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 deadline1st October Notification15th January Final version15th February Planed Issue2nd half 2006 Papers should follow the Springer format (11pt, single column, double spaced) and not exceed twenty pages including figures and tables.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Paper: JSAC-MRNM (The deadline is approaching.) Date: Sun, 22 May 2005 13:14:11 -0700 (PDT) From: Fan Zhao <fanzhao(a)ucdavis.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications MOBILE ROUTERS AND NETWORK MOBILITY http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/mobile_routers.html Network mobility support is concerned with managing the mobility of an entire network that is changing its point of attachment to the Internet and thus its reachability in the Internet topology. If network mobility is not explicitly supported by some mechanisms, existing sessions break and connectivity to the global Internet is lost. A mobile network is composed of Mobile Router(s) (MR) and Mobile Network Nodes (MNN) that can be fixed or mobile. There has been rapid development in network mobility support, i.e., providing Internet connectivity to the networks that move using mobile routers since the inception of Mobile IPv4 in 1996. Seamless Internet access in public transportation such as in trains and busses can be possible if mobile routers are used. Cars with low-power sensors seamlessly connected to the Internet constitute yet another example of networks which move. To date, some airline companies announced Internet connectivity support during commercial flights and this trend is expected to accelerate and cover most if not all flights. This issue is focused on modeling, analysis, and simulation of network mobility support protocols. We solicit papers presenting original and unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics: * Modeling and Analysis of Network Mobility o Modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile router o Protocols for route optimization o Mobility issues inside a mobile network o Mobile IPv6 extensions for route optimization o Nested mobile networks o Multihomed mobile networks o Operational issues to deploy mobile networks o Auto-configuration for mobile networks o Mobile router support on cellular phone platforms * Services in the Networks that Move o Service advertisement and discovery protocols in networks that move o Specifications nad models of services for network mobility o Encryption and authentication in service access for network mobility * Security Issues in Network Mobility o Security analysis of present network mobility support protocols o Applications of AAA and EAP to network mobility o Interaction with security-enhanced modules in other layers (vertically) or other middle boxes (horizontally) Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. Authors MUST submit their draft manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website, together with a short abstract (approximately 150 words) in the EDAS website form. Please note potential authors should create their own accounts through the EDAS peer review website before submitting manuscript(s). EDAS will accept manuscripts in PDF format only. There will be one round of reviewers and acceptance will be limited to those papers requiring only moderate revisions.

The technology to support this endeavor has progressed from diaries and painting, through pocket cameras, to the current era where capture is digital, and sound and image recording can be supplemented with such data as temperature, heart rate, location, Web pages visited, compute/device usage logs, and so on. A large proportion of multimedia research has focused on the representation, archival and transmission of media related to isolated events--single or group images of a party, a video of a graduation ceremony, and so on. This special issue is dedicated to an emerging area of research that deals with the continuous archival and retrieval of all media relating to personal experiences. The continuous archival paradigm fundamentally alters our relationship to biological memory, since analysis of such media powerfully augments human memory. Personal storage of a person's entire media throughout a lifetime has been desired and discussed since at least 1945, when Vannevar Bush published /As We May Think/, positing the "Memex" device "in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility." His vision was astonishingly broad for the time, including full-text search, annotations, hyperlinks, virtually unlimited storage, and even stereo cameras mounted on eyeglasses. In 2004, storage, sensor, and computing technology have progressed to the point of making Memex feasible and even affordable. Indeed, we can now look beyond Memex at new possibilities. Interest in this topic has been demonstrated by the success of two recent workshops: CARPE (at ACM Multimedia 04) and "Memory and Sharing of Experiences" (at Pervasive 04). Also, there is interest in funding such research, as evidenced by the DARPA Assist program and the UK Memories for Life grand challenge proposal. **Potential topics** This special issue encourages submissions on topics relevant to CARPE, including: * Capture/sensors (including scanning, wearable, embedded, different kinds of sensors, and robotic assistance) and experiential sampling * Data storage, management, organization, and retrieval * Insight (content analysis and data mining) * User interface issues, including visualization, authoring, story-telling, and annotation * Applications, such as personal museum, health-support, childcare, research tools, and meeting capture. * Security, privacy, and legal issues Articles should be no more than eight magazine pages, where a page is 750 words and a quarter-page image counts as 200 words. Cite only 15-20 of the most critical references, and consider providing background in sidebars for nonexpert readers. Color images can be interspersed through the article and should be limited to a total of 10.

