ALL CALL FOR PAPERS OF THE 5 QSHINE 2007 WORKSHOPS
IWSTI'07
INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SATELLITE/TERRESTRIAL INTERWORKING (IWSTI'07)
14 August 2007, Vancouver, British Columbia
To be held jointly with the Fourth International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness (QShine 2007) http://www.qshine.org/ <http://www.qshine.org/>
SCOPE
The International Workshop on Satellite Terrestrial Interworking Networking (IWSTI'07) will be, held in conjunction with the Fourth International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness (QShine 2007).
This workshop is devoted to cover different aspects of related to issues involved in the design and operation of satellite/terrestrial integrated networks. The objective is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the form of technical papers.
DESCRIPTION
The convergence of mobile and Internet technologies is now driving the development of systems capable of supporting multimedia and interactive services previously available only to fixed users. The provision of a range of new multimedia services in an efficient, secure, and cost-effective environment can only be accomplished by integration of networks, specifically integration of terrestrial and satellite networks. Indeed, one of the major strength of satellites is their inherent capability of wide coverage to reach large audiences spread over wide and/or remote areas where it is not economical to deploy terrestrial infrastructures.
Satellite-based communications to mobile users suffer from is shadowing effects but effective solutions can be devised by considering for instance terminal local cache, or an architecture involving gap-fillers or intermediate module repeaters (IMRs) transmitting the signals terrestrially to allow in building and urban area penetration.
In the access network, satellite systems have the flexibility to support a range of multimedia services and deliver these to large number of terminals economically and there is need for integration with terrestrial systems.
Finally, users do not want multiple terminals which requires the satellite service to be compatible with the terrestrial services. This is the cooperative service delivery approach in which the various service types are integrated into a single terminal. Adopting compatible standards will allow cheaper equipment and flexible offering by operators.
Therefore, the future of satellite is very much in an integrated architecture with terrestrial systems to provide multimedia services, be they mobile or fixed systems.

- Hybrid Satellite and Terrestrial Networks Architectures

WiN-ITS 2007
The First International Workshop on Wireless Networking
for Intelligent Transportation Systems (WiN-ITS 2007)
http://www.winits.org/
In conjunction with QShine 2007, August 14-17
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Keynotes by: Dr. Victor Bahl, Prof. P. R. Kumar, and Prof. Kang G. Shin
****** Paper Submission Deadline Extended to: May 15, 2007 ******

Scope
-----
Recent advances in the wireless communications and networking
technologies will significantly impact the design of automobiles to
make automobile operations safer and more efficient, and thereby,
result in significant progress in the evolution of Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS). The Dedicated Short Range Communications
(DSRC) band has been allocated in the USA at 5.9 GHz for vehicle-to-
roadside (V2R) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, while the
IEEE 802.11p working group is developing enhancements of 802.11
standards to support ITS, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs),
vehicular telematics, and infotainment applications. It is anticipated
that a single wireless access technology may not suit the needs of all
vehicular communication applications, and a heterogeneous wireless
networking platform needs to be developed and optimized. Numerous
exciting research challenges exist for designing wireless networking
protocols for vehicular communication applications. Significant
advancements in these research areas are expected in near future.
The objectives of this workshop are to discuss the challenges in
designing wireless networking protocols for vehicular networks and
ITS, different ITS applications and services based on wireless
communications and networking technologies, and present the recent
advances in these areas.
With the objective and a very timely topic, the workshop is expected
to attract lot of interest from the researchers in the area of
wireless communication networks as well as from ITS designers and
planners.
The technical issues which will be addressed in this workshop include
- Vehicular wireless communications applications and services for
ITS
- Vehicular telematics based on emerging wireless technologies
- Multimedia content distribution in vehicular networks
- Architectures for V2R communications
- Heterogeneous wireless network architecture for V2V and V2R
communications
- Physical, medium access control , radio link, and routing protocols
- Cross-layer wireless protocol analysis, design, and optimization for
vehicular networks
- Cognitive radio protocols for vehicular networks
- Security protocols for vehicular networks
- Privacy issues in vehicular networks
- Vehicular network management
- Performance modeling and simulation
- Field experiments and test-bed results
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference
Proceedings Series and will be made available in ACM Digital Library,
as well as indexed by EI and ISI Index.
