Information becomes ubiquitous, highly distributed and at the same time accessible from everywhere at any time. Information access takes place in highly dynamic and instable networks. Nevertheless, users and application developers will expect information processing to continue under similar guarantees as those offered by today's stationary and more or less centralized systems, even if some nodes of the pervasive information network are (temporarily) disconnected and/or are in motion. Examples for these guarantees are the ones given by database management systems, e.g., consistency and durability of data. Additional challenges stem from the fact that mobile devices, in particular embedded devices and sensors, are less powerful than their stationary counterparts; they are smaller (resulting, e.g., in smaller in- and output devices and less available storage), have restricted energy supplies and communicate via expensive and unreliable wireless communication media. This workshop aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing ideas, challenges, and opportunities for data management and data access technology in pervasive information systems. New and existing concepts and techniques shall be considered in the light of the rapidly increasing mobility of users and the great advances in system infrastructures, mobile devices, and sensor technologies. Research papers presenting theoretical results, perspective solutions, and practical developments are welcome. Position papers are also welcome and encouraged. TOPICS - Modelling location and mobility semantics - Infrastructure support for mobility - Mobility awareness and adaptability - Location-dependent, context-based querying - Designing location-aware, context-aware services - Discovery and composition of ubiquitous services - Tracking moving objects and mobile users - Mobile sensor and stream data management - Continuous querying and data stream processing - Mobile data dissemination and delivery - Mobile data replication and synchronization - Self-organizing, self-tuning components - Information usage in ad-hoc networks - Pervasive transactional / workflow processing - Quality of service for pervasive computing systems - Mobile access and advanced user interfaces - Security and privacy in ubiquitous systems PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted papers must be unpublished and not exceed 12 pages strictly following Springer's LNCS style. LNCS formatting guidelines and templates can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

August, 2004 GENERAL INFORMATION With more and more devices getting smart and interconnected, ad hoc and sensor networks will open up a realm of new communication and data exchange opportunities. These upcoming networks are characterized by their dynamic structure, lack of a pre-established fixed infrastructure, and constrained resources. In order to allow their successful deployment, various security challenges must be met. Examples include missing `a priori' security associations, no clear line of defense, the lack of a trusted infrastructure, complex multiple domain relationships, as well as bandwidth, computing, memory, and energy constraints. Due to the pervasive nature of applications relying on ad-hoc and sensor networks effective provisions for robust security solutions in a reliable and power efficient way must be taken. This workshop seeks submissions presenting novel research on all aspects of security and cryptography for ad-hoc and sensor networks. ESAS 2004 will be a workshop where the cryptography, security and wireless networking communities meet. Submission of papers based on work- in-progress is encouraged. The topics include but are not limited to: * Cryptographic protocols * Trust establishment, negotiation, and management * Security in constrained environments * Cooperation and fairness based protocols * Key management * Scalability evaluation of secure and reliable protocols * Secure routing * Secure hardware modules * Implementations of secure protocols * Deployment of secure protocols * Privacy and anonymity * Secure MAC protocols INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred submission form is by electronic mail to Claude.Castelluccia(a)inrialpes.fr. The submissions must not exceed 10 pages (excluding the title page, bibliography and appendices),nor 12 pages overall. The final version should not exceed 15 pages.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP IEEE Network Magazine special issue on 'Ad hoc Networking: Data Communications & Topology Control' Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 12:22:18 +0100 From: David Simplot <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> Organization: IRCICA/LIFL, Univ. Lille 1 To: <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: arp(a)cines.fr, com-info(a)lifl.fr, alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr, tarot(a)hds.utc.fr Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ================================================================== *LAST* Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on 'AD HOC NETWORKING: DATA COMMUNICATIONS & TOPOLOGY CONTROL' http://www.lifl.fr/RD2P/download/net-adhoc-cfp-final.pdf IEEE Network seeks articles for a special issue on Ad Hoc Networking: Data Communications and Topology Control, to appear in July 2004. The guest editors for this special issue are David Simplot-Ryl, University of Lille, France, and Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada. 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 and satellite systems. Ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Particular ad hoc network systems include packet radio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftop networks, and wireless local area networks. Even multi-hop cellular networks may be a viable option when a huge number of cellular phones are concentrated on a small area such as stadium. This special issue will cover comprehensively the network layer in ad hoc networks, which deals with data communication and topology control problems. Data communication problems include routing, broadcasting, multicasting, geocasting, clustering, area monitoring, data and service access. Topology control problems include neighbor discovery, topology construction and maintenance, activity scheduling, position discovery, partition detection, location updates, and network management. The new approaches to ad hoc networks design emphasize cross-layering approach, and therefore the relevant issues arising from network layer problems will also be covered, such as power management, security, quality of service, performance evaluation, data link and transport layers. The goal of the special issue is to publish original research and review articles which should be comprehensive to all readers, regardless of their specialty. Manuscript submission Send papers as PDF file to both co-guest editors simplot(a)lifl.fr and ivan(a)site.uottawa.ca. It is recommended that submissions be limited to 4500 words, with the number of references limited to 10. Guidelines for authors can be found on the IEEE Network magazine Website at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html .

