-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] LOCAN2005: Deadline extended to July 7th Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2005 02:34:40 +0200 From: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> To: 'IETF Manet' <manet(a)ietf.org> CC: mip6(a)ietf.org, tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear all, The deadline for the following workshop has been extended to July 7th, Please, find below the revised CFP. Regards, Pedro M. Ruiz University of Murcia http://ants.dif.um.es/staff/pedrom/ We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2005 1st International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2005 (www.mass05.wpi.edu) Washington, DC, USA, November 7-10, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline extended to July 7th. SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the researh community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. 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 behaviour 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 main 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 for ad hoc networks *Hybrid networks and wireless Internet *Security in ad hoc networks *Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery *Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks *Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks *Quality of service in medium access control and routing *Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks *Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: July 7, 2005 (Extended deadline) Acceptance Notification: July 29, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: August 26, 2005 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. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS2005 workshops.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CFP] ACM MM Workshop on Service Composition Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 08:31:08 +0200 From: Christian Becker <christian.becker(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ** please apologize multiple copies of this call ** Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Multimedia Service Composition (MSC’05) Singapore, November 13, 2005 http://www.l3s.de/msc05/index.html AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------- Service-oriented architectures promise to introduce a maximum of flexibility and reus-ability of components into multimedia applications. Since most multimedia applications consist of several complex steps, the composition of basic services to achieve more com-plex goals is a mission critical problem. Moreover, important parameters for QoS have to be closely monitored and aggregated along the service chains to predict or guarantee cer-tain values for the execution of complex workflows. Service composition is also a concept strongly discussed and researched in the Web community today. Web services are expected to take over an essential part of everyday’s responsibilities and their composition is necessary to extend their benefits to even com-plex tasks and value chains. However, most of these Web-based concepts and constructs today suffer from being generally invariant to data types including the new datatypes that are being heavily explored in the multimedia community. Using these well-understood and standardized datatypes the efficient provisioning and improved reusability of compo-nents becomes feasible. Thus, the move from data-driven to service-driven architectures promises to open up a whole new field of value adding multimedia applications dynami-cally built on top of basic components. MSC’05 provides a forum for presenting new challenges and research results in multime-dia service composition. Its predecessor was held in the framework of the Brave New Topics (see www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_braveMMservice.htm) at ACM Multimedia Conference 2004 in New York, USA. We invite researchers, and industrial practitioners to participate and share their knowledge in this forum. We solicit the following types of papers: * Research papers (up to 10 pages) * Application/experience papers (up to 10 pages) All accepted papers will be published by the ACM within a dedicated volume for the workshops of ACM Multimedia 2005. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------- Papers should address specific challenges for service composition in multimedia systems, and propose or evaluate methods, architectures and techniques to overcome these chal-lenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - integration of web and multimedia service composition frameworks - system integration aspects in service composition - service composition support in middleware systems - session management for service compositions - service routing and aspects of distribution - role of service discovery in dynamic composition - semantic enhancements for service discovery /selection - service composition and meta-data representation - semantic distances between advertised service capabilities - ontology-based service capability descriptions (e.g. OWL-S) - service interoperability, interface design and impact on QoS - service level agreements and QoS guarantees of service chains - multimedia service personalization and customization - multimedia application decomposition and service modeling - multimedia process workflows and service composition lifecycle PAPER SUBMISSION AND IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished papers. Submissions should be formatted according to the ACM guidelines and have up to 10 pages. Submis-sions have to be sent by July, 29th 2005 to the workshop chairs • 29 Jul 2005 Workshop papers due • 22 Aug 2005 Notice of acceptance for workshop papers • 29 Aug 2005 Camera ready papers due ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ------------------------------------------ Co-Chairs: Klara Nahrstedt (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA) Wolf-Tilo Balke (L3S Research Center, University of Hannover, Germany) PC members: Christian Becker (University of Stuttgart, Germany) Hao-Hua Chu (National Taiwan University, Taiwan) Peter Dolog (University of Hannover, Germany) Xiaohui Gu (IBM T.