-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP NIME 2006 Deadline Extension to August 20 Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 09:24:13 -0700 From: Giovanni Pau <gpau(a)cs.ucla.edu> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org /* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. */ CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'06) CCNC 2006 - Satellite Workshop January 7-10, 2006, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society PLEASE NOTE NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 20 2005. The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The second IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers: IEEE/Create-Net TridentCom 2006 Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 11:14:13 -0400 From: Eylem Ekici <ekici(a)ece.osu.edu> Reply-To: ekici(a)ece.osu.edu Organization: Ohio State University To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers IEEE/Create-Net TridentCom 2006 Second International IEEE/Create-Net Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks and Communities March 1-3, 2006 Barcelona, Spain http://www.tridentcom.org Sponsored by the IEEE ComSoc, IEEE, Create-Net and the International Communication Sciences and Technology Association (ICST) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Telecommunication infrastructures play a vital role in modern society. The advancements in the range of network service offerings, their performance, quality of service, security, and ubiquity are relentless, despite global economy fluctuations. The demand for high bandwidth network infrastructures is continuously growing within both academic and industrial sectors. Grid computing is one of the many examples of the new emerging paradigm of networking characterized by huge data traffic flows, that require an extremely high-performance network infrastructure. The need of high speed is emerging also in mobile, wireless network environments, where new wireless technologies promise data rates above 100 Mbps. Other high bandwidth network examples include community access networks, on demand optical networks and the Next Generation Internet. To meet these challenges, experimental activities on infrastructures, such as testing, verification, deployment, are pivotal for academic researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users. The management of research infrastructures is increasingly dependent on a business model that optimizes their operational price/performance ratio. For example, access to experimental infrastructures for real-life applications by specific user communities would benefit all the stakeholders involved: the end users, because of the experimental evaluation of the provided services, the researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the knowledge gained from case-study analysis, and the infrastructure managers, because of the business exploitation of the network. The synergies created by opening research infrastructures to real life users offer all parties involved an enormous development potential, which needs to be thoroughly investigated and discussed. Tridentcom brings together all aspects related to experimental telecommunication infrastructures, creating a forum where telecommunication networks researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, requirements, needs, visions for the establishment of such infrastructures. Research on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management will find in Tridentcom its primary forum for focused discussion. High quality papers reporting on original research and on experiment results addressing the above areas are solicited for submission. The main topics of the conference are: * Next Generation Internet Testbeds * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds * Ubiquitous Network Testbeds * Wireless Sensor Testbeds * Testbed Operation & Management for User Communities * Testbed Operation & Management for Research Communities * Testbed Cooperation & Integration * Innovative Measurements Methodologies & Tools * Traffic Measurements Testbeds * Software Tools to Support Distributed Testbeds / Virtual Laboratories * Management of Massive Databases of Experimental Data * Knowledge & Technology Transfer Procedures * Security (AAA) Testing on Open Testbeds * Social Impacts of Infrastructures * Infrastructure Real-Life Applications * Business Models for Infrastructure Budgeting & Planning * Infrastructure Renting & Pricing Policies * Vendors & Providers Partnerships Best testbeds papers with a focus on communication software will be considered for publication in a planned Feature Topic of IEEE Communication Magazine, co-edited by Kazem Sohraby and Algirdas Pakstas. Important Dates: --------------------------------------------------- Full papers due August 31, 2005 Notification of acceptance October 31, 2005 Camera-ready manuscript due November 30, 2005 Early registration deadline January 30, 2006 Conference date March 1-3, 2006 --------------------------------------------------- Best Testbed Award: ------------------- A Best Testbed Award will be assigned to the research infrastructure that will best implement the open infrastructure model, so that to offer the greatest valuable service to the public, and the most sustainable business model to the infrastructure managers.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Call for Papers: High Speed Networking Workshop: The Terabits Challenge (in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2006)]
by Lars Wolf 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers: High Speed Networking Workshop: The Terabits Challenge (in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2006) Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 13:32:29 -0500 From: 'Byrav Ramamurthy' <byrav(a)cse.unl.