Please submit your full-paper online via http://wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw/~jsac ====================================================================== (We appologize if you received multiple copies of this Call.) CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications ALL-IP WIRELESS NETWORKS IP (Internet Protocol), which is already a universal network-layer protocol for wireline packet networks, is becoming a promising universal network-layer protocol over all wireless systems. IP provides a globally successful open infrastructure for creating and providing services and applications. An all-IP wireless and wireline network could make wireless networks more robust, scalable, and cost effective. It will also enable the abundant applications and software technologies developed for IP networks to be used over wireless networks. Today's many different wireless systems, ranging from PANs (Personal Area Networks), wireless LANs (Local Area Networks) to wide-area cellular systems, are often not compatible with each other which makes it difficult for a user to roam from one radio system to another. No wireless technology has emerged as a common and long-term universal solution. With IP as the common network layer protocol, an IP-based mobile device (with multiple radio interfaces or software defined radio) could roam between different wireless systems. The papers in this issue will focus on state-of-the-art research in all-IP wireless networks. Submission for Beyond 3G (B3G) systems will be included. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to, the following topics: o Systems and Architecture o Access Protocols o Transport Protocols o Signaling Protocols o Resource Management o Power Control and Management o QoS Provisioning o Security o Mobile VoIP o Video over Wireless Internet o Network Performance Analysis o Internetworking o System Integration Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered. Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors on the inside back cover of any issue of J-SAC. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should submit a pdf version of their complete manuscript (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 Mbyte) online via http://wire.cs.nthu.edu.tw/~jsac according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: FEBRUARY 15, 2003 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2003 Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2003 Publication: 1st Quarter 2004 Prathima Agrawal Telcordia Technologies Room 1J244B 445 South St Morristown, NJ 07960 USA Tao Zhang Telcordia Technologies Room 1J214B 445 South St Morristown, NJ 07960 USA Cormac J.

The convergence of the telecom, datacom and mobile world has created a multi-service, multi-platform network of the new world: namely mobile wireless Internet. User mobility has created a new dimension in many research areas, including inter network and inter service roaming, mobility management, Quality of Service (QoS), resource management, network architecture and protocols, mobile multimedia applications and services, etc. New wireless network architectures are being proposed to cope with diverse applications, levels of mobility, and traffic types. Advanced mobility management techniques will support seamless IP connection across different networks, and provide end-to-end QoS support. A QoS-enabled multi-service-based high-speed backbone network is required to carry large amounts of packet-switched data for both wireline and wireless access. This issue of J-SAC will be devoted to the advanced architectures, protocols, and applications for wireless mobile Internet, in particular, mobility management, QoS provisioning and the interaction between the two. We seek original, previously unpublished, and completed contributions, not currently under review by another journal. Contributions emphasizing recent advances and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Network architectures and protocols for wireless Internet * Integration and internetworking of wired and wireless networks * Inter network and inter service roaming solutions * Interoperability in multi-provider access networks * Inter/intra domain QoS protocols and mechanisms * Mobility management, in particular, QoS-aware mobility management * Related standards (3GPP, MWIF, 3G.IP, ETSI, IETF, ...) * Multimedia applications and services for different networks and user terminals * System architecture, protocol stack and reference model Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts in accordance to the IEEE J-SAC format described in the Information for Authors and submit four copies of their manuscript to one of the guest editors. Papers may also be submitted electronically as .pdf files via e-mail.