source/channel coding and adaptation, wireless networking and
optimization. Research papers of particular merit in the symposium will
be invited for consideration of fast track publication in a special
issue for Journal of Advances in Multimedia, (

Conference Main Theme: Wireless Entropy

Overview

PIMRC 2007 provides a global forum for presenting the most recent
advances, the future technical challenges and business opportunities that
comprise the contemporary landscape in wireless communications. The
organizers endeavour to attract contributions covering not only
conventional areas of wireless communications (e.g., physical layer), but
also emerging areas with high potential for essential scientific and
societal impact such as wireless sensors for biomedical applications and
non-trivial pervasive computing services. The latter areas are expected to
facilitate the development of a broad vision of innovative future
applications in wireless communications. The high quality IEEE endorsed
technical programme, will also include tutorials, workshops, exhibitions,
panel discussions and keynote presentations from leading experts coming
from the academic community, industry, as well as regulatory and
standardisation
bodies.

PIMRC 2007 will be held in Athens, Greece, September 3-6, 2007 i.e. one
week following the peak of Greece's beautiful summer season.

Call for Papers

Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers describing original and
previously unpublished contributions in a wide range of topics in wireless
communications. These topics are clustered into the following three major
categories:

1) Physical Layer and MAC
2) Mobile and Wireless Networks
3) Applications, Services and Business Models

Papers should be in English, strictly not exceeding 5 double-column pages
(3,000 words), in Adobe PDF format (which is the only accepted format for
PIMRC 2007). Authors should use the relevant IEEE template, ensuring an

Call for Workshop Proposals

We solicit workshop proposals on new and emerging topics in wireless
communication and networks, services, and applications. A proposal should
focus on a specific theme of current interest seeking for high-quality
submissions. Proposals for one-day workshops to be held in conjunction with
the main conference are solicited. A proposal can be a maximum of 2 pages
long and should clearly identify the theme and specific topics of interest
which define the scope of the workshop. It should also stress how it intends
to provide more insight into the proposed topics with respect to the main
conference. The proposal should include the workshop chairs and a tentative
list of program committee members.

The organizers of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising
their workshops, inviting experts, reviewing submitted papers, and
collecting camera-ready copies of accepted papers. The rest of the
organizational details (registrations, workshop rooms, etc.) will be
covered by the PIMRC Organizing Committee.

Computing Systems

Toronto, Canada
June 25-29, 2007
http://cs.acadiau.ca/~eshakshu/CDS-2007.htm

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

Most real world systems and applications are
inherently distributed. Distributed systems
provide extensibility, protection against single
failures, and an adequate architecture to cope
with spatially distributed real-world applications.
These systems are widely used in distributed
databases, telecommunication, groupware,
security, monitoring habitat and education.
The challenge in developing cooperative
distributed systems (CDS) is in modelling and
engineering the interactions between the entities
of the system.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum
for academic and industry professionals to
discuss recent progress and challenges in the
area of cooperative distributed systems. We
encourage contributions that describe innovative
work and results on CDS. The topics of
interest include but are not limited to:

o Agent-based architectures for CDSs
o Agent-based Infrastructure for Autonomic Computing
o Cooperative Agents Design Issues
o Cooperation Strategies
o Coordination Models
o Grid Systems Computing
o Intelligent Systems for CDSs
o Learning Agents in CDSs
o Mobile and Pervasive Collaboration Systems
o Peer-to-Peer Systems and Applications
o Security in CDSs
o Wired and Wireless Distributed Systems
o Workload Characterization for CDSs

Submission Instructions:

Only full papers in English will be accepted.
The length of the paper is limited to 6 singlespaced
double column IEEE format pages.
Papers should be submitted by email to the
workshop organizers in PDF format. All papers
will be reviewed by independent reviewers.

Publication:

Accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS Press as IEEE 27th ICDCS
2007 Workshops Proceedings.

[Tccc] IEEE TVT SI on Vehicular Communications Networks

Call For papers

IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology
Special Section on Vehicular Communications Networks

****** Paper Submission Deadline: February 15, 2007 ******

Traffic congestion, delays, and accidents in the transportation systems
have caused significant loss of lives, waste of energy, and loss in
productivity. To improve the safety, security and efficiency of the
transportation systems and enable new mobile services and applications for
the traveling public, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been
developed, which apply rapidly emerging information technologies in
vehicles and transportation infrastructures. The development of
inter/intra-vehicle and infrastructure-to-vehicle mobile mesh and ad hoc
networks is one of the most challenging and critical issues for the ITS
industry, which also sparks numerous interests in the communications and
networking research community. The objective of this special section is
to disseminate the state-of-the-art R&D results in this fast-moving
research area, to facilitate the deployment of vehicular communications
networks, and to bring together people from both academia and industry,
with the goal of fostering interaction among them to promote further
research interests and activities to enable new transportation products
and services, e.g., advanced traffic management, vehicle control, safety
control, and networking and information services for users on the road.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Emerging inter/intra-vehicle and infrastructure-to-vehicle wireless
communication technologies
- Vehicular network architecture and protocol
- Vehicular network performance modeling and analysis
- Vehicular network medium access control and routing protocols
- Vehicular network flow and congestion control
- Quality of Services (QoS) provisioning in wireless-enabled ITS systems
- Traffic management, vehicle control, and safety related applications
for ITS systems
- Networking and information services for users on the roads (by
automobiles, trains, planes, or ships)
- Cross-layer design and optimization for vehicular networks
- Mobility management and intersystem handovers
- Simulations models and testbeds for ITS
- Implementation and field tests of ITS systems
- Network self-organization and self-configuration
- Network security and trustworthy networks
- Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems

Submission:

We seek original contributions not currently under review by other
journals. All papers for this section must be submitted in PDF format
