Opportunistic Networks enable users’ communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CogNets @ ICC - 2007:Deadline Extended Datum: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 04:05:39 +0100 Von: <Vprasad(a)ewi.tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <D5D459C496383F4490DC103C3460200C5164A8(a)ewis05.ewi.local> *** We apologise if you receive multiple copies*** We received many requests for extending the deadline. We are extending the deadline though we already have a significant number of submissions. First IEEE CogNet Workshop "Towards Cognition in Wireless Networks", IEEE ICC 2007 Workshop 24 June 2007, Glasgow, Scotland, UK http://www.ieee-cognet.org <http://www.ieee-cognet.org/> Technical sponsorship: IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Technical Sub-committee on Cognitive Networks Important Dates: Full papers due: 13th February 2007, 11:59 PM EST (Hard Deadline) Acceptance notification: 5 March 2007 Camera ready version: 12 March 2007 Scope of the Workshop Recently we have been witnessing an unbounded growth in communication technology, in particular wireless devices have been proliferating. There is a serious demand for spectrum to support the communication needs of all these devices. At the same time, many researchers are developing methodologies to sieve the unused spectrum. There are already many solutions proposed under the 'Cognitive Radio' (CR) umbrella that address this issue. The efforts by IEEE 1900 Working Group and various researchers are blazing a trail in the direction of intelligently using the spectrum available locally for communication needs, making Cognitive Radio Networking (CRN) one of the promising candidates for future communication. They are usually in terms of architecture, sensing, optimization, resource allocation, cross layer issues, etc. However, an end user requires a system that is capable of intelligently finding and handling the available frequency band without compromising the QoS. Thus there is a need for the community to look at the whole issue holistically such that these solutions, results and proposals can lead to the rapid deployment of Cognitive Radio networking devices. CRN paradigm has been trying also to gain industrial relevance through the Cognitive Radio work done especially in the USA. The workshop aims to bring in together both long-term academic and shorter term industrial viewpoints. It is required to emphasize particular as well as general aspects towards CRN. The need is to bring together all the efforts resulting in a cohesive approach for CRN. This workshop aspires to provide a platform in this direction. We select, from the submissions, a set of papers discussing novel ideas that should not only analyze the issues in a CWN but also incorporate a clear direction towards the implementation of the CRN systems. This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners and the early proponents of CR. Since this workshop is held under the auspices of ICC, we expect many key persons in this field to be present. The workshop will be planned so as to allow more interactions amongst the participants rather than a conference would. Papers selected for publication will be published together with IEEE ICC 2007 proceedings and available on IEEE eXplore database. Topics of interest are (but not limited to): - Architectures for Hardware and Software defined CR; - Regulatory policies for non-centralized spectrum management; - Enforcement of policies for CR devices; - Pricing and billing for CR devices; - Authorization and authentication of CR devices; - Novel Dynamic/Opportunistic Spectrum Access techniques; - MAC and Network layer management in CR context; - Cross-layer optimization of CRWN; - End-to-End modeling of CRWN; - Security of CRWN; - Applications of CR, i.e., CR for Personal Area Networks; - Spectrum Sensing and Quality of Detection; - Signal Processing for CRWN; - Game Theoretical Analysis of CRWN - Error correction and coding for CR; - Test beds, Experiences of CR implementations. Submission Guidelines: IEEE CogNet Workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers in the area of Cognitive Radio and Networks. Prospective Authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS submission system (http://www.edas.info <http://www.edas.info/> <http://www.edas.info/ <http://www.edas.info/> > ). (If you have any problems during submission, please contact: p.pawelczak at ewi.tudelft.nl <https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc> ). Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. The presenter must register for the workshop before the deadline given for author registration.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007) Datum: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 20:04:27 -0500 Von: Chunxiao (Tricia) Chigan <cchigan(a)mtu.