The 10th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management
Symposium (NOMS 2006) will be held 3-7 April 2006 in
the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center, Vancouver,
Canada. Held in even-numbered years since 1988, NOMS 2006
will follow the 18 year tradition of NOMS and IM as the
primary forum for technical exchange of the research,
standards, development, systems integration, service
provider, and user communities. NOMS 2006 will present
up-to-date approaches and technical solutions for
integrated systems and services including communication
networks, host systems, enterprise applications, service
oriented architectures, and delivery of management services.
The conference provides a peer-reviewed program of technical
sessions, application sessions, tutorials, posters, and
panels as well as vendor exhibits.
Integrated systems and services require considerations for
today?s multi-service and multi-domain environment of
heterogeneous technologies, service offerings, management
strategies, and business models. NOMS 2006 focuses on
integrated management that encompasses provisioning,
operation, and maintenance. This broad scope also calls
for an integrated approach to dependability, resilience,
quality-of-service, mobility management, and services
billing. In particular, these considerations include the
combination of wireless and wired networks and the
integration of all-IP communication systems.

technical, application, poster, panel, and BoF. Technical
sessions present high-quality papers on the latest
research results in the network operations and management
area. Application sessions present papers focusing on the
experience of IT and telecommunications industries, such
as service providers, OSS vendors, and equipment
manufacturers. The scope here includes customer
requirements, management system implementations, and
business practices. Poster sessions provide an insight

CALL FOR PAPERS - FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT
IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues
in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'06)
CCNC 2006 - Workshop
January 7-10, 2006, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society
The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost
reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of
the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment
technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences,
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. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse
group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as
networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation,
multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and
software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes
interdisciplinary fusion, yet 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 may take over this
complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The second 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 networked multimedia 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.

- 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, etc)
- Technologies for Networked In-
Home/Car/Flight/Train Entertainment
- TV-Centric and Broadcast Networks for Entertainment

CALL FOR PAPERS - FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT
IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues
in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'06)
CCNC 2006 - Workshop
January 7-10, 2006, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society
The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost
reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of
the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment
technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences,
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. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse
group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as
networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation,
multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and
software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes
interdisciplinary fusion, yet 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 may take over this
complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The second 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 networked multimedia 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.
