-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP IEEE COM MAG Special Issue on QoS based Routing Algorithms for heterogeneous networks Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2006 12:14:55 +0100 From: Abdelhamid Mellouk <mellouk(a)univ-paris12.fr> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, arp(a)cines.fr, <tarot(a)hds.utc.fr>, <membres-asf(a)irisa.fr>, <lifl(a)lifl.fr>, <rge(a)u-strasbg.fr>, <reres(a)laas.fr> Dear Friends and Colleagues, Please note the following CFP: Deadline for Papers Submission is june 1st. Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine, http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/cfpcommag0207.htm Special Issue on "Quality of Service based Routing Algorithms for Heterogeneous Networks" Background Currently, due to the growing needs in telecommunications (VoD, Video-Conference, VoIP, etc.) and the diversity of transported flows, Internet network does not meet the requirements of future integrated-service networks, which will carry out multimedia data traffic with a high Quality of Service (QoS). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high quality control mechanism to check the network traffic load and ensure QoS requirements. It's clear that the integration of these QoS parameters will increase the complexity of the algorithms used in heterogeneous networks. Thus, there will be QoS relevant technological challenges in today emerging heterogeneous networks that include different types of networks (e.g., wired, wireless, mobile, etc.). We shall focus in this special topic on QoS routing policies, and their effectiveness on heterogeneous wired and wireless networks. Thus, in this special issue, we are seeking papers that explore routing algorithms which take into account the dynamic's change of communication networks and discuss their advantages and drawbacks when compared to traditional solutions. Compared to the previous special issues on the integration of QoS, this issue will focus on a tutorial-based approach, and on the evolution of routing decisions applied in heterogeneous networks, which may include the load level traffic patterns and topology of the network changes, that the routing policy adapts the decision's router. Scope of Contributions Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance on all aspects of QoS routing policies and related areas with concrete experimental studies to show the validity of their approach. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but are not limited to : - Dynamic state-dependent routing policies - Quality of Service policies versus Best effort policies - Routing in hybrid Networks - Dynamic Routing in inband or outband network control protocols - Traffic shaping in QoS Routing - Policy-Based Management in QoS Routing - Ad hoc networking routing solutions for heterogenous wired and wireless networks - The role of dynamic routing in irregular traffic networks - QoS based routing and data gathering protocols for wireless sensor networks Submission Instructions For manuscript submission, the authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines under "Information for Authors" at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

Both the requirements and expectations from various perspectives (i.e., networking, middleware and application level) were presented and analyzed. NGNM05 held on May 2005, in conjunction with Networking 2005 conference in Waterloo, Canada, focused on the identification of composite business services running on an Internet middleware platform that allows enterprises/networking actors to publish the services they provide, use services available globally in a secure manner and automatically compile the various services descriptions into executable processes. The special issue on “Emerging Middleware for Next Generation Networks” of Computer Communications journal complemented the success of NGNM04 and NGNM05. NGNM06 targets to address the challenges of middleware platforms required for new generation mobile/wireless heterogeneous radio networks and services. Mobile/Wireless middleware is anticipated to increase the performance of applications running across potentially mixed wireless networks, to support multiple mobile/wireless devices, to provide continuous wireless access to content and services, to ensure end-to-end QoS and secure content and services delivery and to offer cross-system and cross-layer optimization taking into account issues related to usage behavior, mobility patterns, traffic profiling, network selection and relevant horizontal/vertical handovers. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished works as well as works on progress in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: · Middleware support for micro/macro/multi-domain mobility · Emerging Information Models and Frameworks (i.e., MPEG-21) · Specification and enforcement of QoS · Interworking between Heterogeneous Middleware Technologies · Self-managing networks (self-healing, self-optimizing, self-protecting and self-configuring) · Programmable, Active and Adaptive Networks · Wireless Grids Middleware · Grid-enabled Networking Middleware · Performance evaluation and modeling in Wireless/Mobile Middleware · Middleware support for cross-system and cross-layer optimization · Middleware security, including authentication and authorization *_Submissions _* The workshop welcomes original and review papers from academic and industry contributors dealing with the above or related issues. All submissions will be subjected to review by two reviewers. Papers should be up to 6000 words in English, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. To submit a paper, send an email to Prof. George Kormentzas (gkorm(a)aegean.gr), containing the title, the authors' names, e-mail and post addresses, phone and fax numbers, identification of the contact author, and attach to the same message your paper in DOC format.
