[Fwd: IWQoS 2005 Call For Papers]
by Lars Wolf 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: IWQoS 2005 Call For Papers Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 18:17:28 +0100 From: IWQoS <iwqos(a)fmi.uni-passau.de> To: itc(a)comsoc.org *** Call for Paper *** Thirteenth International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2005) University of Pasau, Germany, on June 21-23, 2005 IWQoS has emerged as the prime annual event on Quality-of-Service (QoS)-related research and technologies. Building on the successes of previous workshops, the objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future directions and challenges. IWQoS has a long standing tradition of being highly interactive while maintaining highest standards of competitiveness and excellence. This characteristic will be re-emphasized by intercepting the regular paper sessions with stimulating discussion events about controversial and cutting edge topics. The program will include the following highlights: * Key Note by Industrial Speaker * A Panel on "Self-Organization and QoS" by David Hutchison, Lancaster Univ, U.K. * A Position Paper Session on "The Impact of QoS: Where Industry meets Academia" by Francois Le Faucheur, Cicso Systems France and Georgios Karagiannis, Twente Univ., The Netherlands. * A Works in Progress Session focusing on emerging research * Key Note and Invited Paper by Randy Katz, UC Berkeley, U.S.A. * Industrial Exhibition and Demonstration of Tools and Methods related to Quality of Communication <http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/lehrstuehle/demeer/iwqos/cfexhib.html> by Jan de Meer, Institute for High-performance Microelectronics GmbH, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany The panel and the short paper sessions will be highly interactive and leave much time and space for the audience to get involved. The position and short papers will go through the general reviewing process but the papers must specifically be submitted to fit the track. Short versions of regular technical papers will not be accepted here. It is rather encouraged to submit work that is either stimulating with a long term vision or that points to immediate relevance with need for controversial debate to address the foremost experts at the venue. Technical Program Quality of Service principles can be applied to a large number of domains. Our goal is to broaden the areas that QoS research can be pulled from by recognizing the multi-disciplinary aspect to much of the research. In addition to the traditional areas, the call for papers does solicit, but is not limited to, papers in such areas as: * QoS in mobile/wireless environments, Sensor networks, 4G (IP for 3G) * QoS in overlays and peer-to-peer networks * QoS in GRID environments * SLA: end-to-end QoS, QoS in large scale, heterogeneous environments * QoS-aware software components: QoS for Web Services * QoS and self-organizing systems * New frontiers of QoS * QoS measurement versus control * QoS adaptation versus resource reservation * Hidden QoS issues, have we just learned to ignore QoS problems? * QoS in context aware systems (also related to mobility) * User perception/user interfaces for QoS * QoS and distributed systems * QoS and middleware * Fault tolerance and QoS * QoS in ad hoc networks * Economics and QoS * Security, trust and QoS * QoS in the home and everywhere * QoS and new media * QoS and haptics , virtual environments * QoS in buisiness processes, workflows Further Information: Web Site: http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/iwqos Contact: iwqos(a)fmi.uni-passau.de Important Dates: * Paper abstract deadline: February 16th , 2005, 11:59pm CET * Full paper submission deadline: February 22th , 2005, 11:59pm CET * Short paper submission deadline: March 7th, 2005, 11:59pm CET * Notification of acceptance: March 24th , 2005 * Camera-ready papers due: April 8, 2005 * Hotel reservation cut-off date: May 19th , 2005 * Early registration deadline: April 8th, 2005 * Workshop dates: June 21-23 , 2005 * Workshop reception and welcome party: June 20th, 2005 Program Chairs: Hermann De Meer University of Passau Passau, Germany mail: demeer(a)fmi.uni-passau.de <mailto:demeer@fmi.uni-passau.de> Nina Bhatti Hewlett Packard Laboratories Palo Alto, California USA email: nina.bhatti(a)hp.com <mailto:nina.bhatti@hp.com> Organisation Chair: Silvia Lehmbeck University of Passau Passau, Germany email: iwqos(a)fmi.uni-passau.de <mailto:iwqos@fmi.uni-passau.de>

