-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: MSAN 2005 - First International Conference on Multimedia Services Access Networks Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 17:32:35 -0400 From: Wenjing Lou <wjlou(a)WPI.EDU> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Please accept our apologies for multiple copies +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ 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 Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient access technologies and the relevant provision of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). Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Track 1: Access technologies and networks in MSANs (technologies and protocols) - Wire-based access (PON, FTTx, xDSL) - Wireless fixed access solutions (802.11x and 802.16 networks) - Mobile and nomadic access (3G and beyond, WiFi, etc.) - Other emerging technologies (power lines, CATV, DOCSIS, FSO) - Integration/migration among different technologies (heterogeneous nets, seamless handover) - Integration with core network - Handling bandwidth and availability mismatch between optical and wireless Track 2: Delivery of multimedia services - Technologies for multimedia-multimodal services - Streaming over IP (VoIP, packet video, rate control, error control) - Scheduling and allocation of network resources (bandwidth allocation, power management, etc.) - Quality of service (at network and application level) - Terminals and devices - Security issues Track 3: MSAN implementation, operation and performance - Testbeds and laboratory experiments - Performance evaluation and measurements - Interoperability of last mile solutions - Case studies of novel networking solutions and services implemented - Application techniques, tools and experiences (e.g., health, tourism, e-government, entertainment) - Specific operation and management issues - Planning and design methodology and tools ** CHAIRS ** General Co-Chairs: Aggelos K.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Kuvs] CfP LoCA 2005 Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 16:16:50 +0200 From: Claudia Linnhoff-Popien <linnhoff(a)ifi.lmu.de> Reply-To: linnhoff(a)ifi.lmu.de, thomas.strang(a)dlr.de To: kuvs(a)tm.uka.de ** Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement ** ** Please forward to anyone who might be interested ** CfP for the International Workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness (LoCA 2005) in cooperation with Pervasive 2005 May 12-13, 2005 Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Germany http://loca2005.context-aware.org Submission Deadline: December 17th, 2004 LoCA 2005 - Call for Papers --- The goal of this workshop is to address and discuss the technical challenges, ideas, views, and research results in sensing, fusing and distributing location information as well as providing location- and context-awareness to applications and services such as navigation in pervasive systems. The workshop is a platform to propose new positioning algorithms and location sensing techniques, including new techniques and studies into the properties of existing technologies. This includes enhancements of singular systems (e.g. positioning in cellular telephone networks such as GSM; positioning in WLAN environments; etc.) as well as hybrid systems (e.g. integration of Global Navigation Satellite Systems with Inertial Positioning Systems). Improvements in sensor technology, integration and sensor fusion may be addressed either on a theoretical or on an implementation level. The genesis of nearly all kinds of dynamic location information is mobility. Mobility - in all its facets (user mobility, device mobility, session mobility etc.) - requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, as well as discovery and execution frameworks for location-aware services. Thus we invite you to submit proposals and/or experience papers in the area of mobility and its mentioned adjacencies. Context-awareness, a generalization of location-awareness, is another driver of the pervasive computing paradigm. Well designed context modeling and context retrieval approaches are key accessors to the context in any context-aware system. Thus we emphatically invite submissions dealing with issues of modeling and retrieval of context. This may also include integration aspects into service platforms and frameworks to provide location- and context-awareness to services. Personal and confidential data such as the location of the user stored on mobile devices and the location of the mobile device itself have profound implications for personal information privacy. Thus the area of protecting privacy, privacy-oriented location-aware systems, and how privacy affects the feasibility and usefulness of systems may be addressed. Example topics include privacy enablers in pervasive surveillance and sensing environments or location anonymity techniques. Scenarios and applications for location-aware computing may be surveyed and evaluated, including existing applications and aiming forwards future applications, to facilitate the deployment and everyday use of location-aware computing systems in workplaces, homes and public spaces. The workshop particularly values practical experience with design, deployment and use of location- and context-aware systems and applications, and investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and technologies. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Single Sensor Enhancements - Hybrid Sensor Systems and Sensor Fusion - Positioning and Navigation Algorithms - Mobility - Wireless Network Enhancements - Context Modelling and Retrieval - Context Provisioning Frameworks - Location and Context Information Distribution - Mobile Devices - Security and Privacy of Location and Context - Cognitive Environments - Discovery and Execution Frameworks - Scenarios and Applications This workshop is co-located with Pervasive 2005 concerning time and place, see http://www.pervasive2005.org for details.