This is a final deadline. ============================================== End-to-End Quality of Service Differentiation *Special Issue of the Journal of Computer Communications* http://www.elsevier.nl/inca/publications/store/5/2/5/4/4/0/ Guest Editors *Hossam Hassanein* (Queen's University, Canada); *Hanan Lutfiyya* (University of Western Ontario, Canada) *Publication*: WINTER 2003 Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a proposed architecture from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in which various applications are supported using a simple classification scheme. Packets entering the DiffServ domain are marked depending on the Packets' class. However, for many QoS-sensitive applications such as e-commerce and steaming media, QoS differentiation at the network-level only may not be sufficient to guarantee QoS requirements. Such applications require end-to-end QoS differentiation. End-to-end QoS guarantees require service differentiation at the network, middleware, operating system and application levels. This issue of /Computer Communications/ is interested in visionary, experimental, systems- and performance-related papers in the area of QoS differentiation at the network, middleware, operating system and application levels. Papers should describe original and previously unpublished, and not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Differentiated Services Architectures · QoS-aware operating systems · Next Generation Internet · Policy-based QoS differentiation · Packet classification and marking · Application-level service differentiation · Packet Scheduling · Middleware for QoS server design · Differentiated buffer management · Multimedia distributed databases · Content-aware switches · QoS portability · Active network support for QoS differentiation · QoS aware Web architectures · Multi-level admission control · Differentiated Web caching · QoS differentiation for e-commerce and m-commerce · Internet Privacy and Security *IMPORTANT DATES* Deadline for submissions: June 1 2003 Notification of acceptance: September 1 2003 Publication: Winter 2003 *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Guidelines on how to present your paper are given at http://www.elsevier.nl/inca/publications/store/5/2/5/4/4/0/.

Such processors will spark off new applications in particular in the area of everyday consumer devices. Mobile telecommunication systems increase bandwidth and will yield highly connected, ubiquitous computing systems. System design and management complexity increase to a level where a new paradigm may provide help: Organic computing (also known as autonomic computing) borrows from analogies between complex technical and biological systems. It follows a human-centered approach by leveraging self-organization capabilities. Organic computing investigates the design and implementation of self-managing systems that are self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing, self-protecting, context aware, and anticipatory. ARCS 2004 will emphasize the design, realization and analysis of the emerging organic and pervasive systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The conference focuses on system aspects of organic and pervasive computing in software and hardware. In particular, the system integration and self-management of hardware, software and networking aspects of up-to-now unconnected devices is a challenging research topic. ARCS 2004 continues and replaces the biennial series of German Conferences on Architecture of Computing Systems. This 17th 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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] IEEE Infocom 2004 - Message from Conference General Chair Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 11:25:38 -0400 From: Thomas Hou <thou(a)VT.EDU> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: INFOCOM2004(a)LISTSERV.VT.EDU July 1, 2003, the deadline for paper submission to IEEE INFOCOM 2004, to be held in Hong Kong, March 7 - 11, 2004, is rapidly approaching. The Call For Papers can be found at _http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2004/_. We are well aware that there is concern about SARS among some potential authors; however, all signs indicate that SARS is now under control. As you may already know, the World Health Organization lifted its travel advisory to Hong Kong and Guangdong, China last week. The number of new cases in the rest of China is also decreasing rapidly. While we continue to closely monitor the situation, be assured that we do have contingency plans. We will see what happens the rest of this year and will be prepared to reevaluate the situation in late November before the Advance Program is published. For now, we would like to reassure you all that IEEE INFOCOM 2004 will be held as planned. We encourage you to submit your work before July 1, 2003, and be considered to present your paper in a beautiful setting overlooking Hong Kong Harbor. Victor O.K.

There are several research issues still to be explored in the public WLAN arena. What is the overall network architecture and service model? How to roam through multiple wireless access providers with a unique service contract? How to decouple the wireless infrastructure providers from the Internet service (and content) providers? How to locate service facilities in the wireless access domain and how to match the available facilities with the user needs? How to exploit location and context information? How to provide differentiated service levels to different customers? This workshop is aimed at discussing these and several other technical and business challenges behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access mean. Leaders and thinkers of the field from academia and industry will assemble to share their ideas and views.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ACM/MC2R "Wireless PAN & Sensor Networks" CFP Date: Mon, 26 May 2003 20:22:54 +0300 From: Theodore Zahariadis <zahariad(a)ellemedia.com> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM/SIGMOBILE MC2R MOBILE COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW A PUBLICATION OF ACM SIGMOBILE Call For Papers Special Issue on: "Wireless PAN & Sensor Networks" Objectives Despite of the worldwide recession, especially in the telecommunications market, and the delays in the 3G mobile networks' deployment, the vision of a new forth generation (4G) all-IP mobile/wireless network is emerging rapidly. In the forthcoming 4G era, apart from the installed infrastructure based networks, Wireless Personal Area Networks (PANs) and sensor networks are expected to fulfil the "anywhere and anytime" ubiquitous services' requirement. Users will require forming "ad-hoc" networks to communicate with colleagues at work, at conferences, at "hot-spots", at home, or on the move. Moreover Personal Area Networks (PAN) centred on the individual himself will evolve. PAN networks will include any collection of devices that belong to or are carried by a networked user (e.g. cell phone, laptop, earphones, GPS navigator, palm pilot, beeper, portable scanner, etc.) and form his/her personal "PAN-bubble". The bubble may expand or shrink dynamically depending on user's environment and needs. For example it may connect to routers, sensors or actuators. Such access is critical when the mobile user enters into a new location and aims to quickly sense and control the environment (e.g. gain access/ connectivity, control the temperature, adjust the lighting) or get recognized by the environment sensors (e.g. welcome message, uninterrupted communication, automatic selection of a background music, etc.) Wireless PAN and sensor networks will require sophisticated algorithmic solutions to realize and maintain high-speed, cost-effective, energy-efficient and reliable wireless networks. This special issue aims to bringing together state-of-the-art contributions and provide a comprehensive and updated reference in this field. In this context, the challenges, the protocols, the applications and the technologies that enable the wireless PANs and sensor networks will be addressed. This special issue of the MC2R is devoted to the future ad-hoc networks i.e. Wireless Personal Area Networks & Sensor Networks. The purpose is to disseminate the recent advances and research activities in these fields and provide a comprehensive and updated reference. In this context, the challenges, the protocols, the applications and the technologies that enable the wireless PANs and sensor networks will be addressed. More specifically, the special issue will cover topics that include the architecture, routing and QoS protocols, modelling, performance evaluation, and experimentation of ad-hoc PANs and sensor networks. Particularly encouraged are articles from industry that discuss the latest industrial advances. Topics Original research and review papers are solicited that cover (but are not limited to) any of the following areas: - Self-organized, auto-configured ad-hoc networks - Intelligent multi-hop routing in ad-hoc PAN/sensor networks - QoS in ad-hoc PAN networks - Multimedia ad-hoc communications - Resource discovery and self-configuration of - Applications in Wireless PANs/sensor networks - Radio resource management - WPANs in 4G networks - Intelligent mobile agents - Implementation and performance evaluation MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Paper submission will be handled electronically.
