[Fwd: [Tccc] First International Workshop on "Wireless mesh: moving towards applications" (WiMeshNets 2006)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] First International Workshop on "Wireless mesh: moving towards applications" (WiMeshNets 2006) Datum: Fri, 28 Apr 2006 12:15:28 +0200 Von: Nicola Scalabrino <nicola.scalabrino(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, manet(a)ietf.org, sigmobile-l(a)acm.uiuc.edu CALL FOR PAPERS WiMeshNets 2006 (http://wimeshnets.org) First International Workshop on "Wireless mesh: moving towards applications" (Co-located with QShine 2006, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) August 10, 2006 Recent advances in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) provide promising opportunities in communication paradigms. WMNs do not depend on wired communication infrastructure and their mesh connectivity provides inherent built-in redundancy. This makes them also good candidates for providing an alternative communication mechanism in the face of disasters when normal communication infrastructure is destroyed. WMNs build upon multi-hop forwarding of data packets from access nodes towards gateways to the fixed network and thus share many properties of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. So far almost all existing research effort related to Mobile Ad Hoc networks has been based mostly on the assumptions that the nodes are highly mobile and are mainly battery operated. Thus, most of the protocols and mechanisms try to conserve energy and cope with frequent topology changes. In WMNs these assumptions can be relaxed which enables the design of new protocols and services for WMNs. Supporting any application over wireless mesh networks is however a challenging task due to the multi-hop forwarding of packets which also limits the scalability of WMNs. Nevertheless, WMNs have promising commercial potential as they are supposed to provide cheap wireless network coverage and access. Towards this aim the traditional approaches to routing and to service provisioning should be reconsidered taking into account the intrinsic characteristics of WMNs and those of new and emerging applications. This could pave the way to the assessment of this technology which is expected to conquer new markets in the next few years by taking advantage of the growth of heterogeneous networks. Authors are invited to submit original full papers not currently under review by other conferences on any aspect of “Wireless mesh: moving towards applications”. Contributions describing theoretical research, protocol design, experiments and measurements, commercial deployments, business models, or position/vision statements are all encouraged. Descriptions of work in progress, test trials, and future work plans are highly appreciated. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Architectures for Wireless Mesh Networks • Middleware support in Wireless Mesh Networks • Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks • Fairness Issues for Wireless Mesh Networks • Multicasting and Broadcasting issues in Wireless Mesh Networks • Security and Intrusion Detection for Wireless Mesh Networks • Handoff and mobility management in Wireless Mesh Networks • System prototypes and experimental evaluation of Wireless Mesh Networks • Scheduling and Queuing mechanisms to provide QoS in Wireless Mesh Networks • Gaming applications over Wireless Mesh Networks • Service level agreement and mesh organization • Modeling and Performance Evaluation • Seamless internetworking with other type of networks (like sensor networks) • Cross Layer Design and Interactions in Wireless Mesh Networks • Transport Layer Protocols over Wireless Mesh Networks • Deployment and configuration management • Voice and Video over Wireless Mesh Networks • Traffic Modeling • Mesh Networking Proposal Standards for IEEE 802(R) Wireless Lans • Authentication, Charging and Cooperation for Wireless Mesh Networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the same manner as those of QShine, and will be available from the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers will be required to register in order for the paper to appear in the workshop proceedings. Important dates Full paper manuscript due: May 12, 2006 Midnight US EST Acceptance Notification: June 13, 2006 Camera ready manuscripts due: June 30, 2006 Workshop date: August 10, 2006 Submission Instructions Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the full paper in English language.

Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular ad hoc networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Following the successes of VANET 2004 held in Philadelphia and VANET 2005 held in Cologne, Germany, the Third ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks will be held in Los Angeles, September 29, 2006, in conjunction with MobiCom 2006. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). 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: - Safety and non-safety applications - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Communication protocol design - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds VANETs present a highly active field of research, development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs, for example consortia like VSC (US), C2CCC (Europe) and InternetITS (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), in font no smaller than 11 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2006 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2006/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Reminder: WCAN'06 - 2nd Workshop on Cryptography for Ad hoc Networks - deadline in less than a week Datum: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 18:54:08 -0400 (EDT) Von: Giovanni Di Crescenzo <giovanni(a)research.telcordia.com> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu *Apologies for multiple copies* WCAN'06 2nd Workshop on Cryptography for Ad hoc Networks July 16th, 2006 location: S. Servolo Island, Venice, Italy A Satellite Workshop of the 33rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP 2006) web page: http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/wcan06/wcan06page.html ________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless ad hoc networks are today receiving a lot of attention for militar, commercial and civilian applications, thus raising several challenging security, privacy and anonimity research questions. The security research community has mainly focused on securing routing and is only recently widening its scope of analysis to other security areas. The cryptography research community has mainly focused on abstract models of networks like the Internet; however, cryptographic protocols for the Internet face serious challenges to be adapted to the ad-hoc, partial-connectivity, mobile, resource-constrained and infrastructureless nature of ad-hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to help bridging this gap, towards a more comprehensive investigation of security and cryptographic tools, analysis and modeling methodologies over ad hoc networks, by bringing together the cryptography, network security, and wireless networking communities. We seek submissions containing original research on all aspects of cryptology that are motivated by their applicability to ad hoc networks, including wireless, cellular, sensor, mesh, peer-to-peer and RFID-based networks. Short surveys of related sub-areas are also encouraged. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics that are of interest to this workshop, when clearly motivated by and clearly focusing on ad hoc networks (cryptology papers not focusing on or not describing applications to ad hoc networks do not fit in the workshop interest area): - Modeling of cryptographic tasks - Solutions to cryptographic tasks under party mobility - Solutions to cryptographic tasks under resource constraints - Secure routing - Bootstrapping of security associations - Distributed public-key infrastructures - Key-agreement, key-management and key-(pre)distribution - Entity authentication - Trust establishment - Privacy-enhancing technologies - Threshold cryptography - Identity-Based cryptography - Policy-based cryptography - Secure multi-party protocols - Security in distributed algorithms and protocols ________________________________ Important Dates: Paper submissions due:April 30th, 2006 Notifications to the authors:May 30th, 2006 Camera-ready papers dueJune 14th, 2006 ICALP 06 ConferenceJuly 9-16 2006 WCAN 06 WorkshopJuly 16th, 2006 ________________________________ Author Instructions: Two Paper Categories: Regular papers and Surveys. (Please explicitly specify category in the title, for example "Survey Paper: All Cryptographic Schemes for Ad Hoc Networks".) Submission Instructions: Submissions need to be at most 8-page long in a standard one-column format (suggested format: LaTeX, in article style), excluding appendices. Authors can e-mail their submission (including title, abstract, and keywords in the first page) in .pdf or .ps format to wcan06chair(a)research.telcordia.com, specifying in the e-mail title and authors of the submission Submitted papers must be original work that is authorized to be released and does not substantially duplicate work that has been previously published or is currently being refereed for publication in another workshop, conference or journal. Papers accepted to this workshop will be published on the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS). Authors of accepted papers will need to write their final version in LaTeX, using ENTCS style files, and send the resulting .pdf file ________________________________ Program Chairs: Giovanni Di Crescenzo (Telcordia Technologies, NJ, USA).
