There has always been an answer to all requirements, no matter whether caused by new applications or technologies. So, over time the formerly simple and clear Internet architecture has become a patchwork of new balconies, workarounds and bypasses. In this conference track we aim to discuss the two mainstreams of network advances: the "Clean-Slate Approach" as well as the "Evolutionary Approach". Beside future networks also new applications, especially in the field of social networks, are becoming popular. This conference track addresses the technical issues of such and other emerging applications. Decentralized applications for open communities require new solutions for resources provisioning, rating of user generated content and services and for security. We invite you to contribute to this conference track by submitting proposals in one or more of the categories outlined below. Submissions may address requirement analysis, specific approaches and presentations of first solutions. Future Networks * Future Internet architectural issues, clean slate and evolutionary approaches * Cross-layer design and optimization * Separating of identity and address (locator/ID split) * Network virtualization * Network and service management * Self-engineering communications * Content based routing * Security and privacy Future Applications * Video and audio casting * Approaches and reliability of collective rating and description of content and services * Supporting collaborative work * Distributed resources / distributed computing * Grid and cloud computing We encourage submissions demonstrating the potential of new applications by providing case studies, experiments, and quantitative data. We encourage submissions demonstrating the potential of new approaches by providing case studies, experiments, and quantitative data. Submission of papers -------------------- Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of their paper to: http://seaa2009.vtt.fi/ Papers should not exceed 8 pages (in IEEE/CS proceedings format; 10pt, single-space, double-column) or 6000 words and include an abstract of up to 150 words.

[Tccc] Deadline approaching: JSAC Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking' sent to authors of NetCri07
by Moustafa Youssef 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

Our apology if you receive multiple posts of this announcement. ====================================================================== JSAC CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking Mission-Critical Networking (MCN) refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection and operation, emergency and crisis intervention, healthcare services, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity, emergent behaviors, and the need for reliable and timely response. MCN should comprise networking technology, infrastructures and services that may alleviate the risk and directly enable and enhance connectivity for mission-critical information exchange among diverse, widely-dispersed, mobile users. A primary challenge to MCN is to deploy and dynamically configure and evolve communication networks that are dependable, autonomic, secure, adaptive, and rapidly deployable to support critical missions and their priorities. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of both authorized and unauthorized entities, quality-of-service aware audio and video communication, emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, on-demand federation, and service-oriented architecture. Also important is the integration of MCN with the Internet to reduce cost of deployment and maintenance and to enhance reachability and ubiquity. This special issue of the Journal on Selected Areas in Communications solicits high quality technical contributions in mission-critical networking including, but not limited to: - Architecture and design of MCN and next-generation emergency calling and alerting - Rapidly and dynamically deployable services and networks - Evolving "elastic" networking with decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation - Federation and policy management for heterogeneous networks and protocols - Trust, security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and management for MCN - Sensor and actuator networks for critical information gathering, tracking and real-time control - MCN traffic and mobility analysis - Formal methodology for cognitive, autonomic, and context-aware protocols and network management - Spectrum management and access - Testbeds, benchmarks, performance and experimental studies ** Paper Submission Manuscripts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review. Argument justifying contribution specific to the unique features of MCN must be provided. Prospective authors should follow the IEEE JSAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors at: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to mcn-jsac(a)criticalnet.org according to the following timetable: - Manuscript submission: April 1, 2009 - First review notification: August 1, 2009 - Revised manuscript due: October 1, 2009 - Acceptance notification: November 1, 2009 - Final manuscript due: January 2, 2010 - Publication: June, 2010 ** Guest Editors - Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA - Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Switzerland - Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas, USA - Moustafa Youssef, Nile University, Egypt - Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University, USA - Mario Gerla, UCLA, USA - David Du, National Science Foundation and University of Minnesota, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