It involves important technological areas like computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), workflow, computer- assisted design, databases, distributed systems, and concurrent programming. In the past few years, the prosperity of cooperative computing has been accelerated by the ubiquity of the Internet and the advent of wireless technologies, giving rise to the new research discipline of Collaborative Internet Computing (CIC). Now, cooperating parties can work over the Internet at any time and place. At the same time, we have also witnessed an enormous leap in communication speed/bandwidth as brought by advancement in technologies. This has opened up a wide range of new cooperative applications that were not feasible in the past. Since 2000, a series of three workshops on CIC have been organized by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The workshops have served as a platform for researchers in the related disciplines of CIC to present and exchange their latest works and ideas. Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of high quality submissions. Also, many important research results have been reported which subsequently have influenced other works on CIC. These have strengthened our belief that a community with common interest in CIC has been formed and a critical mass of researchers has been built up. This special issue will provide a forum for timely and in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying Cooperative Interactive Computing. Topics of interest include (but not limited to): * Agents and Brokers for Cooperative Computing * Human-Computer Interaction * Interaction Models and Protocols for Cooperative Systems * Internet Communication Infrastructure for Collaboration * Middleware for Collaboration * Java, CORBA, DCOM, and XML Cooperative Application * Workflow Systems * Mobile Cooperative Systems * Distributed Multimedia Systems * Enterprise Knowledge Management * Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing * Computer-Supported Cooperative Work * Evaluation Methodologies of Cooperative Systems * Case Studies Submission Guidelines: Please submit the electronic version of your paper to cic2004(a)comp.polyu.edu.hk.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ACM VANET 2005 - Deadline Extended Date: Thu, 5 May 2005 17:59:48 -0700 From: Chen-Nee Chuah <chuah(a)ece.ucdavis.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> In response to numerous requests, the submission deadline for ACM VANET 2005 has been extended to May 16, 2005. =========================================== CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2005 The Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2005 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Web site: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 16, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2005 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 13, 2005 The goal of this workshop is to explore the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Enabled by short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-roadside), the VANET vision includes vehicular realtime and safety applications, sharing the wireless channel with mobile applications from a large, decentralized array of commercial service providers. VANET safety applications include collision and other safety warnings. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. Following the success of VANET 2004 held last year in Philadelphia, VANET 2005, the Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks, will be held in Cologne, Germany, September 2, 2005, in conjunction with MobiCom 2005. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Safety and commercial applications * Protocol design (including low-power, cross-layer, etc.) * Security and privacy * Power control * Multi-channel organization and operation * Network management * Modulation and coding * Channel modeling The opportunities for VANET are growing rapidly. In December 2003, the U.S. FCC approved 75 MHz of spectrum for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), and the resulting DSRC system is expected to be the first wide-scale VANET in North America. In Japan, two DSRC standards have been adopted (the ARIB STD-T75 in 2001, the ARIB STD-T88 in 2004), and Japanese auto manufactures are working with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation in the third phase of an ambitious Advanced Safety Vehicle project. The German Ministry of Education and Research has sponsored the Fleetnet and Network on Wheels projects. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs. Creating high-performance, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community. Yet, certain limitations commonly assumed in ad hoc networks are mitigated in VANET. For example, VANET may marshal ample computational and power resources. Mobility patterns are constrained by road paths and driving speed restrictions. As opposed to sensor networks, VANET represents high resource/performance wireless technologies. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch × 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2005 web page at http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Please email questions related to paper submission or the technical program to vanet2005-pc-chairs(a)monarch.cs.rice.edu .

