In parallel to the Internet, mobile communications also has evolved to an integral component in our everyday life providing a growing variety of services. Industry is pushing new standards that allow high data rate multimedia applications as well as seamless communication across heterogeneous radio and network technologies. The success of the next generation mobile telecommunication systems will again depend on the services and applications that can be provided. These future systems are expected to integrate the paradigms of traditional mobile telecommunication systems with the Internet protocols and software engineering methods. New paradigms will emerge. For example, the customer acceptance is considered to be widely increased by tailoring services and applications to actual user needs, their preferences and the context a user is in. Ubiquitous services receive increased user acceptance (e.g., Peer-to-Peer). A well engineered next generation service platform should provide all capabilities to allow innovative services to be created and deployed in short time addressing user needs. Third party interfaces allow a chaining of expertise in service provisioning. Semantic technologies may help to structure knowledge about the user environment. Researchers, practitioners and developers are invited to submit original unpublished papers in the following areas: * Open Service Architectures (open interfaces, third party providers) * Mobile Service Platforms (incl. terminal aspects and mobile middleware) * Service Platforms for ubiquitous communication and P2P * Capabilities and features for next generation mobile services (context-awareness, personalization/personal agent, high quality multimedia, information distribution, adaptation) * Service Building Blocks (service modelling, semantic technologies, service creation, service discovery, service composition, service management) * Privacy and trust as enabling technologies for future service platforms * Mobile service platform prototypes and evaluation * Innovative applications and services This workshop is open to contributions from all experts in service technologies from industry and academia, including bodies such as mITF and WWRF, but not being limited to those. The Mobile IT Forum (mITF) and the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) are both organizations working towards the next generation of mobile communication systems. The two bodies represent each more than 140 member organizations (including companies, universities, and research institutes). Both bodies have dedicated working groups to the architecture/platform challenge. This workshop will be an opportunity to discuss service architecture/platform issues on a highly international level with experts from both bodies.

WORKSHOP ON ENGINEERING SERVICE COMPOSITIONS (WESC'05) In conjunction with the 3rd Int. Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2005) http://www.icsoc.org/ <http://www.icsoc.org/> December 12, 2005 Amsterdam, The Netherlands WESC Workshop Website http://fresco-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wesc05/ <http://fresco-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wesc05/> Paper Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2005 SYNOPSIS ======== The emerging paradigm of service-oriented computing (SOC) introduces ground-breaking concepts for distributed- and e-business processing that are radically changing the way software applications are designed, architected, delivered and consumed. Services, which constitute the heart of SOC, are autonomous platform-independent computational elements that can be described, published, discovered and accessed over the Web using standard protocols. Service-oriented architectures (SOA) leverage the foundational capabilities of computational service models to provide technological as well as conceptual frameworks for a new class of cooperative business applications: agile networks of collaborating business applications distributed within and across organisational boundaries. Consequently, SOA not only includes software technologies to aggregate atomic services into composite services (a.k.a. service composition) but also the software engineering methodology to turn composite services into cooperative business applications (a.k.a. service engineering). In fact, service composition and software engineering are highly interrelated. Service composition not only developed towards the major software technology approach for composing multiple coarse-grained applications over the Web but also originated pioneering concepts such as orchestration and choreography. Such concepts introduce significantly different ways of managing business connectivity, thus making a strong impact on application semantics and vice versa. In order to guarantee a certain quality level of SOA-based cooperative business applications with respect to functional and non-functional requirements, software engineers have to take into account the impacts of service composition models. In the emerging discipline of service engineering, that generally benefits from former research on component- and aspect-oriented software engineering methodologies, there are already promising results on novel conceptual and technological tools to support the development processes of cooperative business applications. However, such tools need to be increasingly aligned with service composition technology. Still, joint approaches on engineering service compositions face several open problems and challenges. Concerning the technology side there is still neither an agreement on service composition models and languages nor on their scope of application; let alone experiences on mission critical operation. As regards methodology , reference architectures of service-oriented cooperative information systems taking into account particularities of the service composition lifecycles are just at the beginning. This is just to name a few of the challenges. GOAL ==== Accordingly, the workshop is intended to bring together experts from service composition technology and service engineering methodology; researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. It is meant to foster discussions about problems and challenges that particularly arise during the practical combination of both fields of expertise for the realisation of service-based, cooperative business information systems. TOPICS ====== WESC'05 welcomes research submissions on all topics related to engineering service compositions, including but not limited to those listed below: Models for composing software applications from services - Models and languages for composition, coordination and aggregation of application software services - Programming abstractions for service composition - High-level abstractions for service composition (workflows, rules, policies...) - Scope and applicability of service composition standards (e.g. BPEL, WSCI) w.r.t. software composition - ... Themes/paradigms for conceptualising service compositions - Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) as composition framework - Service composition as a form of programming in the large - Software services as building blocks for componentware and component-oriented software engineering - Service composition for product line software e.g. in an application service provision (ASP) context - Service composition as a link between software engineering and enterprise application integration (EAI) - Service composition in agent-based software engineering - ...

