-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP-"Next Generation Networking Middleware", NGNM'05; 6 May 2005, Waterloo Ontario, Canada Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 19:15:09 +0200 From: Kormentzas Georgios <gkorm(a)aegean.gr> To: Kormentzas Georgios <gkorm(a)aegean.gr> [My apologies if you receive this more than once] ================================================ *2^nd International WORKSHOP on** ‘Next Generation Networking Middleware’ **(NGNM05)* * */*in the scope of */‘Networking 2005’, 4^th IFIP – TC6 Networking Conference (http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/networking2005/ <http://www.ece.ntua.gr/networking2004/>) *Date*: May, 6^th 2005 *Venue*: Waterloo Ontario, Canada * **IMPORTANT DATES* - Submission of papers: March 20, 2005 - Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2005 - Camera-ready due: April 15, 2005 Scope ====== Networking middleware is the software that integrates applications, the underlying operating systems, network protocol stacks, and hardware. Towards this end, it provides a set of common services and abstractions that enable applications and end-users to exchange information across heterogeneous distributed networking environments. Next-generation applications will be increasingly developed using middleware. This poses several challenges, such as hiding latency, masking partial failures, providing information assurance and security, legacy integration, dynamic service partitioning and load balancing and end-to-end quality of service specification and enforcement. As middleware gains widespread adoption, it becomes essential to investigate, and to capture, the basics and the methodologies of middleware technologies. Middleware technologies, such as CORBA, Java, EJB, Jini and Web Services, became increasingly popular for building both embedded and enterprise applications. A new generation of middleware technologies (so-called vertical, or Internet middleware technologies) is beginning to emerge to solve the problems of interoperability and integration across language, operating system and hardware platform boundaries. The realization of an Internet middleware could dramatically reduce the cost of integration both within and among enterprises and dramatically reduce time-to-market for some types of software, as service re-use becomes a realistic possibility. The underlying technologies for Internet middleware are the familiar industry standard Internet protocols (i.e., IP, TCP, HTTP, SMTP, and others). Support for Web Services standards - like SOAP, WSDL and UDDI - based on XML message formats is layered upon Internet protocols to provide platform-neutral communications between applications. These are then viewed as business services. Before such services can be deployed on a large scale, issues for licensing, usage, billing, versioning and delivery to contracted levels of service performance, need to be addressed. NGNM04 constituted a forum for the discussion of innovations and recent advances in the design and construction of Internet middleware. Both the requirements and expectations from various perspectives (i.e., networking, middleware and application level) were presented and analyzed. The special issue on “Emerging Middleware for Next Generation Networks” of Computer Communications journal complemented the success of NGNM04. NGNM05 will focus on the identification of composite business services running on an Internet middleware platform that allows enterprises/networking actors to publish the services they provide, use services available globally in a secure manner as components of a generic middleware service, automatically compile the service description into an executable process, to deploy and monitor the execution of such composite processes, etc.The middleware platform will contain re-configuration and self-repairing features to enable a composite business service to adapt itself to changes caused by insertion or withdrawal of services, changes in network conditions and changes in user requirements. Relevant topics ---------------- Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished works as well as works on progress in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Standards and APIs Formal methods and tools for middleware systems Middleware for Web services and Web service composition Platforms for cluster, grid and peer-to-peer computing Benchmarking and comparison of middleware platforms Event-based, publish/subscribe and message-oriented middleware Middleware for ubiquitous and mobile computing Reconfigurable, adaptable, autonomic and reflective middleware Programmable, active and adaptive networks Programmable, mobile and intelligent agents "Plug-and-Play" Components-Based management Emerging information models and frameworks Interworking between heterogeneous middleware technologies Software engineering for middleware Security and performance aspects of middleware ** *INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION* ---------------- The workshop welcomes original and review papers from academic and industry contributors dealing with the above or related issues. All submissions will be subjected to review by two reviewers. Papers should be up to 6000 words in English, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. To submit a paper, send an email to Prof. George Kormentzas (gkorm(a)aegean.gr), containing the title, the authors' names, e-mail and post addresses, phone and fax numbers, identification of the contact author, and attach to the same message your paper in PDF or PostScript format. The paper must start with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. All the accepted papers will be published in the workshop’s proceedings. Furthermore, as it happened with NGNM04, some selected papers will be extended in order to be considered for publication in a forthcoming special issue of a journal related to the workshop’s goals. *WORKSHOP CHAIRS * Nikos Anerousis, IBM, USA George Kormentzas, University of the Aegean, Greece *PROGRAMME COMMITTEE* Toufik Ahmed, University of Bordeaux, France Maria Teresa Andrade, INESC Porto, Portugal Hamid Asgari, TRT, UK Eugen Borcoci, Transilvania University, Romania Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada Abdellatif Benjelloun-Toumi, France Telecom, France David Hutchison, Lancaster University, UK Chuck Kalmanek, ATT, USA Alexander Keller, IBM, USA Wolfgang Kellerer, DoCoMo Europe, Germany Alexander Konstantinou, IBM, USA Nick Koudas, ATT, USA Michael Kounavis, Intel, USA Maria Koutsopoulou, University of Athens, Greece Antonio Liotta, University of Surrey, UK Thomas Magedanz, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany Ahmed Mehaoua, University of Versailles, France George Pavlou, University of Surrey, UK Thimios Panagos Voicemate, USA Evaggelos Pallis, University of Crete, Greece Dimitris Pendarakis, IBM, USA Christos Politis, University of Surrey, UK Prashant Pradhan, IBM, USA Martin Stiemerling, NEC Europe Ltd, Germany Noemi Simoni, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, France John Soldatos, AIT, Greece Gosia Steinder, IBM, USA Evaggelos Vayias, Intracom, Greece Iakovos Venieris, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Michael Welzl, University of Innsburg, Austria

