assisted living, e-health are only a few examples of possible application fields in which this novel paradigm will play a leading role. How to implement this novel paradigm and how effective its introduction into citizens' every-day life is, still remains to be investigated. Key objectives of any R&D activity in the field are: efficient and effective wireless spectrum utilization, full interoperability of "smarts" devices, their adaptation and autonomous behavior, as well as trust, privacy, and security guarantees. From a wireless communications and networking perspective, the Internet of Things idea raises several challenging issues to address and technological nodes to untie. Which major technological innovations and developments are still required to enable a level of "ambient intelligence", characterized by the integration of wired and wireless "smart" components? Which sustainable standards, technologies, global communication protocols, and algorithms at the various layers of the system protocol stack (from the physical to the application layer) shall be introduced with the aim of allowing a vast amount of information to be shared amongst things and people when wireless links and technologies are involved? Which is the role of widely accepted wireless communications paradigms for peer to peer communications, machine-to-machine communications, and machine-to-network communications in a IoT perspective? Could the use of middleware mechanisms represent a feasible and effective solution to the problem of integrating Radio Frequency devices and wireless sensors into a common IoT framework? Are the proposed trust, privacy, and security models able to make people trust in these novel technologies instead of being afraid of an external surveillance and, more relevantly, are they still effective when involved "things" communicate wirelessly? An attempt to provide a partial answer to these and many other related questions will form the main scope of the present special issue. More specifically we are interested in the wireless communications and networking aspects involved by the introduction of the Internet of Things concept, and therefore solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Internet of Things infrastructures, communication systems, network architectures * Mobile Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks * Network management, distributed processing (e.g. access, scheduling, radio resource management, etc.), scalability, and cooperation issues in integrated wired-wireless scenarios for the Internet of Things * Internet of Things enabling ubiquitous and wireless technologies * Security and privacy management for wirelessly communicating "things" and users * RFID technology and RFID middleware * Electromagnetic aspects related to the Internet of Things * Machine-to-machine and machine-to-network communications in the presence of wireless links * Inter-vehicle communications and seamless connectivity * Location and tracking through navigation sensors * Internet of Things applications in research projects * Standardization and regulation (e.g. spectrum allocation and radio frequency exposure protection) issues for the Internet of Things Submission of original contributions is solicited on the above topics as well as others relevant to the "Internet of Things" concept. All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TAC SI on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TAC SI on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks Datum: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 09:53:50 +0800 Von: Jiming Chen <jmchen(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *Call for Papers* IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL Special Issue on *Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks* Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), in their various shapes and forms, have greatly facilitated and enhanced the automated, remote, and intelligent monitoring of a large variety of physical systems. These networks consist of a large number of typically small devices, each incorporating sensing, processing, and wireless communications capabilities. Their use has penetrated a plethora of application domains from industrial and building automation, to environmental, wildlife, and health monitoring. The control and systems community has played an important role in the maturing of WSNs addressing issues related to their fundamental limits and designing strategies to optimize and control their operation so as to improve performance. Performance encompasses a variety of metrics that may vary with the application but in all cases includes the network's energy use which determines its usable lifetime. As WSN nodes are powered by small batteries, energy conservation has become a very important concern. Equally importantly, the existence of WSNs has provided a major application context to theoretical contributions of the control community including cooperative and distributed control, event-based monitoring, discrete-event systems, and consensus algorithms. What is emerging as the next step in the WSN evolution is their use not only in monitoring but also in controlling a physical system. To that end, some of the WSN nodes have to be augmented by integrating actuators. Actuators can be simple devices programmed to take immediate, one-shot, action in response to sensory input, or they can be more sophisticated entities (like robots) that interact with their environment in more complex ways. The resulting augmented version of WSNs is commonly referred to as Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs). WSANs are therefore heterogeneous networks that comprise of networked sensor and actuator nodes that communicate among each other using wireless links to perform distributed sensing and actuation tasks. WSANs can be used to close loops over the network in a variety of applications, such as, environmental control, event detection and suppression, home automation, manufacturing, microclimate control, surveillance etc. The control community has recently made important contributions in understanding control over communication channels but this work has, for the most part, abstracted the communication medium. A new challenge is to consider a WSAN as the communications channel over which we seek to close control loops. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: < Autonomous sensor networks < Co-design of communication protocols and control strategies < Architectural, modeling and simulation of WSANs < Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication < Sensor-actuator and actuator-actuator coordination < Distributed control in sensor-actuator networks < Biologically inspired communication in WSANs < Applications and prototypes. *Submission Details:* All papers submitted to the special issue will be subject to peer review in accordance with the established practices of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. Papers that do not fall within the scope of the special issue will be returned to the authors without review, to enable them to submit them as regular papers through the normal channels. