-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Communications Feature Topic CFP Datum: Tue, 27 Feb 2007 13:23:17 +1100 Von: Abbas Jamalipour <a.jamalipour(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: Abbas Jamalipour <a.jamalipour(a)ieee.org> Dear colleagues, I would like to encourage you to submit a paper to the IEEE Communications, Feature Topic on "New Trends in Mobile Internet Technologies and Applications". Deadline for paper submissions is June 1, 2007. Below is the details of the CFP. Regards, Abbas Jamalipour ----------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on New Trends in Mobile Internet Technologies and Applications The mobile Internet technology and its related applications and services have been greatly progressed in the past few years and now we see many tiny terminals with integrated multi-function chips in the market. However, at the same time we observe a kind of separation between the technology development and the common Internet applications that the customers usually use. This had led to the underutilization of mobile device capabilities such as mobile video and mobile television that come as part of new mobile devices. While for many people using specific Internet applications would be more comfortable with large screen desktops, the mobility freedom provided by the cellular and non-cellular mobile technologies suggest closer connections to the applications should be developed so that users can receive most of their communications needs from their mobile devices. In this Feature Topic we solicit papers from respective industry and academia which demonstrate new activities on how applications become more "mobile centric". Browsing the Internet on a small screen would not be as useful and fun as one might experience on a large laptop screen. But is this really related to the screen size or due to the mismatch between the mobile and Internet technologies? Without an efficient work on this important area, we will continue using our mobile phones features for less communicative purposes (e.g. using mobile phone camera for merely taking photos). The Feature Topic covers several layers of the communication protocol stack. Having a unified URL addressing for both mobile and fixed devices for example is a topic related mainly to the application layer, while the convergence of different access network including wireless LAN and cellular 3G and beyond to accommodate sufficient data rate at all times to users is a topic covered by physical layer up to the transport layer. The other aspect of this Feature Topic is to present some novel and emerging technologies that may expand the use of advanced mobile devices including the use of these devices for example as part of a ubiquitous wireless navigation system. With the enhanced chip and battery design it is possible to think of mobile phones as sensor elements that can simplify and at the same time extend the navigation systems to terrestrial networks. Focused tutorial and survey contributions as well as research and standardization papers are solicited related to the above areas on following subject categories: " New services for broadband mobile Internet " Service characterization for mobile environment " Mobile terminal usage simplification " Mobile Internet domain in 3G/WLAN/WiMax networks " Mobile/fixed domain Internet address convergence " Mobile terminal self-recognition and adoption " Navigation service in cellular networks " Base station free mobile communications " All-in-one terminals for mobile Internet " Application-based spectrum configuration " Mobile device usage and capability expansion " Related IEEE, IETF, ITU standardization activities Paper Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles may be edited for clarity and grammatical accuracy, and will be copyedited according to the Magazine's style. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations could be allowed, provided the consent of the Guest Editor; more than three equations require permission from the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should have no more than 4,500 words, no more than 6 tables/figures, and no more than 15 references. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com). Choose "January 2008/Mobile Internet Technologies and Applications". Papers must be submitted by June 1, 2007. Accepted papers will be also included in Communications Interactive (CI), the online version of Communications Magazine. Manuscript Due June 1, 2007 Acceptance Notification September 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due November 1, 2007 Publication Date January 2008 Guest Editors Abbas Jamalipour Email: a.jamalipour(a)ieee.org Mohammed Atiquzzaman E-mail: atiq(a)ou.edu ----------------- -------------------------------------- Abbas Jamalipour, PhD Fellow IEEE, Fellow Engineers Australia, IEEE Distinguished Lecturer Editor-in-Chief, IEEE Wireless Communications --------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * The architectural framework of personalized networks * Context awareness and support * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and accounting * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program will consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: Advances in Wireless VoIP Datum: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 19:40:03 -0000 Von: Salkintzis Apostolis-Y1026C <salki(a)motorola.com> An: <multicomm(a)comsoc.org> Dear all, As part of our QoSIG activities, myself and Qian Zhang are organizing the special issue in IEEE Commun shown below. Your contributions are more than welcome. --- Apostolis Salkintzis, //Ph.D.// Motorola E-mail: salki(a)motorola.com <mailto:salki@motorola.com> /Call for Papers/ /IEEE Communications Magazine/ Feature Topic on *Advances in Wireless VoIP* * * Beginning as a frolic among computer enthusiasts, VoIP has managed to set off a feeding frenzy in both the industrial and scientific communities and has the potential to radically change telephone communications. Wireless VoIP in particular has been one of the hottest topics lately and has gathered considerable momentum mainly due to its potential to provide new wireless telephony experiences and tight integration with Internet services. As VoIP holds considerable appeal both from the users’ and service providers’ viewpoint, and as consumers get used to more and more fixed VoIP services, the demand to migrate these services to wireless environments is ramping up quickly. However, there are still several challenges that need to be dealt with when VoIP technologies are deployed in wireless networks. Issues such as bandwidth efficiency, scheduling and QoS, handover latency / loss in heterogeneous access networks, as well as call setup delay, resource reservation and call continuity in different environments, still raise unique technical challenges associated with wireless VoIP transmission.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Autonomics'07 in Rome - CFP Datum: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 01:00:14 -0500 Von: Jian (Neil) Tang <tang(a)cs.montana.edu> An: tccc <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ***** AUTONOMICS ***** First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics-conference.eu/ 28-30 October 2007, Rome (Italy) In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics?7 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: April 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2007 Final version due: September 5, 2007 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [mycolleagues] CFP-IEEE ICAC Workshop QoS in Autonomic Communication Networks 2006 Datum: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 11:26:57 +0000 Von: Ricardo Lent <r.lent(a)imperial.ac.uk> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ======================================================================== Call for Papers - IEEE ICAC Workshop QoS in Autonomic Communication Networks 2006 Jacksonville, Florida, USA Paper submissions: Mar 20, 2007 Conference: June 11-15, 2007 ======================================================================== ICAC is organising a special workshop on the increasingly significant field of autonomic communication networks (ACN). ACN are self-aware systems that promise clear advantages to users and network providers over previous technologies and may change the way we think about the design, management and use of communication networks. With ACN, users could benefit from reliable and dynamically adaptable communication networks with minimal effort in configuration and operation, which could in turn dramatically reduce costs of operation and management of communication infrastructures. A significant requirement for such systems is the ability to maintain a desired degree of quality of service despite their dynamic nature. ACN are novel systems and their design and study are complex activities with many challenges and open questions to be properly addressed. The workshop will encourage the interaction among researchers in the field and will promote the exchange of ideas. We welcome original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of ACN, including, but not limited to the following: - Provision of quality of service in autonomic communications - Self-maintained and self-configurable communications - Self-protecting communication networks and computer networks - Monitoring and self-managing in ACN - QoS in autonomic mobile ad-hoc networks - Evaluation and demonstration tools: analytical models, simulators, network test-beds, libraries, middleware, etc. - Software engineering techniques and best practices for developing autonomic networks - Performance analysis of ACN - Balancing of desired properties, e.g. self-adaptation Vs. self-protection and experimental evaluation measurements - Interaction of autonomic networking systems with legacy Networking protocols - Applications of autonomic networks to the creation of new services (grid computing, pervasive computing, etc.) Paper length should be limited to 15 pages double-column in IEEE format. You can download the template for latex here or here. High quality submissions will be considered and evaluated for publication in a premier journal.

