Each system or technology has its own pros and cons. There are significant challenges that need to be addressed on how to integrate these heterogeneous access networks effectively to deliver ubiquitous connectivity, i.e., to achieve seamless handoff and device mobility among different networks, for ITS services. Many technological breakthroughs are required for each layer and mobility protocol technology shows great promise to enable ubiquitous service access and connectivity for ITS. Mobility protocols maintain end-to-end connections between mobile nodes and their corresponding nodes even when mobile nodes change their point of attachment of the access network. This special issue focuses on protocols for mobility, i.e., protocols that support mobile links and possible handoffs for intelligent transportation systems and vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET). It will cover the following topical areas but are not limited to: * Communication and service architecture of mobility supported ITS * Algorithms and protocols for ITS and VANET * Handoff mechanisms for mobility supported ITS * Mobile routing and network mobility protocols for ITS?and VANET * Mobile IPv4/IPv6 for ITS * QoS issues for ITS and VANET * Security protocols for ITS * Media access control and ad hoc routing protocols for inter-vehicular networks * Mobile sensor networks for traffic and incident management * Performance modeling and evaluation of mobility protocols for ITS * Field trials and performance measurement of ITS or VANET systems, characterization of wireless performance on ITS/VANETs * Implementation of mobility support ITS subsystems and services * Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication Guest Editors Han-Chieh Chao (Corresponding Editor) College of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science National Ilan University I-Lan, Taiwan, ROC hcc(a)niu.edu.tw Sherali Zeadally Department of Computer Science and Information Technology University of the District of Columbia Washington, DC 20008, USA szeadally(a)udc.edu Submission Details We seek original contributions not currently under review by other journals.

WiNTECH 2007: The Second ACM International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation and CHaracterization A workshop in MobiCom 2007 10 Sep 2007, Montreal, QC, Canada In recent years, some wireless technologies (e.g., WiFi, sensor networks) have matured to the point of finding wide acceptance in the real-world and leading to many new and interesting applications. At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g., dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such diverse set of technologies and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying the key performance bottlenecks, thus shape future advances in wireless technology. The importance of testbed-based evaluation of wireless network protocols/applications as well as characterization of real-world aspects using traces from operational networks is gaining wider recognition in the mobile and wireless networking research community. This workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. The workshop program will include an interactive session with demos and posters. We welcome demonstrations of novel wireless network testbed capabilities and measurement results. The posters may describe work in progress and offers an excellent opportunity for feedback and discussions on early research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design and evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms * Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments * Hybrid experimentation approaches combining use of multiple evaluation methodologies * Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures * Testbed management issues and monitoring support * Wireless testbed case studies * Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols, including the impact of cross-layer interactions * Large-scale and heterogeneous wireless network evaluations * Approaches for real-world evaluation of mobile networks * Evaluation environments for sensor and satellite networks * Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing * Implementation approaches to ease transition between different evaluation methodologies * New measurement methodologies and infrastructures * Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of wireless networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics * Interference and spectrum usage measurements * Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies * Software tools in support of measurements, trace/data collection and management Important Dates * Poster/demo submission deadline: Mon 02 Jul 2007, 23:59 EDT * Poster/demo notification: Mon 09 Jul 2007 * Camera ready submission: Mon 16 Jul 2007, 23:59 EDT * Workshop date: Mon 10 Sep 2007 Poster/demo submission instructions Please make poster and demo submissions by providing a writeup as per the following requirements: * A maximum of TWO 8.5"x11" pages (including figures, tables, and references) * The writeup must be in two-column format, using 10-point size or greater and reasonable margins * It must use PDF format Submit by emailing your poster/demo writeup (pdf file) to: Bhaskaran Raman, (braman [at] cse [dot] iitk [dot] ac [dot] in) WiNTECH'07 Website http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/wintech07/ TPC chairs: Peter Steenkiste, Carnegie Mellon University (prs [at] cs [dot] cmu [dot] edu) Bhaskaran Raman, IIT Kanpur (braman [at] cse [dot] iitk [dot] ac [dot] in) Steering Committee: Rajive Bagrodia, UCLA Mahesh Marina, University of Edinburgh Edward Knightly, Rice University Joe Evans, University of Kansas TPC members: Rajive Bagrodia, UCLA Suman Banerjee, University of Wisconsin Ian Chakeres, Motorola Kameswari Chebrolu, IIT Kanpur Tzi-Cker Chiueh, State University of New York at Stony Brook Ramesh Govindan, University of Southern California Tristan Henderson, University of St Andrews Glenn Judd, Carnegie Mellon University Edward Knightly, Rice University Henrik Lundgren, Thomson Research Mahesh Marina, The University of Edinburgh Ivan Seskar, Rutgers University Raghupathy Sivakumar, Georgia Institute of Technology Vikram Srinivasan, National University of Singapore Mani Srivastava, University of California, Los Angeles Adam Wolisz, Technical University of Berlin Haitao Zheng, Univ. of California, Santa Barbara ----------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

Focusing on the man-machine interaction part Perceptual User Interfaces for Games Humans communicate using speech, gesture, and body motion, yet today's computers do not use this valuable information. Instead, computers force users to sit at a typewriter keyboard, stare at a TV-like display, and learn an endless set of arcane commands -- often leading to frustration, inefficiencies, and disuse. The idea behind PUI is that a computer system "hears" users' voice commands and "sees" their gestures and body positions. Interactions are natural, more like human-to-human interactions. PUI use here machine perception to allow users to interact with computergames and within computer gaming environments. By reading gestures, motions and speech we should be able to in a much more natural way interact with the games. But sensor systems deliver only raw position and pose information. For interface use, these are not the desired quantities—we need to understand the abstractions appropriate for a natural interface and consider how the various perceptual input degrees of freedom should relate to available commands and options.

