The symposium features six single-track sessions of oral paper presentations and two poster sessions, including state-of-the-art research results in all aspects of sensor networks, such as distributed and collaborative signal processing, network protocols for sensor networks, coding, compression, and information theory, distributed query processing, detection, classification, estimation, and tracking, network coverage, connectivity, and longevity, sensor tasking and control, embedded architectures and tools, in-network processing and aggregation, data storage in sensor networks, location and time services, energy and resource management, distributed inference and fusion, programming models and languages, real-time scheduling, security and fault tolerance, simulation tools and environments, networked sensing and control, and applications of sensor networks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conference Registration ======================= Conference registration is available online at http://ipsn04.cs.uiuc.edu There are three different registration time periods. Early registration ends on March 26, 2004. Advance registration ends on April 16, 2004. After April 16, only on-site registration will be possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Objectives and Scope ==================== Following the success of the first two Workshops (www.parc.com/events/ipsn03), the 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent work in this emerging field. Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), critical infrastructure protection (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and situational awareness for battlefield applications. Information processing in sensor networks draws upon many disciplines including signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Technical Program ================= The complete technical program can be found at http://ispn04.cs.uiuc.edu/agenda.html Monday, April 26, 2004 * 08:00-08:30 /Welcome and Introduction Conference Co-chairs: Kannan Ramchandran and Janos Sztipanovits Technical Co-chairs: Jennifer C.

The realization of sensor networks requires intensive technical research and development efforts especially in power aware scalable wireless ad hoc communications protocols due to their unusual application requirements and constraints. On the other hand, a solid theoretical background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is an algorithmic challenge to achieve efficient and robust realizations of such large, highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networking environments. Features including the huge number of sensor devices involved, the severe power, computational and memory limitations, their dense deployment and frequent failures, pose new design, analysis and implementation challenges. This workshop is intended to provide a forum for researchers and practicioners to present their contributions related to all aspects of sensor networks. TOPICS Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including but not limited to: * Modeling of specific sensor networks * Methods for ad hoc deployment * Algorithms for sensor localization and tracking of mobile users * Dynamic sensor networks * Hierarchical clustering architectures * Attribute-based named nets * Routing: implosion issues and resource management * Communication protocols * Media acess control in sensor networks * Simulators for sensor networks * Sensor architecture * Energy issues WORKSHOP and PC CHAIRS Sotiris Nikoletseas, U. of Patras and CTI Jose Rolim, U. of Geneva PROGRAM COMMITTEE Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology Azzedine Boukerche, U. of Ottawa Deborah Estrin, UCLA Afonso Ferreira, CNRS, I3S & Inria Sophia Antipolis Alfredo Ferro, U. of Catania Wendi Heinzelman, U. of Rochester Chalermek Intanagonwiwat, Chulalongkorn U., Thailand Elias Koutsoupias, U. of Athens Bhaskar Krishnamachari, U. of Southern California Stefano Leonardi, U. of Rome "La Sapienza" Sotiris Nikoletseas (Co-Chair), U. of Patras and CTI Viktor Prasanna, U. of Southern California Jose Rolim (Co-Chair), U. of Geneva Peter Sanders, Max Planck Institute for CS Maria Serna, T.U. of Catalonia Christian Schindelhauer, U. of Paderborn Paul Spirakis, U. of Patras and CTI Peter Triantafilloy, U. of Patras Eli Upfal, Brown U.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: SIG MM Retreat Report; Multimedia 2004 Deadlines and Video/Art Programs Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2004 16:17:47 -0500 From: Vernick, Michael David (Michael) <vernick(a)AVAYA.COM> Reply-To: Vernick, Michael David (Michael) <vernick(a)AVAYA.COM> To: SIGMM-MEMBERS(a)ACM.ORG Greetings from the ACM Multimedia committee. Included in this email are the following: * ACM SIG Multimedia Strategic Retreat Comprehensive Report * Multimedia 2004 Conference - Submission deadlines - Call for Video Submissions - New Conference Addition: Interactive Art Program See the web site for more information: http://www.mm2004.org --------------------------- ACM SIG Multimedia Strategic Retreat Comprehensive Report The ACM Special Interest Group on Multimedia (SIGMM) was created ten years ago. Since that time, researchers have solved a number of important problems related to media processing, multimedia databases, and distributed multimedia applications. Discussions at the annual SIGMM conference ACM Multimedia 2001 (MM'01) in Ottawa, Canada suggested it was time for senior members of the research community to meet and discuss the