-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for papers: Wireless Mesh Networking (DEADLINE EXTENDED!) Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2005 20:46:22 -0500 (EST) From: Xudong Wang <wxudong(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: SIGMOB(a)ACM.ORG, manet(a)ietf.org [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 EXTENDED to: 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: [Tccc] Call for Paper: JSAC-MRNM Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2005 02:25:13 -0800 (PST) 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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting (EUROSYS 2006 Call for Papers) Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 14:40:15 -0800 From: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> Reply-To: Geoff Voelker <voelker(a)CS.UCSD.EDU> To: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG EUROSYS 2006 Leuven April 18-21, 2006 http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/conference/EuroSys2006/ EuroSys2006 is the first of a series of system conferences located in Europe. It welcomes submissions and attendance from all over the world. It will be held in Leuven, Belgium, April 18-21, 2006. EuroSys aims to bring together researchers from different areas of computer systems, who are otherwise spread over multiple conferences. As a result, we seek papers on all aspects of computer systems. We especially seek papers that cross the divide between areas and address: * All areas of operating systems and distributed systems * Systems aspects of: - Programming language support - Databases - Distributed algorithms - Middleware - Parallel and concurrent computing - Clusters and grids - Mobile and pervasive computing - Embedded computers and tiny devices - Novel user interfaces - Real-time computing - Security - Dependable computing - Novel uses of information technology - Management, measurement and monitoring * Experience with existing systems * Reproduction of previous results * Negative results * Early ideas Papers should report, where possible, on the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of such systems. However, at least one session of the conference will be reserved for "idea" papers. These papers may not be held to the same standards in terms of evaluation as other submissions. Similarly, one session of the conference will be reserved for "experience papers", reflecting on the use or the lack of use of earlier concepts. For such papers, novelty of the concept is less of an issue, but depth of evaluation is of paramount importance. Authors may but need not designate their paper for one of these sessions. To encourage diversity, any single author will be limited to at most two submissions. To avoid conflict of interests, papers authored by program committee members will be held to a significantly higher standard, and their number in the final program will be severely restricted. Reviewing will not be blind. Authors should feel free to include their affiliation in the paper, and include all references in full. Papers will be reviewed by the program committee with the help of outside referees. The primary criterion for acceptance will be the impact of the work on the systems community and the extent to which the papers bridge gaps between different communities. Novelty, clarity of explanation and thorough evaluation will be additional criteria. Papers may be provisionally accepted, subject to further shepherding by a member of the program committee before final acceptance. The conference does not have a predefined format or a target number of accepted papers. Papers will be accepted or rejected based on their merits, and the conference will be organized in a format that accommodates the number of papers that meet that criterion. Papers should not exceed 14 pages double column including figures and tables in standard ACM format. Papers that exceed this length will be rejected without consideration of their merit.

31 Mar '05

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: NEW IEEE ComSoc Symposium seeks papers Datum: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 15:28:10 -0500 Von: CommunicationsSociety(a)comsoc.org Antwort an: <Conferencesx(a)comsoc.org> An: conferencesx(a)comsoc.org <div class="moz-text-flowed" style="font-family: -moz-fixed"> c9d59c.jpg IEEE Communications Society is pleased to announce a new symposium! IEEE Symposium on New Frontiers in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN) will be held 8 - 11 November in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Current radio technology trends promise to enable "Dynamic Spectrum Access" (DSA) networks, using wide-band spectrum sensing, real-time spectrum allocation and acquisition, and infrastructureless mesh networks. Not only do these trends challenge the existing technologies, they challenge the traditional "command and control" methods of allocating and licensing spectrum by government fiat. IEEE DySPAN 2005 will be a new, first-of-its-kind symposium on DSA Networks that brings together the technologists designing and building these new exciting devices with the spectrum policy community that will be charged with re-architecting the legal regime for managing spectrum in the 21st century that must accommodate these new technologies. DySPAN 2005 seeks original, previously unpublished papers with either a Technology focus or a Policy, Law & Economics focus as well as Position Papers which are innovative and forward-looking and offer new insights that show promise of pointing out future research directions. Please visit <http://www.ieee-dyspan.org/>www.ieee-dyspan.org for complete Call for Papers and additional information.

