-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM/Springer MONET Special Issue on "Advances in Wireless Mesh Networks" Datum: Mon, 14 May 2007 16:32:07 -0500 Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang(a)uark.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================ CALL FOR PAPERS ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Special Issue on "Advances in Wireless Mesh Networks" ==========================… [View More]================== Wireless mesh networks facilitates the extension of local area networks into wide areas and have emerged as a promising approach for future network accesses. 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 We solicit original and unpublished research papers in both theoretical studies and practical protocol/architecture designs for wireless mesh networks, as well as prototypes.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 1, 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.

Research in these areas has achieved impressive results in the last few years and many actual working systems and commercial products are now routinely used by a growing number of people. However, the various web sites and lecture videos produced as part of the "e-learning hype" generally do not exploit the full potential of multimedia. The question about how multimedia can really make learning more exploratory and enjoyable is as yet unanswered, and we are just beginning to understand the real contribution of multimedia to education. In addition, new trends in multimedia technology, such as multimedia on handheld devices or advanced approaches for the automatic analysis of multimodal signals, offer novel and exciting opportunities for teaching and learning. The growing pervasiveness of multimedia on any computing device also increases the relevance of knowledge about multimedia for computer scientists and software engineers. However, the significance of multimedia for the future of computing is generally not reflected in current curricula. For example, few universities offer dedicated courses and multimedia is often only taught as part of other courses such as computer graphics or machine learning. In addition, multimedia is a very active and rapidly changing field. New and emerging technologies can not only influence how we teach but also have an impact on what we should teach. The goal of this workshop is to identify current and evolving trends, specify open problems, and discover challenges and prospects for new research in the broad topic of multimedia-based education. By bringing together researchers working on educational multimedia with multimedia educators, we want to establish an open discussion on these issues and create a reference for future research in this area. In particular, we invite submissions in one of the following areas: -> MULTIMEDIA EDUCATION, i.e. submissions which identify key issues and best practices for teaching multimedia and look into the future of multimedia education. -> EDUCATIONAL MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS, i.e. work on educational multimedia systems and applications that promote learning. -> EMERGING TRENDS, i.e. papers on novel technologies and emerging trends in computing that offer new and exciting possibilities for the production and usage of multimedia learning material. We explicitly encourage researchers from other communities who are also working with multimedia data and multimodal signals to contribute to this workshop by submitting their research related to educational multimedia material and applications. In addition, any contribution from an emerging field dealing with education and new media is welcome. Further potential areas of interest include, among them, gaming and learning, human-centered computing, and ubiquitous computing. Information about submissions (up to 10 pages in ACM style, shorter submissions are welcome as well) are available on the workshops web site (see URL below). Selected papers will be invited for publication in a related journal. Workshop Chairs Gerald Friedland, ICSI, Berkeley, CA, USA Wolfgang Hürst, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany Lars Knipping, Berlin University of Technology, Germany Important Dates Deadline: June 1, 2007 Notification: July 9, 2007 Final Version: July 23, 2007 Further information & submission instructions at http://emme2007.informatik.uni-freiburg.de [View Less]

Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc networks will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. A high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia, VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, and VANET 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, the Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) will be held in Montréal, QC, Canada September 14, 2007, in conjunction with MobiCom 2007. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Safety and non-safety applications - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Communication protocol design - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds VANET present a highly active field of research, development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include the consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe) and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2007 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/.

