CFP: Special Issue on "Cognitive Wireless Networks" - Computer Networks (Elsevier) Journal
by Ozgur B. Akan 23 Oct '06

23 Oct '06

[We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ===================================================================== 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 http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet. Here are important dates for this special issue: • Paper submission deadline: December 20, 2006 • Notification of acceptance: February 28, 2007 • Final version of accepted manuscripts due: March 31, 2007 • Planned publication: May 2007 Special Issue Guest Editors: • Ye (Geoffrey) Li, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA • Joseph Mitola III*, The MITRE Corporation, USA • Petri Mähönen, RWTH Aachen University, Germany • Milind Buddhikot, Lucent Bell Laboratories, USA *Dr. Mitola's affiliation with The MITRE Corporation is for identification purposes only and does not imply the endorsement of MITRE nor any of its sponsors of this publication. ===================================================================== -- Dr. Ozgur B.

Election of the TC6 Chair for 2007-2009-A reminder
by André Danthine 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

Dear TC6 Member You will find below the (corrected) copy of my message of October 11 about the organization of the election of the TC6 chair for 2007-2009. Deadline for the submission of a candidacy is October 31. It is not too late but it is time.. I look forward. Andre ps: I receive several emails to designate candidates. Sorry but IT IS THE CANDIDATE TO THE POSITION OF TC6 CHAIR WHO MUST INTRODUCE HIS(HER) CANDIDACY. You can encourage any eligible member to introduce its candidacy but not nominate them. ---------------------------- Message original ---------------------------- Objet: Election of the TC6 Chair for 2007-2009 De: André Danthine <Andre.Danthine(a)ulg.ac.be> Date: Mer 11 octobre 2006 10:44 À: "IFIP TC6" <ifip-tc6(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de> Copie à: Brigitte.Brauneis(a)ifip.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Haring Gueuter Leduc Guy Sousa Jose Neuman de Boyanov Kiril Mason Lorne Slavik Jan Iversen Villy Martikainen Olli Pujolle Guy Spaniol Otto Dibuz Sarolta Raghavan S.V. Saito Tadao Niemegeers I. Aagesen Fin Grzech Adam Casaca Augusto Koen Koos Puigjaner Ramon Khakhar Dipak Rudin Harry Wuwongse Vilas Radford Peter Chapin Lyman 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. Andre Danthine TC6 honorary member