[Fwd: [CfP] Fachgespräch Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CfP] Fachgespräch Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 09:01:55 +0100 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-Nuremberg To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch "Energiebewußte Systeme und Methoden" ============================================================== 1. Juli 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 laufen¬den 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) 2-5 Seiten im Springer LNCS-Format bis zum 1. Juni 2005 eingereicht werden. Es werden Beiträgen in deutscher und englischer Sprache angenommen. Die Einreichung der Beiträge wird im PDF-Format per Email an Dr. Falko Dressler (dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de) erwünscht. Die angenommenen Beiträge werden als technischer Bericht publiziert. Weitere Informationen werden unter http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/fg-energie/ bereitgestellt. Organisation ------------ Dieses Fachgespräch wird von Dr. Falko Dressler organisiert. Die Fachgespräche unterstehen einem Leitungsgremium bestehend aus Dr. Falko Dressler (Universität Erlangen), Dr. Christan Becker (Universität Stuttgart), Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa (Universität Karlsruhe) und Prof. Dr. Dirk Timmermann (Universität Rostock). -- Dr.-Ing.

[Fwd: [Tccc] SIGCOMM workshops: Deadlines approaching]
by Lars Wolf 22 Mar '05

22 Mar '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] SIGCOMM workshops: Deadlines approaching Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 10:49:26 -0500 (EST) From: Saswati Sarkar <swati(a)seas.upenn.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu SIGCOMM Workshops, August 22-26, 2005, Philadelphia, USA This year, SIGCOMM 2005 continues its expanded scope with significant emphasis on workshops. We solicit papers and participation for the following one-day workshops, that will be held in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2005 from August 22 - August 26, 2005 in Philadelphia, PA, US. For a detailed description of the workshops and submission guidelines, visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2005/workshops.html 1. Workshop on mining network data (MineNet-05) Todays IP networks are extensively instrumented for collecting a wealth of information including traffic traces (e.g., packet or flow level traces), control (e.g., router forwarding tables, BGP and OSPF updates), and management (e.g., alarms, SNMP traps) data. The real challenge is to process and analyze this vast amount of primarily unstructured information and extract structures, relationships, and higher level knowledge embedded in it and use it to aid network management and operations. The goal of this one day workshop is to explore new directions in network data collection, storage, and analysis techniques, and their application to network monitoring, management, and remediation. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds, including networking, data mining, machine learning, and statistics, to get together and collaboratively approach this problem from their respective vantage points. Deadline: April 6, 2005 2. Workshop on experimental approaches to wireless network design and analysis (E-WIND-05) Research in wireless networking is rapidly becoming more experimental. Research prototypes are being developed for systems ranging from large-scale sensor networks to high-speed wireless access networks. Moreover experimentation and measurement studies are being performed with off-the-shelf hardware and operational testbeds. The goal of this workshop is to bring together experimentalist researchers from diverse backgrounds including wireless hardware platforms, wireless communications, wireless testbeds, and measurement of deployed wireless systems. The workshop will provide a forum for exchange of ideas, challenges, and work-in-progress discussions between both the wireless and wireline measurement communities. The workshop will leave a large space to discussion and possible coordination. Deadline: April 15, 2005 3. Workshop on delay tolerant networking and related networks (WDTN-05) Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. It has scaled well beyond the original plan of its designers, and the Internet Protocol has been carried on a great number of underlying protocols, including itself. However, the Internet's protocol architecture suffers some problems when implemented on classes of networks for which it was not originally designed. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common, or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop, we wish to explore physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also requested. Deadline: March 30, 2005 4. Workshop on economics of peer-to-peer systems (P2PECON-05) From file-sharing to distributed computation, from application layer overlays to mobile ad hoc networking, the ultimate success of a peer-to-peer system rests on the twin pillars of scalable and robust system design and alignment of economic interests among the participating peers. Following the success of the first two workshops, the Third Workshop on Economics of Peer-to-Peer Systems will again bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the economic characteristics of P2P systems, application of economic theories to P2P system design, and future directions and challenges in this area. Deadline: April 1, 2005 We apologize for multiple copies you may receive. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CfP for DIN 2005: Workshop on Dynamic Interconnection of Networks Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 18:27:15 +0100 From: Prehofer, Christian <prehofer(a)docomolab-euro.com> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Please apologize multiple copies Call for Papers ACM DIN 2005 First International ACM* Workshop on Dynamic Interconnection of Networks _http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/mobicom-2005-din-ws.html_, (In Conjunction with ACM MOBICOM'2005) September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Scope: A salient feature of future mobile networks will be support for flexible, dynamic inter-connection of networks. New kinds of mobile networks, such as Personal Area Networks (PANs), Body Area Networks (BANs), inter-vehicle networks, and sensor networks, arise and have to interconnect among themselves and with existing infrastructure. Such networks will integrate heterogeneous technologies, and their topologies are dynamic. Currently, inter-working in IP networks consists essentially of inter-domain routing. In the future, the control plane interconnection of these networks needs to enable e.g. seamless mobility, routing, QoS, multi-homed networks, charging, and security. For instance, mobility handling is different for a mobile phone, a train network or a BAN. Hence it needs to be negotiated which specific protocols to use and in which way. The owners of future mobile networks often are non-experts and hence auto-configuration is a major issue. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers working on interconnection of mobile networks and related topics to exchange their ideas. Topics of Interest: Original papers are invited in the area of dynamic interconnection of networks. Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include: - Internetworking architectural principles - End-to-end control interconnection regarding e.g. Mobility management, routing, QoS provisioning, security, charging - Naming & addressing for inter-networking - Moving networks, ad-hoc networking and interconnection technology - Autoconfiguring networks - Self-organized internetworking Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: April 30th, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 15th, 2005 Camera-Ready Papers: July 15th, 2005 Workshop Co-Chairs: Christian Prehofer (DoCoMo Euro-Labs) lastname at docomolab-euro.com Cornelia Kappler (Siemens, Germany) firstname.lastname at siemens.com Technical PC Members: Bengt Algren (SICS, Sweden) Jon Crowcroft (Cambridge, UK) A.

[Fwd: SIMA 2005 @ MILCOM: Call for Papers deadline extention!]
by Marc Bechler 18 Mar '05

