-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP]Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on "Wireless Communications in Networked Robotics" Datum: Wed, 9 Jan 2008 19:33:51 +0900 Von: Jung-Min Park <millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: TCCC <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for possible multiple copies] =================================================== Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on: Wireless Communications in Networked Robotics =================================================== Background: Wireless communication has been a key driving force in recent years both in academia and in industry. It has currently expanded to wireless multihop networks, which include ad hoc radio networks, sensor networks, wireless mesh networks and mobile multihop relay systems. With multihop capability, wireless communication can be combined with cooperative communications and network coding, which has attracted even more researchers to this field. In many wireless multihop networks, the merits of capacity enhancement as well as coverage exceed the delay caused by multihop relay. Still, however, there are unresolved issues that may not be necessarily technical; one question regards the real motivation of a relay node that allows packet relay for the other transmitting nodes by consuming its own energy. There is also a security issue in multihop communications, in the sense that one's own data transmission is received by someone else in close proximity. On the other hand, in the networked robotics area, researchers try to realize group behaviors found in small insects or animals, in order to control and coordinate a team of robots. Especially, real-time wireless communication can help dynamic resource management and self-organization for a team of cooperative robots. The multiple robots communicate with each other, sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications. In this respect, wireless communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information exchange. This special issue is an attempt to bridge these two dynamic areas. We welcome submissions on all aspects of these themes, which include (but are not limited to) the following topics: - Communication architecture for collaborative robot systems - Biologically inspired swarm robotics with networking functionality - Multiple robot networking with mutihop- and cooperative communications - Network coding and wireless relay technologies for cooperative robotics - Applications of multi-robot network systems - Ad hoc robot networks - Cognitive communication technologies for inter-robot team work - Exploiting robot mobility in wireless relay networks - QoS support and resource management in networked robotics - Wireless networks under node mobility Manuscript Submission With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html. Submitted papers must be original and must not be under current consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should submit a PDF format of their complete papers via email to slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr. Important Dates: - Paper submission deadline: July 31, 2008 - Notification of acceptance: October 15, 2008 - Final manuscript Due: November 15, 2008 - Publication date: February, 2009 Guest Editors: - Seong-Lyun Kim, Yonsei Univ., Korea (slkim AT yonsei.ac.kr) - Jean-Yves Le Boudec, EPFL, Switzerland (jean-yves.leboudec AT epfl.ch) - Wolfram Burgard, Univ.

[Tccc] CfP - IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communications and NetworkManagement (ACNM'08)
by Stefan Schmid 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Network Management (ACNM 2008) April 11, 2008 - Salvador, Brazil http://www.netlab.nec.de/acnm08/ In conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2008) The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss new theories, mechanisms and applications of Autonomic Communication - a new paradigm for forthcoming networks in the fixed as well as the mobile world. The focus of ACNM is on intelligent communication, network control and management paradigms based on smart network and service elements that are capable to automatically configure and organize themselves. Autonomic networks will be able to sense their environment to perceive these changes, to understand the meaning of these changes, and to react in an intelligent manner through adaptation. This facilitates new ways to perform network control, management, service creation, etc. Autonomic networking naturally also applies to mission critical distributed systems, since autonomic behavior allows for immediate reaction to changes in the networking environment or context, and correction of any (predicted) problems. Such behavior also facilitates fault-tolerance and resilience. ACNM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange their research ideas and findings. The workshop will be held in conjunction with NOMS'08, which draws many leading researchers in the field of Network and Systems Management. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the EU IST Project ANA. