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 Original unpublished contributions are solicited dealing with topics of mobile media delivery like: * Architectures for mobile media delivery * Next generation mobile media delivery frameworks * Overlay networks for mobile media delivery * Peer-2-Peer networks for mobile media delivery * Multimedia service composition for mobile media * Solutions for optimized media delivery and transport over heterogeneous networks * QoS problems and solutions * Network convergence for media delivery * Media adaptation to networks and devices * Network-based mobile media adaptation and pro-active caching * Cross-layer communication for mobile media delivery * (Scalable) source coding for mobile media * Source/channel coding, joint optimizations * Efficient usage of radio and spectrum resources * Mobile media delivery for multi-user services * Interactive mobile broadcast and Mobile TV * Security and protection for mobile media delivery * 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. Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission through COCUS system at http://cocus.create-net.it/. Conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE and will be available through IEEExplore (approval pending).

Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Jens Schmitt ************************** Call for Contributions ************************* (We apologize for multiple copies) GI/ITG/MMB/KuVS Technical Discussion (Fachgespraech) on "PERFORMANCE MODELING OF SELF-ORGANIZING SYSTEMS" September 21, 2006, University of Passau, Germany http://www.iwsos.net.fmi.uni-passau.de/pmsos.html co-located with: EuroNGI IA.8.2 - New Trends in Network Architectures and Services: "INTERN. WORKSHOP ON SELF-ORGANIZING SYSTEMS (IWSOS 2006)" September 18 - 20, 2006, University of Passau, Germany http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/iwsos OVERVIEW: Self-organization plays a key architectural role for the future Internet as well as for large-scale pervasive computing systems such as wireless sensor networks. Self-organization will enhance flexibility and evolvability of organically growing, large-scale distributed systems. Driven by randomness and feedback, the relation between cause and effect of these systems may appear chaotic: minor causes may have severe impact, whereas seemingly major causes may only have a small effect. Traditional mathematical models tend to be linear and, thus, are not suitable to model such chaotic systems. Models to be developed should be simple to remain scalable to the huge number of entities in the systems under investigation and to be generally applicable. We aim to investigate the methodology for modeling and evaluating the performance and reliability of complex self-organizing systems at the edge of chaos. To this end, this meeting brings together leading national and international experts and creates a forum for knowledge exchange. IMPORTANT DATES: - Ext. abstracts/short paper subm. deadline: July 15th 2006, 11:59pm CET - Notification of acceptance: August 1st 2006 - Hotel reservation cut-off date: August 15th 2006 - Meeting date: September 21st 2006 PAPER SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION: The submitted extended abstracts and short papers will be reviewed and published in form of a Technical Report.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP BIONETICS 2006 Datum: Wed, 10 May 2006 09:26:57 +0200 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS BIONETICS 2006 1st International Conference on Bio Inspired mOdels of NEtwork, Information and Computing Systems http://www.bionetics.org/ Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, December 11-13, 2006 In co-operation with IEEE CIS(*), SMC *** Submission deadline: July 31, 2006 *** ************************************************************** Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet scale down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. A fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behaviour and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical artifacts which have similar high stability and efficiency as biological entities often have. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the following five areas including but not limited to the following topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools - Mathematical models of biological processes - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties b) Bio-inspired software - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies c) Bio-inspired security mechanisms - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Cell, body, population-level security mechanisms - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms d) Bio-inspired networks and communication systems - Bio-inspired network algorithms and protocols - Bio-inspired autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols e) Bio-inspired and bio-based nano-scale communication and information systems - Molecular communication - Biological computing - Nano-scale biologically engineered systems Prospective authors should submit full papers with up to 8 pages using 10pt font. Only electronic submissions in PDF format are accepted.
