26 May '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] Wireless for The Future Internet - Computer Metworks Journal Datum: Fri, 22 May 2009 12:59:00 +0200 Von: Luciano Lenzini <l.lenzini(a)iet.unipi.it> Antwort an: l.lenzini(a)iet.unipi.it Organisation: DII An: <mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br> [we apologize if multiple copies are received] CALL FOR PAPERS COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE ON WIRELESS FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET 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.

Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * LOCAN 2009 * * * * The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication * * and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks * * http://libra.inf.um.es/~pedrom/locan2009 * * * * In conjunction with the 6th IEEE International Conference on * * Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems, MASS 2009 * * http://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/mass09 * * Macau SAR, P.R.C., October 5 - 9, 2009 * * * * Paper submission deadline: May 29, 2009 * *********************************************************************** Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective.

[InternetTC] 2nd CFP: IEEE Network Special Issue on Improving Quality of Experience for Network Services
by Jahan Hassan 25 May '09

25 May '09

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Network Special Issue on Improving Quality of Experience for Network Services Manuscript Submission Deadline: 31 July 2009. CFP in PDF: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/cfp/CFP_SI_v4.pdf In pursuit of new revenue opportunities and to improve competitiveness, network service providers are offering new value- added network services, such as VoIP, video on demand, IPTV, and so on. With the increased competition, improving the quality of the offered services as perceived by the users, commonly referred to as the quality of experience (QoE), becomes very important to providers in order to reduce customer churn and maintain and increase their competitive edge. There are many issues that may impact users perception in many different ways. For example, government regulation on viewing IPTV may impact QoE in a way that may be difficult to measure with traditional tools and techniques. Similarly, the pricing strategy selected will likely to impact the QoE irrespective of the technical performance of the underlying network. Developing tools and techniques for accurately measuring, monitoring, and improving QoE in complex end-to-end networking infrastructure has become the focus of many industry R&D initiatives. QoE standardization is actively pursued by International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and industry consortia. At the same time, despite the considerable foundational progress already made, engineering QoE for existing and future network- based services remains a challenging research topic, hence, attracting significant interest from academia as well. This timely special issue will bring together researchers from industry, academia and standard bodies to present and analyze this challenging and important area of improving QoE for existing and future network services. We are soliciting original research and survey articles written in a tutorial style comprehensible to all readers of the magazine regardless of their speciality. Submissions will go through an open call-for- papers and will undergo rigorous peer review process. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: * QoE measuring, monitoring and performance improvement strategies for network services (e.g., IPTV, VoIP, VoD, Internet) * Modeling of user satisfaction and tolerance to quality degradation * Test-bed studies of QoE for networked applications * Impact of user mobility on QoE * Impact of radio and network resource utilization and management on QoE * Impact of billing and pricing on QoE * Impact of regulatory issues on QoE * Measurement and optimization of end-to-end QoE Prospective authors must prepare their original submissions in accordance with the IEEE Network guidelines to authors, see http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html . Authors should submit their single column, double-spaced manuscript electronically in PDF format by email to the corresponding guest editor (with cc to all the other guest editors) according to the following timetable (authors are encouraged to notify at least 15 days before deadline, their intention to submit a paper indicating title, authors and keywords): * Paper Submission Deadline: 31 July 2009 * Acceptance notification to authors: 01 November 2009 * Final Manuscripts due: 01 January 2010 * Publication of Special Issue: First half of 2010 Guest Editors: Dr. Jahan A.

24 May '09

CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless Personal Communications: An International Journal (Springer) Special issue on: Adaptive Communication in Wireless Networks Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The last few years have experienced a steep growth in research on wireless networks having attractive claims. Researchers are currently envisioning different attractive properties of wireless systems such as the ability to self-organize, self-configure, self-heal, self-manage and self-maintain. These systems are increasingly becoming dynamic and they are expected to perform many tasks autonomously by adapting to the dynamics of the networks. With the wide range of applications that need to be supported in these systems, there exists increasing expectations about what the current and the future generation networks can do. Many of these requirements are pivoted in the ability of the networks to adapt to the network dynamism. Adaptation to changing environments, in turn, often leads to increased performance of the networks. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers relating to different aspects of adaptive communication in wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, all aspects of adaptive communication in: • Broadband wireless access networks • Wireless Internet • Software defined radio • Bluetooth technology • Ultra-wide band radio • Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks • Wireless Mesh Networks • IEEE 802.11/802.20/802.22 • Emerging wireless network security issues • Wireless telemedicine and e-health • Emerging issues in 3G and 4G wireless networks • Emerging wireless network architecture • Multimedia over emerging wireless networks • Underwater sensor Networks • Supplying power to the distributed wireless sensors • Cognitive Radio Systems • Cooperative wireless communications • Multi-hop relay wireless communications Good quality survey/tutorial-type articles (but NOT purely a literature review) are also of interest to this Special Issue.