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: WSNIA 2005 - CFP Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 13:32:40 -0400 From: Safwat, A. M. <safwat(a)cs.queensu.ca> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org CC: <Gracanin(a)vt.edu>, <younis(a)umbc.edu>, <toweissy(a)vt.edu> First IEEE Workshop on Information Assurance in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNIA 2005) http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~younis/WSNIA2005.htm In conjunction with 24th IEEE International Performance Computing and Communications Conference (IPCCC 2005) http://ipccc.org/ April 7-9, 2005, Phoenix, Arizona Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in applications such as smart environments, disaster management, combat field reconnaissance, and security surveillance. While the initial view of the community was that WSNs will play a complementary role that enhances the quality of these applications, recent research results have encouraged practitioners to envision an increased reliance on WSNs in such critical and sensitive applications. Therefore, to realize their potential, necessary information assurance (IA) measures have to be incorporated in the design and during the operation of WSNs. IA is usually specified using attributes like integrity, authenticity, confidentiality, availability, and survivability. A defense-in-depth approach to IA involves the activities of attack and failure prevention, detection and response, as well as the refinement of these activities. The scope of defense-in-depth may start with a diameter that spans the deployed sensors to a diameter that includes the command nodes and likely beyond. It also involves assurance at, and cross-cutting, the protocol stack layers, from physical to application. Achieving information assurance in WSNs will require non-conventional mechanisms due to many factors including: (1) sensors are significantly constrained in the amount of available resources such as energy, storage and computation; (2) sensors are expected to be deployed in very large numbers in normal as well as forbidding environments; (3) WSNs suffer from structural weakness and limited physical protection, and (4) localization of impact is complicated due to the un-tethered nature of the WSN and of the potential attackers. In addition, IA requirements may vary according to a WSN's mission defined over a multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, data collection), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event recovery), and time. This workshop will foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results on IA in WSNs. Best papers will be invited to a Special Issue of the Journal of Computer Security (http://www.csl.sri.com/programs/security/jcs/). Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following: * Fault & intrusion-tolerant architectural & operational models * Robust routing, storage, and processing of sensed data * Predictable MAC medium access arbitration * IA architectures and protocols * Vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures * Monitoring and evaluation techniques * Scalability and robust clustering techniques * Resilient virtual infrastructures * Autonomic IA in WSNs * Formal representation & verification of assurance properties * Adaptive security and assurance techniques * Quality of service provisioning * Metrics for measuring security, assurance and dependability * Privacy-aware dependable operation * Simulation and visualization environments * Agent-based management for multi-tier WSNs * WSNs as components of larger information grids Prospective authors should submit their paper electronically to toweissy(a)vt.edu <mailto:toweissy@vt.edu> or younis(a)csee.umbc.edu <mailto:younis@csee.umbc.edu>. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. The manuscript should not exceed 20 single-column double-space pages in MS-Word, PS or PDF font size 11 or larger. The first page should include the title, authors' contact information, an abstract and five keywords. Authors should attach the abstract to their message.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] 2nd CFP WWAN 2005, Columbus, Ohio, USA, 6-9 June, 2005 Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2004 09:00:30 +0200 From: David Simplot-Ryl <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> To: <arp(a)cines.fr>, <alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr>, <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ====================================================================== 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS WWAN 2005 2nd International Workshop on Wireless Ad Hoc Networking http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2005 to be held in conjunction with The 25th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS-2005) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6-9, 2005 http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/icdcs05 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Purpose Wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks (network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure), such as cellular or satellite systems. Wireless ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless ad-hoc networks are formed by a set of hosts that communicate with each other over a wireless channel. Each node has the ability to communicate directly with another node in its physical neighborhood. They operate in a self-organized and decentralized manner and message communication takes place via multi-hop spreading. A packet is sent to its target node through a set of intermediate nodes that act as routers. Particular ad hoc network systems include packet radio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftop networks, and wireless local area networks. This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical issues up to applications aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. The first edition of WWAN held last year during ICDCS-2004 (Tokyo, Japan) was organized by David Simplot-Ryl and Ivan Stojmenovic. In response to the Call for Papers, 42 papers from 20 different countries had been submitted. Based on three review reports per paper, they was classified as accept, reject or discuss. For those papers in the discuss list, additional opinions were sought. As a result, a total of 21 papers were selected for presentation at WWAN 2004 and were organized in 7 sessions. Website of this prior