24 Oct '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Final Call for Papers Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 11:57:19 -0400 From: Ahmad, Aftab <aahmad(a)nsu.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> *International Journal of Communication Systems* /Special Issue on/ *_"QoS Support and Service Differentiation in Wireless Networks"_* /Tentative Publication Date: April 2004 Full paper//s s//ubmission deadline: //01 November 2003/ /Reviews due: /15 January 2004 Camera-ready copies due: 15 February 2004 Wireless access technology has created a new dimension for user access over the past few years. This has opened up a number of issues, one of which is QoS. The rapid adoption of wireless and IP based applications has created a strong driving force towards ubiquitous data services. A common understanding of the next generation of wireless systems that will offer such services is that they will involve multiple technologies and concepts that are still evolving. A major challenge in this heterogeneous environment is to provide proper QoS for mobile and stationary users using both customized and access agnostic applications and the need to analyze latency as a function of traffic profiles. The goal of this Special Issue is to collect high-quality scientific contributions discussing QoS strategies and tradeoffs at the Physical, Data Link, Network and Transport layers, for both already deployed as well as innovative/emerging wireless technologies. Papers reporting original, unpublished results on following topics are solicited: - Service differentiation and current enhancements in wireless LANs. - QoS management and capacity optimization in multi-access, multi-service networks. - Resource management for QoS-sensitive services. - Local versus end-to-end QoS provisioning, including QoS issues in mixed cellular/WLAN environment. - Software implementation and its robustness for QoS in wireless networks. - Performance models for multi-class wireless networks with emphasis on latency, throughput and goodput for various offered traffic profiles. - Architectures and Protocols for QoS provisioning in multi-access multi-service networks * * *Submission Instructions* Only electronic submissions are welcomed.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP on Applications and Services for the B3G/4G era Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 12:29:51 +0300 (EEST) From: zahariad(a)ellemedia.com To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies for multiple reception of this CFP. You may also go to: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/cfpwireless1004.pdf Best Regards, Theodore Zahariadis -------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Applications and Services for the B3G/4G era The path towards 4G networks incorporates a number of critical trends. Operators have already made huge investments in 2G, 2G+ and 3G technologies. Moreover, future wireless infrastructures will have to compete with multiple successfully deployed wired and wireless communications' systems. Thus, the 4G era has to provide really break-through technologies in order to persuade for its necessity. Innovations in air interface technology, enhancements in signalling and transport protocols, end-to-end QoS, worldwide seamless mobility of terminals and personal bubbles will lead to next generation wireless networks. Research on all these areas has been initiated, and it is expected to provide impressive results in a couple of years. Besides the system and network infrastructure advances, innovative steps are also required in the applications and services domain. Evolution towards 4G is expected to be similar to what happened to the Internet: from a limited application environment to an integral part of average person's life. Wireless services will shift from voice to packet data and users will become more accustomed to conducting wireless business and financial transactions. Many future wireless applications have already been considered. Mobile Internet, mobile multiparty videoconference, mobile office, mobile VPNs, mobile tele-presence, mobile e-commerce, etc. are among the foreseen future applications, but none has already convinced that it is the "killer" one. This special issue of IEEE Wireless Communications aims to describe the future service creation, execution and provisioning environments, frameworks and platforms, trends in the direction towards new added value applications and services, applications and services that will enable new business models and new ways of working anywhere, anytime and in any context, and share this vision with the magazines' audience. In more details, this special issue seeks unpublished papers in that tackle the following areas: · Applications and services for mobile users and professionals · Interoperable mobile/ wireless technologies and convergence of fixed and mobile communication infrastructures. · Open, context and location aware middleware for heterogeneous mobile networks · Service creation environments for B3G/4G mobile/wireless systems · Innovative, adaptive and self-configuring mobile and wireless applications · Adaptive, polymorphic and reconfigurable systems for mobile environments · Applications for mobile PANs · End-to-end QoS issues for heterogeneous mobile networks · Security and privacy of mobile/wireless systems · Power management and control algorithms Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts as a Postscript or PDF email attachment to Dr. Theodore Zahariadis, highlighting the reference author of the paper.