Instructors: ------------ * Iljitsch van Beijnum (www.bgpexpert.com, Netherlands) Iljitsch van Beijnum is a networking consultant and writer who focuses on BGP and IPv6. After working for several Dutch ISPs and starting one with a group of others in the 1990s, he became a freelance consultant and wrote a book about BGP (O'Reilly, 2002) and one about IPv6 (Apress, 2005) and started contributing to the IETF multi6 and shim6 working groups. * Bruno Quoitin (Universite Catholique de Louvain (UCL), Belgium) Bruno Quoitin is a research fellow within the Computer Science and Engineering Department at Universite Catholique de Louvain (UCL) in Belgium. His main research interests are interdomain routing and large scale network modeling. He is the main author of C-BGP, an open-source BGP routing solver (http://cbgp.info.ucl.ac.be). * Tobias Oetiker (Oetiker + Partner, Switzerland) Tobias Oetiker is an electrical engineer by education and a system administrator by vocation. For the last ten years he has been working for the ETH Zurich, making sure students and staff get ahead with their computers. Last year he started to work for his own company OETIKER+PARTNER, spending amongst other things much more payed time on his pet open source projects MRTG, RRDtool, and SmokePing. In November 2006, Tobias received the prestigious SAGE Outstanding Achievement Award for his work on MRTG and RRDtool. Find out more about Tobi Oetiker on http://tobi.oetiker.ch/ * Luca Deri (ntop.org, Italy) Luca Deri is the leader of the ntop project (http://www.ntop.org/) aimed at developing an open source monitoring platform for high speed traffic analysis. He currently shares his time between NETikos S.p.A. and the University of Pisa where he has been appointed as lecturer at the CS department. His home page is http://luca.ntop.org/. * Maurizio Molina (Dante, United Kingdom) Maurizio Molina graduated in Electronic Engineering (Italian Laurea) from the Polytechnic of Turin in 1993. Since then, he has worked in the telecommunications industry, mainly in research centres, including Telecom Italia Labs (Turin, Italy) and the NEC Network Laboratories (Heidelberg, Germany). He published several papers about IP and ATM traffic modeling and network measurements. He contributed to the ITU-T ATM standardization process, and to working groups in the IETF (on IPFIX and PSAMP). He joined DANTE's Systems group in November 2004, working on performance monitoring, security and authentication and authorization infrastructures. * Peter Haag (Switch, Switzerland) Peter Haag is a member of SWITCH-CERT, the Swiss Education & Research Network CERT. He received a master's degree (1991) in electrical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and worked as a digital hardware design engineer for four years. In 1995, he changed into the design, development and operation of Internet Server Systems. In 2002, Peter Haag joined SWITCH as an network security engineer. Within SWITCH-CERT he is in charge of incident handling, computer forensics, malware analysis and security tool design. He is the author of the open source netflow tools nfdump and NfSen. At the moment he is actively involved in several projects doing netflow and traffic analysis. Topics: ------- Below is a brief description of the topics covered in the summer school. Topic #1: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) * Border Gateway Protocol BGP (Iljitsch van Beijnum) This session will provide an introduction into BGP and how it is used in the current internet for global policy routing. Some hands one experiments will give students a practical understanding how BGP is being used by Internet Service Providers. * BGP Analysis and Simulation (Bruno Quoitin) The purpose of the BGP Analysis and Simulation session is to get some hands on real world BGP data and analysis/simulation tools. In a first step, we will briefly review the prominent BGP-related data formats and analysis/simulaton tools. We will show what kind of analysis they allow to perform, what research results have been published and what are the limitations. In a second step, we will perform some basic analysis of data collected in the Abilene backbone as well as by the RouteViews and RIPE RCC projects. Basic notions of one scripting language such as Perl or Python are assumed for this part. Finally, we will learn step-by-step how to build a model of a BGP network. For this purpose, we will rely on the C-BGP simulator. We will build a model of a simple transit network (the Abilene backbone network) as well as a model of a large-scale Internet-like network. Based on these models, we will experiment advanced traffic engineering configurations. Topic #2: Packet Capturing and Time Series Storage (CAPTIME) * Storing time series data with RRDtool (Tobi Oetiker) The first step is to find ways to acquire interesting data. Once the data is here, the challenge is to find a sensible way to store, analyze and present it. RRDtool helps you with these tasks. The class will give you an overview of RRDtool's capabilities and some insights into the finer points of this tool. The lab exercises will focus on applying RRDtool to store and graph data you acquired yourself, allowing you to quickly write your own monitoring application. * Monitoring Traffic with ntop (Luca Deri) This class will introduce students to network traffic monitoring and cover the design and implementation