[Tccc] Final CFP RAWNET/WCN3: Extended deadline
by Laura Cottatellucci 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Dear Colleagues, Due to many requests, the deadline for abstract submission to RAWNET/WCN3 2009 has been extended to March 15, 2009. For more information please visit: http://www.rawnet.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET/WNC3 2009 The 5th workshop on Resource Allocation, Cooperation and Competition in Wireless Networks in conjunction with WiOpt'09 the 7th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks June 27, 2009, Seoul, Korea http://www.rawnet.org Full Papers due: March 15, 2009 (updated deadline) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Future telecommunications networks are expected to provide very high data rates, seamless connections, at higher and often heterogeneous quality-of-service levels, in scenarios with ever increasing mobility. In order to meet these requirements, new generation wireless networks go beyond the classical paradigms of cellular networks and are based on complex interactions. In this scenario, efficient allocation of the available resources and/or cooperation, and/or competition play a strategic fundamental role to increase and optimize communication performance of individual nodes or of the global network, and efficiently exploit the available frequency spectrum eventually admitting unlicensed users. This fueled a vibrant flurry of studies in cooperative communications, spectrum management (cognitive radio), and resource allocation. The investigations involve researchers and technicians from the physical, to the networking layers and above and eventually promote joint design within different layers (cross-layer design). Analysis and design of the complex interactions in future communications networks requires contributions from a variety of disciplines, which span from information theory to statistical physics, game theory, optimization, non-commutative algebras and so forth. The workshop promotes the applications of new methodologies in this field with the aim of providing the participants advanced and innovative tools able to catch the fundamental dynamics of complex interactions. It fosters the presentation of new cooperative protocols and new schemes for resource allocation, novel results in the investigation of the theoretical limits and fundamental tradeoffs between competition and cooperation. The applications can steam from any wireless scenario, from multicell networks to sensor and relay networks, cognitive radio or ad-hoc network. In fact, object of the workshop is to provide the participant with a comprehensive, thorough, and unified vision of the resource allocation issue in complex multiuser and multiprovider networks regulated by cooperation and competition. --------------------------- KEYNOTE TALKS --------------------------- * Prof. Anthony Ephremides (University of Maryland) COOPERATION AT THE NETWORK LEVEL * Prof. Gerhard Kramer (University of Southern California) CODING FOR COOPERATION AND RELAYING --------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------- * User scheduling (single cell/multicell/OFDMA/relay-multihoping network); ² Cross-layer design; ² Power-control and energy e±cient communications; ² Resource allocation-based interference mitigation; ² Cooperation schemes for interference control, coverage extension (multicell, multihop cooperation); ² Game theoretic resource allocation; ² Spectrum management, i.e. resource allocation in cognitive radio; ² Pricing based, auction based schemes in ad-hoc/cellular networks; ² Fairness vs performance issues; ² Relay selection, cooperative group optimization and resource allocation; ² Scaling laws and information theoretic bounds; ² Diversity/multiplexing trade-o®s of cooperation protocols; ² Effect of partial and incomplete channel state information in cooperative systems, and robust designs; ² Practical issues in cooperation strategies for mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks. --------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------- Submission Deadline (extended): March 15, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: April 1, 2009 Camera-ready Manuscripts: May 1, 2009 --------------------------- Submission Guidelines --------------------------- The submission will be handled electronically via EasyChair system at https://www.easychair.org/.

