-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP]Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) Datum: Sat, 3 Nov 2007 10:07:45 +0900 Von: Jung-Min Park <millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: TCCC <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for possible multiple copies] ================================================================== The First Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) April 4th, Berlin, Germany http://www.wmcnr.org in conjunction with 6th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt'08) March 31-April 4, Berlin, Germany http://www.wiopt.org Call for papers: http://www.wmcnr.org/CFP_WMCNR2008.pdf ================================================================== *** Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 *** Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org Call for Papers The wireless multihop communication has been one of key research issues in recent years both in academia and wireless industry. It encompasses ad hoc radio networks, sensor networks, wireless mesh networks and mobile multihop relay related to the industrial and standardization activities such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.15.4, 802.16j, etc. Further the multihop communications can be combined with cooperative communications and network coding, which attracted more researchers in this field. The idea behind such multihop communications is to utilize the availability of other nodes or to borrow their transmission capability. This in many cases exceeds the delay caused by the multihop relay, the gain from which is capacity enhancement as well as coverage extension of plain radio networks. Now we turn our attention to the robotics area. In these days, many researchers are noticing group behaviors found in small insects or animals such as ants, birds, and fish, trying to realize such behaviors into the control and coordination of a team of robots with their local interaction. The multiple (usually small) robots communicate each other, sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications. In this respect, wireless multihop communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information exchange. The main idea of this workshop is to bridge the above two areas (wireless multihop communications and networked robotics) by opening a place for researchers to meet and exchange their ideas. The workshop welcomes submissions on all aspects of the themes, which include (but not limited to) the following topics: - Communication architecture for collaborative robot systems - Biologically inspired swarm robotics with networking functionality - Multiple robot networking with mutihop- and cooperative communications - Network coding and wireless relay technologies for cooperative robotics - Learning and adaptation in cooperative environments - Applications of multi-robot network systems - Ad hoc robot networks - Cognitive communication technologies for inter-robot team work - Exploiting robot mobility in wireless relay networks - QoS support in networked robotics - Wireless multihop networks under node mobility ================================================================== Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: January 5, 2008 Camera-ready papers due: February 1, 2008 Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage : http://www.wmcnr.org Submission will be done through COCUS : http://cocus.create-net.it ================================================================= Workshop Chair: Seong-Lyun Kim, Yonsei Univ., Korea (slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr) Technical Programming Chairs: Riku Jantti, Helsinki Univ.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special issue of IEEE Network Magazine on Composable context aware services Datum: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 13:51:38 -0400 Von: Andrew T. Campbell <campbell(a)cs.dartmouth.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Hi Folks: Please consider submitting a paper. The submission deadline is fast approaching - November 10, 2007. Best, Andrew ==== Call for papers Special issue of IEEE Network Magazine on Composable context aware services Wireless networks are revolutionizing the world around us. Imagine going about your day, only carrying a small mobile “companion” device. Your companion is small but the world around you is replete with a variety of displays, IO peripherals, sensors, and storage devices. As you near these resources, your companion “borrows” some of them and instantly morphs itself into a full fledged computer. All this happens without the hassles of wires, with utmost simplicity, and robust security. Beyond connectivity, your companion knows you, understands your preferences, tracks your calendar, and even learns your habits. It's capable of taking actions appropriate to your current situations, with little or no inputs from you. The device provides uses that you need and makes use of what is around to provide a higher-level of computing experience. Scope of special issue The purpose of this special issue will be to present a landscape of the state-of-the-art in research and practice of networking for composable context aware computing and connectivity. This special issue will present a collection of articles which discuss (a) high-level software, applications, and middleware that are needed to create and support composable services, (b) design of network protocols and software stacks for automatic composition, (c) the impact of context awareness to simplify network configuration, and (d) Implications for network system architecture and design. Papers should bridge the gap from academic research to early experience or deployment of monitoring infrastructure as embedded network management entities. In particular, papers must fit the target audience of IEEE Network and, therefore, have content that has tutorial value and be comprehensive. Submissions should preferably address one of the following topics: Topics of interest include · High-level software and applications needed to support and provide composable services · Security and privacy issues in the context of composable services · Middleware infrastructure needed to bridge the gap between connectivity provided by underlying network protocols and high-level software that creates composable services. · Communication