[Tccc] CFP IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on DependabilityIssues with Ubiquitous Wireless Access
by Albert Banchs 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Dependability Issues with Ubiquitous Wireless Access ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://www.comsoc.org/dl/pcm/cfpwireless808.htm +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Manuscript Due: 1 December 2007 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of the number of wireless technologies available to access the Internet. While the emergence of these new technologies can enable truly ubiquitous Internet access, it also raises issues with the dependability of the Internet service delivered to users. Indeed, wireless Internet access is, when compared to traditional wired access solutions, more prone to security attacks and less predictable in terms of the Quality of Service (QoS) experienced by users. This poses serious challenges to the provisioning, in this context, of a dependable Internet service that meets the users’ requirements in terms of security, QoS, reliability and availability, among others. In order to meet the above requirements on dependability, new solutions such as security and QoS mechanisms need to be designed for the wireless access. Several issues need to be addressed in the design of such dependable wireless solutions, including the following: (1) the open nature of radio communications provides serious exposure to security attacks; (2) the limited capacity and shared nature of the wireless medium complicates the provisioning of Quality of Service; (3) inherently unpredictable wireless channel characteristics make it hard to guarantee availability; (4) exploitation of resources due to selfish and malicious behavior is difficult to prevent; (5) the emergence of new paradigms, such as opportunistic spectrum usage and self-organizing networks, promise improvements but introduce new challenges to dependability. This special issue will focus on recent research results on dependability issues with ubiquitous wireless access in the context of wireless technologies including WLAN, cellular and broadcast systems, ad-hoc and mesh networks, among others. Topics of interest include, although are not limited to, the following: * Predictable shared medium access mechanisms * Techniques for identifying and controlling selfish users * Security mechanisms and protocols for the wireless access * Wireless Quality of Service provisioning * Countering Denial-of-service attacks in wireless networks * Metrics for measuring dependability * Privacy-aware dependable operation for wireless networks * Dependable opportunistic spectrum techniques * Dependability in self-organizing networks * Reliable and ubiquitous emergency services * Dependable services for mobile users Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to Albert Banchs (banchs(a)it.uc3m.es) no later than 1 December 2007.

