[Tccc] Extended CFP - Workshop on Improved Mobile User Experience IMUx @ Pervasive 2008 - Extended Deadline: February 8th
by Petteri Nurmi 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

[Apologies for Cross-Posting] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMUx 2008 - CALL FOR PAPERS The Second International Workshop on Improved Mobile User Experience (IMUx 2008) http://www.hiit.fi/events/imux2008 in conjunction with the 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing (Pervasive 2008), 19-22 May 2008, Sydney, Australia http://pervasive2008.org/ Extended Submission Deadline: 8 February 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THEME Current interfaces of mobile devices are rather limited when adaptability, context-awareness and proactiveness are considered. For example, they do not utilize the context of the interaction, nor the environmental changes in the user's proximity or the capabilities of the device itself. This context can include information about the situation and the user preferences, longer or shorter time usage histories, etc. To improve usability and to provide a better user experience, the interfaces of the devices should become more intelligent and require less intentional user inputs. In order to achieve this goal, novel interaction methods need to be developed and combined with statistical models of the user that capture, for example, her behavior, personal preferences and goals. Furthermore, the developed solutions need to be evaluated via extensive user tests to guarantee they are valuable to the users. To improve the dialogue between the different research areas and their practitioners, the workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the fields of user modeling, user interaction and user experience, with developers of mobile and ubiquitous applications. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to provide a common forum for exchanging ideas between these domains. The workshop welcomes two kinds of paper submissions: research papers and position papers. Also videos and demonstrations can be submitted. The research papers should present original research related to one or more of the following areas: * user interaction in mobile environments, * ubiquitous user modeling, and * mobile user experience. The position papers should address challenges in combining the above-mentioned areas, and beyond, for an improved mobile user experience, and propose approaches for overcoming these challenges. We encourage authors to take a visionary view and a critical stand towards current practices and trends. Example topics for the research and position papers include, but are not limited to, * adaptive context-aware user interfaces, * mobile computing applications with adaptation, * considerate computing, * context-aware information retrieval, * embedded solutions for machine learning, * large scale data gathering and its challenges, * large scale user studies, * minimal/implicit/reduced user interaction, * mixed-initiative interaction. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline: 8 February 2008 at 23:59 EST. Notification: 29 February 2008. Day of workshop: 19 May 2008 or 22 May 2008 (pending the Pervasive conference organizer's decision) SUBMISSIONS The manuscripts should be prepared according to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science guidelines. The maximum length of submissions is 10 pages for research papers and 6 pages for videos and demonstrations. Papers should be submitted by email to the address imux2008(a)hiit.fi by 8th of February 2008 at 23:59 EST. Each paper will be sent for review to three members of the program committee or organizing committee.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final CfP: ACM SIGMOBILE MobilityModels'08 at MobiHoc'08 Datum: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:43:50 -0500 Von: Mirco Musolesi <musolesi(a)cs.dartmouth.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP. ---------------------- MobilityModels'08 First ACM SIGMOBILE International Workshop on Mobility Models for Networking Research Colocated with ACM SIGMOBILE MobiHoc'08 Hong Kong 26 May 2008 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/mobilitymodels08/ *Scope of the Workshop* One of the key issues in the evaluation of algorithms, protocols and systems for mobile networks is modeling node mobility. Different types of models have been proposed in the last decade, from those founded on purely synthetic movements, such as the ones based on purely random movements of the nodes to the ones based aiming at reproducing the mobility patterns inside specific places like campuses or cities. In addition, efforts to collect real traces of people movement have been made and traces have been made available and used in simulators. Despite these efforts, the problem of understanding and modeling mobility, and, more specifically, human mobility remains of great interest for the mobile ad hoc networks community, as many questions are still unanswered and evaluation methodologies still unsatisfactory. New insights and more refined and realistic models are still needed, bringing together real world measurements and mathematical characterization of node mobility. These problems are of interest to anyone working on mobile networking, as these models are often at the basis of the performance evaluation, comparison, and validation of new approaches and solutions. We solicit the papers on mobility models for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on mobility characterizations based on real traces are also welcomed. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working or interested in mobility modeling and characterizations. We wish to build a lively forum to propose and discuss recent advances in mobility modeling both from theoretical and practical point of views. The workshop will be opened to contributions from researchers tackling the research problems in this area from different perspectives, with the aim of discussing the many open issues in movement modeling trying to identify novel solutions to be investigated also by means of collaborations among the participants of the workshop. We will welcome especially highly innovative and/or controversial contributions, debunking existing results or confirming existing models by means of new experimental results. Papers providing key mathematical insights on open mobility modeling issues will also be highly appreciated. We invite to submit papers in the following areas: * Design, implementation and evaluation of synthetic and trace-based mobility models * Validation of synthetic models using real world traces * Mathematical characterization of human mobility * Analysis and characterization of dynamic network topologies * Mobility and connectivity modeling * Influence of mobility on radio characterization * Complex networks models for mobility modeling * Human mobility and social networks * Impact of mobility modeling on algorithms, protocols and systems performance * Network measurements and mobility characterization * Simulation tools and testbed for mobility simulation * Systems testing based on real world mobility traces * Mobility traces collection and data archive, including privacy issues * Mobility characterizations of real traces *Submission Format* Page length is up to 8 pages (10pt ACM format). The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. Papers should not be anonymized. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF through EDAS. Instructions are available in the workshop Website. *Important dates* Submission deadline: 18 February 2008 Notification to the authors: 18 March 2008 Camera ready version deadline: 24 March 2008 Workshop date: 26 May 2008 *Organization* Workshop Program Chairs Minkyong Kim (IBM Watson, USA) Cecilia Mascolo (University of Cambridge, UK) Mirco Musolesi (Dartmouth College, USA) Workshop Program Committee Marcelo Dias de Amorim (LIP6/University Pierre et Marie Curie, France) Elizabeth M.

