-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [mycolleagues] SIGCOMM'07 IPv6 and Future Internet Workshop Datum: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 16:50:45 +0800 Von: Maoke Chen <fibrib(a)gmail.com> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br, cnom(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br Referenzen: <20070226_024011_072576.westphall(a)ig.com.br> ================================================================ Our apologies if you receive duplicated copies of this CFP ================================================================ SIGCOMM 2007 Workshop "IPv6 and the Future of the Internet" Aug 31 2007, Kyoto, Japan (Submission due: Apr 6 2007) http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2007/ipv6/ 1. Motivation and rationale for the workshop This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to engage in an in-depth discussion on various research and deployment issues of IPv6 and their impact on the future of the Internet. In recent years the global deployment of IPv6 started taking off, especially in the Asian-Pacific area. To date IPv6 development efforts have mainly focused on protocol standardization, product development, and network operations, rather than as a research target. However, we believe that the accumulated experiences in these practices now provide interesting research opportunities, not only for those who have been involved in IPv6 development but also for the broader network research community. We expect the workshop to open a dialog between networking researchers and practitioners, and foster synergistic activities thereafter. 2. Call for Paper (CFP) ACM SIGCOMM IPv6 and the Future of the Internet (IPv6+) Workshop seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of IPv6 and their relevance on the future of the Internet. IPv6 was primarily motivated by the address shortage problem of IPv4. It provides a much larger address space than IPv4. However, the competing technology Network Address Translation (NAT) has alleviated the address shortage problem to some extent, and other problems, such as routing scalability, management, mobility, and security, have become increasingly prominent. At the mean time, the global deployment of IPv6 has gradually taken off. Modern operating systems are shipped with both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks, and IPv6-compatible backbones came into existence. As it is costly to migrate from one network architecture to another one, can we take this opportunity to address additional problems in the IPv4 Internet by extending the IPv6 protocol suite? What new problems are/were encountered in the process of deploying IPv6? And what lessons have we learned? We invite submissions that shed light on the above questions. Submissions in both academic and operational flavors are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences and lessons learned from pilot deployments of IPv6 networks and applications - Experimental and measurement results from operational IPv6 networks - Advantages and challenges the very large IPv6 address space bring to the Internet routing system - Scalable and robust solutions to multi-homing and traffic engineering - Host and Network Mobility - Multicast and Anycast protocols - Worms, DoS, and other security threats in IPv6 networks and possible enhancements to address these challenges. - IPv6's Applicability to sensor networks, low-power personal area networks, and other types of challenged networks - Impact on application development and deployment - A critical assessment of IPv6's viability as a global communication infrastructure for the future or of its fundamental limitations, if any. 3. Submission guideline Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length, must be a pdf file, and must follow the formatting guidelines at http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2007/workshop-psg.html. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. 4. Workshop dates Paper submission due: April 6, 2007 Paper acceptance notification: May 11, 2007 Camera-ready due: June 8, 2007 Workshop: Aug 31, 2007 5.

[Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE Communications Feature Topic CFP]
by Lars Wolf 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Communications Feature Topic CFP Datum: Tue, 27 Feb 2007 13:23:17 +1100 Von: Abbas Jamalipour <a.jamalipour(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: Abbas Jamalipour <a.jamalipour(a)ieee.org> Dear colleagues, I would like to encourage you to submit a paper to the IEEE Communications, Feature Topic on "New Trends in Mobile Internet Technologies and Applications". Deadline for paper submissions is June 1, 2007. Below is the details of the CFP. Regards, Abbas Jamalipour ----------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on New Trends in Mobile Internet Technologies and Applications The mobile Internet technology and its related applications and services have been greatly progressed in the past few years and now we see many tiny terminals with integrated multi-function chips in the market. However, at the same time we observe a kind of separation between the technology development and the common Internet applications that the customers usually use. This had led to the underutilization of mobile device capabilities such as mobile video and mobile television that come as part of new mobile devices. While for many people using specific Internet applications would be more comfortable with large screen desktops, the mobility freedom provided by the cellular and non-cellular mobile technologies suggest closer connections to the applications should be developed so that users can receive most of their communications needs from their mobile devices. In this Feature Topic we solicit papers from respective industry and academia which demonstrate new activities on how applications become more "mobile centric". Browsing the Internet on a small screen would not be as useful and fun as one might experience on a large laptop screen. But is this really related to the screen size or due to the mismatch between the mobile and Internet technologies? Without an efficient work on this important area, we will continue using our mobile phones features for less communicative purposes (e.g. using mobile phone camera for merely taking photos). The Feature Topic covers several layers of the communication protocol stack. Having a unified URL addressing for both mobile and fixed devices for example is a topic related mainly to the application layer, while the convergence of different access network including wireless LAN and cellular 3G and beyond to accommodate sufficient data rate at all times to users is a topic covered by physical layer up to the transport layer. The other aspect of this Feature Topic is to present some novel and emerging technologies that may expand the use of advanced mobile devices including the use of these devices for example as part of a ubiquitous wireless navigation system. With the enhanced chip and battery design it is possible to think of mobile phones as sensor elements that can simplify and at the same time extend the navigation systems to terrestrial networks. Focused tutorial and survey contributions as well as research and standardization papers are solicited related to the above areas on following subject categories: " New services for broadband mobile Internet " Service characterization for mobile environment " Mobile terminal usage simplification " Mobile Internet domain in 3G/WLAN/WiMax networks " Mobile/fixed domain Internet address convergence " Mobile terminal self-recognition and adoption " Navigation service in cellular networks " Base station free mobile communications " All-in-one terminals for mobile Internet " Application-based spectrum configuration " Mobile device usage and capability expansion " Related IEEE, IETF, ITU standardization activities Paper Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles may be edited for clarity and grammatical accuracy, and will be copyedited according to the Magazine's style. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations could be allowed, provided the consent of the Guest Editor; more than three equations require permission from the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should have no more than 4,500 words, no more than 6 tables/figures, and no more than 15 references. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com). Choose "January 2008/Mobile Internet Technologies and Applications". Papers must be submitted by June 1, 2007. Accepted papers will be also included in Communications Interactive (CI), the online version of Communications Magazine. Manuscript Due June 1, 2007 Acceptance Notification September 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due November 1, 2007 Publication Date January 2008 Guest Editors Abbas Jamalipour Email: a.jamalipour(a)ieee.org Mohammed Atiquzzaman E-mail: atiq(a)ou.edu ----------------- -------------------------------------- Abbas Jamalipour, PhD Fellow IEEE, Fellow Engineers Australia, IEEE Distinguished Lecturer Editor-in-Chief, IEEE Wireless Communications --------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Iscc] PerNets'07 cfp Datum: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 09:42:31 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> An: iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it 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/ 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/ 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.
