CfP is below:
This year, MMNS 2004 is introducing the concept of an
"application session". These sessions focus on the management of
multimedia networks and services from an industry and end-user perspective.
Particular emphasis will be placed on the experiences of enterprises, Service
Providers, vendors, and customers in the following two areas:
- The
move towards implementing network autonomics
- New
architectures and mechanisms to support mission critical or next
generation wireless/multimedia
systems and services
The first session includes any and all work on making all
components of the managed environment (e.g., network devices, applications,
servers, middleware, and others) behave in an autonomic fashion. The second
session includes any and all work on management and control architectures, and
the mechanisms that they use, to support next generation wireless/multimedia
systems and services.
The application sessions therefore complement the main conference track, which
is focused on theory and research results. Its aim is to help encourage
discussions between academia and industry, and to emphasize the practical
application and problems encountered when building and managing multimedia
systems and services.
Please note that "vendor advertisements" will not be allowed.
- How it will be organized
The Application Session
will consist of two groups of sessions. The first, focusing on Network
Autonomics, will be chaired by John
Strassner. The second, focusing
on architectures, will be chaired by Raymond
Liao. Both sessions will
have their own application committee, which will be responsible for
reviewing and selecting papers submitted to each application session. The
Application Session will also use EDAS for paper submissions.
- Organizational Details of the Application Session
The paper format should be written in English. The presentation must be
original that is not currently under review, and has not been previously
published in another conference or journal. Submissions will be in the
form of presentations, with the top half consisting of graphics, and the
bottom half made up of explanatory text. Submissions should be no longer
than 14 pages, including title and references. A sample PowerPoint file
will be available from the MMNS website for use as a reference. Submissions
using PowerPoint or PDF will be accepted. To submit your paper, go to
Paper
Submission. There is no specific limitation to
topics for these workshops, as long as they relate to the two themes
listed above. For further infomation,
please contact the Session Chairs, John
Strassner and Raymond Liao.
