[InternetTC] 2nd CFP: IEEE Network Special Issue on Improving Quality of Experience for Network Services
by Jahan Hassan 25 May '09

25 May '09

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Network Special Issue on Improving Quality of Experience for Network Services Manuscript Submission Deadline: 31 July 2009. CFP in PDF: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/cfp/CFP_SI_v4.pdf In pursuit of new revenue opportunities and to improve competitiveness, network service providers are offering new value- added network services, such as VoIP, video on demand, IPTV, and so on. With the increased competition, improving the quality of the offered services as perceived by the users, commonly referred to as the quality of experience (QoE), becomes very important to providers in order to reduce customer churn and maintain and increase their competitive edge. There are many issues that may impact users perception in many different ways. For example, government regulation on viewing IPTV may impact QoE in a way that may be difficult to measure with traditional tools and techniques. Similarly, the pricing strategy selected will likely to impact the QoE irrespective of the technical performance of the underlying network. Developing tools and techniques for accurately measuring, monitoring, and improving QoE in complex end-to-end networking infrastructure has become the focus of many industry R&D initiatives. QoE standardization is actively pursued by International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and industry consortia. At the same time, despite the considerable foundational progress already made, engineering QoE for existing and future network- based services remains a challenging research topic, hence, attracting significant interest from academia as well. This timely special issue will bring together researchers from industry, academia and standard bodies to present and analyze this challenging and important area of improving QoE for existing and future network services. We are soliciting original research and survey articles written in a tutorial style comprehensible to all readers of the magazine regardless of their speciality. Submissions will go through an open call-for- papers and will undergo rigorous peer review process. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: * QoE measuring, monitoring and performance improvement strategies for network services (e.g., IPTV, VoIP, VoD, Internet) * Modeling of user satisfaction and tolerance to quality degradation * Test-bed studies of QoE for networked applications * Impact of user mobility on QoE * Impact of radio and network resource utilization and management on QoE * Impact of billing and pricing on QoE * Impact of regulatory issues on QoE * Measurement and optimization of end-to-end QoE Prospective authors must prepare their original submissions in accordance with the IEEE Network guidelines to authors, see http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html . Authors should submit their single column, double-spaced manuscript electronically in PDF format by email to the corresponding guest editor (with cc to all the other guest editors) according to the following timetable (authors are encouraged to notify at least 15 days before deadline, their intention to submit a paper indicating title, authors and keywords): * Paper Submission Deadline: 31 July 2009 * Acceptance notification to authors: 01 November 2009 * Final Manuscripts due: 01 January 2010 * Publication of Special Issue: First half of 2010 Guest Editors: Dr. Jahan A.

24 May '09

CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless Personal Communications: An International Journal (Springer) Special issue on: Adaptive Communication in Wireless Networks Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The last few years have experienced a steep growth in research on wireless networks having attractive claims. Researchers are currently envisioning different attractive properties of wireless systems such as the ability to self-organize, self-configure, self-heal, self-manage and self-maintain. These systems are increasingly becoming dynamic and they are expected to perform many tasks autonomously by adapting to the dynamics of the networks. With the wide range of applications that need to be supported in these systems, there exists increasing expectations about what the current and the future generation networks can do. Many of these requirements are pivoted in the ability of the networks to adapt to the network dynamism. Adaptation to changing environments, in turn, often leads to increased performance of the networks. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers relating to different aspects of adaptive communication in wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, all aspects of adaptive communication in: • Broadband wireless access networks • Wireless Internet • Software defined radio • Bluetooth technology • Ultra-wide band radio • Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks • Wireless Mesh Networks • IEEE 802.11/802.20/802.22 • Emerging wireless network security issues • Wireless telemedicine and e-health • Emerging issues in 3G and 4G wireless networks • Emerging wireless network architecture • Multimedia over emerging wireless networks • Underwater sensor Networks • Supplying power to the distributed wireless sensors • Cognitive Radio Systems • Cooperative wireless communications • Multi-hop relay wireless communications Good quality survey/tutorial-type articles (but NOT purely a literature review) are also of interest to this Special Issue.

