Dear all, Hope that you will be interested in contributing to this workshop. Aplogize if you received this CFP multiple times. Regards, Sunghyun Choi --- Call for Papers WILLOPAN 2006 The First International Workshop on Wireless Personal and Local Area Networks http://www.willopan.org/ In Conjunction with COMSWARE 2006 January 8th, 2006 New Delhi, India Wireless local area networks (LANs) and personal area networks (PANs) are becoming more and more popular today. Applications for such networks include wireless extensions of wired networks (such as 802.11 family of networks), cable replacement and short-range communications (such as Bluetooth and UWB), packet radio networks, sensor networks (such as 802.15.4 ZigBee), and other wireless networks with fixed or variable topology. Performance of such networks is the major factor that determines their feasibility for the given set of application requirements. Performance has many different aspects, from physical and data link layers, and all of these are intimately related to topology, energy efficiency, management, user mobility, and security issues. The key goals of this improvement include Quality of Service (QoS) support mechanisms, efficient channel access mechanisms, and energy saving mechanisms, etc. The effort to improve the MAC layer is linked with many technical challenges including compatibility with legacy networks, complexity in implementation, and practical values in real market, etc. The need to address QoS support, MAC enhancement, and energy saving and provide timely, solid technical contributions in the MAC layer of these networks establishes the motivation behind this workshop. Original papers are invited on emerging architectures and technologies in the design of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wireless personal area networks (WPANs) with emphasis on the use of such networks in diverse areas of applications such as supporting ubiquitous mobile Internet access, and the design of ad-hoc/mesh networks, and sensor networks. The workshop solicits high quality and previously unpublished work in the field. The main scope of the workshop is the MAC layer and above. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Design and improvements of MAC protocols - Performance evaluation of different MAC protocols - Mobility and handoff - Scheduling and link adaptation - UWB wireless networks and related issues - Spectral and power management issues - Cross-layer approaches - Network measurement and management - Range estimation and location management (e.g., using UWB) Workshop Co-Chairs: Sai Shankar N Qualcomm Inc, USA nsaishankar(a)qualcomm.com Sunghyun Choi Seoul National University, KOREA schoi(a)snu.kr Submission Guidelines: All papers are limited to 6 pages and must be in standard IEEE double-column format.

CFP - SensorWare 06
by Boon Sain Yeo 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

(My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) *********************************************************** 1st International Workshop on Software for Sensor Networks (SensorWare) - CFP *********************************************************** Welcome to the 1st International Workshop on Software for Sensor Networks (SensorWare) to be held on the 8 January 2006. The workshop is held in conjunction with COMSWARE 2006 in the beautiful and historical city of New Delhi. Advances in technology have made deployment of miniature sensors a realistic proposition. These sensors are low-power, inexpensive, smart devices with multiple on-board sensors, and 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 the software implementation. The workshop is intended for the presentation and discussion of novel algorithms and software implementation for sensor networks. This workshop, intends to bring together engineering experts and academicians 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: Operating System Efficient algorithms Protocol design Performance analysis Performance related issues Sensor applications Deployment issues and scenarios Middleware Sensor security Sensor network design and modeling Workshop co-chairs: Nirmala Shenoy (ns(a)rit.edu), RIT, USA Boon Sain Yeo (boonyeo(a)ieee.org), Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore TPC Members: Holger Karl, University of Paderborn, Germany, Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Kui Wu, University of Victoria, Canada, Daeyoung Kim, ICU, Korea Leonard Barolli, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan, Wei-Peng, Fujitsu Labs of America, USA Jason Redi, BBN Technologies, USA Biao Chen, Syracuse University, USA Hairong Qi, University of Tennessee, USA Xiaojun Cao, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA Xin Wang, University of Buffalo, USA James Minseok Kwon, RIT, USA Wenye Wang, North Carolina State University, USA Fei Hu, RIT, USA Robin Chellappa, Deakin Univeristy, Australia Technical Papers has to be submitted to the co-chairs at boonyeo(a)ieee.org.

/* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. */ CALL FOR PAPERS - FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'06) CCNC 2006 - Workshop January 7-10, 2006, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The second IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.
