Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a promising technology that handles the mobility management and provides the seamless mobile communications. It is expected that MIPv6, as a standard for mobile communication, will open the Mobile Internet Age. In MIPv6, it has been observed that mobility for mobile devices can be more efficiently handled if mobility management is broken down into localized mobility management and global mobility management. Therefore, host-based approaches such as Fast-Handovers for MIPv6 (FMIPv6) and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) have been proposed for localized mobility management. In addition, Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6) has been presented for the network-based localized mobility management (NETLMM), which does not require mobile devices to be involved in the signaling for mobility management. This workshop will focus on the challenges and solutions for MIPv6 with an emphasis on PMIPv6 and NETLMM, which have recently gained considerable attention. The MobiWorld workshop will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of MIPv6 and NETLMM. In addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in MIPv6 and NETLMM. Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. == Topics (included, but are not limited to)== - Communications network architecture for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Efficient handover mechanism in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Enhanced route optimization for MIPv6 and NETLMM - QoS protocol in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Performance model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Applications and services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security issues and protocols for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security threats and model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Privacy and trust for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Key management and authentication for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - AAA Infrastructure for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Early binding update and credit based access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Personal or Cellular communications services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Successful MIPv6 and NETLMM deployment - Mobility support for the next generation internet - Mobile IP for business - Mobility management for wireless network - Implementing mobile IP enterprise management solution - Integrating mobile data services into enterprise infrastructure - Others and emerging new topics == International Committee == *General Co-Chairs Victor C.M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] New Conference: MMSys 2010 Call For Papers Datum: Fri, 5 Jun 2009 09:00:20 -0400 Von: Ketan Mayer-Patel <kmp(a)CS.UNC.EDU> Antwort an: Ketan Mayer-Patel <kmp(a)CS.UNC.EDU> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Call For Papers ACM Multimedia Systems 2010 February 22-23, 2010 Scottsdale, Arizona www.mmsys.org Over the years, ACM SIG Multimedia has received numerous requests to create a multimedia systems conference, targeted at the systems aspects of handling audio, image, video, and graphics data. We are pleased to announce the First Annual ACM Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held February 22-23, 2009 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domians to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Networking * Multimedia Operating Systems * Multimedia Databases * Large-Scale and Remote Display Architectures * Real-Time Support For Multimedia * Networked Games * Virtual and Augmented Worlds * Cyber-Physical Systems * Peer-to-Peer Architectures for Streaming and Multicast * Modeling of Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Interfaces * Multimedia Middleware and Toolkits * Multimedia Programming Languages * Cloud-based Multimedia Processing * Multi-core Support for Multimedia * Mobile Multimedia Systems Original papers on emerging and traditional areas of multimedia systems are sought. All submissions should not currently be under review in another venue and should be prepared using the standard double-column ACM proceedings style format. Papers should be a maximum of 12 pages in length. Papers should be clearly motivated by themes and issues raised primarily in the context of multimedia applications and data types such as: * Continuity of media over time * Scalability of systems to support multimedia data * Adaptation of media to support real-time requirements In addition to the refereed paper publication, there will be two unique aspects of the Multimedia Systems Conference: * Multimedia Systems will have an archival site for all its conferences. Each paper will have a blog area that will allow people with questions and comments (moderated) about a paper to be consolidated over time. We hope this will provide a service to the entire community to allow people to come up to speed more quickly about papers that have appeared at Multimedia Systems. * To help facilitate the sharing and common use of data and software, we will be having a software / data archive track that, as part of the publication process, will result in a copy of the software or data archive in the Multimedia Systems web site. This will allow researchers to more quickly converge on common data sets for comparisons. Important Dates: * September 15, 2009 - Full Paper Submission Deadline * November 1, 2009 - Notification of Acceptance * December 1, 2009 - Final Paper Due * February 22, 2010 - Conference

[Fwd: [Tccc] E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks Datum: Thu, 4 Jun 2009 15:43:27 +0100 Von: Lefteris Mamatas <emamatas(a)gmail.com> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies for multiple-postings] ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE 12-14 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 IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract-registration Deadline: June 15, 2009 Paper-submission Deadline: June 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks" Datum: Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:41:51 +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.

