[Tccc] CFP - Communications Magazine - Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications
by Chin, Woon Hau 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Call for Papers Submission Deadline - 15 June 2008 IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications In wireless networks, relays have been traditionally used to extend the range of communication systems. However, in recent years, other applications of relay communications have emerged. One such emerging application is to assist in the communication between the source and destination via some cooperation protocol. By controlling medium access between source and relays coupled with the appropriate modulation or coding in such cooperative schemes, it has been found that the diversity of the system can be improved. In multi-user systems, different users can also act as cooperative partners or relays to share resources and assist each other in information transmission, thereby creating a cooperative network. One other emerging application is the exchange of information between multiple users through relay(s). In such cases, by exploiting the knowledge of one's own transmitted signal, the throughput of these systems can be drastically increased. For cooperative and relay communications, the MAC layer also has many unique features. The MAC in this case, is concerned with more than one hop communication, is distributed and cooperative and works for multipoint-to-multipoint communication. The MAC also needs to have knowledge about network topology and account for node mobility. Accordingly, a new design of the MAC layer has to be devised to include new functionalities as well as MAC layer routing. With the large benefits to be reaped from employing cooperative and relay techniques, several standardization groups, such as IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.11, have started standardization processes to include such technologies into their prevailing standards. These efforts will no doubt attract even more interests from the academia and industry, advancing cooperative and relay technologies even further in the coming years. With interests from both the research and industrial communities gaining momentum, there is an urgent need to better understand as well as to keep track of cutting edge research in cooperative and relay communications. 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 cooperative and relay communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following topics: . Cooperative algorithms and protocols . Partner(s) selection in cooperative relay and routing . Cooperative resource allocation and management . Relay strategies for cooperative communications . Cooperative and relay technologies applied to WLAN, WMAN and cellular networks . Multidirectional relaying . Distributed coding and modulation . Multiple antenna systems and protocols for cooperative communications . Information theoretic aspects of cooperative communications . MAC issues and MAC layer routing . Cross-layer approaches for joint PHY and MAC optimization Schedule: Full manuscript due: June 15, 2008 Acceptance notification: October 1, 2008 Final manuscript due: December 1, 2008 Publication date: February 2009 Submission: Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.

I apologize for multiple copies. --------------------------------------------------------- Internet Network Management Workshop 2008 October 19, 2008 - Orlando, Florida http://www.cs.rice.edu/~eugeneng/inm08/index.html Co-located with ICNP 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Abstract Submission: July 14, 2008 (5:00pm EDT) - Extended Paper Submission: July 14, 2008 (5:00pm EDT) - Extended Acceptance Notification: August 6, 2008 Camera Ready Due: September 5, 2008 Workshop: October 19, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- In many ways, computer network management remains the least understood aspect of computer networking. There is a lack of well-established principles for guiding the design of networks for manageability. There is also a lack of scientific theories for analyzing the state of a network and for the evolution of network state. The Internet Network Management (INM) workshop provides an opportunity to elevate participants' collective experience with IP networks into ideas, principles, and theories that can be leveraged in today's networks, or can be carried forward into the clean-slate design of future networks that intrinsically support management, rather than treating management as a bolted-on afterthought. The INM workshop seeks original and thought provoking ideas, case studies, experimental results, position papers, and clean-slate designs. Submissions concerning special-purpose networks, such as VoIP, content distribution, or mobile wireless networks are welcome. The workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of experience and work-in-progress discussions. Topics of Interest: * new abstractions for network configuration management * new control plane architectures * data plane mechanisms to support management * autonomous network management systems with predictive/proactive behaviors * ensuring stability and coherent behavior in distributed and/or autonomous systems * management of backbone, access, enterprise and home networks and network-based applications * techniques and experiments for evaluating network management architectures * experimental platforms that support network management research * comparisons between IP network management and ATM, SONET, or telephony management * defining and enforcing network borders * automatic and adaptive control of networks * cross-layer interactions, including IP/optical or applications/IP * hitless planned maintenance * fault and performance management Sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society IEEE Communications Society ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues

Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this message. You are welcome to forward this CFP to your friends and colleagues working in the field. Kind regards, Thomas Watteyne. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SWiN 2008 First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks 12 October, 2008, Avignon, France http://ieee.org/go/swin2008/ in conjunction with IEEE WiMob 2008 **Full Papers due: June 14, 2008** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS (pdf version: http://ewh.ieee.org/conf/swin/2008/cfp_swin08.pdf) The First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks (SWiN 2008) will be held in conjunction with the fourth IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2008) in Avignon, France, on October 12th, 2008. The main focus of this workshop is on simulation of wireless multi-hop networks. The SWiN workshop is devoted to the topic of wireless multi-hop network simulators. An efficient and accurate simulation of these networks raises various issues which generally need to be addressed from several research domains simultaneously. As examples, we can consider the wireless physical layer modeling and simulation, the support of large scale networks, the simulation of complex R/F systems such as MIMO ones, the emulation of wireless nodes, etc. In particular but not exclusively, the Program Committee will be seeking high quality papers on the following aspects of wireless network simulation: - Radio medium modeling & simulation; - Scalability, large scale networks support; - Validation of simulators and simulation results; - Simulators benchmarking and comparisons; - Support of advanced R/F systems (MIMO, smart-antenna); - Support of distributed physical layer schemes (distributed signal processing, cooperative schemes); - Wireless node simulation or emulation; - Interoperability of simulators, emulators and experiments; - Distributed simulation; - Implementation of simulators. This workshop will be an opportunity to present the current works in these domains as well as to foster discussion and cooperation among researchers coming from the fields of simulation, radio medium modeling, ad hoc networking and wireless sensor networking. It will also be the occasion for people directly involved in the development and implementation of simulators to meet and confront their work with the models, applications and requests coming from the research communities that effectively use the simulators. In addition to contributed talks, the workshop program will include two tutorials on wireless physical layer modeling and wireless network simulators. SWiN 2008 will be held in Avignon, in the "Provence" part of Southern France. Avignon is known for its "Palais des Papes" (Palace of the Popes), where the Popes lived for much of the 14th century. With Avignon being one of the most charming places on earth, we expect this to be a truly special workshop. --------------- Important Dates --------------- - Paper submission due: June 14, 2008 - Paper acceptance notification: July 16, 2008 - Final manuscript due: August 14, 2008 - Registration and full payment due: August 20, 2008 ----------------------- Submission Instructions & Reviewing Policy ----------------------- All papers will be included in the main conference proceedings and published by the IEEE.

CfP PIK Themenheft Energiebewusste Systeme
by Falko Dressler 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

CALL FOR PAPERS Themenheft "Energiebewusste Systeme" Praxis der Informationsverarbeitung und Kommunikation (PIK) Fachzeitschrift für den Einsatz von Informationssystemen Energie ist eine kritische, manchmal sogar die kritischste Ressource bei vielen modernen Rechensystemen und deren Anwendungen vom Sensornetz, über das Mobiltelefon bis hin zu Laptops und Servern. Somit stellt dieses Arbeitsgebiet einen wichtigen Bereich der aktuellen Forschung im Bereich Systemsoftware (Betriebs- und Kommunikationssysteme) dar. Insbesondere entstehen, getrieben durch immer kleinere und mobilere Endgeräte, neue Anwendungsszenarien mit hohen Anforderungen an Verfügbarkeit, Langlebigkeit, Adaptivität und Selbstorganisation. Im Rahmen des GI/ITG KuVS Fachgesprächs "Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden" wurde eine Reihe von Forschungsgebieten erarbeitet, die einen wesentlichen methodischen Beitrag zu neuartigen energiebewussten Systemen leisten können. Betriebssysteme: Einzig das Betriebssystem kennt alle strukturellen Eigenschaften der darunter liegenden Hardware wie auch der laufenden Anwendungen. Somit kann es dabei die Hardwarekomponenten in den jeweils für das Gesamtsystem optimalen Betriebsmodus versetzen und die Verweildauer in den jeweiligen Betriebsmodi durch eine energiebewusste Aktivitätensteuerung beeinflussen. Drahtlose Netze: Funkübertragung ist im Vergleich zu Berechnungen oft wesentlich teurer in Bezug auf die benötigt Energie. Durch optimierte Technologien für die zuverlässige Übertragung, Vorverarbeitung und Zwischenspeicherung kann die Sende- und Empfangszeit verringert werden. Neue Kommunikationsparadigmen helfen den Aufwand für die Statusverwaltung zu minimieren. Kommunikationsprotokolle: Aufbauend auf den spezifischen Eigenschaften und Funktionen der verfügbaren Übertragungstechniken, lassen sich Kommunikationsprotokolle für energiebewusstes Arbeiten anpassen. Sogenanntes Cross-Layer-Design hilft, Verzerrungs- und Störeffekte zwischen den Protokollen der Sicherungs-, Netzwerk- und Transportschicht zu vermeiden bzw. zu minimieren. Middleware: Mit der zunehmenden Vernetzung mobiler und eingebetteter Systeme ist das energiebewusste Arbeiten von Basisfunktionalität sogenannter Middleware-Dienste, wie Kommunikation und Vermittlung, unabdingbar. Insbesondere kann auf dieser Schicht nicht isoliert gearbeitet werden. Unter dem thematischen Schwerpunkt energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden sind Beiträge zu allen relevanten Themengebieten erwünscht. Dazu gehören unter anderem aber nicht ausschließlich: - Betriebssystemunterstützung - Kommunikationsmethoden - Protokollentwurf - Simulationstechniken - Schichtenübergreifender Entwurf - Beobachtung des Laufzeitverhaltens realer Systeme Eingereichte Manuskripte sollten ca. 6 gedruckten Seiten entsprechen (eine Seite in der PIK entspricht ca. 6000 Zeichen ohne Abbildungen). Sowohl Deutsche als auch Englische Beiträge sind erwünscht. Alle eingereichten Manuskripte werden von unabhängigen Gutachtern bewertet. Einreichung der Manuskripte bitte per Email an einen der Herausgeber des Themenheftes. - Frist für die Einreichung: 1.11.2008 - Benachrichtigung: 1.1.2009 - Einreichung der druckfertigen Version: 1.2.2009 Herausgeber des Themenheftes: - Falko Dressler, Universität Erlangen (dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de) - Frank Bellosa, TH Karlsruhe (bellosa(a)ira.uka.de) -- Dr.-Ing.

