[Fwd: [tcgn] Submission deadline soon: ACM SIGCOMM 2003 MoMeTools Workshop]
by Lars Wolf 01 May '03

01 May '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] Submission deadline soon: ACM SIGCOMM 2003 MoMeTools Workshop Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2003 21:38:49 +0200 From: Georg Carle <carle(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de Dear Colleagues, our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this mail! We would like to remind you of the upcoming deadline of May 4, 2003 for submitting papers for the ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Models, Methods and Tools for Reproducible Network Research (MoMeTools'03) which takes place in Karlsruhe, Germany, on August 25, 2003 in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2003. For complete information about the workshop, please visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools/ URL for paper submission: http://www.pfhsn.org/mometools/ConfMan/REG-paper/ Kind regards, Georg Carle, Hartmut Ritter and Klaus Wehrle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers ACM SIGCOMM WORKSHOP ON MODELS, METHODS AND TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE NETWORK RESEARCH (MoMeTools) http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/mometools/ in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2003, Karlsruhe, Germany 25 August 2003 ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics, network research appears significantly less mature concerning methodology. Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated. While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emula-tion, testbed experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or adjustment between results obtained by different methods. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for net-work research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: - Reproducibility of experimental network research - Investigation of scaling effects - Common code basis for simulation and implementation - Mathematical methods for error assessment - Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes - Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments - Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations - Benchmarking and measurement techniques - Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of tools - Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop will be published. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT The workshop solicits the following types of submissions: 1) Full papers, 2) Position papers on potentially controversial or provocative topics, and 3) Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical session consisting of short presentations combined with live demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to submit an online video clip in addition to a papers. Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are also highly welcome. Papers should not be anonymized. See the submission webpage http://www.pfhsn.org/mometools/ for full submission requirements. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de.

Over recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the performance modelling, evaluation and convergence of multi-service networks of diverse technology, such as IP, ATM, MPLS, D-WDM, IPO, WLL, xDSL, Metro-WDM, Gigabit Ethernet, WLAN, Ad-hoc as well as GSM, GPRS, 3G UMTS mobile systems and all-optical networks. However, many interesting and important traffic engineering, technological and performance issues need to be addressed and resolved before a global and wide-scale integrated broadband network infrastructure can be established for the efficient support of multimedia applications. Of crucial importance is the design and dimensioning of the next generation Internet with quality of service (QoS) guarantees including the creation of generic evaluation platforms capable of measuring the performance of heterogeneous networks, services inter- operability and applications. Moreover, robust quantitative methodologies are needed, such as those based on novel queueing network models, neural networks and stochastic Petri nets, leading to both credible and cost-effective approximations and algorithms for the performance prediction of heterogeneous networks. These powerful and realistic tools applied to the analysis of other types of discrete flow systems, such as computer systems, transportation networks and flexible manufacturing systems, may also be, by analogy, of relevance. The aim of the First International Working Conference on Heterogeneous Networks (HET-NET '03) is to contribute to fundamental research in networks of diverse technology and internetworking issues and focus on their performance/reliability modelling and analysis. The event is staged under the auspices of the proposed EU Network of Excellence (NoE) Euro-NGi for the design and dimensioning of the 3G Internet and beyond in collaboration with two major industrial on the main EU consortiums related to two current IST projects in the field, namely, IASON focusing on the design and development of performance measurement platforms for heterogeneous networks and EVOLUTE dealing with seamless multimedia services over all IP-based infrastructures. As in earlier performance modelling and evaluation ATM & IP events in Bradford and Ilkley, U.K., the Working Conference provides the friendly and informal atmosphere in which participants from all over the world introduce new concepts, exchange novel ideas and establish new operational solutions and research initiatives. In particular, delegates are encouraged to address . Traffic Engineering and performance modelling aspects of existing and emerging Internet technologies towards the convergence of telecommunications, multi-service networking and broadcasting; . Design and development of performance evaluation platforms for multi- services inter-operability and heterogeneous networks; . Methods and solutions for seamless mobility and heterogeneous mobile network optimization, capacity utilization and resource management, based on enhanced performance against traditional and current state of the art mechanisms; . Analytic and simulation methodologies for QNMs and SPNs with self- similar and multi-fractal traffic models of long-range (LRD) versus short-range (SRD) dependence and their approximation, with tolerable accuracy, by simpler traffic processes. It is envisaged that HET-NETs '03 will make an effective contribution to both structuring research in the performance modelling field and spreading the excellence worldwide. General Chair .

