Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages in ACM conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

CFP: Special Issue on Service-Oriented Broadband Wireless Network Architecture (IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine)
by Kejie Lu 28 Sep '08

28 Sep '08

- 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.

With the rapid convergence of networks and applications, changes in related industries, more complex value chains and increased competition, early prototyping and experimentation will become a key means for driving innovation and development of market oriented solutions. In this context, value generation has shifted from network technologies towards applications and content. Thus, the nature and scope of testbeds have changed substantially in recent years from solely network technologies towards complex service delivery infrastructures riding on various networks. In contrast to traditional vendor, operator and technology specific "closed" testbeds, the notion of "open" testbeds has emerged. "Open" in this context means both wide access as a shared resource and extensibility to include on-demand new end systems, network technologies, protocol stacks, and, most importantly, new middleware and service delivery platforms for specific test purposes. To meet this need, major research and development programs have started around the globe, including GENI in the U.S. and FIRE in Europe, to establish large scale experimental facilities. TridentCom 2009 will provide a forum to explore existing and planned testbed concepts, infrastructures, and tools to address the research and business challenges in a world of global convergence. Prospective authors from academia, industry and government are invited to submit high quality papers in two categories, Full Papers and Testbed Practices Papers, as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management, including, but not limited to: * Next Generation Internet and Clean Slate Protocol Stack Testbeds * GRID Testbeds and P2P Testbeds * Automonic Communications and Self-managing Network Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network and Seamless Services Testbeds * End System and Sensor Testbeds * Smart Home and Converged Communication and Media Services Testbeds * SOA/Web 2.0 Services Testbeds * Next Generation Services Testbeds * Service Creation and Provisioning Testbeds * Next Generation Networks, IMS, and Quad Play Testbeds * Configurable Hardware/Software Platforms for Testbeds * Testbed Tools for Interoperability, Benchmarking and Traffic Measurements * Innovative Measurements Methodologies and Tools for Networks and Services * Industrial informatics * Wireless industrial communications * Networked industrial automation Important dates: ---------------- Papers submission deadline: October 1, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: January 15, 2009 The Tridentcom'05 and Tridentcom'06 Proceedings have been indexed by Engineering Information (EI).

However, various applications and media formats may have different quality evaluation criteria and control parameters. For example, scalability and interactivity are very crucial performance metrics for 3D graphics scene model representation and delivery, while they may not be that important for some other multimedia applications. Thus, there is a strong impetus to develop new quality evaluation methodologies for various media formats under different multimedia application scenarios. Recently, cross-layer design has become a popular design methodology for enhancing Quality-of-Service (QoS) over various multimedia communications systems. However, most existing cross-layer designs for QoS provisioning in multimedia communications are mainly focused on improving network-oriented QoS such as throughput, delay, and jitter, while the multimedia application-oriented QoS have not been fully considered in the existing cross-layer design optimization. Therefore, quality-driven multimedia communications need to be extensively investigated under various communications scenarios involving audio, video, VoIP, image, and/or graphics. Under such a background, it is very important to highlight the importance of quality-driven cross-layer design as one of the enabling technologies for the next-generation quality-aware service-oriented multimedia networks. The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of quality-driven cross-layer designs for multimedia communications. Original completed and unpublished works not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: User perceptual quality enhancement methodology Media quality measurements for communications applications Optimized 3D graphics scene representation and transmissions Optimized image/video representation and transmissions Optimized audio/speech coding and transmissions Content-aware cross-layer design and optimization Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design Quality-driven cross-layer design architecture Quality-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control Quality-driven cross-layer MAC and routing protocols Cross-layer protocol stacks for quality support Performance evaluation of quality-driven cross-layer system design Standardization issues related to quality-driven cross-layer design Cross-layer design for P2P streaming Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks *Submission Procedure: * Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published at www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/tmm/infotmm.html.