YouTube, for example, is reported to have about 100 million short videos streamed a day and incurs bandwidth cost on the order of a million dollars a month. Internet TV (IPTV) is a novel Internet application and represents a good opportunity of integrating video, voice, and data onto a single IP network. It has the promise to offer viewers an innovative set of choices and controls over the TV content. Several major U.S. telecommunication companies have big investments to replace the copper lines in their networks with fiber optic cables in order to provide sufficient capacity to deliver a large number of TV channels to their residential customers. Many content providers (e.g. CBS, AOL, Disney, etc) have begun to offer video streaming or download services over Internet. According to a new report published by Informa Telecoms & Media, the number of IPTV subscribers will jump tenfold by 2010. Multimedia (video, audio and data) services over WWW face many technology challenges and scalability/quality problems. In the past few years, many new technologies have been proposed (e.g. P2P, caching, QoS, multi-layer encoding, etc.) and implemented to address the challenges. Building upon our success of the IPTV workshop last year (jointly held with WWW'06), this workshop intends to bring together researchers and developers from industry and academy to discuss the technological advances and challenges in providing multimedia services over WWW. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: o Multimedia middleware platforms o Wireless multimedia services o Performance analysis of multimedia systems o Peer to peer systems o Content distribution technologies for multimedia systems o Voice over IP, Instant Messaging, and distributed on-line gaming o New service infrastructure for IPTV and multimedia o New multimedia applications using WWW o Digital Home Entertainment o Experience reports for IPTV and multimedia services Technical program of last year's workshop can be found at http://zhenxiao.com/iptv2006/final_program.htm. Submission information and requirements for this year's workshop can be found at: http://www2007.org/submission-workshops.php Important dates: * Submission deadline: February 26 (Mon), 2007 * Notification: March 12 (Mon), 2007 * Camera ready: March 26 (Mon), 2007 * Conference Day: May 8, 2007 PC Members * Homer H.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiOpp 2007]: Announcement and Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 13:38:08 +0100 Von: Andrea Passarella <a.passarella(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Andrea Passarella <a.passarella(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Our apologies for possible duplicates of this message] ======================================================================== ====== CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users' communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to- end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: INFOCOM 2007 High Speed Networks Workshop (Abstracts due March 5th) Datum: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 16:59:19 -0600 Von: Byrav Ramamurthy <byrav(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, Please find below the Call for Papers for the INFOCOM 2007 High-Speed Networks Workshop to be held on May 11, 2007 in Anchorage, Alaska. Thanks Nasir Ghani Byrav Ramamurthy TPC Co-chairs, High-Speed Networks Workshop ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE INFOCOM 2007 HIGH-SPEED NETWORKS WORKSHOP ============================================== Anchorage, Alaska, May 11th, 2007 http://iweb.tntech.edu/nghani/infocom/index.htm Sponsored by ------------ United States Department of Energy, Office of Science Technical Co-Sponsorship by --------------------------- IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking (TCHSN) IEEE ComSoc Optical Networking Technical Committee (ONTC) Several e-Science applications have already demonstrated the need for agile networks operating well beyond 100 Gbps. Moreover, current trends point towards the need for a sustained terabits/sec end-to-end throughput and unprecedented levels of scalability to accommodate the requirements of emerging applications in a broad range of domains, including entertainment, computational monitoring and steering, multi-scale simulation and combustion modeling, remote instrumentation, and network-based visualization. Several attempts have been made to address emergent bandwidth needs by deploying larger capacities in the network core. Increasing physical-layer transmission speeds, however, has not yielded dramatic increases in end-to-end user-level throughputs. Moreover, the limitations of current network protocols and traffic engineering frameworks have proven to be a serious impediment to large-scale deployment of distributed bandwidth-intensive applications. To overcome these limitations, there is a critical need for novel "clean-state" approaches which transcend the traditional methodologies, network architectures and protocols used today . This workshop is designed to provide a unique forum to explore new frontiers in the area of ultra high-speed and high-performance networks, not constrained by the features and limitations of current networks, with a particular focus on enabling large-scale distributed e-Science applications. The objective is to facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas among members research community centered on the design, validation and deployment of ultra-high speed network architectures and protocols to support the end-to-end requirements of bandwidth-intensive applications in a transparent and optimal manner. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Innovative "clean-slate" network architectures for next generation ultra-high speed networks * Switching technologies including packet, burst and circuit switching * Ultra high-speed transport protocols * Novel approaches and strategies for highly secure ultra-high speed networks, protocols and systems * Dynamic provisioning in ultra high-speed optical networks * Control and signaling plane technologies (GMPLS, UNI, NNI, etc.) * Application optimized network middleware * Novel protocols and mechanisms for large-volume data transfers over long distances * High-speed I/O and storage systems * Remote visualizations and instrumentation design and tools * Remote computational monitoring and steering tools and mechanisms Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract in PDF format. All abstract submissions should be emailed to the TPC co-chairs at nghani(a)tntech.edu and byrav(a)cse.unl.edu and will be acknowledged. Authors will be notified about the selected abstracts and requested to provide final presentation slides and extended paper versions (up to 5 pages in length). These materials will be compiled on to CD format in advance of the event and distributed to the registered attendees. Additionally, the extended papers will also be published in the IEEE Xplore listings.