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers and Participation HIGH SPEED NETWORKING WORKSHOP: THE TERABITS CHALLENGE Sponsored By: IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking, US Department of Energy In Conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2006 Barcelona, Spain, April 24, 2006 Website: http://www.ece.tntech.edu/nghani/infocom The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing recent advances in ultra high-speed and high-performance networks. With the continued technological advances, these new generation networks are expected to deliver unprecedented bandwidths, ranging from terabits/sec in the core to multiple gigabits/sec to the edge. This workshop will focus on various aspects of ultra high-speed network infrastructures including their role in enabling distributed large-scale science applications. In particular, the e-science applications have already demonstrated the need for agile networks operating well beyond 100 Gbps now, and will require sustained terabits/sec throughputs by the end of decade. Furthermore, the need for ultra high-speed networks is also emerging in a wide spectrum of application domains as diverse as entertainment, energy, banking, defense and medicine. In the past, there have been several attempts to address the bandwidth-intensive applications by deploying larger capacities in the core networks. However, experience indicates that simply scaling the core capacity does not necessarily result in a commensurate increase in end-to-end application throughputs. Indeed, the ability of existing network technologies, especially transport protocols, routing, traffic engineering and network provisioning to scale to the terabits/sec range remains a challenge. It is here that the emerging ultra high-speed networking technologies offer great opportunities along with unprecedented challenges. A key goal of this workshop is to explore approaches for meeting these challenges, particularly within the context of broader e-science applications. These topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: Group A: Ultra High-Speed Networks Innovative and agile terabits network architectures End-to-end performance issues Host systems issues including bus and OS Switching technologies including packet, burst and circuit switching Ultra high-speed transport protocols Ultra high-speed cyber security systems Dynamic provisioning in ultra high-speed optical networks Control and signaling plane technologies (GMPLS, UNI, NNI, etc.) High-performance network middleware Experimental deployment of high-capacity optical networks Traffic engineering for ultra high-speed networks Free-space high-capacity optical networks Group B: Ultra High-Speed Applications Prototyping high-end applications for ultra high-speed environments Data transfers over long distances High-speed I/O and storage systems Remote visualizations and tele-instrumentations Distributed access to supercomputing facilities Remote computational monitoring and steering SESSIONS ======== Presentations are planned to be grouped into the following topical sessions: Ultra high-speed transport protocols Terabits network provisioning Ultra high-speed traffic engineering/resource management Control and management planes Distributed high-end e-science applications Applications requiring terabit networks Cyber-security aspects of terabit networks SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===================== Authors are encouraged to submit a one-page abstract by February 17, 2006.

Its already-high demand is even on the rise as the Internet users have started to be familiar with peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies which enable them to share contents between one another directly. Streaming in the P2P manner, in contrast to the traditional client/server approach, takes advantage of existing end-system computational and networking resources, thus allowing economical clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire service community. However, multimedia content is resource demanding while user computing devices are not as powerful as are content servers. Consequently, designing a good decentralized streaming scheme in a large-scale peer-to-peer environment is challenging. The problem becomes more of a challenge due to the ad hoc behavior of peers; they can leave and join the system freely at any time. As people tend to work beyond their office desk, it is also expected that the next generation of communication networks includes rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly without any networking infrastructure such as the Internet and infrastructure-based wireless LANs. In other words, the users form a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). As multimedia streaming becomes an integrated part of an increasing number of applications and wireless networks are emerging to dominate the communication environment of the future, it is interesting and worthwhile to investigate multimedia streaming solutions for MANETs. There are many open issues regarding this investigation due to the deviation between the resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service desired by multimedia streaming users. This special session seeks original contributions of high-quality papers that address novel systems challenges towards the success of multimedia streaming deployment in peer-to-peer, content distribution, and wireless ad hoc networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Signal processing/compression/information theories to support ad hoc multimedia streaming * Modeling, measurement, and performance study on ad hoc multimedia streaming * Internet P2P multimedia streaming * P2P multimedia content distribution networks * Ad hoc overlay solutions for multimedia streaming * Live streaming, video on demand, and video conferencing in wireless ad hoc networks * Network and transport protocols for streaming in wireless ad hoc networks * Management, QoS, and security aspects in streaming over wireless ad hoc networks * Streaming applications in sensor networks * Implementations of multimedia streaming in ad hoc networks Important Dates Paper submission deadline: August 29, 2005 Notification of acceptance: September 30, 2005 Camera-ready version due: October 14, 2005 Special Session Co-Chairs Thinh Nguyen, Oregon State University (thinhq(a)eecs.orst.edu) Duc A. Tran, University of Dayton (duc.tran(a)notes.udayton.edu) Pascal Frossard, EPFL (pascal.frossard(a)epfl.ch) Information for Authors Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers in PS or PDF format to one of the co-chairs via electronic mail. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished work, and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. The first page of the paper should include the authors' names, affiliations, fax/telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The first page should also include a less-than-200-word abstract. The camera-ready version for an accepted paper will be no more than 6 pages in IEEE double-column standard format. Contributions will be reviewed by at least three referees from both the program committee and external reviewers for originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance, and technical contents on basis of papers. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
