CfP: 1st Workshop on Urban Networks and Applications (UNA ’08)
by Lars Wolf 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

1st Workshop on Urban Networks and Applications (UNA ’08) Lakeshore Hotel, Hsinchu, Taiwan, August 4-6, 2008 http://una.cs.ucc.ie held in conjunction with the 13th IEEE Asia-Pacific Computer Systems Architecture Conference http://www.ccrc.nthu.edu.tw/acsac2008 Urban settings are host of diverse networking technologies, from cellular and wired broadband to WiMAX, WiFi, Bluetooth and, more recently, mesh and sensor networks. While this rich environment offers opportunities for connectivity, inter-operability and sharing of services and resources, the co-existence of these heterogeneous technologies, competing for the same resources and offering similar services, poses difficult engineering and legal problems. For example, network planning is a major issue that can determine the effective use of each network and, when possible, inter-operability of the networks. Cities administrations are keen to deploy and take advantage of public service networks, whereas citizens are interested to use public or private services at home, at work or while driving or walking. Private initiatives may selectively focus on certain niche services. Overall, urban networks can increase the quality of life in cities and can make the distinction among cities. In achieving this goal, many technical challenges have to be tackled. This workshop will be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on new architectures, paradigms, concepts, service models and novel applications for urban networks. The topics for submission include but are not limited to: cognitive radio technologies congestion control micro- and pico-cell control architecture hybrid cell configuration sensor networks in urban settings personal area networks vehicular networks mesh networks mobile ad hoc networks networks planning networks inter-operability data mining of a large volume of data in urban networks database support for urban networks network and service discovery mobility supporting services context awareness mobile middleware ubiquitous and urban computing urban network systems and applications locative media and applications access, security and privacy in urban networks Submissions Both research and industry papers are solicited. Submitted papers should be original, unpublished work and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers reporting work in progress are welcome. Questions about the submission process should be directed to the workshop chair. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by members of the international program committee. Accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of ACSAC 2008, which is to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Papers are limited to 8 pages including figures and references and they must follow the IEEE 8.5"x11" two-column format guidelines described at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through https://www.softconf.com/starts/acsac2008/submit.html The publication of a paper requires at least one of the authors to register and be present at the conference. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected. Important dates Paper submissions due: March 20, 2008 Acceptance notification: April 30 2008 Final camera-ready due: May 10, 2008 Workshop Chair Dan Grigoras University College Cork, Ireland d.grigoras(a)cs.ucc.ie Workshop Publicity Chair Daniel Doolan University College Cork, Ireland d.doolan(a)cs.ucc.ie Program Committee Jemal Abawajy Deakin University, Australia Akira Arutaki NEC Communication Systems, Japan Antonio Capone Politecnico di Milano, Italy Valentin Cristea Politehnica University Bucharest, Romania Mario Gerla University of California, Los Angeles, USA Mads Haahr Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Diego López de Ipiña Deusto University, Spain Seung Jin Lim Utah State University, USA Chun-Yuan Lin Chang Gung University, Taiwan Alex Nicolau University of California, Irvine, USA Giovanni Pau University of California, Los Angeles, USA Gregor Schiele Mannheim University, Germany Cormac Sreenan University College Cork, Ireland Lars Wolf Technical University Braunschweig, Germany

28 Jan '08

Sincere apologies for receiving this CFP more than once The 8th International Conference on Next Generation Teletraffic and Wired/Wireless Advanced Networking NEW2AN 2008 http://www.new2an.org/ CALL FOR PAPERS About the Conference Next-generation mobile networks will evolve out of existing wired and wireless networks of different nature by means of convergence, fusion and mutual penetration; next-generation multimedia services in turn pose new requirements and challenges on treatment of traffic within communication systems – a certain degree of multilayer co-operation has to be achieved. This forms a framework on harmonization of results obtained separately in different areas of network research like network performance evaluation, architecture and protocol design, and low layer network design. The conference goal is in the identification, investigation and integration of new algorithms, approaches, architectures, methods and mechanisms to enable proper and efficient operation of a next-generation IP-based wireless network. Special emphasis will be given to next-generation traffic issues, it indeed remains true that much uncertainty surrounds the future traffic features and volumes, mainly because of converged type of traffic resulted from converged network operation under converged services and applications.
