[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks]
by Lars Wolf 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2003 17:49:13 -0400 From: Jeff Wieselthier <wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/wireless_adhoc.html * *Novel approaches are needed to address ad hoc networks, which are characterized by the lack of an infrastructure. For example, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint modes of communication must be supported in a multihop network that typically consists of small (often disadvantaged) users that are characterized by severely limited energy supply, signal-processing capability, antenna directivity, bandwidth, etc. Crucial applications for mobile ad hoc networks include military communications and disaster relief, although commercial applications are certainly possible as well. In applications with a large number of nodes, scalability is a major concern. The study of ad hoc networks is an interdisciplinary one, which can potentially incorporate communication and information theory, distributed networking algorithms, data structures and compression, coding, signal processing, detection, antenna characteristics, optimization methods, simulation, testbed implementations etc. Papers submitted for this special issue must directly address ad hoc networking issues. We outline here only a few of the many aspects of ad hoc network design and control that will be addressed in this special issue. First, distributed network organization algorithms (such as those for clustering) may be used to create the equivalent of an ad hoc infrastructure. Distributed algorithms are also needed for routing, channel access, and other control functions. Networking techniques for ad hoc networks must address the challenges imposed by the all-wireless environment. For example, by contrast with wired networks, the conventional layered protocol stack is not well suited to the ad hoc wireless networking environment because it does not exploit the potential improvements in performance that can be obtained by jointly designing protocols that span multiple layers. Specifically, it is expected that improved performance can be obtained by considering the properties of the physical and data link layers when designing and operating the media-access control (MAC) protocol. Similarly, there are potential benefits to be obtained by developing protocols that address jointly the routing and MAC functions. Additional benefits can be obtained by jointly addressing higher-layer functions along with routing and MAC. Energy-aware protocols (from the perspective of either energy-efficient or energy-constrained operation) are of critical importance in many ad hoc scenarios. Such energy-aware operation can span multiple layers, e.g., by addressing trade-offs between energy used for RF transmission and for signal processing. It is the goal of this special issue to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks by examining all aspects of ad hoc network design and control, including the dependencies between various network functions and the potential benefits that can be gained by cross-layer design. We are interested in papers on fundamental performance limits, but more importantly on algorithm design and performance, system implementations, etc. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Physical layer issues in ad hoc networks * Media Access Control (MAC) techniques * Self-organizing architectures and protocols * Routing protocols * Cross-layer protocol design * Mobility management * Protocols for mobile applications * Transport-layer issues * Signal-processing issues in ad hoc networks * Integration with wired networks * Applications * Energy-aware protocols * Security in ad hoc networks * Capacity and scheduling * Node implementation * Effects on existing protocols * Quality of service * Broadcasting and multicasting * Multimedia and traffic integration * Experiments and testbeds * Error-control schemes * Synchronization and scheduling * Scalability * Performance analysis and simulation * Properties of antennas * Optimization methods * Fundamental limits in ad hoc networks All papers on any of the above topics must include a definite and strong connection to ad hoc networks. Please contact Jeffrey Wieselthier at wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil if there are any questions about the suitability of the paper for this special issue. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE J-SAC format described in the Information for Authors at the J-SAC website.

