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

WORKSHOP ON MODELS, METHODS AND TOOLS
FOR REPRODUCIBLE NETWORK RESEARCH (MoMeTools)
in conjunction with SIGCOMM 2003,
Karlsruhe, Germany
25 August 2003
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Compared with other scientific areas such as experimental physics,
network research appears significantly less mature concerning
methodology. Internet research is affected by models that sometimes are
poorly suited to the problem under investigation, by lack of
understanding of properties and limitations of the models used, and by
tools that have various limitations and that are poorly integrated.
While each of the methods analysis, simulation, emula-tion, testbed
experiments and Internet-wide experiments have their own particular
strengths and shortcomings, typically only one of these methods is used
to investigate a particular problem. Certain weaknesses of the chosen
methods can have unwanted implications on the results and deductions
made from them. There appears to be insufficient comparison or
adjustment between results obtained by different methods.
The goal of this workshop is to critically assess the current models,
methods and tools for identifying shortcomings of the state-of-the-art,
and to discuss approaches for improvements and innovation. The workshop
aims for sharing knowledge about how to apply today's tools most
successfully, and for generating a common understanding about what is
needed for net-work research to progress more rapidly and to ensure
widely reproducible results.
The workshop solicits submissions that improve our understanding of the
current state-of-the art, and that help to identify improved models,
methods and tools.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to:
- Reproducibility of experimental network research
- Investigation of scaling effects
- Common code basis for simulation and implementation
- Mathematical methods for error assessment
- Examples and review of commonly observable mistakes
- Simulation vs. emulation vs. testbed experiments
- Comparison of practical, analytical and theoretical evaluations
- Benchmarking and measurement techniques
- Tools for visualization of network behaviour; usage and assessment of
tools
- Generation of realistic network topologies and traffic patterns
Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings published by ACM
SIGCOMM and will be placed in the ACM Digital Library. Following the
workshop, a report on the discussions and conclusions of the workshop
will be published.
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT
The workshop solicits the following types of submissions:
1) Full papers, 2) Position papers on potentially controversial or
provocative topics, and
3) Tool demonstration papers. These will be presented in a practical
session consisting of short presentations combined with live
demonstrations of tools. The corresponding papers undergo a review
process. For illustration purposes of a tool, it is also possible to
submit an online video clip in addition to a papers.
Papers should be no longer than 14 pages; shorter and concise papers are
also highly welcome. Papers should not be anonymized. See the submission
webpage (not yet available) for full submission requirements in the near
future. For any questions please contact MoMeTools(a)tm.uka.de.
