FYI -----Original Message----- From: Marco Roccetti [mailto:roccetti@cs.unibo.it] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 1:07 PM To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org Cc: Marco Roccetti Subject: cfp for NIME'06 /* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. */ CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'06) CCNC 2006 - Satellite Workshop January 7-10, 2006, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The second IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: MHWMN-2005 Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 23:48:10 -0400 (EDT) From: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> To: <manet(a)ietf.org> CC: podc(a)acm.org, tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ****** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message **** ======================================================================= CFP: IEEE MHWMN'2005 The IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks 2005 (IEEE MHWMN'05) (http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2005/CFP.html) To be held in conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2005) Washington DC, USA, November 7-11, 2005 ========================================================================= AIM and SCOPE ------------- The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range,power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. TOPICS ------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: -Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management -Quality of services (QoS) delivery in MHWMN -Robust and scalable routing protocols for MHWMN -MAC protocols for MHWMN -Self-configuration and synchronization for MHWMN -Security issues in MHWMN -Topology control and management for MHWMN -Mobility models and location management in MHWMN -Cross-layer design and interactions for MHWMN -Modeling and performance evaluation for MHWMN -Algorithms for localization and signal processing in MHWMN -Implementation testbeds for MHWMN -Operating systems and middleware for MHWMN SUBMISSIONS ----------- Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is eight (8) pages. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format), contact addresses, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses (text format) to the co-chairs Qing-An Zeng (qzeng(a)ececs.uc.edu) and Mieso Denko (denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca) by July 1, 2005.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ICEC] CfP: Workshop on Blurring the Boundaries between Learning, Enjoying and Working Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 10:31:55 +0200 From: Rauterberg, G.W.M. <G.W.M.Rauterberg(a)tue.nl> To: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> *Blurring the Boundaries between Learning, Enjoying and Working *A one-day Critical Computing Workshop http://www.sjul.org/boundaries05 boundaries05(a)umich.edu *Critical Computing* 20-24 August 2005 Aarhus, Denmark http://www.aarhus2005.org/ / //POSITION PAPERS due June 26 (July 25 for late acceptance, if space is available)/ *BOUNDARIES BETWEEN LEARNING, ENJOYING AND WORKING* People learn (only) in school, are productive (only) at work and enjoy themselves (only) elsewhere, right? No? That's the impression often imparted by information technology: entertainment software is distinct from productivity tools and both differ from educational technology. Blurring the boundaries between learning, enjoying and working will be increasingly critical as information technology matures, becomes more diverse and enters new dimensions of human existence. This need is already evident, for example, in efforts to incorporate "fun" as a design value for productivity tools, or to support understanding and solving of real-world problems in educational technologies. Research and design communities also reflect these boundaries, differing in values, practices and expertise. For instance, educational designers emphasize "reflective design" (stressing interpretation, understanding and reasoning), whereas productivity designers emphasize "behavioral design" (stressing use and experience), while entertainment designers emphasize "visceral design" (stressing appearance, touch, and feel). Development of boundary-blurring technologies will require understanding ways and implications of crossing the boundaries in both research and design settings. The purpose of the workshop is to examine, systematically, opportunities for and implications of research, design and development of integrated technologies, and explore ways of helping designers and researchers to cross boundaries. The objectives of the workshop are to develop an understanding of the opportunities for, limitations of and issues raised by blurring boundaries, and to outline a research agenda for technologies that allow people simultaneously to learn, enjoy themselves and be productive, and to do so across all the settings -- work, home, play -- in which they conduct their lives. *DISCUSSION TOPICS* Topics for discussion will primarily be derived from participants' suggestions and interests. However, they might include: Implications and Opportunities for Integrated Technologies o Are there venues for integrated technologies that are particularly appropriate or inappropriate? o Do integrated technologies pose special social or ethical concerns? o What conflicts might blurring boundaries present? E.g., automating subtasks to increase productivity vs. exposing them to increase