MMNS 2009: 12th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services ========================================================= http://www.manweek.org/2009/mmns (part of MANWEEK 2009, October 26-30) Telecom Italia Future Centre, Venice, Italy IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Registration Deadline: May 1, 2009 Paper Submission Deadline: May 8, 2009 PDF: http://www.manweek.org/2009/download/cfp/mmns09-cfp.pdf CALL FOR PAPERS The 12th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS) will be held in October 26 - 30, 2009 at the fascinating Telecom Italia Future Centre, in the worldwide known and magnificent Venice, Italy, as part of the 5th International Week on the Management of Networks and Services (Manweek 2009). 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.

Please send it to colleagues and students of potential interest. Thanks! 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.

Mai 2009 MOTIVATION Telekommunikationssysteme haben sich in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt. In immer größerem Maße wurden hardwarebasierte Mechanismen durch Softwaresysteme ersetzt. Durch die zunehmende Verschmelzung von Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen für Sprach- und Datendienste sowie durch die Bereitstellung neuer Dienste entstehen hochkomplexe Systeme, welche schwierig zu beherrschen sind. In gleicher Weise nimmt die Komplexität innerhalb der Netzwerkinfrastrukturen für mobile Telekommunikationsnetze zu. Nutzer erwarten Roaming zwischen verschiedenen Netztechnologien, garantierte Qualitätsparameter, und ubiquitäre Verfügbarkeit von verschiedensten Services und neue Anwendungen. Diese Entwicklungen erfordern neue Ansätze zum Entwurf von Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen und deren Implementierung und Wartung. Der Umbau existierender Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen, bei großen Telekommunikationsunternehmen wie auch innerhalb einzelner Unternehmen, stellt große Herausforderungen an die Informatik. Dieser Workshop soll dazu beitragen, wissenschaftliche und praktische Erfahrungen auszutauschen und gemeinsam nach neuen Wegen zu suchen, wie diese für uns alle kritischen Infrastrukturen durch Methoden und Werkzeuge der Informatik beherrschbar gemacht werden können. THEMEN Mögliche Themen für Workshopbeiträge könnten unter anderem sein: - Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) und Architekturen für integrierte Telekommunikationssysteme und Next-Generation-Networks (NGN) - Neue Methoden und Werkzeuge für den Entwurf und die Simulation von Telekommunikationssoftware - Infrastrukturen und Technologien zur Realisierung von ubiquitären Services - Plattformen und Protokolle für orts- und kontextbezogene Systeme - IP-basierte Multimedia-Protokolle (SIP,..) - Ansätze und Methoden zur Modellierung von komplexen Telekommunikationssystemen - Last-Mile Software-Lösungen - Middleware-Lösungen und Softwarearchitekturen für mobile Netze - Kommunikationsmechanismen und Infrastrukturen für spezielle Anwendungen (z.B.

[Fwd: [Tccc] E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks]

-------- 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.

[Tccc] CFP: GreenMetrics 2009 Workshop (in conjunction with SIGMETRICS/Performance 2009)
by Niklas Carlsson 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

