-------- Original Message -------- Subject: IEEE WMAN 2005: Submission deadline extended to Nov 24 Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 00:37:13 +0200 (EET) From: Ioannis Chatzigiannakis <ichatz(a)cti.gr> To: ichatz(a)cti.gr [Apologies for multiple postings] Last Call for Papers 5th IEEE International Workshop on Algorithms for Wireless, Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (IEEE WMAN 05) April 4-8, 2005, Denver, Colorado, USA (Omni Interlocken Resort) To be held in conjunction with IPDPS 2005 Supported by the IEEE Computer Society http://ru1.cti.gr/wman05/ SCOPE: The field of wireless and mobile computing is an important research challenging area, that emerges from the integration among personal computing distributed computing, cellular technology and the Web. This is possible due to the continuously increasing interaction between communication and computing, which is changing the information access from the current reactive ``anytime anywhere'' into the incoming proactive ``all the time everywhere'' approach. Nowadays, there is a large variety of networks spanning from the well-known cellular networks to non-infrastructured wireless networks such as mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. This scenario raises a number of interesting, and difficult, algorithmic issues in diverse areas such as location management, resource allocation, ubiquitous information, network connectivity, reliability and security, and energy consumption. This workshop is intended to cover contributions in both the design and analysis of discrete algorithms and the system modelling in the context of mobile, wireless, ad-hoc, and sensor networks. In particular, it aims at bringing together the practitioners and theoreticians of the field. We are seeking for papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review. The objective of this workshop is to bring together leading technologists and researchers in these ``critical areas'' of research in order to have a forum for discussing fundamental challenges, identifying future perspectives, and exchanging ideas about ongoing research. Authors are solicited to submit original unpublished manuscripts for this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings (by IEEE CS Press) of the IPDPS workshops. TOPICS: The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited, to: * frequency and channel assignment algorithms * cryptography and security * distributed algorithms * pricing modeling and solutions * algorithms for satellite communications * mechanisms design and cooperation enforcement * algorithms and modeling on satellite and radio networks * algorithms for resource management in mobile, wireless and ad-hoc networks * data management on mobile and wireless computing * algorithms for single-hop and multiple-hop packet radio networks * routing, and communication primitives in ad hoc and sensor networks * synchronization and scheduling issues in mobile and ad hoc networks * energy saving protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks * complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments * caching and prefetching for information access in wireless networks * algorithms and modeling for tracking and locating mobile users IMPORTANT DATES: Extended submission deadline: ** November 24, 2004, 5pm EST ** Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: January 6th, 2005 Camera-Ready Paper Due: January 25, 2005 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND PUBLICATION: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the WMAN workshop. The length of the papers should be a maximum of 10 double-column single-spaced pages including figures and references on 8.5 by 11 inch paper using at least 10 point font (based upon IEEE Proceedings Style). Please remember that the final versions will be restricted to 8 pages. Authors must submit their papers electronically via EDAS (http://edas.info/) Note that once the paper gets accepted, it is MANDATORY that at least one author should attend the workshop and present the paper. The accepted papers will be published in the same printed abstract volume and CD-ROM proceedings as other workshops of the IPDPS 2005 conference by the IEEE Computer Society Press and IEEE online library.