[Tccc] Meeting of the VDE/ITG-Professional group
by Christian Philipp 22 May '09

22 May '09

The professional group of ITG 5.2.4 "Mobility in IP-based networks" organizes in Klagenfurt on June 29th (open worshop) and 30th 2009, in cooperation with the Institute for Networked and Embedded Systems (NES) from Klagenfurt University and Lakeside Labs GmbH a one day workshop on the topic: Cooperation and Self-Organization in Communication Networks The workshop will take place at Lakeside Labs GmbH (Klagenfurt, Austria) on June 29th, 2009. We solicit - Technical overview presentations - Project presentations - Presentations of results of ongoing research - Visionary (possibly provocative) presentations Today’s communication networks are becoming more and more large in scale, which results in increased complexity for their engineering, operation, and maintenance. To this end, the concepts of cooperative communications and self-organizing systems have recently attracted considerable attention. In cooperative communications, different nodes in a network share resources to establish collaboration through distributed transmission/processing. They assist each other to improve overall network performance and achieve better utilization of space- time resources without the need for a centralized authority. Self-organizing systems represent a paradigm shift, where the global service of a system emerges from the local interactions of a large number of autonomous components that act based on simple rules. In comparison to traditional, often centralized architectures, self- organizing systems are often advantageous regarding robustness, scalability, and adaptability. The integration of self-organizing and cooperation concepts into communication networks promises new approaches to solve problems of network complexity, spontaneous communications, and scalability, to mention a few. The objective of this workshop is to create a forum to exchange ideas and share experiences in these fields among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: • Biologically-inspired and evolutionary approaches for communications and networking • Management and control of self-organizing networked systems • Theory of cooperation and self-organization • Cooperation and self-organizing at the user/social and application level • Cooperative relaying in wireless systems • Cross layer cooperation and optimization • Network coding, as a form of cooperative communications • Robustness, dependability, and security issues • Resource utilization and coverage extension via cooperation • Use cases for self-organization and standardization activites in 3GPP, NGMN or ETSI • Practical experiences, testbeds or prototypes Please inform the workshop organisers about your planned contribution by April 30th, 2009. The workshop places are limited and assigned on a first come first serve basis. Participants should register by email by June 14th, 2009.

[Tccc] CFP: U-NET (User-provided networking) workshop, co-located with CoNext'09
by Paulo Mendes 21 May '09

21 May '09

(Appologies if you get this twice) ACM U-NET'09 — User-provided Networking: Challenges and Opportunities Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/unet/ Submission Deadline: July 17, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/N7753 *Motivation* This workshop is dedicated to the debate of concepts, challenges, and opportunities concerning user-provided networking, i.e., scenarios where users cooperate by sharing wireless resources as well as Internet services. To provide a specific example that relates to Internet access (connectivity), the end-user (or a community of end-users) is a micro-operator in the sense that he/she shares his/her subscribed broadband Internet access based on some form of incentive scheme. In addition, the end-user may or may not provide other network functionality such as local mobility management, or persistent storage and forwarding services. This new role is disruptive in what concerns Internet service models, since there is no distinction between what is today known as end-user device and network device: in the future, end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network. In contrast, the Internet has been up to now mostly the means for end-users to obtain some form of network service, originally related to connectivity, person-to-person communication, or information retrieval. Such user-centric provider role is also disruptive given that the regular network boundaries of trust have to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior: there is the need to form networks of trust in order to accommodate a robust network growth, given that the key to such growth is the willingness to cooperate. Another disruptive aspect of user-provided networking is that due to the nature of the wireless media and the way that humans move, support for intermittent connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. Finally, and given that user-provided networking spreads dynamically having as network elements regular end-user devices, there is the need to consider cases where information is opportunistically relayed instead of routed based on topological information. Due to the disruptive aspects mentioned, user-provided networking seem to have the potential to provide a paradigm shift in Internet communication models, given that such novel functionality allow wireless networks to operate in a completely autonomic way and also given that the end-user becomes a provider of Internet services (e.g. connectivity) based upon cooperation incentives or rewards and based upon his/her own mobility and social patterns. Services are established on the fly, and do not necessarily imply the use of multihop technology or routing. For instance, connectivity may be, in most cases, simply relayed. The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers and a discussion panel with guests from industry and academia. We envision U-NET as a forum aiming to ignite a debate concerning technical challenges and impact (negatively or positively) that user-provided networking may have on Internet communication models. *Topics* U-NET'09 solicits high quality technical contributions within the context of user-provided networking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Challenges and opportunities for access providers. * Impact on Internet architectures. * Internet connectivity. * Trust models, incentives to share broadband access. * Human behaviour and mobility patterns. * Self-organization. * Wireless cooperation. Papers submitted are expected to be highly innovative and may incorporate early stage ideas; position papers (clearly identified as such) pointing to new directions and capable of generating discussion are also welcome. Submission must be original and not already published in any other conference proceeding or journal. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. *Submissions* Submitted papers must be at most 6 (six) pages long (including figures, tables and references) in the standard ACM double column format. All text must use font sizes of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submissions will b e done via EDAS at http://edas.info/N7753. *Important Dates* Submissions due: July 17, 2009 Notification of acceptance: September 4, 2009 Camera ready version due: October 1, 2009 Workshop date: December 1, 2009 *Program Committee* PC Chairs Paulo Mendes, INESC Porto, Portugal Olivier Marcé, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, France Technical Program Committee Rute Sofia, INESC Porto, Portugal André Zúquete, University of Aveiro, Portugal Vassilis Kostakos, University of Madeira, Portugal Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Dirk Trossen, British Telecom Innovate, United Kingdom Prosper Chemouli, France Telecom, France Martin May, Thomson Paris Research Laboratory, France Karen Sollins, MIT, USA Lixia Zhang, UCLA, USA James Kempf, Ericsson Research, USA Dipankar Raychaudhuri, Rutgders University, USA Bernhard Plattner, ETH, Switzerland George Polyzos, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Maria Papadopouli, FORTH/University of Creete, Greece Anand Prasand, NEC, Japan Gunnar Karlsson, KTH, Sweden Yevgeni Koucheryavy, Tampere University of Technology, Finland Marcus Brunner, NEC, Germany Petri Mähönen, RWTH Aachen University, Germany -- ----------------------------------------------------- Paulo Mendes, Ph.D Area Leader, Internet Architectures and Networking Telecommunication and Multimedia Unit INESC Porto Tel. +351 22 209 4264 Fax. +351 22 209 4050 http://ian.inescporto.pt _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

