-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] SpecialIssueCFP-Generalized-Ad-Hoc-Networks-and-QoS Date: Mon, 5 May 2003 13:49:07 -0700 From: erdal@itu <cayirci(a)cs.itu.edu.tr> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: <tcgn(a)ieee.org> Call for Papers Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Special Issue on: Generalized Ad Hoc Networks (GAHN) and Quality of Service (QoS) Data networks increasingly offer users a wide variety of networking modalities, both wired and wireless, allowing user traffic to be routed over many alternate paths, at different costs, with different levels of QoS, reliability, robustness and power consumption. We will call such systems "Generalized Ad Hoc Networks" (GAHN), and the concept includes conventional wireless ad hoc networks. By the term "user" we do not "just" mean the end user: we include a variety of economic agents, such as ISPs, who derive benefit from the data being carried, and we also include all the other lower level agents including common carriers. However, the actual paths, costs, and QoS outcomes received by these users remain generally opaque to the most of them, and appear at a "per connection" result for the end user, and at aggregate economic levels for many other actors. QoS itself should be understood broadly, including concerns about reliability and robustness, power utilization, pricing and economics and obviously also conventional QoS metrics. This special issue seeks visionary and forward looking papers based on sound technical arguments, experimental designs, measurements, or theoretical analysis, which address QoS in GAHN. Of course, technical contributions relating QoS to conventional wireless ad hoc networks are also welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to: - QoS and routing in AHN and GAHN - Power aware routing - Combining routing and priority schemes in AHN - Composite and multicriterion QoS metrics - Using concepts from eceonomics and game theory in GAHN - Mixed wired and wireless AHN design - Security in GAHN and AHN - Experimental systems and test-beds Papers not to exceed 25 pages should be submitted electronically in the form of a postscript file, before September 1 2003, to Prof. Erol Gelenbe at erol(a)cs.ucf.edu <mailto:erol@cs.ucf.edu> -- The time-table for this special issue will be as follows: Submission Deadline: September 1, 2003 Decision Notification: Dec. 15, 2003 Publication Date: Second Quarter of 2004 Erol Gelenbe erol(a)cs.ucf.edu <mailto:erol@cs.ucf.edu> Tel: 407 823 0345 Fax: 407 823 5419

We think you and your colleagues may want to contribute to this special issue. Best Regards, Michael Fang, University of Florida Phone Lin, National Taiwan Univ. Jason Lin, National Chiao Tung Univ. %%%%%% CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mobility and Resource Management IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Manuscript submission date: October 1, 2003 Acceptance notification: January 15, 2004 Final manuscript due: March 15, 2004 Publication date: June 15, 2004 Theme With the rapidly growing demand for "anywhere, anytime" high-speed Internet access, many advanced radio and network technologies have already been developed. Integration of these different technologies will be an essential trend in the near future. In such a heterogeneous environment, the "mobility and resource management" issue becomes very critical, particularly for the QoS support with various kinds of services. Not only user mobility and resource provisioning within a single network should be considered, but also seamless cross network services and interactions should be provided. Many issues need to be addressed for mobility and resource management in heterogeneous wireless networks, including the integration of the mobility protocols adopted in different network; the impacts of user mobility on and the integration with network resource management and power consumption of handheld devices; support of IP protocols on mobile computing systems for seamless tier mobility. Furthermore, security and privacy need to be addressed for roaming users from network to network. Modeling technologies and performance analysis are needed to address new types of mobility and resource management in heterogeneous networks. Topics of Interest This special issue is targeted at the above issues related to mobility and resource management. Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers to this special issue. Topics include, but are not limited to: (a) Mobility and resource management schemes for future telecommunications systems (including UMTS, cdma-2000, and TD-SCDMA) (b) Impact of mobility on and integration with resource management (c) Impact of mobility on power consumption and strategy for energy conservation (d) Mobile IP and SIP mobility (e) Security and privacy Issues in mobility management (f) Mobility and resource aware applications (g) Analytical modeling and performance analysis Submission Instruction All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html.

Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated. While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emula-tion, testbed experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or adjustment between results obtained by different methods. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for net-work research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: - Reproducibility of experimental network research - Investigation of scaling effects - Common code basis for simulation and implementation - Mathematical methods for error assessment - Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes - Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments - Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations - Benchmarking and measurement techniques - Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of tools - Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop will be published. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT The workshop solicits the following types of submissions: 1) Full papers, 2) Position papers on potentially controversial or provocative topics, and 3) Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical session consisting of short presentations combined with live demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to submit an online video clip in addition to a papers. Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are also highly welcome. Papers should not be anonymized. See the submission webpage http://www.pfhsn.org/mometools/ for full submission requirements. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de.

