The workshop environment encourages lively discussion among participants and invites strong feedback for work in progress. In 2007, NOSSDAV will be held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA. NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia computing and networking and strongly encourages work in progress in emerging areas. Papers grounded in high quality experimental research based on prototype and real systems are highly valued. NOSSDAV will give extra consideration to papers that aim to comprehensively validate previous work in some topic within multimedia, propose new directions for research or call into question existing conventional wisdom. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Peer-to-peer streaming - Networked games - Sensor networks and architectures - In-network stream processing - Wireless and mobile multimedia systems - 3D multimedia and tele-immersion - Streaming 3D graphics and virtual worlds - Application-level multicast - Multimedia security - Digital rights management - Real-time operating system support for multimedia - Multimedia middleware and frameworks - Multimedia grids - Programmable and GPU/SPU-enabled multimedia A broad view will be taken in deciding what topics are within scope. Please feel free to contact the workshop co-chairs if you are unsure and wish to check if a particular paper or topic is within the workshop scope. As always, student participation is strongly encouraged. To encourage a good mix of seasoned researchers as well as students, we will be offering discounted registration for non-student co-authors of a paper or other non-student participants associated with the author of a paper (participants from the same institution). Submissions (as well as the camera ready final versions of accepted papers) should be no longer than 6 pages. We expect these submissions to be the kernel of what will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. This year, a few of accepted NOSSDAV papers with highest quality are selected and their authors are invited to submit an extended version of their papers to a special issue of ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal (MMSJ). MMSJ is a well-known International journal, published by the Springer Verlag, and sponsored by the ACM SIGMM organization. This journal publishes new research results in the areas of multimedia systems, multimedia networking, multimedia applications, multimedia security, multimedia education, multimedia coding, and multimedia retrieval systems.

Through the use of mobile devices and devices embedded in the surrounding physical environments, users can be provided transparent computing and communication services at all times and in all places. The complexity of providing such services stems from the fact that the communication devices and the objects with which they interact may both be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services, and an understanding of the cross-layer interactions between all of these components. The Fourth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (Mobiquitous-07) will provide a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions, design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences needed to build successful ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, data management and services, all with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing. PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. Technical papers clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following feature topics as applied to mobile and ubiquitous environments: - Ubiquitous architectures, systems and applications - Wearable computing and personal area networks - Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi) - Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems - Ad hoc and sensor networks support for ubiquitous computing - Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks - Wireless/mobile service management and delivery - Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems - Service and knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms - Location-based services and tracking in ubiquitous environments - Context- and location-aware applications - Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems - Context modeling, services and frameworks - Toolkits, testbeds, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing - Rapid prototyping of ubiquitous applications - Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing - Mobile and ubiquitous data management and processing - Data replication, migration and dissemination in ubiquitous environments - Queries, transactions and workflows in mobile and ubiquitous environments - Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile) SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically (see the conference web page for details). Authors should prepare an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of their full paper. Papers must not exceed 8 pages double column (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font size must be at least 10 points. PUBLICATION: All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by the international technical program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) journal. WORKSHOPS: Four workshops will be run in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to discuss work in progress and explore opportunities for new research related to mobile and ubiquitous systems: computing, networking and services. Proposals for workshops should be at most four pages in length and should be submitted to Dr. Suman Banerjee by February 1, 2007.

In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising facets of a paradigm shift. Self-adaptive systems work in a top-down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible. Self-organizing systems work bottom-up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions, and it is difficult to deduce properties of the global system by studying only the local properties of its parts. This edition of SASO will focus on engineering, as opposed to speculative and conjectural visions. Contributions should present novel theoretical results, or practical experience with building systems, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. Topics o Self-* properties: - self-organization - self-adaptiveness - self-management - self-monitoring - self-tuning - self-repair - self-configuration - etc. o Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems o Management and control of self-* systems o Robustness and dependability of self-* systems o Engineering and control of emergent properties in self-* systems o Biologically and socially inspired self-* systems Systems & Technologies o P2P applications o Mobile robots o Sensor networks o Mobile ad hoc networks o Grids o Embedded systems, ubiquitous computing o Autonomic computing, autonomic communications o Computer networks, telecommunication networks o Multi-agent systems o E-business systems and services o Complex adaptive systems Research Communities o Distributed artificial intelligence o Networking o Software engineering o Distributed systems o Integrated management o Robotics o Knowledge-based systems o Machine learning o Control theory o Mathematical optimization Organization General Co-Chairs: Ozalp Babaoglu, University of Bologna, Italy Howard E.

These systems are frequently distributed over heterogeneous networks, and are driven by many diverse requirements on performance, real-time behavior, fault tolerance, security, adaptability, development time and cost, long life concerns, and other areas. Such requirements frequently conflict, and their satisfaction therefore requires managing the trade-off among them during system development and throughout the entire system life. The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial, academic, and government experts, from a variety of user domains and software disciplines, to determine how the disciplines' problems and solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers, practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transition experts are all welcome. The scope of interest includes long-term research issues, near-term complex system requirements and promising tools, existing complex systems, and commercially available tools. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE AND TOPICS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers are solicited in all areas related to complex computer-based systems, including the causes of complexity and means of avoiding, controlling, or coping with complexity. Topic areas include, but are not limited to: + Avionics and Automobile Software + Content Production and Distribution Systems, Mobile and Multi- channel Systems + Context Awareness Computing + Formal Methods and Approaches to Manage and Control Complex Systems + Human Factors and Collaborative Aspects + Integration of Heterogeneous Technologies + Interoperability and Standardization + Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing + Real-time and Embedded Systems + Sensor Network Systems and Applications + Software and System Development and Control Processes for Complex Systems + Software Architecture and System Engineering + Software Complexity Visualization + Systems and Software Safety and Security + Tools, Environments, and Languages for Complex Systems + Verification Techniques for Complex Software Systems + Virtual Environments for Managing Complexity + Web Services Modeling and Compositions Different kinds of contributions are sought, including research papers, lessons learned, status reports, and discussion of practical problems faced by industry and user domains. The ultimate goal is to build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers, and students. A program goal is to organize several sessions that include both academic and industrial papers on a given topic and culminate panels to discuss relationships between industrial and academic research. Papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and Experience Reports. The papers submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program committee members, and papers accepted in either category will be published in the conference proceedings. Technical papers should describe original research, and industrial experience reports should describe practical projects carried out in industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format. Papers should not exceed 10 pages including figures, references, and appendices and be in PDF format. Submissions of papers will be carried out electronically via the Web (Submission Page).
