Its importance is unequivocally recognized by research organizations, businesses and governments worldwide. To maintain global competitiveness, governments are mandating, encouraging or actively supporting the adoption of IPv6 to prepare their respective economies for the future communication infrastructures. In the United States, government’s plans to migrate to IPv6 has stimulated significant interest in the technology and accelerated the adoption process. Business organizations are also increasingly mindful of the IPv4 address space depletion and see within IPv6 a way to solve pressing technical problems. At the same time IPv6 technology continues to evolve beyond IPv4 capabilities. Communications equipment manufacturers and applications developers are actively integrating IPv6 in their products based on market demands. IPv6 creates opportunities for new and more scalable IP based services while representing a fertile and growing area of research and technology innovation. The efforts of successful research projects, progressive service providers deploying IPv6 services and enterprises led to a significant body of knowledge and expertise. It is the goal of this workshop to facilitate the dissemination and exchange of technology and deployment related information, to provide a forum where academia and industry can share ideas and experiences in this field that could accelerate the adoption of IPv6. The workshop brings together IPv6 research and deployment experts that will share their work. The audience will hear the latest technological updates and will be provided with examples of successful IPv6 deployments; it will be offered an opportunity to learn what to expect from IPv6 and how to prepare for it.

To exploit these potentialities, simulation modeling and theoretical analyses have to be complemented by real experiences (e.g., measurements on real prototypes) which provide both a direct evaluation of ad hoc networks and, at the same time, precious information to realistically model these systems. The need for more experimental activities stimulated a new community of researchers combining theoretical research on ad hoc networking with experiences/measurements obtained by implementing ad hoc network prototypes. The aim of REALMAN is to bring together this community. Following the success of the first edition, this workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing measurement studies and experiences based on real ad hoc network test-beds and prototypes. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols *development*, *measurement* and *testing*, in all areas related to ad hoc networking. We encourage authors willing to submit a regular paper to also submit a *demo* proposal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Ad Hoc Networks Applications * System Prototypes and Experiences * Mobile Ad Hoc Networks * Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks * Sensor Networks * Mesh Networks * Vehicular Networks * Protocols Implementation and Testing * Middleware Platforms for Ad Hoc Networks * Ad Hoc Networking for Pervasive Environments * Situated Autonomic Communications * Location Services * Positioning and Tracking Technologies and Services * Measurement Studies * Mobility Models based on Real Data * Enabling Technologies (802.11, 802.15, etc.) * Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks DEMO SESSION A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing real prototypes at work. Demo proposals are highly welcome, and will be evaluated by the Program Committee. An extended abstract (up to three pages) describing the demo will be published in the workshop proceedings.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call For Papers: Wireless Mesh Networks Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2006 13:54:38 -0500 (EST) From: Xudong Wang <wxudong(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAl ISSUE ON WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc/ Guest editors: Xudong Wang, Kiyon, Inc. Edward Knightly, Rice University Marco Conti, National Research Council, Italy Anthony Ephremides, University of Maryland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless mesh networks consist of mesh clients and mesh routers. Mesh routers form a wireless backbone via multi-hop ad-hoc networking but with minimal-mobility. The mesh backbone provides network access for both wired and wireless clients including mesh clients, and enables the integration of various wired and wireless networks. Mesh clients can run as a mobile ad hoc network. However, in order to achieve much better network performance, it is always preferable for them to work under the coordination of mesh routers. Due to the existence of a mesh backbone, wireless mesh networks possess many advantages over other wireless networks, and are expected to be one of the most promising wireless networking technologies. Despite recent progresses in wireless mesh networks, many research issues still remain. This special issue is dedicated to state-of-the-art research achievements in the area of wireless mesh networking. The papers must focus on research problems that are specific to wireless mesh networking, rather than on generic topics of ad-hoc or multi-hop networking. This special issue will cover all aspects of wireless mesh networking. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Mesh network architecture and performance analysis Mesh network capacity Scalability issues and solutions Medium access control and routing protocols Protocol design for MIMO, adaptive antenna, reconfigurable radios, software radios, and cognitive radios Cross-layer design and optimization QoS and multimedia traffic over wireless mesh networks Topology, power, and mobility management Interworking between heterogeneous networks and adaptive protocols Network self-organization and self-configuration Trustworthy networks and security algorithms Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems Testbed, deployment, and application practice Authors must submit their manuscripts through Elsevier Editorial System at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/, and must choose article type as Special Issue-Wireless Mesh Networks.