=== Wer schon immer mal mit Donald Rummsfeld Bekanntschaft machen wollte ;-) === Call for Papers � Extended Deadlines ! ! ! Workshop on Situation Management (SIMA 2005) In conjunction with MILCOM 2005, Atlantic City, October 17, 2005 More information in http://www.milcom.org/2005/call_paper_sima.htm. According to modern US defense doctrine, future wars will be characterized by heightened mobility, increased operational tempo and more complex and dynamic situations. As a result, military commanders will require effective methods of situation monitoring, awareness and control -- operations collectively identifiable as Situation Management. Critical aspects of situation management include managing and controlling sources of information, processing real-time or near real-time streams of events, representing and integrating low-level events and higher-level concepts, multi-source information fusion, information presentation that maximizes human comprehension, reasoning about what is happening and what is important. Furthermore, commanders will require management support systems that include control over their current command options, prediction of probable situation evolutions, and analysis of potential threats and vulnerabilities. Similar situation management tasks exist in several other domains including network management, homeland security, emergency/crisis management and real-time management of situations in financial, medical, and other service-related domains. As a rule, situations often involve a large number of dynamic objects that change states in time and space, and engage each other into fairly complex spatio-temporal relations. From the management viewpoint it is important to understand the situations in which these objects participate, to recognize emerging trends and potential threats, and to undertake required actions. Understanding dynamic requires complex cognitive modeling, the building of ontologies, and continuous collection, filtering, and fusion of sensor, intelligence, database, Internet based and related information sources. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and decision makers from government, industry and academia to present the state of their research, development and systems needs in situation management, to discuss fundamental issues and problems and to identify future R&D directions. This workshop encourages contributions from multiple domains and disciplines. Technical papers are invited on topics describing specific information systems, techniques and algorithms that facilitate the process of situation management, including but not limited to the following topics: Situation Monitoring and Awareness Logical Foundations of Situation Calculus Situation Specification Languages Situations Ontologies and Semantics Reasoning about Situations Learning and Situation Discovery Predictive Situation Models Level 2+ Fusion Systems Threat Identification and Analysis Cognitive Models of Information Fusion Real-Time Event Management Operational Situations Battlespace Management Homeland Security Monitoring & Awareness Emergency Situations & Crisis Management Sensor and Ad Hoc Network Management Papers (max 6 pages) have to be submitted at MILCOM's Web site: http://www.milcom.org/2005/ Papers will be published on CD and appear in IEEE Xplore. Besides authors, workshop participants are encouraged to submit a short position statement expressing their thoughts on situation management. Send notifications on your submissions and inquiries to sima(a)comsoc.org.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Iscc2005] First CfP: TSMC special issue on Collaboration Support Systems Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 12:57:47 +0100 From: Giacomo Cabri <cabri.giacomo(a)unimore.it> To: iscc2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Call for Papers: IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics Part A Special Issue on Collaboration Support Systems Collaboration is a widely applied style to collect a group of people’s intelligence. Collaboration support systems serve as an important memory for the group. Ideally, such a system should evolve to become a knowledge base for the collaborators and for those who will use the results of the collaboration. How does one provide effective software structures and tools that will support a large group of people in their work, i.e., assembling, making use of, extracting and working with extensive collections of ideas and multi-media information? This question is still to be solved. The aim of this special issue is to make the point of the situation and to evaluate the state of the art in the field. Possible submissions should relate to both innovative proposals and global views of well-established systems/approaches not published elsewhere. Papers should present approaches relying on computational or mathematical models, and/or be supported by empirical evaluations. This call for papers will be distributed by means of mailing lists, a web site, flyers at relevant conferences and personal contacts of the guest editors. Each submission will be reviewed by three referees. The referees will be recruited among the constituent IEEE