Best Regards Alex _____ CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Context Aware Networks Technologies and Applications (CANET'05) Held in conjunction with the 5th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context; July 5, 2005 - Paris, France (http://context-05.org) DEADLINES Submissions due: 25th March 2005 Acceptance notification: 15th April 2005 Camera-ready papers received: 30th April 2005 Program on line: 5th May 2005 Workshop: 5th July 2005 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 12 single-spaced pages including figures, tables, references and annexes * Position / work in progress papers of up to 6 pages Evaluation Process and Proceedings Publication All papers are going to be reviewed by the scientific committee. The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes on Computer Science series. Submissions should follow the LNCS style (www.springeronline.com). The document must be in PostScript, Acrobat PDF or MS-Word format. All correspondence will take place electronically.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP WWAN 2005, Columbus, Ohio, USA, 6-9 June, 2005 Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 19:21:46 +0100 From: David Simplot-Ryl <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> To: <arp(a)cines.fr>, <alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr>, <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ====================================================================== LAST CALL FOR PAPERS WWAN 2005 2nd International Workshop on Wireless Ad Hoc Networking http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2005 to be held in conjunction with The 25th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS-2005) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6-9, 2005 http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/icdcs05 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Purpose Wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks (network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure), such as cellular or satellite systems. Wireless ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless ad-hoc networks are formed by a set of hosts that communicate with each other over a wireless channel. Each node has the ability to communicate directly with another node in its physical neighborhood. They operate in a self-organized and decentralized manner and message communication takes place via multi-hop spreading. A packet is sent to its target node through a set of intermediate nodes that act as routers. Particular ad hoc network systems include packet radio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftop networks, and wireless local area networks. This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical issues up to applications aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. The first edition of WWAN held last year during ICDCS-2004 (Tokyo, Japan) was organized by David Simplot-Ryl and Ivan Stojmenovic. In response to the Call for Papers, 42 papers from 20 different countries had been submitted. Based on three review reports per paper, they was classified as accept, reject or discuss. For those papers in the discuss list, additional opinions were sought. As a result, a total of 21 papers were selected for presentation at WWAN 2004 and were organized in 7 sessions. Website of this prior workshop: http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2004 Topics of Interest We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Applications and history of ad hoc networks, - Physical layer of ad hoc networks, - Pervasive and wearable computing, - IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth based medium access control, - Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation, - Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks, - Hybrid networks and wireless internet, - Security in ad hoc networks, - Data management issues, query processing, data delivery, - Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks, - Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks, - Quality of service in medium access control and routing, - Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP-Special Section of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R)]
by Lars Wolf 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP-Special Section of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 17:58:59 +0200 From: Polychronis Koutsakis <polk(a)telecom.tuc.gr> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************* Call for Papers Special Section on “Medium Access and Call Admission Control Algorithms for Next Generation Wireless Networks” ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Theme With the pervasive presence of mobile personal wireless computing devices, wireless communication technologies are rapidly evolving and influencing our daily way of life. The new wireless data and multimedia services that are added and supported on wireless networks alongside the traditional voice services pose formidable challenges to these networks in their effort to satisfy strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. These challenges are further exasperated by the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links (fading, noise) and user mobility. To cope with the challenges related to supporting both the existing and the ever increasing new services, next generation wireless technologies will need to fine tune and/or incorporate new sets of traffic control procedures. This special section will be focusing on two such control procedures related to wireless medium sharing and network overload. A well designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol reduces system costs by maximizing system capacity while successfully integrating different classes of traffic (e.g., voice, data, multimedia) and optimally allocating the limited radio channel bandwidth among them. Congestion control poses yet additional set of challenges to wireless network providers. Network congestion is difficult to resolve when real-time traffic, sensitive to both latency and packet loss, is present, without jeopardizing the QoS expected by the users of that traffic. Call Admission Control (CAC) is a strategy used to limit the number of call connections into the network in order to reduce network congestion, therefore enabling the system to provide the desired QoS to newly incoming as well as existing calls. The mobility of users adds challenging requirements to the Call Admission Control Mechanism. When mobile users change their point of attachment, the end-to-end path may be changed while they still expect to receive the same QoS. This implies that the new end-to-end path should also support the existing QoS (i.e., a reservation on the new path may be required). Topics of interest This highly selective special section of the ACM MC2R aims at providing a state-of-the-art reference of the current research in the fields of Medium Access Control Protocols and Call Admission Control Algorithms for next generation wireless networks. Previously unpublished, original papers of very high quality that are not currently under review by another conference or journal are solicited focusing on representative topics related to this special section, such as: > Medium Access Control Protocols and Transmission Scheduling Mechanisms. > Call Admission Control and Traffic Policing Mechanisms for wireless networks. > Channel Allocation. > CDMA/TDMA wireless systems. > QoS issues for multimedia traffic over wireless networks. > Performance evaluation of wireless networks. > Mobile service and QoS management. > Wireless multimedia services. > Handoff algorithms for mobility support. > Protocols and algorithms coping with limited bandwidth and intermittent connectivity of wireless networks. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2005. Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2005. Submission of final version: July 15, 2005. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should submit their paper electronically to the email address of one of the three guest editors. All material submitted must be in PostScript or PDF format. If using PostScript, only version 2 or later should be used, and reference only Computer Modern or standard Adobe fonts (Courier, Times Roman, or Helvetica); other PostScript type 1 and type 2 fonts may be used but must be included in the PostScript file. Type 3 fonts should not be used as they reproduce poorly in the digital library and on many printers. Paper length should be the equivalent of no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Programming Models for Multimedia Cluster and Grid Computing (Special Session IPDPS-PDIVM 2005) Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2004 14:52:51 +0100 From: Elena Zudilova <elenaz(a)science.uva.nl> Organization: OptimaNumerics To: computational.science(a)optimanumerics.com [We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.] *********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** Special Session on "PROGRAMMING MODELS FOR MULTIMEDIA CLUSTER AND GRID COMPUTING" (http://www.science.uva.nl/~fjseins/pdivm_special.html) held as part of the 6th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Image Processing, Video Processing, and Multimedia (PDIVM'2005) (http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~uhl/pdivm.html) in conjunction with the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium IPDPS Denver, Colorado, USA, April 8th, 2005 The special session constitutes one of the sessions of the PDIVM 2005 workshop, organized as part of the 2005 IPDPS Conference. There will be no separate registration for the special session or the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS Press (a CD-ROM with a printed abstracts book). ************** TOPICS ************** Even though many multimedia applications are ideally suited for parallel execution, most researchers in multimedia do not benefit from the many commodity clusters and wide-area Grid systems available around the world today. Primarily, this problem is due to the lack of user-friendly tools that can effectively help non-expert parallel programmers in creating high performance multimedia applications. Clearly, the key to effective application development by non-experts in parallel computing lies in the availability of high-level programming models for multimedia processing. This special session brings together researchers and developers working on all aspects of the design of user-friendly programming models, tools, and frameworks for multimedia computing. Issues of interest include, but are not limited to: *) domain-specific programming models *) languages for multimedia computing (object-oriented, functional, ...) *) multimedia server-based approaches *) domain-specific compiler directives *) automatic parallelization *) automatic performance optimization *) performance modeling *) skeletons and algorithmic patterns *) evaluation of user-friendly tools and frameworks *) applications in user-friendly multimedia computing ************** SUBMISSION ************** Submissions for the special session should be about 4 pages long (i.e. extended abstracts) using the IEEE Proceedings style (available from: http://www.science.uva.nl/~fjseins/IEEEStyle.txt). Final versions will be restricted to 8 pages. Please submit your extended abstract in postscript or pdf format to fjseins(a)science.uva.nl using the subject "PDIVM special session paper". ************** SCHEDULE ************** Papers due: November 15th, 2004 Author notification: December 20th, 2004 Camera-ready final papers due: January 21st, 2005 Workshop (and IPDPS): (April 4th -) April 8th, 2005 ************** COMMITTEES ************** Special Session Organizer: Frank J.

