Ad hoc wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity with complete lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The last few years have witnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad hoc and sensor networks that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. Such networks can be randomly and rapidly deployed and reconfigured and easily tailored to specific applications including entertainment, civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance due to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication. Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop to multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several challenges face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous deployment of ad hoc and sensor networks. These include variable topology, device heterogeneity, limited power supply and the lack of effective energy-efficient design, lack of QoS and application support, etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [New Deadline] CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature Topic on QoS Control in Next Generation Networks Datum: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 09:52:22 -0600 Von: Widjaja, Indra (Indra) <iwidjaja(a)research.bell-labs.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <9F1D84BDF02A2B41B030921EB09086184E9426(a)ILEXC1U01.ndc.lucent.com> <9F1D84BDF02A2B41B030921EB0908618C48EEE(a)ILEXC1U01.ndc.lucent.com> [Our apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] [Due to various requests, the submission deadline has been extended to Mar 8, 2007] ------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on QoS Control in Next Generation Networks http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/cfpcommag0907a.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------- In next generation networks, the service plane and the transport plane will be decoupled and independent. This is clearly evident from various emerging standards such as 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem, 3GPP2 Multi-Media Domain, ITU-T Next Generation Network, ETSI TISPAN, Packet Cable Multimedia Architecture and Multi Service Forum. All of these architectures have the following in common: (1) the service plane that transfers service information (e.g., SIP, HTTP) and manages service resources to enable advanced user services (e.g., IPTV, push-to-talk), and (2) the transport plane that delivers end-to-end user packets and manages transport resources. This architectural approach enables the service plane and the transport plane to be developed independently, and provides support for different access technologies based on fixed (twisted copper cable, coaxial cable, fiber) and wireless media. A critical component in these architectures is a logical entity that has a northbound interface to the service plane and southbound interface to the transport plane to provide the linkage between the two planes. This entity has been called by different functional names including policy server, policy decision function (PDF), policy and charging rules function (PCRF), resource and admission control function (RACF) and bandwidth manager. Although the entity also performs functions such as charging control and security control, this Feature Topic will only focus on QoS-related functions such as admission control, QoS mapping from service plane (e.g., SDP) to transport plane (e.g., DSCP marking, policing parameters, etc.), resource monitoring and resource reservation, and gate control. While the standards development organizations have been working on the protocol specifications, much work is needed in the design and performance aspects of this entity in order to provide end-to-end QoS services in a scalable manner. For example, it is of interest to have concrete designs to handle scenarios where end-to-end user packets traverse multiple domains, each of which is managed by its own PDF. Papers that are tutorial in nature are strongly recommended. Suggested areas include (but are not limited to) the following subject categories: * Overview and comparison of PDF functions in relevant standards such as ITU-NGN, ETSI TISPAN, 3GPP/3GPP2 and Packet Cable * Test beds, lab/field trials, and lessons learned from early deployment * Issues in overall QoS architectures with decoupled service and transport planes * QoS support at the service control function (IMS and non-IMS) or at the policy enforcement function * Multidomain admission control and end-to-end performance * Transport plane performance monitoring such as TRC-FE in ITU-NGN * Policy rules and policy decisions * Authorization, reservation and commitment of network resources in pull and push models * QoS mapping from service plane to transport plane * Algorithms for optimizing transport resources, service provisioning performance or other performance enhancement Schedule: Full manuscript due: March 8, 2007 (new deadline) Acceptance notification: May 15, 2007 Final manuscript due: July 1, 2007 Publication date: September 2007 Submission: Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Workshop on Systems and Networking Support for Healthcare and Assisted Living Environments Datum: Thu, 01 Mar 2007 10:55:42 +0100 Von: Gaia Maselli <maselli(a)di.uniroma1.it> Antwort an: maselli(a)di.uniroma1.it An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers HealthNet 2007 The 1st International Workshop on Systems and Networking Support for Healthcare and Assisted Living Environments In conjunction with MobiSys 2007 June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA http://healthnet07.cs.uiuc.edu Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------ WORKSHOP SCOPE: ================ As the world's population grows older, healthcare and high-tech companies are joining forces. New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the users needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Enabling technologies * Service and device discovery * Security and privacy * Reliability and fault tolerance * User and device localization * Resource management architecture * User data management * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Mobility and connectivity management * Cross-layer system architecture design * Human-centered Computing * Task and behavior analysis * Impact of user interface design on system design and management * Test-beds and simulations environments IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission deadline: March 23, 2007 (5PM US EST) Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2007 Camera ready version due: May 17, 2007 Workshop date: June 11, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: =============================== All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 6 pages, double-column, with a font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous and reviewing is single-blind. Submissions will be judged on based on technical content and correctness, relevance to the workshop, as well as presentation of the research.

These heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes, restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn, mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing, and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the complexity of these ambitious wireless systems. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of extreme importance to bridge the communication technologies with biological sciences and capture the analogy between these two distinct disciplines. To this end, solution strategies inspired by the biological systems have been recently proposed to address the challenges of many computing and communication systems. This special issue is dedicated to capture the state-of-the-art and the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools * Biological and bio-inspired computing, data processing algorithms * Joint bio-inspired data processing and communication * Embryonics-based fault-tolerant computing and communication * Bio-inspired network and communication algorithms and protocols * Novel applications and services inspired by biological systems * Experimental studies of bio-inspired computing and communications * Bio-inspired topology control and network reconfiguration methods * Bio-inspired localization, synchronization, mobility approaches * Evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols * Immune and self-healing network defense and information security * Bio-inspired nano-scale and molecular computing and communication * Bio-inspired distributed control and sensing of networked wearable and implantable medical devices Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective authors:Please submit the PDF of your paper, biographies and photos of the co-authors to http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc and choose Special Issue: Bio-Inspired Computing as the Article Type.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets'07 cfp Datum: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:10:28 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call for papers ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================ Second International Workshop on Personalized Networks <http://pernets.org/>http://pernets.org/ To be held in conjunction with: The 4th Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networks and Services (MOBIQUITOUS 2007) August 6-10, 2007 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA ============================================================ Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: April 1, 2007 Notification of Acceptance: May 21, 2007 Camera-Ready Submissions: June 10, 2007 (Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library) ============================================================= Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit <http://pernets.org/>http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * The architectural framework of personalized networks * Context awareness and support * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and accounting * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program will consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [mycolleagues] ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiOpp 2007: Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 10:15:41 +0100 Von: Marco Conti <Marco.Conti(a)iit.cnr.it> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users' communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE WORKSHOP WEBSITE (http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07) FOR THE COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (Elsevier).