14 Mar '09

EMNs 2009 CFP The First International Workshop on Emerging Mobile Networks (EMNs'2009) 19-21 August 2009, Indianapolis, USA http://sun0.cs.uca.edu/~EMNs To be held in conjunction with: The 12th International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems (NBiS 2009) Scope Mobility is rapidly turning out to be a critical component of many next generation systems. Chief among these include Mobile Vehicular Networks, Mobile Social Networks, Mobile Sensor Networks, Next Generation Cellular Networks among others. While mobility itself has been a well studied topic, the emphasis has for a long time centred around the theme of Mobile AdHoc Networks (MANETs). Unfortunately, many of the assumptions in traditional MANETs including mobility models, purpose/ scope of mobility, social aspects, network scale, and security do not hold in many emerging mobile networks. Consequently, existing theories, architectures and protocols in traditional MANETs for issues like mobility models, data delivery, data management, security, privacy etc. are clearly not enough for emerging mobile networks, and need a ground-up redesign. Furthermore, a vast number of newer problems are emerging in such networks like vehicular safety, fairness in content sharing, mobility centric threats and countermeasures, and newer application paradigms that have hitherto not been explored in sufficient detail. The goal of this workshop is to provide a technical forum for researchers, practitioners and students to disseminate and exchange original research ideas on important topics in a wide class of emerging mobile networks. Topics of interest We are soliciting original and unpublished research papers on a broad spectrum of topics in the following areas including (but not limited to):  Mobility models for emerging mobile networks  Cross Layer Optimizations  Security and Privacy  Content Sharing and Management  Intra and Inter Vehicular Communications  Next generation Cellular Networks  Social aspects  Intelligent transportation systems  New Applications for mobile networking  Simulation, Emulation and testbeds for large-scale mobile networks  Performance, scalability, reliability and efficiency of mobile networks  Mobility Centric threats and countermeasures Paper Submission Guideline Submit a full paper with 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. The papers will be carefully evaluated based on relevance, originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Authors can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page: URL: http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm EMNs-09's submission web site can be accessed at: http://sun0.cs.uca.edu/~EMNs Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one of the authors of accepted papers is required to register and present the work at the workshop; otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital library after the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP Special Issue PIK on “Mobile Ad-hoc-Networks” Datum: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:50:31 +0100 Von: Matthias Frank <matthew(a)CS.UNI-BONN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: Institute of Computer Science IV, University of Bonn An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, sicher haben Sie in der vergangenen Woche bei der KiVS 2009 in Kassel bereits die Auslage bzw. die Umschlagrückseite der PIK-Ausgabe 1/09 bemerkt. Falls Sie nicht vor Ort waren, möchten wir Sie anbei über einen Call for Papers für eine Special Issue PIK on „Mobile Ad-hoc Networks“ informieren. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Matthias Frank, Frank Kargl, Burkhard Stiller ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= You can find a PDF version of the CfP at http://wman2009.cs.uni-bonn.de/ (direct link http://wman2009.cs.uni-bonn.de/fileadmin/user_upload/matthew/CfP-Special-Is…) ================================================================= Call for Paper Special Issue PIK on Mobile Ad-hoc Networks PIK IV/2009 Scope of the Special Issue Recently, mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) researchers show a large interest in application and application-oriented protocol research. While the basic organization of routing has been addressed since a couple of years, more recent activities include auto-configuration, security and data privacy, integration into hybrid networks, or efficient use of various resources, such as bandwidth, energy, or memory. Furthermore, the focus is shifted towards specific environments like vehicular networks, mesh networks, or wireless sensor networks. Whereas research on generic MANETs always struggled with unclear operational conditions, a myriad of protocols and applications is designed in these specialized areas. However, the goal still must be to generalize these approaches to provide for broader ranges of MANETs. It is the goal of this special issue to present approaches and solutions in a wide variety of MANET-related domains in order to enable this generalization and transfer ideas between the different areas. Therefore, this special issue of the PIK magazine covers ongoing research on the lower radio transmission layer all the way up to the application layer relevant in MANETs. Furthermore, dedicated application scenarios, such as vehicle-to-vehicle communications, disaster recovery or emergency services are of high interest. Tutorial-style articles in these fields are also solicited, if they provide a structured introduction and overview of state-of-the-art technologies, mechanisms, or architectures. Areas of Interest Contributions in the following areas are of specific interest but are not limited to: • Multi-hop wireless networks • Infrastructure-less networks • Mesh networks • Inter-Vehicular-Communication (IVC, V2X, C2X) • Wireless sensor networks • Underwater sensor networks • Use of cognitive radio • Use of software defined radio • Ad-hoc Networking architectures and protocols • Applications and application scenarios for ad-hoc networks (e.g. disaster recovery, emergency services, ..) • Routing mechanisms • Scalability and simulations • Energy efficiency • QoS for ad-hoc networks • Self-configuration and self-organization in ad-hoc networks • Auto-configuration and addressing • Security, privacy, and data protection in ad-hoc networks • Software platforms (middleware) for mobile applications • Location-based services and their deployment • Context management for ad-hoc services • Pricing models and accounting schemes for commercial ad-hoc services • Management mechanisms of ad-hoc networks Important Information Authors should send their submissions (German or English language) in PDF format only and by e-mail to Matthias Frank (matthew(a)cs.uni-bonn.de). The submission should not exceed 6 pages (one page of the PIK format equals approximately 6000 characters excluding figures). All submissions will be peer-reviewed. In case of an acceptance, the final and camera-ready version of the article has to take into account all comments of those reviews received. Important Dates Submission Deadline: April 30, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: July 6, 2009 Final Version: September 30, 2009 Publication: PIK issue IV/2009 (publication early January 2010) Guest Editors Matthias Frank, Universität Bonn, Germany: <matthew(a)cs.uni-bonn.de> Frank Kargl, Universität Ulm, Germany: <frank.kargl(a)uni-ulm.de> Burkhard Stiller, Universität Zürich, Switzerland: <stiller(a)ifi.uzh.ch>