Technical Committee members for Collaborative Intelligent Systems, the program committee members of related conferences, and other experienced colleagues. This special issue solicits, but is not limited to, papers on topics that clearly address collaboration support systems, including: · Human requirements for collaboration on distributed computer systems; · Organizational behaviors on collaboration support systems; · Formal and abstract models for collaboration support systems; · Role and group structures on collaboration support systems; · Objects and agents in collaboration support systems; · Multi-user interface design for collaboration support systems; · Analysis and evaluations of collaboration support systems; · Security and privacy issues in collaboration support systems; · Information sharing in collaboration support systems; · Software engineering for collaboration support systems; and · Industry and enterprise application case study.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for papers: Wireless Mesh Networking Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 15:54:20 -0500 (EST) From: Xudong Wang <wxudong(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [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 ============================================================== 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 1, 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: E-NEXT.members: CFP: JSAC special issue on Sampling the Internet Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 16:54:14 +0100 From: Chadi Barakat <Chadi.Barakat(a)sophia.inria.fr> Organization: INRIA U.R. Sophia Antipolis CC: <members(a)ist-e-next.net> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. All information can be found at http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/sampling_internet.html. Deadline for manuscript submission: OCTOBER 1, 2005. ======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications SAMPLING THE INTERNET: TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS Scope As the Internet continues to grow rapidly in size and complexity, it has become increasingly clear that its evolution is closely tied to a detailed understanding of network traffic. Network traffic measurements are invaluable for a wide range of tasks such as network capacity planning, traffic engineering, fault diagnosis, application and protocol performance profiling, and anomaly detection. This large and diverse set of applications raises the question of how to monitor the Internet in an efficient and scalable way. In the case of active monitoring (where probe packets are sent across the network to infer specific properties) the scalability issue arises from the size of the Internet and the potentially large number of end systems that one needs to instrument, as well as the number of probing experiments that one must conduct. Intuitively, sampling is an essential component of scalable Internet monitoring. Broadly speaking, sampling is the process of making partial observations of a system of interest, and drawing conclusions about the full behaviour of the system from these limited observations. The observation problem is concerned with minimising information loss whilst reducing the volume of collected data. It is this reduction that makes the collection process scalable. The way in which the partial information is transformed into knowledge of the system as a whole is the inversion problem. The inversion is in general imperfect and error-prone. The aim of this issue is to bring together work from researchers and practitioners devoted to the understanding of the practical and theoretical issues related to all aspects of sampling the Internet. In this context, sampling may take various forms. A classic example is to observe only a subset of the packets carried over a link, and then estimate traffic parameters which apply to all packets. Alternatively, one could target a subset of routers with packet probes in order to infer network characteristics such as the topology or routing matrix. Examples abound from a wide variety of application areas within Internet measurement, management, and analysis. Independent of subject area, papers will be in scope if they focus substantially on the sampling aspects of the problem under study, for example by exploring the tradeoff between observation and inversion processes, revealing the limitations of inversion techniques, analysing their properties, or proposing new ones, or by providing new insights by explicitly recognizing the impact of implicit sampling in many measurement studies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sampling and inverting traffic metrics with passive or active systems. - Internet end-to-end measurements seen from a sampling standpoint. - Sampling aspects of network topology inference. - Impact of sampling on anomaly detection. - Mechanisms for sampling live Internet traffic or collected traces. - Theoretical studies of the sampling/inversion problem (e.g., accuracy, complexity). - Distributed and adaptive sampling techniques. - New sampling methods. Submission guidelines Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions.

