MMNS 2009: 12th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services ========================================================= http://www.manweek.org/2009/mmns (part of MANWEEK 2009, October 26-30) Telecom Italia Future Centre, Venice, Italy IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Registration Deadline: May 1, 2009 Paper Submission Deadline: May 8, 2009 PDF: http://www.manweek.org/2009/download/cfp/mmns09-cfp.pdf CALL FOR PAPERS The 12th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS) will be held in October 26 - 30, 2009 at the fascinating Telecom Italia Future Centre, in the worldwide known and magnificent Venice, Italy, as part of the 5th International Week on the Management of Networks and Services (Manweek 2009). 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. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: * Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection * Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets * Existing applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g. human dynamics characterisation and modeling * Reports of planet-scale infrastructure for data collection * Proposed business models to incentivise involvement of network operators in contributing data * Issues concerning privacy and anonymity of data collection * Regulatory and legal issues about data collection The workshop proceedings will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. All submissions must be in English, no more than 6 pages long, two columns (using the ACM templates), no characters smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. Papers will be reviewed single blind. HotPlanet'09 will support a couple of student traveling grants.

Mai 2009 MOTIVATION Telekommunikationssysteme haben sich in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt. In immer größerem Maße wurden hardwarebasierte Mechanismen durch Softwaresysteme ersetzt. Durch die zunehmende Verschmelzung von Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen für Sprach- und Datendienste sowie durch die Bereitstellung neuer Dienste entstehen hochkomplexe Systeme, welche schwierig zu beherrschen sind. In gleicher Weise nimmt die Komplexität innerhalb der Netzwerkinfrastrukturen für mobile Telekommunikationsnetze zu. Nutzer erwarten Roaming zwischen verschiedenen Netztechnologien, garantierte Qualitätsparameter, und ubiquitäre Verfügbarkeit von verschiedensten Services und neue Anwendungen. Diese Entwicklungen erfordern neue Ansätze zum Entwurf von Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen und deren Implementierung und Wartung. Der Umbau existierender Telekommunikationsinfrastrukturen, bei großen Telekommunikationsunternehmen wie auch innerhalb einzelner Unternehmen, stellt große Herausforderungen an die Informatik. Dieser Workshop soll dazu beitragen, wissenschaftliche und praktische Erfahrungen auszutauschen und gemeinsam nach neuen Wegen zu suchen, wie diese für uns alle kritischen Infrastrukturen durch Methoden und Werkzeuge der Informatik beherrschbar gemacht werden können. THEMEN Mögliche Themen für Workshopbeiträge könnten unter anderem sein: - Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) und Architekturen für integrierte Telekommunikationssysteme und Next-Generation-Networks (NGN) - Neue Methoden und Werkzeuge für den Entwurf und die Simulation von Telekommunikationssoftware - Infrastrukturen und Technologien zur Realisierung von ubiquitären Services - Plattformen und Protokolle für orts- und kontextbezogene Systeme - IP-basierte Multimedia-Protokolle (SIP,..) - Ansätze und Methoden zur Modellierung von komplexen Telekommunikationssystemen - Last-Mile Software-Lösungen - Middleware-Lösungen und Softwarearchitekturen für mobile Netze - Kommunikationsmechanismen und Infrastrukturen für spezielle Anwendungen (z.B. Logistik, und Fahrzeuge) - Software- und Systemansätze für Sicherheit und Datenschutz in der Telekommunikation - Software and Services for Operations Support Systems / Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) - Management für Telekommunikationsplattformen (Accounting, QOS, Security, …) - Flexible und skalierbare service-orientierte Architekturen für TelCos - Personalisierung von Telekommunikationsdiensten - Services für 4G-Netze/WiMAX - Lösungen für endgerätezentrische Plattformen (Android, iPhone, Symbian, SAT, ...) EINREICHUNGEN UND VERÖFFENTLICHUNG Die Beiträge für den Workshop können in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst werden und sollten eine Länge zwischen 6 und 15 Seiten haben.

