[Fwd: [Tccc] ACM TOMACS Special Issue on Modeling and Simulation of Cross-Layer Interactions in Communication Networks]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM TOMACS Special Issue on Modeling and Simulation of Cross-Layer Interactions in Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:16:44 +0100 Von: Fabrizio Granelli <granelli(a)disi.unitn.it> An: csim(a)comsoc.org, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, taos(a)comsoc.org ACM TOMACS Special Issue – Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------- Modeling and Simulation of Cross-Layer Interactions in Communication Networks Guest Editors: Fabrizio Granelli and Michael Devetsikiotis Submission deadline: April 30th, 2009 Cross-layering represents an important emerging design approach to overcome limitations and lack of flexibility of the layering principle, which is the basis of today’s communication networks. Indeed, in specific scenarios such as Quality-of-Service provisioning and wireless networks deeper integration and interaction among different layers is envisaged. Despite the wide-spread adoption of the general cross layer design principle, not much attention has been placed on solid, quantitative, systematic study of the system behaviour and interactions among different protocols at different layers. In fact, even if several cross-layering architectures are available in the literature, only a few works face the problem of providing frameworks for modeling cross-layering interactions and support the definition of cross-layering solutions. Quantitative cross-layer formulations and models are still needed to effectively provide guidelines on the impact of the design parameters in terms of overall system performance. Simulation based methods represent indispensable tools to provide further in-sight in this direction, given the analytical intractability of the full cross layer complex system. Indeed, specific modeling techniques need to be at the “top” of the performance evaluation process for cross-layer systems, and properly studied using formal principles, with strong support from simulation analysis to capture the subtle interactions across the layers. The special issue is aimed at gathering novel contributions in the development of models for cross- layering interactions and computational solutions. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions (not submitted for publication elsewhere) on the following topics: - modeling and simulation of cross-layering interactions - modeling and simulation of cross-layering processes - modeling and abstraction of cross-layer functionalities - architectural models for cross-layering signalling - sensitivity analysis, derivative approximation and simulation-based optimization - model-based cross-layer system optimization - cross layer simulation implementation issues - simulation environments for analysis of cross-layer interactions - verification of cross-layer models and simulations - cross-layer systems experimental trials and testbeds Full papers that are associated with workshop presentations are eligible to be submitted to this special issue. Papers are to be submitted by April 30th, 2009, through the ACM ToMaCS WWW site, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tomacs. For more information, please contact the Guest Editors Fabrizio Granelli (granelli(a)disi.unitn.it) or Michael Devetsikiotis (mdevets(a)ncsu.edu).

by Nischal.Piratla＠telekom.de 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Sincere apologies for duplication, if you have received it through other channels. Call for Papers: WNM 2009 Fourth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements, in conjunction with the 34th IEEE LCN (http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN-WNM2009/) October 20-23, 2009 Swissôtel Zürich, Schulstrasse 44, CH-8050 Zürich, Switzerland The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN). The workshop will include papers and panels dealing with latest advances and challenges facing the field. The expected audience will include networking researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry, academia and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance. The first three IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements was very successful in bringing together a set of participants actively working on network measurements in various domains. We will continue to address network measurements from different perspectives and different domains. Topics of Interest: Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is important for understanding the behavior of networks and for evaluating the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Cross-layer designs, and overlay protocols often rely on measurements. Measurements in wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and subnet measurements face domain specific constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in performing measurement itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in network measurements to discuss and exchange measurement related research in both wireless and wired domains, and also explore emerging fields of measurements such as on mobile devices. High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics including, but not limited to: Measurements on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless networks Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds Mobility models and traffic patterns Wired and wireless domain measurements Measurement tools, benchmarks and data sets Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation Active and passive measurements at core nodes End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the Internet Metrics for network characterization Measurements on Mobile devices Applications and protocols relying on network measurements Paper length should not exceed 6 pages. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format via EDAS. Papers will go through a thorough review process. The accepted papers will appear in the IEEE LCN conference proceedings and also be available via IEEE Xplore. Proposals for panel sessions are also invited. Please send the proposal by the same deadline as for papers. Important Dates: Paper registration deadline: April 6, 2009 Paper submission deadline: April 13, 2009 Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2009 Camera-ready paper due: July 28, 2009 Registration deadline: July 28, 2009 Information on registration, hotel, etc. is available at IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) General Chairs: Nischal M.

