[Fwd: [Tccc] reminder on special feature topic for IEEE Comm Magazine]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] reminder on special feature topic for IEEE Comm Magazine Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 10:04:19 -0500 From: Chuah, Mooi Choo (Mooi) <chuah(a)lucent.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers Supporting Multimedia Multicast/Broadcast Services in 3G/4G Networks Special Feature Topic of IEEE Communication Magazine Motivation Current 3G system provides point to point service. There is a strong interest to provide multimedia broadcast/multicast service over 3G network. Such multicast services allow unidirectional point-to-multipoint transmission of multimedia data (e.g. text, audio, picture, video) from a single source point to a multicast group in a multicast area. An example of a service using the multicast mode could be a football results service for which a subscription is required. Work has started in 3GPP and 3GPP2 to investigate how to enhance 3G system to provide multicast service. Many design issues need to be worked out before multicast services can be deployed in 3G systems. For an example, questions like how the 3G system admits multicast services, how the radio access network selects between the use of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio bearers to deliver MBMS services, how the network alert MBMS subscribed users on the availability of MBMS streams. Mobility management of MBMS users need to be considered too. Handoffs from one cell/Radio Network Controller to another need to be fast such that packet losses for MBMS streams are acceptable. Since users are expected to be charged for such multicast issues, authentication and security issues related to MBMS needs to be worked out. Scope In response to the above momentum, this special issue aims at providing a timely and concise update of the current activities and findings in this area. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these services. In this context, papers are solicited reporting on representative topics such as: * Enhanced 3G architecture design for MBMS services * Radio resource management strategies for MBMS services * Paging Strategy for MBMS services * Overlay WLAN/3G architecture for providing MBMS services * Airlink Scheduling for MBMS services * Power control issues for MBMS services * Security/Authentication Issues for MBMS services * Performance Studies All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Communication Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. Please submit your electronic manuscript in word or pdf format to one of the guest editors by June 30th, 2003. Earlier submissions are encouraged to allow for a better issue planning. Time Schedule Submission Deadline: July 30th, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: October 30th, 2003 Final Manuscript Due: Dec 1st, 2003 Publication Date: Feb 2004 Guest Editors Dr M.

April 2003 in Erlangen --------------------------------- Die Zahl mobiler Rechnersysteme nimmt in den unterschiedlichsten Anwendungsbereichen immer mehr zu. Nicht nur Notebook und PDA, sondern vor allem eine Vielzahl eingebetteter Systeme spie- len hierbei eine immer größere Rolle. Letztlich handelt es sich bei all diesen Systemen um mehr oder weniger heterogen aufgebaute, mobile verteilte Systeme. Diese Systeme stellen inzwischen hohe An- forderungen an die Softwareinfrastruktur, die über heutige Standard-Betriebssysteme oft bereits weit hinausgehen. Über diese Fragen und über einige weitere Forschungsarbeiten auf dem Gebiet Betriebssysteme in Unternehmen und an Universitäten wird auf dem diesjährigen Frühjahrstreffen der Fachgruppe Be- triebssysteme unter dem Thema Mobile Systeme, Selbstorganisation, Context Awareness berichtet. Das Programm hängt als pdf-Datei an dieser Mail. Das diesjährige Frühjahrstreffen fällt mit der Emeritierung von Prof. Dr. Fridolin Hofmann, Inhaber des Erlanger Lehrstuhls für Betriebssysteme seit 1972, zusammen. Professor Hofmann hat in dieser Zeit die Arbeit verschiedener Fachgruppen der GI, vor allem natürlich die der Fachgruppe und des früheren Arbeitskreises Betriebssyteme immer sehr aktiv unterstützt. Die Fachgruppenleitung hat deshalb beschlossen, die Akademische Feier anlässlich der Emeritierung von Professor Dr. rer. nat. F. Hofmann in das Programm dieses Frühjahrstreffens am Freitag Nachmittag mit aufzunehmen. Alle Teilneh- mer des Fachgruppentreffens sind herzlich dazu eingeladen. Zur Teilnahme am Treffen der Fachgruppe melden Sie sich bitte möglichst bald über die WWW-Anmeldeseite der Tagung an: http://www.techfak.uni-erlangen.de/fgbs/Aktivitaeten/Treffen/2003-Erlangen/… Organisation: Dr. Jürgen Kleinöder Universität Erlangen, Informatik 4 Martensstr. 1 91058 Erlangen Tel.: (09131) 85 - 2 80 28 / 2 72 77 Fax: (09131) 85 - 2 87 32 E-Mail: jk(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de WWW-Seiten: http://www.betriebssysteme.org/Aktivitaeten/Treffen/2003-Erlangen/ Tagungsort: Universität Erlangen Technische Fakultät (Universität Südgelände) (Martensstr. 1 / Erwin-Rommel-Str. 60) Mensa-/Hörsaalgebäude, Konferenzsaal K1 Beginn: 03.04.2003, 14:15 Uhr Ende: 04.03.2003, 16:30 Uhr Hotelreservierungen müssen selbst vorgenommen werden.

April hier in Karlsruhe einen Workshop zum Thema "Persistenz, Skalierbarkeit, Transaktionen - Datenbankmechanismen für mobile Anwendungen". Angesichts der wachsenden Bedeutung mobilen Rechnens dürfte das Thema auch für viele von Ihnen von Interesse sein, die nicht zu mobilen Datenbanken forschen. Wir würden uns daher freuen, viele Teilnehmer aus unserer Fakultät begrüßen zu dürfen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Birgitta König-Ries Call for Participation Persistenz, Skalierbarkeit, Transaktionen - Datenbankmechanismen für mobile Anwendungen Workshop des GI Arbeitskreises Mobile Datenbanken und Informationssysteme 10. und 11.

Mobile Rechner gewinnen zusehends an Bedeutung. Sie ermöglichen zum einen die Entwicklung neuartiger Anwendungsfelder (z.B. lokationsabhängige Dienste), zum anderen die Verwendung traditioneller Anwendungen durch mobile Nutzer. Mobile Rechner bringen aber nicht nur neue Chancen, sondern auch neue Herausforderungen mit sich. Zentrale Fragestellungen sind etwa: Wie sollten Daten zwischen mobilen Klienten und stationären Servern verteilt werden? Wie können diese verteilten Daten konsistent gehalten werden? Wie kann für (anfällige) mobile Geräte Persistenz von Daten garantiert werden? Wie können geeignete Daten auf mobile Geräte repliziert werden? Wie kann eine große Zahl mobiler Klienten unterstützt werden? Ziel des Workshops ist es Vertretern von Hochschulen, Produktherstellern und Anwendern mobiler Technologie die Möglichkeit zu geben, sich zu diesen Themen auszutauschen. Über eine rege Teilnahme würden wir uns sehr freuen! Mit herzlichen Grüßen im Namen des Programmkomitees Birgitta König-Ries =================================================================== Workshop-Programm: Donnerstag, 10.April 2003, 13:30 - 18:30 Uhr Freitag, 11.