(We apologize for possible multiple copies.) ********************************************************* *** Mobile and Embedded Interactive Systems (MEIS'09) *** *** Workshop @ Informatik 2009 in Lübeck *** *** http://www.hcilab.org/events/meis09 *** ********************************************************* *** Deadline extended to: May 18, 2009 *** OVERVIEW Interaction with mobile devices and embedded systems has become a part of everyday life. As mobile devices get more complex and embedded systems consist of different components that are networked the creation of usable interactive software poses many new challenges. Issues arise from emerging novel paradigms in user interfaces. In particular tangible interaction, device and interfaces ecologies, and implicit interaction create new requirements for user centered design and system development The workshop on Mobile and Embedded Interactive Systems (MEIS'09) seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are concerned with envisioning, creating, and implementing mobile and embedded interactive systems. The workshop will provide a venue to present novel research in this field and to openly discuss ideas and problems on the topic. By bringing together different viewpoints, in particular embedded systems, complex software systems, mobile interaction, and user centered design, a broader understanding can emerge. The overall aim of the workshop is to foster a community in mobile and embedded interactive systems.

[Fwd: [Tccc] E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks]
by Lars Wolf 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] E-DTN 2009 - Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks Datum: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:50:47 +0100 Von: <I.Psaras(a)surrey.ac.uk> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <1E7B4639CA370942A3CDE4ACEC1342950FBF6C(a)EVS-EC1-NODE2.surrey.ac.uk> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks (E-DTN) Technically Sponsored by IEEE Dates: TBA October, 2009, St.-Petersburg, Russia (in conjunction with ICUMT 2009) [Web: http://www.e-dtn.org/] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Networking research for challenged environments has attracted a lot of attention lately. Numerous attractive protocols have been proposed, which are expected to network places and devices that currently do not have the opportunity of going online. Such environments reside at the edges of the current Internet infrastructure. For example, public and private transport vehicles, underwater, satellite and deep-space networks are potential DTN deployments of interest. Communication in the above-mentioned challenged environments is usually infrastructureless and consists mainly of mobile battery-powered devices. Moreover, mobility patterns are usually unknown, making connectivity periods between DTN-nodes intermittent and opportunistic. To achieve communication in such environments one has to deal with several performance tradeoffs, such as end-to-end delivery delay and energy consumption, or reliability and storage congestion. Since, in most cases, end-to-end connectivity does not exist (hence the difference from ad hoc networking) current Internet protocols fail permanently. Although there have already been a lot of research proposals for routing, (storage) congestion control, error control and application design for such networks, the IRTF has focused mainly on the Bundle Protocol (BP); BP is an application layer protocol that does not include the appropriate functionalities to deal with issues such as routing or storage congestion, for example. That said, DTN research and its future directions seem to lack a stable basis. For example, it is not clear yet if a one-fits-all protocol stack will be deployed, or if such an approach is feasible at all. In contrast, several different protocols that each would suit the needs of its specific architecture/setup would need to be able to interoperate. This workshop seeks novel ideas in the form of preliminary or work-in-progress results as well as mature research papers for Delay-/Disruption Tolerant Networks. We also encourage position papers that address and criticize the past, current and future trends of DTN research and are intended to trigger discussions on the whole spectrum of DTNs. Topics include but are not limited to: - DTN Routing - Congestion and Storage Congestion Control - Resource Sharing in DTN environments - Network Coding techniques for DTNs - Application Development - DTN Management Platforms - Error and Flow Control - Experiences and Measurements from DTN testbeds - Privacy and Security of Information in DTNs - DTN Simulators and related tools - Performance Evaluation and Metrics for DTN Research - Performance and Design Tradeoffs for DTN Algorithms and Protocols - Social Networking through DTNs - Satellite Constellations and DTNs - Naming/Addressing and interoperability issues with the Internet architecture - DTN Architectures: -- Satellite Communications -- Deep-space Communications -- Underwater Communications -- Connectivity in Developing Countries -- Communication in Public and Private Transport Vehicles IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract-registration Deadline: June 15, 2009 Paper-submission Deadline: June 20, 2009 Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers must be original in content, not published or submitted to another workshop, conference or journal. Page-limits are as follows: Position Papers: 2 pages, Work-in-Progress Papers: 4 pages and Full Papers: 6 pages. Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-spaced, double-column page-style, using 10 pt size fonts on 8.5X11 inch pages. Page-limits include text, figures, references and appendices. A selection of the best papers will be invited for a special issue on the Emergence of Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networks in the Journal of Internet Engineering [http://www.jie-online.org].
