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.

[Tccc] CFP - CoPE 2009 - Deadline extended to Nov 10th
by Aaron Striegel 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

*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)]
by Lars Wolf 05 Nov '08

-------- 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. The other important dates for this special issue are given as follows: Important Dates - Manuscript Submission: December 1, 2008 - Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2009 - Final Manuscript Due: May 15, 2009 - Publication: August 2009 Guest Editors The contact information of the Guest Editors for this Special Issue is given below: Yi Qian Advanced Network Technologies Division National Institute of Standards and Technology 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 8920 Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8920 Tel: +1-301-975-5190 Fax: +1-301-975-6238 Email: yqian(a)ieee.org Kejie Lu Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez Mayaguez, Puerto Rico 00681 Tel.: +1-787-832-4040 x3510 Fax: +1-787-831-7564 Email: lukejie(a)ece.uprm.edu Sastri Kota Harris Corporation 1134 East Arques Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94086, USA Tel.: +1-408-990-8301 Fax: +1-408-990-8399 Email: skota(a)harris.com Giovanni Giambene Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione Università degli Studi di Siena Via Roma, 56 Siena, 53100, Italy Tel.: +39-0577-234603 Fax: +39-0577-263602 Email: giambene(a)unisi.it

by Boris Koldehofe 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Extended deadline for paper submissions: 09/11/2008 CALL FOR PAPERS: First Workshop on Global Sensor Networks (GSN 09) Collocated with KiVS 09 in Kassel, Germany http://ipvs.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/vs/gsn09 March 6th, 2009 WORKSHOP SCOPE Global sensor networks (GSN) are an emergent research area aiming to offer applications easy and efficient access to sensor data at the scale of billions of sensing devices. While a single sensor network typically provides access to information of a limited geographical area and selected types of sensor data, a GSN provides an application with uniform and transparent access to a multitude of individual sensor networks that may be geographically dispersed, aggregating and correlating different types of data as appropriate for the application. The challenges imposed by global sensor networks are relevant to many fields in computer communications and distributed systems such as sensor networks, complex event and stream processing, pervasive computing, and P2P overlays. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working in relevant fields in order to share ideas, challenges and visions on Global Sensor Networks as well as to foster new cooperation. WORKSHOP TOPICS GSN’09 is looking for contributions related but not limited to the following list of topics in the domain of Global Sensor Networks: - Sensor network protocols - Complex event processing - Distributed stream processing - P2P overlays - Middleware - Security - Query processing and optimization - Quality of service - Applications SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should be submitted in PDF format via the workshop page. Contributions may present i) novel and possibly preliminary research results (full papers 12 pages, short papers 6 pages) , ii) position papers describing major challenges (6 pages), iii) new trends from the industry (2 pages). Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the program committee and are selected according to their originality, quality, and relevance to the workshop topics. Accepted papers will appear in the KIVS Workshop proceedings. For accepted papers at least one author must register with the workshop and give a presentation at the workshop. Submissions must follow the KIVS formatting guidelines and must not exceed the given page limits. Note that contributions in English as well as in German are welcome.

The resulting global-level behaviors usually show a number of properties essential for success in natural environments such as: adaptivity to environmental variations, robustness to internal changes and failures, and effectiveness and scalability of performance. Because of all these architectural and performance properties, the observation and reverse-engineering of successful processes in organic, inorganic, and animal systems in nature, has drawn in recent years the attention of many researchers and engineers working in the fields of parallel and distributed systems, and, more in particular, in telecommunications networks. In these domains, nature has provided basic inspiration for the definition of a number of novel algorithms and computational frameworks able to deal effectively with the challenges of current networked systems, which show a growing structural and computational complexity and are made of a large number of highly dynamic and heterogeneous components. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum to present cutting edge research on nature-inspired approaches to problems arising in the design, control, protection, and management of network systems, and to outline new trends in parallel nature-inspired computation for the solution of complex problems. EvoCOMNET is part of EVOSTAR (EVO*), Europe's premier co-located events in the field of evolutionary and nature-inspired computing.
