7th International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks &
Services
Host:
IT@Intel Information Technology Research
Intel Corporation
San Diego, California, USA
October 3-6, 2004
====================================================================
The International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and
Services (MMNS) will hold its seventh annual meeting on October 3
through October 6, 2004, in San Diego, California. A single-track
conference, MMNS will provide participants with an intimate setting for
discussion and debate.
MMNS has established itself as a premier conference for research and
innovation in management of emerging multimedia technology and
networking services. The objective of the conference is to bring
together researchers and scientists from industry and academia
researching and developing state-of-the-art management systems, while
creating a public venue for results dissemination and intellectual
collaboration.
The demand for real-time services, integrated multimedia communications
and mobile application services thrives in today's consumer and
corporate market. The need to evolve management tools and methodologies
to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the
proliferation of mobility and wireless systems, intelligent and
broadband networks, data/voice convergence and the integration of
computing and communication in all devices. Concepts such as autonomics,
self-healing, self-organized and adaptive computing systems are bringing
both the academic and industry research communities together to address
the challenges of managing complexity and systems problems, where
management is inevitably key.
MMNS broadly solicits research in network and service management and new
models, architectures and designs in technology and services to enable
multimedia proliferation. This year, MMNS 2004 will continue the success
of the outstanding agendas of the past, but also emphasize and solicit
novel research in network autonomics and new architectures in wireless
systems and multimedia services to facilitate security, quality of
service and mobility.

CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd WORKSHOP ON PRIVACY IN THE ELECTRONIC SOCIETY
Washington, DC, USA - October 28, 2004
Sponsored by ACM SIGSAC
Held in association with 11th ACM CCS 2004
http://seclab.dti.unimi.it/wpes2004
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Privacy issues have been the subject of public debates and the need
for privacy-aware policies, regulations, and techniques has been
widely recognized. Goal of this workshop is to discuss the problems of
privacy in the global interconnected societies and possible solutions
to it. The 2004 Workshop is the third in what we hope will be a yearly
forum for papers on all the different aspects of privacy in today's
electronic society. The first two workshops in the series were held in
Washington, in conjunction with the 9th ACM CCS conference and with
the 10th ACM CCS conference, respectively. The success of the first
two editions of the workshop and the increased interest of the
community in privacy issues, is the main reason for repeating the
event.
The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting
novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of electronic
privacy, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We
encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business
that present these communities' perspectives on technological
issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- anonymity, pseudonymity, unlinkability
- business model with privacy requirements
- data protection from correlation and leakage attacks
- electronic communication privacy
- information dissemination control
- privacy-aware access control
- privacy in the digital business
- privacy enhancing technologies
- privacy policies and human rights
- privacy and anonymity in Web transactions
- privacy threats
- privacy and confidentiality management
- privacy in the electronic records
- privacy in health care and public administration
- public records and personal privacy
- privacy and virtual identity
- personally identifiable information
- privacy policy enforcement
- privacy and data mining
- relationships between privacy and security
- user profiling
- wireless privacy
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages
excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point
font and reasonable margins on letter-size paper), and at most 20
pages total. Committee members are not required to read the
appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without
them. Papers should have a cover page with the title, authors,
abstract and contact information.
Authors are invited to submit their contributions electronically
through the web site
http://seclab.dti.unimi.it/wpes2004/submissions.html. Submission must
be in the form of a ps (Postscript), or pdf (Adobe) file. Do NOT
submit files formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft
Word or WordPerfect files).
Papers must be received by the deadline of June 11, 2004 in order to
be considered. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to
authors by August 2, 2004. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee
that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Accepted papers
will be published by the ACM in a conference proceedings.

