-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP IEEE COM MAG Special Issue on QoS based Routing Algorithms for heterogeneous networks Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2006 12:14:55 +0100 From: Abdelhamid Mellouk <mellouk(a)univ-paris12.fr> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, arp(a)cines.fr, <tarot(a)hds.utc.fr>, <membres-asf(a)irisa.fr>, <lifl(a)lifl.fr>, <rge(a)u-strasbg.fr>, <reres(a)laas.fr> Dear Friends and Colleagues, Please note the following CFP: Deadline for Papers Submission is june 1st. Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine, http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/cfpcommag0207.htm Special Issue on "Quality of Service based Routing Algorithms for Heterogeneous Networks" Background Currently, due to the growing needs in telecommunications (VoD, Video-Conference, VoIP, etc.) and the diversity of transported flows, Internet network does not meet the requirements of future integrated-service networks, which will carry out multimedia data traffic with a high Quality of Service (QoS). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high quality control mechanism to check the network traffic load and ensure QoS requirements. It's clear that the integration of these QoS parameters will increase the complexity of the algorithms used in heterogeneous networks. Thus, there will be QoS relevant technological challenges in today emerging heterogeneous networks that include different types of networks (e.g., wired, wireless, mobile, etc.). We shall focus in this special topic on QoS routing policies, and their effectiveness on heterogeneous wired and wireless networks. Thus, in this special issue, we are seeking papers that explore routing algorithms which take into account the dynamic's change of communication networks and discuss their advantages and drawbacks when compared to traditional solutions. Compared to the previous special issues on the integration of QoS, this issue will focus on a tutorial-based approach, and on the evolution of routing decisions applied in heterogeneous networks, which may include the load level traffic patterns and topology of the network changes, that the routing policy adapts the decision's router. Scope of Contributions Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance on all aspects of QoS routing policies and related areas with concrete experimental studies to show the validity of their approach. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but are not limited to : - Dynamic state-dependent routing policies - Quality of Service policies versus Best effort policies - Routing in hybrid Networks - Dynamic Routing in inband or outband network control protocols - Traffic shaping in QoS Routing - Policy-Based Management in QoS Routing - Ad hoc networking routing solutions for heterogenous wired and wireless networks - The role of dynamic routing in irregular traffic networks - QoS based routing and data gathering protocols for wireless sensor networks Submission Instructions For manuscript submission, the authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines under "Information for Authors" at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.

To exploit these potentialities, simulation modeling and theoretical analyses have to be complemented by real experiences (e.g., measurements on real prototypes) which provide both a direct evaluation of ad hoc networks and, at the same time, precious information to realistically model these systems. The need for more experimental activities stimulated a new community of researchers combining theoretical research on ad hoc networking with experiences/measurements obtained by implementing ad hoc network prototypes. The aim of REALMAN is to bring together this community. Following the success of the first edition, this workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing measurement studies and experiences based on real ad hoc network test-beds and prototypes. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols *development*, *measurement* and *testing*, in all areas related to ad hoc networking. We encourage authors willing to submit a regular paper to also submit a *demo* proposal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Ad Hoc Networks Applications * System Prototypes and Experiences * Mobile Ad Hoc Networks * Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks * Sensor Networks * Mesh Networks * Vehicular Networks * Protocols Implementation and Testing * Middleware Platforms for Ad Hoc Networks * Ad Hoc Networking for Pervasive Environments * Situated Autonomic Communications * Location Services * Positioning and Tracking Technologies and Services * Measurement Studies * Mobility Models based on Real Data * Enabling Technologies (802.11, 802.15, etc.) * Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks DEMO SESSION A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing real prototypes at work. Demo proposals are highly welcome, and will be evaluated by the Program Committee. An extended abstract (up to three pages) describing the demo will be published in the workshop proceedings. More information on demo-proposal submission can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman. PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication.

To exploit these potentialities, simulation modeling and theoretical analyses have to be complemented by real experiences (e.g., measurements on real prototypes) which provide both a direct evaluation of ad hoc networks and, at the same time, precious information to realistically model these systems. The need for more experimental activities stimulated a new community of researchers combining theoretical research on ad hoc networking with experiences/measurements obtained by implementing ad hoc network prototypes. The aim of REALMAN is to bring together this community. Following the success of the first edition, this workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing measurement studies and experiences based on real ad hoc network test-beds and prototypes. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols *development*, *measurement* and *testing*, in all areas related to ad hoc networking. We encourage authors willing to submit a regular paper to also submit a *demo* proposal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Ad Hoc Networks Applications * System Prototypes and Experiences * Mobile Ad Hoc Networks * Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks * Sensor Networks * Mesh Networks * Vehicular Networks * Protocols Implementation and Testing * Middleware Platforms for Ad Hoc Networks * Ad Hoc Networking for Pervasive Environments * Situated Autonomic Communications * Location Services * Positioning and Tracking Technologies and Services * Measurement Studies * Mobility Models based on Real Data * Enabling Technologies (802.11, 802.15, etc.) * Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks DEMO SESSION A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing real prototypes at work. Demo proposals are highly welcome, and will be evaluated by the Program Committee. An extended abstract (up to three pages) describing the demo will be published in the workshop proceedings. More information on demo-proposal submission can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman. PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. For more information please refer to http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman. SPECIAL ISSUES Distinguished papers will be invited to submit extended versions to high-quality journal.

NEWS - Pictures from Lipari: http://www.medhoc.diit.unict.it/2006/pictures.html ************************************************************ PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS MED HOC NET 2006 The Fifth Annual MEDITERRANEAN AD HOC NETWORKING Workshop http://www.medhoc.diit.unict.it/2006/ June 14-17 2006 Lipari, Italy ************************************************************ Ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research community in the last several years. Now that some of the fundamental issues and challenges of ad hoc networking have been clearly assessed, the focus is partially shifting to new issues, which include application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.), autonomous Organization and operation, optimization and control, service creation and support, middleware. Moreover, wireless MESH networking is emerging as an "ad hoc spin-off" aimed at extending and integrating the multi-hop paradigm with more traditional networking, which poses new and exciting technical challenges. Med-Hoc-Net 2006 is the major annual international workshop aiming to serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry from all over the world. Sharing ideas, views, results, and experiences in the field of wireless multi-hop networking is what Med-Hoc-Net 2006 intends to be about. Anything from theoretical and experimental achievements, to innovative ad hoc systems, prototyping efforts, and case studies is of interest to the Med-Hoc-Net community. The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2006 cover a variety of topics related to ad hoc and MESH networks, including but not limited to: - Novel multi-hop wireless network architectures - Routing algorithms and protocols - MAC protocols, scheduling, power control and radio resource sharing - Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks - Middleware for ad hoc networks - Application driven architectures and protocols - Sensor network applications and protocols - Vehicular networks - Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks - Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes - Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, etc.) - Self organization and network reconfiguration - Optimization models and algorithms - Resource and service discovery - Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc networks - Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming, etc.) - QoS support - Security and privacy The members of program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
