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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Kuvs] CCNC'2004: Call for Papers Date: Tue, 03 Jun 2003 09:21:23 +0200 From: Guenter Schaefer <schaefer(a)ee.tu-berlin.de> To: Guenter Schaefer <schaefer(a)ee.tu-berlin.de> please excuse if you receive multiple copies of this... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers 2004 IEEE CONSUMER COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING CONFERENCE “Consumer Networking: Closing the Digital Divide” (Precedes the CES 2004 International Consumer Electronics Show: www.cesweb.org), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA / 5-8 January, 2004 http://www.ccnc2004.org/ Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society The first IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC'2004) will be held on 5-8 January, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, just prior to the Consumer Electronics Show (www.cesweb.org). 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/.

Are you doing research in distributed object-based systems? Are you using existing distributed-object systems? In other words: are you actively involved in distributed objects and applications (DOAs)? Consider contributing a practice report or a research paper to this innovative event to present, discuss and obtain feedback for your ideas among other practitioners and researchers active in the same area. ____________________________________________________________ Title: International Workshop on Large-Scale Group Communication Deadline: 30-Jun-2003 Webpage: http://ltiwww.epfl.ch/~pedone/workshop.html Conference: 10/05/2003 Synopsis: For more than a decade now, group communication has been an active research area providing basic mechanisms for the design of dependable distributed systems. Even though a lot of effort has been dedicated to developing efficient group communication principles and systems, it is widely accepted that to be deployed adequately in large-scale settings, some of the existing concepts should be revisited. This one-day workshop seeks contributions related to the design and implementation of group communication systems for large-scale applications and environments. ____________________________________________________________ Title: ACM Workshop on Rapid Malcode (WORM) Deadline: 01-Jul-2003 Webpage: http://pisa.ucsd.edu/worm03/ Conference: WORM/October 27th, 2003 Synopsis: In the last several years, Internet-wide infectious epidemics have emerged as one of the leading threats to information security and service availability. The vehicle for these outbreaks, malicious codes called "worms", leverage the combination of software monocultures and the uncontrolled Internet communication model to quickly compromise large numbers of hosts. The goal of this workshop is to bring together ideas, understanding and experience bearing on the worm problem from a wide range of communities including academia, industry and the government. We are soliciting original papers from researchers and practitioners alike. ____________________________________________________________ Title: 2nd Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets-II) Deadline: 18-Jul-2003 Webpage: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/HotNets-II/ Conference: HotNets-II / November 20 and 21, 2003, Cambridge, MA Synopsis: HotNets-II will bring together researchers in the networking and distributed systems community to debate emerging research directions. The goal of the workshop is to promote community-wide discussion of ideas that will influence and foster continued research in the field. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers to present new ideas that have the potential to significantly impact the community in the long term. Each potential participant should submit a short paper describing such an idea; the paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new solution, or debunk existing work. ____________________________________________________________ *NEW THIS MONTH! Title: USENIX/ACM Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation Deadline: 15-Sep-2003 Webpage: http://www.usenix.org/events/nsdi04/ Conference: March 29-31, 2004 Synopsis: NSDI 2004 is a new conference focused on the design principles of large scale distributed and networked systems. We believe systems as diverse as scalable web services, peer-to-peer file sharing, sensor nets, and distributed network measurement share a set of common challenges. Progress in any of these areas requires a deep understanding of how researchers are addressing the challenges of large scale systems in other contexts. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the systems community -- including operating systems, distributed systems, and computer networking -- to foster a cross-disciplinary approach to addressing our common research challenges. ____________________________________________________________ About SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE The SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE mailing list is intended to provide a low-volume channel that provides operating systems researchers and practitioners with information about upcoming events or other important announcements.

While in the early days of research in this area the focus was on the basic mechanisms needed for moving and installing code in the network, research now has shifted towards the real benefits active network technology may provide: Network programmability and service deployment architectures bringing just the right services to the customer at just the right time and location. It is obvious that with the accelerating trend towards mobility, ad-hoc networks, and content-aware distribution, active and programmable networks will play an important role in future network architectures. At IWAN 2003 we aim at bringing together members of the various communities using active and related techniques, and provide a forum for discussion and collaboration, involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover the application of active techniques to all aspects of network based communication, including active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals and active management. In addition, the meeting will have a focus on relating customer needs and customer oriented services to active techniques. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results, however, we will welcome high quality descriptive contributions, where the ideas are particularly novel, or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of other groups. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics: - Architectures & new concepts for active networks, systems, environments - Applications for active networks, systems and environments - Peer-to-peer communication using active network technology - Hardware & software platforms for implementation of active services - Network processor platforms for active networks - Programmable network elements and devices (including PDAs, soft radio) - Security in active networks and systems - Active networks for mobile and ad-hoc networking - Content- and context-aware distribution using active networks - Cognitive networks using active network technology - Service creation, deployment, and management - Design and development methodologies and tools for active services - Implementation of active network infrastructures - Experiences and evaluation results - Standardization of active network frameworks INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS: Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 20 double-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 150 word abstract, and list of keywords. Identify the author responsible for correspondence, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag Heidelberg in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. The best papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of a journal. PROPOSALS FOR TUTORIALS: IWAN 2003 will organize full-day or half-day tutorials covering any aspect of active and programmable networks. Proposals should be sent to the submission addresses and must include an extended abstract (2-4 pages) containing a description of the topic and intended audience, a biography of the speaker(s), and an indication of length (half or full day). POSTER SESSION: Authors may choose to present their on-going work in a poster session. Please look up instructions for submission on the IWAN 2003 website. DEMONSTRATIONS: Facilities will be provided for demonstrating results of work in the topical areas of the conference. Demonstration proposals may be submitted in conjunction with papers, posters, or independently.

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/. Authors are invited to submit full original papers in electronic form (PDF or postscript) to: *Hossam Hassanein* Queen's University Canada Email: hossam(a)cs.queensu.ca <mailto:hossam@cs.queensu.ca> *Hanan Lutfiyya* University of Western Ontario Canada Email: hanan(a)csd.uwo.ca <mailto:hanan@csd.uwo.ca> _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
