The optimal placement/deployment of e.g. UMTS, IEEE 802.16 WiMAX base stations or IEEE 802.11 WLAN access points is based on user distribution and traffic characteristics in the service area. In this paper, the authors focus on the tradeoff between the accuracy and the complexity of the mathematical models used to describe user movements in the network. The authors propose a novel Markov chain based model capable of utilizing user�s movement history. This article analyzes the complexity of the proposed model and justifies the accuracy by means of simulation.

P. Sebastian, National Institute of Technology Calicut, India Nodes are expected to transmit at different power levels in heterogeneous mobile adhoc networks, thus leading to communication links of different length. Conventional MAC protocols that unconditionally presume that links are bi-directional and with unvarying energy distribution may not succeed or execute badly under such circumstances. Interference and signal loss resulting out of distance and fading diminish the entire throughput attained in heterogeneous networks to a greater extent. This article presents a MAC protocol, which adaptively transmits data frames using either the energy efficient nodes or a list of high data rate assistant nodes. In addition, a cross-layer based energy level on-demand routing protocol that adaptively regulates the transmission rate on basis of congestion is projected.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP : IEEE CCNC DRM 2010 Workshop Datum: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 12:24:57 -0400 Von: Jean-Henry Morin <Jean-Henry.Morin(a)unige.ch> Antwort an: Jean-Henry Morin <Jean-Henry.Morin(a)unige.ch> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers 6th IEEE International Workshop on Digital Rights Management 13th January, 2010, Las Vegas, Nevada http://drm.unige.ch/ Satellite Workshop of 7th IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (IEEE CCNC 2010) OVERVIEW Consumers and consumer electronics are increasingly using the Internet for distribution of digital goods, including digital versions of books, articles, music, video, games, software and images. Organizations are also increasingly concerned with information protection and control within and beyond the corporate perimeter for reasons including traceability, compliance, accountability and persistent management of intangible assets. The ease with which digital goods can be copied and redistributed makes the Internet well suited for unauthorized copying, modification and redistribution. The rapid adoption of new technologies such as high-bandwidth connections, wireless networks, and peer-to-peer networks is accelerating this process. This one-day workshop on Digital Rights Management addresses problems faced by all stakeholders in this ecosystem including rights owners � who seek to protect their intellectual property rights, develop innovative business models and end consumers / users � who seek to protect their privacy, enjoy a good user experience and preserve access they benefit from using traditional media. Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems are intended to protect the rights of content owners in scenarios in which the participants often have conflicting goals and interests. This adversarial situation introduces interesting new twists on classical problems studied in cryptology and security research, such as key management and access control. Furthermore, novel security mechanisms and innovative designs can enable new business models and applications. The workshop format will be highly interactive, based on a series of presentations held in a panel/forum type of environment to encourage discussion of topics and issues. TOPICS The workshop seeks submissions (consisting of a paper) on all theoretical and practical aspects of DRM, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems on topics including, but not limited to, those shown below: � DRM protocols � architectures for DRM systems � interoperability � auditing � business models for online content distribution � copyright-law issues, including but not limited to fair use � digital policy management � information ownership � privacy and anonymity � risk management � web services � robust identification of digital content � security issues, including but not limited to authorization, encryption, tamper resistance, and watermarking � threat and vulnerability assessment � usability aspects of DRM systems, including but not limited to user acceptance and awareness � societal and public policy issues � implementations and case studies WORKSHOP CHAIRS Xin Wang, ContentGuard, Inc., USA Jean-Henry Morin, University of Geneva, Switzerland David Llewellyn-Jones, Liverpool John Moores University, UK AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES Accepted workshop papers will be published in the IEEE CCNC proceedings. For author instructions, submission guidelines and additional up-to-date information, please visit the workshop website: http://drm.unige.ch/ IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: Sept 1, 2009 Author notification: Sept 28, 2009 Camera ready papers: Oct 15, 2009 Registration due: Oct 15, 2009 Workshop: Jan 13, 2010 The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] TERMIN: Sonderheft "High Impact Requirements Engineering" der "Wirtschaftsinformatik" Datum: Wed, 08 Jul 2009 19:14:02 +0200 Von: Prof. Dr. M. Jarke <jarke(a)dbis.rwth-aachen.