EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE: July 20, 2004
*******************************************
The RAID symposium brings together leading researchers and practitioners from
academia, government, and industry to discuss intrusion detection technologies
and issues from research and commercial perspectives.
This year's program features a single technical track with 14 full papers and
2 practical experience reports selected from almost 120 submissions. It also
includes invited speakers, a poster session as well as an abstracts' session.
The abstracts' session offers attendees the opportunity to present preliminary
research results or summaries of work published elsewhere. Poster presentations
of similar research results are also possible on Wednesday evening. Abstract
submissions from people not presenting posters are also welcome. Submissions
to either poster or abstract session should be sent to <dacier(a)eurecom.fr>.

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. Each submitted
paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process. The
accepted papers will be published in the IEEE-sponsored workshop
proceedings. Submission guidelines should be strictly followed.
1. Submit an electronic copy of the paper in a .pdf or .ps format
through the EDAS paper submission site (hhtp://edas.info).
2. The body of the paper should not exceed 15 pages double spaced
(4000 words, 12 point font).
3. A separate cover sheet should show the title of the paper, the
author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including
e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.
