Message from the Workshop Co-Organizers
Welcome to the 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Digital Entertainment, Networked Virtual Environments, and Creative Technology (DENVECT 2011) that takes place in conjunction with the IEEE CCNC 2011.
Computer games have become increasingly important; not only in entertainment but also in serious applications. Games are being used in education, training, decisions support, communication, marketing and even as art forms. Games enable people to experience environments and situations that could never be experienced in real life, because they are too dangerous, unreachable, or simply do not exist. Games can train abilities in new, effective and enjoyable ways. And games can create new social networks in which people from all over the world meet, talk, and play together.
New technology, like faster computers and graphics cards, new interface techniques, broadband connections and mobile devices, lead to new game play possibilities and technologies. But they also put a large burden on those of us who must create such games. Players get more demanding.
They expect not only realistic graphics and physics but also natural behaviour of the entities that inhibit the virtual game worlds. They expect gripping storylines that are smoothly incorporated in the game play. They expect to be challenged by game play that understands the player and automatically adapts to her abilities.
This is only achievable by hard work and new research. Research in new graphics and physics techniques, research in new forms of artificial intelligence, research in human-computer interaction, research in learning and automatic scenario design, and research in the artistic aspects of games. Fortunately digital entertainment and creative technology is nowadays considered as a serious academic domain and the number of researchers studying these topics is rapidly increasing. An excellent way to advance the state-of-the-art in digital entertainment and creative technology is to have people from all these different, multi-disciplinary areas of research meet and discuss their problems and achievements. The IEEE Digital Entertainment, Networked Virtual Environments, and Creative Technology Workshop is an excellent opportunity for this. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together academic and industry researchers, designers and computer entertainment developers and practitioners, to address and advance the research and development issues related to computer entertainment.
We would like to express our appreciation to all the contributors and authors for the submissions to IEEE DENVECT 2011. Special thanks are due to the members of the Technical Program Committee and all the external reviewers for their invaluable help with the review process. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the support by the CCNC 2011 organizers, the CCNC steering committee and especially the workshop chairs Dr David Llewellyn-Jones and Dr Mario Kolberg for their excellent support in organising the workshop.

Towards Scalable Online Entertainment using the Real-Time Framework (RTF)
We study a class of Internet-based entertainment environments with high interactivity of the users and soft real-time requirements. Challenging examples of such applications are massively multi-player online games (MMOG) and high-performance e-Learning and training systems. We desribe the Real-Time Framework (RTF) developed at the University of Muenster. RTF provides a high-level application development and high-performance runtime platform. Our main focus is on application scalability, i.e. maintaining the real-time application constraints when the number of users increases. This is achieved by distributing and parallelizing computation during the application design, as well as by efficiently supporting computations and communication over multiple servers during runtime. We present the main design solutions of RTF and the experimental results of its use in distributed environments, including Grids and Clouds.

Message from the Workshop Co-Organizers
Welcome to the 1st IEEE International Workshop on Semantics for Convergence for Consumer Communications and Applications (SECCCA 2011) that takes place in conjunction with the 8th IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference.
One of the most important and growing areas in consumer communications is how previously separate networks, devices, and services can converge to offer new, exciting services. This can both enhance as well as create new devices, services, and business models. For example, new personalized services as well as new social networking devices and services can be created that facilitate group communication and interaction, as opposed to simple one-way communication.
Network devices and technologies will continue to use proprietary languages and data to program their services. This inhibits the ability to seamlessly share content across devices and networks, and makes it more difficult to enable multiple users to collaborate on group tasks and projects. Most importantly, this impacts the type of services, as well as their ease of use, that can be offered to consumers.
Semantics is key to overcoming these challenges. While some efforts have been started to standardize some aspects of these data, such as the FOAF initiative (a machine-readable ontology describing people, their activities, and some simple interactions with other people), such efforts lack coordination with each other, and tend to turn into simple stovepipe systems that restrict how data is used and shared. In addition, in order to provide truly seamless experiences to consumers, integrating data from different devices is not sufficient. Instead, the underlying user models must be integrated. This would enable applications and devices to have a better understanding of what the user is trying to accomplish and proactively help the user achieve his or her goals across devices, networks, and applications. This in turn enables context-aware personalized services to be created that provide customized content that changes in accordance with changing context.
The theme of SECCCA 2011 is to investigate how to create and build new converged devices and services that support the current and future needs of device, network, and service convergence. In particular, this workshop focuses on the combination of semantics and other technologies that can be used to provide increased awareness of the environment, and how this increased awareness will facilitate both the increased convergence of different services in devices and applications as well as enabling the creation of new services.
We would like to express our appreciation to all the contributors and authors of the SECCCA workshop. The contributions are from 8 countries, and range from detailed treatment of metadata and semantics for convergence to describing smart space and recommender applications to quality of service and experience aspects for building new compelling applications. The workshop will feature a keynote speech and demonstration of some of the latest W3C work in metadata and semantics for multimedia. All papers were assessed in a blind review, and each received at least three reviews. We finally accepted 6 papers for presentation.
Special thanks are due to the members of the Technical Program Committee and all the external reviewers for their invaluable help with evaluating the papers. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the great support by the CCNC 2011 team; in particular, the workshop chairs Dr. David Llewellyn-Jones and Dr. Mario Kolberg, for their dedication and assistance in all aspects for this year’s workshop.