[Fwd: Location Change: Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration]
by Lars Wolf 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

und noch ein Ortswechsel ... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Location Change: Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 07:02:58 +0200 From: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Reply-To: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> To: SIGMM-MEMBERS(a)ACM.ORG From: Yong Rui <yongrui(a)microsoft.com> LOCATION CHANGE 2003 International Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration (WOMTEC) October 19-20, 2003 Nice, France In association with ICCV 2003 http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/womtec/ As computing is becoming ubiquitous and network bandwidth grows, the way how people teach, learn, and collaborate is rapidly changing. People are increasingly using computer technologies to make learning and collaboration easier, more convenient, and more effective. There are still many open technical problems that need to be addressed to make e-learning and collaboration a better experience. We need to address the problem of how to better capture and present a lecture or a group meeting. We need to better understand the meeting context such as the gesture, facial expressions, who is speaking, who wants to speak so that we can generate good indexing schemes to allow for nonlinear browsing and provide a better summarization of the meeting. How to make note-taking easier is another interesting problem. For a group meeting or a class with remote participants, we need to address the problem of how to present the meeting room to the remote participants and vice versa so that the remote participants are not left out. One clear advantage of a face-to-face meeting vs. current video conferencing is that many visual cues, such as eye contacts and who is paying attention to what, are lost in video conferencing. Most of these problems involve techniques from computer vision, graphics, and multimedia. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the researchers who are interested in this area to exchange their work and ideas. The topics include but not limited to: * Camera and microphone arrays for AV capturing of lectures and group meetings. * Calibration of camera arrays for meeting/lecture capturing * Gesture recognition * Facial expression recognition * Eye gaze correction * Speaker detection and tracking from video and audio * Automated lecture capturing * Automated lecture analysis and indexing * Automatic assessment of student behavior * Lecture presentation and browsing * Whiteboard capturing and analysis * Classroom note taking * Novel use of TabletPC and other small devices for teaching and learning * E-learning systems * Digital ink compression, classification, and recognition * Video and document data compression * Distance learning standards such as SCORM The accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by IEEE Computer Society (pending approval). The best papers will be published in the International Journal of Distance Education Technologies.

The first four Web Caching Workshops (WCW) focused on Web cache software and caching networks for static Web content. The scope broadened to encompass content distribution and eventually all areas relating to the intersection of storage and networking for Internet content services, including such areas as storage for grid computing and peer-to-peer storage services. In other words, the name of the workshop has stayed relatively constant, but the topics included in it will, as always, cover the newest and most interesting areas relating to data as it moves about the Internet. This year we are especially interested in issues of massive scale: the impact of geography on caching and replication; the role of caching and data transfer in Internet-wide grid computing; global peer-to-peer file transfer and storage; and other topics consistent with the history of the workshop and the evolution of web caching and content delivery. Call for Papers --------------- The workshop solicits technical papers related to Internet content caching and replication, content delivery, and content services networking. Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to: + Caching and edge services for the wireless Web + Caching and replication for grid computing + Consistency management + Content placement and request routing + Edge services and dynamic content caching + Empirical studies of deployed content delivery systems + Geographical influences on caching and replication + In-stream content modification (e.g., transcoding, pluggable services) + Internet caching architecture and protocols + Memory and storage management for content caches + Overlay networks for content delivery + Peer-to-peer caching and content delivery + Peering and content services internetworking + Security and availability of Web service architectures + Streaming media caching + Web workload analysis and characterization + Wide-area upload and "content gathering" General Chair ------------- Brian D.