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu (Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies.) ======================================================================= Call for Papers (deadline extended again till February 11) ---------------------------------------------------------- International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007) Toronto, Canada, June 29, 2007 In conjunction with the IEEE 27th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2007) ---------------------------------------------------------- The Workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS 2007, provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. Rather than looking for one-size-fits-all general solutions in the are of ad hoc networking and systems, maybe in vain, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound, efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS) suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. Very popular MANETs, sensor networks, and P2P systems are perhaps the best known examples of extremely broad, though already specialized, subclasses of ad hoc networks. We prefer to include in the scope of this Workshop only more specialized varieties of MANETs, sensornets, and P2Ps, excluding their fully general kinds. Examples of SAHNS that we want included are vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), incident area networks (IANs), and opportunistic networks (oppnets). VANETs enable vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside networking. IANs are dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Oppnets react to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. They are suitable for many application scenarios, including but not limited to emergency response situations. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad ho networks. For more details please visit the SAHNS web pages at: http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS/ or contact the Workshop Chair (llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu). We apologize for redundant messages. ======================================================================== _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Additional papers will be published in the Journal of Virtual Reality and Broadcasting (JVRB) that will bring out a dedicated special issue about Pervasive Games. UPDATE: In addition to the scientific programme, PerGames will feature high profile tutorials about Pervasive Gaming from the IPerG EU project. The IPerG project on Pervasive Games has been running for several years and offers a wealth of technological and game design insights to share. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PerGames 2007 will take place at the University of Salzburg, Austria, on June 11. & 12. 2007. It will be co-located with the ACM Conference on Advancements in Entertainment Technologies (ACE). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PerGames series of international symposia addresses the design and technical issues of bringing computer entertainment back to the real world with pervasive games. Previous PerGames events were held in Vienna (2004), Munich (2005), Dublin (2006) and attracted researchers and practitioners from all over the world. PerGames 2007 will feature high quality paper presentations and demos reviewed by an international program committee of experts from the fields of Pervasive Computing and Gaming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This time, we call for four categories of participation: * Research Papers * Research Posters * Live Demonstrations * Citywide Games ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Papers: Research Papers present the latest findings from pervasive gaming research. Each research paper should be six to ten pages in ACM SIGCHI format and should address a relevant topic for pervasive gaming applications. Participants will be chosen on the quality/ originality of their submission by an international program committee. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Mixed reality installations * Innovative input devices * Augmented tabletop games * Emerging pervasive game concepts * Augmented reality games * (Mis-)use of enabling technologies in games * Mobile computing entertainment * Business cases for pervasive computing games * Privacy and awareness issues in pervasive games * Mixing games and serious applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Posters: Research posters will be displayed and discussed during the symposium. They should include nifty ideas or ongoing work that might be too premature for a full paper submission, but interesting to discuss and share with the audience. A poster submission includes a two page description in ACM SIGCHI format and upon acceptance the respective poster. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live Demonstrations: Due to their intrinsic nature, Pervasive Games are best understood by experiencing them firsthand and therefore PerGames will host a number of innovative demonstrations of games as part of the conference. We encourage submissions of live demos of complete, playable Pervasive Games or novel technology demonstrators. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussions. A demo submission includes an abstract that describes the exhibit and discusses its novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches.

