-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: EURAIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networks: Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments Datum: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:26:41 -0400 Von: Weidong Xiang <xwd(a)umd.umich.edu> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br CALL FOR PAPERS EURASIP JOURNAL ON WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS RECENT PROGRESSES IN WIRELESS ACCESS IN VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT (WAVE) AND FUTURE VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS: THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION Wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) technology comes into sight as a state-of-the-art solution to contemporary vehicular communications, which is anticipated to be widely applied in the near future to radically improve the transportation environment in the aspects of safety, intelligent management and data exchange services. WAVE systems will fundamentally smooth the progress of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by providing it with high performance physical platforms. WAVE systems will build upon the IEEE 802.11p standard, which is still active and expected to be ratified in April, 2009. Meanwhile, the VHF/UHF (700MHz) band vehicular communications systems are attracting increasingly attention recently. The fast varying and harsh vehicular environment bring about several fresh research topics on the study of WAVE systems and future vehicular communications systems, which include physical layer challenges associated with mobile channels, capacity evaluation, novel network configuration, effective media access control (MAC) protocols, and robust routing and congestion control schemes. The objective of this special section is to gather and circulate recent progresses in this fast developing area of WAVE and future vehicular communications systems spanning from theoretical analysis to testbed setup, and from physical/MAC layers’ enabling technology to network protocol. These research and implementation activities will be considerably helpful to the design of WAVE and future vehicular communications systems by removing major technical barriers and presenting theoretical guidance. This special issue will cover, but not limit to, the following main topics: · 700MHz/5.8GHz vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)/vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) single-input single-output (SISO)/MIMO channel measurement and modeling, channel spatial and temporal characteristics exploration; · Doppler shift study, evaluation and estimate, time and frequency synchronizations, channel estimate and prediction; · Utilization of MIMO, space-time coding, smart antenna, adaptive modulation and coding; · Performance study and capacity analysis of V2V and V2I communications operating over both 5.8GHz and 700Mz; · Software radio, cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access technologies applied to WAVE and future vehicular communications systems; · Mesh network and other novel network configurations for vehicular networks; · Efficient MAC protocols development; · Routing algorithms and congestion control schemes for both real-time traffic warning message broadcasting and high-speed data exchange; · Cross-layer design and optimization; · Testbed or prototype activities. * * *Submission:* We only accept relevant original drafts in a PFD format that are not at present under review by other journals.

This growth concerns network architecture issues (operator-centric versus autonomous networks), access technologies (UMTS, WiFi, WiMax, ADSL, FTTH, etc.), and core network operation (IPv6, IMS, etc.). When a new technology appears, one question often remains unsolved: which services may be developed with this technology? This question raises several other issues: how are existing services impacted by this technology? Which new features are enabled by this technology? Is the technology appropriate to guarantee end-to-end quality of service? What is the evolution path between current network implementations and an implementation using this new technology? Is it possible to interconnect different technologies? How is security ensured if this new technology is implemented? The theme for the EUNICE 2008 summer school "Which networks for which services?" has been proposed to promote fruitful exchanges between academic institutions and Industry, who are equally concerned with the above issues. The Eunice Summer School is open to researchers from any institution, and we cordially invite all researchers to contribute with original submissions. Users and usage * User characterization and profiling * User-centric services * Quality of Experience * Social impact of services Services and Applications * Anonymity and privacy * Mobile services * Location and context-based services * Nomadic communications * Ubiquitous computing * Service architectures in future networks * End-to-End Quality of Service Networks and Infrastructures * Core networks * Radio access networks * Heterogeneous access networks * Ad-hoc and sensor networks Architectures and Protocols * Core and edge node architectures * Security protocols * Access control and Intrusion Detection * 3G and beyond 3G architectures * Cross-layer optimisation Theoretical and Formal Methods * Data fusion and Data mining * Formal methods for security * Protocol engineering * Network simulation * Performance PAPER SUBMISSION See instructions <http://conferences.telecom-bretagne.eu/eunice2008/instructions_to_authors/> http://conferences.telecom-bretagne.eu/eunice2008/instructions_to_authors/ IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline May 1, 2008 Notification of Acceptance June 15, 2008 Camera-Ready Paper due June 30, 2008 Early Registration Deadline June 30, 2008 Conference Sept 8-10, 2008 ABOUT EUNICE The EUNICE network ( <http://www.eunice-forum.org> http://www.eunice-forum.org) has been created to foster the mobility of students, faculty members and research scientists working in the field of information and communication technologies and to promote educational and research cooperation between its member institutions.

