Call For Papers: Workshop on emerging services delivery platforms and
software models for Next Generation Network Services
(http://www.softplatforms.org)
This workshop will be held in conjunction with the FIRST International
Conference on COMmunication System softWAre and MiddlewaRE (COMSWARE
2006) at New Delhi, India (http://www.comsware.org/) from Jan 8-12 2006.
The exact date of the workshop will be made available on the workshop's
Web site http://www.softplatforms.org.
Workshop Objectives:
The next generation services networks deliver enhanced business
capabilities such as data, video, messaging and business functions for
wired and wireless consumers. These new sets of services enhance the
business opportunities by integrating with core business services,
including: supply chain management, customer management, and consumer
applications. This workshop aims to discuss topics related to emerging
next generation services and service delivery platforms to host/support
such complex application environments.
The workshop focuses on:
* How next generation service delivery platforms deliver enhanced QoS
management, operational efficiencies, flexible services composability,
faster time-to-market, efficient trust models and flexible pricing
models.
* Technical and business factors influencing the services composability
and network services delivery environments. The associated revenue and
cost models for consumers, suppliers and application providers.
* The influences of emerging distributed computing architecture styles
(loosely-coupled, asynchronous, compos able, collaborative,
decentralized and parallel services) related to service delivery models.
* Emerging middleware platforms for network services, service
composability, distributed architecture models and programming models.
* New services models (communication services, presence-enabled
services, content/media services and enterprise/legacy services) and
value creation environments that represents new business opportunities
for operators and providers.
This workshop invites papers from research and business communities on
the different aspects of service delivery platforms and emerging
services models. The workshop will include papers that examine
interesting practical problems, case studies, best practices, middleware

WILLOPAN 2006
The First
International Workshop on Wireless Personal and Local Area Networks
http://www.willopan.org/
In Conjunction with COMSWARE 2006
January 8th, 2006
New Delhi, India
Wireless local area
networks (LANs) and personal area networks (PANs) are becoming more and more
popular today. Applications for such networks include wireless extensions of
wired networks (such as 802.11 family of networks), cable replacement and
short-range communications (such as Bluetooth and UWB), packet radio networks,
sensor networks (such as 802.15.4 ZigBee), and other wireless networks with
fixed or variable topology. Performance of such networks is the major factor
that determines their feasibility for the given set of application requirements.
Performance has many different aspects, from physical and data link layers, and
all of these are intimately related to topology, energy efficiency, management,
user mobility, and security issues. The key goals of this improvement include
Quality of Service (QoS) support mechanisms, efficient channel access
mechanisms, and energy saving mechanisms, etc. The effort to improve the MAC
layer is linked with many technical challenges including compatibility with
legacy networks, complexity in implementation, and practical values in real
market, etc. The need to address QoS support, MAC enhancement, and energy saving
and provide timely, solid technical contributions in the MAC layer of these
networks establishes the motivation behind this workshop. Original papers are
invited on emerging architectures and technologies in the design of wireless
local area networks (WLANs) and wireless personal area networks (WPANs) with
emphasis on the use of such networks in diverse areas of applications such as
supporting ubiquitous mobile Internet access, and the design of ad-hoc/mesh
networks, and sensor networks. The workshop solicits high quality and previously
unpublished work in the field. The main scope of the workshop is the MAC layer
and above. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design
and improvements of MAC protocols
- Performance evaluation of different MAC
protocols
- Mobility and handoff
- Scheduling and link adaptation
-
UWB wireless networks and related issues
- Spectral and power management
issues
- Cross-layer approaches
- Network measurement and management
- Range estimation and location management (e.g., using UWB)

1st International Workshop on Software for Sensor Networks (SensorWare) - CFP
***********************************************************
Welcome to the 1st International Workshop on Software for Sensor Networks (SensorWare) to be held on the 8 January 2006. The workshop is held in conjunction with COMSWARE 2006 in the beautiful and historical city of New Delhi.
Advances in technology have made deployment of miniature sensors a realistic proposition. These sensors are low-power, inexpensive, smart devices with multiple on-board sensors, and are connected through wireless links, so as to form a collaborative sensor network to perform a specific task. As a result, it opens up a new paradigm of ubiquitous computing and enables a range of applications that are previously unrealizable or too costly to be realized. However, given the limitation of on-board hardware, one of the key areas towards achieving superior performance is through the software implementation. The workshop is intended for the presentation and discussion of novel algorithms and software implementation for sensor networks. This workshop, intends to bring together engineering experts and academicians to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications in the form of panels and technical presentation.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Operating System
Efficient algorithms
Protocol design
Performance analysis
Performance related issues
Sensor applications
Deployment issues and scenarios
Middleware
Sensor security
Sensor network design and modeling

Call for Participation
11th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking
August 28 - September 2, 2005
Cologne, Germany
http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2005/
*******************************************************************
ACM MobiCom is a highly-selective international conference on mobile
computing and wireless and mobile networking. It serves as the premier
forum for presenting and discussing research results on networks, systems,
algorithms, and applications supporting the symbiosis of mobile computing
and wireless networking. Each year, the conference attracts about 500
researchers, practitioners, students, and executives. MobiCom 2005 will
be held in beautiful Cologne, Germany.
Technical Program. The program consists of a single track with 23
papers. The authors present cutting-edge results on various topics, such
as new architectures, content-based and geometric routing, self-management,
cross-layer optimization. The papers cover ad hoc networks, mesh networks,
wireless sensor networks, WLANs, and cellular networks. A list of accepted
papers can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2005/program.html.
Tutorials. Four tutorials will be offered: (a) Wireless sensor and actuator
networks, (b) 802.11 WLAN MAC and smart antennas: issues and directions,
(c) Security in sensor and ad hoc networks: perspectives and status, and (d)
Wide area wireless networks: 3G and beyond.
The conference will also feature two invited talks by leaders in our field:
(a) "Secure, Natural Communications," by Jeffrey M. Jaffe, President, Bell
Labs Research and Advanced Technologies, and (b) "Communicating Vehicles -
Communicating Roadways: New Approaches to Driver Information and Road
Safety," by Ralf Guido Herrtwich, Director Vehicle IT and Services Research,
DaimlerChrysler AG.
Cologne is very popular, especially in August due to World Youth Day 2005
taking place there. Because Pope Benedict XVI organizes this event, he will
be in town just the week before MobiCom. Thus, we ask you to make your
hotel and flight reservations as early as possible. For more travel info