Draft manuscripts are due Mar 30, 2005 with Notification of Acceptance by May 31, 2005. Stephen F. Bush and Shivkumar Kalyanaraman, co-editors ------------------------------------------------------------ ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT Special Issue on Management of Active and Programmable Networks Manuscript due March 30, 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------ Active networks provide a framework enabling code and data to reside within network packets such that injected code can modify behavior of low-level network layers. Programmable networks allow customization o data-plane and control-plane services (e.g.: using network processor methods in high- speed routers or software radio methods in wireless networks). This raises fundamental management issues regarding the relation and tradeoffs among communication and computation, configuration, fault, security, performance, and accounting management. AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS and SOFTWARE RADIOS are being facilitated by the advancement of active networks; however, they add another level of complexity to active and programmable network management. The relationship between computation and communication can be addressed by concepts from algorithmic information theory (e.g.: Kolmogorov- Chaitin Complexity). Active and programmable networks form an ideal environment in which to study the effects of tradeoffs in algorithmic and static information representation. Active code can contain either the protocol or a compressed form of the data to be transported. Other divisions of code and state are possible between packets (e.g.: routers with dynamic packet state and customizable data-plane code). ------------------------------------------------------------ This special issue of the Journal of Network and Systems Management will consider topics associated with the management of active and programmable networks. Submissions will span a broad range of topics, e.g.: * Bridging the gap among the large and growing body of work in algorithmic information theory and applications to the health, management, and security of an active or programmable network * Fundamental relationships between computation and communication applied to active or programmable networks; relationship of code vs. data tradeoffs utilized to control access of information, system vulnerability detection, policy enforcement, etc. within an active or programmable network * Self-organization and composition of active network services; self-configuration of active or programmable networks * Case studies involving the management of dynamic adaptation and performance enabled by active networks * Active or programmable networks used to manage and control mobile ad hoc network operation and legacy networks * Active or programmable network management of QoS: controlled amounts of code vs. data that adapt to link quality * Management of active packets in constrained devices such as sensors * Active and programmable network management techniques applied to link and physical layer network components e.g. software radio waveforms * Improvement or replacement of defacto management standard access and control such as SNMP with active or programmable mechanisms ------------------------------------------------------------ Instructions to Contributors: Authors are invited to submit papers for peer-review to the guest editors. Only electronic submissions will be accepted.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: 2nd ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET'05) Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 15:48:41 -0800 From: Chen-Nee Chuah <chuah(a)ece.ucdavis.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> ANNOUNCEMENT and 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 .