CALL FOR PAPERS -- GreenMetrics 2009 -- May 4 Deadline GreenMetrics 2009 Workshop Held in conjunction with SIGMETRICS/Performance 2009 June 15, 2009 - Seattle, Washington, USA http://conferences.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics/2009/ Global climate change is a topic of increasing importance in modern society. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how improvements to or new uses of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can contribute towards efforts to minimize climate change. In particular, this workshop will provide a forum for discussions on how to reduce the environmental impact of ICT. According to a recent report from the Climate Group, the ICT sector is responsible for 2% of the worldwide carbon footprint. This is roughly equivalent to the carbon footprint of the airline industry. Furthermore, an increase of 50% is predicted for the ICT sector.s carbon footprint by 2020. As regulatory and social pressures increase, organizations will need to take steps to reduce their environmental impact. ICT is expected to be a key sector in the effort to combat climate change, reducing overall carbon emissions by 15% by 2020 (smart2020.org). The workshop will provide an opportunity to explore opportunities for ICT applications or services to reduce the environmental impact of existing non-ICT processes. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from the (traditional) SIGMETRICS community with researchers and practitioners in relevant areas, to exchange technical ideas and experiences on how to lessen the environmental impact of ICT, or how to utilize ICT to lessen the environmental impact of other sectors. Improvements are to be quantified in terms of sustainability metrics such as reduction of carbon emissions. Improvements in sustainability should ideally also demonstrate that acceptable Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be maintained. This workshop will serve as a forum for the SIGMETRICS community to apply general measurement, analysis and modeling techniques to this important area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Measurement and evaluation of the sustainability of existing ICT systems * Definition and demonstration of useful sustainability metrics * Methods that systematically improve the efficiency of existing ICT systems * Tools that facilitate the design of more sustainable ICT systems * Development of models that pertain to the sustainability of ICT systems * Case studies of efforts to improve the sustainability of production ICT systems * Use of ICT systems to improve the sustainability of existing non-ICT processes Preference will be given to work on large-scale systems, e.g., entire data centers or enterprise-scale applications. Important Dates * May 4, 2009: Paper Submission (hard deadline) * May 18, 2009: Author Notification * May 25, 2009: Final Versions Due Submission Guidelines Papers must not exceed five double-column pages in the standard ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submissions must be submitted electronically in printable PDF form, via the EDAS system (http://www.edas.info/). The EDAS system requires you to register the title and abstract of your paper before you can upload the manuscript of the paper. The deadline for the final version of submissions is May 4, 2009, 23:59 EST.

23 Apr '09

(forwarded on behalf of ratul(a)microsoft.com) ACM HotNets-VIII October 22-23, 2009 New York City, NY http://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2009/ Call for Papers The Eighth ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets-VIII) will bring together people with interest in computer networks to engage in a lively debate on theory and practice of networking. Continuing the HotNets tradition, the workshop will provide a venue for presenting and discussing innovative ideas that have the potential to significantly influence the community. The goal is to promote community-wide discussions of those ideas. We invite researchers as well as practitioners to submit a short position paper describing such an idea. The paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose new evaluation methodologies. We especially encourage submissions of early-stage work and enticing but unproven ideas. Once fully developed and evaluated, the work may be relevant to conferences such as SIGCOMM, SOSP, SenSys, MobiCom, PODC, or Infocom. HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This view encompasses all kinds of modern day computer networks, including (but not limited to) home and enterprise networks, ISP networks, sensor and personal area networks, wireless and acoustic networks, data center networks, peer-to-peer networks, and disruption-tolerant networks. It also encompasses all aspects of such networks, including (but not limited to) resource management, economics and evolution, robustness and security, mobility, interactions with applications, energy, measurement and diagnosis, and hardware. Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and a workshop summary will be published in ACM SIGCOMM's Computer Communication Review (CCR), widely disseminating the ideas discussed at the workshop. Workshop Participation HotNets is an invitation-only workshop. To ensure an interactive atmosphere, attendance will be limited to around 60 people. Invitations will be extended per the following priorities: * the Program and Steering Committees, one author per paper, and any speakers invited by the Program Committee * co-authors of accepted and submitted papers, preferring students as available travel support allows * event-sponsor representatives and additional authors of submitted papers at the discretion of the Program Committee Submission Instructions Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages (10 point font, 1 inch margins). All submissions must be blind: submissions must not indicate the names or affiliations of the authors in the paper. Only electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted. Submissions must be written in English, render without error using standard tools (e.g., Acrobat Reader), and print on US-Letter sized paper. HotNets-VIII reviews will follow standard academic practice, although some rejected papers may not receive full-length reviews.