[Tccc] CFP: GeoSensor Networks 2009, Oxford, UK
by Andrew Markham 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS GEOSENSOR NETWORKS 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13-14 July 2009, Oxford, United Kingdom Website: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/geosensornetworks/ Sponsored by: University of Oxford Papers to be published by Springer in the "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) series. They will also be indexed electronically on SpringerLink. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Geosensor networks shift the traditional centralized paradigm of monitoring a geographical area from the macroscale to the microscale, by using distributed sensors to measure variables of interest (such as environmental, biological and chemical variables, seismic activity and geolocated videofeeds). Whilst having the ability to provide data with unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, geosensor networks have pushed the frontiers of traditional GIS research into the realms of computer science, introducing issues such as data fusion, geolocated queries, energy efficient data collection and data mining and interpretation. The incorporation of mobile devices into these networks allows data acquisition to be undertaken on a spatially varying sampling resolution, introducing new research avenues such as co-operative sensing and dynamic coverage. Furthermore, geosensor networks are not only constrained to passively monitor a region, through actuators, they also have the ability to influence or modify their environment. Research in geosensor networks spans multiple fields, ranging from strategies for intelligent data acquisition to virtual reality interactions with environmental dynamics. Of particular interest are applications of geosensor networks, such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, early warning systems and wildlife tracking. This workshop seeks to address these issues, by bringing together leading experts in a two day forum to present novel research and exchange ideas relating to the state of the art and its future directions. Real world results are particularly welcomed, as are reports of interesting or challenging deployments. KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Bhaskar Krishnamachari (USC) Andreas Savvides (Yale) IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submission: 3 April 2009 Notification of Acceptance: 27 April 2009 Camera Ready Papers Due: 5 May 2009 Conference: 13-14 July 2009 TOPICS Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following as they relate to spatio-temporal applications and geosensor networks: * Data mining across sensor themes * Modeling spatio-temporal data streams * Data stream processing * Handling uncertainty and imprecision in geospatial data * Intelligent sensors/sensor fusion * Location-based queries * Middleware for pervasive computing * Mobile computing * Co-operative sensing and organization * Peer-to-peer collaboration strategies using geospatial information * Queries (aggregate and statistical) and reasoning over data streams * Query optimization over sensor networks * Real-time updating of geospatial databases * Sensor information management systems * Spatiotemporal sensor data mining * Video and motion imagery analysis for real-time scene and event modeling and monitoring * Virtual modeling of large geographic areas * Time geography * Privacy, geo-privacy * Sensor networks and interaction with actuators * Applications of geosensor networks (e.g. disaster management, early warning systems, environmental monitoring) * Real world deployments, issues, challenges and results PAPER SUBMISSION: - Papers should not exceed 10 pages/LNCS format: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html - Link to submission and more instructions can be found on the conference website ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: General chair: - Niki Trigoni, University of Oxford Steering committee: - Silvia Nittel, University of Maine - Alex Labrinidis, University of Pittsburgh - Niki Trigoni, University of Oxford Publicity chair: - Andrew Markham, University of Oxford PROGRAM COMMITTEE: - Alastair Beresford, University of Cambridge, UK - Ioannis Chatzigiannakis, University of Patras, Greece - Antonios Deligiannakis, Technical University of Crete, Greece - Dinos Ferentinos, University of Athens, Greece - Alvaro Fernandes, University of Manchester, UK - Vana Kalogeraki, University of California, Riverside, USA - Yannis Kotidis ,Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece - Antonio Kruger, University of Muenster, Germany - Lars Kulik, University of Melbourne, Australia - Andrew Markham, University of Oxford, UK - Kirk Martinez, University of Southampton, UK - Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge, UK - Peter Pietzuch, Imperial College London, UK - Monika Sester, LUH, Germany - Egemen Tanin, University of Melbourne, Australia - Theodore Tsiligiridis, Agricultural University of Athens, Greece - Niki Trigoni, University of Oxford, UK (Chair) - Peter Widmayer, ETH, Switzerland - Mike Worboys, University of Maine, USA - Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, UK _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: [Tccc] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications]
by Lars Wolf 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications Datum: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 11:32:21 +0000 Von: Joel Rodrigues <joeljr(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture, and Applications Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are designed to address networks that exhibit intermittent connectivity. In general DTN architecture can be defined by one or more of the following characteristics: (a) sparse connectivity (i. e., end-to-end route between source and destination may not even exist); (b) long or variable delay; (c) asymmetric data rate; and (d) high error rate. Such characteristics can be results of various factors, including sever power fluctuations, wireless range, network partitioning, catastrophic disasters, or malicious attacks. Consequently, applications of DTNs are highly diverse and can be expanded to a wide variety of areas. Examples of such areas are interplanetary networks for deep space communications, sensor networks for ecological monitoring, transient networks to benefit developing communities, ad hoc networks to disseminate information in tactical or roadway environments, and disaster recovery networks to restore communications following a natural disaster. Diversity of network environments and inherent uncertainty about network conditions make design of DTNs highly challenging in terms of architecture, protocol designs, interoperability, security, management, and stability. We hope this special issue can address some of these issues and further stimulate activity in the research community. The goal of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the- art research contributions that address the various aspects of delay/disruption tolerant communications, networks, architecture, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multicasting and broadcasting * Routing protocols for stochastic and deterministic time evolving networks * Integration with other systems and networks, such as free-space optical communications systems, MANET, VANET, C2C, Deep space, Acoustic Underwater, ad hoc, sensor/actuator networks * Models for rural connectivity and disconnected ad hoc networks * Multimedia and web searching * Hybrid DTN * Security, stability, survivability, and interoperability * Wireless DTN technologies, including RF, UWB, free-space optical, and acoustic * Network architecture and design, including link technology and node design * Applications, testbeds, and implementations * Management, configuration, QoS, and authentication * User mobility support, naming, and addressing * Protocols and overlay architecture * Delay tolerant networks and energy efficiency * Economic models and feasibility SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers should be submitted as PDF format electronically to joeljr(a)ieee.org with a Subject of SI/JCM. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts following the standard review process of the Journal of Communications to ensure the high quality of the special issue of the journal. Further information on Journal of Communications can be found at: http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/ .

