CFP: 1st Workshop on Wireless Broadband Access for Communities and Rural Developing Regions
by Peter Dely 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 1st Workshop on Wireless Broadband Access for Communities and Rural Developing Regions Co-located at 1st International Conference on "M4D" - Mobile Communication Technology for Development", http://m4d.humanit.org/ December 11-12, 2008, Karlstad University, Sweden Sponsored by E-CLIC (EU-regional funds) ************************************************************************** Broadband internet access is at present available only to a small portion of the world's population, and there is a significant penetration discrepancy not only between different countries but also between different regions and areas within a given country. In addition, there is a growing interest on the local community and municipal levels to get broadband wireless access, but the number of options regarding network and service providers, as well as price and usage plans, is severely limited. However, affordable broadband for all is a key requirement to bridge the digital divide and to bring sustainable development to rural and developing regions as well as to support communities and municipalities. Today, existing technologies and plans for broadband access fail to address key challenges in terms of cost, deployment, or power consumption in order to bring broadband internet access to sparsely populated rural areas or to the masses of developing countries. While the focus of the general M4D conference is on multi-disciplinary research addressing the social, political, cultural and educational barriers to bringing ICT into developing regions, this workshop focuses on the technical and economical aspects of enabling (broadband) wireless internet access for rural and developing areas, as well as supporting communities and municipalities. The goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners and to serve as a forum for presenting and discussing state of the art research, exchanging ideas and experiences, and facilitating interaction and collaboration. Therefore, we are encouraging contributions including but not limited to topics listed below: * Cost-effective Rural, Urban and Community Wireless and Mesh Networks * Long distance and low power wireless network deployments * Power-Efficient Wireless Networks and Mobile Systems * Opportunistic Communication Paradigms * Social Networks meet Wireless * Planning and Deployment of Community and Municipality Wireless Networks * Business Models and Economics of Community and Rural Wireless Networks * Applications and Services for Communities, Cross-layer design for localized communication * Case Studies and Testbeds Submission Instructions Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of an extended abstract (maximum of 1000 words, in English) of their contribution to wireless4d(a)kau.se by no later than September 30th, 2008. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the workshop and register at regular registration rates. The submitted final written material can be in the form of either a regular conference paper (10 pages maximum, single-spaced) or in the form of a slide presentation/ poster. Accepted contributions will be part of the M4D conference proceedings either as full paper or as the extended abstract and published on this website after the conference. Participants will present their contributions as either talks (max. 20 minutes) or poster presentations Important dates Abstract submission due: September 30th 2008 Acceptance Notification: October 31st, 2008 Camera ready manuscripts due: November 15, 2008 Workshop date: December 11-12, 2008 Workshop Chair Andreas J.

Apologies if you receive multiple copies ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems Special Issue on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Wireless Networking Systems http://taas.acm.org/TAAS-ACM-SelfOrg-WSN.pdf Paper submission due: July 31st, 2008 **************************************************************************************** Recent advances in wireless communications and networking, distributed sensing and control, and real-time and embedded systems have led to some new computing paradigms, such as ubiquitous and pervasive computing, wireless sensor networks, and cyber-physical systems. Many novel and attractive applications are made possible, such as advanced automotive systems, environmental control, critical infrastructure control, high confidence medical devices and systems, etc. In these applications, a large scale wireless networking system that consists of massive numbers of connected processing elements, sensors, and actuators often plays a key role. The high complexity of such large scale heterogeneous systems raises new challenges to the system design: we expect the system to be context-aware and self-adaptive to internal and external environments to achieve reliable and robust performance; to be self-organizing and scalable so that managing and maintaining costs could be minimized; to have programmable architecture and protocols for achieving optimal performance in different situations/scenarios, etc. These challenges need to be addressed under joint efforts from different areas, such as networking, system, control, AI, biology, and others. The special issue seeks original and unpublished papers that address theoretical and experimental work related to self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems (SASOWNS). Papers are solicited from, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Self-adaptive architectures, algorithms, and protocols * Control theoretical approaches for self-optimization * Self-organizing wireless mesh, ad hoc, and sensor networking * Self-configurable and programmable MAC and routing protocols * Biological, economic, and social models for large scale SASOWNS * Applications and testbeds of SASOWNS * Autonomic and autonomous wireless networking systems IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submission due: July 31st, 2008 Acceptance notification: Dec. 31st, 2008 Camera-ready due: Feb. 28th, 2009 Tentative publication date: June/Sep. 2009 SUBMISSION FORMAT AND REVIEW GUIDELINES --------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting important developments (or advances) in the topics related to the special issue. The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Parallel submissions will not be accepted. If an earlier version of the manuscript was published/accepted in conferences, authors should state so in the cover letter.

