Caixa Economica Federal ------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ITA Brazil's most selective Engineering school, ITA accepts yearly only about 150 students out of more than 8000 applicants. ITA is one of the few schools in Brazil that recruits students nationally and offers a residential campus where most students and faculty live. All students receive full scholarship from the Brazilian government. ITA's rigorous undergraduate programs are 5 years long and lead directly to professional degrees in Aeronautical, Electronics, Computer, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering. Average scores of ITA Electronics and Computer Engineering students in national comprehensive examinations for graduating engineers have consistently been the highest in Brazil. ITA was founded in 1950 as the initial institute in Brazil's Aerospace Technical Center (CTA), Latin America's largest research center. CTA's planner and ITA's first provost was Richard H. Smith, who previously headed the Aeronautics department at MIT. ITA was the first institution to offer Aeronautical and Electronics Engineering degrees and post-graduate degrees in Brazil. Embraer, now the world's leading regional-jet manufacturer, was spun off from ITA in 1969. ITA/CTA research in the 1970s is also behind Brazil's highly successful renewable-energy program. A majority of cars now sold in Brazil can use ethanol as fuel. ITA pioneered Computer Science in Brazil with the construction of the first computer in 1961 and Tercio Pacitti's best-selling books on numerical methods in the 1960s and 1970s (he would become ITA's provost in 1982). Computer Engineering was organized as an independent ITA department in 1989. ------------------------------------------------------------- FURTHER INFORMATION Conference announcements and updated information will be available at: http://www.ssi.org.br For other information, please send email to the general chair, Jose M.

IEEE NIME 2007 Deadline Extended Aug 25 06
by Giovanni Pau 12 Aug '06

12 Aug '06

Apologies for multiple postings =============================== CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'07) CCNC 2007 - Satellite Workshop January 11 2007, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society Important Dates August 25, 2006 Paper submission September 25, 2006 Author Notification October 10, 2006 Camera-ready Copy October 8, 2006 Author Registration Deadline January 11, 2007 Workshop date 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 third 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, …) 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 Evaluation Guidelines for Submission Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. - Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. - Please see author information page for submission guidelines at CCNC’07 website (http://www.ieee-ccnc.org).

Autonomic Networking 06 is the join conference of IWAN, WAC, IntelComm and SmartNet. Let me know if you are interested in such a chairpersonship. As one of the flagship conference of TC6, you are invited to register in this conference through the web site. During the meeting in Paris just after the conference we will have to discuss of the next Autonomic Networking conference (I get some informal demands to organize the conference in 2007) or to come back to individual conference or continue AN and WAC and IWAN in parallel or any other possibility. Autonomic Networking 2006, Paris 27 to 29 September 2006 www.autonomic-net.org Finally, I had no answer at all on the following message (below is the interesting part of the message). The ACF meeting will take place during the confernce in Paris, just 2 days before the TC6 meeting. I think this is an important issue to discuss in Santiago for the preliminary meeting of the TC6. So, if you have some comments please let us know. Best regards, Guy ----- Original Message ----- From: Guy Pujolle To: Otto Spaniol ; ifip-tc6(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 1:52 AM Subject: News + ACF ACF (Autonomic Networking Forum) is a forum created two years ago. There are 600 members. Radu Popescu Zeletin is at the head of this consortium. One of the potential proposal that could be an output of the ACF meeting in Paris during the Autonomic Networking Conference could be to propose to become a Working Group of the IFIP. This WG focus could be on the normalization of AC interfaces and environment (this is an output of discussions held some time ago in a conference in Mykonos). So the TC6 could propose officially this solution and let the ACF continues its very strong work within the TC6 with a large freedom. This could be a strong action of the TC6.
