-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ACM Multimedia Service Composition (MSC 05) Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 11:26:30 -0400 From: Xiaohui Gu <xiaohui(a)us.ibm.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Multimedia Service Composition (MSC05) Singapore, November 13, 2005 http://www.l3s.de/msc05/index.html AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------- Service-oriented architectures promise to introduce a maximum of flexibility and reus-ability of components into multimedia applications. Since most multimedia applications consist of several complex steps, the composition of basic services to achieve more com-plex goals is a mission critical problem. Moreover, important parameters for QoS have to be closely monitored and aggregated along the service chains to predict or guarantee certain values for the execution of complex workflows. Service composition is also a concept strongly discussed and researched in the Web community today. Web services are expected to take over an essential part of everydays responsibilities and their composition is necessary to extend their benefits to even com-plex tasks and value chains. However, most of these Web-based concepts and constructs today suffer from being generally invariant to data types including the new datatypes that are being heavily explored in the multimedia community. Using these well-understood and standardized datatypes the efficient provisioning and improved reusability of compo-nents becomes feasible. Thus, the move from data-driven to service-driven architectures promises to open up a whole new field of value adding multimedia applications dynami-cally built on top of basic components. MSC05 provides a forum for presenting new challenges and research results in multime-dia service composition. Its predecessor was held in the framework of the Brave New Topics (see www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_braveMMservice.htm) at ACM Multimedia Conference 2004 in New York, USA. We invite researchers, and industrial practitioners to participate and share their knowledge in this forum. We solicit the following types of papers: * Research papers (up to 10 pages) * Application/experience papers (up to 10 pages) All accepted papers will be published by the ACM within a dedicated volume for the workshops of ACM Multimedia 2005. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------- Papers should address specific challenges for service composition in multimedia systems, and propose or evaluate methods, architectures and techniques to overcome these chal-lenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - integration of web and multimedia service composition frameworks - system integration aspects in service composition - service composition support in middleware systems - session management for service compositions - service routing and aspects of distribution - role of service discovery in dynamic composition - semantic enhancements for service discovery /selection - service composition and meta-data representation - semantic distances between advertised service capabilities - ontology-based service capability descriptions (e.g. OWL-S) - service interoperability, interface design and impact on QoS - service level agreements and QoS guarantees of service chains - multimedia service personalization and customization - multimedia application decomposition and service modeling - multimedia process workflows and service composition lifecycle PAPER SUBMISSION AND IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished papers.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP -- IEEE JSAC Sampling The Internet: Techniques and Applications]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP -- IEEE JSAC Sampling The Internet: Techniques and Applications Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 14:16:07 +0100 From: Iannaccone, Gianluca <gianluca.iannaccone(a)intel.com> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. All information can be found at http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/sampling_internet.html. Deadline for manuscript submission: OCTOBER 1, 2005. ======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications SAMPLING THE INTERNET: TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS Scope As the Internet continues to grow rapidly in size and complexity, it has become increasingly clear that its evolution is closely tied to a detailed understanding of network traffic. Network traffic measurements are invaluable for a wide range of tasks such as network capacity planning, traffic engineering, fault diagnosis, application and protocol performance profiling, and anomaly detection. This large and diverse set of applications raises the question of how to monitor the Internet in an efficient and scalable way. In the case of active monitoring (where probe packets are sent across the network to infer specific properties) the scalability issue arises from the size of the Internet and the potentially large number of end systems that one needs to instrument, as well as the number of probing experiments that one must conduct. Intuitively, sampling is an essential component of scalable Internet monitoring. Broadly speaking, sampling is the process of making partial observations of a system of interest, and drawing conclusions about the full behaviour of the system from these limited observations. The observation problem is concerned with minimising information loss whilst reducing the volume of collected data. It is this reduction that makes the collection process scalable. The way in which the partial information is transformed into knowledge of the system as a whole is the inversion problem. The inversion is in general imperfect and error-prone. The aim of this issue is to bring together work from researchers and practitioners devoted to the understanding of the practical and theoretical issues related to all aspects of sampling the Internet. In this context, sampling may take various forms. A classic example is to observe only a subset of the packets carried over a link, and then estimate traffic parameters which apply to all packets. Alternatively, one could target a subset of routers with packet probes in order to infer network characteristics such as the topology or routing matrix. Examples abound from a wide variety of application areas within Internet measurement, management, and analysis. Independent of subject area, papers will be in scope if they focus substantially on the sampling aspects of the problem under study, for example by exploring the tradeoff between observation and inversion processes, revealing the limitations of inversion techniques, analysing their properties, or proposing new ones, or by providing new insights by explicitly recognizing the impact of implicit sampling in many measurement studies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sampling and inverting traffic metrics with passive or active systems. - Internet end-to-end measurements seen from a sampling standpoint. - Sampling aspects of network topology inference. - Impact of sampling on anomaly detection. - Mechanisms for sampling live Internet traffic or collected traces. - Theoretical studies of the sampling/inversion problem (e.g., accuracy, complexity). - Distributed and adaptive sampling techniques. - New sampling methods. Submission guidelines Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via email to jsac-sampling at sophia.inria.fr according to the following timetable: Manuscript submission: October 1, 2005 Acceptance notification: March 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: June 1, 2006 Publication: 4th quarter 2006 Guest Editors Chadi Barakat INRIA Planète group 2004, route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia Antipolis France Chadi.Barakat at sophia.inria.fr Gianluca Iannaccone Intel Research 15 JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0FD United Kingdom gianluca.iannaccone at intel.com Jim Kurose Department of Computer Science University of Massachusetts Amherst MA 01003 United States kurose at cs.umass.edu Darryl Veitch CUBIN (ARC Special Research Ctr) Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering University of Melbourne Victoria 3010 Australia dveitch at unimelb.edu.au _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE MHWMN'05 (11 July 2005, EXTENDED DEADLINE) Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 12:17:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Final Call for Papers (EXTENDED DEADLINE - 11 July 2005) ======================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 IEEE MASS 2005 (http://www.mass05.wpi.edu/). 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 11, 2005. Note: Some selected high quality papers from the workshop will be published at JPCC (Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications) Special Issue on Key Technologies and Applications of Wireless Sensor and Body-area Networks. Selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in the special issue IMPORTANT DATES: -------------------------------- Paper submission: July 11, 2005 (EXTENDED) Notification of acceptance: August 5, 2005 Camera-ready papers: August 26, 2005 WORKSHOP GENERAL CHAIR: ------------------------------------------------ Anup Kumar Computer Engineering and Computer Science Department University of Louisville, KY 40292, USA Email: ak(a)louisville.edu WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS: --------------------------------------- Qing-An Zeng Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, OH 45221-0030, USA Email: qzeng(a)ececs.uc.edu Mieso Denko Department of Computing and Information Science University of Guelph N1G 2W1, Ontario, Canada Email: denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca PUBLICITY CHAIR: ---------------------------- Kui Wu Department of Computer Science University of Victoria V8W 3P6, British Columbia, Canada Email: wkui(a)cs.uvic.ca PROGRAM COMMITTEE: -------------------------------------- Boukerche, Azzedine, University of Ottawa, Canada Caffery, James, University of Cincinnati, USA Cheng, Maggie, University of Missouri-Rolla, USA Cheng, Xiuzhen, George Washington University, USA Conrad, James, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA Dahlberg, Teresa, University of North Carolina, USA Datta, Suprakash, York University, Canada Ghosh, Ratan, Indian Institute of Technology, India Huang, Qingfeng, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) Inc., USA Leung, Victor C.

