The MMNS 2009 conference will provide participants with a high quality and intimate setting for discussion and debate. The conference is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society and specifically the Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). SCOPE OF MMNS 2009 Since 1997, MMNS has established itself as a major conference for research and innovation in the management of multimedia technology and networked services. The scope of the conference has been expanded in recent years to include management of emerging mobile and wireless networks and their integration with more traditional network infrastructures. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from academia and industry interested in state-of-the-art management of converged multimedia networks and services across heterogeneous networking infrastructures, while creating a public venue for result dissemination and intellectual collaboration. The convergence of existing and emerging technologies such as broadband, mobile, and broadcast networks is considered as a promising opportunity for existing providers to increase their service subscriber base, so that the 4G vision and beyond becomes a reality. An important research effort is undertaken by main actors to face the multidimensional, in terms of transport technology, session signaling, and QoS provisioning, heterogeneity of Next Generation Networks (NGNs). The efficient management of wireless and wired technologies side-by-side and of the number of multimedia services provisioned over these integrated networks is a key ingredient in the effort to provide cost effective, innovative, and mass-market solutions that are likely to become a major source of income for different stakeholders. The need to evolve management tools, solutions, platforms and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobile and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, quadruple play convergence, and the integration of embedded systems in different domains, from smart homes/cities to next generation automotive systems. The academic and industry research communities should unify forces to address the challenges of developing and operating converged multimedia networks and services. Inevitably, integrated management is a key element in addressing this challenge. The MMNS 2009 technical program committee is soliciting research papers in the broad area of network and service management that address new models, architectures, and technological designs to enable multimedia and mobility proliferation in NGNs. MMNS 2009 intends to continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, and will emphasize and solicit novel research in the management of wired-wireless multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Management of multimedia streaming and real-time service delivery Management of wireless ad-hoc/mesh networks Management of NGN/4G networks and services Management of Service Oriented Architectures Management of sensor networks for enhanced multimedia provisioning Middleware for the management of mobile multimedia services Middleware support for seamless mobility of multimedia services Multi-service/multiple-play over IP (voice, video, data and mobility over IP) network management Grid networking for multimedia Cross-layer multimedia management Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks Quality of service management in multimedia and mobile networks Planning and optimization of multimedia and mobile networks IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) operations and management Management of service delivery platforms Management of content distribution networking Distributed multimedia service management Performance evaluation of multimedia and mobile services Wireless/mobile multimedia broadcast/multicast technologies Novel protocols for multimedia services Multi-point and multicast service management Pricing, accounting, and billing for multimedia services Management of trust and security for mobile and multimedia networks and services Self-* properties of multimedia and mobile networks and services Network virtualization for network management and service provisioning Remote over-the-air manageability in mobile networks End-to-end management for multimedia transmission in mobile/wireless networks Mobile platform architecture optimizations for management services Network manageability across heterogeneous wireless networks Novel network architectures for mobile network management services PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original and unpublished research work or experiences.

Please send it to colleagues and students of potential interest. Thanks! ACM MobiSys'09 Workshop on Hot Topics of Planet-scale Mobility Measurements (HotPlanet), Krakow, Poland, June 22, 2009 http://www.hotplanetconf.net/ Important dates: Submission deadline: May 15, 2009 Authors notification: June 2, 2009 Camera ready: June 12, 2009 Registration deadline: June 12, 2009 Workshop date: June 22, 2009 Call for papers: It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building mobile systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale mobility data. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data. For instance, the largest publicly available human contact traces contain only 100 very sparsely connected nodes, a limitation of the experimental setup. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. An analogy can be made to the field of complex networks research, which flourished since 1989 when the first large datasets from the Internet (and subsequently the World Wide Web) became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and other related fields, relevant large-scale datasets must be made available. In this workshop, we wish to challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces. We will highlight some of the issues in the hope that the community can help find solutions that can form the basis of practical experiments: the main aim is to raise these issues to gain community support to meet this challenge.

************************************************* * SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to APRIL 30 2009 * ************************************************* [Apologies for possible multiple copies] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd International Workshop on Adaptation in Wireless Sensor Networks (AWSN-09) http://tweb.ing.unipi.it/awsn09 In Conjunction with The 7th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC 2009) Vancouver, Canada, August 29-31, 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are networked embedded systems that rely on wireless communication. WSNs are supposed to run long-lived applications. During operation, applications are likely to experience unpredictable environment conditions that require to dynamically change their behavior. With current reprogramming technology, such an adaptation is still an open issue, as it can be achieved either at the expense of significant energy consumption or through software complexity. The challenge is to achieve WSN systems that not only embed intelligence into environments, but also have embedded intelligence for reprogramming themselves after their deployment. The workshop aims at stimulating researchers and practitioners in embedded and ubiquitous computing, autonomic computing, ad-hoc networking and all other relevant areas to present their ideas and work in progress for advancing the technologies that enable adaptive WSN applications. * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Re-configurable, adaptive applications * Context-awareness * Self-healing, self-protection, self-configuration, self-optimization * Agents and distributed computing * Embedded Virtual machines * Viral programming * Opportunistic computing * Intelligent power management and coverage * Adaptive wireless communication and networks * Security and fault-tolerance ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION The program committee encourage original, high-quality submissions from researchers and practitioners from academia and industry.

** Apologies for cross-posting ** Call for Papers 2009 International Workshop on Pervasive Multimedia Sensor Networks (PMSN 2009) http://lei.shu.deri.googlepages.com/pmsn2009 (In conjunction with EUC 2009) http://cse.stfx.ca/~euc09/ August 28th~31st, 2009, Vancouver, Canada Call for Papers The 2009 International Workshop on Pervasive Multimedia Sensor Networks (PMSN¡¯09) will be held in conjunction with the 7th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC-09), August 29th-31st, 2009, Vancouver, Canada. Having the development of low-cost imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, sensitive microphones, PMSN have been proposed and drawn lots of attention from the research community. PMSN are a new and emerging type of sensor network that contains sensor nodes equipped with cameras, microphones, and other sensors producing multimedia content. These networks have the potential to enable a large class of applications ranging from assisting elderly in public spaces to border protection that benefit from the use of numerous sensor nodes that deliver multimedia content, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems. PMSNs require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video. Comparing with traditional wireless sensor networks, a lot of new challenges are faced by PMSNs, e.g., energy efficient multimedia processing and communication, heterogeneous multimedia reliability definitions, tight QoS expectations, and high bandwidth demands. This workshop is intended to provide a forum for presenting, exchanging and discussing the most recent advances in different aspects of pervasive multimedia sensor networks and applications. In particular, this workshop will bring together leading researchers, industry professionals, and research students to study the special problems and challenges of multimedia mobile and wireless environments.
