[Fwd: [Tccc] ICMAN'07 Deadline Extended to Oct. 10]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ICMAN'07 Deadline Extended to Oct. 10 Datum: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 16:59:06 -0500 (CDT) Von: Dr. Hongyi Wu <wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu> An: manet(a)ietf.org, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Paper submission deadline is extended to Oct. 10. [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2007, White Plains, NY March 19-23, 2007. http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~wu/ICMAN/ For close to quarter of a century, mobile communication has experienced an explosive growth, especially in the last decade or so. In particular, one area of mobile communication networks, the ad hoc networks, has attracted significant attention due to its challenging research problems. The ad hoc networks technology has spun off new research areas, such as mesh-based mobile networks and sensor networks. What characterizes nearly all of those mobile technologies is that during the exchange of information between the source and destination terminals, there exists a set of links which constitutes an end-to-end path over which the information can be exchanged. However, in some application scenarios, the connectivity between the mobile terminals does not always allow for creation of such a path. This could be due to very sparse network conditions (low node density) or due to unstable connectivity conditions (interference, fading, etc). Thus, in such scenarios, it would be often difficult, or even impossible, to form a well-connected mesh network for transmitting data through established end-to-end connections. In fact, even if there temporarily exists a path in the network for some portion of the communication, it is likely that the terminals will only be intermittently connected due to mobility. A simple example is that in a WLAN environment, mobile users may be connected to an AP for a while before moving out of its coverage, and then getting connected to a different AP. More examples are found in environments without access to infrastructure at all. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to intermittently connected mobile ad hoc networks (ICMAN), which encompasses the scope of delay or disruption tolerant networks (or DTN), and bringing together state-of-the-art contributions in this emerging area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - New architecture design - Novel transport and routing protocols - Reliability and fault tolerance - Energy, processing power and storage requirement - Mobility modeling and mobility management - Localization and node synchronization - Security, privacy and incentives for co-operation - Resource allocation and QoS support - Performance analysis and evaluation - Delay-tolerant applications - Testbed implementation and experimental results Important Dates: - Submission deadline: Oct. 10, 2006 - Notification of acceptance: Nov. 22, 2006 - Camera-ready papers due: Dec. 22, 2006 - Workshop date: March 19-23, 2007 Submission Instructions : Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages.

[Fwd: [Tccc] 1st CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature Topic on QoS Control in Next Generation Networks]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 1st CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature Topic on QoS Control in Next Generation Networks Datum: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 13:45:37 -0500 Von: Widjaja, Indra (Indra) <iwidjaja(a)research.bell-labs.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on QoS Control in Next Generation Networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- In next generation networks, the service plane and the transport plane will be decoupled and independent. This is clearly evident from various emerging standards such as 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem, 3GPP2 Multi-Media Domain, ITU-T Next Generation Network, ETSI TISPAN, Packet Cable Multimedia Architecture and Multi Service Forum. All of these architectures have the following in common: (1) the service plane that transfers service information (e.g., SIP, HTTP) and manages service resources to enable advanced user services (e.g., IPTV, push-to-talk), and (2) the transport plane that delivers end-to-end user packets and manages transport resources. This architectural approach enables the service plane and the transport plane to be developed independently, and provides support for different access technologies based on fixed (twisted copper cable, coaxial cable, fiber) and wireless media. A critical component in these architectures is a logical entity that has a northbound interface to the service plane and southbound interface to the transport plane to provide the linkage between the two planes. This entity has been called by different functional names including policy server, policy decision function (PDF), policy and charging rules function (PCRF), resource and admission control function (RACF) and bandwidth manager. Although the entity also performs functions such as charging control and security control, this Feature Topic will only focus on QoS-related functions such as admission control, QoS mapping from service plane (e.g., SDP) to transport plane (e.g., DSCP marking, policing parameters, etc.), resource monitoring and resource reservation, and gate control. While the standards development organizations have been working on the protocol specifications, much work is needed in the design and performance aspects of this entity in order to provide end-to-end QoS services in a scalable manner. For example, it is of interest to have concrete designs to handle scenarios where end-to-end user packets traverse multiple domains, each of which is managed by its own PDF. Papers that are tutorial in nature are strongly recommended. Suggested areas include (but are not limited to) the following subject categories: * Overview and comparison of PDF functions in relevant standards such as ITU-NGN, ETSI TISPAN, 3GPP/3GPP2 and Packet Cable * Test beds, lab/field trials, and lessons learned from early deployment * Issues in overall QoS architectures with decoupled service and transport planes * QoS support at the service control function (IMS and non-IMS) or at the policy enforcement function * Multidomain admission control and end-to-end performance * Transport plane performance monitoring such as TRC-FE in ITU-NGN * Policy rules and policy decisions * Authorization, reservation and commitment of network resources in pull and push models * QoS mapping from service plane to transport plane * Algorithms for optimizing transport resources, service provisioning performance or other performance enhancement Schedule: Full manuscript due: March 1, 2007 Acceptance notification: May 15, 2007 Final manuscript due: July 1, 2007 Publication date: September 2007 Submission: Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue on Cross-Layer Optimized Wireless Sensor Networks Datum: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 12:51:48 +0200 Von: DOHLER Mischa RD-TECH-GRE <mischa.dohler(a)orange-ft.