-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] PATHNets 2004 - Call for Papers Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2004 13:51:37 -0700 (PDT) From: Murari Sridharan <murarisridharan(a)yahoo.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies. CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************************************** * 1st Workshop on Provisioning & Transport for Hybrid Networks (PATHNets) * * (co-located with BroadNets 2004) * * San Jose, CA, October 25 2004 * * * PATHNets 2004 * *********************************************************************************************** * http://www.pathnets.org <http://www.pathnets.org/> * *********************************************************************************************** SCOPE Whether it is image visualization, IP telephony, high-volume file transfers, or large-scale sciences like climate modeling, high-energy physics, and bioinformatics, these and other bandwidth-hungry applications are forcing us to re-think our current network theories and implementations. Today's network transport protocols are incapable of providing the network characteristics needed by large-scale applications. The highly flexible sharing relationships among geographically distributed computers are fundamentally changing the way we think about application development. Wide-area network infrastructure is evolving in such a way that our current network theories and implementations are being obsoleted. In the past and to some degree today, the wide-area infrastructure is primarily packet-switched with electronic signaling and switching. However, this infrastructure is rapidly changing, with high-speed optical routers interconnected within a circuit-switched optical core and with slower packet-switched networks in the periphery. The ubiquitous TCP protocol and its variants were originally designed and optimized for low speed transfers on shared networks where bandwidth is a critical and limited resource. To improve the transport performance on high bandwidth-delay product links, researchers have proposed many TCP variants like Scalable TCP, HighSpeed TCP, FAST TCP, etc. However, the current gigabits-per-second (peak) throughputs achie! ved using these variants are for short durations under heavily simulated conditions with manual parameter tuning. Large-scale applications require orders of magnitude more throughput to be available during the entire lifetime of the application! Recently the lambda-grid community has proposed a range of rate-based protocols like Reliable-Blast UDP (RBUDP) and SABUL which have performed better than TCP in general. However, it is not clear whether TCP-based protocols, non-TCP-based protocols, or a combination of both will be required for hybrid networks. How the protocol suite must evolve to the changing infrastructure and how network provisioning will be deployed in these hybrid networks will be the key networking issues over the next five to ten years. The PATHNets workshop invites original, unpublished, full papers that address research issues and real world case studies on the topics of interest that includes, but not limited to, the following: -Dynamic provisioning over a centrally-managed core vs. a distributed-managed core. -Real-time circuit set-up and scheduling algorithms. -Dynamic call admission and online reconfiguration techniques for hybrid networks -Transport protocols for a circuit-switched networks: TCP vs non-TCP. -Transport protocols for hybrid networks: TCP based vs non-TCP based, or a dynamic adaptation of both. -Heterogeneous routing and control algorithms that enable transport protocols to co-exist with an optical core. -Adaptation of transport protocols to operate over WANs spanning multiple medium types, e.g. optical and wireless, which can result in specific hops seeing higher error rates and subsequently, higher packet losses. -Design, architecture, and evaluation of provisioning systems. -Design, architecture, and evaluation of transport protocols. SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 20 double-spaced pages, including references, figures and tables. All submissions should be submitted electronically in Postscript or Adobe PDF format through the EDAS web site( http://edas.info ) <http://edas.info%20)/>Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.

Dear TPC & OC member, please distribute the attached CFP in all possible lists, you know including the various national lists you may know or maintain. Best Regards the IM'2005 TPC Chairs CALL FOR PAPERS ********************************************************************** 9th IFIP/IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT (IM'05) 15-19 May, 2005 Nice, France http://www.ieee-im.org/ ********************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES Submission : August 23, 2004 Notification : November 26, 2004 Cameray Ready : January 15, 2005 ********************************************************************** "Managing New Networked Worlds" The Ninth IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2005) will be held 16-19 May 2005 in Nice, France. IM 2005 will present the latest technical advances in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Held in odd-numbered years since 1989 and taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS, IM 2005 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). We are witnessing the dawn of a new era in networking. New networked worlds emerge in which connectivity becomes increasingly ubiquitous and the infrastructure blends in seamlessly with business functions, applications, and the supported environment. These new worlds are no longer only characterized by the increasing heterogeneity and number of devices, but also by properties such as convergence, context awareness, accelerated service lifecycles, virtualization of resources, massive P2P infrastructures, unprecedented security challenges, and much more. Further, new types of networks are emerging such as sensor networks, agent networks, storage-area networks, and grid-based networks. All of this incurs new challenges and opportunities for network management and the ways in which it is approached, requiring management technology to evolve as rapidly as the new networked worlds. IM 2005 will be organized into technical sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature application sessions focusing on practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and vendor exhibits. In the tradition of previous events, we strive to make the IM 2005 Symposium the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee which includes many of the most respected experts in the field. --------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL PROGRAM --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, as well as proposals for tutorials, panel discussions, poster demonstrations, or birds-of-a-feather sessions.