-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Tue, 3 Nov 2009 15:50:42 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Wireless Networks that are aware of social network knowledge *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Multimedia Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Multimedia Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Datum: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:05:45 -0400 Von: Tommaso Melodia <tmelodia(a)eng.buffalo.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AD HOC NETWORKS (ELSEVIER) JOURNAL Special Issue on MULTIMEDIA AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS http://www.elsevierscitech.com/pdfs/cfp_adhoc0709.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------- Multimedia applications enabled by quality-aware wireless multi-hop networks include online gaming, video conferencing, video streaming, mobile TV, and peer-to-peer streaming. In addition, they include monitoring applications such as video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, advanced health care delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial process control. In spite of the increasing demand for multimedia wireless networking, we are still lacking a clear understanding of analytical and computational techniques, as well as best practices, to design resource allocation schemes, communication protocols, and self-organization algorithms for wireless multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks that will deliver, in a predictable and quantifiable fashion, the quality of service and experience required by the end user. In addition, while significant advances in physical layer techniques offer new opportunities for cross-layer optimizations designed to satisfy application needs, efforts to leverage these techniques from a networking perspective to support the needs of multimedia traffic demands in multi-hop wireless networks are still at initial stages. In particular, dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radios, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques, ultra-wide-band and cooperative communications, among other techniques, will have a profound impact on our ability to flexibly and predictably deliver multimedia content over wireless networks. Finally, with a few exceptions, processing of multimedia content has mostly been approached as a problem isolated from the network-design problem. However, in-network processing and delivery of multimedia content are not independent and their interaction has a major impact on the levels of quality of service (QoS) that can be delivered. Hence, it is necessary to develop flexible and self-organizing architectures and algorithms to flexibly perform in-network processing of multimedia contents. This special issue solicits papers on all aspects of multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks, with a primary focus on three key aspects. First, content-aware cross-layer design and resource allocation techniques, as well as new networking protocols based on metrics associated with quality of service/video/experience are of particular interest. Second, original papers examining networking aspects that leverage advances in physical and multiple access techniques to support multimedia traffic are particularly welcome. Third, papers investigating the interdependencies between multimedia in-network processing and networking aspects are sought, e.g., architectures and techniques to store, process in real-time, correlate and fuse multimedia data originating from heterogeneous sources. The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of multimedia content delivery over ad hoc and sensor networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures and applications for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming - Distortion and quality/experience-aware cross-layer design - Optimization techniques for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Capacity modeling - Quality-aware medium access control, scheduling, routing, and transport - Quality-aware resource management and admission control - Cross-layer design for P2P streaming - Experimental and testbed-based studies - Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design - Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design - Multimedia traffic on cognitive radio networks - Cooperative communication techniques for real-time video streaming - MIMO techniques for multimedia delivery - Physical layer technologies for efficient delivery of multimedia content - Secure multimedia communications - Joint multimedia processing and communication - Compressed sensing for multimedia sensor networks - Distributed source/video coding and multimedia processing Submission Instructions: Prospective Authors: Please follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/. Please select Article Type: ³SI: Multimedia Ad Hoc And Sensor Networks². Papers must be in single-column format, double-spaced, and use at least 11 pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including references.

SHELTAMI <tarek(a)kfupm.edu.sa> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu The Third International Symposium on Applications of Ad hoc and Sensor Networks (AASNET '10) is held in conjunction with the 24th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA 2010) Wireless mobile ad hoc and sensor network nodes have limited battery capacity. Hence, they tend to be energy conservative. Many MAC, routing protocols, scheduling scheme were proposed to promote energy conservation without degrading the performance of the network. Nonetheless, nowadays, many real-time applications have been proposed and developed using ad hoc and sensor networks. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress and challenges in the area of real time applications in ad hoc and sensor networks. We encourage contributions that describe innovative work and results on AASNET. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: Energy-aware routing protocols Energy-aware scheduling techniques Energy-aware MAC protocols Artificial intelligence applications in ad hoc and sensor networks Sensor networks for oil and gas industry Mobility tracking schemes in ad hoc networks Voice over ad hoc networks Multimedia over sensor networks Machine leaning schemes for ad hoc and sensor networks Intrusion detection systems in ad hoc and sensor networks Telehealth monitoring system using ad hoc and sensor networks Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 16 November 2009 Author Notification: 01 December 2009 Author Registration:15 January 2010 Final Manuscript Due: 15 January 2010 ========================== PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ========================== Submit a full paper of at most 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: QoSim 2010 Datum: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:20:30 +0100 Von: Nils Aschenbruck <aschenbruck(a)cs.uni-bonn.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu **************** *only FIVE days left - Nov. 1st* *************** ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= 3rd International Workshop on the Evaluation of Quality of Service through Simulation in the Future Internet (QoSim 2010) http://www.qosim.org to be held in conjunction with SIMUTools 2010 Torremolinos, Malaga, Spain March 15-19, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS Simulation has long been the primary evaluation tool used by the networking community for supporting the design and tuning of protocols, architectures and applications. During the last years, the wide-scale deployment of wireless access and the emerging of new access technologies, such as 802.16, Beyond 3G cellular packet systems, and Wireless Mesh Networks, as well as the ever-increasing popularity of applications requiring Quality of Service (QoS), such as Voice over IP and video streaming, have made the thorough and sound assessment of QoS a challenging but indispensable task for the evolution towards a future Internet. Furthermore, emerging user-centric and service-oriented network paradigms require new definitions of QoS and service attributes, closer to the user perception, as well as new simulation models to assess them. Last, but not least, new research directions in networking architectures, advocating a long-term disruptive or “clean slate” (re-)design of the Internet, also demand new simulation tools and techniques to prove the feasibility and assess the performance of the proposed solutions. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic and industry researchers and practitioners from both the networking and the simulation communities to discuss current and future trends in simulation techniques, models and practices for the Future Internet and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Emerging access technologies (Wi-Max, 3.5G, Wireless Mesh Networks, 802.11x, etc.) * Disruptive network paradigms (bio-inspired, autonomic, opportunistic networking, etc.) * Multi-layer network architectures * Cross-layer simulation * Hybrid Simulation * End-to-end simulation of heterogeneous, mobile and multi-domain networks * Fluid-flow simulation for assessing QoS in large scale networks * New and emerging services and applications * QoS negotiation, service chain negotiation and Service Level Agreements * QoS components (scheduling algorithms, admission control schemes, QoS routing and traffic engineering schemes, etc.) * Scalability analysis * Traffic modeling * Tradeoffs between Security and QoS * QoS applications in extreme situation (e.g. in a network under attack or catastrophes) We solicit submission of manuscripts that present original research results, not previously published nor currently under review by another conference or journal. All submitted papers will go through a rigorous peer review process. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness by the technical program committee. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be printed in the proceedings and made available online. Authors are invited to submit PDF versions of full papers of up to 8 pages in ACM conference proceedings format, i.e. two-column pages in a font no smaller than 10-points. Submissions will be handled electronically through EasyChair.