[Tccc] Deadline Extension Mobicom Workshop on Challenged Networks Chants 2009
by May Martin 28 May '09

28 May '09

------------------------------------------------------- CHANTS 2009 ACM MobiCom 2009 Workshop on Challenged Networks -------------------------------------------------------- Beijing, China September 25, 2009 http://www.thlab.net/chants2009 Scope: ------ Challenged networks are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, intermittent connectivity, and widely varying network conditions. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries with insufficient infrastructure and severe power shortage can be regarded as challenged networks, as can be ad-hoc communication between personal mobile devices; even an overlay network relying on fixed infrastructure might be challenged by a high degree of churn. Challenges are also posed by a very heterogeneous and potentially resource limited nodes, such as mobile phones, space-based nodes, and sensor and actuator nodes. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly unreliable and varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. The Internet protocol architecture suffers when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when connectivity is intermittent, or the link performance is highly variable or extreme, then one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2008, CHANTS 2007, CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with networks that operate under significant challenges as exemplified above; techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions, churn and high delays are also of interest. The focus of this year's workshop will be on experiences with challenged networks, such as experimental results, measurements, implementations, full-system and large-scale simulations, operational experiences, deployment problems, and applications for challenged networks. We specifically solicit papers in these respects for the following areas: * Architecture, design and evaluation of systems that are robust to high rates of nodal churn, unreliable infrastructure, and intermittent connectivity due to for instance high mobility, power saving. * Characterization of performance and security challenges and measurements of challenged networks; performance metrics and measurements thereof; benchmark tests and scenarios of network challenges. * Protocol and application design and evaluation with respect to robustness, security and privacy, as well as quality of service and experience. * Configuration, management, monitoring and adaptivity of systems for challenged networks. Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as architectural papers addressing new concerns. Papers that bring out problems in the existing proposals for challenged networks or that report operational experience will be favored. Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on evolving this area of network research and continuing to build its community. In addition, we seek submission of demo proposals, also to be reviewed by the TPC. The demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable, too. Paper Format and Submission: ---------------------------- Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS. Papers will be reviewed single blind.

Emergence of new communication technologies is to much extent dependent on the existence of experimental facilities that offer innovative means of realising and testing new network architectures, protocols and services. The objective of the workshop is to present technological and scientific advantages in this field focusing on new experimental network architectures that enable experimentation on new distributed network architectures (autonomic and peer-to-peer communications), next generation network technologies (Web 2.0/3.0, IMS, sensor, mobile, wireless, mesh networks), overlay service architectures, new communication paradigms, ICT technologies for energy saving applications and energy-aware networks. Also, of specific interest are network node architectures that enable experimentation on new forms of communication such as open router architectures for re-configurable virtualisation of network topologies, protocols and services as part of the experimental facility's capabilities as well as router architectures that support distributed and autonomic forms of communication. Since an important aspect for the viable future of experimental facilities is revenues generation out of testing services commercialization, the workshop also solicits contributions presenting business models that enable generic exploitation of the services of experimental facilities by real users from the Academia and the Industry as well as methodologies that ensure transparent access of users to the experimental facility. The topics of interest include but not limited to: - experimental network architectures for future internet services incubation and testing - testing of new communication paradigms and related services (p2p, novel QoS reservation methods, NGN networks, etc) - experimental facilities for energy savvy applications and energy aware networks testing - experimental facilities for next generation networks and services testing (sensor, mobile, wireless, short range networks) - testing services and facility accessibility technologies - network, protocol and services virtualisation technologies and router architectures - router architectures suited for new generation communication services Contact Person: Workshop chair: Dr Ing Spyridon Tompros, Keletron, Greece -> +302310947979, stombros(a)keletron.com Alternative contact person: Dr Ing Nikolaos Mouratidis, Keletron, Greece -> +302310947979, nmo(a)keletron.com TPC Committee: Halid Hrasnica Eurescom Sebastian Wahle Fraunhofer Fokus Mauro Cambanella INFN-GARR Spyros Denazis University of Patras Odysseas Koufopavlou University of Patras Nikolaos Mouratidis Keletron LTD Andreas Foglar Infineon Technologies AG Yevgeni Koucheryavy Tampere University of Technology Dimitrios D.
