[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Wireless Technologies in Factory and Industrial Automation"]
by Lars Wolf 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Wireless Technologies in Factory and Industrial Automation" Datum: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 19:08:33 +0200 Von: Andreas Willig <awillig(a)tkn.tu-berlin.de> Organisation: Telecommunication Networks Group An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Repost, deadline was wrong. 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.

As a result, there is need for effective methods of situation recognition, prediction, reasoning and control -- operations collectively identifiable as Situation Management. Often situations involve a large number of inter-dependent dynamic objects that change their states in time and space, and engage each other into fairly complex relations. >From a management viewpoint it is important to understand the situations in which these objects participate, to recognize emerging trends and potential threats, and to undertake required actions. Understanding of dynamic situations requires complex cognitive modeling of situations, building situation ontologies, and continuous collection, perception, and fusion of signal and human intelligence events and reports. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and decision makers from government, industry and academia to present the state of their research, development and systems needs in situation management, to discuss fundamental issues and problems, and to identify future R&D directions. Technical papers are invited in areas including but not limited to the following topics: * * *Situation Calculus * * *Situation Modeling * * *Situation Ontologies and Semantics * * *Situation Specification Languages and Tools * * *Situation Monitoring and Awareness * * *Reasoning about Situations * * *Learning and Situation Discovery * * *Predictive Situation Modeling * * *Cognitive Models of Information Fusion * * *Situation Management Architectures * * *Agents, Grids and Distributed Situation Management * * *Situation Management in Autonomic and Self-Organizing Systems * * *Net-Centric Warfare and Battlespace Situation Management * * *Disaster Response & Crisis Management * * *Infrastructure and Cyber Security Situation Management * *Please submit a title and a brief abstract of your paper at http://www.milcom.org/2006/index.htm <http://www.milcom.org/2005/>.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final call for journal paper / due May 1 Datum: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 16:43:33 -0400 Von: Bush, Stephen F (GE, Research) <bushsf(a)research.ge.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> ...sorry to contribute to CFP overflow, but here's another one... --- WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS AND MOBILE COMPUTING Special Issue Announcement Advances in Resource-Constrained Device Networking Mobile communication devices of the next generation are expected to have an increasingly diminishing form-factor but at the same time are expected to be capable of universal network access. This leads to numerous challenges due to limited resources, such as battery power and radio size and limited transmission range. To obtain universal connectivity such devices must be able to recognize and connect to networks in their vicinity by forming ad hoc networks until data reaches a backbone network. This should be accomplished instantaneously and seamlessly with or without the support of a pre- existing infrastructure. These devices should have the capability for self-organization, support for multiple levels of quality of service, and high security. This special issue seeks contributions in the area of wireless and ad hoc networking with special emphasis on resource-constrained communication devices. Papers should describe original and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Topics of interest, with special emphasis on resource-constrained devices/networks, including but not limited to are the following: ? Techniques for self-organization ? 1/f Noise and power-law indicators of organization ? Boolean Networks and Attractors ? Active network, algorithmic information theoretic, and compression-based approaches ? Swarm and emergent behavior approaches ? Energy management ? Security ? Synchronization ? Robust transport protocols ? Quality-of-service aware routing and prioritization, cross-layer optimization ? Performance evaluation ? Testbed environments ? Scalability The guest editors encourage the authors to submit their manuscripts as an email attachment to one of the guest editors, or to provide a URL with a PDF or postscript version of their manuscript. Detailed instructions to authors can be found in: www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/1530-8669/authors.html Schedule: Guest Editors Stephen F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: E-NEXT.members: CfP IWAN 2006 Datum: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 22:10:35 +0200 Von: Guy Leduc <Guy.Leduc(a)ULG.AC.BE> An: 'Members E-Next Mailing List' <members(a)ist-e-next.net> Call for Papers: IWAN 2006 Eighth Annual IFIP TC6 Working Conference on Active and Programmable Networks September 25-29, 2006 Paris, France http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/Iwan.htm Co-located with SMARTNET'06 - INTELLCOMM'06 - WAC'06 as part of Autonomic Networking 2006 IWAN06 will be part of the "Autonomic Networking" conference, which is the first international conference on all aspects of autonomic networking (architecture, services, tools, security, communications, ...). This conference groups four past events: SMARTNET on tools for autonomic networking (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/SMARTNET.htm); INTELLCOMM on autonomic management and services (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/Intellcomm.htm); WAC on autonomic communications (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/WAC.htm ) and IWAN on active networks (http://dnac.org/autonomic-networking/temp/IWAN.htm) Active and programmable networking has, over the past several years, laid the foundations of providing easy, but robust, introduction of new network services to devices such as routers and switches by adding dynamic programmability to network equipment. Network programmability and service deployment architectures can bring the right services to the customer at the right time and location. The methods and technologies explored in active and programmable networking research have helped realise the trend towards ad-hoc networks, autonomic computing and communications, sensor networks and content-aware distribution. Also, active and programmable networks will continue to play an important role in future network architectures where the Quality of Service aspects of performance, security and resilience are crucial. IWAN06 brings together members of various communities using active and programmable network techniques to address the above challenges, and it provides a forum for discussion and collaboration involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover all aspects of active network based communication, including foundations of robust languages and security mechanisms, active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals, and active management. In addition, the meeting will focus on relating active techniques to customer needs and services. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results. However, we welcome high quality descriptive contributions where the ideas are particularly novel or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of others. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following active and programmable networking topics: * Architectures and new concepts for programmability and flexibility in networks * Standardization of frameworks * Secure and robust network operation * Formal descriptions, analysis, and methodologies * Self-organizing and self-managing networks * Cognitive networks * Design and development methodologies and tools * Overlay networks * Storage in networking * Active and programmable technologies for Grids * Security within programmable and active frameworks * Applications and experiments * Service creation, deployment, and management * Programmable network elements and devices * Network processor platforms * Hardware and software platforms for autonomous infrastructures * Mobile and ad-hoc networking; mobile platforms * Programmability and software radios * Content- and context-aware distribution * Autonomic programmable networking * Building complex systems Information for Authors: Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 10 single-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 150 word abstract, and list of keywords. Identify the author responsible for correspondence, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address. Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically through the EDAS web site (http://edas.info/). The post-conference proceedings are expected to be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. The best papers are expected to be published in the open access IFIP TC6 Journal on Networking available free of charge in the IFIP Digital Library. Important Dates: Submission deadline for papers: April 24, 2006 Notification of acceptance: June 9, 2006 Final Manuscript due: June 30, 2006 IWAN06 Meeting date: during the week of September 25-29, 2006 IWAN is sponsored by IFIP TC6/WG6.2 (Network and Internetwork Architectures), WG6.6 (Management of Networks and Distributed Systems) and WG6.7 (Smart Networks) General Chairs: R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP [EXTENDED DEADLINE]: 2nd International workshop on Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling Datum: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 08:50:44 -0400 Von: Maria Papadopouli <maria(a)cs.unc.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear colleagues, Please note that the paper submission deadline of the 2nd Int'nal workshop on Wireless Measurements and Modeling (WiTMeMo'06) has been extended to May 15th, 2006. Best, Maria ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second International workshop on Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling (WiTMeMo'06) August 5, 2006 Boston http://www.witmemo.org/ in conjunction with the Second Annual International Wireless Internet Conference (WICON) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope ----- The rapid deployment of wireless infrastructures in various environments triggers new applications and services that in turn generate a richer set of traces for analysis. There is a need for more realistic models of traffic, mobility, and association patterns. This can be beneficial in capacity planning, administration, and deployment of wireless infrastructures, protocol design for wireless applications and services, and their performance analysis. The Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling workshop is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences and research results about all aspects of measurements and modeling of applications, usage, access, load, and mobility in wireless networks. It will also initiate discussions on how to use these models to improve the performance of wireless networks. Furthermore, it aims in enhancing and accelerating the process of sharing traces, implementations, and test suites. In this workshop, we would like to solicit short, 6-page papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. Along with regular presentations we plan to have invited speakers and/or panel discussions that encourage more active participation of the attendees. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: * Methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in different wireless environments (infrastructures, sensor networks) * Workload characterization and traffic analysis * User mobility modeling * Measurements and predictions of user access over multiple networks *Software tools in support of measurements * Measurement-based inference of network properties (for normal or abnormal behavior, network topology, hot spots) * Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, and anomaly detection * Temporal and spatial evolution of wireless networks * Evaluation of forecasting algorithms for wireless traffic load * Comparative analysis on different wireless networks * Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests Chair ----- Maria Papadopouli UNC, FORTH TPC --- Jack Brassil, HP Lab Felix Hernandez-Campos, Google Christophe Diot, Thomson, Eyal de Lara, University of Toronto Matti Latva-aho, University of Oulu Tristan Henderson, Dartmouth College Philipp Hofmann, DoCoMo Eurolab Rosario Garroppo, University of Pisa Ramakrishnan Kadangode, AT&T Research Merkourios Karaliopoulos, UNC Gerald Maquire, KTH Xiaoqiao Meng, UCLA Maria Papadopouli UNC, FORTH George Polyzos, AUEB Pablo Rodriguez, Microsoft UK Ashutosh Sabharwal, Rice University Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University Vassilis Siris, FORTH Mark Yarvis, Intel Important Deadlines ------------------- Full Papers due: May 15th, 2006 (**** Extended ****) Notification of Acceptance: June 15st, 2006 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: July 1st, 2006 Conference Date: August 5 2006 -- Maria Papadopouli http://www.cs.unc.edu/~maria _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
