[Mycolleagues] WoWMoM 2009 - CfP - Industrial Track

*****************************************************************
WoWMoM 2009
10th IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless,
Mobile and Multimedia Networks
15-19 June 2009, Kos, Greece

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

Call For Papers -- Industrial Track

Important dates:
* Paper submission deadline: 15 March 2009 (HARD DEADLINE)
* Acceptance notification: 29 March 2009
* Camera-ready copy deadline: 11 April 2009

IEEE WoWMoM 2009 is soliciting original and previously unpublished
research papers from industry researchers and professionals for a
one-day Industry Session. Specific topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:

* Conversational Mobile Multimedia
* (Personal) Mobile Broadcast Delivery and Applications
* Mobile broadcast implementation issues (including, but not limited to,
DVB-H, MBMS, DMB, ATSC-M/H, MediaFLO, etc.)
* Mobile P2P distribution of real-time Multimedia
* Scalable Media architectures for mobile networks
* Social Multimedia and co-creation
* 3D Video modeling and applications
* Context-based real-time media
* Semantic description and scene context extraction of real-time media
* Multimodal sensing and context.

The Industry Session track is intended to specially highlight system
experiences and proofs-of-concept in the areas above. Like regular
papers, the Industry Session papers will undergo a review process by an
International TPC and will appear in the conference proceedings.
However, the selection criteria for Industry Session papers are slightly
different. In particular, papers should describe applications,
prototypes or experiences of clear industry relevance. Papers with
narrow algorithmic focus or only high-level design details are
discouraged. A key goal of this session is to present systems-oriented
research that exposes the academic and research communities to real-life
issues and problems being faced in industry. Accordingly, papers will be
evaluated, less on the novelty of specific algorithmic content, but by
the originality and general applicability of insights that can be
inferred from the authors' implementation experience.

Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines given in
http://www.ics.forth.gr/wowmom09/papersubmission.html and submitted by
the authors to BOTH the Industry Chairs by midnight US Pacific Time of
15 March 2009.

[Mycolleagues] Mobile Networks & Applications SI - Advances and Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Dear Colleagues,
(Sorry for the cross posting!)

*Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET)*

*Special Issue on Advances and Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks*

* *

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) using all kinds of wireless
technologies has recently received considerable attention. The goal of
this special issue is to explore the development of wireless vehicular
ad hoc network technologies about communication, networking, and
applications. A good communication protocol design can achieve highly
reliable, highly scalable, and high performance. In aspect of
networking, there are many challenges that how to offer quality of
service, build high performance routing, provide mobility management,
and create secure vehicular ad hoc networks. VANET safety applications
include safety warnings and collision avoidance. This is imperious to
improve the non-safety applications and reduce the occurrence of
collision. VANETs present a highly active field of research,
development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world,
there are many national/international projects in government, industry,
and academia devoted to VANETs, for example consortia like VSC (US),
C2CCC (Europe) and InternetITS (Japan), standardization efforts like
IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle
Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. The special issue
solicits high-quality theoretical as well as practical works on a broad
range of issues important to the communication, networking, and
applications for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Topics of interest
include but are not limited to following:

- Safety and non-safety applications

- Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication

- Communication protocol design

- Channel modeling

- Modulation and coding

- Power control and scalability issues

- Multi-channel organization and operation

- Security issues and countermeasures

- Privacy issues

- Network management

- Routing protocol and mobility management

- Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds
