[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Multimedia Streaming in Ad hoc Networks at DMS 2004]

10 Feb '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Multimedia Streaming in Ad hoc Networks at DMS 2004 Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2004 20:40:24 -0500 From: Duc.Tran(a)notes.udayton.edu To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS Special Session on MULTIMEDIA STREAMING IN AD HOC NETWORKS at the 2004 International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS ’04) Website: http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms04.html Hotel Sofitel, San Francisco Bay, California September 8 - 10, 2004 Multimedia streaming is one the most popular services on the current Internet. Its already-high demand is even on the rise as the Internet users have started to be familiar with peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies which enable them to share contents between one another directly. Streaming in the P2P manner, in contrast to the traditional client/server approach, takes advantage of existing end-system computational and networking resources, thus allowing economical clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire service community. However, multimedia content is resource demanding while user computing devices are not as powerful as are content servers. Consequently, designing a good decentralized streaming scheme in a large-scale peer-to-peer environment is challenging. The problem becomes more of a challenge due to the ad hoc behavior of peers; they can leave and join the system freely at any time. As people tend to work beyond their office desk, it is also expected that the next generation of communication networks includes 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 without any networking infrastructure such as the Internet and infrastructure-based wireless LANs. In other words, the users form a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). As multimedia streaming becomes an integrated part of an increasing number of applications and wireless networks are emerging to dominate the communication environment of the future, it is interesting and worthwhile to investigate multimedia streaming solutions for MANETs. There are many open issues regarding this investigation due to the deviation between the resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service desired by multimedia streaming users. This special session seeks original contributions of high-quality papers that address novel systems challenges towards the success of multimedia streaming deployment in peer-to-peer and wireless ad hoc networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Information theories to support ad hoc multimedia streaming * Modeling, measurement, and performance study on ad hoc multimedia streaming * Internet P2P multimedia streaming * P2P multimedia content distribution networks * Ad hoc overlay solutions for multimedia streaming * Live streaming, video on demand, and video conferencing in wireless ad hoc networks * Network and transport protocols for streaming in wireless ad hoc networks * Management, QoS, and security aspects in streaming over wireless ad hoc networks * Streaming applications in sensor networks * Implementations of multimedia streaming in ad hoc networks Important Dates March 31, 2004 Paper submission due June 1, 2004 Notification of acceptance July 1, 2004 Final manuscript due July 1, 2004 Early conference registration due Special Session Co-Chairs Hung Q. Ngo, University at Buffalo, SUNY (hungngo(a)cse.buffalo.edu) Thinh Nguyen, Lawrence Livermore National Lab (thinhq(a)eecs.berkeley.edu) Duc A. Tran, University of Dayton (duc.tran(a)notes.udayton.edu) Information for Authors Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers in PS or PDF format to one of the co-chairs via electronic mail. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished work, and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. The first page of the paper should include the authors' names, affiliations, fax/telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The first page should also include a less-than-200-word abstract. The camera-ready version for an accepted paper will be no more than 6 pages in IEEE double-column standard format. Contributions will be reviewed by at least three referees from both the program committee and external reviewers for originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance, and technical contents on basis of papers. The accepted papers will be published in the 2004 DMS conference proceedings. Special Issue of Journals Top ranked accepted papers will be fast-tracked to a special issue of an international journal, subject to the review by the program committee. Papers suggested for the special issue will then be reviewed by external reviewers following the standard procedure of review stipulated by the international journal. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

by Lars Wolf 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Computer Special Issue on Sensor Networks (Note: Deadline extended to Feb 16) Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2004 10:35:24 -0800 From: Mani Srivastava <mbs(a)ee.ucla.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, SIGMOB(a)ACM.ORG, SIGCOMM-MEMBERS(a)ACM.ORG, MOBICOM(a)ACM.ORG Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. Please note the deadline extension relative to previous postings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE COMPUTER SPECIAL ISSUE ON SENSOR NETWORKS IEEE Computer seeks articles for a special issue on sensor networks, to appear in August 2004 . Guest editors are David Culler from the University of California, Berkeley, Mani Srivastava from the University of California, Los Angeles, and Deborah Estrin from the University of California, Los Angeles. Distributed systems of embedded smart sensors and actuators promise unprecedented capabilities for the instrumentation and monitoring of the physical world including: temperature, vibration, air pressure, chemicals, even voice and video data. Proponents envision a host of novel applications for sensor networks, from earthquake structural failure analysis to rainforest habitat research. The small and many characteristics of sensor networks have fostered research in disciplines that have previously been focused on computing and networking at a much larger scale. This interest is driven by the vision that, like the Internet, large-scale distributed networks of sensors will pervade the world but at a physical, rather than virtual, level. Computer 's special issue will focus on all aspects of the field: hardware, architectures, wireless communication, networking, middleware, application development, applications, and experience. There are opportunities for short and long papers, providing a forum for reporting on both early and mature research. Topics of particular interest include sensor network architectures; sensor node hardware; networking; low-power protocols and services; distributed algorithms; data query, dissemination, routing, and fusion; novel applications and services; application development tools; and deployment experiences. The deadline for papers is 16 February 2004. [Note: This new extended deadline is a hard deadline for us to meet the publishing schedule] Send inquiries to the guest editors at culler(a)eecs.berkeley.edu ,mbs(a)ee.ucla.edu, and destrin(a)cs.ucla.edu . Submission guidelines are available at http://computer.org/computer/author.htm. Submit manuscripts via Manuscript Central at http://cs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/. Please forward this CFP to those who may be interested. ================================================================== Mani B.
