-------- Original Message -------- Subject: E-NEXT.members: CFP MeshNets 2005 -- Submission deadline extended to 27 February Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2005 02:02:51 +0100 From: Laura Marie Feeney <lmfeeney(a)sics.se> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Apologies if you receive multiple copies In order to synchronize better with other workshops being held at WICON, the submission deadline for MeshNets 2005 has been significantly extended. (So now you have plenty of time to finish your paper and submit it...) ==== MeshNets 2005 http://www.meshnets.org In conjunction with WICON 2005 10 July 2005, Budapest, Hungary IMPORTANT DATES Submissions due: February 27, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: April 05, 2005 Camera-ready Version due: May 15, 2005 CALL FOR PAPERS The long-term success of the Wireless Internet depends on the establishment of an architectectural framework that can meet the increasingly stringent demands place on it by our mobile, "always connected" society. Wireless mesh networks are expected to be a key element of this future. In a wireless mesh network, mobile devices or networks cooperatively establish mulit-hop, or even multi-radio communication paths in a dynamic environment, providing an alternative form of wireless connectivity. To achieve scalability and performance, such a network must manage complex tradeoffs among factors such as coverage, throughput/delay and QoS support. Many such networks must also be able to support self-organizing and self-healing modes of operation. The emergence of wireless PAN, LAN, and MAN technologies and an ever-growing demand for connectivity suggest that wireless mesh networks will play an important role in the future development of the Wireless Internet. The importance and timeliness of this topic is confirmed by the many start-up companies defining technology and products in this space, as well as the work of standards bodies such as the IEEE 802.11s Working Group. The goal of this workshop is to bring together an international group of academics, researchers, and industry practitioners to a) provide a view of the state-of-art, b) identify outstanding challenges and c) present current research on all aspects of mesh networks. The workshop will therefore include panel discussion and invited speakers, as well as papers selected through this CFP. In particular, we encourage submissions which make fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of wireless mesh networking, with emphasis on cross-layer protocol design and implementation, especially in the context of programmable and software defined radio. We solicit paper on topics including, but not limited to the following areas of relevance to mesh networks: Link and MAC layer design Cross-layer optimization Radio resource management and QoS support Programmable and software defined radios User mobility models and mobility management Topology deduction and network measurement and characterization Performance evaluation and modelling Experimental systems and test-beds Security and authentication Interworking between wireless access and the wired backbone PROPOSALS FOR PANELS Proposals for panel sessions on wireless networking and related topics are also solicited. Panel topics should address innovative, controversial, or otherwise provocative topics related to wireless mesh networking. Please submit proposals to the General Chairs <tpc.html>. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be submitted in PostScript or Adobe PDF format.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP - International Workshop on Context for Web Services (CWS'05) Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 11:42:43 +0400 From: Zakaria Maamar <Zakaria.Maamar(a)zu.ac.ae> To: <chirine.ghedira(a)iuta.univ-lyon1.fr> Call for Papers International Workshop on Context for Web Services (CWS'05) Held in conjunction with CONTEXT, the 5th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (http://context-05.org) July 5, 2005. Paris, France http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~dbenslim/CWS05/ Keynote Speaker: =============== - David Martin, SRI International's Artificial Intelligence Center, CA, USA, http://www.ai.sri.com/people/martin Sponsors: ========= - International Sponsors: AgentLink, ObjectWeb - Local Sponsors: LIRIS Laboratory, Istase. Proceedings: ============ Papers of the Workshop will be published in ELSEVIER's Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (Elsevier's ENTCS). Scope: ===== Web services are nowadays emerging as a major technology for deploying automated interactions between distributed and heterogeneous applications. Various standards support this deployment including WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP. These standards respectively support the definition of