Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of "going online". Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a "one-fits-all" protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract-registration Deadline: June 15, 2009 Paper-submission Deadline: June 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ITST ] ITST 2009 : dead-line extension Datum: Fri, 15 May 2009 11:57:22 +0200 Von: Gabrielle Landrac <gabrielle.landrac(a)telecom-bretagne.eu> An: com-itst(a)mlistes.telecom-bretagne.eu, tous-ec(a)enst-bretagne.fr For your information, the abstract submission dead-line has been extended up to May 30, 2009. *************************************************************************** ITST 2009 9th International Conference on Telecommunications for Intelligent Transport Systems October 20-22, 2009 - Lille, France http://itst2009.inrets.fr Extended abstract submission: 15/05/09 IEEE France and SEE France scientific support **************************************************************************** Call for Papers ---------------------- The 9th International Conference on Telecommunications for ITS will be held on October 20-22, 2009 in LILLE (North of France) at Nouveau Siècle congress centre. After Phuket in Thaïland, the conference is returning to France. It will bring together engineers and scientists in the field of New Technology of Information and Communication for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The reduction of the impact of transport on the physical, social and human environment is a key challenge for sustainable mobility and development of urban areas. NTIC for ITS will contribute to the deployment of solutions that aim to optimize the use of existing infrastructures (road, rail, maritime, river), to enhance safety and security, to reduce operating and maintenance costs and to offer new services to customers and staff developing inter modal behaviour. ITST conference and its topics are attracting more and more players, academic and industrial researchers, working on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The theme of this year event is NTIC for ITS to increase traffic efficiency and optimize transport modes under safety and security constraints". Works accepted for presentations and poster sessions of ITST 2009 will be balanced from the academic and industrial research community around the world. There will be keynote speakers and invited papers for plenary sessions. Technical exhibitions and demonstrations will be held in the conference centre. Technical visits will be proposed. We have also invited recognized experts from the ITS community as keynote speakers and presenters to enrich the participation. AREAS OF INTERESTS INCLUDE. BUT NOT LIMITED TO ----------------------------------------------- * Policy, Social and Institutional ITS issues * ITS applications/services (road, maritime, fluvial, railway, Public transport, air) * Naming/addressing, (IPv6 addressing scheme and mobility) * Risk management for safety services (system dependability, reliability, security) * IP routing, geo-routing, broadcasting for Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) * Mobile IP and Network Mobility in IPv6 * Protocol conformance testing, interoperability testing and quality assessment. * Testing, verification and diagnosis of ITS components and systems * Multimedia broadcasting technologies (TPEG, DVB, WiMax, LTE, etc) * Modelling and simulation of cooperative systems. * ITS Architecture, Interoperability and Standards * Medium Access Control Schemes * Vehicular Radio Transmission Technologies * In-Vehicle, V2V and V2I Communications * UWB * Sensing Technologies: Radars, Lidars, Sensor Networks * (Smart) Antennas and Propagation for ITS * Device and Circuit Technologies * Software Defined Radio for ITS * Multiple Interface Management SPECIAL SESSIONS ------------------------------ * GALILEO for ITS: J.
