+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 10th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on | | Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS 2007) | | | | October 29 - November 2, 2007 - San Jose, California | | http://magellan.tssg.org/2007/mmns/mmns.php | | | | CALL FOR PAPERS | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS) will hold its tenth annual meeting on October 29 through November 2, 2007, in Silicon Valley, California, USA, as part of the 3rd International Week on Management of Networks and Services (Manweek 2007). The single-track MMNS conference will provide participants with a high quality and intimate setting for discussion and debate. The conference is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM).
SCOPE OF MMNS 2007 MMNS has established itself as a premier conference for research and innovation in management of multimedia technology and networked services. The scope of the conference has been expanded in recent years to include management of emerging mobile and wireless networks. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from academia and industry interested in state-of-the-art management of multimedia systems over mobile wireless networks, while creating a public venue for results dissemination and intellectual collaboration. Multimedia real-time services are expected to be among the most important applications of next generation mobile wireless networks such as the forthcoming 4G networks. Efficient management of these services is a key ingredient in the effort to provide cost effective, innovative services that are likely to become a major source of income both for the network and content providers. 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 communications in all devices. The academic and industry research communities should unify forces to address the challenges of developing and operating such services. Inevitably, management is a key element in addressing this challenge. Autonomous services and the service-oriented architecture are emerging concepts that can enable efficient management of resources in these complex systems. The MMNS 2007 technical program committee is soliciting research papers in the broad area of network and service management and new models, architectures and designs in technology and services to enable multimedia and mobility proliferation in next generation mobile and wireless networks. MMNS 2007 will continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, and will emphasize and solicit novel research in management of mobile networks.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to: ● Mobile multimedia network management ● Management of wireless ad-hoc/mesh networks ● Management of 4G systems ● Management of sensor and actuator networks ● Management of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) ● Network measurement/monitoring for multimedia and mobile services ● Multi-service over IP (voice, video and data over IP) network management ● Grid networking for multimedia ● Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks ● Quality of service management in multimedia and mobile networks ● Planning and optimisation of multimedia and mobile networks ● IP Multimedia System (IMS) operations and management ● Management of Content distribution networking ● Distributed multimedia service management ● Performance evaluation of multimedia and mobile services ● Multimedia transmission and resource management for OFDMA protocols ● Wireless Multimedia broadcast/multicast technologies ● Novel protocols for multimedia services ● Multi-point, multicast service management ● Seamless mobility of multimedia services ● Pricing, Accounting and Billing for multimedia services ● Security management for mobile and multimedia networks and services ● Self-properties of multimedia and mobile networks and services ● Network Virtualization for network management and service provisioning ● Remote over-the-air manageability in mobile networks ● End-to-end management for multimedia transmission in wireless networks ● Mobile platform architecture optimizations for manageability services ● Network manageability across heterogeneous wireless networks ● Novel network architectures for mobile network management services
PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged for submission to MMNS 2007. Papers under review elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted to MMNS 2007. Authors are requested to submit either long papers or short papers (work-inprogress reports), strictly in LNCS format (see below): ● Long papers (up to 12 single-spaced single-column pages) ● Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 4 pages) Submissions exceeding the above mentioned paper size will not be reviewed and will be returned to the authors. Please see Submission for detailed instructions.
PROCEEDINGS The MMNS 2007 proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