ننننننن 1st IEEE International Workshop on Consumer eHealth Platforms, Services and Applications (CeHPSA)
Message from the Workshop Co-Organizers
Welcome to the 1st IEEE International Workshop on Consumer eHealth Platforms, Services and Applications (CeHPSA’11) that takes place in conjunction with the 8th IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference.
Healthcare globally is undergoing a major transition to provide unprecedented service delivery. Medical infrastructures, built on advances on information and communication technologies (ICT), are attempting to fully distribute services in a much more flexible way. Using ICT this will allow the flow of information between medical facilities, practitioners and service users to occur more easily through the availability of highly available services. Wireless networking infrastructures like 3/4G, WiMAX, and WiFi will provide ubiquitous Internet access to these services despite the user’s location or the types of devices they use. For these reasons eHealth has become one of the most rapidly growing areas in health today with an estimated annual budget of €17.4 billion in Europe and $36 billion in the US.
The workshop series on Consumer eHealth Platforms, Services and Applications (CeHPSA) serves as a forum for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of consumer eHealth systems. It addresses the challenges, technologies, and architectures leading to real-world solutions that provide medical facilities, practitioners and service users with direct access and control of their information and services, regardless of location or device.
The principal theme of CeHPSA’11 is the development of protocols, systems and applications for healthcare and the evaluation of their performance. This year’s proceedings includes papers on personalised mobile monitoring for assisted living, routing in body area networks, classification of information governance, frequency hopping limitations in 2.4GHz ISM-Band, access control in Cloud provisioned healthcare systems, posture identification, fall detection systems, and virtual nursing.
We would like to express our appreciation to all the contributors and authors for the 16 submissions to CeHPSA’11. The contributions are from 15 countries on 4 continents. All papers were assessed in a blind review, and each received at least three reviews. We finally accepted 8 papers for presentation.
Special thanks are due to the members of the Technical Program Committee and all the external reviewers for their invaluable help with evaluating the papers. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the great support by the CCNC’11 team; in particular, the workshops chair David Llewellyn-Jones (Liverpool John Moores University, UK) for easing organization of this year’s workshop.

Message from the Workshop Organizers
Welcome to the First IEEE International Workshop on Emerging Densely Connected Networks that takes place in conjunction with the Eighth IEEE CCNC 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, in January 2011.
Consumers and consumer electronics are increasingly using various communications technologies to connect to the Internet and forming densely connected networks. Recent development of networking technologies expands its coverage to home networks, personal networks, in-vehicle networks, and sensor networks. Such networks consist of context-specific servers, various sensors and a large number of appliances and equipments. Organizers are concerned with resource management and evolution of such densely connected networks.
Densely connected networks have posed multiple challenges. The network resources can become very much scarce when these networks are interconnected; emerging applications such as peer-to-peer and streaming applications are typically oblivious to the complex structure of underlying networks and can easily abuse the scarce resources; furthermore, we may face energy saving problems. Existing approaches to similar challenges in wireline networks are no longer sufficient to address the more fundamental technical challenges in densely connected networks.
The workshop series on Emerging Densely Connected Networks (EDCN) serves as a continuing forum for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of emerging densely connected networks. It addresses the challenges, technologies, and architectures leading to real-world solutions that efficiently manage and coordinate densely connected networking devices on top of which applications unaware of the complexity of underlying networks fairly compete for and share resources. This year’s proceedings include topics from transport protocols through to monitoring and application-layer protocol design.
The workshop format will be interactive, based on a series of presentations held in a panel/forum type of environment, to encourage discussions. The workshop welcomes researchers, engineers, and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings in the field.
We would like to express our appreciation to all of the contributors and authors for their submissions to the workshop. We received many high quality submissions allowing us to maintain the high standard of presented work at the workshop. Special thanks are due to the members of the Technical Program Committee for their invaluable help with evaluating the papers under a very tight schedule. We are indebted to the IEEE CCNC Workshop Committee and the IEEE CCNC Organizing Committee for supporting the workshop, and we are especially grateful to the IEEE CCNC 2010 Workshop Chair, David Llewellyn-Jones, for his great support in organizing this workshop.