Ad hoc wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity with complete lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The last few years have witnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad hoc and sensor networks that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. Such networks can be randomly and rapidly deployed and reconfigured and easily tailored to specific applications including entertainment, civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance due to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication. Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop to multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several challenges face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous deployment of ad hoc and sensor networks. These include variable topology, device heterogeneity, limited power supply and the lack of effective energy-efficient design, lack of QoS and application support, etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

UbiComp 2007 invites original, high-quality research papers in the areas of ubiquitous, mobile, embedded, and handheld computing. The conference provides a forum for original research that enables new capabilities, appropriate security and privacy, improved user experiences, and simplified and powerful development and deployment practices. In addition, we are interested in studies of existing and emerging technologies, everyday use of technologies, and insightful commentary on the state of the field. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers on the following topics: * Inferring the state of the user, such as location, activity, intentions, resources, and capabilities in the past, present, and future * Developing ubicomp systems, including representations, architecture, middleware, resource management, and service discovery * Embedding computation for new user interfaces, assistive technologies, communication, novel sensors, intelligent environments, wearable computing, and continuous monitoring and actuation * Building ubicomp systems for health, gaming, socializing, and other applications * Ensuring user trust through privacy and security * Understanding ubicomp and its consequences through conceptual models, hard-won experience, user studies, business scenarios, and real deployments UbiComp has a history of being a very selective conference, and there is no desire to reduce expectations on quality. In an effort to enhance the breadth of the conference, we aim to increase the number of accepted full papers to approximately 40 for this year, which is up from 30 last year and 22 the year before. Presentations will be scheduled in a dualtrack format. The conference will institute a process for nominating and selecting awards for best paper and presentations at the conference. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee and by selected expert reviewers. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of contribution, technical correctness, overall appeal to the general UbiComp reader, and presentation. Papers submitted must not have been previously published nor currently under review for any publication with an ISBN, ISSN, or DOI number. If submitted work may appear to overlap with the authors' previous work, the authors should email the PC chairs (pcchairs(a)ubicomp2007.org) directly to explain how the new work is different. All reviewers will be instructed to keep submissions confidential, although submissions must be publishable by the cameraready deadline. Accepted papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), and all submissions should be formatted according to their guidelines (http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-72376-0). Misformatted submissions, or those longer than 18 pages, are subject to rejection without review. Shorter submissions will not be penalized, and each submission's length should be appropriate for its content. One author from each accepted paper will be required to attend the conference to present their work. Paper submissions must be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors are encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize references that may reveal the identity of the authors or their institutions. Relevant references to an author's previous research should not be suppressed but instead referenced in a neutral way. Papers should be submitted as PDF files through PCS at https://precisionconference.com/~ubicomp. A PDF version of this CfP is also available (http://www.ubicomp2007.org/fileadmin/files/UbiComp2007-CfP-Main.pdf).