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP- 1st Int. Workshop of the EU Network of Excellence DELOS on Digital Library Architectures Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 12:50:07 +0200 From: Can Türker <tuerker(a)INF.ETHZ.CH> 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ Last CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------ Digital Library Architectures: Peer-to-Peer, Grid, and Service-Orientation First International Workshop of the EU Network of Excellence DELOS on Digital Library Architectures S. Margherita di Pula (Cagliari), Italy, 24-25 June, 2004 http://www.dbs.ethz.ch/delos ------------------------------------------------------------ DELOS is a new interdisciplinary EU FP6 Network of Excellence with a broad vision: Future digital libraries (DLs) should enable any citizen to access human knowledge any time and anywhere, in a friendly, multi-modal, efficient and effective way. The main objective of the DELOS network is thus to define and conduct a joint program of activities in order to integrate and coordinate the ongoing research activities of the research teams in the field of DLs for the purpose of developing the next generation digital library technologies. This first workshop is devoted to the architectural infrastructure of future DLs. The objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in the architecture and related basic services that allow to build and operate DLs and to identify ongoing research directions. Ideally the infrastructure combines concepts and techniques from the following fields * Peer-to-Peer Data Management * Grid Middleware * Service-oriented Architecture Peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures allow for loosely coupled integration of information services and sharing of information such as recommendations and annotations. Different aspects of peer-to-peer systems (e.g. indexes, and P2P application platforms) must be combined. Grid computing middleware is needed because certain services within digital libraries are complex and computationally intensive (e.g., extraction of features in multimedia documents to support content-based similarity search or for information mining in bio-medical data). The service-oriented architecture (SoA) provides mechanisms to describe the semantics and usage of information services. Moreover, in a SoA we have mechanisms to combine services into workflow processes for sophisticated search and maintenance of dependencies. It is obvious that elements of all three directions should be combined in a synthesis for future DLs architectures. Therefore, a main goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussing the development and integration of building blocks and services for DLs infrastructures from these and related areas. In the spirit of a workshop we ask for extended abstracts describing ongoing research and development. ------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract Submission ------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions in form of extended abstracts, not exceeding two pages based on Springer's LNCS style, should be sent in PDF to tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch before April 24, 2004. Accepted papers will be published in the DELOS workshop proceedings. ------------------------------------------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract Submission Deadline: April 24, 2004 Notification of Acceptance: May 10, 2004 Camera-Ready Full Version: June 14, 2004 This workshop is co-located with SEBD 2004 - the 12th Italian Symposium on Advanced Database Systems. ------------------------------------------------------------ Program Committee ------------------------------------------------------------ Maristella Agosti (University of Padua, Italy) Elisa Bertino (University of Milano, Italy) Donatelli Castelli (CNR-ISTI, Italy) Stavros Christodoulakis (Technical University of Chania, Greece) Wilhelm Hasselbring (OFFIS Oldenburg, Germany) Yannis Ioannidis (University of Athens, Greece) Martin Kersten (CWI Amsterdam, Netherlands) Liz Lyon (UKOLN Bath, United Kingdom) Erich Neuhold (FhG Darmstadt, Germany) Hans-Jörg Schek (ETH Zürich, Switzerland/UMIT Innsbruck, Austria) Heiko Schuldt (UMIT Innsbruck, Austria) Can Türker (ETH Zürich, Switzerland) Gerhard Weikum (MPI Saarbrücken, Germany) Pavel Zezula (Masaryk University Brno, Czech Republic) ------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Organization ------------------------------------------------------------ Maristella Agosti, Chair University of Padua Department of Information Engineering Via Gradenigo 6/a I-35131 Padova, Italy Email: maristella.agosti(a)unipd.it Hans-Jörg Schek, PC Chair ETH Zurich and UMIT Innsbruck Email hans.joerg.schek(a)umit.at Can Türker, Co-Chair ETH Zurich Email: tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Can Türker Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich Institute of Information Systems ETH Zentrum, IFW C47.2 CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland ----------------------------------------------------------- Tel: +41-1-63-27248 Fax: +41-1-63-21172 Email: tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch WWW: http://www.dbs.ethz.ch/~tuerker ----------------------------------------------------------- Informationen zum bislang einzigen Buch, das nicht nur die zentralen Sprachkonstrukte der aktuellen Norm SQL:2003 behandelt, sondern auch die wesentlichen Unterschiede zu den SQL-Dialekten von Oracle, DB2, Informix und Postgres aufzeigt, gibt es unter http://www.dpunkt.de/buch/sql.html. -----------------------------------------------------------