future of multimedia research. Some members of the community believed that multimedia research was addressing narrow topics with limited impact rather than addressing major problems that will have wider impact on technology for real and emerging applications. A strategic retreat was organized as part of MM'03 to assess the current state of multimedia research and suggest directions for future research. Twenty-six researchers from academia and industry participated in the two day retreat organized by Professors Lawrence A. Rowe and Ramesh Jain who are the past and current SIGMM Chairs. The executive summary of the retreat can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigmm/main/events/sigmm_retreat/ The final retreat report on Future Directions of Multimedia Research can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigmm/ --------------------------- SUBMISSION DEADLINES FOR MULTIMEDIA 2004 April 5, 2004 - Interactive art program submission deadline April 15, 2004 - Full papers submission deadline at 5 pm EDT April 30, 2004 - Panels submission deadline May 3, 2004 - Exhibition submission deadline June 1, 2004 - Tutorials, short papers, open software, video program, interactive art program, short papers, technical demonstrations, doctoral symposium submission deadline Notification of acceptance for Panels July 1, 2004 - Notification of acceptance for full papers July 7, 2004 - Notification of acceptance for exhibition and short papers --------------------------- Multimedia 2004: CALL FOR PAPERS: INTERACTIVE ART PROGRAM and EXHIBITION Interactive Art Program: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4interactiveartprogram.htm Exhibition: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4artexhibit.htm This year's new Interactive Art Program will bring together the arts and multimedia communities to create the stage to explore, discuss, and push the limits for the advancement of both multimedia technology through the arts, and the arts through multimedia technology. The Interactive Art Program will consist of two technical tracks and an exhibition. We invite RESEARCHERS in technical areas and ARTISTS working with digital media to submit their original contributions to the following tracks: (1) TOOLS FOR CREATING MULTIMEDIA ART: performance, immersive, narrative, multi-modal, networked art, etc. The emphasis is on novel technical tools developed specifically for the creation of multimedia art in any form. We particularly encourage submission of tools in new and emerging areas. (2) TOOLS DEVELOPED BY ARTISTS IN THE CREATION OF MULTIMEDIA ARTWORKS: will describe the process and technical details of the creation of artistic works that have required either the development of new multimedia tools, or novel uses of currently available multimedia tools. Artists that develop their own tools are strongly encouraged to submit their work to this track. (3) MULTIMEDIA ART EXHIBITION: "Digital Boundaries: Multiculturalism, Identity, and Awareness". We seek art works that, using multimedia, explore issues of cultural identity, cultural awareness, and the boundaries created or enforced through the use of multimedia technology. The emphasis for the exhibition is on interactive art works that realize powerful artistic concepts using multimedia content and technologies (exhibition statement at the end of this message). Awards will be given to submissions in all three tracks, placing particular emphasis on the most innovative use of multimedia technology. The conference and exhibition will be held at Columbia University in New York City. IMPORTANT DATES April 5, 2004 Full papers deadline. May 3, 2004 Exhibition submission deadline. June 1, 2004 Short papers submission deadline July 1, 2004 Notification of acceptance for full papers. July 20, 2004 Camera-ready papers due More information at: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4interactiveartprogram.htm -------------------------- Multimedia 2004: CALL FOR VIDEO SUBMISSIONS We'd like to encourage you to make a video for ACM Multimedia 2004. Video is a great way to present work that is best understood by example. Video also makes it possible to demonstrate your tool, system, application or brave new idea without having to bring the equipment for a "live" demo. Even if you've never made a video before, please consider this new opportunity for Video Submissions at ACM Multimedia 2004. VIDEO SUBMISSIONS CATEGORIES There are three categories of video submissions: * Video figures (3 minutes) - accompanies a regular or short paper submission and serves as an illustration * Video demonstrations (8 minutes) - gives a self-explanatory demo of a tool, system, or application. In addition we would like to encourage media artists to submit work that exemplifies new trends in video art or describes an interactive multimedia art application. * Video vision (8 minutes) - describes a new brave idea of multimedia technology Videos in the categories demonstration and vision need to be accompanied with a 2 page description of the video content using the ACM template. The descriptions of the selected videos will become part of the conference proceedings. Videos will be published on a dedicated web site either in the ACM Digital Library or at the SIGMM website. Accepted videos will be presented in the video session during the conference. The best video demonstration and video vision will get a special podium. The format for videos is MPEG-2, although we will accept VHS submissions. More information on video submissions can be found on the ACM Multimedia 2004 Web page http://www.mm2004.org/ IMPORTANT DATES June 1st, 2004 Submission deadline July 1st, 2004 Notification of acceptance July 20th, 2004 Camera Ready Copy of Video Description August 20th, 2004 Video Final Version Questions? Send e-mail to: mailto:Frank.Nack@cwi.nl More information at: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4video.htm ------------------------ *NOTE* - Colleagues can subscribe by sending a message with 'SUBSCRIBE' in the subject line to acmsigmm(a)fastmail.fm. ------------------------