I am looking forward to a contribution from you or your group and hope to see you in linz in september 2009! All the best, Gabriele Kotsis *ISWC'09 CALL FOR PAPERS* ISWC'09, the thirteenth annual IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers, is the premier forum for wearable computing and issues related to on-body and worn mobile technologies. ISWC'09 will bring together researchers, product vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users, and related professionals to share information and advances in wearable computing. ISWC'09 explicitly aims to broaden its scope to include cell phones and cell phone applications as they have become the most successful wearable computer to date. ISWC'09 invites to submit original work in one or more of the following formats: full papers, notes, posters, late breaking results, demonstrations, videos, tutorials and workshops. As already successfully performed in the past, this year's ISWC also invites for a contest of wearable system designs, encouraging academic and industrial design, media and art authorities to submit conceptual work in a creative, inspiring, innovative and future oriented style. For first time, ISWC'09 will publish adjunct proceedings which will include the late breaking results, video papers, demonstrations, design papers of selected workshops. *Wearable Systems* - Wearable system design, wearable displays and electronic textiles - Wearable sensors, actuators, input/output devices and power management systems - Interaction design, industrial design of wearable systems - Wearable sensor networks for sensing context-awareness, activity or cognitive state - Software and service architectures, infrastructure based as well as ad-hoc systems - Operating systems issues related to wearable computing, including issues such as dependability, fault-tolerance, security, trustworthiness and power management - Networks, including wireless networks, on-body networks, and support for interaction with other wearables, pervasive and ubiquitous computing systems or the Internet - Cooperative wearables, ensembles of wearable artefacts, coordination or wearables - Techniques for power management and heat dissipation, and manufacturing issues *Usability, HCI and Human Factors in Wearable Computing* - Human factors issues with and ergonomics of body worn computing systems - User modeling, user evaluation, usability engineering of wearable systems - Systems and designs for combining wearable and pervasive/ubiquitous computing - Interfaces, including hands-free approaches, speech-based interaction, sensory augmentation, haptics, and human- centered robotics - Social implications, health risk, environmental and privacy issues - Wearable technology for social-network computing, visualization and augmentation - Experience design *Applications of Wearable Systems* - Wearable systems in consumer, industrial, work, manufacturing, environmental, educational, medical, sports, wellness, health care and ambient assisted living domains - Wearable systems in culture, fashion and the arts - Smart clothing, for people with disabilities, and for elderly enablement - Use of wearable computers as components of larger systems, such as augmented reality systems, training systems and systems designed to support collaborative work - Formal evaluation of performance of wearable computer technologies, and comparisons with existing technologies *Mobile Phones as Wearables* - Mobile applications designed for / delivered through cell phones - Cell phone services, cell phone designs, cell phones as personal computers - Cell phone technologies, e.g. combining short and long range radios, multimedia streaming - Extending cell phone hardware e.g. sensing, novel IO modalities, embeddings - Cell phone interaction, cooperative cell phones, grids and clouds of cell phones - Studies based on cell phone deployments (especially large scale) *SUBMISSIONS* *Full Papers* Regular paper submissions must present original, highly innovative, prospective and forward-looking research in one or more of the themes given above. Full papers must break new ground, present new insight, deliver a significant research contribution and provide validated support for its results and conclusions. Successful submissions typically represent a major advance for the field of wearable computing, referencing and relating the contribution to existing research work, giving a comprehensive, detailed and understandable explanation of a device, system, study, theory or method, and support the findings with a compelling evaluation and/or validation. Each paper must be submitted as a single PDF file in IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5x11 inch two-column format (not longer than eight pages in length). Accepted regular papers will be included in the printed conference main proceedings and presented in the paper sessions. Submissions to ISWC'09 must not be under review by any other conference or publication during the ISWC review cycle, and must not be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere. *Notes and Posters* Notes (not longer than four pages in length) and posters (not longer than two pages in length) must report new results and provide support for the results as a novel and valuable contribution to the field - just like full papers. Notes are intended for succinct work that is nonetheless in a mature state ready for inclusion in archival proceedings. Posters are intended to present very concise, yet focused and significant research results. Both notes and posters will be held to the same standard of scientific quality as full papers, albeit for a shorter presentation, and must still state how they fit with respect to related work, and provide a compelling explanation and validation. Notes and posters must be submitted as single PDF file in IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5x11-inch two-column format. Accepted notes and posters will be published in the conference main proceedings. Notes will be presented in the paper sessions of the conference, posters will be presented at the conference poster and demonstration session. *Late Breaking Results* This submission format aims at presenting very topical issues and late breaking application oriented results in all areas of wearable computing. Just like regular papers, late breaking results should present directing research, but in a very focused and compact format. Late breaking results are not understood as short papers condensed into less page space, but are intended to present pointed results at a high level of technicality. LBR submissions can gain from an "extended submission deadline" (May 18, 2009), and should be formatted in Springer LNCS single column format, not exceeding 8 pages). They will undergo a scientific reviewing process managed by the LBR program committee under the steering of the LBR chair. Accepted LBRs will be presented at the conference, and will be published in the "Advances in Wearable Computing" book of the OCG (adjunct proceedings), accompanying the conference proceedings. *Video Papers* Submissions are invited to present novel wearable computing systems, devices or just designs, or demonstrate innovative styles of interaction or usability of those systems - in a lively format: as a video. Video clips should be no longer than 8 minutes and be accompanied by a 4 page (or approx. 2000 words) written summary. Video paper submissions should be formatted in Springer LNCS single column format, and not exceeding 4 pages). Accepted video papers will be published in the "Advances in Wearable Computing" book of the OCG, accompanying the conference proceedings. The author(s) of a video are expected to present a brief introduction at the conference, while all full videos will be presented during the ISWC'09 night show - a special event in the frame of the 30th anniversary of the Ars Electronica Festival. Video papers will be published in the ISWC'09 adjunct proceedings, all video clips will be presented in the ISWC'09 Video DVD. *Reviewing Process for Papers, Notes, Posters, LBRs and Videos* ISWC'09 will adopt a double-blind process for full papers, notes and posters - as well as for late breaking results and video papers.

