[Fwd: [Tccc] SIMPLEX 2009 - Simplifying Complex Networks CFP]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SIMPLEX 2009 - Simplifying Complex Networks CFP Datum: Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:45:09 +0100 Von: Andrew Moore <andrew.moore(a)cl.cam.ac.uk> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call For Papers Simplex 2009 1st Annual Workshop on Simplifying Complex Network for Practitioners http://www.simplexconf.net 1st July 2009, Venice, Italy Network Science, sometimes also called "complex networks science", has recently attracted much attention from the scientific community, mainly due to the almost ubiquitous presence of complex networks in real-world systems. Examples of complex networ ks are found in living organisms, in engineering systems, as well as in social networks. Most of the real-world systems have the required degree of complexity to be called "complex systems". Complex may have to do with the intricate dynamics of the interacting components, with the non-trivial properties of the underlying network topology, or with the sheer size of the system itself. Despite the numerous workshops and conferences related to network science, it is still a set of loosely interacting communities. Those communities would benefit from better interactions. Researchers in network science can be categorized according to the theoretical school from which they come, e.g. statistical physics, game theory, information theory, distributed algorithms. Each school tackles a very particular aspect of complex systems, like statistical interactions between components, or the computation of the equilibrium of a particular system. The assumptions made by each school to apply their theoretical tools makes it very difficult for practitioners to apply their results to practical situations. Simplex is expected to trigger the communication networks community to propose the topics that should be tackled from the network science perspective, and let the network community explain how to best use their tools for practical problems of communication networks. Two types of contributions are foreseen from prospective authors. The first type would consist of use-cases of theoretical tools and methods to solve practical problems. Such contributions should be as usable as possible by practitioners in the related field. The second type of contributions would come from practitioners that have identified a problem that may be solved by tools from network sciences. The point of such contributions is to make the network sciences community aware of the importance of a high-impact problem, and to suggest means by which the problem may be solved by the network sciences community. Both contributions should stimulate interaction between theoreticians and practitioners, and also have high potential impact in either field. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): - Design of wired/wireless networks - Representing and analyzing dynamic networks - Network robustness to failures and attacks - Mining of large scale networks - Forwarding/routing for opportunistic network - Mobility/connectivity modeling - Anti-spam and Sybil attacks All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed 6 pages. After the workshop, proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag.

Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter-networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe), and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2009 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2009/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] CFP: SI on "Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems", JISE Datum: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 08:40:44 +0800 (CST) Von: 國立臺北大學資工系陳裕賢教授 <yschen(a)mail.ntpu.edu.tw> Antwort an: yschen(a)mail.ntpu.edu.tw An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br ****************************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ****************************************************************************** *Call For Papers *Journal of Information Science and Engineering (indexed by SCIE) Special Issue on Vehicular Wireless Networks and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems *Aim and Scope: *-------------- With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the Vehicular Wireless Networks (V-Winet) and Vehicular Intelligent Transportation Systems (V-ITS) have recently received much attention. V-Winets and V-ITS aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption with many potential applications. For instance, vehicular safety applications include automatic collision notification, heavy fog detection and notification, remote diagnostics, emergency management, and other assistances for safe driving. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion notification, location-based driver information services, high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile high speed Internet access, in-place traffic view, and many others. To facilitate these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications for V-Winet and V-ITS to provide timely information or Internet access to vehicles, drivers, and passengers.

Re: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on WSNs
by Mischa Dohler 03 Apr '09

