-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers - PERVASIVE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT - EDBT-Workshop 2004 Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 10:51:44 +0100 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------ PERVASIVE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT International Workshop held in conjunction with EDBT 2004 March 18, 2004, Heraklion - Crete, Greece http://www.dbs.ethz.ch/~tuerker/edbtpim/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Wireless connectivity along with increasingly small and powerful mobile devices and sensors enables a wide range of new applications that will radically change the way information is managed and processed today. Information becomes ubiquitous, highly distributed and at the same time accessible from everywhere at any time. Information access takes place in highly dynamic and instable networks. Nevertheless, users and application developers will expect information processing to continue under similar guarantees as those offered by today's stationary and more or less centralized systems, even if some nodes of the pervasive information network are (temporarily) disconnected and/or are in motion. Examples for these guarantees are the ones given by database management systems, e.g., consistency and durability of data. Additional challenges stem from the fact that mobile devices, in particular embedded devices and sensors, are less powerful than their stationary counterparts; they are smaller (resulting, e.g., in smaller in- and output devices and less available storage), have restricted energy supplies and communicate via expensive and unreliable wireless communication media. This workshop aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing ideas, challenges, and opportunities for data management and data access technology in pervasive information systems. New and existing concepts and techniques shall be considered in the light of the rapidly increasing mobility of users and the great advances in system infrastructures, mobile devices, and sensor technologies. Research papers presenting theoretical results, perspective solutions, and practical developments are welcome. Position papers are also welcome and encouraged. TOPICS - Modelling location and mobility semantics - Infrastructure support for mobility - Mobility awareness and adaptability - Location-dependent, context-based querying - Designing location-aware, context-aware services - Discovery and composition of ubiquitous services - Tracking moving objects and mobile users - Mobile sensor and stream data management - Continuous querying and data stream processing - Mobile data dissemination and delivery - Mobile data replication and synchronization - Self-organizing, self-tuning components - Information usage in ad-hoc networks - Pervasive transactional / workflow processing - Quality of service for pervasive computing systems - Mobile access and advanced user interfaces - Security and privacy in ubiquitous systems PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted papers must be unpublished and not exceed 12 pages strictly following Springer's LNCS style. LNCS formatting guidelines and templates can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Authors shall submit their papers electronically to tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch before January 9, 2004. PDF format is preferred, but postscript format is also acceptable. Accepted papers will be published in the informal workshop proceedings. Selected papers will appear in the post-proceedings, which most probably will be published in the LNCS series of Springer.

August, 2004 GENERAL INFORMATION With more and more devices getting smart and interconnected, ad hoc and sensor networks will open up a realm of new communication and data exchange opportunities. These upcoming networks are characterized by their dynamic structure, lack of a pre-established fixed infrastructure, and constrained resources. In order to allow their successful deployment, various security challenges must be met. Examples include missing `a priori' security associations, no clear line of defense, the lack of a trusted infrastructure, complex multiple domain relationships, as well as bandwidth, computing, memory, and energy constraints. Due to the pervasive nature of applications relying on ad-hoc and sensor networks effective provisions for robust security solutions in a reliable and power efficient way must be taken. This workshop seeks submissions presenting novel research on all aspects of security and cryptography for ad-hoc and sensor networks. ESAS 2004 will be a workshop where the cryptography, security and wireless networking communities meet. Submission of papers based on work- in-progress is encouraged. The topics include but are not limited to: * Cryptographic protocols * Trust establishment, negotiation, and management * Security in constrained environments * Cooperation and fairness based protocols * Key management * Scalability evaluation of secure and reliable protocols * Secure routing * Secure hardware modules * Implementations of secure protocols * Deployment of secure protocols * Privacy and anonymity * Secure MAC protocols INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred submission form is by electronic mail to Claude.Castelluccia(a)inrialpes.fr. The submissions must not exceed 10 pages (excluding the title page, bibliography and appendices),nor 12 pages overall. The final version should not exceed 15 pages. Please submit the paper in Postscript or PDF, together with an extra file containing the email and physical address of the authors, an indication of the corresponding author, and a copy of the title, key words and abstract.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP IEEE Network Magazine special issue on 'Ad hoc Networking: Data Communications & Topology Control' Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 12:22:18 +0100 From: David Simplot <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> Organization: IRCICA/LIFL, Univ. Lille 1 To: <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: arp(a)cines.fr, com-info(a)lifl.fr, alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr, tarot(a)hds.utc.fr Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ================================================================== *LAST* Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on 'AD HOC NETWORKING: DATA COMMUNICATIONS & TOPOLOGY CONTROL' http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/download/net-adhoc-cfp-final.pdf IEEE Network seeks articles for a special issue on Ad Hoc Networking: Data Communications and Topology Control, to appear in July 2004. The guest editors for this special issue are David Simplot-Ryl, University of Lille, France, and Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada. Purpose Wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks (network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure), such as cellular and satellite systems. Ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Particular ad hoc network systems include packet radio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftop networks, and wireless local area networks. Even multi-hop cellular networks may be a viable option when a huge number of cellular phones are concentrated on a small area such as stadium. This special issue will cover comprehensively the network layer in ad hoc networks, which deals with data communication and topology control problems. Data communication problems include routing, broadcasting, multicasting, geocasting, clustering, area monitoring, data and service access. Topology control problems include neighbor discovery, topology construction and maintenance, activity scheduling, position discovery, partition detection, location updates, and network management. The new approaches to ad hoc networks design emphasize cross-layering approach, and therefore the relevant issues arising from network layer problems will also be covered, such as power management, security, quality of service, performance evaluation, data link and transport layers. The goal of the special issue is to publish original research and review articles which should be comprehensive to all readers, regardless of their specialty. Manuscript submission Send papers as PDF file to both co-guest editors simplot(a)lifl.fr and ivan(a)site.uottawa.ca. It is recommended that submissions be limited to 4500 words, with the number of references limited to 10. Guidelines for authors can be found on the IEEE Network magazine Website at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html .

The conference particularly values the practical experience gained from designing, building and using mobile systems, applications, and services. TOPICS The conference addresses broad systems issues in mobile computing. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile systems * Middleware and service architectures for mobile applications * Data management for mobile applications * Disconnected and weakly connected operation * Proxies and data adaptation * Mobile agents * Operating systems for small devices * Infrastructure support for mobility * Security, privacy, authorization, and billing * System-level energy management for mobile devices * Wearable and handheld devices in the context of system design * Personal mobility * Personal-area networks and systems * Resource discovery of mobile services * Systems for location awareness and determination * Application interfaces and services supporting the mobile user * Systems support for mobile robots * Experience with mobile systems The ideal MobiSys submission should present novel research that has resulted in the implementation or evaluation of running systems. Papers that describe the design of and experience with mobile system architectures are favored over those narrowly focused on low-level components such as the device hardware or the routing, link, or physical network layers. Please feel free to contact the Program Chairs at mobisys_pcchairs(a)acm.org to determine appropriateness. An award will be given at the conference for the best paper. WHAT TO SUBMIT Submissions should be full papers, 12?14 single-spaced 8.5" × 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Accepted papers may be shepherded through an editorial review process by a member of the program committee. MobiSys, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or publication, that submissions must not be previously published, and that accepted papers must not be subsequently published elsewhere. Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. All submissions will be held in the highest confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a matter of policy and in accord with the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976. HOW TO SUBMIT Authors are required to submit a title and abstract on October 31, 2003 (by midnight PST). Full papers are due November 7, 2003 (midnight PST).