[Tccc] Meeting of the VDE/ITG-Professional group
by Christian Philipp 22 May '09

22 May '09

The professional group of ITG 5.2.4 "Mobility in IP-based networks" organizes in Klagenfurt on June 29th (open worshop) and 30th 2009, in cooperation with the Institute for Networked and Embedded Systems (NES) from Klagenfurt University and Lakeside Labs GmbH a one day workshop on the topic: Cooperation and Self-Organization in Communication Networks The workshop will take place at Lakeside Labs GmbH (Klagenfurt, Austria) on June 29th, 2009. We solicit - Technical overview presentations - Project presentations - Presentations of results of ongoing research - Visionary (possibly provocative) presentations Today’s communication networks are becoming more and more large in scale, which results in increased complexity for their engineering, operation, and maintenance. To this end, the concepts of cooperative communications and self-organizing systems have recently attracted considerable attention. In cooperative communications, different nodes in a network share resources to establish collaboration through distributed transmission/processing. They assist each other to improve overall network performance and achieve better utilization of space- time resources without the need for a centralized authority. Self-organizing systems represent a paradigm shift, where the global service of a system emerges from the local interactions of a large number of autonomous components that act based on simple rules. In comparison to traditional, often centralized architectures, self- organizing systems are often advantageous regarding robustness, scalability, and adaptability. The integration of self-organizing and cooperation concepts into communication networks promises new approaches to solve problems of network complexity, spontaneous communications, and scalability, to mention a few. The objective of this workshop is to create a forum to exchange ideas and share experiences in these fields among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: • Biologically-inspired and evolutionary approaches for communications and networking • Management and control of self-organizing networked systems • Theory of cooperation and self-organization • Cooperation and self-organizing at the user/social and application level • Cooperative relaying in wireless systems • Cross layer cooperation and optimization • Network coding, as a form of cooperative communications • Robustness, dependability, and security issues • Resource utilization and coverage extension via cooperation • Use cases for self-organization and standardization activites in 3GPP, NGMN or ETSI • Practical experiences, testbeds or prototypes Please inform the workshop organisers about your planned contribution by April 30th, 2009. The workshop places are limited and assigned on a first come first serve basis. Participants should register by email by June 14th, 2009.

[Tccc] CFP: U-NET (User-provided networking) workshop, co-located with CoNext'09
by Paulo Mendes 21 May '09

