Fwd: CFP MMFN 2011 "Mobility Management for Flat Networks"
by Lars Wolf 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP MMFN 2011 "Mobility Management for Flat Networks" Datum: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 11:21:08 +0100 Von: <philippe.bertin(a)orange-ftgroup.com> An: <itc(a)COMSOC.ORG> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies] Call For Papers for MMFN 2011 International Workshop on Mobility Management for Flat Networks 6 October 2011 (date to be confirmed) In conjunction with the 14th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communication www.wpmc2011.org 3-6 October, 2011 Brest, France Technically co-sponsored by IEEE ComSoc, IEEE Section France and SEE See also http://www.wpmc2011.org/Call_for_papers_MMFN_2011-591-0-0-0.html GOALS FOR THE WORKSHOP ---------------------- Cellular networks architectures rely on hierarchical and centralised mobility anchoring functions tracking mobile nodes location and movements while supporting mobile traffic management and indirections. It is now recognized that such approaches lead to scalability issues like the creation of networks bottlenecks in central mobility anchoring functions as well as efficiency issues in cascading several per-user traffic encapsulation/de-capsulation functions. Hence, with the exponential growth in mobile data services usage, scalability and quality of service issues are foreseen even if most of users are not on the move while communicating. Considering the current trend in flattening networks architectures, new means of supporting mobility can be envisaged in a more distributed and dynamic fashion. Such considerations include end-hosts and network schemes. In end-hosts schemes, mobility is provided at end-hosts level only, i.e. without requiring mobility management functions support in the network. Some examples are the use of facility offered by transport (M-TCP, SCTP) or application (SIP, HTTP Streaming) layer protocols in switching IP addresses used for end-to-end communications. In network schemes, new distributed mobility management approaches consider the distribution of anchoring functions among flat networking entities. The main motivation is the elimination of nowadays single point of failures and user traffic bottlenecks. Thus, mobility related working groups in the IETF are now exploring requirements and solutions supporting DMM (Distributed Mobility Management). These new approaches promise the delivery of a better quality of service together with more open networks, well suited to the provision of heterogeneous access and offload solutions. They are also well suited for the integration with both content networking and cloud networking functions at the network edge. However, they may introduce new issues like security or location concerns among others whereas there consideration in the evolution of cellular networks architectures like the EPC one is not yet foreseen in the 3GPP. The goal of this workshop is to provide and further analyse a comprehensive vision in the design and issues for mobility management schemes in flat networks. WORKSHOP THEME -------------- Original papers describing both theoretical and experimental results within the scope of Flat Networks Mobility Management are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Mobility management in flat networks * Distributed and dynamic mobility support * Paging and idle mode management in distributed and dynamic mobility schemes * Fully vs partially distributed mobility architectures * Scalability issues in current hierarchical/centralised mobility schemes * End-host vs Network mobility management * Distributed Mobility Management in LTE/EPC networks * Mobility management at transport or application layers * Data mobile usages analysis and forecast * Security and traceability concerns introduced by distributed mobility schemes * Identification and location management in distributed mobility approaches * Content networking in distributed mobile networks * Cloud networking in distributed mobile networks * Resource management in heterogeneous distributed mobility schemes * Flat and heterogeneous networks topologies * Energy efficiency of distributed mobility schemes PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers in English (maximum 5 pages) electronically in PDF format through the EDAS system. For all submissions, please use the templates available on the WPMC 2011 website (www.wpmc2011.org). IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission deadline: 15 May 2011 Notification of acceptance: 1 July 2011 Camera ready submission: 31 August 2011 Tentative date of the Workshop: 6 October 2011 WORKSHOP ORGANISER ------------------ Philippe Bertin, Orange Labs, France TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE --------------------------- Ramon Aguero, University of Cantabria, Spain Laszlo Bokor, BME, Hungary Jean-Marie Bonnin, Telecom Bretagne, France Anthony Chan, Huawei, US Johanna Heinonen, Nokia Siemens Networks, Finland Philippe Herbelin, Orange Labs, France Dapeng Liu, China Mobile, China Telemaco Melia, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, France Mai-Trang Nguyen, LIP6, France Kostas Pentikousis, Huawei Technologies, Germany Simone Ruffino, Telecom Italia, Italia Peter Schoo, Fraunhofer Institute, Germany Pierrick Seité, Orange Labs, France Hidetoshi Yokota, KDDI lab, Korea ________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the itc list, click the following link: http://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1

