Free Registration is open till 1st October 2009. ************************************************************************************** _Purpose of this workshop _The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. _Scope of the submission _We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * Architectural framework of personalized networks * Personalized Network Applications * Personal Communications in the next generation Internet * Personal Networks for rural areas * Context Awareness * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and anonymity * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Application-driven communication substrates * Personalized networks for group oriented networking * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued _Why should you participate in this workshop? _Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged. _Submission Instructions _Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in a .pdf or .ps format to the EDAS paper submission website.

15 Jul '09

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues, The submission deadline for IFIP IWSOS 2009 (4th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems), to be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, December 9-11, is quickly approaching: Regular Papers (12 pages): July 20, 2009 Short Papers (6 pages): August 14, 2009 The submission website is accepting submissions via: http://senldogo0039.springer-sbm.com/IWSOS2009/servlet/Conference (The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.) Please, find attached the CfP below. More information can be found at http://www.iwsos2009.ethz.ch/index.html Best Regards, Bernhard Plattner (General Chair) Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos (Program Co-Chair) Karin Anna Hummel (Program Co-Chair) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: 4th IFIP International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2009) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, December 9-11 *Workshop Scope* IWSOS 2009 is the fourth workshop in a series of annual workshops dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems. The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future networked systems, like the future Internet. Future networks will form complex networks integrating wired and wireless infrastructures with mobile ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user requirements, such as high availability and real-time guarantees. Although self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited. Research into networked systems started a few years ago to systematically investigate self-organization and has lead to a multitude of open research issues. The applicability of well-known self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked systems is being investigated, as well as adaptations and novel approaches inspired by cooperation in nature and evolutionary dynamics, sociology, and game theory. Additionally, models originating from areas like control theory and complex systems research, are being applied to networked systems to analyze their controllability and behavior. Aspects of engineering self-organizing networked systems are studied that draw on approaches like programmable networks, and tools and frameworks for deploying, testing, and monitoring self-organizing networks. The role of self-organization in the future Internet and the impact on its architecture is an important topic, as well as the application of self-organization in future intelligent transportation systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks. Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for discussing the future of self-organization in networked systems. Topics include, but are not limited to the following. *Key Topics* - Self-organization and self-management - Self-configuration and self-optimization - Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing - Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home network - Self-organization in peer-to-peer, sensor, ad-hoc and vehicular networks - Control theory based models and approaches to self-organization - Applications of game theory for self-organization - Bio-inspired and socially inspired models of self-organization - Group-forming networks and techniques - Programmable and cognitive networks as a basis for self-organization - Visualization of network state - Self-organization for Quality of Service - Resilience, robustness and fault tolerance for networked systems - Security in self-organizing networked systems - Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Self-configuring place-and-play sensor/mobile networks - Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks - Risks of self-organization - The human in the loop of self-organizing networks *Paper Submission* IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts as full or short papers that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the international TPC and judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Click here (http://www.iwsos2009.ethz.ch/index.html) for detailed information for authors. *Full Papers* Submissions should be full-length papers up to 12 pages using the LNCS style, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100-150 words. *Short Papers* Submissions should be position papers, challenging papers, and papers presenting first or late results up to 6 pages length (LNCS style, including all figures and references), and must include an abstract of 100-150 words. *Proceedings* The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must attend IWSOS 2009 to present the paper. *Posters and Demonstrations* To complement the main technical programme of IWSOS 2009, we are soliciting extended abstracts (up to two pages, LNCS style) that describe posters and demonstrations that will be presented at an informal session during the workshop. This session should provide a platform to present and discuss work-in-progress and demonstrations. The abstracts will be collected and made available at the event.

International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices
by Jens Schmutzler 14 Jul '09

