-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] IPSN'04: One more month to the submission deadline Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 17:54:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Michael Gastpar <gastpar(a)eecs.berkeley.edu> To: ipsn-announce(a)parc.com, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> *** Submission Deadline: Oct. 27 (abstract)/Nov. 3 (full paper), 2003 *** * In other words, ONE MORE MONTH to crank out your best paper for * 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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers - IJCS SI on QoS Suppor and Service Differentiation in Wireless Networks Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 15:02:16 -0400 From: Ahmad, Aftab <aahmad(a)nsu.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> *_Call for Papers_* International Journal of Communication Systems /Special Issue on/ *_"QoS Support and Service Differentiation in Wireless Networks"_* /Tentative Publication Date: April 2004 Full papers submission deadline: //15 October 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.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Deadline is rapidly approaching: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks]
by Lars Wolf 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Deadline is rapidly approaching: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 14:31:09 -0400 From: Jeff Wieselthier <wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/wireless_adhoc.html * *Novel approaches are needed to address ad hoc networks, which are characterized by the lack of an infrastructure. For example, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint modes of communication must be supported in a multihop network that typically consists of small (often disadvantaged) users that are characterized by severely limited energy supply, signal-processing capability, antenna directivity, bandwidth, etc. Crucial applications for mobile ad hoc networks include military communications and disaster relief, although commercial applications are certainly possible as well. In applications with a large number of nodes, scalability is a major concern. The study of ad hoc networks is an interdisciplinary one, which can potentially incorporate communication and information theory, distributed networking algorithms, data structures and compression, coding, signal processing, detection, antenna characteristics, optimization methods, simulation, testbed implementations etc. Papers submitted for this special issue must directly address ad hoc networking issues. We outline here only a few of the many aspects of ad hoc network design and control that will be addressed in this special issue. First, distributed network organization algorithms (such as those for clustering) may be used to create the equivalent of an ad hoc infrastructure. Distributed algorithms are also needed for routing, channel access, and other control functions. Networking techniques for ad hoc networks must address the challenges imposed by the all-wireless environment. For example, by contrast with wired networks, the conventional layered protocol stack is not well suited to the ad hoc wireless networking environment because it does not exploit the potential improvements in performance that can be obtained by jointly designing protocols that span multiple layers. Specifically, it is expected that improved performance can be obtained by considering the properties of the physical and data link layers when designing and operating the media-access control (MAC) protocol. Similarly, there are potential benefits to be obtained by developing protocols that address jointly the routing and MAC functions. Additional benefits can be obtained by jointly addressing higher-layer functions along with routing and MAC. Energy-aware protocols (from the perspective of either energy-efficient or energy-constrained operation) are of critical importance in many ad hoc scenarios. Such energy-aware operation can span multiple layers, e.g., by addressing trade-offs between energy used for RF transmission and for signal processing. It is the goal of this special issue to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks by examining all aspects of ad hoc network design and control, including the dependencies between various network functions and the potential benefits that can be gained by cross-layer design. We are interested in papers on fundamental performance limits, but more importantly on algorithm design and performance, system implementations, etc. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Physical layer issues in ad hoc networks * Media Access Control (MAC) techniques * Self-organizing architectures and protocols * Routing protocols * Cross-layer protocol design * Mobility management * Protocols for mobile applications * Transport-layer issues * Signal-processing issues in ad hoc networks * Integration with wired networks * Applications * Energy-aware protocols * Security in ad hoc networks * Capacity and scheduling * Node implementation * Effects on existing protocols * Quality of service * Broadcasting and multicasting * Multimedia and traffic integration * Experiments and testbeds * Error-control schemes * Synchronization and scheduling * Scalability * Performance analysis and simulation * Properties of antennas * Optimization methods * Fundamental limits in ad hoc networks All papers on any of the above topics must include a definite and strong connection to ad hoc networks. Please contact Jeffrey Wieselthier at wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil if there are any questions about the suitability of the paper for this special issue. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE J-SAC format described in the Information for Authors at the J-SAC website.

[Fwd: [Tccc] 2nd CFP IEEE Network Magazine special issue on 'Ad hoc Networking: Data Communications & Topology Control']
by Lars Wolf 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] 2nd CFP IEEE Network Magazine special issue on 'Ad hoc Networking: Data Communications & Topology Control' Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 18:55:30 +0200 From: David Simplot <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> Organization: IRCICA/LIFL, Univ. Lille 1 To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ================================================================== 2nd 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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CfP Pervasive 2004: Conference on Pervasive Computing Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 15:08:02 +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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] IPSN'04 Call for Papers Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 15:29:27 -0500 (CDT) From: Jennifer Hou <jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: zhao(a)parc.com Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Call for Papers The 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN'04) Sponsorship by ACM SIGBED, IEEE Signal Processing Society, IEEE Communication Society Pending sponsorship by NSF and DARPA April 26-27, 2004 Berkeley, California, USA http://ipsn04.cs.uiuc.edu/ * Submission Deadline: October 27, 2003 * 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 27-28, 2004 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE All papers will be submitted electronically, in Portable Document Format (PDF) format.
