[Fwd: [Tccc] Call for papers: Wireless Mesh Networking]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for papers: Wireless Mesh Networking Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 15:54:20 -0500 (EST) From: Xudong Wang <wxudong(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ============================================================== Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Wireless Mesh Networking: Theories, Protocols, and Systems http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/mesh_cfp.htm ============================================================== Wireless mesh networking has become an indispensable technique for the next generation wireless networks. It is critical to large-scale wireless networks with no pre-existing infrastructure. It enables quick-and-easy extension of a local area network into a wide area. Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to various flavors of routing and transport protocols. However, the work is far from enough. The state-of-art is insufficient for deploying sizable wireless mesh networks. Important aspects such as network radio range, network capacity, scalability, manageability, and security remain open problems. To address capacity and scaling concerns, researchers are experimenting with systems that use multiple radios, frequency-agile radios, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas. Further, there are renewed interests in carrying out research on MAC protocols and cross-layer design that breaks the traditional networking layering norm. It is clear that such novel techniques are needed to increase system capacity, extend network range, and increase scale, if such networks are to become viable. Similarly, while there exist several security protocols for wireless networks, especially for IEEE 802.11 WLANs, it is still not clear how one can build a trustworthy network in a multi-hop ad hoc environment like wireless mesh networks. Finally, although new research results are published each year, progress on practical protocol implementation and system integration has lagged considerably. To ensure wireless mesh networks to be widely deployed, many research groups are starting to accumulate practical experience through building testbeds and deploying trial systems. In parallel to these efforts, several IEEE standard groups are also actively pursuing wireless mesh networking techniques. This special issue is devoted to the research and development of practical, deployable, and low-cost wireless mesh networks. Papers from both industry and academia will be solicited through an open call-for-papers. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, -- Techniques for capacity and range extension -- Multi-radio, multi-spectral systems -- Cognitive and frequency-agile radios -- Multichannel MACs, MAC protocol for directional antennas and MIMO systems -- High-performance scalable single-channel MACs -- Programmable MACs -- Cross-layer design and optimization -- Trustworthy networks, privacy and security models -- Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems -- Mobility, power, and topology management -- Network management with zero-configuration -- Practical system architecture of wireless mesh networks -- Testbed and deployment experience -- Application and usage scenarios -- Emerging standards: IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.15.5, IEEE 802.16 mesh, IEEE 802.20 mesh ============================================================== SUBMISSION Manuscript Due: April 1, 2005 Acceptance Notification: August 15, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: October 15, 2005 Publication: December, 2005 Prospective authors should follow the following guidelines to prepare their manuscripts: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html Please send PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to Xudong Wang (wxudong(a)ieee.org) no later than April 1, 2005. ============================================================== GUEST EDITORS Xudong Wang Senior Staff Research Engineer Kiyon, Inc.

[Fwd: E-NEXT.members: CFP: JSAC special issue on Sampling the Internet]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: E-NEXT.members: CFP: JSAC special issue on Sampling the Internet Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 16:54:14 +0100 From: Chadi Barakat <Chadi.Barakat(a)sophia.inria.fr> Organization: INRIA U.R. Sophia Antipolis CC: <members(a)ist-e-next.net> 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(a)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(a)sophia.inria.fr Tel: +33 4 92 38 75 96 Fax: +33 4 92 38 79 78 Gianluca Iannaccone Intel Research 15 JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0FD United Kingdom gianluca.iannaccone(a)intel.com Tel: +44 1223 763454 Fax: +44 1223 763456 Jim Kurose Department of Computer Science University of Massachusetts Amherst MA 01003 United States kurose(a)cs.umass.edu Tel: +1 413 545 1585 Fax: +1 413 545 1249 Darryl Veitch CUBIN (ARC Special Research Ctr) Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering University of Melbourne Victoria 3010 Australia dveitch(a)unimelb.edu.au Tel: +61 3 8344 3817 Fax: +61 3 8344 3821 +++ Posted to members-istenext by "Chadi Barakat" <Chadi.Barakat(a)sophia.inria.fr> +++

