We apologise for any inconvenience caused. We are inviting potential authors to submit papers for the forthcoming conference through the conference website at www.dime2006.org DIME 2006 is intended to be the definitive point of interaction between entertainment software developers and academic and industrial researchers. This conference is targeted at both the research and commercial communities, promoting research and practice in the context of interactive digital entertainment systems with an emphasis on commercial computer and video games. Computer entertainment and network gaming's ability to generate a culture which immerses and absorbs its participants has made it an object of new millennial 'moral panic'. And in many ways, it is. The phenomenal success of popular culture to initiate a mass audience in patterns and practices of its own consumption has supported the evolution of an enormously powerful mass entertainment industry extending deeply into every aspect of our lives. This conference is dedicated to building common ground between research, design and development, learning and collaboration in its myriad forms: its object is the exploration of 'education & play', demonstrating new arenas and applications for digital gaming and incorporating leading edge technologies, designs and models in our changing views about what is involved in gaming. This conference will bring together academics, technologists, artists, designers, and industry representatives to help define, refine, and advance the leading edge of new digital and interactive media art and technology. Authors are to submit their full papers by the 7 May 2006. Papers (up to eight pages) will be published in the proceedings. The following, non exclusive, topics are called for: (1) Entertainment Art and Technology Location and Pervasive Gaming, Mobile Entertainment, Using Digital Games in Practice, Computer Entertainment Research, Open-Source Gaming Engines, Implications for Multimedia and Web Design, Serious Games, Artistic Games, Commercial Games, Games as Pedagogy, Analysis of Games (2) New Media Emerging Technologies Personal Broadcasting (Podcasting and Vlogging), Novel Applications for Cell Phones, Social and Interactive Computing Applications, Collaborative Spaces/Environments, Innovative Applications of Technology in the Arts, Mixed Reality and Enhanced Visualization, Context-aware Environments and Devices, Immersive Learning Experiences (3) Code Art Algorithmic Art, Software Art, Net Art, Installation Art, Tangible Computing, Sonic Art (4) Digital Visual Media Digital Photography, Digital Imaging as Art, New Topics in 3-D Modeling, Digital Printing, Non-Photorealistic Rendering (5) Moving Media Digital Video, Distance Collaboration/Performance, Animation, Interactive Movies (6) Culture of New Media Network Culture, Philosophy of New Media, Digital Identity (7) Interactive Stories Digital Narrative, Digital Asset Management, Semantic Web, Interactive Cinema Kind regards, Adrian David Cheok Conference General Chair if you have any questions please contact us at secretariat(a)acadresearch.org If you wish to unsubscribe this service please inform us at secretariat(a)acadresearch.org ---------- End Forwarded Message ----------

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Sigcomm Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS) DEADLINE EXTENSION Datum: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 23:55:43 -0700 (PDT) Von: Kevin C. Almeroth <almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Do to numerous requests, we are extending the submission deadline for CHANTS. However, authors interested in submitting should note, that ************************************************************************* PAPERS MUST STILL BE REGISTERED IN EDAS BY THE ORIGINAL DEADLINE. ************************************************************************* ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Sigcomm 2006 - Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS-06) Pisa, Italy - September 15, 2006 http://chants.cs.ucsb.edu/ ===================================================================== Technical Area: Challenged networks include those found in mobile and in-motion networking, dynamic wireless networks, heterogeneous and mobile sensor networks, interplanetary networking, and networks providing rural connectivity. Such networks are not well served by standard TCP/IP solutions, due to the prevalence of disconnection, disruption, intermittency, large delays, or other factors. Today, the most successful network architecture is that of the Internet. It has scaled well beyond the original plan of its designers, and the Internet Protocol has been carried on a great number of underlying protocols, including itself. However, the Internet's protocol architecture suffers some problems when implemented on classes of networks for which it was not originally designed. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common, or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop, we wish to explore physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. More specifically, we solicit papers in the following areas: - Characterization of performance-challenged networks, e.g. network measurements. - Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks. - Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks. - Robust network application design and implementation techniques. - Delay tolerant and disruption tolerant networks (DTN). - Situated and autonomic communications for challenged networks. - Handling user concerns in challenged networks such as usability, privacy, security and incentives to cooperate. Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as more general, philosophical position papers. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage in their development are favored over highly polished, journal-style results. Selected papers will be forward-looking, with impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept around 15 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on broader issues and community development. Paper Format and Submission: All submitted papers should be formatted according to the ACM SIG proceeding template found here: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html In particular, this format uses 9pt font in two columns with particular margin sizes. Papers must be no longer than eight pages and must be in PDF format. Papers will be reviewed single blind, which means be sure to include author information on the first page after the title and before the abstract. Papers that do not adhere to these requirements exactly (or attempt to cheat on spacing or fonts) will not be accepted for submission. All papers should be submitted via EDAS. For more details please visit the CHANTS webpage: http://chants.cs.ucsb.edu/ Important Dates: Abstract Registration Deadline: 21 April 2006 (11:59pm EDT) Submission Deadline: 28 April 2006 (11:59pm EDT) Notification of Acceptance: 2 June 2006 Camera Ready Deadline: 16 June 2006 Workshop Date: 15 Sept 2006 Organizing Committee: Technical Program Co-chairs: Kevin Almeroth, UC-Santa Barbara Email: almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu James Scott, Intel Research Cambridge Email: james.w.scott(a)intel.com Program Committee Members: Amin Vahdat, University of California, San Diego Aruna Senevirante, National ICT Australia Cecilia Mascolo, University College London Chen-Nee Chuah, University of California, Irvine Deborah Estrin, University of California, Los Angeles Ellen Zegura, Georgia Institute of Technology J?rg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology Kaustubh Phanse, Lule?

An accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors at the conference venue and must be limited to 6 pages (with an allowance of up to two extra pages at a cost of US$150 per extra page beyond 6 pages if the paper is accepted for publication) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font).
