[Fwd: [CFP] ACM MM Workshop on Service Composition]
by Lars Wolf 28 Jun '05

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CFP] ACM MM Workshop on Service Composition Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 08:31:08 +0200 From: Christian Becker <christian.becker(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ** please apologize multiple copies of this call ** Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Multimedia Service Composition (MSC’05) Singapore, November 13, 2005 http://www.l3s.de/msc05/index.html AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------- Service-oriented architectures promise to introduce a maximum of flexibility and reus-ability of components into multimedia applications. Since most multimedia applications consist of several complex steps, the composition of basic services to achieve more com-plex goals is a mission critical problem. Moreover, important parameters for QoS have to be closely monitored and aggregated along the service chains to predict or guarantee cer-tain values for the execution of complex workflows. Service composition is also a concept strongly discussed and researched in the Web community today. Web services are expected to take over an essential part of everyday’s responsibilities and their composition is necessary to extend their benefits to even com-plex tasks and value chains. However, most of these Web-based concepts and constructs today suffer from being generally invariant to data types including the new datatypes that are being heavily explored in the multimedia community. Using these well-understood and standardized datatypes the efficient provisioning and improved reusability of compo-nents becomes feasible. Thus, the move from data-driven to service-driven architectures promises to open up a whole new field of value adding multimedia applications dynami-cally built on top of basic components. MSC’05 provides a forum for presenting new challenges and research results in multime-dia service composition. Its predecessor was held in the framework of the Brave New Topics (see www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_braveMMservice.htm) at ACM Multimedia Conference 2004 in New York, USA. We invite researchers, and industrial practitioners to participate and share their knowledge in this forum. We solicit the following types of papers: * Research papers (up to 10 pages) * Application/experience papers (up to 10 pages) All accepted papers will be published by the ACM within a dedicated volume for the workshops of ACM Multimedia 2005. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------- Papers should address specific challenges for service composition in multimedia systems, and propose or evaluate methods, architectures and techniques to overcome these chal-lenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - integration of web and multimedia service composition frameworks - system integration aspects in service composition - service composition support in middleware systems - session management for service compositions - service routing and aspects of distribution - role of service discovery in dynamic composition - semantic enhancements for service discovery /selection - service composition and meta-data representation - semantic distances between advertised service capabilities - ontology-based service capability descriptions (e.g. OWL-S) - service interoperability, interface design and impact on QoS - service level agreements and QoS guarantees of service chains - multimedia service personalization and customization - multimedia application decomposition and service modeling - multimedia process workflows and service composition lifecycle PAPER SUBMISSION AND IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished papers. Submissions should be formatted according to the ACM guidelines and have up to 10 pages. Submis-sions have to be sent by July, 29th 2005 to the workshop chairs • 29 Jul 2005 Workshop papers due • 22 Aug 2005 Notice of acceptance for workshop papers • 29 Aug 2005 Camera ready papers due ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ------------------------------------------ Co-Chairs: Klara Nahrstedt (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA) Wolf-Tilo Balke (L3S Research Center, University of Hannover, Germany) PC members: Christian Becker (University of Stuttgart, Germany) Hao-Hua Chu (National Taiwan University, Taiwan) Peter Dolog (University of Hannover, Germany) Xiaohui Gu (IBM T.