There is a need for more realistic models of traffic, mobility, and association patterns. This can be beneficial in capacity planning, administration, and deployment of wireless infrastructures, protocol design for wireless applications and services, and their performance analysis. The Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling Workshop is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences and research results about all aspects of measurements and modeling of applications, usage, access, load, and mobility in wireless networks. It will also initiate discussions on how to use these models to improve the performance of wireless networks. Furthermore, it aims in enhancing and accelerating the process of sharing traces, implementations, and test suites. In this workshop, we would like to solicit short papers (6 pages) that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. We will use the EDAS system for the paper submission. We plan to get industrial sponsorship to support a best paper and presentation award and a keynote speaker. Along with regular presentations we plan to have speakers and/or panel discussions that encourage more active participation of the attendees. TOPICS Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: - Methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in different wireless environments (infrastructures, sensor networks) - Workload characterization and traffic analysis - User mobility modeling - Software tools in support of measurements - Measurement-based inference of network properties (for normal or abnormal behavior, network topology, hot spots) - Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, and anomaly detection - Temporal and spatial evolution of wireless networks - Evaluation of forecasting algorithms for wireless traffic load - Comparative analysis on different wireless networks - Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests ORGANIZERS General Chair: Kang G.

Obaidat <obaidat(a)monmouth.edu> My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Computers and Electrical Engineering Journal http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/367/descriptio… Special Issue on "Advances and Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks and Systems" Guest Editors: Prof. Mohammad S. Obaidat, Dept. of Computer Science, Monmouth University Prof. Mario Marchese, Dept. of Communication, Computer and System Science (DIST), University of Genoa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wireless and satellite technology offers many advantages with respect to cable networks both concerning scalability, overcoming geographical obstacles, covering isolated areas, application in hazardous environments. 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 Computer 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.

They are deeply embedded into physical surroundings and gather and process environmental data like temperature, humidity, light conditions, seismic activities, or images of the environment. This data can be used to detect events and to trigger activity. Some applications are habitat monitoring (observing live animals), precision agriculture, structural health monitoring (detecting damage in buildings, bridges, aircrafts), emergency and rescue operations, supply chain management, or perimeter and building security. Building on the success of the first Workshop on Sensor Networks at Informatik 2004, this workshop aims at bringing together researchers from different backgrounds to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Hardware for WSNs and its impact on communication protocols - Operating systems and middleware for WSNs - Communication protocols for WSNs, e.g. MAC and routing, addressing schemes - Distributed classification and data fusion - Distributed data storage and processing - Self-organization in sensor networks - Quality of Service in WSNs - Energy/efficiency tradeoffs in all protocol layers - Security requirements and security primitives for WSNs - Access control and trust management - Privacy impacts of WSNs - Inter-connection between WSN and the Internet - Testbeds, use cases PARTICIPANTS ------------ The intended audience are researchers from academia and industry, especially working in the areas of sensor networks, embedded systems, communication middleware, and databases as well as resource-constrained communication networks as such.
