[Fwd: The IEEE/ACM ToN paper submission process]
by Lars Wolf 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: The IEEE/ACM ToN paper submission process Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 13:24:22 -0400 From: Erich Nahum <nahum(a)turing.acm.org> Reply-To: Erich Nahum <nahum(a)turing.acm.org> To: SIGCOMM-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG This message is from Don Towsley, Editor-In-Chief of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking --Erich ----- Begin forwarded message ----- Folks, For several years the EiC of ToN has been making assignments of papers to the Editorial board once a month. This started way before I took over as EiC and there are several reasons for this. First, the task of making assignments is time consuming; doing once a month rather than either once a week or as papers are submitted requires a greater time commitment on the part of the EiC of ToN. Second, the number of papers that arrive each month is nearly the same as the number of Associate Editors. A monthly assignment makes the task of load balancing among AEs easier. Third, AEs can more easily plan for these assignments when they occur at a regular time each month. I bring this to your attention because this process can be advantageous to prospective authors. My intention as EiC of ToN is to assign to AEs all papers submitted by the 25-th of a month during the first week of the following month. Feel free to to take advantage of this and use the extra time to further improve your submission. I would also like to point out that approximately ten days go by between when a paper is assigned to an AE and we notify the authors of this assignment. This period allows for the identification of conflicts of interest and papers unsuitable for ToN. In most cases, however, AEs begin the review process immediately after they receive their assignments. So, please do not be alarmed by the delays that you perceive before you learn which AE has been assigned to your paper. In most cases the review process is already under way. Last, I am working on how to reduce the delays before authors obtain a first decision. However, there is only so much that I can do. This consists of streamlining the review process. This includes identifying papers unsuitable for ToN and papers that clearly have no chance of making it through the review process as quickly as possible. Doing so reduces both the burden on AEs and on reviewers. I have some other ideas that I will report on at another time. It is really important that you do your part as well. In the end, the quality of the journal and the timeliness of the published papers depend on your willingness to review papers. So I ask you to PLEASE agree to review papers for the journal and when you do, to do so in a timely manner. Ultimately, your willingness to submit high quality papers and to review other submissions is the key to the success of ToN. Finally, I am always looking for suggestions on how to improve ToN; please send me your comments. Thanks Don Towsley EiC, IEEE/ACM ToN ton(a)cs.umass.edu ----- End forwarded message -----

An increasing number of articles dealing with the graphics, the robotics or the artificial intelligence of games are to be found in journals dedicated to those topics. Moreover, during recent years various new journals have been founded dealing with aspects of games design. However, more general questions about the programming of games have not received much attention of late. To fill this gap, the team of Science of Computer Programming (SCP) decided to dedicate a special issue to all aspects of games programming including formal methods, tools and languages. SCP is an International journal of Elsevier that focuses on theoretical and practical aspects of software systems development, maintenance and use. SCP is a quality journal that guarantees high visibility and a fast track for publication. The guest editor solicits high-quality, new contributions that may address (but need not be limited to) the following questions: * Which programming languages are being used and why? * Have any extensions of programming languages been developed, particularly for games? * What generative (3rd generation) systems are currently available? * What can be said about methodology, life cycle and quality control?. * Are there any specific problems related to the programming of massive multi player games? * What can be said about the system administration of massive multi player games? * What software agents are being used? Deadline for submissions : January 15, 2006 Author's notification : March 15, 2006 Final version : August 1, 2006 Special issue's publication : Fall 2006 The submissions should be sent in PDF or Postscript to the guest editors via email: vlijmen(a)science.uva.nl. Authors who want to discuss potential submissions are encouraged to contact the guest editor at kleeuw(a)science.uva.nl.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks Journal Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2005 11:21:25 -0500 From: Jelena Misic <jmisic(a)cs.umanitoba.ca> To: <TC-comswtc(a)comsoc.