-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: Mobicom 2007 Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS) Datum: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:00:07 +0300 Von: Joerg Ott <jo(a)NETLAB.TKK.FI> Antwort an: Joerg Ott <jo(a)NETLAB.TKK.FI> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Second Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS) 2007 ==================================================== [updated deadlines] Co-located with Mobicom 2007, 14 September 2007, Montreal, QC, Canada http://chants-2007.netlab.tkk.fi/ Challenged networks are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes and widely varying network conditions. Nodes in today's challenged networks often include mobile nodes, space-based nodes, sensor/actuator nodes and other devices. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries can also be regarded as challenged networks as can be ad-hoc communication between personal devices. The Internet protocol architecture suffers some problems when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. We specifically solicit papers in the following areas: * Characterization of performance-challenged networks, e.g.m network measurements * Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks * Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks * System architecture and design for challenged networks * Applications in challenged networks * Robust network application design and implementation techniques * Delay tolerant and disruption tolerant networks (DTN) * Configuration and management of challenged networks Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as architectural papers addressing new concerns. Papers that bring out problems in the existing proposals for challenged networks or that report operational experience will be favored. Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on evolving this area of network research and continuing to build its community. In addition, we seek submission of demo proposals, also to be reviewed by the TPC. The demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable, too. Paper Format and Submission --------------------------- Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS. Papers will be reviewed single blind. Paper submission URI: http://edas.info/5526 Important Dates (updated!) -------------------------- Paper registration deadline: 15 May 2007 Paper submission deadline: 18 May 2007 Demo submission deadline: 4 June 2007 Notification of acceptance: 18 June 2007 Camera Ready Deadline: 13 July 2007 Workshop Date: 14 September 2007 Workshop Chairs --------------- Jörg Ott Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Rajesh Krishnan BBN Technologies Steering Committee ------------------ Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Institute of Technology Christophe Diot, Thomson Research, Paris, France Deborah Estrin, University of California, Los Angeles Kevin Fall, Intel Research Berkeley Jörg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland James Scott, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK Technical Program Committee --------------------------- Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Institute of Technology Prithwish Basu, BBN Technologies Scott Burleigh, NASA/JPL Chen-Nee Chuah, University of California, Davis Mooi Choo Chuah, Lehigh University Vania Conan, Thales Architecture Framework Centre Marco Conti, IIT-CNR Christophe Diot, Thomson Deborah Estrin, University of California at Los Angeles Kevin Fall, Intel Research Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin Silvia Giordano, University of Applied Science - SUPSI Stephen Hailes, UCL Sushant Jain, Google Gunnar Karlsson, KTH, Royal Institute of Technology Srinivasan Keshav, University of Waterloo Dirk Kutscher, University of Bremen Jeremie Leguay, Univ.

There are, however, communication services that are tolerant to disruptions and delay and do not require or cannot be given continuous connectivity. It is time to consider the unconnected network. This issue is dedicated to communication over wireless networks with inter- mittent connectivity due to planned or unexpected disruptions that may result in long delays for the communicating parties. Communication dis- ruptions occur both in infrastructure and ad-hoc wireless networks. In both cases, it is possible that mobile nodes cooperatively forward data for one another through their own movements. The mobility patterns of nodes affect thereby both the speed and reliability of data forwarding. Inter- mittent communication occurs also in sensor networks due to, e.g., energy- saving sleep cycles, and in deep-space communication and meteor-burst communication. The communication services that may use such intermittent and high-delay connections are characterized by a low degree of inter- activity, e.g., broadcasting, messaging, and data collection. Opportunistic strategies for caching and communicating may improve the performance in terms of reduced delay and improved probability of delivery. This issue of J-SAC is dedicated to technologies, systems designs and analyses that contribute to the development and understanding of delay and disruption tolerant wireless communication systems. Original contributions, previously unpublished and not currently under review, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following. * Data encoding for partial and unordered delivery * User studies of delay and disruption tolerances * Opportunistic caching and pre-fetching for concealment of service disruptions * Mobility measurements, modeling and performance analysis * Uni-, any-, and multicast routing protocols * Congestion, flow and error