However, various applications and media formats may have different quality evaluation criteria and control parameters. For example, scalability and interactivity are very crucial performance metrics for 3D graphics scene model representation and delivery, while they may not be that important for some other multimedia applications. Thus, there is a strong impetus to develop new quality evaluation methodologies for various media formats under different multimedia application scenarios. Recently, cross-layer design has become a popular design methodology for enhancing Quality-of-Service (QoS) over various multimedia communications systems. However, most existing cross-layer designs for QoS provisioning in multimedia communications are mainly focused on improving network-oriented QoS such as throughput, delay, and jitter, while the multimedia application-oriented QoS have not been fully considered in the existing cross-layer design optimization. Therefore, quality-driven multimedia communications need to be extensively investigated under various communications scenarios involving audio, video, VoIP, image, and/or graphics. Under such a background, it is very important to highlight the importance of quality-driven cross-layer design as one of the enabling technologies for the next-generation quality-aware service-oriented multimedia networks. The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of quality-driven cross-layer designs for multimedia communications. Original completed and unpublished works not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: User perceptual quality enhancement methodology Media quality measurements for communications applications Optimized 3D graphics scene representation and transmissions Optimized image/video representation and transmissions Optimized audio/speech coding and transmissions Content-aware cross-layer design and optimization Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design Quality-driven cross-layer design architecture Quality-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control Quality-driven cross-layer MAC and routing protocols Cross-layer protocol stacks for quality support Performance evaluation of quality-driven cross-layer system design Standardization issues related to quality-driven cross-layer design Cross-layer design for P2P streaming Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks *Submission Procedure: * Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published at www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/tmm/infotmm.html.

by Éric Renault 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Dear all, Please find below the call for papers for the Third International Conference on the Latest Advances in Networks. Note that the deadline for submissions has been extended to Sept. 29th, 2008. Accept our apologize if you receive several copies of this email. With our kind regards, Eric Renault, on behalf of the ICLAN chairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C A L L F O R P A P E R S -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Conference on the Latest Advances in Networks (ICLAN'2008) http://www.iclanconf.org/2008/ December 10-12, 2008, Toulouse, France Technical co-sponsorship : IEEE France Scope: Deployment of communication networks in environments where mobility is needed and where infrastructures are not possible or damaged, has led to solutions mixing ad hoc and sensor networks with wired and/or wireless infrastructure networks. Obviously, these heterogeneous networks need new applications and services but generate new constraints. Indeed, interconnection of different technologies requires high quality of service and safe and secure data transmission between a source and a destination. In order to do so, adaptation or even modification of some protocols may be needed. The aim of the conference is to bring together scientists and engineers, whether from academia or industry, to exchange and discuss their experiences and research results about all issues of these new types of networks.

[Fwd: [Mycolleagues] Special Issue on MMOG Systems and Applications]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mycolleagues] Special Issue on MMOG Systems and Applications Datum: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:51:16 +0330 Von: Shervin Shirmohammadi <shervin(a)discover.uottawa.ca> An: mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br *Call for Papers* *Massively Multiuser Online Gaming Systems and Applications* *Special Issue of* *Springer’s Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP)* *Guest Editors: *Shervin Shirmohammadi, University of Ottawa, Canada Mark Claypool, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, U.S.A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Massively Multiuser Online Games (MMOG) are now widely used not only for gaming, but also for socializing, business and commerce, experimentation, and many other practical purposes. One could argue that MMOGs are the “killer app” that can bring Virtual Reality into the realm of eSociety, creating an environment with millions of people taking part in various activities and daily life, but electronically. This is evident from the fact that real companies are opening “virtual branches” in these online gaming platforms, such as clothing manufacturers, IBM, and CNN, to name a few companies present in Second Life. Virtual currencies such as Second Life’s Linden (or L$) are already being exchanged for real-world money, as are virtual items and virtual properties that are sold for real money. Massive numbers of users spend their time with their fellow players at online games like EverQuest, World of Warcraft, and Second Life. World of Warcraft, for example, has over ten million (10,000,000) users with a peak of over 500,000 players interacting at a given time in the digital world. There is no doubt that MMOGs have a great potential to become the corner stone of an eSociety platform bringing the massiveness of the real society into the digital realm. This special issue will cover enabling technologies and systems for MMOGs, as well as applications of MMOGs outside of gaming. The focus will be mostly on the “massive” aspect of games, but high-quality papers in real-time interactive multiuser games (albeit not massive) will also be considered if they address issues that can benefit massive games too. Hence, topics include, but are not limited to: * Networking support for massive number of players * Networked games (non-massive) * P2P architectures for better scalability * Zoning techniques, Area of Interest Management, and seamless player movement * Application-Layer Multicasting for massive user support * Performance evaluation and traffic/player pattern measurements * Audio/video conferencing in games * Latency compensation techniques * Content adaptation for players on heterogeneous receivers * Cheating: detection, avoidance, and repair * Multiuser mobile games * Case studies about applications of gaming in other disciplines such as business, pedagogy, biology, psychology, etc. Only papers that have not been published and/or submitted elsewhere will be considered. Exception will be made for previously-published high-quality conference/workshop papers, as long as they have been substantially extended in terms of technical content and evaluation. Papers should be no more than 20 pages, including figures and tables, formatted according to MTAP guidelines, please see: http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,4-40109-70-35538244… PDF submissions must be emailed directly to BOTH the guest editors at shervin(a)discover.uottawa.ca <mailto:shervin@discover.uottawa.ca> and claypool(a)cs.wpi.edu <mailto:claypool@cs.wpi.edu> before the submission deadline below. If the submission is an extended version of a previously-published conference paper, authors must also include explanation of what parts have been extended. Please check the CFP website for possible updates and/or changes http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~shervin/mmogsi/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Important Dates* Manuscript Submission January 15^th 2009 Notification of Decision February 15^th 2009 Final Papers due March 15^th 2009 Tentative Publication date before end of 2009 _______________________________________________ Mycolleagues mailing list Mycolleagues(a)grid.lrg.ufsc.br http://grid.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/mycolleagues