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: COMENTS 2005 Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 22:45:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Anupam Banerjee <anupamb(a)andrew.cmu.edu> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org COMNETS-2005 2nd IEEE/Create-net International Workshop on Deployment Models and First/Last Mile Networking Technologies for Broadband Community Networks www.comnets.org Date: Oct 7th, 2005 Location: Boston, USA Based on the success of its predecessor, the First International Workshop on CN and FTTx, held in Dallas, TX in October 2003, COMNETS 2005 is planned to cover the whole spectrum of issues related to community networks and will integrate the main aspects of planning, design, implementation and operation of Community networks. Community networks have evolved during the last decade in North America and, more recently, in Europe, from the concept of freenets or civic nets tothe idea of open access networks, and represent a dramatic shift from the classical telecom infrastructures, service provisioning methods and business models. The design of community networks requires the solution of challenging engineering tasks. The first objective of the workshop is to address network technology issues that include the optimal combination of wire-based and wireless technologies for the access part, the integration of the core/distribution and access networks, the provisioning of end-to-end quality of service for multimedia and other applications, the design of scalable applications and services tailored to the bandwidth and the access quality. On the other hand, CNs, often being created, owned and operated with the participation of a local or regional government, are based on specific business models and service provisioning methods. Thus, the second objective of the workshop is to address the related business and social issues that include business models for planning, implementing, and operating CNs, legal/regulatory environment, planning of e-government, e-health, e-learning services. Case studies from all over the world are most welcome.Original unpublished papers are solicited in areas including but not restricted to the following: •Guidelines for network design and technology selection •QoS support and service differentiation •Implementation/operation experience •New technology testing experience •Wireless community networks •Wireline (PLC, Fiber, xDSL) community networks •Legal frameworks: experiences and new challenges •Business oriented tests and case studies •Municipal fiber, customer owned fiber networks •Public-private ownership structures •Killer applications for community networks (e-gov, e-health applications, e-learning) •Providing entertainment services on CNs •Case studies and experiences Important Dates: June 30th 2005 Paper submission deadline Aug 31th 2005 Acceptance Notification Sept 15th 2005 Camera Ready papers Oct 7th 2005 Workshop Organizing committee General and Program Chairs: Ashwin Gumaste(Fujitsu Laboratories) Hakki Cankaya(Alcatel Research) Csaba A.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: MHWMN-2005 Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 23:48:10 -0400 (EDT) From: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> To: <manet(a)ietf.org> CC: podc(a)acm.org, tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ****** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message **** ======================================================================= CFP: IEEE MHWMN'2005 The IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks 2005 (IEEE MHWMN'05) (http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2005/CFP.html) To be held in conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2005) Washington DC, USA, November 7-11, 2005 ========================================================================= AIM and SCOPE ------------- The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range,power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. TOPICS ------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: -Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management -Quality of services (QoS) delivery in MHWMN -Robust and scalable routing protocols for MHWMN -MAC protocols for MHWMN -Self-configuration and synchronization for MHWMN -Security issues in MHWMN -Topology control and management for MHWMN -Mobility models and location management in MHWMN -Cross-layer design and interactions for MHWMN -Modeling and performance evaluation for MHWMN -Algorithms for localization and signal processing in MHWMN -Implementation testbeds for MHWMN -Operating systems and middleware for MHWMN SUBMISSIONS ----------- Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is eight (8) pages. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format), contact addresses, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses (text format) to the co-chairs Qing-An Zeng (qzeng(a)ececs.uc.edu) and Mieso Denko (denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca) by July 1, 2005. Some selected high quality papers from the workshop will be published at JPCC (Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications) Special Issue on Key Technologies and Applications of Wireless Sensor and Body-area Networks (http://www.csie.nctu.edu.tw/~yctseng/cfp/JPCC-sensor-BAN-CFP.htm).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ICEC] CfP: Workshop on Blurring the Boundaries between Learning, Enjoying and Working Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 10:31:55 +0200 From: Rauterberg, G.W.M. <G.W.M.Rauterberg(a)tue.nl> To: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> *Blurring the Boundaries between Learning, Enjoying and Working *A one-day Critical Computing Workshop http://www.sjul.org/boundaries05 boundaries05(a)umich.edu *Critical Computing* 20-24 August 2005 Aarhus, Denmark http://www.aarhus2005.org/ / //POSITION PAPERS due June 26 (July 25 for late acceptance, if space is available)/ *BOUNDARIES BETWEEN LEARNING, ENJOYING AND WORKING* People learn (only) in school, are productive (only) at work and enjoy themselves (only) elsewhere, right? No? That's the impression often imparted by information technology: entertainment software is distinct from productivity tools and both differ from educational technology. Blurring the boundaries between learning, enjoying and working will be increasingly critical as information technology matures, becomes more diverse and enters new dimensions of human existence. This need is already evident, for example, in efforts to incorporate "fun" as a design value for productivity tools, or to support understanding and solving of real-world problems in educational technologies. Research and design communities also reflect these boundaries, differing in values, practices and expertise. For instance, educational designers emphasize "reflective design" (stressing interpretation, understanding and reasoning), whereas productivity designers emphasize "behavioral design" (stressing use and experience), while entertainment designers emphasize "visceral design" (stressing appearance, touch, and