21 May '09

(Appologies if you get this twice) ACM U-NET'09 — User-provided Networking: Challenges and Opportunities Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/unet/ Submission Deadline: July 17, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/N7753 *Motivation* This workshop is dedicated to the debate of concepts, challenges, and opportunities concerning user-provided networking, i.e., scenarios where users cooperate by sharing wireless resources as well as Internet services. To provide a specific example that relates to Internet access (connectivity), the end-user (or a community of end-users) is a micro-operator in the sense that he/she shares his/her subscribed broadband Internet access based on some form of incentive scheme. In addition, the end-user may or may not provide other network functionality such as local mobility management, or persistent storage and forwarding services. This new role is disruptive in what concerns Internet service models, since there is no distinction between what is today known as end-user device and network device: in the future, end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network. In contrast, the Internet has been up to now mostly the means for end-users to obtain some form of network service, originally related to connectivity, person-to-person communication, or information retrieval. Such user-centric provider role is also disruptive given that the regular network boundaries of trust have to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior: there is the need to form networks of trust in order to accommodate a robust network growth, given that the key to such growth is the willingness to cooperate. Another disruptive aspect of user-provided networking is that due to the nature of the wireless media and the way that humans move, support for intermittent connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. Finally, and given that user-provided networking spreads dynamically having as network elements regular end-user devices, there is the need to consider cases where information is opportunistically relayed instead of routed based on topological information. Due to the disruptive aspects mentioned, user-provided networking seem to have the potential to provide a paradigm shift in Internet communication models, given that such novel functionality allow wireless networks to operate in a completely autonomic way and also given that the end-user becomes a provider of Internet services (e.g. connectivity) based upon cooperation incentives or rewards and based upon his/her own mobility and social patterns. Services are established on the fly, and do not necessarily imply the use of multihop technology or routing. For instance, connectivity may be, in most cases, simply relayed. The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers and a discussion panel with guests from industry and academia. We envision U-NET as a forum aiming to ignite a debate concerning technical challenges and impact (negatively or positively) that user-provided networking may have on Internet communication models. *Topics* U-NET'09 solicits high quality technical contributions within the context of user-provided networking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Challenges and opportunities for access providers. * Impact on Internet architectures. * Internet connectivity. * Trust models, incentives to share broadband access. * Human behaviour and mobility patterns. * Self-organization. * Wireless cooperation. Papers submitted are expected to be highly innovative and may incorporate early stage ideas; position papers (clearly identified as such) pointing to new directions and capable of generating discussion are also welcome. Submission must be original and not already published in any other conference proceeding or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. *Submissions* Submitted papers must be at most 6 (six) pages long (including figures, tables and references) in the standard ACM double column format. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submissions will b e done via EDAS at http://edas.info/N7753. *Important Dates* Submissions due: July 17, 2009 Notification of acceptance: September 4, 2009 Camera ready version due: October 1, 2009 Workshop date: December 1, 2009 *Program Committee* PC Chairs Paulo Mendes, INESC Porto, Portugal Olivier Marcé, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, France Technical Program Committee Rute Sofia, INESC Porto, Portugal André Zúquete, University of Aveiro, Portugal Vassilis Kostakos, University of Madeira, Portugal Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Dirk Trossen, British Telecom Innovate, United Kingdom Prosper Chemouli, France Telecom, France Martin May, Thomson Paris Research Laboratory, France Karen Sollins, MIT, USA Lixia Zhang, UCLA, USA James Kempf, Ericsson Research, USA Dipankar Raychaudhuri, Rutgders University, USA Bernhard Plattner, ETH, Switzerland George Polyzos, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Maria Papadopouli, FORTH/University of Creete, Greece Anand Prasand, NEC, Japan Gunnar Karlsson, KTH, Sweden Yevgeni Koucheryavy, Tampere University of Technology, Finland Marcus Brunner, NEC, Germany Petri Mähönen, RWTH Aachen University, Germany -- ----------------------------------------------------- Paulo Mendes, Ph.D Area Leader, Internet Architectures and Networking Telecommunication and Multimedia Unit INESC Porto Tel. +351 22 209 4264 Fax. +351 22 209 4050 http://ian.inescporto.pt _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP UbiSys 2009 at UbiComp Datum: Tue, 19 May 2009 16:07:18 +0200 Von: Gregor Schiele <gregor.schiele(a)UNI-MANNHEIM.DE> Antwort an: Gregor Schiele <gregor.schiele(a)UNI-MANNHEIM.DE> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG I apologize for any double posting! --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS System Support for Ubiquitous Computing Workshop (UbiSys 2009) at the 11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2009) Orlando, Florida September 30-October 3, 2009 http://ubisys.ccis.edu.sa/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The goal of this workshop is to promote cooperation between ubicomp systems researchers and to address the challenges related to the wider deployment and interoperability of ubicomp systems. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers in this field to discuss the state-of-the-art and to foster discussions and inspire novel techniques for unifying the underlying system platforms for ubicomp. Key issues of discussions will include developing and revising common sets of abstractions of ubicomp environments for supporting ubiquitous applications and services, wide-deployment strategies, and interoperability between different platforms. Currently, the evaluation of ubicomp systems is not well established. For effective deployment of ubicomp systems, we must propose techniques and benchmarks for evaluation that is best suited to our kind of research. Topics: ------- The workshop focuses on presenting state of the art and emerging research, as well as experience reports, in the following topics: * Abstractions and models toward interoperability and portability. * Use of new and emerging middleware and software engineering approaches. * Experiences of deployed ubicomp systems infrastructure. * Techniques and benchmarks for the effective evaluation of ubicomp systems Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- This workshop will consist of a mix of paper presentations, discussions and a panel discussion. Papers must cover one of the topics listed above. We will prioritize research papers describing current and on-going research, experience reports and position papers related to the workshop's topics. Submissions are expected to be 4 - 6 pages long. All papers should be in the Ubicomp 2009 workshop templates format (available at http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2009/templates.shtml). All papers will be peer reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented during the workshop. Ubicomp will publish all workshop papers in a proceedings supplement. The supplement will not be included in the ACM digital library. Copyright of the published papers will remain with the authors. Paper submissions will be handled online at http://ubisys.ccis.edu.sa/. Please visit http://ubisys.ccis.edu.sa for further information or if you have any questions. All workshop attendees must submit and have accepted either a full or position paper. Important Dates: ---------------- Paper submission .......... June 25, 2009 Acceptance notifications ..
