Network operators offer multimedia services over mobile networks but it is still limited to particular devices on specific networks. The delivery of multimedia content to every mobile handset on every mobile network, anytime and anywhere is still a major challenge. Mobile media can be delivered via a multitude of different networks with very different characteristics like cellular networks (WCDMA, HSDPA, 3G MBMS), broadcast networks (DVB-H, DMB) or other networks standards like WLAN or Wimax. Mobile terminals like mobile phones, mobile TVs or handheld computers have different capabilities and characteristics. Consequently, seamless interworking between these terminals and networks is becoming more important in order to make uniform media delivery possible. New mobile multimedia services for large user groups like MobileTV, interactive TV, video on demand, TV chatting and multimedia telephony are arising. Each service has its own characteristics and demands for mobile media delivery. As always for mobile services spectrum efficiency is a pre-requisite for large scale deployment. Several European research projects from the FP6 program are addressing the challenges of mobile media delivery. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of mobile media delivery, projects from the mobile and wireless area like Ambient Networks, PHOENIX and DAIDALOS, from the networked audiovisual systems area like DANAE, ENTHRONE and Visnet as well as from the content technologies area like M-Pipe are dealing with mobile media delivery. Besides these projects a lot other research work about mobile media delivery is carried at academia, research institutes and industrial companies. EuMob 2006 will give researchers the opportunity to highlight their latest results on this topic. Researchers active in FP6 research projects as well as other leading international researchers will participate and share their latest findings. Original unpublished contributions are solicited dealing with topics of mobile media delivery like: o Architectures for mobile media delivery o Next generation mobile media delivery frameworks o Overlay networks for mobile media delivery o Peer-2-Peer networks for mobile media delivery o Multimedia service composition for mobile media o Solutions for optimized media delivery and transport over heterogeneous networks o QoS problems and solutions o Network convergence for media delivery o Media adaptation to networks and devices o Network-based mobile media adaptation and pro-active caching o Cross-layer communication for mobile media delivery o (Scalable) source coding for mobile media o Source/channel coding, joint optimizations o Efficient usage of radio and spectrum resources o Mobile media delivery for multi-user services o Interactive mobile broadcast and Mobile TV o Security and protection for mobile media delivery o Context-aware mobile media delivery PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit articles of not more than five pages including figures and references.

It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to ponder. On the one hand, we see present day mobile devices capable of providing many integrated services that only yesterday required several different devices. For instance, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and the desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand, the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems outlined above towards a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting the goal of a Personalized Network. * Addressing and routing * Architectural framework of personalized networks * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Dependability * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of person-centric applications * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Multimedia services for personalized networks * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Resource, service and context discovery * Security, privacy and accounting * Self-organization and adaptation * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, which attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Workshop on Networking in Public Transport Datum: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 15:53:29 +1100 Von: Lavy Libman <Lavy.Libman(a)nicta.com.au> Organisation: NICTA An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear colleagues, Apologies for any cross-postings. ========================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Networking in Public Transport (WNEPT 2006) in conjunction with QShine 2006 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada August 10, 2006 http://www.wnept.org Public transport (PT) systems, including buses, taxis, trains, ships and airplanes, are used daily by millions of people worldwide, ranging from regular commuters in metropolitan areas to long-distance business and leisure travellers. The ability to communicate and access information during travel is becoming increasingly crucial to maintain productivity or provide entertainment for PT passengers. However, despite phenomenal advances in mobile wireless networking technologies in recent years, commercial deployments of special networking solutions to support PT passengers remain scarce (except in airplanes). For the most part, mobile end users can only communicate by connecting directly to their individual wireless service providers. This prevailing situation offers a very limited and often inadequate support for the wide range of applications and needs of PT passengers, such as broadcast of multimedia entertainment and travel-related updates, and interactive multiplayer games. Additionally, networking support to PT vehicles is necessary to enable other PT-specific applications that do not directly involve the passengers, such as real-time surveillance, remote telemetry, and management of PT-specific road infrastructure (e.g. traffic lights on priority bus lanes and rail crossings). All of these require the deployment of integrated on-board network solutions to connect between passengers, content/application servers and other vehicle-mounted devices, neighboring vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and the Internet. Moreover, some inherent features of PT, such as the repetitiveness and predictability of routes and timetables, can be used to design specialized network protocols to further improve the quality of service perceived by PT passengers. Authors are invited to submit original full papers on any aspect of public transport networking. Contributions describing theoretical research, protocol design, experiments and measurements, commercial deployments, business models, or position/vision statements are all encouraged. Descriptions of work in progress, test trials, and future work plans are highly appreciated. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Broadband access to trains and airplanes * Mobile routers and network mobility * Intra-vehicle networks * IP and IPv6 mobility support for public transport * Multiple access networks in public transport * Authorization and authentication in public transport * Inter-vehicular communications, VANETs * Intermittent-connectivity and delay-tolerant networks * Protocol design for predictable mobility * Signalling between public transport and roadside infrastructure * Content distribution and on-board caching * Location privacy for public transport passengers * Novel public transport applications and services * Billing and charging for public transport networking * Experimental results and practical deployments Important dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2006 Notification: June 16, 2006 Final Version Due: June 30, 2006 For further information and submission instructions, visit http://www.wnept.org . _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

IEEE SECON grew out of IEEE INFOCOM (http://www.ieee-infocom.org) in 2004, in order to create an event that focused on the important and exciting topics of Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks. The conference will be organized to provide for collegiality and continuity in the discussions of the various topics among participants from the industrial, governmental and academic sectors. Original technical papers that address the communications, networking, applications, systems and algorithmic aspects of mesh and sensor networks, as well as those that describe practical deployment and implementation experiences are solicited for presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings. Papers presenting novel contributions in such disciplines as communications, networking protocols and architectures, algorithms, embedded systems, middleware and information management, and novel applications are solicited. PAPERS: Full papers - describing original, previously unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in sensor, ad hoc, and mesh communications and networks - are solicited. Papers with a deep focus on a specific discipline or stimulated by the synergistic interaction of diverse disciplines are encouraged. Papers describing practical application of technology to real-world problems are similarly encouraged. Papers submitted should not be concurrently under review at another conference, journal or similar venue. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New architectures and protocols to support communication, localization, time synchronization, routing, data dissemination, and other distributed services in heterogeneous, large-scale distributed, mesh networks and sensor networks * Novel algorithms and theories for management, supervisory control, and monitoring of distributed ad hoc networks, and techniques for the interpretation and use of sensor data in decision-making processes * Modeling and performance evaluation of large-scale distributed ad hoc and sensor networks, practical implementations and deployments, and real-world experiences * Theories and models on fundamental information and communication aspects of wireless mesh and sensor networks * Mechanisms for authenticated, secure communication and data dissemination in sensor and mesh networks * Algorithms and protocols to support quality of service in mesh and sensor networks, including admission control, resource allocation and fairness, and capacity planning * Integration of sensors into engineered systems, including novel techniques for on-sensor renewable power sources, mechanisms for on-sensor self-calibration and self-testing, and efficient schemes to maximize accuracy and minimize false alarms * Hardware platforms incorporating multiple sensors, computation, actuation, and wireless interfaces * Software platforms, middleware, and tools for mesh and sensor network applications development, deployment, and management PANELS: Proposals for panels on current topics in the field of ad hoc and sensor networking and applications are solicited. Panels related to the commercial application and development of sensors and mesh networks are especially encouraged. POSTERS, DEMOS AND EXPO: IEEE SECON 2006 will include poster/demonstration sessions that shall provide a forum to present and discuss: works in progress, industry demonstrations of new applications and techniques, practical implementations, industrial and commercial developments, research testbeds and demonstrations, recent research/implementation results, upcoming research challenges, future directions, and novel approaches in the fields of sensor, mesh and ad hoc communications and networks. One of the key goals of this conference is to foster collaboration between industry and academia. Hence, participation of researchers/developers from industry and posters/demostrations reporting joint work between industry and academia are especially encouraged. Submissions should be in the form of a proposal describing the main contributions of the poster/demo and the merits of the proposed ideas. If available, preliminary results can also be included. Proposals will be evaluated mainly based on their potential to stimulate interesting discussions, exchange of ideas and promote collaborations. Submissions should not be more than three pages (preferably IEEE conference format, 2-column) in length. Demonstration submissions should include the space requirements and/or any other equipment-specific requirements. The documents must contain the authors' names, affiliations, and contact information and the designated corresponding author. Accepted authors of posters/demos will have a space in the poster/demo session room to display their posters or exhibit their demos and describe their work in discussions with interested attendees. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS system. Details regarding the paper format and the submission process can be found at http://www.ieee-secon.org/2006/index.html. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. IEEE Communications Society policy states that all accepted SECON 2006 papers must have at least one registration at the regular rate. For authors co-authoring multiple papers, one regular registration is valid for up to three papers.
