At the same time, the Internet architecture struggles to incorporate the functionality that will sustain this increasingly more mobile and more dynamic Internet use. Efficient mobility management and mobility optimizations, locator-identifier splits, multihoming, security and related network operation and management functions are still in the early stages of development. It is, however, already clear that supporting widespread mobility poses to significantly impact the original end-to-end design of the Internet. At the same time, critical momentum is building to significantly revise or even replace the current Internet architecture. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, and the topic is also actively being discussed in the vendor and network operator communities. These Future Internet efforts offer the exciting opportunity to design radically different approaches to supporting host and network mobility and multihoming, and may eventually lead to an internetwork architecture with significantly more advanced mobility features than those that the piecemeal extensions of the current Internet protocols result in. MobiArch'08 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent advances in architectures, protocols and emerging technologies to enable mobility and multihoming in the Internet, as well as concepts and designs to support widespread mobility and multihoming in future internetworks. Early results, position papers, systems and measurement papers are particularly welcome. TOPICS MobiArch'08 covers all aspects related to mobility in the current and future Internet, including, but not limited to: * Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers of the Internet protocol stack, as well as cross-layer approaches * Novel concepts to support widespread mobility and multihoming in a Future Internet * Routing and addressing issues (including locator/identifier splits) and their impact on the Internet architecture * Multihoming, including flow distribution and load-sharing for wireless and mobility * Performance evaluation, experimentation and modeling of Internet mobility * Models for mobility patterns and their experimental validation * New wireless technologies and services and their impact on the Internet architecture * Location management, positioning and data management for wireless and mobility * Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and their impact on the Internet architecture * Social, economic, scalability and deployment issues SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions must be no longer than six pages, including all figures and references, must be in PDF format, and must follow the ACM formatting guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submissions that do not adhere to these requirements will be rejected without further review. Peer review is single-blind; the authors names and affiliations are to be included on the submission. Submissions cannot be previously published or be under concurrent review elsewhere. The submission of position papers is encouraged; please clearly identify position papers as such when submitting.

Extended Deadline to March 8- CFP: IEEE Network Special Issue on Implications and Control of Middleboxes in the Internet
by Xiaoming Fu 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please feel free to forward this CFP to related colleagues and students for information. --------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Implications and Control of Middleboxes in the Internet Important Dates =============== Manuscript Submission Due: March 8, 2008 (FIRM) Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: July 15, 2008 Special Issue Publication Date: September/October 2008 Call for Papers =============== Network Address Translators (NAT) and IP firewalls have been introduced to the Internet some time ago, and over the time become an integral part of the Internet architecture. Moreover, there are also other types of middleboxes, such as Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateways, Application Layer Gateways (ALG), Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEP) and web proxies. These intermediary boxes perform functions different from normal IP packet treatment, which can even change the content of packets or do rerouting of IP packets. There have been diverse views on the value of middleboxes. Some believe that middleboxes introduce problems for network applications as well as challenges to the traditional end-to-end Internet architecture. These issues range, for instance, but not limited to, from naming and addressing of nodes behind NATs, directionality of communication establishment, and performance impairments. On the other hand, many administrators and operators see the middleboxes represent an important part for their network operations. For example, firewalls are widely deployed with the intention of securing enterprise, campus and home networks, so as to block attacks to nodes or keep nodes from sending malicious traffic. The Internet community has acknowledged the emergence of the middleboxes and developed middlebox control and coordination protocols that allow end hosts (or application proxies) to learn about the presence of middleboxes and communicate their needs (i.e. required packet treatment) to those devices. A number of middlebox control protocols, such as UPnP, MIDCOM and STUN, have been developed over the years and are partially used in current deployments. The papers in this special issue will focus on the state-of-the-art research in various aspects of middleboxes and middlebox control mechanisms, which help to understand their impact to the Internet architecture and network operations, and how they can be further integrated, or leveraged for different purposes, such as load balancing and mobile network environments, among the others. Specifically, within the aforementioned context in Internet middleboxes and their control mechanisms, the special issue will present tutorials, surveys and original research articles (written in a tutorial manner readable by non-specialists) that cover the following subjects, but not limited to: * Middlebox-supported network architectures vs. other Internet evolution alternatives (e.g., IPv6) * Design and/or performance evaluation of middlebox software architectures * Control and coordination across middleboxes and their traversal mechanisms * Security, including authentication, authorization and accounting issues with middlebox control/traversal mechanisms * Scalability and performance studies of middlebox control/traversal mechanisms * Deployment scenarios and case studies (corporate, ISP, content providers, mobile environments etc.) based on middleboxes * Interaction and implications with other network protocols and components * Interaction and implications with end-to-end applications and services * Related standardization efforts Manuscript Submission ===================== With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html. Submitted papers must be original and must not be under current consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should submit a PDF format of their complete papers via http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6198.

[Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2008)
by Chia Ching Ooi 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. =================================================== Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2008) http://cone.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/wewsn08/ In conjuction with DCOSS 2008 Santorini Island, Greece, June 11-14 =================================================== A typical wireless sensor network is expected to work without human intervention for a long time period. Hence, energy is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks in order to achieve maximum network lifetime. Due to the energy constraint of sensor devices, wireless sensor network necessitates an energy-aware design to ensure the longevity of the network. While most wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices, new technologies like energy harvesting have been emerging and getting much attention in the research community recently. In addition, each layer of the protocol stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy while the hardware designs of motes can focus on extending its lifetime. This workshop intends to bring together the researchers working on energy-related issues in wireless sensor network. WEWSN will be held as a one-day workshop in conjuction with DCOSS '08, co-locating with several related workshops on special topics, including the Workshop on Localized Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (LOCALGOS), the Workshop on Information Theory for Sensor Networks (WITS), the Workshop on Sensor Network Engineering (IWSNE), the Workshop on Wireless Sensor Network Deployments (WiDeploy). Therefore, the workshop aims at providing an ideal venue for researchers to share their ideas and discuss their latest research works. SCOPE Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to energy in wireless sensor network. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following featured topics: * Architectures for energy management * Node deployment * Sleep management algorithms * Coverage and connectivity algorithms * Energy models, conservation, optimization * Energy and bandwidth efficient distributed signal processing algorithms * Topology control * Routing algorithm, data collection, congestion control, resource management * Energy scavenging, energy harvesting * Medium access control, error control protocols * Traffic management protocol * Energy-efficient system services (e.g. localization, time synchronization) * WSN hardware and operating systems PAPER SUBMISSIONS We only accept original papers that have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions have to conform to the IEEE-Transactions format and should not exceed 7 pages. All submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair. The use of LATEX typesetting is highly recommended. It is your responsibility to make sure that the manuscript is free of printing problem. At least one of the author(s) of each accepted paper must attend the workshop and present the paper. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: March 25, 2008 Notification of acceptance: April 25, 2008 Camera-ready version: May 15, 2008 Workshop date: June 14, 2008 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: Christian Schindelhauer, Univ. of Freiburg, Germany PROGRAM COMMITTEE Davide Brunelli, University of Bologna, Italy Syed Ali Khayam, NUST Institute of Information Technology, Pakistan Pedro José Marron, University of Bonn and Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany Hiroyuki Morikawa, The University of Tokyo, Japan Hartmut Ritter, Free University Berlin, Germany Kay Uwe Römer, ETH Zürich, Switzerland Kurt Rothermel, Universität Stuttgart, Germany Stefan Rührup, Univ. of Freiburg, Germany Muneeb Ali, TU Delft, The Netherlands Zartash A.

Ad hoc wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity with complete lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The last few years have witnessed a wealth ofresearch ideas on ad hoc and sensor networks that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. Such networks can be randomly and rapidly deployed and reconfigured and easily tailored to specific applications including entertainment! , civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance due to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication. Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop to multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several challenges face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous deployment of ad hoc and sensor networks. These include variable topology, device heterogeneity, limited power supply and the lack of effective energy-efficient design, lack of QoS and application support,etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas amongresearchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks. S!