From the mobile device, airlinks, and internet access network to the applications and services that next generation mobile service providers are to support, only one point seems to enjoy global consensus: we have barely begun to scratch the surface in creating the networks to serve the communication needs of a future media-hungry world equipped with an ever-increasing number of wireless devices. At the core of all this anticipated growth lies the following question: what technology enablers or application drivers will provide the incentive to fuel all these innovations? This panel will elicit thought-provoking discussions on the evolution and/or revolution of wireless and mobile networking technology. Technology experts from government, industry and academia will share their perspectives on which are the key drivers that are likely to support the introduction of innovations. They will also propose technology roadmaps highlighting research, industrial, and political challenges to be addressed. Those who can predict where the next big bang is likely to occur will have a running start in the race to untether the communication services of future generations. -------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL PROGRAM: There are 26 technical sessions!

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: ACM TOIT Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 10:52:24 -0400 From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: "OptimaNumerics" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Papers ACM Transactions on Internet Technology http://www.acm.org/toit Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing http://snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca/~qmahmoud/soa-middleware-cfp.pdf Middleware is a distributed software layer that sits above the network operating system and below the application layer and abstracts the heterogeneity of the underlying environment. It provides an integrated distributed environment whose objective is to simplify the task of programming and managing distributed applications, and to provide value-added services such as naming and transactions to enable easier development and integration of applications and services. Middleware is about integration and interoperability of applications and services running on heterogeneous computing and communications devices. The role of middleware will continue to become increasingly important especially in emerging technologies such as mobile- and service-oriented computing and web services, where the integration of different applications and services from different wired and wireless businesses and service providers become increasingly important. Service-oriented computing is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which is an architectural style for building software applications that use services available in a network such as the web. It promotes loose coupling between software components so that they can be reused. Applications in SOA are built based on services, which is an implementation of a well-define business functionality, and such services can be consumed by clients in different applications or business processes. SOA provides a level of flexibility that was not possible before in the sense that services are software components with well-defined interfaces that are implementation independent, that services can be dynamically discovered, and composite services can be built from aggregates of other services. Especially applications running on mobile devices can benefit from the flexibility which is provided by SOA. All those benefits, however, raise challenges that need to be addressed by middleware. Middleware will play an essential role in managing and provisioning service-oriented applications. As a result, middleware will be everywhere! The aim of this special issue is be to present most recent research findings on “middleware for service-oriented computing”. We are seeking papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: Middleware for selection and interaction among services Middleware for dynamic selection and composition of services/applications Middleware for dynamic coordination of services/applications Middleware for context-aware services/applications Middleware for managing services/applications Middleware for provisioning QoS-enabled services/applications Middleware for interoperable services Performance evaluation of middleware for service-oriented computing Submission Guidelines --------------------- All papers must be submitted by the midnight (EST) of December 1, 2005.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: EURASIP Journal of Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Visual Sensor Networks Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 02:26:35 -0500 From: Dr. Deepa Kundur <deepa(a)ee.tamu.edu> To: comm-theory(a)ieee.org, tccc(a)comsoc.org, multicomm(a)comsoc.org, itc(a)comsoc.org CC: Deepa Kundur <deepa(a)ee.tamu.edu>, Ching-Yung Lin <chingyung(a)us.ibm.com>, Chun-Shien Lu <lcs(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Visual Sensor Networks Call for Papers Research into the design, development, and deployment of networked sensing devices for high-level inference and surveillance of the physical environment has grown tremendously in the last few years. This trend has been motivated, in part, by recent technological advances in electronics, communication networking, and signal processing. Sensor networks are commonly comprised of lightweight distributed sensor nodes such as low-cost video cameras. There is inherent redundancy in the number of nodes deployed and corresponding networking topology. Operation of the network requires autonomous peer-based collaboration amongst the nodes and intermediate