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices <http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org <http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org/> > held in conjunction with FIS2009 <http://www.fis2009.org <http://www.fis2009.org/> > Berlin, Germany, September 1st-3rd, 2009 Paper submission deadline: August 3rd, 2009 Scope: The Future Internet of Things aims at providing pervasiveness of the Internet by integrating smart embedded devices into every days life processes. This leads to a highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. With the increase of heterogeneity, it becomes very difficult to insure interactions with devices in a unified manner. Enabling seamless convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous devices will be one of the key factors to the success of the Future Internet of Things. Moreover the Future Internet requires intelligent interaction with the environment leading to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There is a need for those networks to provide their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services for applications or other systems. The challenge lies in developing and selecting the right software frameworks, architectures, and protocols to publish embedded services via the Internet. Web technologies have been used to provide an interface to distributed services. This approach and the need for adaptable interfaces asks for service oriented middleware approaches providing common base functionality for service interaction and communication such as interface description languages, and marshalling mechanisms. In addition, middleware solutions for embedded systems need to monitor, and manage quality of service aspects, such as response time, resource consumption, throughput, availability, reliability and security. While web services being a standard and widely adopted technology for the standard Internet, embedded systems as the worker nodes for the Internet of Things need to catch up in utilizing these technologies. Embedded distributed systems can implement service oriented architectures as a promising approach to solve the complexity of distributed embedded applications and propagate web services as a cross-domain technology. Wireless sensor/actor networks, where the sensors are connected to and controlled by embedded systems may benefit from this approach, where services encapsulate the functionality and provide unified access to the functionality of the system through a middleware layer. The goal of this workshop is to bring together industrial or academic researchers and developers interested in connecting limited embedded (web) services and/or sensor networks with the Internet in order to build the Internet of Things. Through paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute to the exchange of knowledge and ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects, as well as identification and analysis of remaining open research issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectural Issues in Future Internet of Things * Real world applications and scenarios for embedded web services * Interoperability of heterogeneous systems * Event-driven SOAs & Device-centric SOA * Service creation, deployment, life cycle management * Tool support for service creation, validation and testing * Enterprise application integration * Protocols for efficient message transmission to embedded devices * Web services and Middleware for embedded environments * SOA-based integration of IT systems in the healthcare enterprise * Web services executing in mobile or pervasive environments * Distributed sensor networks for remote monitoring and surveillance * Web services for field bus systems Submission Instructions Papers have to be submitted electronically, through the EasyChairSystem: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fits2009 Papers should be written in English and should be no more than 6 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers (font Times 11pt).

[Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks"]
by Lars Wolf 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks" Datum: Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:50:05 +0200 Von: Carlos Jesús Bernardos Cano <cjbc(a)it.uc3m.es> Antwort an: cjbc(a)it.uc3m.es Organisation: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu =================================================================== Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this mail =================================================================== IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks" Background Vehicular communications are being applied to improve safety, decrease fuel consumption, and increase the capacity of existing roadways. Both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications are used to implement a number of promising applications such as local hazard warning, efficient route planning and coordination of traffic flows. Even truly cooperative and, therefore, extremely challenging applications like cross traffic collision avoidance are being considered. In the last years a number of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) related projects and initiatives have been carried out (or will be completed soon). In Europe, for example, the European Commission initiated the eSafety Program to reduce the road fatalities by 50% before 2010 and to improve traffic efficiency. These R&D projects have created a solid technical basis for vehicular communications, and some of them have also performed some preliminary experiences, from what some important results have been obtained ("lessons learned"), as for example the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) in the US as well as several projects in Europe. All the aforementioned research efforts and initiatives can be considered as the 'phase 1' in the development of vehicular communications networks. This phase represents an initial and very important step towards the goals of improving road safety and traffic efficiency, and providing Internet services to the vehicles. Important achievements, architectural decisions and conclusions have been the outcome of this 'phase 1', such as the development of wireless physical and MAC protocols suited for the vehicular environment (e.g. IEEE 802.11p), new network architectures (some of them not based on classical TCP/IP), etc. We are now witnessing the 'phase 2' of research and development in vehicular communications networks, a new phase in which standardization and field trials will play a key role, as well as the refinement and extension of the network architectures and protocols defined in the 'phase 1'. Scope and Contributions The goal of this special issue is to share the research developments and efforts of this new phase ('phase 2') in the vehicular communications area. Paper submissions are invited on the following topics: * Overview of state-of-the-art for vehicular communication technologies and open challenges. * Network protocols for cooperative vehicular communications, such as geonetworking (geographical routing and addressing). * Networking aspects for use of 2G/3G cellular systems for vehicular communications. * New system architectures enabling the provision of safety, traffic efficiency and infotainment services in vehicular scenarios. * Security, location privacy and reliability issues. * Integration of IP protocols into the vehicular scenario. * Standardization for vehicular communications worldwide, interoperability and harmonization issues. * Field operational tests (FOTs) for cooperative systems employing vehicular communications networks. * Regulatory aspects. Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the speciality of the article. Prospective authors must prepare their article in accordance with the IEEE Network guidelines to authors, see http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html. Authors should submit their manuscript to the guest editors according to the schedule below (authors are encouraged to notify at least 15 days before deadline, their intention to submit a paper indicating title, abstract, authors and keywords). All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Schedule for Submission Manuscript submission: July 15, 2009 Acceptance notification: September 15, 2009 Final manuscript due: November 1, 2009 Publication date: January 2010 Guest Editors Dr. Carlos J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC special issue on Vehicular Communications and Networks Datum: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 11:01:40 +0300 Von: Thanos Vasilakos <vasilako(a)ath.forthnet.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Vehicular Communications and Networks Vehicular communications and intelligent transportation systems aim to improve traffic safety, protect environment by reducing traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and enable a plethora of new applications such as mobile infotainment. To address the special requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the vehicle domain, there is a necessity to develop new communication technologies and find special integration solutions into vehicular and transportation systems. These result in various types of vehicular communications and networks: vehicle-toinfrastructure, vehicle-to-roadside, and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. In this growing interdisciplinary field, many research challenges need to be addressed, e.g., how to characterize communication channels due to greater dynamics and higher requirements due to e.g. latency and reliability compared to conventional wireless channels, how to appropriately design medium access control (MAC) and network protocols that should essentially be scalable in performance and adaptable to environment changes due to rapid network topology changes and node density fluctuations, and how to evaluate and validate vehicular networking protocols under realistic assumptions using simulation methodologies and real-world testing. The goal of this special issue is to report on cutting-edge research achievements covering those aspects of vehicular communications and networks that are distinctively different from communication networks in general. We are seeking papers that describe high-quality, original, and unpublished contributions. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: · Adoption and adaptation of web technologies · Application protocols and service architectures · Channel measurement, modeling, & simulation · Domain-specific security and privacy solutions · Inter-networking technologies and architectures · MAC technologies and channel management · Multiple radio integration and control · Physical layer and RF level technologies · Radio resource management, congestion control, traffic control, routing, and QoS support · Real-time experimental systems and testbeds · RF integration and SDR technologies · Safety and non-safety applications and services · Simulation methodology and performance evaluation techniques · Delay tolerant networks · Energy efficient communications · Traffic and mobility models Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/.