From a simple laptop to the hype iPod, from wearable computers to wireless sensors, from RFID tags to cell phones, those systems have pervasively got into our homes, offices and places where we have fun, deeply revolutionizing our lifestyle and common habits. Whats really new here is that, surprisingly, not only we can use these devices in a passive way, to listen to music or watch TV for example, but we can use them to customize and adapt all the information we want to receive: We are about to spend our days in an environment saturated with computing and communication devices able to produce and/or adapt a lot of multimedia contents, based on a set of sophisticated interactions these systems carry out with us, as well as with the environment surrounding us. One of the key issue is how to structure this universe of devices and applications, without bothering users with an explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies, while guaranteeing to them a full control on the results. To this aim, new technical challenges include several different aspects, ranging from the underlying network (is the client-server communication model adequate to support all this?) to the human computer interaction interface (how can a human being simply interact with an embedded system or an RFID tag?) and to the privacy/security mechanisms (how can we ensure privacy in such a pervasive environment?). The goal of this special issue is to collate and disseminate recent and relevant contributions in the area of Pervasive and Interactive Multimedia Systems and Applications including content representation, customization, indexing, access, protection and transmission. Papers are solicited that cover the topics including but not limited to: * Pervasive and interactive multimedia systems including mobile systems, pervasive gaming, and digital TV * Techniques and architectures for streaming media * Multimedia delivery to wireless embedded devices * Mobile content distribution networks * Multimedia QoS support for wired and wireless networks * MAC protocols with multimedia QoS support in wireless networks * Multimedia QoS in peer-to-peer and overlay networks * Online gaming (Service, architecture, protocol, and security) * Privacy and Security Issues * Distributed services middleware and systems for multimedia communications (e.g. Open Service Interfaces) * TV-centric home networks, DTV, and home networked entertainment and games * Information hiding and watermarking * Multimedia Standards, formats and models for multi-channel content distribution * GRID and distributed systems for content production * Web services for content distribution; distribution with P2P architectures * Legal aspects related to digital content (e.g., digital rights management); business, payment and transaction models Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered. Prospective contributors should submit papers in A4/US letter, single column, double space format, up to 30 pages long including figures, tables and references. Authors should submit a pdf version of their manuscript (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 MB) according to the following timetable, directly to the e-mail address of Marco Roccetti: roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it. Camera-ready papers will have to conform to the manuscript style of the target journal (www.springer.com/journal/11042/about). Timetable: Manuscript Submission: February 15, 2007 Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: July 1, 2007 Publication Date: First available issue Guest editors: Marco Roccetti (University of Bologna, IT) Marco Furini (University of Piemonte Orientale, IT) Xiao-Ping Zhang (Ryerson University, Canada) Zhu Liu (AT&T Research Labs, USA) Heather Yu (Panasonic, USA)

In these systems the interactions among the different network layers are very complex and their effects on the overall performance are not easy to accurately identify. Additionally, many simplifying assumptions considered in analytical studies do not hold in practise. Experimental activities involving the development of systems and device prototypes and the collection and analysis of measurements from actual networks can provide insight on the behaviour of such systems in realistic environments, which can be beneficial for understanding how cross-layer interactions impact in practise the overall performance, for deriving realistic simulation models, for analyzing particular phenomena and evaluating algorithms and protocols, and for exploring the design choices in building actual wireless networks. Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the evolution of these networks. After a successful first event last year, EXPONWIRELESS 2007 aims to again bring together all the aspects related to experimental activities on wireless networks, creating a forum where researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, current requirements, and future visions, that are important for the development of new protocols, algorithms, devices and systems. High quality papers discussing original and innovative experimental activities on wireless networks are solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop are (but are not limited to): * Device prototypes for wireless BANs, PANs, LANs, and MANs * Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems * Deployment and experience with multi-hop multi-radio wireless mesh networks * QoS for real-time voice/video in wireless networks * Differentiated services in wireless multimedia networks * Systems and methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in wireless networks * Power control and channel assignment * Algorithms for self-configuration and self-management of beyond-3G systems * Seamless internetworking and architectures for beyond-3G systems * Handoff and mobility management in beyond-3G systems * Energy-efficient protocols and power management algorithms * Wireless security * Wireless vehicular networks * Wireless/Mobile applications and services * Middleware platforms for wireless/mobile environments * Mobility models * Location services * Positioning and tracking technologies PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Submitted manuscripts should adhere to the IEEE double-column standard format with 10pt font size for texts. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica, or equivalent. The maximum length of the manuscript is 6 pages. This limit includes figures, appendix, bibliography, etc. Papers significantly exceeding this limit will be automatically rejected. All papers must be submitted in PDF format to the address exponw(a)ics.forth.gr. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2007 workshop proceedings.

