Yarvis (mark.d.yarvis(a)intel.com) Intel Research and Development Intel Corporation, JF3-206 2111 N.E. 25th Ave. Hillsboro, OR 97124-5961 Subject Coverage Since people frequently work beyond their office desk, it is expected that the next generation of communication networks will include rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly and wirelessly without any networking infrastructure, such as the Internet or infrastructure-based wireless networks. Instead, users form mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). These networks are self-configurable and self-healable, and therefore easily adopted in a home environment and more cheaply deployed and maintained in a business environment. While ad hoc networks are rapidly gaining in popularity, group communication technologies have already shown their importance in education, entertainment, business, military, and other industries. However, thus far those technologies have mainly been designed for use in the Internet. This special journal issue is focused on development of group communication solutions in ad hoc networks. This work is significant to many interesting applications. Examples are strategic collaboration among soldiers in a battlefield, collaborative data processing such as tracking and localization in sensor networks, collaborative intrusion detection among a group of distant surveillance cameras, to name just a few. Also relevant to ad hoc networks is the concept of peer-to-peer (P2P). P2P networks are commonly used in the Internet to enable services that leverage a collection of peer nodes rather than a single infrastructure server, making them resilient to the failure of an individual node. These properties are attractive for applications deployed in ad hoc wireless networks, which have similar requirements. Research on group communications in ad hoc networks is still in its infancy. There are many open issues due to the deviation between resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service required by group communication services. Areas of interest for this special journal issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Ad hoc networking architectures with inherent P2P communication support - Use of P2P technology for ad hoc network formation and management - Multicast routing in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks - Algorithms for reliable delivery and congestion control in ad hoc networks - Location and mobility management in ad hoc group communications - Algorithms for self-configuration, maintenance, and stabilization - Data management, operating system, and middleware for ad hoc group communications - Security and privacy in ad hoc group communications - Collaborative multimedia systems in ad hoc networks - Collaborative signal processing and information retrieval in ad hoc networks - Innovative applications of group communication in ad hoc networks Paper Submission Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Please submit full papers in PDF via email to one of the guest editors. Submitted papers must not be previously published nor submitted for publication elsewhere.

Note: DSOM 2004 Deadline Extended to June 7th, 2004. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ 15th IFIP/IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS: OPERATIONS & MANAGEMENT (DSOM 2004) _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ CALL FOR PAPER November 15-17, 2004 Davis, CA, USA http://www.dsom2004.org _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Recent efforts in the network and system computing community have been to create systems that are goal-driven, that use resources optimally and transparently to the clients, are uniformly manageable irrespective of the inherent heterogeneity and are autonomic. On the other hand, in the academic research community and grid computing community, many networked computing infrastructures, such as Emulab and Planetlab, have been built and shared among research scientists to run various types of research experiments. Utility Computing (UC) is a paradigm that enables distributed resources (network, systems, applications, services) being provided to users on-demand and in a uniform manner. A utility infrastructure thus has to be dynamic, virtualized, secure and automated, in nature and operate on a wide range of resources. While the UC paradigm itself will very likely enable many exciting distributed applications over the Internet in the near future, technologies related to the management of networks, computing systems, and resources under utility computing systems must be carefully studied and examined. Therefore, this year's DSOM workshop will focus on infrastructure, techniques and methods that can be used to enable the paradigm of utility computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: · Management Architectures · Automation for enabling self-management, self-configuration, and policy-based management · Management Information Models · Use of service-oriented architectures (web services, grid services) for management · Provisioning/Maintaining the Performance and QoS Management · SLA and business-objective driven management · Security, Privacy, and Isolation · Fault Management and Fault Tolerance · Monitoring, event and fault handling · Closed-loop management · Configuration, Accounting, Billing · Experience with distributed Management of Systems, Applications, Networks · Inter-domain management · Adaptive Services and Applications · Transaction Monitoring and Management · Integration with Standardized frameworks, management APIs and models (CIM/WBEM, OSI/TMN, CORBA, SNMP, JMX etc) · Implementation, Instrumentation, and Experience Important Paper Deadline: Submission Now June 7th, 2004 Notification July 12, 2004 Camera ready Aug 5, 2004 Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

[ieee-cnom] Autonomic and architectures for MMNS 2004 (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 22 May '04