Users with handheld wireless devices, being mostly mobile, have different needs, motivations and capabilities from wired users. Mobile services are mobile/wireless computing applications and services that can be either pushed to user's handheld wireless devices (push mobile services) or downloaded and installed, over the air, on handheld wireless devices (pull mobile services). The explosive growth of the handheld wireless devices market, however, is stimulating the computing research community to clone almost any technology developed for desktop networked computers to handheld wireless devices connected to a wireless network. Wireless networks are, however, unreliable and suffer from low bandwidth and have a greater tendency for network errors. In addition, wireless connections can be lost or degraded by mobility. As a result, future intelligent mobile services must be designed from the ground up by taking fully into account the new design dimensions made accessible by the new technologies. This emerging field poses new challenges to the research community such as faster time-to-market, quality of wireless information, security concerns, and others. The aim of this special issue is to present most recent research findings on mobile services. We are seeking papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel mobile services and applications * Pull and push mobile services * Analysis and design of mobile services * Security and privacy issues in mobile services * Location-dependent mobile services * Content personalization * Discovery protocols for mobile services * Databases for mobile services * XML for mobile services * Middleware for mobile services * Agents for mobile services * Location and data management PUBLICATION SCHEDULE MANUSCRIPT DUE: September 15, 2003 ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION: December 1, 2003 FINAL MANUSCRIPT DUE: February 1, 2004 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors should email an electronic copy (preferably in PDF format) of their papers to Qusay H. Mahmoud, qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca, by September 15, 2003. Submissions should be limited to 20 double space pages excluding figures, graphs and illustrations.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet Date: Mon, 04 Aug 2003 21:35:49 -0300 From: Nelson Fonseca <nfonseca(a)ic.unicamp.br> To: itc(a)comsoc.org, csim(a)comsoc.org, multicomm(a)comsoc.org *Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine*** *Feture Topic on Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet* Recent technological advances have led to a substantial interest in Internet streaming issues. The reasons for this increased interest are many. Broadband connectivity to home users is now available via technologies such as Cable modems and DSL. Commercial organizations have deployed global content distribution networks that allow streaming of content from edge servers, alleviating many of the drawbacks of streaming data over best-effort networks. Despite hurdles in the deployment of IP multicast, application-level multicast of content permits scalable delivery of high bandwidth content to a large number of users. These exciting technological advances have raised a number of interesting research questions. How can edge servers (proxies) be employed for scaling thedelivery of popular streaming content to very large numbers of users? Can peer-to-peer streaming be used to alleviate the load on popular servers and proxies? How can streaming content be delivered effectively to small devices such as PDAs and cell phones? How can techniques such as multi-path streaming be used to reduce packet loss How feasible is it to use TCP for streaming content? The Feature issue on "Proxy Support for Streaming in the Internetis" is devoted to these emerging issues in Internet streaming. *Topics of interest:* * Scalable video delivery * Peer to peer streaming * Multi-path streaming * TCP streaming * Edge servers and content delivery networks for streaming *Important Dates* Submission Deadline: December 1st, 2003 Acceptance Notification: March 15, 2003 Final Manuscript: May 1st, 2004 Publication:August 2004 *Submission* Papers can be of tutorial nature or present new research and development material.

Lille 1 To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS WWAN 2004 International Workshop on Wireless Ad Hoc Networking http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2004 to be held in conjunction with The 24th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS-2004) Tokyo, Japan, March 23-26, 2004 http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/icdcs04 http://www.icdcs2004.org 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 or satellite systems. Ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, monitoring scenarios. Wireless ad-hoc networks are formed by a set of hosts that communicate with each other over a wireless channel. Each node has the ability to communicate directly with another node in its physical neighborhood. They operate in a self-organized and decentralized manner and message communication takes place via multi-hop spreading. A packet is sent to its target node through a set of intermediate nodes that act as routers. Particular ad hoc network systems include packet radio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftop networks, and wireless local area networks. This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical issues up to applications aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. Topics of Interest We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Applications and history of ad hoc networks, - Physical layer of ad hoc networks, - Pervasive and wearable computing, - IEEE 801.11 and Bluetooth based medium access control, - Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation, - Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks, - Hybrid networks and wireless internet, - Security in ad hoc networks, - Data management issues, query processing, data delivery, - Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks, - Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks, - Quality of service in medium access control and routing, - Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks.

