-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC06] PerNets'06 cfp: deadline extended to April 9 Datum: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 19:59:17 +0200 Von: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> An: iscc2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call for papers CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================ First International Workshop on Personalized Networks http://pernets.org/ To be held in conjunction with: The 3rd Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networks and Services (ACM/IEEE MOBIQUITOUS 2006) July 17-21, 2006 - San Jose, California, USA ============================================================ Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: extended to April 9, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: May 8, 2006 Camera-Ready Submissions: May 31, 2006 (Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library) ============================================================= Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to ponder. On the one hand, we see present day mobile devices capable of providing many integrated services that only yesterday required several different devices. For instance, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and the desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand, the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems outlined above towards a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting the goal of a Personalized Network. * Addressing and routing * Architectural framework of personalized networks * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Dependability * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of person-centric applications * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Multimedia services for personalized networks * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Resource, service and context discovery * Security, privacy and accounting * Self-organization and adaptation * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, which attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Workshop on Networking in Public Transport Datum: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 15:53:29 +1100 Von: Lavy Libman <Lavy.Libman(a)nicta.com.au> Organisation: NICTA An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear colleagues, Apologies for any cross-postings. ========================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Networking in Public Transport (WNEPT 2006) in conjunction with QShine 2006 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada August 10, 2006 http://www.wnept.org Public transport (PT) systems, including buses, taxis, trains, ships and airplanes, are used daily by millions of people worldwide, ranging from regular commuters in metropolitan areas to long-distance business and leisure travellers. The ability to communicate and access information during travel is becoming increasingly crucial to maintain productivity or provide entertainment for PT passengers. However, despite phenomenal advances in mobile wireless networking technologies in recent years, commercial deployments of special networking solutions to support PT passengers remain scarce (except in airplanes). For the most part, mobile end users can only communicate by connecting directly to their individual wireless service providers. This prevailing situation offers a very limited and often inadequate support for the wide range of applications and needs of PT passengers, such as broadcast of multimedia entertainment and travel-related updates, and interactive multiplayer games. Additionally, networking support to PT vehicles is necessary to enable other PT-specific applications that do not directly involve the passengers, such as real-time surveillance, remote telemetry, and management of PT-specific road infrastructure (e.g. traffic lights on priority bus lanes and rail crossings). All of these require the deployment of integrated on-board network solutions to connect between passengers, content/application servers and other vehicle-mounted devices, neighboring vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and the Internet. Moreover, some inherent features of PT, such as the repetitiveness and predictability of routes and timetables, can be used to design specialized network protocols to further improve the quality of service perceived by PT passengers. Authors are invited to submit original full papers on any aspect of public transport networking. Contributions describing theoretical research, protocol design, experiments and measurements, commercial deployments, business models, or position/vision statements are all encouraged. Descriptions of work in progress, test trials, and future work plans are highly appreciated. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Broadband access to trains and airplanes * Mobile routers and network mobility * Intra-vehicle networks * IP and IPv6 mobility support for public transport * Multiple access networks in public transport * Authorization and authentication in public transport * Inter-vehicular communications, VANETs * Intermittent-connectivity and delay-tolerant networks * Protocol design for predictable mobility * Signalling between public transport and roadside infrastructure * Content distribution and on-board caching * Location privacy for public transport passengers * Novel public transport applications and services * Billing and charging for public transport networking * Experimental results and practical deployments Important dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2006 Notification: June 16, 2006 Final Version Due: June 30, 2006 For further information and submission instructions, visit http://www.wnept.org . _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: WCAN'06 - 2nd Workshop on Cryptography for Ad hoc Networks - Datum: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 21:33:25 +0200 Von: Roberto Di Pietro <dipietro(a)di.uniroma1.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu *Apologies for multiple copies* WCAN'06 2nd Workshop on Cryptography for Ad hoc Networks July 16th, 2006 location: S. Servolo Island, Venice, Italy A Satellite Workshop of the 33rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP 2006) ________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless ad hoc networks are today receiving a lot of attention for militar, commercial and civilian applications, thus raising several challenging security, privacy and anonimity research questions. The security research community has mainly focused on securing routing and is only recently widening its scope of analysis to other security areas. The cryptography research community has mainly focused on abstract models of networks like the Internet; however, cryptographic protocols for the Internet face serious challenges to be adapted to the ad-hoc, partial-connectivity, mobile, resource-constrained and infrastructureless nature of ad-hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to help bridging this gap, towards a more comprehensive investigation of security and cryptographic tools, analysis and modeling methodologies over ad hoc networks, by bringing together the cryptography, network security, and wireless networking communities. We seek submissions containing original research on all aspects of cryptology that are motivated by their applicability to ad hoc networks, including wireless, cellular, sensor, mesh, peer-to-peer and RFID-based networks. Short surveys of related sub-areas are also encouraged. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics that are of interest to this workshop, when clearly motivated by and clearly focusing on ad hoc networks (cryptology papers not focusing on or not describing applications to ad hoc networks do not fit in the workshop interest area): - Modeling of cryptographic tasks - Solutions to cryptographic tasks under party mobility - Solutions to cryptographic tasks under resource constraints - Secure routing - Bootstrapping of security associations - Distributed public-key infrastructures - Key-agreement, key-management and key-(pre)distribution - Entity authentication - Trust establishment - Privacy-enhancing technologies - Threshold cryptography - Identity-Based cryptography - Policy-based cryptography - Secure multi-party protocols - Security in distributed algorithms and protocols ________________________________ Important Dates: Paper submissions due:April 30th, 2006 Notifications to the authors:May 30th, 2006 Camera-ready papers dueJune 14th, 2006 ICALP 06 ConferenceJuly 9-16 2006 WCAN 06 WorkshopJuly 16th, 2006 ________________________________ Author Instructions: Two Paper Categories: Regular papers and Surveys.