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] December 1-Deadline extension for JSAC SI on Intelligent Services and Applications in Next Generation Networks Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 15:12:29 -0400 From: Mohsen Guizani <mguizani(a)cs.wmich.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: Josef Huber <josef-franz.huber(a)icn.siemens.de>, Mario Gerla <gerla(a)cs.ucla.edu> Based on numerous inquiries, the deadline for paper submission to the JSAC Special on "Intelligent Services and Applications in Next Generation Networks" has been extended to December 1, 2003. Please announce this and pass it to your colleagues. Details of the call is given below. Regards, Mohsen Guizani Mario Gerla ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Special issue on Intelligent Services and Applications in Next Generation Networks Next generation networks are expected to be very complex systems interconnecting different technologies and architectures across various software platforms. No single technology or architecture will be able to smoothly glue together such complex systems into a single network of all networks. DSL and Cable once dominating the access networks will be challenged by new cheap alternatives such as Optical Ethernet, Wireless LANs, Fixed Wireless Access systems such as LMDS, and even dark fiber. Metro networks will also be dominated by an array of technologies from Multiple Service Protocol Platforms (MSPP) to resilient packet rings (RPR) to 10 GB-Ethernet switches, and even OXC switching nodes. The backbone will be superhighways utilizing DWDM, OXC nodes interconnecting Gigabit and Terabit IP routers. 3G and beyond mobile networks will be a corner stone in extending communications services to mobile users.New Services and applications will be supported on these complex systems through upper layer middleware software platforms. These services will no longer be independent static sources of content, rather will have intelligent software to adapt those sources to varying networks conditions, technologies, and platforms. This will be achieved through another intelligent layer of cognitive middleware that is capable of interfacing these services to the underlying network technologies. New services must be capable of receiving information about the network and adaptively tune their transport parameters as well as bit-rates according to the underlying networking conditions/technologies. New Services and contents will need to understand networking traffic parameters, and react accordingly in order to maintain smooth traffic flows in the network and avoid skewness behaviors. The scope of this special issue is to address the research and development efforts of the aforementioned various issues in the area of intelligent services and applications in next generation networks. In particular we are interested in papers dealing with state-of-the-art design and analysis, implementation and experimental results of cognitive and intelligent software agents/services and applications as well as novel architectures for intelligent content delivery. In this context, topics include: . Cognitive middleware . Cognitive Software Agents . Cognitive Services and applications . Novel architectures for intelligent content delivery . Adaptive QoS provisioning issues . Peer-to-peer networking . Adaptive rate video encoding . Intelligent traffic management and control . Experimental test-beds and results . Programmable services interfaces . Intelligent Transport and Routing Protocols . Adaptive, congestion controlled multicast / management and control . Intelligent algorithms . Service-aware congestion and traffic control protocols . Wireless and Mobile issues for intelligent services . Adaptive security issues . Case studies Original, unpublished contributions prepared in accordance to the IEEE J-SAC format will be considered. PAPERS NOT RELATED TO ONE OF THE ABOVE LISTED TOPICS WILL NOT BE REVIEWED. ONLY electronic submissions in PDF format can be sent to any of the listed guest editors. The following timetable shall apply: Manuscript Submission: December 1, 2003 Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: July 1, 2004 Publication: 1st Quarter 2005 Mohsen Guizani, Professor & Chair Department of Computer Science Western Michigan University Email: mguizani(a)cs.wmich.edu Mario Gerla, Professor Computer Science Department UCLA Email: gerla(a)cs.ucla.edu Mamoru Sawahashi, NTT DoCoMo, Japan E-mail: sawahasi(a)mlab.yrp.nttdocomo.co.jp Josef F.