FYI: Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 08:01:48 -0400 From: "John, Ajita (Ajita)" <ajita(a)avaya.com> CALL FOR PAPERS JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/jnsm/ Special Issue on Distributed Management The recent rapid increase in the complexity of networks is mainly due to the expanded range of network devices and systems, multiple inter-connected networking technologies, and intricate services such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Voice over IP (VoIP). The intricacies in the services have been supported by increased capabilities in network elements and have compounded the difficulties in maintaining Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The increased complexity in networks poses tremendous challenges for management in terms of functionality, the amount of data to be processed, and the types of data. It is envisioned that distributed management will play a strong role in managing complex networks where the distribution of the various aspects of management such as monitoring, configuration, provisioning, accounting, billing, fault, and performance becomes imperative for greater reliability, scalability and efficiency. This special issue is intended to present the crucial issues and efficient solutions in the distributed management of current and future networks. The focus of this special issue will include the following topics: ? Distributed Management Architectures ? Distributed Management of Service Level Agreements and Quality of Service ? Distributed IP Traffic Management ? Distributed Management for Intra and Inter-domain Bandwidth Brokerage ? Distributed Management of IP Services such as VPN and Voice Over IP ? Distributed Management of Mobile Systems and Wireless Networks ? Distributed Management of IP Over SONET/SDH, WDM, and CATV ? Distributed Charging and Accounting for IP Services ? Distributed Fault, Performance, and Security Management ? Distributed Configuration and Policy-based Management ? Directory, Web, and XML technologies in Distributed Management ? Frameworks for developing Distributed Management Applications ? Scalability, Reliability, and Performance Issues in Distributed Management ? Case Studies of Distributed Management Systems ? Experiences with Commercial Distributed Management Systems Instructions to Contributors: We invite prospective authors to submit high quality journal papers via e-mail to one of the guest editors, depending on their geographic zone.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [kuvs-lg] Inter-Domain-ROuting Workshop Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 13:54:26 +0200 From: Martina Zitterbart <zit(a)tm.uka.de> To: <kuvs-lg(a)comsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de> Hallo zusammen, möchte auf den angehängten Workshop hinweisen. Rege Teilnahme erwünscht. Grüße Martina Zitterbart Call for Contribution ======================= IDRWS 2003 - Inter-Domain Routing Workshop Veranstalter: GI/ITG Fachgruppe KuVS Organisation: R. Bless, G. Lichtwald, U. Walter - Universität Karlsruhe, Institut für Telematik S. Mink - Schlund & Partner AG, Karlsruhe O. Maennel - Technische Universität München N.N. - N.N. 17.09.2003 - 18.09.2003 An der Universität Karlsruhe (TH) ist geplant, einen Workshop zum Thema "Inter-Domain Routing" (IDR) zu veranstalten. Das rasante Wachstum des Internets hat in jüngster Zeit zahlreiche Fragen bezüglich der Skalierbarkeit, Stabilität und Konvergenz der heutigen Inter-Domain-Routing-Architektur aufgeworfen. Es wird teilweise befürchtet, dass aktuelle Lösungen (BGP) in einigen Jahren den Anforderungen nicht mehr gewachsen sind. Aus diesem Grund werden nun zunehmend Anstrengungen unternommen (u.a. in der IRTF) zur Erforschung zukünftiger Routing-Protokolle und Architekturen. Ein Hauptanliegen des Workshops ist es, Forscher, Betreiber und Hersteller zur Diskussion von Ideen und Erfahrungen bezüglich dieser Thematik zusammenzubringen. Für diesen IDRWS werden Vorträge gesucht. Insbesondere sind praktische Aspekte (z.B. betriebliche Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen aus ISP-Sicht) sowie neuartige Konzepte und Untersuchungen aus dem akademischen Umfeld willkommen. Gefragt sind Präsentationen aktueller Probleme des IDR, sowie entsprechende Lösungsansätze oder Entwicklungen in Richtung zukünftiger IDR-Verbesserungen bzw. neuer Routing-Architekturen. Es wird gebeten, einen kurzen Abstract (~150-500 Wörter) über den geplanten Vortrag einzureichen. Die Einreichung eines vollständigen Papers ist _NICHT_ notwendig. Wichtige Daten: * Deadline für Abstracts (Umfang 150-500 Wörter): 17.08.2003 * Veranstaltungsort: Karlsruhe * Vortragsdauer: 20 min (damit genug Zeit für Diskussion bleibt) * Ansprechpartner Götz Lichtwald <lichtwald(a)tm.uka.de> * Info-URL http://www.tm.uka.de/idrws

Mauro Brunato brunato(a)dit.unitn.it ============================================= CALL FOR PAPERS WONS 2004 First International Working Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems (sponsorship by IFIP WG 6.3 and 6.8 is pending for approval) http://dit.unitn.it/wons/ wons(a)dit.unitn.it Madonna di Campiglio (Italy) January 21-23, 2004 Wireless LANs are enjoying a growing interest at all levels: research, application, business. The explosive growth of IEEE802.11b (Wi-Fi), the ongoing change of spectrum management policies and the technology boost making wireless wideband a reality are bringing high bandwidth wireless connectivity to the masses. Connectivity and networking built "on-demand", where and when they are needed in an evolutionary and incremental fashion with limited investments, is spawning new research and business opportunities, offering unprecedented possibilities to support working communities and ubiquitous, cooperative computing. Many aspects of the current wireless LANs growth resemble the rapid, and in part anarchic and unexpected, evolution of the wired Internet. The road is traced and enthusiasm is mounting but many challenges have to be solved before providing seamless communication, reliable quality, secure high bandwidth connectivity, and useful services. The conference will concentrate on new research issues open in the "wireless Internet" context, including design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models and practical implementation. Sound experimental evaluation of new techniques will also be considered. The meeting will take place in one of the finest winter resorts of the Alps, Madonna di Campiglio, in the Trentino region. The cozy atmosphere of the conference hotel, facing one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Alps, will facilitate concentration and creativity. The schedule of the meeting will consist of presentations in the morning and in the afternoon/evening. A pause after lunch will allow social activities and informal interaction among the participants. Topics comprise, but are not limited to: - Wireless access to the Internet - Modelling and performance evaluation of wireless LANs - Quality of service and pricing ("charging for quality") - Traffic and user activity models - Service differentiation mechanisms - Virtual operators in WiFi networks - Pervasive / ubiquitous computing - Location and context-awareness - Wireless LANs design - Management, authentication, authorization and accounting - On-Demand, Ad-Hoc Networks ---------------------------------------------------------- Keynote speech: "Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Protocols and Applications" Mario Gerla, Computer Science Department, UCLA ---------------------------------------------------------- Conference Proceedings will be published by Springer in the series "Lecture Notes in Computer Science".

