-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Special Issue of IEEE Network Magazine on QoS in wireless LANs Date: Mon, 3 May 2004 16:48:17 +0300 From: Christos Douligeris <cdoulig(a)unipi.gr> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: 'Vergados Dimitrios' <vergados(a)aegean.gr>, 'Christos Douligeris' <cdoulig(a)unipi.gr> Sorry for Multiple postings A .doc file is also attached *********************************************************** Call for Papers IEEE Network Special Issue on Wireless Local Area Networking: QoS provision & Resource Management Guest Editors Prof. Christos Douligeris Department of Informatics University of Piraeus 80, Karaoli & Dimitriou St. GR - 185 34, Piraeus, Greece Email: cdoulig(a)unipi.gr Dr. Dimitrios D. Vergados Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering University of the Aegean GR - 832 00, Karlovassi, Samos, Greece Email: vergados(a)aegean.gr Scope Next generation wireless networks are evolving to accommodate a variety of services and traffic types, including data transfer, voice, video and multimedia streaming, while allowing a user to roam within the service area of the network, or between networks without disrupting the quality of service (QoS) provided. Current wireless local area networks can provide only best-effort QoS with limited capabilities regarding mobility. Future wireless access networks must be able to guarantee predefined levels of QoS allowing the services mentioned above to be supported. Furthermore, the QoS parameters should not be exceeded during intra WLAN and WLAN – cellular handoff. Providing QoS sufficient to support these applications over a WLAN can be a challenging task. WLANs often allow a variable number of users with heterogeneous QoS requirements to share a common radio channel, usually with limited access control, making packet delivery fluctuant and unpredictable. WLAN MAC protocols must be extended to support prioritization and bandwidth reservation in order to enable guaranteed QoS provisioning to users of wireless services. Also, user mobility, as it has been manifested in extensive studies in cellular networks, introduces a new set of QoS parameters which must be considered when designing a local area network. Wireless Local Area Networks cover single-hop or multi-hop communications which can provide various network services within a limited service area. Research and deployment of these networks has been very rapid in the past few years, leading to the development of a number of wireless local area network technologies, like 802.11 (Wi-Fi), 802.15.3 and HiperLAN. Even though these technologies can provide high speed (broadband) wireless access to IP networks, they have significant limitations, which must be overcome for allowing seamless, scalable and stable QoS for wireless mobile users. The goal of the special issue in IEEE Network Magazine is to publish original research and review articles which should be comprehensive to all readers, regardless of their specialty. This special issue will cover comprehensively architectures, algorithms and technologies for quality of service (QoS) and resource management in wireless local area networks (WLANs). In particular we are interested in tutorial, survey and original research articles on, but not limited to the following topics: * QoS support in WLANs * QoS provisioning, management and capacity optimization in WLANs. * WLAN performance evaluation studies * Layer 2 mobility management/support in WLANs * Consistent QoS across WLAN and 3G handover * Power control and management for energy-efficient WLANs * Service differentiation in WLANs * QoS and security in WLANs * QoS accounting & billing for WLAN hotspots. Manuscript Submission Interested authors should submit an electronic version of the manuscript, in PDF format, as an email attachment to both guest editors. Additional information including “Guidelines for authors” is available at the IEEE Network Website: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html Important Dates Submission Deadline: October 15, 2004 Acceptance Notification: March 1, 2005 Final Manuscripts Due: April 15 2005 Publication of Special Issue: July/August 2005 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

Yarvis (mark.d.yarvis(a)intel.com) Intel Research and Development Intel Corporation, JF3-206 2111 N.E. 25th Ave. Hillsboro, OR 97124-5961 Subject Coverage Since people frequently work beyond their office desk, it is expected that the next generation of communication networks will include rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly and wirelessly without any networking infrastructure, such as the Internet or infrastructure-based wireless networks. Instead, users form mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). These networks are self-configurable and self-healable, and therefore easily adopted in a home environment and more cheaply deployed and maintained in a business environment. While ad hoc networks are rapidly gaining in popularity, group communication technologies have already shown their importance in education, entertainment, business, military, and other industries. However, thus far those technologies have mainly been designed for use in the Internet. This special journal issue is focused on development of group communication solutions in ad hoc networks. This work is significant to many interesting applications. Examples are strategic collaboration among soldiers in a battlefield, collaborative data processing such as tracking and localization in sensor networks, collaborative intrusion detection among a group of distant surveillance cameras, to name just a few. Also relevant to ad hoc networks is the concept of peer-to-peer (P2P). P2P networks are commonly used in the Internet to enable services that leverage a collection of peer nodes rather than a single infrastructure server, making them resilient to the failure of an individual node. These properties are attractive for applications deployed in ad hoc wireless networks, which have similar requirements. Research on group communications in ad hoc networks is still in its infancy. There are many open issues due to the deviation between resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service required by group communication services. Areas of interest for this special journal issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Ad hoc networking architectures with inherent P2P communication support - Use of P2P technology for ad hoc network formation and management - Multicast routing in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks - Algorithms for reliable delivery and congestion control in ad hoc networks - Location and mobility management in ad hoc group communications - Algorithms for self-configuration, maintenance, and stabilization - Data management, operating system, and middleware for ad hoc group communications - Security and privacy in ad hoc group communications - Collaborative multimedia systems in ad hoc networks - Collaborative signal processing and information retrieval in ad hoc networks - Innovative applications of group communication in ad hoc networks Paper Submission Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Please submit full papers in PDF via email to one of the guest editors. Submitted papers must not be previously published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers will not exceed 6000 words or 15 single spaced pages in IEEE Transactions style. Hard copies should only be sent if electronic submission is not possible. All manuscripts will be reviewed by a selected panel of referees. Original artwork and a signed copy of the copyright release form will be required for all accepted papers. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] PATHNets 2004 - Call for Papers Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2004 13:51:37 -0700 (PDT) From: Murari Sridharan <murarisridharan(a)yahoo.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies. CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************************************** * 1st Workshop on Provisioning & Transport for Hybrid Networks (PATHNets) * * (co-located with BroadNets 2004) * * San Jose, CA, October 25 2004 * * * PATHNets 2004 * *********************************************************************************************** * http://www.pathnets.org <http://www.pathnets.org/> * *********************************************************************************************** SCOPE Whether it is image visualization, IP telephony, high-volume file transfers, or large-scale sciences like climate modeling, high-energy physics, and bioinformatics, these and other bandwidth-hungry applications are forcing us to re-think our current network theories and implementations. Today's network transport protocols are incapable of providing the network characteristics needed by large-scale applications. The highly flexible sharing relationships among geographically distributed computers are fundamentally changing the way we think about application development. Wide-area network infrastructure is evolving in such a way that our current network theories and implementations are being obsoleted. In the past and to some degree today, the wide-area infrastructure is primarily packet-switched with electronic signaling and switching. However, this infrastructure is rapidly changing, with high-speed optical routers interconnected within a circuit-switched optical core and with slower packet-switched networks in the periphery. The ubiquitous TCP protocol and its variants were originally designed and optimized for low speed transfers on shared networks where bandwidth is a critical and limited resource. To improve the transport performance on high bandwidth-delay product links, researchers have proposed many TCP variants like Scalable TCP, HighSpeed TCP, FAST TCP, etc. However, the current gigabits-per-second (peak) throughputs achie! ved using these variants are for short durations under heavily simulated conditions with manual parameter tuning. Large-scale applications require orders of magnitude more throughput to be available during the entire lifetime of the application! Recently the lambda-grid community has proposed a range of rate-based protocols like Reliable-Blast UDP (RBUDP) and SABUL which have performed better than TCP in general. However, it is not clear whether TCP-based protocols, non-TCP-based protocols, or a combination of both will be required for hybrid networks. How the protocol suite must evolve to the changing infrastructure and how network provisioning will be deployed in these hybrid networks will be the key networking issues over the next five to ten years. The PATHNets workshop invites original, unpublished, full papers that address research issues and real world case studies on the topics of interest that includes, but not limited to, the following: -Dynamic provisioning over a centrally-managed core vs. a distributed-managed core. -Real-time circuit set-up and scheduling algorithms. -Dynamic call admission and online reconfiguration techniques for hybrid networks -Transport protocols for a circuit-switched networks: TCP vs non-TCP. -Transport protocols for hybrid networks: TCP based vs non-TCP based, or a dynamic adaptation of both. -Heterogeneous routing and control algorithms that enable transport protocols to co-exist with an optical core. -Adaptation of transport protocols to operate over WANs spanning multiple medium types, e.g. optical and wireless, which can result in specific hops seeing higher error rates and subsequently, higher packet losses. -Design, architecture, and evaluation of provisioning systems. -Design, architecture, and evaluation of transport protocols. SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 20 double-spaced pages, including references, figures and tables. All submissions should be submitted electronically in Postscript or Adobe PDF format through the EDAS web site( http://edas.info ) <http://edas.info%20)/>Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.

Dear TPC & OC member, please distribute the attached CFP in all possible lists, you know including the various national lists you may know or maintain. Best Regards the IM'2005 TPC Chairs CALL FOR PAPERS ********************************************************************** 9th IFIP/IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT (IM'05) 15-19 May, 2005 Nice, France http://www.ieee-im.org/ ********************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES Submission : August 23, 2004 Notification : November 26, 2004 Cameray Ready : January 15, 2005 ********************************************************************** "Managing New Networked Worlds" 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 no longer only characterized by the increasing heterogeneity and number of devices, but also by properties such as convergence, context awareness, accelerated service lifecycles, virtualization of resources, massive P2P infrastructures, unprecedented security challenges, and much more. Further, new types of networks are emerging such as sensor networks, agent networks, storage-area networks, 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 application sessions focusing on 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL PROGRAM --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, as well as proposals for tutorials, panel discussions, poster demonstrations, or birds-of-a-feather sessions.

