-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: LOCAN 2007 - Deadline Extension Datum: Tue, 22 May 2007 16:14:39 +0200 Von: Hannes Frey <frey(a)imada.sdu.dk> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * LOCAN 2007 * * * * The 3rd International Workshop on Localized Communication * * and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks * * http://ants.dif.um.es/locan2007 * * * * In conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on * * Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems, MASS 2007 * * http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007 * * Pisa, Italy, October 8 - 12, 2006 * * * * Extended Submission Deadline: May 31, 2007 * *********************************************************************** SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. 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 31, 2007 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2007 Workshop Date: October 12, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

[Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE network special issue on "Internet Scalability: Properties and Evolution" (submission deadline: June 15th 2007)]
by Lars Wolf 20 May '07

20 May '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE network special issue on "Internet Scalability: Properties and Evolution" (submission deadline: June 15th 2007) Datum: Sun, 20 May 2007 13:30:24 +0200 Von: <S.P.W.G.Uhlig(a)ewi.tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Call for papers *************** Special issue of IEEE Network Magazine on ******************************************* Internet Scalability: Properties and Evolution ********************************************* The modern Internet is a large-scale distributed system composed of many complex, interoperating sub-systems: traffic, topology, routing, addressing, etc. With its continued growth, the scaling of these different sub-systems becomes an increasingly important issue, as does the nature of the complex interactions between them. A detailed investigation/study of these interactions is crucial to foresee the future of the Internet, and ensure its smooth evolution. The current Internet architecture suffers from scalability problems caused by a number of factors. Growth in traffic and topological size, multi-homing, and interdomain routing dynamics are some examples of factors stressing the current infrastructure. Trends in multi-homing that might impact the behavior of the traffic depend on the evolution of addressing, like the deployment and use of IPv6, or nodes mobility. The way business relationships are defined between domains affects the spread of routing information, and in turn the flow of the traffic. Applications determine between which hosts traffic is exchanged. Understanding any of these aspects requires understanding the relationships between all of them. To add to this confusion, it is now understood that different subsystems of the Internet depend on each other in unexpected ways. For instance, traffic surges due to worm attacks are able to partially disrupt routing. By studying the large-scale properties of the Internet (as opposed to the behavior of isolated sub-systems), we will better understand the issues that are of significant importance for its future. Scope of special issue: *********************** The goal of this special issue is to discuss all aspects that have an impact on the large-scale behavior of the Internet, with a focus on their interactions. To properly understand how the Internet will evolve, we believe that a global systemic view of the Internet is necessary. Submitted papers should thus bring significant insight into how different aspects of the Internet impact its global behavior. The purpose of this special issue of IEEE network magazine is to publish both state-of-the-art and prospective papers on the properties and the evolution of Internet scalability. Papers describing original research results, surveys or prospective papers should be written in a tutorial manner and be readable by non-specialists. Overly analytical papers are not welcome. Instead, contributions must focus on giving insight into the global Internet behavior without getting into unnecessary mathematical formalism. Topics of interest include: ************************** * Analysis and evolution of the control plane, including routing, naming (DNS), and addressing * Trends and perspectives in multi-homing * Evolution of business relationships between autonomous systems * Interactions between topology, routing and traffic * Global performance of control and data planes, as well as performance measurement methodologies * Impact of Internet-wide security risks (unwanted traffic, attacks against the routing and naming) on Internet robustness * Future of Internet services, QoS, fairness and network neutrality * Emerging applications (e.g. bandwidth-intensive, requiring strict QoS guarantees, etc) and their impact on global traffic Manuscript submission Authors must submit their manuscript (single column, double-spaced) electronically in PDF format by email to Steve Uhlig (S.P.W.G.Uhlig(a)ewi.tudelft.nl) 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/). 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.

-------- 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" ============================================ 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] ACM EMME 2007 CfP Datum: Wed, 9 May 2007 08:46:20 -0400 Von: Wolfgang Huerst <huerst(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-FREIBURG.DE> Antwort an: Wolfgang Huerst <huerst(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-FREIBURG.DE> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Our apologies if you have received multiple copies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Workshop on Educational Multimedia and Multimedia Education (EMME 2007) September 28, 2007, Augsburg, Germany (in conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2007) http://emme2007.informatik.uni-freiburg.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Advances in multimedia capture, analysis and delivery, combined with the rapid adoption of broadband communication, have resulted in multimedia teaching systems that have advanced traditional forms of education. 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

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Reminder: VANET 2007 Submissions due May 14 Datum: Tue, 8 May 2007 17:10:17 -0800 Von: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2007 The Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2007 September 10, 2007 Montréal, QC, Canada Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 14, 2007, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of Acceptance: June 18, 2007 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 16, 2007 The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. 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/.
