Best, Maria ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second International workshop on Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling (WiTMeMo'06) August 5, 2006 Boston http://www.witmemo.org/ in conjunction with the Second Annual International Wireless Internet Conference (WICON) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope ----- The rapid deployment of wireless infrastructures in various environments triggers new applications and services that in turn generate a richer set of traces for analysis. There is a need for more realistic models of traffic, mobility, and association patterns. This can be beneficial in capacity planning, administration, and deployment of wireless infrastructures, protocol design for wireless applications and services, and their performance analysis. The Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling workshop is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences and research results about all aspects of measurements and modeling of applications, usage, access, load, and mobility in wireless networks. It will also initiate discussions on how to use these models to improve the performance of wireless networks. Furthermore, it aims in enhancing and accelerating the process of sharing traces, implementations, and test suites. In this workshop, we would like to solicit short, 6-page papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. Along with regular presentations we plan to have invited speakers and/or panel discussions that encourage more active participation of the attendees. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: * Methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in different wireless environments (infrastructures, sensor networks) * Workload characterization and traffic analysis * User mobility modeling * Measurements and predictions of user access over multiple networks *Software tools in support of measurements * Measurement-based inference of network properties (for normal or abnormal behavior, network topology, hot spots) * Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, and anomaly detection * Temporal and spatial evolution of wireless networks * Evaluation of forecasting algorithms for wireless traffic load * Comparative analysis on different wireless networks * Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests Chair ----- Maria Papadopouli UNC, FORTH TPC --- Jack Brassil, HP Lab Felix Hernandez-Campos, Google Christophe Diot, Thomson, Eyal de Lara, University of Toronto Matti Latva-aho, University of Oulu Tristan Henderson, Dartmouth College Philipp Hofmann, DoCoMo Eurolab Rosario Garroppo, University of Pisa Ramakrishnan Kadangode, AT&T Research Merkourios Karaliopoulos, UNC Gerald Maquire, KTH Xiaoqiao Meng, UCLA Maria Papadopouli UNC, FORTH George Polyzos, AUEB Pablo Rodriguez, Microsoft UK Ashutosh Sabharwal, Rice University Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University Vassilis Siris, FORTH Mark Yarvis, Intel Important Deadlines ------------------- Full Papers due: May 15th, 2006 (**** Extended ****) Notification of Acceptance: June 15st, 2006 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: July 1st, 2006 Conference Date: August 5 2006 -- Maria Papadopouli http://www.cs.unc.edu/~maria _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Network operators offer multimedia services over mobile networks but it is still limited to particular devices on specific networks. The delivery of multimedia content to every mobile handset on every mobile network, anytime and anywhere is still a major challenge. Mobile media can be delivered via a multitude of different networks with very different characteristics like cellular networks (WCDMA, HSDPA, 3G MBMS), broadcast networks (DVB-H, DMB) or other networks standards like WLAN or Wimax. Mobile terminals like mobile phones, mobile TVs or handheld computers have different capabilities and characteristics. Consequently, seamless interworking between these terminals and networks is becoming more important in order to make uniform media delivery possible. New mobile multimedia services for large user groups like MobileTV, interactive TV, video on demand, TV chatting and multimedia telephony are arising. Each service has its own characteristics and demands for mobile media delivery. As always for mobile services spectrum efficiency is a pre-requisite for large scale deployment. Several European research projects from the FP6 program are addressing the challenges of mobile media delivery. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of mobile media delivery, projects from the mobile and wireless area like Ambient Networks, PHOENIX and DAIDALOS, from the networked audiovisual systems area like DANAE, ENTHRONE and Visnet as well as from the content technologies area like M-Pipe are dealing with mobile media delivery. Besides these projects a lot other research work about mobile media delivery is carried at academia, research institutes and industrial companies. EuMob 2006 will give researchers the opportunity to highlight their latest results on this topic. Researchers active in FP6 research projects as well as other leading international researchers will participate and share their latest findings. Original unpublished contributions are solicited dealing with topics of mobile media delivery like: * Architectures for mobile media delivery * Next generation mobile media delivery frameworks * Overlay networks for mobile media delivery * Peer-2-Peer networks for mobile media delivery * Multimedia service composition for mobile media * Solutions for optimized media delivery and transport over heterogeneous networks * QoS problems and solutions * Network convergence for media delivery * Media adaptation to networks and devices * Network-based mobile media adaptation and pro-active caching * Cross-layer communication for mobile media delivery * (Scalable) source coding for mobile media * Source/channel coding, joint optimizations * Efficient usage of radio and spectrum resources * Mobile media delivery for multi-user services * Interactive mobile broadcast and Mobile TV * Security and protection for mobile media delivery * Context-aware mobile media delivery PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit articles of not more than five pages including figures and references. Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission through COCUS system at http://cocus.create-net.it/. Conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE and will be available through IEEExplore (approval pending).
