Apologies if you receive multiple copies CALL FOR PAPER 2nd International Workshop on Software for Sensor Networks (SensorWare) To be held with Comsware 2007 ([ http://www.comsware.org ]www.comsware.org) 8th January 2007, Bangalore India www.sensorware.org Advances in technology have made deployment of miniature sensors a realistic proposition. Low-power, inexpensive smart devices with multiple on-board sensors are connected through wireless links so as to form a collaborative sensor network to perform a specific task. As a result, it opens up a new paradigm of ubiquitous computing and enables a range of applications that are previously unrealizable or too costly to be realized. However, given the limitation of on-board hardware, one of the key areas towards achieving superior performance is through software implementation. The workshop is intended to bring together industry experts and researchers to share novel techniques, algorithms and software implementation for sensor networks, and to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications in the form of panels and technical presentation. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: 1. Operating System 2. Efficient algorithms 3. Protocol design considerations 4. Performance analysis 5. Performance related issues 6. Cross-layered design considerations 7. Sensor applications and their impact on sensor network architectures 8. Deployment issues and scenarios 9. Middleware 10. Sensor network security 11.

Annals of Telecommunications
by Guy Pujolle 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Dear IFIP TC6 members, The Annals of Telecommunications is ranked 46 in the Journal Citation Report. This is an indexed Journal by ISI. This Journal is 60 years old and was one of the best Journal in Telecommunications for a long time but when French was a strong language. Now the Journal is in English (except very few papers in French). One of the objective of this Journal is to definitely come back on the international scene and for that the Journal would like a support from IFIP TC6. I think this Journal is not in competition with the potential IFIP TC6 Journal but complementary (say would like to be like IEEE Com Mag in comparison with some IEEE Transactions). Moreover, the same editor could be envisaged with the IFIP TC6 Journal but this is another story. This message is to invite some members of the TC6 to become guest editor for a special issue on any subject of interest within the TC6. Let me know if some are interested in and on what subject. The special issue would appear in the second part of 2007 (all the issues are now full until this date). Best regards, Guy Chairman of the Scientific Committee of The Annals of Telecommunications http://www.annales-des-telecommunications.com/index.php?page=eng_accueil _____________________________________ Guy Pujolle Guy.Pujolle(a)lip6.fr Université Pierre et Marie Curie 8 rue du Capitaine Scott, 75015 Paris, France Assistante: Laetitia Jacquey, Laetitia.jacquey(a)lip6.fr tel: +33 1 44 27 87 74 fax +33 1 44 27 87 83

This WG focus could be on thenormalization of AC interfaces and environment (this is an output of discussions held sometime ago in a conference in Mykonos). So the TC6 could propose officially this solutionand let the ACF continues its very strong work within the TC6 with a large freedom.