[Fwd: [Tccc] 5th Mobicom Workshop on Challenged Networks (Chants 2009)]
by Lars Wolf 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] 5th Mobicom Workshop on Challenged Networks (Chants 2009) Datum: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 10:19:51 +0200 Von: May Martin <Martin.May(a)thomson.net> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> ------------------------------------------------------- CHANTS 2009 ACM MobiCom 2009 Workshop on Challenged Networks -------------------------------------------------------- Beijing, China September 25, 2009 http://www.thlab.net/chants2009 Scope: ------ Challenged networks are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, intermittent connectivity, and widely varying network conditions. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries with insufficient infrastructure and severe power shortage can be regarded as challenged networks, as can be ad-hoc communication between personal mobile devices; even an overlay network relying on fixed infrastructure might be challenged by a high degree of churn. Challenges are also posed by a very heterogeneous and potentially resource limited nodes, such as mobile phones, space-based nodes, and sensor and actuator nodes. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly unreliable and varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. The Internet protocol architecture suffers when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when connectivity is intermittent, or the link performance is highly variable or extreme, then one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2008, CHANTS 2007, CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with networks that operate under significant challenges as exemplified above; techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions, churn and high delays are also of interest. The focus of this year's workshop will be on experiences with challenged networks, such as experimental results, measurements, implementations, full-system and large-scale simulations, operational experiences, deployment problems, and applications for challenged networks. We specifically solicit papers in these respects for the following areas: * Architecture, design and evaluation of systems that are robust to high rates of nodal churn, unreliable infrastructure, and intermittent connectivity due to for instance high mobility, power saving. * Characterization of performance and security challenges and measurements of challenged networks; performance metrics and measurements thereof; benchmark tests and scenarios of network challenges. * Protocol and application design and evaluation with respect to robustness, security and privacy, as well as quality of service and experience. * Configuration, management, monitoring and adaptivity of systems for challenged networks. Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as architectural papers addressing new concerns. Papers that bring out problems in the existing proposals for challenged networks or that report operational experience will be favored. Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on evolving this area of network research and continuing to build its community. In addition, we seek submission of demo proposals, also to be reviewed by the TPC. The demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable, too. Paper Format and Submission: ---------------------------- Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, two columns, with no characters in 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. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS. Papers will be reviewed single blind.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM U-NET'09 (co-located with ACM CoNEXT) Datum: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 22:55:03 +0100 Von: Paulo Mendes <pmendes(a)inescporto.pt> Antwort an: Paulo Mendes <pmendes(a)inescporto.pt> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu 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

(We apologize for possible multiple copies.) ********************************************************* *** Mobile and Embedded Interactive Systems (MEIS'09) *** *** Workshop @ Informatik 2009 in Lübeck *** *** http://www.hcilab.org/events/meis09 *** ********************************************************* OVERVIEW Interaction with mobile devices and embedded systems has become a part of everyday life. As mobile devices get more complex and embedded systems consist of different components that are networked the creation of usable interactive software poses many new challenges. Issues arise from emerging novel paradigms in user interfaces. In particular tangible interaction, device and interfaces ecologies, and implicit interaction create new requirements for user centered design and system development The workshop on Mobile and Embedded Interactive Systems (MEIS'09) seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are concerned with envisioning, creating, and implementing mobile and embedded interactive systems. The workshop will provide a venue to present novel research in this field and to openly discuss ideas and problems on the topic.