Prasad, DoCoMo Comm. Labs. Europe GmbH, Munich, Germany Selim Aissi, Intel Corporation, Portland, USA Sunghyun Choi, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea Jeevarathinam Ravikumar, Consistel, Singapore Scope of Special Issue Mobile communication has evolved in a rapid pace from the introduction of Analog Cellular networks in 1980s. Technology has gone through tremendous changes in terms of security, access techniques, protocol stacks, bandwidth usage and also convergence into packet switching based on All-IP network from the conventional circuit switched techniques. Complexity has increased due to the introduction of different access technologies, available services, and other aspects as mentioned above during the telecom evolution for the past 20 years. Pressure is mounting to harmonize various technologies under a common IP backbone so that seamless handover can be provided that exploits the benefits of available radio access technologies. Seamless handover should be achieved not only for Inter-Technology but also for Inter-Operator handover. Operators and the consumers will be greatly benefited in terms of cost effectiveness, enhanced features, location independence and ease of use through the introduction of seamless heterogeneous handover mechanisms. Several standardization activities have already started working on technical solutions for seamless handover. One of the well known activities is that of next-generation networks (NGN) making use of IMS based solution for service provisioning and handover between fixed and mobile operators. Within 3GPP and 3GPP2, activities are on-going to provision handover between different technologies and recently, in 3GPP, between different domains. This activity within 3GPP falls under All-IP Network (AIPN) System Architecture Evolution (SAE)/Radio Access Network (RAN) Long Term Evolution (LTE). IEEE 802 is also looking into media-independent handover (MIH) in 802.21 while 802.11u is working on inter-technology handover. Handover enhancement within IEEE 802.11 is taking place within Task Group R (TGr). IETF has produced some solutions in the seamoby working group while further enhancements are being done in various other groups including mobopts, mipshop and mobike. Along with standardization activities, various operators and vendors are also involved in developing harmonized solution for heterogeneous networks, like, UMA. At the same time a lot of research and development activities are taking place by academia, research institutes and industries too. So far, the work has focused on one specific topic of handover such as security, QoS, and routing. However, the focus should be on developing an end-to-end network perspective that covers the whole span of the network from radio aspects to OSS aspects that includes value added services. With the above background, this special issue invites people to present papers on seamless handover in heterogeneous networks in the following (but, not limited to) areas: - Handover security - Solutions for mobility support - Charging and billing, and AAA infrastructure - Fraud Management across various networks - Access Control techniques in heterogeneous networks - QoS provisioning for inter-technology and intra-/inter-domain handover - Content provisioning and seamless use of VAS across different networks - Standardization activities - Testbed or measurement results Important dates Deadline of paper submissions: 15th May 2006 Notification of acceptance: 1st October 2006 Final Manuscripts Due: 1st November 2006 Publication of Feature Topic: February 2007 Submission Papers should follow the Springer format (11pt, single column, double spaced) and not exceed twenty pages including figures and tables.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] International Conference on Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing - Symposium on "Next Generation Mobile Networks" Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 13:30:18 -0500 From: Shahrokh Valaee <valaee(a)comm.utoronto.ca> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> International Conference on Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (IWCMC 2006) Sheraton Wall Centre, Vancouver, Canada, July 3-6, 2006 http://www.iwcmc2006.cs.wmich.edu/ Symposium on “Next Generation Mobile Networks” http://conferences.ece.ubc.ca/ngmn2006/ CALL FOR PAPERS Scope: Next generation mobile networks are expected to allow subscribers to transparently access broadband multimedia services via multiple wireless and wireline access networks. Evolution towards next generation mobile networks is already taking place through the interworking of third generation (3G) cellular systems such as UMTS and cdma2000 with other broadband wireless access technologies such as WiFi hotspots and WiMax to provide mobile users with anytime anywhere access to broadband multimedia services over the Internet. The next generation mobile networks will also be shaped by emerging standards for wireless access from mobile terminals, e.g., IEEE 802.20, and for integration of heterogeneous wireless access networks, e.g., IEEE 802.21. Interworking of diverse wireless and wireline access technologies into a converged global network will provide many technical challenges. Due to the heterogeneity in the wireless access techniques and the requirements of multimedia services, the issue of QoS provisioning and enforcement in the future generation mobile networks will become a critical issue for the wireless access equipment vendors, networks service providers, and customers. Cross-layer protocol engineering along with application-oriented signaling protocols, and creation of new services