data-centric processing amongst local sensors. The intermediate processing known as in-network processing is application-specific. Often, the sensors are untethered so that they must communicate wirelessly and be battery-powered. Initial focus was placed on the design of sensor networks in which scalar phenomena such as temperature, pressure, or humidity were measured. It is envisioned that much societal use of sensor networks will also be based on employing content-rich vision-based sensors. The volume of data collected as well as the sophistication of the necessary in-network stream content processing provide a diverse set of challenges in comparison with generic scalar sensor network research. Applications that will be facilitated through the development of visual sensor networking technology include automatic tracking, monitoring and signaling of intruders within a physical area, assisted living for the elderly or physically disabled, environmental monitoring, and command and control of unmanned vehicles. Many current video-based surveillance systems have centralized architectures that collect all visual data at a central location for storage or real-time interpretation by a human operator. The use of distributed processing for automated event detection would significantly alleviate mundane or time-critical activities performed by human operators, and provide better network scalability. Thus, it is expected that video surveillance solutions of the future will successfully utilize visual sensor networking technologies. Given that the field of visual sensor networking is still in its infancy, it is critical that researchers from the diverse disciplines including signal processing, communications, and electronics address the many challenges of this emerging field. This special issue aims to bring together a diverse set of research results that are essential for the development of robust and practical visual sensor networks.

[Fwd: Call for Papers: Distributed Multimedia Streaming at CCNC 2006]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers: Distributed Multimedia Streaming at CCNC 2006 Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 21:53:22 +0200 From: Pascal Frossard <pascal.frossard(a)epfl.ch> To: <multicomm(a)comsoc.org> Please ignore if you already received this message ===================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 2006 IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2006) January 7-10, 2006 - Las Vegas, USA Special Session on Distributed Multimedia Streaming Multimedia streaming is one of the most popular services on the current Internet. Its already-high demand is even on the rise as the Internet users have started to be familiar with peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies which enable them to share contents between one another directly. Streaming in the P2P manner, in contrast to the traditional client/server approach, takes advantage of existing end-system computational and networking resources, thus allowing economical clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire service community. However, multimedia content is resource demanding while user computing devices are not as powerful as are content servers. Consequently, designing a good decentralized streaming scheme in a large-scale peer-to-peer environment is challenging. The problem becomes more of a challenge due to the ad hoc behavior of peers; they can leave and join the system freely at any time. As people tend to work beyond their office desk, it is also expected that the next generation of communication networks includes rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly without any networking infrastructure such as the Internet and infrastructure-based wireless LANs. In other words, the users form a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). As multimedia streaming becomes an integrated part of an increasing number of applications and wireless networks are emerging to dominate the communication environment of the future, it is interesting and worthwhile to investigate multimedia streaming solutions for MANETs. There are many open issues regarding this investigation due to the deviation between the resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service desired by multimedia streaming users. This special session seeks original contributions of high-quality papers that address novel systems challenges towards the success of multimedia streaming deployment in peer-to-peer, content distribution, and wireless ad hoc networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Signal processing/compression/information theories to support ad hoc multimedia streaming * Modeling, measurement, and performance study on ad hoc multimedia streaming * Internet P2P multimedia streaming * P2P multimedia content distribution networks * Ad hoc overlay solutions for multimedia streaming * Live streaming, video on demand, and video conferencing in wireless ad hoc networks * Network and transport protocols for streaming in wireless ad hoc networks * Management, QoS, and security aspects in streaming over wireless ad hoc networks * Streaming applications in sensor networks * Implementations of multimedia streaming in ad hoc networks Important Dates Paper submission deadline: September 5th, 2005 --- EXTENDED Notification of acceptance: September 30, 2005 Camera-ready version due: October 14, 2005 Special Session Co-Chairs Thinh Nguyen, Oregon State University (thinhq(a)eecs.orst.edu) Duc A. Tran, University of Dayton (duc.tran(a)notes.udayton.edu) Pascal Frossard, EPFL (pascal.frossard(a)epfl.ch) Information for Authors Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers preferably through EDAS (http://edas.info/), or by email to one of the co-chairs.

