[Tccc] Deadline Extension: Journal of High Speed Networks, Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
by Kemal Akkaya 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

We apologize for multiple receipts of this CFP. ================================================= Deadline Extended to Dec. 20th, 2008. -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------- Journal of High Speed Networks Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks -------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is a promising technology that offers solutions for low-cost broadband Internet access by extending the local area networks to wide area. Unlike mobile ad hoc and sensor networks, the mesh nodes in a WMN are stationary and have access to unlimited power. Typically, mobile clients connect to the mesh nodes and use the backbone to communicate with one another over large distances and with nodes on the Internet through a gateway. One of the distinct characteristics of WMNs is that the mesh nodes can employ multiple radios and utilize multiple channels which thereby bring a potential to improve the throughput and bandwidth of the network. In addition, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas can be employed. Such technologies can be exploited for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning that can be used to offer some level of service differentiation to facilitate multimedia/real-time data communication, Video on Demand, VoIP, etc. over WMNs. Prior research on QoS provisioning in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks has mostly addressed the challenges under the single channel paradigm. While the research community has recently started to study the QoS challenges in WMNs, the current focus has largely been on bandwidth guarantees for traffic going out of the WMN to the Internet via the gateway(s). Therefore, further research is needed to provide QoS guarantees for intra-WMN traffic not only on bandwidth but also on delay, delay jitter and reliability so that WMNs can be realized as a technology in the near future. The goal of this special issue is to collect papers in the area of QoS provisioning in multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-hop WMNs. We solicit papers which will address QoS challenges under multiple radios and channels, provide the foundation for applications such as Video on Demand, teleconferencing and VoIP, and deal with channel assignment and routing problems simultaneously. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - QoS routing with multiple radios/channels - Providing delay and delay jitter guarantees - Cross-layer design and optimization - Dynamic channel assignment with QoS routing - MIMO techniques for QoS provisioning - Handling mobility of mesh clients during QoS support - Performance analysis - Wireless mesh network testbed design and measurements - Fault-tolerance and QoS provisioning - Security and QoS provisioning - Utilization of cognitive radio for QoS provisioning - Centralized vs. distributed QoS algorithms Important Dates: - Manuscript Due (Extended Deadline): December 14th, 2008 - Acceptance Notification: January 14, 2009 - Final Manuscript Due: February 4, 2009 Submission Guidelines: All submissions to the Journal must be in English and based on original research of some fundamental significance. The paper must not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere, although part of the paper may have been published in conference proceedings. A manuscript largely based on a conference paper must be so identified. It is expected that the author(s) have obtained necessary approval or clearance prior to submitting the paper. All submissions to the Journal will be reviewed by competent referees and are considered on the basis of their technical correctness, contribution, novelty, readability and usefulness to the Journal's readership. The font size should be at least 10 and the number of pages should not exceed 15. IEEE transaction style is preferable.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on WSNs Datum: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:58:33 +0100 Von: Mischa Dohler <mischa.dohler(a)cttc.es> Antwort an: mischa.dohler(a)cttc.es Organisation: CTTC An: <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Dear all, Apologies for cross-postings, however, we thought this JSAC special issue may interest you. You are welcome to forward this to friends and colleagues working in the field. Thanks and kind regards, Mischa. _____________________________ Dr Mischa Dohler Senior Researcher CTTC, Barcelona Tel: +34 93 645 2900 Fax: +34 93 645 2901 Mob: +34 6 7909 4007 <http://www.cttc.es/home/mdohler> 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.

The conference builds on previous highly influential meetings in New York, Seattle, Dublin, Jacksonville and Chicago. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing, particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. * Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, fault-tolerance, machine learning, control theory, predictive methods and their use to automate manual operations and enforce behavior. * Software engineering principles and architectures for self-managing systems, based on interoperable Grid Services, agent-based systems, Web Services, model-based systems or novel paradigms such as biological, economic or social. * System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self-managing systems in standalone, distributed, cluster, and Grid computing environments (e.g., health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning). * Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. * Specific self-managing components, such as server, storage, network, data center or specific application elements. Emphasis should be placed on techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. * Management topics, such as specification and modeling of service-level agreements, negotiation/conversation support, behavior enforcement, etc., tie in with IT governance, and interaction with legacy systems. * Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. * Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. * Applications of autonomics to real and complex problems in science, engineering, business and society. PAPER/POSTER SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATION Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference themes. Submitted papers must include original work, and may not be under consideration for another conference or journal. They should also not be under review or be submitted to another forum during the ICAC-09 review process. Authors should submit full papers or posters electronically (PDF or postscript) via EDAS using the link on the ICAC-09 conference web site. Formatting instructions will also be posted at the web site. Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society (to be confirmed), which will be distributed at the conference. Authors of accepted papers/poster are expected to present their work at the conference. WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITION ICAC-09 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on specific topics of general interest to the autonomic computing community. Workshops are expected to publish proceedings, and should cover areas that may not be properly addressed in the main scientific program. ICAC-09 will also feature a demonstration and exhibition session consisting of prototypes and technology artifacts such as demonstrating autonomic software or autonomic computing principles. Entries will be judged by a separate subcommittee led by the demo/exhibit chair. INDUSTRY SESSION A singular value of ICAC is the confluence of top researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. ICAC-09 will provide a readout of various technologies currently in play from product perspectives. Among the areas to be addressed are core enablers for autonomic capabilities to be realized, such as frameworks, protocols and autonomic engines in production systems. The industry session also will address current areas of difficulty that present direct opportunities for both academic and corporate research. Topics will be relevant to entrepreneurs, product developers, architects, managers, marketers and end users. Papers and posters reflecting such industry perspectives are especially encouraged and can be submitted as described above. STUDENT AWARDS A student best paper award will be presented, consisting of a commemorative plaque, complimentary student registration to the conference and an honorarium that will partially cover travel & hotel costs. (A student paper is defined as one in which the principal (not sole) author is a student.) The student will be required to present the paper to receive the award.

CALL FOR PAPERS For the reliable performance evaluation of wireless networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages in ACM conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the SCENES website. All submissions will be handled via EDAS: http://edas.info/7006 IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission deadline: Nov. 16, 2008 Notification of acceptance: Jan. 6, 2009 Camera-ready paper due: Jan. 25, 2009 COMMITTEE: Program Chairs: Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany Tracy Camp, Colorado School of Mines, USA Technical Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Christian Bettstetter, University of Klagenfurt, Austria Marco Conti, Istituto di Informatica e Telematica, Pisa, Italy Mario Gerla, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Ahmed Helmy, University of Florida, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St Andrews, Scotland Edward Knightly, Rice University, USA Robin Kravets, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA Christoph Lindemann, University of Leipzig, Germany Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge, UK Mirco Musolesi, University of Cambridge, UK Matthias Paetzold, University in Agder, Norway Maria Papadopouli, University of Crete, Greece Gerard Rowe, University of Auckland, New Zealand