[Tccc] Autonomics 2008: Deadline extended!
by Antonio Di Ferdinando 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Deadline for autonomics 2008 extended, please see below. ***** AUTONOMICS 2008 ***** 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics.eu/ September 23-25, 2008, Turin, Italy In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The Autonomics conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics 2008 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. _________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: June 8, 2008 Notification of acceptance: July 10, 2008 Final version due: August 15, 2008 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through Easychair <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=autonomics2008>. The proceedings will be an ICST publication and the papers will be listed in the ACM digital library and indexed by EI. _________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: A.

[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Ubiquitous Wireless Mesh Networks, International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS), Wiley
by Mieso Denko 08 Jun '08

08 Jun '08

--------------------------------------------------------- Apologies if you received multiple copies of this posting. --------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special issue on: Ubiquitous Wireless Mesh Networks International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS), Wiley, indexed by SCIE http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117946196/grouphome?CRETRY=1&SRE… Wireless mesh networks are becoming promising communication technologies for broadband wireless access by providing wireless backbone to mobile devices over multi-hop wireless communication systems. This emerging technology has a great potential for ubiquitous wireless network access anywhere and anytime. A number of wireless networking and communication technologies that support ubiquitous wireless services and applications are currently in wide spread use. Wi-Fi and WiMax based wireless mesh networks are examples of such technologies currently under deployment, fostering broadband wireless network access and supporting different communication ranges. While these technologies provide flexible communication compared to wired networks and single hop communication models, they are still restricted to the existing wireless backbone coverage. The convergence of ubiquitous computing and networking with wireless and mobile networking technologies opens a path to a prom! ising opportunity for ubiquitous wireless mesh networks and services. Indeed, this provides a great potential for enabling ubiquitous wireless network access in the next generation mobile networks. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of networks, devices, and services, ubiquitous multi-hop wireless access technology introduces new research challenges in all areas of network protocol stack, including security, interoperability and performance challenges. The aim of this special issue is to publish state-of-the-art research results in the area of ubiquitous wireless mesh networks, with focus on innovative architectures, networking protocols, communication models, services and applications. Manuscripts relating to these issues will be invited from researchers working in these areas worldwide.

[Tccc] CfP IEEE JSAC SI on Bio-inspired Networking
by Falko Dressler 08 Jun '08

08 Jun '08

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) BIO-INSPIRED NETWORKING Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of massively networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet 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 distributed and unsupervised way. Recently, a number of approaches inspired by biological mechanisms and phenomena have been proposed as a strategy to handle the complexity of massively distributed systems such as the Internet, or wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The goal of bio-inspired approaches is to discover and to adapt biological methods to technical solutions that are showing similarly high stability, adaptability, and scalability as biological entities often have. This special issue intends to highlight the latest achievements in the new research domain of bio-inspired networking. In particular, the issue focuses on methodologies for identifying relevant biological mechanisms, the modeling of these mechanisms, and their application to technical solutions. Prospective articles are expected to outline either proof of concept studies with direct comparison to classical technical solutions, or theoretical mathematical models of biological principles associated with fundamental challenges in communication systems. For this special issue, we consider all techniques with direct biological background including animal learning strategies, self-organizing methods as observed from swarms down to nano-structures that are observed and analyzed in molecular biology. Classical complex systems research is explicitly excluded from the scope whereas a comparison to well-known techniques in this domain is appreciated. This special issue is dedicated to bio-inspired approaches addressing various aspects of networking and communication systems. The topics of interest include the following domains: • Self-organizing communication systems • Evolutionary and adaptive systems and protocols • Scalable systems and protocols • Self-learning algorithms • Self-healing systems and protocols • Security mechanisms • Network algorithms and protocols • Scalable and adaptive network architectures • Congestion control mechanisms • Performance evaluation of bio-inspired networks Original unpublished contributions, and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to IEEE-JSAC guidelines. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via email to dressler(a)ieee.org according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: March 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2009 Final Manuscript due to Pub: December 1, 2009 Publication: 2nd quarter 2010 Guest Editors • Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany (dressler(a)ieee.org) • Tatsuya Suda, University of California, Irvine, USA (suda(a)ics.uci.edu) • Iacopo Carreras, Create-Net, Italy (iacopo.carreras(a)create-net.org) • Masayuki Murata, Osaka University, Japan (murata(a)ist.osaka-u.ac.jp) • Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK (Jon.Crowcroft(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) -- Dr.-Ing.

