und noch ein Ortswechsel ... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Location Change: Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 07:02:58 +0200 From: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Reply-To: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> To: SIGMM-MEMBERS(a)ACM.ORG From: Yong Rui <yongrui(a)microsoft.com> LOCATION CHANGE 2003 International Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration (WOMTEC) October 19-20, 2003 Nice, France In association with ICCV 2003 http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/womtec/ As computing is becoming ubiquitous and network bandwidth grows, the way how people teach, learn, and collaborate is rapidly changing. People are increasingly using computer technologies to make learning and collaboration easier, more convenient, and more effective. There are still many open technical problems that need to be addressed to make e-learning and collaboration a better experience. We need to address the problem of how to better capture and present a lecture or a group meeting. We need to better understand the meeting context such as the gesture, facial expressions, who is speaking, who wants to speak so that we can generate good indexing schemes to allow for nonlinear browsing and provide a better summarization of the meeting. How to make note-taking easier is another interesting problem. For a group meeting or a class with remote participants, we need to address the problem of how to present the meeting room to the remote participants and vice versa so that the remote participants are not left out. One clear advantage of a face-to-face meeting vs. current video conferencing is that many visual cues, such as eye contacts and who is paying attention to what, are lost in video conferencing. Most of these problems involve techniques from computer vision, graphics, and multimedia. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the researchers who are interested in this area to exchange their work and ideas. The topics include but not limited to: * Camera and microphone arrays for AV capturing of lectures and group meetings. * Calibration of camera arrays for meeting/lecture capturing * Gesture recognition * Facial expression recognition * Eye gaze correction * Speaker detection and tracking from video and audio * Automated lecture capturing * Automated lecture analysis and indexing * Automatic assessment of student behavior * Lecture presentation and browsing * Whiteboard capturing and analysis * Classroom note taking * Novel use of TabletPC and other small devices for teaching and learning * E-learning systems * Digital ink compression, classification, and recognition * Video and document data compression * Distance learning standards such as SCORM The accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by IEEE Computer Society (pending approval). The best papers will be published in the International Journal of Distance Education Technologies. Because the ICCV paper decisions are made later than the submission deadline, we accept dual submissions from ICCV. The papers which are accepted by ICCV will be withdrawn from the workshop. At least one author per paper must register at a "non-student" rate before July 20, 2003. Otherwise the paper will not be included in the program. If all the authors on a paper are certified as students, then a student rate registration will be accepted. Paper submission: To submit a paper, please go to our online submission system. Papers should be submitted electronically in pdf (preferred) or postscript with no more than 8 pages including all figures, references and appendices using the ICCV 2003 submission format. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: May 22, 2003 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2003 Camera-ready due: July 20, 2003 Conference: 10/19/2003 - 10/20/2003 Workshop Co-Chairs Zicheng Liu Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA Zhengyou Zhang Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA Yong Rui Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA Local Arrangement Chair Yang-Fan Fang Yi-Chang High Tech District, China Program Committee Gregory Abowd George Tech, USA Richard Anderson University of Washington, USA Sumit Basu Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA Herng-Yow Chen National Chi-Nan University, Taiwan Xilin Chen CMU, USA Michael Cohen Microsoft Research, USA Ross Cutler Microsoft Research, USA Michael Gleicher University of Wisconsin at Madison, USA Ken Goldberg UC Berkeley, USA Jianjun Hou Beijing University, China Thomas S.

