-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: WONS2004 - Madonna di Campiglio (Italy) Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2003 14:33:40 +0200 From: Mauro Brunato <brunato(a)dit.unitn.it> Organization: Università di Trento To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS WONS 2004 First International Working Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems (sponsorship by IFIP WG 6.3 and 6.8 is pending for approval) http://dit.unitn.it/wons/ wons(a)dit.unitn.it Madonna di Campiglio (Italy) January 21-23, 2004 Wireless LANs are enjoying a growing interest at all levels: research, application, business. The explosive growth of IEEE802.11b (Wi-Fi), the ongoing change of spectrum management policies and the technology boost making wireless wideband a reality are bringing high bandwidth wireless connectivity to the masses. Connectivity and networking built "on-demand", where and when they are needed in an evolutionary and incremental fashion with limited investments, is spawning new research and business opportunities, offering unprecedented possibilities to support working communities and ubiquitous, cooperative computing. Many aspects of the current wireless LANs growth resemble the rapid, and in part anarchic and unexpected, evolution of the wired Internet. The road is traced and enthusiasm is mounting but many challenges have to be solved before providing seamless communication, reliable quality, secure high bandwidth connectivity, and useful services. The conference will concentrate on new research issues open in the "wireless Internet" context, including design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models and practical implementation. Sound experimental evaluation of new techniques will also be considered. The meeting will take place in one of the finest winter resorts of the Alps, Madonna di Campiglio, in the Trentino region. The cozy atmosphere of the conference hotel, facing one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Alps, will facilitate concentration and creativity. The schedule of the meeting will consist of presentations in the morning and in the afternoon/evening. A pause after lunch will allow social activities and informal interaction among the participants. Topics comprise, but are not limited to: - Wireless access to the Internet - Modelling and performance evaluation of wireless LANs - Quality of service and pricing ("charging for quality") - Traffic and user activity models - Service differentiation mechanisms - Virtual operators in WiFi networks - Pervasive / ubiquitous computing - Location and context-awareness - Wireless LANs design - Management, authentication, authorization and accounting - On-Demand, Ad-Hoc Networks ---------------------------------------------------------- Keynote speech: "Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Protocols and Applications" Mario Gerla, Computer Science Department, UCLA ---------------------------------------------------------- Negotiation is in progress with Springer to publish the Conference Proceedings in the series "Lecture Notes in Computer Science". Extended versions of the best papers will be considered for publication on a special issue of MONET (Kluwer/ACM Mobile Networks and Applications) dedicated to the conference. A Best Paper Award will be assigned at the conference. ---------------------------------------------------------- Important deadlines: - August 1st, 2003 (Hard Deadline): Electronic Full Paper Submission - September 30, 2003: Acceptance Notification - October 15, 2003: Final Version Due ---------------------------------------------------------- General Chair: Roberto Battiti, University of Trento, Italy Local Organization Chairs: Sandro Pera, University of Trento, Italy Alessandro Villani, University of Trento, Italy Publicity Chairs: Mauro Brunato, University of Trento, Italy Program Committee Chairs: Renato Lo Cigno, University of Trento, Italy Enrico Conti, CNR Pisa, Italy Technical Program Committee: Arup Acharya, IBM T.J.

Such devices provide data access to mobile users as they move within buildings, cities, or across the globe. This new infrastructure presents tremendous challenges for data management technology including: huge scale; variable and intermittent connectivity; location-centric and location-dependent applications; bandwidth, power, and device size limitations; and multimedia data delivery across hybrid networks and systems. Traditional data management technologies such as query processing, transaction management, workflow, business process management and metadata management must all be re-evaluated in this emerging environment. Furthermore, non-traditional issues such as semantics of mobile data, location-dependent querying, broadcast and multicast delivery and caching/pre-fetching techniques must all be addressed. The ability to track/monitor people raises serious issue of security and privacy. This conference aims to investigate these and other issues, focusing on the challenges and opportunities for data management and data access technology in the rapidly evolving world of mobile, pervasive, ubiquitous, invisible and wearable computing. Conference Topics ----------------- Theoretical foundations of mobility Modeling location and mobility semantics Data management for ubiquitous computing Metadata management and exchanges Query processing and optimization for mobile users Data placement, caching, replication and relocation to support mobility Resource advertising and discovery techniques to support mobility Mobile transaction management Multimedia in a mobile environment Mobile Web access and Internet applications Context aware adaptation of user interface and content Data mining for mobile application Mobile aware/adaptive/agent applications Mobile agent platforms Middleware support for mobility Data presentation, scripting and exchange languages Mobile and ubiquitous computing applications and systems Workflow management for mobile environments Operating system and network support for ubiquitous mobile computing Security and privacy issues for ubiquitous systems Location dependent user and vehicle tracking Quality of service management for mobile systems Adaptability and stability of pervasive computing systems Data broadcasting in a mobile environment Submission Information ---------------------- Both research and industrial papers are solicited. Research papers must be unpublished and not exceed 12 single-spaced pages. Industrial papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced pages and should describe interesting technical aspects of industrial applications, prototypes, experiences, and standards; performance and design details are encouraged and papers only describing high-level system designs are discouraged. For easy identification, all industrial papers should have as their title "Industry Track: rest of title." Authors are invited to submit papers electronically through the conference Web site at http://www.cs.duke.edu/mdm2004/ on or before June 20, 2003.

