-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] "Last" reminder: IEEE J-SAC CFP: issue on "QUALITY OF SERVICE IN VARIABLE TOPOLOGY NETWORKS" Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2003 12:45:10 +0100 From: Nicola Blefari Melazzi <blefari(a)uniroma2.it> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: Jean-Yves Le Boudec <jean-yves.leboudec(a)epfl.ch>, Bo Li <bli(a)cs.ust.hk>, John Daigle <wcdaigle(a)cotton.vislab.olemiss.edu>, Kenneth Brayer <kb(a)mitre.org> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. _http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/variable_topology_qos.html _*CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications QUALITY OF SERVICE IN VARIABLE TOPOLOGY NETWORKS * About 25 years ago the first routing protocols that have become known as Variable Topology Routing Protocols that were not simply random routing or flooding appeared. Their objective is to maintain and continue the delivery of message traffic in a network where the topology of the network (the router connections) is variable. In recent years this has become an area of great interest with sessions at ICC, Infocom, Globecom, and Milcom, as well as papers in both IEEE and ACM Journals. There is also an Internet Engineering Task Force group studying a subset called Ad Hoc routing, which is based upon a common broadcast channel, an outgrowth of packet radio, and an active worldwide researcher mail-list. There are literally tens of new protocols proposed every quarter. There are, however, limited numbers of papers describing performance of such protocols and fewer still describing comparative performance with meaningful statistical analysis of operation (steady-state and learning modes). As such a reader/user/organization wishing to employ such a protocol has little to go on in making a selection choice. Furthermore, many methods seek only to deliver traffic but do not consider timeliness, priorities, and other features that users might desire. Likewise quality of service is also a subject of great interest in conferences and journals as users want predictable performance. Here again there are many ideas and little to go on in terms of performance, methods of evaluation, or standards, which would allow a user to select an approach that maximizes his capacity or performance or gives guarantees of delivery performance. It is the objective of this issue to publish papers presenting methodology, performance, comparative performance, and methods for providing/increasing user capacity and performance in variable topology networks, and quality of service alternatives, which will allow potential users to gain the necessary information to make real world implementation comparisons and choices. This performance can be shown by analysis, simulation or implementation with preference being given to papers providing comparisons of alternatives. Our goal is that there be one source for current information to aid users in the decision making process. New methodologies will be considered if they are in papers that also compare their performance to other well-known approaches and demonstrate improved value. Papers that show other methods including architectural, reconfigurable, and topological approaches and MAC features to increase user capacity and performance are also desired. But again, these papers must show comparative advances in performance. Call for Papers Topics of keen interest today in networking technology include methods of delivering services over variable topology networks, such as variable point-to-point and Ad Hoc networks, in which the user is mobile and inter-router connections are time varying. We seek here to gather a body of work that reports the state of the art and practice in assessment of the quality of service (QoS) that can be delivered over such networks. We specifically seek contributions that will be of value to system architects in selecting collections of technologies and methodologies that meet their needs and establish standards for user responsive system performance. We are especially seeking contributions that report QoS delivery in clearly defined network settings under clearly defined metrics for a specific service or collection of services. Such contributions might focus specifically on comparing alternative technological or methodological approaches to delivering services with quality guarantee, such as bi-directional versus unidirectional connectivity, source-based versus dynamic routing, proactive versus reactive organization, transmission control at the transport layer versus the MAC layer, retransmission versus forward error correction and the relation of these to timeliness and priority. Variable topology peer-to-peer and Ad Hoc constructions in both flat and hierarchical environments are of interest. Alternatively, a contribution might focus on the performance that can be achieved using a single technological and methodological approach, but varying key factors of interest, such as the number of end systems, end-system density, or the delivery physical environment. Throughout, the central theme should be service delivery, and the metrics used should enable potential users to clearly see patterns of performance in one or more of the following dimensions: cost, complexity, timely delivery, traffic handling capacity, or the number of end systems the system can handle. Methods for achieving quality of service under conditions of varying topology, and new concepts for providing quality of service are likewise of interest. In this context, the topics for this issue include: Subjects of Interest · *Variable Point-to-Point and Ad Hoc Routing *· o New methodologies · o Bi-directional vs. unidirectional connectivity · o Source based vs. dynamic routing · o Unicast vs. multicast, content-based routing · *Variable Topology Network Architectures and Reconfiguration Techniques *· o Flat vs. hierarchical organizations · o Proactive vs. reactive reconfiguration · o MAC vs. upper layer implementations · o Self-configurations · o Distributed algorithms (group and resource management) · *Quality of Service (QoS) Delivery *· o Methodologies for timely message delivery · o Providing predictable performance · o Error coding for achieving Quality of Service · o Methods of measuring QoS in operational networks · *Performance Analysis *· o Comparative study (analysis, simulation, emulation and/or implementation) · o New analytical approaches · o Definition of performance metrics · o Optimizing the system performance (capacity, response time, throughput, etc.) · *Testbed and Applications *· o Testbed descriptions and objectives · o Experimental results based on testbeds · o Unique applications of testbeds · *Standards *· o Definition of common and desirable features of standards · o Matching current and emerging standards to applications · o Applications requirements versus features provided by standards Original, unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The call for papers is for extended abstracts that propose development of papers to meet the goals of the issue. The proposal shall comprehensively describe the area of the paper relative to the areas of interest of the call. These extended abstracts will be reviewed and the editors will invite final papers, which will be refereed.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] CFP: IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM 2004) Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 10:04:18 -0500 From: Hui Lei <hlei(a)us.ibm.com> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: tccc(a)computer.org, tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org Call for Papers MDM 2004 2004 IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management January 19-22, 2004 Berkeley, CA, USA http://www.cs.duke.edu/mdm2004/ Submission deadline June 10, 2003 Notification of acceptance September 10, 2003 Camera ready due October 24, 2003 We are rapidly heading towards a world in which the computing infrastructure will contain billions of devices, which will interact with other computing/communications devices that are carried or worn by users as they go through their daily routines. 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 mobile environments 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. Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically through the conference Web site at http://www.cs.duke.edu/mdm2004/ on or before June 10, 2003. PDF format is preferred but postscript format is acceptable. Conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. We also solicit proposals for panels and tutorials.
