On the other hand, in the academic research community and grid computing community, many networked computing infrastructures, such as Emulab and Planetlab, have been built and shared among research scientists to run various types of research experiments. Utility Computing (UC) is a paradigm that enables distributed resources (network, systems, applications, services) being provided to users on-demand and in a uniform manner. A utility infrastructure thus has to be dynamic, virtualized, secure and automated, in nature and operate on a wide range of resources. While the UC paradigm itself will very likely enable many exciting distributed applications over the Internet in the near future, technologies related to the management of networks, computing systems, and resources under utility computing systems must be carefully studied and examined. Therefore, this year's DSOM workshop will focus on infrastructure, techniques and methods that can be used to enable the paradigm of utility computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: · Management Architectures · Automation for enabling self-management, self-configuration, and policy-based management · Management Information Models · Use of service-oriented architectures (web services, grid services) for management · Provisioning/Maintaining the Performance and QoS Management · SLA and business-objective driven management · Security, Privacy, and Isolation · Fault Management and Fault Tolerance · Monitoring, event and fault handling · Closed-loop management · Configuration, Accounting, Billing · Experience with distributed Management of Systems, Applications, Networks · Inter-domain management · Adaptive Services and Applications · Transaction Monitoring and Management · Integration with Standardized frameworks, management APIs and models (CIM/WBEM, OSI/TMN, CORBA, SNMP, JMX etc) · Implementation, Instrumentation, and Experience Important Paper Deadline: Submission May 24, 2004 Notification July 12, 2004 Camera ready Aug 5, 2004 Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged to be submitted to DSOM 2004. Papers under review elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted to DSOM 2004 Authors are requested to submit: -Long papers (up to 12 single-spaced single-column pages) or -Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 2 pages) in PDF or Postscript format.

CFP: 1st IEEE International Workshop On Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment
by Lars Wolf 04 May '04

04 May '04

[Apologies if you receive this more than once] ---- CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'04) GLOBECOM 2004 - Satellite Workshop November 29th 2004 Dallas, TX, USA The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. Many of the technologies pioneered in emerging entertainment applications have also found use in a large spectrum of more serious settings, ranging from telemedicine to in-home, in-car, in-flight multimedia distribution platforms. The success of the entertainment technology is confirmed by several facts. Take, for example, the two following cases: in 2003 the revenues generated by games have yet again surpassed those provided by the movie industry; the Apple iTunes online music service has hit a record share of almost 20% in the MP3 player market in the last semester of 2003. Further, while in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences (e.g., video on demand), continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. Simply put, today's entertainment technology is able to create "entertainment spaces" in which people experience a world where games, movies, songs, plus news, sport events and shows, are all made available for instant enjoyment with just one click. Another beneficial aspect of high-tech entertainment is that this phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, however, only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a "large interactive environment" for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless Internet (along with its protocols, architectures, programming styles and technological solutions) may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The first IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on Next-Generation Multimedia Networking concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Networked Technologies for Entertainment: - Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games - Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...) - Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for Entertainment - Media and Device Adaptation - Music and Movie Distribution - Next Generation Wireless Technologies for Entertainment (IEEE802.11n, UWB and Beyond) - Opportunistic Multi-hopping and Opportunistic Networks for Entertainment - QoS and Security Support for Entertainment - Resource and Service Discovery Technologies (P2P, LDAP, ...) - Technologies for Networked In-Home/Car/Flight/Train Entertainment - TV-Centric and Broadcast Networks for Entertainment Emerging Entertainment Applications: - Agent-based Entertainment - Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality - Evolutionary Entertainment - Field Trials - Interactive Television and Theater - Massive Multiplayer Games - Mobile and Wireless Entertainment - Networked Entertainment - Networked Narrative and Digital Interactive Storytelling - Networked Video, Music and Sound Design - Pervasive Entertainment - Personalized and User-Adapted Television - Sport, News and Entertainment - Virtual Technology and Virtual Environments for Entertainment - Wearable Entertainment - Wireless and Mobile Gaming - Testbed and Performance Evaluations Guidelines for Paper Submission: Original papers from the above mentioned topics or related areas will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process. The accepted papers will be published in the IEEE-sponsored workshop proceedings. Submission guidelines should be strictly followed. 1. Submit an electronic copy of the paper in a .pdf or .ps format through the EDAS paper submission site (hhtp://edas.info). 2. The body of the paper should not exceed 15 pages double spaced (4000 words, 12 point font) 3.

Vergados Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering University of the Aegean GR - 832 00, Karlovassi, Samos, Greece Email: vergados(a)aegean.gr Scope Next generation wireless networks are evolving to accommodate a variety of services and traffic types, including data transfer, voice, video and multimedia streaming, while allowing a user to roam within the service area of the network, or between networks without disrupting the quality of service (QoS) provided. Current wireless local area networks can provide only best-effort QoS with limited capabilities regarding mobility. Future wireless access networks must be able to guarantee predefined levels of QoS allowing the services mentioned above to be supported. Furthermore, the QoS parameters should not be exceeded during intra WLAN and WLAN – cellular handoff. Providing QoS sufficient to support these applications over a WLAN can be a challenging task. WLANs often allow a variable number of users with heterogeneous QoS requirements to share a common radio channel, usually with limited access control, making packet delivery fluctuant and unpredictable. WLAN MAC protocols must be extended to support prioritization and bandwidth reservation in order to enable guaranteed QoS provisioning to users of wireless services. Also, user mobility, as it has been manifested in extensive studies in cellular networks, introduces a new set of QoS parameters which must be considered when designing a local area network. Wireless Local Area Networks cover single-hop or multi-hop communications which can provide various network services within a limited service area. Research and deployment of these networks has been very rapid in the past few years, leading to the development of a number of wireless local area network technologies, like 802.11 (Wi-Fi), 802.15.3 and HiperLAN. Even though these technologies can provide high speed (broadband) wireless access to IP networks, they have significant limitations, which must be overcome for allowing seamless, scalable and stable QoS for wireless mobile users. The goal of the special issue in IEEE Network Magazine is to publish original research and review articles which should be comprehensive to all readers, regardless of their specialty. This special issue will cover comprehensively architectures, algorithms and technologies for quality of service (QoS) and resource management in wireless local area networks (WLANs). In particular we are interested in tutorial, survey and original research articles on, but not limited to the following topics: * QoS support in WLANs * QoS provisioning, management and capacity optimization in WLANs. * WLAN performance evaluation studies * Layer 2 mobility management/support in WLANs * Consistent QoS across WLAN and 3G handover * Power control and management for energy-efficient WLANs * Service differentiation in WLANs * QoS and security in WLANs * QoS accounting & billing for WLAN hotspots. Manuscript Submission Interested authors should submit an electronic version of the manuscript, in PDF format, as an email attachment to both guest editors. Additional information including “Guidelines for authors” is available at the IEEE Network Website: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html Important Dates Submission Deadline: October 15, 2004 Acceptance Notification: March 1, 2005 Final Manuscripts Due: April 15 2005 Publication of Special Issue: July/August 2005 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
