-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CfP: ARCS - 18th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2004 10:40:05 +0200 From: announce(a)teco.edu To: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Call For Papers 18th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS) - System Aspects in Organic and Pervasive Computing Innsbruck, Austria, March 14-17, 2005 http://www.teco.edu/arcs05 Paper Submission Deadline: September 20, 2003 ======================================================================= Future computer systems will be much more integrated into the fabric of everyday life than today's computers are. They will become smaller, more appropriate for their use, integrated into everyday objects and often virtually or physically invisible to the users. They will be also deployed in a much higher quantity and penetrate many application areas To provide such features and functionality, computer devices become tinier yet still increase in complexity; they must consume less power, while still supporting advanced computation and communications, such that they are highly connected yet still operate as autonomous units. This brings several research topics to the fore, including ultra-low power consumption, self-awareness, adaptive networking, smart behavior of systems, scalability and complexity of devices and systems. Pervasive and ubiquitous computing research addresses such issues by developing concepts and technology for interweaving computers into our everyday life. The principle approach is to enhance system functionality and adaptability by recognizing context and situations in the environment. Organic computing then addresses high system complexity by drawing analogies from complex biological systems, with the human-centered goal of self-organization. Organic computing investigates the design and implementation of self-managing systems that are selfconfiguring, self-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, context aware, and anticipatory. ARCS 2004 will emphasize the design, realization and analysis of the emerging computing systems for organic and pervasive computing and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The conference focuses on system aspects of organic and pervasive computing in software and hardware. In particular, system integration and self-management of hardware, software and networks are in the centre of interest. ARCS 2005 continues and replaces the biennial series of German Conferences on Architecture of Computing Systems. This 18th conference in the series serves as a forum to present current work on all aspects of computer and systems architecture. Besides its main focus, the conference is open for more general and interdisciplinary themes in operating systems, networking, and computer architecture. Papers pertaining to aspects of computer and systems architecture, in particular in the field of organic and pervasive computing are sought, including: Enabling Technologies and Infrastructure - operating systems - middleware for organic, pervasive and peer-to-peer computing - multi-agent and mobile agent systems - bio-analogue and artificial-life systems - context and locality - low power systems design - machine-learning, prediction, pro-activity - system design and simulation - reconfigurable hardware and software systems - safety, security, reliability - self-managing service configuration Architectures and Systems - computer and system architecture - modular distributed devices - self-managing, self-healing and fault-tolerant systems - real-time systems - mobile and wearable devices - embedded systems (consumer electronics, automotive) Applications - scenarios for ubiquitous and pervasive computing - autonomic environments - network server architectures and network based applications - semantic networks - ubiquitous, home and wireless networking The conference is organized by the special interest group on Computer and Systems Architecture of the GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik - German Informatics Society) and ITG (Informationstechnische Gesellschaft - Information Technology Society), supported by OCG (Austrian Computer Society), OVE/GIT (Austrian Electrotechnical Associastion) and electrosuisse (ITG), and held in cooperation with IFIP, ACM and IEEE (approval requested).

