26 May '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] Wireless for The Future Internet - Computer Metworks Journal Datum: Fri, 22 May 2009 12:59:00 +0200 Von: Luciano Lenzini <l.lenzini(a)iet.unipi.it> Antwort an: l.lenzini(a)iet.unipi.it Organisation: DII An: <mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br> [we apologize if multiple copies are received] CALL FOR PAPERS COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE ON WIRELESS FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET The Internet has grown from being a network linking universities and research institutions to an infrastructure that supports the economy and society in general. But the Internet, as originally designed, may not have the capabilities to support the sheer number of new usage patterns and requirements. Around one billion people currently use the Internet and they will soon be joined by several billion mobile online devices. There will also be a shift from developed to developing countries. A fully pervasive anytime/anywhere and secure wireless Internet infrastructure will support and drive this trend. Therefore, the so called Future Internet (FI) needs to be able to match this growing demand and this will entail more than merely patching or upgrading the underlying network and service infrastructure. A profound change is required, leading to a range of technical, financial, society and governance challenges. There appears to be a common understanding that the FI will be at the heart of the future networked society. However, there is no agreed definition as to what a FI should cover in terms of research and non research topics. As well as being an Internet of Networks, FI is perceived of as being an Internet of Services and an Internet of Things that will integrate common objects into our lives. It is also regarding as being an Internet of Contents & Knowledge and an Internet of People. Developing the FI involves huge challenges regarding usability, reliability, mobility, scalability, interoperability, user acceptability, and trust and confidence. In addition, Internet governance, intellectual property, and education i.e. non-technical aspects - also need to be addressed. Early research work on FI focussed above all on networking issues, and on the need to support a range of innovative applications with enhanced management capabilities and a great capacity to deal with increased security issues. Alongside this, the FI is being driven by a vast set of new application requirements. This means that the FI should be approached in a holistic manner, beyond simply a "network" perspective. This special issue aims to intercept the strategies and trends related to the wireless segment of the development of the FI and to present new ideas and concepts in this area. These trends have a significant impact on the underlying network and service technologies and consequently drive research and technology requirements towards a Future Internet, hence continuing to shape future actions at a world level in a domain that has now become global. Original papers are called for on advanced research topics including, but not restricted to: - Delay Tolerant and Opportunistic Networks - Wireless Enabled Context Awareness in Networks - Network Coding as an Alternative to TCP and as Part of Network Protocols or Crosslayer Design - Support for Cognitive Radio Technology - Neighborhood and Local Resource Discovery - Cross-Layer Protocol Support - Wireless Body Area Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks - Spontaneous Information Exchange Among Mobile Devices - Infrastructure Free Communications and Self-organization - Greening of the Wireless Access - Wireless Based P2P Networks - Socio-economic and Legal Aspects of Wireless Based Services - Wireless of Future Internet Experimental Test-beds Note that the above topics should be developed in terms of a Future Internet perspective and not as isolated topics. Authors should follow the Computer Networks (Elsevier) manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet. IMPORTANT DATES To speed up the review process, authors are requested to submit a one-page abstract which should clearly identify the key contribution of the work that will be presented in the full paper. The abstract should succinctly describe the particular problem being addressed, and how it will impact on the Future Internet. The Guest Editors will select the most interesting and thought-provoking papers. Abstract Submission Deadline: 1 July, 2009 Abstract Acceptance Notification: 10 July, 2009 Submission Deadline for the full paper: 15 September, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: 30 November, 2009 Submission of Revised Version: 30 January, 2010 Publication of the Special Issue: Second Half 2010 The one page abstract, in pdf format, should be sent as attachment in a message addressed to wffi(a)iet.unipi.it.

Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * LOCAN 2009 * * * * The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication * * and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks * * http://libra.inf.um.es/~pedrom/locan2009 * * * * In conjunction with the 6th IEEE International Conference on * * Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems, MASS 2009 * * http://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/mass09 * * Macau SAR, P.R.C., October 5 - 9, 2009 * * * * Paper submission deadline: May 29, 2009 * *********************************************************************** Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ 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: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MASS main proceedings and will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

(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.