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Paper: JSAC-MRNM Date: Tue, 3 May 2005 10:56:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Fan Zhao <fanzhao(a)ucdavis.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications MOBILE ROUTERS AND NETWORK MOBILITY http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/mobile_routers.html Network mobility support is concerned with managing the mobility of an entire network that is changing its point of attachment to the Internet and thus its reachability in the Internet topology. If network mobility is not explicitly supported by some mechanisms, existing sessions break and connectivity to the global Internet is lost. A mobile network is composed of Mobile Router(s) (MR) and Mobile Network Nodes (MNN) that can be fixed or mobile. There has been rapid development in network mobility support, i.e., providing Internet connectivity to the networks that move using mobile routers since the inception of Mobile IPv4 in 1996. Seamless Internet access in public transportation such as in trains and busses can be possible if mobile routers are used. Cars with low-power sensors seamlessly connected to the Internet constitute yet another example of networks which move. To date, some airline companies announced Internet connectivity support during commercial flights and this trend is expected to accelerate and cover most if not all flights. This issue is focused on modeling, analysis, and simulation of network mobility support protocols. We solicit papers presenting original and unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics: * Modeling and Analysis of Network Mobility o Modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile router o Protocols for route optimization o Mobility issues inside a mobile network o Mobile IPv6 extensions for route optimization o Nested mobile networks o Multihomed mobile networks o Operational issues to deploy mobile networks o Auto-configuration for mobile networks o Mobile router support on cellular phone platforms * Services in the Networks that Move o Service advertisement and discovery protocols in networks that move o Specifications nad models of services for network mobility o Encryption and authentication in service access for network mobility * Security Issues in Network Mobility o Security analysis of present network mobility support protocols o Applications of AAA and EAP to network mobility o Interaction with security-enhanced modules in other layers (vertically) or other middle boxes (horizontally) Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. Authors MUST submit their draft manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website, together with a short abstract (approximately 150 words) in the EDAS website form. Please note potential authors should create their own accounts through the EDAS peer review website before submitting manuscript(s). EDAS will accept manuscripts in PDF format only. There will be one round of reviewers and acceptance will be limited to those papers requiring only moderate revisions.

Included in this email are the following: * Multimedia 2005 Conference Submission Deadline reminder * CFP Multimedia 2005 Video Program * Letter from Larry Rowe about ACM TOMCAP Journal http://acmmm05.comp.nus.edu.sg/ Please help us publicize this conference by forwarding this email to any interested colleagues. ************************************************************************ ******* SUBMISSION DEADLINES FOR MULTIMEDIA 2005 November 6-12, SINGAPORE 16 May 2005 Abstract Registration for Full Papers 23 May 2005 Submission deadline for Full Papers, Arts Exhibits for Interactive Arts Program, and Videos for Video Program 20 Jun 2005 Submission deadline for Short Papers, Short Papers for Interactive Arts Program, and Short Videos for Video Program 20 Jun 2005 Proposals for Panel due 29 Jul 2005 Submission deadline for Workshop, Open Source Software Competition, Technical Demonstration, and Doctoral Symposium Papers The full conference CFP can be found at: http://acmmm05.comp.nus.edu.sg/ Details for subscribing/unsubscribing from this list can be found below. ************************************************************************ ******* -- MULTIMEDIA 2005 VIDEO PROGRAM -- Call for Video Demonstrations We invite you to make a video for ACM Multimedia 2005. This forum is an ideal way to demonstrate your tool, system, application or brave new idea without having to bring the equipment for a "live" demo. Even if you have never made a video before, we encourage you to consider this opportunity for Video Submissions at ACM Multimedia 2005. Video Submissions Category There are three categories of video submissions: + Video demonstrations (8 minutes) - gives a self-explanatory demo of a tool, system, or application. In addition we would like to encourage media artists to submit work that exemplifies new trends in video art or describes an interactive multimedia art application. + Video visions (8 minutes) - describes a new brave idea of multimedia technology. + Video figures (3 minutes) - accompanies a regular or short paper submission and serves as an illustration. Accepted video demonstrations and video visions are presented during the video demonstration session, whereas video figures are presented together with the paper during the allocated session. Videos will be published on a dedicated web site at the SIGMM website (see http://www.sigmm.org/apache/video2004/ - for previous years). The best video demonstration and video vision will get a special podium. Submission details and information: http://acmmm05.comp.nus.edu.sg/videoprogram.html ************************************************************************ ******* -- Letter from Larry Rowe -- An Open Letter to the SIGMM Community: I am writing this message to ask for your help with the new ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications (TOMCCAP). Many of you know that the community was unhappy that the Springer-Verlag MMS Journal was not included in the ACM Digital Library and that it did not incorporate networking and applications specifically in it's topic area. As a result, a recommendation was made at the SIGMM Retreat at Multimedia 2003 that we create our own journal to be published by ACM. Professor Nicolas Georganas generously agreed to undertake the task of creating the journal, which just published its first issue - see http://www.acm.org/tomccap/ The transactions will be published four times per year. We need your support to make this an outstanding publication. Please consider submitting papers and agreeing to review papers sent to you by members of the editorial board. At the very least, I think 20%-30% of the papers published in our annual conference should appear in the transactions. The ACM rules on prior publication require that the journal paper be at least 25% different than the prior publication. We all know that the limitation on pages imposed by the conference proceedings constrains our ability to explain all of the algorithms, experiments, and nuances in a research project. Consequently, it should be easy to modify a conference publication for the transactions. Another way you could support the transactions would be to consider editing a special issue on an important topic. I suspect each of the workshops at the Multimedia Conference could identify and shepard 3-4 important papers that reflect the important ideas in the area. Having been a guest editor, I know this is a lot of work. But, please consider doing it as the contribution you will be making is both valuable and, dare I say, good for your career. To submit a paper or investigate other issues related to the transactions, just go to the TOMCCAP website listed above. Best wishes, Larry Rowe TOMCAP web site - http://www.acm.org/tomccap/

The security research community has mainly focused on securing routing and is only recently widening its scope of analysis to other security areas. The cryptography research community has mainly focused on standard networks, like the Internet; however, cryptographic protocols for the Internet face serious challenges to be adapted to the ad-hoc, partial-connectivity, mobile, and infrastructureless nature of ad-hoc networks.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ACM VANET 2005 Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2005 21:03:39 -0700 From: Chen-Nee Chuah <chuah(a)ece.ucdavis.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP, but please forward to anyone you believe may be interested -- thanks!] CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2005 The Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2005 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Web site: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 9, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2005 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 13, 2005 The goal of this workshop is to explore the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Enabled by short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-roadside), the VANET vision includes vehicular realtime and safety applications, sharing the wireless channel with mobile applications from a large, decentralized array of commercial service providers. VANET safety applications include collision and other safety warnings. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. Following the success of VANET 2004 held last year in Philadelphia, VANET 2005, the Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks, will be held in Cologne, Germany, September 2, 2005, in conjunction with MobiCom 2005. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Safety and commercial applications * Protocol design (including low-power, cross-layer, etc.) * Security and privacy * Power control * Multi-channel organization and operation * Network management * Modulation and coding * Channel modeling The opportunities for VANET are growing rapidly. In December 2003, the U.S. FCC approved 75 MHz of spectrum for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), and the resulting DSRC system is expected to be the first wide-scale VANET in North America. In Japan, two DSRC standards have been adopted (the ARIB STD-T75 in 2001, the ARIB STD-T88 in 2004), and Japanese auto manufactures are working with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation in the third phase of an ambitious Advanced Safety Vehicle project. The German Ministry of Education and Research has sponsored the Fleetnet and Network on Wheels projects. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs. Creating high-performance, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community. Yet, certain limitations commonly assumed in ad hoc networks are mitigated in VANET. For example, VANET may marshal ample computational and power resources. Mobility patterns are constrained by road paths and driving speed restrictions. As opposed to sensor networks, VANET represents high resource/performance wireless technologies. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch × 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2005 web page at http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Please email questions related to paper submission or the technical program to vanet2005-pc-chairs(a)monarch.cs.rice.edu .

