Anbei das CfP für den Workshop "Mobile Computing und Medienkommunikation im Internet 2004". Mit freundlichen Grüssen Hilko Hofmann, Admin MCMI'04 ############################################################### MCMI'04 Mobile Computing und Medienkommunikation im Internet 2004 Web: http://www.comtec.e-technik.uni-kassel.de/GI-WorkshopMCMI04 Call for Paper: http://www.comtec.e-technik.uni-kassel.de/content/conference/MCMI04/CfP_MCM… ############################################################### Motivation und allgemeine Zielsetzung des Workshops Die zunehmende Bedeutung der Echtzeitkommunikation in IP-basierten Netzen ist unbestritten. Die Wachstumszahlen bei Mobilnetzen sind beeindruckend. Die Grenzen zwischen dem Internet und den Mobilnetzen verschwimmen zusehends, denn das drahtlose Internet bekommt mehr und mehr Bedeutung im täglichen Umgang mit und im globalen Zugriff auf Daten, Informationen und Ressourcen. Sowohl bei Echtzeit als auch bei Mobilnetzen existiert indes noch erheblicher Forschungsbedarf im Zusammenhang mit IP-basierten Netzen. Der drahtlose Internetzugang erlaubt nicht nur eine höhere Mobilität der Netzbenutzer sondern darüber hinaus die Einbeziehung von ortsbezogenen und anderen Kontextinformationen in die Auswertung und Generierung von Internetanfragen. Damit sind neue Applikationen denkbar, die sowohl mehr Benutzerkomfort als auch höhere Informationsdichte bieten. Die Thematik des Workshops ist sowohl von beträchtlichem industriellem als auch von akademischem Interesse und lässt Spielraum sowohl für praxisorientierte als auch für grundlagenorientierte, stärker theoretische Beiträge. Das Spektrum der durch den Workshop abgedeckten Forschungsthemen soll von Basisdiensten für Mobil und Multimediakommunikation über dedizierte Middleware bis hin zu innovativen Anwendungen für das "Mobile Internet" reichen. Der Workshop soll im übrigen auch dazu genutzt werden, die wichtigsten Resultate von Projekten im Rahmen der BMBF-Initiative "Drahtloses Internet" zu präsentieren sowie Ideen für zukünftige Projekte bei der geplanten Anschlussförderung zu diskutieren. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Ing.

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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley ETT special issue Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 18:10:19 +0200 (CEST) From: Christian Bettstetter <Christian.Bettstetter(a)ei.tum.de> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers European Transactions on Telecommunications (Wiley) *Special Issue on Self-Organization in Mobile Networking* http://kom.aau.dk/~ff/documents/cfp-ett-so.html http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jhome/104087069 Current systems for mobile communication, such as GSM, UMTS, and IEEE 802.11, require manual configuration and central management both for deployment and operation. Such a paradigm will not be feasible any longer in a future world of ubiquitous networking, where wireless technologies will interconnect a tremendous number of everyday items and embedded devices (e.g., electronic papers, sensors). An important design aspect for future systems is to limit the administrative requirements, thus reducing the network deployment time, cutting the operational costs, and facilitating network management. In this context, the term "self-organizing communication networks" has been in the mind of researchers for some decades. During the last few years, the term has mainly been used to describe the nature of wireless multihop networks, so-called ad hoc networks. Although ad hoc networks are expected to play an important role in future systems, self-organization is more than "just" multihop communication. We invite original technical articles on self-organization in cellular, IP, ad hoc, and sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Principles, paradigms, and building blocks for self-organization in mobile networks - Application of concepts for self-organization from natural and social sciences - Protocols and algorithms for self-organization of mobile networks, in particular for medium access control, resource management (radio, energy), clustering, routing, transport, and service discovery - Mobility and topology issues - Scalability issues - Applications, services, and middleware - Security, cooperation, and fairness Submission Instructions: Papers should have a length of no more than 15 pages (using 11 point font and about 35 lines per page). Please submit the paper electronically in PDF using the EDAS platform (http://edas.info). All submitted papers must not have been previously published and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere while they are under consideration. The following deadlines will apply: - Submission of manuscripts August 31, 2004 - Notification of acceptance October 30, 2004 - Submission of final manuscript December 15, 2004 - Publication March/April 2005 (Issue No. 2) Guest Editors - Christian Bettstetter, DoCoMo Euro-Labs, Germany - Frank Fitzek, Aalborg Univ., Denmark - Hannes Hartenstein, University of Karlsruhe, Germany - Guy Pujolle, University Paris VI, France - Paolo Santi, CNR, IIT, Pisa, Italy Note: Papers for which a major revision is recommended will not be accepted for the special issue, but will be considered for publication in revised form in one of the regular issues of ETT. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

We solicit submissions that concentrate primarily on applications, systems, and environments. Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. WMCSA's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We are particularly interested in the following topic areas: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile and pervasive computing * Novel applications and environments for mobile and pervasive computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of devices and applications * Security and privacy in mobile and pervasive systems * Management, ease of use, availability and complexity in mobile and pervasive systems * Other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility and pervasive computing Papers should be 10 US letter pages or less, and should describe either completed or ongoing work (please see the web site for details on paper submission). The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE, and we hope to publish a digest of the workshop in a relevant journal. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. To encourage an interactive atmosphere, attendance will be limited to approximately 70 attendees. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first preference, with others able to register on a space-available basis. A small number of graduate students will be granted a waiver of the registration fee. Waiver proposal submission instructions will be posted when available on the web site. Demos: To further stimulate discussion, we welcome researchers who would like to demonstrate working prototypes of their systems. Instructions for submitting demo proposals will be posted when available on the web site. Important Dates: Hard Submission Deadline: 15 June 2004 (no exceptions!)

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.

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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 09:19:19 +0200 From: Salkintzis Apostolis-Y1026C <salki(a)motorola.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu > Dear all, > > Please find attached the 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. M oreover, 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/>.
