Dear Colleagues, Due to many requests, the deadline for abstract submission to RAWNET/WCN3 2009 has been extended to March 15, 2009. For more information please visit: http://www.rawnet.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET/WNC3 2009 The 5th workshop on Resource Allocation, Cooperation and Competition in Wireless Networks in conjunction with WiOpt'09 the 7th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks June 27, 2009, Seoul, Korea http://www.rawnet.org Full Papers due: March 15, 2009 (updated deadline) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Future telecommunications networks are expected to provide very high data rates, seamless connections, at higher and often heterogeneous quality-of-service levels, in scenarios with ever increasing mobility. In order to meet these requirements, new generation wireless networks go beyond the classical paradigms of cellular networks and are based on complex interactions. In this scenario, efficient allocation of the available resources and/or cooperation, and/or competition play a strategic fundamental role to increase and optimize communication performance of individual nodes or of the global network, and efficiently exploit the available frequency spectrum eventually admitting unlicensed users. This fueled a vibrant flurry of studies in cooperative communications, spectrum management (cognitive radio), and resource allocation. The investigations involve researchers and technicians from the physical, to the networking layers and above and eventually promote joint design within different layers (cross-layer design). Analysis and design of the complex interactions in future communications networks requires contributions from a variety of disciplines, which span from information theory to statistical physics, game theory, optimization, non-commutative algebras and so forth. The workshop promotes the applications of new methodologies in this field with the aim of providing the participants advanced and innovative tools able to catch the fundamental dynamics of complex interactions. It fosters the presentation of new cooperative protocols and new schemes for resource allocation, novel results in the investigation of the theoretical limits and fundamental tradeoffs between competition and cooperation. The applications can steam from any wireless scenario, from multicell networks to sensor and relay networks, cognitive radio or ad-hoc network. In fact, object of the workshop is to provide the participant with a comprehensive, thorough, and unified vision of the resource allocation issue in complex multiuser and multiprovider networks regulated by cooperation and competition. --------------------------- KEYNOTE TALKS --------------------------- * Prof. Anthony Ephremides (University of Maryland) COOPERATION AT THE NETWORK LEVEL * Prof. Gerhard Kramer (University of Southern California) CODING FOR COOPERATION AND RELAYING --------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------- * User scheduling (single cell/multicell/OFDMA/relay-multihoping network); ² Cross-layer design; ² Power-control and energy e±cient communications; ² Resource allocation-based interference mitigation; ² Cooperation schemes for interference control, coverage extension (multicell, multihop cooperation); ² Game theoretic resource allocation; ² Spectrum management, i.e. resource allocation in cognitive radio; ² Pricing based, auction based schemes in ad-hoc/cellular networks; ² Fairness vs performance issues; ² Relay selection, cooperative group optimization and resource allocation; ² Scaling laws and information theoretic bounds; ² Diversity/multiplexing trade-o®s of cooperation protocols; ² Effect of partial and incomplete channel state information in cooperative systems, and robust designs; ² Practical issues in cooperation strategies for mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks. --------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------- Submission Deadline (extended): March 15, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: April 1, 2009 Camera-ready Manuscripts: May 1, 2009 --------------------------- Submission Guidelines --------------------------- The submission will be handled electronically via EasyChair system at https://www.easychair.org/.

