-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP : Peer-to-Peer Multimedia Streaming - IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 18:37:16 -0300 (BRST) Von: nfonseca(a)ic.unicamp.br An: multicomm(a)comsoc.org Call for Papers - IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Peer-to-Peer Multimedia Streaming In recent years, peer-to-peer (p2p) multimedia streaming has aroused much interest both in research communities and in industries. By allowing peers serving each other in the network, p2p technology overcomes many limitations in traditional client-server paradigm to achieve user and bandwidth scalabilities. It has been shown that performance of a properly-designed p2p network actually improves, rather than deteriorates, with the increase of population size. Peer-to-Peer technology is promising for large content distribution as demonstrated by a number of proof-of-concept prototypes in both academia and companies. In a p2p multimedia streaming system, multimedia contents are delivered to a large pool of distributed users with low delay, high quality and high robustness. Fueled by advances in networking and compression technologies, p2p multimedia streaming has experienced much initial deployment success for applications such as Internet TV (IPTV), video conferencing, and surveillance. It is the key to address the emerging needs of large-scale digital IPTV, interactive videos, interactive games and other next-generation broadcast-based or personalized multimedia services. A scalable peer-to-peer multimedia system should support many hosts, possibly in excess of hundreds or even millions, with diverse heterogeneity in bandwidth, capability, storage, network, and mobility. It should also be able to support various applications under dynamic user arrival and departure, frequent host failures and unavailability, and unpredictable user behaviors, network traffic and congestion. In a p2p streaming networks, users should be able to share, search, and access contents in a distributed and efficient manner. To achieve these goals, it is particularly important to address the challenges in architecture design, network/transport support, resource discovery and content delivery mechanisms. Scope of Contributions ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This feature issue is devoted to original surveys and tutorials on these emerging issues in P2P streaming. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished original articles that are not under review in any other conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline for LOCAN 2006 extended to June 26th Datum: Mon, 19 Jun 2006 08:55:28 +0200 Von: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Due to numerous requests we decided to extend the deadline to June 26th. Please, find below the revised CFP. Our apologies for duplicate postings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2006 2nd International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2006 (www.ieee-mass.org) Vancouver, Canada, October 9 - 12, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the research community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behaviour achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The main objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery * Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: June 26, 2006 Acceptance Notification: July 19, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: August 10, 2006 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS2006 workshops.

September 29, 2006 Los Angeles, California, USA Important Dates: * EXTENDED Paper Submission Deadline: Tue., June 20, 2006 * Notification to authors: July 24, 2006 * Camera Ready Due: August 4, 2006 WMASH aim: ACM WMASH aims to address and discuss the technical and business challenges, ideas, views, and research results in providing public wireless Internet services and applications for mobile users in small, highly-populated, public spaces (wireless LANs and "hotspots"). Since the beginning of the workshop in 2003 several research and business challenges related to public WLAN were put forward. These challenges still need to be explored and market needs to converge while new developments continue. The challenges are: What is the overall network architecture and service model? How to roam through multiple wireless access providers with a unique service contract? How to decouple the wireless infrastructure providers from the Internet service (and content) providers? How to locate service facilities in the wireless access domain and how to match the available facilities with the user needs? How to exploit location and context information? How to provide differentiated service levels to different customers? How to achieve seamless interoperation between WLAN-based hotspots and cellular and other emerging wireless data networks? The last challenge, concerning seamless interoperation, is catching the most attention these days leading to activities in IEEE 802 and in 3GPP to move quickly towards finding standardized solutions. This workshop will aim at discussing these and several other challenges and issues behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access. Leaders and thinkers of the field from academia and industry will assemble to share their ideas and views. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers or position papers, describing current research, experimental work and visions of the future. We are specifically interested in work dealing with network layer and above (layers 3-7). Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but is not limited to: * Applications and services * New service and business models * Public WLAN and hotspot architectures * Community-owned WLAN infrastructures * WLAN-based ad-hoc network service creation and management * Metro-area hotspots using 802.11/802.16 mesh * Multi-radio mesh node designs * Self-configuring mesh networks for public hotspots * Mobile routers for transient, portable hotspots * Application case studies of mobile routers * Inter-working with other wireless systems, e.g., 3G, 802.16 * Mobility, roaming, and handoff management * Context-aware services and technologies * Location-aware applications and services * Multimedia wireless applications, e.g., Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) * Authentication, accounting, billing and payment issues * Security and privacy in public WLANs * Middleware support * Service location and discovery * Traffic measurements and modeling * Case studies on deployed platforms and experimental test beds Please consult the Program Co-Chairs Anand R. Prasad (prasad(a)docomolab-euro.com) and Sajal K. Das (das(a)cse.uta.edu) if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop. Paper Submission: The workshop solicits two types of contributions: regular papers and posters. Submitted regular papers must not be currently under review for any other publication. The poster session are meant for early research results. Posters may not preclude concurrent submissions on the same topic in regular conferences and journals. All submissions will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members, and will be judged by their technical merit, originality, and relevance to the workshop. All accepted regular papers and poster descriptions will be published in the workshop proceedings, which will be available at the ACM digital library. Selected regular papers will also be included in a special issue of an ACM journal. The page limits for a regular paper and a poster description are 10 and 3 pages, respectively. All submissions will be handled electronically via the EDAS system. The exact format of the submission should be referred to the submission guideline at the workshop home page. We expect authors of accepted papers/posters will attend the workshop and present their work.
