Your contributions are more than welcome. --- Apostolis Salkintzis, //Ph.D.// Motorola E-mail: salki(a)motorola.com <mailto:salki@motorola.com> /Call for Papers/ /IEEE Communications Magazine/ Feature Topic on *Advances in Wireless VoIP* * * Beginning as a frolic among computer enthusiasts, VoIP has managed to set off a feeding frenzy in both the industrial and scientific communities and has the potential to radically change telephone communications. Wireless VoIP in particular has been one of the hottest topics lately and has gathered considerable momentum mainly due to its potential to provide new wireless telephony experiences and tight integration with Internet services. As VoIP holds considerable appeal both from the users’ and service providers’ viewpoint, and as consumers get used to more and more fixed VoIP services, the demand to migrate these services to wireless environments is ramping up quickly. However, there are still several challenges that need to be dealt with when VoIP technologies are deployed in wireless networks. Issues such as bandwidth efficiency, scheduling and QoS, handover latency / loss in heterogeneous access networks, as well as call setup delay, resource reservation and call continuity in different environments, still raise unique technical challenges associated with wireless VoIP transmission. These issues, among others, need to be effectively handled before VoIP services become widely adapted in wireless networks. For this purpose, both the industrial and scientific communities have been intensively working to address such issues and develop economically efficient wireless VoIP services. The aim of this feature topic is to report on the latest advances in wireless VoIP and cover a wide spectrum of topics related to VoIP communications over wireless networks. Original, tutorial-in-nature papers are solicited that present recent research and development findings including experimental results and performance evaluations. The key topics of interest include the following: · Emerging VoIP services in all-IP mobile networks · Efficiency of VoIP transmission over mobile radios · Handover of VoIP sessions across different radio networks · Call continuity between VoIP and traditional circuit-switched networks · Design, implementation and VoIP testbed results · QoS mechanisms tailored to VoIP transmission · Header Compression schemes · Voice codecs and silence suppression · VoWLAN architecture and core protocols · VoIP over WiMAX · Call admission control and QoS support for VoIP over wireless networks * * *Schedule:* Manuscript submission: June 15, 2007 Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2007 Final manuscripts due: November 1, 2007 Publication date: January, 2008 *Submission:* Authors must follow the /IEEE Communications Magazine's/ guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.

Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics?7 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: April 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2007 Final version due: September 5, 2007 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: F.

ACN are self-aware systems that promise clear advantages to users and network providers over previous technologies and may change the way we think about the design, management and use of communication networks. With ACN, users could benefit from reliable and dynamically adaptable communication networks with minimal effort in configuration and operation, which could in turn dramatically reduce costs of operation and management of communication infrastructures. A significant requirement for such systems is the ability to maintain a desired degree of quality of service despite their dynamic nature. ACN are novel systems and their design and study are complex activities with many challenges and open questions to be properly addressed. The workshop will encourage the interaction among researchers in the field and will promote the exchange of ideas. We welcome original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of ACN, including, but not limited to the following: - Provision of quality of service in autonomic communications - Self-maintained and self-configurable communications - Self-protecting communication networks and computer networks - Monitoring and self-managing in ACN - QoS in autonomic mobile ad-hoc networks - Evaluation and demonstration tools: analytical models, simulators, network test-beds, libraries, middleware, etc. - Software engineering techniques and best practices for developing autonomic networks - Performance analysis of ACN - Balancing of desired properties, e.g. self-adaptation Vs. self-protection and experimental evaluation measurements - Interaction of autonomic networking systems with legacy Networking protocols - Applications of autonomic networks to the creation of new services (grid computing, pervasive computing, etc.) Paper length should be limited to 15 pages double-column in IEEE format. You can download the template for latex here or here. High quality submissions will be considered and evaluated for publication in a premier journal.

The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide, such as the European eSafety initiative, the US programs derived from the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative and the Japanese InternetITS and AHS programs. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society has decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications, with the first issues planned to be co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. The first IEEE WiVeC symposium will be collocated with the 66th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference and will take place at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore on the 30th September and 1st October 2007. Combined registrations packages will be offered to attendees to WiVeC and VTC conferences. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. A selection of the best five WiVeC papers will be published in a special issue of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine www.ieeevtm.org. Authors are encouraged to submit full papers (a maximum of five pages) through the conference web site. Topics of interest ------------------ The WiVec Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models. * Radio resource management and interference management. * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations. * Architecture, networking protocols (including ad-hoc, routing, data dissemination, etc) and their evalutation. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design. * Communications systems and technologies. * Testbeds and simulation platforms. * Interworking with sensor network technologies. * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications. * Roadside infrastructure. * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models. * Digital maps and location technologies. * Decision and control issues. * Human-Machine Interface. * Applications (Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless diagnosis etc.). * Security, liability and privacy. * Standards development, business models, policies (e.g., Cooperative aspects of vehicular communication). * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety. * Scalability issues in metropolitan-wide vehicular networks.

We are looking for demonstrations of recent or ongoing research work that will showcase the research and inspire discussion and interaction with the attendees at WoWMoM 2007. We invite participation from both academia and industry demonstrating novel research results. Demonstrations will be presented in a designated demonstration slot in the conference program. The number of demos presented will be kept low in order to allow the full attention of the conference participants. WoWMoM 2007 will have a "Best Demo Award" based upon both the technical contribution and the demonstrator "showcase". Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * System prototypes and experiences * QoS for voice and video in wireless networks * IP-based wireless multimedia applications and systems * Multimedia multicasting and broadcasting * Handoff and mobility management * Seamless internetworking and self-organization * Network management and control * Context-aware wireless multimedia applications * Location mechanism and services * Content management and distribution * Multimedia applications and systems in vehicular, mesh, and ad-hoc networks Demo proposals shall be short papers of no more than 3 pages (IEEE conference template, font size no less than 10pt) which will be reviewed by the Program Committee. The proposals should introduce the background, describe the key contributions of the author(s), and state what the demonstrator will show. A one-page appendix shall provide a comprehensive description of the demonstration and list all the technical requirements such as equipment (to be brought by the presenters) and other resources (such as # WLAN channels, Internet access, etc.), and also include a description of the demo presentation, e.g., are visitors involved, is a prototype presented that can be used by visitors, etc. The short papers of the accepted demo proposals will be included as a conference supplement, published by IEEE. It serves to inform the audience of the details behind the demo, and as a permanent record of the demo.