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue IEEE TRANSACTION ON NEURAL NETWORKS Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 19:58:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuanyi Ji <jic(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: jic(a)ece.gatech.edu Call for Papers IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NEURAL NETWORKS Special Issue on Adaptive Learning Systems in Communication Networks The recent years have seen an explosive growth in the progress and adoption of communication networks for data and telecommunication applications. In particular, the emergence of the Internet as a new medium for business transactions, government services, information acquisition, computing and communication has created a vast array of problems unforeseen just a few years ago. As the capabilities of the available networking infrastructure improve many foresee convergence of data, voice and video transport over what is currently known as the Internet or its derivatives. Communication networks and internetworks, and in particular the Internet, have been characterized as the ultimate data-rich environments, dynamically evolving and expanding practically without any centralized control. Such data-rich, unstructured environments present a particular challenge for traditional methods of analysis and design. Adaptive learning methods, in general, including adaptive signal processing, neural networks, fuzzy logic and other data-driven methods and algorithms are in the unique position to offer credible alternatives. Such approaches have the potential for solving and improving the available solutions for some of the toughest problems faced in this newly emerging set of interrelated information technologies. The goal of the proposed special issue is two-fold: " to highlight the on-going research in the field of adaptive learning systems, and in particular adaptive signal processing and neural networks, as it is applicable to computer and communication networks, and, " to present to the neural networks community and to others interested in adaptive learning systems, in general, a variety of new and challenging problems and their proposed solutions, originating from the rapidly expanding universe of computer and communication networks. As the use of these technologies spreads, numerous modeling, estimation, control, classification, clustering and signal processing problems are emerging. Many of these problems currently have no satisfactory solutions and some have been addressed with ad-hoc solutions with much room remaining for improvements. A common underlying theme of these problems is that they are " very data-rich, " represent a dynamically changing environment where the lack of valid mathematical models is predominant, and, " representative of systems with minimal or no centralized control. These problems appear amenable to data-driven methods and algorithms, such as adaptive learning methods, including neural networks and other non-parametric or semi-parametric approaches. This special issue will welcome contributions with proposed approaches to existing problems, either with currently known or unknown solutions, and to new problems in the subject areas of computer and communication networks. The focus of the proposed solutions will be on data-driven or the so-called measurement-based methods and algorithms, rooted in the general areas of adaptive learning methods. The Special Issue papers will cover topics of interest that include a broad range of underlying communication network infrastructure technologies. Papers are solicited from, but not limited to, the following topics: Network Management Topics " Methods and algorithms for network traffic analysis, modeling and characterization " Network performance measurement and analysis techniques " Network fault monitoring and diagnosis methods " Network security and privacy, including intrusion detection methods " Approaches and methods for Quality of Service in IP networks " Scalable routing algorithms " Decentralized congestion control algorithms " Novel admission control algorithms " Control algorithms for high-speed network access technologies " Application of "new approaches" in adaptive learning systems to data-intensive tasks in complex networks Content Management Topics " Approaches for scalable Web caching and related optimization methods " Novel solutions to operational problems in content delivery and distribution networks " Web data mining and knowledge discovery - scalability and comparison of methods " Web personalization methods " Information hiding techniques and digital rights management " Novel solutions to information access and retrieval for dynamic Web content " Efficient compression algorithms and coding for continuous digital media - multimedia content " Architectures for Quality of Service guarantees in real-time distributed applications " Uncertainty management in real-time distributed applications " Concepts in real-time distributed applications enabled by new communication network technologies Guest Editors: Alexander G. Parlos, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA (Coordinator) Chuanyi Ji, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, USA K. Claffy, San Diego Supercomputer Center, University of California, San Diego, California, USA Thomas Parisini, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy Marco Baglietto, University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy Manuscripts will be screened for topical relevance, and those that pass the screening process will undergo the standard review process of the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks (see the instructions for authors in the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks). Paper submission deadline is November 1, 2003. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an abstract by September 1, 2003. This will help in the planning and review process. The final Special Issue will be published in the Fall of 2004. Electronic manuscript submission is mandatory and only papers in pdf format will be considered for review. All manuscripts should be sent to the Coordinator of the guest editorial team at a-parlos(a)tamu.edu. Researchers interested in reviewing manuscripts for the Special Issue should contact the Guest Editors via e-mail and provide a brief description of expertise. -- _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

