-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM/IET/ICST International Workshop on Performance and Analysis of Wireless Networks Datum: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 19:00:31 +0100 Von: Eduardo Cerqueira <ecoelho(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= Paper submission deadline: June 1, 2008 (firm deadline) ------------------------------------------------------------------ ACM/IET/ICST International Workshop on Performance and Analysis of Wireless Networks http://www.cs.adelaide.edu.au/~pawn08/ Held in conjunction with The International Conference on Mobile Technology, Applications,and Systems (Mobility 2008),Ilan, TAIWAN September 10-12, 2008 http://www.mobilityconference.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEYNOTE ADDRESS: "Complementary Coded Cooperative Wireless Networking" Presented by: Professor Hsiao-Hwa Chen,National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless communication technologies have been evolving at a rapid pace over the last few decades. Different types of wireless communication networks (BAN, PAN, LAN, etc) are being deployed to address the needs of all kinds of users. Evaluating the performance of wireless networks and systems continues to be a critical activity in the design, implementation, and deployment of emerging wireless technologies. This workshop is intended to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers, practitioners, network users to share their experiences, present original ideas, report on state-of-the-art and in-progress research results on the empirical performance of wireless communication technologies and applications. In contrast to many past and current workshops also covering the topic of wireless networks, this event places special emphasis on empirical performance results obtained on actual, physical wireless network infrastructures, testbeds, networked hosts, and devices. Performance results obtained using only modeling, theoretical analysis or simulators without a strong practical performance component are not appropriate for this workshop. We particularly welcome submissions that present experimental performance evaluations of innovative wireless design/implementation prototype architectures, systems, and applications. We hope that the contributions to this workshop will help us better understand many of the practical performance related issues that are likely to impact next generation wireless networks, technologies, and applications. Topics of interest, but are not limited to: ------------------------------------------- * Performance of wireless media access protocols * Performance of mobility protocols and architectures * Performance of mobility management protocols and architectures * Performance of wireless local area networks, personal area networks * Performance of broadband wireless access technologies (WiMAX, etc) * Performance of 3G/4G networks, systems, and protocols * Performance of sensor networks and devices * Performance of heterogeneous wireless networks * Performance of wireless security protocols * Performance of wireless communication protocols * Performance of admission control protocols over wireless networks * Performance optimizations and tuning over wireless networks * Performance of heterogeneous wired/wireless network testbeds * Performance of wireless applications * Performance measurement tools and techniques for wireless networks International Committee ----------------------- General Chair ------------- Bharat Bhargava, Purdue University, USA Technical Program Co-Chairs -------------------------- Sherali Zeadally, University of the District of Columbia, USA Abdelhamid Mellouk, University of Paris XII, France Technical Program Committee ---------------------------- Saleem Bhatti, St Andrew's University, UK Mauro Biagi, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Italy Subir Biswas, Michigan State University, USA Luciano Bononi, University of Bologna, Italy Ling Teck Chaw, University of Malaya, Malaysia Ing-Yi Chen, National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan Carla-Fabiana Chiasserin, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Naveen Chilamkurti, La Trobe University, Australia Hesham El-Sayed, United Arab Emirates University, UAE Scott Fowler, Aston University, UK Ray Hunt, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Min-Shiang Hwang, National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan Arshad Jhumka, University of Warwick, UK Polychronis Koutsakis, McMaster University, Canada Bjorn Landfeldt, University of Sydney, Australia Peter Langendoerfer, IHP-Microelectronics, Germany Leslek Lilien, Western Michigan University, USA Luis Loyola, DoCoMo Euro Laboratories, Germany Teck Meng Lim, StarHub Ltd, Singapore Kami Makki, University of Toledo, USA Peter Mueller, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland Farid Nait-Abdesselam, University of Sciences & Technologies of Lille, France Sotiris Nikoletseas, University of Patras and CTI, Greece Ertan Öztürk, Zonguldak Karaelmas University, Turkey Ioan Raicu, University of Chicago, USA Bernd Steinke, Nokia Research, Germany Nicolas Sklavos, University of Patras, Greece Jesús Téllez, University de Carabobo, Venezuela Thanos Vasilakos, University of Western Macedonia, Greece Bin Wei, AT&T Research, USA Jiang (Linda) Xie, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA Lu Yan, University College London, UK Peng Yang, Hitachi (China) R&D Corporation, China Hsu-Chun Yen, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Publicity Co-Chairs ------------------ Michael Sheng, University of Adelaide, Australia Elias Tragos, National University of Athens, Greece Important Dates ---------------- Paper submission deadline: June 1, 2008 Notification date: July 1, 2008 Camera-ready version due: August 1, 2008 Author Instructions ------------------- Prospective authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of performance and analysis of wireless communication technologies, systems, and networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IFIP/IEEE MMNS 2008 - Second CFP, Extended deadline to 5 May 2008 Datum: Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:56:43 +0200 Von: Toufik Ahmed <tad(a)labri.fr> Organisation: CNRS LABRI Lab. An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologize if you receive multiple copies. ================================================================ MMNS 08 C A L L F O R P A P E R S ================================================================ 11th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS 2008) “Management of Converged Multimedia Networks and Services” Co-chairs: -George Pavlou (University College London, United Kingdom) -Toufik Ahmed (University Bordeaux 1, France) -Tasos Dagiuklas (TEI of Mesolonghi, Greece) The 11th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS) will be held in September 22 to 26, 2008 at the Doryssa Bay Resort (www.doryssa-bay.gr) on the Greek island of Samos (http://www.samosin.gr) as part of the 4th International Week on the Management of Networks and Services (Manweek 2008). MMNS will provide participants with a high quality and intimate setting for discussion and debate. The conference is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society and specifically the Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). SCOPE OF MMNS 2008 Since 1997, MMNS has established itself as a major conference for research and innovation in the management of multimedia technology and networked services. The scope of the conference has been expanded in recent years to include management of emerging mobile and wireless networks. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from academia and industry interested in state-of-the-art management of converged multimedia networks and services across heterogeneous networking infrastructures, while creating a public venue for result dissemination and intellectual collaboration. The convergence of existing and emerging technologies such as broadband, mobile, and broadcast networks is considered as a promising opportunity for existing providers to increase theirs service subscriber base so that 4G vision and beyond becomes a reality. An important research effort is undertaken by main actors to face the multidimensional, in terms of transport technology, session signalling, and QoS provisioning, heterogeneity of Next Generation Networks (NGNs). Efficient management of these services is a key ingredient in the effort to provide cost effective, innovative services, and mass market solutions that are likely to become a major source of income for different stakeholders. The need to evolve management tools, solutions, platforms and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobile and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, triple play (data/voice/video) convergence, and the integration of embedded computing and communications. The academic and industry research communities should unify forces to address the challenges of developing and operating converged multimedia networks and services. Inevitably, integrated management is a key element in addressing this challenge. The MMNS 2008 technical program committee is soliciting research papers in the broad area of network and service management that address new models, architectures and technological designs to enable multimedia and mobility proliferation in NGNs. MMNS 2008 intends to continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, and will emphasize and solicit novel research in the management of converged multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: • Management of media streaming and real-time service delivery • Management of wireless ad-hoc/mesh networks • Management of NGN/4G networks and services • Management of sensor and actuator networks • Management of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) • Multi-service/ multiple-play over IP (voice, video, data and mobility over IP) network management • Grid networking for multimedia • Cross-layer management • Multimedia in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks • Quality of service management in multimedia and mobile networks • Planning and optimisation of multimedia and mobile networks • IP Multimedia System (IMS) operations and management • Management of service delivery platforms • Management of content distribution networking • Distributed multimedia service management • Performance evaluation of multimedia and mobile services • Wireless/Mobile Multimedia broadcast/multicast technologies • Novel protocols for multimedia services • Multi-point, multicast service management • Seamless mobility of multimedia services • Pricing, accounting and billing for multimedia services • Management of trust and security for mobile and multimedia networks and services • Self-properties of multimedia and mobile networks and services • Network virtualization for network management and service provisioning • Remote over-the-air manageability in mobile networks • End-to-end management for multimedia transmission in mobile/wireless networks • Mobile platform architecture optimizations for management services • Network manageability across heterogeneous wireless networks • Novel network architectures for mobile network management services PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

UbiComp'08: Paper&Workshop Deadline April 4 !!, New Calls: Posters, Demos, etc. Deadline June 27
by Berger, Michael (CT) 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