We aim to do this through real-life experience in the Arctic Circle region. The Padjelanta national park in Laponia, Sweden is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the home of the Saami population of semi-nomadic reindeer herders. Due to the lack of infrastructure in this area, a DTN-based networking system for the area has been developed by the SNC and N4C projects. During the summer of 2009, the fourth summer of deployment and testing for this system will take place, which makes this a unique opportunity to experience a real deployment of a DTN system. The workshop will start with a 5 day field trip into the mountain regions where the DTN system is deployed. During this time, participants will be given the opportunity to hike along the trails in the mountains and visit the Saami settlements to meet the local population and users of the system. Not only will this give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such a system, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. (We are currently planning the mountain-based part of the workshop together with the local population, and some details are subject to change.) Upon reaching the end of the hike, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos in a more traditional conference venue. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Participants should submit 2-page position papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the workshop or demo proposals to be shown during the workshop. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the workshop are especially solicited. The aim of the workshop is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Networked applications and services Due to logistics and the need to conduct the workshop in harmony with the local population and the environment, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers.

This workshop concentrates on such network layer problems as 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 approaches where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on various aspects of localized algorithms and protocols in this rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Localized unicast and multicast routing protocols - Localized broadcasting algorithms - Localized QoS communication protocols - Localized geocasting protocols - Localized clustering algorithms - Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks - Localized auto-configuration and network formation algorithms - Topology construction and maintenance based on local information - Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient communication - Relative positioning algorithms based on local information - Network graph properties supporting localized protocols - Localized algorithms for data management and query - Localized incentive schemes for selfish wireless networks - Localized algorithms in delay/disruption tolerant networks - Security based on local information in wireless sensor networks - Bounds analysis in localized solutions - Worst and average case analysis in localized algorithms IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: March 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: April 15, 2009 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: May 8, 2009 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages.

