Minden Conference Chair, IWAN 2004 The University of Kansas ==== IWAN 2004 Sixth Annual International Working Conference on Active Networks October 27-29, 2004 The University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS US CALL FOR PAPERS SCOPE: Active networking aims at providing easy, but robust, introduction of new network services to devices such as routers and switches by adding dynamic programmability to network equipment. Network programmability and service deployment architectures bring just the right services to the customer at just the right time and location. With the accelerating trend towards mobility, ad-hoc networks, and content-aware distribution, active and programmable networks will play an important role in future network architectures. IWAN 2004 brings together members of various communities using active and related techniques to address these challenges and provides a forum for discussion and collaboration involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover all aspects of active network based communication, including foundations of robust languages and security mechanisms, active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals, and active management. In addition, the meeting will focus on relating active techniques to customer needs and services. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results. However, we welcome high quality descriptive contributions where the ideas are particularly novel or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of others. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following active networking topics: --- Architectures and new concepts for Active Networks --- Standardization of frameworks --- Secure and robust network operation --- Formal descriptions, analysis, and methodologies --- Cognitive networks --- Design and development methodologies and tools --- Experiences and evaluation results --- Applications for systems and environments --- Service creation, deployment, and management --- Programmable network elements and devices --- Network processor platforms --- Hardware and software platforms for infrastructures --- Mobile and ad-hoc networking; mobile platforms; PDAs; software radios --- Content- and context-aware distribution INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS: Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 20 double-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length.

[Fwd: [CFP] Middleware for Pervasive Computing]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CFP] Middleware for Pervasive Computing Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 14:50:43 +0200 From: Christian Becker <christian.becker(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE (We apologize, if you receive multiple copies of this message) 2nd International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive and Ad-Hoc Computing http://www.smartlab.cis.strath.ac.uk/MPAC/ A Workshop of Middleware 2004 Toronto, Ontario, Canada October 18th - 22nd, 2004 Problem Space Building on the success of the 2003 workshop, this workshop seeks to develop, through establishing the state of the art, a roadmap for research on essential software infrastructures for ad-hoc and pervasive computing. Marc Weiser's dream is one of a world of pervasive devices, leveraging contextual information, to provide an increasingly interactive and responsive environment to users, to aid them in their everyday activities. However, despite considerable progress, the promise of pervasive computing outlined by Mark Weiser still remains elusive, with most developments focusing on point-examples of technology. There is a need for processing, storage and network infrastructure to support as well as development tools, in order to build large scale pervasive systems. We believe that central to these infrastructures are underpinning middleware technologies. In particular, that pervasive computing middleware will allow you to take advantage of the resources in your environment to tailor your services and applications for seamless access to services and unrestricted mobility. Ad-hoc networking middleware will permit the formation of ad-hoc communities for new applications. However, existing middleware technologies do not fully exploit the potential of such pervasive and ad-hoc environments. For instance, current ad hoc middleware technologies focus on the use of ad hoc networks as connection-ware to connect a single user to a single device for accessing its services or resources. In this workshop we focus on these core areas of middleware for ad-hoc and pervasive systems. We seek to compliment the discussion and presentations at Middleware 2004, by providing a forum focused on the specific problems of large scale, real world, pervasive computing environments through the identification of appropriate core architectures, languages, and systems. Moreover, we seek to develop a community of researchers who will specifically target the development of practical and sustainable pervasive environments and provide the key elements needed by future developers of large-scale pervasive environments. The workshop will seek papers on the areas, but not limited to, listed below: Theoretical foundations and middleware support for context based adaptation for mobile pervasive systems; New notations for specifying context-sensitive systems; Ad-hoc communities: applications, infrastructure and middlware support; Roles and responsibilities in ad-hoc communities; Group management and communication support for ad-hoc communities; Ad-hoc network communications, quality of service, management and middleware support; Sensor networks: applications, infrastructure and middleware support; Service-connection middleware and architectures; Support for zero configuration; Middleware for self-assembly, self-configuration, self-distribution; Data management infrastructure for adhoc and pervasive systems Trust, security, and privacy for pervasive systems; Technology trade-offs (agent infrastructures, mobile code systems, event based middleware); Resource discovery and management; Implications of heterogeneity (addressing needs for protocol interaction across technologies). Submission The workshop format will be focused around submission of position papers of no more than 8 pages. Papers are solicited that present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area and which then present a position on the how/what/why for the next stages and challenges for middleware technologies. 75% of the workshop will be devoted to presentation and discussion of these papers. The remaining 25% of time will be devoted to developing the outline of a roadmap and engaging all participants in the further writing and publication. Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the programme committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the veracity of the state-of-the-art statement and the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap. Appropriate publication of the workshop submissions and the roadmap is being investigated.

