-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Workshop on Delay Tolerant Mobile Networks (DTMN'06) Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 22:28:51 -0600 (CST) From: Dr. Hongyi Wu <wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu> To: manet(a)ietf.org, <dtn-interest(a)mailman.dtnrg.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, <announce(a)tcos.org> ======================================================================== IEEE Workshop on Delay Tolerant Mobile Networks (DTMN'06) in conjunction with IEEE IWCMC 2006 (IEEE Sponsorship Pending) ======================================================================== Objective: Mobile communication has experienced an explosive growth during the last few years. Various researches have been carried out for mesh-based mobile networks, where an end-to-end path from the source to the destination always exists. In many application scenarios, however, the connectivity between the mobile stations is poor, and thus it is difficult to form a well-connected mesh network for transmitting data through end-to-end connections. In this workshop we aim to explore novel designs for such delay tolerant mobile networks and bring together state-of-the-art contributions in this emerging area. Topic of Interests: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * New architecture of delay tolerant mobile networks * New design of protocol stack for delay tolerant mobile networks * Delay and fault tolerance in mobile peer-to-peer and sensor networks * Mobility management and modeling * Security and privacy * Localization and synchronization * System modeling and performance evaluation * Testbed implementation and experimental results Submission deadline and guideline: see details at IEEE IWCMC website http://www.iwcmc2006.cs.wmich.edu/.

[Fwd: [ISCC06] Final CFP: ACM TOIT Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ISCC06] Final CFP: ACM TOIT Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 10:36:41 -0500 From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Final Call for Papers ---------------------------------------------- ACM Transactions on Internet Technology http://www.acm.org/toit/soa-middleware-cfp.pdf ---------------------------------------------- Special Issue on ----------------------------------------- Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing ----------------------------------------- Middleware is a distributed software layer that sits above the network operating system and below the application layer and abstracts the heterogeneity of the underlying environment. It provides an integrated distributed environment whose objective is to simplify the task of programming and managing distributed applications, and to provide value-added services such as naming and transactions to enable easier development and integration of applications and services. Middleware is about integration and interoperability of applications and services running on heterogeneous computing and communications devices. The role of middleware will continue to become increasingly important especially in emerging technologies such as mobile- and service-oriented computing and web services, where the integration of different applications and services from different wired and wireless businesses and service providers become increasingly important. Service-oriented computing is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which is an architectural style for building software applications that use services available in a network such as the web. It promotes loose coupling between software components so that they can be reused. Applications in SOA are built based on services, which is an implementation of a well-define business functionality, and such services can be consumed by clients in different applications or business processes. SOA provides a level of flexibility that was not possible before in the sense that services are software components with well-defined interfaces that are implementation independent, that services can be dynamically discovered, and composite services can be built from aggregates of other services. Especially applications running on mobile devices can benefit from the flexibility which is provided by SOA. All those benefits, however, raise challenges that need to be addressed by middleware. Middleware will play an essential role in managing and provisioning service-oriented applications. As a result, middleware will be everywhere! The aim of this special issue is be to present most recent research findings on “middleware for service-oriented computing”. We are seeking papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: Middleware for selection and interaction among services Middleware for dynamic selection and composition of services/applications Middleware for dynamic coordination of services/applications Middleware for context-aware services/applications Middleware for managing services/applications Middleware for provisioning QoS-enabled services/applications Middleware for interoperable services Performance evaluation of middleware for service-oriented computing Submission Guidelines --------------------- All papers must be submitted by the midnight (EST) of December 1, 2005. The page limit is 50 double-spaced pages, with a 12pt font size. Please email your paper in PDF format to papers AT cis.uoguelph.ca. Important Dates --------------- Papers are due: December 1, 2005 Notifications: March 1, 2006 Revised papers: May 1, 2006 Notifications of final acceptance based on Editor-in-Chief’ comments: July 1, 2006 Final papers: September 1, 2006 Publication: First available issue (possibly third or fourth quarter of 2007) Guest Editors ------------- Qusay H.
