-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Workshop on Multimedia Content Protection and Security Datum: Tue, 6 Jun 2006 11:38:16 +0200 Von: Frank Hartung (AC/EDD) <frank.hartung(a)ericsson.com> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, <itc(a)comsoc.org>, <multicomm(a)comsoc.org>, <MOBICOM(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG> **** Apologies if you receive multiple copies **** CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Multimedia Content Protection and Security October 28, 2006, Santa Barbara, CA, USA http://stargate.ecn.purdue.edu/~ips/acm-sec/ Held in conjunction with the 2006 ACM Multimedia Conference We are 'Living la Vida Digital' -- in the shadow an ever-growing mountain of digital data, and advances in technology enable media delivery scenarios that were not feasible before; today's service providers and content providers must embrace new business models in order to attract and sustain consumers. But as the volumes of data grow, so does the importance of, and challenges associated with, multimedia content protection and security. To address these challenges, it is imperative to devise effective and flexible solutions. New technologies offer convenient ways to distribute and consume digital media; yet these new technologies also make it relatively easy to quickly and flawlessly copy digital data, posing tremendous challenges to protecting intellectual property rights. Multimedia security standards aim to define specifications that facilitate effective and flexible content protection schemes and promote interoperability among applications. While that is the Holy Grail, developing secure multimedia applications and solutions in a distributed environment with competing technologies and emerging standards is an enormous challenge. During this workshop, we will explore ways in which a combination of emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovative solutions and technologies that enable new markets might drive both new applications and entirely new ways of managing content. We will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from several perspectives: researchers, consumers and content/service providers. Call for Papers The intention of this workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from multimedia security communities (academia and industry) to share a vision of "Multimedia Security and Content Protection in this Rapidly Growing Digital World". That is, from identifying challenging problems that can shape the future of research, to practical applications and/or research that address issues posed by the convergence of television, computers and the Internet. We welcome papers on applications that combine emerging standards, emerging media formats, innovating solutions, and technologies that enable new markets. This workshop will provide an excellent overview of the relevant research, business, and consumer challenges, as well as the potential impact of emerging optical media formats. We expect to cover multimedia security from the several perspectives: researchers, consumers, and content/service providers. We encourage submissions on papers on all topics in the general areas of multimedia security, multimedia content protection, emerging standards, interoperability, and practical applications issues. Papers that bridge across these areas are of special interest.

IMS is also driving the notion of Next Generation Networks and Fixed Mobile Convergence by merging the fixed and mobile telecommunication networks with the Internet and the adoption of IP technologies within the telecom domain. >From a technology perspective the IMS represents conceptually a combination of fixed and mobile networks from the telecom domain with emerging VoIP and Internet applications in order to implement a seamless multimedia service environment. The international standardization of IMS was initiated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in 2000 and has resulted in first commercial implementations and first trial deployments around the world providing first experiences. The introduction of IMS is challenged today by the questions around business cases, IMS killer applications, migration strategies and interworking issues with existing and upcoming network and service platforms in converging networks. Topics In this special issue we would like to provide a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in IMS platform and applications development and deployment around the world. In addition, we want to identify upcoming research areas around IMS and investigate potential solutions in these areas. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but are not limited to: * IMS applications: IMS vs. Internet services, new IMS enabled multimedia applications, application servers, feature interactions, service orchestration, 3rd party interfaces, service creation toolkit, experiences with IMS combinational services * IMS and multimedia telephony, IMS and network convergence * IMS in mobile networks: PoC/PTT to IMS evolution, voice call continuity between IMS and legacy mobile networks * IMS and triple play, IMS/IPTV/iTV integration, IMS for broadcasting * IMS and access network integration and QoS issues for 3G, WLAN, WIMAX, WiBro, etc. * IMS core issues: security, performance/scalability, benchmarking, interoperability * Global IMS standards updates: IETF, 3GPP, ETSI TISPAN, OMA, etc. * IMS client standardization and implementation, IMS SIM card issues * Introduction strategies around the world for network operators Papers should be of tutorial nature and contain state-of-the-art research and development materials.