und hier ist noch ein CfP evtl. passend fu"r ELAN Aktivita"ten (nur kennt jemand die ICCV?) -- Lars -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers (MSGID:20030419123331) Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2003 12:39:02 +0800 From: CFP SYSTEM <cfp(a)cs.tku.edu.tw> To: <Lars.Wolf(a)KOM.tu-darmstadt.de> 2003 International Workshop on Multimedia Technologies in E-Learning and Collaboration(WOMTEC) October 19-20, 2003 YiChang, China In association with ICCV 2003 http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/womtec/ As computing is becoming ubiquitous and network bandwidth grows, the way how people teach, learn, and collaborate is rapidly changing. People are increasingly using computer technologies to make learning and collaboration easier, more convenient, and more effective. There are still many open technical problems that need to be addressed to make e-learning and collaboration a better experience. We need to address the problem of how to better capture and present a lecture or a group meeting. We need to better understand the meeting context such as the gesture, facial expressions, who is speaking, who wants to speak so that we can generate good indexing schemes to allow for nonlinear browsing and provide a better summarization of the meeting. How to make note-taking easier is another interesting problem. For a group meeting or a class with remote participants, we need to address the problem of how to present the meeting room to the remote participants and vice versa so that the remote participants are not left out. One clear advantage of a face-to-face meeting vs. current video conferencing is that many visual cues, such as eye contacts and who is paying attention to what, are lost in video conferencing. Most of these problems involve techniques from computer vision, graphics, and multimedia. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the researchers who are interested in this area to exchange their work and ideas. The topics include but not limited to: · Camera and microphone arrays for AV capturing of lectures and group meetings. · Calibration of camera arrays for meeting/lecture capturing · Gesture recognition · Facial expression recognition · Eye gaze correction · Speaker detection and tracking from video and audio · Automated lecture capturing · Automated lecture analysis and indexing · Automatic assessment of student behavior · Lecture presentation and browsing · Whiteboard capturing and analysis · Classroom note taking · Novel use of TabletPC and other small devices for teaching and learning · E-learning systems · Digital ink compression, classification, and recognition · Video and document data compression · Distance learning standards such as SCORM The accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by IEEE Computer Society (pending approval). The best papers will be published in the International Journal of Distance Education Technologies. Because the ICCV paper decisions are made later than the submission deadline, we accept dual submissions from ICCV. The papers which are accepted by ICCV will be withdrawn from the workshop. At least one author per paper must register at a "non-student" rate before July 20, 2003. Otherwise the paper will not be included in the program. If all the authors on a paper are certified as students, then a student rate registration will be accepted. The workshop will be held in YiChang, Hubei province, China . YiChang is well-known for the Three Gorges Dam which will start producing power in 2003. Its environment is well preserved with beautiful mountains, clear streams, and amazing caves. It is also close to “ShenNongJia” national forest, one of the best preserved forests in China. Paper submission: To submit a paper, please go to our online submission system. Papers should be submitted electronically in pdf (preferred) or postscript with no more than 8 pages including all figures, references and appendices using the ICCV 2003 submission format. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: May 22, 2003 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2003 Camera-ready due: July 20, 2003 Conference: 10/19/2003 - 10/20/2003 Organized Tour: There will be an organized tour to the Three Gorges Dam.

Apologies for any duplicates. Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: May 7, 2003. -------------------------------------------------------------------- First Workshop on Intelligent Solutions in Embedded Systems (WISES) Vienna University of Technology, Austria, June 27th, 2003 CALL FOR PAPERS An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform a dedicated or narrow range of functions with a minimal user intervention. An intel- ligent system is a system that is able to react appropriately to chang- ing situations without user input and hence, an attractive solution for an embedded system. Main challenges for intelligent solutions in embed- ded systems come from dependability and real-time requirements and from constraints on cost, size, and power consumption. It is the objective of this workshop to bring together students, young researchers, and experienced scientists of this interdisciplinary area to exchange ideas and experiences. We want to encourage submissions de- scribing promising work in progress, papers on experimental systems, and well-founded position papers concerning the usage of intelligent methods in embedded systems engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Sensor data processing * Fault tolerance and robustness * Intelligent ressource planning * Adaptive control systems * Biologically inspired systems SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted Manuscripts should be full papers or extended abstracts (minimum 700 words). Full papers are limited to a length of 5000 words. Submissions will only be accepted electronically via email to wises(a)vmars.tuwien.ac.at, in either PDF or postscript format.