June 17th 2008 ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS WORKSHOP SCOPE: ================ As the world's population grows older, healthcare and high-tech companies are joining forces. New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the user's needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. THE GOAL of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The focus of this workshop will be understanding and discussing what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. This entails cross-disciplinary approaches where the systems and networking community, traditionally able to provide effective solutions that satisfy application requirements, will need to interact with experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. AREAS of INTEREST include, but are not limited to: * Enabling technologies * Service and device discovery * Security and privacy * Reliability and fault tolerance * User and device localization * Resource management architecture * User data management * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Mobility and connectivity management * Cross-layer system architecture design * Human-centered Computing * Task and behavior analysis * Impact of user interface design on system design and management * Test-beds and simulations environments * Health technologies for developing countries DEMO SESSION: ============= To provide a forum for discussion and interaction and to share experimental experience, HealthNet will also host a demonstration session. Extended abstracts describing demos will be published in the proceedings. Details on submission are available on the web page. IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission deadline: April 7, 2008 (5PM US EDT) Notification of acceptance: May 4, 2008 Camera ready version due: May 8, 2008 Workshop date: June 17, 2008 Demo submission and notification: Late April 2008 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: =============================== All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 6 pages, double-column, with a font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins.

[Fwd: [Cost290] CFP: Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks]
by Lars Wolf 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] CFP: Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks Datum: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:22:29 +0000 Von: Seán Murphy <sean.murphy(a)iname.com> An: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi CC: Raouf Boutaba <rboutaba(a)uwaterloo.ca>, Albert Banchs <banchs(a)it.uc3m.es> CALL FOR PAPERS Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks Multi-hop wireless networking is an area that is currently receiving much attention within both industry and academia. Over the last number of years significant energies have been focused on specific areas, notably ad hoc networking and sensor networking. More recently, multi-hop techniques are being viewed as an important component of next generation radio access networks, in which end user terminals may be multiple wireless hops from the wired infrastructure. Most of these multi-hop radio access deployments are characterized by intermediate nodes with limited mobility which differentiates these problems from those arising in an ad hoc domain. This approach provides a number of advantages over more typical single-hop wireless access solutions: firstly, it can provide increased coverage at low cost, which is very important in initial network rollout; secondly, it can support increased network capacity as the network matures; thirdly, such systems are typically much more flexible than previous variants with greater support for self-configuration and system adaptation, which leads to management and maintenance cost savings. However, realizing these benefits is highly non-trivial, requiring an excellent understanding of all aspects of a radio system. There are a number of interesting initiatives in this space. A number of standards are currently being defined – 802.11s, 802.16j to mention two. The new radio systems which will be developed under the ITU’s IMT-advanced initiative will have some multihop capabilities and there is also interest within the more traditional cellular community in relay architectures. Hence, work in this area can have a significant impact in a standardization context and it is well positioned to ultimately be adopted by the market. While considerable energy has been expended on some of these problems, many challenges remain. Contributions for this special issue are sought which focus on recent research results describing innovative solutions to problems in this domain. Topics of interest include – although are not limited to – the following: • Distributed channel management techniques • Novel MAC mechanisms for multihop contexts • Routing in 802.11 mesh networks • Use of multi-hop architectures in cellular systems (W-CDMA, CDMA2000) • Mesh and relay systems based on 802.11s and 802.16j • Mobility support in mesh and relay systems • Power control considerations for mesh and relay architectures • Network planning for relay based systems • Performance analysis of multi-hop networks • Self-configuration and management techniques • Results from trials, testbeds and real-world scenarios Submission Prospective authors are invited to prepare their papers according to the instructions laid out in the Instructions to Authors at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet. Manuscripts should be clearly organized, written in proper English and submitted via the web interface at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing the Article Type: MultiHop Wireless Acc.NW Important dates Manuscript Due 1 May 2008 Acceptance Notification 1 September 2008 Final Revised Manuscript Due 1 November 2008 Guest Editors Prof. Raouf Boutaba University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario, Canada rboutaba(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca Dr. Seán Murphy University College Dublin Dublin 4, Ireland sean.murphy(a)iname.com Prof. Albert Banchs University Carlos III Madrid 28911 Spain banchs(a)it.uc3m.es _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290