(Apologies for duplicates!) 1.) Papers and Workshops -> deadline April 4 !!! 2.) New Calls for Posters, Demonstrations, Videos, Panels, Doctoral Colloquium and Student Volunteers -> deadline June 27 ------------------------------------------- UbiComp 2008 Tenth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing COEX, Seoul, South Korea September 21 - 24, 2008 http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008 The Tenth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2008) welcomes original, high-quality research contributions that advance the state of the art in the design, development, deployment, evaluation and understanding of ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) systems. Ubicomp is an interdisciplinary field of study that includes pervasive, wireless, embedded, wearable and/or mobile technologies that bridge the gaps between the digital and physical worlds, useful applications that incorporate these technologies, infrastructures that effectively support them, human activities and experiences these technologies facilitate, and conceptual overviews that help us understand - or challenge our understanding of - the impact of these technologies. The UbiComp conference is a premier international venue in which novel results in these areas are presented and discussed among leading researchers, designers, developers and other practitioners in this field. We previously announced calls for participation in the categories of Full Papers and Notes (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_papers.shtml) and Workshop Proposals (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_workshops.shtml), both of which have deadlines this coming Friday, April 4. This announcement expands the call for participation to include the categories of Posters, Demonstrations, Videos, Panels, Doctoral Colloquium and Student Volunteers, all of which have submission deadlines of Friday, June 27. Brief summaries of these categories are included below; more comprehensive descriptions of each of the categories - including contact information for the chairs of each category - can be found via the associated links. Posters (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_posters.shtml) The Posters category provides researchers with an opportunity to present their bleeding-edge work in an interactive fashion in front of an expert audience, without impacting the possibility of publishing as a full paper at a later date. Accepted Posters will be presented in three forms: as a poster at the conference poster reception, at the "1-minute madness" session preceding the reception, and as an extended abstract distributed to the attendees. We encourage the submission of preliminary or exploratory work, smaller projects or results not suitable for a full paper, and any other research that would excite discussion and benefit from this open forum. Demonstrations (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_demos.shtml) The Demonstrations Program offers an excellent way to showcase tangible results of ubiquitous computing research and development to hundreds of attendees from academia and industry. A successful demo communicates ideas and concepts in a powerful way that a regular presentation cannot. We invite you to contribute your vision of the ubicomp experience to the Demonstrations Program at the UbiComp 2008 conference. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussion about issues within the field of ubiquitous computing. Videos (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_videos.shtml) Research videos are an integral part of the ubiquitous computing conference series. With the category of Research Videos, UbiComp 2008 seeks research contributions, future visions, project descriptions, and concepts of ubiquitous computing technologies, systems and applications. The conference particularly values practical experience with design, deployment and use of ubiquitous systems and applications, and investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and technologies. We encourage submission of videos both as new material and as supplemental to paper submissions (e.g., in order to illustrate particular aspects of a system). Panels (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_panels.shtml) We seek proposals for panels for Ubicomp 2008 that take a retrospective look at research and development in ubiquitous computing over the past 15 years since Mark Weiser's seminal paper on ubiquitous computing, and that outline possible futures for our field of research and development. We invite panels that address technological, design, social, and cultural issues related to the realization of ubiquitous computing into our surroundings, now and in the future. The best panels involve debate. We actively encourage panel proposals that deal with controversial issues. Doctoral Colloquium (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_doctoralc.shtml) We invite PhD students and candidates to present, discuss and defend their work-in-progress or preliminary results in an international and renowned audience of researchers and developers at UbiComp 2008 conference is Korea. The scope of the doctoral colloquium is equivalent to the conference and hence includes all major aspects of ubiquitous computing. We invite students that are beyond the idea-phase their PhD studies and who have not yet finished their thesis (at least 6 more months to go), so that they can sill incorporate the advice and suggestions discussed in the colloquium. Student Volunteers (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/student_volunteers.shtml) Student volunteers provide the backbone of a successful conference. Accepted volunteers are expected to work in multiple functions during the conference, but will also be given great opportunities to attend the program and socialize. All student volunteers will receive a free registration to the conference (including meals & special events). We hope you will join us at UbiComp 2008 by participating in one or more of these categories!