[Fwd: CFP- 1st Int. Workshop of the EU Network of Excellence DELOS on Digital Library Architectures]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP- 1st Int. Workshop of the EU Network of Excellence DELOS on Digital Library Architectures Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 12:50:07 +0200 From: Can Türker <tuerker(a)INF.ETHZ.CH> 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ Last CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------ Digital Library Architectures: Peer-to-Peer, Grid, and Service-Orientation First International Workshop of the EU Network of Excellence DELOS on Digital Library Architectures S. Margherita di Pula (Cagliari), Italy, 24-25 June, 2004 http://www.dbs.ethz.ch/delos ------------------------------------------------------------ DELOS is a new interdisciplinary EU FP6 Network of Excellence with a broad vision: Future digital libraries (DLs) should enable any citizen to access human knowledge any time and anywhere, in a friendly, multi-modal, efficient and effective way. The main objective of the DELOS network is thus to define and conduct a joint program of activities in order to integrate and coordinate the ongoing research activities of the research teams in the field of DLs for the purpose of developing the next generation digital library technologies. This first workshop is devoted to the architectural infrastructure of future DLs. The objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in the architecture and related basic services that allow to build and operate DLs and to identify ongoing research directions. Ideally the infrastructure combines concepts and techniques from the following fields * Peer-to-Peer Data Management * Grid Middleware * Service-oriented Architecture Peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures allow for loosely coupled integration of information services and sharing of information such as recommendations and annotations. Different aspects of peer-to-peer systems (e.g. indexes, and P2P application platforms) must be combined. Grid computing middleware is needed because certain services within digital libraries are complex and computationally intensive (e.g., extraction of features in multimedia documents to support content-based similarity search or for information mining in bio-medical data). The service-oriented architecture (SoA) provides mechanisms to describe the semantics and usage of information services. Moreover, in a SoA we have mechanisms to combine services into workflow processes for sophisticated search and maintenance of dependencies. It is obvious that elements of all three directions should be combined in a synthesis for future DLs architectures. Therefore, a main goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussing the development and integration of building blocks and services for DLs infrastructures from these and related areas. In the spirit of a workshop we ask for extended abstracts describing ongoing research and development. ------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract Submission ------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions in form of extended abstracts, not exceeding two pages based on Springer's LNCS style, should be sent in PDF to tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch before April 24, 2004. Accepted papers will be published in the DELOS workshop proceedings. ------------------------------------------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract Submission Deadline: April 24, 2004 Notification of Acceptance: May 10, 2004 Camera-Ready Full Version: June 14, 2004 This workshop is co-located with SEBD 2004 - the 12th Italian Symposium on Advanced Database Systems. ------------------------------------------------------------ Program Committee ------------------------------------------------------------ Maristella Agosti (University of Padua, Italy) Elisa Bertino (University of Milano, Italy) Donatelli Castelli (CNR-ISTI, Italy) Stavros Christodoulakis (Technical University of Chania, Greece) Wilhelm Hasselbring (OFFIS Oldenburg, Germany) Yannis Ioannidis (University of Athens, Greece) Martin Kersten (CWI Amsterdam, Netherlands) Liz Lyon (UKOLN Bath, United Kingdom) Erich Neuhold (FhG Darmstadt, Germany) Hans-Jörg Schek (ETH Zürich, Switzerland/UMIT Innsbruck, Austria) Heiko Schuldt (UMIT Innsbruck, Austria) Can Türker (ETH Zürich, Switzerland) Gerhard Weikum (MPI Saarbrücken, Germany) Pavel Zezula (Masaryk University Brno, Czech Republic) ------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Organization ------------------------------------------------------------ Maristella Agosti, Chair University of Padua Department of Information Engineering Via Gradenigo 6/a I-35131 Padova, Italy Email: maristella.agosti(a)unipd.it Hans-Jörg Schek, PC Chair ETH Zurich and UMIT Innsbruck Email hans.joerg.schek(a)umit.at Can Türker, Co-Chair ETH Zurich Email: tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Can Türker Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich Institute of Information Systems ETH Zentrum, IFW C47.2 CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland ----------------------------------------------------------- Tel: +41-1-63-27248 Fax: +41-1-63-21172 Email: tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch WWW: http://www.dbs.ethz.ch/~tuerker ----------------------------------------------------------- Informationen zum bislang einzigen Buch, das nicht nur die zentralen Sprachkonstrukte der aktuellen Norm SQL:2003 behandelt, sondern auch die wesentlichen Unterschiede zu den SQL-Dialekten von Oracle, DB2, Informix und Postgres aufzeigt, gibt es unter http://www.dpunkt.de/buch/sql.html. -----------------------------------------------------------
