Technical Committees

Computer Communications (TCCC)
Home Page
The TC on Computer Communications (TCCC) promotes activities, disseminates information, and furthers the growth of those systems that integrate computing functions and telecommunications facilities. The TC sponsors the "802" series of local and metropolitan area networks standards. It also annually sponsors the society's Conference on Local Computer Networks and the Computer Networking Symposium. In addition, it is a sponsor of the biennial Data Communications Symposium.

 

Conferences

ACM/IEEE Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications Systems
ANCS is a research conference that focuses on the architecture and design of hardware and software for modern communication networks. The combination of increasing network bandwidth and expanding functionality pose continuing and growing challenges for system designers. New technology elements, including network processors, content addressable memories, configurable logic and special-purpose components offer new opportunities for meeting these challenges, but also raise a variety of new issues. ANCS focuses on networking and communication in the broad sense, including novel architectures, architectural support for advanced communications systems, algorithms and protocols for advanced architectures, software and applications for next-generation networking architectures, and methodology and benchmarking for evaluating advanced communication architectures. Our emphasis this year will be on hardware and software elements in the context of systems that enable networks to evolve and scale.

Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications
The tremendous advances in wireless communications and mobile computing, combined with the rapid evolution in smart appliances and devices, generates new challenges and problems requiring interactions between different network layers and applications in order to offer advanced mobile services. We invite researchers, practitioners and others interested in wireless communications, mobile networking and ubiquitous computing to participate in the third IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2007) to be held in White Plains, New York, USA, on October 9-10, 2007.

Sixth Annual IEEE International Conferene on Pervasive Computing and Communications
IEEE PerCom 2008 will be the sixth annual conference on the emerging area of pervasive computing and communications aimed at providing an exciting platform and paradigm for all the time, everywhere services. This emergence is a natural outcome of the tremendous advances in wireless networks, mobile computing, sensor networks, distributed computing, and agent technologies. PerCom 2008 will provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and engineers alike to present their latest research in the field of pervasive computing and communications. In addition to the technical papers, PerCom 2008 will also feature several workshops, a demonstrations session, keynotes and panel discussions. Contributions are solicited in all areas of pervasive computing research and applications.

 

Magazines


IEEE Pervasive Computing delivers the latest peer-reviewed developments in pervasive, mobile, and ubiquitous computing to developers, researchers, and educators who want to keep abreast of rapid technology change. With content that's accessible and useful today, the quarterly publication acts as a catalyst for realizing the vision of pervasive (or ubiquitous) computing, described by Mark Weiser nearly a decade ago. The essence of this vision is the creation of environments saturated with computing and wireless communication, yet gracefully integrated with human users. Many key building blocks needed for this vision are now viable commercial technologies: wearable and handheld computers, high bandwidth wireless communication, location sensing mechanisms, and so on. The challenge is to combine these technologies into a seamless whole. This will require a multidisciplinary approach, involving hardware designers, wireless engineers, human-computer interaction specialists, software agent developers, and so on.


IEEE Distributed Systems Online aims to promote professional awareness of developments, trends, activities, and editorial coverage in the distributed systems field and provide online support for Internet Computing and Pervasive Computing. IEEE DS Online hopes to serve as a springboard for building a stronger distributed systems community and offer researchers, students, educators, application developers, and program managers a forum for sharing ideas and discussing projects.

Books

Communication and computer Networks Modelling with Discrete-Time Queues
Presents a unified approach to developing accurate discrete-time models of communication and computer networks, using discrete-time queuing theory and approximation techniques to obtain solutions. The first chapter outlines the basic aims and philosophy of the book and introduces discrete-time queues at the simplest possible level. The chapters that follow cover probability theory and discrete-time Markov chains, delve into discrete-time queues and queuing networks, and focus on applications for satellite and local area networks. In addition, the book gives examples of specific modeling techniques, and covers handling statistically different users, finite channel delays, timing delays, and unsolvable traffic equations.
