-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ICMAN'07 Deadline Extended to Oct. 10 Datum: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 16:59:06 -0500 (CDT) Von: Dr. Hongyi Wu <wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu> An: manet(a)ietf.org, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Paper submission deadline is extended to Oct. 10. [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2007, White Plains, NY March 19-23, 2007. http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~wu/ICMAN/ For close to quarter of a century, mobile communication has experienced an explosive growth, especially in the last decade or so. In particular, one area of mobile communication networks, the ad hoc networks, has attracted significant attention due to its challenging research problems. The ad hoc networks technology has spun off new research areas, such as mesh-based mobile networks and sensor networks. What characterizes nearly all of those mobile technologies is that during the exchange of information between the source and destination terminals, there exists a set of links which constitutes an end-to-end path over which the information can be exchanged. However, in some application scenarios, the connectivity between the mobile terminals does not always allow for creation of such a path. This could be due to very sparse network conditions (low node density) or due to unstable connectivity conditions (interference, fading, etc). Thus, in such scenarios, it would be often difficult, or even impossible, to form a well-connected mesh network for transmitting data through established end-to-end connections. In fact, even if there temporarily exists a path in the network for some portion of the communication, it is likely that the terminals will only be intermittently connected due to mobility. A simple example is that in a WLAN environment, mobile users may be connected to an AP for a while before moving out of its coverage, and then getting connected to a different AP. More examples are found in environments without access to infrastructure at all. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to intermittently connected mobile ad hoc networks (ICMAN), which encompasses the scope of delay or disruption tolerant networks (or DTN), and bringing together state-of-the-art contributions in this emerging area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - New architecture design - Novel transport and routing protocols - Reliability and fault tolerance - Energy, processing power and storage requirement - Mobility modeling and mobility management - Localization and node synchronization - Security, privacy and incentives for co-operation - Resource allocation and QoS support - Performance analysis and evaluation - Delay-tolerant applications - Testbed implementation and experimental results Important Dates: - Submission deadline: Oct. 10, 2006 - Notification of acceptance: Nov. 22, 2006 - Camera-ready papers due: Dec. 22, 2006 - Workshop date: March 19-23, 2007 Submission Instructions : Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages.

You will receive a confirmation within 24 hours. All submissions must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed blindly and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop.

Please submit your paper titles and abstracts by Monday, October 2, 2006. Complete paper submissions are due by October 9, 2006. NSDI '07 focuses on the design principles of large-scale networked and distributed computer systems. Systems as diverse as Internet routing, peer-to-peer and overlay networks, sensor networks, Web-based systems, and network measurement infrastructures share a set of common challenges. Progress in any of these areas requires a deep understanding of how researchers are addressing the challenges of large-scale systems in other contexts. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the networking and systems community--including computer networks, distributed systems, and operating systems--to foster a broad approach to addressing our common research challenges. The Program Committee seeks a broad variety of work that furthers the knowledge and understanding of the networked systems community as a whole, continues a significant research dialog, or pushes the architectural boundaries of large-scale network services. We solicit papers describing original and previously unpublished research. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Highly available and reliable networked systems * Security and robustness of networked systems * Novel architectures for networked systems (e.g., for specific application domains) * Overlay networks and peer-to-peer systems * Mobile, wireless, and sensor network systems * Network measurements, workload, and topology characterization * Autonomous and self-configuring networked systems * Managing, debugging, and diagnosing problems in networked systems * Resource management and virtualization for networked systems * Distributed storage, caching, and query processing * Practical protocols and algorithms for networked systems * Application experiences based on networked systems * Novel operating system support for networked systems For more information and submission guidelines, please visit http://www.usenix.org/nsdi07/cfpa Important Dates: Paper titles and abstracts due: October 2, 2006, 11:59 p.m. GMT Complete paper submissions due: October 9, 2006, 11:59 p.m. GMT Notification of acceptance: December 22, 2006 Papers due for shepherding: January 26, 2007 Final papers due: February 20, 2007 The 4th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '07) will be held April 11-13, 2007, in Cambridge, MA, USA The symposium will consist of two and a half days of technical presentations, including refereed papers.