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: COMENTS 2005 Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 22:45:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Anupam Banerjee <anupamb(a)andrew.cmu.edu> To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org COMNETS-2005 2nd IEEE/Create-net International Workshop on Deployment Models and First/Last Mile Networking Technologies for Broadband Community Networks www.comnets.org Date: Oct 7th, 2005 Location: Boston, USA Based on the success of its predecessor, the First International Workshop on CN and FTTx, held in Dallas, TX in October 2003, COMNETS 2005 is planned to cover the whole spectrum of issues related to community networks and will integrate the main aspects of planning, design, implementation and operation of Community networks. Community networks have evolved during the last decade in North America and, more recently, in Europe, from the concept of freenets or civic nets tothe idea of open access networks, and represent a dramatic shift from the classical telecom infrastructures, service provisioning methods and business models. The design of community networks requires the solution of challenging engineering tasks. The first objective of the workshop is to address network technology issues that include the optimal combination of wire-based and wireless technologies for the access part, the integration of the core/distribution and access networks, the provisioning of end-to-end quality of service for multimedia and other applications, the design of scalable applications and services tailored to the bandwidth and the access quality. On the other hand, CNs, often being created, owned and operated with the participation of a local or regional government, are based on specific business models and service provisioning methods. Thus, the second objective of the workshop is to address the related business and social issues that include business models for planning, implementing, and operating CNs, legal/regulatory environment, planning of e-government, e-health, e-learning services. Case studies from all over the world are most welcome.Original unpublished papers are solicited in areas including but not restricted to the following: •Guidelines for network design and technology selection •QoS support and service differentiation •Implementation/operation experience •New technology testing experience •Wireless community networks •Wireline (PLC, Fiber, xDSL) community networks •Legal frameworks: experiences and new challenges •Business oriented tests and case studies •Municipal fiber, customer owned fiber networks •Public-private ownership structures •Killer applications for community networks (e-gov, e-health applications, e-learning) •Providing entertainment services on CNs •Case studies and experiences Important Dates: June 30th 2005 Paper submission deadline Aug 31th 2005 Acceptance Notification Sept 15th 2005 Camera Ready papers Oct 7th 2005 Workshop Organizing committee General and Program Chairs: Ashwin Gumaste(Fujitsu Laboratories) Hakki Cankaya(Alcatel Research) Csaba A.

FYI -----Original Message----- From: Marco Roccetti [mailto:roccetti@cs.unibo.it] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 1:07 PM To: multicomm(a)comsoc.org Cc: Marco Roccetti Subject: cfp for NIME'06 /* 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 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. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas. Technologies for Entertainment: - Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games - Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...) - Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for Entertainment - Media and Device Adaptation - Music and Movie Distribution - Next Generation Wireless Technologies for Entertainment (IEEE802.11n, UWB and Beyond) - Opportunistic Multi-hopping and Opportunistic Networks for Entertainment - QoS and Security Support for Entertainment - Resource and Service Discovery Technologies (P2P, LDAP, etc) - Technologies for Networked In- Home/Car/Flight/Train Entertainment - TV-Centric and Broadcast Networks for Entertainment Entertainment Applications: - Agent-based Entertainment - Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality - Artificial Intelligence - Evolutionary Entertainment - Interactive Television and Theater - Massive Multiplayer Games - Mobile and Wireless Entertainment - Networked Entertainment - Networked Narrative and Digital Interactive Storytelling - Networked Video, Music and Sound Design - Pervasive Entertainment - Personalized and User-Adapted Television - Sport, News and Entertainment - Virtual Technology and Virtual Environments for Entertainment - Wearable Entertainment - Wireless and Mobile Gaming - Testbed and Performance Evaluatio Important Dates August 10, 2005 Paper submission September 23, 2005 Author Notification October 7, 2005 Camera-ready Copy Sponsoring Committee IEEE ComSoc Multimedia Communications Technical Committee Co-Chairs Marco Roccetti (University of Bologna, Italy, roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it) Giovanni Pau (UCLA, USA, gpau(a)cs.ucla.edu) Abdennour El-Rhalibi (Liverpool John Moores University, UK, A.Elrhalibi(a)livjm.ac.uk) Technical Program Committee (to be confirmed) Ian Akyildiz (Georgia Tech, USA) Yucel Altunbasak (Georgia Tech, USA) Alessandro Amoroso (University of Bologna, Italy) Robert Askwith (Liverpool John Moores University, UK) Luigi Atzori (University of Cagliari, Italy) Paul Bousted (University of Wollongong, Australia) Gary Chan (Univ.