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Wiley WCMC - Special issue on "WLAN/3G Integration for Next-Generation Heterogeneous Mobile Data Networks" Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 12:20:20 +0200 From: Nikos Passas <passas(a)di.uoa.gr> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Wiley's Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Journal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Call for Papers for a Special Issue on "WLAN/3G Integration for Next-Generation Heterogeneous Mobile Data Networks" http://www.di.uoa.gr/~passas/WLAN-3G-CFP.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The recent evolution and successful deployment of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) has yield a demand to integrate WLANs with third-generation (3G) cellular networks, such as GSM/GPRS, UMTS, cdma2000, etc. The key goal of this integration is to develop heterogeneous mobile data networks, capable to support ubiquitous data services with very high data rates in strategic locations. The effort to develop such heterogeneous networks is linked with many technical challenges including seamless vertical handovers across WLAN and 3G radio technologies, security, 3G-based authentication, unified accounting & billing, WLAN sharing (by several 3G networks), consistent QoS and service provisioning, etc. The need to address these issues and provide timely, solid technical contributions in the area of WLAN/3G integration establishes the motivation behind this special issue proposal. In response to the above demand for integrated WLAN/3G mobile data networks, the proposed special issue aims at providing a timely and concise reference of the current activities and findings in the relevant technical fields. The primary goal is to address the key technical issues pertaining to WLAN/3G integration and present novel technical contributions. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): - 3G-based authentication - Security issues - Access to 3G-based services (e.g. WAP, MMS) from WLANs - Access to 3G multimedia services from WLANs - Seamless session handover between WLAN and 3G - WLAN information advertisement - WLAN sharing / 3G network selection - Consistent QoS across WLAN and 3G - 3G-based online/offline billing - 3G voice services over WLANs - Interworking architectures and scenarios - Value added services with WLAN-3G integration - Performance evaluation studies - Standardization activities - Extension of location services to WLANs.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Four SIGCOMM 2004 Workshops CALL FOR PAPERS]
by Lars Wolf 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Four SIGCOMM 2004 Workshops CALL FOR PAPERS Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 13:23:38 -0600 From: Chris Edmondson-Yurkanan <chris(a)cs.utexas.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS This year, SIGCOMM continues its expanded scope with significant emphasis on workshops. We solicit papers and participation in the following four one-day workshops. 1. Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture (FDNA-04) 2. Workshop on Practice and Theory of Incentives and Game Theory in Networked Systems (PINS) 3. Network Troubleshooting: Research, Theory and Operations Practice Meet Malfunctioning Reality 4. NetGames-04 These workshops will be held with SIGCOMM'04 to be held from August 30 - September 3, 2004 in Portland, Oregon, US. For a detailed description of the workshops and submission guidelines, visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2004/workshops.html (And look for a Workshop flyer at Infocom 2004.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Future Directions in Network Architecture (FDNA-04) Paper submission deadline: April 30, 2004. The architecture of a network specifies the essential principles that guide its design, especially its service and control interfaces, its partitioning into functional components, the interaction amongst these functional components, and the engineering of its protocols and algorithms. Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. The current Internet architecture has scaled beyond the wildest dreams of its designers. However, it has a number of significant problems when employed to fulfill service requirements or when applied to some classes of networks for which it was not originally designed. In recent years, several attempts have been made to work around these problems. These range from simple address partitioning (NAT), various proposed changes to the routing and naming infrastructure (ad-hoc, name-based routing, store-and-forward, overlay networks, capabilities for enhanced security, etc) to the use of alternative network architectures such as those proposed for mass-scale sensor networks, networks of mobile wireless devices, and high-delay inter-planetary networks. This call solicits papers on two broad topics: (a) Architectural limitations of the current Internet and techniques to overcome these limitations; and (b) Descriptions of and innovative architectures for new classes of networks. Submissions ranging from presentations of specific research to more general, philosophical position papers are welcome. Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Practice and Theory of Incentives and Game Theory in Networked Systems (PINS) Paper submission deadline: April 19, 2004 Traditional system design assumes that all participants behave according to the intentions of the system architects. In reality, computer networks are heterogeneous, dynamic and distributed environments managed by multiple administrative authorities and shared by users with different and competing interests. Recently, there has been growing interest in using tools from Game Theory (GT) and Mechanism Design (MD) to tackle incentive-related problems in these complex environments. For these methods to be successful in practical networked systems, it is vital to understand and incorporate realistic models and constraints for such central system properties as player types and strategies, scalability, asynchronicity, observability, verification, and frequency & time scale of interactions. The goal of this workshop is to promote an exchange of ideas on the true applicability, range and validity of game-theoretic and economic models for analysis and design of Internet and Internet-based systems. The workshop solicits technical or position papers of two types: (1) Incentives in Practice: Papers that focus on practicality and realistic applications of Game Theory to networked systems; and (2) Models & theoretical results for networked systems: Papers that assess the applicability of specific models and/or results in Game theory and Mechanism Design to distributed and networked systems, or outline new approaches to analyzing these problems. Submissions should be no more than 8 pages in length with 10pt fonts or larger. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Network Troubleshooting: Research, Theory and Operations Practice Meet Malfunctioning Reality Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2004 Network monitoring and measurement has received a great deal of attention in the research community recently. This workshop endeavors to focus on finding problems, failures and anomalies in networks. The workshop seeks papers exploring several themes: (1) Detection: Mechanisms and techniques for detecting failures, imminent failures and other anomalies in real time. (2) Correction: While detecting problems (or imminent problems) and alerting network operators is a good first step, techniques for automatically mitigating problems as they occur are also sought. (3) Coordination: Detecting and solving problems in a multi-provider environment inevitably involves communicating between distinct autonomous entities. Mechanisms and facilities to streamline and automate such communication are sought. (4) Experience: Insight from network operators into network problems they cannot easily detect (or, detect far too late) and tools that would make network management much easier. Input from network operators on non-obvious or non-technical considerations which impact technical solutions are also sought. This workshop invites two kinds of submissions: (1) Original papers on any area of network measurement, monitoring or management specifically directed towards one or more of the above themes. (2) Poster presentation proposals. While posters on any of the above themes will be accepted, posters on operational experience are highly sought. Submissions ranging from presentations of specific research to position papers are welcome. Papers presenting interesting and novel ideas at an early stage of development are preferred over completed journal-style results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, with impact and implications for both operational networks and ongoing or future research. Original papers should be 3-6 standard SIGCOMM formatted pages (with the expectation that position papers will be shorter and research papers longer). Poster proposals should be sent in the form of 1-page abstracts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NetGames'04 Submission deadline: April 16, 2004 The NetGames workshop is an attempt to bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry to present new research in understanding networked gaming systems. Submissions are sought in any area related to networked games. The areas of interest include (but are not limited to) game-specific research in: Network measurement and modeling; system benchmarking and provisioning; latency issues and lag compensation techniques; cheat detection and prevention; service platforms, architectures, and middleware; protocol design; mobile and resource-constrained gaming; augmented physical gaming systems; user and usability studies; quality of service and content adaptation; security, authentication, and accounting. We solicit submissions of full papers (12 pages) and short papers (6 page) (single-spaced, double column, 11pt font). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Chris Edmondson-Yurkanan TAY 4.136; +1 512 471 9546 Fax: 471 8885 The University of Texas at Austin Email addresses are: chris(a)cs.utexas.edu Computer Sciences Department or for fun: dragon(a)cs.utexas.edu 1 University Station C0500 URL: www.cs.utexas.edu/users/chris/ Austin, TX 78712-0233 Fedex: please send to Taylor Hall 2.124 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