[Tccc] CFP: the 2nd Int. Workshop on Cooperative Wireless Communications and Networking, submission due extended
by Ming-Tuo Zhou 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

CFP: the 2nd Int. Workshop on Cooperative Wireless Communications and Networking (CONET 2008, London) Submission due extended: March 31 2008 [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ***************************************************************** The 2nd International Workshop on Cooperative Wireless Communications and Networking (CONET 2008), September 8th ~ 11th, 2008, London, UK http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/CONET08/index.html in conjunction with BROADNETS 2008. http://www.broadnets.org/2008/ SCOPE & Topics =============== Cooperative wireless communications and networking is emerging as a promising technology to enhance system performance by sharing resources among wireless nodes. With cooperation at all layers of the protocol stack, the wireless network can achieve higher throughput, higher system reliability, higher energy efficiency, lower bit-error rate, and smaller packet loss rate. A variety of research in recent years have actively focused on design, simulation, modeling, and applying cooperative communications in wireless ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks, etc. International standards organizations have been initialized various activities to apply cooperation mechanisms in the wireless LAN, PAN and MAN. For instance, the IEEE 802.16j working group is actively calling for contributions for relay metropolitan networks. The idea of cooperative wireless communications and networking can be tracked back to the work of the theoretic properties of relay channels. By sharing antennas in a multi-user environment, single-antenna wireless devices enable a virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system that allows them to achieve transmit diversity, and hence obtain advantages of MIMO with reduced size, cost, and complexity of the hardware/software. Upon cooperation at physical, MAC, network, and application layer, various cooperative signaling methods are widely explored and many new mechanisms are under development with respects to routing, medium access, location management, scheduling, energy management, and so on. This workshop intends to bring together researchers, engineers, and students to present new results, describe work in progress, and explore relationships among their diverse approaches. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Cooperative diversity * Virtual MIMO * Channel capacity * Cooperative channel coding * Cognitive radio networks * Cooperating services * Grid computing * Middleware * Performance analysis, simulation and experiment * Services, applications and systems * Testbed, prototype, practical system and case studies * Resource management * Mobility management * Energy management * Security management * Cross-layer cooperation and optimization * Cooperative and distributed relaying * Relay networking * Regenerative cooperative systems * Protocols for relay and multi-hop channels * Distributed relay-assignment algorithm * Routing, packet forwarding, multicast * Cooperative scheduling * Cooperative MAC protocol * Power control * Network Coding * Security architecture and mechanisms * Services/applications over cooperative wireless networks * QoS provisioning * Topology control * Synchronization * Cooperative schemes in Wireless PAN, LAN, MAN * Cooperative schemes in B3G, 4G System * Cooperation in ad hoc networks * Cooperation in wireless mesh networks * Cooperation in wireless sensor networks * peer-to-peer networks * Cooperative schemes in IEEE 802.x families, e.g. 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20 Publication of Proceedings: =========================== CONET 2008 accepted and registered paper will be published in the BROADNET 2008 proceedings and available through IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates: ================ Extended submission due: 31 March 2008 Acceptance notification: 15 May 2008 Camera-ready due: 30 May 2008 Conference date: 8-11 September 2008 Workshop Committee: ================== General Co-Chairs Yan Zhang, Simula Research Laboratory, Norway Geir Oien, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway Technical Program Co-Chairs Kun Yang, University of Essex, UK Fleury Bernard, Aalborg University, Denmark Publicity Co-Chairs Hassnaa Moustafa, France Telecom R&D (Orange Labs), France Ming-Tuo Zhou, NICT (Japan) Singapore Office _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: ACCESSNETS 2008
