Special issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Mobility Management in All-IP Mobile Networks" Datum: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 15:54:55 +0200 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.

The main motivation has been to address the challenges posed by the WSN paradigm, i.e., limited node power, processing, and communication capabilities, dense network deployment, multi-hop communications, and heterogeneous application-specific requirements. The vast majority of these studies applies to conventional WSN applications which need reliable and efficient communication of scalar event features and sensor data such as temperature, pressure, humidity. With the availability of low-cost small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, microphones, which may ubiquitously capture multimedia content from the field, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) have been proposed and drawn the immediate attention of the research community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems, require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video. To this end, additional challenges for energy-efficient multimedia processing and communication in WMSN, i.e., heterogeneous multimedia reliability definitions, tight QoS expectations, and high bandwidth demands, must be addressed as well. This special issue solicits papers describing the state-of-the-art, reliable and efficient multimedia processing and delivery solutions imperative for the realization of WMSN. Original contributions (previously unpublished and not currently under review) are solicited in areas including (but not limited to) the following: * Novel WMSN architectures and applications * Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming in WMSN * Energy-efficient MAC, routing, and traffic management for WMSN * Cross-layer design for effective communications in WMSN * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions for WMSN * Distributed source coding and multimedia processing in WMSN * Information fusion and multimedia aggregation in WMSN * Group and cooperative communications for multimedia delivery in sensor/actor networks * WMSN capacity modeling and theoretical analysis * Delay-tolerant networking for WMSN * Topology control, localization, synchronization, and mobility * Physical layer technologies for efficient WMSN * Secure multimedia communications in WMSN * Experimental and testbed studies of WMSN Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective Authors: Please follow Computer Networks (Elsevier) Journal format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC Special issue on Delay and Disruption Tolerant Wireless Communication Datum: Fri, 12 Jan 2007 13:37:10 +0100 Von: Gunnar Karlsson <gk(a)ee.kth.se> Organisation: KTH EE/LCN An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> 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.

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.

For broadband end-to-end mobile networking, the broadband wired networks (such as IP/MPLS with DWDM optical networks) will be converged with wireless networks (such as IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN, 802.16 Wireless MAN (WiBro, WiMax) and 3G/4G wireless cellular networks). Also, the IP-based telecommunication network will be converged with broadcast network to provide IP-based high-quality broadband multimedia broadcasting and multicasting. Several countries of strong Internet infrastructure are going to provide initial BcN commercial services soon. For efficient service provisioning on the broadband converged networks, well-designed and implemented network operations and management functions with traffic engineering are essential. ITU-T had been operating a special expert group called FGNGN (Focus Group on Next Generation Networks) to provide the architecture of NGN, and currently working on the network operations and management issues actively in Study Groups SG-13 and SG-11. IETF has some working groups on network operations and managements of IP/MPLS networks, but the operations and management for integrated networking with wired & wireless, telecommunication and broadcasting networks has not been actively covered yet. Following the successful “1st IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence Networks (BcN2006)” (April 7, 2006, Vancouver, Canada, in conjunction with IEEE/IFIP NOMS2006), the goal of this workshop is to gather people with different backgrounds to share the current status of standardization and technology development of BcN, to discuss challenges and possible solutions in the broadband networking for QoS-guaranteed real-time multimedia services on BcN. Areas of interest include the architectures, applications, and management issues of BcN.Topics of interest for this workshop include, but not limited to, the following: - Architecture and Standardization - Applications and Service Provisioning - QoS Management, Traffic Engineering - Inter-domain Networking - QoS-guaranteed multimedia service provisioning across broadband wired & wireless networks - Converged networking issues for telecommunication and broadcasting - Broadband Access networking with hybrid fiber optic and wireless network - Security issues on the convergence networks - Accounting and Billing - Seamless service provisioning with roaming and handover - Regulatory Issues - Automated resource management and service provisioning - Signaling for Application Sessions and Networking - Virtual Networks and Operators *Paper Submission* Authors are requested to submit a paper up to 12 pages (single-spaced single-column pages).

Through the use of mobile devices and devices embedded in the surrounding physical environments, users can be provided transparent computing and communication services at all times and in all places. The complexity of providing such services stems from the fact that the communication devices and the objects with which they interact may both be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services, and an understanding of the cross-layer interactions between all of these components. The Fourth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (Mobiquitous-07) will provide a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions, design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences needed to build successful ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, data management and services, all with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing. PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. Technical papers clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following feature topics as applied to mobile and ubiquitous environments: - Ubiquitous architectures, systems and applications - Wearable computing and personal area networks - Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi) - Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems - Ad hoc and sensor networks support for ubiquitous computing - Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks - Wireless/mobile service management and delivery - Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems - Service and knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms - Location-based services and tracking in ubiquitous environments - Context- and location-aware applications - Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems - Context modeling, services and frameworks - Toolkits, testbeds, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing - Rapid prototyping of ubiquitous applications - Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing - Mobile and ubiquitous data management and processing - Data replication, migration and dissemination in ubiquitous environments - Queries, transactions and workflows in mobile and ubiquitous environments - Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile) SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically (see the conference web page for details). Authors should prepare an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of their full paper. Papers must not exceed 8 pages double column (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references.