Authors who have already sent their submission may of course use the additional time and resubmit their contribution. Below you can find the call for papers once more. For further information please visit the conference's homepage at http://www.teco.edu/arcs05/overview.html. Regards, Fabian Rochner --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers ARCS 2005 Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS) - System Aspects in Organic and Pervasive Computing - http://www.teco.edu/arcs05/overview.html WORKSHOP SELF-ORGANIZATION AND EMERGENCE: ORGANIC COMPUTING IN THE CONTEXT OF ITS NEIGHBORING DISCIPLINES (PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, ECONOMY...) March 17, 2005, Innsbruck *EXTENDED* Deadline for submissions: January 23, 2005 *EXTENDED* Organization and Program Committee Dietmar Fey, University of Jena Thomas Martinetz, Universität zu Lübeck Christian Müller-Schloer, Institute of Systems Engineering, University of Hannover Hartmut Schmeck, AIFB, University of Karlsruhe Theo Ungerer, Institute of Computer Science, University of Augsburg Rolf Würtz, Institut für Neuroinformatik, Ruhr University Bochum Organic Computing has emerged recently as a challenging vision for future information processing systems. Organic Computing is based on the insight that it won't be long before we are surrounded by large collections of autonomous systems equipped with sensors and actuators to be aware of their environment, to communicate freely, and to organize themselves in order to perform the actions and services that seem to be required. This presence of networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct these systems - which we increasingly depend on - as robust, safe, flexible, and trustworthy as possible. In particular, a strong orientation of these systems towards human needs as opposed to a pure implementation of the technologically possible seems absolutely central. In order to achieve these goals, our technical systems will have to act more independently, flexibly, and autonomously, i.e. they will have to exhibit life-like properties. We call those systems "organic". Hence, an "Organic Computing System" is a technical system, which adapts dynamically to the current conditions of its environment. It will be self-organizing, selfconfiguring, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware. The vision of Organic Computing and its fundamental concepts arose independently in different research areas like Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Computer Engineering. Self-organizing systems have been studied for quite some time by mathematicians, sociologists, physicists, economists, and computer scientists, but so far almost exclusively based on strongly simplified artificial models. Central aspects of Organic Computing systems have been and will be inspired by an analysis of information processing in biological systems. It is the objective of this workshop to bring together computer scientists with researchers from neighboring disciplines - like physics, chemistry, economics, biology - to allow them to benefit from their knowledge in the fields of self-organization and emergence. This is an interdisciplinary workshop. This means that breadth and understandability beyond the own special interest group is highly encouraged. Invited topics include but are not limited to: - self-organization and emergent behavior (general) - complex adaptive systems - dissipative systems - self-organization in production and logistics - self-organization in biological systems - self-organization in nano structures - bio-inspired computing - artificial life - multi-agent systems and cellular automata - technical usage and controllability of emergence Paper Selection and Workshop Format Authors will be required to submit papers with a maximum of 10 pages until January 23, 2005. Extended abstracts (3 pages) are also welcome. Contributions (pdf format) should address the following topics: - Characterization of the project(s), main research goals and results, problem areas - Aspects of technical application and controllability - Self-organization and emergence as general phenomena: Communalities and differences Workshop proceedings will be published by the VDE-Verlag. Please follow the Guidelines for Authors: http://www.vde-verlag.de/buecher/tagungd.html Papers will be selected through a peer-review based on contribution to the overall topic, originality, and scientific value. All selected papers will be published in the workshop proceedings (and should be presented at the workshop). To maximize the outcome of the workshop there will be space for extensive discussions in small groups (2-4 people) and a wrapup phase at the end. The proposed preliminary timeline for the workshop is: 09:00 - 12:30 Presentations and discussion of the presented papers 13:30 - 15:00 Group discussions with specific questions 15:30 - 17:00 Presentation of group results and discussion of research directions and cooperations Deadline for submissions: January 23, 2005 Notification of acceptance/rejection: January 28, 2005 Camera-ready paper: February 11, 2005 Please send electronic submissions (in pdf) to: Dipl.-Ing.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CfP - Symposium on Cooperative Networks in WirelessCom 2005 Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 15:13:52 +0100 From: Antonella Molinaro <molinaro(a)deis.unical.it> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org CC: Mischa Dohler <michael.dohler(a)kcl.ac.uk>, Andrej Stefanov <stefanov(a)duke.poly.edu> [Apologies for multiple copies] Dear Colleagues, Antonella Molinaro, Mischa Dohler and Andrej Stefanov wish to invite you to submit high-quality papers to the Symposium on Cooperative Networks, part of WirlessCom 2005, to be hold in Hawaii from June 13-16 2005. For more details, please, consult the call-for-papers below or the website <http://www.ctr.kcl.ac.uk/WC05_CoNet>http://www.ctr.kcl.ac.uk/WC05_CoNet. Kind regards, Antonella, Mischa, Andrej. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symposium on Cooperative Networks <http://www.ctr.kcl.ac.uk/WC05_CoNet>www.ctr.kcl.ac.uk/WC05_CoNet WirelessCom 2005 Sheraton Maui Resort, Kaanapali Beach, Maui Hawaii, USA, June 13-16 2005 Technical Sponsorship IEEE TCCC, TCPC, and SSCTC Scope Cooperative Networks are gaining increasing interest from the wireless community as a means to allow mobile devices to communicate in networks composed of heterogeneous technologies. A special Working Group on Cooperative Networks (CoNets) has been established within the WWRF (Wireless World Research Forum) to undertake these issues. Seamless Communication: Heterogeneity in CoNets refers to service support, user devices, network access, resource and mobility management, medium access control, baseband algorithms, radio technology, and so on. In this scenario, the main challenging goal is to allow a mobile user to seamlessly communicate throughout multiple heterogeneous networks (cellular, wireless and wired networks, including "moving" and "ad-hoc" networks), and to enjoy multiparty multimedia applications while on the move between different administrative domains. Self-Organization & Cross-Layer Design: Certainly there are particular cooperation and coordination problems found in CoNets that significantly differ from those in more traditional domains. The future cooperative network is, in fact, expected to self-organize dynamically in an optimum manner in order to offer seamless services with agreed quality to users and devices irrespective of location and network connection. This implies careful optimization across the entire protocol stack. Ideally, cooperative connectivity shall be transparent to the various transport technologies used among nodes in the network. New APIs: Relations between cooperative networks are expected to be established dynamically, always providing a securely protected environment to users. Mobile terminals should be able to discover candidates available networks, therefore new APIs should enable applications to detect available access networks and learn their characteristics, thus becoming aware of location, context, and QoS. Cooperative Networking: Special kinds of wireless networks included in CoNets are the so-called "moving networks" (NEMO), consisting of one or more mobile routers with connected devices changing their point of attachment to other networks while physically moving or changing topology. New resource management schemes for cooperative heterogeneous wireless access networks are required. Cooperative Access Control & PHY Technologies: Furthermore, recently, the idea of using a mobile station as a relay between a source and a destination node is making CoNets a new diversity enabler. Cooperating users transmit their own information towards the destination node as well as optimally processed relaying information from other users. In this way, CoNets also offer a viable fading countermeasure and a shadowing alleviation means. The increased traffic requires entirely novel mechanisms at the MAC, as well as new approaches to distributed coding and transceiver design. Topics of Interest Original papers are invited in the area of interoperability between different wireless networks and fixed-wireless co-operation. Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas of Cooperative Networks: Architectural Principles Multiple Service Support Network Control and Maintenance Mobility Management QoS Provisioning Security Naming & Addressing Moving Networks Ad-hoc Networking and Internetworking Technology Multihop Routing Multi-Access Capability Radio Access Technologies Resource Management Cooperative & Distributed Relaying Ambient Network Technologies Cognitive Networks User devices Cooperative Processing Cooperative Sensor Environments Self-Organizing Networks Submission Guidelines All papers are limited to 6 pages and must be in standard IEEE double-column format. All submissions must be sent by email to the symposium co-chairs.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP-Special Section of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R)]