26 Feb '09

CALL FOR PAPERS: EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE S-CUBE 2009 The first international conference on Sensor Systems and Software September 7-9, 2009 - Pisa, Italy http:// www.s-cubeconference.org Sponsored by ICST S-CUBE - the First Conference on wireless Sensor network (WSN) Systems and Software - provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing system development and software support for wireless sensor networks based systems that have the potential to impact society in many ways. Currently, wireless sensor networks introduce innovative and interesting application scenarios that may support a large amount of different applications including environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, building automation, object tracking, nuclear reactor control, fire detection, agriculture, healthcare, and traffic monitoring. The widespread acceptance of these new services can be improved by the definition of frameworks and architectures that have the potential to radically simplify software development for wireless sensor network based applications. The aim of these new architectures is to support flexible, scalable programming of applications based on adaptive middleware. As a consequence, WSNs require novel programming paradigms and technologies. Moreover the design of new complex systems, characterized by the interaction of different and heterogeneous resources, will allow the development of innovative applications that meet high performance goals. Hence, WSNs require contributions from many fields such as embedded systems, distributed systems, data management, system security and applications. The conference places emphasis on layers well above the traditional MAC and routing, and transport layer protocols. The aim of the conference is to create a forum in which researchers from academia and industry, practitioners, business leaders, intellectual property experts and venture capitalists may work together in order to compare and debate different innovative solutions. The conference will feature a highly selective technical program consisting of regular papers, short papers, and posters as well as specialized tracks at the intersection of business and technology. Topics Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. The specific topics of the conference, related to wireless sensor networks and wireless multimedia sensor networks, include but are not limited to: * Sensor Application Programming Paradigms * Sensor Application Development Support Systems * Sensor Network Middleware * Novel Sensor Applications * Sensor Prototypes & Testbeds * Underwater and underground wireless sensor networking * Cooperative sensing * Capacity planning and admission control, especially for multimedia sensor networks * Resource management and QoS Provisioning * Resource and service discovery * Self organization and network management * Security, Privacy & Trust * P2P, overlay, and content distribution architectures for sensor networks * Mobile sensor networking, Vehicular sensor networks and protocols * Pervasive/embedded solutions * Data models oriented to wireless distributed applications * Distributed coordination algorithms including clustering and topology control * Localization, time synchronization, coverage, connectivity and deployment issues * Network Management and monitoring * Modelling, analysis and performance evaluation * Mesh networking connectivity to sensor networks Important Dates * EXTENDED PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 20th, 2009 * Notification of Acceptance: May 30th, 2009 * Camera Ready Deadline: July 1st, 2009 Publication The proceedings of S-Cube 2009 will be published by Springer as part of the new series Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (LNICST) and will be available through Springer's digital library.

[Fwd: [Tccc] ACM TOMACS Special Issue on Modeling and Simulation of Cross-Layer Interactions in Communication Networks]
by Lars Wolf 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM TOMACS Special Issue on Modeling and Simulation of Cross-Layer Interactions in Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:16:44 +0100 Von: Fabrizio Granelli <granelli(a)disi.unitn.it> An: csim(a)comsoc.org, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, taos(a)comsoc.org ACM TOMACS Special Issue – Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------- Modeling and Simulation of Cross-Layer Interactions in Communication Networks Guest Editors: Fabrizio Granelli and Michael Devetsikiotis Submission deadline: April 30th, 2009 Cross-layering represents an important emerging design approach to overcome limitations and lack of flexibility of the layering principle, which is the basis of today’s communication networks. Indeed, in specific scenarios such as Quality-of-Service provisioning and wireless networks deeper integration and interaction among different layers is envisaged. Despite the wide-spread adoption of the general cross layer design principle, not much attention has been placed on solid, quantitative, systematic study of the system behaviour and interactions among different protocols at different layers. In fact, even if several cross-layering architectures are available in the literature, only a few works face the problem of providing frameworks for modeling cross-layering interactions and support the definition of cross-layering solutions. Quantitative cross-layer formulations and models are still needed to effectively provide guidelines on the impact of the design parameters in terms of overall system performance. Simulation based methods represent indispensable tools to provide further in-sight in this direction, given the analytical intractability of the full cross layer complex system. Indeed, specific modeling techniques need to be at the “top” of the performance evaluation process for cross-layer systems, and properly studied using formal principles, with strong support from simulation analysis to capture the subtle interactions across the layers. The special issue is aimed at gathering novel contributions in the development of models for cross- layering interactions and computational solutions. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions (not submitted for publication elsewhere) on the following topics: - modeling and simulation of cross-layering interactions - modeling and simulation of cross-layering processes - modeling and abstraction of cross-layer functionalities - architectural models for cross-layering signalling - sensitivity analysis, derivative approximation and simulation-based optimization - model-based cross-layer system optimization - cross layer simulation implementation issues - simulation environments for analysis of cross-layer interactions - verification of cross-layer models and simulations - cross-layer systems experimental trials and testbeds Full papers that are associated with workshop presentations are eligible to be submitted to this special issue. Papers are to be submitted by April 30th, 2009, through the ACM ToMaCS WWW site, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tomacs.

With several appealing characteristics, such as dynamic self-configuration, self-organization, self-healing, easy maintenance, and high scalability, wireless mesh networks have been prodded as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home, enterprise, and community networking. Wireless ad-hoc networks have also shown applications in a variety of situations, such as battlefields, disaster recovery/rescue operations, and entertainment. At the same time, wireless sensor networks are being deployed and actively researched for various forms of environmental monitoring, home automation, military, and civilian applications. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in wireless networking, many research issues remain open in all protocol layers of wireless mesh, ad hoc and sensor networks. For example, the foreseen multi-channel, multi-radio, and multi-antenna hybrid architectures (infrastructure and ad hoc) have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios are urging researchers to address enhanced quality of service support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh, ad hoc, and sensor networks.

