TC6 calendar - missing contributions
by Otto Spaniol 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

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.

MASS 2006 deadline extended to April 7
by Pedro M. Ruiz 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

We apologize for any duplicate reception of this notification. ======================================================= Submission deadline has been extended to April 7, 2006. ======================================================= 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 SUBMISSION Technical papers: All submissions must be full papers in .pdf or .ps (PostScript) format. Papers must be uploaded to EDAS by March 31, 2006, and must not exceed 10 single-spaced, two-column pages using at least 11 point size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. Detailed submission instructions will be published in due time on the conference website http://www.ieee-mass.org together with format files. Workshops: Proposals for full day workshops are solicited. Selections will be made considering the expertise and experience of the workshop organizers and the relevance of the topic to the central theme of the conference. Proposals of at most 4 pages, including a 1-page biographical sketch, should be submitted to the Workshops Chair, Elizabeth M. Belding-Royer (ebelding(a)cs.ucsb.edu ) by March 31, 2006.

Problems with conference dates
by Otto Spaniol 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Dear all, in our conference calendar we have: Open Conference; 11th Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (PWC2006); WG 6.8 20 - 22 September, 2006; Albacete, Spain; Email contact: Pedro Cuenca, pedro.cuenca(a)uclm.es URL: 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. Best regards Otto

ALGOSENSORS 06: First Call for Papers
by Ioannis Chatzigiannakis 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

[Apologies for multiple postings] 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 PROGRAM COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS Sotiris Nikoletseas, U. of Patras and CTI, Greece Jose Rolim, U. of Geneva, Switzerland PROGRAM COMMITTEE - Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA - Azzedine Boukerche, U. of Ottawa, Canada - Costas Busch, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA - Ioannis Chatzigiannakis, U. of Patras and CTI, Greece - Andrea Clementi, U. of Rome "Tor Vergata", Italy - Josep Diaz, T.U. of Catalonia, Spain - Tassos Dimitriou, Athens Information Technology, Greece - Shlomi Dolev, Ben-Gurion U., Israel - Deborah Estrin, UCLA, USA - Alfredo Ferro, U. of Catania, Italy - Stefan Fischer, U. of Luebeck, Germany - Pierre Fraigniaud, CNRS, U.
