-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] RAWNET 2008 - Berlin March 31st - Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 10:29:32 +0000 Von: Bozidar Radunovic <bozidar(a)microsoft.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Dear colleagues, It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a paper for the 4th Workshop on Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks, RAWNET 2008, to be held March 31st 2007 in exciting Berlin, Germany. During last three years, RAWNET has managed to attract many renowned researchers both as keynote speakers, TPC members and attendants, and it has become a stimulating venue for fruitful discussions and exchanges of ideas. For more details on the next and past RAWNET workshops, please see the web site http://www.rawnet.org). RAWNET takes place in conjunction with WiOpt 08, a well established wireless research conference (http://www.wiopt.org), and attracts a significant part of WiOpt crowd in the audience. Regards, RAWNET'08 Chairs David Gesbert and Bozidar Radunovic ============================================================================================ Call for papers: Welcome to RAWNET'08 Tomorrow's wireless network must be optimized to offer enhanced rate performance, at higher and often heterogenous quality-of-service levels, in user scenarios with ever increasing mobilily. 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). Specific 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 Submission guidelines *Paper submission deadline :* November 19, 2007 *Notification of acceptance :* January 21, 2008 *Camera-ready papers due :* February 21, 2008 *Early registration deadline :* March 1, 2008 Paper submissions will be handled electronically via Cocus <http://icst.org:8080/cocus/welcome.do>. Authors should prepare a PDF or a PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 6 double-column pages, font size not smaller than 11 points, and can be prepared using the standard IEEE format.

CFP: ComNet - Special Issue on Autonomic and Self-Organising Systems
by Patrick Wuechner 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Dear colleagues, Please consider submission to this call. Also feel free to redistribute the call and please apologize for multiple copies. Best regards, Hermann de Meer, University of Passau, DE John Strassner, Motorola, US Simon Dobson, UCD Dublin, IE ========================================================================== CFP: COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL *Special Issue on Autonomic and Self-Organising Systems* ( http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet ) ========================================================================== _CONTEXT_ The complexities of modern computing and communications systems are well-known, as are the impact that these complexities have on their construction, composition, management, maintenance and evolution. It is now well-accepted that the total costs of ownership can have a significant effect on the economics of many service offerings, and that unmanageable complexity can threaten life and economic health in the event of failures. Autonomic computing and communications apply notions of feedback control, self-organisation, monitoring and reasoning to the construction and management of large systems. Originally suggested by IBM as a way to control total costs of ownership, the fields have expanded to address the design and implementation of stable, "self-*" algorithms as well as the overall design and analysis of adaptive properties and behaviour. Such self-* systems offer to improve the dynamic responses of systems to changing conditions, simplifying their construction, management and deployment. Although often considered separately, the interdependence of computing and communications in the modern world implies that we apply autonomic techniques on a whole-system basis that encompasses both aspects of systems design. In this special issue we have two aims: to provide a guide to a unified field of autonomic computing and communications through invited contributions addressing cross-system and whole-system techniques; and to present novel research contributions that advance the state of autonomic and self-organising systems design. With this in mind, we invite research contributions including (but most definitely not limited to) the following topics: - techniques for self-organisation at a system level, - foundational science of autonomics and self-organisation, - application of novel techniques to large-scale problems, - self-stabilising and self-optimising algorithms, - evaluations and evaluation methodologies for self-organising systems, - managing trade-offs between system aspects. Contributions addressing issues that cross between the autonomic computing and communication fields are particularly welcome. _IMPORTANT DATES_ - Deadline for Submission: 14 December 2007 - Notification of Acceptance: 04 February 2008 - Camera-Ready Copy Due: 24 March 2008 - Tentative Publication Date: August 2008 _SUBMISSION_ Prospective authors are to prepare their papers according to the instructions laid out in the Instructions to Authors at: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet and submit to: http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet choosing the Article Type: Autonomic and Self-Organising Systems. ========================================================================== Requests for further information may be addressed to the guest editors: - john.strassner(a)motorola.com - demeer(a)fmi.uni-passau.de and - simon.dobson(a)ucd.ie ========================================================================== This call as PDF: http://www.elsevierscitech.com/emailimages/cfp_autonomic_systems.pdf -- Patrick G.
