6th International Workshop on Next Generation Networking Middleware,
NGNM 2009
October 26-30, 2009, part of the 5th ManWeek in Venice, Italy
http://www.manweek.org/2009/ngnm/
==========================================================================

IMPORTANT DATES
----------------------------
Paper Registration: May 1, 2009
Paper Submission: May 8, 2009
Author Notification: June 30, 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------------------
Following the successful, although unanticipated, merge at MANWEEK 2008,
NGNM and EVGM
will be officially merged as NGNM 2009 at MANWEEK 2009. The new and
improved workshop will
comprehensively cover topics related to the middleware needed in
next-generation networks,
including the middleware necessary to enable virtualization, a key
functionally in Grid/Cloud/Utility
computing.

The organizers of NGNM 2009 envisage a balance between academic and
industrial participation
and seek original, unpublished papers on different aspects of middleware
technologies for enabling
Next-Generation Network (NGN) services and applications. Topics of
submission include, but are not
limited to:

-- Middleware architectures, Resource Allocation and Heterogeneous
Network Access for converged networks
-- NGN middleware for content distribution infrastructures,
context-aware applications, collaborative/P2P
applications, and for enterprise applications
-- NGN middleware adaptation to underlying technologies (e.g., cellular,
metropolitan area, and short-range systems)
-- Middleware support for NGN inter-networking and interoperability with
non-NGN systems
-- Publish/subscribe middleware and middleware for peer-assisted
carrier-grade content delivery
-- Scalable, adaptive, and self-managing aspects of middleware
-- Converged networks policy-based management, monitoring, and control
-- QoS provisioning, service differentiation, accounting, and billing
-- Identity management and anonymity support infrastructures
-- Trust, security and privacy issues
-- Presence and contextual data management
-- Middleware for distributed experimental testbeds with real or virtual
components
-- Web Service/Grid-enabled middleware for converged networks
-- Service modeling, composition, deployment, and orchestration
-- Programming paradigms, Web 2.0, and mashups
-- Virtualization in Autonomic, Grid, Cloud, and Utility Computing
-- Architectures and Frameworks, Provisioning Protocols, Management
Policies,
Performance Analysis and QoS, Reliability Analysis, and Applications
in Virtualized Environments
-- Migration Strategies Towards Resource Federation and Virtualization

SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS
