-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline for LOCAN 2006 extended to June 26th Datum: Mon, 19 Jun 2006 08:55:28 +0200 Von: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Due to numerous requests we decided to extend the deadline to June 26th. Please, find below the revised CFP. Our apologies for duplicate postings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2006 2nd International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2006 (www.ieee-mass.org) Vancouver, Canada, October 9 - 12, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the research community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behaviour achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The main objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery * Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: June 26, 2006 Acceptance Notification: July 19, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2006 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS2006 workshops.

September 29, 2006 Los Angeles, California, USA Important Dates: * EXTENDED Paper Submission Deadline: Tue., June 20, 2006 * Notification to authors: July 24, 2006 * Camera Ready Due: August 4, 2006 WMASH aim: 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 * Inter-working 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 * Case studies on deployed platforms and experimental test beds Please consult the Program Co-Chairs Anand R. Prasad (prasad(a)docomolab-euro.com) and Sajal K. Das (das(a)cse.uta.edu) if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop.

Infrastructureless networks include both wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks as important classes. Dependability issues such as reliability, availability, quality of service and security are made more challenging by the wireless and infrastructureless environment. Reliability and availability challenges include the varying characteristics of a wireless channel, which is subject to interference, fading, and multipath effects. General quality of service mechanisms become even more important due to bandwidth and other resource limitations. Challanges such as dealing with partitioned operation have led to new research areas such as delay-tolerant networking. The presence of mobile nodes in many of these settings complicates further the dependability issues. Clearly, these dependability challenges must be met before the full promise of ad hoc and sensor networks can be realized. GOAL AND TOPICS The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers to focus exclusively on the important topic of dependability issues in ad hoc and sensor networks, to outline its specific and unique research challenges, and to identify some of the most promising candidate solution methods and techniques to address those challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Adaptive network protocols - Distributed algorithms for dependability - Network lifetime modeling and evaluation - Impact of mobility on dependability - Dependability case studies - QoS adaptation - Fault-tolerant and/or secure routing - Dependability techniques for resource constrained environments - Space-time routing - Network-level techniques for mitigating unreliable wireless links - Countering denial of service and energy-draining attacks - Dependable and secure services - Coverage and connectivity problems - Security against physical attacks - Data availability and consistency - Error-tolerant data aggregation in sensor networks - Handling network partitions - Delay-tolerant networking - Mobility-assisted routing SUBMISSIONS Papers should be written in English, must conform to the proceedings publication format (ACM Conference Style) and should not exceed eight pages, including text, references, figures and appendices. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. The paper must be submitted electronically in .pdf format through the EDAS submission system.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] cfp: Contaxt-Aware Mobile Systems (CAMS) workshop Datum: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 20:06:01 +0200 Von: annika hinze <hinze(a)cs.waikato.ac.nz> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please note that the deadline for abstract submissions to CAMS has been extended to the 30 June 2006 (as have the deadlines for all OTM workshops). The new paper deadline is July 10. Second International Workshop on Context-Aware Mobile Systems (CAMS'06) ....................................... Montpellier, France, Oct 29 - Nov 3, 2006 http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/cams2006cfp.html In conjunction with OnTheMove Federated Conferences (OTM'06) http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag GOAL Following from 2005's very successful workshop, the purpose of the CAMS 06 workshop on Context Aware Mobile Systems is again to bring together researchers from diverse communities who are interested in the design of mobile systems that are sensitive to their environment, users and task. We seek contributions from researchers of all backgrounds, in particular mobile systems, context- and location-aware systems, data modelling, middleware and distributed systems, and computer supported cooperative work (CSCW). WORKSHOP THEME Mobile systems can be deployed in a wide range of physical environments to support users in diverse tasks. Advanced mobile systems need to exploit information about the environment in which they are working. This .context awareness. is much more than location awareness alone, or merely the immediate situation. The workshop is focussed on systems that address more sophisticated models of context that use many different aspects. A key aspect of context-aware mobile systems is using models and techniques to adapt the system.s behaviour so that it behaves in a manner that is relevant and pertinent to the current context. The workshop focuses on service design and implementation issues for mobile context-aware systems. Approaches range from modelling of the context, through processing of context, to the architecture through which a context-based system can be implemented. For context sensitive applications to be delivered in the real world, the critical middle layer of the mobile systems needs to be much better understood. In addition, fundamental interaction design, content strategies such as content caching and collaborative mechanisms provide other important areas of research. WORKSHOP AIMS The field of context-aware mobile systems is a new and emerging research topic. We aim to bring together researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds who focus on the design and implantations of CAMS. The workshop will provide a forum that initiates and facilitates communication between different research communities. CAMS will aim to clarify the differing constraints and required functionality in representative applications and identify mutually agreed research questions within the area. Together, participants will explore methods for the evaluation and comparison of context-aware mobile systems. Overall, we seek to cross-fertilise the ideas and innovations of currently unconnected groups. Topics of Interest Topics welcome at the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Data models of context * Data management for mobile context-aware services (e.g. caching, peer-to-peer, indexation, compression) * Process models for context-aware systems (e.g. event-based, communication, selection) * Architecture for mobile context-aware applications * Research questions unique to the mobile context-aware area * User context models and processing * Adaptivity * User interfaces for mobile context-aware systems (e.g. for context representation and manipulation by the user) SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed 10 pages in the final camera-ready format for regular papers and 4 pages for position papers. Authors instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html The paper submission site is located at: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/cams/2006/papers Accepted workshop contributions will be published by Springer-Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) as a part of the workshop proceedings of the 2006 International On The Move Federated Conferences (OTM). Registering to the OTM conference and CAMS workshop is a prerequisite for the paper to be published. Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.

Papers may report on: (1) The design, implementation, evaluation and deployment of such systems. (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. To encourage diversity, any single author may submit at most two papers. Papers authored by program committee members are held to a significantly higher standard, and their number in the final programme severely restricted. Reviewing is not double blind; feel free to include your affiliation and all references in full. Papers are reviewed by the programme committee, with the help of outside referees. Papers will be accepted primarily for their impact on the Systems community, and for bridging gaps between different communities. Novelty, clarity of explanation and thorough evaluation are additional criteria. Acceptance may be provisional, subject to further shepherding by a member of the program committee before final acceptance. The conference does not have a predefined format or a target number of accepted papers. Papers will be accepted or rejected based on their merits, and the conference will be organized in a format that accommodates the number of papers that meet that criterion. SUBMISSION Papers should not exceed 14 pages double column including figures and tables in standard ACM format, but preferably using 10pt or larger font on 12pt spacing. Papers that exceed this length will be rejected without consideration of their merit. For detailed submission instructions, please refer to the submission web site. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty and fraud. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets ACM guidelines should contact the program chair at eurosys2007_pc(a)eurosys.org.

IM 2007 will present the latest technical advances in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Held in odd-numbered years since 1989 and taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS, IM 2007 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the field of integrated management. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). Integrated management of networked systems is facing new challenges, stemming from a combination of rapidly evolving technologies and an increased scrutiny from corporate customers. At the same time, as IT and network services become more and more ubiquitous, their reliability and performance become more critical for all kinds of enterprises. The resulting demands for improving and verifying service quality must be met in an environment of increasingly distributed and decentralized service provisioning, accelerated service lifecycles, and unprecedented security challenges. Today's IT management issues involve many diverse problems in controlling heterogeneous IT infrastructures, often across organizational boundaries. However, new and difficult challenges are emerging while aligning technical and organizational IT management to business requirements, thus calling for integrating management tools and measures "from bits to business value". IM 2007 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and vendor exhibits. In the tradition of previous events, we strive to make the IM 2007 Symposium the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services. Submission Instructions ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the IM 2007 web site. Papers must be written in English. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions will be rejected without further review. Full papers are required for review. If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10 printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style. For samples and templates, please visit the IM 2007 web site.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP LOCAN 2006: 2nd International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks Datum: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 17:14:48 +0200 Von: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Our apologies for duplicate postings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2006 2nd International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2006 (www.ieee-mass.org) Vancouver, Canada, October 9 - 12, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the research community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behaviour achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The main objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery * Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: June 19, 2006 Acceptance Notification: July 19, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2006 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS2006 workshops.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP : 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks MHWMN 2006 Datum: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 23:07:53 -0400 Von: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Antwort an: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organisation: University of Guelph An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: denko(a)snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca ****** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message **** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks 2006 (IEEE MHWMN'06) Website: http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2006/CFP.htm In conjunction with IEEE MASS 2006 (www.ieee-mass.org), Vancouver, Canada, October 9-12, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIM and SCOPE The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management Quality of services (QoS) delivery in MHWMN Seamless Mobility, Vertical Handoff Robust and scalable routing protocols for MHWMN MAC protocols for MHWMN Self-configuration and synchronization for MHWMN Security issues in MHWMN Topology control and management for MHWMN Mobility models and location management in MHWMN Cross-layer design and interactions for MHWMN Modeling and performance evaluation for MHWMN Algorithms for localization and signal processing in MHWMN Implementation testbeds for MHWMN Operating systems and middleware for MHWMN Mesh networks SUBMISSIONS Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is eight (8) pages. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format), contact addresses, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses (text format) to the co-chairs, Qing-An Zeng (qzeng(a)ececs.uc.edu) and Mieso Denko (denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca) by June 15, 2006.