Dear Friend, As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is BATES ALAN a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 10% for you and for your time. God be with you. BATES ALAN

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: IEEE Comm. Mag. CALL FOR PAPERS: Entertainment everywhere .. Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2004 13:29:05 +0200 (CEST) From: Marco Roccetti <roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it> To: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de CC: Marco Roccetti <roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it> dear Lars, I hope the following CfP may be of some interest for your research group. I apologize if you receive it more than once. Best regards Marco Roccetti ______________________________________________________________________ Prof. Marco Roccetti Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Informazione - Universita' di Bologna Mura Anteo Zamboni, 7 Tel. +39 051 2094503 40127 Bologna ITALY Fax. +39 051 2094510 URL: http://www.cs.unibo.it/~roccetti e-mail: roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it ---- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE FEATURE TOPIC: ENTERTAINMENT EVERYWHERE: System and Networking Issues in Emerging Network-Centric Entertainment Systems BACKGROUND: The experience of bringing the Internet into our lives deeply is now shared by millions of people. Take the USA, for example. It is reported that more than a fifth of American households has a high-speed, always-on, Internet access, and an increasing number of them is exploiting wireless technologies to distribute the broadband connection throughout the rooms of their homes. With such a high-speed, always-on, connection a drastic revolution is coming in the way people watch movies and news, listen to music, and play games. This change has been driven fundamentally by two dominant factors: First, the technological advances of computer-based digital multimedia technology (high quality video and sound) have provided consumers with good motivations to upgrade their home entertainment systems (e.g., from mechanical VHS tape drives to digital DVD). Second, (wireless) networking technologies have enabled the possibility to shift what they first consumed on their desktop PC in the office to their digital TV equipment in the living room, as well as to the front pockets in their jackets. All this mean that in an entertainment-equipped house we might easily find a broadband entertainment center built on the top of a Cat-6 Ethernet cable infrastructure or on a Wi-Fi network. Such an entertainment platform might be comprised, for example, of a connection from the computer to the digital stereo or the TV devices, as well as of an interconnected PlayStation2 or XBox governed by programmable TiVo equipment for online play. In essence, what is really new, nowadays, is that we know what tomorrow's entertainment technology will bring to us: a ``magic box'' where every game ever thought, every movie ever made, every song ever sung, plus news, sport events and shows, will be available for instant enjoyment with just one click on a button. While interest for conducting research in this area was moderate for a long time, recently, instead, great opportunities have arisen in academia, as well as in industry, for developing researches in the field of computer-based entertainment systems, especially focused on the provision of networking and system support to entertainment. Obviously, all these exciting technological advances have raised a number of interesting research questions: How can the Internet native language (i.e. the TCP/IP protocol) take over this complex scenario for scaling the delivery of entertainment contents to very large numbers of users? How can digital entertainment be delivered efficiently to small devices such as PDAs and cell phones? How can new system development styles, like the peer-to-peer style for example, have influence on the architecture of computer-based entertainment systems? How can the employed protocol be integrated to optimize the distribution of entertainment contents? SCOPE OF CONTRIBUTIONS: This Feature Topic solicits paper submissions from all researchers involved in the field of computer-based entertainment to provide an opportunity to publish state-of-the art original papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Networking and System Support for Entertainment Systems - Wireless and Mobile Technologies for Entertainment - Wireless Multimedia for Entertainment - Networked Systems for Music and Movie Distribution - Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Multiplayer Games - Games on Mobile and Resource-constrained Devices - Games and Wireless Technologies - Networked In-Home Entertainment Systems - Networked In-Car/Flight/Train Entertainment Systems - Interactive TeleVision and Interactive Digital Storytelling - Networked Technologies for Sport and Entertainment - Wearable Networked Technologies for Entertainment - Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality Technologies for Entertainment - Integration and Interoperability Issues in Entertainment Systems Prospective authors should e-mail their manuscripts as a postscript or pdf attachment to the guest editors by November 01, 2004. (Please see http://www.comsoc.org/~ci for the authorrs guidelines.) The following is the timetable for this feature topic publication: SCHEDULE FOR SUBMISSIONS: Manuscript Submission: November 01, 2004 Acceptance Notification: January 15, 2005 Final Manuscript Due: March 01, 2005 Publication Date: May 2005 Guest Editors Barcin Kozbe Ericsson Inc, 11121 Willows Rd, NE Suite 101 Redmond, WA 98052 USA barcin.kozbe(a)ericsson.com Marco Roccetti University of Bologna Mura Anteo Zamboni, 7 40127 Bologna ITALY roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it Mehmet Ulema Manhattan College Riverdale, NY 10471-4098 USA mehmet.ulema(a)manhattan.edu