feel). Development of boundary-blurring technologies will require understanding ways and implications of crossing the boundaries in both research and design settings. The purpose of the workshop is to examine, systematically, opportunities for and implications of research, design and development of integrated technologies, and explore ways of helping designers and researchers to cross boundaries. The objectives of the workshop are to develop an understanding of the opportunities for, limitations of and issues raised by blurring boundaries, and to outline a research agenda for technologies that allow people simultaneously to learn, enjoy themselves and be productive, and to do so across all the settings -- work, home, play -- in which they conduct their lives. *DISCUSSION TOPICS* Topics for discussion will primarily be derived from participants' suggestions and interests. However, they might include: Implications and Opportunities for Integrated Technologies o Are there venues for integrated technologies that are particularly appropriate or inappropriate? o Do integrated technologies pose special social or ethical concerns? o What conflicts might blurring boundaries present? E.g., automating subtasks to increase productivity vs. exposing them to increase learning. o Do integrated technologies introduce new or specialized computational problems? Benefits of Integrating Technologies o How might research or design communities benefit from looking across boundaries? o What do different research and design communities have to offer each other? Process and Methodological Changes o Do design processes and methodologies differ for different spheres of purpose or types of design, and what changes are needed for integrated technologies? o Do research questions and methods differ by purpose or type of design, and what changes are needed for integrated technologies? Research Agenda o How might viewing technology across boundaries affect research, design and development? o What research questions might be raised or answered by integration? o What research questions must be answered to achieve integration? o How can opportunities for research, design and development across boundaries be created and supported? * IMPORTANT DATES* June 26: Position papers due June 30: Notification of acceptance July 1: Early registration deadline July 25: Late position papers due (if space is available) Aug 1: Notification of acceptance (late position papers) Aug 20: Workshop takes place in Aarhus, Denmark _______________________________________________ icec mailing list icec(a)listserver.tue.nl http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec

September 2005, 9:00-12:30 Uhr Ort: Linz, Austria Einreichungsfrist: 15. August 2005 Moderation: Leonie Schäfer, EU Commission - DG Information Society & Media, leonie.schaefer(a)cec.eu.int Steffi Beckhaus, interactive media/ virtual environments, Universität Hamburg, steffi.beckhaus(a)uni-hamburg.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Motivation ---------- Digitale Spiele haben sich zu einem neuen, aktuellen Trend in der weltweiten Forschung im IT-Bereich entwickelt. Neben klassischen Spieltypen wie Shooter Games und Verfolgungsjagden entsteht eine Vielzahl neuer Spielformen. Diese neuen digitalen Spiele sind vielfach kooperativ, multimodal und haben ihren Handlungsort in einer virtuellen Umgebung. Die Spieler können sich an unterschiedlichen Orten befinden, jedoch auf eine gemeinsame virtuelle Spielplattform zugreifen und so miteinander kooperieren. Anwendung finden solche Spiele nicht nur im Unterhaltungsbereich, wie z.B. in der Form von Rollenspielen, sondern auch im Arbeitsbereich in der Simulation von komplexen Arbeits- und Produktionsprozessen. Diese neue Generation von digitalen Spielen stellt eine neue Herausforderung dar für das Design von spielgeeigneten Mensch-Computer Schnittstellen, der Nutzung mobiler Endgeräte, sowie der Gestaltung von kooperationsunterstützender Software. In diesem Workshop wollen wir uns speziell mit der Frage befassen, inwiefern Strukturen aus dem Bereich kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übertragbar sind auf eine Anwendung im Bereich der digitalen Spiele. Fragen hierzu sind z.B.: Welche Bedeutung haben Kooperation und Communities für den Erfolg eines digitalen Spiels? Welche Funktionalitäten und Ansätze können von kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übernommen werden? Welche Spieltypen würden davon besonders profitieren? Ebenso ist die Umkehrung der Frage von Interesse: Wie lassen sich die Erfahrungen in der Gestaltung und Entwicklung von Spielen auf das Design von kooperativen Arbeitsumgebungen übertragen? Viele digitale Spiele haben einen sehr immersiven Charakter. Durch welche Spielstrukturen wird dieser Effekt hervorgerufen? Kann man diese Strukturen auf kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übertragen und dort einen ähnlichen Effekt erzielen? Welche Art von kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen würde davon profitieren? Ziel des Workshops ------------------ Das Ziel des halbtägigen Workshops ist es, für kooperative Spiele und kollaborative Arbeitsumgebungen: * existierende Strukturen und Erfolgsfaktoren digitaler Spiele und kooperativer Anwendungen zu untersuchen und diese auf ihre gegenseitige Anwendbarkeit zu überprüfen, * Szenarien zu entwickeln für zukünftige Anwendungen, * Forschungsziele zu definieren und diese thematisch und zeitlich zu gliedern. Zielgruppe ---------- Der Workshop richtet sich an Teilnehmer mit einem Hintergrund beispielsweise in der Entwicklung von Mensch-Computer Schnittstellen, CSCW, VR, Mixed Reality, Design, Usability und der Computerspiel-Entwicklung. Die Teilnehmer sollten diskussionsfreudig sein und bereit aktiv mitzuarbeiten. Gestaltung & Ergebnis des Workshops ------------------------ Der halbtägige Workshop wird schwerpunktmäßig in Form von Diskussionsrunden zur gemeinsamen Erarbeitung der vorangehend angeführten Ziele stattfinden. Die Beiträge der Teilnehmer und die Ergebnisse des Workshops werden auf der Workshop Website veröffentlicht. Anforderungen ------------- Die Teilnehmerzahl des Workshops ist beschränkt auf 20 Teilnehmer. Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme ist die Einreichung und Annahme eines Positionspapiers von einer halben bis einer Seite Länge, um den Workshop entsprechend des Profils der Teilnehmer gestalten zu können. Einreichungen per email an die Autorinnen sind möglich bis zum 15.August 2005. Das Positionspapier kann eine kurze Ideenskizze sein, ein aktuelles spiel-relevantes Projekt des Teilnehmers beschreiben oder auch nur das Interesse des Teilnehmers an einer Fragestellung formulieren.

