-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems, SAHNS 2009 at ICDCS 2009, Montreal Datum: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:00:20 -0500 Von: Leszek T. Lilien <llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu> Antwort an: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu Organisation: WMU An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ******************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Please disseminate it to your colleagues that could be interested. ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS SAHNS 2009 The Second International Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems Montreal, Canada, June 26, 2009 http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2009/ In conjunction with the IEEE 29th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SCOPE The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area of ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc networks. It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions for their application-oriented subclasses. One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: a) Design issues for SAHNS: o Novel network and system architectures o Economically-based models and solutions o Operating systems and middleware o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer protocols) o Resource management solutions (incl. resource discovery) o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management o Privacy, security, and trust o Reliability and dependability o Novel hardware platforms b) Development issues for SAHNS: o Development methodologies, models and tools o Analytical and validation models o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools) c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS: o Topology control and management o Energy control and management o Resource and service discovery and control o QoS provisioning and management o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and query processing o Assuring survivability and reliability o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management d) Application issues for SAHNS: o Best current and future applications for SAHNS o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications 2. PAPER SUBMISSION Papers must be submitted in the PDF format, with numbered pages. They should have no more than 6 pages following the IEEE Computer Society proceedings format (8.5 by 11 inch sheets, double-column, 10 point or larger font, single-spaced). The following information must be provided on the first page: o Paper title o Full names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors o An abstract (up to 150 words) o Five to ten keywords/phrases o A footnote with the indication of the corresponding author, plus the complete address, phone and fax numbers of the corresponding author Papers should be submitted by emailing them to: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu Each received submission will be confirmed, usually within two workdays. 3. PAPER REVIEW AND PUBLISHING Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their comments will be provided to the authors. If accepted, the paper will be published in the workshop proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press, provided that at least one of its authors registers for ICDCS (which includes SAHNS) by the early registration deadline. As all conferences published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS), ICDCS proceedings will be indexed through INSPEC, the leading English-language bibliographic information service for scientific and technical literature. ICDCS proceedings will also be submitted for indexing to EI's Engineering Information Index, Compendex, ISI Thomson's Scientific and Technical Proceedings, ISTP/ISI Proceedings, and Current Contents on Diskette (ISI Thomson). We plan a special issue of an international journal with extended versions of the selected SAHNS papers. 4.

The 2nd MANIAC Challenge will be held on March 8-9, 2009, in conjunction with IEEE PerCom in Galveston, Texas. At the MANIAC Challenge, competing teams of students/researchers come together to form a large ad hoc network. The organizers generate traffic destined to each team. Each team can program its own cooperation strategy in the network, dynamically making forwarding and routing decisions. Teams are judged based on how much of the traffic destined to them makes it through the network, how little energy they consume in forwarding traffic, and a subjective evaluation of the quality of their strategy design. To get their traffic across the network, each team must rely on other teams' willingness to forward traffic for them. To participate, the first step is to check out our website at www.maniacchallenge.org <http://www.maniacchallenge.org/> . There you will find the software you need to download, how to get technical support, detailed description of the rules, photos from the 2007 MANIAC Challenge, etc. Hardware requirements are simple: commodity laptops and IEEE 802.11 cards. Feedback we received from student teams and faculty advisors who participated in the 2007 MANIAC Challenge was overwhelmingly positive. For the 2009 competition, we will again be offering some student travel grants to cover some of the travel expenses. We look forward to seeing you there! Please let us know of any suggestions, questions or comments. Best regards, Luiz A. DaSilva and Allen B.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) (Deadline Extended to Nov. 15)]
by Lars Wolf 09 Nov '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) (Deadline Extended to Nov. 15) Datum: Sun, 09 Nov 2008 11:10:23 +0800 Von: Ling-Jyh Chen <cclljj(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers ================================================================== Call for Papers The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-09) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 23th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-09), Bradford, UK, May 26-29, 2009 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON09/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website (http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON09/ISAS/). The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline: Nov. 15, 2008 Authors Notification: Dec. 6, 2008 Authors Registration: Dec. 15, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: Dec. 22, 2008 General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Program Committee Members Nilanjan Banerjee, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA Jun-Hong Cui, University of Connecticut, USA Jyh-How Huang, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA Robert Hsieh, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Dirk Kutscher, Bremen University, Germany Lavy Libman, National ICT Australia, Australia Joerg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland Marco Roccetti, University of Bologna, Italy Pablo Vidales, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Guang Yang, Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

