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In this workshop, we seek original, unpublished papers on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