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: Stavros Toumpis <toumpis(a)ucy.ac.cy>, "Prof. Lionel Ni" <ni(a)cs.ust.hk> Dear colleagues, You are kindly invited to submit papers according to below CFP for a special JWCN journal issue on sensor networks. Kind regards, Mischa. ________________________________ Dr Mischa Dohler France Telecom R&D Senior Research Expert Tel: +33 4 76 76 45 14 Fax: +33 4 76 76 44 50 Mob: +33 6 74 70 86 75 Eml: mischa.dohler(a)orange-ft.com Www: google "Mischa Dohler" ________________________________ EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Special Issue on Novel Techniques for Analysis & Design of Cross-Layer Optimized Wireless Sensor Networks Sensor networks have been researched and deployed for decades; their wireless extension, however, has witnessed a tremendous upsurge in recent years. This is mainly attributed to the unprecedented operating conditions of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), i.e. - a potentially enormous amount of sensor nodes, - reliably operating under stringent energy constraints. The virtually infinite degrees of freedom of wireless sensor networks have ignited intense research activities, which in turn led to thousands of publications, white papers and patents in less than a decade, with new contributions emerging on a daily basis. The rich mathematical and technical toolboxes already available from the design of wireless cellular and ad hoc systems clearly aided the birth of new ideas tailored to the problems in WSNs. To date, the main problem in deploying WSNs is their dependence on limited battery power. A main design criterion is to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable and efficient communications from sensor nodes to other nodes or to data sinks. A prominent example of today's non-optimized WSN deployment experiences is that the start-up alone costs the network half its battery power. Optimizing every facet of the communication protocols is therefore vital and imperative. Such stringent design requirements can be met by a plethora of approaches, e.g. optimizing each layer of the protocol stack separately (traditional) or jointly (cross-layer), for each node separately (traditional) or for an ensemble of nodes (distributed and cooperative), etc. This has led to copious novel distributed signal processing algorithms, energy-efficient medium access control and fault-tolerant routing protocols, self-organizing and self-healing sensor network mechanisms, etc. In the light of the above, the main purpose of this special issue is twofold: - to obtain a coherent and concise technical synthesis from the abundance of recently emerged material in the area of WSNs, and - to promote novel approaches in analyzing, designing and optimizing large-scale WSNs, preferably inspired by approaches from other disciplines, such as physics or biology. Very few papers are currently available which synthesize the large amount of fairly dispersed technical contributions; a coherent exposure, also touching upon open research issues, will certainly be appreciated by the academic and industrial research community. We believe that novel approaches, potentially inspired by entirely disjoint disciplines, may help considerably in dealing with networks of thousands of nodes. Topics of interest in the area of energy-constraint WSNs include, but are not limited to: - network capacity w/out imperfections - joint source and channel coding - cooperative and distributed signal processing - data fusion and data aggregation - novel PHY, MAC and network paradigms - cross-layer and cross-functionality design - security, robustness, reliability - self-healing, self-stabilization, self-organization - applications, architectures and topologies - (macroscopic) information flows - physically and biologically inspired approaches Submission details can be found under (copy entire link): http://www.hindawi.com/GetPage.aspx?journal=WCN&page=CLOWS.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] TERENA Networking Conference TNC 2007 - Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 11:26:35 +0200 Von: Thomas C Schmidt <schmidt(a)informatik.haw-hamburg.de> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS TERENA Networking Conference 2007 21 - 24 May Lyngby, Denmark Visible Services - Transparent Networks The TERENA Networking Conference 2007 is organised by the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association and hosted by UNI-C, the Danish IT centre for education and research. The conference will be held at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby, a vibrant university town just north of Copenhagen. Transportation will be provided between Lyngby and the city of Copenhagen where most of the hotels and social events are located. TERENA Networking Conferences are well-established events focusing on new directions, trends and technology. The conference brings together leading figures from research, management, industry and governance to present and discuss the technical and strategic aspects of the provision of networks and services to the research and education community. In the modern world the availability of fresh water, gas and electricity in our homes is taken for granted to such an extent that we rarely have to think about the underlying infrastructure. As the exchange of information and networked service becomes more pervasive and integrated into every aspect of our lives, it is important that this infrastructure acquires the same degree of transparency. The underlying network infrastructure needs to become more transparent, so that we can focus all of our attention on providing applications that deliver high quality services that are easy and intuitive to use. In this way it should be possible to raise the visibility of services above that of the supporting technology. It is my pleasure to invite you to bring your experiences, ideas and results to TNC 2007 and share them with colleagues from the international research and education networking community. Thomas C. Schmidt Programme Committee Chair CONFERENCE TOPICS Extended abstracts (rather than full papers) are invited on all subjects relevant to the spirit and objectives of the conference: to present, discuss and learn about the latest developments in networking technology for the research and education community and their use by the community. The topics below are an indication of the planned scope of the conference, but are not meant to be restrictive. VISIBLE SERVICES * Connecting Users - voice over IP, videoconferencing, streaming and immersive environments * Protecting Users - user privacy, legislative issues and policies, delegations and spam fighting * Enabling Users - bandwidth-on-demand, mobility and roaming, identity management, federations and location-based services * Novel Uses - e-science, e-arts/humanities, environmental monitoring, advanced and mobile Web technologies and content networks TRANSPARENT NETWORKS * Quality Infrastructure - quality of service, measurement and monitoring, high-speed/optical networks and service management * Protecting the Infrastructure - redundancy, intrusion detection and prevention and security design * Beyond the Infrastructure - autonomous networks, peer-to-peer, mobile ad hoc networks, overlays, storage and sensor networks * Getting to the Infrastructure - access networks, bridging the gap on campus and advanced mobile technologies Extended abstracts of 600 - 1200 words (rather than full papers) can be submitted via the drop box at: http://tnc2007.terena.nl/submit/ The deadline for submission is *30 November 2006* and authors should follow the submission and formatting instructions for extended abstracts.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP, Special issue on End-to-end Support over Heterogeneous Wired-Wireless Networks Datum: Sun, 17 Sep 2006 22:52:25 -0400 Von: Kang-won Lee <kangwon(a)us.ibm.com> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: bjornl(a)it.usyd.edu.au This announcement is being forwarded on behalf of Dr. Bjorn Landfeldt. CFP, Special issue on End-to-end Support over Heterogeneous Wired-Wireless Networks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Computer Communications Special Issue on End-to-end Support over Heterogeneous Wired-Wireless Networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In recent years, many networking technologies have emerged and have been deployed to enable ubiquitous Internet access anywhere, anytime, using a wide range of devices. In particular, we have witnessed the rapid proliferation of different types of wireless communication networks including Cellular, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Bluetooth, WiMax, etc which are widely being used as extensions to the wired Internet infrastructure. In addition to the convergence of heterogeneous wired-wireless networks, the issue of mobility of end-users has also become a central issue of the evolving heterogeneous mobile Internet. There are still many research challenges that need to be addressed to enable seamless, transparent, wireless access to Internet services for mobile end-users. This special issue will provide insights into some of the latest research network design approaches, techniques, and technologies that can provide architectural, protocol, connectivity, mobility, Quality of Service (QoS) support on an end-to-end basis over the underlying IP-based wired-wireless Internet infrastructure for emerging mobile wireless Internet applications with diverse requirements. We expect this Special issue to provide innovative, flexible, and scalable solutions that can be widely deployed and adopted by end-users. We are particularly interested in research contributions that cover experimental activities involving the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of novel prototype architectures, protocols, and services related to end-to-end support over heterogeneous (i.e., wired-wireless) networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: QoS support over heterogeneous networks QoS routing and signaling Middleware platforms and technologies Transport protocols Congestion control Admission control Cross-layer design issues in wired/wireless networks Handoff management Mobility management IP mobility System support infrastructures and services Service deployment and adaptation Multimedia Communications Multimedia services and protocols Seamless internetworking designs and architectures Resource management Security issues, architectures, and protocols Position and tracking technologies Location services Power management for communications Pricing, charging, accounting issues IMPORTANT DATES Full papers due: January 15, 2007 Notification of acceptance/revision/rejection: February 26, 2007 Revised manuscript due: March 19, 2007 Final manuscript due: April 2, 2007 Publication date: 2007 Papers submitted for consideration for this special issue must be written in English and describe original research not published or currently under review by other journals and conferences.

Mesh networks share many properties with ad hoc networks, but they also differ in many ways. Fundamentally, however, the technology builds on multi-hop wireless routing of data from access nodes to gateways to fixed network infrastructure. Even though these networks have emerged quite recently, there are already many deployments in different parts of the world, creating a situation where commercialization has taken place while the technology is relatively immature. Because of the promising commercial potential of such networks, it is important to understand the limitations and artefacts that are specific to these networks and how they affect applications utilising them for successful deployment of robust and well-behaving systems. It is also important to find mechanisms and solutions that address these specifics early on in the deployment to minimise the impact they may have in the long run. This special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing is seeking high-quality original unpublished research articles that describe recent advances in the understanding of mesh network behaviour, finding of such artefacts, and solutions to address them. ************************************************************************** Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Mesh Network: * Traffic modeling * Routing, scheduling, and queuing * Network formation and planning * Mobility aspects and their impact on network performance * Security issues * Application behavior and QoS management * Multi-channel and multi-radio systems, channel assignment ------- Submission guidelines ------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts to http://ees.elsevier.com/jpdc.