Dear potential VIP Speaker:
We are pleased to invite you, as a VIP Forum speaker, to the
CAITA-2004 conference, Purdue University, West Lafayette,
Indiana, USA (arrival: Thursday July 8, 2004. and departure
Sunday July 11, 2004.).
All relevant information and the detailed invitation letter
can be found on the web (http://www.internetconferences.net).
This is a broadband conference, aimed at bringing together
the scientific/technical elite. Keynote: Dr. Dag von Lubitz,
Laureate of the Smithsonian Award. Important deadlines:
Abstract - March 20 (the deadline is short, but 100 words is easy).
Full paper - April 10.
We invite participants (mostly from USA, Canada, Mexico, EU,
Israel, and Far East) from the following three groups: (1) Well
known University professors with a high citation index, (2) VIPs
from leading industry, and (3) Talented PhD students from leading
universities of the world. So far, at our conferences, in seven
cases, Nobel Laureates gave the opening keynote. All those who
visited our conferences in the past loved them and like to
come back - see the web for the lists of participants of our past
conferences. The stress of the conferences is on an active social
program to induce creativity thru synergistic interaction, in a
special setting. Also, each submitted paper goes to minimum 12
reviewers (mostly to those referenced in the submitted paper).
If you plan to submit an abstract/paper, please reply to this
e-mail at your earliest convenience, because the conference has
a size limitation.
Sincerely yours,
Prof. Dr. Mileta Tomovic, General Chairman of CAITA-2004
Prof. Dr. Veljko Milutinovic, Program Chair of CAITA-2004
P.S. IPSI Belgrade organizes scientific conferences all over the World,
aimed at bringing together the elite of the world research.
More details on the Web (www.internetconferences.net).
So far, 7 times Nobel Laureates were talking at the opening ceremonies.
Those who come once, without exception, like to return. They like the
atmosphere (we invest a lot into the social interaction) and
especially they like the fact that the review included lots of useful
comments (in addition to the professional internal review, we do three
types of external review: IPSI, peer, and Google - via Google we find
the major references of their research, and we ask them to help with an
excellent review). We accept about 50% of the submitted papers, unless
we do the conference in a small hotel, in which case the acceptance rate
is smaller. Typically we do our conferences in the best hotels of the
World (see the Web for "The Best Small Hotels of the World").
If you like that we inform you about our conferences (6 emails per year,
for 12 conferences), please let us know. We will be informing you ONLY
if you explicitly tell us that you like that to happen.
Please, reply to purdue(a)vreme.yubc.net if you have questions
or to confirm your desire to be a member of our VIP CLUB!
Dear all,
we received the sad message that Mr. K B Nair (MNCC Malaysia) passed away
yesterday night.
Many of us knew him quite well. He attended the TC6 meeting in Trivandrum
and he prepared a series of SEACOMM conferences where TC6 was significantly
involved. Meeting 94/2 was held in Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with
SEACOMM'94.
One of my "dreams" is that we will be able re-intensify the relations
between TC6 and MNCC Malaysia.
Best regards
Otto
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is with great sadness and regret that I have to inform you
of the demise of Mr. K. B. Nair yesterday night (14 March 2004),
after a long illness. He and a group of pioneers were responsible
for the formation of MCS, followed by MNCC. As you may know,
he also was a pioneer in regional and international ICT cooperation
and fellowship.
His remains are now at 31, Jalan 14/56, 46100 Petaling Jaya,
Selangor Darul Ehsan (Tel: 03-79563179) and will be cremated at
the Petaling Jaya Crematorium at Kampong Tunku at 4.00pm (15
March 2004) today.
Warmest regards,
Lim Chen Yam
MNCC
Augusto, Otto, Guy (and everybody else!)
I have had an exchange of e-mails with Roger Johnson (including forwarding
Guy's reference to the ACM's new series).
It looks as if it is taking much longer than predicted to sign a contract.
(What a surprise...!)
Some of what Roger told me is commercially confidential at the moment but I
will do my best to get a distributable update before the May TC6 meeting.
On the Kluwer / Springer / LNCS situation, I believe I can say that there
were two responses from the existing organisations because they were not
allowed (for legal reasons) to submit a "joint" bid. The legal restrictions
may disappear soon.
There are some important meetings to be held in the next few weeks and
nothing will become settled until these have been held.
I hope things will become clearer before the TC6 meeting

