-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [OC-ML] Call for papers: IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Datum: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:42:31 +0200 (CEST) Von: Sven Tomforde <tomforde(a)sra.uni-hannover.de> An: tomforde(a)sra.uni-hannover.de Dear subscribers of the Organic Computing mailinglist, below you can find a Call for papers for the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC). Best regards, Sven Tomforde ===================== CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) BIO-INSPIRED NETWORKING Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of massively networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally distributed and unsupervised way. Recently, a number of approaches inspired by biological mechanisms and phenomena have been proposed as a strategy to handle the complexity of massively distributed systems such as the Internet, or wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The goal of bio-inspired approaches is to discover and to adapt biological methods to technical solutions that are showing similarly high stability, adaptability, and scalability as biological entities often have. This special issue intends to highlight the latest achievements in the new research domain of bio-inspired networking. In particular, the issue focuses on methodologies for identifying relevant biological mechanisms, the modeling of these mechanisms, and their application to technical solutions. Prospective articles are expected to outline either proof of concept studies with direct comparison to classical technical solutions, or theoretical mathematical models of biological principles associated with fundamental challenges in communication systems. For this special issue, we consider all techniques with direct biological background including animal learning strategies, self-organizing methods as observed from swarms down to nano-structures that are observed and analyzed in molecular biology. Classical complex systems research is explicitly excluded from the scope whereas a comparison to well-known techniques in this domain is appreciated. This special issue is dedicated to bio-inspired approaches addressing various aspects of networking and communication systems. The topics of interest include the following domains: Self-organizing communication systems Evolutionary and adaptive systems and protocols Scalable systems and protocols Self-learning algorithms Self-healing systems and protocols Security mechanisms Network algorithms and protocols Scalable and adaptive network architectures Congestion control mechanisms Performance evaluation of bio-inspired networks Original unpublished contributions, and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to IEEE-JSAC guidelines. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via email to dressler(a)ieee.org according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: March 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: September 1, 2009 Final Manuscript due to Pub: December 1, 2009 Publication: 2nd quarter 2010 Guest Editors Falko Dressler, University of Erlangen, Germany (dressler(a)ieee.org) Tatsuya Suda, University of California, Irvine, USA (suda(a)ics.uci.edu) Iacopo Carreras, Create-Net, Italy (iacopo.carreras(a)create-net.org) Masayuki Murata, Osaka University, Japan (murata(a)ist.osaka-u.ac.jp) Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK (Jon.Crowcroft(a)cl.cam.ac.uk)

SWiN 2008 is the First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks, held in conjunction with IEEE WiMob 2008. Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this message. Best regards, Thomas Watteyne. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SWiN 2008 First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks 12 October, 2008, Avignon, France http://ieee.org/go/swin2008/ in conjunction with IEEE WiMob 2008 Full Papers due: June 29, 2008 (extended) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS (pdf version: http://ewh.ieee.org/conf/swin/2008/cfp_swin08.pdf) The First International Workshop on Simulators for Wireless Networks (SWiN 2008) will be held in conjunction with the fourth IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2008) in Avignon, France, on October 12th, 2008. The main focus of this workshop is on simulation of wireless multi-hop networks. The SWiN workshop is devoted to the topic of wireless multi-hop network simulators. An efficient and accurate simulation of these networks raises various issues which generally need to be addressed from several research domains simultaneously. As examples, we can consider the wireless physical layer modeling and simulation, the support of large scale networks, the simulation of complex R/F systems such as MIMO ones, the emulation of wireless nodes, etc. In particular but not exclusively, the Program Committee will be seeking high quality papers on the following aspects of wireless network simulation: - Radio medium modeling & simulation; - Scalability, large scale networks support; - Validation of simulators and simulation results; - Simulators benchmarking and comparisons; - Support of advanced R/F systems (MIMO, smart-antenna); - Support of distributed physical layer schemes (distributed signal processing, cooperative schemes); - Wireless node simulation or emulation; - Interoperability of simulators, emulators and experiments; - Distributed simulation; - Implementation of simulators. This workshop will be an opportunity to present the current works in these domains as well as to foster discussion and cooperation among researchers coming from the fields of simulation, radio medium modeling, ad hoc networking and wireless sensor networking. It will also be the occasion for people directly involved in the development and implementation of simulators to meet and confront their work with the models, applications and requests coming from the research communities that effectively use the simulators. In addition to contributed talks, the workshop program will include two tutorials on wireless physical layer modeling and wireless network simulators. SWiN 2008 will be held in Avignon, in the "Provence" part of Southern France. Avignon is known for its "Palais des Papes" (Palace of the Popes), where the Popes lived for much of the 14th century. With Avignon being one of the most charming places on earth, we expect this to be a truly special workshop. --------------- Important Dates --------------- - Paper submission due: June 29, 2008 (extended) - Paper acceptance notification: July 16, 2008 - Final manuscript due: August 14, 2008 - Registration and full payment due: August 20, 2008 ----------------------- Submission Instructions & Reviewing Policy ----------------------- All papers will be included in the main conference proceedings and published by the IEEE.
