The 1st IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS-2004) October 25-27, 2004, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~cdmc/mass Sponsored by IEEE TC on Distributed Processing and IEEE TC on Simulation Researches on wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks (network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure), such as cellular or satellite systems. Ad-hoc and sensor networks cover multi-hop scenarios (network nodes communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. This conference covers the area of ad-hoc and sensor systems, from physical issues up to applications aspects. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - MAC protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks (801.11, Bluetooth, etc) - Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast, etc) - Power-aware and energy-efficient design - QoS, security, and fault-tolerant issues - Location and mobility management - Topology construction and coverage maintenance - Distributed Algorithms (self-configuration, scheduling, synchronization, etc) - Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination - Operating system and middleware support - Complexity analysis of algorithms - Analytical, mobility, and validation models - Applications of ad-hoc and sensor networks Paper submission All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF of their full papers. Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 11 point size type on 8.5 * 11 inches pages. Electronic submission instructions will be published on the website http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~cdmc/mass together with style files. Tutorials Proposals for half and full days tutorials are solicited. The selection criteria include the expertise and experience of the instructors and relevance to the central themes of the conference.

Call for papers: INTELLCOMM'04

von Finn Arve Aagesen

Dear TC 6 friends (and working group Chairs). Can you please distribute this CFP further. Best regards from Finn Arve =================================== ** We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message. ===================== FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ===================== INTELLCOMM'04 The 2004 IFIP International Conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems 23 - 26 November 2004, Bangkok, Thailand http://intellcomm2004.ait.ac.th Main classes of topics: ----------------------- - Architectures for Adaptable Networks and Services - Semantic Web and Web Service Technologies - Applications, Information Management and Security - Intelligent Service Application Interface and Intelligent Human Interaction The Conference Proceedings will be published in the LNCS series, Springer Verlag.

In order to obtain effective and efficient communication, artistic, social and technical issues have to be tackled in a holistic and integrated manner. Unfortunately, communication techniques, concepts and solutions which have been developed so far treat these issues separately, so that there arises a need for communication researchers and practitioners in different fields (engineering, science and arts) to meet, share their experience and explore all possibilities of developing integrated and advanced solutions which incorporate ideas from such disciplines as communication arts, art design, linguistics, Web technologies, telecommunications, computer science and artificial intelligence. Call for Papers --------------- The 2004 IFIP conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems (INTELLCOMM '04) is jointly sponsored by IFIP WG 6.7: Smart Networks and WG 6.4: Internet Applications Engineering. The conference will be held at Shinawatra University, Bangkok, Thailand during 23-27 November 2004. Its main objective is to provide an international forum which brings academia, researchers, practitioners and service providers together. The discussion areas will cover the latest research topics and advanced technological solutions in the area of Intelligent Communication Systems, ranging from Architectures for Adaptable Networks and Services and Semantic Web and Web Service Technologies to Applications, Information Management, and Security and Intelligent Service Application Interface and Intelligent Human Interaction. The topics include, but are not limited to: Architectures for Adaptable Networks and Services - Ad hoc Networks - Programmable and Active Networks - Hybrid Networks - Personal, Terminal and Node mobility - Mobile Agents - Location- and Context aware Services - Adaptive Architectures and Protocols - Adaptability and security - Flexible Service Specification, Validation, Creation, Deployment and Discovery - Service composition and WEB services - Open APIs for adaptability triggering and management - Flexible QoS schemes and QoS management - Software Downloading, Plug-and-play and Service Scalability - Configuration Management Semantic Web and Web Service Technologies - Knowledge Representation Languages, Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Annotations of Web Data - Ontologies (creation, integration, linking and reconciliation) - Large Scale Knowledge Management - Knowledge Portals - Tools and Methodologies for Multi-Agent Software Systems - Semantic Brokering - Semantic Interoperability - Semantic Web Mining - Semantic/Intelligent Web Services (service description, discovery, invocation, composition and execution) - Semantic Web Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property Rights - Semantic Web for e-Business and e-Learning - Searching and Querying Applications, Information Management and Security - Mobile E-Commerce and Ubiquitous Electronic Markets - Architectures for Procurement, Bidding, Auctions - Information & Communication Platforms for E-commerce, Mobile Agents, Unified Messaging - Multimedia applications - XML Document and Semi-Structured Data Modeling - Query Processing and Optimization of XML Documents and Semi-Structured Data - Data Warehouses - Data Mining - Security, Privacy, and Consumer Protection - Trust and Confidence in Digital Signatures and Certificates - XML Access Control - XML Digital Signature Intelligent Service Application Interface and Intelligent Human Interaction - Intelligent Communication Systems with Dialogue and Natural Language Interfaces - Language Processing in Internet Applications - Multimedia Information Retrieval - Computer Animation - Computer-Based Art and Entertainment - Human Computer Interaction - Information Visualization - Virtual Reality and Virtual Environments The conference will involve the three distinct meetings: tutorial, technical and poster sessions. The first will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of selected topics, the second will present papers on the latest research results highlighting the state of the art in all aspects of intelligent communication systems, the third will outline research plans and proposals.

RE: [ifip-tc6] WCC 2006 responses

von Radford, Peter

Otto I'm happy with your summary and your e-mail Regards Peter Peter Radford UK Representative to IFIP TC6 T: +44 20 7446 1281 M: Peter.Radford(a)LogicaCMG.com <mailto:Peter.Radford@LogicaCMG.com> -----Original Message----- From: Otto Spaniol [mailto:spaniol@informatik.rwth-aachen.de] Sent: 02 April 2004 08:06 To: ifip-tc6(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Subject: [ifip-tc6] WCC 2006 responses Dear all, the picture of responses concerning a possible participation of TC6 at the World Computer Congress is similar but not uniform. Almost all responses said that they do not believe that it is worthwhile for TC6 to participate in any WCC, regardless of its location. This is in some cases also supported by personal experience with WCC (e.g. expressed by Lyman Chapin). Another problem is the political situation in the area and (sometimes serious) concerns about that are expressed by many. A third problem is that we don't have a TC6 delegate from Israel since 1986(!) and this would make the organisation quite complicated - even if that could be done in theory also by somebody who is not the Israelian TC6 delegate. On the other hand, a few delegates would be willing to cooperate if a workshop of our successful series would be colocated to WCC 2006 in Jerusalem. Having checked our calendar of events and the titles of our conferences I might see one possible candidate for such a colocation, namely MedHoc 2006. This would fit to the region (Mediterranean Sea) and probably to the topics of interest for the region (Ad Hoc Networking). But it will not be easy to go forward with such an idea since - MedHoc 2006 might already been allocated to another country - We would need a bid for that from a group of experts of Israel. Nevertheless that is the only more or less concrete "offer" which could be made by TC6 and it is not very likely that it could be realised. I've sent a corresponding message to Moshe Gotlieb (see below). Please send me a note if you disagree. Best regards Otto --------------- My message to Moshe Gotlieb (basically a reformulation of mmy above message): Dear Moshe, we have now a more complete picture about the "feelings" of IFIP TC6 delegates concerning a possible participation of TC6 in Jerusalem. The vast majority of those who responded said that TC6 should not play an active role at WCC **irrespective of the location**. Nevertheless even some of those who expressed this statement said that this must not necessarily preclude some of our running events to be colocated with WCC. The question is how we could arrange such a colocation early enough and concretely enough. A possible candidate which comes to my mind for several reasons would be our MedHoc series (MedHoc = Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking). The former events of this series have been held in Italy and in Tunisia, the next one will be in summer 2004 in Turkey; please contact Ian Akyildiz (ian(a)ece.gatech.edu) for that. If it would be intended to have MedHoc 2006 in Israel - possibly as part of the WCC - then some members from the Israelian AdHoc networking scene (there are plenty of them) should attend MedHoc 2004 and make a bid to have the event two years later in Israel. A similar strategy might be tried if another of our running event series should be colocated with WCC. Nevertheless, it will not be easy to succeed with such a colocation attempt since many delegates consider the positical situation as too unstable. Whereas we sincerely hope that this will not any more the case in 2006 (but who knows?) there are many delegates who would not take the risk which according to their belief is incorporated with a travel to Jerusalem. For the organisation of an event in Israel we would need a trustworthy person or society. This person is normally the countries delegate to TC6 but as I told you there is no such person since 1986. In principle the organisation could also be done by another local representative but then the organisation would not be easier. In summary, TC6 has the following concerns about a participation at WCC 2006 in Jerusalem: 1. Most delegates feel that TC6 should not participate at a WCC irrespective of the location since they beleive that WCC's are outdated. 2. We don't have an Israelian delegate to TC6 since a long time but we would need such a person for the organisation. 3. The political situation is considered by many delegates as too unstable and as too unpredictable. Consequently, TC6 is - for the moment being - unable to propose a concrete contribution for WCC 2006 in Jerusalem. We might think about a colocation of an event but this is very very speculative.

Impact of TC6 events from Citeseer

von Guy Leduc

Dear TC6 colleagues, I've collected some information on Citeseer regarding the impact of our TC6 events. Please find these results below. It's always useful to know how our events are ranked with respect to others. This could be part of an agenda item on statistics of TC6 events in Athens and also in relation with publishers. Note that these data have been computed in May 2003, which means that only events organized until 2002 had a chance to have an impact. So, recent events are not well ranked, which is normal. Note also that with citeseer only papers available electronically are considered. So, a first step in reaction to this would be that all individuals publishing in our conferences put all their papers on their web pages and send their URLs to citeseer for reference. Unfortunately this is not always allowed by the publishers, but note that IEEE and ACM allow this. And I remember that Kluwer had accepted too for events where some authors would have otherwise refused to sign the copyright transfer form. A last comment in that only conferences referenced in the DBLP database are taken into account. And some TC6 conferences are not there. Some reaction is needed. Perhaps each WG chairperson could do the necessary steps to register them as IFIP events: check http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/series/ifip/index.html Best regards, Guy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated impact of publication venues in Computer Science (higher is better) - May 2003 (CiteSeer) Generated from documents in the CiteSeer </cs> database. This analysis does not include citations where one or more authors of the citing and cited articles match. This list is automatically generated and may contain errors. Only venues with at least 25 articles are shown. Impact is estimated using the average citation rate, where citations are normalized using the average citation rate for all articles in a given year, and transformed using ln (n+1) where n is the number of citations.