[Fwd: WWW2006 Call for Papers]
by Lars Wolf 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: WWW2006 Call for Papers Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 13:19:53 +0100 From: WWW2006 Conference Information <enquiries(a)www2006.org> To: (WWW Research Community) WWW2006 CALL FOR PAPERS The International World Wide Web Conference Committee (IW3C2) invite you to participate in the Fifteenth International World Wide Web Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland on May 22nd-26th 2006. The first international WWW conference was held in 1994 at CERN where the Web was born. Since then, the conference series has been the prime venue for both academics and industries to present, demonstrate, and discuss the latest ideas and developments about the Web. WWW2006 will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. The technical program will include refereed paper presentations, special interest tracks, plenary sessions, panels, and poster sessions. Tutorials and workshops will run before and throughout the conference. A Developers track, devoted to in-depth technical sessions designed specifically for web developers, will run in parallel throughout the conference. The conference will also be running a programme of high-level, non-technical presentations for professionals in media, government, education and commerce to inform and debate the issues relating to the latest Web technology developments. See http://www2006.org/ for regular updates on conference information. WWW2006 is held in association with ACM, BCS, ECS and W3C. REFEREED PAPERS TRACK WWW2006 seeks original papers describing research in all areas of the web. Topics include but are not limited to: # E* Applications: E-Communities, E-Learning, E-Commerce, E-Science, E-Government and E-Humanities # Browsers and User Interfaces # Data Mining # Hypermedia and Multimedia # Performance, Reliability and Scalability # Pervasive Web and Mobility # Search # Security, Privacy, and Ethics # Semantic Web # Web Engineering # XML and Web Services # Industrial Practice and Experience (Alternate track) # Developing Regions (Alternate track) Detailed descriptions of each of these tracks appear at http://www2006.org/tracks/ Submissions should present original reports of substantive new work. Papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. We will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. New for WWW2006: We solicit submissions of "position papers" articulating high-level architectural visions, describing challenging future directions, or critiquing current design wisdom. Accepted position papers will be presented at the conference and appear in the proceedings. Both "regular papers" and "position papers" are subject to the same rigorous reviewing process, but the emphasis may differ --- regular papers should present significant reproducible results while position papers may present preliminary work rich in implications for future research. All papers will be peer-reviewed by reviewers from an International Program Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and will also be accessible to the general public via http://www2006.org/. Authors of all accepted papers will be required to transfer copyright to the IW3C2. POSTERS Posters provide a forum for late-breaking research, and facilitate feedback in an informal setting. Posters are peer-reviewed. The poster area provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent web-related research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. It gives conference attendees a way to learn about innovative works in progress in a timely and informal manner. Formatting and submission requirements are available at http://www2006.org/posters/. TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS A program of tutorials will cover topics of current interest to web design, development, services, operation, use, and evaluation. These half and full-day sessions will be led by internationally recognized experts and experienced instructors using prepared content. Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, leaders, and practitioners to explore current web R&D issues through a more focused and in-depth manner than is possible in a traditional conference session. Participants typically present position statements and hold in-depth discussions with their peers within the workshop setting. For more information and submission details see http://www2006.org/workshops/. PANELS Panels provide an interactive forum that will engage both panelists and the audience in lively discussion of important and often controversial issues. For more information and submission details see http://www2006.org/panels/.

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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley IJCS special issue on Energy-Efficient Network Protocols and Algorithms on Wireless Sensor Networks Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 09:53:18 -0400 (EDT) From: Jun Zheng <vjzheng(a)site.uottawa.ca> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ========================================================== * Call for Papers * * * * A Special Issue * * of * * Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems * * on * * Energy-Efficient Network Protocols and Algorithms * * for Wireless Sensor Netowrks * * * ========================================================== Wireless sensor networking is an emerging technology that promises a wide range of potential applications in both civilian and military areas, and has therefore received tremendous attention from both academia and industry in recent years. A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a large number of inexpensive and small nodes with sensing, data processing, and communication capabilities, which are densely deployed in a region of interest and collaborate to accomplish a common task, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and industry process control. Distinguished from traditional wireless networks and ad hoc networks, WSNs are characterized of dense node deployment, unreliable sensor node, frequent topology change, and severe power, computation, and memory constraints. These unique characteristics and constraints present many new challenges to practical realization of WSNs, such as energy conservation, self-organization, fault tolerance, etc. In particular, sensor nodes are usually battery-powered and should operate without attendance for a relatively long period of time. In most cases, it is very difficult and even impossible to change or recharge batteries for these sensor nodes. For this reason, energy efficiency is of primary importance for the operational lifetime of a sensor network. To prolong the lifetime of a sensor network, energy efficiency must be considered in almost every aspect of sensor network design, not only at the physical layer but also at the link layer and the network layer. From the networking perspective, energy efficiency must be considered in the design of various network protocols and algorithms, including those for topology discovery, self-organization, medium access control, routing, data aggregation, fault-tolerance, etc. An energy-efficient network protocol or algorithm can provide significant power savings in individual sensor nodes and thus prolong the lifetime of the entire network. However, most existing network protocols and algorithms for traditional wireless ad hoc networks cannot effectively address the power constraint and other constraints of sensor networks. To realize the vision of sensor networks, it is imperative to develop various energy-efficient network