protocols and architectures for device ensembles/collection of devices (set up, discovery, performance optimizations) · Security architectures for device introduction and setup · Wireless device composition – system architecture, design, and implications of communications of wireless devices for such environments (except the physical layer aspects of such devices such as antenna design) · Integration of location awareness into communications stack and mobility · Application of context-based inferencing to adapt in the presence of accessibility to multiple communication networks · Architecture and structure of applications that use collaborative network sensing to create context-aware applications · Challenges and solutions in constructing applications that can dynamically compose and provide a service based on the resources available in the immediate vicinity · Novel approaches to network management and operation esp. in the context of mobile, wireless networks · System architecture tradeoffs of communication vs computation to support a variety of devices and form factors in the composable/context aware environments · Implications of context awareness to WPAN-, WLAN-, WMAN- and cellular-based networks · Sensory issues such as composing or inferring user context from multiple sensor data Manuscript submission Authors must submit their manuscript (single column, double-spaced) electronically in PDF format by email to Raj Yavatkar (raj.yavatkar(a)intel.com) before the deadline. The manuscript should be written in single column, double-spaced, in accordance to the guidelines of the IEEE network magazine (http:// www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/).

With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: Multi-radio and ?multi-channel wireless mesh networking Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols Quality of Services provisioning Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks Network deployment, localization, and synchronization Topology construction and maintenance Modeling and performance evaluations Cross layer optimizations Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks Vehicular mesh and ad hoc networks Wireless sensor networks Self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems Important Dates --------------- Paper submission due: December 7, 2007 Acceptance notification: February 11, 2008 Camera-ready due: March 9, 2008 Workshop: June 20, 2008 Submissions and Publications ---------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ATC-08 Call for papers Datum: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 21:04:05 +0100 Von: ATC'08 Program Chair <atc08(a)atilf.no> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ##################### ATC-08 Call For Papers ###################### The 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing - Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality - http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/ Organized by Oslo University College and University of Stavanger, Norway Technical Sponsorship by the IEEE Task Force on Intelligent Ubiquitous Computing Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008 ################################################################### Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing dramatically in both scale and heterogeneity, becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled emergence. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-08 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-08 is a successor of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria), the 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, China), and the 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07, Hong Kong). Topics include but are not limited to the following: - AC/OC Theory and Models Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition, self-organization, emergence, etc. - AC/OC Architectures and Systems Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc. - AC/OC Components and Modules Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc. - AC/OC Communication and Services Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. - AC/OC Tools and Interfaces Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. - Trust Models and Specifications Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. - Trust-related Security and Privacy Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. - Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. - Trustworthy Services and Applications Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secured mobile services, novel applications, etc. - Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. == IMPORTANT DATES == Submission Deadline: January 05, 2008 Authors Notification: March 05, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: April 05, 2008 Workshop under "midnight sun" at Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway June 26-28, 2008 == ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION == Prepare your paper according to the LNCS style maximum 15 pages in PDF file. Submit your paper(s) at the ATC-08 submission site: http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/sub/ == PAPER PUBLICATION == Accepted papers are planned to be published by Lecture Note in Computer Science (LNCS). The page limit of the final camera-ready paper will be announced in the paper acceptance notification. At least one of authors of an accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the conference; otherwise the paper will be removed from the digital library after the conference. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in special issues of the Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing (JoATC), and the International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking (IJHPCN). == Organizing Committees == General Chairs Chunming Rong, University of Stavanger, Norway Jianying Zhou, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Frode Eika Sandnes, Oslo University College, Norway Program Chairs Martin Gilje Jaatun, SINTEF, Norway Xiaolin (Andy) Li, Oklahoma State University, USA Geng Yang, Nanjing University of Post & Telecommunications, China Program Vice Chairs Tadashi Dohi, Hiroshima University, Japan Hein Meling, University of Stavanger, Norway Jean-Marc Seigneur, University of Geneva, Switzerland Stephen R.