[Tccc] CFP: GeoSensor Networks 2009, Oxford, UK
by Andrew Markham 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS GEOSENSOR NETWORKS 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13-14 July 2009, Oxford, United Kingdom Website: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/geosensornetworks/ Sponsored by: University of Oxford Papers to be published by Springer in the "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) series. They will also be indexed electronically on SpringerLink. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Geosensor networks shift the traditional centralized paradigm of monitoring a geographical area from the macroscale to the microscale, by using distributed sensors to measure variables of interest (such as environmental, biological and chemical variables, seismic activity and geolocated videofeeds). Whilst having the ability to provide data with unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, geosensor networks have pushed the frontiers of traditional GIS research into the realms of computer science, introducing issues such as data fusion, geolocated queries, energy efficient data collection and data mining and interpretation. The incorporation of mobile devices into these networks allows data acquisition to be undertaken on a spatially varying sampling resolution, introducing new research avenues such as co-operative sensing and dynamic coverage. Furthermore, geosensor networks are not only constrained to passively monitor a region, through actuators, they also have the ability to influence or modify their environment. Research in geosensor networks spans multiple fields, ranging from strategies for intelligent data acquisition to virtual reality interactions with environmental dynamics. Of particular interest are applications of geosensor networks, such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, early warning systems and wildlife tracking. This workshop seeks to address these issues, by bringing together leading experts in a two day forum to present novel research and exchange ideas relating to the state of the art and its future directions. Real world results are particularly welcomed, as are reports of interesting or challenging deployments. KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Bhaskar Krishnamachari (USC) Andreas Savvides (Yale) IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submission: 3 April 2009 Notification of Acceptance: 27 April 2009 Camera Ready Papers Due: 5 May 2009 Conference: 13-14 July 2009 TOPICS Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following as they relate to spatio-temporal applications and geosensor networks: * Data mining across sensor themes * Modeling spatio-temporal data streams * Data stream processing * Handling uncertainty and imprecision in geospatial data * Intelligent sensors/sensor fusion * Location-based queries * Middleware for pervasive computing * Mobile computing * Co-operative sensing and organization * Peer-to-peer collaboration strategies using geospatial information * Queries (aggregate and statistical) and reasoning over data streams * Query optimization over sensor networks * Real-time updating of geospatial databases * Sensor information management systems * Spatiotemporal sensor data mining * Video and motion imagery analysis for real-time scene and event modeling and monitoring * Virtual modeling of large geographic areas * Time geography * Privacy, geo-privacy * Sensor networks and interaction with actuators * Applications of geosensor networks (e.g. disaster management, early warning systems, environmental monitoring) * Real world deployments, issues, challenges and results PAPER SUBMISSION: - Papers should not exceed 10 pages/LNCS format: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html - Link to submission and more instructions can be found on the conference website ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: General chair: - Niki Trigoni, University of Oxford Steering committee: - Silvia Nittel, University of Maine - Alex Labrinidis, University of Pittsburgh - Niki Trigoni, University of Oxford Publicity chair: - Andrew Markham, University of Oxford PROGRAM COMMITTEE: - Alastair Beresford, University of Cambridge, UK - Ioannis Chatzigiannakis, University of Patras, Greece - Antonios Deligiannakis, Technical University of Crete, Greece - Dinos Ferentinos, University of Athens, Greece - Alvaro Fernandes, University of Manchester, UK - Vana Kalogeraki, University of California, Riverside, USA - Yannis Kotidis ,Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece - Antonio Kruger, University of Muenster, Germany - Lars Kulik, University of Melbourne, Australia - Andrew Markham, University of Oxford, UK - Kirk Martinez, University of Southampton, UK - Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge, UK - Peter Pietzuch, Imperial College London, UK - Monika Sester, LUH, Germany - Egemen Tanin, University of Melbourne, Australia - Theodore Tsiligiridis, Agricultural University of Athens, Greece - Niki Trigoni, University of Oxford, UK (Chair) - Peter Widmayer, ETH, Switzerland - Mike Worboys, University of Maine, USA - Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, UK _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: [Tccc] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications]
by Lars Wolf 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications Datum: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 11:32:21 +0000 Von: Joel Rodrigues <joeljr(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture, and Applications Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are designed to address networks that exhibit intermittent connectivity. In general DTN architecture can be defined by one or more of the following characteristics: (a) sparse connectivity (i. e., end-to-end route between source and destination may not even exist); (b) long or variable delay; (c) asymmetric data rate; and (d) high error rate. Such characteristics can be results of various factors, including sever power fluctuations, wireless range, network partitioning, catastrophic disasters, or malicious attacks. Consequently, applications of DTNs are highly diverse and can be expanded to a wide variety of areas. Examples of such areas are interplanetary networks for deep space communications, sensor networks for ecological monitoring, transient networks to benefit developing communities, ad hoc networks to disseminate information in tactical or roadway environments, and disaster recovery networks to restore communications following a natural disaster. Diversity of network environments and inherent uncertainty about network conditions make design of DTNs highly challenging in terms of architecture, protocol