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to the Corresponding Guest Editor, Ivan Stojmenovic, through the Transactions submission site http://css.paperplaza.net/journals/tac/scripts/login.pl (once you login, click on "Submit a new paper to IEEE-TAC" and select the type of submission to correspond to the special issue). The manuscript format should follow the guidelines posted at the website: http://css.paperplaza.net/journals/tac/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Computer Networks Journal Special Issue: Architectures and Protocols for the Future Internet Datum: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:03:40 +0100 Von: Lars Eggert <lars.eggert(a)nokia.com> An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Computer Networks Journal – Special Issue Architectures and Protocols for the Future Internet The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, the architecture has been losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management requirements have given rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regard to its original design principles. Consequently, the research community has been actively looking for new approaches to evolve or supersede the Internet architecture. Substantial academic efforts in Europe, the Americas and Asia, as well as within the vendor and network operator communities have resulted in promising proposals to address the limitations of the current Internet architecture. This special issue of the Computer Networks Journal solicits original, high-quality papers that present, analyze and discuss revolutionary "clean slate" or evolutionary "dirty slate" Internet architectures, "future-proofing" improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, routing, transport and application layers, or new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture. Related topics, such as measurement studies or mathematical models that analyze and quantify Internet scalability issues, studies into architectural design principles that enable evolution, interworking technologies with the existing Internet, and others are also within the scope of the special issue. About the Computer Networks Journal Computer Networks is a scientific journal of computer and telecommunications networking published by Elsevier. Computer Networks is an international, archival journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in the computer communications networking area. The audience includes researchers, managers and operators of networks as well as designers and implementors. Submission Format Submissions should be clearly organized, written in excellent English and must describe original, complete research not published or currently under review by other journals or conferences. Substantially enhanced and extended versions of quality papers presented at conferences or workshops may be submitted with the differences to the previous version clearly described. All submissions will be peer reviewed. The guest editors reserve the right to reject submissions that are clearly out of scope or well below the expected quality for this special journal issue without further review. Submission Guidelines Authors must prepare and format their submissions according to the "Guide for Authors" available from http://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/ and submit them online at the same URL, choosing "SI-Future Internet" as the article type.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC SI -- Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers
by Lars Wolf 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC SI -- Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers Datum: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:06:59 -0500 Von: Jaudelice de Oliveira <jau(a)ece.drexel.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- Remote control, media streaming, and interactive multimedia applications are becoming increasingly prevalent uses of the Internet and cellular networks. Because these applications require high rate and low latency, they are not well matched to best effort statistically multiplexed network architectures. In order to efficiently and reliably deliver such low latency high rate services, it is necessary to understand the fundamental and practical tradeoffs between rate and delay for network communication. This special issue solicits original research utilizing a broad spectrum of technical approaches to manage rate and delay at the application and transport layers, including i) information theoretic limits, ii) the design of source and network coding schemes, iii) queueing theoretic models and network control, and iv) protocol design, implementation, and performance evaluation. Information theoretic approaches may involve error exponent and/or unequal erasure protection schemes as well as new theoretical analyses of multi-resolution and multiple description source coding. Coding approaches to the problem include the use of fountain codes, practical multiple description source code design, delay aware network coding, and hybrid network coding ARQ schemes. Network control approaches may incorporate the queueing theoretic and/or network utility maximization paradigms. Solutions that focus on architectural (e.g., DiffServ and IntServ) and protocol (e.g., RTMP) design as well as practical deployment issues are also encouraged. Approaches which focus on the relationship between rate and delay over a single link are explicitly excluded from the scope, as the issue will focus on end to end multi-link and overlay approaches. Relevant tools and techniques include: - Network coding - Overlay networks - Queueing based performance analysis - Controlled queues - Fountain codes - Multi-resolution and multiple description source codes - Error exponents - Network utility maximization - Multiclass architectures (e.g., DiffServ, IntServ) - Multimedia protocol solutions (e.g., RTMP) - Streaming and live streaming multimedia/data - Multicast - P2P streaming and live streaming - TCP-friendly approaches All submissions should be prepared in a manner consistent with the JSAC guidelines available at www.jsac.ucsd.edu/guidelines/info.html, and should be submitted via email to rdTradeSpecIss(a)gmail.com.

For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guideline and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

22 Feb '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) Datum: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:52:05 -0800 Von: Habib M. Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> An: itc(a)comsoc.org <itc(a)comsoc.org> The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) http://people.hofstra.edu/Habib_M_Ammari/WiMAN_Workshop2010.html In conjunction with ICCCN 2010 Zurich, Switzerland, August 2-5, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop Objectives Recently, wireless mesh and ad hoc networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered in this workshop will include, but will not be limited to, the following: • Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking • Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN • Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking • MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) • Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols • Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols • Quality of Services provisioning • Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks • Network deployment, localization, and synchronization • Topology construction and maintenance • Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation • Modeling and performance evaluations • Physical layer techniques • Cross layer optimizations • Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms • Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures • Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks • Security-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networks • Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks • Wireless sensor networks and RFID • Test beds, prototypes, and practical systems Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSAN are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Accepted papers with a FULL registration to the main conference will be included in the conference proceedings.