Dear all, Apologies for cross-postings! The 1 May 2009 submission deadline for this JSAC special issue is coming closer: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Calls/SimpleWirelessSensorNetworkingSolutionsCFP.p… Mischa. _____________________________ Dr Mischa Dohler Senior Researcher CTTC, Barcelona Tel: +34 93 645 2900 Fax: +34 93 645 2901 Mob: +34 6 7909 4007 www.cttc.es/home/mdohler _____________________________ Call for Papers IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) Simple Wireless Sensor Networking Solutions Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in recent years in both industry as well as academia. This is mainly attributed to the unprecedented opportunities they offer. However, WSNs also face significant design challenges, including their limited computing abilities and their dependence on finite battery energy. A major obstacle to the ubiquitous deployment of WSNs is the absence of reliable and easy-to-implement communication stacks. The main design criteria are thus to lower algorithmic complexity to facilitate low-power solutions that can be embedded into low-cost microprocessors, and to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable and efficient communications from sensor nodes to other nodes as well as to data sinks. Such stringent design requirements can be met by a plethora of approaches, e.g., using cross-layer design paradigms, distributed signal processing algorithms, energy-efficient medium access control, fault-tolerant routing protocols, self-organizing and self-healing sensor network mechanisms and reliable data aggregation algorithms, among others. Viable solutions will impact both commercial activities as well as standardization approaches, including IEEE 802.15.4, IETF ROLL, Wireless HART and WOSA. In light of the above, the main purpose of this special issue is twofold: * to promote novel approaches in analyzing, designing and optimizing large-scale energy and complexity constrained WSNs, and * to expose novel, readily deployable protocol solutions that are of low complexity and hence facilitate very cheap network deployment and maintenance, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a useful and practically viable wireless sensor networking solution. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - performance bounds (link and network capacity, with and without imperfections, etc.) - data centric approaches (data fusion, aggregation, source coding, signal processing, etc.) - protocol centric approaches (novel PHY, MAC and networking paradigms, etc.) - cross-layer and cross-functionality designs (joint source/channel coding, etc.) - cooperative and distributed algorithms (cooperative PHY, distributed signal processing, etc.) - key functionalities (security, localization, self-*, synch., abstraction, ease of programming, etc.) - interdisciplinary approaches (principles borrowed from physics, etc.) Papers must be tailored to the problems of WSNs and explicitly consider complexity and energy constraints. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE-JSAC guidelines (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7029&) according to the timetable below. Important Dates: Submission deadline: 1 May 2009 Author Notification: 1 November 2009 Final Manuscript: 15 February 2010 Publication: Q3 2010 Guest Editors: Mischa Dohler CTTC, Barcelona, Spain (mischa.dohler at cttc.es) Kris Pister Berkeley, USA (pister at eecs.berkeley.edu) Wendi Heinzelman University of Rochester, USA (wheinzel at ece.rochester.edu) Mani Srivastava UCLA, USA (mbs at ucla.edu) Ivan Stojmenovic University of Ottawa, Canada (stojmenovic at storm.ca) Kay Römer ETH Zurich, Switzerland (roemer at inf.ethz.ch) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: 3rd Workshop on Networked Systems for Developing Regions (NSDR) Datum: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 11:22:19 +0200 Von: Römer Kay Uwe <roemer(a)INF.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE CALL FOR PAPERS _______________ 3rd Workshop on Networked Systems for Developing Regions (NSDR) To be held with the 22nd ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP) Big Sky Resort, Big Sky, Montana October 11th, 2009 http://www.dritte.org/nsdr09 ** Important Dates ** Submission Deadline: June 15 Notification: August 5 Camera-ready: September 5 Workshop: October 11 ** Background ** Following on two successful workshops hosted with ACM SIGCOMM in 2007 and 2008, the 3rd Workshop on Networked Systems for Developing Regions (NSDR '09) will provide a venue for researchers to present ideas and results concerning the design, implementation and evaluation of new computing and communications technologies serving developing regions. The decreasing cost and increasing access to information and communication technologies (e.g., mobile phones) are rapidly enabling access to new services and markets for previously disconnected populations. However, due to a variety of factors, including cost, literacy, education, and organizational capacity, conventional approaches to technology design and implementation are often not relevant. Moreover, empirical evidence for the impact of such technologies is largely anecdotal, beyond a few well-known and well-cited examples. Addressing this requires engagement of several disciplines, including but not limited to economics, sociology, anthropology, and political science, and expertise in a variety of application areas - including government, health, finance and agriculture. NSDR focuses on addressing significant technical challenges (e.g., communication infrastructure in rural areas, novel caching techniques for challenged networks, security issues arising in such contexts), and on the deployment and evaluation of novel technologies or applications that address a specific need (e.g. providing remote financial services or health care). ** Papers ** We encourage submission of position papers or the results of preliminary work describing interesting, original, previously unpublished ideas or results pertaining to the design, implementation and/or evaluation of networks and systems for developing regions. Accepted papers will: - propose new research directions; - target a specific application; - inform design and/or deployment; - or generate lively debate at the workshop. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Low-cost wireless connectivity - Intermittent systems - Power-efficient systems - Low-cost computing devices - Mobile systems and applications - Adapting content and applications for local languages - User interfaces for low-literacy populations - Design and evaluation of applications for public health, microfinance, agriculture, e-governance, education, monitoring, disaster management, etc. ** Submission ** Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages (six pages) in length (including figures and references), must be a PDF file, and must follow formatting guidelines and instructions at http://www.dritte.org/nsdr09/submit.html. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Reviews will be SINGLE-BLIND: authors' names and affiliations should be included in the submission. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference or journal. ** Program Committee ** Vivek Pai, Princeton (co-chair) Tapan Parikh, UC Berkeley (co-chair) Muneeb Ali, Princeton John Bennett, Colorado Gaetano Borriello, U.