CFP - 1st IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2006)
by Burkhard Stiller 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Apologies for possibly receiving multiple copies of this CFP. Call for Papers 1st IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2006) http://www.csg.unizh.ch/events/bod06/ In conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2006 http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2006/ November 27, 2006 San Francisco, California, USA Scope Electronic marketplaces for trading bandwidth have emerged since the late 1990’s, but were seriously hit by the economic downturn in 2001. The promise of instant bandwidth availability had led to the development of market mechanisms that companies used to trade bandwidth just as other commodities. However, those trading markets all but disappeared with the bursting of the telecom bubble. Driven by the recent technical advances in telecommunications and the new potentials of emerging peer-to-peer (P2P) and next generation networks (NGN), the goal of this workshop is to take a fresh and innovative look at the concept of bandwidth on demand (BOD). Recent advances in the Internet-based communications domain, in which the support of Quality-of-Service and diverse application services become possible, require in many cases short-termed bandwidth assignments for, e.g., large sporting events or cultural open air activities. In addition, the support of bandwidth trading in a fully decentralized and secured manner, e.g., based on P2P schemes, shows further advantages in terms of reliability and scalability for large-scale systems. Topics of Interest The workshop seeks original papers in the following four areas that serve as basis for bandwidth on demand: * Economic studies and modeling of market and business models in carrier and service provider networks o Game theoretical bandwidth-on-demand models o Cost and revenue models o Bandwidth-on-demand business models o Market liquidity aspects * Technical design of scalable, reliable, and cost-effective bandwidth trading infrastructures, including market mechanisms as a way to increase efficiencies o Scalable market mechanisms o Secure and reliable market infrastructures o Bandwidth trading mechanisms o IP-based and decentralized trading mechanisms o P2P trading infrastructures, distributed markets o P2P auctions * Legislative and regulatory issues related to the Telecom Act and in comparison to other commodities markets such as the electric grid o Telecom legislation o Telecom regulation o Commodities markets * Industrial developments of new technologies that facilitate or create impediments to bandwidth on demand o Network management aspects o Technical improvements in transport and data networks Paper Submissions Papers are solicited as full papers (in English), of no more than 8 single-spaced pages, each of which will be subject to a full review process. Submissions must be in PDF and will be handled using the JEMS system. Please refer to http://www.csg.unizh.ch/events/bod06/ for further submission instructions or contact bod06(a)ifi.unizh.ch for additional information. Those papers accepted will be published in proceedings with an ISBN number. Important Dates * Submission deadline: August 31, 2006 * Notification of acceptance: October 15, 2006 * Final versions of papers due: October 31, 2006 * Workshop date: November 27, 2006 Committees General Co-chairs * Takeo Hamada, Fujitsu Laboratories of America, USA * Burkhard Stiller, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland PC Co-chairs * Richard Rabbat, Fujitsu Laboratories of America, USA * David Hausheer, University of Zurich, Switzerland Technical Program Committee * Panayotis Antoniadis, LIP6, France * Greg Bernstein, Grotto Networking, USA * Georg Carle, University of Tübingen, Germany * Costas Courcoubetis, AUEB, Greece * György Dán, KTH, Sweden * Vasilios Darlagiannis, EPFL, Switzerland * Zoran Despotovic, DoCoMo Euro-Labs München, Germany * Oliver Heckmann, TU Darmstadt, Germany * Rahul Jain, UC Berkeley, USA * Dave Marples, Telcordia, USA * Huw Oliver, Bristol, Research Consultant, UK * Lyndon Ong, Ciena, USA * Aiko Pras, University of Twente, The Netherlands * Giancarlo Ruffo, University of Torino, Italy * Vik Saxena, Comcast, USA * Kohei Shiomoto, NTT Labs, Japan * to be extended

Advances in the range of network service offerings, performance, quality of service, security, and ubiquity continue to flourish, despite global economy fluctuations. Access to experimental infrastructures for real-life applications by specific user communities benefits all of the stakeholders involved: the end users, because of the first-hand evaluation of the provided services, the researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the knowledge gained from hands-on study and analysis, and the service providers, because of the business exploitation of the network. The goal of TridentCom is to create a forum where telecommunication networks researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, requirements, needs, and visions for future establishment of such infrastructures. It showcases experimental activities, such as testing, verification, integration, measurement, and deployment, which are pivotal to achieving next generation communications. PAPER SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------ Prospective authors are invited to submit high quality papers as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all aspects of test bed and research infrastructure operation and management, including, but not limited to: * Next Generation Internet Test beds * Next Generation Wireless Network Test beds * Next Generation Optical Network Test beds * Ubiquitous Network Test beds * Wireless Sensor Test beds * Test bed Operation & Management for User Communities * Test bed Operation & Management for Research Communities * Test bed Cooperation & Integration * Innovative Measurements Methodologies & Tools * Traffic Measurements Test beds * Software Tools to Support Distributed Test beds / Virtual Laboratories * Management of Massive Databases of Experimental Data * Knowledge & Technology Transfer Procedures * Security (AAA) Testing on Open Test beds * Social Impacts of Infrastructures * Infrastructures for Real-Life Applications * Business Models for Infrastructure Budgeting & Planning * Infrastructure Renting & Pricing Policies * Vendors & Providers Partnerships Submit full papers of up to 10 pages, including references, figures and tables, and formatted according to the IEEE 8.5" x 11" proceedings format.
