Call for Papers
5th International Workshop on Next Generation Networking Middleware (NGNM) 2008 (part of MANWEEK 2008, September 22-26) September 24, Samos Island, Greece http://www.manweek.org/2008/
In this workshop, we seek original, unpublished papers on different aspects of middleware technologies for enabling Next-Generation Network (NGN) services and applications. Topics of submission include, but are not limited to: * Middleware architecture for converged networks * NGN middleware for triple play and quad play services * NGN middleware for ad hoc, mobile and wireless services * Middleware for NGN mobility support * NGN middleware adaptation to underlying technologies (e.g., cellular, metropolitan area and short range systems) * Resource Allocation and Heterogeneous Network Access in Converged Networks * NGN middleware for content distribution infrastructures and services * Middleware for peer-assisted carrier-grade content delivery. * Publish/subscribe middleware * Scalable, adaptive, and self-managing aspects of middleware * Converged networks policy-based management, monitoring, and control * QoS provisioning, service differentiation, accounting, and billing * Identity management infrastructures and anonymity support infrastructures * Trust, security and privacy issues * Presence and contextual data management * NGN middleware for context-aware applications * NGN middleware for collaborative/P2P applications * NGN middleware for enterprise applications * Middleware support for NGN inter-networking and interoperability with non-NGN systems * Middleware for distributed experimental test beds with real or virtual components * Web Service/Grid-enabled middleware for converged networks * Service modeling and composition * Service deployment and orchestration * Programming paradigms, Web 2.0, and mashups
