Note that the abstract submission deadline has been extended to March 7 ------------------------------------------------ The Second Annual Symposium on Autonomous Intelligent Networks and Systems www.ains.cs.ucla.edu, http://path.berkeley.edu/ains At Santa Lucia Complex, Bologna, Italy June 30 to July 1, 2003. The goal of this annual symposium has been to explore and encourage research that would support the development of intelligent networks consisting of many autonmous agents, including UAV's, UGV's, or AUV's, interacting with the physical world in a distributed but coordinated fashion, and also to explore applications of such systems for defense, security, industrial control, environmental monitoring, and planetary exploration. As in the first symposium held last year at UCLA, this symposium will explore technological advances in a number of disciplines that would support such a vision; these include communications systems, collaborative robotic systems, battlefield networks, and neuro-biological systems. A major goal is to foster collaboration, on an international scale, through the identification of common models, tools and methodologies and of opportunities for collaboration among engineers and scientists working on related problems with different perspectives. This symposium will serve as a forum for intelligent agent technologists and visionaries from academia, industry and research labs. Papers may describe research or technology advances as well as ongoing prototyping efforts, experience reports, case studies, and descriptions of interesting systems. Submissions that describe future visions as well as practical technologies of significance and relevance to this area are encouraged. Papers, written in English, should not exceed 3000 words. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. A selection of the papers will be published as a Reference Book. Authors should submit an extended abstract (max 3 pages), a complete list of authors and their affiliations, a contact person for correspondence, and e-mail addresses. Papers may be accepted either for oral or poster presentation. Both Abstract and Papers must be submitted in electronic form (PDF) to ainspapers(a)path.berkeley.edu. Topics include but are not limited to * Self-configuring agent-based wireless networks * Collaborative robotic systems, including large robotic "swarms" * Large-scale emergent behavior * Hierarchical system organizations and dynamic system re-organization * Systems informed by advances in neuro-biological networks * Distributed sensing and control networks * Cooperative behavior in natural and artificial systems * Software architecture for large-scale systems * Simulation of large scale distributed systems * Experimental platforms for the study of autonomous agents * Security in distributed systems * Fault tolerant distributed agent networks * Resource management in autonomous systems Important Dates * Electronic Abstract Submission March 7, 2003 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

There is also increasing demand for solutions which provide assured levels of service quality. All of these require novel paradigms, models and architectures for realising integrated end-to-end service management rather than managing network elements in isolation. Providing scalable Quality of Service (QoS) while maintaining fairness, along with secure and optimal network resource management are key challenges for the future Internet. These challenges apply to both fixed and wireless networks. The IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services will hold its sixth annual meeting from September 7th to September 10th, 2003 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. MMNS provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate. In just 6 years, MMNS has established itself as one of the premier conferences with a focus on the management of multimedia networks and services. The conference objective is to bring together researchers working in all facets of network and service management as applied to broadband networks and multimedia services. MMNS deals with all aspects of designing, developing and deploying networked multimedia systems and it serves as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research and development results. MMNS 2003 will also include panel sessions in which experts offer their observations and opinions about current hot topics. The keynote speaker will be Professor Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology who will present a vision of future interplanetary network architecures. Professor Derek McAuley, head of Intel's recently formed laboratory at Cambridge, UK, will describe some of the new research being undertaken on global overlay networks and applications. The program committee is soliciting original papers describing research in the area of management of multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Active multimedia network management * Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks * Augmented and Virtual Reality Networks * Billing and Accounting * Cable multimedia network management * Content distribution internetworking * Deployment of multimedia services * Distributed multimedia service management * End-to-end IP multimedia network and service management * IP Video, streaming, interactive video service management * Middleware support for management * Multimedia network traffic engineering and optimization * Multimedia traffic management * Multimedia content protection * Multimedia session management * Multi-point, multicast services management * Network management models and architectures * Network programmability for multimedia services * Optical multimedia network management * Policy-based management for multi-media services * Provisioning of multimedia networks and services * QoS in WLANs * QoS management * Resource, performance and fault management * Security and Authentication * VoIP service management * Web Services * Wireless and mobile multimedia network management Papers must be submitted electronically in postscript or PDF format. Detailed instructions are provided on the conference web site, http://www.ee.qub.ac.uk/mmns2003. Submission date: 4th April 2003 Notification of acceptance: 6th June 2003 Final version: 4th July 2003 Conference Chairs: Professor Alan Marshall, a.marshall(a)ee.qub.ac.uk, Queen's University of Belfast, UK Professor Nazim Agoulmine, nazim(a)rp.lip6.fr, University of Evry, France _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