[Tccc] CFP: Journal of Communications Special Issue on Multimedia Computing and Communications
by Zhai, Fan 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Call for Papers: ============================================================================ Journal of Communications, Special Issue on Multimedia Computing and Communications Manuscript Submission Deadline: September 1, 2009 http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/ ============================================================================ The growing momentum behind the deployment of broadband networks worldwide and the convergence of voice, image, video, and data offer unprecedented opportunities for various modern multimedia applications and services such as mobile TV, video conferencing, Internet gaming, interactive TV, IPTV, Open Internet video and multimedia visualization, navigation, search and retrieval. Also, the rising demand for quality service by consumers has expedited the advance of numerous new technologies for computing and communication over wired and wireless networks, ranging from video coding, communication infrastructure, content distribution protocols, quality of service (QoS) management, visual content analysis, post-processing, to interactive models. Novel video source and channel coding techniques such as scalable video coding, multiple description codes, transcoding, and network coding can certainly improve the efficiency of video transmission over the Internet. New communication architectures such as overlay network, content delivery network (CDN), peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed network can further improve video distribution and enable new services. On the other hand, IPTV over managed IP networks not only holds the promise for high quality video viewing experience that is at least as good as what is offered by today's cable/satellite TV, but also introduces new service functionalities such as time-shift viewing and interactivity. In addition, the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) provides a unified framework for multimedia service creation and deployment and supports interoperability and network convergence. Last but not the least, new wireless network technologies and video delivery mechanisms such as IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and the 3G and 4G cellular systems become strong alternatives to their wired counterparts, allowing users to access and produce video at any time and from anywhere. In view of these advances in modern multimedia applications and services, this special issue is soliciting papers with fundamental contributions to multimedia computation and communications, in particular those addressing the challenges due to the limited computation power of client devices, the explosive growth of rich media, the complexity of content analysis and understanding, and the heterogeneity of the transport network. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the following: * Multimedia coding, streaming, and networking * Multimedia transmission networks, systems, and applications * Novel Internet architectures, protocol and algorithms for video distribution * P2P multimedia coding, architecture, and networks * Innovative Internet video, mobile video, and IPTV services * IPTV architectures and standards * QoS management for video streaming and IPTV * Video coding, transcoding, and multiview coding * Joint source-channel video coding * Video quality assessment * Multimedia content analysis, representation, and understanding * Multimedia indexing and retrieval * Multimedia summarization and abstraction * Multimedia and multimodal signal processing, user interfaces, and interaction models Submission: Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Submissions should follow the author guidelines of Journal of Communications and the complete instructions for prospective authors can be found at http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/forauthors.html. For further questions or inquiries, please contact the corresponding guest editor (fzhai(a)ti.com<mailto:fzhai@ti.com>). Important Dates: Submission deadline: September 1, 2009 Author notification: November 15, 2009 Final manuscript due: January 15, 2010 Tentative publication date: 2Q, 2010 Guest Editors: Fan Zhai, Texas Instruments, USA (fzhai(a)ti.com) Homer Chen, National Taiwan University, Taiwan (homer(a)cc.ee.ntu.edu.tw) Thomas Stockhammer, Nomor Research, Germany (stockhammer(a)nomor.de) Touradj Ebrahimi, EPFL, Switzerland (touradj.ebrahimi(a)epfl.ch) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM ReArch'09 (co-located with ACM CoNEXT) Datum: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:46:33 +0300 Von: Lars Eggert <lars.eggert(a)nokia.com> Antwort an: ReArch'09 TPC Co-Chairs <rearch09(a)fit.nokia.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ACM ReArch'09 - Re-Architecting the Internet Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/rearch Submission Deadline: August 6, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 Motivation The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management requirements give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regards to its original design principles. Although these developments are necessary in the short term to allow the Internet to continue to operate under the present economical, technical and social conditions, in combination, they have significantly reduced the potential for longer-term evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives are underway in Europe, the Americas and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. The first solution proposals in this space have already started to be analyzed. ReArch'09 - the second instance of this workshop since its very successful debut at CONeXT 2008 - will discuss the underlying problems of the Internet architecture and protocols and debate how we might fix them in a way that regains us the original architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'09 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, the following impact: * New networking paradigms * New business models * New routing architectures * New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms * Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify architectural limitations * New architecture proposals and their implications