The difference is induced by the fact that in applications such as network monitoring, telecommunications data management, manufacturing, sensor networks, and others, data takes the form of continuous data streams rather than finite stored data sets. As a result, clients require long-running continuous queries as opposed to one-time queries. These requirements lead to reconsider data management and processing of complex and numerous continuous queries over data streams, as current database systems and data processing methods are nit suitable. Event stream processing is a new paradigm of computing that supports the processing of multiple streams of event data with the goal of identifying the meaningful events within those streams The International Workshop on Data Stream Processing, STREAM 2007, brings together practitioners and researchers for discussion and work on the emerging aspects pertaining to new algorithms for data stream processing, optimization, and system design methodologies using these techniques. TOPICS OF SPECIAL INTEREST (but not limited to): Fundamentals on data stream processing Data stream processing and event stream processing Continuous query languages Time management in data stream systems Aggregated queries support Query processing with multiple, continuous, rapid, time-varying data streams Processing frequent item set discovery queries Real-time stream data processing Network-aware operator placement for stream-processing systems Integrating database queries and Web searches Scalable Distributed Stream Processing Optimization of data stream processing Performance and overhead in data stream processing QoS adaptation in data stream systems Adaptive query processing in data stream Interactive distributed data stream processing and mining Data stream management systems Control theory on stream processing Processing high-speed data streams Stream processing in production-to-business software Multi-site cooperative data stream analysis Grid-based data stream processing Hyper databases for P2P data stream processing Sensor data stream processing in health monitoring Processing and sharing data streams in Grid-based P2P infrastructures INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE AUTHORS The STREAM 2007 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, posted on IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and indexed with major indexes. Regular papers Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. Every submission will receive an ID from the EDAS system.

The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services. We are seeking research papers, technical reports, dissertation etc for these interdisciplinary areas. The goal of the UBICC journal is to publish the most recent results in the development of system aspects of ubiquitous computing. Researchers and practitioners working in this area are expected to take this opportunity to discuss and express their views on the current trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing various issues in this area. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to* 1.

Apologies for multiple copies.) ***************************************************************** Call for Papers SASO 2007 International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Boston, Mass., USA, July 9-11, 2007 http://projects.csail.mit.edu/saso2007/ Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, Task Force on Autonomous and Autonomic Systems (approval pending) in cooperation with ACM SIGOPS (approval pending) and ISCE Research The complexity of current computer systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., robotics, artificial intelligence or biology) to find new ways of designing and managing networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising facets of a paradigm shift. Self-adaptive systems work in a top-down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible. Self-organizing systems work bottom-up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions, and it is difficult to deduce properties of the global system by studying only the local properties of its parts. This edition of SASO will focus on engineering, as opposed to speculative and conjectural visions. Contributions should present novel theoretical results, or practical experience with building systems, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. Topics o Self-* properties: - self-organization - self-adaptiveness - self-management - self-monitoring - self-tuning - self-repair - self-configuration - etc. o Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems o Management and control of self-* systems o Robustness and dependability of self-* systems o Engineering and control of emergent properties in self-* systems o Biologically and socially inspired self-* systems Systems & Technologies o P2P applications o Mobile robots o Sensor networks o Mobile ad hoc networks o Grids o Embedded systems, ubiquitous computing o Autonomic computing, autonomic communications o Computer networks, telecommunication networks o Multi-agent systems o E-business systems and services o Complex adaptive systems Research Communities o Distributed artificial intelligence o Networking o Software engineering o Distributed systems o Integrated management o Robotics o Knowledge-based systems o Machine learning o Control theory o Mathematical optimization Organization General Co-Chairs: Ozalp Babaoglu, University of Bologna, Italy Howard E.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACF-Members: CFP 1st International Workshop on Policy-based Computing (PBAC 2007) Datum: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 04:53:11 -0000 Von: Duncan Johnston Watt <Duncan(a)enigmatec.net> An: <acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org> Call for papers 1st International Workshop on Policy-Based Autonomic Computing- PBAC 2007 http://cms1.gre.ac.uk/conferences/pbac2007 Sponsors: IEEE and ACM A one-day workshop to be held at: The 4th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2007 - http://www.acis.ufl.edu/~icac2007/index.shtm) June 11-15, 2007, Jacksonville, Florida, USA The theme and scope of the workshop Policy-based computing is one of many techniques used to implement autonomic computer systems. The business function is expressed in terms of workflow (logic + actions) or behavioural rules to be performed in response to certain situations, which is decoupled from the implementation mechanism. The mechanisms are fixed at design time, but the actual run-time behaviour is decided by the policy. This facilitates contextual awareness as the policy may take account of various