-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM/Springer MONET Special Issue on "Advances in Wireless Mesh Networks" Datum: Mon, 14 May 2007 16:32:07 -0500 Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang(a)uark.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================ CALL FOR PAPERS ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Special Issue on "Advances in Wireless Mesh Networks" ============================================ Wireless mesh networks facilitates the extension of local area networks into wide areas and have emerged as a promising approach for future network accesses. Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to numerous practical routing and transport protocols. Unlike ad hoc networks, however, mesh networks can serve as access networks that employ multi-hop wireless forwarding by mesh nodes to relay traffic to and from the wired Internet. The unique features of wireless mesh networks pose challenges in designing affordable, reliable, and sustainable network infrastructures. The critical issues span a rich spectrum of issues from interference-aware channel assignment, multi-hop routing, to reliable transport and infrastructure optimization, many of which have to be revisited in this new context. The purpose of this special issue is to archive the state-of-the-art achievements in wireless mesh networking. We solicit original and unpublished research papers in both theoretical studies and practical protocol/architecture designs for wireless mesh networks, as well as prototypes. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical performance analysis - Network capacity and network coverage - Scalable power management and topology control - Cognitive radio-enabled wireless mesh networks - Multi-channel and multi-radio MAC protocols - Scalable and robust routing protocols - Reliable and adaptive transport protocols - Cross-layer design and optimization - New applications over wireless mesh networks - Secure communication protocols - Resource management and traffic control - Heterogeneous wireless mesh networks - Cooperative communication for mesh networks - Efficient transport design - Network operation and management - Mobility management - Testbeds and trial systems Publication Schedules: - Manuscript Due: June 1, 2007 - Acceptance Notification: Oct 15, 2007 - Final Manuscript Due: Dec 1, 2007 - Publication Date: second quarter in 2008 (expected) Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] ACM EMME 2007 CfP Datum: Wed, 9 May 2007 08:46:20 -0400 Von: Wolfgang Huerst <huerst(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-FREIBURG.DE> Antwort an: Wolfgang Huerst <huerst(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-FREIBURG.DE> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Our apologies if you have received multiple copies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Workshop on Educational Multimedia and Multimedia Education (EMME 2007) September 28, 2007, Augsburg, Germany (in conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2007) http://emme2007.informatik.uni-freiburg.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Advances in multimedia capture, analysis and delivery, combined with the rapid adoption of broadband communication, have resulted in multimedia teaching systems that have advanced traditional forms of education. Research in these areas has achieved impressive results in the last few years and many actual working systems and commercial products are now routinely used by a growing number of people. However, the various web sites and lecture videos produced as part of the "e-learning hype" generally do not exploit the full potential of multimedia. The question about how multimedia can really make learning more exploratory and enjoyable is as yet unanswered, and we are just beginning to understand the real contribution of multimedia to education. In addition, new trends in multimedia technology, such as multimedia on handheld devices or advanced approaches for the automatic analysis of multimodal signals, offer novel and exciting opportunities for teaching and learning. The growing pervasiveness of multimedia on any computing device also increases the relevance of knowledge about multimedia for computer scientists and software engineers. However, the significance of multimedia for the future of computing is generally not reflected in current curricula. For example, few universities offer dedicated courses and multimedia is often only taught as part of other courses such as computer graphics or machine learning. In addition, multimedia is a very active and rapidly changing field. New and emerging technologies can not only influence how we teach but also have an impact on what we should teach. The goal of this workshop is to identify current and evolving trends, specify open problems, and discover challenges and prospects for new research in the broad topic of multimedia-based education. By bringing together researchers working on educational multimedia with multimedia educators, we want to establish an open discussion on these issues and create a reference for future research in this area. In particular, we invite submissions in one of the following areas: -> MULTIMEDIA EDUCATION, i.e. submissions which identify key issues and best practices for teaching multimedia and look into the future of multimedia education. -> EDUCATIONAL MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS, i.e. work on educational multimedia systems and applications that promote learning. -> EMERGING TRENDS, i.e. papers on novel technologies and emerging trends in computing that offer new and exciting possibilities for the production and usage of multimedia learning material. We explicitly encourage researchers from other communities who are also working with multimedia data and multimodal signals to contribute to this workshop by submitting their research related to educational multimedia material and applications. In addition, any contribution from an emerging field dealing with education and new media is welcome. Further potential areas of interest include, among them, gaming and learning, human-centered computing, and ubiquitous computing. Information about submissions (up to 10 pages in ACM style, shorter submissions are welcome as well) are available on the workshops web site (see URL below). Selected papers will be invited for publication in a related journal. Workshop Chairs Gerald Friedland, ICSI, Berkeley, CA, USA Wolfgang Hürst, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany Lars Knipping, Berlin University of Technology, Germany Important Dates Deadline: June 1, 2007 Notification: July 9, 2007 Final Version: July 23, 2007 Further information & submission instructions at http://emme2007.informatik.uni-freiburg.de