The deadline for submission is coming up very soon. Please find enclosed the CfP for a workshop that is particularly relevant to the of E-Next WG5. This is an excellent opportunity to present your work in this area and I am counting on you to receive many good submissions from E-NEXT members to make CANET05 a success. Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CfP - Call for Papers ===================== International Workshop on Context Aware Networks Technologies and Applications (CANET'05) Held in conjunction with MATA'05 and INTELLCOMM'05, October 17-19, 2005, Montreal Canada MATA'05: 2nd International Conference on Mobility Aware Technologies and Applications (Formerly Mobile Agents for Telecommunication Applications);_ www.congresbcu.com/mata2005/ _INTELLICOMM'05: The 2005 IFIP International Conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems; www.congresbcu.com/intellcomm2005/ *SCOPE *Context-aware networking enables new types of applications and services in ambient environments. These applications can help users react positively to unexpected events such as emergency situations, acquire value-added services, receive messages in the most useful and suitable manner, or obtain compensation when planned activities are changed or delayed. Exploiting network-related context information can make mobile communication networks simpler, more efficient, and more powerful. For instance, mobility management can benefit from context information about the current position and direction of a vehicle, which could be provided by a navigation system connected to a vehicular area network, and information about wireless access possibilities in the then-known geographical area to improve its handover operations. Other examples are delaying the transmission of an email over an expensive connection when context information predicts the availability of a cheap hot-spot connection to be reached in the near future. This view of context management differs from the traditional focus on user preferences regarding applications and services; it rather takes a network-centric view: Protocols, not applications, adapt themselves based on context information. The aim of the workshop is to provide a unique opportunity for researchers, software and application developers, and computer network technologists to discuss new developments on the context aware mobile and ambient networks technologies and applications. *Relevant topics* Papers describing original research, surveys and applications in the following areas are solicited: * Context aware platforms and architecture for Ambient Networks. * Context in Grids systems and architectures. * Context Ontologies for Grids. * Context Identification, Retrieval and Management in Services and Networks * Provisioning, Maintenance and Management of Quality of Context. * Context Ontologies for Ambient Networks. * Context in Peer-to-Peer Networks and Services * Context in Autonomic Communications. * Context aware Self- adapting, Self-configurable, Self-Management Networks and Grids. * Autonomic Context aware communications and systems management. * Programmable Context aware Networks and Services. * Security, Trust and Privacy in Context sensitive Communications. * Context in Content Oriented Network & Service Management. * Context in Sensors Networks and Services. * Implementation and experiences with context aware networking infrastructure and components * * *Type of papers* * Full papers of up to 10 single-spaced pages including figures, tables, references and annexes * Position / work in progress papers of up to 2 pages * * *Submission procedure *CANET'05 is using MATA'05 submission procedure at: _http://www.congresbcu.com/mata2005/en/call_for_papers.htm _Please follow the guidelines and Select the TOPIC:" Ambient Networks -CANET05 papers". *Evaluation Process and Proceedings Publication *All papers are going to be reviewed by the scientific committee.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Final Call for papers: Wireless Mesh Networking Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2005 02:27:12 -0400 (EDT) From: Xudong Wang <wxudong(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ============================================================== Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Wireless Mesh Networking: Theories, Protocols, and Systems http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/mesh_cfp.htm SUBMISSSION DEADLINE: April 15, 2005. ============================================================== Wireless mesh networking has become an indispensable technique for the next generation wireless networks. It is critical to large-scale wireless networks with no pre-existing infrastructure. It enables quick-and-easy extension of a local area network into a wide area. 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 various flavors of routing and transport protocols. However, the work is far from enough. The state-of-art is insufficient for deploying sizable wireless mesh networks. Important aspects such as network radio range, network capacity, scalability, manageability, and security remain open problems. To address capacity and scaling concerns, researchers are experimenting with systems that use multiple radios, frequency-agile radios, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas. Further, there are renewed interests in carrying out research on MAC protocols and cross-layer design that breaks the traditional networking layering norm. It is clear that such novel techniques are needed to increase system capacity, extend network range, and increase scale, if such networks are to become viable. Similarly, while there exist several security protocols for wireless networks, especially for IEEE 802.11 WLANs, it is still not clear how one can build a trustworthy network in a multi-hop ad hoc environment like wireless mesh networks. Finally, although new research results are published each year, progress on practical protocol implementation and system integration has lagged considerably. To ensure wireless mesh networks to be widely deployed, many research groups are starting to accumulate practical experience through building testbeds and deploying trial systems. In parallel to these efforts, several IEEE standard groups are also actively pursuing wireless mesh networking techniques. This special issue is devoted to the research and development of practical, deployable, and low-cost wireless mesh networks. Papers from both industry and academia will be solicited through an open call-for-papers. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, -- Techniques for capacity and range extension -- Multi-radio, multi-spectral systems -- Cognitive and frequency-agile radios -- Multichannel MACs, MAC protocol for directional antennas and MIMO systems -- High-performance scalable single-channel MACs -- Programmable MACs -- Cross-layer design and optimization -- Trustworthy networks, privacy and security models -- Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems -- Mobility, power, and topology management -- Network management with zero-configuration -- Practical system architecture of wireless mesh networks -- Testbed and deployment experience -- Application and usage scenarios -- Emerging standards: IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.15.5, IEEE 802.16 mesh, IEEE 802.20 mesh ============================================================== SUBMISSION Manuscript Due: April 15, 2005 Acceptance Notification: August 15, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: October 15, 2005 Publication: December, 2005 Prospective authors should follow the following guidelines to prepare their manuscripts: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html Please send PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to Xudong Wang (wxudong(a)ieee.org) no later than April 1, 2005. ============================================================== GUEST EDITORS Xudong Wang Senior Staff Research Engineer Kiyon, Inc.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [IEEE Network] CFP Special Issue on Multimedia over BroadbandWireless Networks - Deadline June 10th Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2005 17:57:37 +0200 From: Marco Conti <marco.conti(a)iit.cnr.it> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on: Multimedia over Broadband Wireless Networks http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/cfpnetwork2006.htm **** Submission Deadline --- June 10, 2005 **** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Today, the wireless Internet provides access primarily to Web-based content and services. However, the emergence and adoption of broadband wireless access standards, such as IEEE 802.16, 802.16a and 802.11a/g, offers new possibilities for wireless delivery of rich multimedia content and services, like video mail, video streaming, audio conferencing, interactive games, conversational navigation services, and future immersive communications in virtual environments. Advances in technology are enabling a world of converged wireless and mobile communications, where users access a variety of media formats using a single device. Some of these novel networking protocols and technologies include IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, UWB, Mobile IP and its variants, IP paging, wireless IP QoS and SIP. Similarly, newer multimedia standards such as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC provide significant improvements in compression, and specifications such as 3GPP Version 6 provide the ability to adapt the multimedia delivery for wireless networks with varying transmission characteristics and mobile devices with different capabilities. The goal of this special issue is to present a concise reference of state-of-the-art efforts in delivering multimedia over emerging packet-based broadband wireless networks. Specifically, the special issue is intended to present tutorials, survey and original research articles (in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists) on emerging architectures, protocols and services for delivering multimedia over single-hop or mesh broadband wireless networks. It also focuses on the protocols needed to integrate the application layer requirements, such as QoS, security, etc., with the base functionality offered by the standardized 802.16/11 and other WLAN and WMAN interfaces. Of particular interest is the inter-play between newer techniques of multimedia encoding and streaming and the network-layer features to exploit these techniques. Following are the topics of interest for which we solicit contributions for this special issue: * IP-based multimedia delivery and services over WLANs and WMANs * QoS for real-time voice and video in broadband wireless networks * Media multicasting and broadcasting problems and solutions for wireless links * Caching and content management in WLANs, WMANs and 3G Networks * VoIP over wireless networks * Multimedia over single-hop and mesh-based wireless networks * Multimedia delivery for broadband vehicular networks * Multimedia services for ambient intelligent and pervasive environments * Broadband multimedia prototypes and system experiences * Broadcast and point-to-point multimedia in indoor & outdoor environments, e.g. homes, convention centers, sports arenas Manuscript Submission ===================== Papers should be submitted in PDF format at http://colibri.iit.cnr.it.

