Users with handheld wireless devices, being mostly mobile, have different needs, motivations and capabilities from wired users. Mobile services are mobile/wireless computing applications and services that can be either pushed to user's handheld wireless devices (push mobile services) or downloaded and installed, over the air, on handheld wireless devices (pull mobile services). The explosive growth of the handheld wireless devices market, however, is stimulating the computing research community to clone almost any technology developed for desktop networked computers to handheld wireless devices connected to a wireless network. Wireless networks are, however, unreliable and suffer from low bandwidth and have a greater tendency for network errors. In addition, wireless connections can be lost or degraded by mobility. As a result, future intelligent mobile services must be designed from the ground up by taking fully into account the new design dimensions made accessible by the new technologies. This emerging field poses new challenges to the research community such as faster time-to-market, quality of wireless information, security concerns, and others. The aim of this special issue is to present most recent research findings on mobile services. We are seeking papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel mobile services and applications * Pull and push mobile services * Analysis and design of mobile services * Security and privacy issues in mobile services * Location-dependent mobile services * Content personalization * Discovery protocols for mobile services * Databases for mobile services * XML for mobile services * Middleware for mobile services * Agents for mobile services * Location and data management PUBLICATION SCHEDULE MANUSCRIPT DUE: September 15, 2003 ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION: December 1, 2003 FINAL MANUSCRIPT DUE: February 1, 2004 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors should email an electronic copy (preferably in PDF format) of their papers to Qusay H. Mahmoud, qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca, by September 15, 2003. Submissions should be limited to 20 double space pages excluding figures, graphs and illustrations. If email submission is impossible then six (6) copies of the paper (double-sided if possible) should be sent by the due date to: Dr. Qusay H. Mahmoud Dept. of Computing and Information Science University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1 Canada _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

[Fwd: CFP: Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet Date: Mon, 04 Aug 2003 21:35:49 -0300 From: Nelson Fonseca <nfonseca(a)ic.unicamp.br> To: itc(a)comsoc.org, csim(a)comsoc.org, multicomm(a)comsoc.org *Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine*** *Feture Topic on Proxy Support for Streaming on the Internet* Recent technological advances have led to a substantial interest in Internet streaming issues. The reasons for this increased interest are many. Broadband connectivity to home users is now available via technologies such as Cable modems and DSL. Commercial organizations have deployed global content distribution networks that allow streaming of content from edge servers, alleviating many of the drawbacks of streaming data over best-effort networks. Despite hurdles in the deployment of IP multicast, application-level multicast of content permits scalable delivery of high bandwidth content to a large number of users. These exciting technological advances have raised a number of interesting research questions. How can edge servers (proxies) be employed for scaling thedelivery of popular streaming content to very large numbers of users? Can peer-to-peer streaming be used to alleviate the load on popular servers and proxies? How can streaming content be delivered effectively to small devices such as PDAs and cell phones? How can techniques such as multi-path streaming be used to reduce packet loss How feasible is it to use TCP for streaming content? The Feature issue on "Proxy Support for Streaming in the Internetis" is devoted to these emerging issues in Internet streaming. *Topics of interest:* * Scalable video delivery * Peer to peer streaming * Multi-path streaming * TCP streaming * Edge servers and content delivery networks for streaming *Important Dates* Submission Deadline: December 1st, 2003 Acceptance Notification: March 15, 2003 Final Manuscript: May 1st, 2004 Publication:August 2004 *Submission* Papers can be of tutorial nature or present new research and development material.
