It involves important technological areas like computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), workflow, computer- assisted design, databases, distributed systems, and concurrent programming. In the past few years, the prosperity of cooperative computing has been accelerated by the ubiquity of the Internet and the advent of wireless technologies, giving rise to the new research discipline of Collaborative Internet Computing (CIC). Now, cooperating parties can work over the Internet at any time and place. At the same time, we have also witnessed an enormous leap in communication speed/bandwidth as brought by advancement in technologies. This has opened up a wide range of new cooperative applications that were not feasible in the past. Since 2000, a series of three workshops on CIC have been organized by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The workshops have served as a platform for researchers in the related disciplines of CIC to present and exchange their latest works and ideas. Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of high quality submissions. Also, many important research results have been reported which subsequently have influenced other works on CIC. These have strengthened our belief that a community with common interest in CIC has been formed and a critical mass of researchers has been built up. This special issue will provide a forum for timely and in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying Cooperative Interactive Computing. Topics of interest include (but not limited to): * Agents and Brokers for Cooperative Computing * Human-Computer Interaction * Interaction Models and Protocols for Cooperative Systems * Internet Communication Infrastructure for Collaboration * Middleware for Collaboration * Java, CORBA, DCOM, and XML Cooperative Application * Workflow Systems * Mobile Cooperative Systems * Distributed Multimedia Systems * Enterprise Knowledge Management * Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing * Computer-Supported Cooperative Work * Evaluation Methodologies of Cooperative Systems * Case Studies Submission Guidelines: Please submit the electronic version of your paper to cic2004(a)comp.polyu.edu.hk.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] ACM VANET 2005 - Deadline Extended Date: Thu, 5 May 2005 17:59:48 -0700 From: Chen-Nee Chuah <chuah(a)ece.ucdavis.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> In response to numerous requests, the submission deadline for ACM VANET 2005 has been extended to May 16, 2005. =========================================== CALL FOR PAPERS VANET 2005 The Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2005 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Web site: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2005/ Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 16, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2005 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 13, 2005 The goal of this workshop is to explore the development of wireless vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) technologies. Enabled by short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-roadside), the VANET vision includes vehicular realtime and safety applications, sharing the wireless channel with mobile applications from a large, decentralized array of commercial service providers. VANET safety applications include collision and other safety warnings. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. Following the success of VANET 2004 held last year in Philadelphia, VANET 2005, the Second ACM International Workshop on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks, will be held in Cologne, Germany, September 2, 2005, in conjunction with MobiCom 2005. 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 commercial applications * Protocol design (including low-power, cross-layer, etc.) * Security and privacy * Power control * Multi-channel organization and operation * Network management * Modulation and coding * Channel modeling The opportunities for VANET are growing rapidly. In December 2003, the U.S. FCC approved 75 MHz of spectrum for Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), and the resulting DSRC system is expected to be the first wide-scale VANET in North America. In Japan, two DSRC standards have been adopted (the ARIB STD-T75 in 2001, the ARIB STD-T88 in 2004), and Japanese auto manufactures are working with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation in the third phase of an ambitious Advanced Safety Vehicle project. The German Ministry of Education and Research has sponsored the Fleetnet and Network on Wheels projects. Throughout the world, there are many national/international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANETs. Creating high-performance, highly scalable, and secure VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community. Yet, certain limitations commonly assumed in ad hoc networks are mitigated in VANET. For example, VANET may marshal ample computational and power resources. Mobility patterns are constrained by road paths and driving speed restrictions. As opposed to sensor networks, VANET represents high resource/performance wireless technologies. 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 × 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.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Call for Paper: JSAC-MRNM]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Paper: JSAC-MRNM Date: Tue, 3 May 2005 10:56:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Fan Zhao <fanzhao(a)ucdavis.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications MOBILE ROUTERS AND NETWORK MOBILITY http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/mobile_routers.html Network mobility support is concerned with managing the mobility of an entire network that is changing its point of attachment to the Internet and thus its reachability in the Internet topology. If network mobility is not explicitly supported by some mechanisms, existing sessions break and connectivity to the global Internet is lost. A mobile network is composed of Mobile Router(s) (MR) and Mobile Network Nodes (MNN) that can be fixed or mobile. There has been rapid development in network mobility support, i.e., providing Internet connectivity to the networks that move using mobile routers since the inception of Mobile IPv4 in 1996. Seamless Internet access in public transportation such as in trains and busses can be possible if mobile routers are used. Cars with low-power sensors seamlessly connected to the Internet constitute yet another example of networks which move. To date, some airline companies announced Internet connectivity support during commercial flights and this trend is expected to accelerate and cover most if not all flights. This issue is focused on modeling, analysis, and simulation of network mobility support protocols. We solicit papers presenting original and unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics: * Modeling and Analysis of Network Mobility o Modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile router o Protocols for route optimization o Mobility issues inside a mobile network o Mobile IPv6 extensions for route optimization o Nested mobile networks o Multihomed mobile networks o Operational issues to deploy mobile networks o Auto-configuration for mobile networks o Mobile router support on cellular phone platforms * Services in the Networks that Move o Service advertisement and discovery protocols in networks that move o Specifications nad models of services for network mobility o Encryption and authentication in service access for network mobility * Security Issues in Network Mobility o Security analysis of present network mobility support protocols o Applications of AAA and EAP to network mobility o Interaction with security-enhanced modules in other layers (vertically) or other middle boxes (horizontally) Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. Authors MUST submit their draft manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website, together with a short abstract (approximately 150 words) in the EDAS website form. Please note potential authors should create their own accounts through the EDAS peer review website before submitting manuscript(s). EDAS will accept manuscripts in PDF format only. There will be one round of reviewers and acceptance will be limited to those papers requiring only moderate revisions. The following timetable applies: Manuscript Submission: JUNE 1, 2005 Acceptance Notification: December 1, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: March 1, 2006 Publication: 3rd Quarter 2006 Guest Editorial Board: Behcet Sarikaya Computer Science Dept Univ of Northern British Columbia Prince George, BC Canada V2N 4Z9 sarikaya(a)unbc.ca S.
