-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Submission Deadline Extended to January 15th: Special Issue Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 10:15:20 +0100 From: Antonio Iera <iera(a)mailer.ing.unirc.it> To: Ssc(a)cassius.ee.usyd.edu.au, Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, multicomm(a)comsoc.org CC: iera(a)ing.unirc.it, molinaro(a)deis.unical.it, kdlee(a)etri.re.kr, Salkintzis Apostolis-Y1026C <salki(a)motorola.com> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The submission Deadline of the Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on "The Synergy of Space and Terrestrial Communications in Next-generation Hybrid Wireless Systems" has been extended to JANUARY, 15th, 2005 ------------------ SECOND CALL ------------------------------------------ In the last few years mobile radio communications have experienced great transformations and are still rapidly changing. The main “fuel” of this evolutionary process is, undoubtedly, represented by the strong user request for new conception multimedia applications (not only with a point-to-point nature, but also broadcast and even multicast) to be accessed in a “/ubiquitous/” fashion. An obvious solution to this challenging issue is represented by enhancing platforms based on the synergic inter-working of different technologies and algorithms, including the satellite ones. By this we mean that it is important to carry to its extremes the concept of “/hybrid/ /wireless platform”/ by including also satellite segments not only acting as mere /bent-pipes/, but acting as an additional /radio access segment/ to be overlapped to the terrestrial ones. Broadband Satellite systems for Personal Communication Systems (PCS) are the last generation of satellites, characterized by the possibility of providing the user with direct connections without an intermediate link to a gateway and usually able to support broadband traffic coming from a wide range of multimedia applications. These systems can be either GEO or LEO satellites, use very high frequency bands, such as the Ku, Ka, and W bands, and, in any case, are equipped with sophisticated on-board switching and signal processing functionality, and high-capacity inter-satellite links. The way these systems interact with the terrestrial (preferably based on the TCP/IP protocol) networks is manifold. Whichever the way is, the new generation of satellite constellations is going to become an integral part of the network. In the highlighted communication scenario it shall not be neglected that a valid prospective alternative (or a complement) to satellites is represented by stratospheric platforms, called High Altitude Platforms (HAPs). Several advantages derives from Satellite and Terrestrial system integration, but numerous as well are the issues which remain still open and need further investigations. In the USA, Europe, and Japan great efforts are being taken to develop prototypes of new conception satellite platforms, ready for future telecommunication scenarios. Many projects currently aim at contributing to the design and deployment of so-called “/global mobile broadband system/” (GMBS), a unique satellite/terrestrial infrastructure ensuring nomadic users access to multimedia services with a negotiated QoS. Notwithstanding the many researches conducted on the topic, it still seems that a comprehensive analysis of the impact on the offered services deriving from the presence of HAP/Satellite platforms in hybrid wireless communications systems is still lacking. In the guest editors’ opinion, a feasibility study on this argument is extremely important. Furthermore, many difficulties that Satellites/HAPs are still experiencing are more related to the lack of a clear understanding of their “killer” utilization in a next generation communications scenario than to technological limitations. Therefore, main objectives of the present Special Issue consist in: analyzing the main features that characterize the different satellite platforms currently available on the market; highlighting their intrinsic points of strength and limitations when they are integrated with terrestrial segments and thus called to handle multimedia traffic with different QoS constraints and requirements; describing how most of the emerging problems have been successfully faced by novel technological and protocol solutions; and making clearly emerge what is still under way of definition, what still needs further research efforts to come to a solution, and which is the frontier of the next few years research in the field of satellite and terrestrial networks integration. This will, hopefully, give the readers a complete vision of the state-of-the-art in such a strategic field as well as the instruments to understand the role of HAPs and/or satellites in the cited multimedia hybrid wireless scenarios, contribute to the understanding of their actual potentiality and limitations, highlight where there is still margin of research and development for the academic/industrial community, and contribute to the activities of deployment and/or to the design and implementation of effective terrestrial-satellite platforms. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to: · New Technologies, Algorithms, and Protocols for Next Generation Communications via Satellite · HAP based systems and applications and their internetworking with terrestrial systems · Integrated positioning/communications platforms based on Satellite/HAP for future applications · Novel services in Hybrid Wireless Systems · Evolutionary Scenarios for Hybrid Wireless Systems · Challenges and solutions for QoS provisioning to next generation multimedia services in Hybrid Wireless Systems · MBMS (Multicast and Broadcast Multimedia Services) architectures and protocols in Hybrid Wireless Systems · Demonstrator and prototypes resulting from relevant projects and research activities · New conception terminals for Hybrid Wireless Systems · The role of new band (Ka, W, etc.) payloads in future internetworked scenarios · Interplanetary Satellite Missions · Standardization activities and project reports All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: E-NEXT.members: CFP: RawNet. Paper submission deadline approaching Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 18:56:04 +0100 From: Chadi Barakat <Chadi.Barakat(a)sophia.inria.fr> Organization: INRIA U.R. Sophia Antipolis To: <members(a)ist-e-next.net> and this is another workshop to be held in conjunction with WiOpt 2005 (www.wiopt.org). To remind you that the entire event (symposium + workshops) is supported by E-Next. Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. CALL FOR PAPERS =============== RAWNET Workshop on Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks http://www.rawnet.org In conjunction with WiOpt 2005 April 3, Trentino, Italy This workshop focuses on models and techniques for addressing resource allocation problems in wireless networks. Resource management in wireless environments is extremely complex due to the specific characteristics of wireless communications, such as user mobility, interference, the intrinsically scarce bandwidth, and the highly variable and unpredictable propagation conditions. These features present a vast range of novel and fundamental challenges as wireless networks evolve to support an expanding variety of data applications. In particular, data streams have drastically different traffic characteristics and Quality-of-Service requirements from voice services, urging a radical overhaul of voice-centric air-interface and resource allocation paradigms. In addition, existing congestion control protocols for data flows like TCP were originally designed for wireline networks, and are not well-suited to wireless links which are inherently slow and error-prone. A further dimension of complexity stems from the growing diversity in network architectures, as wireless LAN's and ad hoc networks rapidly proliferate, giving rise to a wide spectrum of pricing and routing issues. Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * air-interface scheduling * cross-layer design * dimensioning, provisioning and traffic engineering * load balancing and routing * models and techniques for optimization of wireless networks * performance evaluation methods for wireless networks * power control and energy-efficient communication * pricing and incentive schemes in ad hoc networks Important Dates =============== Submission deadline: December 17, 2004 Notification date: February 11, 2005 Camera-ready due: February 26, 2005 Papers should be formatted according to the IEEE double-column standard format with 11 pt font size.

The conference invites original papers, review papers, technical reports and case studies on WWW in particular the emerging role of so-called WWW-based Communities. Domain: It is increasingly important for our culture to bring people together and to promote dynamics in professional organizations, mutual understanding, learning and harmony. Creating "virtual communities" is one major way to do this. The Web Based Communities 2005 conference aims at sharing and aggregating scientifically proven methods on how to organize and moderate WWW-based communities. These communities do not limit participants to particular locations - the international and multicultural dimension is a most challenging one. Good WWW communities undergo a continuous evolution and adapt to the changing world. The nature of these communities can be corporate, scientific, social or educational. Pragmatic questions which need to be addressed include: What software tools are the most adequate and how to use them? How to promote your community so that new members can find it? How to protect the members' privacy? How to moderate discussions and how to provide information that people can use? How to create and maintain a sense of trust and commitment among the members? In addition, sociology, education, communication and philosophy issues are addressed as the main disciplines reflected in building WWW-based communities, although critical theories on societies and post-modernism are also relevant starting points. New and imminent technologies will be discussed. Objectives: The Web Based Communities 2005 Conference aims at bringing together new vital understanding of WWW communities and what new initiatives mean. Each new perspective is potentially a catalyst for finding new architectures. National and regional-oriented communities may soon be relegated to a subordinate position compared to interest-oriented communities. Multiculturalism, critical thinking, expressing aesthetic aspects of our identity, and finding sparring partners for sharpening our ideologies, are all processes that need the new communication infrastructures. The targeted audience is scientists and members and moderators of WWW communities who feel responsible for optimizing its quality and effect. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The better papers will be candidate for the "International Journal of Web Based Communities" (IJWBC); ISSN: 1477 - 8394 [4 issues per year] * Types of submissions Full and Short Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. * Subject indications (but not limited to) The history, architecture and future of virtual communities 1. From mobility to connectivity 2.
