CALL FOR PAPERS: Second IEEE CogNet 2008 Workshop 'Towards Cognition in Wireless Networks' Sponsored by IEEE ComSoc Technical Sub-committee on Cognitive Networks (http://ieee-cognet.org) Scope of the Workshop Recently we have been witnessing an unbounded growth in communication technology; in particular, wireless devices have been proliferating. There is a serious demand for spectrum to support the communication needs of all these devices. At the same time, many researchers are developing methodologies to sieve the unused spectrum. There are already many solutions proposed under the 'Cognitive Radio' (CR) umbrella that address this issue. The efforts by IEEE 1900 Working Group and various researchers are blazing a trail in the direction of intelligently using the spectrum available locally for communication needs, making Cognitive Radio Networking (CRN) one of the promising candidates for future communication. They are usually in terms of architecture, sensing, optimization, resource allocation, cross layer issues, etc. However, an end user requires a system that is capable of intelligently finding and handling the available frequency band without any compromise on the QoS. Thus there is a need for the community to look at the whole issue holistically such that these solutions, results and proposals can lead to the rapid deployment of Cognitive Radio. The need is to bring together all the efforts resulting in a cohesive approach. This workshop will enable such a platform. We select, from the submissions, a small set of papers discussing novel ideas that should not only analyze the issues in a CRN but also incorporate a clear direction towards the implementation of the CRN systems. This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners and the early proponents of CR. This workshop will be planned so as to allow more interactions amongst the participants rather than a conference would allow. CRW paradigm has been trying also to gain industrial relevance through the Cognitive Radio work done especially in the USA. The workshop aims to bring in together both long-term academic and shorter term industrial viewpoints. Topics of Interest * Architectures for Hardware and Software defined CR * Regulatory policies for non-centralized spectrum management * Enforcement of policies for CR devices * Pricing and billing for CR devices * Authorization and authentication of CR devices * Novel Dynamic/Opportunistic Spectrum Access techniques * MAC and Network layer management in CR context * Cross-layer optimization of CRWN (Cognitive Radio Wireless Networks) * End-to-End modeling of CRWN * Security of CRWN * Applications of CR, i.e., CR for Personal Area Networks * Spectrum Sensing and Quality of Detection * Signal Processing for CRWN * Game Theoretical Analysis of CRWN * Error correction and coding for CR * Testbeds, Experiences of CR implementations Organizing Committee * Ignas Niemegeers (General Chairperson), Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands * Joseph Evans (Vice General Chairperson), University of Kansas, USA * R.

[Tccc] CfP: Special Session on Decentralized and Self-Organizing IT-Infrastructures for Crisis Response and Management - ISCRAM2008
by Nicolas C. Liebau 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message... +-------------------------------------------------------------+ Call for Papers SPECIAL ACADEMIC SESSION ON * Decentralized and Self-Organizing IT-Infrastructure * * for Crisis Response and Management * http://www.quap2p.tu-darmstadt.de/de/events/iscram-2008/ Session ID: INT-03 at ISCRAM 2008 The 5th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Washington, DC, USA May 4-7, 2008 http://www.iscram.org +-------------------------------------------------------------+ Motivation Recent crisis like the recent Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and Hurricane Katrina demand quick first response organization as well as a high number of participating helpers and organizations. These two requirements are naturally supported by decentralized and self-organizing IT-infrastructures. While p2p systems like Groove achieve an easy way of enabling communication between heterogeneous first response teams. There are crucial inefficiencies in terms of network resource utilization, which is a vitally important requirement in crisis response situations. There are still numerous open topics necessary to put crisis response and management software on a solid technical base. Focus for this special session is the technical management of distributed crisis response systems. The areas covered by this session are listed below. Additional contributions concerning crisis response systems that are not explicitly mentioned but fit into the scope of this session are welcomed as well. Research Area The technical challenges for a successful deployment of a Crisis Response and Management System can be divided in three main areas. --------------------------------------------------------- Crisis Management Applications --------------------------------------------------------- Decentralized and Self-organizing IT Infrastructure --------------------------------------------------------- TCP/IP-based Communication Layer --------------------------------------------------------- While the base for communication, shown as TCP/IP based communication layer is crucial for a successful deployment of a Crisis Response System, the main focus of this special session is the second layer "Decentralized and Self Organizing IT infrastructure". The underlying TCP/IP based communication layer becomes increasingly more a commodity product while intelligent replica placement, distributed storage, service discovery, access control and context awareness need to be provided by the second layer. Based on the available services and infrastructure of the second layer the top layer provides various user interfaces to the deployed services. While all three layers are needed for a successful deployment of a Crisis Response and Management System, the main focus of this session is on the design of the second layer. Topics . Overlay networks specialized for Decentralized Crisis Response and Management . Decentralized service discovery . Distributed information storage and retrieval . Decentralized and self-organizing mechanisms for replica management . Decentralized location awareness . Group membership and access control . Simulation environments for "Decentralized and Self-Organizing IT-Infrastructures for Crisis Response and Management" . Decentralized Crisis Response and Management Systems . Systems Implications on Policy and Organizational Structures . Case Studies on "Decentralized and Self-Organizing IT-Infrastructures" *Important ISCRAM 2008 Dates:* December 21, 2007: Paper submission deadline February 10, 2008: Notification of (conditional) acceptance February 22, 2008: Early registration deadline March 1, 2008: Final camera-ready paper submission deadline May 4-7, 2008: ISCRAM 2008 Session Chairs: .

12 Nov '07

The First International Workshop on Applications of Ad hoc and Sensor Networks (AASNET '08) is held in conjunction with AINA 2008 22nd IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications http://www.ccse.kfupm.edu.sa/~tarek/AASNET.htm Wireless mobile ad hoc and sensor network nodes have limited battery capacity. Hence, they tend to be energy conservative. Many MAC, routing protocols, scheduling scheme were proposed to promote energy conservation without degrading the performance of the network. Nonetheless, nowadays, many real-time applications have been proposed and developed using ad hoc and sensor networks. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress and challenges in the area of real time applications in ad hoc and sensor networks. We encourage contributions that describe innovative work and results on AASNET. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: Energy-aware routing protocols Energy-aware scheduling techniques Energy-aware MAC protocols Artificial intelligence applications in ad hoc and sensor networks Sensor networks for oil and gas industry Mobility tracking schemes in ad hoc networks Voice over ad hoc networks Multimedia over sensor networks Machine leaning schemes for ad hoc and sensor networks Intrusion detection systems in ad hoc and sensor networks Telehealth monitoring system using ad hoc and sensor networks Papers of high quality will be invited to submit extended version of their papers for publication in a special issue of an international journal.
