The workshop, hosted at the University of British Columbia (UBC), will continue to focus on emerging research topics, controversial ideas, and future research directions in the area of multimedia systems research. As in previous years, we will maintain the focused single-track format a setting that stimulates lively discussions among the senior and junior participants. NOSSDAV encourages experimental research based on real systems and real data sets. Public availability of the source code and data sets discussed in papers presented at NOSSDAV is highly encouraged. For NOSSDAV 2011, we will accept papers on broad ranges of topics related to the transmission and presentation of digital audio/video objects. We are particularly interested in soliciting articles that discuss system-level support for distributed social media, as well as papers that focus on enabling multimedia applications in distributed cloud. Other topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): * OS, middleware and network support * Overlay networks * Media streaming, distribution and storage support * Web 2.0 systems and social networks * Media sensor and ad hoc networks / embedded systems * Multicore architecture support * Wireless and mobile multimedia systems / network processor support * Networked GPUs, graphics and virtual environments * Networked games / real-time immersive systems * Multimedia communications and system security * Grid/Cloud computing support Please contact the workshop co-chairs to check if your topic is within the scope of NOSSDAV. Papers will be judged on their relevance, technical content and correctness, and the clarity of presentation of the research. Papers should not be under review at another venue nor previously published elsewhere. Submissions should be at most SIX pages, using standard ACM proceedings style. We expect these submissions to be the kernel of what will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: 24 Feb 2011 Decision Notification: 24 Mar 2011 Camera Ready Due: 7 Apr 2011 For more information, please visit the workshop website at http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/nossdav2011/ From nicolasc at gmail.com Wed Jan 12 08:53:47 2011 From: nicolasc at gmail.com (Nicolas Christin) Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 11:53:47 -0500 Subject: [sigcomm] ACM SIGCOMM 2011: Call for Posters Message-ID: SIGCOMM 2011 - Call for Posters The SIGCOMM poster session showcases works-in-progress. The setting is informal. Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference call for papers. Although anyone can submit a poster, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. The SIGCOMM 2011 Poster and Demo committee will review all demo proposals. At the conference, a student must present student posters. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2011 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. Student Research Competition The SIGCOMM poster session will also serve as an ACM student research competition. Qualified entrants must have current ACM student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student status at the time of submission (May 2011, below), and be submitted by a single student author. Supervisors are not permitted to coauthor the poster. (Please contact the poster chairs if this restriction represents a hardship.) Undergraduates and graduate students will be treated in separate divisions. (Students starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the conference will be considered as undergraduates.) A small travel supplement is made available to accepted entrants: please also submit applications for travel grant support. The ACM SRC program is sponsored by Microsoft Research. Winners will advance to ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition to compete against the winners of other ACM conferences. Why Should You Submit a Poster? This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition, top few submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newletter, the ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Travel Grants for Student Posters Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants. What is a Poster? We define a poster to be A0 paper size in portrait mode (841x1189mm), to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively, you can use the space as a continuum. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. Note that you do not submit such a large-format image; only an abstract describing in text what the poster would present. What and Where to Submit Please submit a two-page abstract on the work to https://sigcomm2011posters.cs.wisc.edu. The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. Submissions are single blind, so please include authors' names and affiliation. Content: The abstract should clearly state: ? the problem being addressed; ? what makes this problem interesting, important, and difficult; ? your approach to the problem; ? the key contribution In the final version of the abstract, you should include a URL that provides additional information about your work to the attendees. Formatting: Prepare your abstract using ACM conference style, modified to 10pt. Concretely, two columns, minimum 10pt times with 0.75 inch margins and 1/3 inch space between columns. The abstract must be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees.

In such approaches, the principal paradigm is not host-to-host communication as in the current Internet architecture. Instead, an increasing demand for highly scalable and efficient distribution of content has motivated the development of architectures that focus on information objects, their properties, and receiver interest in the network to achieve efficient and reliable distribution of such objects. Corresponding network architectures can leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through replication and interaction models such as publish-subscribe to provide general platforms for communication services that are today only available in dedicated systems such as peer-to-peer overlays and proprietary content-distribution networks. Important research topics for ICN include: naming and addressing (how to name information objects, how to represent location information), routing and resolution (deciding on how to forward "interest" in information and actual information objects, whether and how to resolve information object names to lower layer identifiers during that process), resource management (implications of in-network caching and paradigms such as receiver-orientation to resource sharing, congestion control etc.) and security (privacy, data protection and key distribution have to be adapted to the new communication models). This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric Networking architecture topics as well as on results from implementations and experimentation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Naming and addressing in ICN * Routing and name resolution in ICN * Resource management (caching strategies, congestion control) * Security, privacy and trust in ICN * Testbeds and simulation frameworks * Business and deployment aspects * New application opportunities with ICN * Design and definition of the basic ICN primitives * Accountability in ICN (e.g. referrals, click-throughs, etc) * Billing, costing and invoicing for ICN traffic * Metadata and network extensions for ICN * Real-time traffic over ICN (voice, video, etc) * PDUs, fragmentation and ???packet size??? implications on design * Overlays and underlays with ICN * ICNs in mobile networks * Concurrency, locking and synchronization for ICN data * Versioning, deletion, revocation and general ICN object management * Monitoring, troubleshooting and management tools for ICNs Submission instructions ------------------------ Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be a pdf file. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. Submissions must follow the formatting guidelines at http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2011/. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal.
