CALL FOR PAPERS
The 12th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on
Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS) will
be held in October 26 - 30, 2009 at the
fascinating Telecom Italia Future Centre, in the worldwide known and
magnificent Venice, Italy, as part of the 5th
International Week on the Management of Networks and Services (Manweek 2009).
The MMNS 2009 conference will provide
participants with a high quality and intimate
setting for discussion and debate.
The conference is sponsored by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on
Management of Networks and Distributed Systems,
with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society
and specifically the Technical Committee on
Network Operations and Management (CNOM).
SCOPE OF MMNS 2009
Since 1997, MMNS has established itself as a
major conference for research and innovation in the management of multimedia
technology and networked services. The scope of
the conference has been expanded in recent years to include management of
emerging mobile and wireless networks and their
integration with more traditional network infrastructures. The objective
of the conference is to bring together
researchers and scientists from academia and
industry interested in state-of-the-art
management of converged multimedia networks and
services across heterogeneous networking
infrastructures, while creating a public
venue for result dissemination and intellectual collaboration.
The convergence of existing and emerging
technologies such as broadband, mobile, and
broadcast networks is considered as a
promising opportunity for existing providers to
increase their service subscriber base, so that
the 4G vision and beyond becomes
a reality. An important research effort is
undertaken by main actors to face the multidimensional, in terms of transport
technology, session signaling, and QoS
provisioning, heterogeneity of Next Generation
Networks (NGNs). The efficient management of
wireless and wired technologies side-by-side and
of the number of multimedia services provisioned
over these integrated networks is
a key ingredient in the effort to provide cost
effective, innovative, and mass-market solutions that are likely to become a
major source of income for different
stakeholders. The need to evolve management
tools, solutions, platforms and methodologies to
keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical
juncture with the proliferation of mobile and wireless systems, intelligent and
broadband networks, quadruple play convergence,
and the integration of embedded systems in different domains, from smart
homes/cities to next generation automotive
systems. The academic and industry research communities should unify forces
to address the challenges of developing and
operating converged multimedia networks and
services. Inevitably, integrated management
is a key element in addressing this challenge.
The MMNS 2009 technical program committee is
soliciting research papers in the broad area of
network and service management that
address new models, architectures, and
technological designs to enable multimedia and
mobility proliferation in NGNs. MMNS 2009
intends to continue the success of the
outstanding agendas of the past, and will
emphasize and solicit novel research in the
management of wired-wireless multimedia networks and services.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Management of multimedia streaming and real-time service delivery
Management of wireless ad-hoc/mesh networks
Management of NGN/4G networks and services
Management of Service Oriented Architectures
Management of sensor networks for enhanced multimedia provisioning
Middleware for the management of mobile multimedia services
Middleware support for seamless mobility of multimedia services
Multi-service/multiple-play over IP (voice,
video, data and mobility over IP) network management
Grid networking for multimedia
Cross-layer multimedia management
Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks
Quality of service management in multimedia and mobile networks
Planning and optimization of multimedia and mobile networks

Distributed multimedia service management
Performance evaluation of multimedia and mobile services
Wireless/mobile multimedia broadcast/multicast technologies
Novel protocols for multimedia services
Multi-point and multicast service management
Pricing, accounting, and billing for multimedia services
Management of trust and security for mobile and
multimedia networks and services
Self-* properties of multimedia and mobile networks and services
Network virtualization for network management and service provisioning
Remote over-the-air manageability in mobile networks
End-to-end management for multimedia transmission in mobile/wireless networks
Mobile platform architecture optimizations for management services
Network manageability across heterogeneous wireless networks
Novel network architectures for mobile network management services
PAPER SUBMISSION
Paper submissions must present original and
unpublished research work or experiences.
Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress
reports from ongoing research are also encouraged
for submission to MMNS 2009. Papers under review
elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted
to MMNS 2009. Authors are requested to submit
either long papers or short papers (work-in-progress reports), strictly in LNCS
format (see below):
Long papers (up to 12 single-spaced single-column pages)
Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 6
single-spaced single-column pages)
Submissions exceeding the above mentioned paper
size will not be reviewed and will be returned to the authors. Please visit the
conference website for detailed submission instructions:

PROCEEDINGS
The MMNS 2009 proceedings will be published in
the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series (pending approval). For
more information regarding manuscript format
please visit the authors' instruction links at LNCS Springer. Awards will be
presented to the best paper and to the best
student paper at the conference. Furthermore, the
best papers of MMNS 2009 will be
