CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th International Workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV 2004) June 16-18, 2004 --- Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland http://www.nossdav.org/2004/ NOSSDAV 2004 will take place in Kinsale on the exceptionally scenic southern coast of Ireland. Kinsale is approximatly a 20 minute drive outside Cork city, which is within easy reach of major European capitals and the east coast of the US. The workshop is sponsored by ACM SIG Multimedia (preliminary approval), Microsoft Research and Science Foundation Ireland, and is in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM (preliminary approval). NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia, but strongly encourages submissions in newly emerging specialized areas such as networked games and peer-to-peer streaming. NOSSDAV 2004 will be run very much as a workshop with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and lively discussion. Papers grounded in high-quality experimental research based on prototype or real systems, including innovative experimental commercial designs and prototypes, as well as papers proposing new research directions for the community or calling into question existing conventional wisdom are particularly welcome. ***Student participation is strongly encouraged*** - supported by several student travel grants and registration fee rebates. Submissions should be no longer than 6 pages. The expectation is that papers accepted at the workshop will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Networked games * Peer-to-peer multimedia * Broadband streaming media content distribution * 3D multimedia and (networked) immersive environments * Wireless and ad-hoc network multimedia systems * Embedded multimedia devices (e.g., PVRs) * Multimedia security * Internet telephony * Sensory interactive applications * Digital rights management Deadlines: Paper registration deadline - February 23, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Paper submission deadline - March 1, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Program Co-Chairs: Venkat Padmanabhan, Microsoft Research (USA) Cormac Sreenan, University College Cork (Ireland) Email: nossdav2004-pcchairs(a)cs.ucc.ie Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, UC Santa Barbara (USA) Ernst Biersack, EUROCOM (France) Phil Chou, Microsoft Research (USA) Christophe Diot, Intel Research (UK) Kevin Jeffay, UNC Chapel Hill (USA) Srinivasan Keshav, University of Waterloo (Canada) Sue Moon, KAIST (Korea) Reza Rejaie, University of Oregon (USA) Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University (USA) Srinivasan Seshan, CMU (USA) Anees Shaikh, IBM Research (USA) Lars Wolf, TU Braunschweig (Germany)

Information becomes ubiquitous, highly distributed and at the same time accessible from everywhere at any time. Information access takes place in highly dynamic and instable networks. Nevertheless, users and application developers will expect information processing to continue under similar guarantees as those offered by today's stationary and more or less centralized systems, even if some nodes of the pervasive information network are (temporarily) disconnected and/or are in motion. Examples for these guarantees are the ones given by database management systems, e.g., consistency and durability of data. Additional challenges stem from the fact that mobile devices, in particular embedded devices and sensors, are less powerful than their stationary counterparts; they are smaller (resulting, e.g., in smaller in- and output devices and less available storage), have restricted energy supplies and communicate via expensive and unreliable wireless communication media. This workshop aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing ideas, challenges, and opportunities for data management and data access technology in pervasive information systems. New and existing concepts and techniques shall be considered in the light of the rapidly increasing mobility of users and the great advances in system infrastructures, mobile devices, and sensor technologies. Research papers presenting theoretical results, perspective solutions, and practical developments are welcome. Position papers are also welcome and encouraged. TOPICS - Modelling location and mobility semantics - Infrastructure support for mobility - Mobility awareness and adaptability - Location-dependent, context-based querying - Designing location-aware, context-aware services - Discovery and composition of ubiquitous services - Tracking moving objects and mobile users - Mobile sensor and stream data management - Continuous querying and data stream processing - Mobile data dissemination and delivery - Mobile data replication and synchronization - Self-organizing, self-tuning components - Information usage in ad-hoc networks - Pervasive transactional / workflow processing - Quality of service for pervasive computing systems - Mobile access and advanced user interfaces - Security and privacy in ubiquitous systems PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted papers must be unpublished and not exceed 12 pages strictly following Springer's LNCS style. LNCS formatting guidelines and templates can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Authors shall submit their papers electronically to tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch before January 9, 2004. PDF format is preferred, but postscript format is also acceptable. Accepted papers will be published in the informal workshop proceedings. Selected papers will appear in the post-proceedings, which most probably will be published in the LNCS series of Springer. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present their work.