environmental inputs from sensors and external software systems. Policy-based mechanisms are also very useful in specifying system behaviour – such as when specifying Service Level Agreements, and subsequently monitoring whether these agreements have been adhered to. Policy-based configuration is highly versatile and generally applicable across a very wide application space. When compared with other autonomics techniques, policies represent one of the lowest risk and lowest cost solutions; because there is relatively low complexity. The workshop intends to discuss all aspects of using policies in the context of autonomic computing. We invite papers reporting novel contributions to policy-based computing within an autonomics context. Submissions must describe original work that has not been published, accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Indicative keywords and themes Policy languages and tools Policy languages and semantics. Policy frameworks for autonomic computing. Platforms and tools to aid the development of policies and policy-based systems. Visualisation tools - for policy configuration and also for policy execution traces. Policy-autonomics concepts Multiple-policy systems. Combining policy-based computing with other autonomics techniques. Dynamic adaptation / evolution of policy configuration. Automated evaluation of policies. Models of policy negotiation and collaboration. Policy-based applications Development and verification of policy-based applications. Autonomic applications of policy-based computing. Feasibility and requirements for the deployment of policy-based solutions. Policy-based virtualisation tools. Context and environmental awareness in policy systems Context-aware privacy policies. Policies for dealing with trust and risk in autonomic systems. Policy conflict management. Please note that the keywords and themes are indicative and we welcome submissions in other relevant areas. However, it is intended that the workshop will have an empirical / experiential emphasis, and thus preference will be given to papers that are supported by an implementation, prototypes and/or simulations. Also of interest are theoretical approaches to the study of policy languages and semantics with a view towards exploitation in an autonomics context. Target audience Policy-based computing in autonomics is equally relevant and important to industry, research and academia. The workshop will be of great interest to a practitioner audience although no particular level of expertise is expected and we welcome multi-disciplinary contributions. We intend that the workshop will provide a forum for focussed discussion of policy-based computing as a technique for implementing autonomic systems, and hope that delegates will be able to exchange ideas concerning ways in which policies can be developed and deployed. The workshop is expected to have the effect of promoting the use of policies and encouraging further research in this area. Submissions Full papers of up to 10 pages should be formatted in the standard IEEE two-column conference proceedings format. Shorter work-in-progress papers (up to 4 pages) will also be considered based on individual merit. Actual submission will be via on-line upload to the website. Publication The workshop proceedings will be published in the Whitestein Series on Software Agent Technologies and Autonomic Computing. In addition, authors of selected papers from the workshop will be invited to submit expanded versions of their papers for inclusion in a forthcoming ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) special issue on Policy-based Autonomic Computing.

As the name suggests, it aims at the convergence of two fields, acting as a common forum for the Robotics and Communications research communities. The expected outcome of the event is to promote cross-pollination of these two areas leading to growth in the capabilities of both. Robotics is an interdisciplinary field that includes the following key competencies: mechanics, control theory, electronics and communications. Initially the first three areas dominated in their roles. However, in the last two decades we have witnessed the unprecedented growth of wireless communication technologies, with increasing attention given to sensor networks and ad-hoc networks, enlarging the possible configurations of a network. Meanwhile, building more than just one or two robots at a time has become cheaper and more common, thus opening a whole new range of applications for multi-robot systems with networking capabilities. Network robotics offers a framework to study coordination mechanisms for complex systems through communication channels, thus providing the natural common ground for convergence of information processing, communication theory and control theory. Networked robotics poses significant challenges, requiring the integration of communication theory, software engineering, distributed sensing and control into a common framework. Furthermore, robots are unique in that their motion and tasking control systems are co-located with the communications mechanisms. This allows the co-exploitation of individual subsystems to provide completely new kinds of networked or distributed autonomy. Hence, ROBOCOMM will be a leading-edge conference where prominent researchers with different backgrounds will gather and merge different ideas into a common framework that will enable new applications based on large scale networks of mobile robots. A partial list of conference themes that will be part of the ROBOCOMM technical program is listed below. We encourage discussion of both wired and wireless networking aspects for robots. Although the intended focus is on networked robotics, papers on advanced communications for single robot systems (for tele-operation for instance) will also be welcome. - Robotic interactions with sensors - Communication protocols for tele-operated and tele-reflexive robots - Intra-sensor communications within individual robots - Communication protocols for flocks and swarms of networked robots - Biologically inspired or biomimetic robot communication - Exploiting the interactions between communications and autonomy - Localization and tracking using robotic communications - Distributed coordination of mobile robot teams - Industrial applications of networked robotics - Real-time software for mobile robots Submissions --- Authors are invited to submit their paper electronically in PDF format by April 13, 2007. The maximum number of pages is limited to 8 pages (10pt, double column, IEEE format). The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be available through ACM Digital Library.