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

08 Nov '07

Workshop on Smart Sensing and Situation Awareness in Sensor Networks Behrooz Shirazi and WenZhan Song, Washington State University, USA http://conferences.theiet.org/ie08/workshop_smart_sensing.htm 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 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 15th of January 2008. For more information please contact: Professor WenZhan Song, songwz(a)wsu.edu, Washington State University, Vancouver WA, USA. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International Workshop on Interoperable Vehicles (IOV 2008) March 26, 2008 Zurich, Switzerland In Cooperation with Internet of Things 2008 http://www.iov2008.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE: For a couple of years, some initial telematics services that inform the driver about current road and traffic conditions are already in the market. With new wireless communication capabilities available like WLAN, WiMAX or UMTS, many additional services become feasible. Therefore, one of the major automotive trends is keeping both the vehicle and the driver seamlessly connected with their environment, providing high-quality traffic related information, increasing active safety and offering passengers high-bandwidth internet connectivity. In the automotive domain, universal connectivity of vehicles in particular enables the implicit sharing of up-to-date traffic- and road related context information. On the one hand, the vehicles require information from the route ahead in order to optimally support the driver. On the other hand, the local knowledge of vehicles which is based on a variety of on-board sensor systems can also contribute to support other (not necessarily automotive) services. In this regard, the workshop aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals in both academia and industry to address the technical, economic, systems and application issues related to Interoperable Vehicles. The topics of interest include (but not limited to): - In-vehicle knowledge management and knowledge distribution among vehicles - Novel applications for (or based on) connected vehicles - Multi-Channel / Hybrid Connectivity - Network management and scalability - Service discovery and service provisioning - Security and Privacy - Concurrent use of multiple applications via the available channels - Business models for market introduction / Role out strategies -------------- DATE AND PLACE -------------- This workshop will be held on March 26, 2007 in Zurich, at the Conference Hotel of Internet of Things 2008. --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submission deadline: January 11, 2008 Notification of acceptance: February 9, 2008 Camera Ready Deadline: March 1, 2008 ----------------------- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of interoperable vehicles, describing original, research work not published and are not currently under review elsewhere. Submissions should be single-column and not exceed 18 pages in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format. Paper submissions should be anonymized to facilitate blind review.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP]Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) Datum: Sat, 3 Nov 2007 10:07:45 +0900 Von: Jung-Min Park <millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: TCCC <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for possible multiple copies] ================================================================== The First Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) April 4th, Berlin, Germany http://www.wmcnr.org in conjunction with 6th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt'08) March 31-April 4, Berlin, Germany http://www.wiopt.org Call for papers: http://www.wmcnr.org/CFP_WMCNR2008.pdf ================================================================== *** Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 *** Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org Call for Papers The wireless multihop communication has been one of key research issues in recent years both in academia and wireless industry. It encompasses ad hoc radio networks, sensor networks, wireless mesh networks and mobile multihop relay related to the industrial and standardization activities such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.15.4, 802.16j, etc. Further the multihop communications can be combined with cooperative communications and network coding, which attracted more researchers in this field. The idea behind such multihop communications is to utilize the availability of other nodes or to borrow their transmission capability. This in many cases exceeds the delay caused by the multihop relay, the gain from which is capacity enhancement as well as coverage extension of plain radio networks. Now we turn our attention to the robotics area. In these days, many researchers are noticing group behaviors found in small insects or animals such as ants, birds, and fish, trying to realize such behaviors into the control and coordination of a team of robots with their local interaction. The multiple (usually small) robots communicate each other, sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications. In this respect, wireless multihop communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information exchange. The main idea of this workshop is to bridge the above two areas (wireless multihop communications and networked robotics) by opening a place for researchers to meet and exchange their ideas. The workshop welcomes submissions on all aspects of the themes, which include (but 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 - Learning and adaptation in cooperative environments - 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 in networked robotics - Wireless multihop networks under node mobility ================================================================== Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: January 5, 2008 Camera-ready papers due: February 1, 2008 Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage : http://www.wmcnr.org Submission will be done through COCUS : http://cocus.create-net.it ================================================================= Workshop Chair: Seong-Lyun Kim, Yonsei Univ., Korea (slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr) Technical Programming Chairs: Riku Jantti, Helsinki Univ.

Best, Andrew ==== Call for papers Special issue of IEEE Network Magazine on Composable context aware services Wireless networks are revolutionizing the world around us. Imagine going about your day, only carrying a small mobile “companion” device. Your companion is small but the world around you is replete with a variety of displays, IO peripherals, sensors, and storage devices. As you near these resources, your companion “borrows” some of them and instantly morphs itself into a full fledged computer. All this happens without the hassles of wires, with utmost simplicity, and robust security. Beyond connectivity, your companion knows you, understands your preferences, tracks your calendar, and even learns your habits. It's capable of taking actions appropriate to your current situations, with little or no inputs from you. The device provides uses that you need and makes use of what is around to provide a higher-level of computing experience. Scope of special issue The purpose of this special issue will be to present a landscape of the state-of-the-art in research and practice of networking for composable context aware computing and connectivity. This special issue will present a collection of articles which discuss (a) high-level software, applications, and middleware that are needed to create and support composable services, (b) design of network protocols and software stacks for automatic composition, (c) the impact of context awareness to simplify network configuration, and (d) Implications for network system architecture and design. Papers should bridge the gap from academic research to early experience or deployment of monitoring infrastructure as embedded network management entities. In particular, papers must fit the target audience of IEEE Network and, therefore, have content that has tutorial value and be comprehensive. Submissions should preferably address one of the following topics: Topics of interest include · High-level software and applications needed to support and provide composable services · Security and privacy issues in the context of composable services · Middleware infrastructure needed to bridge the gap between connectivity provided by underlying network protocols and high-level software that creates composable services. · Communication protocols and architectures for device ensembles/collection of devices (set up, discovery, performance optimizations) · Security architectures for device introduction and setup · Wireless device composition – system architecture, design, and implications of communications of wireless devices for such environments (except the physical layer aspects of such devices such as antenna design) · Integration of location awareness into communications stack and mobility · Application of context-based inferencing to adapt in the presence of accessibility to multiple communication networks · Architecture and structure of applications that use collaborative network sensing to create context-aware applications · Challenges and solutions in constructing applications that can dynamically compose and provide a service based on the resources available in the immediate vicinity · Novel approaches to network management and operation esp. in the context of mobile, wireless networks · System architecture tradeoffs of communication vs computation to support a variety of devices and form factors in the composable/context aware environments · Implications of context awareness to WPAN-, WLAN-, WMAN- and cellular-based networks · Sensory issues such as composing or inferring user context from multiple sensor data Manuscript submission Authors must submit their manuscript (single column, double-spaced) electronically in PDF format by email to Raj Yavatkar (raj.yavatkar(a)intel.com) before the deadline. The manuscript should be written in single column, double-spaced, in accordance to the guidelines of the IEEE network magazine (http:// www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/).

Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled emergence. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-08 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-08 is a successor of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria), the 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, China), and the 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07, Hong Kong). Topics include but are not limited to the following: - AC/OC Theory and Models Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition, self-organization, emergence, etc. - AC/OC Architectures and Systems Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc. - AC/OC Components and Modules Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc. - AC/OC Communication and Services Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. - AC/OC Tools and Interfaces Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. - Trust Models and Specifications Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. - Trust-related Security and Privacy Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. - Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. - Trustworthy Services and Applications Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secured mobile services, novel applications, etc. - Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. == IMPORTANT DATES == Submission Deadline: January 05, 2008 Authors Notification: March 05, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: April 05, 2008 Workshop under "midnight sun" at Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway June 26-28, 2008 == ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION == Prepare your paper according to the LNCS style maximum 15 pages in PDF file.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP WNC3 2008 Datum: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 13:34:04 +0100 Von: yezekael hayel <yezekael.hayel(a)univ-avignon.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS The international workshop on "Wireless Networks: Communication, Cooperation and Competition" (WNC3'08) will be held on the 4th of April in Berlin, Germany, in adjunction with the WiOpt'08 conference (March 27-April 4). Additional information: -- see below; -- see http://www.wiopt.org/ and http://www.wnc3.org/ IMPORTANT DEADLINES Paper submission deadline : November 19, 2007 Notification of acceptance : January 21, 2008 Camera-ready papers due : February 21, 2008 Early registration deadline : March 1, 2008 SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM Research in the area of wireless communication networks has recently experienced an unprecedented embrace by both industry and academia. Interest has been fueled by advances that promise exponential gains in the error performance of networks with reduced structure, little central oversight, and limited computational capabilities. The research area's utility and challenging nature is demonstrated both by the contributions from a variety of disciplines, such as information theory, discrete mathematics, game theory and finance, as well as from the effort to unify the above and to bring forth the inherent complexities of multi-terminal communication and interaction. In pace with the above challenges, the workshop will promote new results which explore the theoretical limitations of network communications, propose novel network coding schemes, present relaying methods and cooperation protocols, and investigate fundamental tradeoffs between cooperation and competition for resource allocation. The aim being to provide the participants with an in-depth and unifying exposition to the complex nature of analyzing, coding, cooperating and competing in wireless networks, the workshop will seek to expose the intricacies of multi-terminal network theory and the advanced mathematical structures that support network communication and interactions. TOPICS OF INTEREST In the framework of communication, cooperation and competition over wireless networks, papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following directions. ? Cooperative diversity ? Network coding techniques ? Information theoretic bounds ? Stochastic network optimization ? Queueing theoretic aspects ? Application of game theory tools ? Application to sensor networks WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS Yezekael Hayel Samson Lasaulce TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Eitan Altman Konstantin Avrachenkov Sergio Barbarossa Jean-Claude Belfiore Rajarathnam Chandramouli Ron Dabora Rachid El Azouzi Patrick Maillé Kavé Salamatian Luc Vandendorpe -- Dr. Yezekael Hayel, PhD, Assistant Professor.
