by Sudip Misra 24 May '09

24 May '09

CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless Personal Communications: An International Journal (Springer) Special issue on: Adaptive Communication in Wireless Networks Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The last few years have experienced a steep growth in research on wireless networks having attractive claims. Researchers are currently envisioning different attractive properties of wireless systems such as the ability to self-organize, self-configure, self-heal, self-manage and self-maintain. These systems are increasingly becoming dynamic and they are expected to perform many tasks autonomously by adapting to the dynamics of the networks. With the wide range of applications that need to be supported in these systems, there exists increasing expectations about what the current and the future generation networks can do. Many of these requirements are pivoted in the ability of the networks to adapt to the network dynamism. Adaptation to changing environments, in turn, often leads to increased performance of the networks. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers relating to different aspects of adaptive communication in wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, all aspects of adaptive communication in: • Broadband wireless access networks • Wireless Internet • Software defined radio • Bluetooth technology • Ultra-wide band radio • Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks • Wireless Mesh Networks • IEEE 802.11/802.20/802.22 • Emerging wireless network security issues • Wireless telemedicine and e-health • Emerging issues in 3G and 4G wireless networks • Emerging wireless network architecture • Multimedia over emerging wireless networks • Underwater sensor Networks • Supplying power to the distributed wireless sensors • Cognitive Radio Systems • Cooperative wireless communications • Multi-hop relay wireless communications Good quality survey/tutorial-type articles (but NOT purely a literature review) are also of interest to this Special Issue.

[Tccc] Meeting of the VDE/ITG-Professional group
by Christian Philipp 22 May '09

22 May '09

The professional group of ITG 5.2.4 "Mobility in IP-based networks" organizes in Klagenfurt on June 29th (open worshop) and 30th 2009, in cooperation with the Institute for Networked and Embedded Systems (NES) from Klagenfurt University and Lakeside Labs GmbH a one day workshop on the topic: Cooperation and Self-Organization in Communication Networks The workshop will take place at Lakeside Labs GmbH (Klagenfurt, Austria) on June 29th, 2009. We solicit - Technical overview presentations - Project presentations - Presentations of results of ongoing research - Visionary (possibly provocative) presentations Today’s communication networks are becoming more and more large in scale, which results in increased complexity for their engineering, operation, and maintenance. To this end, the concepts of cooperative communications and self-organizing systems have recently attracted considerable attention. In cooperative communications, different nodes in a network share resources to establish collaboration through distributed transmission/processing. They assist each other to improve overall network performance and achieve better utilization of space- time resources without the need for a centralized authority. Self-organizing systems represent a paradigm shift, where the global service of a system emerges from the local interactions of a large number of autonomous components that act based on simple rules. In comparison to traditional, often centralized architectures, self- organizing systems are often advantageous regarding robustness, scalability, and adaptability. The integration of self-organizing and cooperation concepts into communication networks promises new approaches to solve problems of network complexity, spontaneous communications, and scalability, to mention a few. The objective of this workshop is to create a forum to exchange ideas and share experiences in these fields among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: • Biologically-inspired and evolutionary approaches for communications and networking • Management and control of self-organizing networked systems • Theory of cooperation and self-organization • Cooperation and self-organizing at the user/social and application level • Cooperative relaying in wireless systems • Cross layer cooperation and optimization • Network coding, as a form of cooperative communications • Robustness, dependability, and security issues • Resource utilization and coverage extension via cooperation • Use cases for self-organization and standardization activites in 3GPP, NGMN or ETSI • Practical experiences, testbeds or prototypes Please inform the workshop organisers about your planned contribution by April 30th, 2009. The workshop places are limited and assigned on a first come first serve basis. Participants should register by email by June 14th, 2009.

