Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing
Special Issue on Mobile Ad-hoc Networking and Computing
URL: www.cs.unt.edu/~boukerch/JPDC2K1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The field of mobile and wireless networking is reemerging amid unprecedented
growth in the scale and diversity of computer networking. However, many
today's wireless local area networks (WLAN) need an infrastructure network.
Infrastructure networks not only provide access to other networks, but also
include forwarding functions, medium access control, etc. In these
infrastructure-based wireless networks, communication typically takes place
only between the wireless nodes and the access point, but not directly
between the wireless nodes. Ad hoc wireless networks, however, do not need
any infrastructure to work. Each node can communicate with another node; no
access point controlling medium access is necessary.
As opposed to a LAN wired networks, a mobile ad-hoc communication network
will have mobile clients as well as mobile servers, without a pre-existing
communication infrastructure. The dynamic re-configurability of
such a network poses challenges in such diverse areas as routing, bandwidth
management, data management, location management, frequent disconnections,
mobile file handling, wireless broadcasting, network reliability and
security.
Papers are sollicited for a special issue of the Journal of Distributed
Computing (JPDC) on Mobile Ad-hoc Networking and Computing The purpose
of this special issue is to focus on all aspects of mobile ad-hoc networking.
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
o- Mobile communication network architecture
(e,g., self-organizing network architectures and protocols, etc.)
o- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, geocast, content-based, etc.)
for mobile and wireless ad hoc networks
o- Synchronization and scheduling issues in mobile ad-hoc systems.
o- Data management and mobility management for wireless ad-hoc networks
o- Security and fault-tolerance issues for ad hoc networks
o- Resource and information management;
o- Pervasive computing
o- Distributed algorithms for ad hoc networks
(e.g., leader election, group management, etc.)
o- Low power and energy-efficient designs
o- Sensor networks
o- Performance, analysis and simulation of mobile networking protocols;
o- Measuring and negotiating quality of service (QoS)
o- Applications of ad hoc networks (distributed databases,
wireless multimedia, civilian and non-civilian appliactions, etc.)
Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted elsewhere for
publication. Authors are encouraged to submit papers in electronic form
(postcript only) to the Guest Editor: Prof. Azzedine Boukerche
(boukerche(a)cs.unt.edu) by **July 25, 2001**. Five copies of the manuscripts
can also be submitted.
Each submission must accompany a short abstract, names of authors and their
affiliations (e-mail adresses, telephone and fax numbers), and a contact
person for correspondence. All of the articles will be reviewed for their
originality and their contribution following the JPDC's standards and
criteria.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES
==================================
(Apologies if you receive multiple copies)
17th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2002)
Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications
March 10-14, 2002
Madrid, SPAIN
( http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2002/ )
SAC 2002
~~~~~~~~
Over the past sixteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
(SAC) has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists and
application developers from around the world to interact and present
their work. SAC 2002 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on
Applied Computing (SIGAPP) and is presented in cooperation with other
ACM Special Interest Groups. SAC 2002 is hosted by the Universidad
Carlos III de Madrid, Spain.
Authors are invited to contribute original papers in all areas of
experimental computing and application development for the technical
sessions. There will be a number of special tracks on such issues as
Programming Languages, Parallel and Distributed Computing, Agent
Systems, Multimedia and Visualization, etc.
Coordination Models, Languages and Applications Track
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Building on the success of the four previous editions (1998-2001), a
special track on coordination models, languages and applications
will be held at SAC 2002. Over the last decade, we have witnessed the
emergence of models, formalisms and mechanisms to describe concurrent
and distributed computations and systems based on the concept of
coordination. The purpose of a coordination model is to enable the
integration of a number of possibly heterogeneous components
(processes, objects, agents) in such a way that the resulting ensemble
can execute as a whole, forming a software system with desired
characteristics and functionalities which possibly takes advantage of
parallel and distributed systems. The coordination paradigm is closely
related to other contemporary software engineering approaches such as
component-based systems and middleware platforms. Furthermore, the
concept of coordination exists in many other Computer Science areas
such as Cooperative Information Systems, Distributed Artificial
Intelligence, and Internet Technologies.
The Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications
deliberately takes a broad view of what is coordination: this term
covers here traditional models and languages (e.g., the ones based on
the Shared Dataspace and CHAM metaphors), but also other related
notions and formalisms such as configuration and architectural
description frameworks, models of multi-agent planning, organization
and decision-making, systems modeling abstractions and languages,
programming skeletons, etc.
Correspondingly, in addition to the traditional areas covering data-
driven (such as Linda) and control-driven (such as Manifold) models
and languages, this Special Track aims at putting together
contributions from all the many areas where the concept of coordination
is relevant, such as multi-agent systems, software architectures,
middleware platforms, groupware and workflow management, etc,
providing them with a common forum where to discuss their different
viewpoints and share ideas. On this very subject, it is worth to
remind that the last editions of this Track were undoubtedly successful
under many points of view, but in particular in attracting relevant
and consistent contributions from many different research communities.
According to that, major topics of interest include (but are not
limited to) the following:
* Novel models, languages, programming and implementation techniques
* Applications (especially where the industry is involved)
* Theoretical aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification)
* Coordination of multi-agent systems, including mobile and
intelligent agents
* Software architectures and software engineering techniques
* Configuration and Architecture Description Languages
* Middleware platforms (e.g. CORBA)
* All aspects related to the modeling of Information Systems
(groupware, Internet and the Web, workflow management, CSCW)
* Coordination technologies, systems and infrastructures
* Internet- and Web-based coordinated systems
* Relationship with other computational models such as object
oriented, declarative (functional, logic, constraint) programming
or extensions of them with coordination capabilities
Proceedings and Post-proceedings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Papers accepted for the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages
and Applications will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2002
proceedings and in the Digital Library.