[Mycolleagues] CFP: CROWNCOM 2009: June 22nd - 24th 2009, Hannover, Germany
by Oyman, Ozgur 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

Dear Colleagues, The 4th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications (CROWNCOM 2009) will take place on June 22nd - 24th 2009, in Hannover, Germany. The aim of this conference is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that address the various aspects of cognitive wireless systems and technologies, including a broad range of communications, networking and implementation issues. Please note that the date of CROWNCOM 2009 falls in the week immediately following another important communications event, the IEEE Communications Conference (ICC 2009), to be held in Dresden, Germany, on June 14th-18th, 2009. The Call for Papers (CFP) for CROWNCOM 2009 can be found in plain text below, and the more detailed pdf version of the CFP is also included as an attachment. The URL for the conference website is www.crowncom2009.org, which will be updated periodically. It would be great if you could post this announcement in your lab, department, or institution, and pass it to your colleagues as appropriate. We are using multiple conference mailing lists for disseminating this conference announcement, and apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of the email. Best regards, Ozgur Oyman, Intel Research CROWNCOM 2009 Publicity Chair (USA) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### CROWNCOM 2009 4th International Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications June 22nd - 24th 2009, Hannover, Germany http://www.crowncom2009.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ### Brief description The owned spectrum allocation model in use today is believed to be obsolete. Firstly due to its intrinsic principle of fixed resource allocation that leads to a supposed spectrum scarcity, later revealed to be a question of non-efficient utilization. Secondly comes into play the need of introducing new wireless applications and services, which have experienced a huge growth in the last couple of decades, and are now supposed to cope with a multitude of already deployed standards. Both scenarios motivate the use of dynamic spectrum access in order to turn primary licensed networks into dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs). This lends itself to cognitive radio, an enabling technology that will benefit several types of players and help to implement a more efficient approach regarding spectrum requirements in the future. The aim of this conference is to bring together the state of the art research contributions that address the various aspects of cognitive wireless systems and technologies, including a broad range of communications, networking and implementation issues. We seek original and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine or conference. ### Topics of interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Track 1 - New Trends - Regulations, standardization and implementation for Cognitive Radio - Dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs): o Secondary markets o Business models o Industrial role - Trust and security mechanisms Track 2 - Interference and Coexistence Analysis - Interference metric modeling - Beamforming, MIMO and anti-jamming channel coding as interference avoidance strategies - Radio resource management and dynamic spectrum sharing - Spectrum sensing mechanisms and protocol support - Wireless network co-existence - Ultra-Wideband cognitive radio systems Track 3 - Networks - Game theory applied to mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) - Self-organizing mesh networks and autonomic communications - Applications of cognitive networks (e.g. emergent and public safety networks) - Bio and AI-inspired algorithms - New architectures and platforms for cognitive radio & software defined radio - Radio access protocols and algorithms for the PHY, MAC, and Network layers - Cross-layer cognitive algorithms - Quality-of-service provisioning Track 4 - Research Projects - Cognitive Radio & Networks related projects are invited to present their work at CrownCom 2009. ### Co-Sponsors Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), Germany Institute of Communications Technology, LUH, Germany Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (ICST) ### Technical Co-Sponsors The European Association for Signal and Image Processing (EURASIP) Center for Research and Telecommunication Experimentation for Networked Communities (CREATE-NET) ### Important Dates Manuscript submission deadline: February 23, 2009 Tutorial proposals deadline: February 23, 2009 Special session proposals deadline: November 3, 2008 Notification of decision: April 20, 2009 Camera-ready deadline: May 4, 2009 ### Instructions for Authors Papers must represent high quality and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

[Tccc] CFP: Journal of High Speed Networks, Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
by Suleyman Uludag 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

