Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a promising technology that handles the mobility management and provides the seamless mobile communications. It is expected that MIPv6, as a standard for mobile communication, will open the Mobile Internet Age. In MIPv6, it has been observed that mobility for mobile devices can be more efficiently handled if mobility management is broken down into localized mobility management and global mobility management. Therefore, host-based approaches such as Fast-Handovers for MIPv6 (FMIPv6) and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) have been proposed for localized mobility management. In addition, Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6) has been presented for the network-based localized mobility management (NETLMM), which does not require mobile devices to be involved in the signaling for mobility management. This workshop will focus on the challenges and solutions for MIPv6 with an emphasis on PMIPv6 and NETLMM, which have recently gained considerable attention. The MobiWorld workshop will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of MIPv6 and NETLMM. In addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in MIPv6 and NETLMM. Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. == Topics (included, but are not limited to)== - Communications network architecture for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Efficient handover mechanism in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Enhanced route optimization for MIPv6 and NETLMM - QoS protocol in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Performance model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Applications and services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security issues and protocols for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security threats and model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Privacy and trust for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Key management and authentication for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - AAA Infrastructure for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Early binding update and credit based access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Personal or Cellular communications services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Successful MIPv6 and NETLMM deployment - Mobility support for the next generation internet - Mobile IP for business - Mobility management for wireless network - Implementing mobile IP enterprise management solution - Integrating mobile data services into enterprise infrastructure - Others and emerging new topics == International Committee == *General Co-Chairs Victor C.M.

We are pleased to announce the First Annual ACM Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held February 22-23, 2009 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domians to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Networking * Multimedia Operating Systems * Multimedia Databases * Large-Scale and Remote Display Architectures * Real-Time Support For Multimedia * Networked Games * Virtual and Augmented Worlds * Cyber-Physical Systems * Peer-to-Peer Architectures for Streaming and Multicast * Modeling of Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Interfaces * Multimedia Middleware and Toolkits * Multimedia Programming Languages * Cloud-based Multimedia Processing * Multi-core Support for Multimedia * Mobile Multimedia Systems Original papers on emerging and traditional areas of multimedia systems are sought. All submissions should not currently be under review in another venue and should be prepared using the standard double-column ACM proceedings style format. Papers should be a maximum of 12 pages in length. Papers should be clearly motivated by themes and issues raised primarily in the context of multimedia applications and data types such as: * Continuity of media over time * Scalability of systems to support multimedia data * Adaptation of media to support real-time requirements In addition to the refereed paper publication, there will be two unique aspects of the Multimedia Systems Conference: * Multimedia Systems will have an archival site for all its conferences. Each paper will have a blog area that will allow people with questions and comments (moderated) about a paper to be consolidated over time. We hope this will provide a service to the entire community to allow people to come up to speed more quickly about papers that have appeared at Multimedia Systems. * To help facilitate the sharing and common use of data and software, we will be having a software / data archive track that, as part of the publication process, will result in a copy of the software or data archive in the Multimedia Systems web site. This will allow researchers to more quickly converge on common data sets for comparisons. Important Dates: * September 15, 2009 - Full Paper Submission Deadline * November 1, 2009 - Notification of Acceptance * December 1, 2009 - Final Paper Due * February 22, 2010 - Conference

It results that the philosophy of networking is currently reaching a new frontier, where the physical processes directly impact the logical information for the sake of pervasive and ubiquitous control of the surrounding environment. This objective can be achieved by means of massively networked embedded systems, also known as cyber-physical systems (CPS). The Wireless Sensor Network paradigm is known as the most prominent enabling technology for CPS. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has also been a pioneer technology in defining the new concept of Internet-of-Things. There is, as consequence, a tendency to change the concept of the Internet from a network a data to a network of physical objects. The objective of the the SensorNets 2009 School is to present a comprehensive state-of-the-art of the enabling technologies for the concept of Cyber-Physical Systems such as Wireless Sensor Networks, RFID, wireless standard protocols, etc. from the basic concepts to the latest achievement and the future challenges in the related research area.
