Research has led to massive development and deployment in the access networking space leading to significant efforts in merging the bandwidth bottleneck between ever growing PC speeds and the high speed network core. In addition to broadband services, the access area also represents consumers that desire pervasive as well as ubiquitous services. Therefore, the access network is a hot investment pool from both a financial as well as a research perspective. Accessnets is a forum that brings together scientists/researchers from academia and managers/engineers from the industry and government organizations to meet and exchange ideas and recent work in this emerging area of networking. Accessnets will be held in the beautiful and historic city of Athens Greece in the Summer of 2006, between September 4 and 6. Accessnets will have two technology tracks and a business track. Papers are solicited but not restricted to the following areas: ? Passive Optical Networks ? xDSL technology ? Long Reach Ethernet over Copper ? Standards for High speed short haul Ethernet ? Fiber to the Home, Premise, Curb, Desktop, user ? Coarse WDM ? Powerline Communications ? Coaxial Cable technologies ? Hybrid Fiber Coaxial technologies ? WiFi Networks ? WIMAX networks ?

CoNext aims to be open and accommodating to multiple viewpoints. It is committed to fairness in the review process and to returning deep and sound technical feedback to authors of submitted paper. CoNext looks for high quality technical papers in all areas of communication (see CFP for details). Our intend is to build a strong technical program and to offer opportunities for technical and social interaction among a close-knit community of participants. CoNext proceedings will be published by ACM and best paper will be short-tracked to ToN. -- http://parislab.thomson.net From bilgin at ece.arizona.edu Mon Apr 24 16:58:07 2006 From: bilgin at ece.arizona.edu (Ali Bilgin) Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 16:58:07 -0700 (MST) Subject: [sigcomm] [CFP:MobiMedia] ONE WEEK REMINDER Message-ID: ******* M o b i M e d i a 2006 **************** Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference (formerly MSAN) September 18-20, 2006 :: Alghero, Sardinia, Italy http://www.mobimedia.org ------------------------------------------------- ******** IMPORTANT DEADLINES ******************** ------------------------------------------------- Submission of extended summaries: April 30, 2006 Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2006 Submission of camera-ready papers: July 10, 2006 ******** IMPORTANT NEWS ************************** -------------------------------------------------- keynote speeches: - Roberto Cencioni (Head of Unit INFSO E2, EC) and Albert Gauthier (DG Information Society, EC) on the 7th Work program and the EU IST vision - Leonardo Chiariglione on future standards on mobile multimedia Publication of accepted papers: - Conference proceedings will be available through IEEExplore (approval pending) - Extended versions of high quality papers on mobile video will be reviewed and considered for a special issue in the Signal Processing: Image Communications Journal. Workshops/symposiums/special sessions: - International Workshop on Broadband Wireless Access for ubiquitous Networking (BWAN 2006) - European Symposium on Mobile Media Delivery (EuMob 2006) - Special Session on 4G FORTHCOMING STANDARS AND MOBILE MULTIMEDIA SERVICES 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. TECHNICAL PROGRAMS -------------------------------------- The technical program features two key-note speeches: from Roberto Cencioni (Head of Unit INFSO E2, EC) and Albert Gauthier (DG Information Society, EC) on the 7th Work program and the EU IST vision and from Leonardo Chiariglione on future standards on mobile multimedia. The conference will also include invited panels, to facilitate for exchanging ideas and discussion, and specific sessions and workshops on focused interest areas. Submissions of proposals on workshops and special sessions on emerging topics are invited. Please submit proposals to Technical Program Chairs and Workshop Chairs. PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit extended summaries of not more than five pages including figures and references. Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission through the conference web site. Conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE and will be available through IEEExplore (approval pending). Extended versions of high quality papers on mobile video will be reviewed and considered for a special issue in the Signal Processing: Image Communications Journal. STUDENT AWARD AND GRANTS -------------------------------------- A student prize of 1000Euros will be awarded to the best paper authored by a full time student as first author. Travel grants will be provided to students attending the conference. Additional information can be found at the conference website.