for research and operations * New protocols to address specific architectural limitations * Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself * Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture * Principles of evolving future architectures * Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and attempt to stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked as such. Submission must be original and not already be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be formatted according to the standard ACM double column format *except* that *all* text must use a font size of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submit papers via EDAS at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 Submission Deadline: August 6, 2009 Notification Deadline: September 10, 2009 Camera Ready Deadline: October 1, 2009 ReArch'09: December 1, 2009 Committees Workshop Co-Chairs Lars Eggert, Nokia Research Center & TKK, Finland Tilman Wolf, University of Massachusetts, USA Technical Program Committee Bengt Ahlgren, SICS, Sweden Mark Allman, ICSI, USA Bob Briscoe, BT Group, United Kingdom Brian Carpenter, University of Auckland, New Zealand Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Kevin Fall, Intel Research, USA Pierre Francois, UC Louvain, Belgium James Griffioen, University of Kentucky, USA Robert Hancock, Roke Manor Research, United Kingdom Mark Handley, University College London, United Kingdom Hiroaki Harai, NICT, Japan Daniel Massey, Colorado State University, USA Martin May, Thomson Research, France Akihiro Nakao, Univeristy of Tokyo, Japan Pekka Nikander, Ericsson Research Nomadiclab, Finland Craig Partridge, BBN Technologies, USA George Rouskas, North Carolina State University, USA Peter Steenkiste, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Christian Vogt, Ericsson Research, USA Klaus Wehrle, RWTH Aachen, Germany Rolf Winter, NEC Network Labs, Germany Martina Zitterbart, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Steering Committee Marcelo Bagnulo, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain Olivier Bonaventure, UC Louvain, Belgium Kenjiro Cho, IIJ, Japan Joe Touch, USC/ISI, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[All at car-2-car.org] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks"
by Carlos Jesús Bernardos Cano 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Dear all, Please find below information about a special issue very related to the C2C-CC activities. Thank you very much, Carlos IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks" Background Vehicular communications are being applied to improve safety, decrease fuel consumption, and increase the capacity of existing roadways. Both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications are used to implement a number of promising applications such as local hazard warning, efficient route planning and coordination of traffic flows. Even truly cooperative and, therefore, extremely challenging applications like cross traffic collision avoidance are being considered. In the last years a number of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) related projects and initiatives have been carried out (or will be completed soon). In Europe, for example, the European Commission initiated the eSafety Program to reduce the road fatalities by 50% before 2010 and to improve traffic efficiency. These R&D projects have created a solid technical basis for vehicular communications, and some of them have also performed some preliminary experiences, from what some important results have been obtained ("lessons learned"), as for example the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) in the US as well as several projects in Europe. All the aforementioned research efforts and initiatives can be considered as the 'phase 1' in the development of vehicular communications networks. This phase represents an initial and very important step towards the goals of improving road safety and traffic efficiency, and providing Internet services to the vehicles. Important achievements, architectural decisions and conclusions have been the outcome of this 'phase 1', such as the development of wireless physical and MAC protocols suited for the vehicular environment (e.g. IEEE 802.11p), new network architectures (some of them not based on classical TCP/IP), etc. We are now witnessing the 'phase 2' of research and development in vehicular communications networks, a new phase in which standardization and field trials will play a key role, as well as the refinement and extension of the network architectures and protocols defined in the 'phase 1'. Scope and Contributions The goal of this special issue is to share the research developments and efforts of this new phase ('phase 2') in the vehicular communications area. Paper submissions are invited on the following topics: * Overview of state-of-the-art for vehicular communication technologies and open challenges. * Network protocols for cooperative vehicular communications, such as geonetworking (geographical routing and addressing). * Networking aspects for use of 2G/3G cellular systems for vehicular communications. * New system architectures enabling the provision of safety, traffic efficiency and infotainment services in vehicular scenarios. * Security, location privacy and reliability issues. * Integration of IP protocols into the vehicular scenario. * Standardization for vehicular communications worldwide, interoperability and harmonization issues. * Field operational tests (FOTs) for cooperative systems employing vehicular communications networks. * Regulatory aspects. Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the speciality of the article. Prospective authors must prepare their article in accordance with the IEEE Network guidelines to authors, see http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html. Authors should submit their manuscript to the guest editors according to the schedule below (authors are encouraged to notify at least 15 days before deadline, their intention to submit a paper indicating title, abstract, authors and keywords). All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Schedule for Submission Manuscript submission: July 15, 2009 Acceptance notification: September 15, 2009 Final manuscript due: November 1, 2009 Publication date: January 2010 Guest Editors Dr. Carlos J.

