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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: GI/KuVS-FG: Call For Papers: SAKS 2007 Datum: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 13:01:24 +0200 (CEST) Von: gi-mitglieder-info(a)gi-ev.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; *********** Call For Papers *********** S A K S 2 0 0 7 Selbstorganisierende, Adaptive, Kontextsensitive verteilte Systeme 1. März 2007, Bern / Schweiz im Rahmen der GI/ITG-Tagung "Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen" http://www.self-org.info/SAKS/ Motivation Vielfalt und Komplexität unserer IT-Landschaften nehmen stetig zu. Statische Konfiguration und manuelle Steuerung der Systeme werden in Zukunft der wachsenden Größe, Dynamik und Ubiquität der IT-Systeme nicht mehr gerecht. Stattdessen sind dynamische Anpassungsfähigkeit, autonomes Handeln und Selbstverwaltung gefordert. Häufig wird dieser Ansatz von Beispielen aus der Natur genährt: Ameisenkolonien und Fischschwärme dienen als Inspiration und Vorbilder für die Entwicklung selbstorganisierender und anpassungsfähiger Systeme. Die gegenwärtige fachliche Diskussion wird jedoch von Kontroversen beherrscht. Nicht einmal die Grundbegriffe sind unstrittig und es ist weitgehend unklar, wie diese so genannten Selbst-Eigenschaften in neue Systeme zielgerichtet eingebaut werden können. Der Workshop widmet sich den Themen Selbstorganisation, Kontextsensitivität und Adaptivität in verteilten Systemen. Dabei sind alle Belange verteilter Systeme von der Kommunikation über die Middleware bis zu den Anwendungen von Interesse. Der Themenbereich ist absichtlich weit abgesteckt, damit die inhärente Vielfalt und die zahlreichen Querbezüge diskutiert werden können. Nur so kann sich die Informatik diesem ungemein vielschichtigen Problemfeld nähern und zu konstruktiven Vorschlägen gelangen. Ziel Ziel des Workshops ist eine Fortsetzung der lebhaften Diskussion, die im Rahmen des gleichnamigen KuVS-Arbeitsgesprächs an der Universität Kassel am 23./24. März 2006 begonnen wurde (siehe www.self-org.info/SAKS). Die Bestandsaufnahme von Forschungs- und Entwicklungsaktivitäten, die im deutschsprachigen Raum auf dem beschriebenen Gebiet bearbeitet werden, soll fortgesetzt werden. Wir hoffen, dass der Workshop die Kooperation der beteiligten Akteure weiter stärkt und mittelfristig zu einer stärkeren internationalen Sichtbarkeit der deutschsprachigen Forschung und Entwicklung auf diesem Gebiet führt. Insbesondere ist die Teilnahme von Vertretern aus der Industrie erwünscht, um den Kontakt zur industriellen Praxis zu intensivieren und gemeinsame Interessen auszuloten. Themen und Beiträge Der Workshop soll primär der Diskussion und der Vernetzung der Akteure dienen.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP IEEE Network - Special Issue on "Advances in Network Systems Architecture" Datum: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 16:55:54 +0300 Von: Dimitrios Serpanos <serpanos(a)ee.upatras.gr> An: tcgn(a)comsoc.org Apologies for multiple copies! A PDF version of the CFP appears at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/CFP_IEEE_Network_ANSA_b.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Network Systems Architecture" ========================================== http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/CFP_IEEE_Network_ANSA_b.pdf http://netsys.ece.upatras.gr/ieeeANSA/ The architecture of network systems has been evolving as a specialized technical field for more than a decade. Special-purpose, sophisticated architectures of network systems and subsystems are necessary for the development and deployment of emerging and future networks and network services, because they constitute the only option for network equipment (residing at the network core or at its edge) that implement standardized network protocols in performance demanding environments. In this special issue, we focus on this increasingly important technical field. The last two decades have been characterized by significant advances in networking, leading to the development of a wide range of high-speed networks both in the wide and local area. The advances in cable, local loop, wireless and mobile networking in addition to the prevalence of Internet-based technologies that serve as the unifying networking substrate have enabled the development and deployment of network services (from digital libraries and on-line shopping to multi-player, real-time games) to an ever increasing populace. Furthermore, and in addition to supporting many of the same networking services, end-user network-enabled devices will be supporting pervasive and ubiquitous computing services and applications that will be facilitated by the widespread presence of networked embedded systems. The increasing requirements on packet networking have led to the development and deployment of complex network systems, i.e., systems that execute one or more network protocol stacks, such as switches, adapters, routers, etc. Effectively, these systems have evolved to specialized, complex computer systems composed of (possibly several) sophisticated high-speed processors, running operating systems that manage a large number of network (I/O) interfaces and executing several (possibly non-identical) protocol stacks. Additionally, all types of network-attached systems (from core network systems to personal devices) require advanced architectures for their network subsystems as well as for their integration with their computing and service components; for example, high-performance computing systems require high performance network attachments, while evolving consumer network devices --such as mobile computing systems, PDA’s and even mobile phones, which combine processors, memory, operating systems, browsers, office applications, etc.-- require reliable, secure, low power network subsystems with quality-of-service support, in order to satisfy the requirements of the various business- and residential-/entertainment-oriented applications they execute. The operational demands of all these network systems and subsystems place significant requirements on performance as well as on other system parameters, such as security, power consumption, etc., leading to the development of innovative architectures and components. Characteristic examples of the recent developments in this area are innovative high-speed adapters with specialized memory managers, multiprocessor based network adapters, network processors, specialized content addressable memories, virtual output queuing switches, QoS schedulers, security subsystems, network on chip solutions, etc. Author guidelines: ------------------ To expose and promote further this technical area to the broad networking community, it is our goal to publish original research and survey articles presenting the latest advances in network system and subsystem architectures. Contributions are solicited within the aforementioned scope of this special issue with emphasis on (excluding topics related to systems and protocols below the MAC protocol sub-layer): * Architectures for routers, bridges, switches, etc. * Architectural support for virtual networks (meta-nets): systems and subsystems * Network, protocol and service processors (architecture, programming, etc.) * Multiprocessor architectures for network/protocol processing * Network (sub)systems (e.g., memory managers, IP table look-up, packet classifiers, etc.) * Architectural support for QoS in network systems * Architectural support for security in network systems * Power-aware network (sub)systems * Operating systems for network systems for next generation networks * Design tools and methodologies for network systems for next generation networks All submissions shall be in accordance to the guidelines of the IEEE Network magazine (http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html) and written in a tutorial manner comprehensible to the non-specialist. The submissions must be sent to the guest-editors below (not to magazine’s Editor-in-Chief).

(2) New ideas: a session is reserved for "idea" papers, held to less stringent standards of system evaluation. (3) Experience with earlier concepts: a session is reserved for experience papers, for which depth of evaluation is paramount, and novelty less important. Authors may designate their paper for one of these sessions, but need not to. ____________________________________________________________ NSDI 2007 Title: 4th Symposium on Networked Systems Design & Implementation (NSDI'07) Abstract: 2006-10-02 Deadline: 2006-10-09 Webpage: http://www.usenix.org/events/nsdi07/ Conference: April 11-13, 2007 Contact: nsdi07chairs(a)usenix.org Location: Cambridge, MA, USA Synopsis: NSDI focuses on the design principles of large-scale networked and distributed computer systems. Systems as diverse as Internet routing, peer-to-peer and overlay networks, sensor networks, Web-based systems, and network measurement infrastructures share a set of common challenges. Progress in any of these areas requires a deep understanding of how researchers are addressing the challenges of large-scale systems in other contexts. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the networking and systems community -- including computer networks, distributed systems, and operating systems -- to foster a broad approach to addressing our common research challenges. ____________________________________________________________ SIGMETRICS 2007 Title: ACM International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems 2007 (SIGMETRICS'07) Abstract: 2006-10-27 Deadline: 2006-11-03 Webpage: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~sigm07/ Conference: June 12-16, 2007 Contact: harchol (at) cs.cmu.edu Location: San Diego, CA, USA Synopsis: The ACM SIGMETRICS conference solicits papers on the development and application of state-of-the-art, broadly-applicable analytic, simulation, and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Of particular interest is work that furthers the state-of-the-art in performance evaluation methods, or those that creatively apply previously developed methods to understand or to gain important insights into key design trade-offs in complex computer or communication systems. ____________________________________________________________ * NEW THIS MONTH!
