Student grants available, courtesy NSF, Cisco, Thomson Message-ID: ============================================== CALL FOR PAPERS CoNEXT 2007 Student Workshop Columbia University, New York, USA http://edas.info/W.php?page=21 IMPORTANT : Student grants, courtesy NSF, Cisco and Thomson, are available to attend the CoNEXT 2007 workshop and conference. =============================================== The CoNEXT 2007 Student Workshop, following in the footsteps of the well received CoNEXT'06 Student Workshop, aims to provide a platform for graduate students in the areas of computer networks and data communication to publicize their ongoing research work through posters, obtain feedback and learn what problems are being tackled by fellow students. More importantly, it also provides a venue for them to "network" with their peers and established network researchers, obtain valuable guidance tips in the form of informative panels and participate in a forum designed specifically to benefit graduate students. We invite submission of 1-2 page abstracts from graduate students worldwide describing their ongoing research work for potential presentation at the CoNEXT 2007 Student Workshop. As always, research work that addressses "non-standard/controversial" problems and approaches are particularly encouraged (even if they are only in a nascent stage). Selected abstracts will appear in the CoNEXT 2007 proceedings and the related posters displayed in the workshop program. IMPORTANT : Several student travel grants, courtesy of NSF, Cisco and Thomson, will be provided to selected candidates to attend the CoNEXT 2007 Student Workshop and main conference in New York.

We had 544 attendes from 32 countries, and a fantastic time in Kyoto, and now look forward to next year in Seattle. For those who attended, we would appreciate your taking the time to give us some feedback to help make future Sigcomms even better. As an incentive, we will select two responders at random, who will each receive an Apple iPod Nano* http://www.postel.org/sigcomm/form2007.html Please see the information and rules below. We look forward to your feedback. Please contact me if you have any questions that the form does not answer, or have any problems using the form. Joe Touch ACM Sigcomm Conference Coordinator Emeritus ------ Info: * ACM Sigcomm will award two $200 USD gift certificates at the Apple Store or Apple iTunes Store (recipient's choice), which can be redeemed for an Apple iPod Nano ($199) or applied towards any purchase there desired. Awardees will be selected at random from valid responses (see below) on October 1, 2007, and notified by email. Rules: Members of the ACM Sigcomm Executive Committee are not eligible. You may fill out the form multiple times, but doing so will not increase your chances. Each attendee can win at most once. To be eligible, you must fill out the form to a reasonable extent (we're not getting picky, but please don't just enter your email address and click "Submit"), you must submit your email address where requested, and that address must match our Sigcomm 2007 registration attendee list. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <46F213CF.9070705@thomson.net> This is to remind you that CCR is offering a unique opportunity to publish short articles (up to 4 pages) in a very short time period (less than 3 months). These articles are called "editorial notes" and can be workshop summaries, interviews, position papers, technical argument, personal view, etc. They are not reviewed ; but they are sanity checked to avoid personal rant and/or commercial ads. Please go to CCR Online (http://www.sigcomm.org/ccr/drupal/) to view previously published article in this column, and send us your contribution! It would appear in the january issue of CCR! See CCR web for details (http://www.sigcomm.org/ccr/CCR-author-info.html).

That's part of a sanity check for me. I should have said that. However, I'm not saying that it is what happened to your paper. The process is still new and we are still adjusting it.

ACM SenSys 2007: Call for Participation The 5th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems November 6-9, 2007 Sydney, Australia http://sensys.acm.org/2007/ ============================================================ Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGOPS, SIGMETRICS and SIGBED. The 5th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) is a highly selective, single-track forum for the presentation of research results on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked sensors. Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators with embedded computation capabilities enable an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, thus enabling a new generation of monitoring and control applications. This conference will provide an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, distributed systems, data management, and applications, the papers will cover cross-disciplinary work. *Keynote Speaker*: Wednesday, 7 November 2007 Seth Goldstein (CMU), "On the Path Towards Programmable Matter" *Workshops*: Tuesday, 6 November 2007 This year two workshops on current emerging topics in sensor networks will be held in conjunction with SenSys. In addition, there is a Doctoral colloquium. SenseID: Convergence of RFID and Wireless Sensor Networks and their Applications Sensing on Everyday Mobile Phones in Support of Participatory Research SenSys Doctoral Colloquium *"Soap Box" Talks*: A series of 5 minute talks providing strong, controversial, and/or outrageous opinions on a topic within the scope of SenSys, e.g., direction the field should/should not take, future predictions, etc. *SenSys 2007 Organizing Committee:* General Chair: Sanjay Jha (U.