22 May '04

Call for Presentations for the two Application Sessions for MMNS 2004. This is patterned after the very successful Application Sessions done in NOMS 2004. The web links are: MMNS 2004: https://www.itsharenet.org/MMNS Application Sessions for MMNS 2004: https://www.itsharenet.org/MMNS/Application_Sessions Autonomic Session Chair: John Strassner Multimedia Architecture Session Chair: Raymond Liao CfP is below: This year, MMNS 2004 is introducing the concept of an "application session". These sessions focus on the management of multimedia networks and services from an industry and end-user perspective. Particular emphasis will be placed on the experiences of enterprises, Service Providers, vendors, and customers in the following two areas: * The move towards implementing network autonomics * New architectures and mechanisms to support mission critical or next generation wireless/multimedia systems and services The first session includes any and all work on making all components of the managed environment (e.g., network devices, applications, servers, middleware, and others) behave in an autonomic fashion. The second session includes any and all work on management and control architectures, and the mechanisms that they use, to support next generation wireless/multimedia systems and services. The application sessions therefore complement the main conference track, which is focused on theory and research results. Its aim is to help encourage discussions between academia and industry, and to emphasize the practical application and problems encountered when building and managing multimedia systems and services. Please note that "vendor advertisements" will not be allowed. 1. How it will be organized The Application Session will consist of two groups of sessions. The first, focusing on Network Autonomics, will be chaired by John Strassner. The second, focusing on architectures, will be chaired by Raymond Liao. Both sessions will have their own application committee, which will be responsible for reviewing and selecting papers submitted to each application session. The Application Session will also use EDAS for paper submissions. 2. Organizational Details of the Application Session The paper format should be written in English. The presentation must be original that is not currently under review, and has not been previously published in another conference or journal. Submissions will be in the form of presentations, with the top half consisting of graphics, and the bottom half made up of explanatory text. Submissions should be no longer than 14 pages, including title and references. A sample PowerPoint file will be available from the MMNS website for use as a reference. Submissions using PowerPoint or PDF will be accepted. To submit your paper, go to <https://www.itsharenet.org/MMNS/Papers> Paper Submission. There is no specific limitation to topics for these workshops, as long as they relate to the two themes listed above. For further infomation, please contact the Session Chairs, <mailto:john.strassner@intelliden.com> John Strassner and <mailto:rliao@ttb.siemens.com> Raymond Liao. 3. Important Dates (for both application sessions) Submission Deadline: July 2, 2004 Notification of Acceptance: August 2, 2004 Final Version: August 23, 2004 4. Proceedings All application sessions will be published in their own separate proceedings. _______________________________________________ Cnom mailing list Cnom(a)orion.lrg.ufsc.br http://orion.lrg.ufsc.br/mailman/listinfo/cnom

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networked Entertainment - @ GLOBECOM 04 Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 20:01:40 -0700 From: Giovanni Pau <gpau(a)cs.ucla.edu> To: gpau(a)CS.UCLA.EDU <gpau(a)cs.ucla.edu> Our Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies. Regards Giovanni Pau, Marco Roccetti & S.S. Lee ==================== CALL FOR PAPERS ==================================== 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'04) http://nime04.csr.unibo.it/nime04 GLOBECOM 2004 - Satellite Workshop November 29th 2004 Dallas, TX, USA Submission Deadline June 25th 2004 ============================== The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. Many of the technologies pioneered in emerging entertainment applications have also found use in a large spectrum of more serious settings, ranging from telemedicine to in-home, in-car, in-flight multimedia distribution platforms. The success of the entertainment technology is confirmed by several facts. Take, for example, the two following cases: in 2003 the revenues generated by games have yet again surpassed those provided by the movie industry; the Apple iTunes online music service has hit a record share of almost 20% in the MP3 player market in the last semester of 2003. Further, while in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences (e.g., video on demand), 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. Simply put, today's entertainment technology is able to create "entertainment spaces" in which people experience a world where games, movies, songs, plus news, sport events and shows, are all made available for instant enjoyment with just one click. Another beneficial aspect of high- tech entertainment is that this phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, however, 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 Internet (along with its protocols, architectures, programming styles and technological solutions) may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The first 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 Multimedia Networking 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: Networked Technologies for Entertainment - Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games - Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session - Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...) - Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for Entertainment - Media and Device Adaptation - Music and Movie Distribution - Next Generation Wireless Technologies for Entertainment (IEEE802.11n, UWB and Beyond) - Opportunistic Multi-hopping and Opportunistic Networks for Entertainment - QoS and Security Support for Entertainment - Resource and Service Discovery Technologies (P2P, LDAP, …) - Technologies for Networked In-Home/Car/Flight/Train Entertainment - TV-Centric and Broadcast Networks for Entertainment Emerging Entertainment Applications - Agent-based Entertainment - Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality - Evolutionary Entertainment - Field Trials - Interactive Television and Theater - Massive Multiplayer Games - Mobile and Wireless Entertainment - Networked Entertainment - Networked Narrative and Digital Interactive Storytelling - Networked Video, Music and Sound Design - Pervasive Entertainment - Personalized and User-Adapted Television - Sport, News and Entertainment - Virtual Technology and Virtual Environments for Entertainment - Wearable Entertainment - Wireless and Mobile Gaming - Testbed and Performance Evaluations Guidelines for Paper Submission Original papers from the above mentioned topics or related areas will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process. The accepted papers will be published in the IEEE-sponsored workshop proceedings. Submission guidelines should be strictly followed. 1. Submit an electronic copy of the paper in a .pdf or .ps format through the EDAS paper submission site (hhtp://edas.info). 2.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: ACM MC2R special section on Discovery and Interaction of Mobil eServices Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 14:44:14 -0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organization: University of Guelph To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R) Special Section on Discovery and Interaction of Mobile Services With Guest Editor Qusay H. Mahmoud Department of Computing & Information Science University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, N1G 2W1 Canada qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca Mobile services are mobile/wireless computing applications and services that can be either pushed to user's handheld wireless devices (push mobile services) or downloaded and installed, over the air (pull mobile services). In order to use such services, users of wireless devices need to locate them; they can be located on remote servers or even on peers' devices in a mobile ad hoc setting (or MANET). Therefore, one of the fundamental challenges is the discovery of relevant services in mobile ad hoc networks, but more importantly, selecting a suitable service and interacting with it to accomplish a useful task. Several available service discovery protocols are not suitable for MANETs simply because they have been designed for infrastructure-based networks. In addition, such protocols offer no location-based and context-aware selection mechanisms, and feature minimal interaction models that are not suited for wireless devices with limited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. The aim of this special section is to present most recent research findings on "discovery and interaction of mobile services". We are seeking papers that address discovery, selection, and interaction issues of mobile services. Submissions must be original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: - Discovery protocols for mobile services - Selection and interaction techniques - Security and privacy issues in discovery protocols - Location-dependent and/or context-aware service discovery mechanisms - XML/SOAP for discovery protocols - Lightweight discovery protocols - Agents-based discovery, selection, and interaction - Performance evaluation of discovery protocols Publication Schedule -------------------- Papers are due: August 1, 2004 Notifications: October 1, 2004 Final papers: November 15, 2004 Publication: First available issue (January or April 2005) Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors should email an electronic copy (PDF only) of their papers to Qusay H. Mahmoud, qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca, by August 1, 2004. Submissions should be no longer than 12 pages in MC2R format (two columns, 11pt font).