Best Regards, Lefteris Mamatas University College London ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE NEW IMPORTANT DATES: Paper-submission Deadline: July 6, 2009 (extended) Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 Dates: TBA October, 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia (in conjunction with ICUMT 2009) [Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/] ************************************************************************ Networking research for challenged environments has attracted a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of "going online". Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a "one-fits-all" protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles NEW IMPORTANT DATES: Paper-submission Deadline: July 6, 2009 (extended) Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal.

[Tccc] Wireless for The Future Internet - Computer Networks Journal/ Deadline is fast approaching: July the 1st
by Luciano Lenzini 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

[we apologize if multiple copies are received] CALL FOR PAPERS COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE ON WIRELESS FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET (http://www.elsevierscitech.com/cfp/cfp_wirelessfuture0509.pdf) The Internet has grown from being a network linking universities and research institutions to an infrastructure that supports the economy and society in general. But the Internet, as originally designed, may not have the capabilities to support the sheer number of new usage patterns and requirements. Around one billion people currently use the Internet and they will soon be joined by several billion mobile online devices. There will also be a shift from developed to developing countries. A fully pervasive anytime/anywhere and secure wireless Internet infrastructure will support and drive this trend. Therefore, the so called Future Internet (FI) needs to be able to match this growing demand and this will entail more than merely patching or upgrading the underlying network and service infrastructure. A profound change is required, leading to a range of technical, financial, society and governance challenges. There appears to be a common understanding that the FI will be at the heart of the future networked society. However, there is no agreed definition as to what a FI should cover in terms of research and non research topics. As well as being an Internet of Networks, FI is perceived of as being an Internet of Services and an Internet of Things that will integrate common objects into our lives. It is also regarding as being an Internet of Contents & Knowledge and an Internet of People. Developing the FI involves huge challenges regarding usability, reliability, mobility, scalability, interoperability, user acceptability, and trust and confidence. In addition, Internet governance, intellectual property, and education i.e. non-technical aspects - also need to be addressed. Early research work on FI focussed above all on networking issues, and on the need to support a range of innovative applications with enhanced management capabilities and a great capacity to deal with increased security issues. Alongside this, the FI is being driven by a vast set of new application requirements. This means that the FI should be approached in a holistic manner, beyond simply a "network" perspective. This special issue aims to intercept the strategies and trends related to the wireless segment of the development of the FI and to present new ideas and concepts in this area. These trends have a significant impact on the underlying network and service technologies and consequently drive research and technology requirements towards a Future Internet, hence continuing to shape future actions at a world level in a domain that has now become global. Original papers are called for on advanced research topics including, but not restricted to: - Delay Tolerant and Opportunistic Networks - Wireless Enabled Context Awareness in Networks - Network Coding as an Alternative to TCP and as Part of Network Protocols or Crosslayer Design - Support for Cognitive Radio Technology - Neighborhood and Local Resource Discovery - Cross-Layer Protocol Support - Wireless Body Area Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks - Spontaneous Information Exchange Among Mobile Devices - Infrastructure Free Communications and Self-organization - Greening of the Wireless Access - Wireless Based P2P Networks - Socio-economic and Legal Aspects of Wireless Based Services - Wireless of Future Internet Experimental Test-beds Note that the above topics should be developed in terms of a Future Internet perspective and not as isolated topics. Authors should follow the Computer Networks (Elsevier) manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet. IMPORTANT DATES To speed up the review process, authors are requested to submit a one-page abstract which should clearly identify the key contribution of the work that will be presented in the full paper. The abstract should succinctly describe the particular problem being addressed, and how it will impact on the Future Internet. The Guest Editors will select the most interesting and thought-provoking papers. Abstract Submission Deadline: 1 July, 2009 Abstract Acceptance Notification: 10 July, 2009 Submission Deadline for the full paper: 15 September, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: 30 November, 2009 Submission of Revised Version: 30 January, 2010 Publication of the Special Issue: Second Half 2010 The one page abstract, in pdf format, should be sent as attachment in a message addressed to wffi(a)iet.unipi.it.

