Apologies, etc
by Radford, Peter 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Guy, Otto and everyone else! I need to apologise for the lack of minutes from the Paris meeting. I have not forgotten them and my conscience IS troubling me. Unfortunately there have been a number of personal and domestic crises (that may be too strong a word but I can't think of a better one) and the minutes have taken been pushed down the priority list. I am now going to be away from my office for a couple of weeks. That could mean that I will be out of contact until 5th February or it could mean that I actually have time to write the minutes! At the moment, I do not know but I will try to get the minutes done as soon as possible. Apologies once again and I hope it's not too late to wish everybody a happy new year Regards Peter Peter Radford UK Representative to TC6 E: Peter.Radford(a)LogicaCMG.com <mailto:Peter.Radford@LogicaCMG.com> T: +44 (0) 7770 395506 (M) T: +44 (0) 20 7446 4248 (O) T: +44 (0) 1245 262328 (H) This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

extended - CFP - International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007)
by Leszek T. Lilien 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

---------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers (deadline extended again till February 11) ---------------------------------------------------------- International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007) Toronto, Canada, June 29, 2007 In conjunction with the IEEE 27th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2007) ---------------------------------------------------------- The Workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS 2007, provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. Rather than looking for one-size-fits-all general solutions in the are of ad hoc networking and systems, maybe in vain, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound, efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS) suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. Very popular MANETs, sensor networks, and P2P systems are perhaps the best known examples of extremely broad, though already specialized, subclasses of ad hoc networks. We prefer to include in the scope of this Workshop only more specialized varieties of MANETs, sensornets, and P2Ps, excluding their fully general kinds. Examples of SAHNS that we want included are vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), incident area networks (IANs), and opportunistic networks (oppnets). VANETs enable vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside networking. IANs are dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Oppnets react to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. They are suitable for many application scenarios, including but not limited to emergency response situations. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad ho networks. For more details please visit the SAHNS web pages at: http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS/ or contact the Workshop Chair (llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu). We apologize for redundant messages.

Submission Deadline: *February 11, 2007 (Extended)* Workshop on June 18, 2007 - Helsinki, Finland ================================================ *CALL FOR PAPERS* First IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on *** AUTONOMIC and OPPORTUNISTIC COMMUNICATIONS - AOC 2007 *** June 18, 2007 - Helsinki, Finland http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/ organized by *ANA and HAGGLE projects* funded by the FET-IST Programme in the area Situated and Autonomic Communications (SAC) **** *EXTENDED Deadline --- February 11, 2007* **** ******************************************************************** We are faced with an era where the widespread use of small portable wireless devices and wireless technologies are building the pervasive vision. This pervaded world has generated new communication paradigms: autonomic and opportunistic communications. Communication among devices in a pervasive environment can happen if the devices can communicate autonomously, and manage their own evolution and configuration changes in the network, without explicit user or administrator action. In a pervasive world, even in the absence of any connectivity infrastructure mobile devices can communicate using the connection "opportunities" that arise due to mobility. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks * Adaptive security for self protection of networks * Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobility models for opportunistic networking * Novel management techniques for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks * Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (Elsevier).
