SCOPE
--------------------------------------
The successful development of multimedia services and applications in mobile environments requires
adopting an interdisciplinary approach where both multimedia and networking issues are addressed jointly.
Multimedia data characteristics, coding standards functionalities, as well as network protocols
performance and channel behavior are some of the key aspects that need to be carefully examined when
proposing new solutions. Many are the applications that are going to be enabled by the new standards
for mobile networking, such as packet telephony, video mail, video streaming, audio conferencing,
interactive gaming, conversational navigation services, digital television, infomobility, and
immersive communications in virtual environments. Some of these novel networking protocols and
technologies include IEEE 802.11 (infrastructured, mesh, and sensor networks), 802.15, 802.16, UWB,
DVB-H, Bluetooth, Mobile IP and its variants.
Within this scope, MobiMedia is intended to provide a unique international forum for researchers
working in multimedia and mobile networking fields to study new applications, solutions, and standards.
Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the
integrated design of efficient technologies and the relevant provision of advanced mobile multimedia applications.

ALGOSENSORS 06:
International Workshop on
Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks
July 15 2006, Venice, Italy
To be held in conjunction with ICALP 2006
http://ru1.cti.gr/algosensors06/
SCOPE
Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active
research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse services
to numerous important applications, including remote monitoring and
tracking in environmental applications and low maintenance ambient
intelligence in everyday life. The effective and efficient realization of
such large scale, complex ad-hoc networking environments requires
intensive, coordinated technical research and development efforts,
especially in power aware, scalable, robust wireless distributed
protocols, due to the unusual application requirements and the severe
resource constraints of the sensor devices.
On the other hand, a solid foundational background seems necessary for
sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is a challenge for
abstract modelling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably
efficient, scalable and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge,
highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including the
extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the severe power,
computating and memory limitations, their dense, random deployment and
frequent failures, pose new interesting abstract modeling, algorithmic
design, analysis and implementation challenges.
This Workshop aims to bring together research contributions related to
diverse algorithmic aspects of wireless sensor networks.
TOPICS
Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including (but not
limited to):
* Models of sensor networks
* Methods for ad hoc deployment/topology control
* Energy management
* Data propagation and routing
* Localization
* Tracking
* Data aggregation/data compression
* Obstacle avoidance
* Power saving schemes
* Communication protocols
* Medium access control
* Security and trust
* Distributed computing issues

Dear TC6 members,
Complementing yesterday´s message I send you more detailed and better
structured travel guidelines to Coimbra. These guidelines were kindly
provided by our colleagues from Coimbra. In attach you can find two files,
one with the detailed travel directions and the other one with the train
timetable.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca
Dear colleagues,
Complementing my last message which was concerned with the hotel booking for our TC6 meeting in Coimbra let me give you also some preliminary travel directions to Coimbra.
You can fly either to Lisboa or Porto airport. Porto is 100 km away from Coimbra and Lisboa 200 kms. You need to take a train to go either from Porto or Lisboa to Coimbra.
The best connection between both airports and the respective train stations is by taxi. In Porto I was informed that the taxi should cost about 20 €.. In Lisboa the maximum fare should be in the same order of magnitude or, even less. Probably in May you might have available a brand new metro connecting the Porto airport to the train station, but not in Lisboa.
There are several train stations in Lisboa and Porto. You should go to the Campanhã train station in Porto and to the Oriente train station in Lisboa. These are the most suitable ones to go to Coimbra, although other alternatives are possible. In Coimbra the train arrives in Coimbra-B. From there you can either take a local train (included in the ticket price) to Coimbra city center or follow directly to your hotel.
I give you a link to the Portuguese train company so that you can check the best connections available. I am afraid that the timetable of May is not yet fixed, but you might have a close idea of the possibilities by looking at the available timetables there:
<http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgnextoid=87cbd5abe2a74010VgnVCM1000007b…> http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgnextoid=87cbd5abe2a74010VgnVCM1000007b…
Later on I might send you more detailed travel directions if required.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca

algorithmic techniques, formal methodologies, model theoretic
issues, and composition techniques.
All these areas are essential to the understanding and maintenance of
self-* properties in fault-tolerant distributed systems.
Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its
evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as
peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad
hoc networks, robotic networks, etc. Moreover, new applications such
as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and
robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process
control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of
distributed systems.
Now, more than ever, the theory of self-stabilization has tremendous
impact in these areas. Therefore, this year, we are extending the
scope of the symposium to cover all safety and security related
aspects of self-* systems. The title of the conference has been
changed to reflect this expansion. There will be three tracks:
networking, safety and security, and self-* properties in static and
dynamic systems.
The symposium solicits contributions on all aspects of
self-stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems and
programing, from theoretical contributions, to reports of the actual
experience of applying the principles of self-stabilization to static
and dynamic systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Stabilization:
- self-stabilizing systems
- self-managed, self-assembling, autonomic and adaptive systems
- self-optimizing and self-protecting systems
- self-* abstractions for implementing fundamental services in static
and dynamic distributed systems
- impossibility results and lower bounds for self-* systems
- application of stabilizing algorithms and techniques in dynamic
distributed systems
- data and code stabilization
- algorithms for self-* error detection/correction
Safety:
- safety critical systems
- trust models and specifications
- semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk and
reputation
- trust-related security and privacy
- reliable and dependable systems
- fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable
systems, failure recovery
Security:
- security of network protocols
- security of sensor and mobile networks protocols
- secure architectures, frameworks, policy, intrusion
detection/awareness
- proactive security
- self-* properties and their relation with classical fault-tolerance
and security
- security protocols for self-* systems
Networks and Applications:
- models of fault-tolerant communication
- stochastic, physical, and biological models to analyze self-*
properties
- communication complexity
- data structures for efficient communication
- self-stabilizing hardware, software, and middleware
- algorithms for high-speed networks, sensors, wireless and robots
networks
- mobile agents
- peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, MANETs, and wireless mesh
networks
- network topologies, overlays, and protocols
- protocols for secure and reliable data transport and search in
wireless mesh networks
- information storage and sharing in wireless mesh networks
Contributors are invited to submit a PDF file of their paper.
Submissions should be no longer than 4800 words and should not exceed
12 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11 point font and
reasonable margins (the page limit includes all figures, tables, and
graphs). Submissions should include a cover page (that does not count
towards the 12 page limit) that includes paper title, authors and
affiliations, contact author's e-mail address, an abstract of the work
in a few lines, and a few keywords.
Submitted papers may have appendices beyond the 12 page limit, but
reviewers are free to disregard any material beyond the 12 page limit.
A paper submitted to SSS 2006 is expected to be original research
not previously published; a submission may not be concurrently
submitted or to any other conference, workshop, or journal.
The proceedings of the conference are expected to be published in the
Springer Verlag LNCS series. Selected papers will appear in a special
issue of a high quality journal devoted to SSS 2006.