This pervaded world has generated new communication paradigms: autonomic and opportunistic communications. Communication among devices in a pervasive environment can happen if the devices can communicate autonomously, and manage their own evolution and configuration changes in the network, without explicit user or administrator action. In a pervasive world, even in the absence of any connectivity infrastructure mobile devices can communicate using the connection "opportunities" that arise due to mobility. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks * Adaptive security for self protection of networks * Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobility models for opportunistic networking * Novel management techniques for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks * Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal.

In mobile systems, this task becomes more challenging due to considerations imposed by the mobile aspect of the system. This workshop aims to bring together systems researchers to explore the basic question of evaluating mobile systems. Specifically we will examine challenges and advances made in the metrics, tools, methods, and the platforms used to evaluate mobile systems effectively. Submissions are encouraged to highlight the specific areas relating to mobile systems that make proper evaluation difficult - and include discussions how novel techniques can be used to address the various issues that arise. The focus of the workshop is not necessarily the underlying research for mobile systems, but rather the techniques and considerations necessary for evaluating and quantifying the gains of the basic research itself. Some example areas where mobile platforms and systems evaluation issues intersect include: * Reproducibility and Consistency * Experimental Design * Power Considerations * Metrics * Applications * Dynamic environments * Form factor * Platforms/Test-beds * Simulation Paper Submission: Submissions should be full papers, up to 6 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous and reviewing is single-blind. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Full Papers are due Thursday, March 15th, 2007, 23:59 EST. Manuscripts must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified above. It will be possible to send a revised version of the manuscript until the deadline (Thursday, March 15th,2007, 23:59 EST). Please email a PDF copy of your manuscript to mobieval(a)cs.ucsd.edu.

The workshop environment encourages lively discussion among participants and invites strong feedback for work in progress. In 2007, NOSSDAV will be held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA. NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia computing and networking and strongly encourages work in progress in emerging areas. Papers grounded in high quality experimental research based on prototype and real systems are highly valued. NOSSDAV will give extra consideration to papers that aim to comprehensively validate previous work in some topic within multimedia, propose new directions for research or call into question existing conventional wisdom. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Peer-to-peer streaming - Networked games - Sensor networks and architectures - In-network stream processing - Wireless and mobile multimedia systems - 3D multimedia and tele-immersion - Streaming 3D graphics and virtual worlds - Application-level multicast - Multimedia security - Digital rights management - Real-time operating system support for multimedia - Multimedia middleware and frameworks - Multimedia grids - Programmable and GPU/SPU-enabled multimedia A broad view will be taken in deciding what topics are within scope. Please feel free to contact the workshop co-chairs if you are unsure and wish to check if a particular paper or topic is within the workshop scope. As always, student participation is strongly encouraged. To encourage a good mix of seasoned researchers as well as students, we will be offering discounted registration for non-student co-authors of a paper or other non-student participants associated with the author of a paper (participants from the same institution). Submissions (as well as the camera ready final versions of accepted papers) should be no longer than 6 pages. We expect these submissions to be the kernel of what will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. This year, a few of accepted NOSSDAV papers with highest quality are selected and their authors are invited to submit an extended version of their papers to a special issue of ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal (MMSJ). MMSJ is a well-known International journal, published by the Springer Verlag, and sponsored by the ACM SIGMM organization.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Preliminary CfP: IEEE Wireless Comm. Mag. Special issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Mobility Management in All-IP Mobile Networks" Datum: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 15:54:55 +0200 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.

