Extended DEADLINE CFP:IEEE Workshop on Multimedia Entertainment NIME@Globecom 2004
by Giovanni Pau 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

Our Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please Note the EXTENDED DEADLINES. Regards Giovanni Pau, Marco Roccetti & S.S. Lee CALL FOR PAPERS 1st IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'04) http://nime04.csr.unibo.it/nime04 GLOBECOM 2004 - Satellite Workshop November 29th 2004 Dallas, TX, USA EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE July 5th 2004 ============================== The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. Many of the technologies pioneered in emerging entertainment applications have also found use in a large spectrum of more serious settings, ranging from telemedicine to in-home, in-car, in-flight multimedia distribution platforms. The success of the entertainment technology is confirmed by several facts. Take, for example, the two following cases: in 2003 the revenues generated by games have yet again surpassed those provided by the movie industry; the Apple iTunes online music service has hit a record share of almost 20% in the MP3 player market in the last semester of 2003. Further, while in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences (e.g., video on demand), continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. Simply put, today's entertainment technology is able to create "entertainment spaces" in which people experience a world where games, movies, songs, plus news, sport events and shows, are all made available for instant enjoyment with just one click. Another beneficial aspect of high-tech entertainment is that this phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, however, only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a "large interactive environment" for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless Internet (along with its protocols, architectures, programming styles and technological solutions) may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The first IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on Next-Generation Multimedia Networking concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Networked Technologies for Entertainment: - Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games - Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session - Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...) - Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for Entertainment - Media and Device Adaptation - Music and Movie Distribution - Next Generation Wireless Technologies for Entertainment (IEEE802.11n, UWB and Beyond) - Opportunistic Multi-hopping and Opportunistic Networks for Entertainment - QoS and Security Support for Entertainment - Resource and Service Discovery Technologies (P2P, LDAP, ...) - Technologies for Networked In-Home/Car/Flight/Train Entertainment - TV-Centric and Broadcast Networks for Entertainment Emerging Entertainment Applications: - Agent-based Entertainment - Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality - Evolutionary Entertainment - Field Trials - Interactive Television and Theater - Massive Multiplayer Games - Mobile and Wireless Entertainment - Networked Entertainment - Networked Narrative and Digital Interactive Storytelling - Networked Video, Music and Sound Design - Pervasive Entertainment - Personalized and User-Adapted Television - Sport, News and Entertainment - Virtual Technology and Virtual Environments for Entertainment - Wearable Entertainment - Wireless and Mobile Gaming - Testbed and Performance Evaluations Guidelines for Paper Submission Original papers from the above mentioned topics or related areas will be considered.

13 Jun '04

CALL FOR PAPERS Computer Communications Special Issue: Monitoring and Measurements of IP Networks Guest Editors: Raouf Boutaba (rboutaba(a)uwaterloo.ca), University of Waterloo, Canada Ehab Al-Shaer (ehab(a)cs.depaul.edu), DePaul University, USA Kevin Almeroth (almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu), UC-Santa Barbara, USA Important Dates: Deadline for submissions: September 1 2004 Notification of acceptance: February 2005 Final papers due: April 2005 Publication: Summer 2005 The measurement of IP network performance has been the subject of a significant amount of recent research. The ultimate goal is to provide Internet service providers, as well as end-users, sufficient understanding of end-to-end network performance characteristics, routing behavior and network anomalies. This understanding is important for developing new network models, protocols, and resource optimization required to assure an acceptable quality of service. However, the ever changing traffic mix in the Internet, the appearance of peer-to-peer applications, and the increasing demand for mobility represent new challenges for IP performance management. Performance measurement involves a number of steps including monitoring, sampling, filtering, and analyzing data on-line/off-line and from many local/remote points. This special issue is seeking original and unpublished contributions addressing issues related to IP performance monitoring and analysis for enterprise networks and the Internet. Of particular interest are novel monitoring and measurement techniques that improve the state-of-the-art in data collection; experiments that collect, analyze, and make available data for use by other researchers; and analysis of data collected from local or wide area networks that give insights into Internet behavior. Examples of selected topics include but are not limited to: . IP measurements and monitoring . Measurement methods, tools and infrastructures . Measuring voice and video performance over IP . Traffic engineering and measurement of traffic matrices . Workload characterization and traffic analysis . Web, peer-to-peer and overlay networks measurements . Active and passive measurement techniques . Design of monitoring systems . Path measurements and filtering . Measurements of mobility and grid services . Sampling and filtering techniques . Network/Internet topology discovery . SLA and Quality of Service monitoring . Network security attack analysis . Experimental test beds and results . Reassessment of previous measurement findings SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Guidelines on formatting the paper are given at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom. Authors are invited to submit full original papers in electronic form (PDF or postscript) to one of the guest editors.

TC6 budget for 2005
by Otto Spaniol 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

Dear all, Firstly: The minutes of meeting 2004/1 in Athens will be distributed early next week; thanks to Peter Radford who has almost finished that task. Secondly: The TC6 budget has to be submitted until the end of June. I would like to keep it in the order of the busdet for 2004 which was as follows (please note the following excerpt of the minutes of meeting 2003/2): ---- TC6 approved a budget of 25,000 Euros for 2004. It is split as follows in the different items: Best Paper Awards - 5,000 Euros Student Travel Grants - 11,000 Euros Grants to speakers for developing countries - 4,000 Euros Operating Expenses - 5,000 Euros. During the meeting Best Paper Awards of 500 Euros each were approved for Testcom, Networking, Middleware, FORTE, PWC, MWCN, WWW, MMNS, DSOM and Intellcom. During the meeting Student Travel Grants were also approved for Testcom (750 Euro), Middleware (1,500 Euro), FORTE (750 Euro), Networking (2,000 Euro), PWC (1,500 Euro), WWW (1,500 Euro) and Intellcom (1,500 Euro). The speaker?s grants will be for ICT (1,000 Euro), SRBC (1,000 Euro), CLEI (1,000 Euro) and Intellcom (1,000 Euro). ---- **** WG 6.1 - 6.11 chairs **** 1. Please check whether these requests are valid also for 2005. 2. Please indicate new or changed requests to me until June 20 at the latest. **** Other delegates **** Please indicate (until June 20) whether we should modify the abovementioned sums or not. You may find the new rules in pages 16.1-16.20 of the meeting documents for the Athens meeting, in particular in pages 16.16 + 16.17. They say: TC's with a fund balance above 15.000 EURO in year n will have to use in year n+1 at least 20 percent of the amount above 15.000 EURO for activities that serve thegoal of TC6 (not for operational expenses!) such as: - Tutorials in developing countries - Grants for speakers at conferences in developing countries - Grants for speakers from developing countries - Student grants - Best paper awards - ..... In the case of TC6 the funds balance was (in 2003) roughly 80.000 EURO, i.e. 65.000 EURO above the 15.000 EURO threshold. We will therefore have to use 20 percent of 65.000 EUROS, i.e. 13.000 EURO, for the beforementioned activities (otherwise the difference to 13.000 EURO will be transferred to the IFIP General fund). Our budget for 2004 was (without operational expenses) 20.000 EURO. This is well above 13.000 EURO but we might nevertheless take this amount as an estimation for 2005. Best regards Otto