The realization of WSNs require intensive technical research efforts especially on energy efficient scalable wireless ad hoc communication protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique constraints. Additionally, WSNs are further evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems such that the tasks of event sensing and acting upon the phenomenon can be collectively realized in an autonomous manner by sensor and actuator nodes. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds ranging from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, and mobility support; gateways to fixed Internet; providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Source coding techniques appropriate for WSN to support data fusion * Middleware for WSN: Configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, distributed algorithms in WSN, harmonizing node-centric and data-centric addressing, integrating WSN in middleware architectures like .NET * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Applications of WSN: novel applications and their requirements such as medicine, environment control, etc.; experiences with real-world applications * What part will WSNs play in realizing the visions of ubiquitous computing & communication and Ambient Intelligence. * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds * Modeling of WSN: models for WSN load/applications, mobility or channel models For further information, please contact the co-chairs via: info(a)ewsn2005.org Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline: September 3, 2004 Notification of acceptance: December 6, 2004 Camera-ready version: December 24, 2004 EWSN 2005 Conference: January 31 - February 2, 2005 Submission Details: =================== The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] 2nd CFP: ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 09:44:47 +0300 From: Salkintzis Apostolis-Y1026C <salki(a)motorola.com> To: 'tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, Please find attached the 2nd CFP for a new special issue of Wireless Personal Communications Journal. My apologies if you receive this more than once. Best, --- Apostolis Salkintzis, Ph.D. Motorola E-mail: salki(a)motorola.com *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Wireless Personal Communications Journal* *<http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/>* ** *ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs* The recent evolution and successful deployment of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) worldwide has paved the way to more intense standardization and R&D activities, that target even more sophisticated and advanced WLAN/WPAN systems. Standardization activities within the IEEE 802.11 working group are already underway for evolving the dominant WLAN standard in several aspects, including security, mobility and quality of service (QoS. In addition, alternative physical and MAC layer proposals are being considered for improving bit rates to ranges in excess of 100 Mbps. Similar activities are taking placing within the ETSI BRAN project to further evolve the HIPERLAN/2 standard. At the same time, the core representative of WPANs, i.e. Bluetooth, is being further evolved by IEEE 802.15 TG1. Other task groups within IEEE 802.15 develop specifications for high- and low-rate WPANs, known as IEEE 802.15.3 and IEEE 802.15.4 respectively. Moreover, interworking mechanisms are being investigated for combining WLAN/WPANs and second-/third-generation cellular networks into hybrid data networks, capable of very high bit rates in strategic locations (hotspots). 3GPP is one notable standardization body that currently standardizes such interworking mechanisms. Last but not least, it is important to note the numerous research projects worldwide that address a vast collection of issues related to WLANs and WPANs, ranging from the seamless mobility across UTRAN and WLAN (see for example the IST EVOLUTE project at http://evolute.intranet.gr/) to heterogeneous multihop wireless networks consisting of combinations of WPAN and WLAN technologies (see for example the IST 6HOP project). All these activities combined with market forecasts, which report that WLANs and WPANs will encounter a tremendous growth in the next years, demonstrate that WLAN and WPAN technologies will play a significant role in the future and will severely impact our business and personal life styles. However, several issues still need to be efficiently addressed, including power consumption, physical and MAC layer architecture, radio resource management, interworking, QoS, security, co-existence with other unlicensed technologies, self configuration, etc. The goal of this special issue is to address the above issues and provide a timely and concise reference of the current activities and research findings in the fields of WLANs and WPANs. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these technologies. In this context, papers are solicited that describe original and unpublished contributions on representative topics, such as: * Authentication and Security in WLANs and WPANs * QoS and policy issues in WLANs/WPANs * Interworking between WLAN and WPAN technologies * WLANs and 2G/3G interworking * Emerging MAC protocols * Technologies for very-high-bit-rate WLANs * Mobility issues and mobility protocols * Support of multimedia over WLAN/WPAN * Multihop and ad hoc architectures * Applications tailored to WLANs/WPANs * Radio resource management techniques * WLANs/WPANs in 4G networks * WLANs/WPANs co-existence issues * Voice/video over WLANs and WPANs * Standardization activities * Performance studies * Self organization in WLAN networks * Management of large scale WLAN networks Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the Author Instructions available at_ <http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/>_.