workshop: http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2004 Topics of Interest We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Applications and history of ad hoc networks, - Physical layer of ad hoc networks, - Pervasive and wearable computing, - IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth based medium access control, - Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation, - Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks, - Hybrid networks and wireless internet, - Security in ad hoc networks, - Data management issues, query processing, data delivery, - Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks, - Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks, - Quality of service in medium access control and routing, - Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Reminder-- Special Journal Issue on Towards Ubiquitous WirelessCommunication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 13:57:25 -0400 From: Nidal Nasser <nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> - Reminder - Deadline in two weeks - ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing (IJWMC) https://www.inderscience.com Special Issue on Towards Ubiquitous Wireless Communication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Guest Editors Nidal Nasser and Hossam Hassanein Telecommunications Research Laboratory School of Computing, Queen’s University Kingston, ON, Canada K7L 3N6 nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:Nasser@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~nasser/ hossam(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:hossam@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~hossam/ ================================================================================ Theme: Future wireless networks will generally be characterized by heterogeneity in architecture, protocols and air interfaces. The wireless networking scene is dominated by two distinct networking platforms: (a) cellular networks, which passed through multiple generations -1G, 2G and 3G, and (b) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) championed by the IEEE 802.11 networks. Recent trends indicate that 3G networks and WLANs will co-exist to offer public wireless broadband services to end users. The two platforms offer characteristics that complement each other perfectly. The 3G cellular systems such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Code Division Multiple Access (cdma2000) will support real-time and non-real-time multimedia services with data rates from 144 kb/s to 2 Mb/s with wide coverage and nearly universal roaming. However, the costs of acquiring the necessary radio spectrum and the required network equipment upgrades are very high. This is in contrast to WLAN systems such as IEEE 802.11 a/b/g, which provide affordable services and bit rates surpassing those of 3G systems, up to 11 Mb/s with 802.11b and 54 Mb/s with 802.11a/g. However, the coverage offered by WLANs is quit limited and lacks roaming support. The complementary characteristics of 3G cellular systems (slow, wide coverage) and WLAN (fast, limited coverage) make it attractive to integrate these two technologies to provide ubiquitous wireless access. The purpose of integrating 3G systems and WLANs is to make it possible to use the best parts of both systems. High bandwidth WLANs are used for data transfer where available and 3G systems can be used where WLAN coverage is lacking. Development and standardization efforts are currently underway for defining suitable architectures for 3G/WLAN integration. However, designing a network architecture that efficiently integrates 3G systems and WLAN is a challenge task that needs a lot of research efforts. In this special issue, we intend to publish a collection of high quality papers by world leading researchers that present state-of-the-art research in the area of 3G/WLAN integration. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Mobility management 2. Seamless vertical handoff techniques between 3G and WLAN 3. Location management techniques 4. Architecture design scenarios for integrating 3G and WLAN systems 5. Network selection criteria 6. Bandwidth adaptation 7. Consistent quality of service across 3G and WLAN 8. Adaptive quality of service provisioning 9. Performance evaluation studies 10. Pricing and Billing Issues 11. Standardization activities Paper Submission: Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed 25 double spaced pages with reasonable margins and a font size of no less than 11pt, including figures and references, and should include an abstract, not to exceed 250 words. Papers should be submitted in PDF or Microsoft Word format by e-mail to 3GWLAN(a)cs.queensu.ca. Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. All papers will be peer reviewed.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers: First IEEE International Workshop on Networking Meets Databases (NetDB) Date: Fri, 01 Oct 2004 14:32:23 -0700 From: Ramesh Govindan <ramesh(a)usc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL For PAPERS --------------- 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networking Meets Databases (NetDB) in cooperation with 21st IEEE Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2005) April 8th and 9th, 2005 National Center of Science Tokyo, Japan The First Workshop on Networking Meets Databases, NetDB, will bring together researchers in the networking and database communities to debate emerging research directions. We are witnessing the blurring of the traditional boundaries between these two disciplines, especially in the emerging areas of sensor and peer-to-peer networks. We believe time is ripe for these two communities to get together and discuss the common interests, share and exchange expertise and results, and appreciate each other's terminologies and contributions. The goal of this year's workshop is to promote discussion of ideas that will influence and foster continued research in the areas of sensor and peer-to-peer networks. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers to present new ideas that can significantly impact both communities and perhaps give birth to a new community in the long term. We encourage submissions in the areas of sensor and peer-to-peer networks across the broad range of networking and database research. Topics of interest include, but are by no means limited to: - Architectures for sensor and peer-to-peer databases - Applications of sensor and peer-to-peer databases - Data analysis for network traffic estimation and security - Data models, query models, and query languages for sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Data placement and storage in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Query planning, execution, and optimization in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Indexing, caching, and replication techniques for sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Scalable distributed data structures for data management in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Workload characterization and performance evaluation for sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Dynamic schema integration in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Self-* properties and emergent behavior in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Transaction management for peer-to-peer networks - Data mining, data retrieval, and streaming in peer-to-peer systems The selection of NetDB papers will be based primarily on their potential to influence future research. This influence can be exercised in many ways, exemplified by but not limited to the following: - Describing a novel approach to an old problem that promises to influence future research - Describing a new problem that requires our attention - Articulating a new perspective about networking and databases - Debunking an old perspective about networking or databases Copies of the accepted papers will be made publicly available via the Web prior to the workshop. Proceedings will be made available as an IEEE formal electronic post-workshop proceeding, where the papers will be included in the digital library of IEEE CS. We are investigating a special issue of a journal to publish a selected set of accepted papers. **Important Dates - Submissions due: November 15, 2004 (10:00 pm Pacific, HARD) - Notification of acceptance: January 10, 2005 - Camera-ready copy due: February 4, 2005 - Workshop: April 8-9, 2005 **Invited Speaker: - Michael Franklin (UCB) **Program Committee Co-Chairs: - Ramesh Govindan (USC) - Cyrus Shahabi (USC) **Program Committee Members: Karl Aberer (EPFL) Divyakant Agrawal (UCSB) Gustavo Alonso (ETH) Philippe Bonnet (Diku, Copenhagen) John Byers (Boston Uiversity) Ugur Cetintemel (Brown University) Amr El Abbadi (UCSB) Steve Gribble (University of Washington) Wei Hong (Intel, Berkeley) Vana Kalogeraki (UC Riverside) Brad Karp (CMU) Sam Madden (MIT) Evaggelia Pitoura (University of Ioannina, Greece) Mema Roussopoulos (Harvard University) Scott Shenker (UCB, ICSI) Ouri E.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05) Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 15:17:53 +0200 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2005 In conjunction with the 25th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations. This first workshop intends to put together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2005 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/).

[Fwd: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05)]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05) Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 15:17:53 +0200 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2005 In conjunction with the 25th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations. This first workshop intends to put together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2005 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Emails and hard copies will be accepted only if motivated reasons prevent electronic submission.

Apologies if you receive duplicates ================================================== Call for IM'2005 Application Sessions Presentations Submission Deadline - 2004 October 01 Application Session submissions are currently sought. Your experience, lessons-learned, business cases, implementation examples, new applications, innovative enterprises, organizational impacts, in any of the detailed topics below. Papers for the Application Sessions should be written in English. The paper format should have a visual in the upper half of a page and the explanatory text in the lower half. Paper submissions should consist of no more than 15 annotated visuals in PDF only. Detailed author instructions are available on the author information page on the conference web site. Submission: 1 October 2004, midnight (GMT) Notification: 26 November 2004 Camera Ready: 15 January 2005 www.im2005.org The Ninth IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2005) will be held 16-19 May 2005 in Nice, France. IM 2005 will present the latest technical advances in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Held in odd-numbered years since 1989 and taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS, IM 2005 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). We are witnessing the dawn of a new era in networking. New networked worlds emerge in which connectivity becomes increasingly ubiquitous and the infrastructure blends in seamlessly with business functions, applications, and the supported environment. These new worlds are characterized by properties such as convergence, context awareness, accelerated service lifecycles, virtualization of resources, massive P2P infrastructures, and unprecedented security challenges. Further, new types of networks are emerging such as sensor, agent, storage-area, and grid-based networks. All of this incurs new challenges and opportunities for network management and the ways in which it is approached, requiring management technology to evolve as rapidly as the new networked worlds.IM 2005 will be organized into technical sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and vendor exhibits. In the tradition of previous events, we strive to make the IM 2005 Symposium the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes many of the most respected experts in the field. Detailed submission instructions are available on the symposium Web site, http://www.ieee-im.org/.