Shin ========================================================================== ****** Paper Submission Deadline Extended to: May 15, 2007 ****** ----- Scope ----- Recent advances in the wireless communications and networking technologies will significantly impact the design of automobiles to make automobile operations safer and more efficient, and thereby, result in significant progress in the evolution of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) band has been allocated in the USA at 5.9 GHz for vehicle-to- roadside (V2R) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, while the IEEE 802.11p working group is developing enhancements of 802.11 standards to support ITS, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), vehicular telematics, and infotainment applications. It is anticipated that a single wireless access technology may not suit the needs of all vehicular communication applications, and a heterogeneous wireless networking platform needs to be developed and optimized. Numerous exciting research challenges exist for designing wireless networking protocols for vehicular communication applications. Significant advancements in these research areas are expected in near future. The objectives of this workshop are to discuss the challenges in designing wireless networking protocols for vehicular networks and ITS, different ITS applications and services based on wireless communications and networking technologies, and present the recent advances in these areas. With the objective and a very timely topic, the workshop is expected to attract lot of interest from the researchers in the area of wireless communication networks as well as from ITS designers and planners. The technical issues which will be addressed in this workshop include - Vehicular wireless communications applications and services for ITS - Vehicular telematics based on emerging wireless technologies - Multimedia content distribution in vehicular networks - Architectures for V2R communications - Heterogeneous wireless network architecture for V2V and V2R communications - Physical, medium access control , radio link, and routing protocols - Cross-layer wireless protocol analysis, design, and optimization for vehicular networks - Cognitive radio protocols for vehicular networks - Security protocols for vehicular networks - Privacy issues in vehicular networks - Vehicular network management - Performance modeling and simulation - Field experiments and test-bed results Accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series and will be made available in ACM Digital Library, as well as indexed by EI and ISI Index. ---------------- Paper Submission ---------------- Manuscripts which present original materials not previously published in, or currently under review by, another conference or journal, are invited.

In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas (for example, a multi-disciplinary program on sensors and sensor networks was launched in 2003 at the US National Science Foundation) and research activities are booming recently. This workshop concentrates on network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting * Geocasting and anycasting * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Sensor area coverage problems * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: May 15, 2007 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2007 Workshop Date: October 12, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] WiMob'07: Special Session on Mobility Models Datum: Wed, 02 May 2007 23:56:58 -0400 Von: Fabrice Valois <fabrice.valois(a)insa-lyon.fr> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CFP for IEEE WiMOB’2007 special session on Mobility Models for Mobile Ad hoc Networks, Mesh networks, Wireless networks and NEMO networks The session is a part of the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications “WiMob … [View More]2007” http://www.gel.usherbrooke.ca/WiMob2007/, which will take place in Crowne Plaza Hotel, White Plains, New York, USA, from October 8-10, 2007. Motivations: Because WiMob'07 conference is focused on wireless networks and because the performances of wireless networks are strongly linked to the mobility models used, we propose a special session focusing only on mobility models. This session is focused on these kind of wireless networks: - MANET: Mobile ad hoc networks where whole the topology is dynamic - Mesh networks and classical wireless networks offering an infrastructure topologies allowing fixed and mobile Internet for the end user. - Network Mobile (NEMO) networks offering new kind of dynamic topology where not only the user is mobile but also the network These kind of networks should deal with mobility: user mobility, group mobility, etc. But, what is really mobility? how mobility influences the performances? how to define new mobility models? etc. Scope of the Contributions for Mobility Models in the case of MANET, Mesh Networks, Wireless Networks and NEMO networks (include but are not limited to the following): - Performance evaluation of mobility models - New mobility models to mimic particular behavior - Theoretical aspects of mobility models - Theoretical frameworks for mobility - Mobility models based on realistic traces - Mobility management - Networking protocols and mobility models - Tools for mobility models (generators, integrators to simulators, ..) - etc. Authors are invited to submit a complete technical paper of their original work. Maximum length for submissions is 8 double column pages in IEEE format. The preferred submission format is PDF. Session Chair: Fabrice Valois, INSA Lyon, France Session Co-chair: Thomas Noel, University of Strasbourg, France Submissions should be sent attached by email to the session chairs at: fabrice.valois(a)insa-lyon.fr Thomas.Noel(a)dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr Important Dates : Manuscript Submission Due: May 25, 2007 Acceptance Notification: June 8, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: June 15, 2007 -- Fabrice Valois, Associate Professor INRIA ARES / CITI - INSA Lyon, Telecommunications Dpt.