FYI Xiaoyuan -----Original Message----- From: info(a)patternrecognition.org.uk [mailto:info@patternrecognition.org.uk] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 11:02 PM To: xiaogu(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Subject: Invitation 3rd International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition ---------------------------------------------------------------- The third international conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition will showcase the latest research in the area of pattern recognition and machine learning. The focus will be on new and emerging techniques in pattern recognition and machine learning. The conference has three specific goals: (a) The description and discussion of new techniques that will make a step change in the area; (b) The use of unconventional and often off-the-mainstream techniques to solve complex tasks; and (c) A theoretical understanding of how the nature of data impacts upon known techniques, their limitations, and comparison to each other. The conference will focus on both applied work as well as theoretical advances. It is however theoretical contribution that will underpin research and will be emphasised in the review process. The conference will be organised in Bath which is the best-preserved Georgian city in Britain, a showpiece of Georgian architecture with picturesque streets and stone-fronted houses. The Romans were captivated by the area of Bath over 2,000 years ago, when Bath was a vast green valley with a miraculous stream of endless hot water. The Roman bath and temple complex are still a world-class attraction. Beautiful and elegant, Bath enjoys many thousands of tourists from all over the world. The conference will be organized at the University of Bath. The ICAPR conference will be co-located with the International Postgraduate Conference on Pattern Analysis for Applications in Physical and Life Sciences (http://www.ipc2005.org.uk), which will be organised on the same dates at the same location. The demonstrations of any software will take place jointly. We invite you to attend and publish at ICAPR 2005. http://www.icapr2005.org.uk/

[Fwd: [Tccc] Reminder-- Special Journal Issue on Towards UbiquitousWirelessCommunication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks]

19 Oct '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Reminder-- Special Journal Issue on Towards UbiquitousWirelessCommunication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2004 23:03:57 -0400 From: Nidal Nasser <nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: hossam(a)innovate.cs.queensu.ca - Reminder - Just four days left for paper submission deadline (Oct. 20)! ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing (IJWMC) https://www.inderscience.com Special Issue on Towards Ubiquitous Wireless Communication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Guest Editors Nidal Nasser and Hossam Hassanein Telecommunications Research Laboratory School of Computing, Queen’s University Kingston, ON, Canada K7L 3N6 nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:Nasser@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~nasser/ hossam(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:hossam@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~hossam/ ================================================================================ Theme: Future wireless networks will generally be characterized by heterogeneity in architecture, protocols and air interfaces. The wireless networking scene is dominated by two distinct networking platforms: (a) cellular networks, which passed through multiple generations -1G, 2G and 3G, and (b) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) championed by the IEEE 802.11 networks. Recent trends indicate that 3G networks and WLANs will co-exist to offer public wireless broadband services to end users. The two platforms offer characteristics that complement each other perfectly. The 3G cellular systems such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Code Division Multiple Access (cdma2000) will support real-time and non-real-time multimedia services with data rates from 144 kb/s to 2 Mb/s with wide coverage and nearly universal roaming. However, the costs of acquiring the necessary radio spectrum and the required network equipment upgrades are very high. This is in contrast to WLAN systems such as IEEE 802.11 a/b/g, which provide affordable services and bit rates surpassing those of 3G systems, up to 11 Mb/s with 802.11b and 54 Mb/s with 802.11a/g. However, the coverage offered by WLANs is quit limited and lacks roaming support. The complementary characteristics of 3G cellular systems (slow, wide coverage) and WLAN (fast, limited coverage) make it attractive to integrate these two technologies to provide ubiquitous wireless access. The purpose of integrating 3G systems and WLANs is to make it possible to use the best parts of both systems. High bandwidth WLANs are used for data transfer where available and 3G systems can be used where WLAN coverage is lacking. Development and standardization efforts are currently underway for defining suitable architectures for 3G/WLAN integration. However, designing a network architecture that efficiently integrates 3G systems and WLAN is a challenge task that needs a lot of research efforts. In this special issue, we intend to publish a collection of high quality papers by world leading researchers that present state-of-the-art research in the area of 3G/WLAN integration. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Mobility management 2. Seamless vertical handoff techniques between 3G and WLAN 3. Location management techniques 4. Architecture design scenarios for integrating 3G and WLAN systems 5. Network selection criteria 6. Bandwidth adaptation 7. Consistent quality of service across 3G and WLAN 8. Adaptive quality of service provisioning 9. Performance evaluation studies 10. Pricing and Billing Issues 11. Standardization activities Paper Submission: Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed 25 double spaced pages with reasonable margins and a font size of no less than 11pt, including figures and references, and should include an abstract, not to exceed 250 words. Papers should be submitted in PDF or Microsoft Word format by e-mail to 3GWLAN(a)cs.queensu.ca. Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. All papers will be peer reviewed. Schedule: Submission deadline: *October 20, 2004* Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2005 Submission of final revised manuscript: February 28, 2005 Expected date for publication: Third quarter of 2005 ============================================================== For further details information please refer to the CFP at: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~trl/ijwmc ============================================================== _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: MSAN 2005 - First International Conference on Multimedia Services Access Networks Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 17:32:35 -0400 From: Wenjing Lou <wjlou(a)WPI.EDU> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Please accept our apologies for multiple copies +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ CALL FOR PAPERS - MSAN 2005 First International Conference on Multimedia Services Access Networks Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society June 13-15, 2005, Orlando, Florida, USA http://msan.org ** SCOPE ** Access networks (the ‘last-’ or ‘first-’ mile according to provider’s or customer’s perspective) represent one of the most important parts in telecommunication systems, being responsible for the high-quality, reliable and secure delivery of services to end users. They also encompass some of the most demanding networking problems, such as the coexistence of a large variety of technologies based on both wired and wireless solutions, the need of optimal integration with the core network in terms of bandwidth and availability mismatch, the provision of an acceptable quality of service in very different application scenarios and traffic conditions. Perhaps, the most important challenge is that the design of access networks – from the analysis of requirements to the implementation and operation of the system – can only be successful if it is based on an integrated approach, taking into account the needs of different user groups, the technical constraints posed by different application technologies, as well as the related business and societal aspects. Within this framework, MSAN’05 is intended to provide a unique international forum to explore the new research frontiers in the field of current and next generation multimedia service access networks. Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient access technologies and the relevant provision of advanced multimedia applications. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST ** Topics of interest are organized in three tracks addressing respectively: access network technologies (with particular emphasis on network design methodologies, protocols, analysis of performance and quality of service); multimedia service delivery (mainly focusing on the integration/adaptation between multimedia data processing and transmission techniques and access networks characteristics); implementation, operation and performance (providing an opportunity to present innovative applications and testbeds for the above technologies, as well as new approaches to testing and performance evaluation). Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Track 1: Access technologies and networks in MSANs (technologies and protocols) - Wire-based access (PON, FTTx, xDSL) - Wireless fixed access solutions (802.11x and 802.16 networks) - Mobile and nomadic access (3G and beyond, WiFi, etc.) - Other emerging technologies (power lines, CATV, DOCSIS, FSO) - Integration/migration among different technologies (heterogeneous nets, seamless handover) - Integration with core network - Handling bandwidth and availability mismatch between optical and wireless Track 2: Delivery of multimedia services - Technologies for multimedia-multimodal services - Streaming over IP (VoIP, packet video, rate control, error control) - Scheduling and allocation of network resources (bandwidth allocation, power management, etc.) - Quality of service (at network and application level) - Terminals and devices - Security issues Track 3: MSAN implementation, operation and performance - Testbeds and laboratory experiments - Performance evaluation and measurements - Interoperability of last mile solutions - Case studies of novel networking solutions and services implemented - Application techniques, tools and experiences (e.g., health, tourism, e-government, entertainment) - Specific operation and management issues - Planning and design methodology and tools ** CHAIRS ** General Co-Chairs: Aggelos K.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Kuvs] CfP LoCA 2005 Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 16:16:50 +0200 From: Claudia Linnhoff-Popien <linnhoff(a)ifi.lmu.de> Reply-To: linnhoff(a)ifi.lmu.de, thomas.strang(a)dlr.de To: kuvs(a)tm.uka.de ** Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement ** ** Please forward to anyone who might be interested ** CfP for the International Workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness (LoCA 2005) in cooperation with Pervasive 2005 May 12-13, 2005 Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Germany http://loca2005.context-aware.org Submission Deadline: December 17th, 2004 LoCA 2005 - Call for Papers --- The goal of this workshop is to address and discuss the technical challenges, ideas, views, and research results in sensing, fusing and distributing location information as well as providing location- and context-awareness to applications and services such as navigation in pervasive systems. The workshop is a platform to propose new positioning algorithms and location sensing techniques, including new techniques and studies into the properties of existing technologies. This includes enhancements of singular systems (e.g. positioning in cellular telephone networks such as GSM; positioning in WLAN environments; etc.) as well as hybrid systems (e.g. integration of Global Navigation Satellite Systems with Inertial Positioning Systems). Improvements in sensor technology, integration and sensor fusion may be addressed either on a theoretical or on an implementation level. The genesis of nearly all kinds of dynamic location information is mobility. Mobility - in all its facets (user mobility, device mobility, session mobility etc.) - requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, as well as discovery and execution frameworks for location-aware services. Thus we invite you to submit proposals and/or experience papers in the area of mobility and its mentioned adjacencies. Context-awareness, a generalization of location-awareness, is another driver of the pervasive computing paradigm. Well designed context modeling and context retrieval approaches are key