9th IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Local Networks 2009 http://www.wln09.prism.uvsq.fr/ held in conjunction with The 34th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) 20-23 October, 2009, Zurich, Switzerland "Global Sustainability through Local Functionalities" || Scope || Wireless Local Networks (WLNs) play a major role in today’s world. From providing rich connectivity to realizing sensory and actuary applications, WLNs serve a wide range of applications. In its 9th year, the WLN workshop would like to focus on how such networks can be made to be energy efficient and cost effective, while maintaining high levels of service delivery quality. It is hence our aim to focus on both design and implementation aspects in networks that are sustainable, or that can be utilized to in making sustainable system. At the same time, we will maintain our open call in topics relevant to WLNs. With this spirit, we are soliciting works describing both theoretical and practical research endeavors. We also encourage visionary and experimental descriptions. Short reports on work- in-progress and demos will also be accommodated. || Topics || The following is a non-exclusive list of topics of interest: * Design and deployment guidelines. * Implementation and testbed issues. * Network management architectures. * Protocol design, including cross-layer and opportunistic approaches. * Wireless multihop networks, including mesh, ad hoc and sensor networks. * Wireless relay, including fixed and mobile elements. * Integration and coexistence issues. * Mobility management in both homogeneous and heterogeneous settings. * Resource management functionalities (CAC, reservation, scheduling, etc.) * Cognitive radios and dynamic spectrum networks. * Performance evaluation, including analytical, simulation and testbed approaches. || Important Dates || Submission registration May 12th, 2009 Submission deadline May 19th, 2009 Notification of acceptance July 7th, 2009 Camera-ready copy due July 28th, 2009 Registration Deadline July 28th, 2009 || Submission Guideliness || We seek original contributions that are have neither been previously published or currently under review. Authors can submit in either of the following categories: * Paper submissions. (up to 8 pages) Should describe complete works in a self-contained manner with the intent to give an oral presentation. * Poster submissions. (up to 2 pages) Reports on high-value recent results or work-in-progress with the intent to provide a poster presentation. * Proposal for demonstration. (up to 3 pages) Showcases practical and experimental implementations intended for industrial or commercial development in the workshop’s general scope. All accepted submissions will be published in the LCN’09 proceedings and the ieeeXplore portal. All LCN demonstrations will be held in a joint session.