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Liebe Kollegen, Gemeinsam mit Kalle Lyytinen (Case Western University, Cleveland) gebe ich ein Sonderheft der Zeitschrift "Wirtschaftsinformatik" heraus, das sich unter dem Titel "High-Impact Requirements Engineering" mit Herausforderungen und Lösungen für die RE-Probleme des 21. Jahrhunderts befasst. Der komplette Call for Papers ist unten angehängt. Beiträge in deutscher oder englischer Sprache werden bis 1.8.2009 erbeten, gern auch elektronisch als pdf. Angenommene Beiträge werden zweisprachig in beiden Versionen der Zeitschrift publiziert, die bekanntlich schon in ihrer rein deutschsprachigen Version den höchsten Impact-Factor der deutschsprachigen Informatik-Zeitschriften hatte. Über spannende Beiträge würden wir uns freuen Matthias Jarke und Kalle Lyytinen Gast-Herausgeber, WI-Sonderheft "High-Impact Requirements Engineering" ========================== Call for Papers Heft 3/2010 High-Impact Requirements Engineering Nach wie vor scheitern zahlreiche softwareintensive Systeme an Mängeln in der Anforderungsanalyse und im kontinuierlichen Management der identifizierten Anforderungen. Empirische Studien zeigen, dass sich die klassischen semiformellen Methoden einschließlich eines gewissen Maßes an Validierung mittlerweile durchgesetzt haben. In kritischen Bereichen werden teilweise auch formale Methoden verwendet, allerdings nur insoweit, als dafür Analyse- und Testwerkzeuge vorhanden sind. Viele Firmen verwenden zur Validierung bewusst multiple Methoden zur Erfassung und Analyse, auch eine risikogetriebene Definition von Ausbaustufen wird zunehmend Standard, wenn dies nicht durch Prestigedenken vor allem in öffentlichen Großprojekten verhindert wird. Die klassischen Entwicklungsmethoden bezogen sich auf individuelle Großprojekte und sind dem komplexen Kontext heutiger und zukünftiger Systemlandschaften mit schnellen Marktveränderungen kaum noch angemessen. Aus Sicht der Geschäftsleitung stehen Fragen der Einordnung von Anforderungen in die Geschäftsprozesse, aber auch der Systemverantwortung im Vordergrund; internationale Standards sowie Plattformstrategien spielen hier ebenso eine Rolle wie rechtliche und ökonomische Aspekte. Aus informatischer Sicht verlagert sich der Fokus von der Neuentwicklung immer weiter auf die Systemintegration auf Basis von Standard-Softwarediensten und auf fluide Entwicklungsprozesse, welche dynamisch auf die sich ständig verändernden Anforderungen reagieren. Aus Nutzersicht steht gerade wegen der Vielfalt unterschiedlicher Systeme eine durchgängige transparente Nutzung im Vordergrund, aber auch eine geschickte Organisation der vielfältigen Anforderungen unterschiedlicher Stakeholdergruppen. Aus technischer Sicht schließlich ist der Zuwachs an mobilen und eingebetteten Systemen in zahlreichen Anwendungen Herausforderung und Chance zugleich, insbesondere weil die damit verbundene Sensorik ein teilautomatisches Monitoring der laufenden Systeme auf der Ebene der Anforderungen erlaubt. Im Schwerpunktthema "High-Impact Requirements Engineering" sollen Problemanalysen und innovative Lösungen für die angesprochenen Probleme zusammengestellt werden, die in ihrer Gesamtheit dazu beitragen, die Durchschlagskraft des Requirements Engineering als eine Methodik für anforderungsgetriebene Gestaltung und anforderungsgerechten Betrieb softwareintensiver Systeme und Systemlandschaften wesentlich zu erhöhen. Beiträge aus Forschung und Praxis sind u. a. zu folgenden (gerne auch weiteren) Themenfeldern erwünscht: * Anforderungsmanagement und Geschäftsprozesse (firmenintern, übergreifend, Interaktion mit öffentlichem Bereich), Ownership von Anforderungen * Einfluss von Produkt- und Prozessvarianten, Plattformstrategien * Anforderungsmanagement, Systemarchitekturen und Systemlandschaften * Rechtliche, ökonomische und soziale Aspekte des Anforderungsmanagements * Bezüge zwischen Anforderungsmanagement, Marktforschung und Industrial Design * Strukturierung der Anforderungen großer, heterogener Benutzergruppen * Benutzergetriebene Systementwicklung (end-user development) * Anforderungsmanagement in Open-Source-Communitys * Anforderungsmanagement in der internationalen Softwareentwicklung (Outsourcing, Offshoring) * Laufzeitmonitoring von Anforderungen * Änderungsmanagement und Traceability * Zielorientiertes Anforderungsmanagement * Neue Modellierungsmethoden für das Anforderungsmanagement * Management von Komplexität und Dynamik von Anforderungen * Werkzeuge für das Anforderungsmanagement * Praxisfallstudien Einreichung von Beiträgen Bitte senden Sie Beiträge bis spätestens 2009-08-01 an Prof. Dr. Matthias Jarke (jarke(a)dbis.rwth-aachen.de). Bitte beachten Sie die Hinweise zu formaler Gestaltung und Umfang von Beiträgen für die WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK. Beiträge sollten höchstens 10 Druckseiten umfassen; das entspricht 50.000 Zeichen einschließlich Leerzeichen, abzüglich 5.000 Zeichen je Seite an Bildern. Beiträge sollten in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst sein und als *.doc- oder *.rtf-Dokumente eingereicht werden. Eingereichte Beiträge werden anonymisiert von mehreren Gutachtern in einem doppelt-blinden Verfahren auf Relevanz, Originalität und fachliche Qualität beurteilt. Neben den Herausgebern des Schwerpunktthemas und jenen der Zeitschrift WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK wirken dabei weitere ausgewiesene internationale Persönlichkeiten aus Wissenschaft und Praxis mit. Ergänzend zu den Aufsätzen sind auch Beiträge zum Schwerpunktthema für andere Rubriken der Zeitschrift willkommen, z. B. für WI State of the Art, WI Schlagwort und WI Interview.

