[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Multimedia Streaming in Ad hoc Networks at DMS 2004]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Multimedia Streaming in Ad hoc Networks at DMS 2004 Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2004 20:40:24 -0500 From: Duc.Tran(a)notes.udayton.edu To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS Special Session on MULTIMEDIA STREAMING IN AD HOC NETWORKS at the 2004 International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS ’04) Website: http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms04.html Hotel Sofitel, San Francisco Bay, California September 8 - 10, 2004 Multimedia streaming is one the most popular services on the current Internet. Its already-high demand is even on the rise as the Internet users have started to be familiar with peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies which enable them to share contents between one another directly. Streaming in the P2P manner, in contrast to the traditional client/server approach, takes advantage of existing end-system computational and networking resources, thus allowing economical clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire service community. However, multimedia content is resource demanding while user computing devices are not as powerful as are content servers. Consequently, designing a good decentralized streaming scheme in a large-scale peer-to-peer environment is challenging. The problem becomes more of a challenge due to the ad hoc behavior of peers; they can leave and join the system freely at any time. As people tend to work beyond their office desk, it is also expected that the next generation of communication networks includes rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly without any networking infrastructure such as the Internet and infrastructure-based wireless LANs. In other words, the users form a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). As multimedia streaming becomes an integrated part of an increasing number of applications and wireless networks are emerging to dominate the communication environment of the future, it is interesting and worthwhile to investigate multimedia streaming solutions for MANETs. There are many open issues regarding this investigation due to the deviation between the resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service desired by multimedia streaming users. This special session seeks original contributions of high-quality papers that address novel systems challenges towards the success of multimedia streaming deployment in peer-to-peer and wireless ad hoc networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Information theories to support ad hoc multimedia streaming * Modeling, measurement, and performance study on ad hoc multimedia streaming * Internet P2P multimedia streaming * P2P multimedia content distribution networks * Ad hoc overlay solutions for multimedia streaming * Live streaming, video on demand, and video conferencing in wireless ad hoc networks * Network and transport protocols for streaming in wireless ad hoc networks * Management, QoS, and security aspects in streaming over wireless ad hoc networks * Streaming applications in sensor networks * Implementations of multimedia streaming in ad hoc networks Important Dates March 31, 2004 Paper submission due June 1, 2004 Notification of acceptance July 1, 2004 Final manuscript due July 1, 2004 Early conference registration due Special Session Co-Chairs Hung Q. Ngo, University at Buffalo, SUNY (hungngo(a)cse.buffalo.edu) Thinh Nguyen, Lawrence Livermore National Lab (thinhq(a)eecs.berkeley.edu) Duc A. Tran, University of Dayton (duc.tran(a)notes.udayton.edu) Information for Authors Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers in PS or PDF format to one of the co-chairs via electronic mail.

Contributions will be reviewed by at least three referees from both the program committee and external reviewers for originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance, and technical contents on basis of papers. The accepted papers will be published in the 2004 DMS conference proceedings. Special Issue of Journals Top ranked accepted papers will be fast-tracked to a special issue of an international journal, subject to the review by the program committee.

Broadband Networks cover the entire gamut of next generation networking with ultra-high bandwidths available all the way from access networks (xDSL, Cable, EPON, Broadband Wireless, multi-Gigabit uplinks), regional and metropolitan networks to wide-area core networks. The conference will consist of the following major symposia or tracks: ** Broadband Wireless Networking that is defined to cover high-speed wireless networking for access, regional and backhaul networks including backhaul capacity provisioning using wireless, including the WLAN networks and WMAN. ** Broadband Optical Networking, that is drawn from the traditional and well-established OptiComm conference, covering Optical Networking technologies including WDM networks. AND Optical Applications and Data, that covers topics including Gigabit Ethernet, Storage Area Networks, and Community Networks. BroadNets 2004 will thus offer a unique forum for researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new results in these important areas. --------- This Call for Papers describes the details for the Broadband Wireless Networking Syposium ONLY. We are soliciting full papers in all research areas on broadband wireless networking. Topics of interest, but not limited to, the following: - 3G/4G Systems - Fixed Broadband Wireless Access - Wireless Local Area Networks - WLAN Hotspots - Wireless indoor & home networks - Wireless Personal Area Networks including IEEE 802.15 - IEEE 802.16 (WiMax) Standards Activities and Products - Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks - Wireless Wide Area Networks - Free-Space Optics - Ultra Wideband (UWB) Networks - Ad-hoc networks - Cellular mobile/WLAN interoperability - System architecture - Network Topology management - Neighbour discovery - Unicast and multicast routing - Quality-of-Service support - Security techniques and systems - Resource management - Software-defined radio - Space-time processing, MIMO systems - Digital signal processing - Smart (directional) antennas - Power control - Wireless emergency systems - Standards, Licensing and regulation - Interference mitigation for multiple access - Economics and business cases IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Full papers due: March 15, 2004 Notification of acceptance: June 7, 2004 Final manuscript due: July 7, 2004 Conference Dates: October 25 - 29, 2004 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------------- Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 20 double-spaced pages, including references, figures and tables. All submissions should be submitted electronically in Postscript or Adobe PDF format. Electronic submission instructions will be made available very shortly. Papers of particular merit will be considered for a special issue of ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks (MONET) Journal. PROPOSALS FOR TUTORIALS AND PANELS ---------------------------------- Proposals for tutorials and panels on broadband wireless networking and related topics are solicited. Tutorial proposals should consist of: 1) title and outline of materials to be presented, 2) description of potential audience, 3) justification of why the proposed topic is interesting and timely and, 4) biographical sketch of the presenter(s). Please submit your proposals to the appropriate Chairs by May 1, 2004. Panel topics should address innovative, controversial, or otherwise provocative issues of interest related to broadband wireless networking and communications. Please submit your proposals to the appropriate Chairs by May 1, 2004.