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Reminder: VANET 2007 Submissions due May 14 Datum: Tue, 8 May 2007 17:10:17 -0800 Von: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Ken Laberteaux <klaberte(a)ACM.ORG> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2007 The Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2007 September 10, 2007 Montréal, QC, Canada Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 14, 2007, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of Acceptance: June 18, 2007 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 16, 2007 The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc networks 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, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. A high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia, VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, and VANET 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, the Fourth ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) will be held in Montréal, QC, Canada September 14, 2007, in conjunction with MobiCom 2007. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (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: - Safety and non-safety applications - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Communication protocol design - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds VANET present a highly active field of research, development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include the 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. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, 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 2007 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2007/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extended to May 15 LOCAN 2007 Datum: Thu, 03 May 2007 12:10:43 +0200 Von: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ********************************************************************* * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * LOCAN 2007 * * * * The 3rd International Workshop on Localized Communication * * and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks * * http://ants.dif.um.es/locan2007 * * * * In conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on * * Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems, MASS 2007 * * http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007 * * Pisa, Italy, October 13 , 2006 * ********************************************************************* SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas (for example, a multi-disciplinary program on sensors and sensor networks was launched in 2003 at the US National Science Foundation) and research activities are booming recently. This workshop concentrates on 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 include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models * 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 * Geocasting and anycasting * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Sensor area coverage problems * 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 IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: May 15, 2007 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2007 Workshop Date: October 12, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

Akan <akan(a)ece.gatech.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER) Special Issue on WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA SENSOR NETWORKS *EXTENDED* Submission deadline: July 30, 2007 _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have recently been the focus of a significant amount of attention and effort of the research community. The main motivation has been to address the challenges posed by the WSN paradigm, i.e., limited node power, processing, and communication capabilities, dense network deployment, multi-hop communications, and heterogeneous application-specific requirements. The vast majority of these studies applies to conventional WSN applications which need reliable and efficient communication of scalar event features and sensor data such as temperature, pressure, humidity. With the availability of low-cost small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, microphones, which may ubiquitously capture multimedia content from the field, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) have been proposed and drawn the immediate attention of the research community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems, require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video.

Applications like mobile TV, IPTV, on-demand streaming, and peer-to-peer video sharing have fundamentally changed the content distribution landscape, and have been accelerating a social and engineering revolution in media distribution and consumption. To achieve the ultimate goals of total freedom in self-expression, seamless mobile access, and any time anywhere media consumption, technology advances in various areas need to be reexamined and joined utilized under a coherent optimization framework to reach an efficient end-to-end media delivery solution. New models, metrics, and methodologies in both source, and channel coding, distributed and collaborative communications are needed to intelligently adapt the multimedia content to suit user preferences, meet device and network constraints, and achieve better communication resource utilization. The source coding and adaptation decisions of media sources need to be reconciled with the limited network resources, end-user preferences, and resource allocation schemes at network nodes. Distributed optimization schemes like pricing and game theoretical approaches are needed to improve resource allocation and management efficiency. This special issue seeks original contributions of highquality papers that report the recent advances in multimedia coding, adaptation, and transmission approaches that support multiuser collaboration and optimize the network performance for multimedia communications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Source/channel coding/adaptation techniques for increasing the elasticity of multimedia traffic * Collaborative multicast schemes utilizing source and channel diversity for efficient multimedia distribution * Distributed resource allocation and management for multimedia communication * Network utility maximization based on collaborative multimedia communication * Pricing models for collaborative multimedia transmission * Game theoretical models for multimedia contents interactions Authors should follow the Advances in Multimedia manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.com/journals/am.