[Tccc] [CFP] Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Communications on "Adaptive Multicarrier Communications and Networks"
by Yan ZHANG 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Communications on "Adaptive Multicarrier Communications and Networks" http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom Scope ===== Authors are invited to submit detailed technical manuscripts reporting recent developments in the topics related to the special issue. Multicarrier communications is a very promising technique to deliver high data rate and combat delay spread over fading channel. OFDM-based multicarrier communications is used in the standards IEEE 802.11 WirelessLAN, IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN, and 3GPP-LTE Group 4G. Adaptability is an inherent advantage of multicarrier communication systems. It can be either implemented in each layer in the protocol stack or realized through a cross-layer approach. The essential self-x attributes, i.e. self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, in enabling autonomic adaptability are in the early stage of research. In addition, there are a number of emerging technical, economical, and regulatory challenges when the multicarrier system is co-operating with unlicensed systems via a cognitive radio paradigm. This special issue is devoted to exploring how adaptive capability is employed from physical to network and application layers in multicarrier communications, networks, systems, and standards. Some suggested topics include but are not limited to: ======================================================= . Adaptive coding and modulation . Adaptive signal processing techniques . Multicarrier CDMA/OFDMA . Multiuser interference in cellular systems . Self-configuration, self-management, and self-healing . Autonomic architectures and protocols . Cognitive and adaptive systems . Security and privacy management . Resource, Mobility and QoS provisioning . Cross-layer optimization . MAC and Network layer management . Adaptive multimedia transmission . Cooperation/Game theory for multiuser communications . Network reliability, dependability, and survivability . Network modeling and performance analysis . Multicarrier communications in Broadband Wireless Access, e.g. Cellular and WiMAX . Testbed, experiment, implementation, and applications Submission Format: ===================== The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

CfP: 1st Workshop on Urban Networks and Applications (UNA ’08)
by Lars Wolf 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

1st Workshop on Urban Networks and Applications (UNA ’08) Lakeshore Hotel, Hsinchu, Taiwan, August 4-6, 2008 http://una.cs.ucc.ie held in conjunction with the 13th IEEE Asia-Pacific Computer Systems Architecture Conference http://www.ccrc.nthu.edu.tw/acsac2008 Urban settings are host of diverse networking technologies, from cellular and wired broadband to WiMAX, WiFi, Bluetooth and, more recently, mesh and sensor networks. While this rich environment offers opportunities for connectivity, inter-operability and sharing of services and resources, the co-existence of these heterogeneous technologies, competing for the same resources and offering similar services, poses difficult engineering and legal problems. For example, network planning is a major issue that can determine the effective use of each network and, when possible, inter-operability of the networks. Cities administrations are keen to deploy and take advantage of public service networks, whereas citizens are interested to use public or private services at home, at work or while driving or walking. Private initiatives may selectively focus on certain niche services. Overall, urban networks can increase the quality of life in cities and can make the distinction among cities. In achieving this goal, many technical challenges have to be tackled. This workshop will be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on new architectures, paradigms, concepts, service models and novel applications for urban networks. The topics for submission include but are not limited to: cognitive radio technologies congestion control micro- and pico-cell control architecture hybrid cell configuration sensor networks in urban settings personal area networks vehicular networks mesh networks mobile ad hoc networks networks planning networks inter-operability data mining of a large volume of data in urban networks database support for urban networks network and service discovery mobility supporting services context awareness mobile middleware ubiquitous and urban computing urban network systems and applications locative media and applications access, security and privacy in urban networks Submissions Both research and industry papers are solicited. Submitted papers should be original, unpublished work and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers reporting work in progress are welcome. Questions about the submission process should be directed to the workshop chair. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by members of the international program committee. Accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of ACSAC 2008, which is to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Papers are limited to 8 pages including figures and references and they must follow the IEEE 8.5"x11" two-column format guidelines described at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through https://www.softconf.com/starts/acsac2008/submit.html The publication of a paper requires at least one of the authors to register and be present at the conference. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected. Important dates Paper submissions due: March 20, 2008 Acceptance notification: April 30 2008 Final camera-ready due: May 10, 2008 Workshop Chair Dan Grigoras University College Cork, Ireland d.grigoras(a)cs.ucc.ie Workshop Publicity Chair Daniel Doolan University College Cork, Ireland d.doolan(a)cs.ucc.ie Program Committee Jemal Abawajy Deakin University, Australia Akira Arutaki NEC Communication Systems, Japan Antonio Capone Politecnico di Milano, Italy Valentin Cristea Politehnica University Bucharest, Romania Mario Gerla University of California, Los Angeles, USA Mads Haahr Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Diego López de Ipiña Deusto University, Spain Seung Jin Lim Utah State University, USA Chun-Yuan Lin Chang Gung University, Taiwan Alex Nicolau University of California, Irvine, USA Giovanni Pau University of California, Los Angeles, USA Gregor Schiele Mannheim University, Germany Cormac Sreenan University College Cork, Ireland Lars Wolf Technical University Braunschweig, Germany

28 Jan '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: MCN-Infocom'08 -- Abstract Submission Deadline Feb-7 Datum: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:08:18 -0500 Von: Mohamed Younis <younis(a)cs.umbc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: 'Silvia Giordano' <silvia.giordano(a)supsi.ch>, 'Moustafa Youssef' <moustafa.youssef(a)gmail.com> 2nd IEEE Workshop on Mission-Critical Networking (MCN'2008) http://www.criticalnet.org/ In conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM'2008 Phoenix, Arizona, April 13-18 "Mission-Critical Networking (MCN)" refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection, emergency and crisis intervention, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity and emergent behaviors. MCN should comprise the best possible networking technology, infrastructure and services that may alleviate the risk and help save the lives of both the general public and the network users. As advances in pervasive computing, wireless communication, ad hoc and mesh networking and networked sensor systems continue, more opportunities are being opened to mission-critical networks to benefit from these technologies. A primary challenge to the operations of mission-critical networks is to deploy a communication network that is dependable, autonomic, secure, and rapidly deployable. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of authorized and unauthorized entities, audio and video communication, secure emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, visual analytics, and service-oriented architecture. Another key feature for mission-critical networking is to support interactions among multiple heterogeneous networks. This workshop solicits high quality technical contributions to the area of mission-critical networking. The manuscript must explicitly address relevance to MCN. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: . Smart environments and infrastructures . Rapidly deployable services and networks . Vehicular networks . Body sensor networks . Cognitive and autonomic networks, protocols, and services . Ubiquitous networking and services . Security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and trade-offs . Sensor and actuator networks for information gathering and real-time control . Decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation . Trust management, security, interoperability, survivability and QoS support . Context-aware network and service management . Location determination and tracking . Energy efficiency . Admission, load and flow control . Visual analytics . Critical traffic and mobility analysis . Cross-layer design and optimization .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network Special Issue on Implications and Control of Middleboxes in the Internet Datum: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:51:54 +0100 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please feel free to forward this CFP to related colleagues and students for information. --------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline is due in 5 weeks! Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Implications and Control of Middleboxes in the Internet Important Dates =============== Manuscript Submission Due: March 1, 2008 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: July 15, 2008 Special Issue Publication Date: September/October 2008 Call for Papers =============== Network Address Translators (NAT) and IP firewalls have been introduced to the Internet some time ago, and over the time become an integral part of the Internet architecture. Moreover, there are also other types of middleboxes, such as Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateways, Application Layer Gateways (ALG), Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEP) and web proxies. These intermediary boxes perform functions different from normal IP packet treatment, which can even change the content of packets or do rerouting of IP packets. There have been diverse views on the value of middleboxes. Some believe that middleboxes introduce problems for network applications as well as challenges to the traditional end-to-end Internet architecture. These issues range, for instance, but not limited to, from naming and addressing of nodes behind NATs, directionality of communication establishment, and performance impairments. On the other hand, many administrators and operators see the middleboxes represent an important part for their network operations. For example, firewalls are widely deployed with the intention of securing enterprise, campus and home networks, so as to block attacks to nodes or keep nodes from sending malicious traffic. The Internet community has acknowledged the emergence of the middleboxes and developed middlebox control and coordination protocols that allow end hosts (or application proxies) to learn about the presence of middleboxes and communicate their needs (i.e. required packet treatment) to those devices. A number of middlebox control protocols, such as UPnP, MIDCOM and STUN, have been developed over the years and are partially used in current deployments. The papers in this special issue will focus on the state-of-the-art research in various aspects of middleboxes and middlebox control mechanisms, which help to understand their impact to the Internet architecture and network operations, and how they can be further integrated, or leveraged for different purposes, such as load balancing and mobile network environments, among the others. Specifically, within the aforementioned context in Internet middleboxes and their control mechanisms, the special issue will present tutorials, surveys and original research articles (written in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists) that cover the following subjects, but not limited to: * Middlebox-supported network architectures vs. other Internet evolution alternatives (e.g., IPv6) * Design and/or performance evaluation of middlebox software architectures * Control and coordination across middleboxes and their traversal mechanisms * Security, including authentication, authorization and accounting issues with middlebox control/traversal mechanisms * Scalability and performance studies of middlebox control/traversal mechanisms * Deployment scenarios and case studies (corporate, ISP, content providers, mobile environments etc.) based on middleboxes * Interaction and implications with other network protocols and components * Interaction and implications with end-to-end applications and services * Related standardization efforts Manuscript Submission ===================== With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html. Submitted papers must be original and must not be under current consideration for publication in other venues.

[KuVS ELG] Preliminary Call for Papers - P2P'08 - 8th Intern. Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing
by Klaus Wehrle 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

====================================================================== Preliminary Call for Papers -- P2P'08 8th International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing "Distributed Computing/Networking/Services at the Edge of the Internet" Aachen, Germany September 8-11, 2008 http://www.p2p08.org/ ====================================================================== SCOPE P2P'08 is the eighth conference in a series of annual conferences concerned with overlay network technologies and massively distributed systems & applications. Peer-to-Peer systems benefit from and share the resources owned by systems that are distributed around the Internet. Examples of such technologies include peer-to-peer applications and grids, and in general, any large-scale distributed system characterized by decentralization and sharing of resources. Recently, interesting applications of P2P technology have begun to emerge, together with new platforms for application development. We invite papers that reflect experience with practical applications of the current state of the art, or that explore new application areas. We are particularly interested in real, large-scale, deployed systems and applications, rather than small-scale examples composed of a few nodes. The key issues to be considered are scalability, robustness, and security; we believe that these aspects are fundamental issues that must be solved before Peer-to-Peer and Grid services will become mainstream. Consistent with the previous occurrences of this conference, we would like to promote collaboration in research among academic institutions, government organizations, and business enterprises that are concerned with the research and implementation of peer-to-peer networks, grids, and large scale distributed systems. TOPICS Topics that relate to Peer-to-Peer systems, Peer-to-Peer applications, Grid systems, large-scale distributed systems, and overlay networks are open for consideration. We would like to give special encouragement to experience reports with applications, with particular emphasis to those that treat problems related to scalability, robustness and security. Topics of interest for the conference include, but are not limited to: * P2P applications and services * Industrial applications / P2P in use * Security in P2P systems * Performance and robustness of P2P systems * Self-organization in P2P systems * P2P Information retrieval * Higher-level query support in P2P systems * Semantic overlay networks and semantic query routing in P2P systems * Trust and reputation management in P2P systems * Overlay architectures and topologies * P2P overlay interworking with underlying infrastructure * Overlay monitoring and management * Social networks * P2P Systems over MANETs * Delay Tolerant P2P systems * P2P economics * Cooperation in P2P systems * P2P workload characterization and simulation * P2P grids The P2P'0x conference series has developed to a highly selective conference on all topics of Peer-to-Peer research. The acceptance rate of the previous conferences was around 20%. All papers will be reviewed by at least three experts from the mentioned areas. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Press. A hardcopy will be available at the Conference. IEEE technical sponsorship is currently pending. INDUSTRY TRACK We are especially interested in experience with practical, large-scale, industrial, deployed applications. Therefore P2P'08 is going to set up a special industry track in its program. Please indicate when submitting your paper if you wish your submitted paper to be considered into an industry track. DEMO PROPOSALS P2P'08 is encouraging the P2P community to demonstrate their latest system developments and P2P applications at the P2P 2008 conference site. In addition to the demo presentation announced in the official conference program, a two page abstract will be published in the proceedings.

[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/ 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: ================ Submission due: 10 March 2008 Acceptance notification: 30 April 2008 Camera-ready due: 15 May 2008 Conference: 8-11 September, 2008 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