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series]
by Lars Wolf 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:05:50 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series A recent trend in consumer networking is that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities….indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications where in recent years, we have seen the emergence of 3G and 4G, WiFi and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Wibree, Ultrawideband and TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. Given such networks we will see a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer.

[Mycolleagues] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series
by Dr Mario Kolberg 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series A recent trend in consumer networking is that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities….indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications where in recent years, we have seen the emergence of 3G and 4G, WiFi and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Wibree, Ultrawideband and TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. Given such networks we will see a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology and spectrum policy communities.

[Tccc] FINAL CFP: Special Issue on Content Distribution Infrastructures for Community Networks (Elsevier Computer Networks Journal)
by Roberto Canonico 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier Computer Networks Special issue on "Content Distribution Infrastructures for Community Networks" ------------------------------------------------------------- ***** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to April 20th, 2008 ***** ------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.elsevier.com/authored_subject_sections/P05/CFP/cfp_contdistinfra… Multimedia content delivery has undergone a dramatic change in recent years. The roles of content provider and producer are no longer restricted to a few professional organisations, as more and more users share audio visual content or use community sites to support their common interest. Nowadays, both portable multimedia devices (e.g., PDAs, mobile phones, MP3 recorders, and digital cameras) and home entertainment systems (e.g., set-top boxes, game consoles, and media-centers) have become integral parts of the content distribution system. Also the underlying delivery infrastructure is undergoing major changes. There is a shift away from the traditional client/server model to systems based on the peer-to-peer paradigm, which let users share computational, storage and bandwidth resources. Moreover, the physical infrastructure is evolving towards some form of spontaneous cooperation of technologies, in order to support the creation of wireless ad hoc networks or wireless Community Networks. Thus, the well known engineering problem of delivering multimedia content through the Internet is evolving into the problem of how to dynamically create content distribution infrastructures and services. The purpose of this special issue is to publish high-quality papers on recent advances in the study of content distribution infrastructures with a special focus on infrastructures designed for serving Community Networks. Specifically, submissions are solicited for papers dealing with specification, design, performance evaluation and benchmarking of novel architectures and paradigms supporting Content Distribution in Community Networks where decentralization of content delivery is combined with self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing, and self-adapting solutions at all technical layers in order to minimize the need for human intervention. Topics of interest include, although are not limited to, the following: - Community networks infrastructures for content delivery - Mobility and nomadicity on community networks - New incentives models for community networks - Self-organization on community networks - P2P applications, services, systems, and overlays on community networks - Measurement, modeling, and performance characterization - Service oriented architectures for content delivery on community networks - Impact on the Future Media Internet - Testbeds, deployed scenarios and user experience studies Prospective authors must prepare their papers according to the "Guide to Authors" available at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit to http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing the Article Type: "SI-Content Distribution Infr.". Manuscripts should be clearly organized, written in good English and describe original research not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers must be in single-column format, double-spaced, and use at least 11 pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including references. Requests for further information may be addressed to the guest editors. Manuscript due: April 20, 2008 (FINAL DEADLINE, NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS !!!) Acceptance notification: June 16, 2008 Final revised manuscript due: August 15, 2007 Publication: December 2008 Guest editors Dr. Roberto Canonico, Università di Napoli "Federico II" Dra.