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] SIGCOMM workshops: Announcement and Call for papers Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2005 20:14:31 -0500 (EST) From: Saswati Sarkar <swati(a)seas.upenn.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu SIGCOMM Workshops, August 22-26, 2005, Philadelphia, USA This year, SIGCOMM 2005 continues its expanded scope with significant emphasis on workshops. We solicit papers and participation for the following one-day workshops, that will be held in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2005 from August 22 - August 26, 2005 in Philadelphia, PA, US. For a detailed description of the workshops and submission guidelines, visit: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2005/workshops.html 1. Workshop on mining network data (MineNet-05) Todays IP networks are extensively instrumented for collecting a wealth of information including traffic traces (e.g., packet or flow level traces), control (e.g., router forwarding tables, BGP and OSPF updates), and management (e.g., alarms, SNMP traps) data. The real challenge is to process and analyze this vast amount of primarily unstructured information and extract structures, relationships, and higher level knowledge embedded in it and use it to aid network management and operations. The goal of this one day workshop is to explore new directions in network data collection, storage, and analysis techniques, and their application to network monitoring, management, and remediation. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds, including networking, data mining, machine learning, and statistics, to get together and collaboratively approach this problem from their respective vantage points. 2. Workshop on experimental approaches to wireless network design and analysis (E-WIND-05) Research in wireless networking is rapidly becoming more experimental. Research prototypes are being developed for systems ranging from large-scale sensor networks to high-speed wireless access networks. Moreover experimentation and measurement studies are being performed with off-the-shelf hardware and operational testbeds. The goal of this workshop is to bring together experimentalist researchers from diverse backgrounds including wireless hardware platforms, wireless communications, wireless testbeds, and measurement of deployed wireless systems. The workshop will provide a forum for exchange of ideas, challenges, and work-in-progress discussions between both the wireless and wireline measurement communities. The workshop will leave a large space to discussion and possible coordination. 3. Workshop on delay tolerant networking and related networks (WDTN-05) 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 requested. 4. Workshop on economics of peer-to-peer systems (P2PECON-05) From file-sharing to distributed computation, from application layer overlays to mobile ad hoc networking, the ultimate success of a peer-to-peer system rests on the twin pillars of scalable and robust system design and alignment of economic interests among the participating peers. Following the success of the first two workshops, the Third Workshop on Economics of Peer-to-Peer Systems will again bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the economic characteristics of P2P systems, application of economic theories to P2P system design, and future directions and challenges in this area. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] MMNS2005: Call For Papers Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 06:18:10 +0900 (JST) From: Go-Hasegawa <hasegawa(a)ics.es.osaka-u.ac.jp> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu (Please accept our apology if you received this multiple times) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 8th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks & Services (MMNS2005) Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain October 24-26, 2005 The International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services (MMNS) will hold its eighth annual meeting on October 24 through October 26, 2005, in Barcelona, Spain. A single-track conference, MMNS will provide participants with an intimate setting for discussion and debate. MMNS has established itself as a premier conference for research and innovation in management of emerging multimedia technology and networking services. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from industry and academia researching and developing state-of-the-art management systems, while creating a public venue for results dissemination and intellectual collaboration. The demand for real-time services, integrated multimedia communications and mobile application services thrives in today's consumer and corporate market. The need to evolve management tools and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobility and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, data/voice convergence and the integration of computing and communication in all devices. Concepts such as autonomics, self-healing, self-organized and adaptive computing systems are bringing both the academic and industry research communities together to address the challenges of managing complexity and systems problems, where management is inevitably key. MMNS broadly solicits research in network and service management and new models, architectures and designs in technology and services to enable multimedia proliferation. This year, MMNS 2005 will continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, but also emphasize and solicit novel research in management of integrated multimedia services. The MMNS program committee is soliciting original papers describing research in the area of management of multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Multiservice over IP (voice, video and data over IP) network management - Distributed multimedia service management - Mobile multimedia network management - DVB-H management - Advanced audiovisual services management (e.g. videostreaming) - Quality of service (QoS) management - Internet QoS assurance - Multi-point, multicast services management - Deployment of multimedia services - Network management models and architectures - Management of sensor and actuator networks - Billing and security for multimedia services - Content distribution networking - Grid networking for multimedia - Network measurement/Monitoring for multimedia services - Novel protocols for multimedia services For further information, please contact the co-chairs: Jordi Dalmau (jordi.dalmau(a)retevision.es) or Go Hasegawa (hasegawa(a)cmc.osaka-u.ac.jp) Paper Submission: Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

In recent years, the immersiveness of gaming experiences had to be created and conveyed through keyboard and screen alone. Now, the computer as a medium steps back and weaves itself into the fabric of our physical and social environments creating potentially richer experiences. For entertainment and gaming, this holds the chance of reclaiming social and physical aspects to create new and revolutionary forms of play that bridge the gap between the real world and virtual entertainment. With this workshop we bring together researchers who are interested in interactive entertainment and the chances and risks that pervasive computing might add to it. We want to discuss results from this emerging field and share our experiences and visions to identify relevant research questions and future research directions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- --- Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Mixed reality installations * Innovative input devices (Eye-Toys, Magic Wands etc) * Augmented tabletop games * The physical world as a game board * Social experience vs technological experience * Emerging game concepts * Augmented reality games * (Mis-)use of enabling technologies * Mobile computing entertainment * Experience design for heterogeneous devices * Business cases for pervasive computing games * Social implications and social protocols * Privacy and awareness issues * Mixing games and serious applications ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- --- Please visit the workshop site www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/ambiente/pergames2005 for information about participation and submitting papers.
