01 Jul '05

/* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. */ *********** 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 Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.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 - 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 Entertainment Applications: - Agent-based Entertainment - Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality - Artificial Intelligence - Evolutionary Entertainment - 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 Evaluatio Important Dates August 10, 2005 Paper submission September 23, 2005 Author Notification October 7, 2005 Camera-ready Copy Sponsoring Committee IEEE ComSoc Multimedia Communications Technical Committee Co-Chairs Marco Roccetti (University of Bologna, Italy, roccetti(a)cs.unibo.it) Giovanni Pau (UCLA, USA, gpau(a)cs.ucla.edu) Abdennour El-Rhalibi (Liverpool John Moores University, UK, A.Elrhalibi(a)livjm.ac.uk) Technical Program Committee (to be confirmed) Yucel Altunbasak (Georgia Tech, USA) Alessandro Amoroso (University of Bologna, Italy) Robert Askwith (Liverpool John Moores University, UK) Luigi Atzori (University of Cagliari, Italy) Paul Bousted (University of Wollongong, Australia) Gary Chan (Univ.

Mintus 2005/1 (modified)
by Otto Spaniol 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

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

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 -----Original Message----- From: Guy Pujolle [mailto:Guy.Pujolle@lip6.fr] Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2004 10:25 PM To: Raouf Boutaba Cc: Otto Spaniol; brunnstein(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de Subject: IFIP and IEEE 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.