hier ist einmal ein CfP mit einer richtig langen Vorlaufzeit -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Journal of Network and System Management Call for Papers Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 11:45:25 -0400 From: Bush, Stephen F (Research) <bushsf(a)research.ge.com> To: 'tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear Colleagues, Below please find a call-for-papers for a JSNM Special Issue on Active and Programmable Networks. 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. Please prepare the manuscripts in single-column, double- spaced format and submit Word, PDF, or Postscript files. ------------------------------------------------------------ Guest Editors: Dr. Stephen F.

[ieee-cnom] Call for Papers for IEEE Communications Magazine (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 07 May '04

07 May '04

Call for Papers for IEEE Communications Magazine Multiple Access Technologies for B3G Wireless Communications Background The B3G wireless systems promise to deliver a much higher data transmission rate and more diverse services than what current 2-3G systems can do. All-IP wireless has been emerging as the most preferred architecture for B3G wireless. Therefore, the design of future wireless air-interface has to take into account the fact that dominant load in B3G wireless channels will be high-speed burst-type traffic. The necessity to support such a great amount of burst-type traffic in wireless channels has already posed a great challenge to all existing air-link technologies based on either TDMA or CDMA. Many research initiatives have been on the way to investigate the issues on which type of multiple access technologies will be most suitable for B3G wireless. Some suggested that the current CDMA technologies (all based on DS-CDMA, such as IS-95A/B, cdma2000, UTRA, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, etc.) are suited only for slow-speed continuous-transmission applications such as voice, but not a good choice for high-speed burst-type traffic, as the case in future all-IP 4G wireless. Therefore, a new wave of world-wide research is imperative to search for next generation multiple access technologies, which should effectively address all the constraints and problems existing in the current TDMA and CDMA technologies, such as poor bandwidth efficiency, strictly interference-limited capacity, difficulties in performing rate-matching algorithms, complexity to implement fast adaptive equalizer, etc. The study on the next generation multiple access technologies involves many cutting-edge research topics, such as novel CDMA code design, time-frequency adaptive equalization, interference-free CDMA architecture, high data rate TDMA and innovative transceivers. The short-term objective is to look for new multiple access technologies, which could effectively enhance overall bandwidth efficiency and detection efficiency, as well as fit the all-IP wireless applications. The ultimate goal, however, is to engineer an ideal air-interface architecture whose capacity should be limited only by noise rather than interference. This issue will serve as a stimulus to accelerate technological evolution of multiple access technologies for B3G wireless applications. Scope of Contributions The papers in this Feature Topic will focus on state-of-the-art research in various physical-layer aspects of next generation multiple access technologies suitable for B3G wireless. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but not limited to, the following subjects: a.. Innovative spread spectrum and CDMA techniques b.. HDR-CDMA and HDR-TDMA c.. All-IP wireless air-interface d.. M-ary CDMA e.. Hybrid OFDM, CDMA, TDMA and FDMA f.. Orthogonal code and sequence design g.. Multi-carrier/OFDM techniques h.. Quasi-synchronous CDMA i.. Complementary code CDMA j.. Isotropic air-link technology k.. UWB and pulse radio techniques l.. MAI reduction techniques m.. Fast adaptive equalization n.. Multipath interference immunity techniques o.. Multi-user detection and signal processing p.. Adaptive modulations suitable for CDMA/TDMA/OFDM q.. Near-far resistant CDMA r.. ST-coded and MIMO TDMA/CDMA systems s.. Novel power control techniques t.. Pilot-added CDMA/TDMA signaling design u.. Synchronization control v.. Dynamic channel allocation and assignment w.. CDMA/TDMA system implementation x.. CDMA/TDMA standardization issues Papers should be of tutorial nature or contain state-of-the-art research and development materials. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines regarding the manuscript format.