12 Jan '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP-Special Section of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2005 23:48:36 +0200 From: Polychronis Koutsakis <polk(a)telecom.tuc.gr> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************* Call for Papers Special Section on "Medium Access and Call Admission Control Algorithms for Next Generation Wireless Networks" ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Theme With the pervasive presence of mobile personal wireless computing devices, wireless communication technologies are rapidly evolving and influencing our daily way of life. The new wireless data and multimedia services that are added and supported on wireless networks alongside the traditional voice services pose formidable challenges to these networks in their effort to satisfy strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. These challenges are further exasperated by the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links (fading, noise) and user mobility. To cope with the challenges related to supporting both the existing and the ever increasing new services, next generation wireless technologies will need to fine tune and/or incorporate new sets of traffic control procedures. This special section will be focusing on two such control procedures related to wireless medium sharing and network overload. A well designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol reduces system costs by maximizing system capacity while successfully integrating different classes of traffic (e.g., voice, data, multimedia) and optimally allocating the limited radio channel bandwidth among them. Congestion control poses yet additional set of challenges to wireless network providers. Network congestion is difficult to resolve when real-time traffic, sensitive to both latency and packet loss, is present, without jeopardizing the QoS expected by the users of that traffic. Call Admission Control (CAC) is a strategy used to limit the number of call connections into the network in order to reduce network congestion, therefore enabling the system to provide the desired QoS to newly incoming as well as existing calls. The mobility of users adds challenging requirements to the Call Admission Control Mechanism. When mobile users change their point of attachment, the end-to-end path may be changed while they still expect to receive the same QoS. This implies that the new end-to-end path should also support the existing QoS (i.e., a reservation on the new path may be required). Topics of interest This highly selective special section of the ACM MC2R aims at providing a state-of-the-art reference of the current research in the fields of Medium Access Control Protocols and Call Admission Control Algorithms for next generation wireless networks. Previously unpublished, original papers of very high quality that are not currently under review by another conference or journal are solicited focusing on representative topics related to this special section, such as: > Medium Access Control Protocols and Transmission Scheduling Mechanisms. > Call Admission Control and Traffic Policing Mechanisms for wireless networks. > Channel Allocation. > CDMA/TDMA wireless systems. > QoS issues for multimedia traffic over wireless networks. > Performance evaluation of wireless networks. > Mobile service and QoS management. > Wireless multimedia services. > Handoff algorithms for mobility support. > Protocols and algorithms coping with limited bandwidth and intermittent connectivity of wireless networks. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2005. Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2005. Submission of final version: July 15, 2005. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should submit their paper electronically to the email address of one of the three guest editors. All material submitted must be in PostScript or PDF format. If using PostScript, only version 2 or later should be used, and reference only Computer Modern or standard Adobe fonts (Courier, Times Roman, or Helvetica); other PostScript type 1 and type 2 fonts may be used but must be included in the PostScript file. Type 3 fonts should not be used as they reproduce poorly in the digital library and on many printers. Paper length should be the equivalent of no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).

For your planning: Note that ICORR'2005 (9th International Conference On Rehabilitation Robotics) will be held in Chicago, June 28-July 1, 2005 just before ICOST 2005 (http://www.smpp.northwestern.edu/ICORR2005). Please find attached ICOST'2005 call for paper. Looking forward to welcome your contributions, Sylvain Giroux, Daqing Zhang and Mounir Mokhtari ICOST'2005 Chairs *************************** Call for Papers Third International Conference on Smart homes and health Telematics ICOST'2005 http://icost2005.domus.usherbrooke.ca/ July 4-6, 2005 Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada Organizer DOMUS Laboratory, University of Sherbrooke, Canada Co-organizers Institut National des Télécommunications, Groupe des Ecoles des Télécommunications, Paris. France Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore The first edition of ICOST in 2003 took place in Europe. The second edition was hosted in Asia. With a third edition in North America, ICOST reaches the status of a de facto world wide conference. ICOST aims at creating an active research community dedicated to explore how smart homes in particular and health telematics in general can foster independent living and an enhanced life style for elderly and disabled people. On the one hand, smart homes are augmented environment with embedded computers, information appliances, and multi-modal sensors allowing people to perform tasks efficiently by offering unprecedented levels