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ACM/IFIP EuroPar'2003 - Call for Papers Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 01:09:41 -0300 From: Mirela Sechi Moretti Annoni Notare <mirela(a)newsite.com.br> To: <mirela(a)ieee.org> Call for Papers (Submission Deadline: February 9, 2003) Euro-Par 2003 - Topic 15 Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing Klagenfurt, Austria August 26-29, 2003 http://europar-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/ * Description The development of small and powerful computing devices and, simultaneously, of wireless, mobile communication systems offers a great variety of new applications, summarized under the name of Mobile Computing. The phenomenal growth of those mobile computing devices, together with current trends in embedded systems and software, real-time interaction and omnipresent wireless networking fertilises the formation of a Ubiquitous Computing landscape, in which digital environments are aware of the presence of users, sensitive, adaptive and responsive to the users needs, habits and emotions and ubiquitously accessible for the user via natural interaction. This topic solicits papers dealing with the following mobile and ubiquitous computing elements: mobility, ubiquity, awareness, intelligence, and natural interaction. Mobility addresses solutions that help to make time, geographic, media and service boundaries less and less important. Ubiquity refers to a situation in which we are surrounded by a multitude of interconnected embedded systems, which are (mostly) invisible and moved into the background of our surrounding (workplace, building, home, outdoor). Awareness refers to the ability of the system to recognise and localise objects as well as people and their intentions. Intelligence refers to the fact that the digital surrounding is able to adapt itself to the people that live in it, learn from their behaviour, and possibly recognise as well as show emotion. Natural interaction finally refers to advanced modalities like natural speech- and gesture recognition, as well as speech- synthesis, which will allow a much more human-like communication with the digital environment than is possible today. The aim of the topic is to bring together, at Euro-Par 2003, computer scientists an engineers in the areas of wireless networking, mobile computing, and ubiquitous computing in order to present and share their ideas about the design and analysis of ubiquitous computing environments and the challenges imposed by the applications of mobile and ubiquitous computing. * Focus Mobile/wireless computing infrastructure Communication in mobile networks Mobility and QoS management Ad-hoc and personal area networks Media access techniques and terminals Ubiquitous/pervasive computing software architectures Ubiquitous access and context computing Smart devices and smart spaces Intelligent environments Sensors and actuators Positioning/tracking/authentication systems and technologies Mobile/ubiquitous/wearable computing scenarios Location-dependent/personalized wireless applications User interfaces and interaction models * Chairs Global Chair Prof. Max Mühlhäuser FG Telekooperation TU Darmstadt, Germany Email: max(a)informatik.tu-darmstadt.de Vice Chairs Prof. Azzedine Boukerche Department of Computer Sciences University of North Texas, USA Email: boukerche(a)cs.unt.edu Karin Anna Hummel Institute for Computer Science and Business Informatics University of Vienna, Austria Email: karin.hummel(a)univie.ac.at Local Chair Prof. Alois Ferscha Institute for Practical Computer Science, Software Group Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria Email: ferscha(a)soft.uni-linz.ac.at * Euro-Par Mission and Details Euro-Par is well established as the premier annual European conference on all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. The conference normally attracts more than 300 participants coming from universities, research centres and industry. Euro-Par 2003 will represent major themes in the categories of hardware, software, algorithms and applications. In common with previous years, Euro-Par 2003 will be organized as a number of parallel sessions on 19 topics for which papers are solicited. * Submission Details All accepted papers will be available at the conference in the proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. * Submission Key Dates Online submission site open: January 10, 2003 Final date for submission: February 9, 2003 Notification of acceptance: May 1, 2003 Camera ready version: May 25, 2003

The convergence of the telecom, datacom and mobile world has created a multi-service, multi-platform network of the new world: namely mobile wireless Internet. User mobility has created a new dimension in many research areas, including inter network and inter service roaming, mobility management, Quality of Service (QoS), resource management, network architecture and protocols, mobile multimedia applications and services, etc. New wireless network architectures are being proposed to cope with diverse applications, levels of mobility, and traffic types. Advanced mobility management techniques will support seamless IP connection across different networks, and provide end-to-end QoS support. A QoS-enabled multi-service-based high-speed backbone network is required to carry