designs, interoperability, security, management, and stability. We hope this special issue can address some of these issues and further stimulate activity in the research community. The goal of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the- art research contributions that address the various aspects of delay/disruption tolerant communications, networks, architecture, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multicasting and broadcasting * Routing protocols for stochastic and deterministic time evolving networks * Integration with other systems and networks, such as free-space optical communications systems, MANET, VANET, C2C, Deep space, Acoustic Underwater, ad hoc, sensor/actuator networks * Models for rural connectivity and disconnected ad hoc networks * Multimedia and web searching * Hybrid DTN * Security, stability, survivability, and interoperability * Wireless DTN technologies, including RF, UWB, free-space optical, and acoustic * Network architecture and design, including link technology and node design * Applications, testbeds, and implementations * Management, configuration, QoS, and authentication * User mobility support, naming, and addressing * Protocols and overlay architecture * Delay tolerant networks and energy efficiency * Economic models and feasibility SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers should be submitted as PDF format electronically to joeljr(a)ieee.org with a Subject of SI/JCM. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts following the standard review process of the Journal of Communications to ensure the high quality of the special issue of the journal. Further information on Journal of Communications can be found at: http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/ . IMPORTANT DATES: Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2009 Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2009 Revised manuscript due: September 30, 2009 Publication: First Quarter, 2010 GUEST EDITORS: Joel Rodrigues, Instituto de Telecomunicações, University of Beira Interior, Portugal Email: joeljr(a)ieee.org Farid Farahmand, Sonoma State University, USA Email: farid.farahmand(a)flash.net Wai Chen, Telcordia Technologies, USA Email: wchen(a)research.telcordia.com _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

I am looking forward to a contribution from you or your group and hope to see you in linz in september 2009! All the best, Gabriele Kotsis *ISWC'09 CALL FOR PAPERS* ISWC'09, the thirteenth annual IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers, is the premier forum for wearable computing and issues related to on-body and worn mobile technologies. ISWC'09 will bring together researchers, product vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users, and related professionals to share information and advances in wearable computing. ISWC'09 explicitly aims to broaden its scope to include cell phones and cell phone applications as they have become the most successful wearable computer to date. ISWC'09 invites to submit original work in one or more of the following formats: full papers, notes, posters, late breaking results, demonstrations, videos, tutorials and workshops. As already successfully performed in the past, this year's ISWC also invites for a contest of wearable system designs, encouraging academic and industrial design, media and art authorities to submit conceptual work in a creative, inspiring, innovative and future oriented style. For first time, ISWC'09 will publish adjunct proceedings which will include the late breaking results, video papers, demonstrations, design papers of selected workshops. *Wearable Systems* - Wearable system design, wearable displays and electronic textiles - Wearable sensors, actuators, input/output devices and power management systems - Interaction design, industrial design of wearable systems - Wearable sensor networks for sensing context-awareness, activity or cognitive state - Software and service architectures, infrastructure based as well as ad-hoc systems - Operating systems issues related to wearable computing, including issues such as dependability, fault-tolerance, security, trustworthiness and power management - Networks, including wireless networks, on-body networks, and support for interaction with other wearables, pervasive and ubiquitous computing systems or the Internet - Cooperative wearables, ensembles of wearable artefacts, coordination or wearables - Techniques for power management and heat dissipation, and manufacturing issues *Usability, HCI and Human Factors in Wearable Computing* - Human factors issues with and ergonomics of body worn computing systems - User modeling, user evaluation, usability engineering of wearable systems - Systems and designs for combining wearable and pervasive/ubiquitous computing - Interfaces, including hands-free approaches, speech-based interaction, sensory augmentation, haptics, and human- centered robotics - Social implications, health risk, environmental and privacy issues - Wearable technology for social-network computing, visualization and augmentation - Experience design *Applications of Wearable Systems* - Wearable systems in consumer, industrial, work, manufacturing, environmental, educational, medical, sports, wellness, health care and ambient assisted living domains - Wearable systems in culture, fashion and the arts - Smart clothing, for people with disabilities, and for elderly enablement - Use of wearable computers as components of larger systems, such as augmented reality systems, training systems and systems designed to support collaborative work - Formal evaluation of performance of wearable computer technologies, and comparisons with existing technologies *Mobile Phones as Wearables* - Mobile applications designed for / delivered through cell phones - Cell phone services, cell phone designs, cell phones as personal computers - Cell phone technologies, e.g. combining short and long range radios, multimedia streaming - Extending cell phone hardware e.g. sensing, novel IO modalities, embeddings - Cell phone interaction, cooperative cell phones, grids and clouds of cell phones - Studies based on cell phone deployments (especially large scale) *SUBMISSIONS* *Full Papers* Regular paper submissions must present original, highly innovative, prospective and forward-looking research in one or more of the themes given above. Full papers must break new ground, present new insight, deliver a significant research contribution and provide validated support for its results and conclusions. Successful submissions typically represent a major advance for the field of wearable computing, referencing and relating the contribution to existing research work, giving a comprehensive, detailed and understandable