A synthesis of the discussion that took place in the MPAC 2003 and 2004 workshops has led to the identification of the following areas where pervasive and ad-hoc environments challenge existing middleware: 1. Middleware support for programming adaptation and the associated decision making process. 2. Security, privacy and trust in pervasive environments and ad-hoc communities. 3. Benchmarks and frameworks for the comparative evaluation of middleware approaches for pervasive and ad-hoc computing. 4. Middleware abstraction and infrastructures for sensor based services. Although, the above challenges form a set of potential themes for the workshop, this list is by no means exhaustive. Consequently, the workshop seeks papers on the areas, but not limited to, listed below: . Sensor networks: applications, infrastructure, middleware support and emerging standards (OMG DDS, IEEE/NIST 1451.x, OSGi WireAdmin, JSR256 & 257 .); . Calculi for sensor data, and middleware support for their processing and distribution; . Sensor data mining; . Component-based and service-oriented architectures, and design patterns for sensor based services; . Theoretical foundations and middleware support for context based adaptation for mobile pervasive systems, and sensor-based services; . New notations for specifying context-sensitive systems; . Ad-hoc communities: applications, infrastructure and middleware support; . Roles and responsibilities in ad-hoc communities; . Group management and communication support for ad-hoc communities; . Ad-hoc network communications, quality of service, management and middleware support; . Service-connection middleware and architectures; . Support for zero configuration; . Middleware for self-assembly, self-configuration, self-distribution and autonomic computing in general; . Data management infrastructures for ad hoc and pervasive systems; . Trust, security, and privacy for pervasive systems and sensor based services; . Reliability and availability in pervasive systems and sensor based services; . Technology trade-offs (agent infrastructures, mobile code systems, event based middleware); . Resource discovery and management; . Implications of heterogeneity (addressing needs for protocol interaction across technologies). Submission ---------- The workshop format will be focused around submission of position papers of no more than 8 pages. Please submit your papers in PS or PDF using the ACM proceeding format (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html) to the web site http://www-adele.imag.fr/mpac05/ocs. Papers are solicited that present a view of the state of the art in a particular sub-problem area, identify specific middleware challenges, and suggest potential avenues for exploration by proposing models, abstractions and infrastructure components addressing these challenges. Approximately two thirds of the workshop will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of these papers, while the remaining third of the time will be devoted to the development of the research roadmap. Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the programme committee. The review process will be based upon identifying the relevance and potential of the position statement to contribute to the elaboration of the roadmap and to stimulate discussion. All accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library as well as in a hard-copy companion proceedings issued to the workshop participants. Appropriate publication of extended versions of workshop submissions and the research roadmap along similar lines to the forthcoming special issue on middleware and systems software for pervasive computing of the Journal of Personal and Ubiquitous, is being investigated.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: MHWMN'05 Workshop Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 21:16:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: "OptimaNumerics" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> First Call for Papers ===================== The IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks 2005 (IEEE MHWMN'05) (http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2005/CFP.html) To be held in conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2005) Washington DC, USA, November 7-11, 2005 AIM and SCOPE ------------- The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. TOPICS ------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: -Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management -Quality of services (QoS) delivery in MHWMN -Robust and scalable routing protocols for MHWMN -MAC protocols for MHWMN -Self-configuration and synchronization for MHWMN -Security issues in MHWMN -Topology control and management for MHWMN -Mobility models and location management in MHWMN -Cross-layer design and interactions for MHWMN -Modeling and performance evaluation for MHWMN -Algorithms for localization and signal processing in MHWMN -Implementation testbeds for MHWMN -Operating systems and middleware for MHWMN SUBMISSIONS ----------- Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is eight (8) pages.