will be required for efficient network resource utilization and to bring profitability to the service providers. The symposium on “Next Generation Mobile Networks” will provide a timely technical forum for the dissemination of new results in this exciting research area. It will cover key aspects of B3G/4G mobile networks, particularly architectures, protocols and management techniques to coordinate heterogeneous wireless access networks and integrate them into a common core network, and services and applications that take advantage of this integrated network platform. Papers addressing areas such as protocol engineering, resource management, mobility management, handoff management, QoS provisioning, authentication, authorization and accounting, performance analysis and optimization models are encouraged. Symposium Topics: Topics include but are not limited to: * Next generation broadband wireless mobile network architectures and protocols * Heterogeneous wireless mobile networks * Internetworking among heterogeneous wireless and wire-line networks * Integration of 3G and broadband wireless networks (e.g., IEEE 802.16a) * Integration of 3G and meshed (multi-hop) wireless networks * Scheduling, call admission control, bandwidth adaptation, and error control protocols * Solar powered wireless mobile networks and protocols for energy efficiency * Pricing models for broadband mobile multimedia networks * Service provisioning through IP multimedia subsystem * Application-oriented protocols * Modeling, performance evaluation, and optimization techniques * Mobility, location and handoff management in heterogeneous mobile networks * QoS specification and metrics for mobile multimedia networks * Multimedia QoS and traffic management in mobile networks * Network resource management and QoS provisioning * Multi-protocol architectures and devices * Network control and signaling * Proxies and middleware for wireless mobile networks * Next generation broadband satellite systems * Terrestrial-satellite integration scenarios & techniques * Cross-layer protocol engineering for wireless mobile networks * Mobile multicasting * Wireless mobile network security and privacy * Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) over heterogeneous mobile networks * Emerging applications of wireless mobile networks (e.g., wireless telemedicine) Schedule: * Paper submission deadline: January 30, 2006 * Notification of acceptance: March 30, 2006 * Final manuscript due: April 30, 2006 Symposium Chair: Victor C.

The associated communication channels and traffic patterns in mobile wireless networks are more unpredictable than the traditional wire-line networks. On the other hand, the future multimedia applications impose stringent and diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, which cannot be satisfactorily addressed through the traditional layering network-protocol architecture. Correspondingly, a cross-layer design paradigm would be needed to achieve transmission protocol stack performance while meeting these new challenges in QoS requirements. The cross-layer designs and protocols tend to be very essential approaches for the mobile wireless and ad hoc networks where unpredictable variables such as node mobility, node density, network dimensions make the diverse and stringent wireless QoS requirements even harder to satisfy. Cross-layer designs and protocols are the emerging research areas where some early results have recently been reported in the literatures, but the upcoming new applications and more stringent/diverse wireless QoS requirements open even more new opportunities for many interesting and comprehensive research topics targeting at concepts, methodologies, and techniques to support the future advanced mobile wireless applications. Clearly, the developments of the new schemes, mechanisms, and systems associated with the cross-layer designs and protocols will have a significant impact on the next generation of mobile wireless communications and networks. Scope of Contributions: The focuses of the papers to be published in the IEEE International Cross-Layer Designs and Protocols Symposium will concentrate on the state-of-the-art research in various aspects of cross-layer designs and protocols for the next-generation mobile wireless communications networks. We solicit the original papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the following areas: Methodologies for cross-layer protocol design in mobile wireless networks Cross-layer strategies for wireless multimedia communications Cross-layer error and delay control Cross-Layer Optimization for Energy, Network Lifetime, and Capacity Communication Networks and Layered Network Architectures Complexity and Scalability Issues in Cross-Layer Design Physical Layer Information for MAC/Radio Link Control (RLC) Protocols Signaling for Cross-Layer Protocol Interaction QoS and Radio Resource Management in Layered Networks Channel Access Algorithms for Cross-Layered Wireless Networks Routing, mobility management, and congestion control Performance Optimization for Cross-Layer Design of Wireless Network Cross-Layer Design of MAC, RLC, and Routing Protocols in Wireless Networks Software Defined Radio and Dynamic Wireless Networks Call Admission Control for Ad Hoc Networks Architectures for cross-layer protocol design in mobile wireless networks Adaptation for Energy Minimization in Cross-Layer Wireless Networks Cross-Layer Design issues for QoS provisioning in Wireless Networks Layer Adaptation Based on Cross-Layer Notifications Signal Processing for Cross-Layer Design Cross-Layer Strategies and end-to-end QoS Special Projects in Cross-Layer Design Cross-Layer Strategies in Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks Interactions among PHY/MAC/RLC & transport layer protocols (e.g., TCP/UDP) Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control Cross-layer design of MAC/RLC/Routing protocols in wireless ad hoc network Cross-layer adaptation for energy minimization in wireless networks Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications Cross-layer strategies and end-to-end quality of service Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results Overview/survey of the special undergoing/planned projects Standardization-issues/status-reports of various standards organizations.