Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------- Call for Papers IEEE GLOBECOM 2005 Workshop 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Adaptive Wireless Networks (AWiN) November 28th, 2005, St. Louis, Missouri, USA http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2005// Adaptation in mobile wireless networks is motivated by several factors such as time-varying channel conditions, network traffic, mobility, resource constraints, vulnerability to attacks etc. An adaptive algorithm/protocol makes decisions for the future based solely on past and current information. These decisions could be, for example, choosing the transmission band in a spectrum agile wireless network, user scheduling and/or routing depending on link and traffic conditions, wake-up/sleep decisions in a battery constrained sensor network etc. Adaptive protocols have been observed to improve the throughput, utilization and other performance factors. The intent of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their ideas on using adaptive/online/real-time algorithms for optimizing mobile wireless computing and networking. The topics of interest include (but not limited to): Adaptive link layer error control Dynamic spectrum access Cognitive radio Online algorithms and competitive analysis Intelligent resource allocation (e.g., battery power-aware techniques) Dynamic routing protocols Mobility based adaptation Wireless security Application layer rate control (e.g., image/video streaming) Ad hoc and sensor network applications Adaptive scheduling algorithms Adaptive cross-layer optimization Middleware support Test beds, experimentation and standards Submission Instructions: Authors must submit original, not previously published contributions via email to mouli(a)stevens.edu with subject line "AWiN Submission". Manuscripts must be in PDF format and are limited to 5 pages (max) in two column IEEE style format.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers: Distributed Multimedia Streaming at CCNC 2006 Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2005 02:49:24 -0400 From: Duc A. Tran <dr.zigzag(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Duc A. Tran <dr.zigzag(a)gmail.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, manet(a)ietf.org CC: thinhq(a)eecs.orst.edu References: <028401c5896c$fb65c030$6401a8c0@hpn307pc2> 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: August 29, 2005 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 in PS or PDF format to one of the co-chairs via electronic mail. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished work, and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. The first page of the paper should include the authors' names, affiliations, fax/telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The first page should also include a less-than-200-word abstract. The camera-ready version for an accepted paper will be no more than 6 pages in IEEE double-column standard format. Contributions will be reviewed by at least three referees from both the program committee and external reviewers for originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance, and technical contents on basis of papers. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

WSNs are characterized by a need to carefully integrate functionalities traditionally considered to be separate in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, a close interaction of research from different backgrounds is required. Additionally, WSNs are evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, e.g., because actuators in the network have to be supported. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging, miniaturization * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, mobility support, gateways to fixed Internet, providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Operating systems and programming abstractions: novel concepts and tools for programming and debugging sensor nodes, high-level programming abstractions * Middleware and service infrastructures: configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, QoS support, localization and synchronization services, integrating WSN in existing middleware architectures * Information processing: querying, coding, compression, fusion, aggregation, event detection, classification, tracking * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Novel applications: requirements, experiences with real-world applications; the role of WSNs in realizing the visions of Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds, debugging and testing * Models: energy and resource consumption, applications, mobility, and communication For further information, please visit the workshop website (http://www.ewsn.org) or contact the program chairs at <pcchairs(a)ewsn.org>.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Multimedia Service Composition (MSC 05)]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Multimedia Service Composition (MSC 05) Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 11:26:30 -0400 From: Xiaohui Gu <xiaohui(a)us.ibm.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Multimedia Service Composition (MSC05) Singapore, November 13, 2005 http://www.l3s.de/msc05/index.html AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------- Service-oriented architectures promise to introduce a maximum of flexibility and reus-ability of components into multimedia applications. Since most multimedia applications consist of several complex steps, the composition of basic services to achieve more com-plex goals is a mission critical problem. Moreover, important parameters for QoS have to be closely monitored and aggregated along the service chains to predict or guarantee certain values for the execution of complex workflows. Service composition is also a concept strongly discussed and researched in the Web community today. Web services are expected to take over an essential part of everydays responsibilities and their composition is necessary to extend their benefits to even com-plex tasks and value chains. However, most of these Web-based concepts and constructs today suffer from being generally invariant to data types including the new datatypes that are being heavily explored in the multimedia community. Using these well-understood and standardized datatypes the efficient provisioning and improved reusability of compo-nents becomes feasible. Thus, the move from data-driven to service-driven architectures promises to open up a whole new field of value adding multimedia applications dynami-cally built on top of basic components. MSC05 provides a forum for presenting new challenges and research results in multime-dia service composition. Its predecessor was held in the framework of the Brave New Topics (see www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_braveMMservice.htm) at ACM Multimedia Conference 2004 in New York, USA. We invite researchers, and industrial practitioners to participate and share their knowledge in this forum. We solicit the following types of papers: * Research papers (up to 10 pages) * Application/experience papers (up to 10 pages) All accepted papers will be published by the ACM within a dedicated volume for the workshops of ACM Multimedia 2005. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------- Papers should address specific challenges for service composition in multimedia systems, and propose or evaluate methods, architectures and techniques to overcome these chal-lenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - integration of web and multimedia service composition frameworks - system integration aspects in service composition - service composition support in middleware systems - session management for service compositions - service routing and aspects of distribution - role of service discovery in dynamic composition - semantic enhancements for service discovery /selection - service composition and meta-data representation - semantic distances between advertised service capabilities - ontology-based service capability descriptions (e.g. OWL-S) - service interoperability, interface design and impact on QoS - service level agreements and QoS guarantees of service chains - multimedia service personalization and customization - multimedia application decomposition and service modeling - multimedia process workflows and service composition lifecycle PAPER SUBMISSION AND IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished papers.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP -- IEEE JSAC Sampling The Internet: Techniques and Applications Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 14:16:07 +0100 From: Iannaccone, Gianluca <gianluca.iannaccone(a)intel.com> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. All information can be found at http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/sampling_internet.html. Deadline for manuscript submission: OCTOBER 1, 2005. ======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications SAMPLING THE INTERNET: TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS Scope As the Internet continues to grow rapidly in size and complexity, it has become increasingly clear that its evolution is closely tied to a detailed understanding of network traffic. Network traffic measurements are invaluable for a wide range of tasks such as network capacity planning, traffic engineering, fault diagnosis, application and protocol performance profiling, and anomaly detection. This large and diverse set of applications raises the question of how to monitor the Internet in an efficient and scalable way. In the case of active monitoring (where probe packets are sent across the network to infer specific properties) the scalability issue arises from the size of the Internet and the potentially large number of end systems that one needs to instrument, as well as the number of probing experiments that one must conduct. Intuitively, sampling is an essential component of scalable Internet monitoring. Broadly speaking, sampling is the process of making partial observations of a system of interest, and drawing conclusions about the full behaviour of the system from these limited observations. The observation problem is concerned with minimising information loss whilst reducing the volume of collected data. It is this reduction that makes the collection process scalable. The way in which the partial information is transformed into knowledge of the system as a whole is the inversion problem. The inversion is in general imperfect and error-prone. The aim of this issue is to bring together work from researchers and practitioners devoted to the understanding of the practical and theoretical issues related to all aspects of sampling the Internet. In this context, sampling may take various forms. A classic example is to observe only a subset of the packets carried over a link, and then estimate traffic parameters which apply to all packets. Alternatively, one could target a subset of routers with packet probes in order to infer network characteristics such as the topology or routing matrix. Examples abound from a wide variety of application areas within Internet measurement, management, and analysis. Independent of subject area, papers will be in scope if they focus substantially on the sampling aspects of the problem under study, for example by exploring the tradeoff between observation and inversion processes, revealing the limitations of inversion techniques, analysing their properties, or proposing new ones, or by providing new insights by explicitly recognizing the impact of implicit sampling in many measurement studies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sampling and inverting traffic metrics with passive or active systems. - Internet end-to-end measurements seen from a sampling standpoint. - Sampling aspects of network topology inference. - Impact of sampling on anomaly detection. - Mechanisms for sampling live Internet traffic or collected traces. - Theoretical studies of the sampling/inversion problem (e.g., accuracy, complexity). - Distributed and adaptive sampling techniques. - New sampling methods. Submission guidelines Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via email to jsac-sampling at sophia.inria.fr according to the following timetable: Manuscript submission: October 1, 2005 Acceptance notification: March 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: June 1, 2006 Publication: 4th quarter 2006 Guest Editors Chadi Barakat INRIA Planète group 2004, route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia Antipolis France Chadi.Barakat at sophia.inria.fr Gianluca Iannaccone Intel Research 15 JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0FD United Kingdom gianluca.iannaccone at intel.com Jim Kurose Department of Computer Science University of Massachusetts Amherst MA 01003 United States kurose at cs.umass.edu Darryl Veitch CUBIN (ARC Special Research Ctr) Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering University of Melbourne Victoria 3010 Australia dveitch at unimelb.edu.au _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

Based on the emergent trends of mobile communication, 4G will have larger bandwidth, higher data rates, smoother and quicker handoff and will focus on guaranteeing faultless service and seamless handoff across a multitude of wireless networks. The key concept is integrating the 4G capabilities with all of the existing mobile technologies. Special maneuvers will be necessary amongst different access systems in terms of horizontal (intra-system) and vertical (inter-system) handoff as well as seamless mobility, Quality of Service (QoS), dependability and security. In this workshop, we solicit high quality papers from leading researchers that present state-of-the-art research in heterogeneous wireless networks dealing with resource management techniques and QoS provisioning.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE MHWMN'05 (11 July 2005, EXTENDED DEADLINE) Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 12:17:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Final Call for Papers (EXTENDED DEADLINE - 11 July 2005) ======================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks 2005 (IEEE MHWMN'05) http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2005/CFP.html to be held in conjunction with IEEE MASS 2005 (http://www.mass05.wpi.edu/). Washington DC, USA, November 7-11, 2005. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIM and SCOPE: -------------------------- The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks.

