-------- 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.

-------- 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

[Fwd: [Tccc] Call for Papers: First IEEE International Workshop on Networking Meets Databases (NetDB)]
by Lars Wolf 04 Oct '04

04 Oct '04

-------- 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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05) Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 15:17:53 +0200 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2005 In conjunction with the 25th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations. This first workshop intends to put together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2005 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

[Fwd: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05)]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [iscc2005] SIUMI Workshop (within IEEE ICDCS'05) Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 15:17:53 +0200 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2005 In conjunction with the 25th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'05) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 6th, 2005 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'05 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should be able to adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues that call for a re-examination on the design of the middleware of both the fixed and the mobile counterpart. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations. This first workshop intends to put together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2005 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/). Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Emails and hard copies will be accepted only if motivated reasons prevent electronic submission.
