CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Workshop on
Mobile Opportunistic Networking
MobiOpp 2007
sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE
in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2007
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07
jointly organized by
IIT-CNR, Italy

Puerto Rico, USA
Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy
Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of
complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic
Networks enable users' communication in disconnected environments, in which
island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically.
The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving
contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In
this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity
opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods
of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to
support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices
carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly
without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end
communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are
much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the
legacy MANET paradigm.
Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols
design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic
Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Architectures for opportunistic networks
* (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks
* Middleware services in opportunistic networks
* Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks
* Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks
* Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks

First IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble
Mission- and bUsiness-critical Mobile Systems
ADAMUS 2007
In conjunction with the 8th Int. Symposium on a World of Wireless,
Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM'07)
Helsinki, Finland, 18th June, 2007

WORKSHOP SCOPE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A truly extended use of mobile computing technologies asks for effective
software engineering techniques to design, develop and maintain mission-
and business-critical applications over mobile environments.
In recent years, we witnessed an increasing demand for mission- and
business-critical applications over mobile environments. To overcome the
intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and environments, a variety of
research studies have produced a plethora of methods and proof-of-concept
prototypes for supporting non-critical applications. However, it is still
unclear whether current technologies, methods, and solutions can satisfy
the challenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emerging
mobile mission- and business- critical systems and applications, such as
mobile commerce, wireless control of robots, healthcare computing, and
video-surveillance.
To be effective, these applications must endorse provisions that allow them
to continue the optimal distribution of their service despite the
occurrence
of potentially significant and sudden changes or faults in their
infrastructure and the surrounding environment. Hence, it is becoming
increasingly important: to devise conceptual models and paradigms able to
mange and to express strategies and provisions for change tolerance and for
cross-layer adaptation; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop
adaptive and dependable systems; to provide analytical and simulation tools
to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust
to new environments; to develop design-/run-time solutions to identify and
enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety,
and security.
The main goal of this first workshop is that of fostering exchange of ideas
and lively discussions to reduce the gap between research achievements and
industrial applications in the field of adaptive and dependable mission-
and business- critical mobile systems and applications.
Researchers and practitioners from the academia and the industry are
encouraged to participate. High quality papers able to identify open issues,
to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to
propose
original and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable mission- and
business-critical applications over mobile environments are solicited for
submission. The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
* Dependability and real-time adaptation requirements for mobile systems
* Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services
* Design principles, models, and tools for adaptive mobile systems
* Mobile-enabled middleware for heterogeneous wireless networks
* Middleware support for adaptation and dependability
* Context data provisioning and modelling
* Context-based adaptive infrastructures
* Human-machine interaction and usability
* Multi-device systems
* Integration of heterogeneous software platforms and operating systems
* Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation
* Cross-layer adaptation
* Software dependability in multimedia systems over wireless media
* Group communication and group membership services
* QoS control and component scheduling
* Standardization issues

*IEEE WoWMoM 2007*
June 18-21, 2007 - Helsinki, Finland
http://ieee-wowmom.tml.hut.fi
====================================================================
*FINAL Call for Papers*
Extended Deadline *Feb. 18* (extensions on case-by-case basis)
====================================================================
IEEE WoWMoM 2007 (http://ieee-wowmom.tml.hut.fi/) is one of the leading
international conferences for networking, software systems and
multimedia research in the wireless/mobile area involving both computer
science and electrical engineering communities. The 8th edition of the
WoWMoM conference is being held from June 18-21, 2007 in Helsinki, Finland.
As part of an expanded involvement of industry researchers and
professionals, WoWMoM 2007 is planning to organize a one-day *Industry
Session*. Accordingly, the Industry session program committee is
soliciting submissions of papers for this specially designated track,
specifically targeting specific commercial applications of the following
(non-exhaustive) research areas:
* Middleware support for mobile multimedia
* Mobile content distribution and authorization
* Presence-awareness and multimedia signaling in provider networks
* Service creation and provisioning for mobile applications
* Broadcast/Multicast based applications and architectures
* Power control and energy-efficient
systems for pervasive communication
* RFID/sensor applications in enterprise and provider networks
* Innovative methods for charging/billing
* Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) systems
* Network simulation and validation tools
The Industry Session track is intended to specially highlight system
experiences and
proofs-of-concept in the areas of wireless communication and multimedia
applications. We
emphasize that submissions must still be ``research papers’’—in other
words, articles merely describing product-specific features or
implementation details are NOT being solicited. Like regular papers, the
“industry session” papers will undergo a review process by an
international TPC and will appear in the conference proceedings.
However, the selection criteria for “industry session” papers are
slightly different. In
particular, papers should describe applications, prototypes or
experiences of clear industry relevance. Papers with narrow algorithmic
focus, marketing focus or only high-level design details are
discouraged. A key goal of these sessions is to present systems-oriented
research that exposes the academic and research communities to
“real-life” issues and problems being faced in industry. Accordingly,
papers will be evaluated, less on the novelty of specific algorithmic
content, but by the originality and general applicability of insights
that can be inferred from the authors’ implementation experience.
Some details on the requirements and deadlines for this “track” are:
*) Papers must be submitted in PDF format via the EDAS Website:
http://edas.info/5197.
Paper should be in double-column, 10pt IEEE format and no longer than 8
pages. (Details on formatting are available at:
http://ieee-wowmom.tml.hut.fi/authorinfo.html).
*) Deadlines:
Extended Deadine: *** February 18, 2007 ***
Paper submission (via EDAS)
(Extensions to the Feb 18 deadline will be granted on a case-by-case
basis--to avail of this extension, you MUST email a request for
extension to the chairs ** BEFORE Feb 18 **).
Reviews available: March 12, 2007
Final manuscripts due: April 6, 2007.
More details on the committee/topics for “industry sessions” and
up-to-date submission
deadlines etc. are available at:

The Sixth Annual Med-Hoc-Net 2007 Workshop
*** MEDITERRANEAN AD HOC NETWORKING ***
June 13-15 2007, Corfu, Greece
http://www.ionio.gr/~okon/medhocnet07
********************************************************************
Ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research community in
the last several years. By now, some of the early fundamental issues and
challenges of ad hoc networking have been clearly assessed, while new ones
emerge as a result of the ever expanding application domain of ad hoc
networking. Current emphasis of ad hoc networking includes application
scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.),
autonomous organization and operation, optimization and control, service
creation and support and middleware. Moreover, wireless mesh networking is
emerging as an "ad hoc spin-off" aimed at extending and integrating the
multi-hop paradigm with more traditional networking, which poses new and
exciting technical challenges.
Med-Hoc-Net 2007 is an established annual international workshop aiming to
serve as a forum where researchers from academia, research labs and the
industry from all over the world, meet to share ideas, views, results, and
experiences in the field of ad hoc networking. Anything from theoretical and
experimental achievements, to innovative ad hoc systems, prototyping
efforts, and case studies is of interest to the Med-Hoc-Net community.
The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2007 cover a variety of topics related
to ad hoc networks, including but not limited to:
- Novel multi-hop wireless network architectures
- Routing algorithms and protocols
- MAC protocols, scheduling, power control and radio resource sharing
- Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks
- Middleware for ad hoc networks
- Application driven architectures and protocols
- Sensor network applications and protocols
- Vehicular networks
- Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks
- Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes
- Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16,
IEEE 802.20, etc.)
- Self organization and network reconfiguration
- Optimization models and algorithms
- Autonomic Communications: paradigms and algorithms
- Resource and service discovery
- Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc networks
- QoS support
- Security and privacy
