by Augusto Casaca 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Dear Guy, The TC6 minutes of the Paris meeting indicate that the second meeting of TC6 this year will occur on Septmeber 27th and 28th. On the other hand, the information I got from Kiril (including its coupling with the conference that he is organizing) are 28th and 29th September in Borovez. I have organized my agenda according to Kiril's mail, but the most important thing now is to clarify what are the real dates. Could you please do it? Best regards Augusto Casaca

ICST - Multicom-4G - Call for papers
by info＠icstconferences.org 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

MobiMedia 2007 Workshop MULTICOM-4G CALL FOR PAPERS MULTICOM-4G is the Workshop on Convergence among Mobile Multimedia Services and Fourth-Generation Wireless Networking Standards: Technical Challenges and Users Perspectives, organized in the context of the MobiMedia 2007 Conference. The ambitious goals of future 4G standardization process are well known: broadband mobile connectivity, ubiquitous connectivity, global coverage reached by a tight integration of terrestrial and satellite networking infrastructures, adaptive reconfigurability of the terminals, seamless vertical handover, etc. Pillars in the transition from 3G to 4G are represented by multicarrier modulations (OFDM, MC-CDMA), software-defined radio (SDR) technologies, situation- location aware networks and services. If this panorama is framed in a multimedia perspective, some questions obviously arise. Could 4G standards be broadband enough to improve perceptual quality of video streaming, real- time interaction in delay-sensitive applications, throughput of TCP-based applications? How can mobility issues be addressed by 4G standards in multimedia applications? In other words, will it be possible to provide a good quality of service also to multimedia users travelling by high-speed trains or airplanes? What would the real impact of SDR technologies be on multimedia service provision? How might be efficiently exploited location-situation awareness in order to improve the perceived QoS? Should the concept of wireless security be revised in a renewed framework of large-scale broadband multimedia mobility? To try to answer to these questions (and to other ones), MULTICOM-4G workshop is organized. MULTICOM-4G aims at bringing together leading experts on multimedia signal processing and mobile communications in order to exchange novel ideas about the future of multimedia communications in the perspective of the broadband mobile revolution expected with the near- future deployment of 4G standards. WORKSHOP TOPICS Multicarrier modulation MIMO systems Future-generation mobile networking protocols for multimedia applications Software radio techniques for multimedia communications Middleware for multimedia communications Advanced channel coding techniques for multimedia communications High-speed mobility and broadband multimedia Multimedia handset implementation issues Satellite communications and multimedia applications: a look to the future Innovative video coding techniques for mobile HDTV services Wireless ad-hoc networks for mobile multimedia Security issues in next-generation mobile multimedia services Applications: the end-user perspective THE WORKSHOP LOCATION Nafpaktos is a seaside town, bordered by the Corinthian gulf; it combines mountains and seaside in a unique way, in a picture of unequalled beauty, where the greatest jewel is the unique Venetian castle, ending to a spectacular vision, the Port of Nafpaktos. The hospitable city of Nafpaktos, a city of unequalled beauty and rich historical heritage, has plenty of sights: the Castle at the top of the hill, which ends to the small, graphic port with Venetian walls, the imposing Clock, the Old City and its historical centre which preserves its traditional physiognomy, Botsaris mansion, the beautiful, picturesque beaches which frame the Venetian Port and offer a spectacular view of the Corinthian Gulf and the impressive Rio-Antirrio Bridge.

Sorry of you have received multiple copies. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE Golbecom 2007: Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium - CALL FOR PAPERS 26-30 November 2007 Washington, DC, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Date: March 15th, 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Co-Chairs : Prof. Azzedine Boukerche, Email: boukerch(a)site.uottawa.ca Prof. Hussein Mouftah, Email: mouftah(a)site.uottawa.ca Prof. Hsiao-Hwa Chen, Email: hshwchen(a)ieee.org Scope Multi-hop wireless Ad Hoc and sensor networks are self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes within communication range of each other that form temporary networks. Ad hoc wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity with complete lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The last few years have witnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad hoc and sensor networks that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. Such networks can be randomly and rapidly deployed and reconfigured and easily tailored to specific applications including entertainment, civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance due to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication. Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop to multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several challenges face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous deployment of ad hoc and sensor networks. These include variable topology, device heterogeneity, limited power supply and the lack of effective energy-efficient design, lack of QoS and application support, etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks. You are invited to submit original technical papers covering but not limited to the following topics.

************************************************************ * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * ACCESSNETS 2007 * * The Second International Conference on Access Networks * * August 22-24, 2007, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada * * http://www.accessnets.org/2007/ * * * ************************************************************ Co-Sponsored by Create-Net and ICST Technically sponsored by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Ottawa Section 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 financial 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 recent work on all aspects of access networks and how they integrate with their in-home counterparts. AccessNets'07 is the second edition of this exciting event, which will be held in Ottawa, the beautiful and historical capital city of Canada, in August 2007. The conference will consist of technical sessions, workshops, and panels. The technical sessions will present original and fundamental research advances while the workshops and panels will focus on development, application, and related business issues in this hot and exciting area. TOPICS: The conference solicits original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * FTTx and PON technologies * xDSL technology and DSM * Hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) technology * Cable-based access technology * Powerline communication technology * Digital satellite access technology * WiFi and WiMax networks * Wireless mesh networks * Integrated wired/wireless networks * Long reach Ethernet * Home networks * Networked appliances * Hybrid wired/wireless LANs * Municipal and community networks * Network architectures and protocols * Medium access control * Cross-layer design * OFDM, OFDMA, CDMA techniques * MIMO techniques * Service convergence * Quality of service provisioning * Network scalability and upgradeability * Network survivability and security * Billing and management aspects * Business and regulatory aspects * Deployment/standardization statuses PANELS AND WORKSHOPS: We solicit panel and workshop proposals on hot and controversial topics in access networks. Proposals should be submitted to the panel and workshop co-chairs, respectively. Please visit the conference website for detailed instructions. PAPER SUBMISSION: Please visit the conference website for detailed instructions.
