Applications like mobile TV, IPTV, on-demand streaming, and peer-to-peer video sharing have fundamentally changed the content distribution landscape, and have been accelerating a social and engineering revolution in media distribution and consumption. To achieve the ultimate goals of total freedom in self-expression, seamless mobile access, and any time anywhere media consumption, technology advances in various areas need to be reexamined and joined utilized under a coherent optimization framework to reach an efficient end-to-end media delivery solution. New models, metrics, and methodologies in both source, and channel coding, distributed and collaborative communications are needed to intelligently adapt the multimedia content to suit user preferences, meet device and network constraints, and achieve better communication resource utilization. The source coding and adaptation decisions of media sources need to be reconciled with the limited network resources, end-user preferences, and resource allocation schemes at network nodes. Distributed optimization schemes like pricing and game theoretical approaches are needed to improve resource allocation and management efficiency. This special issue seeks original contributions of highquality papers that report the recent advances in multimedia coding, adaptation, and transmission approaches that support multiuser collaboration and optimize the network performance for multimedia communications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Source/channel coding/adaptation techniques for increasing the elasticity of multimedia traffic * Collaborative multicast schemes utilizing source and channel diversity for efficient multimedia distribution * Distributed resource allocation and management for multimedia communication * Network utility maximization based on collaborative multimedia communication * Pricing models for collaborative multimedia transmission * Game theoretical models for multimedia contents interactions Authors should follow the Advances in Multimedia manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.com/journals/am.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [IFIP-EC-NEWS] NEW: International Journal of Computer Games Technology - An Open Access Journal Datum: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 11:10:33 +0200 Von: Rauterberg, G.W.M. <G.W.M.Rauterberg(a)tue.nl> An: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> ** IFIP ENTERTAINMENT COMPUTING NEWS SERVICE ** http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec ** Send all news to: icec(a)listserver.tue.nl **************************************************** ** NOTE: Please reply to article's originator, ** not this IFIP EC News Service **************************************************** Dear Colleague: I am writing to let you know of the launch of the International Journal of Computer Games Technology, which aims to bring together both the research and development aspects of games technology, covering the whole range of entertainment computing and interactive digital media. The focus will be on three research and development frontiers: first, to expand the technology frontier in terms of both hardware and software for games, second, to validate innovative procedures including algorithms and architectures for games, and finally, to explore novel applications of games technology both for entertainment and serious games. The journal is a peer-reviewed full "Open Access" journal, i.e., the journal enables world-wide, barrier-free, online access to the full text of published research articles. All interested readers can read, download, and/or print any articles without requiring a subscription to the journal. In addition, we allow our open access authors to retain their own copyright as long as they sign a Creative Commons Attribution License, which allows readers to freely access, print and redistribute an article as long as it is properly cited. The journal has distinguished editorial board members with extensive academic qualifications, ensuring that the journal will maintain high scientific standards and have a broad international coverage. Another important aspect is the review and publication speed of the journal since the publisher's electronic Manuscript Tracking System (MTS), which is located at http://www.hindawi.com/mts/, helps reduce the review time significantly. We are then aiming for an average publication time of a few weeks following acceptance.