learning. o Do integrated technologies introduce new or specialized computational problems? Benefits of Integrating Technologies o How might research or design communities benefit from looking across boundaries? o What do different research and design communities have to offer each other? Process and Methodological Changes o Do design processes and methodologies differ for different spheres of purpose or types of design, and what changes are needed for integrated technologies? o Do research questions and methods differ by purpose or type of design, and what changes are needed for integrated technologies? Research Agenda o How might viewing technology across boundaries affect research, design and development? o What research questions might be raised or answered by integration? o What research questions must be answered to achieve integration? o How can opportunities for research, design and development across boundaries be created and supported? * IMPORTANT DATES* June 26: Position papers due June 30: Notification of acceptance July 1: Early registration deadline July 25: Late position papers due (if space is available) Aug 1: Notification of acceptance (late position papers) Aug 20: Workshop takes place in Aarhus, Denmark _______________________________________________ icec mailing list icec(a)listserver.tue.nl http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec

September 2005, 9:00-12:30 Uhr Ort: Linz, Austria Einreichungsfrist: 15. August 2005 Moderation: Leonie Schäfer, EU Commission - DG Information Society & Media, leonie.schaefer(a)cec.eu.int Steffi Beckhaus, interactive media/ virtual environments, Universität Hamburg, steffi.beckhaus(a)uni-hamburg.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Motivation ---------- Digitale Spiele haben sich zu einem neuen, aktuellen Trend in der weltweiten Forschung im IT-Bereich entwickelt. Neben klassischen Spieltypen wie Shooter Games und Verfolgungsjagden entsteht eine Vielzahl neuer Spielformen. Diese neuen digitalen Spiele sind vielfach kooperativ, multimodal und haben ihren Handlungsort in einer virtuellen Umgebung. Die Spieler können sich an unterschiedlichen Orten befinden, jedoch auf eine gemeinsame virtuelle Spielplattform zugreifen und so miteinander kooperieren. Anwendung finden solche Spiele nicht nur im Unterhaltungsbereich, wie z.B. in der Form von Rollenspielen, sondern auch im Arbeitsbereich in der Simulation von komplexen Arbeits- und Produktionsprozessen. Diese neue Generation von digitalen Spielen stellt eine neue Herausforderung dar für das Design von spielgeeigneten Mensch-Computer Schnittstellen, der Nutzung mobiler Endgeräte, sowie der Gestaltung von kooperationsunterstützender Software. In diesem Workshop wollen wir uns speziell mit der Frage befassen, inwiefern Strukturen aus dem Bereich kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übertragbar sind auf eine Anwendung im Bereich der digitalen Spiele. Fragen hierzu sind z.B.: Welche Bedeutung haben Kooperation und Communities für den Erfolg eines digitalen Spiels? Welche Funktionalitäten und Ansätze können von kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übernommen werden? Welche Spieltypen würden davon besonders profitieren? Ebenso ist die Umkehrung der Frage von Interesse: Wie lassen sich die Erfahrungen in der Gestaltung und Entwicklung von Spielen auf das Design von kooperativen Arbeitsumgebungen übertragen? Viele digitale Spiele haben einen sehr immersiven Charakter. Durch welche Spielstrukturen wird dieser Effekt hervorgerufen? Kann man diese Strukturen auf kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen übertragen und dort einen ähnlichen Effekt erzielen? Welche Art von kooperative Arbeitsumgebungen würde davon profitieren? Ziel des Workshops ------------------ Das Ziel des halbtägigen Workshops ist es, für kooperative Spiele und kollaborative Arbeitsumgebungen: * existierende Strukturen und Erfolgsfaktoren digitaler Spiele und kooperativer Anwendungen zu untersuchen und diese auf ihre gegenseitige Anwendbarkeit zu überprüfen, * Szenarien zu entwickeln für zukünftige Anwendungen, * Forschungsziele zu definieren und diese thematisch und zeitlich zu gliedern. Zielgruppe ---------- Der Workshop richtet sich an Teilnehmer mit einem Hintergrund beispielsweise in der Entwicklung von Mensch-Computer Schnittstellen, CSCW, VR, Mixed Reality, Design, Usability und der Computerspiel-Entwicklung. Die Teilnehmer sollten diskussionsfreudig sein und bereit aktiv mitzuarbeiten. Gestaltung & Ergebnis des Workshops ------------------------ Der halbtägige Workshop wird schwerpunktmäßig in Form von Diskussionsrunden zur gemeinsamen Erarbeitung der vorangehend angeführten Ziele stattfinden. Die Beiträge der Teilnehmer und die Ergebnisse des Workshops werden auf der Workshop Website veröffentlicht. Anforderungen ------------- Die Teilnehmerzahl des Workshops ist beschränkt auf 20 Teilnehmer. Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme ist die Einreichung und Annahme eines Positionspapiers von einer halben bis einer Seite Länge, um den Workshop entsprechend des Profils der Teilnehmer gestalten zu können. Einreichungen per email an die Autorinnen sind möglich bis zum 15.August 2005. Das Positionspapier kann eine kurze Ideenskizze sein, ein aktuelles spiel-relevantes Projekt des Teilnehmers beschreiben oder auch nur das Interesse des Teilnehmers an einer Fragestellung formulieren. Diese Paper werden im Voraus allen Teilnehmern zugänglich gemacht und dienen als Grundlage für die Arbeit im Workshop.