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Nicola Henze [mailto:henze@kbs.uni-hannover.de] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10. April 2003 15:16 An: l3s(a)learninglab.de Betreff: [Fwd: CFP Workshop "MobileBenutzer - Mobiles Wissen- Mobiles Internet"] Call for Papers =============== +------- | | Mobile Benutzer - Mobiles Wissen - Mobiles Internet | | Workshop im Rahmen der 33. Jahrestagung der | Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. | | Frankfurt am Main, 30.9. - 2.10.2003 | | http://www.informatik2003.de | http://ivs.tu-berlin.de/mobilesWissen | +-------- Hintergrund und Motivation des Workshops ---------------------------------------- Wissen ist in unserer post-industriellen Gesellschaft zu einem wesentlichen ökonomischen Faktor geworden. Das Management von Wissen gewinnt damit zunehmend an Bedeutung für den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg von Unternehmen. Allerdings ist Wissen wertlos, wenn es nicht zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort und in der richtigen Form zur Verfügung steht. Wissensmanagement entfaltet sein Potential erst dann vollständig, wenn es integraler Bestandteil von Geschäftsprozessen geworden ist. Die Prozesse finden aber zunehmend dezentral statt, bis hin zu virtuellen Arbeitsgruppen oder gar virtuellen Unternehmen. Es gilt, mobile Geräte, dezentralisierte Prozesse und Wissensmanagement als zusammengehöriges Thema aufzufassen, als mobiles Wissensmanagement. Im Kontext des Internets wird die Darstellung von Wissensinhalten und Zusammenhängen unter der Bezeichnung Semantic Web subsumiert. Ziel der Semantic Web-Aktivitäten ist es, Internet-Dokumente jeglicher Art semantisch anzureichern, um ihre maschinelle Verarbeitung zu unterstützen. Arbeiten im Bereich Topic Maps gehören zu diesen Aktivitäten hinzu. Gleichzeitig verlagert sich die Informationsverarbeitung immer mehr von stationären Rechnern hin zu mobilen Endgeräten wie Laptop, PDA und Mobiltelefon. Die Möglichkeit, Wissen mit hoher Bandbreite ortunabhängig auf mobile Endgeräte zu transportieren, zwischen diesen direkt auszutauschen und Wissen auch offline zu benutzen, eröffnet völlig neue Potentiale im Bezug auf Geschäftsprozesse und Kundeninteraktionen. Aufgrund dieser Potentiale ist es sinnvoll und erforderlich, sich näher mit Fragen zu möglichen Einsatzbereichen des mobilen Wissensmanagements, der Realisierung von mobilen Anwendungen und mit technischen, organisatorischen und prozessbezogenen Aspekten der Einbindung von mobilen Endgeräten in das Wissensmanagement auseinander zu setzen. Dank mobiler Geräte und semantische Informationen werden Prozesse der Entdeckung, Verarbeitung, Weitergabe und Speicherung von Wissen technisch mehr unterstützt werden, als es derzeit der Fall ist. Gerade aber das Entdecken von Wissen und die Motivation der Menschen dieses Wissen zur Verfügung zu stellen wird durch die derzeitige und auch die zukünftige Technologie noch nicht hinreichend unterstützt. Jeder von und kennt die Schwierigkeiten Mitarbeiter zu motivieren Ihren Beitrag zur "Wissensdatenbank" in Unternehmen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Vorbilder hierfür sind soziale Netzwerke, in denen Neuigkeiten je nach Interessenlage und Kontakten zwischen den Akteuren des Netzwerks wandern. In diesem Zusammenhang sind auch Peer-to-Peer-Netzwerke interessant, die ohne eine zentrale Instanz, Wissensflüsse in sich schnell ändernden Umgebungen unterstützen. Für den Workshop "Mobile Benutzer - Mobiles Wissen - Mobiles Internet" werden Beiträge zu den nachfolgend aufgeführten Themengebieten erbeten. Auch auf das Thema mobiles Wissensmanagement bezogene Beiträge, die sich schwerpunktmäßig mit einem der Teilgebiete, d.h. mobile Technologien oder Wissensmanagement, befassen, sind für den Workshop von Interesse, wenn sie dabei die Möglichkeit einer Integration in das Gesamtgebiet berücksichtigen. Im Workshop werden Vertreter verschiedener Disziplinen zu Wort kommen. Es besteht die Hoffnung, dass daraus am Ende des Workshops neue - gerade auch interdisziplinäre - Kooperationen entstehen. Potentiale, innovative Anwendungen im mobilen Wissensmanagement --------------------------------------------------------------- * Integration mobiler Anwendungen in Wissensmanagementsysteme * Nutzungspotentiale und Einsatzbereiche von mobilen Anwendungen (bspw. E-Learning, Medizin) * Kontext-sensitive, personalisierte Wissensmanagement-Anwendungen * Möglichkeiten spontaner Vernetzung und Peer-to-Peer Kommunikation * Realisierte Lösungen im Bereich mobiles Wissensmanagement * Praxiserfahrungen bezüglich Akzeptanz von mobilen Wissensmanagement-Anwendungen * Anreizsysteme für mobile Wissensmanagement-Anwendungen * Modellierung mobiler Wissensflüsse Mobile Technologien ------------------- * Mobiles Internet * Spontane Netzwerke * Überblick und Bewertung der technischen Infrastruktur von mobilen Anwendungen * Lösungsmöglichkeiten hinsichtlich technischer Grenzen wie Übertragungskapazitäten, unterschiedliche Displaygrößen (Präsentation und Benutzungsoberflächen) mobiler Endgeräte, usw. * Überblick über mobile Technologien * Überblick über Abrechnungsmodelle für mobile Mehrwertdienste Wissensmanagement ----------------- * Wissensentdeckung, -speicherung, -verarbeitung, -bewertung * Methoden und Anreizsysteme, Wissen der Allgemeinheit zur Verfügung zu stellen. * Wissensmodellierung * Workflows für wissensintensive Prozesse * Kollaborative Anwendungen im Wissensmanagement * Information Retrieval, Push-Technologien, intelligente Agenten als Werkzeuge zur Informationsvermittlung * Werkzeuge für den Aufbau und der Pflege von Wissens- und Informationsräumen (Semantic Web, Topic Maps) * Integration von Wissensmanagement und Content Management Wichtige Termine ---------------- 15.

This one-day workshop seeks contributions related to the design and implementation of group communication systems for large-scale applications and environments. ____________________________________________________________ Title: ACM Workshop on Rapid Malcode (WORM) Deadline: 01-Jul-2003 Webpage: http://pisa.ucsd.edu/worm03/ Conference: WORM/October 27th, 2003 Synopsis: In the last several years, Internet-wide infectious epidemics have emerged as one of the leading threats to information security and service availability. The vehicle for these outbreaks, malicious codes called "worms", leverage the combination of software monocultures and the uncontrolled Internet communication model to quickly compromise large numbers of hosts. The goal of this workshop is to bring together ideas, understanding and experience bearing on the worm problem from a wide range of communities including academia, industry and the government. We are soliciting original papers from researchers and practitioners alike. ____________________________________________________________ About SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE The SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE mailing list is intended to provide a low-volume channel that provides operating systems researchers and practitioners with information about upcoming events or other important announcements.

[Fwd: [tcgn] CfP SIGCOMM 2003 Workshop MoMeTools]
by Lars Wolf 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] CfP SIGCOMM 2003 Workshop MoMeTools Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2003 11:55:11 +0200 From: Hartmut Ritter <hritter(a)inf.fu-berlin.de> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: <MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de> Call for Papers WORKSHOP ON MODELS, METHODS AND TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE NETWORK RESEARCH (MoMeTools) in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2003, Karlsruhe, Germany 25 August 2003 ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics, network research appears significantly less mature concerning methodology. Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated. While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emula-tion, testbed experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or adjustment between results obtained by different methods. The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models, methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art, and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is needed for net-work research to progress more rapidly and to ensure widely reproducible results. The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models, methods and tools. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: - Reproducibility of experimental network research - Investigation of scaling effects - Common code basis for simulation and implementation - Mathematical methods for error assessment - Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes - Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments - Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations - Benchmarking and measurement techniques - Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of tools - Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop will be published. WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT The workshop solicits the following types of submissions: 1) Full papers, 2) Position papers on potentially controversial or provocative topics, and 3) Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical session consisting of short presentations combined with live demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to submit an online video clip in addition to a papers. Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are also highly welcome. Papers should not be anonymized. See the submission webpage (not yet available) for full submission requirements in the near future. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de.

