The convergence of the telecom, datacom and mobile world has created a multi-service, multi-platform network of the new world: namely mobile wireless Internet. User mobility has created a new dimension in many research areas, including inter network and inter service roaming, mobility management, Quality of Service (QoS), resource management, network architecture and protocols, mobile multimedia applications and services, etc. New wireless network architectures are being proposed to cope with diverse applications, levels of mobility, and traffic types. Advanced mobility management techniques will support seamless IP connection across different networks, and provide end-to-end QoS support. A QoS-enabled multi-service-based high-speed backbone network is required to carry large amounts of packet-switched data for both wireline and wireless access. This issue of J-SAC will be devoted to the advanced architectures, protocols, and applications for wireless mobile Internet, in particular, mobility management, QoS provisioning and the interaction between the two. We seek original, previously unpublished, and completed contributions, not currently under review by another journal. Contributions emphasizing recent advances and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Network architectures and protocols for wireless Internet * Integration and internetworking of wired and wireless networks * Inter network and inter service roaming solutions * Interoperability in multi-provider access networks * Inter/intra domain QoS protocols and mechanisms * Mobility management, in particular, QoS-aware mobility management * Related standards (3GPP, MWIF, 3G.IP, ETSI, IETF, ...) * Multimedia applications and services for different networks and user terminals * System architecture, protocol stack and reference model Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts in accordance to the IEEE J-SAC format described in the Information for Authors and submit four copies of their manuscript to one of the guest editors. Papers may also be submitted electronically as .pdf files via e-mail.

The phenomenal growth of those mobile computing devices, together with current trends in embedded systems and software, real-time interaction and omnipresent wireless networking fertilises the formation of a Ubiquitous Computing landscape, in which digital environments are aware of the presence of users, sensitive, adaptive and responsive to the users needs, habits and emotions and ubiquitously accessible for the user via natural interaction. This topic solicits papers dealing with the following mobile and ubiquitous computing elements: mobility, ubiquity, awareness, intelligence, and natural interaction. Mobility addresses solutions that help to make time, geographic, media and service boundaries less and less important. Ubiquity refers to a situation in which we are surrounded by a multitude of interconnected embedded systems, which are (mostly) invisible and moved into the background of our surrounding (workplace, building, home, outdoor). Awareness refers to the ability of the system to recognise and localise objects as well as people and their intentions. Intelligence refers to the fact that the digital surrounding is able to adapt itself to the people that live in it, learn from their behaviour, and possibly recognise as well as show emotion. Natural interaction finally refers to advanced modalities like natural speech- and gesture recognition, as well as speech- synthesis, which will allow a much more human-like communication with the digital environment than is possible today. The aim of the topic is to bring together, at Euro-Par 2003, computer scientists an engineers in the areas of wireless networking, mobile computing, and ubiquitous computing in order to present and share their ideas about the design and analysis of ubiquitous computing environments and the challenges imposed by the applications of mobile and ubiquitous computing. * Focus Mobile/wireless computing infrastructure Communication in mobile networks Mobility and QoS management Ad-hoc and personal area networks Media access techniques and terminals Ubiquitous/pervasive computing software architectures Ubiquitous access and context computing Smart devices and smart spaces Intelligent environments Sensors and actuators Positioning/tracking/authentication systems and technologies Mobile/ubiquitous/wearable computing scenarios Location-dependent/personalized wireless applications User interfaces and interaction models * Chairs Global Chair Prof. Max Mühlhäuser FG Telekooperation TU Darmstadt, Germany Email: max(a)informatik.tu-darmstadt.de Vice Chairs Prof. Azzedine Boukerche Department of Computer Sciences University of North Texas, USA Email: boukerche(a)cs.unt.edu Karin Anna Hummel Institute for Computer Science and Business Informatics University of Vienna, Austria Email: karin.hummel(a)univie.ac.at Local Chair Prof. Alois Ferscha Institute for Practical Computer Science, Software Group Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria Email: ferscha(a)soft.uni-linz.ac.at * Euro-Par Mission and Details Euro-Par is well established as the premier annual European conference on all aspects of parallel and distributed computing.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Economics of P2P Systems Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 10:13:29 -0800 From: John Chuang <chuang(a)sims.berkeley.edu> Organization: SIMS, UC Berkeley To: undisclosed-recipients:;;;:@cs.columbia.edu;; Please accept my apology if you receive multiple copies of this message. John -- Workshop on Economics of Peer-to-Peer Systems Berkeley, California June 5-6 2003 http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/p2pecon >From file-sharing to … [View More]distributed computation, from application layer overlays to mobile ad hoc networking, the ultimate success of a peer-to-peer system rests on the twin pillars of scalable and robust system design and alignment of economic interests among the participating peers. The Workshop on Economics of Peer-to-Peer Systems will bring together for the first time researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the economic characteristics of P2P systems, application of economic theories to P2P system design, and future directions and challenges in this area. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - incentives and disincentives for cooperation - distributed algorithmic mechanism design - reputation and trust - reliability, identity, and attack resistance - network externalities and scale economies - public goods and club formation - accounting and settlement mechanisms - payment and currency systems - user behavior and system performance - measurement studies - leveraging heterogeneity without compromising anonymity - economic impact to network providers - interconnection of P2P networks The program of the workshop will be a combination of invited talks, paper presentations, and discussion. Workshop attendance will be limited to ensure a productive environment. Each potential participant should submit a position paper that expresses a novel or interesting problem, offers a specific solution, reports on actual experience, or advances a research agenda. Participants will be invited based on the originality, technical merit and topical relevance of their submissions, as well as the likelihood that the ideas expressed in their submissions will lead to insightful discussions at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published on the workshop website. Submission guidelines: Submissions of position papers are due March 27, 2003, and should not exceed 5 pages. Two column papers are acceptable, but the font size should be no smaller than 11pt. Papers must be submitted electronically in postscript or PDF format to <p2pecon(a)sims.berkeley.edu>. Important Dates : Submission due: March 27 Notification of acceptance: April 25 Revised version due: May 22 Workshop: June 5-6 Program Committee: John Chuang, UC Berkeley (chair) Roger Dingledine, The Free Haven Project Ian Foster, University of Chicago and Argonne National Lab Bernardo Huberman, HP Labs Ramayya Krishnan, CMU (co-chair) H.T.