[Tccc] CFP: U-NET (User-provided networking) workshop, co-located with CoNext'09
by Paulo Mendes 21 May '09

21 May '09

(Appologies if you get this twice) ACM U-NET'09 — User-provided Networking: Challenges and Opportunities Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/unet/ Submission Deadline: July 17, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/N7753 *Motivation* This workshop is dedicated to the debate of concepts, challenges, and opportunities concerning user-provided networking, i.e., scenarios where users cooperate by sharing wireless resources as well as Internet services. To provide a specific example that relates to Internet access (connectivity), the end-user (or a community of end-users) is a micro-operator in the sense that he/she shares his/her subscribed broadband Internet access based on some form of incentive scheme. In addition, the end-user may or may not provide other network functionality such as local mobility management, or persistent storage and forwarding services. This new role is disruptive in what concerns Internet service models, since there is no distinction between what is today known as end-user device and network device: in the future, end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network. In contrast, the Internet has been up to now mostly the means for end-users to obtain some form of network service, originally related to connectivity, person-to-person communication, or information retrieval. Such user-centric provider role is also disruptive given that the regular network boundaries of trust have to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior: there is the need to form networks of trust in order to accommodate a robust network growth, given that the key to such growth is the willingness to cooperate. Another disruptive aspect of user-provided networking is that due to the nature of the wireless media and the way that humans move, support for intermittent connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. Finally, and given that user-provided networking spreads dynamically having as network elements regular end-user devices, there is the need to consider cases where information is opportunistically relayed instead of routed based on topological information. Due to the disruptive aspects mentioned, user-provided networking seem to have the potential to provide a paradigm shift in Internet communication models, given that such novel functionality allow wireless networks to operate in a completely autonomic way and also given that the end-user becomes a provider of Internet services (e.g. connectivity) based upon cooperation incentives or rewards and based upon his/her own mobility and social patterns. Services are established on the fly, and do not necessarily imply the use of multihop technology or routing. For instance, connectivity may be, in most cases, simply relayed. The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers and a discussion panel with guests from industry and academia. We envision U-NET as a forum aiming to ignite a debate concerning technical challenges and impact (negatively or positively) that user-provided networking may have on Internet communication models. *Topics* U-NET'09 solicits high quality technical contributions within the context of user-provided networking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Challenges and opportunities for access providers. * Impact on Internet architectures. * Internet connectivity. * Trust models, incentives to share broadband access. * Human behaviour and mobility patterns. * Self-organization. * Wireless cooperation. Papers submitted are expected to be highly innovative and may incorporate early stage ideas; position papers (clearly identified as such) pointing to new directions and capable of generating discussion are also welcome. Submission must be original and not already published in any other conference proceeding or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. *Submissions* Submitted papers must be at most 6 (six) pages long (including figures, tables and references) in the standard ACM double column format. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submissions will b e done via EDAS at http://edas.info/N7753. *Important Dates* Submissions due: July 17, 2009 Notification of acceptance: September 4, 2009 Camera ready version due: October 1, 2009 Workshop date: December 1, 2009 *Program Committee* PC Chairs Paulo Mendes, INESC Porto, Portugal Olivier Marcé, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, France Technical Program Committee Rute Sofia, INESC Porto, Portugal André Zúquete, University of Aveiro, Portugal Vassilis Kostakos, University of Madeira, Portugal Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Dirk Trossen, British Telecom Innovate, United Kingdom Prosper Chemouli, France Telecom, France Martin May, Thomson Paris Research Laboratory, France Karen Sollins, MIT, USA Lixia Zhang, UCLA, USA James Kempf, Ericsson Research, USA Dipankar Raychaudhuri, Rutgders University, USA Bernhard Plattner, ETH, Switzerland George Polyzos, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Maria Papadopouli, FORTH/University of Creete, Greece Anand Prasand, NEC, Japan Gunnar Karlsson, KTH, Sweden Yevgeni Koucheryavy, Tampere University of Technology, Finland Marcus Brunner, NEC, Germany Petri Mähönen, RWTH Aachen University, Germany -- ----------------------------------------------------- Paulo Mendes, Ph.D Area Leader, Internet Architectures and Networking Telecommunication and Multimedia Unit INESC Porto Tel. +351 22 209 4264 Fax. +351 22 209 4050 http://ian.inescporto.pt _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks Datum: Fri, 15 May 2009 10:44:38 +0300 Von: Eleftherios Mamatas <emamatas(a)ee.duth.gr> An: Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br [apologies for multiple-postings] ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE 12-14 October 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia (in conjunction with ICUMT 2009) [Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/] ************************************************************************ Networking research for challenged environments has attracted a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of "going online". Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a "one-fits-all" protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract-registration Deadline: June 15, 2009 Paper-submission Deadline: June 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal.