Devices equipped with these smart radios can monitor and adapt to the radio environment in real time to optimize their performance. They may scan and opportunistically utilize unused radio spectrum bands, thus significantly increasing spectrum access and unleashing tremendous capacity for a plethora of new applications. Coupled with cooperative communication capabilities, these devices may interact with each other to provide spatial diversity so as to achieve higher throughput or save power. In this workshop, papers describing original and significant research contributions to the field of agile/cognitive radios, cooperative networking, and their applications are solicited. All submissions must describe original results that are not published nor currently under review by any another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Software defined radio (SDR) - Platform or prototype of agile/cognitive radios - Spectrum agile (SA) communications - Signal and feature detection - Coexistence and Interference mitigation - Medium access control (MAC) for SA communication - Network architecture for SA communication - Code and modulation design for spatial diversity - Partner detection and selection in cooperative communications - MAC for cooperative communications - Modeling and performance evaluation - Applications for SA or cooperation-based communications IMPORTANT DATES: ---------------- Paper Submission Deadline: 1st Oct 2005 Notification of Acceptance: 31st Oct. 2005 Camera-Ready Paper Due: 30th Nov. 2005 SUBMISSION: ----------- Papers should be submitted in PDF format through EDAS at http://edas.info/Paper.cgi?c=4602.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Wireless Measurements Workshop CFP]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Wireless Measurements Workshop CFP Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 12:17:41 -0700 (PDT) From: Kevin C. Almeroth <almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Second International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurement (WiNMee) (co-located with WiOpt) April 3, 2006 Boston, Massachusetts, USA http://www.winmee.org/ WiNMee 2006 will be the second international workshop on Wireless Network Measurement. The first workshop, WiNMee 2005, was held in Lago di Gardi, Italy and was highly successful with 32 submissions and 13 accepted papers. This year we hope to build on the success of last year by bringing researchers together to discuss the next generation of wireless network measurement research. Wireless networking has attracted much recent interest. Nonetheless, performance evaluation of wireless protocols, networks, and applications are still largely based on simulations. Only recently have researchers turned their attention to measuring real-world networks; building models based on real-world data and using testbeds to more realistically evaluate their proposed ideas. Accurate network measurements have proven to be a different and a greater challenge than in wired networks. Accurate data models that reflect the unique characteristics of wireless networks have also proven to be more of a challenge. Wireless network testbeds have proven to be yet another hard environments in which to work due to the many unique properties of the wireless medium. For example, results in wireless testbeds are often difficult to reproduce due to performance variations caused by location,weather, time of day, and other uncontrollable external variables.Testbeds are also challenging because implementing novel solutions often requires significant changes to the network as well as careful observation and measurement. The committee for WiNMee 2006 is soliciting 6 page papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments, either in testbeds or in the field. Topics include: * Operational experience on the performance of wireless networks * Challenges with wireless measurements * Experimental (in)validation of assumptions in a wireless environments * Metrics for wireless network for performance evaluation * Wireless network troubleshooting techniques and recommendations * Experience with building/designing wireless networks * Description of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds * Techniques for testbed scaling * Techniques for improving experiment repeatability * Techniques for validating results obtained from wireless testbeds * Methods for simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Mobility pattern implementation Important Dates Submission deadline: December 4, 2005 Notification deadline: January 26, 2006 Camera-ready due: February 26, 2006 Workshop: April 3, 2006 Submission Instructions Submitted papers should not exceed 6 pages in length and should be formatted in two columns with a point size greater or equal to 10.
