von Pedro M. Ruiz

Please find below the following call for papers for the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems to be held in Vancouver, Canada. Please note that submission deadline (March 31) is fast approaching. All the best, --Pedro -- Pedro M. Ruiz Publicity co-chair IEEE MASS 2006 http://ants.dif.um.es/staff/pedrom/ -- 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 Computer 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.

WRS06 2nd call for paper

von wrs06＠redstar.cs.pdx.edu

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WRS06 The Sixth International Workshop on Reduction Strategies in Rewriting and Programming http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~antoy/wrs06/ The Seattle Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Seattle, Washington, August 11, 2006 Scope The workshop intends to promote and stimulate international research and collaboration in the area of evaluation strategies. It encourages the presentation of new directions,developments and results as well as surveys and tutorials on existing knowledge in this area. Reduction strategies study which subexpression(s) of an expression should be selected for evaluation and which rule(s) should be applied. These choices affect fundamental properties of a computation such as laziness, strictness, completeness and need to name a few. For this reason some programming languages, e.g., Elan, Maude, *OBJ* and Stratego, allow the explicit definition of the evaluation strategy, whereas other languages,e.g., Clean, Curry, and Haskell, allow its modification. Strategies pose challenging theoretical problems and play an important role in practical tools such as theorem provers, model checkers and programming languages. In implementations of languages, strategies bridge the gap between operational principles, e.g., graph and term rewriting,narrowing and lambda-calculus, and semantics, e.g., normalization, computation of values and head-normalization. The previous editions of the workshop were: WRS 2001 (Utrecht, The Netherlands),WRS 2002 (Copenhagen, Denmark), WRS 2003 (Valencia, Spain), WRS 2004 (Aachen, Germany), and WRS 2005 (Nara, Japan). See also the WRS permanent page at http://www.dsic.upv.es/~wrs/ Important Dates Abstract Submission: May 8, 2006 Paper Submission: May 15, 2006 Author Notification: June 12, 2006 Camera-Ready: July 10, 2006 Conference: Aug 11, 2006 Program Committee Sergio Antoy, (chair) Portland State University Santiago Escobar, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia Juergen Giesl, RWTH Aachen Bernhard Gramlich, Technische Universitat Wien Ralf Laemmel, Microsoft Corp. Salvador Lucas, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia Narciso Marti-Oliet, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Mizuhito Ogawa, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Jaco van de Pol, Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica Manfred Schmidt-Schauss, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitat Topics Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: * theoretical foundations for the definition and semantic description of reduction strategies * strategies in different frameworks such as term rewriting, graph rewriting, infinitary rewriting, lambda calculi, higher order rewriting, conditional rewriting, rewriting with built-ins, narrowing, constraint solving, etc. * application of strategies to equational, functional, functional-logic programming languages * properties of reduction strategies and corresponding computations, e.g., completeness, computability, decidability, complexity, optimality, normalization, cofinality, fairness, perpetuality, context-freedom, need, laziness, eagerness, strictness * interrelations, combinations and applications of reduction under different strategies, e.g., evaluation mechanisms in programming languages, equivalence conditions for fundamental properties like termination and confluence, applications in modularity analysis, connections between strategies of different frameworks,etc. * program analysis and other semantics-based optimization techniques dealing with reduction strategies * rewrite systems, tools, implementations with flexible or programmable strategies as an essential concept or ingredient * specification of reduction strategies in real languages strategies suitable to software engineering problems and applications tutorials and systems related to evaluation strategies Submissions Submissions must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere.

Re: [ifip-tc6] IFIP Digital Library

von Radford, Peter

Otto Given your deadline the following comments have to be taken as "first pass"! I agree with Harry that the terms used are a little confusing; it would be better to say a "simplified digital library" or "basic digital library" rather than introduce an additional term like "electronic repository". There is an ambiguity in that "free" could mean either "at no cost" or "with no restriction". Which of these is meant in step 1.c should be made clear (or maybe it's both)! I'm not sure that I would want to commit to either of them for the future (see below). Similarly, there might be various interpretations of "when feasible". What makes it infeasible: lack of effort, lack of money or legal restrictions such as copyright. I'm not sure that "source versions of IFIP publications" is necessary. If the archive is to be useful, it should be possible to retrieve the contents at some time in the future. It would be better to have everything in one format, rather than having to use one of twenty versions (well, maybe not 20 but...) of Word, WordPerfect, Wordstar ... at some time in the future. Do the conversion NOW while we still have the programs. Equally, I'm not sure that "passwords" are the right mechanism to control access, if access is to be controlled. They can be passed around too easily and there are lots of problems with managing them. I think the statement on page should be technology neutral and we should not commit to passwords. Digital Rights Management or Content Management may come up with something or it may be better to use digital keys of some sort. Finally, money! Most of the paper seems to assume that no-one gets charged for accessing the material in the digital library but someone has to pay, at least for the cost of running the system, even if it doesn't make any money for IFIP. ("You have to make a profit to be pious".) My view is that IFIP should look at the options and the business models for pay to view (or even pay to submit) before it commits to a long-term digital library that makes no charges. It may be that someone like Google would be prepared to operate the digital library at no cost to IFIP because it (Google) believes it could make enough money from advertising (perhaps with adverts for related conferences, books, etc). IFIP ought to explore this - and I'd be interested in Guy Leduc's views on the question of charging. I hope this helps! Regards Peter PS I also agree with Harry that "the real work lies ahead" -----Original Message----- From: ifip-tc6-bounces(a)lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE [mailto:ifip-tc6-bounces@lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE] On Behalf Of Otto Spaniol Sent: 28 February 2006 10:30 To: Harry Rudin Cc: ifip Subject: Re: [ifip-tc6] IFIP Digital Library Hello Harry, > >One item should be clarified: the introductory paragraph refers to a >"digital library". In paragraph 1. apparently the terminology is >changed to an "electronic repository". The equivalence has to be >deduced. I see no reason why the term "digital library" cannot be used >throughout. > Thank you very much for your comments. My feeling is that by using the term "electronic repository" it was intended to denote a "simplified digital librar". This is expressed in page 3: "The digital library can be developed incrementally, beginning with a simple repository and later adding more capabilities". Thus we have three things: a. Electronic archive: For the past events. And also as a backup storage in case that there would be unforeseen problems with the digital library. b. Electronic Repository: A first step towards a *real* digital library. First with limited functionality such as paper abstracts and (whenever possible) extended abstracts. c. Digital library: The final step. The intermediate step b. is intended to speed up the process since we cannot wait four more years (until 2009) which is the validity of the actual Springer contract during which a DL has to be established by Springer. In clear text: Springer could theoretically wait for that until the end of the contract period.