[Mycolleagues] Wiley WCMC Call for Papers Special Issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Wireless Mesh, Ad Hoc, and Sensor Networks"
by Matthias Frank 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= Special Issue Call for Papers Wiley Interscience - Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Special Issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Wireless Mesh, Ad Hoc, and Sensor Networks" During the last few years, we have witnessed a tremendous interest from academia, industry, and standardization bodies in wireless mesh, ad hoc and sensor networking. With several appealing characteristics, such as dynamic self-configuration, self-organization, self-healing, easy maintenance, and high scalability, wireless mesh networks have been prodded as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home, enterprise, and community networking. Wireless ad-hoc networks have also shown applications in a variety of situations, such as battlefields, disaster recovery/rescue operations, and entertainment. At the same time, wireless sensor networks are being deployed and actively researched for various forms of environmental monitoring, home automation, military, and civilian applications. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in wireless networking, many research issues remain open in all protocol layers of wireless mesh, ad hoc and sensor networks. For example, the foreseen multi-channel, multi-radio, and multi-antenna hybrid architectures (infrastructure and ad hoc) have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios are urging researchers to address enhanced quality of service support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh, ad hoc, and sensor networks. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in architectures and protocols of wireless mesh, ad hoc, and sensor networks. Papers describing architectures, protocols, evaluation methods, and experimental studies are solicited in the following topics of interest (not limited to): - Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh, ad hoc, and sensor networking - Cognitive Radio Networks - Quality of Services provisioning - MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) - Network deployment, localization, and synchronization protocols - Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols - Topology construction and maintenance - Cross layer optimization - Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols - Novel applications and coexisting of mesh, ad hoc, and networks - Vehicular ad hoc networks - Wireless sensor networks and applications to intelligent living and robotics - Test-bed, prototype, and practical systems Guest Editors: Farid Naït-Abdesselam, University of Lille, France.

24 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ExtremeCom - Extreme Workshop on Communication - The Midnight Sun Expedition Datum: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 11:39:28 -0000 Von: Eiko Yoneki <eiko.yoneki(a)cl.cam.ac.uk> Antwort an: eiko.yoneki(a)cl.cam.ac.uk Organisation: University of Cambridge An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] ExtremeCom 2009 - http://www.extremecom.org Call for Papers and Demos for 1st Extreme Workshop on Communication - The Midnight Sun Expedition The Extreme Workshop on Communication (ExtremeCom) intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas related to delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms for rural and remote areas, in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. We aim to do this through real-life experience in the Arctic Circle region. The Padjelanta national park in Laponia, Sweden is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the home of the Saami population of semi-nomadic reindeer herders. Due to the lack of infrastructure in this area, a DTN-based networking system for the area has been developed by the SNC and N4C projects. During the summer of 2009, the fourth summer of deployment and testing for this system will take place, which makes this a unique opportunity to experience a real deployment of a DTN system. The workshop will start with a 5 day field trip into the mountain regions where the DTN system is deployed. During this time, participants will be given the opportunity to hike along the trails in the mountains and visit the Saami settlements to meet the local population and users of the system. Not only will this give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such a system, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. (We are currently planning the mountain-based part of the workshop together with the local population, and some details are subject to change.) Upon reaching the end of the hike, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos in a more traditional conference venue. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. Participants should submit 2-page position papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the workshop or demo proposals to be shown during the workshop. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the workshop are especially solicited. The aim of the workshop is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Networked applications and services Due to logistics and the need to conduct the workshop in harmony with the local population and the environment, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers. Important dates --------------- Workshop dates: August 8-14, 2009 Submission deadline: April 10, 2009 Notification of acceptance: April 24, 2009 Registration deadline: May 10, 2009 Organizers ---------- General co-chairs: Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Local arrangements: Karin Kuoljok, Tannak AB, Sweden Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Susanne Spik, Tannak AB, Sweden Maria Uden, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Publicity chair: Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, UK Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St. Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Bengt Ahlgren, Swedish Insitute of Computer Science Kevin Almeroth, University of California Santa Barbara, USA Elizabeth M.

This workshop concentrates on such network layer problems as 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 approaches 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. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on various aspects of localized algorithms and protocols in this rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Localized unicast and multicast routing protocols - Localized broadcasting algorithms - Localized QoS communication protocols - Localized geocasting protocols - Localized clustering algorithms - Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks - Localized auto-configuration and network formation algorithms - Topology construction and maintenance based on local information - Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient communication - Relative positioning algorithms based on local information - Network graph properties supporting localized protocols - Localized algorithms for data management and query - Localized incentive schemes for selfish wireless networks - Localized algorithms in delay/disruption tolerant networks - Security based on local information in wireless sensor networks - Bounds analysis in localized solutions - Worst and average case analysis in localized algorithms IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: March 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: April 15, 2009 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: May 8, 2009 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages.

