CALL FOR PAPERS
COMPUTER NETWORKS (Elsevier) Special Issue on
Cognitive Wireless Networks
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet
Rapid advances in key enabling technologies such as high-speed
digital signal processing, wideband A/D conversion, smart antennas,
low power amplifiers, and reconfigurable hardware will lead to new
kinds of Software Defined Radios (SDRs). These combined with new
ability to sense the radio environment in real time and make
intelligent policy driven decisions will lead to a new form of
Cognitive Radio (CR). Recognizing this evolution the FCC and similar
regulating bodies world over (e.g., OfCom, UK) have envisioned
relaxed spectrum access policies which will fuel the evolution of
cognitive radio (CR) and cognitive wireless network (CWN)
technologies.
Still nascent in its development, CWN technology promises to
alleviate the spectrum scarcity problem resulting from existing
command-and-control management of spectrum. The CWNs will allow
secondary users to share primary licensed spectrum without harming
the primary users. This requires efficient algorithms for rapid
detection of primary users and new Medium Access (MAC) protocols.
Also, CWNs need to allocate and coordinate spectrum access at various
times scales. This requires that the problem of dynamic spectrum
allocation (DSA) be addressed in a new light. Building a fully
functional CWN with the aforementioned capabilities is one of the
foremost challenges facing wireless network designers today. As CWN
technology matures, it can transform home networks,cellular networks,
wireless LANs and many other applications.
The present special issue is expected to be published in May
2007. It will concentrate on new developments, applications, and
challenges that have appeared in the last several years in connection
with cognitive radio technology. Topics of this open call include but
are not limited to:
• Dynamic spectrum allocation in heterogeneous networks
• Novel methods for rapid detection of primary users
• Routing in CWN networks
• Fundamental (network) limits of CR technology
• Impact of MIMO and OFDM techniques on cognitive radio networks
• Mesh networking for CR technology
• Cross-layer optimization in CR networks
• Implementation challenges and limits for CR technology platforms
• Legal, social, and regulatory issues for CR networks implementation
• Critical ad hoc heterogeneous-content networks (e.g., public safety)
• Applications of CR technology: home networks, WLANs, etc.
Submission Guidelines and Important Dates:
Authors should send a PDF manuscript to liye(a)ece.gatech.edu with
email entitled CN-CRN Submission. For details on the journal and the
special issue, please refer to website at

Dear TC6 Member,
The first term of three years of Otto Spaniol as TC6 Chair will end with
2006.
In Paris, it was decided to start the procedure for the election of the
TC6 chairperson for the period 2007-2009 and I was designated to organize it.
I will follow the procedure initiated in White Plains for the 1997
election, improved for the 2000 election while correcting the problems of
the 2003 election.
The starting point of the procedure is to establish the list of
eligible people taking into account the three conditions :
- national representative (Bylaws Condition)
- attendance to at least one TC6 meeting among Wroclaw, Coimbra and Paris
- conference organiser.
Here is this list of eligible people by alphabetical order of the
represented countries.

Iyengar Arun.
Presenting its candidacy for the TC6 chair implies a commitment
- to attend all the meetings of TC6 and
- to participate regularly in the Council and General Assembly meetings.
Each candidate is invited to prepare
- a short CV with an emphasis to the TC6 related activities
- a statement of interest for the TC6 Chairmanship position. What
activities he (or she) intends to continue, to expand, to discontinue, to
create. What will change, if any, in TC6 under his (or her) leadership.
- any view about the relationship between the TC6 and the Council and the
General Assembly.
I suggest to the candidates to prepare a single pdf with the CV and the
statement of interest for the TC6 Chair.
This document must be sent directly to me before October 31.
I will send, to all TC6 members, the information received before the
deadline with the final document which will allow TC6 members to cast
their vote for one of the candidates.
The people eligible to vote are the national representatives and the WG
Chairmen (one vote by WG).
The vote will be carried by email. Taking into account the hectic
situation of the spam polluted mail environment and the protection
introduced by some ISPs, it has been decided that your vote will have to
be sent to two persons:
The ballots will have to be sent to
- Brigitte.Brauneis(a)ifip.org (at the IFIP Secretariat)
- Peter.Radford(a)logicacmg.com (as TC6 Secretariat)
before November 26, at 17H00 GMT.
Both of them will receive from Otto the list of the people entitled to
vote i.e. the representatives of the official members of IFIP and the WG
chairperson(s). An official representative being also chair or co-chair
of a WG will express his vote as official representative, leaving to the
remaining co-chair(s) if any to cast their vote for the WG. (Maximum one
vote per WG)
The two person on charge of receiving the ballots will check them, count
them, exchange their results, resolve discrepancy if any and announce the
results of the vote in the first days of December.
I am waiting for the candidacies.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
==============================
CALL FOR PAPERS
Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area
due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such
systems allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments,
which makes them immensely useful for data collection and analysis.
While much ongoing research has addressed networking, communication
and low-level self-configuration issues in such systems, there are
also significant challenges pertaining to systematic design,
algorithm development and analysis, and abstract modeling in order to
achieve efficient and robust realizations of large-scale distributed
sensor systems. The large number of sensor devices involved, severe
power, computational and memory limitations, resource heterogeneity,
dense deployment and frequent failures pose novel challenges to
design, algorithms, analysis and implementation.
The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in
large-scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms,
applications, and systematic design techniques and tools), but
networking-related contributions that support high level abstractions
are also welcome. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished
manuscripts that demonstrate current research on computational
aspects of distributed sensor systems. Topics of interest include but
are not limited to:
- Computation and programming models
- Energy models, minimization, awareness
- Distributed algorithms for collaborative information
processing
- Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness,
scalability, fault-tolerance
- Abstractions for modular design
- Languages, operating systems
- Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration
- Dynamic resource management
- Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level)
- Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives
- Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment
and operation
- Design automation and application synthesis techniques
- Case studies: lessons from real world deployments
PAPER SUBMISSION
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 12 single-spaced pages using 12-
point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures and tables.
References may be included in addition to the 12 pages. Submissions
will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to
the conference attendees. Submitted papers may not have appeared in
or be under consideration for another conference or a journal.