Web services, their advertisement to the community of potential users, and finally their binding for invocation purposes. In general, composing Web services rather than accessing a single service is essential and provides better benefits to users. Composition primarily addresses the situation of a user's request that cannot be satisfied by any available service, whereas a composite service obtained by combining available services might be used. Several questions raise during Web services composition and execution including which businesses have the capacity to provision Web services, when and where the provisioning of Web services occurs, and how Web services from independent parties coordinate their activities during execution so that conflicts are avoided. To address some of these questions, it is recommended considering the context in which the composition and execution of Web services occur. Context is generally perceived as the information that characterizes the interaction between humans, applications, and the surrounding environment. From a Web services perspective, it is expected that context should define a set of common data about the current status of a Web service and its capability of collaborating with other peers, possibly enacted by distinct providers. For example before a Web service agrees to participate in a composite service its status in terms of current participation is assessed. Moreover, before a back-up strategy is deployed an assessment of the exception that a Web service has raised is needed. Relevant topics: =============== - Ontologies and context for Web services - Context-based semantic matching for Web services composition - Context-based Web services deployment - Software agent-based approaches for context-based Web services interaction - Context-aware Web services - Security of context during Web services interactions - Software agents and context for Web services personalization Papers and Evaluations: ====================== Authors are invited to submit electronically original papers through CONTEXT'05 Web site (http://www.context-05.org). Papers length should be between 12 and 15 pages and must be in ELSEVIER's ENTCS submission format (http://www.math.tulane.edu/~entcs). All papers will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, clarity, and technical quality. Papers of the workshop will be published as post-proceedings in ELSEVIER's Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ELSEVIER's ENTCS, http://www.elsevier.com/locate/entcs). A first hard copy will be provided at the workshop. A special issue in an international journal is expected and will be dedicated to selected papers from the workshop. At least one author of each paper should attend the workshop to present the paper.

The success of M-Commerce is basically dependent on the development and acceptance of new wireless technologies over 3G and 4G networks as well as intelligent service platforms on mobile devices. However, to fully exploit the high growth potentials of M-commerce there is a strong need to adopt existing E-commerce approaches for wireless networks and to develop new sophisticated mobile applications to meet the needs of mobile subscribers, for example in the areas of financial transactions, mobile marketing and gaming, as well as location and context-aware services. Compared with the traditional wired E-commerce, wireless networks and mobile devices impose additional constraints, challenges, and requirements on building M-commerce platforms and applications, for example content adaptation, security and privacy issues, and mobile payment mechanisms. The Second IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Services (WMCS) brings together researchers, scientists, software architects, and industry professionals with the aim of discussing and exchanging innovative ideas and research work in M-commerce and services. The topics for submissions include but are not limited to the following fields: - Novel M-commerce applications and services - Location and context-aware M-commerce services - Service platforms for supporting M-commerce (mobile web enterprise) - Brokerage and service discovery mechanisms - Middleware, mobile components, and agent technologies supporting M-commerce - Platforms for client applications in mobile devices (J2ME, Symbian) - Digital Rights Management - Wireless security problems & solutions, and mobile privacy - Mobile payment solutions, systems and platforms - New wireless multimedia technologies and platforms for M-commerce (e.g., DVB-H) - Inter-organizational service provisioning (business models and their realization) - Wireless advertising solutions, systems and platforms - Mobile entertainment applications, services and platforms for digital mu-sic, videos and games - Case-studies and experiences (experience reports) Submissions ----------- Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] SIGMETRICS 2005 - CFP Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 15:13:47 -0200 (BRDT) From: Jussara Marques de Almeida <jussara(a)dcc.ufmg.br> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LSNI Workshop 2005 Sigmetrics '05 Workshop on Large Scale Network Inference (LSNI): Methods, Validation, and Applications In recent years, large scale network inference has attracted significant interest within the research community. On one front, considerable progress has been made on traffic matrix estimation. Solutions have been proposed to estimate the amount of traffic flowing between any pair of ingress and egress points within an IP network simply based on the total amount of traffic recorded over IP links. On another front, efforts are being made to detect the state of the network from end to end measurements using inference techniques or to infer the traffic workload by exploiting application behavior. In essence, the full instrumentation of the state of an IP network is still considered a cost prohibitive task and inference may be the only tool we have to understand the behavior of such large scale systems. The potential benefits of the proposed estimation techniques can be great. Accurate measurement of an IP traffic matrix is essential for network design and planning. Moreover, accurate estimation of the network state can facilitate troubleshooting and performance evaluation. The focus of this workshop will be on the state of the art of large-scale network inference techniques in these areas and their potential applications. More specifically, we will solicit papers on the evaluation of the proposed techniques and their possible shortcomings. Of particular interest are papers that address the impact of estimation errors on the applications making use of traffic matrices and network tomography techniques. Lastly, we are interested in understanding the future of this area and its impact on network design and management. We solicit 6-page long papers that present work in progress related to the following topics: traffic matrix estimation techniques passive and active network tomography techniques validation methods scalability, robustness, sensitivity issues in large scale inference adaptive and continuous network inference practical applications and operational experience impact of sampling errors on estimation accuracy The accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, while an extended abstract of the submitted paper will be available in a special issue of Performance Evaluation Review (PER), which is sent to all Sigmetrics members and appears in the ACM digital library.

This technological evolution is further inspiring researchers to envision the next generation wireless networking architectures and even the space Internet. Next Generation Wireless Internet (NGWI) will be the convergence of these heterogeneous wireless networks and the next generation Internet to provide mobile users with a wide range of high resource demanding services such as high speed reliable data and real-time multimedia delivery. While the unique characteristics of each of these wireless networks pose diverse set of challenges, their integration severely expands the set of open research problems for seamless, efficient, and reliable communication. Therefore, there exists an urgent need for a significant research effort to focus on solving these new challenges posed by the integration and the convergence of these wireless heterogeneous networks. The objective of ConWiN 2005 is to provide a research platform where researchers bring their contributions to light by presenting their technical papers on the issues regarding the integration and the convergence of heterogeneous wireless networks. Papers solicited in ConWiN 2005 spans a wide range of areas of interest including but not limited to: - Physical layer issues for the convergence of heterogeneous wireless communication technologies - Novel and adaptive communication protocols at all layers, i.e., MAC layer problems, routing, reliable and multimedia transport, for integration of diverse wireless systems such as WLANs, 3G, and WSNs - Novel and practical communication architectures for the convergence of heterogeneous wireless networks - Efficient mobility/handoff management protocols for seamless roaming within the converged communication architecture - Killer applications/services for the convergence towards the NGWI - Security, authentication, and billing solutions for the converged architecture Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline : February 25, 2005 Notification of acceptance : May 1, 2005 Camera-ready version : May 15, 2005 Workshop Date : July 10, 2005 Submission Details: =================== The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal.

[Fwd: Changes in Computer Communications Review (CCR)]
by Lars Wolf 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Changes in Computer Communications Review (CCR) Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 09:03:49 -0500 From: Erich Nahum <nahum(a)turing.acm.org> Reply-To: Erich Nahum <nahum(a)turing.acm.org> To: SIGCOMM-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG CCR is evolving! To push forward the changes successfully begun by John Wroclawski, CCR is starting a new life with the April 2005 issue, with a new editor in chief (Christophe Diot from Intel Research) and a new editorial board (see names below). The goal is for CCR to strengthen its role as the network community newsletter in which we are each involved and contribute. CCR will publish papers in the general field of data communications characterized primarily by quality of the work and timeliness of publication. CCR will encourage publication of "works in progress", provided they are of good caliber. Experience papers, system papers, and papers reproducing others' results, should find a home in CCR, as long as the quality is high enough and useful to the community. To achieve the quality and timeliness goals, the reviewing turn-over will be three months, with an implicit submission deadline every quarter. The decisions will be either accept or reject. Each paper will be published with a public review that will synthesize the reviewers' opinion. In addition to papers, CCR will publish a news-like section which will include articles based on input from research community members - faculty members, junior researchers, students, industry researchers, etc. The scope for such articles will span topics such as interviews of research scientists and industry leaders, editorials, conference reports, summary standards, NSF or European Commission user manuals, arguments on a research topic, outrageous opinion column, favorite hits, What's Worth Reading, and so on. To conclude, we ask networking researchers (and SIGCOMM members in particular) to take to heart that CCR is your newsletter and its content is made by you! Please send your short columns, editorials, articles, etc. We will review them and strive our best to publish them. Christophe Diot, Editor in Chief Jennifer Rexford, SIGCOMM chair Vern Paxson, SIGCOMM vice-chair The new editorial board is Chadi Barakat, INRIA Ernst Biersack, Eurecom Mark Crovella, Boston University Jon Crowcroft, U. of Cambridge Constantinos Dovrolis, GaTech Serge Fdida, U. of Paris 6 Steve Gribble, U. of Washignton Roch Guerin, U. of Pennsilvania Dina Katabi, MIT Srinisivan Keshav, U. of Waterloo Venkat Padmanabhan, MSR Matt Roughan, U. of Adelaide

CoNEXT - Toulouse, France ------------------------------------ http://www.co-next.net info(a)co-next.net October 24-27, 2005 Organized by IST E-NEXT in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM CoNEXT aims to become a major forum in the area of future networking technologies. By bringing together - under the umbrella of the Network of Excellence E-NEXT (http://www.ist-e-next.net/) - a number of successful workshops run by various networking communities, it will encourage much needed synergies between these communities. CoNEXT is a joint conference series having its roots in QoFIS, NGC and MIPS. QoFIS and NGC are highly successful international workshops initiated by two European COST Actions, namely COST263 on Quality of Future Internet Services and COST264 on Networked Group Communications. MIPS resulted from the merging of two other major workshops, namely IDMS (concentrated on interactive and distributed multimedia services) and PROMS (focusing on protocols for networked multimedia systems); also the associated ICQT (Internet Charging and QoS Technology) workshop is integrated into CoNEXT 2005. CoNEXT is designed as an open, multi-track conference aiming to attract longer-term studies and to contribute to the integration of networking research at the international level. Examples of relevant topics are: * Autonomic Communications * Context Awareness * Crosslayer Integration * Dependable Networks * Experimental Networking * Identity Management * Internet Economics * Large Test-bed * Mobile Communication * Monitoring * Network Security * Overlay Networks * Scalability * Sensor Networks * Service Engineering * Traffic Engineering * User Perceived QoS * Wireless Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration of publication. Papers must be submitted in electronic format following the instructions provided on the CoNEXT web site. The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. ToN will consider fast tracking the very best papers accepted for publication at CoNEXT Important dates: Submission: May 6th, 2005 Notification: July 1st, 2005 Final version: August 19th, 2005 Conference chairs Michel Diaz, LAAS-CNRS, France Arturo Azcorra, University Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Patrick S=E9nac, ENSICA, France, (Organization chair) Program chairs Philippe Owezarski, LAAS-CNRS, France Serge Fdida, University P&M Curie (Paris 6), France Steering Committee Arturo Azcorra, University Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Fernando Boavida, University of Coimbra, Portugal Michel Diaz, LAAS-CNRS, France Christophe Diot, Intel research Cambridge, UK Serge Fdida, University P&M Curie-Paris, France Laurent Mathy, Lancaster University, UK Jennifer Rexford, AT&T Labs, USA Mikhail Smirnov, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany Ioannis Stavrakakis, University of Athens, Greece Burkhard Stiller, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland Giorgio Ventre, University of Napoli, Italy Program Committee --------------------- Marco Ajmone Marsan, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Kevin Almeroth, UC Santa Barbara, USA Paul Amer, University of Delaware, USA Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Ernst Biersack, Institut Eurecom, France Olivier Bonaventure, Univ.