The demand for networked consumer systems and devices is large and growing rapidly. At home, in a car or truck, at work or at play, Internet citizens want transparent internetworking for the systems and devices that provide entertainment, information, and communications. This internetworking should be on-demand, with whomever or whatever they want, regardless of time or location. As a result, consumer networking is gaining increasing attention from industry, spawning a range of dramatically different solutions including wireless, wireline, and power line networked communications environments, each with their own strengths and special challenges to overcome. This in turn has defined the scope of consumer networking to range from body and personal area networking, to home networking and wide area networking. In the not too distant future, we will see ad hoc networking augmented with sensors sharing networked knowledge that enables devices and systems to seamlessly interact with the Internet and wide area wireless systems such as WiFi, 3G and future 4G networks. And this is just the beginning! This phenomenon, "Consumer Communications and Networking," has been attracting many researchers in diverse areas from networking to consumer electronics. This conference will present the latest approaches and technical solutions in the area of consumer networking, enabling technologies such as middleware and multimedia, and novel applications and services. The conference will include a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, technology application panels, tutorials, and poster sessions. CCNC 2004 provides a compelling forum for formal discussion and socialization of many of these research challenges with seasoned practitioners and colleagues from both industry and academia.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Cross Layer Design for Communications and Signal Processing Systems]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Cross Layer Design for Communications and Signal Processing Systems Date: Mon, 02 Jun 2003 13:48:55 -0400 From: haitao zheng <haitaoz(a)lucent.com> Organization: Lucent Technologies To: TCCC <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email. ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers EURASIP JOURNAL ON APPLIED SIGNAL PROCESSING Special Issue on Cross Layer Design for Communications and Signal Processing Systems An important aspect of wireless networks is dynamic behavior. The conventional protocol structure is inflexible as various protocol layers can only communicate in a strict manner. In such a case, the layers are designed to operate under the worst conditions, rather than adapting to changing conditions. This leads to inefficient use of spectrum and energy. Adaptation represents the ability of network protocols and applications to observe and respond to the channel variation. Central to adaptation is the concept of cross layer design. In general, cross layer design involves four key layers in the overall protocol stack (i.e., application-layer, transport-layer, network-layer and link-layer). The application can adjust its behavior, e.g., its flow rate or the amount of overhead devoted to error resilience, according to the changing network and channel conditions. The adaptation can also take place in the underlying layers such as TCP and UDP, so that the application originally developed for different networks remain unchanged. Information derived from the application, such as its QoS requirements and the priorities of the packets it produces, could be used in coordinating the behavior of the lower layers for resource efficiency. For example, the persistence level of the link layer ARQ mechanism should be varied according to each application's latency and reliability requirements, as well as the traffic load. Another essential factor to adaptation is each layer's ability to estimate the current and even predict the future network and channel conditions and exchange the information across different layers. This special issue will be devoted to the latest developments in the field of cross layer design, where the emphasis is on interactions among different network layers, so as to improve the performance of communication and signal processing systems. We seek original, previously unpublished, and completed contributions, not currently under review by another journal. Contributions emphasizing recent progress and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Papers are invited from, but not limited to, the following topics: * Architectures and methodologies for cross layer design in wireless and wireline communications * Energy efficiency in wireless ad hoc networks * Dynamic resource allocation and Quality of Service * Scheduling Algorithms and Link Adaptation * Signal Processing and Medium Access Control * Channel Adaptive Routing Protocols * Interaction between TCP, UDP and RLP layers * Channel-aware applications * Joint source and channel design in wireless multimedia communications * Signaling design for cross layer interaction Submission Procedure: Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format described at the Journal website http://asp.hindawi.com/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of the complete manuscript through the EURASIP's web submission system at http://asp.hindawi.com/, according to the following timeline: Manuscript Due: July 31, 2003 Acceptance Notification: February 28, 2004 Final Manuscript due: April 30, 2004 Publication date: 4th Quarter, 2004.
