-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM/Springer MONET Special Issue on "Advances in Wireless Mesh Networks" Datum: Mon, 14 May 2007 16:32:07 -0500 Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang(a)uark.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================ CALL FOR PAPERS ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Special Issue on "Advances in Wireless Mesh Networks" ============================================ Wireless mesh networks facilitates the extension of local area networks into wide areas and have emerged as a promising approach for future network accesses. Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to numerous practical routing and transport protocols. Unlike ad hoc networks, however, mesh networks can serve as access networks that employ multi-hop wireless forwarding by mesh nodes to relay traffic to and from the wired Internet. The unique features of wireless mesh networks pose challenges in designing affordable, reliable, and sustainable network infrastructures. The critical issues span a rich spectrum of issues from interference-aware channel assignment, multi-hop routing, to reliable transport and infrastructure optimization, many of which have to be revisited in this new context. The purpose of this special issue is to archive the state-of-the-art achievements in wireless mesh networking. We solicit original and unpublished research papers in both theoretical studies and practical protocol/architecture designs for wireless mesh networks, as well as prototypes. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical performance analysis - Network capacity and network coverage - Scalable power management and topology control - Cognitive radio-enabled wireless mesh networks - Multi-channel and multi-radio MAC protocols - Scalable and robust routing protocols - Reliable and adaptive transport protocols - Cross-layer design and optimization - New applications over wireless mesh networks - Secure communication protocols - Resource management and traffic control - Heterogeneous wireless mesh networks - Cooperative communication for mesh networks - Efficient transport design - Network operation and management - Mobility management - Testbeds and trial systems Publication Schedules: - Manuscript Due: June 1, 2007 - Acceptance Notification: Oct 15, 2007 - Final Manuscript Due: Dec 1, 2007 - Publication Date: second quarter in 2008 (expected) Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SIGCOMM student posters and travel grants - deadline approaching Datum: Wed, 9 May 2007 23:30:17 -0400 (EDT) Von: Jelena Mirkovic <sunshine(a)cis.udel.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: imrg(a)ietf.org, sigcomm(a)postel.org Referenzen: <20060314211751.GA3591(a)beaver.cs.dartmouth.edu> <Pine.SOC.4.64.0705070154560.5897(a)stimpy.eecis.udel.edu> POSTERS Student posters are due on May 14. Although anyone can submit a poster, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Posters will be reviewed by members of the SIGCOMM Poster Session Committee. At the conference, student posters must be presented by a student. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2007 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. URL for poster CFP is http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2007/poster.html. TRAVEL GRANTS Travel grant applications are due on May 21. Thanks to the supporting organizations, SIGCOMM2007 has three travel grants programs: GeoDiversity Travel Grants for faculties and researchers, US Minority Faculty Travel Grants and Student Travel Grants. The application processes are the same for the three travel grants. ACM SIGCOMM GeoDiversity Travel Grants are for people holding faculty and researcher positions in their early career (at most five years of full-time, full-level [non-postdoc] post-PhD employment) from under-represented countries. Roughly 5-10 awardees will be selected. US Minority Faculty Travel Grants are for US-based minority faculties. Roughly 2 awardees will be selected. Student Travel Grants are for students only. Roughly 15-20 awardees will be selected. The committee strongly prefers applicants who are not paper authors (the committee believes that authors' home organizations should cover costs for authors). Here, 'author' means any named author on a conference or workshop paper.