[Tccc] NetEval 2009- The First Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Next-Generation Networks, Boston MA, Submission deadline March 6
by Yan Luo 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS NetEval 2009 - The First Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Next-Generation Networks April 26, 2009 Boston, MA, USA http://cans.uml.edu/neteval2009.html Co-located with IEEE ISPASS'09 http://www.ispass.org/ispass2009/ The design and prototyping of the next-generation Internet has been an active research area in the networking community. Significant efforts have been devoted to revise many aspects of current network design including network architecture, network protocols, security and privacy, and service abstractions. The development of experimental network testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab, Emulab, GENI, etc.) has allowed researchers to evaluate and verify innovative designs through realistic experiments at a global scale. The design of the next-generation Internet also draws a great deal of interest from the computer architecture research community. The introduction of virtualization and programmability in router systems requires high performance embedded processing elements. Network processors, FPGAs, and multi-core processors play important roles in modern routers and switches. The expanding functionality of the next-generation Internet and the increasing complexity of its router systems pose a novel challenge for performance evaluation. Researchers and developers involved in designing and implementing new network architectures, router systems, and network applications need the ability to thoroughly evaluate and quantitatively compare the performance of these systems. Currently, there are no established evaluation methodologies, benchmark network topologies, or application workloads to guide the performance evaluation process in next-generation networks. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the networking, computer architecture, and performance evaluation communities to describe, discuss, and advance the state of the art in performance evaluation of next-generation networks. The workshop solicits papers that cover analytic, simulation-based, and measurement-based performance evaluation topics in this area. Since this workshop focuses on next-generation networks, we envision that papers relate to either 1. performance evaluation techniques in next-generation networks or 2. specific performance evaluation studies of next-generation networks and their systems. *** Topics *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Performance evaluation techniques for next-generation networks. * Active and passive measurement in next-generation networks. * Design and prototypes of network measurement systems and tools. * Performance metrics, analysis, and optimization for next- generation networks. * Performance evaluation of network processing systems based on network processors, FPGAs, or multi-core processors. * Performance studies of high performance and programmable routers * Benchmarks of next-generation network applications * Performance techniques and studies related to network virtualization. * Performance techniques and studies related to network security. * Performance techniques and studies related to cross-layer optimization. * Performance evaluation related to GENI and other next- generation network testbeds. * Prototypes and techniques for network trace collection and analysis in next-generation networks *** Submission Instructions *** The workshop welcomes original papers from academia and industry on work related to the above topics. Position papers are welcome and should be identified as such in the title. Submissions must not exceed 6 pages in length, must follow the IEEE conference paper formatting guidelines for US letter page size (http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confer enceTemplates.html), and must be submitted as PDF file. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration. 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. Papers can be submitted through the EDAS submission site at http:// www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7336& . *** Important Dates *** Abstract submissions due Friday, Feb 27, 2009 Paper submissions due Friday, Mar 6, 2009 Notification of acceptance Monday, Mar 30, 2009 Camera ready version due Friday, Apr 10, 2009 Workshop date Sunday, Apr 26, 2009 *** Workshop Organizers *** Yan Luo, UMass Lowell Tilman Wolf, UMass Amherst *** Program Committee *** Paul Barford, University of Wisconsin-Madison Laxmi Bhuyan, UC Riverside Mark Crovella, Boston University James Griffioen, University of Kentucky Yu Gu, NEC Laboratories America Gianluca Iannacone, Intel Research Berkeley Raj Jain, Washington University in St. Louis Srihari Makineni, Intel Corporation Ning Weng, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale Li Zhao, Intel Corporation ----------- END of CFP NETEVAL 2009 -------------------- Yan Luo, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Univ. of Massachusetts Lowell Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering Tel: (978) 934-2592 Fax: (978) 934-3027 Web: http://cans.uml.edu/~yluo/ _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

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. Consequently, V-Winet and V-ITS need to integrate existing networking technologies, such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11p, DSRC, 3G, IEEE 802.16, Bluetooth, Sensor networks, and ZigBee for easy, accurate, effective and simple communications among vehicles, users, and infrastructure networks. This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality, original, unpublished research covering all aspects of V-Winet and V-ITS communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the followings: - Network Architecture of V-Winet/V-ITS - V-Winet/V-ITS Services and Applications - Cooperative Aspects of V-Winet/V-ITS - Availability and Scalability Issues in V-Winet/V-ITS - Mobility, Traffic Models and Network Management for V-Winet/V-ITS - Cross-layer Optimization Techniques for V-Winet/V-ITS - Modulation, Coding, and Channel Modeling for V-Winet/V-ITS - Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Roadside Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication Protocols - Simulation Framework and Real-World Testbeds for V-Winet/V-ITS - Driving Safety and Related Applications and Services - Green Technologies and V-Winet/V-ITS Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, previously unpublished work.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks ? Datum: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:55:42 +1100 Von: Jinli Cao <J.Cao(a)latrobe.edu.au> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet <https://owa.latrobe.edu.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.inderscienc…> Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks With recent technological advances in communication and computation, new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications are growing. The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN · Distributed source coding in WMSN · Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN · Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3. Emerging WMSN technologies * Hardware platform * Physical layer technologies * Energy harvesting technologies 4. Effective and energy-efficient protocols for WMSN * Real-time and reliable multimedia streaming * Routing and medium access control * Topology control and synchronization protocols * Energy efficient traffic management * QoS provisioning protocols 5. Cross-layer design in WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication * Cooperative communication for multimedia delivery * Effective cross-layer communication protocols * Joint optimization for WMSN design 6. Data management for WMSN * In-network and distributed storage techniques for WMSN * Lightweight multimedia encoding techniques * Collaborative in-network processing * Energy-efficient DBMS for WMSN Manuscript due: Nov 28, 2009; Acceptance/rejection notification: March 31, 2010; Final manuscript due: Jun 31, 2010; Publication date: 4th Quarter of 2010.

Extend submission deadline of EVICS 2009
by Lars Wolf 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

