From both at bothom.de Wed Jun 13 16:50:22 2007 From: both at bothom.de (Thomas Michael Bohnert) Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 00:50:22 +0100 Subject: [Tmrg-interest] CFP: 2nd IEEE WORKSHOP ON BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS (BWA) Message-ID: <200706140050.22558.both@bothom.de> "Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies." ************************************************************************ 2nd IEEE WORKSHOP ON BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS (BWA) (website will be online soon) colocated with 5th IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference IEEE CCNC 2008, January 2008, Las Vegas, Nevada http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/ ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Internet access is undergoing a fundamental change. A steadily increasing spectrum of services is attracting a rapidly growing number of users which, in turn, wish to access these services 'anytime and anywhere'. In order to meet this demand, Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technologies are becoming extremely important and vendors and standardisation bodies respond to this development with new and powerful BWA technologies. Supporting transmission rates up to several megabits per second at distances far as tens of kilometres while providing full mobility support, these technologies provide the long-awaited means for delivering any telecommunication service over the Internet. BWA technologies are yet in their infancy and one outcome is that many are far from being complete and optimised for such a versatile environment like the Internet. Consequently, BWA is currently receiving much attention by the research community. By organising this 2nd IEEE BWA Workshop, it is our intention to bring together and provide an international forum for this research community. In this line, the workshop programme covers various aspects of these technologies including but not limited to: - Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks - Incumbent and future BWA Technologies, 802.16x, 802.20, 802.11x, 3G/4G etc - QoS in Mobile and BWA Networks - Radio Resource Management, Admission Control and Scheduling - Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering - Physical and Data link Layer Issues - Characterization, Modeling of BWA Traffic, Mobility and Channels - Large-scale and Heterogeneous BWA Evaluations - Spectrum Management - Interoperability Aspects (fixed/mobile LANs/MANs, WANs) - Vertical and Horizontal Integration - Micro and Macromobility Management - Wireless Applications Support - Cross-layer Optimisation Approaches - Experimental Evaluation of Cross-layer Interactions - Wireless Network Management - (W)NGN Architectures and Trends - Design and Evaluation of Testbeds - Experiences/lessons from recent deployments PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Please see the Author Information page for submission guidelines in the CCNC website. The paper should be used as the basis for a 20-30 minute workshop presentation. Papers should be submitted in a .pdf or .ps format by selecting CCNC'08 at the EDAS paper submission website EDAS and then selecting the workshop submission link. A separate cover sheet 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 the correspondence should be sent. All submitted papers will be reviewed by up to three experts and if accepted, published in the conference proceedings, which will be available at IEEEeXplore and registered in Engineering Index (EI). At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: 29 July 2007 Author Notification: 14 September 2007 Camera-ready Copy: 5 October 2007 Author Registration Deadline: 10 October 2007 Workshop date: 12 January 2008 GENERAL CHAIRS Thomas Michael Bohnert, University of Coimbra, PT Dmitri Moltchanov, Tampere University of Technology, FI TPC CHAIR Dirk Staehle, University of Wuerzburg, DE PUBLICITY CHAIRS Yevgeni Koucheryavy, Tampere University of Technology, FI Edmundo Monteiro, University of Coimbra, PT TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Alexandre Fonte, Polytechnical Institute of Castelo Branco, PT Cedric Westphal, Nokia Siemens Research Center, US Eckhart Koerner, University of Applied Sciences Mannheim, DE Eugen Borcoci, University Politehnica of Bucharest, RO Francis Lee Bu Sung, Nanyang Technological University, SG Francisco Barcelo-Arroyo, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, ES Gabor Fodor, Ericsson Research, SE Geng-Sheng Kuo, Beijing University of Post and Telecommunication, PRC Georgios Paschos, University of Patras, GR Geert Heijenk, University of Twente, NL Giovanni Giambene, University of Siena, IT Jorge S?

Please send agenda requests to the ADs. We have not received any requests for agenda time. If you would like a slot, please reply by June 26 at the latest. (In the absence of agenda requests, we'll not meet.) The purpose of the TSVAREA meeting is to inform about and discuss important issues, developments and work within the transport area or outside work that impacts the transport area. In contrast to TSVWG, TSVAREA does not produce any documents. TSVAREA can include tutorial- style talks on tranport topics, maybe based on related IRTF or other research work. Again, we encourage relevant presentations from both within the transport area and from outside parties, such as other IETF WGs or the IRTF.

This review raises two issues (see [Issue x] below) that should be resolved prior to proceeding with publication. This document is very well written. I found the text to be clear, concise, direct and very comprehensible. Where the text gets specific, there is ample reference to other detailed explanations. Any researcher entering this field for the first time would find this document very accessible and an excellent introduction to the area. The document has had ample technical review in the research group. Previous editions of this document and their publication dates: 00 August 2005 01 October 2005 02 June 2006 03 June 2006 04 August 2006 05 November 2006 06 December 2006 07 February 2007 08 March 2007 09 March 2007 There is a change log included in the document that is two full pages and includes the names of the many contributors. The acknowledgments section also highlights the breadth of contribution and review that the document has received, with 17 individuals listed. Section 5.1 requirements: * There must be a statement in the abstract identifying it as the product of the RG Present * There must be a paragraph near the beginning (for example, in the introduction) describing the level of support for publication. Example text might read: "this document represents the consensus of the FOOBAR RG" or "the views in this document were considered controversial by the FOOBAR RG but the RG reached a consensus that the document should still be published". [Issue 1] Present in the abstract. This text should be replicated into the body of the document. Replacing the last paragraph of the introduction with a copy of the last paragraph from the abstract should suffice. * The breadth of review the document has received must also be noted. For example, was this document read by all the active contributors, only three people, or folks who are not "in" the RG but are expert in the area? It is clear from the number of contributors that the document was widely read. * It must also be very clear throughout the document that it is not an IETF product and is not a standard. This is as clear as can be expressed within the context of an Internet draft. It should be noted that Internet drafts necessarily have a substantial amount of IETF boilerplate. * If an experimental protocol is described, appropriate usage caveats must be present. No protocol is described. * If the protocol has been considered in an IETF working group in the past, this must be noted in the introduction as well. No protocol is described. * There should be citations and references to relevant research publications. The references fill 4.5 pages and are frequently cited throughout the text. Not being a subject matter expert, I am not prepared to judge their relevancy. [Issue 2] It should be noted that as of the time of this review, several of the references are now outdated. These can easily be found through the idnits tool. These should be updated before publication. Tony Li co-chair, Routing Research Group
