=============================
3rd International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference
(M O B I M E D I A 2 0 0 7)
Supported by ACM, EURASIP, ICST, Create-Net
Nafpaktos, Greece, August 27 - 29, 2007
http://www.mobimedia.org
SCOPE
The successful development of multimedia services and applications in
mobile environments requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach where
both multimedia and networking issues are addressed jointly. Multimedia
semantic characteristics, Human Interpretation of audiovisual information,
extraction and usage of semantic information, coding standards and its
interaction with networking, mobility and security protocols are research
issues that need to be carefully examined when proposing new solutions.
Many are the applications that will be enabled by the new standards for
mobile networking, such as triple services for mobile networks, digital
television, video streaming, interactive gaming, navigation services,
context aware services, and immersive communications in virtual
environments. The efficient delivery of multimedia applications and
services over emerging diverse and heterogeneous wireless networks is a
challenging research objective. The research effort for the 3G/4G vision
of interworking among heterogeneous technologies to achieve multimedia
session continuity, retain multimedia QoS characteristics etc., amplifies
the need to evaluate the conditions and restrictions under which delivery
of such services can be accomplished.
Within this scope, MobiMedia is intended to provide a unique international
forum for researchers from industry and academia, working in multimedia
coding, and mobile networking fields to study new applications, solutions,
and standards. Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can
improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient
technologies and the relevant provision of advanced mobile multimedia
applications.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Multimedia semantic characteristics in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous
environments
* Multimedia QoS in wireless networks
* Extraction and usage of semantic information
* Performance evaluation of multimedia services

CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing Performance:
Aspects, Issues, and Approaches
http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~kchiu/socp07/
Monterey Bay, California
June 26, 2007
In conjunction with HPDC 2007
http://www.isi.edu/hpdc2007/
Service-oriented computing (SOC) is an emerging paradigm that is
changing the way systems are designed, architected, deployed, and
used. SOC decomposes computation into a set of loosely-coupled,
abstract services, and emphasizes document-centric interactions
through the exchange of messages. Services can be composed, nested,
and orchestrated into a variety of control patterns and workflows.
SOC has seen adoption in areas such scientific computing, Grid
computing, and business computing, and can facilitate wide-scale
application integration within and across organizational boundaries.
SOC's loosely-coupled, document-centricity, and high degrees of
encapsulation and self-description challenge performance in a number
of aspects. New techniques of performance analysis, modeling, and
prediction can address some of these challenges, but further research
is still needed. Different programming paradigms, design
methodologies, or programming language principles also may reduce or
eliminate some of the abstraction, encapsulation, and composition
costs of SOC. Multicore chips and cluster-wide parallelism also offer
interesting avenues for improving and investigating SOC performance.
Advanced processing techniques or encodings for languages such as XML
also may play a role.
We invite innovative papers on any aspect of performance and SOC from
all communities, such as the WWW community, the programming languages
community, and the Grid community. We welcome different types of
papers, including experimental, works-in-progress, and position
papers. By bringing together different communities, perspectives, and
approaches, this workshop will seek to focus and clarify the
state-of-the-art, leading to cross-fertilization. Topics include, but
are not limited to:
* Distributed, multicore, and parallel processing and protocols
(execution models, architectures, properties, performance
evaluation)
* Alternative XML representations and encodings, such as
"binary" XML
* Code generation, incremental, lazy, and streaming techniques
for improving the performance of SOC at all levels of the
services stack
* Programming language and compiler techniques such type-based
optimizations, static analysis, and transformations
* Hardware acceleration techniques for SOC such as
reconfigurable computing and hybrid computing
* Reducing encapsulation, abstraction, orchestration, and
composition costs of SOC
* Performance analysis, modeling, and prediction as it relates
to SOC
* Security and performance
Paper Submission

******************* ATC-07 Call For Papers**********************
The 4th International Conference on Autonomic
and Trusted Computing (ATC-07)
- Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality -
http://www.atc-conference.org/2007/http://ehpclab.stfx.ca/~atc07/
Organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China
In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society
Hong Kong, China, July 11-13, 2007
*************************************************************
Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and
networks are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity,
becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical
with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive
systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic
Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication
systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization,
self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum
extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing
(OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like
self-organization and controlled emergence.
Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk
of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail.
Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive
infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and
cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy
Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as
well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable,
assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy
protect-able, etc.
A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable
autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-07 addresses the
most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and
includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing
(AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-07 is a successor of the First
Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems
(TAUES-05, Japan, Dec.), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic
Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria, Apr.), and the 3rd International
Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, Three Gorges,
China, Sep.).
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
-AC/OC Theory and Models
* Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation,
competition, self-organization, emergence, etc.
-AC/OC Architectures and Systems
* Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks,
middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc.
-AC/OC Components and Modules
* Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy,
software, OS, I/O, etc.
-AC/OC Communication and Services
* Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid,
P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc.
-AC/OC Tools and Interfaces
* Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development,
test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc.
-Trust Models and Specifications
* Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust,
over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc.
-Trust-related Security and Privacy
* Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy,
intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc.
-Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems
* Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness,
survivable systems, failure recovery, etc.
-Trustworthy Services and Applications
* Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secure mobile
services, novel applications, etc.
-Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues
* Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics,
sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc.

******************* ATC-07 Call For Papers**********************
The 4th International Conference on Autonomic
and Trusted Computing (ATC-07)
- Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality -
http://www.atc-conference.org/2007/http://ehpclab.stfx.ca/~atc07/
Organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China
In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society
Hong Kong, China, July 11-13, 2007
*************************************************************
Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and
networks are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity,
becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical
with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive
systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic
Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication
systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization,
self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum
extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing
(OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like
self-organization and controlled emergence.
Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk
of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail.
Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive
infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and
cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy
Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as
well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable,
assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy
protect-able, etc.
A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable
autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-07 addresses the
most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and
includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing
(AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-07 is a successor of the First
Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems
(TAUES-05, Japan, Dec.), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic
Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria, Apr.), and the 3rd International
Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, Three Gorges,
China, Sep.).
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
-AC/OC Theory and Models
* Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation,
competition, self-organization, emergence, etc.
-AC/OC Architectures and Systems
* Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks,
middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc.
-AC/OC Components and Modules
* Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy,
software, OS, I/O, etc.
-AC/OC Communication and Services
* Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid,
P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc.
-AC/OC Tools and Interfaces
* Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development,
test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc.
-Trust Models and Specifications
* Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust,
over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc.
-Trust-related Security and Privacy
* Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy,
intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc.
-Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems
* Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness,
survivable systems, failure recovery, etc.
-Trustworthy Services and Applications
* Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secure mobile
services, novel applications, etc.
-Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues
* Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics,
sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc.