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for papers - OSIHPA 2005 Workshop Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2005 15:18:42 -0400 From: Ronald Mraz <mraz(a)us.ibm.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu =============================== CALL FOR PAPERS - OSIHPA 2005 =============================== 1st International Workshop on Operating System Interference in High Performance Applications OSIHPA 2005 In conjunction with the PACT 05 http://www.pactconf.org/ September 17, 2005, Saint Louis, Missouri High performance applications require efficient coordination of execution between parallel processes to insure that high bandwidth, low latency communications can be utilized to the fullest potential. Having the individual components of a parallel application depended upon uncoordinated efforts of commodity operating system schedulers can reduce the performance of a parallel machine significantly. Furthermore, the performance can be reduced to the point that scalability is impaired. The goal of the workshop is to better understand the impact that operating system interference has on multithreading, increased scalability and other new technologies. In this workshop, we seek to bring together diverse participants who are managing this problem through hardware, scheduling, operating systems and compilers. We encourage active participation from processor architects, system architects, operating systems designers, virtual machine architects, compiler writers, performance analysts, and developers. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) * Characterization and scheduling of multithreaded execution environments * Characterization of runtime interaction among the OS, VM, and memory system * Characterization of runtime libraries and their impact on behavior and performance * Effects of architectural features on workload behavior and architecture enhancements for managing OS interference. * Characterization of memory access and allocation patterns, heap structure and usage, and garbage collection techniques * Emerging benchmarks of managed applications, including classes of applications ranging from clients, servers, embedded and real-time systems * Profiling methods and tools for measuring, understanding, and optimizing the behavior of managed applications * Online feedback-directed optimizations * Measurements and techniques for identifying bottlenecks in applications * Implications of security, distribution, and concurrency in managing operating system interference. * Impact of optimizations on workloads Important Dates and Deadlines * Submission: July 18, 2005 * Notification: August 17, 2005 * Final Papers: September 1, 2005 Submission Guidelines We invite participation from both researchers and developers, who have knowledge of operating system interference in parallel environments that should be shared. We will accept a paper submission of 6-8 pages in length which should be written in standard IEEE format for conference proceedings. It is expected that an accepted submission of this type will result in a final paper appearing in the workshop's proceedings. Instructions for submission will be posted at this site at a later date. http://research.ihost.com/osihpa/index.html Organizers Ronald Mraz IBM Research 19 Skyline Drive Hawthorne, NY 10532 Email: mraz(a)us.ibm.com Ronald Minnich Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, NM 87545 Email: rminnich(a)lanl.gov Fabrizio Petrini Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, NM 87545 Email: fabrizio(a)lanl.gov _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please, find below the following CFP. Best wishes, Pedro M. Ruiz Univ. of Murcia We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2005 1st International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2005 (www.mass05.wpi.edu) Washington, DC, USA, November 7-10, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the researh community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. 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 behaviour 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 main 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 for ad hoc networks *Hybrid networks and wireless Internet *Security in ad hoc networks *Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery *Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks *Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks *Quality of service in medium access control and routing *Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks *Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: June 29, 2005 Acceptance Notification: July 29, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: August 26, 2005 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.