protocols and algorithms in order to efficiently use the limited power in each sensor node and prolong the lifetime of the network. The aim of this special issue is to present a collection of high-quality research papers that focus on energy-efficient network protocols and algorithms for WSNs. We are soliciting original contributions that were previously unpublished and are currently not under consideration by any other journal. As applicable to this theme, topics of interests include but are not limited to: - Topology discovery and self-organization - Medium access control (MAC) - Routing and data dissemination - Multicasting, geocasting, and broadcasting - Quality of service routing - Energy and resource management - Query processing and data aggregation - Localization and time synchronization - Fault-tolerance and self-healing - Performance modeling and analysis Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the publication format described in the Instructions to Authors (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jabout/5996/ForAuthors.html). There will be only one round of technical reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers requiring only minor to moderate revisions. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscripts (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 MB) to jzheng(a)ieee.org according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: January 1, 2006 Acceptance notification: May 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: July 1, 2006 Tentative publication date: Late 2006 Guest Editors Dr. Jun Zheng School of Information Technology and Engineering University of Ottawa 800 King Edward Street Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Canada Tel: (613)562-5800x6243 Fax: (613)562-5664 Email: jzheng(a)ieee.org Dr. Petre Dini Cisco Systems, Inc. 170 West Tasman Drive San Jose, CA 95134-1706, USA Tel: (408) 853-4050 Fax: (408) 527-6351 Email: pdini(a)cisco.com Prof. Abbas Jamalipour School of Electrical & Information Eng.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] LOCAN2005: Deadline extended to July 7th Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2005 02:34:40 +0200 From: Pedro M. Ruiz <pedrom(a)dif.um.es> To: 'IETF Manet' <manet(a)ietf.org> CC: mip6(a)ietf.org, tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear all, The deadline for the following workshop has been extended to July 7th, Please, find below the revised CFP. Regards, Pedro M. Ruiz University of Murcia http://ants.dif.um.es/staff/pedrom/ We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2005 1st International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks in conjunction with MASS-2005 (www.mass05.wpi.edu) Washington, DC, USA, November 7-10, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline extended to July 7th. SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the researh community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer. The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behaviour achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The main objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *Medium access control *Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks *Hybrid networks and wireless Internet *Security in ad hoc networks *Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery *Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks *Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks *Quality of service in medium access control and routing *Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks *Neighborhood discovery and mobility management IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Manuscript Submission: July 7, 2005 (Extended deadline) Acceptance Notification: July 29, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: August 26, 2005 PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, as proceedings of the MASS2005 workshops.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CFP] ACM MM Workshop on Service Composition Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 08:31:08 +0200 From: Christian Becker <christian.becker(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ** please apologize multiple copies of this call ** Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Multimedia Service Composition (MSC’05) Singapore, November 13, 2005 http://www.l3s.de/msc05/index.html AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------- Service-oriented architectures promise to introduce a maximum of flexibility and reus-ability of components into multimedia applications. Since most multimedia applications consist of several complex steps, the composition of basic services to achieve more com-plex goals is a mission critical problem. Moreover, important parameters for QoS have to be closely monitored and aggregated along the service chains to predict or guarantee cer-tain values for the execution of complex workflows. Service composition is also a concept strongly discussed and researched in the Web community today. Web services are expected to take over an essential part of everyday’s responsibilities and their composition is necessary to extend their benefits to even com-plex tasks and value chains. However, most of these Web-based concepts and constructs today suffer from being generally invariant to data types including the new datatypes that are being heavily explored in the multimedia community. Using these well-understood and standardized datatypes the efficient provisioning and improved reusability of compo-nents becomes feasible. Thus, the move from data-driven to service-driven architectures promises to open up a whole new field of value adding multimedia applications dynami-cally built on top of basic components. MSC’05 provides a forum for presenting new challenges and research results in multime-dia service composition. Its predecessor was held in the framework of the Brave New Topics (see www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_braveMMservice.htm) at ACM Multimedia Conference 2004 in New York, USA. We invite researchers, and industrial practitioners to participate and share their knowledge in this forum. We solicit the following types of papers: * Research papers (up to 10 pages) * Application/experience papers (up to 10 pages) All accepted papers will be published by the ACM within a dedicated volume for the workshops of ACM Multimedia 2005. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------- Papers should address specific challenges for service composition in multimedia systems, and propose or evaluate methods, architectures and techniques to overcome these chal-lenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - integration of web and multimedia service composition frameworks - system integration aspects in service composition - service composition support in middleware systems - session management for service compositions - service routing and aspects of distribution - role of service discovery in dynamic composition - semantic enhancements for service discovery /selection - service composition and meta-data representation - semantic distances between advertised service capabilities - ontology-based service capability descriptions (e.g. OWL-S) - service interoperability, interface design and impact on QoS - service level agreements and QoS guarantees of service chains - multimedia service personalization and customization - multimedia application decomposition and service modeling - multimedia process workflows and service composition lifecycle PAPER SUBMISSION AND IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished papers.

