The First International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks
(WiMAN 2007) http://www.cs.iusb.edu/~liqzhang/WiMAN2007/index.htm
in conjunction with ICCCN 2007
Turtle Bay Resort, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
August 16, 2007
* General Information
The First International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks
(WiMAN 2007) will be held in conjunction with the 16th International
Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2007), in
Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. All papers presented in WiMAN 2007 will be published
in the workshop proceeding by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital
Library, or Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Distinguished papers will be invited to extend to full version for a
special issue of Elsevier's Computer Communications Journal (ComCom) on
Wireless Mesh Networks.
* Scope and Topics
Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from
academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable
characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration,
self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services,
wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to
support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in
the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community
networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from
more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many
research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For
example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture,
multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges
in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application
scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address
enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different
protocol layers for wireless mesh networks.
This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who
share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main
purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the
design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications
for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between
academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek
papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the
all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to
the physical layer.
Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the
following:
a.. Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking
b.. Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN
c.. Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking
d.. MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond)
e.. Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols
f.. Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols
g.. Quality of Services provisioning

PANAL SESSION ON RFID
Fulfilling the promise of RFID: Applications, Case Studies and Future
Research
SCOPE
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) will certainly be an integral part of
most supply chains in 10 to 20 years' time. Up to now, however, RFID has
failed to live up to its promise, remaining hurdled by limited
implementation and applications, and has yet to be considered a mainstream
technology on its own.
A range of technologies, from WiFi to Sensor Networks to RFID, is being
explored for asset management to "smart" shelving - but what combination of
technologies solves the right sets of problems? How does one identify the
problems to solve? What are the capabilities of each technology to solve
them in differing use scenarios? Where can WiFi be more useful vs. RFID or
EPC (Electronic Product Codes) in other situations?
In this panel, we will discuss these questions, current and potential future
applications, and possibilities for further research and study.

OVERVIEW:
With the rapid growth of the Internet as well as the increasing demand for
broadband services, access networks have been receiving growing
investments in recent years. This has led to a massive network deployment
with the goal of eliminating the bandwidth bottleneck between end-users
and the network core. Today many diverse technologies are being used to
provide broadband access to end users. The architecture and performance of
the access segment (local loop, wired and wireless access networks, and
even home networks) are getting increasing attention for ensuring quality
of service of diverse broadband applications. Moreover, most access lines
will no longer terminate on a single device, thus leading to the necessity
of having a home network designed for applications that transcend simple
Internet access sharing among multiple personal computers and enable
multimedia support. Therefore, the access network and its home portion
have become a hot investment pool from both a fin!
ancial as well as a research perspective.
The aim of the annual International Conference on Access Networks
(AccessNets) is to provide a forum that brings together scientists and
researchers from academia as well as managers and engineers from the
industry and government organizations to meet and exchange ideas and

5th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks
April 16-20, 2007, Limassol, Cyprus
www.wiopt.org
Scope of the Symposium:
The design of wireless networks offers challenges not present in fixed networks: both the offered traffic and the network capacity depend on the mobility of the nodes. The designs should not only be functioning correctly, they are also expected to optimize the performance with respect to many criteria, such as energy efficiency, quality of service, and capacity utilization. This symposium intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on optimization of wireless network design and operations. It welcomes different perspectives, including performance analysis, protocol design, wireless communication, and optimization theory.
Conference Program: Visit the conference website www.wiopt.org for the conference program as well as travel information.
Keynote Speaker: Prof. R. Srikant, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Adjunct Workshops:
Five one-day workshops will accompany the main WiOpt Symposium. Please check the conference website for more details:
* WiNMee/WiTNeMo 2007 : International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements

Second IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Business-driven IT Management
(BDIM 2007)
In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP Integrated Management (IM 2007), Munich,
Germany, May 21st, 2007.
http://www.businessdrivenitmanagement.org/bdim2007/
Information Technology (IT) management has evolved significantly over the
past few years as IT-based solutions have become increasingly critical to
the functioning of organizations. From device, network and systems
management, solutions have evolved to include service management and IT
governance, as witnessed by the recent popularity of ITIL and COBIT
frameworks.
A recent shift in perspective brought to bear a more user-centric approach
to IT management, putting IT managers in condition to look at IT not just
from the IT department's traditional point of view but from the user's point
of view: this is the reason for the appearance of services and quality of
service metrics in these frameworks.
Even more recently, a further shift towards holistic understanding of IT in
order to fulfill business objectives is occurring: one now wishes to look
beyond IT services to the context where the services are used. This is
termed Business-driven IT Management (BDIM) and is the object of this
workshop.
BDIM focuses on the impact of IT on business processes and business-level
objectives and vice versa; besides the conventional IT metrics such as
availability and response time, it looks at other key performance indicators
(KPIs), that is metrics that have significance from the point of view of the
business supported by the IT. The BDIM approach aims at rethinking IT
management from a business perspective, whether this be in an operational,
tactical or strategic context. BDIM is not restricted to IT environments in
enterprises but encompasses techniques and decision making that involve
thinking about IT in terms of objectives that are at business level, of
organizations that may not traditionally be classified as "businesses".
The second edition of the BDIM workshop builds on the success of the first
edition, that was held in conjunction with NOMS 2006. BDIM 2007 aims to
continue building the community of researchers in business-driven IT
management by inviting complete, original, unpublished contributions in the
following, or related topic areas:
- Models for measuring/estimating business-IT alignment
(- Models for IT faults and performance degradations)
(- Data mining techniques for impact model construction)
(- Modeling of business operations and their relationships to IT)
(- Modeling of business strategies and their relationships to IT)
(- Modeling IT risk and IT-related business risk- Software tools for
Business-driven IT management)
(- Semantic web models for business-IT alignment)
- Decision support for IT Management from a business perspective
(- Business-driven IT optimization problems)
(- Business-driven IT planning and decision-making)
(- IT actions to enhance/optimize business performance)
- Automation for IT Management from a business perspective
(- Adaptive/autonomic computing from a business perspective)
(- Automated IT management solutions from a business perspective)
- Business Objectives, Processes and SLM
(- Business process modeling for IT management)
(- Business-driven Service Level Management)
(- Business-driven dynamic provisioning)
(- Business-driven inventory management)
(- Business continuity management and its impact on IT)
(- Accounting, Billing, Chargeback and linkages to business
objectives)
(- IT Governance, ITSM, COBIT)
(- Business objectives and their impact on new IT paradigms like
utility/grid computing)
- Case studies in Business-driven IT management (in e-commerce, messaging,
...)
(- E-commerce, e-business and relation to IT infrastrcutures)
(- Services infrastructures and QOS concerns (MTBF, MTTR, Response
times, latency etc) that have customer impact)