In many cases, as well as in aerospace applications, the wireless choice is a must. In other cases, wireless means resource optimization, as in the case of Wireless LANs. Cable networks and the Internet are not sufficient to support applications in some environments. People may require news on the web in hazardous environments. Moreover, in the presence of infrastructure, traffic bottlenecks of terrestrial networks and traditional links could make the service highly inefficient, if not useful. Therefore, there is increasing commercial interest to use wireless in modern telecommunications systems such as local area services, interactivity and possibility of building networks adapted to the different needs; tele-learning; managing activity of the Public Administration; bank and financial services; industrial activity located remotely; broadcasting and backbone access; international connections; tele-medicine; data recovery; video-surveillance; application in rural environments; applications for vehicles, trains and planes; and tactical communications, among others. Offering real services with a specific guarantee of Quality of Service (QoS) over wireless systems (including WLAN, radio and satellite) is very challenging as it implies the need to solve challenging research and development issues due to the peculiarity of the application environment. This issue of Computers and Electrical Engineering (C & EE) Journal is aimed at soliciting recent original and previously unpublished research results that deal with technological solutions, protocols, applications, performance analysis of Wireless Networks, including WLANs, WMANs, radio networks, 3G and beyond systems, military tactical and satellite networks.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networking Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 16:03:54 -0400 (EDT) From: Jun Zheng <vjzheng(a)site.uottawa.ca> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ===================================================== * Call for Papers * * * * IEEE Network Special Issue on * * * * Wireless Sensor Networking * *==================================================== http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/special.html Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) recently received tremendous attention from both academia and industry because of its promise of a wide range of potential applications in both civil and military areas. A WSN consists of a large number of small sensor nodes with sensing, data processing, and communication capabilities, which are deployed in a region of interest and collaborate to accomplish a common task, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and industry process control. Distinguished from traditional wireless networks, WSNs are characterized of dense node deployment, unreliable sensor node, frequent topology change, and severe power, computation, and memory constraints. These unique characteristics and constraints present many new challenges to the design and implementation of WSNs, such as energy conservation, self-organization, efficient data dissemination, and fault tolerance. For example, energy efficiency is the key to prolonging the network lifetime and is thus of primary importance in WSNs. It must be considered not only at the physical layer but also at the link layer and the network layer in sensor network design. Although many networking protocols and algorithms have been developed for traditional wireless ad hoc networks, they cannot effectively address the unique characteristics and constraints and application requirements of sensor networks. To meet the new challenges, innovative protocols and algorithms are needed to achieve energy efficiency, flexible scalability and adaptability, and good network performance. For example, it is highly desirable to develop new energy-efficient protocols for topology discovery, self-organization, medium access control, route discovery, and data dissemination. An efficient query processing and data aggregation algorithm can significantly reduce the number of transmissions of sensor nodes and thus provide substantial energy savings and prolong the lifetime of the network. In addition, open standards are important and imperative to facilitate and improve the development of WSNs. To realize the vision of WSNs, a large amount of research and development activities are going on in recent years. The purpose of this special issue is to expose the readership of IEEE Network to the latest research and development progress in this hot and exciting area. Scope of Contributions This special issue aims to publish a collection of research and survey articles that focus on the latest research and development results in all networking aspects of WSNs. Original research and survey articles are solicited from all researchers and practitioners. Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to the readers outside the specialty of the article. As applicable to WSNs, topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Network architectures and protocols * Topology discovery and self-organization * Energy-efficient medium access control (MAC) * Energy-efficient routing and data dissemination * Query processing and data aggregation * Fault tolerance and self-healing * Field trials and standardization activities Manuscript Submission Authors should submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF format via email to one of the guest editors. With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html. Important Dates Submission deadline: September 1, 2005 Acceptance notification: January 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: March 1, 2006 Publication date: 2nd Quarter, 2006 Guest Editors Dr. Jun Zheng School of Information Technology and Engineering University of Ottawa 800 King Edward Street Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Canada Email: jzheng(a)ieee.org Dr. Pascal Lorenz University of Haute Alsace IUT, 34 rue du Grillenbreit Colmar, 68008, France Email: lorenz(a)ieee.org Dr. Petre Dini Cisco Systems, Inc. 170 West Tasman Drive San Jose, CA 95134-1706, USA Email: pdini(a)cisco.com _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CfP] GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch "Energiebe wusste Systeme und Methoden" Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 14:19:39 +0200 From: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-ERLANGEN.