Co-organized by : INRIA (RESO Team) and HITACHI Europe _http://www.iwan2005.net_ ** *Call For Papers* Active and programmable networking has, over the past several years, laid the foundations of providing easy, but robust, introduction of new network services to devices such as routers and switches by adding dynamic programmability to network equipment. Network programmability and service deployment architectures can bring the right services to the customer at the right time and location. The methods and technologies explored in active and programmable networking research have helped to realise the trend towards ad-hoc networks, autonomic computing and communications, sensor networks and content-aware distribution. Also, active and programmable networks will continue to play an important role in future network architectures where the Quality of Service aspects of performance, security and resilience are crucial. IWAN 2005 brings together members of various communities using active and programmable network techniques to address the above challenges, and it provides a forum for discussion and collaboration involving researchers, developers, service providers and potential users. We encourage the submission of papers that cover all aspects of active network based communication, including foundations of robust languages and security mechanisms, active transport, active services and service deployment, active terminals, and active management. In addition, the meeting will focus on relating active techniques to customer needs and services. It is expected that most submissions will include proofs of concept and/or quantitative results. However, we welcome high quality descriptive contributions where the ideas are particularly novel or where the concepts introduced are likely to influence the work of others. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following active and programmable networking topics: * Architectures and new concepts for programmability and flexibility in networks * Standardization of frameworks * Secure and robust network operation * Formal descriptions, analysis, and methodologies * Self-organizing and self-managing networks * Cognitive networks * Design and development methodologies and tools * Overlay networks * Storage in networking * Active and programmable technologies for Grids * Security within programmable and active frameworks * Applications and experiments * Service creation, deployment, and management * Programmable network elements and devices * Network processor platforms * Hardware and software platforms for autonomous infrastructures * Mobile and ad-hoc networking; mobile platforms * Programmability and software radios * Content- and context-aware distribution * Autonomic programmable networking * Building complex systems *Information for Authors:* Submissions should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 10 single-spaced pages (5,000 words) or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 150 word abstract, and list of keywords. Identify the author responsible for correspondence, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: COMENTS 2005 Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 22:45:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Anupam Banerjee <anupamb(a)andrew.cmu.edu> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org COMNETS-2005 2nd IEEE/Create-net International Workshop on Deployment Models and First/Last Mile Networking Technologies for Broadband Community Networks www.comnets.org Date: Oct 7th, 2005 Location: Boston, USA Based on the success of its predecessor, the First International Workshop on CN and FTTx, held in Dallas, TX in October 2003, COMNETS 2005 is planned to cover the whole spectrum of issues related to community networks and will integrate the main aspects of planning, design, implementation and operation of Community networks. Community networks have evolved during the last decade in North America and, more recently, in Europe, from the concept of freenets or civic nets tothe idea of open access networks, and represent a dramatic shift from the classical telecom infrastructures, service provisioning methods and business models. The design of community networks requires the solution of challenging engineering tasks. The first objective of the workshop is to address network technology issues that include the optimal combination of wire-based and wireless technologies for the access part, the integration of the core/distribution and access networks, the provisioning of end-to-end quality of service for multimedia and other applications, the design of scalable applications and services tailored to the bandwidth and the access quality. On the other hand, CNs, often being created, owned and operated with the participation of a local or regional government, are based on specific business models and service provisioning methods. Thus, the second objective of the workshop is to address the related business and social issues that include business models for planning, implementing, and operating CNs, legal/regulatory environment, planning of e-government, e-health, e-learning services. Case studies from all over the world are most welcome.Original unpublished papers are solicited in areas including but not restricted to the following: •Guidelines for network design and technology selection •QoS support and service differentiation •Implementation/operation experience •New technology testing experience •Wireless community networks •Wireline (PLC, Fiber, xDSL) community networks •Legal frameworks: experiences and new challenges •Business oriented tests and case studies •Municipal fiber, customer owned fiber networks •Public-private ownership structures •Killer applications for community networks (e-gov, e-health applications, e-learning) •Providing entertainment services on CNs •Case studies and experiences Important Dates: June 30th 2005 Paper submission deadline Aug 31th 2005 Acceptance Notification Sept 15th 2005 Camera Ready papers Oct 7th 2005 Workshop Organizing committee General and Program Chairs: Ashwin Gumaste(Fujitsu Laboratories) Hakki Cankaya(Alcatel Research) Csaba A.