[Fwd: [Tccc] Last CFP: ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs]
by Lars Wolf 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP: ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2004 12:26:40 +0300 From: Salkintzis Apostolis-Y1026C <salki(a)motorola.com> To: 'tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> My apologies if you receive this message more than once. *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Wireless Personal Communications Journal* *<**_http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/_**>* ** *ADVANCES ON WIRELESS LANs AND PANs* The recent evolution and successful deployment of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) worldwide has paved the way to more intense standardization and R&D activities, that target even more sophisticated and advanced WLAN/WPAN systems. Standardization activities within the IEEE 802.11 working group are already underway for evolving the dominant WLAN standard in several aspects, including security, mobility and quality of service (QoS. In addition, alternative physical and MAC layer proposals are being considered for improving bit rates to ranges in excess of 100 Mbps. Similar activities are taking placing within the ETSI BRAN project to further evolve the HIPERLAN/2 standard. At the same time, the core representative of WPANs, i.e. Bluetooth, is being further evolved by IEEE 802.15 TG1. Other task groups within IEEE 802.15 develop specifications for high- and low-rate WPANs, known as IEEE 802.15.3 and IEEE 802.15.4 respectively. Moreover, interworking mechanisms are being investigated for combining WLAN/WPANs and second-/third-generation cellular networks into hybrid data networks, capable of very high bit rates in strategic locations (hotspots). 3GPP is one notable standardization body that currently standardizes such interworking mechanisms. Last but not least, it is important to note the numerous research projects worldwide that address a vast collection of issues related to WLANs and WPANs, ranging from the seamless mobility across UTRAN and WLAN (see for example the IST EVOLUTE project at _http://evolute.intranet.gr/)_ to heterogeneous multihop wireless networks consisting of combinations of WPAN and WLAN technologies (see for example the IST 6HOP project). All these activities combined with market forecasts, which report that WLANs and WPANs will encounter a tremendous growth in the next years, demonstrate that WLAN and WPAN technologies will play a significant role in the future and will severely impact our business and personal life styles. However, several issues still need to be efficiently addressed, including power consumption, physical and MAC layer architecture, radio resource management, interworking, QoS, security, co-existence with other unlicensed technologies, self configuration, etc. The goal of this special issue is to address the above issues and provide a timely and concise reference of the current activities and research findings in the fields of WLANs and WPANs. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these technologies. In this context, papers are solicited that describe original and unpublished contributions on representative topics, such as: * Authentication and Security in WLANs and WPANs * QoS and policy issues in WLANs/WPANs * Interworking between WLAN and WPAN technologies * WLANs and 2G/3G interworking * Emerging MAC protocols * Technologies for very-high-bit-rate WLANs * Mobility issues and mobility protocols * Support of multimedia over WLAN/WPAN * Multihop and ad hoc architectures * Applications tailored to WLANs/WPANs * Radio resource management techniques * WLANs/WPANs in 4G networks * WLANs/WPANs co-existence issues * Voice/video over WLANs and WPANs * Standardization activities * Performance studies * Self organization in WLAN networks * Management of large scale WLAN networks Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the Author Instructions available at_ <__http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0929-6212/__>_.

Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: University of Guelph To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu FINALL CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Special Section on Discovery and Interaction of Mobile Services With Guest Editor Qusay H. Mahmoud Department of Computing & Information Science University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, N1G 2W1 Canada qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca Mobile services are mobile/wireless computing applications and services that can be either pushed to user's handheld wireless devices (push mobile services) or downloaded and installed, over the air (pull mobile services). In order to use such services, users of wireless devices need to locate them; they can be located on remote servers or even on peers' devices in a mobile ad hoc setting (or MANET). Therefore, one of the fundamental challenges is the discovery of relevant services in mobile ad hoc networks, but more importantly, selecting a suitable service and interacting with it to accomplish a useful task. Several available service discovery protocols are not suitable for MANETs simply because they have been designed for infrastructure-based networks. In addition, such protocols offer no location-based and context-aware selection mechanisms, and feature minimal interaction models that are not suited for wireless devices with limited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. The aim of this special section is to present most recent research findings on "discovery and interaction of mobile services". We are seeking papers that address discovery, selection, and interaction issues of mobile services. Submissions must be original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: - Discovery protocols for mobile services - Selection and interaction techniques - Security and privacy issues in discovery protocols - Location-dependent and/or context-aware service discovery mechanisms - XML/SOAP for discovery protocols - Lightweight discovery protocols - Agents-based discovery, selection, and interaction - Performance evaluation of discovery protocols Publication Schedule -------------------- Papers are due: August 1, 2004 Notifications: October 1, 2004 Final papers: November 15, 2004 Publication: First available issue (January or April 2005) Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors should email an electronic copy (PDF only) of their papers to Qusay H. Mahmoud, qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca, by August 1, 2004. Submissions should be no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).
