Call For Papers

Scope and Overview

New applications and emerging communication technologies continue to put greater demands on the Internet infrastructure. With the increased use of mobile devices connected to the Internet, for example, the need for content and service delivery architectures that consider the unique challenges (e.g., bandwidth limitations and costs, mobility, limited battery life) posed by mobile devices has emerged. Similarly, with rapid advances in broadband at home technology, there is an increased emphasis on realizing IPTV, video-on-demand, and customized content delivery. These issues pose a number of challenging design and performance problems at various levels, including systems, networks, and protocols.

This one-day workshop aims at providing a highly interactive forum where researchers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry have the opportunity to present and discuss recent research, developments and future directions regarding the design, implementation, and evaluation of Internet-based architectures and applications.

AAA-IDEA 2009 will continue the tradition of the previous AAA-IDEA workshops, held at Orlando (2005) and Pisa (2006), that were successful in providing a forum to exchange ideas and experiences about the faced problems and to discuss innovative solutions.

Topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to, performance studies and novel approaches (architectures, algorithms, and protocols) that aim to improve the user experience in accessing emerging as well as traditional Internet-based services and applications.

Topics of Interest

• Architectures and protocols for content and service delivery
• Clean slate Internet architectures
• Energy-aware protocols and architectures
• Media streaming in wired and wireless systems
• Novel Web-based applications
• Online social networks and applications
• Peer-to-peer systems
• Performance measurement and monitoring tools
• QoS provisioning and management in wired and wireless systems
• Reliability and high availability
• Scalable and autonomic Web-based systems
• Security and privacy for content delivery
• Support for mobile and wireless systems
• Workload analysis and characterization

Important Dates

Submission and Publication

Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting well-developed research results. Short papers that are more speculative in nature, works-in-progress, and position papers are also solicited. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. All submissions must be in printable PDF format and written in English. Papers must be no longer than 15 pages (9 pages for short papers) in Springer LNICST format, including all figures and references. All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the ASSYST system.

The program committee will referee all papers. The papers to be presented at the workshop will be selected on the basis of their originality, technical merit, quality of presentation, and topical relevance of their contents. All accepted papers will be published by Springer in the series of ICST Lecture Notes (LNICST). The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the workshop in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation.

The best workshop papers will be invited to submit an exteded version to ICST Transactions on Real-World Web.

More details on Submission/Publication instructions can be found at the submission and publication pages. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Workshop Co-Chairs.