INTRODUCTION The physical things and the human society have formed into the world we live in. However, the emergence of information technologies enables a new infrastructure for a technical, economic and social revolution, which have changed the world we are used to. Cyber-physical systems couple the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics that must abide by the laws of physics. Social computing has become more widely known because of proliferation of online social networking in recent years. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing, future social networks will become cyber-physical, combining measured elements of the physical world. The convergence of computational and physical processes as well as human's social behaviors exhibits a variety of complicated characteristics, which leads to a lot of challenges. The 2011 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom'11) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future. CPSCom'11 is the 4th edition of the successful series, previously held as CPSCom'10 (Hangzhou, China, December 2010), CyberSocialCom'09 (Hangzhou, China, November 2009), and CPSC'09 (Brisbane, Australia, July 2009). 2. SCOPE AND INTERESTS Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of cyber, physical, and social computing - Intelligence and semantics in cyber, physical, and social computing - Architecture and infrastructure for cyber, physical, and social computing - Communication and control in cyber, physical, and social computing - Applications and experiences of cyber, physical, and social computing - Cyber-physical systems and society - Modeling, mining, and analysis of social data and social networks - Design of large scale of cyber, physical, and social systems - Tools for analysis, verification, control, and optimization of hybrid systems - Security, privacy, trust, and safety - Ubiquitous sensing, networking, and computing - Cyber, physical, and social computing with mobile phones - Cyber/digital human and network life 3.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: WUWNet'11 - The Sixth ACM International Workshop on UnderWater Networks
by Lars Wolf 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: WUWNet'11 - The Sixth ACM International Workshop on UnderWater Networks Datum: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 18:31:37 -0400 Von: Dario Pompili <pompili(a)cac.rutgers.edu> An: WUWNET-L(a)LISTSERV.UCONN.EDU, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, MOBICOM(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG, mobisys(a)acm.org, mobility(a)ihmc.uwf.edu, manet(a)ietf.org WUWNet'11: The Sixth ACM International Workshop on UnderWater Networks http://wuwnet.org/ December 1-2, 2011 Seattle, WA, USA CALL FOR PAPERS The oceans cover 71% of the Earth's surface and represent one of the least explored frontiers; yet, the oceans are integral to climate regulation, nutrient production, oil retrieval, and transportation. Also, water systems in general are of vital importance to life on Earth and commerce. For these reasons, there is significant interest in monitoring aquatic environments for scientific, environmental, commercial, safety, and military purposes. WUWNet is the premier venue for early work bringing real-time, in-situ sensing and actuation to this aquatic world. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas relevant to underwater networks. Thus, many layers of the communication stack - from the physical layer to the application layer - will be represented. The objective is to serve as a forum for presenting state-of-the-art research, for exchanging ideas and experiences, and for facilitating interaction and collaboration. The workshop will span two days, including presentations of technical papers, a keynote talk, a panel, and a poster/demo session. The scope of the WUWNet workshop covers a broad range of research directions related to underwater systems including communications, networking, system integration, and vehicle coordination. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Underwater network architectures - Efficient underwater communications, with techniques from the physical layer to the application layer - Cooperative underwater communications, including, PHY, MAC, routing, and data transfer - Services for underwater systems, such as localization, time synchronization, reliable data transfer, security - Subsea communication for underwater vehicles (gliders, submersibles, etc.) - Coordination algorithms for underwater vehicles and sensor nodes, or human operator interaction - Modeling, simulation, and testbeds for underwater systems - Applications that broadly address subsea networks, including coordinated vehicle systems - Experimental results from underwater networking trials - Application requirements for underwater networks presented by end users SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions for technical papers must describe original research, not published or currently under review for other workshops, conferences, journals, or magazines. All papers will be reviewed by the program committee for novelty and contribution. The workshop accepts two types of papers: full and short. Short papers may represent less mature work than full papers, or may contain new ideas for future research. Full papers should be more complete in their treatment of the topic. All accepted papers, full and short, will be published in the workshop proceedings. Paper submission will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their papers. The page limit for full papers is 8 pages, and that for short papers is 5 pages in standard ACM conference format. Please see the workshop website for definitive formatting guidelines and sample templates. Furthermore, this year WUWNet will also have a "Demo/Doctoral Symposium," which will provide a forum for both graduate and undergraduate students working on research topics relevant to WUWNet to discuss their goals, methods, and results at an early stage in their research. A 2-page extended abstract (in standard ACM conference format, with the student as first author) must be submitted by the deadline provided below. Last, but not least, a call for work-in-progress posters and demos will be announced separately. IMPORTANT DATES Paper registration: August 12, 2011 Paper submission: August 19, 2011 Acceptance notification: October 14, 2011 Camera-ready date: November 4, 2011 Workshop date: December 1-2, 2011 Demo/Doctoral Symposium extended abstract submission: September 30, 2011 Demo/Doctoral Symposium acceptance notification: October 14, 2011 Student travel grant submission: October 21, 2011 Student travel grant notification: October 28, 2011 ORGANIZERS General Chairs: Payman Arabshahi (Univ. of Washington) Jun-Hong Cui (Univ. of Connecticut) Program Committee Chairs: Qilian Liang (UT Arlington) Dario Pompili (Rutgers Univ.)