[Tccc] NetEval 2009- The First Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Next-Generation Networks, Boston MA, Submission deadline March 6
by Yan Luo 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS NetEval 2009 - The First Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Next-Generation Networks April 26, 2009 Boston, MA, USA http://cans.uml.edu/neteval2009.html Co-located with IEEE ISPASS'09 http://www.ispass.org/ispass2009/ The design and prototyping of the next-generation Internet has been an active research area in the networking community. Significant efforts have been devoted to revise many aspects of current network design including network architecture, network protocols, security and privacy, and service abstractions. The development of experimental network testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab, Emulab, GENI, etc.) has allowed researchers to evaluate and verify innovative designs through realistic experiments at a global scale. The design of the next-generation Internet also draws a great deal of interest from the computer architecture research community. The introduction of virtualization and programmability in router systems requires high performance embedded processing elements. Network processors, FPGAs, and multi-core processors play important roles in modern routers and switches. The expanding functionality of the next-generation Internet and the increasing complexity of its router systems pose a novel challenge for performance evaluation. Researchers and developers involved in designing and implementing new network architectures, router systems, and network applications need the ability to thoroughly evaluate and quantitatively compare the performance of these systems. Currently, there are no established evaluation methodologies, benchmark network topologies, or application workloads to guide the performance evaluation process in next-generation networks. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the networking, computer architecture, and performance evaluation communities to describe, discuss, and advance the state of the art in performance evaluation of next-generation networks. The workshop solicits papers that cover analytic, simulation-based, and measurement-based performance evaluation topics in this area. Since this workshop focuses on next-generation networks, we envision that papers relate to either 1. performance evaluation techniques in next-generation networks or 2. specific performance evaluation studies of next-generation networks and their systems. *** Topics *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Performance evaluation techniques for next-generation networks. * Active and passive measurement in next-generation networks. * Design and prototypes of network measurement systems and tools. * Performance metrics, analysis, and optimization for next- generation networks. * Performance evaluation of network processing systems based on network processors, FPGAs, or multi-core processors. * Performance studies of high performance and programmable routers * Benchmarks of next-generation network applications * Performance techniques and studies related to network virtualization. * Performance techniques and studies related to network security. * Performance techniques and studies related to cross-layer optimization. * Performance evaluation related to GENI and other next- generation network testbeds. * Prototypes and techniques for network trace collection and analysis in next-generation networks *** Submission Instructions *** The workshop welcomes original papers from academia and industry on work related to the above topics. Position papers are welcome and should be identified as such in the title. Submissions must not exceed 6 pages in length, must follow the IEEE conference paper formatting guidelines for US letter page size (http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confer enceTemplates.html), and must be submitted as PDF file. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers can be submitted through the EDAS submission site at http:// www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7336& . *** Important Dates *** Abstract submissions due Friday, Feb 27, 2009 Paper submissions due Friday, Mar 6, 2009 Notification of acceptance Monday, Mar 30, 2009 Camera ready version due Friday, Apr 10, 2009 Workshop date Sunday, Apr 26, 2009 *** Workshop Organizers *** Yan Luo, UMass Lowell Tilman Wolf, UMass Amherst *** Program Committee *** Paul Barford, University of Wisconsin-Madison Laxmi Bhuyan, UC Riverside Mark Crovella, Boston University James Griffioen, University of Kentucky Yu Gu, NEC Laboratories America Gianluca Iannacone, Intel Research Berkeley Raj Jain, Washington University in St. Louis Srihari Makineni, Intel Corporation Ning Weng, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale Li Zhao, Intel Corporation ----------- END of CFP NETEVAL 2009 -------------------- Yan Luo, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Univ. of Massachusetts Lowell Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering Tel: (978) 934-2592 Fax: (978) 934-3027 Web: http://cans.uml.edu/~yluo/ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks ? Datum: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:55:42 +1100 Von: Jinli Cao <J.Cao(a)latrobe.edu.au> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet <https://owa.latrobe.edu.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.inderscienc…> Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks With recent technological advances in communication and computation, new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications are growing. The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN · Distributed source coding in WMSN · Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN · Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3. Emerging WMSN technologies * Hardware platform * Physical layer technologies * Energy harvesting technologies 4. Effective and energy-efficient protocols for WMSN * Real-time and reliable multimedia streaming * Routing and medium access control * Topology control and synchronization protocols * Energy efficient traffic management * QoS provisioning protocols 5. Cross-layer design in WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication * Cooperative communication for multimedia delivery * Effective cross-layer communication protocols * Joint optimization for WMSN design 6.

Extend submission deadline of EVICS 2009
by Lars Wolf 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