The submission deadline of the EVICS 2009 has been extended to 2 March 2009. The workshop is intended to build a platform to discuss open issues related to IVC based improvements of the environmental impact of traveling vehicles. Furthermore, social networking aspects represent the second main topic of the workshop (we believe that both are well connected). EVICS is part of IEEE WoWMoM and, thus, IEEE sponsored. ------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Environmental and Social Impact of Vehicular Communication Systems (EVICS) !!! Extended Submission Deadline: 03/02/2009 !!! http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/evics2009/ held in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2009 June 19, 2009, Kos, Greece Aims and Scope -------------- The establishment of network connections among vehicles and between vehicles and an existing network infrastructure is one of the most challenging research fields in the networking domain. Vehicles can be seen as a mobile communication infrastructure with strong dynamics w.r.t. network topology and changing communication channel conditions. The applications are manifold ranging from comfort services, e.g. traffic information systems, to safety applications, e.g. emergency warnings. Until now, the development of protocols was primarily inspired by existing Internet solutions and the advances in mobile ad hoc networking. However, the specific characteristics of vehicular networks may require quite different communication paradigms. For example, the nodes usually do not have severe power and form factor constraints, and they might be always on. On the other hand, wireless connections may not be stable for a longer time period and the network density is expected to vary from spa! rse to very dense networks. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for novel solutions and services looking into V2V and V2I communication issues focusing on environmental aspects such as optimized CO2 emission, and road traffic shaping, i.e. optimized usage of available routes for all vehicles. Furthermore, con-cerning the drivers or users of vehicles, the service aspect is especially challenging in public trans-portation and for fleet management. The workshop will highlight the latest achievements in the research area of vehicular communication, with the goal of bringing together the different research communities. We especially target protocols and solutions besides simple "802.11+MANET" based solutions and explicitly encourage submission of scientifically sound experimental work. Authors are required to center their work around the environmental and social impacts of IVC and clearly state in the abstract how one or more of these issues are addressed in the paper. We are looking for both technical and position papers presenting new applications for IVC that we have not seen so far, and new ways to exploit existing communication techniques for more efficient IVC. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication * Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC) and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) * Exploiting IVC and intra-vehicular networks for improved safety * IVC for reduced CO2 emission and road traffic shaping * IVC algorithms, protocols, and services (MAC, routing, data dissemination, Internet-connectivity) * IVC related security, safety, and privacy issues and conflicts * Mobility modeling and simulation environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2009 proceedings, hence manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (max. 6 pages, IEEE 8.5x11 conference format). Submission will be handled by EDAS (<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7217&>). Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline (extended): March 2, 2009 Paper Acceptance Notification: April 1, 2009 Camera-Ready Paper Submission: April 10, 2009 Workshop Organizing Committee ----------------------------- * Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany, dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de * Jörg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland, jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi * Eylem Ekici, Ohio State University, USA, ekici(a)ece.osu.edu

Call for Papers: MobiArch 2009 (co-located with ACM MobiSys) -- extended deadline
by Joerg Ott 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Call for Papers The 4th ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch 2009) ----------------------------------------------------- Co-located with MobiSys, 22 June 2009, Krakow, Poland http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~mobiarch/2009/ With the recent development of technologies in wireless access and mobile devices, user, terminal, and network mobility has become an indispensable component of today's Internet vision, and it is likely to continue in the near future, while affecting the whole architectural design of the future Internet. Yet, issues like efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, wireless access and related operational/deployment concerns are still in their early stages of development. Moreover, the Internet architecture, its end-to-end principles, and business models will require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as efficient and secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless technologies may pose additional challenges to the Internet architecture since they introduce design principles different from the original Internet. MobiArch 2009 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. Furthermore, the potential of usability of mobility services for connecting people and devices in developing regions of the world into the Internet infrastructure will be also explored. Topics of MobiArch 2009 cover all aspects of architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Impacts of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on the Internet architecture * Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in link, network, transport to session/application layers and cross-layer design * Location management, routing, locator/identifier split, multi-homing and load sharing issues * Security and privacy issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture * Architectures and mechanisms for wireless/mobile connectivity in extreme environments (e.g., remote areas, developing countries) * Performance issues with mobility in the Internet * QoS and middlebox issues in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture * Economic and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) * Impact of social aspects on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design * Technologies for mobile wireless access and interactions Submissions must present original results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 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. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS (http://edas.info/7188). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 6 March 2009 (extended) Acceptance Notification: 31 March 2009 Camera Ready Due: 15 April 2009 Workshop Date: 22 June 2009 TPC Chairs: Joerg Ott Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Kun Tan Microsoft Research Asia For more information, contact workshop co-chairs at mobiarch-chairs(a)informatik.uni-goettingen.de. ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

