NAIS'05 Int. Workshop - Extended Deadline
by Simone Bassis 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Dear Colleagues (Apologies if you receive this more than once), To accommodate those not quite finished but hoping to submit enough time to complete their papers, we have agreed to extend the deadline for submission by two weeks until friday April 15, 2005. Depending on their content, refereed extended versions of selected paper will be published on a special issue of either Natural Computing or Nonlinear Analysis C-series. Kind Regards, Organizing Committee ================= Call for Papers International Workshop on Natural and Artificial Immune Systems (NAIS 2005) Vietri sul Mare, Salerno, Italy, June 9-10, 2005 http://siren.dsi.unimi.it/conferences/IMMUNE05/html/index.html * Venue International Institute For Advanced Scientific Studies (IIASS), "E.R.Caianiello", Vietri sul Mare, (SA) Italy. http://www.iiassvietri.it/index.html http://www.iiassvietri.it/school2004/ * Important Dates Submission deadline: April 15 2005 Acceptance/Rejection notification: May 2, 2005 Camera-ready copy of papers: June 6, 2005 Workshop Date: June 9-10, 2005 * Aims and Scope The workshop aims at catalyzing the interaction between modelers (computer scientists, mathematicians and physicists), immunologists and biologists interested in discussing the information processing mechanisms emerging in the functionalities of either natural or artificial immune systems. The leading idea motivating this event is the attention to the various forms of “intelligent thinking” underlying the many attack/defense/adaptation strategies discovered in natural systems, such as tumor and virus escape mechanisms of animals and humans, or implemented in artificial systems. This approach may reap several basic benefits of the original cybernetics paradigm: -the emergence of the mind from chemical-physical reactions that can be studied and simulated, - the use of natural processing mechanisms for solving artificial problems, and the cross-fertilization of the natural and artificial research environments, -the adoption of comprehensive immune system models in the development of new therapeutic approaches. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: # Computational Immunology # Immunological Computation # Immunoinformatics # modelling and simulation of immune systems # model testing and game theory # biological and immersive learning # network security and artificial virus attacks # comparisons between Artificial Immune Systems and other biologically-inspired paradigms # theory and applications of Immunological Computing # Immunocomputing * Invited speakers - Franco Celada, University of Genova, Italy - Vincenzo Cutello, University of Catania, Italy - Dipankar Dasgupta, University of Memphis, USA - Doheon Lee, IBM-KAIST Bio-Computing Research Center, Korea - Jon Timmis, Universityh of Kent, UK * Conference Proceedings The conference will feature both introductory tutorials and original refereed papers, to be published by an international publisher.

Call for papers: Wireless Mesh Networking
by Xudong Wang 26 Mar '05

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ============================================================== Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, Special Issue on Wireless Mesh Networking: Theories, Protocols, and Systems http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/mesh_cfp.htm SUBMISSSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to: April 15, 2005. ============================================================== Wireless mesh networking has become an indispensable technique for the next generation wireless networks. It is critical to large-scale wireless networks with no pre-existing infrastructure. It enables quick-and-easy extension of a local area network into a wide area. Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to various flavors of routing and transport protocols. However, the work is far from enough. The state-of-art is insufficient for deploying sizable wireless mesh networks. Important aspects such as network radio range, network capacity, scalability, manageability, and security remain open problems. To address capacity and scaling concerns, researchers are experimenting with systems that use multiple radios, frequency-agile radios, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas. Further, there are renewed interests in carrying out research on MAC protocols and cross-layer design that breaks the traditional networking layering norm. It is clear that such novel techniques are needed to increase system capacity, extend network range, and increase scale, if such networks are to become viable. Similarly, while there exist several security protocols for wireless networks, especially for IEEE 802.11 WLANs, it is still not clear how one can build a trustworthy network in a multi-hop ad hoc environment like wireless mesh networks. Finally, although new research results are published each year, progress on practical protocol implementation and system integration has lagged considerably. To ensure wireless mesh networks to be widely deployed, many research groups are starting to accumulate practical experience through building testbeds and deploying trial systems. In parallel to these efforts, several IEEE standard groups are also actively pursuing wireless mesh networking techniques. This special issue is devoted to the research and development of practical, deployable, and low-cost wireless mesh networks. Papers from both industry and academia will be solicited through an open call-for-papers. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, -- Techniques for capacity and range extension -- Multi-radio, multi-spectral systems -- Cognitive and frequency-agile radios -- Multichannel MACs, MAC protocol for directional antennas and MIMO systems -- High-performance scalable single-channel MACs -- Programmable MACs -- Cross-layer design and optimization -- Trustworthy networks, privacy and security models -- Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems -- Mobility, power, and topology management -- Network management with zero-configuration -- Practical system architecture of wireless mesh networks -- Testbed and deployment experience -- Application and usage scenarios -- Emerging standards: IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.15.5, IEEE 802.16 mesh, IEEE 802.20 mesh ============================================================== SUBMISSION Manuscript Due: April 15, 2005 Acceptance Notification: August 15, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: October 15, 2005 Publication: December, 2005 Prospective authors should follow the following guidelines to prepare their manuscripts: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html Please send PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to Xudong Wang (wxudong(a)ieee.org) no later than April 1, 2005. ============================================================== GUEST EDITORS Xudong Wang Senior Staff Research Engineer Kiyon, Inc.
