CfP: HICSS-37 Minitrack on Mobile Distributed Information Systems [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS HICSS-37 Minitrack on MOBILE DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS Part of the Software Technology Track at the Thirty-seventh Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES on the Big Island of Hawaii January 5 - 8, 2004 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts due: March 31, 2003 Full Papers due: June 1, 2003 Website: http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss ===================================================================== In today's mobile society, access to relevant information and to context- specific services "anytime, anywhere" is becoming increasingly important. Mobile users are often particularly interested in information about and services in their immediate vicinity, thus Mobile Distributed Information Systems must address location-dependent distribution of and access to services and information from mobile devices. In addition to location, other environmental aspects, such as the user's current situation, topology and available bandwidth of wireless networks, battery power and characteristics of mobile devices, are also relevant for determining information and service requirements. For mobile applications, a dynamic re-configurable architecture is thus required to support flexible reaction to changing contexts and seamless operation in foreign environments, with little or no need for manual reconfiguration. With mobile devices becoming more and more popular and powerful, communication and cooperation between mobile users in an ad-hoc manner are strongly desired. Consequently, the long-established distinction between clients and servers is blurred, which calls for an extension of the architectural paradigm towards peers or alternating roles. This Minitrack will address current topics in the field of Mobile Distributed Information Systems, such as: - Location and Situation Aware Information Services: Modeling, Architectures and Applications - Network Support for Mobile Access to Services and Information - Mobile Ad-hoc Networking and Computing - Provision, Distribution and Management of Services for Mobile Environments - Directory Services, Service Discovery and Service Brokers - Middleware for Mobile Distributed Information Systems - Distributed Databases and Data Management for Mobile Applications - Peer-to-Peer Computing and Cooperation: Scenarios, Platforms and Applications - Self-/Zero-/Auto-Configuration, Dynamic Configuration for Mobile Users - Mobile Multimedia Systems, QoS for Mobile Information Access - Management of Groups of Mobile Users - Mobile Devices: GUIs, Usability and Adaptability - Location Tracking Technologies - Security, Privacy and Billing Issues for Mobile Information and Service Access - Applications and Case Studies of Mobile Distributed Information Systems MINITRACK CHAIRS Andreas Meissner Zhou Wang Lars Wolf Fraunhofer IPSI Fraunhofer IPSI TU Braunschweig Dolivostrasse 15 Dolivostrasse 15 Mühlenpfordtstraße 23 64293 Darmstadt 64293 Darmstadt 38106 Braunschweig Germany Germany Germany {Andreas.Meissner, Zhou.Wang}(a)ipsi.fhg.de wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de The Minitrack Website is http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss Please email general inquiries to hicss(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de MINITRACK PROGRAM COMMITTEE Heribert Baldus, Philips Research, Germany Andrew T.

-----Original Message----- From: ifip_nm-admin(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca [mailto:ifip_nm-admin@bbcr.uwaterloo.ca]On Behalf Of IFIP_ADMIN Sent: sexta-feira, 28 de Fevereiro de 2003 18:44 To: ifip_nm(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca Subject: [Ifip_nm] MMNS 2003 Call for papers MMNS 2003 6th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services 7th - 10th September 2003, Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland http://www.ee.qub.ac.uk/mmns2003 Call For Papers The multimedia services over IP networks are proliferating at an enormous speed. There is also increasing demand for solutions which provide assured levels of service quality. All of these require novel paradigms, models and architectures for realising integrated end-to-end service management rather than managing network elements in isolation. Providing scalable Quality of Service (QoS) while maintaining fairness, along with secure and optimal network resource management are key challenges for the future Internet. These challenges apply to both fixed and wireless networks. The IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services will hold its sixth annual meeting from September 7th to September 10th, 2003 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. MMNS provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate. In just 6 years, MMNS has established itself as one of the premier conferences with a focus on the management of multimedia networks and services. The conference objective is to bring together researchers working in all facets of network and service management as applied to broadband networks and multimedia services. MMNS deals with all aspects of designing, developing and deploying networked multimedia systems and it serves as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research and development results. MMNS 2003 will also include panel sessions in which experts offer their observations and opinions about current hot topics. The keynote speaker will be Professor Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology who will present a vision of future interplanetary network architecures. Professor Derek McAuley, head of Intel's recently formed laboratory at Cambridge, UK, will describe some of the new research being undertaken on global overlay networks and applications. The program committee is soliciting original papers describing research in the area of management of multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Active multimedia network management * Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks * Augmented and Virtual Reality Networks * Billing and Accounting * Cable multimedia network management * Content distribution internetworking * Deployment of multimedia services * Distributed multimedia service management * End-to-end IP multimedia network and service management * IP Video, streaming, interactive video service management * Middleware support for management * Multimedia network traffic engineering and optimization * Multimedia traffic management * Multimedia content protection * Multimedia session management * Multi-point, multicast services management * Network management models and architectures * Network programmability for multimedia services * Optical multimedia network management * Policy-based management for multi-media services * Provisioning of multimedia networks and services * QoS in WLANs * QoS management * Resource, performance and fault management * Security and Authentication * VoIP service management * Web Services * Wireless and mobile multimedia network management Papers must be submitted electronically in postscript or PDF format.

FW: [IFIP] Good Vibs (contd). & Friday's special
by Augusto Casaca 21 Feb '03

21 Feb '03

-----Original Message----- From: owner-ifip_ga(a)ifip.or.at [mailto:owner-ifip_ga@ifip.or.at]On Behalf Of Plamen Nedkov Sent: sexta-feira, 21 de Fevereiro de 2003 13:47 To: All Subject: [IFIP] Good Vibs (contd). & Friday's special Dear All, There are good vibrations coming from our member societies: We are closely working with all recently admitted IFIP members to assist their integration. All 4 admitted full member societies at GA 2001 (Chile, Lithuania, Oman and Zimbabwe) have settled their initial membership obligations and are geared up to IFIP activities. This is also true for CITS-Croatia (admitted at GA 2002) which will host an IT-STAR meeting in early June. The Cyprus Computer Society was also admitted at GA 2002 and is busily selecting its TC representatives. CLEI, our regional Latin American corresponding member, continues to look into the feasibility of becoming a Full member. Argentina has undergone a major review of its TC representation and will soon try to overcome its back dues. Over this week we maintained everyday contact with Cecilia Berdichevsky, SADIO's GA representative, and with members of SADIO's Governing Board on the occasion of Armando's passing. Our grief has further united us in considering activities within the IFIP format. In January and February many outstanding membership issues were sorted out: Greece made a great effort and is "up to date" NOW! So did Syria! Some weeks ago a Board member of the Syrian Computer Society (and Deputy Minister for Communications) called to discuss activities and outstanding dues. All matters were immediately taken care of. We currently maintain contact with Malaysia about their status in IFIP. Some days ago, the South Korea rep. wrote to say that KISS has settled its obligations. When the KISS transfer arrives, IFIP will have 42 national member societies with voting rights!!! At present we have 48 full members on our books. By GA 2003 in Lithuania the "42 votes" could easily become "45". Additionally, there are 3 corresponding members and 10 Affiliates. Finally, we understand that Bruce Shriver is the recipient of the IEEE CS 2002 Richard E. Merwin Award for Distinguished Service to the computer science profession at large, which he accepts this February. Bruce is a past CS president and the first IEEE CS representative to IFIP [1999-2000]. Congratulations! And lastly ;-), if you need specialized reading for the weekend try some TC 5 stuff ( the WG 5.5 COVE -- Cooperation Infrastructure for Virtual Enterprises and Electronic Business -- Newsletter) at http://www.uninova.pt/~cove/newsindex.htm Have a great weekend, The Delivery Co. Fun zone - joke lovers only! ... and to cheer you up for the weekend here is a cutie :-)) "It's just too hot to wear clothes today", complained Jack as he stepped out of the shower. "Honey, what do you think the neighbors would think if I mowed the lawn like this?" "Probably that I married you for your money." -------------------------------- Plamen Nedkov Executive Director, IFIP Hofstrasse 3, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria Tel: +43 2236 73616 Fax: +43 2236 736169 http://www.ifip.org/