[Tccc] [NG-WANETs 2009] CFP - first international workshop on Next Generation Wireless Ad hoc Networks (NG-WANETs 2009)
by Robil Daher 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS NG-WANETs 2009 First International Workshop on Next Generation Wireless Ad hoc Networks 12-14.10.2009, St. Petersburg, Russia http://ng-wanet09.informatik.uni-rostock.de/ co-located with International Conference on Ultra Modern Telecommunications (ICUMT) http://www.icumt.org/ technically sponsored by IEEE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE / CALL FOR PAPERS: The wireless ad hoc networks (WANETs) comprise several types of networks such as mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), mesh networks, sensor networks, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) and multi-hop cellular networks (MCNs). WANETs are based on the point-to-point networking concept, in which each node acts as wireless relay/router along the path between source and destination. This provides an essentially effective networking medium in infrastructure-less environments such as rural and desert areas. The nature of WANETs leads to several advantages in comparison with that of wireless cellular technologies. The relatively low cost and complexity of installation in infrastructure-less areas, the autonomous nodes, the self- healing and configuration capabilities, and several other properties enable WANETs for networking the most kinds of environment. Nevertheless, this nature also causes several technical issues and challenges for adopting WANETs in certain environments and/or for certain applications. The resources constrains due to channel sharing, the performance of current routing protocols and QoS mechanisms, the distributed coordination of network access, and many other issues and challenges represent essential topics for future enhancement of the current ad hoc technologies. Thus, beside the optimization of current WANET solutions the development of efficient solutions for those mentioned problems represents the main challenge for the Next Generation WANETs (NG-WANETs). In addition, using WANET based communication technologies in other fields such as for deep space communication networks could open new perspectives for accelerating the development and adoption of those technologies. Furthermore, bionic- inspired mechanisms and solutions can constructively help researchers to benefit from the nature experience to improve the current solutions and to develop new methods and concepts for solving critical technical problems. Consequently, new research fields could emerge which open new dimensions and creates new perspectives of WANETs for future applications and services. This workshop represents the first step to figure out these dimensions and perspectives of NG-WANETs and aims at providing a space for debate and knowledge sharing among researchers working on state-of-the-art solutions to the current issues and challenges of WANETs. All researchers and practitioners are invited to participate in the debate and knowledge sharing about the current WANETs and how the NG-WANETs are going to be in the near and far future.

===== Call For Paper, CNIKM'09 ======== Complex Networks in Information & Knowledge Management (CNIKM'09) in CIKM2009 Paper submission due: July 1, 2009 *** Overview We are in a connected age: real-world entities often interconnect with each other through explicit or implicit relationships to form a complex network, such as information networks, social networks, economic networks, technological networks, and biological networks. They exhibit interesting statistical characteristics such as small-world and scale-free. The past decade has witnessed an explosive growth of research on various complex networks. How can we analyse, manage and mine information in large-scale complex networks effectively and efficiently? This gives researchers in database, information retrieval and knowledge management great challenges as well as opportunities. In line with CIKM's tradition of promoting interdisciplinary research, this workshop aims to have a major impact on future research by bringing together researchers across both computer science and the emerging scientific discipline of network science to foster discussion and exchange ideas. The research problems of interest include, but are not limited to: - Structure and Dynamics of Complex Networks - Formation and Generation of Complex Networks - Community Detection in Complex Networks - Motif Discovery in Complex Networks - Link Prediction in Complex Networks - Communication and Contagion on Complex Networks - Indexing and Ranking in Complex Networks - Decentralised Search in Complex Networks - Clustering and Classification in Complex Networks - Semi-Supervised Learning and Active Learning on Complex Networks - Visualization and Summarization of Complex Networks Both theoretical and practical research papers are welcome, particularly those addressing computational or algorithmic ises. *** Important Dates - Paper submission due: July 1, 2009 - Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2009 - Camera-ready version due: August 15, 2009 - Workshop date: November 6, 2009 *** Submission All submissions should be in ACM conference style and PDF format. http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html Full papers may not exceed 8 pages; short papers may not exceed 4 pages.