[Cost290] The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale and Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT)
by Saverio Mascolo 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale and Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT) Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan May 21-22, 2009 Web page: http://www.hpcc.jp/pfldnet2009 Co-located: IRTF Congestion Control Research Group Meeting, May 20, 2009 Scope The Internet continues to evolve along several dimensions, allowing more and more end systems to communicate in increasingly diverse ways. At one end of the performance spectrum, the Internet protocols provide communication facilities for extremely-high-speed special-use networks. At the other end of the performance spectrum, the Internet contains very low-power and low-bandwidth networks that cater to infrequent, bursty communication. Enabling efficient and high- performance end-to-end communication across such a diverse internetwork is a difficult problem, which is not solved by current transport layer protocols. The need to support an application base that grows more and more dissimilar adds additional challenges. The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale & Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT)brings together researchers and practitioners from all continents to exchange their ideas and experiences in the area of transport layer issues for modern communication networks. The workshop provides theorists, experimentalists and technologists with a focused, highly interactive opportunity to present, discuss and exchange experience on leading research, development and future directions in transport and application protocols for networks that are increasingly growing in size, heterogeneity and dynamicity of interaction. PFLDNeT 2009 solicits papers that further the research on end-to-end communication protocols for todays and tomorrows Internet in all its diversity along the continuum from specialized grid networks, optical transports, wireless connections, to lossy and low-power networks. A specific focus of the workshop lies on transport protocols for the efficient end-to-end transfer of data for a diverse set of applications and application-layer protocols. Now approaching its seventh instantiation, the PFLDneT workshop has broadened its focus over the years from protocols targeted at specific fast, long-distance networks (the original expansion of the PFLDneT acronym) into a venue where all kinds of new ideas relating to end-to-end transport protocols for diverse network scenarios are being discussed first. The previous International Workshops on Protocols for Fast, Long- Distance Networks held at CERN (2003), Argonne (2004), Lyon (2005), Nara (2006), Marina del Rey (2007) and Manchester (2008) were very successful in bringing together many researchers from all over the world including North America, Europe and Asia who are working on these problems. PFLDNeT 2009 will continue this tradition, and provide a perfect forum for researchers in this area to exchange ideas and experience. Important Dates and Relevant Event Information Position Paper or extended abstract submission: March 6th Notification of Acceptance: April 6th Final camera ready submission: May 1st Conference: May 21st and 22nd IRTF ICCRG meeting: May 20th Workshop web site The latest information of the workshop is updated in http://www.hpcc.jp/pfldnet2009 Topics PFLDNeT 2009 covers all aspects related to transport protocols for the current and future Internet, including, but not limited to: - Protocol development - Enhancements of TCP - Innovative congestion control mechanisms - Novel data transport protocols designed for new networks and - applications - Explicit signaling protocols: optimization criteria and deployment - strategies - Pacing and shaping of traffic - Parallel transfers and multi-streaming - Performance evaluation - Modeling and simulation-based results - Interaction of transport protocols and network equipment - Experiments on real networks and live measurements - Protocol benchmarking - Transport over optical networks - Protocol implementation and hardware issues - End system performance - Data replication and striping - Applications with demanding or unusual network performance - requirements - Bulk-data transfer applications - Transport service for Grids - Quality-of-service and scalability issues - Multicast Workshop Organizers Program Committee Chairs: Lars Eggert, Nokia Research Center, FI Kei Hiraki, The University of Tokyo, JP Steering Committee: Lachlan Andrew, Swinburne University of Technology, AU Richard Hughes-Jones, Univ. of Manchester, UK Katsushi Kobayashi, AIST, JP Doug Leith, Hamilton Institute, IE Injong Rhee, North Carolina State University, US Pascale Vicat-Blanc, INRIA, FR Michael Welzl, Univ. of Innsbruck, AT Program Committee: Dirceu Cavendish ,KIT, JP Larry Dunn, Univ. of Minnesota, US Tomohiro Kudoh , AIST, JP Venkatram Vishwanath, EVL, USA Steven Low, Caltech, US Saverio Mascolo, Politecnico di Bari, IT Hideyuki Shimonishi, NEC, JP David X.

[Tccc] Call for Submissions: PhD Forum at MobiSys 2009 (2nd anouncement)
by Jacob M. Sorber 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Apologies if you received multiple copies of this mail. ----------------------------------- Call For Submissions A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services June 22, 2009 Krakow, Poland http://prisms.cs.umass.edu/~sorber/mobisysforum09/ Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2009 ----------------------------------- Overview: The PhD Forum provides a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Format: This year's PhD Forum will be a one-day event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number of participants to no more than 15 presenters. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group. Submission: Submissions should consist of the following 1. A summary of the student's dissertation research (up to 3 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, a clear delineation of prior work and proposed work, will help the panel provide more useful suggestions. 2. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. Authors should follow the style formatting guidelines for MobiSys papers. Submissions should be sent in PDF format to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com. If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 15, 2009 Notification Deadline: April 15, 2009 Camera-ready: May 1, 2009 Forum Date: June 22, 2009 Panelists: Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research Landon Cox, Duke University Per Gunningberg, Uppsala University David Johnson, Rice University (Additional panelists to be announced later pending confirmation) Organizers: General Chairs: Jacob Sorber, UMass-Amherst Aruna Balasubramanian, UMass-Amherst Steering Committee Chair: Arta Doci, Colorado School of Mines Program Chairs: Ashish Sharma, UC Santa Barbara Nilesh Mishra, USC Program Committee: Yuvraj Agarwal, UC San Diego Ganesh Ananthanarayanan, UC Berkeley Eiman Elnahrawy, Rutgers University Annarita Gianim UC Berkeley Sayandeep Sen, University of Wisconsin-Madison Eugene Shih, MIT Please send any questions to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

MobiCom 2009 will be held in September in Beijing. The MobiCom conference series serves as the premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. MobiCom is a highly selective conference focusing on all issues in mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking at the link layer and above. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom09 will also include a set of workshops and tutorials, panels, research demos and exhibits, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2009/. PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and/or practice of mobile computing and/or wireless and mobile networking. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile systems and applications * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless networking * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity * Wireless and mobile techniques for delay-tolerant, mobile ad hoc, and wireless sensor networks * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Wireless access technologies (e.g. mesh systems, personal area networks) * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Protocols exploiting novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, and software radios * Techniques for dynamic spectrum use * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for cognitive wireless networks and their integration in the Internet * Modeling, simulation, emulation and measurement of mobile systems * Experimental test-beds for mobile/wireless networks * Performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks, protocols, and systems * Next generation (beyond 802.11) wireless technologies and related systems and protocols MobiCom09 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the algorithm design. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. Wireless and mobile networks are being used in a wide variety of application contexts, such as sensor networks, pervasive computing, disruption tolerant networking, and vehicular networks. Papers that describe research and experimentation in such environments are encouraged, but the focus of such papers should be on addressing challenges associated with mobility and wireless networking. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These "challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenges:" i.e., "Challenges: Rest of the Title." SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF or PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), in font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches) with 1-inch margins. Detailed instructions on the paper submission procedure and format will be available on the conference web pages. The deadline for registering the title and the abstract of the paper with our electronic submission system is March 5, 2009 and the deadline for submitting the actual paper is March 12, 2009. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or PDF file. Submitted papers (or substantially similar papers) must not be currently under review for any other publication. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom09_pcchairs(a)acm.org. ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.