explanation of a device, system, study, theory or method, and support the findings with a compelling evaluation and/or validation. Each paper must be submitted as a single PDF file in IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5x11 inch two-column format (not longer than eight pages in length). Accepted regular papers will be included in the printed conference main proceedings and presented in the paper sessions. Submissions to ISWC'09 must not be under review by any other conference or publication during the ISWC review cycle, and must not be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere. *Notes and Posters* Notes (not longer than four pages in length) and posters (not longer than two pages in length) must report new results and provide support for the results as a novel and valuable contribution to the field - just like full papers. Notes are intended for succinct work that is nonetheless in a mature state ready for inclusion in archival proceedings. Posters are intended to present very concise, yet focused and significant research results. Both notes and posters will be held to the same standard of scientific quality as full papers, albeit for a shorter presentation, and must still state how they fit with respect to related work, and provide a compelling explanation and validation. Notes and posters must be submitted as single PDF file in IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5x11-inch two-column format. Accepted notes and posters will be published in the conference main proceedings. Notes will be presented in the paper sessions of the conference, posters will be presented at the conference poster and demonstration session. *Late Breaking Results* This submission format aims at presenting very topical issues and late breaking application oriented results in all areas of wearable computing. Just like regular papers, late breaking results should present directing research, but in a very focused and compact format. Late breaking results are not understood as short papers condensed into less page space, but are intended to present pointed results at a high level of technicality. LBR submissions can gain from an "extended submission deadline" (May 18, 2009), and should be formatted in Springer LNCS single column format, not exceeding 8 pages). They will undergo a scientific reviewing process managed by the LBR program committee under the steering of the LBR chair. Accepted LBRs will be presented at the conference, and will be published in the "Advances in Wearable Computing" book of the OCG (adjunct proceedings), accompanying the conference proceedings. *Video Papers* Submissions are invited to present novel wearable computing systems, devices or just designs, or demonstrate innovative styles of interaction or usability of those systems - in a lively format: as a video. Video clips should be no longer than 8 minutes and be accompanied by a 4 page (or approx. 2000 words) written summary. Video paper submissions should be formatted in Springer LNCS single column format, and not exceeding 4 pages). Accepted video papers will be published in the "Advances in Wearable Computing" book of the OCG, accompanying the conference proceedings. The author(s) of a video are expected to present a brief introduction at the conference, while all full videos will be presented during the ISWC'09 night show - a special event in the frame of the 30th anniversary of the Ars Electronica Festival. Video papers will be published in the ISWC'09 adjunct proceedings, all video clips will be presented in the ISWC'09 Video DVD. *Reviewing Process for Papers, Notes, Posters, LBRs and Videos* ISWC'09 will adopt a double-blind process for full papers, notes and posters - as well as for late breaking results and video papers. Authors' names and their affiliations must not be revealed or mentioned anywhere in the submission. Please refer to the paper submission link at the conference website (www.iswc.net). Questions about the papers, notes and posters should be directed to progchair(a)iswc.net, about late breaking results submissions to lbrchair(a)iswc.net, and about video papers to videochair(a)iswc.net. *Demos* Demonstrations provide an opportunity to show research prototypes and works-in-progress to colleagues for comment in a relaxed atmosphere. Both independent demonstrations and those accompanying accepted papers and posters are welcome. Demonstrations will not be published in the main conference proceedings, but will be included in the adjunct proceedings. Accommodations (power, space, etc...) will be limited, so participants should plan to be mobile and self-supported. To apply to perform a demonstration, please submit (i) a one-page summary that describes what you plan to demonstrate, including a 200 word abstract (ii) a photo or diagram to be included in the demonstration handout alongside the abstract (minimum size 640 x 480 pixels), and (iii) to demonstrations(a)iswc.net by Monday, May 18, 2009. Only the abstract will be included in the "Advances in Wearable Com-puting" book (adjunct proceedings), the rest of the summary will be used to judge the quality of the submission. *Design Contest* Participating at the ISWC design contest is a great opportunity to showcase your product or prototype to the leaders in wearable computing. The design contest will take place during the conference banquet dinner on Sunday, September 6, 2009 and can be used to demonstrate your "smart gadgets" (plan to be mobile and self-supported). Contributions are encouraged from all areas of wearable computing, from technologies to textiles, from potential employers to product vendors. Direct questions related to the Design Contest to designcontest(a)iswc.net. *Tutorials and Workshops* Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF format via E-mail to workshops(a)iswc.net by February 1, 2009. The workshops will provide a forum to discuss topical aspects of wearable computing in focus groups. State of the art tutorials will be presented by experienced, distinguished presenters. The workshops and tutorials will take place on Friday, September 4 2009 (a day before the main conference). (workshops(a)iswc.net, tutorials(a)iswc.net) *Doctoral Colloquium* The purpose of the colloquium is to offer PhD students and candidates, interested in the wearable/mixed and augmented reality fields, an opportunity to present their ideas and research plans in an international, agile and renowned audience of junior and senior researchers and developers in the wearable computing field. Thesis position papers (5 pages including all figures and bibliography) are solicited relating a problem statement, methodological approach, potential for innovation and expected contribution to the international wearable computing literature.