[Fwd: [Tccc] Final Call for Papers: MobiArch 2009 (co-located with ACM MobiSys)]
by Lars Wolf 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final Call for Papers: MobiArch 2009 (co-located with ACM MobiSys) Datum: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 09:14:15 +0200 Von: Joerg Ott <jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers The 4th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2009) ----------------------------------------------------- Co-located with MobiSys, 22 June 2009, Krakow, Poland http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~mobiarch/2009/ With the recent development of technologies in wireless access and mobile devices, user, terminal, and network mobility has become an indispensable component of today's Internet vision, and it is likely to continue in the near future, while affecting the whole architectural design of the future Internet. Yet, issues like efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, wireless access and related operational/deployment concerns are still in their early stages of development. Moreover, the Internet architecture, its end-to-end principles, and business models will require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as efficient and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies may pose additional challenges to the Internet architecture since they introduce design principles different from the original Internet. MobiArch 2009 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. Furthermore, the potential of usability of mobility services for connecting people and devices in developing regions of the world into the Internet infrastructure will be also explored. Topics of MobiArch 2009 cover all aspects of architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on the Internet architecture * Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in link, network, transport to session/application layers and cross-layer design * Location management, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues * Security and privacy issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture * Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in extreme environments (e.g., remote areas, developing countries) * Performance issues with mobility in the Internet * QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture * Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) * Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design * Technologies for mobile wireless access and interactions Submissions must present original results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 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. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS (http://edas.info/7188). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 15 March 2009 (extended) Acceptance Notification: 31 March 2009 Camera Ready Due: 15 April 2009 Workshop Date: 22 June 2009 TPC Chairs: Joerg Ott Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Kun Tan Microsoft Research Asia For more information, contact workshop co-chairs at mobiarch-chairs(a)informatik.uni-goettingen.de. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Re: [GAMESNETWORK] Fwd: Call for Papers - 2nd Workshop on Mobile Gaming
by Holger Mügge 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