Please send it to colleagues and students of potential interest. Thanks! 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM MEDES: Call For Papers Datum: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 18:00:28 +0200 Von: ACM MEDES <acm.medes(a)gmail.com> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear Sorry for Cross-postings ########################################################################################### The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2009) Technically sponsored by both ACM SIGAPP and ACM SIGAPP.fr Chapter Technically sponsored by IEEE SMCS (pending) with the cooperation of IFIP WG 2.6 http://sigappfr.acm.org/medes October 27-30, 2009 Lyon - France Description and Objectives ------------------------------------- In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its ´digital components¡, in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (EDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations, and tutorials and workshops.

In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques 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: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MASS main proceedings and will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation.

[Fwd: [Tccc] SIMPLEX 2009 - Simplifying Complex Networks CFP]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SIMPLEX 2009 - Simplifying Complex Networks CFP Datum: Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:45:09 +0100 Von: Andrew Moore <andrew.moore(a)cl.cam.ac.uk> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call For Papers Simplex 2009 1st Annual Workshop on Simplifying Complex Network for Practitioners http://www.simplexconf.net 1st July 2009, Venice, Italy Network Science, sometimes also called "complex networks science", has recently attracted much attention from the scientific community, mainly due to the almost ubiquitous presence of complex networks in real-world systems. Examples of complex networ ks are found in living organisms, in engineering systems, as well as in social networks. Most of the real-world systems have the required degree of complexity to be called "complex systems". Complex may have to do with the intricate dynamics of the interacting components, with the non-trivial properties of the underlying network topology, or with the sheer size of the system itself. Despite the numerous workshops and conferences related to network science, it is still a set of loosely interacting communities. Those communities would benefit from better interactions. Researchers in network science can be categorized according to the theoretical school from which they come, e.g. statistical physics, game theory, information theory, distributed algorithms. Each school tackles a very particular aspect of complex systems, like statistical interactions between components, or the computation of the equilibrium of a particular system. The assumptions made by each school to apply their theoretical tools makes it very difficult for practitioners to apply their results to practical situations. Simplex is expected to trigger the communication networks community to propose the topics that should be tackled from the network science perspective, and let the network community explain how to best use their tools for practical problems of communication networks. Two types of contributions are foreseen from prospective authors. The first type would consist of use-cases of theoretical tools and methods to solve practical problems. Such contributions should be as usable as possible by practitioners in the related field. The second type of contributions would come from practitioners that have identified a problem that may be solved by tools from network sciences. The point of such contributions is to make the network sciences community aware of the importance of a high-impact problem, and to suggest means by which the problem may be solved by the network sciences community. Both contributions should stimulate interaction between theoreticians and practitioners, and also have high potential impact in either field. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): - Design of wired/wireless networks - Representing and analyzing dynamic networks - Network robustness to failures and attacks - Mining of large scale networks - Forwarding/routing for opportunistic network - Mobility/connectivity modeling - Anti-spam and Sybil attacks All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed 6 pages. After the workshop, proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag.

Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter-networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe), and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2009 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2009/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: SI on "Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems", JISE Datum: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 08:40:44 +0800 (CST) Von: 國立臺北大學資工系陳裕賢教授 <yschen(a)mail.ntpu.edu.tw> Antwort an: yschen(a)mail.ntpu.edu.tw An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br ****************************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ****************************************************************************** *Call For Papers *Journal of Information Science and Engineering (indexed by SCIE) Special Issue on Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems *Aim and Scope: *-------------- With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the Vehicular Wireless Networks (V-Winet) and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems (V-ITS) have recently received much attention. V-Winets and V-ITS aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption with many potential applications. For instance, vehicular safety applications include automatic collision notification, heavy fog detection and notification, remote diagnostics, emergency management, and other assistances for safe driving. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion notification, location-based driver information services, high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile high speed Internet access, in-place traffic view, and many others. To facilitate these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications for V-Winet and V-ITS to provide timely information or Internet access to vehicles, drivers, and passengers.

Re: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on WSNs
by Mischa Dohler 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Dear all, Apologies for cross-postings! The 1 May 2009 submission deadline for this JSAC special issue is coming closer: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Calls/SimpleWirelessSensorNetworkingSolutionsCFP.p… Mischa. _____________________________ Dr Mischa Dohler Senior Researcher CTTC, Barcelona Tel: +34 93 645 2900 Fax: +34 93 645 2901 Mob: +34 6 7909 4007 www.cttc.es/home/mdohler _____________________________ Call for Papers IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) Simple Wireless Sensor Networking Solutions Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in recent years in both industry as well as academia. This is mainly attributed to the unprecedented opportunities they offer. However, WSNs also face significant design challenges, including their limited computing abilities and their dependence on finite battery energy. A major obstacle to the ubiquitous deployment of WSNs is the absence of reliable and easy-to-implement communication stacks. The main design criteria are thus to lower algorithmic complexity to facilitate low-power solutions that can be embedded into low-cost microprocessors, and to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable and efficient communications from sensor nodes to other nodes as well as to data sinks. Such stringent design requirements can be met by a plethora of approaches, e.g., using cross-layer design paradigms, distributed signal processing algorithms, energy-efficient medium access control, fault-tolerant routing protocols, self-organizing and self-healing sensor network mechanisms and reliable data aggregation algorithms, among others. Viable solutions will impact both commercial activities as well as standardization approaches, including IEEE 802.15.4, IETF ROLL, Wireless HART and WOSA. In light of the above, the main purpose of this special issue is twofold: * to promote novel approaches in analyzing, designing and optimizing large-scale energy and complexity constrained WSNs, and * to expose novel, readily deployable protocol solutions that are of low complexity and hence facilitate very cheap network deployment and maintenance, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a useful and practically viable wireless sensor networking solution. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - performance bounds (link and network capacity, with and without imperfections, etc.) - data centric approaches (data fusion, aggregation, source coding, signal processing, etc.) - protocol centric approaches (novel PHY, MAC and networking paradigms, etc.) - cross-layer and cross-functionality designs (joint source/channel coding, etc.) - cooperative and distributed algorithms (cooperative PHY, distributed signal processing, etc.) - key functionalities (security, localization, self-*, synch., abstraction, ease of programming, etc.) - interdisciplinary approaches (principles borrowed from physics, etc.) Papers must be tailored to the problems of WSNs and explicitly consider complexity and energy constraints. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE-JSAC guidelines (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7029&) according to the timetable below. Important Dates: Submission deadline: 1 May 2009 Author Notification: 1 November 2009 Final Manuscript: 15 February 2010 Publication: Q3 2010 Guest Editors: Mischa Dohler CTTC, Barcelona, Spain (mischa.dohler at cttc.es) Kris Pister Berkeley, USA (pister at eecs.berkeley.edu) Wendi Heinzelman University of Rochester, USA (wheinzel at ece.rochester.edu) Mani Srivastava UCLA, USA (mbs at ucla.edu) Ivan Stojmenovic University of Ottawa, Canada (stojmenovic at storm.ca) Kay Römer ETH Zurich, Switzerland (roemer at inf.ethz.ch) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