[Fwd: 2nd Call for Papers Workshop "Sicherheit in komplexen, vernetzten Umgebungen"]
by Lars Wolf 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2nd Call for Papers Workshop "Sicherheit in komplexen, vernetzten Umgebungen" Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2005 17:36:03 +0200 From: Michael Meier <mm(a)INFORMATIK.TU-COTTBUS.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 Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. Fachgruppe SIDAR Call for Papers Workshop Sicherheit in komplexen, vernetzten Umgebungen Im Zeitraum 19.-22. September 2005 Bonn, Deutschland Workshop im Rahmen der 35. Jahrestagung "Informatik LIVE!" der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. www.gi-fg-sidar.de/skvu2005 Einen unaufhaltsamen Trend der heutigen Informationsgesellschaft stellt die zunehmende Vernetzung von Computersystemen in den unterschiedlichen Bereichen dar. Den vielfältigen sich daraus ergebenden Vorteilen steht eine zunehmende Menge von Bedrohungen entgegen, die auf vielen Ebenen einen Einfluss auf das Leben und die Gesellschaft haben können. Getreu dem Motto "Informatik LIVE!" der diesjährigen Jahrestagung der Gesell- schaft für Informatik möchte sich der hier beschriebene Workshop mit diesen Einflüssen und gezielten Reaktionen darauf auseinandersetzen. Die Ziele und Methoden der "klassischen" Informationssicherheit werden auch in zukünftigen komplexen vernetzten Umgebungen Bestand haben, jedoch verlagern sich die Schwerpunkte und Abhängigkeiten zusehends. So stehen beispielsweise Fragestellungen wie Verfügbarkeit und Modell- ierung von Vertrauen in solchen Umgebungen eher im Mittelpunkt als Verfahren zur Sicherstellung von Vertraulichkeit und Integrität. Vor diesem Hintergrund möchte dieser Workshop den Dialog zwischen Experten aus dem Bereich der Informationssicherheit anregen und vertiefen. Dieser Workshop soll - ergänzend zu etablierten Veranstaltungen dieser Art - aktuelle Erkenntnisse und Ergebnisse von Forschungsarbeiten zu- sammentragen, die Lösungen für die sich aus der verstärkten Vernetzung ergebenden Probleme anbieten. Über die Vorstellung von Forschungser- gebnissen hinaus können Konzepte für zukünftige Arbeiten, praktische Erfahrungen und praxisrelevante Erkenntnisse zum Wert dieser Veranstal- tung beitragen. Hintergrund =========== Der Gedanke der angestrebten komplexen Vernetzung von Systemen (als wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Vision eines Ubiquitous Computing) hält in verschiedenen Bereichen Einzug. Durch die Vernetzung von Computersystemen sind kürzeste Wege zwischen Sensoren und Effektoren sowie dadurch bedingt eine erhebliche Verkürzung von Entscheidungspro- zessen möglich geworden, sodass Informationen schnellstmöglich an allen Orten zur Verfügung stehen, an denen sie gebraucht werden. Damit kann man eine erhebliche Steigerung der Effektivität erzielen. Eine intensive Vernetzung zieht eine Reihe von Implikationen auf Archi- tekturen und Systeme nach sich, denen beim Entwurf und der Entwicklung von Verfahren zur Aufrechterhaltung der Informationssicherheit in ver- stärktem Maße Rechnung zu tragen ist. Hierzu gehören: - Komplexe Verknüpfungen von Sicherheitsdiensten (z. B. Zugriffskontrolle, Vertraulichkeit und Non-Repudiation). - komplexere Modelle für Vertrauen (Trust), - besonders große und heterogene Kommunikationsumgebungen (draht- gebunden vs. drahtlos, stationär vs. mobil), - Verknüpfung unterschiedlicher Sicherheitsdomänen und Netzüber- gänge (z. B. durch Information Flow Control), - Ressourcen-Transparenz (die sich auch Angreifer zunutze machen können). Im Rahmen des Workshops soll sich ein breiteres Verständnis für die zukünftig wichtigen Themengebiete und Methodiken entwickeln. Ebenso soll sich eine Diskussion der Sicherheitsrisiken ergeben, die trotz neuartiger Ansätze entstehen können. Insgesamt können so Bereiche auf- gezeigt werden, denen bislang noch zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wurde, in denen aber noch wesentliche Forschungsarbeiten zu leisten sind. Themenvorschläge ================ Es wird um die Einreichung von Beiträgen aus den folgenden und verwand- ten