Dear all,
please find the new TC6 calendar in the attachment.
It is probably (and hopefully) still incomplete.
After my corresponding request I received answers from:
WG 6.1 (by John Derrick)
WG 6.6 (Raouf Boutaba)
WG 6.9 (Ana Pont Sanjuan)
WG 6.7 (indirectly from Olli Martickainen)
WG 6.8 (indirectly from Jan Slavik)
WG 6.11 (indirectly by Reima Suomi)
WG 6.2 (indirectly by Guy Pujolle)
The latter ones by CfP's but please believe me that this is tedious work
for me.
Thus the list of missing WG's can be derived.
Could I get, please, the corresponding information also from WG 6.3., 6.4,...?
Note: It would be even better if the events would be sorted by time; this
makles the adaptation of the calendar much easier if the WG has several
events.
We apologize for any duplicate reception of this notification.

Call for Papers
The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems
(MASS-2006)
October 9 - 12, 2006
Vancouver, Canada
http://www.ieee-mass.org
Sponsored by
IEEE Communications Society, IEEE TC on Distributed Processing and TC on
Simulation
OVERVIEW
Earlier research in wireless networks and mobile computing has
concentrated on single-hop
networks, where network nodes communicate directly with a fixed
infrastructure, such as
cellular or satellite systems. More recently, interest in multi-hop
networks, such as mobile
ad hoc networks and sensor networks, has stimulated a significant amount
of scientific research.
In particular, wireless mesh networking (a new community network
architecture) has been proposed
as an alternative for providing Internet access to business and
residential customers. This
conference focuses on multi-hop ad hoc and sensor networks systems,
covering topics ranging
from physical issues to applications.
TOPICS
Manuscripts that focus on analytical modeling, protocol/algorithm
design, and/or experimental
studies of the following topics of interest are sought:
- Channel behavior modeling and its impact on design of higher-layer
protocols
- Directional and smart antennas for ad hoc networks
- MAC protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB)
- Provisioning of wireless QoS; e.g., bandwidth and delay assurance
- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast) and
routing metrics
- Data transport in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
- Power-aware and energy-efficient design
- Topology construction and maintenance of coverage
- Cross-layer design and optimization
- Incentives and game theoretic approaches in wireless ad hoc networks
- Localization and synchronization in wireless sensor networks
- Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in wireless sensor
- Reliability, security, and trustworthiness in ad hoc and sensor
networks
- Operating system and middleware support
- Applications of multi-hop technology

Dear all,
in our conference calendar we have:
Open Conference;
11th Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (PWC2006); WG 6.8

Recently we got the following information:
3rd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems 2006
6 - 8 September 2006, Valencia (Spain)
www.iswcs.org/iswcs2006
Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE and the IEEE Vehicular Technology
Society.
This is far from being perfect. It would not even be meaningful to attend both
conferences back to back (if you don't intend to have 12 days of vacation
in Spain - which would be very nice, however, in September).
But anyway these two events are so (!) near to each other that they will
steal the participants vice versa.
I think that we should have a better control about competing
events in the same area. I agree that the information about those events
may be
difficult to obtain but we have to try to do our very best.
By the way: Apparently the information about the IEEE conference came from
our delegate from Singapore (whom we have not yet seen at a meting),
namely Boon Sain Yeo <boonsain.yeo(a)wavex-tech.com>. I have had a
different email address from him and I would like to ask whether I should
replace his address in our email exploder - in order not to be forced to
treat his
messages manually.

ALGOSENSORS 06:
International Workshop on
Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks
July 15 2006, Venice, Italy
To be held in conjunction with ICALP 2006
http://ru1.cti.gr/algosensors06/
SCOPE
Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active
research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse services
to numerous important applications, including remote monitoring and
tracking in environmental applications and low maintenance ambient
intelligence in everyday life. The effective and efficient realization of
such large scale, complex ad-hoc networking environments requires
intensive, coordinated technical research and development efforts,
especially in power aware, scalable, robust wireless distributed
protocols, due to the unusual application requirements and the severe
resource constraints of the sensor devices.
On the other hand, a solid foundational background seems necessary for
sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is a challenge for
abstract modelling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably
efficient, scalable and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge,
highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including the
extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the severe power,
computating and memory limitations, their dense, random deployment and
frequent failures, pose new interesting abstract modeling, algorithmic
design, analysis and implementation challenges.
This Workshop aims to bring together research contributions related to
diverse algorithmic aspects of wireless sensor networks.
TOPICS
Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including (but not
limited to):
* Models of sensor networks
* Methods for ad hoc deployment/topology control
* Energy management
* Data propagation and routing
* Localization
* Tracking
* Data aggregation/data compression
* Obstacle avoidance
* Power saving schemes
* Communication protocols
* Medium access control
* Security and trust
* Distributed computing issues