Besides structural alterations of the own home, ICT can provide significantly increase comfort, safety, health, and well-being at home. What is needed is assistance in the management of everyday activities in the home environment. Supporting persons in their own homes in their daily living in a seamless and helpful fashion is one of the big challenges of ambient assisted homes. The objective is to improve the quality of life in the golden age with new technologies. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) and with it ambient assisted homes include methods, concepts, (electronic) systems, devices as well as services that are providing unobtrusive support for daily life based on context and the situation of the assisted person. For ambient assisted homes traditional means for user interface development as known from desktop computing is often not suitable as many other conditions have an influence on the design in this context. One essential need in ambient assisted homes is seamless interaction, which is integrated into the immediate personal environment of the user. Novel user interfaces need to react intelligently to the user's situation, interaction and goals in a coherent way.

[Tccc] DWSAN4CIP'09: Call for papers - 40 days until deadline
by Evgeny Osipov 06 May '09

06 May '09

(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this e-mail.) DWSAN4CIP 2009: CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Dependable Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks for Critical Infrastructure Protection http://www.wsan4cip.eu/dwsan4cip October 12 - 14, 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia Technically Sponsored by IEEE Communications Society Russia Northwest Chapter Thematically supported by EU FP7 project WSAN4CIP OVERVIEW: It is hard to overestimate the role of ICT systems in operational cycles of modern industry and life supporting infrastructures. ICT control systems are used to continuously monitor the state of industrial processes and status of critical infrastructures. Over the last few years Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) technology appeared as an ideal technological building block to improve the reliability and availability of ICTs in critical operational environments. On the other hand WSANs themselves become part of a critical infrastructures and processes. Whenever another layer of complexity is added to a system, this opens new possibilities for system failures, misuse or malicious attacks. The critical prerequisite for WSANs to be adopted in performance critical applications is their dependability, i.e. the ability of a system to deliver specified services to the user. It is, however, by far not trivial to make WSANs dependable for variety of applications in different operation environments and having different performance requirements. For DWSAN workshop we solicit original contributions aiming at achieving dependability of WSAN technology on different layers. Experiences from real-life deployment of dependable WSANs, application dependent WSAN design methodologies, dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, general issues of reliability, security in dependable WSANs are some of the key research topics to be discussed during the workshop. The goal of the workshop is to present high-quality results in the field, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. Workshop Topics The workshop objectives will be pursued through highly technical sessions organized thematically and keynote talks offered by recognized experts. Topics of interest to DWSAN 2009 include (but are not limited to) the following: * Real life experience from deployment of wireless sensor networks in critical applications * Methodologies for assessment of performance requirements * Methodologies for systematic design of WSAN communication architecture * Application of control theory for cross-layer optimization of dependable communication protocols for WSAN * Dependable MAC protocols * Dependable routing protocols * Dependable transport protocols * Intelligent energy and QoS management * Fault tolerant middleware for WSANs * Operating systems for dependable WSANs * Security services Keynote speech We have a pleasure to announce that the keynote speech this year will be given by Professor Ivan Stojmenovic, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~ivan .

05 May '09

Apologies if duplicated __________________________________________________________________________________ SENSEAPP 2009 FOURTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2009) Zurich, Switzerland 20 - 23 October 2009 Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp CALL FOR PAPERS Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION: FULL PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