Chua ECE / National University of Singapore chuakc(a)nus.edu.sg *********************** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ********************** Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Papers presenting original contributions will also be considered, especially in special issues. However, their presentation should be accessible for all readers. Submissions of highly specialized and detailed technical papers should redirected to other journals, for example, the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology. Mathematical equations should only be used to help the reader in understanding better the contents of the paper. In any case, it is recommended to avoid their use if possible. References should be limited to a maximum of 15 and should only be included to guide readers interesting in further increasing their knowledge on the topic. All references should be easily accessible for authors, for example through IEEE XPLORE or other sources. However, PhD or diploma thesis should be avoided and a related publication should be used instead. References to Web pages should only be included if it corresponds to web sites with a proven stability. The IEEE VTM uses numbered references in square brackets ordered by the first use of the reference in the article. Articles should not exceed 5000 words. The combined number of figures and tables should not exceed 8. Exceptionally good articles could go beyond 5000 words (6000 is an absolute maximum) if the number of figures is reduced. Papers should be directly sent via email to one of the editors of the special issue. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Call for Papers Special Issue of Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing on Autonomic and Trusted Computing Systems and Applications (URL: http://cs.okstate.edu/~xiaolin/joatc/CFP06.htm) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deadline: June 15, 2006 (extended) As computer systems become increasingly large, complex and pervasive, their self-manageability and trustworthiness play critical roles in supporting next-generation science, engineering, and business applications. They provide computing services to large pools of users and applications, and thus are exposed to a number of dangers, such as, accidental/deliberate faults, virus infections, malicious attacks, illegal intrusions, and natural disasters. Identifying and rectifying problems in such complex systems which consist of several heterogeneous software/hardware/network components is non-trivial. As a result, too often computer systems fail, become compromised, or perform poorly. Therefore, it remains a challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the performance of trustworthy systems. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services that are predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, and privacy protect-able. The scale and complexity of information systems evolve towards overwhelming the capability of system administrators, programmers, and designers. This calls for the autonomic computing paradigm, which meets the requirement of self-management by providing self-optimization, self-healing, self-configuration, and self-protection. As a promising means to implement trusted and self-managing systems, autonomic computing technology needs to be further explored. On the other hand, any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trusted and autonomic computing and communications need synergistic research efforts covering many disciplines, ranging from computer science and engineering, the natural sciences, biological sciences, to social sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software, system architectures, and communication systems that support the effective and coherent integration of the constituent technologies. This special issue seeks original contributions of theoretical or practical emphasis in the area of autonomic and trusted computing systems and applications, including but are not limited to: * Autonomic Computing Theory and Models * Autonomic Computing Systems and Applications * Autonomic System Tools and Interfaces * Autonomic Grid Systems, Middleware, and Services * Bio-Inspired System Design * Context-aware Access Control * Economic Models for Autonomic Trusted Computing Systems and Applications * Embedded Trusted and Autonomic Architectures * Human Interaction with Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems * Reliability and Availability Issues in Embedded and Sensor Network Systems * Reliability Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation * Security Models and Quantification * Sensing, Monitoring and Measurements for Self-Managing Systems * Self-* Design for Ubiquitous Computing * Self-healing, Self-protecting and Fault-tolerant Systems * Software and Hardware Reliability, Verification and Testing * Trusted Autonomic Computing and Communications * Trust Models and Specifications * Trust-related Security and Privacy * Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Important Dates: Expression of Interest: ASAP, 2006 Submission Deadline: June 15, 2006 Acceptance Notification: September 1st, 2006 Final Manuscript: October 1st, 2006 Publication Date: December, 2006 Submission Information: * Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Transaction manuscript format described in the Guide for Authors at http://www.joatc.org/ * Please limit your paper appropriately so that the final version is approximately 15 pages in length following IEEE Transaction paper styles (single-space double-column). * Your email of intent to submit a paper should include author(s) information, a title and an abstract. * Please email your submission in PDF or MS Word format to the guest editors. * If you are not sure about the suitability of a given topic or if you want to know more details about the special issue's intent, please do not hesitate to contact the guest editors. * All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed according to the rules of JoATC.