Gebieten - unter spezieller Berücksichtigung des geschilderten Hintergrundes - gebeten: - Intrusion Detection / Response in integrierten Sicherheits- architekturen (z.B. Software Embedded Sensors), - Kooperierende Sicherheitssysteme für Koalitionsumgebungen, - Intruder Tracing / Forensische Analyse in transparenten dynami- schen Netzen, - Intrusion Detection / Response / Tolerance in mobilen Ad-hoc- Netzen, - Sicherheit in Sensornetzen, - Dynamische Modellierung von Sicherheitsrichtlinien (Policies), - Integration von Honeypots, Honeynets und Honeytokens in beste- hende Sicherheitsysteme. Einreichungen ============= Jeder Beitrag wird von mehreren Gutachtern des Programmkomitees bewer- tet. Angenommene Beiträge werden auf dem Workshop präsentiert und dis- kutiert. Die Beiträge werden im Tagungsband der INFORMATIK 2005 ver- öffentlicht, der in der von der GI herausgegebenen Reihe "Lecture Notes in Informatics LNI" erscheinen wird. Akzeptierte Beiträge sollen bis zu 5 Seiten umfassen. Weitere Infor- mationen zu Einreichungen finden sich unter http://www.gi-fg-sidar.de/skvu2005/ Einreichungen können elektronisch im PDF-Format als E-Mail an die Adresse skvu05/at/fgan.de erfolgen.

In the wireless domain, mobility and ubiquitous access to the Internet is driving the emergence of new value-added applications and exhibiting new user needs. Self-organizing wireless networks such as ad-hoc networks may eventually become the natural way of connecting end-users to the network. In this all-digital, all-connected world, transport protocols have the very difficult task of providing reliable, fair and efficient communications to millions of (groups of) users with very different needs and profiles, across different underlying technologies. High-speed networks, often referred to as long fat networks, raise the problem of fair and efficient congestion control mechanisms. Wireless environments with mobility and ad-hoc features bring new concerns. Fast heterogeneous networks face all these difficulties. This special issue is devoted to these problems. We solicit two categories of contributions: (1) survey papers presenting state-of-the-art studies, and (2) papers presenting an original and unpublished work or experiment on, but not limited to, the following topics: * TCP variants or new transport protocols for high-speed networks * TCP optimisations and tuning methodologies, results from real experiments * New congestion control mechanisms for high-speed networks * Transport protocols for heterogeneous networks * Experiments and prototype implementations and lessons learnt * Multipeer and multicast transport protocols * Transport protocols in wireless/mobile/ad-hoc environments * Transport protocols for (near) real-time traffic * Performance modelling of TCP on high-speed or wireless networks * Fairness issues in new transport protocols * Transport protocols in all-optical networking * Very high-speed transport protocols for computational grids Paper Submission We invite you to submit a paper that should have a length of 25000-35000 characters. The preferred language for the contribution is english. Instructions for formatting your paper according to the journal's rule can be found in english (http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~cpham/ADT-TCP/Editorial_instructions.pdf) or in french (http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~cpham/ADT-TCP/Consignes_projets_articles.pdf). A PDF version of your paper should be submitted electronically to one of the guest editors (see below). Hard copies should be sent only if electronic submission is absolutely not possible. All submitted papers must not have been previously published and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere while they are under consideration. Please include a cover page which lists the following: * name, * affiliation, * address and e-mail address of each author * name of the contact author * a maximum of 5 keywords Important Dates May 1st, 2005: Full paper due July 15th, 2005: Notification of acceptance September 15th, 2005: Final version due Expected date of publication: spring 2006.