Campbell <Campbell(a)cs.dartmouth.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: Andrew T. Campbell <Campbell(a)cs.dartmouth.edu> Call for Papers Workshop on Urban, Community, and Social Applications of Networked Sensing Systems November 4, 2008, Raleigh http://sensorlab.cs.dartmouth.edu/urbansensing/ Held in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2008 Sensing is going mobile and people-centric. Sensors for activity recognition and GPS for location are now being shipped in millions of top end mobile phones. This complements other sensors already on mobile phones such as high-quality cameras and microphones. At the same time we are seeing sensors installed in urban environments in support of more classic environmental sensing applications, such as, real-time feeds for air-quality, pollutants, weather conditions, and congestion conditions around the city. Collaborative data gathering of sensed data for people by people, facilitated by sensing systems comprised of everyday mobile devices and their interaction with static sensor webs, present a new frontier at the intersection between pervasive computing and sensor networking. This workshop promotes exchange among sensing researchers involved in areas, such as, mobile sensing, people-centric and participatory sensing, urban sensing, public health, community development, and cultural expression. It focuses on how mobile phones and other everyday devices can be employed as network- connected, location-aware, human-in-the-loop sensors that enable data collection, geo-tagged documentation, mapping, modeling, and other case-making capabilities. This workshop is the third in a series of meetings held at SenSys over last few years. The first workshop in 2006 dealt with the concept of the world sensor web and the second at SenSys 2007 focused on sensing on everyday mobile phones in support of participatory research. We particularly encourage position papers on the following topics (but not limited to): -Applications and architectural ideas -Mobile phones sensing systems -Activity recognition and classification techniques -Data gathering, analysis and visualization of sensed data -Privacy and security issues -Sensing and its application to social networks -City-wide urban sensing -Machine learning for human and group behavior -Participatory and opportunistic sensing -Body area sensor networks -Sensing for creational applications, healthcare, public health, community development, and cultural expression. -Interaction between static sensor webs and mobile sensors Paper Submission Instructions: Submissions should contain 5 U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables.

M4D 2008 focuses specifically on mobile technologies within the broader field of study that has now become known as ICT4D ("ICT for Development"). We strive to have an event where all types of actors are included. There will be a research stream with a traditional conference design and a practitioners stream where industry, NGOs, and public bodies can disseminate their knowledge. For each of these two major focuses there will be an internationally renowned keynote speaker. We welcome presentations within all "m" areas: m-government, m-health, m-banking, m-policy, etc., as well as social and cultural aspects of M4D. While the "m" in this context often implies low tech it is also noteworthy that wireless connections have promises for the development of broadband networks: there will be a special workshop on wireless broadband networks for developing regions including mesh networks. Submission of papers and poster abstracts will open in late August and close at the end of October. We will review proposals continuously to be able to provide early feedback to people who need Letters of Invitation for visas to get to Sweden; see further under "Participation" at http://m4d.humanit.org !

[Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (submission deadline extended)
by Ling-Jyh Chen 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Apologies if you have received multiple copies ================================================================== Call for Papers The First IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-08) http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON08/ to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 2008 Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference (IEEE APSCC 2008), December 9-12, 2008, Yilan, Taiwan. ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to- vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular 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: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website: http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON08/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 five (5) 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Tridentcom 2009 CFP Datum: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:28:00 +0800 Von: Brad <brad(a)wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ===================================================================== Call for Papers 5th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks & Communities (Tridentcom) April 6-8, 2009, Washington D.C., USA www.tridentcom.org/cfp.htm TridentCom 2009 represents a landmark in the history of international testbed conferences. 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 due (to be received by): October 1, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: January 15, 2009 The conference proceedings will be published as Springer LNICST electronically as well as in hard copy. The proceedings will be accessible via LNICST's dedicated website, which is coming soon. Authors are invited to submit Full Papers of up to 10 pages and Testbed Practices Papers of up to 6 pages, including references, figures and tables, formatted according to the LNICST format.

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ***************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS BIONETICS 2008 3rd International Conference on Bio inspired Models of Network, Information and Computing Systems http://www.bionetics.org/ Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center Awaji Island, Hyogo, Japan, Nov 25-28, 2008 *** Technically co-sponsored by IEEE COMSOC, IEEE CIS, and IEEE SMC (planned) *** In co-operation with ACM SIGSIM and SIGCAS Jointly sponsored by CREATE-NET, ICST *** Extended submission deadline: July 15, 2008 *** ***************************************************************** Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet scale down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. The fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems, capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical solutions which have similar high stability and efficiency as biological entities often have. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the following areas including but not limited to the these topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools: - Mathematical models of biological processes - Cellular signaling pathways - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties - Nano-scale and molecular communication b) Bio-inspired algorithms and mechanisms - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Self-organizing network paradigms - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms c) Bio-inspired technical systems: - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies - Self-learning defense strategies d) Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT): - Network algorithms and protocols - Autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols - Adaptive and self-healing network architectures - In-network processing and autonomic networking - Adaptive sensor and actor networks - Topology control and network organization - Localization and synchronization - Mobility models - Multi-agent systems and robotics - Novel applications and services - Network and information security - Experimental studies Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages or short papers of up to 4 pages in ACM conference proceedings format.