large amounts of packet-switched data for both wireline and wireless access. This issue of J-SAC will be devoted to the advanced architectures, protocols, and applications for wireless mobile Internet, in particular, mobility management, QoS provisioning and the interaction between the two. We seek original, previously unpublished, and completed contributions, not currently under review by another journal. Contributions emphasizing recent advances and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Network architectures and protocols for wireless Internet * Integration and internetworking of wired and wireless networks * Inter network and inter service roaming solutions * Interoperability in multi-provider access networks * Inter/intra domain QoS protocols and mechanisms * Mobility management, in particular, QoS-aware mobility management * Related standards (3GPP, MWIF, 3G.IP, ETSI, IETF, ...) * Multimedia applications and services for different networks and user terminals * System architecture, protocol stack and reference model Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts in accordance to the IEEE J-SAC format described in the Information for Authors and submit four copies of their manuscript to one of the guest editors. Papers may also be submitted electronically as .pdf files via e-mail.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Symposium on Wireless, Vehicular and Mobile Commerce (IEEE VTC) Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2003 11:21:03 -0500 (EST) From: Upkar Varshney <uvarshne(a)cis.gsu.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: uvarshney(a)gsu.edu Call for Papers: Deadline Feb. 15, 2003 Wireless, Vehicular and Mobile Commerce: A Symposium at IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (www.vtc2003.org) October 4-9, 2003 Orlando, FL, USA Motivation and Scope With the emergence and wide spread adoption of wireless and mobile networks, devices, and middleware, mobile commerce applications are beginning to receive some interest in research and development community. According to estimates by Gartner Group, in 2004, at least 40% of consumer-to-business e-commerce will be initiated from smart phones. A study from the Wireless Data and Computing Service, a division of Strategy Analytics, reports that the worldwide mobile commerce market may rise to $200 Billion by 2004. The report predicts that transactions via wireless devices will generate about $14 Billion a year. In many European countries and Japan with significant wireless penetration, the mobile commerce market is already taking off and reaching billions of dollars a year. It is to be noted that mobile commerce may require significantly different approaches in design, development, and implementation of applications due to the inherent characteristics of wireless networks and mobile devices. Many interesting and important challenges include design and development of mobile commerce applications, networking requirements, transactions and security issues, business models and strategies. Mobile commerce will also significantly benefit from research in mobile devices, mobile middleware, and wireless network infrastructure. Vehicular technologies and intelligent transportation systems are likely to play a very important role in this emerging area of commerce. The symposium will bring together experts in this field and address significant challenges in mobile commerce from both technology and business application point of views. The symposium will cover several topics including * New m-commerce applications including mobile advertising, mobile financial applications, mobile inventory, proactive service management, wireless re-engineering among others * Requirements of m-commerce applications * Development of mobile commerce applications (new constraints, approaches, interoperability, processing and storage, desirable features) * Vehicular commerce * Use of vehicular technologies in m-commerce * Vehicle to vehicle commerce * Intelligent transportation systems and m-commerce * Emerging vehicular technologies for m-commerce * Infrastructure support from wireless networks (location management, wireless dependability, coverage, roaming, inter-working etc) * Location management support for mobile commerce (indoor vs outdoor, precision, performance and transaction requirements, multiple location technologies) * Location and context awareness * User and location specific service discovery * Devices, middleware, and operating systems support * Security and transactions in mobile commerce (mobile commerce transactions over wireless networks, new and current security paradigms for m-commerce) * Business issues and models for mobile commerce (pricing and new ways of charging, revenue generation and division among carriers and operators * Other emerging and related issues to m-commerce applications and technologies We are currently in the process of negotiating with a journal for a special issue on m-commerce. Some of the best papers from this symposium are likely to be included in the proposed issue.