For those of you who do not speak/write german: We also appreciate english contributions (papers, demos, presentations). Deadline: April, 26th, 2009 I append the full english CFP here, too. Thanks, Holger ENGLISH CFP FOLLOWS: 39. Annual Meeting of the „Gesellschaft für Informatik“ (GI) – Lübeck, Germany, 2009 2nd Workshop on Mobile Gaming Motivation Mobile games are based on the physical movements of players in a game- world that combines the real world with virtual dimensions. Mobile games unite two game-worlds that were previously mutually exclusive: classic outdoor games and computer games. But they are also games in the traditional sense as “homo sapiens” has always been a “homo ludens”. Games are part of the every day life, just like eating, breathing, or sleeping. They allow us to try the impossible. We use game rules to voluntarily confine the game space, and then roam this space to imaginatively overcome the limits of reality. But apart from being a pastime, games also mirror the real world and so they can be used to play-test life. Over the centuries, games evolved with the intellectual and technical possibilities of mankind. The prehistory of mobile games began in the 1980s with Nintendo’s handheld “Game & Watch” electronic games. The early 1990s saw the advent of the “Gameboy”, which introduced exchangeable cartridges to the video games mass market. At the turn of the millennium, the Japanese I-Mode network pioneered mobile data services and thus opened the door for mobile games that used the wireless Internet for communication. On 1 May 2000, the US government announced the discontinuation of the artificial degradation of GPS signals for non- military users. This marks the end of the prehistory and the dawning of mobile games in our sense. The first such mobile game was Geocaching, where participants use GPS coordinates that they obtained over the Internet to search for small treasures that were hidden by other players. In 2003, Nokia introduced the N-Gage, which was a GPRS-enabled smart-phone with an integrated game-console. Due to its GPRS data-service, it allowed for wide-area multiplayer games that were connected via a central server. At the same time, it also allowed proximity based multiplayer games via Bluetooth communication. Research project began to sprout world-wide in conjunction with all these technological developments. These projects set out to exploit the new possibilities and developed context-aware and location-based applications that used the new wireless positioning and communication technologies in various ways and thus advanced the field in which mobile games are grounded. Mobile games utilise mobile and pervasive technology. Small and portable devices are equipped with sensors and models of their environments that allow them to sense their current context, which includes location, and act according to this input. Thus, from a technological point of view, mobile games are part of the field of ubiquitous computing. Goals and research questions Mobile games open up a wide range of research and developments questions from a multitude of perspectives, including the conceptual, the aesthetic and the technical. They require research into new types of games and experiences, their concepts and design strategies, as well as into the technical domain. Researchers around the world utilise the human intellect of mobile gamers to test prototypes of new interfaces for human-computer interaction, infrastructures, and design concepts in order to advance the new technologies. Games define their own rules – this opens up a truly unique field for research into ideas and technologies. The context of mobile games also provides opportunities for research into the individual and social processes that circumvent the use of information technology. Game design faces new challenges. Until now, only a few games exploited the possibilities offered by augmented and mixed reality, global networks, location services and various sensors. Theory and methods of analysis of the player experience in mobile games are still in its infancy. What is the meaning of mobility and physical movement in these mixed reality game-worlds? How to analyse the experience of mobile players that are roaming the area rather than sitting in a laboratory? What is the role of game communities and cultures for mobile games? Design and development of mobile games confronts us with the grand challenges of ubiquitous computing: the complexity of mobile, distributed services, its dynamic and ever changing contexts, the diversity of participants, and the interaction in a post-desktop paradigm which entails the body, various senses and modalities. The technological diversity of hardware and software needs to be bridged so that mobile gamers can interact across device boundaries. The rapidly evolving diversity of sensors, actuators and user-interfaces demands for flexible frameworks that allow for an easy integration. This workshop contributes to revealing the research and development possibilities offered by mobile games, and has a particular focus on the German science and industry sectors. Researchers and developers can use this field to exchange their experiences, formulate new research questions, identify innovation potential, and find ways to improve the business environment and leverage the potentials offered by this exciting new field of research. Addressees This workshop is primarily targeted at users, developers, researchers and decision makers in the field of mobile games, who are interested in creative and innovative applications for pervasive and ubiquitous computing. In addition to this, the workshops also seeks to address people beyond the field of computer science, who are fascinated and inspired by the technical possibilities offered by mobile games and want to give growth to their own ideas. Topics Contributions to the workshop can be either technical papers or position statements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Mobile games in the everyday life Context of mobile games Mobile game experiences and activities Mobile gamer as producer Alternate reality games Traditional games and mobile games Serious games – learning, testing, creating value in a serious context Interfaces and interaction techniques for mobile games Augmented and mixed reality for mobile games Development processes and architectures for mobile games Authoring systems for mobile games Complexity of hard- and software – problems and solutions Exploiting technical boundaries Dates Submission deadline: 26.04.2009 Notification of acceptance: 25.05.2009 Final submission: 01.07.2009 Organisers Pascal Bihler, Universität Bonn Barbara Grüter, Hochschule Bremen Holger Mügge, Universität Bonn Leif Oppermann, Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham Program committee Linda Breitlauch, MediaDesign Hochschule Düsseldorf Gregor Broll, LMU München Wolfgang Broll, Fraunhofer FIT, St. Augustin Armin B.

[Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009)
by Chia Ching Ooi 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. =================================================== Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009) http://cone.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/wewsn09/ In conjuction with DCOSS 2009 Marina Del Rey, California, June 2009 =================================================== Wireless sensor networks offer a wealth of capabilities for interfacing the physical world with applications in environmental, industrial, and medical domains. A typical wireless sensor network is expected to work without human intervention for a long time period. Hence, energy efficiency is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks in order to achieve maximum network lifetime. Due to the energy constraints of sensor devices, communication protocols and hardware architectures for wireless sensor networks necessitate an energy-aware design to ensure the longevity of the network. While most wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices, new technologies such as energy harvesting have gained much attention in the research community recently. In addition, each layer of the communication protocol stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy with consideration of the hardware's capabilities to minimize energy expenditure. WEWSN intends to bring together the researchers working on various topics in wireless sensor networks with relation to energy. It will be held as a one-day workshop in conjunction with DCOSS'09, co-located with several related workshops on special topics in wireless networking, thus providing an ideal venue for researchers to share their ideas and discuss their latest research work. Scope Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to energy in wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following featured topics: * Architectures and protocols for energy management * Energy-aware data gathering and routing protocols * Wake-up scheduling algorithms * Duty cycle management * Data aggregation, conservation, optimization * Energy models for analysis and simulation * Resource management * Energy scavenging, energy harvesting * Coverage and connectivity algorithms * Cross-layer optimization * Energy and bandwidth efficient distributed signal processing * Medium access control and topology control * Error control protocols and fault-tolerance * Traffic management and congestion control * Energy-efficient system services (e.g. localization, time synchronization) * WSN hardware and operating systems Paper Submission Instructions We only accept original papers that have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submitted papers must conform to the IEEE-Transactions format and should not exceed 8 pages. All submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair.