[Fwd: CFP: Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet]
by Lars Wolf 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 20:30:04 -0300 From: Nelson Fonseca <nfonseca(a)ic.unicamp.br> To: itc(a)comsoc.org *IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on*** *Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet* Recent technological advances have led to a substantial interest in Internet streaming issues. The reasons for this increased interest are many. Broadband connectivity to home users is now available via technologies such as Cable modems and DSL. Commercial organizations like Akamai have deployed global content distribution networks that allow streaming of content from edge servers, alleviating many of the drawbacks of streaming data over best-effort networks. Despite hurdles in the deployment of IP multicast, application-level multicast of content permits scalable delivery of high bandwidth content to a large number of users. These exciting technological advances have raised a number of interesting researchquestions. How can edge servers (proxies) be employed for scaling the delivery of popular streaming content to very large numbers of users? Can peer-to-peer streaming be used to alleviate the load on popular servers and proxies? How can streaming content be delivered effectively to small devices such as PDAs and cell phones? How can techniques such as multi-path streaming be used to reduce packet loss How feasible is it to use TCP for streaming content? The Feature issue on "Proxy Support for Streaming in the Internetis" is devoted to these emerging issues in Internet streaming. *Potential topics of interest include:* Scalable video delivery Peer to peer streaming Multi-path streaming TCP streaming Edge servers and content delivery networks for streaming *Schedule* *Submission Deadline: December 1st, 2003* Acceptance Notification: March 15, 2004 Final Manuscript: May 1st, 2004 Publication: August 2004 *Submission* Papers can be of tutorial nature or present new research and development material.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] IPSN'04: Reminder: Two weeks left Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2003 20:33:34 -0500 (CDT) From: Jennifer Hou <jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu *** Submission Deadline: Oct. 27 (abstract)/Nov. 3 (full paper), 2003 *** **** That is, TWO MORE WEEKS TO GO **** The 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN'04) to be held: April 26-27, 2004 Berkeley, California, USA http://ipsn04.cs.uiuc.edu/ Sponsorship by IEEE Signal Processing Society and ACM SIGBED In cooperation with IEEE Communications Society and ACM Sigmobile (pending) With support from NSF and DARPA [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Following the success of the first two Workshops (www.parc.com/events/ipsn03), the 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks will bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent work in this emerging field. Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), critical infrastructure protection (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and situational awareness for battlefield applications. Information processing in sensor networks draws upon many disciplines including signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity. This Symposium will address issues from physical device design, to signal processing and from networking to coordination protocols. The Symposium will place special attention to revolutionary new applications that are enabled by sensor network technology. Topical areas of sensor networks include, but not limited to: * Distributed and collaborative signal processing * Network protocols for sensor networks * Coding, compression, and information theory * Distributed query processing * Detection, classification, estimation, and tracking * Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity * Sensor tasking and control * Embedded architectures and tools * In-network processing and aggregation * Data storage in sensor networks * Location and time services * Energy and resource management * Distributed inference and fusion * Programming models and languages * Real-time scheduling * Security and fault tolerance * Simulation tools and environments * Networked sensing and control * Applications of sensor networks (e.g., automotive, battlefield, biology, construction, disaster recovery, environmental, medical, security) Along with a set of high-quality technical papers, IPSN'04 will also include invited talks that highlight the state-of-the-art of sensor network applications and research. The Symposium program will include poster sessions that provide researchers with opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the sensor network community at large. The Symposium will also include industrial exhibition and demonstrations. KEY DATES Abstract submission: October 27, 2003 Full manuscript due: November 3, 2003 (firm deadline) Acceptance notification: January 20, 2004 Camera-ready copy: February 14, 2004 Conference: April 26-27, 2004 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE All papers will be submitted electronically, in Portable Document Format (PDF) format.
