[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on "Practical Aspects of Mobility in Wireless Self-Organizing Networks"]
by Lars Wolf 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on "Practical Aspects of Mobility in Wireless Self-Organizing Networks" Datum: Tue, 08 Jan 2008 11:15:38 +0100 Von: Marcelo Dias de Amorim <Marcelo.Amorim(a)lip6.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please apologize for multiple copies. ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ******************** IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Practical aspects of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks" ********************************************************** Wireless and mobile computing advanced significantly in the last decade. In particular, we now face the possibility to spontaneously establish wireless self- organizing networks, such as ad hoc, disruption-tolerant, sensor, and wireless mesh networks. These spontaneous self-organizing networks have been the focus of intensive research activity in recent years. Spontaneous networks arise from the cooperation of mobile devices in an ad hoc fashion requiring no previous infrastructure in place. A key point to couple research and real-life applications in this context is to understand how mobility (of devices, users, and applications) impacts practical networking aspects. The knowledge accumulated so far in the area of wireless self-organizing networks is in general supported by either simulation or theoretical analysis relying on strong assumptions. The research community needs a step forward and should definitely consider real aspects of mobility in their protocols and algorithms. Such a situation is to be compared with the one found for infrastructure-based networks (e.g., cellular networks), in which mobility has been thoroughly investigated (both theoretically and through measurements) and properly incorporated in their management architecture. In wireless self-organizing networks, contrary to common belief, much is still to be done in this domain, and definitive solutions are still to emerge. Mobility can no longer be seen as an issue to be hidden from higher layers of the protocol stack, but as an expected characteristic of today's communication systems. In this context, it is of utmost importance to address issues related to the impact of mobility as seen in practice, covering characterization, modeling, and applications of mobility in modern wireless networks. The research community working on wireless self-organizing networks has recently started giving more attention to the practical mobility issues in this area. This may be attested by the increasing number of initiatives worldwide like the many measurement campaigns and the considerable body of developed theoretical background work supported by practical arguments (e.g., mobility models, mobility increasing network capacity, relationship between node mobility and wireless channel conditions). The goal of this special issue is to help filling this gap by presenting contributions ranging from the impact of mobility on self-organizing networks to mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. As we intend to focus on the practical impacts of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks, papers presenting insights from the applicability of mobility measurements and realistic mobility models in this context are also expected. We will be particularly interested in contributions that explore mobility to improve the behavior of network protocols and algorithms. We are soliciting papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics: * Mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. * Impact of mobility on self-organizing networks. * Practical applicability of wireless testbeds and mobility measurements. * Realistic mobility models for self-organizing networks. * Mobility-centric killer applications. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.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 email to wmag(a)rp.lip6.fr. SCHEDULE * Manuscript Submission Due: February 15, 2008 * Acceptance Notification: June 30, 2008 * Final Manuscript Due: July 30, 2008 * Publication: December 2008 GUEST EDITORS Marcelo Dias de Amorim Université Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 6, France Email: amorim(a)rp.lip6.fr Artur Ziviani National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC), Brazil Email: ziviani(a)lncc.br Yannis Viniotis North Carolina State University, USA Email: candice(a)ncsu.edu Leandros Tassiulas University of Thessaly, Greece Email: leandros(a)inf.uth.gr _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM SIGCOMM 2008 -- Call for Posters and Demos Datum: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 15:00:01 -0600 (CST) Von: Yin Zhang <yzhang(a)cs.utexas.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ACM SIGCOMM 2008 -- Call for Posters and Demos ============================================== 1. Call For Posters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This year we will be repeating the very popular poster session aimed at showcasing work in progress. This is an opportunity to present and discuss current work in an informal setting during the SIGCOMM 2008 conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference CFP. Although anyone can submit a poster, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Posters will be reviewed by members of the SIGCOMM Poster Session Committee. At the conference, student posters must be presented by a student. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2008 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. Why Should You Submit a Poster? ------------------------------- This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition a small number of submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newletter, the ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Travel Grants for Student Posters --------------------------------- Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants. What is a Poster? ----------------- We define a poster to be A0 paper size to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively you can use the space as a continuum. You can arrange the space and orient the poster either horizontally or vertically. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. What and Where to Submit ------------------------ You need to submit a two-page abstract (font at least 11pt) describing the work to "sigcomm08-posters at maillists.intel-research.net". The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. Optional: if available, the poster itself can be included in the email if it is small (<1.5M) else it can be made available at a URL in pdf format. The poster may be consulted at the discretion of the reviewers. The abstract should identify the key contribution of the work being presented in the poster. In addition, it should describe the particular problem being addressed, what makes this problem interesting or important, and what your approach is to the problem. We recommend that you use the ACM conference style for preparing your abstract. Include the title, authors, institutional affiliations, status (student, faculty, and so on) of each author and an email address of the contact author. In the final version of the abstract, you should also include a URL that will provide additional information about your work to the attendees. Your abstract should not exceed the page limit; longer submissions will not be considered for review. Your submission will be acknowledged by email within four days after you submit. Please remember that the abstract should be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees in addition to the conference proceedings. Accepted poster authors will have about a month to revise their abstract prior to printing. For the posters, we will provide poster board and glue for mounting the posters. The SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo Committee will select between 15 and 30 of the most interesting and thought-provoking posters. Posters Important Dates (Tentative) ----------------------------------- * Submission Deadline May 2, 2008 * Acceptance Notification May 30, 2008 2. Call for Demos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proposals for research demonstrations and exhibits are strongly solicited. Research demonstrations should be innovative research prototypes that show new research related to the topics included in the SIGCOMM conference CFP. Demos Submission Instructions ----------------------------- Submit a summary of the proposed demo (maximum of 3 pages, including figures if needed) to sigcomm08-demos at maillists.intel-research.net. Your submission will be acknowledged by the SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo chair, Dina Papagiannaki. The summary should include: * Goals of the demo and the basic idea that it supports. * Any related publications or technical reports. * Equipment to be used for the demo. * Space needed. * Setup time required. * Additional facilities needed including power and Internet/wireless access. * Indicate a URL with any extra information, if needed. * Indicate whether the demo is eligible for the student travel grant by identifying the lead student(s) and their affiliations. In addition to student submissions, we also solicit non-student demos and exhibits that will be of interest to the community. All demo proposals will be reviewed by the SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo committee. A number of demos may be invited for publication as extended abstracts at ACM SIGCOMM's newsletter, the ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (CCR).

[Tccc] [CFP] Workshop on Smart Sensing and Situation Awareness in Sensor Networks
by WenZhan Song 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Workshop on Smart Sensing and Situation Awareness in Sensor Networks http://conferences.theiet.org/ie08/workshop.htm#smart Submission deadline: January 31th, 2008 Conference date: July 21-22, 2008, Seattle WA, USA The aim of this workshop is to stimulate research on smart sensing and situation awareness related topics in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Sensor network can be said to be the nerve system of our engineering network world, extracting and transmitting useful and timely information reliably for efficient decision support and quick corrective actions. Examples of end-to-end sensor applications include: cargo monitoring systems in a harbor that check containers in a WSN equipped ship for detecting dangerous chemical substances, locating stowaways, or calculating import duties; environmental monitoring systems, such as volcano monitoring and structure monitoring sensor network, that provides domain scientists high resolution views of environments; transport systems that route traffic using real-time data monitored by sensor-enabled cars; emergency management systems that can detect bushfires; smart home environments that enable remote monitoring of residents, early detection of emergency situations and enhancement of quality of life and safety. However, different applications have different context and mission needs, hence developing and deploying end-to-end applications for sensor networks in a realistic business context remains highly complex. Unlike traditional communication networks, a sensor network is to provide a high degree of visibility into environmental physical processes, not to provide any-to-any communications. Consequently, it requires an end-to-end approach that handles the WSN as a whole rather than as a group of individual nodes. The sensor network design therefore shall be fully context and situation-aware, and target to maximize mission returns with given resource constraints. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Environmental context and situation awareness Resource discovery and management Cross layering and resource awareness (Distributed) compressed sensing and data aggregation Data fusion, storage and management Effective naming and device/service discovery in end-to-end WSNs Failure resilience and fault isolation Sensor network management Overlay and topology management Sensor mobility and heterogeneity, and smart sensor device drivers Localization, time synchronization Security and privacy Integration with back-end systems such as web-based information systems, process control, and enterprise software Sensor network planning, provisioning, calibration and deployment Deployment experience and testbeds Experimental methodology, including measurement, simulation, and emulation infrastructure Analysis of real-world systems and fundamental limits Technical Program Committee Matt Welsh, Harvard University, USA Guanling Chen, University of Massachusetts at Lowell, USA Yu Wang, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA Xiuzhen Cheng, George Washington University, USA Guihai Chen, Nanjing University, China Weicao Wang, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA Gianluca Bontempi, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium Prasanta Bose, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, USA Ali Hurson - Penn State University, USA Mohan Kumar - University of Texas at Arlington, USA Yu Jiao - Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA Ben Lee - Oregon State University, USA HB Chen - Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA Krishna Kavi, Univ of North Texas, USA Instructions for Manuscripts Authors are requested to submit a PDF file for their manuscript following the submission guideline available at http://conferences.theiet.org/ie08/author.htm .

Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection, emergency and crisis intervention, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity and emergent behaviors. MCN should comprise the best possible networking technology, infrastructure and services that may alleviate the risk and help save the lives of both the general public and the network users. As advances in pervasive computing, wireless communication, ad hoc and mesh networking and networked sensor systems continue, more opportunities are being opened to mission-critical networks to benefit from these technologies. A primary challenge to the operations of mission-critical networks is to deploy a communication network that is dependable, autonomic, secure, and rapidly deployable. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of authorized and unauthorized entities, audio and video communication, secure emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, visual analytics, and service-oriented architecture. Another key feature for mission-critical networking is to support interactions among multiple heterogeneous networks. This workshop solicits high quality technical contributions to the area of mission-critical networking. The manuscript must explicitly address relevance to MCN. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: . Smart environments and infrastructures . Rapidly deployable services and networks . Vehicular networks . Body sensor networks . Cognitive and autonomic networks, protocols, and services . Ubiquitous networking and services . Security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and trade-offs . Sensor and actuator networks for information gathering and real-time control . Decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation . Trust management, security, interoperability, survivability and QoS support . Context-aware network and service management . Location determination and tracking . Energy efficiency .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPRINGER - ANNALS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS Special Issue on Inter-Domain Routing and QoS over Heterogeneous Networks http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/CFP-Annal… Important Dates Manuscripts Submission: January 31st, 2008. Acceptance Notification: April 30, 2008. Final Revised Manuscripts Due: June 1st, 2008. Expected Publication: Fall 2008. Call for Papers Today, the Internet is the most important communication infrastructure of our society. It enables users across the world to access and exchange information. Intra-domain routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), that work within an Autonomous System (AS) or domain have been studied extensively by the scientific community. The other class of routing protocols, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), or Inter-Domain Routing Protocol (IDRP), which recently received a lot of attention, is inter-domain routing, where traffic needs to be routed among distinct AS. Many types of intra-domain routing algorithms have been proposed, including those based on shortest-path, centralized, distributed, flow-based, state-dependent, etc., to solve the challenge of optimal use of network resources. This challenge is further exacerbated by emerging QoS requirements of end-to-end applications (such as VoIP, Video conferencing, etc) for highly heterogeneous environments consisting of distinct AS. Due to the increasing number of AS, and the large number of connections per AS to the network, inter-domain routing solutions, based largely on routing protocol such as the BGP, suffer from several limitations when applied to deploy global QoS routing protocols. Such solutions often show serious insufficiencies in a highly heterogeneous Internet infrastructure consisting of different wired or wireless AS. The QoS routing over different types of AS should handle both, the different QoS provisioning mechanisms as well as the required service specifications. However, cooperation among AS is generally based on independent management relationships amongst organizations and are often expressed as a simple policy-based routing with different understandings of QoS. This requires that inter and intra routing schemes have to be coordinated to guarantee QoS requirements with respect to service level agreement, which is a highly limiting factor on the scalability of future solutions. This special issue focuses on QoS routing, control policies, traffic engineering and explore their effectiveness when deployed over heterogeneous AS (for more details, see Scope of Contributions Section). We hope that the state-of-the-art results presented in this issue will provide further insight into novel QoS approaches that support mobility, scalability, connectivity and safety over the heterogeneous Internet infrastructure composed of multiple different AS. For this Special issue, we seek original research or survey articles that explore novel approaches, algorithms, architectures, designs, and implementations to address research issues and challenges in the area of inter-domain QoS routing. Scope of Contributions Authors are encouraged to submit papers addressing all aspects of inter-domain Quality of Service (QoS) routing approaches and related topics with concrete experimental studies to show the validity of their approach using different types of Autonomous Systems (AS). Papers submitted for consideration should describe original research not published or currently under review by other journals and conferences. Parallel submissions will not be accepted. We solicit papers covering the following topics but not limited to: · Hierarchical QoS Routing · Inter-AS QoS Adaptation and Measurements, Inter-AS QoS Analysis and Modeling · Policy-Based Management in inter-AS QoS Routing and Security · Inter-AS QoS specification, translation, and adaptation · Inter-AS Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Service Level Specification (SLS) issues · Dynamic state-dependent QoS Policies · Stateless QoS Routing Frameworks · Constraint-based Path Selection Algorithms · Inter-AS QoS Traffic shaping and Traffic Management · Complexity, Stability, Performance of Inter-AS QoS Routing Approaches · Inter-AS QoS Constraints, Scalability, Robustness, and Reactivity · Economic models of Inter-AS Routing Policies on Pricing and Billing · Standardization issues Manuscript submission: Authors must submit their manuscript (single column, double-spaced) electronically in PDF format by email to the corresponding guest editor (mellouk(a)univ-paris12.fr) before the deadline. Please also include information about the manuscript (title, complete list of authors, corresponding author's contact, abstract, and keywords) in the body of your submission email message. Articles are expected to be in English, 15-25 pages each and will be peer reviewed by at least three experts working in the areas.
