Call for papers Distributed multimedia systems (DMS) emerge in many facets in our daily lives.  Despite the fact that DMSes have been investigated for a number of years now, there is still many unresolved research issues. In particular, the telecommunication aspects of typical DMSes still provides a huge ground for open research questions as for example which quality of service has to be provided by all system components taking part in the service creation and delivery. One could go as far and say that the traditional area of telecommunication systems is fundamentally changed due to the new aspects evolving around broadband multimedia services. Suggested topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: Multimedia · Distributed Multimedia Platforms · Quality of Service Issues · Peer-to-Peer Systems · Video on Demand (VoD) · Media Streaming · Content Distribution Networks (CDN) · Mobile & Wireless Multimedia · Multimedia Applications · Teleimmersion Telecommunications · Network Architectures · Network Management · Multi-Service Networks · AAA · Mobile Telecommunications · 3G and Beyond · Ad Hoc Communication · New Traffic Models · Resource Management · Internet-based Services · Web Services · Location-based, Context-aware Services We encourage submissions demonstrating the potential of new approaches by providing case studies, experiments, and quantitative data.

Submission of papers Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of their paper to pmueller@informatik.uni-kl.de Papers should not exceed 8 pages (in IEEE/CS proceedings format; 10pt, single-space, double-column) or 6000 words and include an abstract of up to 150 words. A cover page should clearly show the name, mailing address, e-mail address and fax number of the author to contact, as well as the topic areas of the submitted paper. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE. Selected papers will be offered the opportunity to appear as extended versions in a special issue of a scholarly journal. The following signed statement should be included on the cover page: "Neither this paper nor any version close to it has been or is being offered elsewhere for publication.
