[Tccc] CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on Practical Aspects of Mobility in Wireless Self-Organizing Networks

********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ********************

IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine

Special Issue on

"Practical aspects of mobility in
wireless self-organizing networks"

**********************************************************

Wireless and mobile computing advanced significantly in
the last decade. In particular, we now face the
possibility to spontaneously establish wireless self-
organizing networks, such as ad hoc, disruption-tolerant,
sensor, and wireless mesh networks. These spontaneous
self-organizing networks have been the focus of intensive
research activity in recent years. Spontaneous networks
arise from the cooperation of mobile devices in an ad hoc
fashion requiring no previous infrastructure in
place. A key point to couple research and real-life
applications in this context is to understand how mobility
(of devices, users, and applications) impacts practical
networking aspects.

The knowledge accumulated so far in the area of wireless
self-organizing networks is in general supported by either
simulation or theoretical analysis relying on strong
assumptions. The research community needs a step forward
and should definitely consider real aspects of mobility in
their protocols and algorithms. Such a situation is to be
compared with the one found for infrastructure-based
networks (e.g., cellular networks), in which mobility has
been thoroughly investigated (both theoretically and
through measurements) and properly incorporated in their
management architecture. In wireless self-organizing
networks, contrary to common belief, much is still to be
done in this domain, and definitive solutions are still
to emerge.

Mobility can no longer be seen as an issue to be hidden
from higher layers of the protocol stack, but as an
expected characteristic of today's communication systems.
In this context, it is of utmost importance to address
issues related to the impact of mobility as seen in
practice, covering characterization, modeling, and
applications of mobility in modern wireless networks. The
research community working on wireless self-organizing
networks has recently started giving more attention to
the practical mobility issues in this area. This may be
attested by the increasing number of initiatives worldwide
like the many measurement campaigns and the considerable
body of developed theoretical background work supported by
practical arguments (e.g., mobility models, mobility
increasing network capacity, relationship between node
mobility and wireless channel conditions).

The goal of this special issue is to help filling this gap
by presenting contributions ranging from the impact of
mobility on self-organizing networks to mobility-aware
architectures for self-organizing networks. As we intend
to focus on the practical impacts of mobility in wireless
self-organizing networks, papers presenting insights from
the applicability of mobility measurements and realistic
mobility models in this context are also expected. We will
be particularly interested in contributions that explore
mobility to improve the behavior of network protocols and
algorithms.

We are soliciting papers covering, but not limited to, the
following topics:

* Mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing
networks.
* Impact of mobility on self-organizing networks.
* Practical applicability of wireless testbeds and
mobility measurements.
* Realistic mobility models for self-organizing networks.
* Mobility-centric killer applications.

[Tccc] CFP: TVT SI on Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration and Telematics Applications

==============================================================
IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (TVT) on
Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration and Telematics Applications
==============================================================

For more than a hundred years, the benefits of personal and commercial
mobility, made possible by vehicular technology, have been a testimony to
the success of automobiles. Their collective presence --- more than a
billion registered cars, trucks and buses and growing in number --- places
a complex sustainability burden on society and on the planet through
factors such as roadway fatalities, fossil-fuel depletion, greenhouse gas
emissions & roadway congestion. During the past decade or so, there has
been a globally shared realization that in order to enhance the benefits
of automobiles and decrease their environmental footprint, the roadway
infrastructure and automobiles need to interact as part of an intelligent
transportation system (ITS). Coincident with the development of ITS, there
has been a much progress made with respect to transportation telematics
--- the interaction between automobiles and the infrastructure to deliver
services such as road-side assistance, automatic crash notification,
concierge assistance and vehicle health reports. There has been extensive
research & experimentation on both the underlying architectures and
technologies needed to fulfill the goals of ITS and deliver on the
expectations of telematics. A new era of vehicular technologies that
includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
communications is upon us, seeded by both (pre-competitive) public-sector
and private-sector funding. Examples include the dedicated short-range
communications (DSRC) radio under consideration in the United States (US)
for vehicle-infrastructure integration (VII) and a global system for
telematics (GST) chip-set in Europe. Examples of telematics or nomadic
device connectivity services include BMW's ASSIT in Europe, Ford's SYNC
and General Motors' OnStar, in the US and Toyota's G-Book in Japan.