Jason Lin, National Chiao Tung Univ. %%%%%% CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mobility and Resource Management IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Manuscript submission date: October 1, 2003 Acceptance notification: January 15, 2004 Final manuscript due: March 15, 2004 Publication date: June 15, 2004 Theme With the rapidly growing demand for "anywhere, anytime" high-speed Internet access, many advanced radio and network technologies have already been developed. Integration of these different technologies will be an essential trend in the near future. In such a heterogeneous environment, the "mobility and resource management" issue becomes very critical, particularly for the QoS support with various kinds of services. Not only user mobility and resource provisioning within a single network should be considered, but also seamless cross network services and interactions should be provided. Many issues need to be addressed for mobility and resource management in heterogeneous wireless networks, including the integration of the mobility protocols adopted in different network; the impacts of user mobility on and the integration with network resource management and power consumption of handheld devices; support of IP protocols on mobile computing systems for seamless tier mobility. Furthermore, security and privacy need to be addressed for roaming users from network to network. Modeling technologies and performance analysis are needed to address new types of mobility and resource management in heterogeneous networks. Topics of Interest This special issue is targeted at the above issues related to mobility and resource management. Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers to this special issue. Topics include, but are not limited to: (a) Mobility and resource management schemes for future telecommunications systems (including UMTS, cdma-2000, and TD-SCDMA) (b) Impact of mobility on and integration with resource management (c) Impact of mobility on power consumption and strategy for energy conservation (d) Mobile IP and SIP mobility (e) Security and privacy Issues in mobility management (f) Mobility and resource aware applications (g) Analytical modeling and performance analysis Submission Instruction All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.

[Fwd: [Tccc] reminder on special feature topic for IEEE Comm Magazine]
by Lars Wolf 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] reminder on special feature topic for IEEE Comm Magazine Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 10:04:19 -0500 From: Chuah, Mooi Choo (Mooi) <chuah(a)lucent.com> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers Supporting Multimedia Multicast/Broadcast Services in 3G/4G Networks Special Feature Topic of IEEE Communication Magazine Motivation Current 3G system provides point to point service. There is a strong interest to provide multimedia broadcast/multicast service over 3G network. Such multicast services allow unidirectional point-to-multipoint transmission of multimedia data (e.g. text, audio, picture, video) from a single source point to a multicast group in a multicast area. An example of a service using the multicast mode could be a football results service for which a subscription is required. Work has started in 3GPP and 3GPP2 to investigate how to enhance 3G system to provide multicast service. Many design issues need to be worked out before multicast services can be deployed in 3G systems. For an example, questions like how the 3G system admits multicast services, how the radio access network selects between the use of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio bearers to deliver MBMS services, how the network alert MBMS subscribed users on the availability of MBMS streams. Mobility management of MBMS users need to be considered too. Handoffs from one cell/Radio Network Controller to another need to be fast such that packet losses for MBMS streams are acceptable. Since users are expected to be charged for such multicast issues, authentication and security issues related to MBMS needs to be worked out. Scope In response to the above momentum, this special issue aims at providing a timely and concise update of the current activities and findings in this area. In addition, it aims to address the key technical challenges associated with these services. In this context, papers are solicited reporting on representative topics such as: * Enhanced 3G architecture design for MBMS services * Radio resource management strategies for MBMS services * Paging Strategy for MBMS services * Overlay WLAN/3G architecture for providing MBMS services * Airlink Scheduling for MBMS services * Power control issues for MBMS services * Security/Authentication Issues for MBMS services * Performance Studies All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Communication Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. Please submit your electronic manuscript in word or pdf format to one of the guest editors by June 30th, 2003. Earlier submissions are encouraged to allow for a better issue planning.