by Jun Zheng 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * ACCESSNETS 2008 * * Third International Conference on Access Networks * * October 15-17, 2008, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA * * http://www.accessnets.org * * * ************************************************************** ----- Paper submission deadline: April 1, 2008 ----- OVERVIEW: With the rapid growth of the Internet as well as the increasing demand for broadband services, access networks have been receiving growing investments in recent years. This has led to a massive network deployment with the goal of eliminating the bandwidth bottleneck between end-users and the network core. Today many diverse technologies are being used to provide broadband access to end users. The architecture and performance of the access segment (local loop, wired and wireless access networks, and even home networks) are getting increasing attention for ensuring quality of service of diverse broadband applications. Moreover, most access lines will no longer terminate on a single device, thus leading to the necessity of having a home network designed for applications that transcend simple Internet access sharing among multiple personal computers and enable multimedia support. Therefore, the access network and its home portion have become a hot investment pool from both a financial as well as a research perspective. The aim of the annual International Conference on Access Networks (AccessNets) is to provide a forum that brings together scientists and researchers from academia as well as managers and engineers from the industry and government organizations to meet and exchange ideas and recent work on all aspects of access networks and how they integrate with their in-home counterparts. AccessNets'08 is the third edition of this exciting event, which will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on Oct. 15-17 2008. The conference will consist of technical sessions, workshops, and panels. The technical sessions will present original and fundamental research advances while the workshops and panels will focus on development, application, and related business issues in this hot and exciting area. TOPICS: The conference solicits original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * FTTx and PON technologies * xDSL technology and DSM * Hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) technology * Cable-based access technology * Powerline communication technology * Digital satellite access technology * WiFi and WiMax networks * Wireless mesh networks * Integrated wired/wireless networks * Long reach Ethernet * Home networks * Networked appliances * Hybrid wired/wireless LANs * Municipal and community networks * Network architectures and protocols * Medium access control * Cross-layer design * OFDM, OFDMA, CDMA techniques * MIMO techniques * Service convergence * Quality of service provisioning * Network scalability and upgradeability * Network survivability and security * Deployment/standardization statuses PAPER SUBMISSION: Please visit the conference website (http://www.accessnets.org) for detailed instructions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS MeshTech 2008 Second IEEE International Workshop on Enabling Technologies and Standards for Wireless Mesh Networking http://www.ing.unipi.it/meshtech08 co-located with IEEE MASS 2008 sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE TC on Distributed Processing, IEEE TC on Simulation, and IEEE TC on Computer Communication September 29, 2008 Atlanta, GA, USA Wireless mesh networks are emerging as a key technology for next generation wireless networking. A wireless mesh network is characterized by dynamic self - organization, self-configuration and self-healing, which allow it for easy and fast, highly scalable, reliable and cost- effective network deployment under very diverse environments, and provision of better coverage and capacity to stationary and mobile users. Because of this, wireless mesh networks have not only become a hot topic in the research community, but are also experiencing a very fast deployment in many today's environments, such as public city-wide broadband WiFi networks, rural networks, private neighbourhood communities, or private business networks that are characterized by frequent topology changes, cabling troubles, or hard environmental conditions. Triggered by these fast advances in both research and industry communities, several standardization bodies have started working on specifying recognized protocols and architectures for interoperable WMNs, including both the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN standards committee (inside the IEEE 802.16/WiMAX, the IEEE 802.11s, the IEEE 802. and the IEEE 802.15.5 Working Groups) and the IETF in the context of wireless access and mobility support in Next Generation Internet (inside, e.g., the MIPSHOP, NETLMM and MANET Working Groups). However, it is still to be fully understood what technological challenges these standardization efforts have to face, how they will evolve, and what application scenarios will be able to drive their possible success. Building on the success of the last year event, MeshTech 2008 aims at bringing together again practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to discuss the recent advances and future evolution of next generation mobile mesh/multi-hop relay networking technologies and standards. Within the scope of wireless mesh networks, topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Routing protocols - Medium access control protocols - Quality of Service and fairness provisioning - Mesh networks configuration and management - Topology discovery, association and control - Mesh networks measurement - Mobility management - Interworking in heterogeneous wireless mesh networks - Coexistence with existing wireless infrastructures - Security architectures, functions and protocols - Performance evaluation - Comparative study of competing solutions - Cross-layer design and optimization - Advanced antenna technologies - Cognitive and frequency-agile radios - Fault tolerance, anomaly detection and error recovery schemes PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically to EDAS by May 10, 2008, 11:59pm EDT. You can find detailed submission instructions at http://www.ing.unipi.it/meshtech08/submission.html. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper.