Distinguished papers accepted and presented in CoNET-07, will be invited to contribute in the book Cooperative Wireless Communications, Auerbach Publications, Taylor&Francis Group. Scope and Topics: ================= Cooperative wireless communications and networking is emerging as a promising technology to enhance system performance by sharing resources among wireless nodes. With cooperation at all layers of the protocol stack, the wireless network can achieve higher throughput, higher system reliability, higher energy efficiency, lower bit-error rate, and smaller packet loss rate. A variety of research in recent years have actively focused on design, simulation, modeling, and applying cooperative communications in wireless ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks, etc. International standards organizations have been initialized various activities to apply cooperation mechanisms in the wireless LAN, PAN and MAN. For instance, the IEEE 802.16j working group is actively calling for contributions for relay metropolitan networks. The idea of cooperative wireless communications and networking can be tracked back to the work of the theoretic properties of relay channels. By sharing antennas in a multi-user environment, single-antenna wireless devices enable a virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system that allows them to achieve transmit diversity, and hence obtain advantages of MIMO with reduced size, cost, and complexity of the hardware/software. Upon cooperation at physical, MAC, network, and application layer, various cooperative signaling methods are widely explored and many new mechanisms are under development with respects to routing, medium access, location management, scheduling, energy management, and so on. This workshop intends to bring together researchers, engineers, and students to present new results, describe work in progress, and explore relationships among their diverse approaches. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: . Cooperative diversity . Virtual MIMO . Channel capacity . Cooperative channel coding . Cognitive radio networks . Cooperating services . Grid Computing . Middleware . Performance analysis, simulation and experiment . Services, applications and systems . Testbed, prototype, practical system and case studies . Resource management . Mobility management . Energy management . Security management . Cross-layer cooperation and optimization . Cooperative and distributed relaying . Relay networking . Regenerative cooperative systems . Protocols for relay and multi-hop channels . Distributed relay-assignment algorithm . Routing, packet forwarding, multicast . Cooperative scheduling .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] SANET 2007: call for papers Datum: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 09:37:13 +0200 Von: Andrea Passarella <a.passarella(a)iit.cnr.it> An: cost 290 290 <Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi> [Apologies for possible cross posting] ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS SANET 2007 First ACM Workshop on Sensor Actor Networks http://www.lifl.fr/POPS/SANET2007 Montreal, Canada, Sept. 10, 2007 Organized and run in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2007 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2007/ ====================================================================== Purpose The advent of nano-technology and advances in communications has made it technologically feasible and economically viable to develop low-power devices that integrate general-purpose computing with multi-purpose sensing and wireless communications capabilities. It is expected that sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, to environmental, establishing ubiquitous wireless sensor networks that will pervade society redefining the way in which we live and work. Recently, in an attempt to integrate sensor networks in the fabric of human activities it has been recognized that it would be beneficial to augment sensor networks by either actuators or actors. Actuators are simple devices programmed to take immediate, one-shot, action in response to sensory input. Actors are more sophisticated entities that, in addition to actuating can provide a meaningful, long-term, interaction with the environment. This long-term interaction presupposes intelligent coordination with both the sensory data but also with anticipated changes in the environment. The resulting augmented version of sensor networks is commonly referred to as Sensor Actor Networks (SANET). SANET 2007 has for stated goal to be a high-profile workshop that brings together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification, and implementation of architectures and protocols for current and future applications of SANETs. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in SANET * Modeling and simulation of SANET * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Distributed control in sensor-actor networks * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in SANET * Probabilistic integration in SANET * SANET control and management * SANET security and robustness * SANET architectural and operational models * Applications and prototypes Paper Submission Submit a full paper of about 8 pages (ACM single-space, double-column format), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. Accepted papers will be published by published by ACM Press and distributed at the workshop; copies of the Proceedings will also be available for sale from ACM after the workshop. Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system Important Dates Manuscript Submission: May 14, 2007, 11:59 GMT Acceptance Notification: June 18, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: July 13, 2007 Program Co-Chairs Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Swittzerland Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA David Simplot-Ryl, University of Lille, INRIA, France Program Committee see web site. _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290

