[Tccc] Reminder: WONS 2008 Call for Papers

----------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2008
The Fifth International Conference on Wireless
On-demand Network Systems and Services

January 24-25, 2008. Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

http://www.tm.uka.de/wons2008
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the conference
-----------------------
With the increasing variety of wireless technologies, ubiquitous
connectivity and service provisioning more and more complements
traditional, infrastructure-based cellular networks. WLANs, WiMax,
Mobile Ad-hoc networks as well as vehicular networks and sensor
networks are popular examples. The goal is to provide services "on
demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with
little dependency on existing network infrastructures.

On-demand provisioning of services in such infrastructure-less
environments is a challenge in itself. Methods for self-organisation
are strongly required to enable this vision. Other challenges are
posed by the architectures suited for different networks and
applications (e.g., specialized architectures for sensor networks)
also raising issues with respect to interoperability.

WONS is now at its fifth edition and is still confronted with new
technical challenges and new application demands. As such it provides
a premier forum for high quality paper presentations and lively
discussions.

For this conference we request submissions of high quality research
papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on
protocol and network design, modeling and performance evaluation,
pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical
implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of
wireless networks.

Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks, mesh networks, vehicular
networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: *
Architecture and Design * Analysis through simulation and experimental
evaluation * Modeling * Internet integration * Social and economic
aspects * Pervasive / ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility
management * Security * Energy-efficient protocols and power
management * Applications and Service Support * Data dissemination
and Peer-to-Peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network
management

Manuscript submissions
----------------------
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently
be under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited
to submit double-column full (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages) in
PDF format having a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers
should present future research directions, ongoing work, visionary,
innovative ideas. Further submission instructions will be published on
the conference web site.

[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.

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

With regard to both the content and formatting style of
the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the
IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines at

CfP: IJNM Special Issue on Mathematical Methods in Network Management

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of the:

Wiley International Journal of Network Management (IJNM)
on Mathematical Methods in Network Management

PUBLICATION DATE: May 2008

The construction of next generation systems for the management of
networks and services depends on underlying quantitative methods and
algorithms. Operations such as network topology discovery and root
cause analysis in alarm data incorporate mathematical methods and
algorithms. Studies, however, frequently emphasize architectures,
systems aspects, and software modeling rather than the quantitative
methods and conceptual models underlying them. Some new mathematical
methods with potential applicability to the domain have emerged, but
not yet found their way into research on-and industrial network
management systems. The focus of this issue is twofold. First, we
consider the decomposition of state-of-the-art methods from current
literature, FCAPS (fault-management, configuration, accounting,
performance, and security) and contemporary policy management systems.
Secondly, we seek out the application of new methods relative to this
standard set. Contributions should be of an applied nature, but purely
theoretical works in the proper domain context are welcome as well.
Datasets employed in analysis can be synthetic provided suitable
justification and documentation are provided for them. This special
issue of International Journal of Network Management is seeking new and
unpublished contributions on mathematical methods in network management
including, but not limited to the following areas and sub-areas:

Algorithms
Automated Reasoning
Bayesian Networks
Data Mining Algorithms
Decision Processes, Decision Trees
Dynamic Programming
Evolutionary Algorithms (GA, GP, EP, etc.)
Formal Calculi
Game Theory
Graph Theory
Integral transforms
Machine Learning with SVMs, ANNs, etc.
Mathematical Programming
Matrix Decomposition
Network Flow Programming
Optimization
Queue Management
Queuing Theory, Queuing Systems, Queue Management
Statistical Methods (parametric, non-parametric)
Stochastic Models and Optimization
System Dynamics
Time-Series Models

Call for Papers

The wireless multihop communication has been one of key research issues in
recent years both in academia
and wireless industry. It encompasses ad hoc radio networks, sensor
networks, wireless mesh networks and
mobile multihop relay related to the industrial and standardization
activities such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.15.4, 802.16j, etc.
Further the multihop communications can be combined with cooperative
communications and network coding,
which attracted more researchers in this field.

The idea behind such multihop communications is to utilize the availability
of other nodes or to borrow their
transmission capability. This in many cases exceeds the delay caused by the
multihop relay, the gain
from which is capacity enhancement as well as coverage extension of plain
radio networks.

Now we turn our attention to the robotics area. In these days, many
researchers are noticing group behaviors found in
small insects or animals such as ants, birds, and fish, trying to realize
such behaviors into the control and
coordination of a team of robots with their local interaction. The multiple
(usually small) robots communicate each
other, sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications.
In this respect, wireless multihop
communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information
exchange.

The main idea of this workshop is to bridge the above two areas (wireless
multihop communications and networked
robotics) by opening a place for researchers to meet and exchange their
ideas. The workshop welcomes
submissions on all aspects of the themes, which include (but not limited to)
the following topics:

- Communication architecture for collaborative robot systems
- Biologically inspired swarm robotics with networking functionality
- Multiple robot networking with mutihop- and cooperative communications
- Network coding and wireless relay technologies for cooperative robotics
- Learning and adaptation in cooperative environments
- Applications of multi-robot network systems
- Ad hoc robot networks
- Cognitive communication technologies for inter-robot team work
- Exploiting robot mobility in wireless relay networks
- QoS support in networked robotics
- Wireless multihop networks under node mobility
