-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Workshop on Multimedia Content Protection and Security Datum: Tue, 6 Jun 2006 11:38:16 +0200 Von: Frank Hartung (AC/EDD) <frank.hartung(a)ericsson.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, <itc(a)comsoc.org>, <multicomm(a)comsoc.org>, <MOBICOM(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG> **** Apologies if you receive multiple copies **** CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Multimedia Content Protection and Security October 28, 2006, Santa Barbara, CA, USA http://stargate.ecn.purdue.edu/~ips/acm-sec/ Held in conjunction with the 2006 ACM Multimedia Conference We are 'Living la Vida Digital' -- in the shadow an ever-growing mountain of digital data, and advances in technology enable media delivery scenarios that were not feasible before; today's service providers and content providers must embrace new business models in order to attract and sustain consumers. But as the volumes of data grow, so does the importance of, and challenges associated with, multimedia content protection and security. To address these challenges, it is imperative to devise effective and flexible solutions. New technologies offer convenient ways to distribute and consume digital media; yet these new technologies also make it relatively easy to quickly and flawlessly copy digital data, posing tremendous challenges to protecting intellectual property rights. Multimedia security standards aim to define specifications that facilitate effective and flexible content protection schemes and promote interoperability among applications. While that is the Holy Grail, developing secure multimedia applications and solutions in a distributed environment with competing technologies and emerging standards is an enormous challenge. During this workshop, we will explore ways in which a combination of emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovative solutions and technologies that enable new markets might drive both new applications and entirely new ways of managing content. We will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from several perspectives: researchers, consumers and content/service providers. Call for Papers The intention of this workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from multimedia security communities (academia and industry) to share a vision of "Multimedia Security and Content Protection in this Rapidly Growing Digital World". That is, from identifying challenging problems that can shape the future of research, to practical applications and/or research that address issues posed by the convergence of television, computers and the Internet. We welcome papers on applications that combine emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovating solutions, and technologies that enable new markets. This workshop will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business, and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from the several perspectives: researchers, consumers, and content/service providers.

Call for Papers Special Issue of Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Systems and Applications (URL: http://cs.okstate.edu/~xiaolin/joatc/CFP06.htm) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deadline: June 15, 2006 (extended) As computer systems become increasingly large, complex and pervasive, their self-manageability and trustworthiness play critical roles in supporting next-generation science, engineering, and business applications. They provide computing services to large pools of users and applications, and thus are exposed to a number of dangers, such as, accidental/deliberate faults, virus infections, malicious attacks, illegal intrusions, and natural disasters. Identifying and rectifying problems in such complex systems which consist of several heterogeneous software/hardware/network components is non-trivial. As a result, too often computer systems fail, become compromised, or perform poorly. Therefore, it remains a challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the performance of trustworthy systems. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services that are predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, and privacy protect-able. The scale and complexity of information systems evolve towards overwhelming the capability of system administrators, programmers, and designers. This calls for the autonomic computing paradigm, which meets the requirement of self-management by providing self-optimization, self-healing, self-configuration, and self-protection. As a promising means to implement trusted and self-managing systems, autonomic computing technology needs to be further explored. On the other hand, any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trusted and autonomic computing and communications need synergistic research efforts covering many disciplines, ranging from computer science and engineering, the natural sciences, biological sciences, to social sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software, system architectures, and communication systems that support the effective and coherent integration of the constituent technologies. This special issue seeks original contributions of theoretical or practical emphasis in the area of autonomic and trusted computing systems and applications, including but are not limited to: * Autonomic Computing Theory and Models * Autonomic Computing Systems and Applications * Autonomic System Tools and Interfaces * Autonomic Grid Systems, Middleware, and Services * Bio-Inspired System Design * Context-aware Access Control * Economic Models for Autonomic Trusted Computing Systems and Applications * Embedded Trusted and Autonomic Architectures * Human Interaction with Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems * Reliability and Availability Issues in Embedded and Sensor Network Systems * Reliability Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation * Security Models and Quantification * Sensing, Monitoring and Measurements for Self-Managing Systems * Self-* Design for Ubiquitous Computing * Self-healing, Self-protecting and Fault-tolerant Systems * Software and Hardware Reliability, Verification and Testing * Trusted Autonomic Computing and Communications * Trust Models and Specifications * Trust-related Security and Privacy * Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Important Dates: Expression of Interest: ASAP, 2006 Submission Deadline: June 15, 2006 Acceptance Notification: September 1st, 2006 Final Manuscript: October 1st, 2006 Publication Date: December, 2006 Submission Information: * Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Transaction manuscript format described in the Guide for Authors at http://www.joatc.org/ * Please limit your paper appropriately so that the final version is approximately 15 pages in length following IEEE Transaction paper styles (single-space double-column). * Your email of intent to submit a paper should include author(s) information, a title and an abstract. * Please email your submission in PDF or MS Word format to the guest editors. * If you are not sure about the suitability of a given topic or if you want to know more details about the special issue's intent, please do not hesitate to contact the guest editors. * All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed according to the rules of JoATC.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Special Issue of IJIVP on Wavelets in Source Coding, Communications, and Networks Datum: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 10:12:37 -0500 Von: James E. Fowler <fowler(a)ece.msstate.edu> An: undisclosed-recipients:; Dear Colleague, The International Journal of Image and Video Processing will host a special issue on "Wavelets in Source Coding, Communications, and Networks". Details are provided in the call for papers which can be found at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/IJIVP/ and is also included below. Best Regards, James E. Fowler and Béatrice Pesquet-Popescu, Guest Editors ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Wavelets in Source Coding, Communications, and Networks Call for Papers Wavelet transforms are arguably the most powerful, and most widely-used, tool to arise in the field of signal processing in the last several decades. Their inherent capacity for multiresolution representation akin to the operation of the human visual system motivated a quick adoption and widespread use of wavelets in image-processing applications. Indeed, wavelet-based algorithms have dominated image compression for over a decade, and wavelet-based source coding is now emerging in other domains. For example, recent wavelet-based video coders exploit techniques such as motion-compensated temporal filtering to yield effective video compression with full temporal, spatial, and fidelity scalability. Additionally, wavelets are increasingly used in the source coding of remote-sensing, satellite, and other geospatial imagery. Furthermore, wavelets are starting to be deployed beyond the source-coding realm with increased interest in robust communication of images and video over both wired and wireless networks. In particular, wavelets have been recently proposed for joint source-channel coding and multiple-description coding. This special issue will explore these and other latest advances in the theory and application of wavelets. Specifically, this special issue will gather high-quality, original contributions on all aspects of the application of wavelets and wavelet theory to the source coding, communication, and network transmission of images and video. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the theory and applications of wavelets in: * Scalable image and video coding * Motion-compensated temporal filtering * Source coding of images and video via frames and overcomplete representations * Geometric and adaptive multiresolution image and video representations * Multiple-description coding of images and video * Joint source-channel coding of images and video * Distributed source coding of images and video * Robust coding of images and video for wired and wireless packet networks * Network adaption and transcoding of images and video * Coding and communication of images and video in sensor networks Authors should follow the IJIVP manuscript format described at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijivp/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: WMASH2006 Datum: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 16:02:12 +0200 Von: Danilo Severina <severina(a)dit.unitn.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ============================================== Call for Papers WMASH 2006 The Fourth ACM International Workshop on Wireless Mobile Applications and Services on WLAN Hotspots Los Angeles, California, USA September 29, 2006 http://wmash06.dit.unitn.it ============================================== ACM WMASH aims to address and discuss the technical and business challenges, ideas, views, and research results in providing public wireless Internet services and applications for mobile users in small, highly-populated, public spaces (wireless LANs and "hotspots"). Since the beginning of the workshop in 2003 several research and business challenges related to public WLAN were put forward. These challenges still need to be explored and market needs to converge while new developments continue. The challenges are: What is the overall network architecture and service model? How to roam through multiple wireless access providers with a unique service contract? How to decouple the wireless infrastructure providers from the Internet service (and content) providers? How to locate service facilities in the wireless access domain and how to match the available facilities with the user needs? How to exploit location and context information? How to provide differentiated service levels to different customers? How to achieve seamless interoperation between WLAN-based hotspots and cellular and other emerging wireless data networks? The last challenge, concerning seamless interoperation, is catching the most attention these days leading to activities in IEEE 802 and in 3GPP to move quickly towards finding standardized solutions. This workshop will aim at discussing these and several other challenges and issues behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access. Leaders and thinkers of the field from academia and industry will assemble to share their ideas and views. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers or position papers, describing current research, experimental work and visions of the future. We are specifically interested in work dealing with network layer and above (layers 3-7). Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but is not limited to: . Applications and services . New service and business models . Public WLAN and hotspot architectures . Community-owned WLAN infrastructures . WLAN-based ad-hoc network service creation and management . Metro-area hotspots using 802.11/802.16 mesh . Multi-radio mesh node designs . Self-configuring mesh networks for public hotspots . Mobile routers for transient, portable hotspots . Application case studies of mobile routers . Interworking with other wireless systems, e.g., 3G, 802.16 . Mobility, roaming, and handoff management . Context-aware services and technologies . Location-aware applications and services . Multimedia wireless applications, e.g., Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) . Authentication, accounting, billing and payment issues . Security and privacy in public WLANs . Middleware support . Service location and discovery . Traffic measurements and modeling .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of, Distributed Systems (SSS 2006) Datum: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 10:24:38 +0200 Von: Maria Gradinariu <mgradina(a)irisa.fr> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, Mohamed Gouda <gouda(a)cs.utewas.edu>, davis(a)iastate.edu [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] Eighth International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (formerly Symposium on Self-stabilizing Systems) (SSS 2006) November 17th-19th, 2006 Dallas, Texas, USA http://www.irisa.fr/sss/2006/ ============================================================================== Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS). ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Important Dates Paper Submission: July 7th, 2006 Notification to Authors: August 21st, 2006 Camera-ready: August 31st, 2006 Symposium: November 17th-19th, 2006 ============================================================================== The Symposium is a prestigious international forum for researchers and practitioners in the design and development of fault-tolerant distributed systems with self-* properties, such as self-stabilizing, self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing, self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-adaptive, and self-protecting. The theory of self-stabilization has been enriched in the last 25 years by high quality research contributions in the areas of algorithmic techniques, formal methodologies, model theoretic issues, and composition techniques. All these areas are essential to the understanding and maintenance of self-* properties in fault-tolerant distributed systems. Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, robotic networks, etc. Moreover, new applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of distributed systems. Now, more than ever, the theory of self-stabilization has tremendous impact in these areas. Therefore, this year, we are extending the scope of the symposium to cover all safety and security related aspects of self-* systems. The title of the conference has been changed to reflect this expansion. There will be three tracks: networking, safety and security, and self-* properties in static and dynamic systems. The symposium solicits contributions on all aspects of self-stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems and programing, from theoretical contributions, to reports of the actual experience of applying the principles of self-stabilization to static and dynamic systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Stabilization: - self-stabilizing systems - self-managed, self-assembling, autonomic and adaptive systems - self-optimizing and self-protecting systems - self-* abstractions for implementing fundamental services in static and dynamic distributed systems - impossibility results and lower bounds for self-* systems - application of stabilizing algorithms and techniques in dynamic distributed systems - data and code stabilization - algorithms for self-* error detection/correction Safety: - safety critical systems - trust models and specifications - semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk and reputation - trust-related security and privacy - reliable and dependable systems - fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery Security: - security of network protocols - security of sensor and mobile networks protocols - secure architectures, frameworks, policy, intrusion detection/awareness - proactive security - self-* properties and their relation with classical fault-tolerance and security - security protocols for self-* systems Networks and Applications: - models of fault-tolerant communication - stochastic, physical, and biological models to analyze self-* properties - communication complexity - data structures for efficient communication - self-stabilizing hardware, software, and middleware - algorithms for high-speed networks, sensors, wireless and robots networks - mobile agents - peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, MANETs, and wireless mesh networks - network topologies, overlays, and protocols - protocols for secure and reliable data transport and search in wireless mesh networks - information storage and sharing in wireless mesh networks Contributors are invited to submit a PDF file of their paper. Submissions should be no longer than 4800 words and should not exceed 12 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11 point font and reasonable margins (the page limit includes all figures, tables, and graphs). Submissions should include a cover page (that does not count towards the 12 page limit) that includes paper title, authors and affiliations, contact author's e-mail address, an abstract of the work in a few lines, and a few keywords. Submitted papers may have appendices beyond the 12 page limit, but reviewers are free to disregard any material beyond the 12 page limit. A paper submitted to SSS 2006 is expected to be original research not previously published; a submission may not be concurrently submitted or to any other conference, workshop, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Multimedia 2006] CFP Workshop on Content Protection & Security Datum: Sat, 27 May 2006 05:55:02 -0400 Von: ACM Multimedia Committee <acmsigmm(a)fastmail.fm> An: Multimedia Recipient <WOLF(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> Workshop on Multimedia Content Protection and Security October 28, 2006 Santa Barbara, CA, USA Held in conjunction with the 2006 ACM Multimedia Conference -------------------------------------------------------- We are 'Living la Vida Digital' -- in the shadow an ever-growing mountain of digital data, and advances in technology enable media delivery scenarios that were not feasible before; today's service providers and content providers must embrace new business models in order to attract and sustain consumers. But as the volumes of data grow, so does the importance of, and challenges associated with, multimedia content protection and security. To address these challenges, it is imperative to devise effective and flexible solutions. New technologies offer convenient ways to distribute and consume digital media; yet these new technologies also make it relatively easy to quickly and flawlessly copy digital data, posing tremendous challenges to protecting intellectual property rights. Multimedia security standards aim to define specifications that facilitate effective and flexible content protection schemes and promote interoperability among applications. While that is the Holy Grail, developing secure multimedia applications and solutions in a distributed environment with competing technologies and emerging standards is an enormous challenge. During this workshop, we will explore ways in which a combination of emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovative solutions and technologies that enable new markets might drive both new applications and entirely new ways of managing content. We will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from several perspectives: researchers, consumers and content/service providers. CALL FOR PAPERS The intention of this workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from multimedia security communities (academia and industry) to share a vision of "Multimedia Security and Content Protection in this Rapidly Growing Digital World". That is, from identifying challenging problems that can shape the future of research, to practical applications and/or research that address issues posed by the convergence of television, computers and the Internet. We welcome papers on applications that combine emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovating solutions, and technologies that enable new markets. This workshop will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business, and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from the several perspectives: researchers, consumers, and content/service providers. We encourage submissions on papers on all topics in the general areas of multimedia security, multimedia content protection, emerging standards, interoperability, and practical applications issues. Papers that bridge across these areas are of special interest. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Content Protection - Broadcast Encryption - Public-Key Encryption - Forensic Analysis - Tracing Traitors - Revocation Schemes - Digital Rights Management - Cryptographic Applications Digital Watermarking - Applications - Protocols - Attacks - Techniques Platform Integrity - Software Tamper Resistance - Code Obfuscation - Software Watermarking - Hardware Tamper Resistance - Trusted Computing Applications, Standards, and Formats - Consumer Applications - Solutions for the Home Network - New business models in multimedia security - Challenges of Emerging Media Formats - Enabling technologies - Legal aspects We also welcome authors from industry to submit papers that describe solutions in all the areas above. These papers should point out the technical aspects of the work, such as: - Relevant implementation issues - Lessons learned - Problems addressed by the solution - Supporting technologies - Interoperability issues Submission Details: Papers should be at most 10 pages long prepared in the ACM style and written in acceptable English. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Wireless Technologies in Factory and Industrial Automation" Datum: Fri, 26 May 2006 22:46:10 +0200 Von: Andreas Willig <awillig(a)tkn.tu-berlin.de> Organisation: Telecommunication Networks Group An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please apologize for any duplicates. ------------------------------------ Wireless technologies have the potential of providing significant benefits in factory and industrial automation systems. The wireless way of communicating makes plant setup and modification easier, cheaper and more flexible. It provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile equipment where wires are in constant danger of breaking. It enables new applications where wireless transmission is the only option, e.g., measurements and control of rotating or highly mobile devices, and provides a novel approach to existing applications, e.g., localization and tracking of goods. Wireless technologies do, however, suffer from time-varying error rates, interference and security problems. This imposes a number of problems, especially in the industrial application field, where often tight constraints in terms of reliability, safety, dependability and real-time requirements have to be fulfilled in order to avoid severe financial losses or even damage to equipment or life. Several other issues may arise, including the interconnection of wireless systems with legacy industrial communication systems, the provisioning of support for proper system planning, configuration and commissioning of wireless industrial communication systems as well as power feeding problems. The goal of this special section is to attract theoretical and practical papers attacking the main issues and challenges concerning the adoption of wireless technologies in industrial communications; reporting about implementation experiences; describing and evaluating the design of new applications of wireless technologies in industrial and automation systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Lower-layer protocols for ensuring efficient, reliable and timely data transmissions in industrial environments: physical layer, coding, MAC / link-layer techniques. - Wireless fieldbus systems, including hybrid wired/wireless systems and wireless extensions of wired configurations. - Wireless-aware, industrial type, higher-layer protocols. - Middleware for wireless industrial applications. - Standardization activities with special emphasis on wireless technologies for factory and industrial automation systems. - Security of wireless communication systems in industrial environments. - Applications of wireless technologies (incl. RFID) in factory/industrial automation systems, including innovative applications like wireless-based localization, tracking. - Field trials and low-level measurements (e.g., channel properties, interference) for the characterization of industrial environments. - System-level tools for wireless network planning and configuration in industrial settings. - Wireless power transmission in industrial environments. We seek original contributions not currently under review by other journals. All contributions must focus on industrial applications and requirements. Results obtained by simulations must be validated in bounds by experiments or analytical results. The novelty of the contributions should be clearly indicated and related to the current state of the art. Manuscript preparation and submission: Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics http://www.ewh.ieee.org/soc/ies/tii/ Submit using Manuscript Central only http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii Key dates: Paper submission deadline: August 31, 2006 Expected publication date: August 2007 Note: The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor in Chief and Editor at Large for special sections.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Extension for VANET 2006, The Third ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks Datum: Tue, 23 May 2006 08:09:07 -0500 Von: Yih-Chun Hu <yihchun(a)CRHC.UIUC.EDU> Antwort an: Yih-Chun Hu <yihchun(a)CRHC.UIUC.EDU> An: tciannounce(a)COMPUTER.ORG Please accept my apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. The deadline for VANET 2006 has been extended to June 5, 2006. ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2006 The Third ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2006 September 29, 2006 Los Angeles, California, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2006/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 26, 2006 -- Extended to June 5, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: July 10, 2006 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 31, 2006 The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia and VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, the Third ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks will be held in Los Angeles, September 29, 2006, in conjunction with MobiCom 2006. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Safety and non-safety applications - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Communication protocol design - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds VANETs present a highly active field of research, development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs, for example consortia like VSC (US), C2CCC (Europe) and InternetITS (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2006 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2006/.