The journal is a peer-reviewed full "Open Access" journal, i.e., the journal enables world-wide, barrier-free, online access to the full text of published research articles. All interested readers can read, download, and/or print any articles without requiring a subscription to the journal. In addition, we allow our open access authors to retain their own copyright as long as they sign a Creative Commons Attribution License, which allows readers to freely access, print and redistribute an article as long as it is properly cited. The journal has distinguished editorial board members with extensive academic qualifications, ensuring that the journal will maintain high scientific standards and have a broad international coverage. Another important aspect is the review and publication speed of the journal since the publisher's electronic Manuscript Tracking System (MTS), which is located at http://www.hindawi.com/mts/, helps reduce the review time significantly. We are then aiming for an average publication time of a few weeks following acceptance. Furthermore, the articles of the journal are now published on an accelerated article-by-article basis to reduce the publication delay of accepted manuscripts. I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to submit your research paper to the journal and maximize the readership and impact of your research.

Distinguished papers accepted and presented in CoNET-07, will be invited to contribute in the book Cooperative Wireless Communications, Auerbach Publications, Taylor&Francis Group. Scope and Topics: ================= Cooperative wireless communications and networking is emerging as a promising technology to enhance system performance by sharing resources among wireless nodes. With cooperation at all layers of the protocol stack, the wireless network can achieve higher throughput, higher system reliability, higher energy efficiency, lower bit-error rate, and smaller packet loss rate. A variety of research in recent years have actively focused on design, simulation, modeling, and applying cooperative communications in wireless ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks, etc. International standards organizations have been initialized various activities to apply cooperation mechanisms in the wireless LAN, PAN and MAN. For instance, the IEEE 802.16j working group is actively calling for contributions for relay metropolitan networks. The idea of cooperative wireless communications and networking can be tracked back to the work of the theoretic properties of relay channels. By sharing antennas in a multi-user environment, single-antenna wireless devices enable a virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system that allows them to achieve transmit diversity, and hence obtain advantages of MIMO with reduced size, cost, and complexity of the hardware/software. Upon cooperation at physical, MAC, network, and application layer, various cooperative signaling methods are widely explored and many new mechanisms are under development with respects to routing, medium access, location management, scheduling, energy management, and so on. This workshop intends to bring together researchers, engineers, and students to present new results, describe work in progress, and explore relationships among their diverse approaches. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: . Cooperative diversity . Virtual MIMO . Channel capacity . Cooperative channel coding . Cognitive radio networks . Cooperating services . Grid Computing . Middleware . Performance analysis, simulation and experiment . Services, applications and systems . Testbed, prototype, practical system and case studies . Resource management . Mobility management . Energy management . Security management . Cross-layer cooperation and optimization . Cooperative and distributed relaying . Relay networking .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] SANET 2007: call for papers Datum: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 09:37:13 +0200 Von: Andrea Passarella <a.passarella(a)iit.cnr.it> An: cost 290 290 <Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi> [Apologies for possible cross posting] ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS SANET 2007 First ACM Workshop on Sensor Actor Networks http://www.lifl.fr/POPS/SANET2007 Montreal, Canada, Sept. 10, 2007 Organized and run in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2007 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2007/ ====================================================================== Purpose The advent of nano-technology and advances in communications has made it technologically feasible and economically viable to develop low-power devices that integrate general-purpose computing with multi-purpose sensing and wireless communications capabilities. It is expected that sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, to environmental, establishing ubiquitous wireless sensor networks that will pervade society redefining the way in which we live and work. Recently, in an attempt to integrate sensor networks in the fabric of human activities it has been recognized that it would be beneficial to augment sensor networks by either actuators or actors. Actuators are simple devices programmed to take immediate, one-shot, action in response to sensory input. Actors are more sophisticated entities that, in addition to actuating can provide a meaningful, long-term, interaction with the environment. This long-term interaction presupposes intelligent coordination with both the sensory data but also with anticipated changes in the environment. The resulting augmented version of sensor networks is commonly referred to as Sensor Actor Networks (SANET). SANET 2007 has for stated goal to be a high-profile workshop that brings together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification, and implementation of architectures and protocols for current and future applications of SANETs. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in SANET * Modeling and simulation of SANET * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Distributed control in sensor-actor networks * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in SANET * Probabilistic integration in SANET * SANET control and management * SANET security and robustness * SANET architectural and operational models * Applications and prototypes Paper Submission Submit a full paper of about 8 pages (ACM single-space, double-column format), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. Accepted papers will be published by published by ACM Press and distributed at the workshop; copies of the Proceedings will also be available for sale from ACM after the workshop. Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system Important Dates Manuscript Submission: May 14, 2007, 11:59 GMT Acceptance Notification: June 18, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: July 13, 2007 Program Co-Chairs Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Swittzerland Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA David Simplot-Ryl, University of Lille, INRIA, France Program Committee see web site. _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290

Nonetheless, their performance evaluation and analysis have been conducted mostly through software simulations (e.g. using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Very recently, some research efforts have been directed towards measuring real-world commercial and experimental networks; constructing models based on real-world data and using prototypes to more realistically and comprehensively evaluate the suggested solutions and more specifically validate the assumptions and the conclusions reached via the simulation approach. The monitoring, measurements, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks poses a new set of unique challenges due to the unique inherent properties of these systems and due to the characteristics of the wireless transmission medium. The aim of this workshop, whose 1st edition was held in 2006 in Torremolinos (Spain), is to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of performance measurements, monitoring, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks, including, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: IEEE Wireless Comm. Mag. Special issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Mobility Management in All-IP Mobile Networks" Datum: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 09:46:49 +0300 Von: Nikos Passas <passas(a)di.uoa.gr> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Mobility Management in All-IP Mobile Networks" The success of next generation mobile networks will rely much on the degree of seamless mobility support among heterogeneous technologies. Seamless mobility is a many-faceted challenge that needs to be addressed to alleviate or eliminate today's restrictions on supported media, access technologies, devices or vendors. As we move in this direction, maintaining reliability, availability, quality of service and security at optimal levels across different systems is extremely important. Most modern mobile access technologies include advanced mechanisms for the support of intra-system handover and mobility to ensure seamless service provision. These mechanisms require proper parameterization and real-time adjustment according to a large range of traffic, QoS and channel conditions. On the other hand, inter-system handover and mobility management across heterogeneous networks are challenging problems that require efficient and reliable interoperation of the various schemes deployed in the different systems. Furthermore, simultaneous mobility must be supported, i.e., when both end hosts are mobile and they move at the same time, the session should not be dropped (as may happen with Mobile IPv6). Recent efforts are focusing on providing seamless handover and service continuity among access systems through close coordination with the QoS support and resource management mechanisms. Effort is placed into architectures that integrate different access technologies under a common IP backbone so that seamless mobility support will exploit the benefits of each technology. Several standardization activities are currently underway by different bodies. 802.21 is an IEEE emerging standard that aims at enabling seamless handover between networks of the same type as well as handover between different network types, also called Media Independent Handover (MIH). The standard provides information to allow handing over to and from several popular networks through different handover mechanisms. 3GPP is defining mobility from circuit-switched to IMS domain in the form of voice call continuity (VCC) and seamless mobility between different packet-switched domains belonging to existing and evolving 3GPP access networks and non-3GPP access networks as a part of System Architecture Evolution effort. This special issue will be devoted to the architectures, protocols, and mechanisms for mobility management and seamless handover support in next generation mobile networks. We seek original, high-quality and previously unpublished contributions, not currently under review by another magazine or journal. Contributions emphasizing recent advances and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Handovers in IEEE 802.16e - Handovers in Evolved UMTS - Comparison between 3GPP and IETF MM protocols - Mobility between 3GPP and non-3GPP radio access networks - Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) - Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management (HMIPv6) - Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers for 3G, WMANs and WLANs - Mobility Management using Proxy Mobile IPv4/v6 - Localized Mobility Management - Simultaneous mobility support (when both end hosts are mobile) - Architectures and protocols for mobility management in heterogeneous environments - Seamless intra- and inter-system handover - Media Independent Handovers (IEEE 802.21) - Security issues / solution in mobility management - Inter-domain mobility: AAA and other architectures and protocols All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.
