With the rapid convergence of networks and applications, changes in related industries, more complex value chains and increased competition, early prototyping and experimentation will become a key means for driving innovation and development of market oriented solutions. In this context, value generation has shifted from network technologies towards applications and content. Thus, the nature and scope of testbeds have changed substantially in recent years from solely network technologies towards complex service delivery infrastructures riding on various networks. In contrast to traditional vendor, operator and technology specific "closed" testbeds, the notion of "open" testbeds has emerged. "Open" in this context means both wide access as a shared resource and extensibility to include on-demand new end systems, network technologies, protocol stacks, and, most importantly, new middleware and service delivery platforms for specific test purposes. To meet this need, major research and development programs have started around the globe, including GENI in the U.S. and FIRE in Europe, to establish large scale experimental facilities. TridentCom 2009 will provide a forum to explore existing and planned testbed concepts, infrastructures, and tools to address the research and business challenges in a world of global convergence. Prospective authors from academia, industry and government are invited to submit high quality papers in two categories, Full Papers and Testbed Practices Papers, as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management, including, but not limited to: * Next Generation Internet and Clean Slate Protocol Stack Testbeds * GRID Testbeds and P2P Testbeds * Automonic Communications and Self-managing Network Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network and Seamless Services Testbeds * End System and Sensor Testbeds * Smart Home and Converged Communication and Media Services Testbeds * SOA/Web 2.0 Services Testbeds * Next Generation Services Testbeds * Service Creation and Provisioning Testbeds * Next Generation Networks, IMS, and Quad Play Testbeds * Configurable Hardware/Software Platforms for Testbeds * Testbed Tools for Interoperability, Benchmarking and Traffic Measurements * Innovative Measurements Methodologies and Tools for Networks and Services * Industrial informatics * Wireless industrial communications * Networked industrial automation Important dates: ---------------- Papers submission deadline: October 1, 2008 Demo proposals due: November 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2008 Submission of camera-ready papers: January 15, 2009 The Tridentcom'05 and Tridentcom'06 Proceedings have been indexed by Engineering Information (EI). The Tridentcom'09 proceedings will be published as CDROMs and will be included in IEEE Xplore (and then indexed by Engineering Information (EI)).

However, various applications and media formats may have different quality evaluation criteria and control parameters. For example, scalability and interactivity are very crucial performance metrics for 3D graphics scene model representation and delivery, while they may not be that important for some other multimedia applications. Thus, there is a strong impetus to develop new quality evaluation methodologies for various media formats under different multimedia application scenarios. Recently, cross-layer design has become a popular design methodology for enhancing Quality-of-Service (QoS) over various multimedia communications systems. However, most existing cross-layer designs for QoS provisioning in multimedia communications are mainly focused on improving network-oriented QoS such as throughput, delay, and jitter, while the multimedia application-oriented QoS have not been fully considered in the existing cross-layer design optimization. Therefore, quality-driven multimedia communications need to be extensively investigated under various communications scenarios involving audio, video, VoIP, image, and/or graphics. Under such a background, it is very important to highlight the importance of quality-driven cross-layer design as one of the enabling technologies for the next-generation quality-aware service-oriented multimedia networks. The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of quality-driven cross-layer designs for multimedia communications. Original completed and unpublished works not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: User perceptual quality enhancement methodology Media quality measurements for communications applications Optimized 3D graphics scene representation and transmissions Optimized image/video representation and transmissions Optimized audio/speech coding and transmissions Content-aware cross-layer design and optimization Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design Quality-driven cross-layer design architecture Quality-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control Quality-driven cross-layer MAC and routing protocols Cross-layer protocol stacks for quality support Performance evaluation of quality-driven cross-layer system design Standardization issues related to quality-driven cross-layer design Cross-layer design for P2P streaming Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks *Submission Procedure: * Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published at www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/tmm/infotmm.html.

Please note that the submission page for HotMobile 2009 is up and is available at: http://hotmobile.org/2009/cfp.php#submitURL Also please find the CFP below. ************************************************************************************* +------------------------------------------------------------------+ HotMobile 2009 The Tenth Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Hilton Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz, CA, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE www.hotmobile.org/2009/ +------------------------------------------------------------------+ ACM HotMobile 2009, the Tenth Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications and environments supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2009 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Paper submissions are due on Oct 13, 2008 at 23:59:59 PDST. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates Conference proceedings will be published by the ACM. Unlike previous years, printed proceedings will be given to participants at the workshop (rather than having a post-conference proceedings). As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. The important dates as well as the organizing and program committee members are listed below. We look forward to seeing you at HotMobile 2009.