of ntop, a popular open-source application developed by the instructor. ntop is able to collect traffic from various sources including packet traces, live network feeds, NetFlow and sFlow sources. Traffic metrics and statistics are saved on disk in RRD format for historical and trend analysis. The lab exercise will show students how to use ntop for effective traffic monitoring. Topic #3: Flow Export and Visualization (FLOWVIZ) Netflow data is information collected and exported by routers about IP flows transiting through them. The most classical definition of a flow (although not the only one) is "packets with the same 5-tuple: src IP, dst IP, src port, dst port, protocol". Information about the volume and duration of flows can be used for several different applications, ranging from billing, to traffic engineering and planning, to performance troubleshooting, and security. All these applications can rely on a common Netflow exporting and collection platform, while the Netflow processing tools may differ. In this FLOWVIZ module we first give the high level picture of what Netflow data is, and what are the fundamental functional blocks involved in its generation, collection and analysis. We then enter in some details about the main challenges associated when these modules have to be mapped with real equipments, particularly in high-speed networks. After that, we look in more detail at the current and forthcoming standards for representing per flow information: we will explore the main evolution of Cisco Netflow through its most used versions (v5, v8 and v9) and how the IETF IPFIX (IP Flow Information eXport) Working Group undertook the challenge of evolving a proprietary (though widely deployed) industry standard (Netflow) into an official IETF standard. We then move to presenting how Netflow data is collected, bringing the concrete examples of SWITCH (the Swiss National Research and Educational Network) and GEANT2 (the European backbone network for education and research). The collected Netflow data needs then to be analysed by appropriate tools. Since there are tenths of such tools, both commercial and open source, sometimes very application specific, we can just give a quick overview and adequate references. We get on the contrary in the details of nfdump-NfSen, the flow collection, visualization and analysis tool developed by Peter Haag at SWITCH. Nfdump and NfSen were developed with the daily security tasks of a CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team) in mind. We will explain nfdump, the command line tool, and how to look at the traffic. NfSen, on top of nfdump, is the web based graphical interface, as well as the toolbox for further flow processing. We will give an overview on how to use the web interface, including how plugins work and how to write them. The Lab part of the FLOWIZ module consists of two different sections - the nfdump hands-on part and the NfSen hands-on part. Each students will have it's own environment based on UBUNTU Linux (VMware Image) with all tools and netflow data preinstalled. All netflow data is taken from a real live network and is anonymised. The students get used to work with nfdump, the command line tool, to search for top talkers, bandwidth consumers and further more. NfSen will run in simulation mode, so all NfSen exercises can be repeated many times. Students will have the opportunity to investigate unusual network behaviour, digging into the details with nfdump and NfSen.

Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to numerous practical routing and transport protocols. Unlike ad hoc networks, however, mesh networks can serve as access networks that employ multi-hop wireless forwarding by mesh nodes to relay traffic to and from the wired Internet. The unique features of wireless mesh networks pose challenges in designing affordable, reliable, and sustainable network infrastructures. The critical issues span a rich spectrum of issues from interference-aware channel assignment, multi-hop routing, to reliable transport and infrastructure optimization, many of which have to be revisited in this new context. The purpose of this special issue is to archive the state-of-the-art achievements in wireless mesh networking. We solicit original and unpublished research papers in both theoretical studies and practical protocol/architecture designs for wireless mesh networks, as well as prototypes. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical performance analysis - Network capacity and network coverage - Scalable power management and topology control - Cognitive radio-enabled wireless mesh networks - Multi-channel and multi-radio MAC protocols - Scalable and robust routing protocols - Reliable and adaptive transport protocols - Cross-layer design and optimization - New applications over wireless mesh networks - Secure communication protocols - Resource management and traffic control - Heterogeneous wireless mesh networks - Cooperative communication for mesh networks - Efficient transport design - Network operation and management - Mobility management - Testbeds and trial systems Publication Schedules: - Manuscript Due: June 15, 2007 - Acceptance Notification: Oct 15, 2007 - Final Manuscript Due: Dec 1, 2007 - Publication Date: second quarter in 2008 (expected) Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered. Submission should be limited to 25 double space pages.