The submission deadline of the EVICS 2009 has been extended to 2 March 2009. The workshop is intended to build a platform to discuss open issues related to IVC based improvements of the environmental impact of traveling vehicles. Furthermore, social networking aspects represent the second main topic of the workshop (we believe that both are well connected). EVICS is part of IEEE WoWMoM and, thus, IEEE sponsored. ------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Environmental and Social Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems (EVICS) !!! Extended Submission Deadline: 03/02/2009 !!! http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/evics2009/ held in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2009 June 19, 2009, Kos, Greece Aims and Scope -------------- The establishment of network connections among vehicles and between vehicles and an existing network infrastructure is one of the most challenging research fields in the networking domain. Vehicles can be seen as a mobile communication infrastructure with strong dynamics w.r.t. network topology and changing communication channel conditions. The applications are manifold ranging from comfort services, e.g. traffic information systems, to safety applications, e.g. emergency warnings. Until now, the development of protocols was primarily inspired by existing Internet solutions and the advances in mobile ad hoc networking. However, the specific characteristics of vehicular networks may require quite different communication paradigms. For example, the nodes usually do not have severe power and form factor constraints, and they might be always on. On the other hand, wireless connections may not be stable for a longer time period and the network density is expected to vary from spa! rse to very dense networks. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for novel solutions and services looking into V2V and V2I communication issues focusing on environmental aspects such as optimized CO2 emission, and road traffic shaping, i.e. optimized usage of available routes for all vehicles. Furthermore, con-cerning the drivers or users of vehicles, the service aspect is especially challenging in public trans-portation and for fleet management. The workshop will highlight the latest achievements in the research area of vehicular communication, with the goal of bringing together the different research communities. We especially target protocols and solutions besides simple "802.11+MANET" based solutions and explicitly encourage submission of scientifically sound experimental work. Authors are required to center their work around the environmental and social impacts of IVC and clearly state in the abstract how one or more of these issues are addressed in the paper. We are looking for both technical and position papers presenting new applications for IVC that we have not seen so far, and new ways to exploit existing communication techniques for more efficient IVC. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication * Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC) and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) * Exploiting IVC and intra-vehicular networks for improved safety * IVC for reduced CO2 emission and road traffic shaping * IVC algorithms, protocols, and services (MAC, routing, data dissemination, Internet-connectivity) * IVC related security, safety, and privacy issues and conflicts * Mobility modeling and simulation environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2009 proceedings, hence manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (max. 6 pages, IEEE 8.5x11 conference format). Submission will be handled by EDAS (<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7217&>). Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline (extended): March 2, 2009 Paper Acceptance Notification: April 1, 2009 Camera-Ready Paper Submission: April 10, 2009 Workshop Organizing Committee ----------------------------- * Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany, dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de * Jörg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland, jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi * Eylem Ekici, Ohio State University, USA, ekici(a)ece.osu.edu

[Tccc] Submission Deadline Extension: IEEE EVICS

CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Environmental and Social Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems (EVICS) !!! Extended Submission Deadline: 03/02/2009 !!! http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/evics2009/ held in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2009 June 19, 2009, Kos, Greece Aims and Scope -------------- The establishment of network connections among vehicles and between vehicles and an existing network infrastructure is one of the most challenging research fields in the networking domain. Vehicles can be seen as a mobile communication infrastructure with strong dynamics w.r.t. network topology and changing communication channel conditions. The applications are manifold ranging from comfort services, e.g. traffic information systems, to safety applications, e.g. emergency warnings. Until now, the development of protocols was primarily inspired by existing Internet solutions and the advances in mobile ad hoc networking. However, the specific characteristics of vehicular networks may require quite different communication paradigms. For example, the nodes usually do not have severe power and form factor constraints, and they might be always on. On the other hand, wireless connections may not be stable for a longer time period and the network density is expected to vary from sparse to very dense networks. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for novel solutions and services looking into V2V and V2I communication issues focusing on environmental aspects such as optimized CO2 emission, and road traffic shaping, i.e. optimized usage of available routes for all vehicles. Furthermore, con-cerning the drivers or users of vehicles, the service aspect is especially challenging in public trans-portation and for fleet management. The workshop will highlight the latest achievements in the research area of vehicular communication, with the goal of bringing together the different research communities. We especially target protocols and solutions besides simple "802.11+MANET" based solutions and explicitly encourage submission of scientifically sound experimental work. Authors are required to center their work around the environmental and social impacts of IVC and clearly state in the abstract how one or more of these issues are addressed in the paper. We are looking for both technical and position papers presenting new applications for IVC that we have not seen so far, and new ways to exploit existing communication techniques for more efficient IVC. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication * Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC) and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) * Exploiting IVC and intra-vehicular networks for improved safety * IVC for reduced CO2 emission and road traffic shaping * IVC algorithms, protocols, and services (MAC, routing, data dissemination, Internet-connectivity) * IVC related security, safety, and privacy issues and conflicts * Mobility modeling and simulation environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2009 proceedings, hence manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (max. 6 pages, IEEE 8.5x11 conference format). Submission will be handled by EDAS (<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7217&>). Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline (extended): March 2, 2009 Paper Acceptance Notification: April 1, 2009 Camera-Ready Paper Submission: April 10, 2009 Workshop Organizing Committee ----------------------------- * Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany, dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de * Jörg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland, jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi * Eylem Ekici, Ohio State University, USA, ekici(a)ece.osu.edu _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