28 Sep '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: WMAN 05: 1st Call for Papers Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 14:29:52 +0300 (EEST) From: Ioannis Chatzigiannakis <ichatz(a)cti.gr> To: ichatz(a)cti.gr [Apologies for multiple postings] 1st Call for Papers 5th IEEE International Workshop on Algorithms for Wireless, Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (IEEE WMAN 05) April 4-8, 2005, Denver, Colorado, USA (Omni Interlocken Resort) To be held in conjunction with IPDPS 2005 Supported by the IEEE Computer Society http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~boukerch/ipdpswman.html SCOPE: The field of wireless and mobile computing is an important research challenging area, that emerges from the integration among personal computing distributed computing, cellular technology and the Web. This is possible due to the continuously increasing interaction between communication and computing, which is changing the information access from the current reactive ``anytime anywhere'' into the incoming proactive ``all the time everywhere'' approach. Nowadays, there is a large variety of networks spanning from the well-known cellular networks to non-infrastructured wireless networks such as mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. This scenario raises a number of interesting, and difficult, algorithmic issues in diverse areas such as location management, resource allocation, ubiquitous information, network connectivity, reliability and security, and energy consumption. This workshop is intended to cover contributions in both the design and analysis of discrete algorithms and the system modelling in the context of mobile, wireless, ad-hoc, and sensor networks. In particular, it aims at bringing together the practitioners and theoreticians of the field. We are seeking for papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review. The objective of this workshop is to bring together leading technologists and researchers in these ``critical areas'' of research in order to have a forum for discussing fundamental challenges, identifying future perspectives, and exchanging ideas about ongoing research. Authors are solicited to submit original unpublished manuscripts for this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings (by IEEE CS Press) of the IPDPS workshops. TOPICS: The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited, to: * frequency and channel assignment algorithms * cryptography and security * distributed algorithms * pricing modeling and solutions * algorithms for satellite communications * mechanisms design and cooperation enforcement * algorithms and modeling on satellite and radio networks * algorithms for resource management in mobile, wireless and ad-hoc networks * data management on mobile and wireless computing * algorithms for single-hop and multiple-hop packet radio networks * routing, and communication primitives in ad hoc and sensor networks * synchronization and scheduling issues in mobile and ad hoc networks * energy saving protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks * complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments * caching and prefetching for information access in wireless networks * algorithms and modeling for tracking and locating mobile users IMPORTANT DATES: Workshop Paper Due: November 20, 2004, 5pm EST Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: December 22, 2004 Camera-Ready Paper Due: January 15, 2004 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND PUBLICATION: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the WMAN workshop. The length of the papers should be a maximum of 10 double-column single-spaced pages including figures and references on 8.5 by 11 inch paper using at least 10 point font (based upon IEEE Proceedings Style). Please remember that the final versions will be restricted to 8 pages. We strongly encourage authors to submit papers electronically in PDF format via EDAS. More information on how to submit your paper electronically, will be provided later. Under certain circumstances, you may submit paper in PDF format as an e-mail attachment to nikole(a)cti.gr Note that once the paper gets accepted, it is MANDATORY that at least one author should attend the workshop and present the paper. The accepted papers will be published in the same printed abstract volume and CD-ROM proceedings as other workshops of the IPDPS 2005 conference by the IEEE Computer Society Press and IEEE online library.
