Special Session on Collaboration and Communication in Virtual Worlds
Virtual worlds combine 3D web technologies with social networking
techniques to offer new models of user interactions, collaborative
learning, information sharing, and present new business opportunities.
Collaboration and communication in virtual worlds are key to the success
of these models. Using advances from various studies on virtual reality
environments, existing virtual worlds provide a rich environment for
users to provide new and innovative end user services.
These end user services depend on multiple users collaborating in
shared spaces, interaction with other users and with other worlds, real
time nature of user interactions in virtual environments, collaboration
and communication tools in virtual environments, scalability, and
security. The goal of this special session on Collaboration and
Communication in Virtual Worlds is to provide a forum for researchers,
architects, and practitioners for discussing these and other related
issues to collaboration and communication in virtual worlds and virtual
environments.
We solicit papers covering various topics that include (but not limited
to) the following:
* Sharing Spaces in VR environments
* User Interactions in VR
* Real-time or immediacy of interactions
* Chat, voice, or video communication in virtual worlds
* Collaboration tools and techniques in VR applications
* Social networking in VR environments
* Collaborative learning in Virtual Worlds
* Consumer-business interactions
* Enterprise collaboration in VWs
* Scalability, security, and persistence of VR
Submission Instructions
Authors are invited to submit regular technical papers or position
papers. The position papers should present novel technologies at an
early stage of development or share future vision. All submissions
should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently
under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts should not

11th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management
11th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management
1 - 5 June, 2009, New York, New York, USA
"Making Management Scalable, Robust, Cost-Effective and Revenue-Generating"
http://www.ieee-im.org/
The Eleventh IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) will be held on 1 - 5 June 2009 at Columbia University in New York, New York, USA. The IM series of conferences has been held in odd-numbered years since 1989 (taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS), and has established itself as the main venue for original research in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. IM 2009 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field.
The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM).
Despite the ongoing research in the last two decades, and the great improvements in management tools and systems, integrated management of networked systems is still facing many challenges. With a continued increase in connectivity and the deployment of wireless technologies, there has been a dramatic growth in the size and complexity of networked systems at the same time that reliance upon them has increased. This dependence has highlighted the need for these systems to be reliable, secure and have predictable performance characteristics.
Management mechanisms are keys to achieving these goals, but they must not add significantly to complexity and cost or the problems will be compounded. In short we need to Make Management Scalable, Robust, and Cost-effective, and to make sure it helps generate the revenue to support it.
IM 2009 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share Practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, and birds-of-a-feather sessions. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services.
Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the IM 2009 web site. Papers must be written in English. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.
Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions will be rejected without further review. Full papers are required for review. If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10 printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style. For samples and templates, please refer to the IM 2009 author instructions.
IM 2009 covers all areas of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems.
Topics of interest that will be given special attention include:
Management Paradigms, Theories and Models
* Policy and role based management
* Theory (control, optimization, economic) for management
* Biologically inspired management systems and techniques
* Evaluation and benchmarking of management systems and technologies Role of Virtualization in network and systems management
* Managing virtual resources and services

"Making Management Scalable, Robust, Cost-Effective and Revenue-Generating"
http://www.ieee-im.org/
The Eleventh IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2009) will be held on 1 - 5 June 2009 at Columbia University in New York, New York, USA. The IM series of conferences has been held in odd-numbered years since 1989 (taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS), and has established itself as the main venue for original research in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. IM 2009 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field.
The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM).
Despite the ongoing research in the last two decades, and the great improvements in management tools and systems, integrated management of networked systems is still facing many challenges. With a continued increase in connectivity and the deployment of wireless technologies, there has been a dramatic growth in the size and complexity of networked systems at the same time that reliance upon them has increased. This dependence has highlighted the need for these systems to be reliable, secure and have predictable performance characteristics.
Management mechanisms are keys to achieving these goals, but they must not add significantly to complexity and cost or the problems will be compounded. In short we need to Make Management Scalable, Robust, and Cost-effective, and to make sure it helps generate the revenue to support it.
IM 2009 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share Practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, and birds-of-a-feather sessions. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services.
Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the IM 2009 web site. Papers must be written in English. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.
Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions will be rejected without further review. Full papers are required for review. If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10 printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style. For samples and templates, please refer to the IM 2009 author instructions.
IM 2009 covers all areas of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems.
