A poster is a 1 meter x 1.25 meter rectangular board on which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. How you use this is up to you: you may choose to print out several 8.5"x11" or A4 sheets of paper (e.g., paper copies of overheads) and "tile" the poster board with these pages. Or, you may choose to print a single large sheet of paper describing the work and attach that to the poster board. Several document companies produce professional-looking posters from material produced on software like Powerpoint; you may want to use such a facility.

There are several research issues still to be explored in the public WLAN arena. 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? This workshop is aimed at discussing these and several other technical and business challenges behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access mean. 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 and visions of the future. We are specifically interested in work focusing on Transport layer and above (layers 4-7). Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but not limited to - applications and services - public WLAN architectures - community-owned WLAN infrastructures - WLAN-based ad hoc network service creation and management - new service and business models - interworking and cooperation with public cellular systems - mobility, roaming, and handoff management - context-aware services and technologies - location-aware applications and services - multimedia wireless applications - authentication, accounting, billing and payment - security and privacy - middleware support - service location and discovery - traffic measurements and modeling - case studies on deployed platforms and experimental testbeds Please consult the Program Co-Chairs Giuseppe Bianchi and Sung-Ju Lee if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop. Paper Submission Guidelines: Papers that are unpublished and are not currently under review by other journals, conferences, or workshops are solicited. We are interested in: - technical papers that describe original research results - position papers that proposes new technologies or shares future vision (similar to challenges papers in MobiCom) All submissions will be handled electronically.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Multimedia 2003: Call For Video Submissions Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2003 03:33:26 -0400 (EDT) From: ACM Multimedia Committee<acm-mm(a)dnrc.bell-labs.com> ACM Multimedia 2003 November 2-8, Berkeley, California Call for Video Submissions We'd like to encourage you to make a video for ACM Multimedia 2003. There are two types of video submissions: video figures and video demonstrations. A video figure is a short (3 minute) clip that accompanies a regular or short paper submission and serves as an illustration. A video demonstration is a longer (8 minute) clip that gives a self-explanatory demo of a tool, system, or application. Videos will be published on a CDROM. The preferred format for videos is MPEG-1, although we will accept VHS submissions. More information on video submissions can be found on the ACM Multimedia 2003 Web page http://www.acm.org/sigmm/mm2003. Video is a great way to present work that is best understood by example. Video also makes it possible to demonstrate your tool, system, or application without having to bring the equipment for a "live" demo. Even if you've never made a video before, please consider this new opportunity for Video Submissions at ACM Multimedia 2003. The deadline for submissions is July 15, 2003.

und hier ist noch ein CfP evtl. passend fu"r ELAN Aktivita"ten (nur kennt jemand die ICCV?) -- Lars -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers (MSGID:20030419123331) Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2003 12:39:02 +0800 From: CFP SYSTEM <cfp(a)cs.tku.edu.tw> To: <Lars.Wolf(a)KOM.tu-darmstadt.de> 2003 International Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration(WOMTEC) October 19-20, 2003 YiChang, China In association with ICCV 2003 http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/womtec/ As computing is becoming ubiquitous and network bandwidth grows, the way how people teach, learn, and collaborate is rapidly changing. People are increasingly using computer technologies to make learning and collaboration easier, more convenient, and more effective. There are still many open technical problems that need to be addressed to make e-learning and collaboration a better experience. We need to address the problem of how to better capture and present a lecture or a group meeting. We need to better understand the meeting context such as the gesture, facial expressions, who is speaking, who wants to speak so that we can generate good indexing schemes to allow for nonlinear browsing and provide a better summarization of the meeting. How to make note-taking easier is another interesting problem. For a group meeting or a class with remote participants, we need to address the problem of how to present the meeting room to the remote participants and vice versa so that the remote participants are not left out. One clear advantage of a face-to-face meeting vs. current video conferencing is that many visual cues, such as eye contacts and who is paying attention to what, are lost in video conferencing. Most of these problems involve techniques from computer vision, graphics, and multimedia. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the researchers who are interested in this area to exchange their work and ideas. The topics include but not limited to: · Camera and microphone arrays for AV capturing of lectures and group meetings. · Calibration of camera arrays for meeting/lecture capturing · Gesture recognition · Facial expression recognition · Eye gaze correction · Speaker detection and tracking from video and audio · Automated lecture capturing · Automated lecture analysis and indexing · Automatic assessment of student behavior · Lecture presentation and browsing · Whiteboard capturing and analysis · Classroom note taking · Novel use of TabletPC and other small devices for teaching and learning · E-learning systems · Digital ink compression, classification, and recognition · Video and document data compression · Distance learning standards such as SCORM The accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by IEEE Computer Society (pending approval). The best papers will be published in the International Journal of Distance Education Technologies. Because the ICCV paper decisions are made later than the submission deadline, we accept dual submissions from ICCV. The papers which are accepted by ICCV will be withdrawn from the workshop. At least one author per paper must register at a "non-student" rate before July 20, 2003. Otherwise the paper will not be included in the program. If all the authors on a paper are certified as students, then a student rate registration will be accepted. The workshop will be held in YiChang, Hubei province, China . YiChang is well-known for the Three Gorges Dam which will start producing power in 2003. Its environment is well preserved with beautiful mountains, clear streams, and amazing caves. It is also close to “ShenNongJia” national forest, one of the best preserved forests in China. Paper submission: To submit a paper, please go to our online submission system. Papers should be submitted electronically in pdf (preferred) or postscript with no more than 8 pages including all figures, references and appendices using the ICCV 2003 submission format. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: May 22, 2003 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2003 Camera-ready due: July 20, 2003 Conference: 10/19/2003 - 10/20/2003 Organized Tour: There will be an organized tour to the Three Gorges Dam.