Obviously, these heterogeneous networks need new applications and services but generate new constraints. Indeed, interconnection of different technologies requires high quality of service and safe and secure data transmission between a source and a destination. In order to do so, adaptation or even modification of some protocols may be needed. The aim of the conference is to bring together scientists and engineers, whether from academia or industry, to exchange and discuss their experiences and research results about all issues of these new types of networks. Thus, it gives a great opportunity to present new opinions and receive feedback on work in progress. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: o Ad-hoc networks o BAN o Call admission and congestion control o Cooperative networks o Cross-layer architectures o DVB o Dynamic networks o Heterogeneous networks o MIMO o Mobile and wireless networks o Multimedia QoS and management o Peer to peer o Resource management and QoS for real time traffic support o RFID and sensor networks o Routing and switching o Security techniques and systems o Terrestrial satellite integration o Transport protocols o Ultra-wide band o WiMax networks o Wireless mesh networks o WLAN, WPAN and 3G/4G networks Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in PDF format only reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] Special Issue on MMOG Systems and Applications Datum: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:51:16 +0330 Von: Shervin Shirmohammadi <shervin(a)discover.uottawa.ca> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br *Call for Papers* *Massively Multiuser Online Gaming Systems and Applications* *Special Issue of* *Springer’s Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP)* *Guest Editors: *Shervin Shirmohammadi, University of Ottawa, Canada Mark Claypool, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, U.S.A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Massively Multiuser Online Games (MMOG) are now widely used not only for gaming, but also for socializing, business and commerce, experimentation, and many other practical purposes. One could argue that MMOGs are the “killer app” that can bring Virtual Reality into the realm of eSociety, creating an environment with millions of people taking part in various activities and daily life, but electronically. This is evident from the fact that real companies are opening “virtual branches” in these online gaming platforms, such as clothing manufacturers, IBM, and CNN, to name a few companies present in Second Life. Virtual currencies such as Second Life’s Linden (or L$) are already being exchanged for real-world money, as are virtual items and virtual properties that are sold for real money. Massive numbers of users spend their time with their fellow players at online games like EverQuest, World of Warcraft, and Second Life. World of Warcraft, for example, has over ten million (10,000,000) users with a peak of over 500,000 players interacting at a given time in the digital world. There is no doubt that MMOGs have a great potential to become the corner stone of an eSociety platform bringing the massiveness of the real society into the digital realm. This special issue will cover enabling technologies and systems for MMOGs, as well as applications of MMOGs outside of gaming. The focus will be mostly on the “massive” aspect of games, but high-quality papers in real-time interactive multiuser games (albeit not massive) will also be considered if they address issues that can benefit massive games too. Hence, topics include, but are not limited to: * Networking support for massive number of players * Networked games (non-massive) * P2P architectures for better scalability * Zoning techniques, Area of Interest Management, and seamless player movement * Application-Layer Multicasting for massive user support * Performance evaluation and traffic/player pattern measurements * Audio/video conferencing in games * Latency compensation techniques * Content adaptation for players on heterogeneous receivers * Cheating: detection, avoidance, and repair * Multiuser mobile games * Case studies about applications of gaming in other disciplines such as business, pedagogy, biology, psychology, etc. Only papers that have not been published and/or submitted elsewhere will be considered. Exception will be made for previously-published high-quality conference/workshop papers, as long as they have been substantially extended in terms of technical content and evaluation. Papers should be no more than 20 pages, including figures and tables, formatted according to MTAP guidelines, please see: http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,4-40109-70-35538244… PDF submissions must be emailed directly to BOTH the guest editors at shervin(a)discover.uottawa.ca <mailto:shervin@discover.uottawa.ca> and claypool(a)cs.wpi.edu <mailto:claypool@cs.wpi.edu> before the submission deadline below. If the submission is an extended version of a previously-published conference paper, authors must also include explanation of what parts have been extended. Please check the CFP website for possible updates and/or changes http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~shervin/mmogsi/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Important Dates* Manuscript Submission January 15^th 2009 Notification of Decision February 15^th 2009 Final Papers due March 15^th 2009 Tentative Publication date before end of 2009 _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues