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following (the full CFP can be found at http://www.netlab.nec.de/acnm08/): *** TOPICS *** - Autonomic network architectures and principles - Paradigms, tools and techniques autonomic communication systems - Control and management in dynamic/mobile network environments - Self-management of communication systems and networks (e.g., based on peer-to-peer principles) - Policy control for autonomic networks & systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for autonomic networks - Advances in and application of control theory - Self-co-operating peer-to-peer networks - Self-organizing network elements, and administrative domains - Self-* technologies - Fault-tolerance and resilience - Cognitive networking - Plug and play networking components - Knowledge based network control - Bio-inspired networks and systems - Experiences with self-* solutions - Application of autonomic management to mobile and wireless networking including 3GPP evolved UTRAN, SAE networks, etc. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** - Submission deadline: January 11th, 2008 - Notification of acceptance: February 22nd, 2008 - Camera ready version: March 21st, 2008 *** PAPER SUBMISSION *** Papers must be original material, not currently be under review, and not have been previously published by another conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on "Practical Aspects of Mobility in Wireless Self-Organizing Networks" Datum: Tue, 08 Jan 2008 11:15:38 +0100 Von: Marcelo Dias de Amorim <Marcelo.Amorim(a)lip6.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please apologize for multiple copies. ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ******************** IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Practical aspects of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks" ********************************************************** Wireless and mobile computing advanced significantly in the last decade. In particular, we now face the possibility to spontaneously establish wireless self- organizing networks, such as ad hoc, disruption-tolerant, sensor, and wireless mesh networks. These spontaneous self-organizing networks have been the focus of intensive research activity in recent years. Spontaneous networks arise from the cooperation of mobile devices in an ad hoc fashion requiring no previous infrastructure in place. A key point to couple research and real-life applications in this context is to understand how mobility (of devices, users, and applications) impacts practical networking aspects. The knowledge accumulated so far in the area of wireless self-organizing networks is in general supported by either simulation or theoretical analysis relying on strong assumptions. The research community needs a step forward and should definitely consider real aspects of mobility in their protocols and algorithms. Such a situation is to be compared with the one found for infrastructure-based networks (e.g., cellular networks), in which mobility has been thoroughly investigated (both theoretically and through measurements) and properly incorporated in their management architecture. In wireless self-organizing networks, contrary to common belief, much is still to be done in this domain, and definitive solutions are still to emerge. Mobility can no longer be seen as an issue to be hidden from higher layers of the protocol stack, but as an expected characteristic of today's communication systems. In this context, it is of utmost importance to address issues related to the impact of mobility as seen in practice, covering characterization, modeling, and applications of mobility in modern wireless networks. The research community working on wireless self-organizing networks has recently started giving more attention to the practical mobility issues in this area. This may be attested by the increasing number of initiatives worldwide like the many measurement campaigns and the considerable body of developed theoretical background work supported by practical arguments (e.g., mobility models, mobility increasing network capacity, relationship between node mobility and wireless channel conditions). The goal of this special issue is to help filling this gap by presenting contributions ranging from the impact of mobility on self-organizing networks to mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. As we intend to focus on the practical impacts of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks, papers presenting insights from the applicability of mobility measurements and realistic mobility models in this context are also expected. We will be particularly interested in contributions that explore mobility to improve the behavior of network protocols and algorithms. We are soliciting papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics: * Mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. * Impact of mobility on self-organizing networks. * Practical applicability of wireless testbeds and mobility measurements. * Realistic mobility models for self-organizing networks. * Mobility-centric killer applications.