accessors to the context in any context-aware system. Thus we emphatically invite submissions dealing with issues of modeling and retrieval of context. This may also include integration aspects into service platforms and frameworks to provide location- and context-awareness to services. Personal and confidential data such as the location of the user stored on mobile devices and the location of the mobile device itself have profound implications for personal information privacy. Thus the area of protecting privacy, privacy-oriented location-aware systems, and how privacy affects the feasibility and usefulness of systems may be addressed. Example topics include privacy enablers in pervasive surveillance and sensing environments or location anonymity techniques. Scenarios and applications for location-aware computing may be surveyed and evaluated, including existing applications and aiming forwards future applications, to facilitate the deployment and everyday use of location-aware computing systems in workplaces, homes and public spaces. The workshop particularly values practical experience with design, deployment and use of location- and context-aware systems and applications, and investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and technologies. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Single Sensor Enhancements - Hybrid Sensor Systems and Sensor Fusion - Positioning and Navigation Algorithms - Mobility - Wireless Network Enhancements - Context Modelling and Retrieval - Context Provisioning Frameworks - Location and Context Information Distribution - Mobile Devices - Security and Privacy of Location and Context - Cognitive Environments - Discovery and Execution Frameworks - Scenarios and Applications This workshop is co-located with Pervasive 2005 concerning time and place, see http://www.pervasive2005.org for details. Paper Submission --- Authors are requested to submit full papers in Adobe PDF format to the EDAS system: http://edas.info/home.cgi?c=4356 All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the international program committee and additional expert reviewers from relevant research communities.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: WSNIA 2005 - CFP Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 13:32:40 -0400 From: Safwat, A. M. <safwat(a)cs.queensu.ca> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org CC: <Gracanin(a)vt.edu>, <younis(a)umbc.edu>, <toweissy(a)vt.edu> First IEEE Workshop on Information Assurance in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNIA 2005) http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~younis/WSNIA2005.htm In conjunction with 24th IEEE International Performance Computing and Communications Conference (IPCCC 2005) http://ipccc.org/ April 7-9, 2005, Phoenix, Arizona Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in applications such as smart environments, disaster management, combat field reconnaissance, and security surveillance. While the initial view of the community was that WSNs will play a complementary role that enhances the quality of these applications, recent research results have encouraged practitioners to envision an increased reliance on WSNs in such critical and sensitive applications. Therefore, to realize their potential, necessary information assurance (IA) measures have to be incorporated in the design and during the operation of WSNs. IA is usually specified using attributes like integrity, authenticity, confidentiality, availability, and survivability. A defense-in-depth approach to IA involves the activities of attack and failure prevention, detection and response, as well as the refinement of these activities. The scope of defense-in-depth may start with a diameter that spans the deployed sensors to a diameter that includes the command nodes and likely beyond. It also involves assurance at, and cross-cutting, the protocol stack layers, from physical to application. Achieving information assurance in WSNs will require non-conventional mechanisms due to many factors including: (1) sensors are significantly constrained in the amount of available resources such as energy, storage and computation; (2) sensors are expected to be deployed in very large numbers in normal as well as forbidding environments; (3) WSNs suffer from structural weakness and limited physical protection, and (4) localization of impact is complicated due to the un-tethered nature of the WSN and of the potential attackers. In addition, IA requirements may vary according to a WSN's mission defined over a multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, data collection), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event recovery), and time. This workshop will foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results on IA in WSNs. Best papers will be invited to a Special Issue of the Journal of Computer Security (http://www.csl.sri.com/programs/security/jcs/). Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following: * Fault & intrusion-tolerant architectural & operational models * Robust routing, storage, and processing of sensed data * Predictable MAC medium access arbitration * IA architectures and protocols * Vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures * Monitoring and evaluation techniques * Scalability and robust clustering techniques * Resilient virtual infrastructures * Autonomic IA in WSNs * Formal representation & verification of assurance properties * Adaptive security and assurance techniques * Quality of service provisioning * Metrics for measuring security, assurance and dependability * Privacy-aware dependable operation * Simulation and visualization environments * Agent-based management for multi-tier WSNs * WSNs as components of larger information grids Prospective authors should submit their paper electronically to toweissy(a)vt.edu <mailto:toweissy@vt.edu> or younis(a)csee.umbc.edu <mailto:younis@csee.umbc.edu>. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. The manuscript should not exceed 20 single-column double-space pages in MS-Word, PS or PDF font size 11 or larger. The first page should include the title, authors' contact information, an abstract and five keywords. Authors should attach the abstract to their message. Submission deadline: November 20, 2004 Decision notification: December 20, 2004 Final manuscript due: January 15, 2005 Workshop Co-Chairs Mohamed Eltoweissy Virginia Tech, USA Mohamed Younis University of Maryland, USA