Our apologies if you have received multiple copies. The 2nd IEEE international Workshop on Heterogeneous Wireless Networks Resource Management and QoS. in conjunction with The 4th IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2008). Avignon, France on 12-14 Oct 2008. http://www.rn.inf.tu-dresden.de/hwn/2008/index.html submission: 14 June 2008 Scope ------ The fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications is expected to integrate a potentially large number of different heterogeneous wireless technologies in what could be considered a huge step forward towards universal wireless access and omnipresent computing through seamless mobility. Even though 4G standard is currently not defined, there are many current outlooks that delineate the vision of the new wireless technologies. Based on the emergent trends of mobile communication, 4G will have larger bandwidth, higher data rates, smoother and quicker handoff and will focus on guaranteeing faultless service and seamless handoff across a multitude of wireless networks. The key concept is integrating the 4G capabilities with all of the existing mobile technologies. Special maneuvers will be necessary amongst different access systems in terms of horizontal (intrasystem) and vertical (inter-system) handoff as well as seamless mobility, Quality of Service (QoS), dependability and security. In this workshop, we solicit high quality papers from leading researchers that present state-of-the-art research in heterogeneous wireless networks dealing with resource management techniques and QoS provisioning. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: # Interworking with 2.5G, 3G, and other wireless networks # QoS provisioning for heterogeneous wireless networks # End-to-End QoS Architectures # Location, Mobility and Handoff Management # Seamless vertical handoff techniques between different wireless networks # Network selection criteria # Resource management/allocation # Bandwidth adaptation # Power control and management # Load, admission, and flow control # Architecture design alternatives for heterogeneous wireless networks # Performance analysis and experimentation of heterogeneous wirelessnetworks # Pricing and billing issues # Security techniques and methods for heterogeneous wireless networks # Heterogeneous wireless networks applications and measurements # Simulation study of heterogeneous wireless networks # Scalability of heterogeneous wireless networks # Implementation and testbed experiments # Standardization activities for heterogeneous wireless networks # Heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks Paper Submission ---------------- Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Communications Magazine - Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications Datum: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 13:54:05 +0800 Von: Chin, Woon Hau <w.h.chin(a)ieee.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Submission Deadline - 15 June 2008 IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Advances in Cooperative and Relay Communications In wireless networks, relays have been traditionally used to extend the range of communication systems. However, in recent years, other applications of relay communications have emerged. One such emerging application is to assist in the communication between the source and destination via some cooperation protocol. By controlling medium access between source and relays coupled with the appropriate modulation or coding in such cooperative schemes, it has been found that the diversity of the system can be improved. In multi-user systems, different users can also act as cooperative partners or relays to share resources and assist each other in information transmission, thereby creating a cooperative network. One other emerging application is the exchange of information between multiple users through relay(s). In such cases, by exploiting the knowledge of one's own transmitted signal, the throughput of these systems can be drastically increased. For cooperative and relay communications, the MAC layer also has many unique features. The MAC in this case, is concerned with more than one hop communication, is distributed and cooperative and works for multipoint-to-multipoint communication. The MAC also needs to have knowledge about network topology and account for node mobility. Accordingly, a new design of the MAC layer has to be devised to include new functionalities as well as MAC layer routing. With the large benefits to be reaped from employing cooperative and relay techniques, several standardization groups, such as IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802.11, have started standardization processes to include such technologies into their prevailing standards. These efforts will no doubt attract even more interests from the academia and industry, advancing cooperative and relay technologies even further in the coming years. With interests from both the research and industrial communities gaining momentum, there is an urgent need to better understand as well as to keep track of cutting edge research in cooperative and relay communications. 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 cooperative and relay communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following topics: . Cooperative algorithms and protocols . Partner(s) selection in cooperative relay and routing . Cooperative resource allocation and management . Relay strategies for cooperative communications . Cooperative and relay technologies applied to WLAN, WMAN and cellular networks . Multidirectional relaying . Distributed coding and modulation . Multiple antenna systems and protocols for cooperative communications . Information theoretic aspects of cooperative communications . MAC issues and MAC layer routing . Cross-layer approaches for joint PHY and MAC optimization Schedule: Full manuscript due: June 15, 2008 Acceptance notification: October 1, 2008 Final manuscript due: December 1, 2008 Publication date: February 2009 Submission: Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.