08 Jan '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM SIGCOMM 2008 -- Call for Posters and Demos Datum: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 15:00:01 -0600 (CST) Von: Yin Zhang <yzhang(a)cs.utexas.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ACM SIGCOMM 2008 -- Call for Posters and Demos ============================================== 1. Call For Posters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This year we will be repeating the very popular poster session aimed at showcasing work in progress. This is an opportunity to present and discuss current work in an informal setting during the SIGCOMM 2008 conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference CFP. Although anyone can submit a poster, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Posters will be reviewed by members of the SIGCOMM Poster Session Committee. At the conference, student posters must be presented by a student. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2008 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. Why Should You Submit a Poster? ------------------------------- This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition a small number of submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newletter, the ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Travel Grants for Student Posters --------------------------------- Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants. What is a Poster? ----------------- We define a poster to be A0 paper size to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively you can use the space as a continuum. You can arrange the space and orient the poster either horizontally or vertically. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. What and Where to Submit ------------------------ You need to submit a two-page abstract (font at least 11pt) describing the work to "sigcomm08-posters at maillists.intel-research.net". The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. Optional: if available, the poster itself can be included in the email if it is small (<1.5M) else it can be made available at a URL in pdf format. The poster may be consulted at the discretion of the reviewers. The abstract should identify the key contribution of the work being presented in the poster. In addition, it should describe the particular problem being addressed, what makes this problem interesting or important, and what your approach is to the problem. We recommend that you use the ACM conference style for preparing your abstract. Include the title, authors, institutional affiliations, status (student, faculty, and so on) of each author and an email address of the contact author. In the final version of the abstract, you should also include a URL that will provide additional information about your work to the attendees. Your abstract should not exceed the page limit; longer submissions will not be considered for review. Your submission will be acknowledged by email within four days after you submit. Please remember that the abstract should be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees in addition to the conference proceedings. Accepted poster authors will have about a month to revise their abstract prior to printing. For the posters, we will provide poster board and glue for mounting the posters. The SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo Committee will select between 15 and 30 of the most interesting and thought-provoking posters. Posters Important Dates (Tentative) ----------------------------------- * Submission Deadline May 2, 2008 * Acceptance Notification May 30, 2008 2. Call for Demos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proposals for research demonstrations and exhibits are strongly solicited. Research demonstrations should be innovative research prototypes that show new research related to the topics included in the SIGCOMM conference CFP. Demos Submission Instructions ----------------------------- Submit a summary of the proposed demo (maximum of 3 pages, including figures if needed) to sigcomm08-demos at maillists.intel-research.net.

[Tccc] [CFP] Workshop on Smart Sensing and Situation Awareness in Sensor Networks
by WenZhan Song 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Workshop on Smart Sensing and Situation Awareness in Sensor Networks http://conferences.theiet.org/ie08/workshop.htm#smart Submission deadline: January 31th, 2008 Conference date: July 21-22, 2008, Seattle WA, USA The aim of this workshop is to stimulate research on smart sensing and situation awareness related topics in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Sensor network can be said to be the nerve system of our engineering network world, extracting and transmitting useful and timely information reliably for efficient decision support and quick corrective actions. Examples of end-to-end sensor applications include: cargo monitoring systems in a harbor that check containers in a WSN equipped ship for detecting dangerous chemical substances, locating stowaways, or calculating import duties; environmental monitoring systems, such as volcano monitoring and structure monitoring sensor network, that provides domain scientists high resolution views of environments; transport systems that route traffic using real-time data monitored by sensor-enabled cars; emergency management systems that can detect bushfires; smart home environments that enable remote monitoring of residents, early detection of emergency situations and enhancement of quality of life and safety. However, different applications have different context and mission needs, hence developing and deploying end-to-end applications for sensor networks in a realistic business context remains highly complex. Unlike traditional communication networks, a sensor network is to provide a high degree of visibility into environmental physical processes, not to provide any-to-any communications. Consequently, it requires an end-to-end approach that handles the WSN as a whole rather than as a group of individual nodes. The sensor network design therefore shall be fully context and situation-aware, and target to maximize mission returns with given resource constraints. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Environmental context and situation awareness Resource discovery and management Cross layering and resource awareness (Distributed) compressed sensing and data aggregation Data fusion, storage and management Effective naming and device/service discovery in end-to-end WSNs Failure resilience and fault isolation Sensor network management Overlay and topology management Sensor mobility and heterogeneity, and smart sensor device drivers Localization, time synchronization Security and privacy Integration with back-end systems such as web-based information systems, process control, and enterprise software Sensor network planning, provisioning, calibration and deployment Deployment experience and testbeds Experimental methodology, including measurement, simulation, and emulation infrastructure Analysis of real-world systems and fundamental limits Technical Program Committee Matt Welsh, Harvard University, USA Guanling Chen, University of Massachusetts at Lowell, USA Yu Wang, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA Xiuzhen Cheng, George Washington University, USA Guihai Chen, Nanjing University, China Weicao Wang, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA Gianluca Bontempi, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium Prasanta Bose, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, USA Ali Hurson - Penn State University, USA Mohan Kumar - University of Texas at Arlington, USA Yu Jiao - Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA Ben Lee - Oregon State University, USA HB Chen - Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA Krishna Kavi, Univ of North Texas, USA Instructions for Manuscripts Authors are requested to submit a PDF file for their manuscript following the submission guideline available at http://conferences.theiet.org/ie08/author.htm . All manuscripts should be submitted through the conference submission system and choosing the workshop title. The papers should also be emailed to the workshop organizer for reference. All manuscripts should be received by the conference deadline for paper submission which is the 31 January 2008. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: MCN-Infocom'08 Datum: Sat, 5 Jan 2008 15:58:45 -0500 Von: Mohamed Younis <younis(a)cs.umbc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: 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 .

