*************** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION **********************
ISWCS 2005
2nd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems
http://www.iswcs.org/iswcs2005
5 - 7 September 2005, Siena, Italy
*************** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION **********************
The Technical Program includes 100 full papers and 33 poster papers. Out of 252 submissions, the Technical Program Committee worked very diligently and professionally in the selection of the final papers, with at least three reviews for each submitted contribution. The Program is structured in three parallel tracks and 5 sessions per track, with a total of 15 sessions. The three tracks represent key areas in wireless communications, namely: wireless network layer; radio channel modulation and coding, and; wireless network applications. The session topics (and the paper contributions) are very indicative of current research interests in the wireless field. Please find more information with regards to the technical program at the following URL: http://www.iswcs.org/iswcs2005/plan_technical_sessions_ISWCS_2005.pdf
Posters represent work in progress and have been given a very visible role (and an important slot) in the program. In fact, the poster presentations will follow immediately the Plenary Session on the morning of Sept 7. We expect active discussion around posters and interaction with authors. The panel will precede the social dinner on Sept 6 it will be addressing the very timely and, in many aspects still controversial topic, entitled "Towards a wireless and ubiquitous information society". The panelists comprise of researchers from IBM, Harris Corporation, Alcatel, KDDI R&D Lab, among others.
We have been very lucky to secure two well known and esteemed researchers in the wireless community Dr Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research and Prof Dharma P. Agrawal, University of Cincinnati - as keynote and plenary speakers respectively. Dr Bahl talk Bridging the Information Divide: Challenges & Opportunities will touch a very critical problem created by the Internet today and will describe how wireless technologies will enable ubiquitous connectivity and services connecting rural villages in remote areas using a programmable mobile platform. Prof Agrawal talk, entitled Why use Aggregate Logical Sensor Units for large Sensor Networks?, will address a critical area of sensor networks tight energy constraints. Dr Agrawal will show that such constraints can be relaxed by aggregating off the shelf sensors into logical units that support the desired functions.

CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues
in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'06)
http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/conf_program/nime_workshop/
Co Located with CCNC 2006
January 7-10, 2006, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society
THE PROCEEDINGS WILL BE PUBLISHED BY IEEE AND AVAILABLE IN THE IEEE EXPLORE
********
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.
Technologies for Entertainment:
- Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games

Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...)
- Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for
Entertainment
- Media and Device Adaptation
- Music and Movie Distribution

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
Entertainment Applications:
- Agent-based Entertainment
- Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality
- Artificial Intelligence