[Fwd: ARCS 2004 Call for papers (reminder)]
by Lars Wolf 08 Jul '03

08 Jul '03

Second Announcement and Call for Papers: ARCS 2004 17TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARCHITECTURE OF COMPUTING SYSTEMS - ORGANIC AND PERVASIVE COMPUTING - Augsburg, Germany March 23 - 26, 2004 http://www.uni-augsburg.de/arcs04 Submission Deadline: September 15, 2003 Future processors become smaller, provide higher performance and consume less power than today's devices. Such processors will spark off new applications in particular in the area of everyday consumer devices. Mobile telecommunication systems increase bandwidth and will yield highly connected, ubiquitous computing systems. System design and management complexity increase to a level where a new paradigm may provide help: Organic computing (also known as autonomic computing) borrows from analogies between complex technical and biological systems. It follows a human-centered approach by leveraging self-organization capabilities. Organic computing investigates the design and implementation of self-managing systems that are self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, context aware, and anticipatory. ARCS 2004 will emphasize the design, realization and analysis of the emerging organic and pervasive systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The conference focuses on system aspects of organic and pervasive computing in software and hardware. In particular, the system integration and self-management of hardware, software and networking aspects of up-to-now unconnected devices is a challenging research topic. ARCS 2004 continues and replaces the biennial series of German Conferences on Architecture of Computing Systems. This 17th conference in the series serves as a forum to present current work on all aspects of computer and systems architecture. Besides its main focus, the conference is open for more general and interdisciplinary themes in operating systems, networking, and computer architecture.

[Fwd: CfP: Internet Economics - Pricing and Policies, Special Issue in Computer Networks (Elsevier)]
by Lars Wolf 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue Computer Networks (Elsevier) on "Internet Economics - Pricing and Policies" With the commercialization of the Internet, the range of offered services, the variety of applications, and the diversity of management tasks have increased in order to accommodate customer as well as provider needs. However, only the combination of technical functions with sensible business models will enable a world-wide interoperable network giving incentives to providers and customers to participate, offer, and utilize the information network of the near future. This special issue on "Internet Economics - Pricing and Policies" aims at covering both the network and economic side at the same time. The underlying emphasis on technology for an end-to-end provisioning of Quality-of-Service (QoS) covers the Internet as a network and the end-system from a technical point of view on Internet Economics. On the other hand, business policy management, the economics of service differentiation, and required charging support for transport and content define the economic aspects of this complex problem. Both areas are addressed by a joint discussion, the identification of solutions, investigations of their feasibility, and a consolidation of technical and economic mechanisms to enable a fast, guaranteed, and efficient provisioning of differentiated services in the Internet. Based on those preliminaries, the following dedicated topics are of emerging interest for the two groups of international experts on inter-networking and economics for the Internet and the guest editors solicit papers on. Only technical and economic papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by another conference or journal, will be considered: * Economic Models for Internet Services * Business Models for Internet Services * Sustainable Peer-to-Peer and Grid Computing * Policy-based Service and QoS Control * Pricing and Tariffing for Internet Services * Charging and Accounting for Internet Services * E-Commerce in the Internet * Application Service Provider Cost and Revenue Modeling * Economies of Wireless and Ad-Hoc Networks * Business Models for Mobile Access Networks * Internet Service Provider Cost Modeling * Pricing and Charging for Differentiated Services * Security Mechanisms for Commercial Internet Services * Monitoring and Measurements * Management of Service Level Agreements Authors should follow the Computer Networks (Elsevier) manuscript format as described at the URL http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/compnw. Prospective authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript according to the following timetable to one of the guest editors' e-mail addresses stated below. Manuscript Due Date: September 1, 2003 Acceptance Notification Date: December 15, 2003 Final Manuscript Due Date: January 15, 2003 Publication Date: 1st Quarter 2004 Guest Editors: Burkhard Stiller Lee McKnight University of Federal School of Armed Forces Munich Information Studies and ETH Zürich Syracuse University stiller(a)tik.ee.ethz.ch lmcknigh(a)syr.edu Martin Karsten Peter Reichl School of Forschungszentrum Computer Science Telekommunikation University of Waterloo Wien, FTW kalli(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca reichl(a)ftw.at ==========================================================
