Interest has been fueled by advances that promise exponential gains in the error performance of networks with reduced structure, little central oversight, and limited computational capabilities. The research area's utility and challenging nature is demonstrated both by the contributions from a variety of disciplines, such as information theory, discrete mathematics, game theory and finance, as well as from the effort to unify the above and to bring forth the inherent complexities of multi-terminal communication and interaction. In pace with the above challenges, the workshop will promote new results which explore the theoretical limitations of network communications, propose novel network coding schemes, present relaying methods and cooperation protocols, and investigate fundamental tradeoffs between cooperation and competition for resource allocation. The aim being to provide the participants with an in-depth and unifying exposition to the complex nature of analyzing, coding, cooperating and competing in wireless networks, the workshop will seek to expose the intricacies of multi-terminal network theory and the advanced mathematical structures that support network communication and interactions. TOPICS OF INTEREST In the framework of communication, cooperation and competition over wireless networks, papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following directions. ? Cooperative diversity ? Network coding techniques ? Information theoretic bounds ? Stochastic network optimization ? Queueing theoretic aspects ? Application of game theory tools ?

[Tccc] [CFP] WMCNR 2008 Deadline extension - 25th November

15 Nov '07

[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 25, 2007 (Extended) *** Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org *** Submission should be done through COCUS : http://cocus.create-net.it 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 25, 2007 (Extended) 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 should 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.

To meet these challenges, system designers can resort to a number of tools and techniques at PHY, MAC or higher layers of the protocol stack. In order to increase the network efficiency (Bit/Sec/Hz per Euro/Dollar) while providing the required QoS, a more efficient utilization of the spectral resource across the network will be required. Smart resource allocation schemes should help provide the customer with a smooth user experience while efficiently tackling interference issues in agressive reuse environment, whether in cellular or adhoc scenarios. Ideally, they should be aware, i.e. jointly designed with lower layer algorithms (multiple antenna systems, spatial division multiple access, OFDMA, multi-cell cooperative coding) and potentialy upper layers as well (transport/routing/application). ----------------- IMPORTANT DATES ----------------- Paper submission deadline : November 26, 2007 Notification of acceptance : January 21, 2008 Camera-ready papers due : February 21, 2008 Early registration deadline : March 1, 2008 -------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST -------------------- This workshop seeks original work within the fields described by (but not limited to) the bullets below: - User scheduling (single cell /multicell /OFDMA); - Cross-layer design (e.g. combined MIMO - Resource allocation schemes) - Power control and energy-efficient communication; - Resource allocation-based interference mitigation; - Cooperation schemes for interference control, range extension (multicell, multihop cooperation); - Performance evaluation methods for wireless networks; - Game theoretic resource allocation; - Pricing-based, auction-based schemes in ad-hoc/cellular networks; - Fairness vs. performance issues ----------------- INVITED SPEAKERS ----------------- - Olivier Lévêque (EPFL) ----------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ----------------------- Paper submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rawnet2008).

[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Secure Multimedia Communication
by Yan ZHANG 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Wiley Journal: Security and Communication Network (SCN) Call for Paper Special Issue: Secure Multimedia Communication http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/CFP/SCN-SIcfp.htm Background ========== With the rapid progress in information technology and an enormous amount of media appearing over Internet, e.g. text, audio, speech, music, image and video, guaranteeing information security is becoming increasingly important. Several pivotal challenges include copyright protection, integrity verification, authentication, and access control etc. As a consequence, the subject of security protection in multimedia communication has attracted intensive research activities in academia, industry and also government. Multimedia data like images, audios or videos are different from plain text. They are often of large volumes and are compressed in order to save the storage cost and bandwidth. Due to such requirement and property, the media protection mechanisms for images, audios or videos are significantly different from the ones for text or binary data. With the recent advances in network and multimedia technology, the applications in commercial scenario become increasing crucial. There is an increasing trend in the multimedia content distribution from the central service provider to the individuals, e.g. video-on-demand, IPTV and p2p sharing. In these applications, piracy is becoming a critical issue. Solutions are needed to protect the copyright of multimedia content. During the past decades, schemes have been reported for secure multimedia communication, e.g., key management, multimedia encryption, authentication, digital watermarking, digital fingerprinting, access control and digital rights management. These techniques are able to protect multimedia content's confidentiality, integrity, ownership, traitor traceability. In addition, in different networks such as Internet, 3G wireless, DVB-H and p2p, different secure protocols and algorithms are required to provide the system security. All these topics are in active development. This special issue aims to expose the readership of SCN to the latest research results on secure multimedia communication. The issue focuses on secure transmission or distribution of multimedia content. Topics ======== Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: . Copyright techniques . Digital rights management for multimedia . Secure multimedia transcoding in communication . Secure media streaming . Secure multimedia content sharing in P2P network . Broadcast encryption and authentication . Security in multimedia message sending . Security in mobile TV . Security in IPTV . Attacks and prevention in multimedia communication .

14 Nov '07

[We apologize if you received multiple copies of this call for papers. Please feel free to distribute it to others who might be interested.] Call for Papers IEEE International Communications Conference (ICC) 2008 19-23 May 2008, Beijing, China Workshop on Cooperative Communications and Networking: Theory, Practice and Applications Scope: Cooperative communications and networking for wireless systems has recently attracted enormous attention. Unlike conventional point-to-point communications, cooperative communications and networking offers tremendous advantages such as allowing users or nodes to share resource to create collaboration through distributed transmission and processing. Cooperative communication and networking is a new paradigm offering significant reliability and spectral efficiency gains in wireless systems. It realizes a new form of cooperative diversity to combat the hostile wireless fading channels. For instance, there are lot standardization activities such as IEEE802.16j trying to exploit the potential benefits of cooperative communications. Although some initial understanding of cooperative communications and networking has been demonstrated in recent years, there are still a lot of open problems in the area both from the theoretical aspects and the practical considerations. The objective of this workshop are (1) to bring together experts and researchers from the International research community from Asia Pacific, North America and Europe, (2) business leader to address the market potential and emerging applications and services, and (3) the engineers from the wireless telecommunication vendors and service providers to enhance the understanding of the promising (but yet challenging) paradigm and deployment practices of cooperative networking. Topic of Interest: The workshop is calling for paper contributions to (but not limiting to) the following topics on cooperative networking. Information and Communication Theory ¨ Information Theoretical Aspects on Cooperative Networking ¨ Coding and Signal Processing Techniques for Cooperative Communications ¨ Cooperative Diversity Schemes ¨ Game Theoretical Aspects on Cooperation, Coalition and Competition Networking Protocol and Applications ¨ Cross-layer Resource allocation in Cooperative Networking ¨ Multi-hop Routing and Networking in Cooperative Communications ¨ Delay Sensitive Applications in Cooperative Networks ¨ Cooperative Sensing Applications Architecture, Implementation and Market Potential ¨ Implementation and Engineering Challenges on Cooperative Networking ¨ Business Model and Market Potential ¨ Emerging Applications and Services Standards Activities ¨ Standardization Issues ¨ Interoperability ¨ Current Standardization Activities This workshop is in conjunction to IEEE ICC2008 and therefore, all papers for this workshop must be submitted through the official ICC2008 web-based paper processing system.
