[Fwd: SIMA 2005 @ MILCOM: Call for Papers deadline extention!]

=== Wer schon immer mal mit Donald Rummsfeld Bekanntschaft machen wollte ;-) === Call for Papers � Extended Deadlines ! ! ! Workshop on Situation Management (SIMA 2005) In conjunction with MILCOM 2005, Atlantic City, October 17, 2005 More information in http://www.milcom.org/2005/call_paper_sima.htm. According to modern US defense doctrine, future wars will be characterized by heightened mobility, increased operational tempo and more complex and dynamic situations. As a result, military commanders will require effective methods of situation monitoring, awareness and control -- operations collectively identifiable as Situation Management. Critical aspects of situation management include managing and controlling sources of information, processing real-time or near real-time streams of events, representing and integrating low-level events and higher-level concepts, multi-source information fusion, information presentation that maximizes human comprehension, reasoning about what is happening and what is important. Furthermore, commanders will require management support systems that include control over their current command options, prediction of probable situation evolutions, and analysis of potential threats and vulnerabilities. Similar situation management tasks exist in several other domains including network management, homeland security, emergency/crisis management and real-time management of situations in financial, medical, and other service-related domains. As a rule, situations often involve a large number of dynamic objects that change states in time and space, and engage each other into fairly complex spatio-temporal relations. From the management viewpoint it is important to understand the situations in which these objects participate, to recognize emerging trends and potential threats, and to undertake required actions. Understanding dynamic requires complex cognitive modeling, the building of ontologies, and continuous collection, filtering, and fusion of sensor, intelligence, database, Internet based and related information sources. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and decision makers from government, industry and academia to present the state of their research, development and systems needs in situation management, to discuss fundamental issues and problems and to identify future R&D directions. This workshop encourages contributions from multiple domains and disciplines. Technical papers are invited on topics describing specific information systems, techniques and algorithms that facilitate the process of situation management, including but not limited to the following topics: Situation Monitoring and Awareness Logical Foundations of Situation Calculus Situation Specification Languages Situations Ontologies and Semantics Reasoning about Situations Learning and Situation Discovery Predictive Situation Models Level 2+ Fusion Systems Threat Identification and Analysis Cognitive Models of Information Fusion Real-Time Event Management Operational Situations Battlespace Management Homeland Security Monitoring & Awareness Emergency Situations & Crisis Management Sensor and Ad Hoc Network Management Papers (max 6 pages) have to be submitted at MILCOM's Web site: http://www.milcom.org/2005/ Papers will be published on CD and appear in IEEE Xplore. Besides authors, workshop participants are encouraged to submit a short position statement expressing their thoughts on situation management. Send notifications on your submissions and inquiries to sima(a)comsoc.org. Revised Deadlines: Abstracts/Statements Due: March 31, 2005 (extended from March 15, 2005) Draft Papers Due: May 15, 2005 (extended from April 15, 2005) Notifications Due: June 15, 2005 (extended from May 30, 2005) Final Papers: July 29, 2005 More information in http://www.milcom.org/2005/call_paper_sima.htm.

Collaboration support systems serve as an important memory for the group. Ideally, such a system should evolve to become a knowledge base for the collaborators and for those who will use the results of the collaboration. How does one provide effective software structures and tools that will support a large group of people in their work, i.e., assembling, making use of, extracting and working with extensive collections of ideas and multi-media information? This question is still to be solved. The aim of this special issue is to make the point of the situation and to evaluate the state of the art in the field. Possible submissions should relate to both innovative proposals and global views of well-established systems/approaches not published elsewhere. Papers should present approaches relying on computational or mathematical models, and/or be supported by empirical evaluations. This call for papers will be distributed by means of mailing lists, a web site, flyers at relevant conferences and personal contacts of the guest editors. Each submission will be reviewed by three referees. The referees will be recruited among the constituent IEEE Technical Committee members for Collaborative Intelligent Systems, the program committee members of related conferences, and other experienced colleagues. This special issue solicits, but is not limited to, papers on topics that clearly address collaboration support systems, including: · Human requirements for collaboration on distributed computer systems; · Organizational behaviors on collaboration support systems; · Formal and abstract models for collaboration support systems; · Role and group structures on collaboration support systems; · Objects and agents in collaboration support systems; · Multi-user interface design for collaboration support systems; · Analysis and evaluations of collaboration support systems; · Security and privacy issues in collaboration support systems; · Information sharing in collaboration support systems; · Software engineering for collaboration support systems; and · Industry and enterprise application case study.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Call for papers: Wireless Mesh Networking]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for papers: Wireless Mesh Networking Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 15:54:20 -0500 (EST) From: Xudong Wang <wxudong(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ============================================================== Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Wireless Mesh Networking: Theories, Protocols, and Systems http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/mesh_cfp.htm ============================================================== Wireless mesh networking has become an indispensable technique for the next generation wireless networks. It is critical to large-scale wireless networks with no pre-existing infrastructure. It enables quick-and-easy extension of a local area network into a wide area. Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to various flavors of routing and transport protocols. However, the work is far from enough. The state-of-art is insufficient for deploying sizable wireless mesh networks. Important aspects such as network radio range, network capacity, scalability, manageability, and security remain open problems. To address capacity and scaling concerns, researchers are experimenting with systems that use multiple radios, frequency-agile radios, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas. Further, there are renewed interests in carrying out research on MAC protocols and cross-layer design that breaks the traditional networking layering norm. It is clear that such novel techniques are needed to increase system capacity, extend network range, and increase scale, if such networks are to become viable. Similarly, while there exist several security protocols for wireless networks, especially for IEEE 802.11 WLANs, it is still not clear how one can build a trustworthy network in a multi-hop ad hoc environment like wireless mesh networks. Finally, although new research results are published each year, progress on practical protocol implementation and system integration has lagged considerably. To ensure wireless mesh networks to be widely deployed, many research groups are starting to accumulate practical experience through building testbeds and deploying trial systems. In parallel to these efforts, several IEEE standard groups are also actively pursuing wireless mesh networking techniques. This special issue is devoted to the research and development of practical, deployable, and low-cost wireless mesh networks. Papers from both industry and academia will be solicited through an open call-for-papers. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, -- Techniques for capacity and range extension -- Multi-radio, multi-spectral systems -- Cognitive and frequency-agile radios -- Multichannel MACs, MAC protocol for directional antennas and MIMO systems -- High-performance scalable single-channel MACs -- Programmable MACs -- Cross-layer design and optimization -- Trustworthy networks, privacy and security models -- Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems -- Mobility, power, and topology management -- Network management with zero-configuration -- Practical system architecture of wireless mesh networks -- Testbed and deployment experience -- Application and usage scenarios -- Emerging standards: IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.15.5, IEEE 802.16 mesh, IEEE 802.20 mesh ============================================================== SUBMISSION Manuscript Due: April 1, 2005 Acceptance Notification: August 15, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: October 15, 2005 Publication: December, 2005 Prospective authors should follow the following guidelines to prepare their manuscripts: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html Please send PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to Xudong Wang (wxudong(a)ieee.org) no later than April 1, 2005. ============================================================== GUEST EDITORS Xudong Wang Senior Staff Research Engineer Kiyon, Inc.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: E-NEXT.members: CFP: JSAC special issue on Sampling the Internet Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 16:54:14 +0100 From: Chadi Barakat <Chadi.Barakat(a)sophia.inria.fr> Organization: INRIA U.R. Sophia Antipolis CC: <members(a)ist-e-next.net> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. All information can be found at http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/sampling_internet.html. Deadline for manuscript submission: OCTOBER 1, 2005. ======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications SAMPLING THE INTERNET: TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS Scope As the Internet continues to grow rapidly in size and complexity, it has become increasingly clear that its evolution is closely tied to a detailed understanding of network traffic. Network traffic measurements are invaluable for a wide range of tasks such as network capacity planning, traffic engineering, fault diagnosis, application and protocol performance profiling, and anomaly detection. This large and diverse set of applications raises the question of how to monitor the Internet in an efficient and scalable way. In the case of active monitoring (where probe packets are sent across the network to infer specific properties) the scalability issue arises from the size of the Internet and the potentially large number of end systems that one needs to instrument, as well as the number of probing experiments that one must conduct. Intuitively, sampling is an essential component of scalable Internet monitoring. Broadly speaking, sampling is the process of making partial observations of a system of interest, and drawing conclusions about the full behaviour of the system from these limited observations. The observation problem is concerned with minimising information loss whilst reducing the volume of collected data. It is this reduction that makes the collection process scalable. The way in which the partial information is transformed into knowledge of the system as a whole is the inversion problem. The inversion is in general imperfect and error-prone. The aim of this issue is to bring together work from researchers and practitioners devoted to the understanding of the practical and theoretical issues related to all aspects of sampling the Internet. In this context, sampling may take various forms. A classic example is to observe only a subset of the packets carried over a link, and then estimate traffic parameters which apply to all packets. Alternatively, one could target a subset of routers with packet probes in order to infer network characteristics such as the topology or routing matrix. Examples abound from a wide variety of application areas within Internet measurement, management, and analysis. Independent of subject area, papers will be in scope if they focus substantially on the sampling aspects of the problem under study, for example by exploring the tradeoff between observation and inversion processes, revealing the limitations of inversion techniques, analysing their properties, or proposing new ones, or by providing new insights by explicitly recognizing the impact of implicit sampling in many measurement studies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sampling and inverting traffic metrics with passive or active systems. - Internet end-to-end measurements seen from a sampling standpoint. - Sampling aspects of network topology inference. - Impact of sampling on anomaly detection. - Mechanisms for sampling live Internet traffic or collected traces. - Theoretical studies of the sampling/inversion problem (e.g., accuracy, complexity). - Distributed and adaptive sampling techniques. - New sampling methods. Submission guidelines Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions.