Among the papers accepted and presented at the Track, a further
selection will be performed according to quality and relevance criteria,
to produce a "Special Issue on Coordination and Knowledge Engineering"
of
The Knowledge Engineering Review
http://uk.cambridge.org/journals/ker/
Even though this will not affect paper acceptance to SAC 2002, referees
will be separately asked to express their advice on relevance of papers
to the Special Issue since the first review step. Accordingly, we
encourage potential authors of papers submitted to the Special Track on
Coordination Models, Languages and Applications to take a look to KER's
aims and scope.

Guidelines for Submission
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will
be considered. This includes three categories of submissions: 1)
original and unpublished research; 2) reports of innovative computing
applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, business, government,
education and industry; and 3) reports of successful technology
transfer to new problem domains. Each submitted paper will be fully
refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least three
referees. The accepted papers in all categories will be published in
the ACM SAC 2002 proceedings.
Submission guidelines must be strictly followed:
* Submit your paper *electronically* in either PDF or postscript
format to one of the Track Program Chairmen of the Special Track
on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications (addresses are
shown above). Please *note*: neither hardcopy nor fax submissions
will be accepted. Submissions should be printable on a standard
printer on common paperformats like letter and DIN A4. Please use
a Postscript previewer such as Ghostview to check the portability
of Postscript documents. The acceptable compression formats for
submissions are Zip and Tar.
* The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body
of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person.
This is to facilitate blind review.
* The body of the paper should not exceed 5,000 words (approximately
15 pages, double-spaced).
* A separate cover sheet (in the case of electronic submission this
should be sent separately from the main paper) should show the
title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s),
and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which
correspondence should be sent.
* All submissions must be received by September 1, 2001.
Referees

Subject: JECR CFP "Exchange Relationship in the Digital Economy"
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2001 16:25:03 -0400
From: Lakshmi Iyer <lsiyer(a)UNCG.EDU>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE RESEARCH
(SPECIAL ISSUE, May 2002)
Call for Papers
"Exchange Relationship in the Digital Economy"
The rapid proliferation of Electronic Commerce in the form of B2C, B2B
Marketplaces, C2C (Consumer to Consumer) as well as development and use
of Extranets connecting firms with their partners (suppliers and
customers) has given rise to various forms of exchange relationships in
the digital environment. These exchange relationships are likely to be
of varied duration with some built around a few exchanges over a short
period of time, as in B2C and C2C environment, to some that are built
around exchanges transpiring over a long period of time as in some B2B
Marketplace and through Extranets (with partners).
Understanding the forms of these exchange relationships are crucial to
gaining insight into the types of initiatives and actions that firms
should undertake to maximize the return on their investments in
Electronic Commerce related activities. The initiation, nurturing,
development and maintenance of these various forms of exchange
relationships are complex partly because of the evolving nature of the
underlying technology as well as the complex interaction between what is
afforded by the digital environment and the constraints, limitations and
advantages offered by the traditional market environment. Hence, the
purpose of this call for papers in the Special Issue of the Journal of
Electronic Commerce Research is to invite original research papers
investigating the Exchange Relationships in the Digital Economy.
Possible topics for papers (theoretical or empirical) submitted to the
special issue include but are not limited to:
* Models explicating the various forms of exchange relationship in the
B2C, B2B Marketplaces and in the C2C context
* The forms of exchange relationship possible and afforded by the
digital environment between a firm and its business partners
* Factors such as specific characteristics of B2C, B2B Marketplace, C2C
that may affect the development of some forms of exchange relationship
and not others
* Factors facilitating and determining the formation of these various
types of exchange relationships in the digital environment
* Role of Trust in various forms of exchange relationship in the digital
economy
* Exchange relationships built around collaborative advantage in the
digital environment
* Factors affecting and facilitating the initiation, nurturing,
development and maintenance of various forms of exchange relationship in
the digital environment
* Competitive advantage afforded by these exchange relationships in the
digital environment
* Role of privacy, information security, information sharing, knowledge
transfer and sharing in exchange relationships in the digital
environment

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of the Electronic Commerce Research Journal
on
SECURITY AND TRUST IN ELECTRONIC COMMERCE
Guest Editors
Peter Herrmann, University of Dortmund, Germany

Scope & Topics
The dramatic changes in telecommunications and computing technology as
evidenced
in the Internet and WWW have sparked a revolution in electronic commerce. In
fact, many organisations are exploiting the opportunities of Internet-based
e-commerce solutions, and many more are expected to follow. But in spite of
the
well-published success stories, many businesses and consumers are cautious
about
e-commerce, and security concerns are often cited as being the most
important
barrier.
This special issue of the Electronic Commerce Research Journal is devoted to
the
theory and applications of security and trust in electronic commerce. Topics
for
submission include but are not limited to:
risk assessment and reduction in e-commerce systems
privacy issues
legal aspects and law enforcement
ethical aspects
trust aspects and management
digital signature applications
encryption in e-commerce systems
information flow issues
COTS protection
firewall technology
administration and management of safe-guards
virtual private networks
authorization and access control models
mechanisms for guaranteeing non-repudiation
secure electronic markets
