Distinguished papers accepted and presented in CoNET-07, will be invited to contribute in the book Cooperative Wireless Communications, Auerbach Publications, Taylor&Francis Group. Scope and Topics: ================= Cooperative wireless communications and networking is emerging as a promising technology to enhance system performance by sharing resources among wireless nodes. With cooperation at all layers of the protocol stack, the wireless network can achieve higher throughput, higher system reliability, higher energy efficiency, lower bit-error rate, and smaller packet loss rate. A variety of research in recent years have actively focused on design, simulation, modeling, and applying cooperative communications in wireless ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks, etc. International standards organizations have been initialized various activities to apply cooperation mechanisms in the wireless LAN, PAN and MAN. For instance, the IEEE 802.16j working group is actively calling for contributions for relay metropolitan networks. The idea of cooperative wireless communications and networking can be tracked back to the work of the theoretic properties of relay channels. By sharing antennas in a multi-user environment, single-antenna wireless devices enable a virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system that allows them to achieve transmit diversity, and hence obtain advantages of MIMO with reduced size, cost, and complexity of the hardware/software. Upon cooperation at physical, MAC, network, and application layer, various cooperative signaling methods are widely explored and many new mechanisms are under development with respects to routing, medium access, location management, scheduling, energy management, and so on. This workshop intends to bring together researchers, engineers, and students to present new results, describe work in progress, and explore relationships among their diverse approaches. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: . Cooperative diversity . Virtual MIMO . Channel capacity . Cooperative channel coding . Cognitive radio networks . Cooperating services . Grid Computing . Middleware . Performance analysis, simulation and experiment . Services, applications and systems . Testbed, prototype, practical system and case studies . Resource management . Mobility management . Energy management . Security management . Cross-layer cooperation and optimization . Cooperative and distributed relaying . Relay networking . Regenerative cooperative systems . Protocols for relay and multi-hop channels . Distributed relay-assignment algorithm . Routing, packet forwarding, multicast . Cooperative scheduling .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] SANET 2007: call for papers Datum: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 09:37:13 +0200 Von: Andrea Passarella <a.passarella(a)iit.cnr.it> An: cost 290 290 <Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi> [Apologies for possible cross posting] ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS SANET 2007 First ACM Workshop on Sensor Actor Networks http://www.lifl.fr/POPS/SANET2007 Montreal, Canada, Sept. 10, 2007 Organized and run in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2007 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2007/ ====================================================================== Purpose The advent of nano-technology and advances in communications has made it technologically feasible and economically viable to develop low-power devices that integrate general-purpose computing with multi-purpose sensing and wireless communications capabilities. It is expected that sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, to environmental, establishing ubiquitous wireless sensor networks that will pervade society redefining the way in which we live and work. Recently, in an attempt to integrate sensor networks in the fabric of human activities it has been recognized that it would be beneficial to augment sensor networks by either actuators or actors. Actuators are simple devices programmed to take immediate, one-shot, action in response to sensory input. Actors are more sophisticated entities that, in addition to actuating can provide a meaningful, long-term, interaction with the environment. This long-term interaction presupposes intelligent coordination with both the sensory data but also with anticipated changes in the environment. The resulting augmented version of sensor networks is commonly referred to as Sensor Actor Networks (SANET). SANET 2007 has for stated goal to be a high-profile workshop that brings together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification, and implementation of architectures and protocols for current and future applications of SANETs. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in SANET * Modeling and simulation of SANET * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Distributed control in sensor-actor networks * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in SANET * Probabilistic integration in SANET * SANET control and management * SANET security and robustness * SANET architectural and operational models * Applications and prototypes Paper Submission Submit a full paper of about 8 pages (ACM single-space, double-column format), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. Accepted papers will be published by published by ACM Press and distributed at the workshop; copies of the Proceedings will also be available for sale from ACM after the workshop. Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system Important Dates Manuscript Submission: May 14, 2007, 11:59 GMT Acceptance Notification: June 18, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: July 13, 2007 Program Co-Chairs Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Swittzerland Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA David Simplot-Ryl, University of Lille, INRIA, France Program Committee see web site. _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290