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 Submission deadline: April 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC Special issue on Delay and Disruption Tolerant Wireless Communication Datum: Fri, 12 Jan 2007 13:37:10 +0100 Von: Gunnar Karlsson <gk(a)ee.kth.se> Organisation: KTH EE/LCN An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications DELAY AND DISRUPTION TOLERANT WIRELESS COMMUNICATION Modern computer communication has been developed for providing conti- nuous end-to-end connectivity. There are, however, communication services that are tolerant to disruptions and delay and do not require or cannot be given continuous connectivity. It is time to consider the unconnected network. This issue is dedicated to communication over wireless networks with inter- mittent connectivity due to planned or unexpected disruptions that may result in long delays for the communicating parties. Communication dis- ruptions occur both in infrastructure and ad-hoc wireless networks. In both cases, it is possible that mobile nodes cooperatively forward data for one another through their own movements. The mobility patterns of nodes affect thereby both the speed and reliability of data forwarding. Inter- mittent communication occurs also in sensor networks due to, e.g., energy- saving sleep cycles, and in deep-space communication and meteor-burst communication. The communication services that may use such intermittent and high-delay connections are characterized by a low degree of inter- activity, e.g., broadcasting, messaging, and data collection. Opportunistic strategies for caching and communicating may improve the performance in terms of reduced delay and improved probability of delivery. This issue of J-SAC is dedicated to technologies, systems designs and analyses that contribute to the development and understanding of delay and disruption tolerant wireless communication systems. Original contributions, previously unpublished and not currently under review, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following. * Data encoding for partial and unordered delivery * User studies of delay and disruption tolerances * Opportunistic caching and pre-fetching for concealment of service disruptions * Mobility measurements, modeling and performance analysis * Uni-, any-, and multicast routing protocols * Congestion, flow and error control; per-hop and multi-hop solutions * Security, privacy, authenticity and traceability of communication * Energy saving strategies and power management * Applications to personal communication, sensor networks, road-traffic systems and industrial communication Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/.

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: [Tccc] CFP-WICON2007: The Third Annual International Wireless Internet Conference Datum: Sun, 7 Jan 2007 17:54:02 -0500 (EST) Von: Linda Jiang Xie <jxie1(a)uncc.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ********************************************************************** ***** WICON 2007 ***** The Third Annual International Wireless Internet Conference October 22-24, 2007 Austin, Texas, USA http://www.wicon.org ********************************************************************** Wireless Internet is quickly becoming a reality thanks to fast evolution of various wireless access technologies. Convergence of heterogeneous wireless networks, enabled by interworking and wireless mesh networking technologies, further brings wireless Internet into various application scenarios. On the other hand, new wireless Internet architectures, services, and solutions are still desired in order to achieve the ultimate goal of wireless Internet access anytime anywhere. The Wireless Internet Conference (WICON) will continue to provide a premier international forum to discuss novel research results related to the emerging Wireless Internet. The focus of WICON 2007 will be on advanced wireless access technologies, wireless mesh networks, interworking of heterogeneous networks, next generation wireless Internet, and industrial practice methodology. Given the existence of many other conferences on mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks, papers that are oriented to these networks are discouraged unless they directly focus on the conference theme of the Wireless Internet.