of access to information and assistance from computer. We believe in a near future elderly and disabled people will resort to smart assistive technology to carry out daily living activities, socialize, and enjoy entertainment and leisure activities. On the other hand, health telematics makes the most of networks and telecommunications to propose health services, expertise and information at distance. It changes at root the way health related services (diagnosis, therapy, and assistance) can be conceived and used. For instance, telemonitoring can secure relatives and help medical staff to provide for better care. Nowadays networks, microprocessors, memory chips, smart sensors and actuators are faster, cheaper and smaller than ever. They are becoming available anywhere, anytime. Current advances in such enabling technologies let foresee novel applications and services for improving the life of elderly and disabled people in their home and outside. The conference will present the latest approaches and technical solutions in the area of smart homes, health telematics, and enabling technologies. Technical topics of interest include, but are not limited to: § Intelligent Environments / Smart Homes § Human-Machine Interface / Ambient Intelligence § Middleware Support for Smart Home and Health Telematics Services § Tele-Assistance and Tele-Rehabilitation § Context Awareness / Autonomous Computing § Wearable Sensors / Home Health Monitoring § Medical Data Collection and Processing § Modeling of Physical and Conceptual Information in Intelligent Environments § Vision / Hearing / Cognitive Devices § Personal Robotics and Smart Wheelchairs § Home Networks / Residential Gateways § Social / Privacy / Security Issues Each year, ICOST has a specific flavor. ICOST2003 focused on usability. The theme was «Independent living for persons with disabilities and elderly people». ICOST 2004 theme was «Toward a Human-Friendly Assistive Environment». ICOST 2005 aims to address the link between objects, assistance, and cognition. How smart objects may be designed, improved and used to provide personalized assistance? Thus papers or special sessions addressing the following topics are most welcomed: · Cognitive Orthotics /Assisted cognition a.. Location-based services / Personalization b.. Pervasive computing c..

However, the emergence and adoption of broadband wireless access standards, such as IEEE 802.16, 802.16a and 802.11a/g, offers new possibilities for wireless delivery of rich multimedia content and services, like video mail, video streaming, audio conferencing, interactive games, conversational navigation services, and future immersive communications in virtual environments. Advances in technology are enabling a world of converged wireless and mobile communications, where users access a variety of media formats using a single device. Some of these novel networking protocols and technologies include IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, UWB, Mobile IP and its variants, IP paging, wireless IP QoS and SIP. Similarly, newer multimedia standards such as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC provide significant improvements in compression, and specifications such as 3GPP Version 6 provide the ability to adapt the multimedia delivery for wireless networks with varying transmission characteristics and mobile devices with different capabilities. The goal of this special issue is to present a concise reference of state-of-the-art efforts in delivering multimedia over emerging packet-based broadband wireless networks. Specifically, the special issue is intended to present tutorials, survey and original research articles (in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists) on emerging architectures, protocols and services for delivering multimedia over single-hop or mesh broadband wireless networks. It also focuses on the protocols needed to integrate the application layer requirements, such as QoS, security, etc., with the base functionality offered by the standardized 802.16/11 and other WLAN and WMAN interfaces. Of particular interest is the inter-play between newer techniques of multimedia encoding and streaming and the network-layer features to exploit these techniques. Following are the topics of interest for which we solicit contributions for this special issue: * IP-based multimedia delivery and services over WLANs and WMANs * QoS for real-time voice and video in broadband wireless networks * Media multicasting and broadcasting problems and solutions for wireless links * Caching and content management in WLANs, WMANs and 3G Networks * VoIP over wireless networks * Multimedia over single-hop and mesh-based wireless networks * Multimedia delivery for broadband vehicular networks * Multimedia services for ambient intelligent and pervasive environments * Broadband multimedia prototypes and system experiences * Broadcast and point-to-point multimedia in indoor & outdoor environments, e.g. homes, convention centers, sports arenas Manuscript Submission ===================== Papers should be submitted in PDF format at http://colibri.iit.cnr.it.