control; per-hop and multi-hop solutions * Security, privacy, authenticity and traceability of communication * Energy saving strategies and power management * Applications to personal communication, sensor networks, road-traffic systems and industrial communication Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] (no subject) Datum: Tue, 17 Apr 2007 23:18:58 +0200 Von: <S.P.W.G.Uhlig(a)ewi.tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Call for papers ------------- Special issue of IEEE Network Magazine on Internet Scalability: Properties and Evolution ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The modern Internet is a large-scale distributed system composed of many complex, interoperating sub-systems: traffic, topology, routing, addressing, etc. With its continued growth, the scaling of these different sub-systems becomes an increasingly important issue, as does the nature of the complex interactions between them. A detailed investigation/study of these interactions is crucial to foresee the future of the Internet, and ensure its smooth evolution. The current Internet architecture suffers from scalability problems caused by a number of factors. Growth in traffic and topological size, multi-homing, and interdomain routing dynamics are some examples of factors stressing the current infrastructure. Trends in multi-homing that might impact the behavior of the traffic depend on the evolution of addressing, like the deployment and use of IPv6, or nodes mobility. The way business relationships are defined between domains affects the spread of routing information, and in turn the flow of the traffic. Applications determine between which hosts traffic is exchanged. Understanding any of these aspects requires understanding the relationships between all of them. To add to this confusion, it is now understood that different subsystems of the Internet depend on each other in unexpected ways. For instance, traffic surges due to worm attacks are able to partially disrupt routing. By studying the large-scale properties of the Internet (as opposed to the behavior of isolated sub-systems), we will better understand the issues that are of significant importance for its future. Scope of special issue ------------------- The goal of this special issue is to discuss all aspects that have an impact on the large-scale behavior of the Internet, with a focus on their interactions. To properly understand how the Internet will evolve, we believe that a global systemic view of the Internet is necessary. Submitted papers should thus bring significant insight into how different aspects of the Internet impact its global behavior. The purpose of this special issue of IEEE network magazine is to publish both state-of-the-art and prospective papers on the properties and the evolution of Internet scalability. Papers describing original research results, surveys or prospective papers should be written in a tutorial manner and be readable by non-specialists. Overly analytical papers are not welcome. Instead, contributions must focus on giving insight into the global Internet behavior without getting into unnecessary mathematical formalism. Topics of interest include --------------------- * Analysis and evolution of the control plane, including routing, naming (DNS), and addressing * Trends and perspectives in multi-homing * Evolution of business relationships between autonomous systems * Interactions between topology, routing and traffic * Global performance of control and data planes, as well as performance measurement methodologies * Impact of Internet-wide security risks (unwanted traffic, attacks against the routing and naming) on Internet robustness * Future of Internet services, QoS, fairness and network neutrality * Emerging applications (e.g. bandwidth-intensive, requiring strict QoS guarantees, etc) and their impact on global traffic Manuscript submission Authors must submit their manuscript (single column, double-spaced) electronically in PDF format by email to Steve Uhlig (S.P.W.G.Uhlig(a)ewi.tudelft.nl) before the deadline. The manuscript should be written in single column, double-spaced, in accordance to the guidelines of the IEEE network magazine (http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/). Please also include information about the manuscript (title, complete list of authors, corresponding author's contact, abstract, and keywords) in the body of your submission email message.

Akan <akan(a)ece.gatech.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER) Special Issue on WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA SENSOR NETWORKS Submission deadline: April 30, 2007 _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have recently been the focus of a significant amount of attention and effort of the research community. The main motivation has been to address the challenges posed by the WSN paradigm, i.e., limited node power, processing, and communication capabilities, dense network deployment, multi-hop communications, and heterogeneous application-specific requirements. The vast majority of these studies applies to conventional WSN applications which need reliable and efficient communication of scalar event features and sensor data such as temperature, pressure, humidity. With the availability of low-cost small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, microphones, which may ubiquitously capture multimedia content from the field, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) have been proposed and drawn the immediate attention of the research community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems, require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video.