In recent years, WSN applications based on simple sense-and-send type operations are replaced by more sophisticated applications that require guarantees from WSNs in communication and information processing. While service guarantees in wireless ad hoc networks have been researched in the past, these solutions cannot be directly applied to WSNs due to limited resource environment and large scale of WSNs. Solutions developed for WSNs must not only cater to the requirements of applications, but also conserve valuable energy resources of sensor nodes, be adaptive to unexpected changes, and operate in loose coordination with the rest of the network. These requirements also highlight the need for cross-layer design and interactions between sensor hardware, protocol layers, and application middleware. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in the area of wireless sensor networks. Papers describing protocols, models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of WSNs are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - WSN cross-layer protocol suites - Real-time communication in WSNs - Protocols for application-level service guarantees for WSNs - WSN capacity modeling and analysis - Application modeling for WSNs - Application admission methods for WSNs - Joint data processing and communication solutions for WSNs - Fault-tolerant communication and data processing in WSNs - Topology control and network reconfiguration - Localization, synchronization, and mobility - Security issues, solutions, and models - Novel WSN architectures and applications - Experimental and testbed studies of WSNs Submission Instructions: ------------------------ Full papers must be submitted in PDF format by e-mail to ekici(a)ece.osu.edu.

It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to ponder. On the one hand, we see present day mobile devices capable of providing many integrated services that only yesterday required several different devices. For instance, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and the desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand, the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems outlined above towards a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting the goal of a Personalized Network. * Addressing and routing * Architectural framework of personalized networks * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Dependability * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of person-centric applications * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Multimedia services for personalized networks * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Resource, service and context discovery * Security, privacy and accounting * Self-organization and adaptation * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, which attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] First International Workshop on "Wireless mesh: moving towards applications" (WiMeshNets 2006) Datum: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 12:30:21 +0100 Von: Nicola Scalabrino <nicola.scalabrino(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, manet(a)ietf.org CALL FOR PAPERS WiMeshNets 2006 (http://wimeshnets.org) First International Workshop on "Wireless mesh: moving towards applications" (Co-located with QShine 2006, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) August 10, 2006 Recent advances in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) provide promising opportunities in communication paradigms. WMNs do not depend on wired communication infrastructure and their mesh connectivity provides inherent built-in redundancy. This makes them also good candidates for providing an alternative communication mechanism in the face of disasters when normal communication infrastructure is destroyed. WMNs build upon multi-hop forwarding of data packets from access nodes towards gateways to the fixed network and thus share many properties of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. So far almost all existing research effort related to Mobile Ad Hoc networks has been based mostly on the assumptions that the nodes are highly mobile and are mainly battery operated. Thus, most of the protocols and mechanisms try to conserve energy and cope with frequent topology changes. In WMNs these assumptions can be relaxed which enables the design of new protocols and services for WMNs. Supporting any application over wireless mesh networks is however a challenging task due to the multi-hop forwarding of packets which also limits the scalability of WMNs. Nevertheless, WMNs have promising commercial potential as they are supposed to provide cheap wireless network coverage and access. Towards this aim the traditional approaches to routing and to service provisioning should be reconsidered taking into account the intrinsic characteristics of WMNs and those of new and emerging applications. This could pave the way to the assessment of this technology which is expected to conquer new markets in the next few years by taking advantage of the growth of heterogeneous networks. Authors are invited to submit original full papers not currently under review by other conferences on any aspect of “Wireless mesh: moving towards applications”. Contributions describing theoretical research, protocol design, experiments and measurements, commercial deployments, business models, or position/vision statements are all encouraged. Descriptions of work in progress, test trials, and future work plans are highly appreciated. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Architectures for Wireless Mesh Networks • Middleware support in Wireless Mesh Networks • Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks • Fairness Issues for Wireless Mesh Networks • Multicasting and Broadcasting issues in Wireless Mesh Networks • Security and Intrusion Detection for Wireless Mesh Networks • Handoff and mobility management in Wireless Mesh Networks • System prototypes and experimental evaluation of Wireless Mesh Networks • Scheduling and Queuing mechanisms to provide QoS in Wireless Mesh Networks • Gaming applications over Wireless Mesh Networks • Service level agreement and mesh organization • Modeling and Performance Evaluation • Seamless internetworking with other type of networks (like sensor networks) • Cross Layer Design and Interactions in Wireless Mesh Networks • Transport Layer Protocols over Wireless Mesh Networks • Deployment and configuration management • Voice and Video over Wireless Mesh Networks • Traffic Modeling • Mesh Networking Proposal Standards for IEEE 802(R) Wireless Lans • Authentication, Charging and Cooperation for Wireless Mesh Networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the same manner as those of QShine, and will be available from the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers will be required to register in order for the paper to appear in the workshop proceedings. Important dates Full paper manuscript due: May 12, 2006 Midnight US EST Acceptance Notification: June 13, 2006 Camera ready manuscripts due: June 30, 2006 Workshop date: August 10, 2006 Submission Instructions Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the full paper in English language.