The decreasing cost and increasing access to information and communication technologies (e.g., mobile phones) are rapidly enabling access to new services and markets for previously disconnected populations. However, due to a variety of factors, including cost, literacy, education, and organizational capacity, conventional approaches to technology design and implementation are often not relevant. Moreover, empirical evidence for the impact of such technologies is largely anecdotal, beyond a few well-known and well-cited examples. Addressing this requires engagement of several disciplines, including but not limited to economics, sociology, anthropology, and political science, and expertise in a variety of application areas - including government, health, finance and agriculture. NSDR focuses on addressing significant technical challenges (e.g., communication infrastructure in rural areas, novel caching techniques for challenged networks, security issues arising in such contexts), and on the deployment and evaluation of novel technologies or applications that address a specific need (e.g. providing remote financial services or health care). ** Papers ** We encourage submission of position papers or the results of preliminary work describing interesting, original, previously unpublished ideas or results pertaining to the design, implementation and/or evaluation of networks and systems for developing regions. Accepted papers will: - propose new research directions; - target a specific application; - inform design and/or deployment; - or generate lively debate at the workshop. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Low-cost wireless connectivity - Intermittent systems - Power-efficient systems - Low-cost computing devices - Mobile systems and applications - Adapting content and applications for local languages - User interfaces for low-literacy populations - Design and evaluation of applications for public health, microfinance, agriculture, e-governance, education, monitoring, disaster management, etc. ** Submission ** Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages (six pages) in length (including figures and references), must be a PDF file, and must follow formatting guidelines and instructions at http://www.dritte.org/nsdr09/submit.html. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Reviews will be SINGLE-BLIND: authors' names and affiliations should be included in the submission. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference or journal. ** Program Committee ** Vivek Pai, Princeton (co-chair) Tapan Parikh, UC Berkeley (co-chair) Muneeb Ali, Princeton John Bennett, Colorado Gaetano Borriello, U.

[Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009)-Extended Submission Deadline on April 6, 2009
by Chia Ching Ooi 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. =================================================== Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009) http://cone.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/wewsn09/ In conjuction with DCOSS 2009 Marina Del Rey, California, 10 June 2009 =================================================== Wireless sensor networks offer a wealth of capabilities for interfacing the physical world with applications in environmental, industrial, and medical domains. A typical wireless sensor network is expected to work without human intervention for a long time period. Hence, energy efficiency is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks in order to achieve maximum network lifetime. Due to the energy constraints of sensor devices, communication protocols and hardware architectures for wireless sensor networks necessitate an energy-aware design to ensure the longevity of the network. While most wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices, new technologies such as energy harvesting have gained much attention in the research community recently. In addition, each layer of the communication protocol stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy with consideration of the hardware's capabilities to minimize energy expenditure. WEWSN intends to bring together the researchers working on various topics in wireless sensor networks with relation to energy. It will be held as a one-day workshop in conjunction with DCOSS'09, co-located with several related workshops on special topics in wireless networking, thus providing an ideal venue for researchers to share their ideas and discuss their latest research work. Scope Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to energy in wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following featured topics: * Architectures and protocols for energy management * Energy-aware data gathering and routing protocols * Wake-up scheduling algorithms * Duty cycle management * Data aggregation, conservation, optimization * Energy models for analysis and simulation * Resource management * Energy scavenging, energy harvesting * Coverage and connectivity algorithms * Cross-layer optimization * Energy and bandwidth efficient distributed signal processing * Medium access control and topology control * Error control protocols and fault-tolerance * Traffic management and congestion control * Energy-efficient system services (e.g. localization, time synchronization) * WSN hardware and operating systems Paper Submission Instructions We only accept original papers that have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submitted papers must conform to the IEEE-Transactions format and should not exceed 8 pages. All submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair.