CoNEXT 2007 will be a major forum for presentations and discussions of novel networking technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. The conference is single-track and features a high-quality technical program with significant opportunities for technical and social interactions. The main conference will be preceded by a student workshop (organised by Suman Banerjee, Roger Karrer and Ashwin Sridharan) and another workshop. CoNEXT seeks to foster open discussions on technology alternatives and to be a forum accommodating multiple viewpoints. It is committed to a fair and thorough review process that will provide authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. CoNEXT 2007 solicits papers that help better understand today's networks and how their performance and functionality can be improved, as well papers proposing new approaches and systems on how to design and operate the next generation of networks. Additionally, papers reporting on the deployment and performance of services or exploring network functionality aimed at better supporting new services are also welcome. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: - Internet measurements and modelling - Economic aspects of the Internet - Implementation and experimental evaluation of network protocols/applications - Network security and deep packet inspection - Networked games, multimedia applications - Routing and traffic engineering - Peer-to-peer and overlay networks - Wireless and mobile networks - Ad hoc and sensors networks - Delay and disruption tolerant networks - New networking protocols, architectures, and addressing schemes - Autonomic and dependable communications Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not have been submitted to another conference or journal for publication. Papers must be submitted in electronic format following the instructions provided on the CoNEXT web site and must be no more than 12 pages in the ACM SIGCOMM format (strictly enforced). Proceedings will be published by ACM, appear in ACM's digital library and the best papers will be forwarded to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking for possible fast-track publication.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] ACM EMME 2007 CfP Datum: Wed, 9 May 2007 08:46:20 -0400 Von: Wolfgang Huerst <huerst(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-FREIBURG.DE> Antwort an: Wolfgang Huerst <huerst(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-FREIBURG.DE> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Our apologies if you have received multiple copies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Workshop on Educational Multimedia and Multimedia Education (EMME 2007) September 28, 2007, Augsburg, Germany (in conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2007) http://emme2007.informatik.uni-freiburg.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Advances in multimedia capture, analysis and delivery, combined with the rapid adoption of broadband communication, have resulted in multimedia teaching systems that have advanced traditional forms of education. Research in these areas has achieved impressive results in the last few years and many actual working systems and commercial products are now routinely used by a growing number of people. However, the various web sites and lecture videos produced as part of the "e-learning hype" generally do not exploit the full potential of multimedia. The question about how multimedia can really make learning more exploratory and enjoyable is as yet unanswered, and we are just beginning to understand the real contribution of multimedia to education. In addition, new trends in multimedia technology, such as multimedia on handheld devices or advanced approaches for the automatic analysis of multimodal signals, offer novel and exciting opportunities for teaching and learning. The growing pervasiveness of multimedia on any computing device also increases the relevance of knowledge about multimedia for computer scientists and software engineers. However, the significance of multimedia for the future of computing is generally not reflected in current curricula. For example, few universities offer dedicated courses and multimedia is often only taught as part of other courses such as computer graphics or machine learning. In addition, multimedia is a very active and rapidly changing field. New and emerging technologies can not only influence how we teach but also have an impact on what we should teach. The goal of this workshop is to identify current and evolving trends, specify open problems, and discover challenges and prospects for new research in the broad topic of multimedia-based education. By bringing together researchers working on educational multimedia with multimedia educators, we want to establish an open discussion on these issues and create a reference for future research in this area. In particular, we invite submissions in one of the following areas: -> MULTIMEDIA EDUCATION, i.e. submissions which identify key issues and best practices for teaching multimedia and look into the future of multimedia education. -> EDUCATIONAL MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS, i.e. work on educational multimedia systems and applications that promote learning. -> EMERGING TRENDS, i.e. papers on novel technologies and emerging trends in computing that offer new and exciting possibilities for the production and usage of multimedia learning material. We explicitly encourage researchers from other communities who are also working with multimedia data and multimodal signals to contribute to this workshop by submitting their research related to educational multimedia material and applications. In addition, any contribution from an emerging field dealing with education and new media is welcome. Further potential areas of interest include, among them, gaming and learning, human-centered computing, and ubiquitous computing. Information about submissions (up to 10 pages in ACM style, shorter submissions are welcome as well) are available on the workshops web site (see URL below). Selected papers will be invited for publication in a related journal. Workshop Chairs Gerald Friedland, ICSI, Berkeley, CA, USA Wolfgang Hürst, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany Lars Knipping, Berlin University of Technology, Germany Important Dates Deadline: June 1, 2007 Notification: July 9, 2007 Final Version: July 23, 2007 Further information & submission instructions at http://emme2007.informatik.uni-freiburg.de