[Tccc] The deadline is fast approaching Jan 31st 2008 Fwd: CFP: SPRINGER - ANNALS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, Special Issue on Inter-Domain Routing and QoS over Heterogeneous Networks, Deadline: January 31st, 2008.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPRINGER - ANNALS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS Special Issue on Inter-Domain Routing and QoS over Heterogeneous Networks http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/CFP-Annal… Important Dates Manuscripts Submission: January 31st, 2008. Acceptance Notification: April 30, 2008. Final Revised Manuscripts Due: June 1st, 2008. Expected Publication: Fall 2008. Call for Papers Today, the Internet is the most important communication infrastructure of our society. It enables users across the world to access and exchange information. Intra-domain routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), that work within an Autonomous System (AS) or domain have been studied extensively by the scientific community. The other class of routing protocols, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), or Inter-Domain Routing Protocol (IDRP), which recently received a lot of attention, is inter-domain routing, where traffic needs to be routed among distinct AS. Many types of intra-domain routing algorithms have been proposed, including those based on shortest-path, centralized, distributed, flow-based, state-dependent, etc., to solve the challenge of optimal use of network resources. This challenge is further exacerbated by emerging QoS requirements of end-to-end applications (such as VoIP, Video conferencing, etc) for highly heterogeneous environments consisting of distinct AS. Due to the increasing number of AS, and the large number of connections per AS to the network, inter-domain routing solutions, based largely on routing protocol such as the BGP, suffer from several limitations when applied to deploy global QoS routing protocols. Such solutions often show serious insufficiencies in a highly heterogeneous Internet infrastructure consisting of different wired or wireless AS. The QoS routing over different types of AS should handle both, the different QoS provisioning mechanisms as well as the required service specifications. However, cooperation among AS is generally based on independent management relationships amongst organizations and are often expressed as a simple policy-based routing with different understandings of QoS. This requires that inter and intra routing schemes have to be coordinated to guarantee QoS requirements with respect to service level agreement, which is a highly limiting factor on the scalability of future solutions. This special issue focuses on QoS routing, control policies, traffic engineering and explore their effectiveness when deployed over heterogeneous AS (for more details, see Scope of Contributions Section). We hope that the state-of-the-art results presented in this issue will provide further insight into novel QoS approaches that support mobility, scalability, connectivity and safety over the heterogeneous Internet infrastructure composed of multiple different AS. For this Special issue, we seek original research or survey articles that explore novel approaches, algorithms, architectures, designs, and implementations to address research issues and challenges in the area of inter-domain QoS routing. Scope of Contributions Authors are encouraged to submit papers addressing all aspects of inter-domain Quality of Service (QoS) routing approaches and related topics with concrete experimental studies to show the validity of their approach using different types of Autonomous Systems (AS). Papers submitted for consideration should describe original research not published or currently under review by other journals and conferences. Parallel submissions will not be accepted. We solicit papers covering the following topics but not limited to: · Hierarchical QoS Routing · Inter-AS QoS Adaptation and Measurements, Inter-AS QoS Analysis and Modeling · Policy-Based Management in inter-AS QoS Routing and Security · Inter-AS QoS specification, translation, and adaptation · Inter-AS Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Service Level Specification (SLS) issues · Dynamic state-dependent QoS Policies · Stateless QoS Routing Frameworks · Constraint-based Path Selection Algorithms · Inter-AS QoS Traffic shaping and Traffic Management · Complexity, Stability, Performance of Inter-AS QoS Routing Approaches · Inter-AS QoS Constraints, Scalability, Robustness, and Reactivity · Economic models of Inter-AS Routing Policies on Pricing and Billing · Standardization issues Manuscript submission: Authors must submit their manuscript (single column, double-spaced) electronically in PDF format by email to the corresponding guest editor (mellouk(a)univ-paris12.fr) before the deadline. Please also include information about the manuscript (title, complete list of authors, corresponding author's contact, abstract, and keywords) in the body of your submission email message.