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ISCC06] Personalized Networks'06 cfp Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 16:31:52 +0100 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: iscc2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call for papers ============================================================ First International Workshop on Personalized Networks To be held in conjunction with: The 3rd Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networks and Services (MOBIQUITOUS 2006) July 17-21, 2006 - San Jose, California, USA http://www.wmc.ewi.tudelft.nl/~martin/pnets/ ============================================================ Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: April 1, 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://www.wmc.ewi.tudelft.nl/~martin/pnets/ 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 Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: The 3rd International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06) Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2006 12:20:23 -0500 From: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Reply-To: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: University of Guelph To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> We apologize if you received multiple copies of this Call for Papers. ********************* UIC-06 ************************* The 3rd International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06) - Building Smart Worlds on Real and Cyber Spaces - http://grid.hust.edu.cn/uic06/ Organized by Huazhong Univ. of Sci. and Tech. (HUST) Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying) Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006 ****************************************************** Following ubiquitous computers, networks, information, services, etc., is a road towards a smart world (SW) created on both real and cyber spaces. A SW is mainly characterized by ubiquitous intelligence (UI) or computational intelligence pervasive in the physical world, filled with ubiquitous intelligent or smart things, that are capable of computing, communicating, and behaving smartly with some intelligence. One of the profound implications of such ubiquitous smart things is that various kinds and levels of intelligence will exist ubiquitously in everyday objects, environments, systems and even ourselves, and possibly be extended from man-made to natural things. "Ubicomp" or "percomp" can be regarded as the computing of all these intelligent/smart things/u-things, that are essential elements and components of the SW. A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the ubiquitous world with universal services of any means/place/time to the SW of trustworthy services with the right means/place/time. UIC-06 is a successor of the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart Worlds (UISW2005, Japan, Dec. 2005) which succeeds the 1st Int'l Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW2005,Taipei, Mar. 2005). It offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments, and systems as well as discuss various personal/social/physical issues faced by UI and SWs. Topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects * Electronic Label, Card, E-Tag and RFID * Embedded Chips, Sensor & Actuator * MEMS, NEMS, Mote & Biometric Device * Everyday Good, Artifact, Robot, etc. * Smart Appliance and Wearable Device * Material, Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc. * Emerging Intelligent/Smart Objects * Embedded Software and Agents 2. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Environments * Room, Home, Office, Laboratory, etc. * Building, Library, School, Campus, etc. * Shop, Clinic, Hospital and Health Care * Street, Yard, Park, Ground, City, etc. * Vehicle, Road, Traffic & Transportation * Land, Pool, Space and Hyperspace * Learning, Sport, Entertainment, etc. * Novel Intelligent/Smart Applications 3. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Systems * Sensor, Ad Hoc & Intelligent Networks * Knowledge Representation and Ontology * Wearable, Personal and Body Area Systems * OS, Middleware and Intelligent Association * Intelligent Service Architecture, Grid & Mesh * Massive Agents, Swarm/Amorphous Systems * Proactive, Autonomic and Organic Systems * Novel Intelligent/Smart Systems 4. Personal/Social/Physical Aspects * Real/Cyber World Modeling and Semantics * End-User Interface, Control & Programming * Social/Natural/Physical Model of UI & SW * User/Object Identity and Activity Recognition * Security, Privacy, Trust and Legal/Policy Issues * Emotional, Ethical and Psychological Factors * Implication and Impact of UI and SW * Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds ==IMPORTANT DATES== Submission Deadline: March 10, 2006 Authors Notification: May 10, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: June 10, 2006 ==ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION== Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file.