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, "ITC" <List(a)comsoc.org> CC: ian(a)ece.gatech.edu, "Dr. Mukesh Singhal" <singhal(a)cs.uky.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS A SPECIAL ISSUE on "SECURITY IN AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS" Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc/ Guest editors: Jelena Misic, University of Manitoba Mukesh Singhal, University of Kentucky There is an increasing demand of measures to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, of transmitted data as well to ensure availibility of ad hoc and sensor networks all the time. Ad Hoc networks are characterized with power-efficient protocols with cross-layer interactions where sensor networks are even more restricted with the requirement for the simplicty and power efficiency of hardware and protocol design which require stronger interactions among the protocol layers. It is therefore, necessary to evaluate security of ad-hoc and sensor networks and come up with efficient tradeoffs between design complexity, power efficiency and security aspects. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to promote further research interests and activities on security in ad hoc and sensor networks. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers in all aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks security. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 1) Authenication and authorization 2) Key distribution and management 3) Secure routing 4) Vulnerability analysis 5) Trust management 6) Intrusion detection (cross-layer modeling and analysis of misbehavior) 7) Intrusion response and tolerance 8) Cross layer study of Denial of Service attacks 9) Study of attack strategies and attack modeling 10) Performance analysis of secure medium access control 11) Evaluation of security architectures supported by IEEE 802.15.1, 802.15.3 and 802.15.4 protocols 12) Study of tradeoffs between security and system performance Paper Submission Submit full papers as PDF files by email to siadhoc(a)cs.umanitoba.ca. The papers must be less than twenty single-column, double-spaced pages, excluding figures, tables, and references, using a 12-point font size. For detailed formatting instructions,please refer to the guidelines available at the AD HOC Networks journal web site, http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc/.

[Fwd: CFP, deadline approaching - Special Issue on Cooperation in Wireless Networks - Springer, Wireless Personal Communications]
by Lars Wolf 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP, deadline approaching - Special Issue on Cooperation in Wireless Networks - Springer, Wireless Personal Communications Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 16:37:43 +0200 From: Antonella Molinaro <molinaro(a)deis.unical.it> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org [Apologies for multiple copies] This is a reminder that the submission deadline for the Special Issue on "Cooperation in Wireless Networks" Springer, Wireless Personal Communications, is rapidly approaching (*October 1st*). The call for papers can be found at _http://kom.aau.dk/~ff/CfPCoNet.html _SCOPE OF SPECIAL ISSUE Cooperation between devices in wireless networks has been identified as one of the key technology enablers required to facilitate next generation wireless communication systems. Much of the existing research in wireless networking assumes a communication between one sender and one or multiple receiver(s). For reasons of self-interest, users may however allow terminals to engage in cooperative behavior, resulting in improved overall network performance. For cooperation, terminals will connect to each other using a short range communication link and simultaneously being connected to the centralized access point. This configuration allows many forms of cooperation. For this special issue, we distinguish between altruism and cooperation by requiring that cooperation benefit each entity involved. From this perspective, pure relaying is an example of altruism and not cooperation. Cooperation is not limited to a single ISO/OSI protocol layer, but can be addressed across multiple protocol layers. The focus of this call is to solicit novel papers addressing cooperation over all protocol layers from physical to application layer. SUBMISSION AND IMPORTANT DATES Papers should follow the Springer format (11pt, single column, double spaced) and not exceed twenty pages including figures and tables. Original papers should be send by submission deadline to *cooperation(a)kom.aau.dk *Submission deadline 1st October 2005 Notification 15th January 2006 Final version 15th February 2006 Planed Issue 2nd half 2006 TOPICS OF INTEREST Original papers are invited in the area of cooperation in wireless networks. Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas of cooperative wireless networks: Architectural Principles Multi–Access Capability Network Coding Radio Access Technologies Cooperative Processing Resource Management Distributed Radio Cooperative Channel Coding Heterogenous Networks Terminal design Self–organizing networks Cognitive Networks Middle-Ware Grid–Computing Source coding for cooperation Cooperating Services GUEST EDITORS Frank H.P.