Neben der grundlegenden Organisation des Routing-Prozesses finden sich in MANETs weitere wichtige Fragestellungen wie Autokonfiguration, Sicherheit oder effizienter Nutzung von Ressourcen. Bedingt durch die beschränkten Ressourcen mobiler Kleingeraete, das Fehlen zentraler Instanzen und die hohe Dynamik von Ad-hoc Netzen lassen sich bekannte Lösungen aus dem Bereich drahtgebundener Netze nicht ohne Weiteres übertragen. Aus diesen Gründen behandelt dieses Fachgespräch die zugrundeliegenden Funktechnologien ebenso wie Fragestellungen bis zur Anwendungsschicht. Auch konkrete Anwendungsszenarien wie Fahrzeug-Fahrzeug-Kommunikation oder Unterwasser-Ad-hoc Netze sind von Interesse. Die aus vielfältigen Themenbereichen bekannten Fachgespräche der KuVs zeichnen sich durch eine kommunikative, diskussionsorientierte Atmosphäre aus, bei der auch junge Forschungsaktivitäten sowie initiale Ideen zu Herausforderungen des jeweiligen Themenkreises präsentiert werden sollen. Autoren sind eingeladen, eine Kurzfassung ihrer zur Diskussion zu stellenden Aktivitäten im Umfang von maximal 2 Seiten als PDF einzureichen (in deutscher oder englischer Sprache, Formatierung im Stil der IEEE Transactions, siehe http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html). Die endgültigen Kurzfassungen (sowie ggf. die Präsentationsfolien) sollen in einem Technischen Bericht der Universität Ulm zusammengefasst und veröffentlicht werden. Ferner ist geplant, im Anschluss an das Fachgespräch ausgewählte Beiträge zur Einreichung einer Vollversion für ein Themenheft der PIK (Praxis der Informationsverarbeitung und Kommunikation) einzuladen. Einreichungen sollen formlos per E-Mail an die drei Organisatoren geschickt werden (Termin und E-Mailadressen siehe unten). Wichtige Daten Fr 29.02.2008 - Frist für Einreichungen Mo 17.03.2008 - Benachrichtigung Do 10.04.2008 - Endgültige Fassung Do 10.04.2008 - Anmeldeschluss Do 24.04. - Fr 25.04.2008 Fachgespräch Veranstaltungsort/Genaue Zeiten Das Fachgespräch wird an der Universität Ulm stattfinden.

[Tccc] CfP: ACM SIGMOBILE MobilityModels'08 at MobiHoc'08
by Mirco Musolesi 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

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 or 30 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* Paper submissions is limited to 8 pages (10pt ACM format). Submission instructions will be available soon on the workshop Website (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/mobilitymodels08/). The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. *Important dates* Submission deadline: 18 February 2008 Notification to the authors: 18 March 2008 Camera ready version deadline: 28 March 2008 Workshop date: 26 or 30 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.