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] 2nd CFP WWAN 2005, Columbus, Ohio, USA, 6-9 June, 2005 Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2004 09:00:30 +0200 From: David Simplot-Ryl <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> To: <arp(a)cines.fr>, <alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr>, <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ====================================================================== 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS WWAN 2005 2nd International Workshop on Wireless Ad Hoc Networking http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2005 to be held in conjunction with The 25th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS-2005) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6-9, 2005 http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/icdcs05 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Purpose Wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks (network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure), such as cellular or satellite systems. Wireless ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless ad-hoc networks are formed by a set of hosts that communicate with each other over a wireless channel. Each node has the ability to communicate directly with another node in its physical neighborhood. They operate in a self-organized and decentralized manner and message communication takes place via multi-hop spreading. A packet is sent to its target node through a set of intermediate nodes that act as routers. Particular ad hoc network systems include packet radio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftop networks, and wireless local area networks. This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical issues up to applications aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. The first edition of WWAN held last year during ICDCS-2004 (Tokyo, Japan) was organized by David Simplot-Ryl and Ivan Stojmenovic. In response to the Call for Papers, 42 papers from 20 different countries had been submitted. Based on three review reports per paper, they was classified as accept, reject or discuss. For those papers in the discuss list, additional opinions were sought. As a result, a total of 21 papers were selected for presentation at WWAN 2004 and were organized in 7 sessions. Website of this prior workshop: http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/WWAN2004 Topics of Interest We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Applications and history of ad hoc networks, - Physical layer of ad hoc networks, - Pervasive and wearable computing, - IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth based medium access control, - Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation, - Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks, - Hybrid networks and wireless internet, - Security in ad hoc networks, - Data management issues, query processing, data delivery, - Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks, - Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks, - Quality of service in medium access control and routing, - Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks. Paper Submission Submit a full paper of about 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society proceedings Manuscripts: two column, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the ICDCS'2005 workshops.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Reminder-- Special Journal Issue on Towards Ubiquitous WirelessCommunication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 13:57:25 -0400 From: Nidal Nasser <nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> - Reminder - Deadline in two weeks - ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing (IJWMC) https://www.inderscience.com Special Issue on Towards Ubiquitous Wireless Communication: The Integration of 3G/WLAN Networks Guest Editors Nidal Nasser and Hossam Hassanein Telecommunications Research Laboratory School of Computing, Queen’s University Kingston, ON, Canada K7L 3N6 nasser(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:Nasser@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~nasser/ hossam(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:hossam@cs.queensu.ca>, http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~hossam/ ================================================================================ Theme: Future wireless networks will generally be characterized by heterogeneity in architecture, protocols and air interfaces. The wireless networking scene is dominated by two distinct networking platforms: (a) cellular networks, which passed through multiple generations -1G, 2G and 3G, and (b) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) championed by the IEEE 802.11 networks. Recent trends indicate that 3G networks and WLANs will co-exist to offer public wireless broadband services to end users. The two platforms offer characteristics that complement each other perfectly. The 3G cellular systems such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Code Division Multiple Access (cdma2000) will support real-time and non-real-time multimedia services with data rates from 144 kb/s to 2 Mb/s with wide coverage and nearly universal roaming. However, the costs of acquiring the necessary radio spectrum and the required network equipment upgrades are very high. This is in contrast to WLAN systems such as IEEE 802.11 a/b/g, which provide affordable services and bit rates surpassing those of 3G systems, up to 11 Mb/s with 802.11b and 54 Mb/s with 802.11a/g. However, the coverage offered by WLANs is quit limited and lacks roaming support. The complementary characteristics of 3G cellular systems (slow, wide coverage) and WLAN (fast, limited coverage) make it attractive to integrate these two technologies to provide ubiquitous wireless access. The purpose of integrating 3G systems and WLANs is to make it possible to use the best parts of both systems. High bandwidth WLANs are used for data transfer where available and 3G systems can be used where WLAN coverage is lacking. Development and standardization efforts are currently underway for defining suitable architectures for 3G/WLAN integration. However, designing a network architecture that efficiently integrates 3G systems and WLAN is a challenge task that needs a lot of research efforts. In this special issue, we intend to publish a collection of high quality papers by world leading researchers that present state-of-the-art research in the area of 3G/WLAN integration. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Mobility management 2. Seamless vertical handoff techniques between 3G and WLAN 3. Location management techniques 4. Architecture design scenarios for integrating 3G and WLAN systems 5. Network selection criteria 6. Bandwidth adaptation 7. Consistent quality of service across 3G and WLAN 8. Adaptive quality of service provisioning 9. Performance evaluation studies 10. Pricing and Billing Issues 11. Standardization activities Paper Submission: Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed 25 double spaced pages with reasonable margins and a font size of no less than 11pt, including figures and references, and should include an abstract, not to exceed 250 words. Papers should be submitted in PDF or Microsoft Word format by e-mail to 3GWLAN(a)cs.queensu.ca. Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. All papers will be peer reviewed. Schedule: Submission deadline: *October 20, 2004* Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2005 Submission of final revised manuscript: February 28, 2005 Expected date for publication: Third quarter of 2005 ============================================================== For further details information please refer to the CFP at: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~trl/ijwmc ============================================================== _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers: First IEEE International Workshop on Networking Meets Databases (NetDB) Date: Fri, 01 Oct 2004 14:32:23 -0700 From: Ramesh Govindan <ramesh(a)usc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL For PAPERS --------------- 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networking Meets Databases (NetDB) in cooperation with 21st IEEE Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2005) April 8th and 9th, 2005 National Center of Science Tokyo, Japan The First Workshop on Networking Meets Databases, NetDB, will bring together researchers in the networking and database communities to debate emerging research directions. We are witnessing the blurring of the traditional boundaries between these two disciplines, especially in the emerging areas of sensor and peer-to-peer networks. We believe time is ripe for these two communities to get together and discuss the common interests, share and exchange expertise and results, and appreciate each other's terminologies and contributions. The goal of this year's workshop is to promote discussion of ideas that will influence and foster continued research in the areas of sensor and peer-to-peer networks. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers to present new ideas that can significantly impact both communities and perhaps give birth to a new community in the long term. We encourage submissions in the areas of sensor and peer-to-peer networks across the broad range of networking and database research. Topics of interest include, but are by no means limited to: - Architectures for sensor and peer-to-peer databases - Applications of sensor and peer-to-peer databases - Data analysis for network traffic estimation and security - Data models, query models, and query languages for sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Data placement and storage in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Query planning, execution, and optimization in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Indexing, caching, and replication techniques for sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Scalable distributed data structures for data management in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Workload characterization and performance evaluation for sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Dynamic schema integration in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Self-* properties and emergent behavior in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Transaction management for peer-to-peer networks - Data mining, data retrieval, and streaming in peer-to-peer systems The selection of NetDB papers will be based primarily on their potential to influence future research. This influence can be exercised in many ways, exemplified by but not limited to the following: - Describing a novel approach to an old problem that promises to influence future research - Describing a new problem that requires our attention - Articulating a new perspective about networking and databases - Debunking an old perspective about networking or databases Copies of the accepted papers will be made publicly available via the Web prior to the workshop. Proceedings will be made available as an IEEE formal electronic post-workshop proceeding, where the papers will be included in the digital library of IEEE CS. We are investigating a special issue of a journal to publish a selected set of accepted papers. **Important Dates - Submissions due: November 15, 2004 (10:00 pm Pacific, HARD) - Notification of acceptance: January 10, 2005 - Camera-ready copy due: February 4, 2005 - Workshop: April 8-9, 2005 **Invited Speaker: - Michael Franklin (UCB) **Program Committee Co-Chairs: - Ramesh Govindan (USC) - Cyrus Shahabi (USC) **Program Committee Members: Karl Aberer (EPFL) Divyakant Agrawal (UCSB) Gustavo Alonso (ETH) Philippe Bonnet (Diku, Copenhagen) John Byers (Boston Uiversity) Ugur Cetintemel (Brown University) Amr El Abbadi (UCSB) Steve Gribble (University of Washington) Wei Hong (Intel, Berkeley) Vana Kalogeraki (UC Riverside) Brad Karp (CMU) Sam Madden (MIT) Evaggelia Pitoura (University of Ioannina, Greece) Mema Roussopoulos (Harvard University) Scott Shenker (UCB, ICSI) Ouri E.