Nonetheless, their performance evaluation and analysis have been conducted mostly through software simulations (e.g. using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Very recently, some research efforts have been directed towards measuring real-world commercial and experimental networks; constructing models based on real-world data and using prototypes to more realistically and comprehensively evaluate the suggested solutions and more specifically validate the assumptions and the conclusions reached via the simulation approach. The monitoring, measurements, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks poses a new set of unique challenges due to the unique inherent properties of these systems and due to the characteristics of the wireless transmission medium. The aim of this workshop, whose 1st edition was held in 2006 in Torremolinos (Spain), is to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of performance measurements, monitoring, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks, including, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: IEEE Wireless Comm. Mag. Special issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Mobility Management in All-IP Mobile Networks" Datum: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 09:46:49 +0300 Von: Nikos Passas <passas(a)di.uoa.gr> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Mobility Management in All-IP Mobile Networks" The success of next generation mobile networks will rely much on the degree of seamless mobility support among heterogeneous technologies. Seamless mobility is a many-faceted challenge that needs to be addressed to alleviate or eliminate today's restrictions on supported media, access technologies, devices or vendors. As we move in this direction, maintaining reliability, availability, quality of service and security at optimal levels across different systems is extremely important. Most modern mobile access technologies include advanced mechanisms for the support of intra-system handover and mobility to ensure seamless service provision. These mechanisms require proper parameterization and real-time adjustment according to a large range of traffic, QoS and channel conditions. On the other hand, inter-system handover and mobility management across heterogeneous networks are challenging problems that require efficient and reliable interoperation of the various schemes deployed in the different systems. Furthermore, simultaneous mobility must be supported, i.e., when both end hosts are mobile and they move at the same time, the session should not be dropped (as may happen with Mobile IPv6). Recent efforts are focusing on providing seamless handover and service continuity among access systems through close coordination with the QoS support and resource management mechanisms. Effort is placed into architectures that integrate different access technologies under a common IP backbone so that seamless mobility support will exploit the benefits of each technology. Several standardization activities are currently underway by different bodies. 802.21 is an IEEE emerging standard that aims at enabling seamless handover between networks of the same type as well as handover between different network types, also called Media Independent Handover (MIH). The standard provides information to allow handing over to and from several popular networks through different handover mechanisms. 3GPP is defining mobility from circuit-switched to IMS domain in the form of voice call continuity (VCC) and seamless mobility between different packet-switched domains belonging to existing and evolving 3GPP access networks and non-3GPP access networks as a part of System Architecture Evolution effort. This special issue will be devoted to the architectures, protocols, and mechanisms for mobility management and seamless handover support in next generation mobile networks. We seek original, high-quality and previously unpublished contributions, not currently under review by another magazine or journal. Contributions emphasizing recent advances and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Handovers in IEEE 802.16e - Handovers in Evolved UMTS - Comparison between 3GPP and IETF MM protocols - Mobility between 3GPP and non-3GPP radio access networks - Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) - Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management (HMIPv6) - Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers for 3G, WMANs and WLANs - Mobility Management using Proxy Mobile IPv4/v6 - Localized Mobility Management - Simultaneous mobility support (when both end hosts are mobile) - Architectures and protocols for mobility management in heterogeneous environments - Seamless intra- and inter-system handover - Media Independent Handovers (IEEE 802.21) - Security issues / solution in mobility management - Inter-domain mobility: AAA and other architectures and protocols All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.

Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION: FULL PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent. POSTER/DEMOS: Poster papers are an opportunity to present initial results and obtain feedback on on-going research. We also welcome submissions for demonstrations that showcase original research, practical implementations and realistic applications of wireless sensor networks. Poster/demo papers must be restricted to 2 camera- ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: Mobicom 2007 Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS) Datum: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:00:07 +0300 Von: Joerg Ott <jo(a)NETLAB.TKK.FI> Antwort an: Joerg Ott <jo(a)NETLAB.TKK.FI> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Second Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS) 2007 ==================================================== [updated deadlines] Co-located with Mobicom 2007, 14 September 2007, Montreal, QC, Canada http://chants-2007.netlab.tkk.fi/ Challenged networks are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes and widely varying network conditions. Nodes in today's challenged networks often include mobile nodes, space-based nodes, sensor/actuator nodes and other devices. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries can also be regarded as challenged networks as can be ad-hoc communication between personal devices. The Internet protocol architecture suffers some problems when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. We specifically solicit papers in the following areas: * Characterization of performance-challenged networks, e.g.m network measurements * Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks * Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks * System architecture and design for challenged networks * Applications in challenged networks * Robust network application design and implementation techniques * Delay tolerant and disruption tolerant networks (DTN) * Configuration and management of challenged networks Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as architectural papers addressing new concerns. Papers that bring out problems in the existing proposals for challenged networks or that report operational experience will be favored. Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on evolving this area of network research and continuing to build its community. In addition, we seek submission of demo proposals, also to be reviewed by the TPC. The demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable, too. Paper Format and Submission --------------------------- Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS. Papers will be reviewed single blind. Paper submission URI: http://edas.info/5526 Important Dates (updated!) -------------------------- Paper registration deadline: 15 May 2007 Paper submission deadline: 18 May 2007 Demo submission deadline: 4 June 2007 Notification of acceptance: 18 June 2007 Camera Ready Deadline: 13 July 2007 Workshop Date: 14 September 2007 Workshop Chairs --------------- Jörg Ott Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Rajesh Krishnan BBN Technologies Steering Committee ------------------ Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Institute of Technology Christophe Diot, Thomson Research, Paris, France Deborah Estrin, University of California, Los Angeles Kevin Fall, Intel Research Berkeley Jörg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland James Scott, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK Technical Program Committee --------------------------- Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Institute of Technology Prithwish Basu, BBN Technologies Scott Burleigh, NASA/JPL Chen-Nee Chuah, University of California, Davis Mooi Choo Chuah, Lehigh University Vania Conan, Thales Architecture Framework Centre Marco Conti, IIT-CNR Christophe Diot, Thomson Deborah Estrin, University of California at Los Angeles Kevin Fall, Intel Research Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin Silvia Giordano, University of Applied Science - SUPSI Stephen Hailes, UCL Sushant Jain, Google Gunnar Karlsson, KTH, Royal Institute of Technology Srinivasan Keshav, University of Waterloo Dirk Kutscher, University of Bremen Jeremie Leguay, Univ.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Reminder: IEEE JSAC Special issue on Delay and Disruption Tolerant Wireless Communication Datum: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 08:42:55 +0200 Von: Gunnar Karlsson <gk(a)ee.kth.se> Organisation: KTH EE/LCN An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <op.tl1jz8qxn59yhn(a)gukalcngx620.s3.kth.se> CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications DELAY AND DISRUPTION TOLERANT WIRELESS COMMUNICATION Modern computer communication has been developed for providing conti- nuous end-to-end connectivity. There are, however, communication services that are tolerant to disruptions and delay and do not require or cannot be given continuous connectivity. It is time to consider the unconnected network. This issue is dedicated to communication over wireless networks with inter- mittent connectivity due to planned or unexpected disruptions that may result in long delays for the communicating parties. Communication dis- ruptions occur both in infrastructure and ad-hoc wireless networks. In both cases, it is possible that mobile nodes cooperatively forward data for one another through their own movements. The mobility patterns of nodes affect thereby both the speed and reliability of data forwarding. Inter- mittent communication occurs also in sensor networks due to, e.g., energy- saving sleep cycles, and in deep-space communication and meteor-burst communication. The communication services that may use such intermittent and high-delay connections are characterized by a low degree of inter- activity, e.g., broadcasting, messaging, and data collection. Opportunistic strategies for caching and communicating may improve the performance in terms of reduced delay and improved probability of delivery. This issue of J-SAC is dedicated to technologies, systems designs and analyses that contribute to the development and understanding of delay and disruption tolerant wireless communication systems. Original contributions, previously unpublished and not currently under review, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following. * Data encoding for partial and unordered delivery * User studies of delay and disruption tolerances * Opportunistic caching and pre-fetching for concealment of service disruptions * Mobility measurements, modeling and performance analysis * Uni-, any-, and multicast routing protocols * Congestion, flow and error control; per-hop and multi-hop solutions * Security, privacy, authenticity and traceability of communication * Energy saving strategies and power management * Applications to personal communication, sensor networks, road-traffic systems and industrial communication Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/.
