Dear Friend, As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is BATES ALAN a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 10% for you and for your time. God be with you. BATES ALAN

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? How to achieve seamless interoperation between WLAN-based hotspots and cellular and other emerging wireless data networks? 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. 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 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 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 and other emerging wireless systems Mobility, roaming, and handoff management Context-aware services and technologies Location-aware applications and services Multimedia wireless applications 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 testbeds Please consult the Program Co-Chairs Sunghyun Choi (schoi(a)snu.ac.kr) and Bill Schilit (bill.schilit(a)intel.com) if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop.

Take the USA, for example. It is reported that more than a fifth of American households has a high-speed, always-on, Internet access, and an increasing number of them is exploiting wireless technologies to distribute the broadband connection throughout the rooms of their homes. With such a high-speed, always-on, connection a drastic revolution is coming in the way people watch movies and news, listen to music, and play games. This change has been driven fundamentally by two dominant factors: First, the technological advances of computer-based digital multimedia technology (high quality video and sound) have provided consumers with good motivations to upgrade their home entertainment systems (e.g., from mechanical VHS tape drives to digital DVD). Second, (wireless) networking technologies have enabled the possibility to shift what they first consumed on their desktop PC in the office to their digital TV equipment in the living room, as well as to the front pockets in their jackets. All this mean that in an entertainment-equipped house we might easily find a broadband entertainment center built on the top of a Cat-6 Ethernet cable infrastructure or on a Wi-Fi network. Such an entertainment platform might be comprised, for example, of a connection from the computer to the digital stereo or the TV devices, as well as of an interconnected PlayStation2 or XBox governed by programmable TiVo equipment for online play. In essence, what is really new, nowadays, is that we know what tomorrow's entertainment technology will bring to us: a ``magic box'' where every game ever thought, every movie ever made, every song ever sung, plus news, sport events and shows, will be available for instant enjoyment with just one click on a button. While interest for conducting research in this area was moderate for a long time, recently, instead, great opportunities have arisen in academia, as well as in industry, for developing researches in the field of computer-based entertainment systems, especially focused on the provision of networking and system support to entertainment. Obviously, all these exciting technological advances have raised a number of interesting research questions: How can the Internet native language (i.e. the TCP/IP protocol) take over this complex scenario for scaling the delivery of entertainment contents to very large numbers of users? How can digital entertainment be delivered efficiently to small devices such as PDAs and cell phones? How can new system development styles, like the peer-to-peer style for example, have influence on the architecture of computer-based entertainment systems? How can the employed protocol be integrated to optimize the distribution of entertainment contents? SCOPE OF CONTRIBUTIONS: This Feature Topic solicits paper submissions from all researchers involved in the field of computer-based entertainment to provide an opportunity to publish state-of-the art original papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Networking and System Support for Entertainment Systems - Wireless and Mobile Technologies for Entertainment - Wireless Multimedia for Entertainment - Networked Systems for Music and Movie Distribution - Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Multiplayer Games - Games on Mobile and Resource-constrained Devices - Games and Wireless Technologies - Networked In-Home Entertainment Systems - Networked In-Car/Flight/Train Entertainment Systems - Interactive TeleVision and Interactive Digital Storytelling - Networked Technologies for Sport and Entertainment - Wearable Networked Technologies for Entertainment - Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality Technologies for Entertainment - Integration and Interoperability Issues in Entertainment Systems Prospective authors should e-mail their manuscripts as a postscript or pdf attachment to the guest editors by November 01, 2004.