On the other hand, in the academic research community and grid computing community, many networked computing infrastructures, such as Emulab and Planetlab, have been built and shared among research scientists to run various types of research experiments. Utility Computing (UC) is a paradigm that enables distributed resources (network, systems, applications, services) being provided to users on-demand and in a uniform manner. A utility infrastructure thus has to be dynamic, virtualized, secure and automated, in nature and operate on a wide range of resources. While the UC paradigm itself will very likely enable many exciting distributed applications over the Internet in the near future, technologies related to the management of networks, computing systems, and resources under utility computing systems must be carefully studied and examined. Therefore, this year's DSOM workshop will focus on infrastructure, techniques and methods that can be used to enable the paradigm of utility computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: · Management Architectures · Automation for enabling self-management, self-configuration, and policy-based management · Management Information Models · Use of service-oriented architectures (web services, grid services) for management · Provisioning/Maintaining the Performance and QoS Management · SLA and business-objective driven management · Security, Privacy, and Isolation · Fault Management and Fault Tolerance · Monitoring, event and fault handling · Closed-loop management · Configuration, Accounting, Billing · Experience with distributed Management of Systems, Applications, Networks · Inter-domain management · Adaptive Services and Applications · Transaction Monitoring and Management · Integration with Standardized frameworks, management APIs and models (CIM/WBEM, OSI/TMN, CORBA, SNMP, JMX etc) · Implementation, Instrumentation, and Experience Important Paper Deadline: Submission May 24, 2004 Notification July 12, 2004 Camera ready Aug 5, 2004 Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged to be submitted to DSOM 2004.

CFP: 1st IEEE International Workshop On Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment
by Lars Wolf 04 May '04

04 May '04

[Apologies if you receive this more than once] ---- CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'04) GLOBECOM 2004 - Satellite Workshop November 29th 2004 Dallas, TX, USA The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. Many of the technologies pioneered in emerging entertainment applications have also found use in a large spectrum of more serious settings, ranging from telemedicine to in-home, in-car, in-flight multimedia distribution platforms. The success of the entertainment technology is confirmed by several facts. Take, for example, the two following cases: in 2003 the revenues generated by games have yet again surpassed those provided by the movie industry; the Apple iTunes online music service has hit a record share of almost 20% in the MP3 player market in the last semester of 2003. Further, while in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences (e.g., video on demand), continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. Simply put, today's entertainment technology is able to create "entertainment spaces" in which people experience a world where games, movies, songs, plus news, sport events and shows, are all made available for instant enjoyment with just one click. Another beneficial aspect of high-tech entertainment is that this phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, however, only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a "large interactive environment" for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless Internet (along with its protocols, architectures, programming styles and technological solutions) may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The first IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on Next-Generation Multimedia Networking concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution.