Topics of Interest:
--------------------
- Vehicular technologies for intra-vehicle, V2V, V2I, extra-vehicle
networking & services;
- Vehicular technologies for connectivity to portable or nomadic digital
device & services;
- Vehicular technologies to enhance ITS and Telematics services.
- Microware radio & handover technologies for ITS and Telematics;
- Roadside system-level, board-level and chip-level electronics;
- Remote service provisioning and over-the-air vehicle software upgrade
technologies;
- End-to-end service delivery architectures, algorithms, protocols and
scalability;
- End-to-end quality of service, resource management, security & privacy;
- Rail transit vehicle interface and traffic management;
- Applications, including those relating to reduction in roadway
fatalities, fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, roadway
congestion, digital entertainment & lifecycle maintenance;
- Results from large-scale experimental systems, test-beds and field
trials;
- Business models for ITS and Telematics.

Authors should follow the IEEE TVT manuscript format and submission
procedure which can be found at the IEEE TVT home page
http://transactions.vtsociety.org/ under Information for Authors. There
will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers
needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should submit a PDF

[Tccc] CFP: ComNet - Special Issue on Autonomic and Self-Organising Systems

==========================================================================
CFP: COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL
*Special Issue on Autonomic and Self-Organising Systems*
( http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet )
==========================================================================

_CONTEXT_

The complexities of modern computing and communications systems are
well-known, as are the impact that these complexities have on their
construction, composition, management, maintenance and evolution. It is
now well-accepted that the total costs of ownership can have a significant
effect on the economics of many service offerings, and that unmanageable
complexity can threaten life and economic health in the event of failures.

Autonomic computing and communications apply notions of feedback control,
self-organisation, monitoring and reasoning to the construction and
management of large systems. Originally suggested by IBM as a way to
control total costs of ownership, the fields have expanded to address the
design and implementation of stable, "self-*" algorithms as well as the
overall design and analysis of adaptive properties and behaviour. Such
self-* systems offer to improve the dynamic responses of systems to
changing conditions, simplifying their construction, management and
deployment.

Although often considered separately, the interdependence of computing and
communications in the modern world implies that we apply autonomic
techniques on a whole-system basis that encompasses both aspects of
systems design. In this special issue we have two aims: to provide a guide
to a unified field of autonomic computing and communications through
invited contributions addressing cross-system and whole-system techniques;
and to present novel research contributions that advance the state of
autonomic and self-organising systems design. With this in mind, we invite
research contributions including (but most definitely not limited to) the
following topics:
- techniques for self-organisation at a system level,
- foundational science of autonomics and self-organisation,
- application of novel techniques to large-scale problems,
- self-stabilising and self-optimising algorithms,
- evaluations and evaluation methodologies for self-organising systems,
- managing trade-offs between system aspects.

Contributions addressing issues that cross between the autonomic computing
and communication fields are particularly welcome.

_IMPORTANT DATES_

- Deadline for Submission: 14 December 2007
- Notification of Acceptance: 04 February 2008
- Camera-Ready Copy Due: 24 March 2008
- Tentative Publication Date: August 2008

Overview
----------
Traditional wireless communication systems were providing very few or no
adaptation capabilities at all, as a result of the limited
transmission requirements that they were asked to fulfill. Nowadays, the
efficient support of a wide set of traffic kinds is
considered as one of the most important issues for modern wireless
communication systems. Different performance
improvement mechanisms are introduced in almost all layers of a typical
wireless protocol stack, trying to address this issue,
each one from a different perspective. However, in order to maximize the
optimization capability of each separate mechanism,
there is a need for the development of an efficient scheme that will
coordinate their operation. This requirement emerges from
the fact that, although each mechanism may be efficient or even optimal in
terms of the respective protocol layer, their
independent parallel operation may result in inefficiencies caused
mainly by
possible conflicting actions. A solution to this
problem is the introduction of cross-layer cooperative designs that can
maximize the optimization capabilities of individual layers
by combining and synchronizing their operation, and result in an efficient
operation of the system as a whole.

Scope
-------
Many proposals can be found in the literature following different
approaches
for cross-layering. Many of them focus on the
cooperation of the Medium Access Control (MAC) with the Physical layer,
while others include higher layers as well, such as the
Network or the Application. ISWPC 2008 is organizing a special session on
"Cross-layer designs for wireless pervasive computing"
aiming to provide a forum for reviewing the current state-of-the-art in the
area, exchanging of ideas and viewpoints, and discussing
future directions. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Cross-layer architectures and methodologies
- Quality-of-service solutions
- Channel-aware applications
- Cross-layering for mobility management
- Complexity and scalability issues
- Signaling for cross-layer protocol interaction
- Case studies
- Performance evaluation

Submission
-----------
Authors are invited to submit original papers through the regular
conference
process (http://www.iswpc.org/2008/) and send
the paper details to the session organizer at passas@di.uoa.gr to indicate
submission for the special session. All accepted papers
will be included in the conference proceedings.
