19 Jul '18

Dear TC6 members, The deadline for hotel registration in Libon ended yesterday. I managed to get an extension of that deadline until September 13th. Please remember that the hotel cannot guarantee rooms after that date. I would thank also that those of you who come to the Lisbon meeting, but are not staying in the Melia Hotel, please let me know. Best regards Augusto

Please circulate to your colleagues to ensure a good turnout. For further information about the conference please see the web site at http://ee-server.ee.qub.ac.uk/dsp/mmns2003/ Best Regards, Ahmed Mehaoua (Publicity chair) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MMNS 2003 6th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services 7th - 10th September 2003, Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland http://www.ee.qub.ac.uk/mmns2003 Second Call For Papers Multimedia services over IP networks are proliferating at an enormous speed. There is also increasing demand for solutions which provide assured levels of service quality. All of these require novel paradigms, models and architectures for realising integrated end-to-end service management rather than managing network elements in isolation. Providing scalable Quality of Service (QoS) while maintaining fairness, along with secure and optimal network resource management are key challenges for the future Internet. These challenges apply to both fixed and wireless networks. The IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services will hold its sixth annual meeting from September 7th to September 10th, 2003 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. MMNS provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate. In just 6 years, MMNS has established itself as one of the premier conferences with a focus on the management of multimedia networks and services. The conference objective is to bring together researchers working in all facets of network and service management as applied to broadband networks and multimedia services. MMNS deals with all aspects of designing, developing and deploying networked multimedia systems and it serves as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research and development results. MMNS 2003 will also include panel sessions in which experts offer their observations and opinions about current hot topics. The keynote speaker will be Professor Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology who will present a vision of future interplanetary network architectures. Professor Derek McAuley, head of Intel's recently formed laboratory at Cambridge, UK, will describe some of the new research being undertaken on global overlay networks and applications. The 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, the following: * Active multimedia network management * Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks * Augmented and Virtual Reality Networks * Billing and Accounting * Cable multimedia network management * Content distribution internetworking * Deployment of multimedia services * Distributed multimedia service management * End-to-end IP multimedia network and service management * IP Video, streaming, interactive video service management * Middleware support for management * Multimedia network traffic engineering and optimization * Multimedia traffic management * Multimedia content protection * Multimedia session management * Multi-point, multicast services management * Network management models and architectures * Network programmability for multimedia services * Optical multimedia network management * Policy-based management for multi-media services * Provisioning of multimedia networks and services * QoS in WLANs * QoS management * Resource, performance and fault management * Security and Authentication * VoIP service management * Web Services * Wireless and mobile multimedia network management Papers must be submitted electronically in postscript or PDF format. Detailed instructions are provided on the conference web site, http://www.ee.qub.ac.uk/mmns2003.

IWQoS is a successful series of workshops that aims to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on QoS. Traditionally, IWQoS workshops are cross-disciplinary and well focused, with the emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time is devoted to informal discussion. In addition to the traditional QoS topics such as service guarantees and admission control, this year we aimed to expand the scope of the workshop by encouraging submissions offering research contributions related to robustness, resilience, security, and predictability in networking and distributed systems. As a result, the program included two sessions on availability, fault tolerance, and dependability. The other sessions covered routing, resource allocation, storage, Web services, incentives, and rate based QoS.

============ Our apologies if you have received multiple copies. ============ CALL FOR PAPERS 6th ACM MSWiM 2003 The Sixth International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (Jointly with ACM MobiCom 2003, September 14-19) September 19, 2003 San Diego, CA, USA http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2003/ MSWiM is intended to provide an international forum for the discussion and presentation of original ideas, recent results and achievements by researchers, students, and systems developers on issues and challenges related to mobile and wireless systems. Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance on all aspects of modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile computing and wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Performance evaluation and modeling of mobile and wireless communication networks * Simulation and analysis of wireless protocols and mobile computing systems * Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation of mobile and wireless systems * Survivability and reliability evaluation and modeling * RF channel capacity modeling and analysis * Design methodologies for wireless systems * Network support for QoS provisioning in wireless and mobile networks * Modeling and analysis of wireless Internet access * Traffic measurements and models for audio, video, multimedia, and WWW services * New simulation languages and tools for wireless systems * Database management systems and mobile computing (location-based queries, wireless data caching, mobile transactions) * Wireless data dissemination (broadcasting and indexing techniques) * Pervasive computing and ad hoc networking * Wireless PANs, LANs * Sensor networks * Mobile agents support for wireless networks PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION High-quality original papers are solicited. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference. Paper length should not exceed 20 pages. Only Postscript and PDF formats are accepted. Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system. For paper submission, please follow the submission instructions at: http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2003/ Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by by ACM CS-press. A Special Issue with ACM/Baltzer MONET/WINET will be planned which will contain selected papers from MSWiM.