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organization: University of Erlangen To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE !!!Terminverschiebung!!! ============================================================== GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch „Energiebewußte Systeme und Methoden“ 11./12. Oktober 2005, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen ============================================================== Energie ist eine kritische bzw. sogar die kritischste Ressource bei vielen modernen mobilen Rechensystemen und deren Anwendungen vom Laptop über das Mobiltelefon bis hin zu Sensornetzwerken. Energiebewußtsein und energiegewahres Arbeiten sind für mobile Systeme die Grundvoraussetzung. Somit stellt dieses Arbeitsgebiet einen wichtigen Bereich der aktuellen Forschung im Bereich Systemsoftware (Betriebs- und Kommunikationssysteme) dar. Insbesondere entstehen, getrieben durch immer kleinere und mobilere Endgeräte, neue Anwendungsszenarien mit hohen Anforderungen an Verfügbarkeit, Langlebigkeit, Adaptivität und Selbstorganisation. Forschungsgebiete ----------------- Betriebssysteme: Einzig das Betriebssystem kennt alle strukturellen Eigenschaften der darunter liegenden Hardware wie auch der laufenden Anwendungen, die implizit durch die Aktivierung von Hardwarekomponenten Energie verbrauchen. Wegen dieser Vermittlerrolle konzentriert sich die Forschung auf Betriebssystemstrategien, die durch Wissen über die Gesamtheit der internen Abläufe den Energieverbrauch wirksam beeinflussen können. Das Betriebssystem kann dabei die Hardwarekomponenten in den jeweils für das Gesamtsystem optimalen Betriebsmodus versetzen und die Verweildauer in den jeweiligen Betriebsmodi durch eine energiebewußte Aktivitätensteuerung beeinflussen. Ein Betriebsmodus mit reduzierter Energieaufnahme impliziert dabei in der Regel eine reduzierte Geschwindigkeit bzw. eine höhere Zugriffsverzögerung. Rechnernetze: Mobile Netze zeichnen sich durch die Nutzung von Radiowellen als Übertragungskanal aus. Funkübertragung ist bei hohen Datenraten und/oder großen Reichweiten sehr teuer in Bezug auf die benötigt Energie für die Transmission. Basierend auf der eingesetzten Technologie für die Übertragung und den genutzten Protokollen, kann die Anzahl der Sende- und Empfangszeit minimiert werden. Dies stellt einen wesentlichen Beitrag zu energiebewußter Kommunikation dar. Kommunikationsprotokolle: Aufbauend auf den eingesetzten Übertragungstechniken, lassen sich die Protokolle der Datenkommunikation für energiebewußte Funktion anpassen. Sogenanntes Cross-Layer-Design hilft, Verzerrungs- und Störeffekte zwischen den Protokollen der Sicherungs-, Netzwerk- und Transportschicht zu vermeiden bzw. zu minimieren. Neue Kommunikationsparadigmen helfen in hochmobilen Netzen den Kommunikationsaufwand für Statusverwaltung und Selbstorganisation der Netze zu vermeiden. Middleware: Mit der zunehmenden Vernetzung mobiler und eingebetteter Systeme ist das energiebewußte Arbeiten von Basisfunktionalität sogenannter Middleware-Dienste, wie Kommunikation und Vermittlung, unabdingbar. Insbesondere kann auf dieser Schicht nicht isoliert gearbeitet werden, sondern es sind schichtenübergreifende Umsetzungen der Anwendungsanforderungen auf Middleware-Funktionalität, den Mechanismen des zugrunde liegenden Betriebssystems und den Kommunikationsdiensten zu entwickeln. Querschnittsthema aller Forschungsgebiete ist das energiebewußte Arbeiten. Ziel des Fachgesprächs soll es unter anderem sein, Forschungsinhalte zwischen den einzelnen Fachgebieten miteinander zu verknüpfen und auf diesem Weg neue Synergieeffekte zu schaffen, die helfen, gerade die Querschnittsbelange Energieeffizienz und allgemeine Ressourcenverwaltung zu optimieren. Inhalte des Fachgesprächs ------------------------- Unter dem thematischen Schwerpunkt energiebewußte Systeme und Methoden sind Beiträge zu allen relevanten Themengebieten erwünscht. Dazu gehören unter anderem aber nicht ausschließlich: • Betriebssystemunterstützung • Kommunikationsmethoden • Protokollentwurf • Simulationstechniken • Schichtenübergreifende Entwürfe energiebewußter Systeme • Unterstützung von energiebewußtem Arbeiten durch Hardware Beiträge -------- Beiträge sollen als Kurzfassungen (extended abstracts) 2-6 Seiten im Springer LNCS-Format eingereicht werden. Es werden Beiträgen in deutscher und englischer Sprache angenommen. Die angenommenen Beiträge werden als technischer Bericht publiziert. Weitere Informationen werden unter http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/fg-energie/ bereitgestellt. Einreichung als PDF bitte an Falko Dressler (dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de). ----------------------------------------------- Wichtige Daten: Frist für die Einreichungen: 16.9.2005 Benachrichtigung: 4.10.2005 Tagung: 11./12.10.2005 ----------------------------------------------- Organisation ------------ Dieses Fachgespräch wird von Falko Dressler organisiert. Die Fachgespräche unterstehen einem Leitungsgremium bestehend aus Dr. Falko Dressler (Universität Erlangen), Dr. Christian Becker (Universität Stuttgart), Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa (Universität Karlsruhe) und Prof. Dr. Dirk Timmermann (Universität Rostock). Aufgrund einer Terminkollision mit der Jahrestagung der GI-Fachgruppe Betriebssysteme haben wir uns entschieden, das Fachgespräch auf Oktober zu verschieben. Dies hat den gleichzeitigen Vorteil der zeitlichen und örtlichen Nähe zum Fachgespräch „Systemsoftware für Pervasive Computing“, welches auch in Erlangen stattfinden wird. -- Dr.-Ing.

