-------- 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/>_. Authors should send an electronic version (in PDF or MS Word format) to Dr. Apostolis Salkintzis at_ salki(a)motorola.com_ according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: August 1, 2004 Acceptance Notification: November 1, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: January 15, 2005 Publication Date: 2^nd Quarter 2005 *Guest Editors* ** Dr. Apostolis K.

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

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. For further details, please refer to "Information for Authors" in IEEE Communications Magazine website at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html Schedule for Submissions Manuscript Submission: June 2004 Acceptance Notification: September 2004 Final Manuscript Due: October 2004 Publication: February 2005 Manuscript submission should be through IEEE Manuscript Central: http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/.

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. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Networked Technologies for Entertainment: - Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games - Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...) - Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for Entertainment - Media and Device Adaptation - Music and Movie Distribution - Next Generation Wireless Technologies for Entertainment (IEEE802.11n, UWB and Beyond) - Opportunistic Multi-hopping and Opportunistic Networks for Entertainment - QoS and Security Support for Entertainment - Resource and Service Discovery Technologies (P2P, LDAP, ...) - Technologies for Networked In-Home/Car/Flight/Train Entertainment - TV-Centric and Broadcast Networks for Entertainment Emerging Entertainment Applications: - Agent-based Entertainment - Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality - Evolutionary Entertainment - Field Trials - Interactive Television and Theater - Massive Multiplayer Games - Mobile and Wireless Entertainment - Networked Entertainment - Networked Narrative and Digital Interactive Storytelling - Networked Video, Music and Sound Design - Pervasive Entertainment - Personalized and User-Adapted Television - Sport, News and Entertainment - Virtual Technology and Virtual Environments for Entertainment - Wearable Entertainment - Wireless and Mobile Gaming - Testbed and Performance Evaluations Guidelines for Paper Submission: Original papers from the above mentioned topics or related areas will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process. The accepted papers will be published in the IEEE-sponsored workshop proceedings. Submission guidelines should be strictly followed. 1. Submit an electronic copy of the paper in a .pdf or .ps format through the EDAS paper submission site (hhtp://edas.info). 2. The body of the paper should not exceed 15 pages double spaced (4000 words, 12 point font) 3.

-------- 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
