R. Kumar, and Prof. Kang G. Shin ========================================================================== ****** Paper Submission Deadline Extended to: May 15, 2007 ****** ----- Scope ----- Recent advances in the wireless communications and networking technologies will significantly impact the design of automobiles to make automobile operations safer and more efficient, and thereby, result in significant progress in the evolution of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) band has been allocated in the USA at 5.9 GHz for vehicle-to- roadside (V2R) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, while the IEEE 802.11p working group is developing enhancements of 802.11 standards to support ITS, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), vehicular telematics, and infotainment applications. It is anticipated that a single wireless access technology may not suit the needs of all vehicular communication applications, and a heterogeneous wireless networking platform needs to be developed and optimized. Numerous exciting research challenges exist for designing wireless networking protocols for vehicular communication applications. Significant advancements in these research areas are expected in near future. The objectives of this workshop are to discuss the challenges in designing wireless networking protocols for vehicular networks and ITS, different ITS applications and services based on wireless communications and networking technologies, and present the recent advances in these areas. With the objective and a very timely topic, the workshop is expected to attract lot of interest from the researchers in the area of wireless communication networks as well as from ITS designers and planners. The technical issues which will be addressed in this workshop include - Vehicular wireless communications applications and services for ITS - Vehicular telematics based on emerging wireless technologies - Multimedia content distribution in vehicular networks - Architectures for V2R communications - Heterogeneous wireless network architecture for V2V and V2R communications - Physical, medium access control , radio link, and routing protocols - Cross-layer wireless protocol analysis, design, and optimization for vehicular networks - Cognitive radio protocols for vehicular networks - Security protocols for vehicular networks - Privacy issues in vehicular networks - Vehicular network management - Performance modeling and simulation - Field experiments and test-bed results Accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series and will be made available in ACM Digital Library, as well as indexed by EI and ISI Index. ---------------- Paper Submission ---------------- Manuscripts which present original materials not previously published in, or currently under review by, another conference or journal, are invited.

Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ********************************************************************* * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * LOCAN 2007 * * * * The 3rd International Workshop on Localized Communication * * and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks * * http://ants.dif.um.es/locan2007 * * * * In conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on * * Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems, MASS 2007 * * http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007 * * Pisa, Italy, October 13 , 2006 * ********************************************************************* SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas (for example, a multi-disciplinary program on sensors and sensor networks was launched in 2003 at the US National Science Foundation) and research activities are booming recently. This workshop concentrates on network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting * Geocasting and anycasting * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Sensor area coverage problems * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: May 15, 2007 Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2007 Workshop Date: October 12, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] WiMob'07: Special Session on Mobility Models Datum: Wed, 02 May 2007 23:56:58 -0400 Von: Fabrice Valois <fabrice.valois(a)insa-lyon.fr> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CFP for IEEE WiMOB’2007 special session on Mobility Models for Mobile Ad hoc Networks, Mesh networks, Wireless networks and NEMO networks The session is a part of the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications “WiMob 2007” http://www.gel.usherbrooke.ca/WiMob2007/, which will take place in Crowne Plaza Hotel, White Plains, New York, USA, from October 8-10, 2007. Motivations: Because WiMob'07 conference is focused on wireless networks and because the performances of wireless networks are strongly linked to the mobility models used, we propose a special session focusing only on mobility models. This session is focused on these kind of wireless networks: - MANET: Mobile ad hoc networks where whole the topology is dynamic - Mesh networks and classical wireless networks offering an infrastructure topologies allowing fixed and mobile Internet for the end user. - Network Mobile (NEMO) networks offering new kind of dynamic topology where not only the user is mobile but also the network These kind of networks should deal with mobility: user mobility, group mobility, etc. But, what is really mobility? how mobility influences the performances? how to define new mobility models? etc. Scope of the Contributions for Mobility Models in the case of MANET, Mesh Networks, Wireless Networks and NEMO networks (include but are not limited to the following): - Performance evaluation of mobility models - New mobility models to mimic particular behavior - Theoretical aspects of mobility models - Theoretical frameworks for mobility - Mobility models based on realistic traces - Mobility management - Networking protocols and mobility models - Tools for mobility models (generators, integrators to simulators, ..) - etc. Authors are invited to submit a complete technical paper of their original work. Maximum length for submissions is 8 double column pages in IEEE format. The preferred submission format is PDF. Session Chair: Fabrice Valois, INSA Lyon, France Session Co-chair: Thomas Noel, University of Strasbourg, France Submissions should be sent attached by email to the session chairs at: fabrice.valois(a)insa-lyon.fr Thomas.Noel(a)dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr Important Dates : Manuscript Submission Due: May 25, 2007 Acceptance Notification: June 8, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: June 15, 2007 -- Fabrice Valois, Associate Professor INRIA ARES / CITI - INSA Lyon, Telecommunications Dpt.