The first four Web Caching Workshops (WCW) focused on Web cache software and caching networks for static Web content. The scope broadened to encompass content distribution and eventually all areas relating to the intersection of storage and networking for Internet content services, including such areas as storage for grid computing and peer-to-peer storage services. In other words, the name of the workshop has stayed relatively constant, but the topics included in it will, as always, cover the newest and most interesting areas relating to data as it moves about the Internet. This year we are especially interested in issues of massive scale: the impact of geography on caching and replication; the role of caching and data transfer in Internet-wide grid computing; global peer-to-peer file transfer and storage; and other topics consistent with the history of the workshop and the evolution of web caching and content delivery. Call for Papers --------------- The workshop solicits technical papers related to Internet content caching and replication, content delivery, and content services networking. Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to: + Caching and edge services for the wireless Web + Caching and replication for grid computing + Consistency management + Content placement and request routing + Edge services and dynamic content caching + Empirical studies of deployed content delivery systems + Geographical influences on caching and replication + In-stream content modification (e.g., transcoding, pluggable services) + Internet caching architecture and protocols + Memory and storage management for content caches + Overlay networks for content delivery + Peer-to-peer caching and content delivery + Peering and content services internetworking + Security and availability of Web service architectures + Streaming media caching + Web workload analysis and characterization + Wide-area upload and "content gathering" General Chair ------------- Brian D.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue IEEE TRANSACTION ON NEURAL NETWORKS Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 19:58:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuanyi Ji <jic(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: jic(a)ece.gatech.edu Call for Papers IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NEURAL NETWORKS Special Issue on Adaptive Learning Systems in Communication Networks The recent years have seen an explosive growth in the progress and adoption of communication networks for data and telecommunication applications. In particular, the emergence of the Internet as a new medium for business transactions, government services, information acquisition, computing and communication has created a vast array of problems unforeseen just a few years ago. As the capabilities of the available networking infrastructure improve many foresee convergence of data, voice and video transport over what is currently known as the Internet or its derivatives. Communication networks and internetworks, and in particular the Internet, have been characterized as the ultimate data-rich environments, dynamically evolving and expanding practically without any centralized control. Such data-rich, unstructured environments present a particular challenge for traditional methods of analysis and design. Adaptive learning methods, in general, including adaptive signal processing, neural networks, fuzzy logic and other data-driven methods and algorithms are in the unique position to offer credible alternatives. Such approaches have the potential for solving and improving the available solutions for some of the toughest problems faced in this newly emerging set of interrelated information technologies. The goal of the proposed special issue is two-fold: " to highlight the on-going research in the field of adaptive learning systems, and in particular adaptive signal processing and neural networks, as it is applicable to computer and communication networks, and, " to present to the neural networks community and to others interested in adaptive learning systems, in general, a variety of new and challenging problems and their proposed solutions, originating from the rapidly expanding universe of computer and communication networks. As the use of these technologies spreads, numerous modeling, estimation, control, classification, clustering and signal processing problems are emerging. Many of these problems currently have no satisfactory solutions and some have been addressed with ad-hoc solutions with much room remaining for improvements. A common underlying theme of these problems is that they are " very data-rich, " represent a dynamically changing environment where the lack of valid mathematical models is predominant, and, " representative of systems with minimal or no centralized control. These problems appear amenable to data-driven methods and algorithms, such as adaptive learning methods, including neural networks and other non-parametric or semi-parametric approaches. This special issue will welcome contributions with proposed approaches to existing problems, either with currently known or unknown solutions, and to new problems in the subject areas of computer and communication networks. The focus of the proposed solutions will be on data-driven or the so-called measurement-based methods and algorithms, rooted in the general areas of adaptive learning methods. The Special Issue papers will cover topics of interest that include a broad range of underlying communication network infrastructure technologies. Papers are solicited from, but not limited to, the following topics: Network Management Topics " Methods and algorithms for network traffic analysis, modeling and characterization " Network performance measurement and analysis techniques " Network fault monitoring and diagnosis methods " Network security and privacy, including intrusion detection methods " Approaches and methods for Quality of Service in IP networks " Scalable routing algorithms " Decentralized congestion control algorithms " Novel admission control algorithms " Control algorithms for high-speed network access technologies " Application of "new approaches" in adaptive learning systems to data-intensive tasks in complex networks Content Management Topics " Approaches for scalable Web caching and related optimization methods " Novel solutions to operational problems in content delivery and distribution networks " Web data mining and knowledge discovery - scalability and comparison of methods " Web personalization methods " Information hiding techniques and digital rights management " Novel solutions to information access and retrieval for dynamic Web content " Efficient compression algorithms and coding for continuous digital media - multimedia content " Architectures for Quality of Service guarantees in real-time distributed applications " Uncertainty management in real-time distributed applications " Concepts in real-time distributed applications enabled by new communication network technologies Guest Editors: Alexander G. Parlos, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA (Coordinator) Chuanyi Ji, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, USA K. Claffy, San Diego Supercomputer Center, University of California, San Diego, California, USA Thomas Parisini, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy Marco Baglietto, University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy Manuscripts will be screened for topical relevance, and those that pass the screening process will undergo the standard review process of the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks (see the instructions for authors in the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks). Paper submission deadline is November 1, 2003. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an abstract by September 1, 2003. This will help in the planning and review process. The final Special Issue will be published in the Fall of 2004. Electronic manuscript submission is mandatory and only papers in pdf format will be considered for review. All manuscripts should be sent to the Coordinator of the guest editorial team at a-parlos(a)tamu.edu. Researchers interested in reviewing manuscripts for the Special Issue should contact the Guest Editors via e-mail and provide a brief description of expertise. -- _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