Draft manuscripts are due Mar 30, 2005 with Notification of Acceptance by May 31, 2005. Stephen F. Bush and Shivkumar Kalyanaraman, co-editors ------------------------------------------------------------ ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT Special Issue on Management of Active and Programmable Networks Manuscript due March 30, 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------ Active networks provide a framework enabling code and data to reside within network packets such that injected code can modify behavior of low-level network layers. Programmable networks allow customization o data-plane and control-plane services (e.g.: using network processor methods in high- speed routers or software radio methods in wireless networks). This raises fundamental management issues regarding the relation and tradeoffs among communication and computation, configuration, fault, security, performance, and accounting management. AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS and SOFTWARE RADIOS are being facilitated by the advancement of active networks; however, they add another level of complexity to active and programmable network management. The relationship between computation and communication can be addressed by concepts from algorithmic information theory (e.g.: Kolmogorov- Chaitin Complexity). Active and programmable networks form an ideal environment in which to study the effects of tradeoffs in algorithmic and static information representation. Active code can contain either the protocol or a compressed form of the data to be transported. Other divisions of code and state are possible between packets (e.g.: routers with dynamic packet state and customizable data-plane code). ------------------------------------------------------------ This special issue of the Journal of Network and Systems Management will consider topics associated with the management of active and programmable networks. Submissions will span a broad range of topics, e.g.: * Bridging the gap among the large and growing body of work in algorithmic information theory and applications to the health, management, and security of an active or programmable network * Fundamental relationships between computation and communication applied to active or programmable networks; relationship of code vs. data tradeoffs utilized to control access of information, system vulnerability detection, policy enforcement, etc. within an active or programmable network * Self-organization and composition of active network services; self-configuration of active or programmable networks * Case studies involving the management of dynamic adaptation and performance enabled by active networks * Active or programmable networks used to manage and control mobile ad hoc network operation and legacy networks * Active or programmable network management of QoS: controlled amounts of code vs. data that adapt to link quality * Management of active packets in constrained devices such as sensors * Active and programmable network management techniques applied to link and physical layer network components e.g. software radio waveforms * Improvement or replacement of defacto management standard access and control such as SNMP with active or programmable mechanisms ------------------------------------------------------------ Instructions to Contributors: Authors are invited to submit papers for peer-review to the guest editors. Only electronic submissions will be accepted.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET'05) Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 15:48:41 -0800 From: Chen-Nee Chuah <chuah(a)ece.ucdavis.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2005 The Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2005 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Web site: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 9, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2005 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 13, 2005 The goal of this workshop is to explore the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Enabled by short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-roadside), the VANET vision includes vehicular realtime and safety applications, sharing the wireless channel with mobile applications from a large, decentralized array of commercial service providers. VANET safety applications include collision and other safety warnings. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. Following the success of VANET 2004 held last year in Philadelphia, VANET 2005, the Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks, will be held in Cologne, Germany, September 2, 2005, in conjunction with MobiCom 2005. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Safety and commercial applications * Protocol design (including low-power, cross-layer, etc.) * Security and privacy * Power control * Multi-channel organization and operation * Network management * Modulation and coding * Channel modeling The opportunities for VANET are growing rapidly. In December 2003, the U.S. FCC approved 75 MHz of spectrum for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), and the resulting DSRC system is expected to be the first wide-scale VANET in North America. In Japan, two DSRC standards have been adopted (the ARIB STD-T75 in 2001, the ARIB STD-T88 in 2004), and Japanese auto manufactures are working with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation in the third phase of an ambitious Advanced Safety Vehicle project. The German Ministry of Education and Research has sponsored the Fleetnet and Network on Wheels projects. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs. Creating high-performance, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community. Yet, certain limitations commonly assumed in ad hoc networks are mitigated in VANET. For example, VANET may marshal ample computational and power resources. Mobility patterns are constrained by road paths and driving speed restrictions. As opposed to sensor networks, VANET represents high resource/performance wireless technologies. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch × 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2005 web page at http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Please email questions related to paper submission or the technical program to vanet2005-pc-chairs(a)monarch.cs.rice.edu .

It will also initiate discussions on how to use these models to improve the performance of wireless networks. Furthermore, it aims in enhancing and accelerating the process of sharing traces, implementations, and test suites. In this workshop, we would like to solicit short papers (6 pages) that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. We will use the EDAS system for the paper submission. We plan to get industrial sponsorship to support a best paper and presentation award and a keynote speaker. Along with regular presentations we plan to have speakers and/or panel discussions that encourage more active participation of the attendees. TOPICS Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: - Methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in different wireless environments (infrastructures, sensor networks) - Workload characterization and traffic analysis - User mobility modeling - Software tools in support of measurements - Measurement-based inference of network properties (for normal or abnormal behavior, network topology, hot spots) - Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, and anomaly detection - Temporal and spatial evolution of wireless networks - Evaluation of forecasting algorithms for wireless traffic load - Comparative analysis on different wireless networks - Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests ORGANIZERS General Chair: Kang G.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP for Computers and Electrical Engineering Journal - Special Issue on Wireless Networks and Systems Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 10:48:03 +0100 From: Mario Marchese <mario.marchese(a)cnit.it> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: Professor Mohammad S. Obaidat <obaidat(a)monmouth.edu> My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Computers and Electrical Engineering Journal http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/367/descriptio… Special Issue on "Advances and Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks and Systems" Guest Editors: Prof. Mohammad S. Obaidat, Dept. of Computer Science, Monmouth University Prof. Mario Marchese, Dept. of Communication, Computer and System Science (DIST), University of Genoa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wireless and satellite technology offers many advantages with respect to cable networks both concerning scalability, overcoming geographical obstacles, covering isolated areas, application in hazardous environments. In many cases, as well as in aerospace applications, the wireless choice is a must. In other cases, wireless means resource optimization, as in the case of Wireless LANs. Cable networks and the Internet are not sufficient to support applications in some environments. People may require news on the web in hazardous environments. Moreover, in the presence of infrastructure, traffic bottlenecks of terrestrial networks and traditional links could make the service highly inefficient, if not useful. Therefore, there is increasing commercial interest to use wireless in modern telecommunications systems such as local area services, interactivity and possibility of building networks adapted to the different needs; tele-learning; managing activity of the Public Administration; bank and financial services; industrial activity located remotely; broadcasting and backbone access; international connections; tele-medicine; data recovery; video-surveillance; application in rural environments; applications for vehicles, trains and planes; and tactical communications, among others. Offering real services with a specific guarantee of Quality of Service (QoS) over wireless systems (including WLAN, radio and satellite) is very challenging as it implies the need to solve challenging research and development issues due to the peculiarity of the application environment.
