[Fwd: [Tccc] December 1-Deadline extension for JSAC SI on Intelligent Services and Applications in Next Generation Networks]
by Lars Wolf 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

-------- 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.

-------- 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.

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.

[Fwd: 2nd CfP Pervasive 2004: Conference on Pervasive Computing]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2nd CfP Pervasive 2004: Conference on Pervasive Computing Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 17:51:04 +0200 (MEST) From: Pervasive 2004 Publicity Chair <publicity(a)pervasive2004.org> To: <lars.wolf(a)KOM.tu-darmstadt.de> ********************************************************************* * * * Call for Papers * * * * P E R V A S I V E 2004 * * 2nd International Conference on Pervasive Computing * * * * Linz / Vienna, Austria * * April 19-23, 2004 * * * * http://www.pervasive2004.org * * * ********************************************************************* * Description A vast manifold of tiny, embedded and autonomous computing and communication systems have started to create and populate a pervasive and ubiquitous computing landscape, characterized by the autonomy of their programmed behavior, the dynamics and context- awareness of services and applications they offer, the ad-hoc interoperability of services and the different modes of user interaction upon those services. This is mostly due to technological progress like the maturing of wireless networking, exciting new information processing possibilities induced by novel microprocessor technologies, low power storage systems, smart material, and motor-, controller-, sensor- and actuator technologies. A future computing scenario is envisioned in which almost every object in our everyday environment will be equipped with embedded processors, wireless communication facilities and embedded software to perceive, perform and control a multitude of tasks and functions. Since many of these objects are already able to communicate and interact with global networks and with each other, the vision of context-aware "smart appliances" and "smart spaces" has already become a reality. Service provision is based on the ability of being aware of the presence of other objects or users, and systems can be designed in order to be sensitive, adaptive and responsive to their needs, habits and even emotions. With pervasive computing technology embodied into real world objects like furniture, clothing, crafts, rooms, etc., those artefacts also become the interface to "invisible" services and allow to mediate between the physical and digital (or virtual) world via natural interaction - away from desktop displays and keyboards. Novel interface concepts for situated interaction give rise for bringing the interaction with computers "back to the real world". All these observations pose serious challenges to the conceptual architectures of computing, and the related engineering disciplines in computer science. PERVASIVE 2004, the Second International Conference on Pervasive Computing, provides a premier venue to bring together researchers and practitioners working in all foundational and applied research areas of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. It will include presentations, workshops, tutorials and multimedia demonstrations on subjects like: * Focus Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Architectures Sensors and Actuators / Computational Perception "Smart" Appliances / Ambient Intelligence New Technologies / New Materials / Small Artefacts Displays / Vision / Mixed Reality Systems Spontaneous / Wireless / Mobile Communication Networked Embedded Systems Context Awareness / Autonomous Computing Coordination Models and Systems Middleware and Software Frameworks Interaction Models / Interaction Design User Interfaces (e.g. Situative/Tangible/Attentive) Emerging Industrial / Business Scenarios Social / Privacy / Security Issues * Submissions Submissions to PERVASIVE 2004 are welcome in the categories Regular Papers and Tech-Notes, Doctoral Colloquium, Videos, and Tutorials and Workshops. * Regular Papers and Tech-Notes Regular papers should present original, highly innovative, prospective and forward-looking research in one or more of the categories given above. Just like regular papers, tech-notes should present directing research, but in very focused and compact format. Tech-notes are not understood as short papers condensed into less page space, but are intended to present pointed results at a high level of technicality. Submissions in this category will be handled electronically and must be in PDF or PostScript file format. Regular papers must not exceed 18 pages (or approx. 10000 words, including text, figures and references), tech-notes must not exceed 5 pages (or approx. 2500 words) formatted single column, single-spaced in Springer LNCS style available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Accepted regular papers and tech-notes will be published in the conference proceedings. PERVASIVE 2004 will adopt a double-blind process for regular paper and tech-note review, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers and vice versa. Authors' names and their affiliations must not be revealed or mentioned anywhere in the paper or in the PDF or postscript file. Submitted papers and tech-notes must be original, unpublished work and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will not be considered for the review process. To submit a paper or tech-note, please refer to the paper submission link (available from October 1st, 2003) at the conference website. Questions about the papers and tech-notes submission process should be directed to the Program Committee Chair (A. Ferscha, Univ. Linz) at progchair(a)pervasive2004.org. * Doctoral Colloquium The PERVASIVE 2004 doctoral colloquium, to be held right before the main conference during April 19-20 in Linz, Austria, invites PhD students and candidates to present, discuss and defend their work-in-progress or preliminary results in an international, agile and renowned audience of junior and senior researchers and developers in the pervasive computing field. Thesis position papers (5 pages or approx. 2500 words) are solicited relating a problem statement, methodological approach, potential for innovation and expected contribution to the international pervasive computing literature. Accepted submissions will be presented during the colloquium and will be included in the PERVASIVE 2004 adjunct proceedings. The PERVASIVE 2004 Doctoral Colloquium Certificate, signed by the international colloquium committee will be handed to the successful presenters. Further information can be obtained from the conference website or the Doctoral Colloquium Chair (G. Kotsis, Univ. Linz) at doctoral(a)pervasive2004.org. * Videos Submissions are invited to present novel pervasive computing systems, devices or just designs, or demonstrate innovative styles of interaction or usability of those systems - in a lively format: as a video. Video clips should be no longer than 8 minutes and be accompanied by a 4 page (or approx. 2000 words) written summary. The author(s) of a video are expected to present a brief introduction at the conference, while all full videos will be presented during the PERVASIVE 2004 Video Night - a special event at a historic place in Vienna. Video papers will be published in the PERVASIVE 2004 adjunct proceedings, all video clips will be presented in the PERVASIVE 2004 Video DVD. Further information can be obtained from the conference website or the Video Chair (H. HÃ¶rtner, Ars Electronica Center) at video(a)pervasive2004.org. * Tutorials and Workshops PERVASIVE 2004 tutorials will provide the dissemination of advanced concepts, technologies and skills to the participants. Tutorial submissions should focus on seminal and pioneering topics of pervasive computing or cover an outstanding new branch of pervasive computing research. Workshop sessions will provide inspiring and influencing discussion on pervasive computing topics. Each workshop aims at the sharing and consolidation of new research ideas and fosters future co-operations. Workshop proposals may be related to any topic of pervasive computing. Further information can be obtained from the conference website, the Tutorials Chair (tutorials(a)pervasive2004.org) or the Workshops Chair (workshops(a)pervasive2004.org) respectively. * Conference Chairs General Chair Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zurich, CH) Program Committee Chair Alois Ferscha (Univ.