We apologize for multiple receipts of this CFP. ================================================= http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~jhsn/dirissues/VOL18.html -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------- Journal of High Speed Networks Special Issue on QoS Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks -------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is a promising technology that offers solutions for low-cost broadband Internet access by extending the local area networks to wide area. Unlike mobile ad hoc and sensor networks, the mesh nodes in a WMN are stationary and have access to unlimited power. Typically, mobile clients connect to the mesh nodes and use the backbone to communicate with one another over large distances and with nodes on the Internet through a gateway. One of the distinct characteristics of WMNs is that the mesh nodes can employ multiple radios and utilize multiple channels which thereby bring a potential to improve the throughput and bandwidth of the network. In addition, directional and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas can be employed. Such technologies can be exploited for end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning that can be used to offer some level of service differentiation to facilitate multimedia/real-time data communication, Video on Demand, VoIP, etc. over WMNs. Prior research on QoS provisioning in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks has mostly addressed the challenges under the single channel paradigm. While the research community has recently started to study the QoS challenges in WMNs, the current focus has largely been on bandwidth guarantees for traffic going out of the WMN to the Internet via the gateway(s). Therefore, further research is needed to provide QoS guarantees for intra-WMN traffic not only on bandwidth but also on delay, delay jitter and reliability so that WMNs can be realized as a technology in the near future. The goal of this special issue is to collect papers in the area of QoS provisioning in multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-hop WMNs. We solicit papers which will address QoS challenges under multiple radios and channels, provide the foundation for applications such as Video on Demand, teleconferencing and VoIP, and deal with channel assignment and routing problems simultaneously. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - QoS routing with multiple radios/channels - Providing delay and delay jitter guarantees - Cross-layer design and optimization - Dynamic channel assignment with QoS routing - MIMO techniques for QoS provisioning - Handling mobility of mesh clients during QoS support - Performance analysis - Wireless mesh network testbed design and measurements - Fault-tolerance and QoS provisioning - Security and QoS provisioning - Utilization of cognitive radio for QoS provisioning - Centralized vs. distributed QoS algorithms Important Dates: - Manuscript Due: November 14, 2008 - Acceptance Notification: January 14, 2009 - Final Manuscript Due: February 4, 2009 Submission Guidelines: All submissions to the Journal must be in English and based on original research of some fundamental significance. The paper must not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere, although part of the paper may have been published in conference proceedings. A manuscript largely based on a conference paper must be so identified. It is expected that the author(s) have obtained necessary approval or clearance prior to submitting the paper. All submissions to the Journal will be reviewed by competent referees and are considered on the basis of their technical correctness, contribution, novelty, readability and usefulness to the Journal's readership. The font size should be at least 10 and the number of pages should not exceed 15. IEEE transaction style is preferable. Please send the papers in pdf format to kemal(a)cs.siu.edu with a title of Special Issue of Journal of High Speed Networks.

16 Sep '08

================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 6th IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing (MP2P'09) http://www.samrg.org/mp2p/2009 Dallas, Texas, USA, March 16-20, 2009 In conjunction with the 7th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom'09) http://www.percom.org/ Technical funding by EuroNGI (*): http://www.eurongi.org/ (*) Final approval pending ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing is a networking and distributed computing paradigm which allows the sharing of computing resources and services by direct, symmetric interaction between computers. The advance in mobile wireless communication technology and the increasing number of mobile users, extend the arena of P2P computing to encompass mobile devices and wireless networks. The special characteristics of mobile environments, such as highly variable connectivity, disconnection, location-dependency, resource contraints, and diversity in wireless networks as well as carrier-grade performance requirements bring new challenges for research in mobile P2P communication and computing. MP2P'09 is intended to serve as a continuing forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of mobile P2P computing and communications. It will address the challenges, technologies, and architectures leading to real-world solutions that provide users with direct access and control of their critical peer- based information and services, regardless of location or device. The principal theme of MP2P'09 is the peer-to-peer paradigm as used in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETS), sensor networks, and large-scale heterogeneous overlays. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Peer-to-peer overlays for MANETs and sensor networks - Hybrid P2P architectures for integrated MANETs and wide-area networks - Large-scale heterogeneous P2P systems - Mobility in federated overlay architectures - Impact of network mobility on P2P systems and services (mobile IP / MANET) - P2P-based information sensing and fusion - MP2P performance & measurement studies - Semantic routing & overlay routing in MP2P - Delay tolerant MP2P systems - Resource and service discovery in MP2P - Resource exchange mechanisms in MP2P - Peer access and control in mobile environment - Data exchange and rendering techniques for mobile P2P devices - Secure communication protocols for MP2P - Nature-inspired algorithms for MP2P - Novel MP2P applications & services - Theoretical issues on mobile information diffusion - MP2P SIP - MP2P messaging systems, monitoring systems, searching systems, games, etc. - Location dependent MP2P services - MP2P over different bearer services: 2.5/3G (GPRS/UMTS) / 802.11 (WLAN) - MP2P & operator/provider requirements - Reliability and carrier-grade performance of MP2P services Paper Submission: ----------------- Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors MUST submit their papers through the EASYCHAIR web site (http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=mp2p09) in three steps: * Creation of a personal account on EASYCHAIR (if the author does not already have one) * Registration of the paper (requiring a short abstract of up to 150 words) * Upload of the paper. Only in pdf format Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All submissions will be reviewed and selected based on their originality of the paper.
