CALL FOR POSTERS The 5th IEEE/ACM International Conference on DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING IN SENSOR SYSTEMS (DCOSS) June 8 - 10, 2009, Marina Del Rey, California, USA DCOSS 2009 solicits posters on recent original results or ongoing research in the area of wireless sensor networks. Authors are invited to submit interesting results on all aspects of wireless sensor networks, including algorithms, protocols, systems and applications. Poster presentations will provide authors with early feedback on their research work and enable them to exchange ideas with DCOSS participants. All posters will be reviewed and judged based on their originality, technical contribution and, particularly, their potential to generate interesting exchanges of ideas. Poster proposals are limited to 3 pages (conference template here) and should highlight the leading idea of the on-going research and its expected outcome and impact. Important dates: Poster Proposals Due: May 20, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: May 23, 2009 Submission Instructions: Proposals should be sent via email as PDF file to the Poster Session Chair at basagni [AT] ece.neu.edu. Please indicate "DCOSS09 Poster Proposal Submission" as the subject of the email.

The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners to present and share the latest results in the areas of performance,configuration, cross-layer approaches, scalability, resilience and survivability of large scale heterogeneous networks and distributed systems. Following the tradition of the previous QShine meetings, QShine 2009 will feature prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field. Original papers addressing performance optimization and Quality of Service support, ranging from the link layer to the application layer, over large-scale wired and wireless networks and distributed system, are solicited. Authors are encouraged to submit theoretical and/or experimental results of significance. The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to: * Quality of Service provisioning in wired and wireless networks and distributed systems * Design, implementation or architectures related to QoS-enabled networks and distributed systems * QoS routing in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks and distributed systems * QoS-aware service composition in distributed systems * QoS in WLAN, WPAN, WMAN and WiMAX (IEEE 802.11/15/16/20) * QoS in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks * QoS support across heterogeneous wired and wireless sub-networks * MAC protocols with QoS support in wireless networks * Topology control for QoS support in wireless networks * QoS and survivability in mobile environments * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, and admission control * QoS adaptation, modeling and measurements * Game-theoretic aspects in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks and distributed systems * Incentive engineering in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks and distributed systems * Pricing, billing, and resource allocation in wired, overlay and wireless networks * Traffic analysis, traffic engineering, and traffic shaping in heterogeneous environments * Security protocols and algorithms in wired, overlay and wireless networks * Scalability of large-scale overlay and wireless networks * Resilience of overlay and wireless protocols * Cross-layer protocol design in wireless networks * Cross-layer performance optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: * General co-chairs: Novella Bartolini, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Sotiris Nikoletseas, University of Patras, Greece * Steering Committee Co-Chairs: Imrich Chlamtac, Create-Net, Italy Xuemin (Sherman) Shen, University of Waterloo, Canada Xi Zhang, Texas A&M University, USA * Program chair: Prasun Sinha, Ohio State University, USA * Poster chair: Romit Roy Choudhury, Duke University, USA * Workshop chair: Annalisa Massini, Sapienza University, Italy * Local Committee Co-Chairs: Alvaro Suarez Sarmiento, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain Elsa Macias, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain * Publicity chair: Simone Silvestri, Sapienza University, Italy * Conference coordinator: Maria Morozova, ICST, Belgium IMPORTANT DATES: Full Papers due: May 22, 2009, Friday, 5pm EST Notification of Acceptance: July 10, 2009 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: September 5, 2009 Conference Dates: 23-26 November, 2009 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS QShine 2009 invites submission of manuscripts that present original material and that have not been previously published or under review by another conference or journal. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the full paper in ACM conference proceedings format, which are limited to 8 single-spaced two-column pages (including all figures and references) in a 10 point font. Authors of submitted papers should select 1 or 2 keywords to allow a better classification and assignment of papers to reviewers. All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the ASSYST system. PUBLICATION All submitted papers will go through a peer review process. All accepted papers will be included in the Qshine 2009 Conference Proceedings. All accepted papers will be made available in Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library and then be indexed by Engineering Information (EI). Research papers of particular merit will be selected for consideration of fast track publication in a special issue of ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (pending). -- Simone Silvestri Phd Student University of Rome "La Sapienza" Via Salaria 113, 00198 Rome - Italy Ph: (+39) 0685768430 web: http://www.dsi.uniroma1.it/~silvestr/ From shpungin at cs.bgu.ac.il Sun May 31 23:33:25 2009 From: shpungin at cs.bgu.ac.il (Hanan Shpungin) Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 09:33:25 +0300 (IDT) Subject: [Smac-users] IFIP MedHocNet'09: Call for Participation (Haifa, Israel, June 2009) Message-ID: <200906010633.n516XPNU025478@indigo.cs.bgu.ac.il> * Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message * --- Call for Participation --- The 8th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop, Med-Hoc-Net 2009 Haifa, Israel Viterbi Computech Center, Department of Electrical Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, June 29-July 1, 2009 Technically sponsored by: IEEE Communications Society and Euro-NF Network of Excellence http://www.ee.technion.ac.il/med-hoc-net2009/index.htm The registration form can be found in: http://www.ee.technion.ac.il/med-hoc-net2009/registration.html ---------------------------------------------------------------- Med-Hoc-Net is a major annual international workshop, aiming to serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry.