[Fwd: WWW2006 Call for Papers]
by Lars Wolf 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: WWW2006 Call for Papers Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 13:19:53 +0100 From: WWW2006 Conference Information <enquiries(a)www2006.org> To: (WWW Research Community) WWW2006 CALL FOR PAPERS The International World Wide Web Conference Committee (IW3C2) invite you to participate in the Fifteenth International World Wide Web Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland on May 22nd-26th 2006. The first international WWW conference was held in 1994 at CERN where the Web was born. Since then, the conference series has been the prime venue for both academics and industries to present, demonstrate, and discuss the latest ideas and developments about the Web. WWW2006 will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. The technical program will include refereed paper presentations, special interest tracks, plenary sessions, panels, and poster sessions. Tutorials and workshops will run before and throughout the conference. A Developers track, devoted to in-depth technical sessions designed specifically for web developers, will run in parallel throughout the conference. The conference will also be running a programme of high-level, non-technical presentations for professionals in media, government, education and commerce to inform and debate the issues relating to the latest Web technology developments. See http://www2006.org/ for regular updates on conference information. WWW2006 is held in association with ACM, BCS, ECS and W3C. REFEREED PAPERS TRACK WWW2006 seeks original papers describing research in all areas of the web. Topics include but are not limited to: # E* Applications: E-Communities, E-Learning, E-Commerce, E-Science, E-Government and E-Humanities # Browsers and User Interfaces # Data Mining # Hypermedia and Multimedia # Performance, Reliability and Scalability # Pervasive Web and Mobility # Search # Security, Privacy, and Ethics # Semantic Web # Web Engineering # XML and Web Services # Industrial Practice and Experience (Alternate track) # Developing Regions (Alternate track) Detailed descriptions of each of these tracks appear at http://www2006.org/tracks/ Submissions should present original reports of substantive new work. Papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. We will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. New for WWW2006: We solicit submissions of "position papers" articulating high-level architectural visions, describing challenging future directions, or critiquing current design wisdom. Accepted position papers will be presented at the conference and appear in the proceedings. Both "regular papers" and "position papers" are subject to the same rigorous reviewing process, but the emphasis may differ --- regular papers should present significant reproducible results while position papers may present preliminary work rich in implications for future research. All papers will be peer-reviewed by reviewers from an International Program Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and will also be accessible to the general public via http://www2006.org/. Authors of all accepted papers will be required to transfer copyright to the IW3C2. POSTERS Posters provide a forum for late-breaking research, and facilitate feedback in an informal setting. Posters are peer-reviewed. The poster area provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent web-related research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. It gives conference attendees a way to learn about innovative works in progress in a timely and informal manner. Formatting and submission requirements are available at http://www2006.org/posters/. TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS A program of tutorials will cover topics of current interest to web design, development, services, operation, use, and evaluation. These half and full-day sessions will be led by internationally recognized experts and experienced instructors using prepared content. Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, leaders, and practitioners to explore current web R&D issues through a more focused and in-depth manner than is possible in a traditional conference session. Participants typically present position statements and hold in-depth discussions with their peers within the workshop setting. For more information and submission details see http://www2006.org/workshops/. PANELS Panels provide an interactive forum that will engage both panelists and the audience in lively discussion of important and often controversial issues. For more information and submission details see http://www2006.org/panels/.
