-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Network Models, Methods, Tools (MoMeTools), Karlsruhe Germany, Aug. 2003 Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2003 16:03:49 -0500 From: SIGCOMM 2003 <jpgs(a)acm.org> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu WORKSHOP ON MODELS, METHODS AND TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE NETWORK RESEARCH (MoMeTools) http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools Workshop in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2003 Karlsruhe, Germany 25 August 2003 ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics, network research appears significantly less mature concerning methodology. Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated. While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emulation, testbed experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or adjustment between results obtained by different methods. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for network research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: o Reproducibility of experimental network research o Investigation of scaling effects o Common code basis for simulation and implementation o Mathematical methods for error assessment o Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes o Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments o Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations o Benchmarking and measurement techniques o Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of tools o Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop will be published. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT The workshop solicits the following types of submissions: o Full papers. o Position papers on potentially controversial or provocative topics. o Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical session consisting of short presentations combined with live demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to submit an online video clip in addition to a papers. Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are also highly welcome. Submissions should be in PDF or Postscript form, not anonymized, but following the formatting guidelines for ACM SIGCOMM papers. See http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools for full submission requirements in the near future. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de .

After the enormous success of last year's edition (http://www.hurray.isep.ipp.pt/rtlia2002/), we are proud to announce the 2nd International Workshop on Real-Time LANs in the Internet Age (RTLIA03). One of the main technological challenges today is on developing communication infrastructures that are real-time, reliable, pervasive, interoperable and capable of accommodating the requirements imposed by new applications and services. There are several research directions. For instance, Networked Embedded Systems pose a number of new challenging issues in terms of real-time, robustness, flexibility and dependability. The rapid development of new work methods and collaborative work environments has also determined an increasing request for interoperable mobile, wireless technologies and the convergence of fixed and mobile communication infrastructures. Future computer systems will be intimately tied to real-time computing and to communication technologies. Ubiquitous computing networks combining sensors and actuators with computing and communication systems will be used to mitigate the impact of a given disaster on people and their environments. These networks will support the exchange of sensitive real-time information to be used for intelligent assistance to decision-making, rapid planning, resource allocation, incident command response, first-aid. In Factory Communication Systems, existing solutions will be improved in order to comply with the need of providing not only real-time guarantees to control traffic but also adequate bandwidth to multimedia traffic in a flexible way. New frontiers for real-time Ethernet, in terms of both technological challenges and application areas (e.g. mission critical systems), are going to be investigated. The goal of this workshop is to bring together people from industry and academia that are interested in all aspects of using commodity LAN technologies to support real-time and dependable applications in the Internet Era. The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in this area. The workshop will be based on short presentations that should encourage discussion by the attendees. Prospective authors are encouraged to address real-time, QoS and dependability issues of the following topics: - LAN Technologies: industrial Ethernet, fieldbus networks, Myrinet, etc. - Control methods for communication over LAN networks - Wireless sensor networks - IPV6 networking - Wired or wireless communication in intelligent buildings - Ubiquitous computing for disaster response, mitigation and recovery - Interoperability between LANs and PANs and between LANs and WANs - Interoperability between hybrid wired/wireless networks - Communication Technologies for e-Activities: e-health, e- monitoring.etc. - Support of IP-based applications - Multimedia communication - Networked embedded systems - Evaluation and case studies - Tools - Industry experience reports Statements which are innovative, controversial or that present new approaches are specially sought. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: People who would like to participate in this event are asked to submit a pdf or postscript version of a 2 page extended abstract to the workshop chairperson (Lucia.LoBello(a)diit.unict.it). The papers will be reviewed by an internal committee. Upon acceptance, a final paper of maximum 4 pages should be then be prepared and submitted. All papers will be made available to all participants a week before the workshop so that contributions can be examined prior to the workshop. The workshop sessions will involve 5-10 minute presentations followed by a 20-25 minute discussion.

by Lars Wolf 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Symposium on Wireless, Vehicular and Mobile Commerce (IEEE VTC) Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 10:55:19 -0500 (EST) From: Upkar Varshney <uvarshne(a)cis.gsu.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: uvarshney(a)gsu.edu Call for Papers: Deadline March 10, 2003 Wireless, Vehicular and Mobile Commerce: A Symposium at IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (www.vtc2003.org) October 4-9, 2003 Orlando, FL, USA Motivation and Scope With the emergence and wide spread adoption of wireless and mobile networks, devices, and middleware, mobile commerce applications are beginning to receive some interest in research and development community. According to estimates by Gartner Group, in 2004, at least 40% of consumer-to-business e-commerce will be initiated from smart phones. A study from the Wireless Data and Computing Service, a division of Strategy Analytics, reports that the worldwide mobile commerce market may rise to $200 Billion by 2004. The report predicts that transactions via wireless devices will generate about $14 Billion a year. In many European countries and Japan with significant wireless penetration, the mobile commerce market is already taking off and reaching billions of dollars a year. It is to be noted that mobile commerce may require significantly different approaches in design, development, and implementation of applications due to the inherent characteristics of wireless networks and mobile devices. Many interesting and important challenges include design and development of mobile commerce applications, networking requirements, transactions and security issues, business models and strategies. Mobile commerce will also significantly benefit from research in mobile devices, mobile middleware, and wireless network infrastructure. Vehicular technologies and intelligent transportation systems are likely to play a very important role in this emerging area of commerce. The symposium will bring together experts in this field and address significant challenges in mobile commerce from both technology and business application point of views. The symposium will cover several topics including * New m-commerce applications including mobile advertising, mobile financial applications, mobile inventory, proactive service management, wireless re-engineering among others * Requirements of m-commerce applications * Development of mobile commerce applications (new constraints, approaches, interoperability, processing and storage, desirable features) * Vehicular commerce * Use of vehicular technologies in m-commerce * Vehicle to vehicle commerce * Intelligent transportation systems and m-commerce * Emerging vehicular technologies for m-commerce * Infrastructure support from wireless networks (location management, wireless dependability, coverage, roaming, inter-working etc) * Location management support for mobile commerce (indoor vs outdoor, precision, performance and transaction requirements, multiple location technologies) * Location and context awareness * User and location specific service discovery * Devices, middleware, and operating systems support * Security and transactions in mobile commerce (mobile commerce transactions over wireless networks, new and current security paradigms for m-commerce) * Business issues and models for mobile commerce (pricing and new ways of charging, revenue generation and division among carriers and operators * Other emerging and related issues to m-commerce applications and technologies We are currently in the process of negotiating with a journal for a special issue on m-commerce. Some of the best papers from this symposium are likely to be included in the proposed issue.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:15:38 -0500 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.