Fitzek <ff(a)kom.aau.dk> ======================================================== Call for Papers Special Issue on Cooperation in Wireless Networks Springer - Wireless Personal Communication http://kom.aau.dk/~ff/CfPCoNet.pdf <http://kom.aau.dk/%7Eff/CfPCoNet.pdf> http://kom.aau.dk/~ff/CfPCoNet.html <http://kom.aau.dk/%7Eff/CfPCoNet.html> "The real egoistic behavior is to cooperate!" K. Edwin **** Submission Deadline --- Oct. 1, 2005 **** ======================================================== Cooperation between devices in wireless networks has been identified as one of the key technology enablers required to facilitate next generation wireless communication systems. Much of the existing research in wireless networking assumes a communication between one sender and one or multiple receiver(s). For reasons of self-interest, users may however allow terminals to engage in cooperative behavior, resulting in improved overall network performance. For cooperation, terminals will connect to each other using a short range communication link and simultaneously being connected to the centralized access point. This configuration allows many forms of cooperation. For this special issue, we distinguish between altruism and cooperation by requiring that cooperation benefit each entity involved. From this perspective, pure relaying is an example of altruism and not cooperation. Cooperation is not limited to a single ISO/OSI protocol layer, but can be addressed across multiple protocol layers. The focus of this call is to solicit novel papers addressing cooperation over all protocol layers from physical to application layer. =============================== Submission and Important Dates Submission deadline 1st October Notification 15th January Final version 15th February Planed Issue 2nd half 2006 Papers should follow the Springer format (11pt, single column, double spaced) and not exceed twenty pages including figures and tables.

Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas of cooperative wireless networks: Architectural Principles Multi-Access Capability Network Coding Radio Access Technologies Cooperative Processing Resource Management Distributed Radio Cooperative Channel Coding Heterogenous Networks Terminal design Self-organizing networks Cognitive Networks Middle-Ware Grid-Computing Source coding for cooperation Cooperating Services =============================== Guest Editors Frank H.P.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ICEC] CfP ECSCW2005 - Workshop on Computer Games and CSCW Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 13:32:45 +0200 From: Rauterberg, G.W.M. <G.W.M.Rauterberg(a)tue.nl> To: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS ECSCW 2005 - 9th European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work Workshop: Computer Games and CSCW "What Can We Learn About Collaboration, Cooperation, and Community?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of the Workshop: 18./19. September 2005 Location: Paris, France Submission Deadline: 20. June 2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP ------------------------------ Computer Games and Collaborative Working Environments - at first glance this appears to be a surprising combination. However, there are several overlaps between these two research areas. The aim of the workshop is to study commonalities and particularities in the design of Computer Games and CSCW systems in their structure and as a learning environment. Nowadays Computer Games are not only used for entertainment purposes but become a serious issue in research and business. Games have long provided a structured environment for quickly learning complex collaborative or cooperative behaviours through play. Computer Games find application in today's working environments as so called 'Serious Games' for training and simulation purposes, and share as a collaborative activity several features and requirements with collaborative working environments. Games may combine successfully traditional aspects of gaming with the anytime, anywhere approach of modern information technology as in pervasive games. The aim of the workshop is to create a mutual understanding of how CSCW systems and Computer Games can benefit from each other in technology-mediated settings such as computer or video games, augmented reality, virtual reality, cross-media, mobile devices, live action role plays, or massively multi-player online role playing games (MMORPG). We are interested in examining structures which both research areas, Computer Games and CSCW systems have in common, and which can be shared in future applications. Join us for a single-day workshop on Computer Games and CSCW and contribute with your position paper. A panel discussion will study in general how CSCW Systems and Computer Games can benefit from each other. It will cover new uses for games, ways of incorporating new methods into traditional CSCW usability testing, and ways of pursuing new goals such as peer or collaborative learning with games. Breakout groups will elaborate on panel topics, and also devise next steps for this interest community. The workshop will be highly interactive, allowing time for interpersonal, small group communication, questions, and discussion. The workshop will bring together researchers, practitioners and designers from several disciplines, including game design and development, communication, psychology, computer science, graphics, visual art, etc. Participants are selected based on submitted position papers. A workshop report will be generated for SIGCHI Bulletin, and workshop participants are invited to submit extended versions of their position papers for publication in the journal Interactive Technology and Smart Education. SUBMISSIONS ----------- Participants will be asked to electronically submit the following: 1. A position paper of no more than six pages (in the ECSCW paper format), which should include either/or: (a) A discussion of interest on collaborative learning in Computer Games. (b) A description of a practical approach in development of Computer Games in a Collaborative Working Environment. (c) Examples or some discussion on lessons learned for CSCW systems by having taken certain approaches to design or evaluation. 2. A profile of the author, as an appendix, consisting of: (a) A short biography (no more than 250 words) (b) The discipline(s) you are situated in (c) A brief description of your relevant work, with references (e.g. URLs) Please submit your position papers to: Ecscw-games-workshop(a)fit.fraunhofer.de IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * 20.
