The effort to develop such heterogeneous networks is linked with many technical challenges including seamless vertical handovers across WLAN and 3G radio technologies, security, 3G-based authentication, unified accounting & billing, WLAN sharing (by several 3G networks), consistent QoS and service provisioning, etc. The need to address these issues and provide timely, solid technical contributions in the area of WLAN/3G integration establishes the motivation behind this special issue proposal. In response to the above demand for integrated WLAN/3G mobile data networks, the proposed special issue aims at providing a timely and concise reference of the current activities and findings in the relevant technical fields. The primary goal is to address the key technical issues pertaining to WLAN/3G integration and present novel technical contributions. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): - 3G-based authentication - Security issues - Access to 3G-based services (e.g. WAP, MMS) from WLANs - Access to 3G multimedia services from WLANs - Seamless session handover between WLAN and 3G - WLAN information advertisement - WLAN sharing / 3G network selection - Consistent QoS across WLAN and 3G - 3G-based online/offline billing - 3G voice services over WLANs - Interworking architectures and scenarios - Value added services with WLAN-3G integration - Performance evaluation studies - Standardization activities - Extension of location services to WLANs.

An important attribute of such networks is that they can be deployed "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. Concepts like ambient intelligence and disappearing computers that are part of a global and fully self-organized Internet hint at the scope of this vision, but also at the formidable challenges that come with it. For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: o Architecture and Design o Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation o Internet integration o Social and economic aspects o Pervasive / ubiquitous computing o Localization and mobility management o Security o Energy-efficient protocols and power management o Applications and Service Support o Data dissemination and peer2peer systems PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================ Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. For paper submission, a web page with detailed information will be activated in few days. All papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by LNCS. IMPORTANT DEADLINES =================== - August 2nd, 2004: Submission deadline (hard) - September 29, 2004: Acceptance notification - October 18, 2004: Final version due VENUE ===== The meeting will take place in the famous winter resort of St. Moritz, in Switzerland. This place is synonymous with quality and elegance. The magnificent landscape of the Swiss alps and the fascinating culture of the Engadine valley provide an inspiring background for this conference.

The first event was held in conjunction with IEEE VTC and was a great success. This Workshop is aimed at fostering advances in the field of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, and is dedicated to researchers and practitioners to present their state-of-the-art research and development in this interesting field. The outcomes of this year's Workshop will stimulate and exhilarate the deployment of reliable, sustainable, secure, and context-rich wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. Join this timely event and contribute to shaping the future of wireless communication networks! SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Original papers are solicited in the area of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the GLOBECOM conference proceedings and will be available on /IEEEXplore/. Papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in a journal special issue. All submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS conference management system at http://edas.info <http://edas.info/>, and must be in PDF format. Your submission should include the names, complete mailing addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and the email addresses of the authors. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: July 2, 2004 (NO EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED) Notification of acceptance: August 2, 2004 Camera-ready manuscripts: August 27, 2004 For further details, please visit: http://www.ece.queensu.ca/hpages/faculty/safwat/Conferences/GLOBECOM04/inde… Regards, Ahmed M.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS << Tridentcom 2005 >> Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the DEvelopment of NeTworks and COMmunities February 21 - 25, 2005 Trento, Italy www.tridentcom.org Submission Deadline: September 5, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE ----- Experimental network infrastructures are pivotal for academic researchers, developers, service managers, providers, and ultimately end users to meet the challenges of the emerging fast Internet convergence. Tridentcom 2005 is the first event that brings together all aspects related to experimental telecommunications infrastructures, creating a forum where telecommunication network researchers, developers, vendors, providers, and users can exchange ideas on past and current experiences, needs, and visions for the establishment of such infrastructures. The meeting will take place in Trento, capital of the Trentino province, in the heart of recent and rapidly growing R&D initiatives in Computer Science and Telecommunications, and surrounded by some of the most spectacular skiing resorts in the Alps. Pauses in the conference program will allow social activities and informal interaction among the participants. We are soliciting full papers in all research, development, and deployment areas on experimental telecommunication network infrastructures, from academia as well as from industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Next generation Internet testbeds - Next generation wireless network testbeds - Next generation optical network testbeds - Grid computing network testbeds - Ubiquitous network testbeds - Wireless sensor testbeds - Testbed operation and management for user communities - Testbed operation and management for research communities - Testbed cooperation and integration - Innovative measurement methodologies and tools - Traffic measurements testbeds - Software tools to support distributed testbeds / Virtual labs - Management of massive databases of experimental data - Knowledge and technology transfer procedures - Security (AAA) testing on open testbeds - Social impacts of infrastructures - Infrastructure real-life applications - Business models for infrastructure budgeting and planning - Infrastructure renting and pricing policies - Vendor and providers partnership High quality papers will be selected for possible publication in a journal special issue and will be eligible for the Best Paper Award. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Full papers due: September 5, 2004 Notification of acceptance: October 20, 2004 Final manuscript due: November 10, 2004 Conference Dates: February 21 - 25, 2005