The MMNS 2009 conference will provide participants with a high quality and intimate setting for discussion and debate. The conference is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society and specifically the Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). SCOPE OF MMNS 2009 Since 1997, MMNS has established itself as a major conference for research and innovation in the management of multimedia technology and networked services. The scope of the conference has been expanded in recent years to include management of emerging mobile and wireless networks and their integration with more traditional network infrastructures. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from academia and industry interested in state-of-the-art management of converged multimedia networks and services across heterogeneous networking infrastructures, while creating a public venue for result dissemination and intellectual collaboration. The convergence of existing and emerging technologies such as broadband, mobile, and broadcast networks is considered as a promising opportunity for existing providers to increase their service subscriber base, so that the 4G vision and beyond becomes a reality. An important research effort is undertaken by main actors to face the multidimensional, in terms of transport technology, session signaling, and QoS provisioning, heterogeneity of Next Generation Networks (NGNs). The efficient management of wireless and wired technologies side-by-side and of the number of multimedia services provisioned over these integrated networks is a key ingredient in the effort to provide cost effective, innovative, and mass-market solutions that are likely to become a major source of income for different stakeholders. The need to evolve management tools, solutions, platforms and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobile and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, quadruple play convergence, and the integration of embedded systems in different domains, from smart homes/cities to next generation automotive systems. The academic and industry research communities should unify forces to address the challenges of developing and operating converged multimedia networks and services. Inevitably, integrated management is a key element in addressing this challenge. The MMNS 2009 technical program committee is soliciting research papers in the broad area of network and service management that address new models, architectures, and technological designs to enable multimedia and mobility proliferation in NGNs. MMNS 2009 intends to continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, and will emphasize and solicit novel research in the management of wired-wireless multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Management of multimedia streaming and real-time service delivery Management of wireless ad-hoc/mesh networks Management of NGN/4G networks and services Management of Service Oriented Architectures Management of sensor networks for enhanced multimedia provisioning Middleware for the management of mobile multimedia services Middleware support for seamless mobility of multimedia services Multi-service/multiple-play over IP (voice, video, data and mobility over IP) network management Grid networking for multimedia Cross-layer multimedia management Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks Quality of service management in multimedia and mobile networks Planning and optimization of multimedia and mobile networks IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) operations and management Management of service delivery platforms Management of content distribution networking Distributed multimedia service management Performance evaluation of multimedia and mobile services Wireless/mobile multimedia broadcast/multicast technologies Novel protocols for multimedia services Multi-point and multicast service management Pricing, accounting, and billing for multimedia services Management of trust and security for mobile and multimedia networks and services Self-* properties of multimedia and mobile networks and services Network virtualization for network management and service provisioning Remote over-the-air manageability in mobile networks End-to-end management for multimedia transmission in mobile/wireless networks Mobile platform architecture optimizations for management services Network manageability across heterogeneous wireless networks Novel network architectures for mobile network management services PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original and unpublished research work or experiences.

ACM MobiSys'09 Workshop on Hot Topics of Planet-scale Mobility Measurements (HotPlanet), Krakow, Poland, June 22, 2009 http://www.hotplanetconf.net/ Important dates: Submission deadline: May 15, 2009 Authors notification: June 2, 2009 Camera ready: June 12, 2009 Registration deadline: June 12, 2009 Workshop date: June 22, 2009 Call for papers: It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building mobile systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale mobility data. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data. For instance, the largest publicly available human contact traces contain only 100 very sparsely connected nodes, a limitation of the experimental setup. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. An analogy can be made to the field of complex networks research, which flourished since 1989 when the first large datasets from the Internet (and subsequently the World Wide Web) became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and other related fields, relevant large-scale datasets must be made available. In this workshop, we wish to challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces. We will highlight some of the issues in the hope that the community can help find solutions that can form the basis of practical experiments: the main aim is to raise these issues to gain community support to meet this challenge. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: * Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection * Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets * Existing applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g. human dynamics characterisation and modeling * Reports of planet-scale infrastructure for data collection * Proposed business models to incentivise involvement of network operators in contributing data * Issues concerning privacy and anonymity of data collection * Regulatory and legal issues about data collection The workshop proceedings will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. All submissions must be in English, no more than 6 pages long, two columns (using the ACM templates), no characters smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. Papers will be reviewed single blind. HotPlanet'09 will support a couple of student traveling grants.

[Fwd: [Tccc] E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks]
by Lars Wolf 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks Datum: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:50:47 +0100 Von: <I.Psaras(a)surrey.ac.uk> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <1E7B4639CA370942A3CDE4ACEC1342950FBF6C(a)EVS-EC1-NODE2.surrey.ac.uk> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE Dates: TBA October, 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia (in conjunction with ICUMT 2009) [Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Networking research for challenged environments has attracted a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of going online. Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a one-fits-all protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract-registration Deadline: June 15, 2009 Paper-submission Deadline: June 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal. Page-limits are as follows: Position Papers: 2 pages, Work-in-Progress Papers: 4 pages and Full Papers: 6 pages. Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-spaced, double-column page-style, using 10 pt size fonts on 8.5X11 inch pages. Page-limits include text, figures, references and appendices. A selection of the best papers will be invited for a special issue on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks in the Journal of Internet Engineering [http://www.jie-online.org].