Opportunistic networks are commonly defined as a type of challenged networks where communication opportunities are based on sporadic and intermittent contacts, disconnections and re-connections may frequently occur, and the assumption on the existence of an end-to-end path between the source and the destination is released. As compared to the legacy MANETs, where an always-connected infrastructure-less network is assumed, opportunistic networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, where devices (with sensing capabilities) are carried while users move, and can connect and disconnect continuously relying their communication chances on a store-carry-and-forward approach. The aim of MobiOpp 2010 is to bring together researchers working in this emerging area, thus also providing a reference event for those working on self-organizing wireless mobile networks which usually exploit the opportunistic communication paradigm. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to all aspects of opportunistic networks. Original contributions are solicited, being related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas of Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel architectures * Routing protocols * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques * Dissemination and replication techniques * Opportunistic networking in P2P systems * Social-aware opportunisitc networking * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networking applications * Opportunistic networking in wireless sensor networks * Multimodal urban sensing * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication in the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier) Important dates -------------------- Papers submission deadline: November 11, 2009 (extended deadline) Acceptance Notification: December 22, 2009 Camera Ready deadline: January 22, 2010 Workshop dates: February 22-23, 2010 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair Sergio Palazzo, University of Catania, Italy Program Co-Chairs Tracy Camp, Colorado School of Mines, USA Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Italy Steering Committee Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Italy Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Serge Fdida, Univ.

[Tccc] Due Date Extension: Call for Papers - IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Biologically Inspired Networking
by Dinesh Verma 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Dear Colleagues, Due to multiple requests, we are extending the deadline for paper submission to the special issue by a month to December 1, 2009. In order for us to begin the review process, we would appreciate getting the title and abstract of the intended submission earlier if feasible. We request you to submit any relevant work to this special issue of IEEE Network Magazine. Apologies for any duplicate postings. ==================================== Call For Papers: IEEE Network Magazine, Special Issues on "Biologically Inspired Networking" URL: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/cfp/cfpnetwork0510.html Guest Editors: Dinesh Verma, IBM (dverma(a)us.ibm.com) Pietro Lio, University of Cambridge (pietro.lio(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) Scope: Computer Networks deployed in the field today lack many of the features which are demonstrated in the operation and mechanisms of biological networks. Some examples of features where biological networks have an advantage include their ability to maintain homeostatic environments, adapt rapidly to environmental changes, self-organize, assemble simple structures into complex tasks, autonomous operations, self-replication, protection against attacks of various natures, etc. While computer networking has many features which perform better than any biological system, it is a reasonable proposition that application of biologically inspired techniques to computing systems and networks will improve on the current state of the art in computer networks. This special issue is focused on highlighting approaches for designing computer networks that are biologically inspired, and which show an improvement in some aspect of the current state of computer networking. The goal is to develop techniques that improve the adaptability, scalability and autonomicity of comptuer networks. We welcome papers that provide new architectures and insights, real-world experience in building biological systems, theoretical advances in biological networks, and any other area of bio-inspired improvements to computer networks. Any paper that covers a technology which has a clear connection to a biological system and a demonstrable advantage to computer networks will be considered within scope. We welcome both tutorial type papers, as well as papers describing new research activities. Some of the topics of interest include: Modeling of Biological Networks Evolutionary systems and protocols Biological Inspired Network Architectures Homeostatic Control and its Applications Neural Networks applications to Computer Networks Self-healing systems and protocols Biologically Inspired Security Predator-Prey applications to computer networks Performance evaluation of biologically inspired networks Biologically inspired Network Topologies Manuscript Submission: This special issue will only consider electronic submissions in the format of postscript, PDF, or MS WORD. To submit a paper for consideration, authors should send your paper to one of the guest editors via email. The paper should be included as an email attachment, or the author may provide a URL where the file can be downloaded. Indicate which author is to serve as the primary correspondence contact.
