[Fwd: [Tccc] Last CFP IEEE Network Magazine special issue on 'Ad hoc Networking: Data Communications & Topology Control']
by Lars Wolf 05 Nov '03

-------- 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 .

24 Oct '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Final Call for Papers Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 11:57:19 -0400 From: Ahmad, Aftab <aahmad(a)nsu.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> *International Journal of Communication Systems* /Special Issue on/ *_"QoS Support and Service Differentiation in Wireless Networks"_* /Tentative Publication Date: April 2004 Full paper//s s//ubmission deadline: //01 November 2003/ /Reviews due: /15 January 2004 Camera-ready copies due: 15 February 2004 Wireless access technology has created a new dimension for user access over the past few years. This has opened up a number of issues, one of which is QoS. The rapid adoption of wireless and IP based applications has created a strong driving force towards ubiquitous data services. A common understanding of the next generation of wireless systems that will offer such services is that they will involve multiple technologies and concepts that are still evolving. A major challenge in this heterogeneous environment is to provide proper QoS for mobile and stationary users using both customized and access agnostic applications and the need to analyze latency as a function of traffic profiles. The goal of this Special Issue is to collect high-quality scientific contributions discussing QoS strategies and tradeoffs at the Physical, Data Link, Network and Transport layers, for both already deployed as well as innovative/emerging wireless technologies. Papers reporting original, unpublished results on following topics are solicited: - Service differentiation and current enhancements in wireless LANs. - QoS management and capacity optimization in multi-access, multi-service networks. - Resource management for QoS-sensitive services. - Local versus end-to-end QoS provisioning, including QoS issues in mixed cellular/WLAN environment. - Software implementation and its robustness for QoS in wireless networks. - Performance models for multi-class wireless networks with emphasis on latency, throughput and goodput for various offered traffic profiles. - Architectures and Protocols for QoS provisioning in multi-access multi-service networks * * *Submission Instructions* Only electronic submissions are welcomed. Please submit the PDF copy of the paper to one of the Guest Editors via email. *Guest Editors (in alphabetic order)* Aftab Ahmad Bu Sung (Francis) Lee aftab(a)ieee.org <mailto:aftab@ieee.org> EBSLEE(a)ntu.edu.sg <mailto:EBSLEE@ntu.edu.sg> Computer Science Division of Computer Communications Norfolk State University, VA, USA School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Giuseppe Bianchi bianchi(a)elet.polimi.it <mailto:bianchi@elet.polimi.it> Yu-Dong Yao Electrical Engineering yyao(a)stevens-tech.edu <mailto:yyao@stevens-tech.edu> University of Palermo, Italy Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department Stevens Institute of Technology, USA Larry Berstein lbernstein(a)worldnet.att.net <mailto:lbernstein@worldnet.att.net> Computer Science Stevens Institute of Technology, USA Gabor Fodor Gabor.Fodor(a)era.ericsson.se <mailto:Gabor.Fodor@era.ericsson.se> Ericsson Research, Sweden Guy Pujolle Guy.Pujolle(a)lip6.fr <mailto:Guy.Pujolle@lip6.fr> Université Paris 6, France _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP on Applications and Services for the B3G/4G era Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 12:29:51 +0300 (EEST) From: zahariad(a)ellemedia.com To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies for multiple reception of this CFP. You may also go to: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/cfpwireless1004.pdf Best Regards, Theodore Zahariadis -------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Applications and Services for the B3G/4G era The path towards 4G networks incorporates a number of critical trends. Operators have already made huge investments in 2G, 2G+ and 3G technologies. Moreover, future wireless infrastructures will have to compete with multiple successfully deployed wired and wireless communications' systems. Thus, the 4G era has to provide really break-through technologies in order to persuade for its necessity. Innovations in air interface technology, enhancements in signalling and transport protocols, end-to-end QoS, worldwide seamless mobility of terminals and personal bubbles will lead to next generation wireless networks. Research on all these areas has been initiated, and it is expected to provide impressive results in a couple of years. Besides the system and network infrastructure advances, innovative steps are also required in the applications and services domain. Evolution towards 4G is expected to be similar to what happened to the Internet: from a limited application environment to an integral part of average person's life. Wireless services will shift from voice to packet data and users will become more accustomed to conducting wireless business and financial transactions. Many future wireless applications have already been considered. Mobile Internet, mobile multiparty videoconference, mobile office, mobile VPNs, mobile tele-presence, mobile e-commerce, etc. are among the foreseen future applications, but none has already convinced that it is the "killer" one. This special issue of IEEE Wireless Communications aims to describe the future service creation, execution and provisioning environments, frameworks and platforms, trends in the direction towards new added value applications and services, applications and services that will enable new business models and new ways of working anywhere, anytime and in any context, and share this vision with the magazines' audience. In more details, this special issue seeks unpublished papers in that tackle the following areas: · Applications and services for mobile users and professionals · Interoperable mobile/ wireless technologies and convergence of fixed and mobile communication infrastructures. · Open, context and location aware middleware for heterogeneous mobile networks · Service creation environments for B3G/4G mobile/wireless systems · Innovative, adaptive and self-configuring mobile and wireless applications · Adaptive, polymorphic and reconfigurable systems for mobile environments · Applications for mobile PANs · End-to-end QoS issues for heterogeneous mobile networks · Security and privacy of mobile/wireless systems · Power management and control algorithms Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts as a Postscript or PDF email attachment to Dr. Theodore Zahariadis, highlighting the reference author of the paper. Detailed instructions to authors can be found in: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/index.html Schedule: Paper submission deadline: February 2, 2004 Notification of acceptance: May 30, 2004 Final papers: July 30, 2004 Special issue: October 2004 Guest Editors: Theodore Zahariadis, Ellemedia Technologies, Greece (zahariad(a)ellemedia.com) Bharat Doshi, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Labs, USA(bharat.doshi(a)jhuapl.edu) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