For broadband end-to-end mobile networking, the broadband wired networks (such as IP/MPLS with DWDM optical networks) will be converged with wireless networks (such as IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN, 802.16 Wireless MAN (WiBro, WiMax) and 3G/4G wireless cellular networks). Also, the IP-based telecommunication network will be converged with broadcast network to provide IP-based high-quality broadband multimedia broadcasting and multicasting. Several countries of strong Internet infrastructure are going to provide initial BcN commercial services soon. For efficient service provisioning on the broadband converged networks, well-designed and implemented network operations and management functions with traffic engineering are essential. ITU-T had been operating a special expert group called FGNGN (Focus Group on Next Generation Networks) to provide the architecture of NGN, and currently working on the network operations and management issues actively in Study Groups SG-13 and SG-11. IETF has some working groups on network operations and managements of IP/MPLS networks, but the operations and management for integrated networking with wired & wireless, telecommunication and broadcasting networks has not been actively covered yet. Following the successful “1st IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence Networks (BcN2006)” (April 7, 2006, Vancouver, Canada, in conjunction with IEEE/IFIP NOMS2006), the goal of this workshop is to gather people with different backgrounds to share the current status of standardization and technology development of BcN, to discuss challenges and possible solutions in the broadband networking for QoS-guaranteed real-time multimedia services on BcN. Areas of interest include the architectures, applications, and management issues of BcN.Topics of interest for this workshop include, but not limited to, the following: - Architecture and Standardization - Applications and Service Provisioning - QoS Management, Traffic Engineering - Inter-domain Networking - QoS-guaranteed multimedia service provisioning across broadband wired & wireless networks - Converged networking issues for telecommunication and broadcasting - Broadband Access networking with hybrid fiber optic and wireless network - Security issues on the convergence networks - Accounting and Billing - Seamless service provisioning with roaming and handover - Regulatory Issues - Automated resource management and service provisioning - Signaling for Application Sessions and Networking - Virtual Networks and Operators *Paper Submission* Authors are requested to submit a paper up to 12 pages (single-spaced single-column pages).

Topics of interest encompass research advances in ALL areas of secure communications and networking. Topics in other areas (e.g., formal methods, database security, secure software, theoretical cryptography) will be considered only if a clear connection to private or secure communication/networking is demonstrated. Securecomm brings together security and privacy experts in academia, industry and government as well as practitioners, standards developers and policy makers. Securecomm also serves as a venue for learning about state-of-the-art in security and privacy research. Presentations reporting on cutting-edge research results are supplemented by panels on controversial issues and invited talks on timely and important topics. PAPERS: Technical papers describing original unpublished research are solicited. Submissions must not be concurrently under review by a conference, journal or any other venue that has proceedings. Authors of the highest-quality accepted papers will be invited to submit extended version of their papers to a special issue of ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC). SHORT PAPERS: In addition to full papers, Securecomm 2007 invites submission of pithy concise technical papers (also describing original unpublished research). Such papers may represent work-in-progress or small -- yet novel -- research results that do not warrant a full paper. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Only PostScript or PDF formats are accepted for all submissions.Full paper submissions must not exceed 10 pages in IEEE conference style, two-column format, not including the bibliography. Well-marked appendices of up to 2 pages are allowed but will be read only at the discretion of reviewers. Short paper submissions are limited to 4 pages total. IEEE Communications Society and Create-Net policy states that all accepted SecureComm 2007 papers must have at least one registration at the regular rate. For authors co-authoring multiple papers, one regular registration is valid for up to two papers. 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. Complete paper submission instructions will be available at the conference website. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------ * Security & Privacy in Wired, Wireless, Mobile, Hybrid, Sensor, Ad Hoc networks * Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention, DoS Countermeasures * Firewalls, Routers, Filters and Malware detectors * Public Key Infrastructures and Other Security Architectures * Secure Web Communication * Communication Privacy and Anonymity * Secure/Private E-commerce * Secure Routing, Naming/Addressing, Network Management * Security & Privacy in Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing, e.g., RFIDs WORKSHOPS: Proposals for one-day workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference are solicited. A maximum of 2 pages should be submitted which include the workshop name, its scope and a list of topic of interests. Proposals should be submitted to the Workshop Chair by February 1, 2007. DEMOS: Proposals for research and industrial demos are solicited. A maximum of 2 pages should be submitted which include a description of the demo and needed resources from the conference organizers. Proposals should be submitted to the Demo Chair by June 1, 2007.
