Most companies are either using or considering the use of e-business. Advances in telecommunications, automated processes, decision technologies, economics, and management are already forcing dramatic changes in a variety of industries, ranging from banking and finance to music and entertainment. Yet, the electronic business space is still in a relatively early state of evolution, and many of the significant advances in understanding and implementing e-commerce are occurring concurrently in academia and industry. Thus, dialogue on this field between academia and industry is important. As electronic business spans a wide range of reference disciplines, forums focusing on e-commerce research are vital to stimulate the necessary interactions and knowledge sharing across this broad community. The */Seven^th /* */International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research ICECR-7 /*is intended to address these needs. The series of ICECR conferences established a history of success in bringing together academic and industrial researchers from various fields on an ongoing, annual basis to discuss developments and challenges of electronic business understood in the largest possible sense of the term. The aim of ICECR-7 is to continue this tradition and provide a high quality forum for the presentation of results, exchange of ideas, and scientific discussions on challenges, methodologies, new technologies and their impact, computational and deployment issues, policies and advanced applications in the area of e-business. Our goal is to open the conference to participants from all fields, in particular, telecommunications, computer science, management sciences, and operations research, economy, legal and policy studies. The conference will combine technical presentations grouped in research sessions, with industry and research plenary speakers, as well as industry-lead panels. Following the earlier successful meetings held in Nashville, Dallas, and Montréal, the */International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research/* its seven^th edition will be held at INFOMART, Dallas, Texas. INFOMART is an ideal facility for a conference that brings together researchers from all over the world and, in particular, from Europe, Asia, North and South America. Papers submitted for presentation at the conference will be refereed and selected based on the full paper or an extended abstract of 5 to 10 pages. The abstracts have to be submitted through E-mail, by February 1, 2004 to Professor Bezalel Gavish <mailto:gavishb@charter.net>.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] End-to-End Service Differentiation Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 08:55:54 -0500 (EST) From: Teresa A Dahlberg <tdahlber(a)uncc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Workshop on End-to-End Service Differentiation (EESD 2004) in conjunction with IPCCC 2004 Phoenix, Arizona April 14-17, 2004 http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/eesd04 Scope: Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a proposed architecture by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in which various ap- plications are supported using a simple classification scheme. Packets entering the DiffServ domain are handled depending on the packets' class. However, for many QoS-sensitive applications, such as e-commerce and steaming media, QoS differentiation at the network layer alone may be insufficient to guarantee the applica- tion's QoS requirements. Such applications require end-to-end QoS differentiation. End-to-end QoS guarantees require service dif- ferentiation mechanisms throughout the protocol stack, as well as in the middleware, the operating system and even in the applica- tions. We are interested in visionary, experimental, systems-related and work in-progress papers in the area of QoS differentiation at the network, middleware, operating system and application levels. Pa- pers in the form of extended abstracts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by anoth- er conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presen- tation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings. The workshop will also include invited papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to - Differentiated services architectures - Application-level service differentiation - Policybased QoS differentiation - Packet classification and marking - Packet scheduling algorithms and implementations - Differentiated buffer management - QoS across heterogeneous link technologies - QoS for mobile application support - Active network support for QoS differentiation - Content-aware switches - Multi-level admission control - QoS-aware operating systems - QoS differentiation for e-commerce and m-commerce - QoS-aware web server architec tures - Service differentiation via web caching - Service differentiation via content distribution networks - QoS support for storage networks - QoS support for networked games Submission: Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically. The documents must follow Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). To do so, follow the relevant link on the workshop home page http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/eesd04/submit.html Papers are in the form of extended abstracts, 5-8 pages long. A cover page must include a title, descriptive keywords, all au- thor's names, complete mailing addresses, telephone numbers, e- mail addresses and an abstract of up to 150 words. Papers accept- ed for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Workshop on Information Assurance CFP]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Workshop on Information Assurance CFP Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 22:51:30 -0500 (EST) From: David Tipper <dtipper(a)mail.sis.pitt.