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

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.

Die Wachstumszahlen bei Mobilnetzen sind beeindruckend. Die Grenzen zwischen dem Internet und den Mobilnetzen verschwimmen zusehends, denn das drahtlose Internet bekommt mehr und mehr Bedeutung im täglichen Umgang mit und im globalen Zugriff auf Daten, Informationen und Ressourcen. Sowohl bei Echtzeit als auch bei Mobilnetzen existiert indes noch erheblicher Forschungsbedarf im Zusammenhang mit IP-basierten Netzen. Der drahtlose Internetzugang erlaubt nicht nur eine höhere Mobilität der Netzbenutzer sondern darüber hinaus die Einbeziehung von ortsbezogenen und anderen Kontextinformationen in die Auswertung und Generierung von Internetanfragen. Damit sind neue Applikationen denkbar, die sowohl mehr Benutzerkomfort als auch höhere Informationsdichte bieten. Die Thematik des Workshops ist sowohl von beträchtlichem industriellem als auch von akademischem Interesse und lässt Spielraum sowohl für praxisorientierte als auch für grundlagenorientierte, stärker theoretische Beiträge. Das Spektrum der durch den Workshop abgedeckten Forschungsthemen soll von Basisdiensten für Mobil und Multimediakommunikation über dedizierte Middleware bis hin zu innovativen Anwendungen für das "Mobile Internet" reichen. Der Workshop soll im übrigen auch dazu genutzt werden, die wichtigsten Resultate von Projekten im Rahmen der BMBF-Initiative "Drahtloses Internet" zu präsentieren sowie Ideen für zukünftige Projekte bei der geplanten Anschlussförderung zu diskutieren. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Ing.

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 May 24, 2004 Notification July 12, 2004 Camera ready Aug 5, 2004 Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged to be submitted to DSOM 2004. Papers under review elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted to DSOM 2004 Authors are requested to submit: -Long papers (up to 12 single-spaced single-column pages) or -Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 2 pages) in PDF or Postscript format.
