                                  Second Call For Papers

Multimedia services over IP networks are proliferating at an enormous =
speed. There=20
is also increasing demand for solutions which provide assured levels of =
service quality.=20
All of these require novel paradigms, models and architectures for =
realising integrated=20
end-to-end service management rather than managing network elements in =
isolation.=20
Providing scalable Quality of Service (QoS) while maintaining fairness, =
along with=20
secure and optimal network resource management are key challenges for =
the future=20
Internet. These challenges apply to both fixed and wireless networks.=20

The IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia =
Networks and Services=20
will hold its sixth annual meeting from September 7th to September 10th, =
2003 in Belfast,
Northern Ireland. MMNS provides an intimate setting for discussion and =
debate. In just 6 years,=20
MMNS has established itself as one of the premier conferences with a =
focus on the management=20
of multimedia networks and services. The conference objective is to =
bring together researchers=20
working in all facets of network and service management as applied to =
broadband networks and=20
multimedia services. MMNS deals with all aspects of designing, =
developing and deploying=20
networked multimedia systems and it serves as a forum for the =
dissemination of state-of-the-art=20
research and development results.=20

MMNS 2003 will also include panel sessions in which experts=20
offer their observations and opinions about current hot topics. The =
keynote speaker will be=20
Professor Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology who will present =
a vision of future=20
interplanetary network architectures. Professor Derek McAuley, head of =
Intel's recently formed=20
laboratory at Cambridge, UK, will describe some of the new research =
being undertaken on global=20
overlay networks and applications.