Subject: RE: [ifip-tc6] ACM new international proceedings series
Dear Otto,
Let me give my opinion on the publishing of TC6 conference proceedings. As
you know this was a point in which we have worked hard during the last
years. We reached a situation in 2003, in which a large number of our
conferences were publishing in the LNCS of Springer and a few ones were
publishing in Kluwer. This seemed to be an acceptable situation because, as
far as I know, the publication in the LNCS of Springer resolved most of our
concerns and our conference organisers were happy too.
We knew that we had to take a decision in 2004 having in view the choice of
a new publisher by IFIP. However, we have been told by the editor of the
LNCS that the continuation of TC6 publication in LNCS would be welcome
regardless of the new choice of IFIP.
I do not know at all what were the conditions offered in the different bids
of the publishers to IFIP. However, I think, and this was my knowledge after
the last GA in 2003, that the bid from LNCS would be a different one from
the new Kluwer/Springer. This needs to be confirmed, but if this is the
case, it means that we still have two possibilities for publication: new
Kluwer/Springer or LNCS.
Of course we need to analyse the new possibilities that are opened to us
with the new Kluwer/Springer and the ACM series of proceedings referred by
Guy. However, to change again of publisher in our conferences, I feel that
we must have clear advantages in the new offers.
In order to be able to take a decision in our next meeting it would be good
if we could have the exact conditions offered by the new IFIP publisher, to
know which were the conditions offered by the other proposals and to know if
publishing in LNCS is still an option. I hope also that Guy can report on
the ACM proceedings series.
Have a nice weekend
Best regards
Augusto

Hello peter,
yes, please communicate this to Roger Johnson. We might even invite him
to attend our
meeting (as in Tozeur).
But the minimum success would be that we get information about
publication in a very
early stage.

Call for Papers
DS-RT 2004
Eighth IEEE* International Symposium on
Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications,
October 21-23, 2004,
Budapest, Hungary.
http://www.cs.unibo.it/DS-RT2004/
In conjunction with 16th European Simulation Symposium (ESS 2004)
October 17-20, 2004, Budapest, Hungary.
*IEEE Approval Pending
Scope
In its eighth year, the 2004 International Symposium on Distributed
Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT 2004) will take place at
Park Hotel Flamenco, Budapest, Hungary, just after the European
Simulation Symposium (ESS 2004).
This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two conferences
covering a wide range of simulation research.
Symposium Objectives
DS-RT 2004 serves as a forum for simulationists from academia, industry
and research labs, for presenting recent research results in Distributed
Simulation and Real Time Applications. DS-RT 2004 targets the growing
overlap between large distributed simulations and real time applications,
such as collaborative virtual environments. The conference features
prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the
field. DS-RT 2004 will include contributed technical papers, invited
papers, and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by
IEEE-CS press.
Call for Papers
DS-RT is intended to provide an international forum for the discussion
and presentation of original ideas, recent results and achievements by
researchers, students, and systems developers on issues and challenges
related to distributed simulation and real time applications. Authors
are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of
significance. Demonstration of new tools/applications is very desirable.
The scope of the symposium includes, but is not limited to:
o- Collaborative Virtual Environments, e.g. interactive Virtual Reality,
human communication through immersive environments, shared object
manipulation;
o- Multi-sensory collaborative systems, e.g. collaborative future
workspaces, psychological issues of collaborative VR;
o- Interactive Simulation in Entertainment and Games;
o- Applications of Distributed Simulation, e.g., Real Time, large
distributed simulation systems;
o- Agent Based Distributed Simulation, e.g., multi-agent based simulation,
parallel and distibuted simulation of multi-agent systems;
o- Algorithms and Studies relating to existing protocols, e.g., HLA, DIS,
event synchronization, network time protocols;
o- Data Distribution Management, Interest Management, Multi-resolution
modeling and Dead-Reckoning Mechanisms;
o- Current Critical Design Issues, e.g.: causality, simultaneous events,
zero look-ahead, compensation for slower than real time;
o- Methodology for Distributed and Parallel Simulation;
o- Approaches to interoperation of COTS simulation modeling packages;
o- Interface Definition, Communication, Management, Security;
o- Performance of Distributed Simulation, e.g., benchmark, theoretical,
empirical, and HLA/RTI studies;
o- Visual Interactive Simulation, e.g., generic animation, visual
interactive modeling, interactive computer based learning;
o- Animating Language Tools, Visualization Tools for Computational
Processes
under Simulation;
o- Modeling and Simulation Environments for Real Time Concurrent Systems;
o- Influence of Network-Centric Systems, e.g., Java, and DCOM;
o- Network support for distributed simulation and real-time systems
e.g., QoS requirements, multicast for distributed/real-time simulation;
o- Applications of Web-Based Simulation, e.g. Modeling Global Internet;
o- Integration of Distributed Simulation and HLA with Web Technologies;
o- Large Scale Distributed Simulation on the Grid.