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Workshop on Information Assurance (WIA04) In conjunction with the 23rd IEEE International Performance Computing and Communications Conference (IPCCC) http://www.ipccc.org/ipccc2004 Phoenix, Arizona April 14-17, 2004 Scope: Information Assurance (IA) is defined as the operations undertaken to protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation. Information assurance for networks is as critical as it is for information systems. Availability implies that networks and systems must be survivable and fault tolerant they should possess redundancies to operate under failures or security breaches. For example, networks should be designed with sufficient spare and working capacity, efficient traffic restoration protocols, alarms and network management. Security encompasses the other aspects of IA, namely integrity, access-control, authentication, confidenti- ality and non-repudiation as they apply to both networks and systems. The The increasing reliance of business-to-business and business to consumer applications on networked information systems dramatically magnifies the consequence of damages resulting from even simple system faults and intrusions, making the task of assuring confidentiality, availability and integrity of information difficult. Although several piecemeal solutions address concerns related to the security and fault tolerance of various components of such networksed information systems, there is a growing need to leverage the synergy between security and survivability to provide a higher level of information assurance in the face of faults and attacks. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, systems-related and work in-progress in the area of Information Assurance at the network and system levels. We expect to have three sessions - the first related to survivability and fault tolerance, the second related to security, and the third related to the interactions between security and survivability. Papers in the form of extended abstracts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings. The workshop will also include invited papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Security and availability of web services - Authorization and access-control - Database and system security - Risk analysis and security management - Verification and validation of security - Wireless LAN Security - Restoration techniques for networks - Multi-layer protection design - Reliability/Availability of IP networks - Digital Rights Management - DoS protection for the Internet - Cryptographic protocols and Key management - Network security and Intrusion detection - Ad hoc and sensor network security - Models and architectures for systems security and survivability - Security and survivability in optical networks - Restoration of security services under failure - Security and survivability architectures for e-commerce and m-commerce - Public policy issues for security and survivability Deadlines for Submissions: December 6th, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: December 29th, 2004 Camera-Ready Copy Received: January 26th, 2004 Workshop: April 14-17, 2004 Submission: Authors should submit their papers electronically.

CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th International Workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV 2004) June 16-18, 2004 --- Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland http://www.nossdav.org/2004/ NOSSDAV 2004 will take place in Kinsale on the exceptionally scenic southern coast of Ireland. Kinsale is approximatly a 20 minute drive outside Cork city, which is within easy reach of major European capitals and the east coast of the US. The workshop is sponsored by ACM SIG Multimedia (preliminary approval), Microsoft Research and Science Foundation Ireland, and is in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM (preliminary approval). NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia, but strongly encourages submissions in newly emerging specialized areas such as networked games and peer-to-peer streaming. NOSSDAV 2004 will be run very much as a workshop with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and lively discussion. Papers grounded in high-quality experimental research based on prototype or real systems, including innovative experimental commercial designs and prototypes, as well as papers proposing new research directions for the community or calling into question existing conventional wisdom are particularly welcome. ***Student participation is strongly encouraged*** - supported by several student travel grants and registration fee rebates. Submissions should be no longer than 6 pages. The expectation is that papers accepted at the workshop will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Networked games * Peer-to-peer multimedia * Broadband streaming media content distribution * 3D multimedia and (networked) immersive environments * Wireless and ad-hoc network multimedia systems * Embedded multimedia devices (e.g., PVRs) * Multimedia security * Internet telephony * Sensory interactive applications * Digital rights management Deadlines: Paper registration deadline - February 23, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Paper submission deadline - March 1, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Program Co-Chairs: Venkat Padmanabhan, Microsoft Research (USA) Cormac Sreenan, University College Cork (Ireland) Email: nossdav2004-pcchairs(a)cs.ucc.ie Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, UC Santa Barbara (USA) Ernst Biersack, EUROCOM (France) Phil Chou, Microsoft Research (USA) Christophe Diot, Intel Research (UK) Kevin Jeffay, UNC Chapel Hill (USA) Srinivasan Keshav, University of Waterloo (Canada) Sue Moon, KAIST (Korea) Reza Rejaie, University of Oregon (USA) Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University (USA) Srinivasan Seshan, CMU (USA) Anees Shaikh, IBM Research (USA) Lars Wolf, TU Braunschweig (Germany)