Davison <brian(a)cse.lehigh.edu> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: Undisclosed recipients: ; ****************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************************** IJCAI-03 Workshop on Web Request Modeling and Prediction Sunday, August 10, 2003 http://www.cse.lehigh.edu/web-prediction/ ****************************************************************** Web request modeling and prediction has been proposed by many as a significant tool for personalization, for the optimization of caching systems, and in Web mining. An accurate prediction system, for example, can be used to pre-load content into a browser or proxy's cache, perform pre-calculation within a Web server, or search ahead for information of interest to an end user. Significant end-user benefits are often claimed from the reduction of client-perceived latencies that result from increased cache hit rates. This workshop will provide a focused venue for discussion of algorithms and implementations for predicting Web requests. Previous work on this topic has been scattered across many disciplines, making definitive progress on this task difficult. Moreover, researchers often end up re-discovering useful techniques. By bringing such people together in a single venue, we can recognize common ground, share our experiences, and evolve a common vocabulary. Likely participants are expected to include researchers in the AI, ML, KDD, UM and Web systems communities. We solicit contributions and participation to examine: * state-of-the-art techniques for request prediction * the trade-off of complexity and storage versus predictive performance * the role of client-side caching on model accuracy * the effect of using HTTP referrer tags * the role that request timestamps play in model generation and accuracy * comparative performance on standardized datasets and evaluation * appropriate evaluation methods (such as those that are tied to real-world utility) * the effect of classifying user browsing modes Submission Instructions Participants for this one-day workshop will be selected through three mechanisms. The first is the traditional high-quality original peer-reviewed research paper, which would be presented during the workshop. The second is a short position statement, indicating relevant experience, past publications, and interest. Finally, we will invite the authors of top-performing prediction software (as measured by pre-workshop performance on a standardized dataset) to the workshop, and ask the authors of the best systems to present their techniques in a paper and a talk at the workshop. Further details are available on the workshop web site. All submissions must be in English, formatted according to IJCAI standards, and sent to the workshop chair by email as a PDF (preferred) or Postscript attachment. Note: Participants are expected to register for the main IJCAI conference in addition to the workshop, and attendance will be limited to encourage interaction. Important Dates and Deadlines * Deadline for submitting prediction results of standardized datasets: February 14, 2003 * Deadline for the submission of full papers (6 to 8 pages) or position statements (1-2 pages): February 28, 2003. * Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 24, 2003. * Deadline for the receipt of camera-ready papers: May 9, 2003.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: IEEE VTC'03 Wireless Ad hoc, Sensor, and Wearable Networks Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 04:06:44 -0500 From: Ahmed Safwat <safwat(a)cs.queensu.ca> To: itc(a)comsoc.org CALL FOR PAPERS *IEEE VTC 2003 http://www.vtc2003.org/* *Wireless Ad hoc, Sensor, and Wearable Networks* *http://www.cs.queensu.ca/home/safwat/VTC_2003_Symposium/* October 4-9, 2003 Hyatt Orlando Hotel Orlando, Florida, USA *Symposium Chair:* * * Ahmed Safwat Queen's University, Canada safwat(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:safwat@cs.queensu.ca> This is the first in a series of annual symposia dedicated to Wireless Ad hoc, Sensor, and Wearable Networks. Each year there will be one or more themes invigorated by the state-of-the-art. This year's theme is "Energy-Efficient and Context-Aware Designs". However, we welcome all submissions of relevance to wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks. In multi-hop wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks wireless mobile stations and electronic devices form a network without the intervention of a dedicated infrastructure. Such networks eradicate infrastructure deployment, setup, and administration costs. Nevertheless, although energy efficiency and context awareness in wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks are of great significance, they both remain the main impediments towards their deployment. The outcomes of this year's Symposium will stimulate and exhilarate the deployment of sustainable and context-rich wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks. Original papers are solicited in the area of energy-efficiency and/or context-awareness for wireless ad hoc, sensor, and wearable networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: -- Routing protocols -- Medium access control -- Modeling and simulation -- Security algorithms -- Energy-efficient physical designs -- Disruptive applications (telemedical, biological, etc) -- Multi-hop cellular architectures (multi-hop WLANs, 4G, 4G+) -- Body area networks -- M-commerce -- Multi-channel ad hoc/sensor networks: designs and algorithms -- Directive antennas -- Self-configurable wearable networks -- Personal area networks -- Cross-layer designs -- TCP-related issues -- Wireless multi-hop testbeds -- Location-inspired designs -- Incorporation of context into wearable networking -- Non-monolithic/shared conceptual models for context-awareness -- Algorithms for context discovery and delivery *Submission Guidelines: * Authors are required to submit a short abstract (approximately 150 words) AND an extended abstract (up to 2 pages) as well. All submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS conference management system at http://edas.info, and must be in MS-Word or PDF format. Your submission should include the names, complete mailing addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and the email addresses of the authors. *Important Dates:* Deadline for submission of abstracts: February 15, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2003 Camera-Ready Papers: July 15, 2003 Best regards, Ahmed -------------------------------------------------------------- Ahmed Safwat Queen's University, Canada Phone: 613.549.5667 URL: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/home/safwat/ --------------------------------------------------------------