School of Informatics, University of Bradford (U.K.); Monday 21st - Wednesday 23rd July, 2003 Craiglands Hotel*, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, U.K. (* The Craiglands is a delightful Victorian country hotel on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and near the famed Ilkley Moor.) Over recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the performance modelling, evaluation and convergence of multi-service networks of diverse technology, such as IP, ATM, MPLS, D-WDM, IPO, WLL, xDSL, Metro-WDM, Gigabit Ethernet, WLAN, Ad-hoc as well as GSM, GPRS, 3G UMTS mobile systems and all-optical networks. However, many interesting and important traffic engineering, technological and performance issues need to be addressed and resolved before a global and wide-scale integrated broadband network infrastructure can be established for the efficient support of multimedia applications. Of crucial importance is the design and dimensioning of the next generation Internet with quality of service (QoS) guarantees including the creation of generic evaluation platforms capable of measuring the performance of heterogeneous networks, services inter- operability and applications. Moreover, robust quantitative methodologies are needed, such as those based on novel queueing network models, neural networks and stochastic Petri nets, leading to both credible and cost-effective approximations and algorithms for the performance prediction of heterogeneous networks. These powerful and realistic tools applied to the analysis of other types of discrete flow systems, such as computer systems, transportation networks and flexible manufacturing systems, may also be, by analogy, of relevance. The aim of the First International Working Conference on Heterogeneous Networks (HET-NET '03) is to contribute to fundamental research in networks of diverse technology and internetworking issues and focus on their performance/reliability modelling and analysis. The event is staged under the auspices of the proposed EU Network of Excellence (NoE) Euro-NGi for the design and dimensioning of the 3G Internet and beyond in collaboration with two major industrial on the main EU consortiums related to two current IST projects in the field, namely, IASON focusing on the design and development of performance measurement platforms for heterogeneous networks and EVOLUTE dealing with seamless multimedia services over all IP-based infrastructures. As in earlier performance modelling and evaluation ATM & IP events in Bradford and Ilkley, U.K., the Working Conference provides the friendly and informal atmosphere in which participants from all over the world introduce new concepts, exchange novel ideas and establish new operational solutions and research initiatives. In particular, delegates are encouraged to address . Traffic Engineering and performance modelling aspects of existing and emerging Internet technologies towards the convergence of telecommunications, multi-service networking and broadcasting; . Design and development of performance evaluation platforms for multi- services inter-operability and heterogeneous networks; . Methods and solutions for seamless mobility and heterogeneous mobile network optimization, capacity utilization and resource management, based on enhanced performance against traditional and current state of the art mechanisms; . Analytic and simulation methodologies for QNMs and SPNs with self- similar and multi-fractal traffic models of long-range (LRD) versus short-range (SRD) dependence and their approximation, with tolerable accuracy, by simpler traffic processes. It is envisaged that HET-NETs '03 will make an effective contribution to both structuring research in the performance modelling field and spreading the excellence worldwide. General Chair .

[Fwd: Location Change: Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration]
by Lars Wolf 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

und noch ein Ortswechsel ... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Location Change: Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 07:02:58 +0200 From: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Reply-To: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> To: SIGMM-MEMBERS(a)ACM.ORG From: Yong Rui <yongrui(a)microsoft.com> LOCATION CHANGE 2003 International Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration (WOMTEC) October 19-20, 2003 Nice, France In association with ICCV 2003 http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/womtec/ As computing is becoming ubiquitous and network bandwidth grows, the way how people teach, learn, and collaborate is rapidly changing. People are increasingly using computer technologies to make learning and collaboration easier, more convenient, and more effective. There are still many open technical problems that need to be addressed to make e-learning and collaboration a better experience. We need to address the problem of how to better capture and present a lecture or a group meeting. We need to better understand the meeting context such as the gesture, facial expressions, who is speaking, who wants to speak so that we can generate good indexing schemes to allow for nonlinear browsing and provide a better summarization of the meeting. How to make note-taking easier is another interesting problem. For a group meeting or a class with remote participants, we need to address the problem of how to present the meeting room to the remote participants and vice versa so that the remote participants are not left out. One clear advantage of a face-to-face meeting vs. current video conferencing is that many visual cues, such as eye contacts and who is paying attention to what, are lost in video conferencing. Most of these problems involve techniques from computer vision, graphics, and multimedia. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the researchers who are interested in this area to exchange their work and ideas. The topics include but not limited to: * Camera and microphone arrays for AV capturing of lectures and group meetings. * Calibration of camera arrays for meeting/lecture capturing * Gesture recognition * Facial expression recognition * Eye gaze correction * Speaker detection and tracking from video and audio * Automated lecture capturing * Automated lecture analysis and indexing * Automatic assessment of student behavior * Lecture presentation and browsing * Whiteboard capturing and analysis * Classroom note taking * Novel use of TabletPC and other small devices for teaching and learning * E-learning systems * Digital ink compression, classification, and recognition * Video and document data compression * Distance learning standards such as SCORM The accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by IEEE Computer Society (pending approval). The best papers will be published in the International Journal of Distance Education Technologies. Because the ICCV paper decisions are made later than the submission deadline, we accept dual submissions from ICCV. The papers which are accepted by ICCV will be withdrawn from the workshop. At least one author per paper must register at a "non-student" rate before July 20, 2003. Otherwise the paper will not be included in the program. If all the authors on a paper are certified as students, then a student rate registration will be accepted. Paper submission: To submit a paper, please go to our online submission system. Papers should be submitted electronically in pdf (preferred) or postscript with no more than 8 pages including all figures, references and appendices using the ICCV 2003 submission format. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: May 22, 2003 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2003 Camera-ready due: July 20, 2003 Conference: 10/19/2003 - 10/20/2003 Workshop Co-Chairs Zicheng Liu Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA Zhengyou Zhang Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA Yong Rui Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA Local Arrangement Chair Yang-Fan Fang Yi-Chang High Tech District, China Program Committee Gregory Abowd George Tech, USA Richard Anderson University of Washington, USA Sumit Basu Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA Herng-Yow Chen National Chi-Nan University, Taiwan Xilin Chen CMU, USA Michael Cohen Microsoft Research, USA Ross Cutler Microsoft Research, USA Michael Gleicher University of Wisconsin at Madison, USA Ken Goldberg UC Berkeley, USA Jianjun Hou Beijing University, China Thomas S.