Nonetheless, their performance evaluation and analysis have been conducted mostly through software simulations (e.g. using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Very recently, some research efforts have been directed towards measuring real-world commercial and experimental networks; constructing models based on real-world data and using prototypes to more realistically and comprehensively evaluate the suggested solutions and more specifically validate the assumptions and the conclusions reached via the simulation approach. The monitoring, measurements, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks poses a new set of unique challenges due to the unique inherent properties of these systems and due to the characteristics of the wireless transmission medium. The aim of this workshop, whose 1st edition was held in 2006 in Torremolinos (Spain), is to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of performance measurements, monitoring, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks, including, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: IEEE Wireless Comm. Mag. Special issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Mobility Management in All-IP Mobile Networks" Datum: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 09:46:49 +0300 Von: Nikos Passas <passas(a)di.uoa.gr> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for Papers IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Architectures and Protocols for Mobility Management in All-IP Mobile Networks" The success of next generation mobile networks will rely much on the degree of seamless mobility support among heterogeneous technologies. Seamless mobility is a many-faceted challenge that needs to be addressed to alleviate or eliminate today's restrictions on supported media, access technologies, devices or vendors. As we move in this direction, maintaining reliability, availability, quality of service and security at optimal levels across different systems is extremely important. Most modern mobile access technologies include advanced mechanisms for the support of intra-system handover and mobility to ensure seamless service provision. These mechanisms require proper parameterization and real-time adjustment according to a large range of traffic, QoS and channel conditions. On the other hand, inter-system handover and mobility management across heterogeneous networks are challenging problems that require efficient and reliable interoperation of the various schemes deployed in the different systems. Furthermore, simultaneous mobility must be supported, i.e., when both end hosts are mobile and they move at the same time, the session should not be dropped (as may happen with Mobile IPv6). Recent efforts are focusing on providing seamless handover and service continuity among access systems through close coordination with the QoS support and resource management mechanisms. Effort is placed into architectures that integrate different access technologies under a common IP backbone so that seamless mobility support will exploit the benefits of each technology. Several standardization activities are currently underway by different bodies. 802.21 is an IEEE emerging standard that aims at enabling seamless handover between networks of the same type as well as handover between different network types, also called Media Independent Handover (MIH). The standard provides information to allow handing over to and from several popular networks through different handover mechanisms. 3GPP is defining mobility from circuit-switched to IMS domain in the form of voice call continuity (VCC) and seamless mobility between different packet-switched domains belonging to existing and evolving 3GPP access networks and non-3GPP access networks as a part of System Architecture Evolution effort. This special issue will be devoted to the architectures, protocols, and mechanisms for mobility management and seamless handover support in next generation mobile networks. We seek original, high-quality and previously unpublished contributions, not currently under review by another magazine or journal. Contributions emphasizing recent advances and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Handovers in IEEE 802.16e - Handovers in Evolved UMTS - Comparison between 3GPP and IETF MM protocols - Mobility between 3GPP and non-3GPP radio access networks - Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) - Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management (HMIPv6) - Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers for 3G, WMANs and WLANs - Mobility Management using Proxy Mobile IPv4/v6 - Localized Mobility Management - Simultaneous mobility support (when both end hosts are mobile) - Architectures and protocols for mobility management in heterogeneous environments - Seamless intra- and inter-system handover - Media Independent Handovers (IEEE 802.21) - Security issues / solution in mobility management - Inter-domain mobility: AAA and other architectures and protocols All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.

The aim of the Network Simulation Tools workshop is thus to bring together academic and industry researchers from both the Networking and the Simulation communities to discuss current and future trends in network simulation and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. ** PAPERS ** This workshop does not focus on network research results based on the use of simulation tools: we are looking for original contributions on the design and the use of the tools themselves. The following topics are of particular interest. Development of new simulation environments: - parallel and distributed simulations - real-time simulation of networks within the setting of a larger real network testbed - integration of real-world network applications in conventional simulation tools - textual and graphical post-processing analysis tools - large-scale network simulations - simulation accuracy evaluations Development of new simulation models especially in, but not restricted to, the areas of: - Wireless and mobile networks: 3/4G, 802.11, 802.16/WiMAX, etc., - Peer to peer systems, - Sensor networks, and, - Delay-tolerant networking, ** IMPORTANT DATES ** Full Papers due: April 30, 2007 Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2007 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: July 20, 2207 Conference Date: October 22, 2007 ** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ** Conference language is English.