[Fwd: [isworld] CFC Electronic Business Interoperability]
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Jul '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFC Electronic Business Interoperability Datum: Mon, 06 Jul 2009 21:12:28 +0200 Von: Ejub Kajan <eja(a)bankerinter.net> Antwort an: Ejub Kajan <eja(a)bankerinter.net> Organisation: vsps An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: October 15, 2009 Electronic Business Interoperability: Concepts, Opportunities, and Challenges A book edited by Dr. Ejub Kajan State University of Novi Pazar, Serbia To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=681 Introduction Recently, the new expansion of EC is taking place, especially in the form of B2B. The main goal of B2B is to provide business entities with the ability to establish business relationships in such a manner that their public business processes may interact with each other exchanging their data. In a business scenario, business entities are usually loosely coupled; that means business processes require ad hoc integration from time to time. Such integration on demand may experience many conflicts. Problems arise due to the huge heterogeneity between business processes and data involved, which are both different by nature on the one side and on the other side between underlying IT technologies, which are different by default. Many efforts have been devoted to overcoming interoperability problems of any kind, but they have not reached their promise yet. Instead of unlimited interoperability inside and between business entities, the result was too many mutually incompatible “standards” that formed isolated areas of e-business seeking for new investments over and over again. Recent research efforts are looking very promising. They are concentrating on two big goals: to provide middleware technologies and frameworks which are capable to act as self-acting dynamic artifacts at the time of invocation and to provide necessary semantic understanding between peers of any kind. Despite well-defined goals and recent results, the whole thing is still under development. At the same time, the problem of security of such potentially very open platforms has been raised. The security requirements for B2B transactions are very rigorous. There is a need to protect business data before, after, and during the transactions on the transmission line. Many times, the business process occurs between two partners who have no trust in each other or there is a third party in a transaction. What about semantic ad hoc frameworks, how to protect data and business processes in a wide-open knowledgeable machine readable environment where many cooperative processes are taking place with no human intervention. That is a big issue of the security of intelligent frameworks we are going to build. Objective of the Book This book is will aim to analyze and overview main obstacles, to give critical assessment on existing approaches, and to show recent research efforts in order to overcome interoperability problems in electronic business. It will serve as a source of knowledge for researchers, educators, students, and industry practitioners to share and exchange their most current research findings, ideas, practices, challenges, and opportunities concerning electronic business interoperability. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of researchers, teachers, undergraduate and PhD students in various e-business programs. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Topics of this book will address technologies, theories, issues, opportunities, and challenges of e–business interoperability. 1. Heterogeneity issues • Data • Business processes • Electronic catalogs • Classification schemas • Different existing middleware frameworks inside and between enterprises 2. Enabling technologies • Experiences with earlier generations of middleware technologies • Web services • Mediator/wrapper technologies • Semantic Web • Ontologies in electronic business • Ontology development, representation, and alignment 3. Enabling frameworks • Critical assessment of existing frameworks • Web services based frameworks • Ontology-based frameworks • Intelligent dynamic frameworks 4. Security of e-business frameworks • Attack analysis • Security on the communication layer of interoperability • Security on the syntax layer • Security on the semantic layer Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before October 15, 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by October 30, 2009 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by December 30, 2009. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