Der Workshop richtet sich gleichermaßen an Wissenschaftler und Praktiker. Im Fokus unseres Workshops befindet sich erstens eine ganzheitliche Sichtweise des E- und M(Mobile)-Learnings, d. h. die integrierte Betrachtung von Pädagogik, Technik und Wirtschaftlichkeit (=> Einsatzkonzepte). Zweitens wird der Wirtschaftlichkeit des öffentlich finanzierten und privatwirtschaftlichen E-Learnings noch einmal besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt, da in Zeiten rasch abnehmender öffentlicher Förderung erfolgreiche Geschäftsmodelle (auch Business Modelle oder Pläne genannt) von besonderer Bedeutung sind. Insbesondere der zweite Workshopschwerpunkt findet in der Fachwelt heute, gemessen an seiner Wichtigkeit, noch viel zu wenig Beachtung. Themenschwerpunkte des Workshops sind im Einzelnen: 1) Geschäftsmodelle für E-Learning (inkl. M-Learning) und damit verbundene ökonomische Aspekte 2) Geschäftsmodelle für E-Learning in der privatwirtschaftlichen Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildung und in der öffentlichen Ausbildung 3) Spezielle Geschäftsmodelle für M-Learning 4) Spezielle Geschäftsmodelle für lernobjektorientiertes E-Learning 5) Förderung und Sicherstellung der Nachhaltigkeit von E-Learning 6) Evaluation, d. h. Analyse und Bewertung von E-Learning 7) Allgemeine und spezielle Arten von Kosten/Nutzen-Analysen für E-Learning 8) Qualitätsmanagement im E-Learning 9) Strategische, taktische und operative Einsatzkonzepte für E-Learning (inkl. M-Learning), z. B. E-Learning-Vorgehensmodelle zur Auswahl, Einführung oder Wartung von Anwendungen und Systemen 10) E-Learning-Referenzmodelle und -Musterszenarien 11) Lernobjekte und Standardisierung, z. B. von Technik und Inhalten sowie Mehrfach- und Wiederverwendbarkeit im E-Learning 12) Infrastrukturen für E- und M-Learning und Integration in Organisationen 13) Interdisziplinäre Ansätze beim Einsatz von E-Learning und Auswahlkriterien für E-Learning 14) "Good- und Best-Practice" sowie "Worst-Case" Beispiele und Szenarien Fristen und Termine (Anmeldung, Einreichung von Beiträgen usw.): - Ab sofort: Interessensbekundung, z.
