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

Dear all,
attached is a modified version of the minutes of meeting 2005/1
which takes into account several comments of participating
delegates.
Another important item:
Please inform me *as soon as possible* about budget requests
for 2006. This concerns scheduled conferences and cost for:
- Best paper awards
- student grants
- tutorial speakers etc.
These cost should be in the same line as in previous years, at least
significant increases are not at all wanted or even possible.
A last topic:
It is not so easy for me to send you a modified calendar etc.
Reasons for that are workload and ... the fact that Canada
is a very clean country ;-)
At the end of the first day of meeting 2005/1 we were told that we could leave
everything in the meeting room but we found at the beginning of the second day
that all that material had disappeared due to room cleaning.
Thus a reconstruction of some items is not so easy or might be even
impossible.
Best regards
Otto

>(Typical grant is about 1500 EUR to support two participants. Please note
>that grant is contribution or support and does not always cover full
>expenses).
Dear all (in particular: WG 6.9),
an application is possible for DCSC grants (DCSC = Developing Countries
Support Committee).
It concerns participation at conferences in 2006.
See the attached message from Dipak Khakhar about that.
Please send me your porposals until July 12.
Best regards
Otto
----------------------------
Dear TC chairs,
The budget work is processing as usual.
I have reserved EUR 20,000 for DCSC support for year 2006.
In order to have a fair distribution of the grant, I would appreciate
very much if you send me a simple application for the grant.
The application should mention name of the events, Event number, dates and
the amount.
I would appreciate your application by 15 July in order to make
decision at GA in Gabarone.
The grant should then be announced in the conference announcement.
With best regards
Dipak
I have presented the two solutions proposed by TC6 to IEEE ComSoc. They
prefer the first solution. Please let me know what are the next steps.

Raouf,
TC6 proposes the two following solutions:
1. IFIP keeps the copyright and selects LNCS as a publisher LNCS publishes
in paper and in its digital library. There will be a three party agreement
among IFIP, IEEE ComSoc and Springer
to allow the publication also in IEEE Explorer
2. IFIP keeps the copyright
IEEE will be the publisher
IEEE will publish as a paper version and is published in the IEEE Explorer
too
IEEE pays for the royalties to IFIP as written in the new proposal by IEEE.
TC6 prefers option 2 because it is simpler, but we find a good idea to have
two proposals to negotiate with IEEE.
Otto Spaniol and Klaus Brunnstein will support you if required
Best regards,
Guy