CALL FOR PAPERS - Performance Modeling and Evaluation of IP-based Networks
by Martin Gutbrod 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

[Apologies for multiple copies of this announcement] ------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Session Performance Modeling and Evaluation of IP-based Networks within the 5th International Network Conference (INC 2005) Doryssa Bay Resort, Island of Samos, Greece 5th 7th July 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------ We live in an era where wireless/mobile communications exhibit a very high and steadily growing importance and penetration worldwide alongside the established fixed networks. Various technologies have contributed to this success, including: mobile communication networks, such as GPRS and UMTS, the family of Broadband Radio Access Networks, like IEEE 802.11 and HIPERLAN, and wireless broadcasting technologies, like Digital Video Broadcasting (DVBsatellite and terrestrial). Apart from the evolutionary paths of individual technologies, considerable interest has been expressed recently on the additional benefits that may arise from their joint exploitation, through an integrated networking infrastructure that comprises multiple wireless networks (of which some, maybe all, differ in technology), overlapping in common coverage area(s) and interconnected by an IP backbone which acts as the unifying glue that binds the heterogeneous environment together. However, many interesting and important traffic engineering, technological and performance issues need to be addressed and resolved before a global and wide-scale integrated broadband network infrastructure can be established for the efficient support and provisioning of demanding and diverge services. This Special Session of INC 2005 is aiming to promote new concepts and ideas as well as research work in progress that address issues relating to the performance evaluation of IP-based Networks Topics of the session include, but are not limited to: Analytic modeling and simulation tools and techniques Broadband Wireless Access Cellular Networks Interworking of Wireless, Terrestrial and Satellite Networks Measurement methods and tools Network measurements & testbeds QoS Provisioning in Heterogeneous Systems Quantitative methods & tools Queueing Theory Traffic Measurement, Management, Modeling and Characterization ------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript submission: February 1, 2005 Notification of review results: March 4, 2005 Camera ready paper: March 20, 2005 Authors registration: March 25, 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION INFORMATION Authors are invited to submit their full papers by email directly to the session organizer, by February the 1th, 2005. The total length of the paper should not exceed eight pages, including all figures, tables and references. A comprehensive set of instructions for preparing camera ready papers as well as relevant information on the venue can be found at the conference site http://www.inc2005.org .

The conference will be held at the GROSEVENOR Resort in the Walt Disney World Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Florida (Orlando Area). Note that the submission deadline is February 4, 2005. Please notice also, that there will be four workshops co-located with MSAN: - BWAN 2005: International Workshop on Broadband Wireless Access Network on fixed network (http://www.bwan.org/) - COMNETS 2005: Deployment Models and Technologies for Broadband Community Networks (http://www.comnets.org/) - AAA-IDEA 2005: International Workshop on Internet DElivery of Advanced Services (http://www.aaa-idea.org/) - SID-WAS 2005: International Workshop on Standardization, Interoperability and Deployment of Wireless Access Solutions (http://standardswireless.org/) Best regards, Rolland Vida MSAN publicity co-chair ======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS - MSAN 2005 First International Conference on Multimedia Services Access Networks Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society June 13-15, 2005, Orlando, Florida, USA http://msan.org ** SCOPE ** Access networks (the ‘last-’ or ‘first-’ mile according to provider’s or customer’s perspective) represent one of the most important parts in telecommunication systems, being responsible for the high-quality, reliable and secure delivery of services to end users. They also encompass some of the most demanding networking problems, such as the coexistence of a large variety of technologies based on both wired and wireless solutions, the need of optimal integration with the core network in terms of bandwidth and availability mismatch, the provision of an acceptable quality of service in very different application scenarios and traffic conditions. Perhaps, the most important challenge is that the design of access networks – from the analysis of requirements to the implementation and operation of the system – can only be successful if it is based on an integrated approach, taking into account the needs of different user groups, the technical constraints posed by different application technologies, as well as the related business and societal aspects. Within this framework, MSAN’05 is intended to provide a unique international forum to explore the new research frontiers in the field of current and next generation multimedia service access networks. Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient access technologies and the relevant provision of advanced multimedia applications. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST ** Topics of interest are organized in three tracks addressing respectively: access network technologies (with particular emphasis on network design methodologies, protocols, analysis of performance and quality of service); multimedia service delivery (mainly focusing on the integration/adaptation between multimedia data processing and transmission techniques and access networks characteristics); implementation, operation and performance (providing an opportunity to present innovative applications and testbeds for the above technologies, as well as new approaches to testing and performance evaluation).