This will pave the way for the realisation of pervasive/ubiquitous computing where the user is making use of many devices and systems simultaneously, in the course of daily activities, without having to make effort or even being aware of them. These devices and systems will then collaborate and form together an ambient intelligence that offers personalised services to the user. However, in order to realise this exciting vision, it is necessary to address and find solutions to many challenges such as seamless access, device and service discovery, service continuity, middleware for pervasive computing, identity, privacy, security, trust, etc. The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop will serve as an ideal meeting place for developers, researchers, practitioners, and educators who are interested or working within the field of mobile, pervasive/ubiquitous computing. It will, hopefully, act as a catalyst for the realisation of the vision of pervasive computing. Topics of interest ================== Submissions are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics: Technologies and devices for pervasive computing Applications and services of pervasive computing technologies Seamless access and Service continuity in pervasive computing Customisation and personalisation of services Context-aware services Device and service discovery in pervasive computing Middleware for pervasive computing Interfaces and modes of interactions between people and pervasive computing devices, applications or environments Tools, infrastructures, architectures and techniques for designing, implementing & deploying pervasive computing applications Evaluations and evaluation methods, for assessing the impact of pervasive computing devices, applications or environments Privacy, security, trust & social issues and implications of pervasive computing Identity management in pervasive computing Intelligent and smart environments Opportunistic pervasive computing Autonomic management of ubiquitous systems Submission Guidelines ===================== The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop welcomes novel and unpublished papers in the field of Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing. Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 6 pages, including tables and figures (up to two extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). The proceedings of the workshop will be published as part of IWCMC2009 main conference, by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital Library. Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in a Special Issue of an International Journal (pending) after further extension. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submissions will be conducted electronically on the conference website: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6827&. Important Dates ================ Paper Submission Deadline: 20 December 2008 Paper Acceptance Notification: 25 March 2009 Camera-ready Paper Submissions: 15 April 2009 Registration Deadline for Authors: 15 April 2009 Workshop Chairs ================ Do van Thanh, Telenor R&I, Norway, thanh-van.do[AT]telenor.com Mieso Denko, University of Guelph, Canada, denko[AT]cis.uoguelph.ca Technical Program Committee (in progress) ========================================= Han-Chieh Chao, National Ilan University, Taiwan Jianhua He, Swansea University, UK Thuan Do, Linus AS, Norway Paal Engelstad, University of Oslo / Telenor R&I, Norway Michael Gardner, University of Essex, UK Mario Freire, University of Beira Interior, Portugal Boning Feng, Oslo University College, Norway Dong Seong Kim, Duke University, USA Tore Jonvik, Oslo University College, Norway Zakaria Maamar, Zayed University, UAE Petri Pulli, University of Oulu, Finland Var Jorstad, Ubisafe AS, Norway Isaac Woungang, Ryerson University, Canada Ching-Hsien Hsu, Chung Hua University, Taiwan Zheng Yan, Nokia, Finland _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: - Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking - Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking - MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) - Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols - Quality of Services provisioning - Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks - Network deployment, localization, and synchronization - Topology construction and maintenance - Modeling and performance evaluations - Cross layer optimizations - Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms - Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks - Testbed, prototype, and practical systems - Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks - Vehicular mesh and ad hoc networks - Wireless sensor networks - Self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems Important Dates ----------------------- - Paper submission due: December 7, 2008 - Acceptance notification: February 7, 2009 - Camera-ready due: March 7, 2009 - Workshop: June 26, 2009 Submissions and Publications -------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

*Apologies if you receive multiple copies* --------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------- The First International Workshop on Cooperation in Pervasive Environments (CoPE 2009) http://www.cse.nd.edu/~darts/cope.html in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2009 (http://www.percom.org) The continuous emergence of powerful personal handheld devices and smart phones are redefining the pervasive computing paradigms of the past. The questions this workshop aims to discuss are: * How does the ubiquity of personal communication devices enable and support cooperative activities? * What are the technical challenges that must be overcome to achieve seamless cooperation? * What are the challenges in discovering and disseminating content given energy and form factor constraints of mobile devices? The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry to foster a discussion on key research challenges in content sharing and dissemination, cooperative activities, mobile search, and security and privacy issues in pervasive environments. Additionally, the workshop forum will provide an opportunity to explore new business models and act as a soundboard for discussing bold new ideas in the area. While the main purpose is to promote discussions in the design of cooperation and sharing architectures, protocols, algorithms, middleware, services, and applications for wireless systems, it also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We therefore seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at all layers of pervasive environments, with the focus on realistic application scenarios. The workshop aims to address cooperation from both an application as well as a system design standpoint. From the application perspective, the workshop encourages submissions of studies of prototypes or real-world systems, including demonstrations of these systems. Cooperation in such applications can take many forms, including multimedia communications, interaction with embedded sensing devices, etc. From the system point of view, the workshop will solicit submissions that discuss architectures for cooperative systems, resource management techniques, security mechanisms, and other middleware or systems approaches for realistic pervasive environments. We will also encourage submissions on "brave new topics" that present futuristic ideas that have never previously been explored. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: * Application design, case studies, prototypes, real-world-systems * Middleware technologies to support cooperation * Content sharing and dissemination in mobile environments * Context- and location-awareness * Efficient search for and dissemination of information * QoS, scalability, and energy efficiency in realistic pervasive systems * Security/privacy aspects of mobile cooperation * Payment and bartering techniques * Multi-radio and multi-channel devices * Network protocols for cooperative computing * Opportunistic sensing, networking, and cooperation * Mobile search and content discovery Submission Instructions: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. Submissions should include an abstract, key words, and email address of the corresponding author. The length of the papers should be limited to 6 pages in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work. Workshop Organizers: Shivajit Mohapatra (Motorola Labs) Christian Poellabauer (University of Notre Dame) Aaron Striegel (University of Notre Dame) Important Dates: November 10, 2008: Paper due December 19, 2008: Acceptance notification January 7, 2009: Final camera ready paper due _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: CFP: Special Issue on Service-Oriented Broadband Wireless Network Architecture (IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: Special Issue on Service-Oriented Broadband Wireless Network Architecture (IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine) Datum: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 10:16:13 -0400 Von: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ece.uprm.edu> Antwort an: lukejie(a)ece.uprm.edu Organisation: UPR-Mayaguez An: <multicomm(a)comsoc.org> - Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ----------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers for Special Issue on Service-Oriented Broadband Wireless Network Architecture IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine In the past few years, broadband wireless networks have been very attractive for providing broadband access because of quick and cost-effective deployments. In addition to the features of high data rate and large coverage, broadband wireless networks also promise to rapidly provide broadband access to locations in the world's rural and developing areas where broadband is currently unavailable, as well as competing for urban market shares. Till now, most existing efforts have been focused the basic "access" capability. However, to successfully deploy and operate broadband wireless networks, a crucial issue must be addressed: "How to support a variety of services and applications within the broadband wireless networks?" For instance, there is an increasing need to efficiently support applications such as voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, music downloading, IP TV and many others. Apparently, existing "access-oriented" design may not be the good answer because of the following reasons. (1) Efficiency: Existing design may not be able to fully exploit the potential of wireless networks because a customer always needs to connect to an access point, which is very likely a bottleneck. (2) Quality of service: For many existing designs that are developed to gain Internet access, the customer may not be able to obtain the desired quality-of-service (QoS) because all services are provided by the Internet, which can only provide best-effort services in practice. (3) Incentive of the service provider: One critical issue that has been largely ignored is that the access-oriented design may not be fair to the service provider who develops the infrastructure, because the service provider can only earn the access fee, which is usually paid monthly and is relatively low compared to the deployment cost. To address the above issues, the service-oriented design on the network layer has been proposed recently and has gained increasing interests from both the research and industrial communities. With such a momentum, there is an urgent need to better understand as well as to keep track of cutting edge research on the service-oriented broadband wireless network architecture. We plan this special issue to help address that need, as well as to help researchers looking to jump on the bandwagon. Therefore, the special issue will focus on recent advances as well as survey papers in service-oriented broadband wireless network architecture. Scope of Contributions The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research in various aspects of service-oriented broadband wireless network architectures. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the following: - Broadband wireless network services and applications - 3G LTE services and applications - WiMAX services and applications - Service-oriented wireless mesh network architecture - Cross-layer approaches for service-oriented broadband wireless networks - Theoretical capacity analysis on service-oriented wireless networks - Topology control for emerging multihop wireless networks - Routing for service-oriented wireless networks - Optimal scheduling and medium access control for broadband wireless applications - Service orientation and call admission control in broadband wireless networks - QoS provision through interconnected wired and wireless segments - Security in broadband wireless networks - Reliability in multihop wireless networks - Network coding and physical-layer network coding in broadband wireless networks Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. However, papers presenting original contributions will also be considered, as long as the presentation is accessible and the paper length is kept within the appropriate limits. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. For manuscript submission, authors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the "Information for Authors" at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to the papers needing only moderate revisions. Therefore, the quality of initially submitted manuscripts is very important. Prospective authors should submit the all-in-one PDF version of their complete manuscripts (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 MB) via email to lukejie(a)ece.uprm.edu before December 1, 2008.