IMPORTANT DATES January 10, 2005 (extended to January 17, 2005-- HARD deadline) Conference Submission Due March 15, 2005 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection April 15, 2005 Camera-Ready Paper Due ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ============================== CALL FOR PAPERS Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such systems allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments, which makes them immensely useful for data collection and analysis. While much ongoing research has addressed networking, communication and low-level self-configuration issues in such systems, there are also significant challenges pertaining to systematic design, algorithm development and analysis, and abstract modeling in order to achieve efficient and robust realizations of large-scale distributed sensor systems. The large number of sensor devices involved, severe power, computational and memory limitations, resource heterogeneity, dense deployment and frequent failures pose novel challenges to design, algorithms, analysis and implementation. The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in large-scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications, and systematic design techniques and tools), but networking-related contributions that support high level abstractions are also welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Computation and programming models - Energy models, minimization, awareness - Distributed algorithms for collaborative information processing - Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability, fault-tolerance - Abstractions for modular design - Languages, operating systems - Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration - Dynamic resource management - Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level) - Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives - Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment and operation - Design automation and application synthesis techniques - Case studies: lessons from real world deployments Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on computational aspects of distributed sensor systems. Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 14 single-spaced pages using 12-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures and tables. References may be included in addition to the 14 pages. Authors need to make sure that the electronically submitted files are formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: MobiCom 2005 Call for Workshop Proposals Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2005 15:33:01 -0500 From: Wendi Heinzelman <wheinzel(a)ECE.ROCHESTER.EDU> Reply-To: MOBISYS: ACM/USENIX Mobile Systems Conference Attendees List <MOBISYS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG> To: MOBISYS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ******************************************************************* Call for Workshops 11th International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (ACM MobiCom 2005) August 28 - September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2005/ ******************************************************************* The ACM Mobicom 2005 conference will host a day of workshops on technical areas related to mobile and wireless networking. SIGMOBILE invites workshop proposals from interested communities. New workshops in emerging areas that can engage participants in greater interaction are welcome. General information: The purpose of the workshop proposal is to describe the research topics covered by the workshop and how the workshop will be organized. ACM Mobicom will provide basic support for the workshop in the form of registration, publicity, a meeting room, and help in arranging meal service for the workshop at the ACM Mobicom conference. To encourage flexibility, the details of the format of the workshop, the form of submissions and presentations, and the likes is left to the workshop organizers. Because workshops are meant to foster discussions on emerging topics of interest among the broader SIGMOBILE community, workshops are encouraged to be inclusive rather than exclusive in their solicitation of material. In addition, targeting more interactive forums such as presentations of short papers rather than traditional presentations of full-length papers can be more conducive to successful workshops. Detailed guidelines: Proposals for workshops should be sent to the ACM Mobicom workshop co-chairs Suman Banerjee (suman(a)cs.wisc.edu) or Martina Zitterbart (zit(a)tm.uka.de) by January 31, 2005, 5pm EST and should contain: * A description of the workshop's technical area, its scope, its history (if any), and why it is important in mobile and wireless networking. * A description of the workshop program (e.g., paper presentations, poster presentations, panel sessions) and expected attendance. The workshop program should fill one day and SIGMOBILE encourages programs that require only one meeting room (for simplified logistics). You should indicate if you have any other requirements, e.g., hall for poster presentations. * The names of key workshop volunteers, e.g., the workshop chair, program chair and possible program committee members. * A draft call for papers or participation. * A completed preliminary TMRF which is available from ACM at: http://www.acm.org/sig_volunteer_info/conference_manual/prelimpage.htm. * Opportunities for sponsorship from corporate donors. ---------------------------------------------------------- Wendi B.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: E-NEXT.members: Meshnets 2005 CFP (submission deadline 30 Jan) Date: Sun, 09 Jan 2005 23:23:43 +0100 From: Laura Marie Feeney <lmfeeney(a)sics.se> To: members(a)ist-e-next.net Dear ENEXT colleagues, Please consider submitting to this workshop (with apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP). MeshNets 2005 http://www.meshnets.org In conjunction with WICON 2005 10 July 2005, Budapest, Hungary IMPORTANT DATES Submissions due: January 30, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: March 15, 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 * 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 . SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be submitted in PostScript or Adobe PDF format. Papers must not exceed 8-10 (A4 size) pages, including text, figures and references, with a minimum font size of 11pt and reasonable margins. Submitted papers must be original and unpublished work, not currently under review for any other conference or journal. All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by experts and returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of accepted papers. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM Journal of Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET), by Kluwer Academic Pulblishers.