Message from the Workshop Organizers
Welcome to the 3rd IEEE International Vehicular Communications System Workshop (IVCS’11) that takes place in conjunction with IEEE CCNC 2011.
Vehicular communication systems have gained in popularity and importance over the past few years. New research challenges have evolved. Around the world, automobiles and other road vehicles are indispensable for connecting people, delivering goods and services and commuting from one place to another. Much research remains to be done to bring alive the vision of future intelligent vehicular communications applications, which will be supported by vehicular networks. Consumer telematics technologies will be needed to enable drivers to exploit the advantages of next-generation intelligent transport systems. Even as the networks and applications are still in the R&D phase, the consumer communications aspects of vehicular communications are growing in importance too. It is ultimately the consumers (like the car drivers and passengers) that will determine the success and acceptance of vehicular communications systems.
This workshop serves as a leading forum to bring together the researchers and engineers in both academia and industry to exchange ideas, share experiences, and report original work about all aspects of car consumer telematics, communications, networking, security and services. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, algorithms, and applications for intelligent vehicular communication environments.
We would like to express our appreciation to all the contributors and authors for the 22 submissions to IVCS’11. The contributions are from 13 countries on 3 continents. All papers were assessed in a blind review, and each received at least three reviews. We finally accepted nine papers for presentation.
Special thanks are due to the members of the Technical Program Committee and all the external reviewers for their invaluable help with evaluating the papers. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the great support by the IEEE CCNC 2011 team; in particular, the workshop chair David Llewellyn-Jones (Liverpool John Moores University) and the TPC chair Mario Kolberg (University of Stirling) for easing organization of this year’s workshop.

Message from the Workshop Organizers
A warm welcome to the third International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets-2011) collocated with IEEE CCNC-2011, a premier conference that is held every year in Las Vegas, USA. PerNets was held with Mobiquitous in the first two editions. The nature of CCNC conference as well as the venue which hosts the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) every year is another important aspect which made us to shift PerNets to CCNC. We are thankful to the CCNC committee for encouraging us to conduct this workshop with IEEE CCNC.
The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. We see present day mobile devices that are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user’s desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas PANs and BANs and the Internet are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them ‘together’ as the future communication vehicle. Communication requirements of persons are having a global scope these days and the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a reality. Thus PerNets has been designed to enhance interactions between localized PAN technologies and the global IoT. Since PANs and BANs are the two most basic person centric networks, PerNets has been designed to discuss issues and the latest results that are offshoots of PAN and BAN solutions including the sensor networks that are person centric with global scope together with the Internet.
PerNets has been an important venue for hosting discussions on personalization of devices and networks with user centric applications. The EU funded project Magnet on Personal Networks, Mobile VCE-Personal Distributed Environment, MOPED, MyNet, etc., are all examples of investigations by the research community that contributed towards personalization of the devices and the networks alike.ه
The main idea of this edition of PerNets is to bring the latest research and allow discussions on them. The idea is also to allow participants to attend CCNC technical sessions, tutorials and demonstrations. We will be discussing the nuances of all the issues that are relevant in the context of wireless communication networks used to enable applications that are person centric.
We have accepted 15 papers out of 36 submissions which we received from around the globe. All the papers were selected on their relevance and applicability to the theme of PerNets-2011. The papers will be presented at the Workshop.ه
We would like to thank all the authors who submitted their work to our workshop. We owe them our sincere regards for their support. Our special thanks are due to the members of the Technical Program Committee and all the external reviewers. In fact, many of our TPC members have been helping PerNets since its inception. We are indebted to CCNC Workshop committee and the CCNC Organizing committee for giving us a chance to conduct this workshop. The workshop chair Dr David Llewellyn-Jones has encouraged us throughout. We thank him for his cooperation.ه

Message from the Workshop Co-Organizers
Welcome to the 7th IEEE International Workshop on Digital Rights Management that takes place in conjunction with IEEE CCNC 2011 held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
The distribution of digital goods via the Internet is now widespread, and consumers have growing expectations both in terms of functionality and availability of digital goods accessed in this way. Users are increasingly making use of legitimate digitally downloaded copies of books, articles, music, video, games, software and images. Moreover organisations see this as an excellent, efficient and attractive way for them to distribute their content.
Developments in Digital Rights Management (DRM) have been instrumental in allowing this to happen, with early, restrictive DRM techniques giving way to the more flexible – but often just as effective – methods that we see today. The aim of DRM systems is to protect the rights of content owners and producers, while at the same time ensuring seamless access to material in a way that is transparent to the end user. Nonetheless, many feel that the correct balance has not yet been achieved, with digital content being considered as more risky – both from the producer and consumer’s point of view – than traditional means of distribution.
This introduces interesting challenges that go beyond those of classical cryptography and security research. At the same time, new attack techniques and new areas of application including 3D data, eHealth, broadcast media and mobile content require novel security mechanisms and innovative design. Recent developments in DRM have been able to extend its scope into new areas, but at the same time these new techniques have had to prove themselves by achieving the balance that consumers demand in order to succeed.
Now in its seventh year, this one-day workshop on DRM addresses problems faced by all stakeholders in this ecosystem including rights owners – who seek to protect their intellectual property rights and develop innovative business models – and end users – who seek to protect their privacy, enjoy a good user experience and preserve the access they benefit from using traditional media. This year’s proceedings contain a wide range of fascinating topics including the application of DRM for security in connected health, privacy preserving encryption schemes, the application of DRM to 3D motion-capture data and also a strong emphasis on DRM in P2P networks.
The workshop is intended to be an interactive forum based around a series of presentations. Ample time will be provided to explore topics and discussion will be encouraged. The workshop welcomes researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings in the field.
This workshop would not have been possible without the support of many people. We would like to express our appreciation to all of the contributors and authors for their submissions to the workshop. We received many high quality submissions that have allowed us to maintain a high standard of presented work. Our special thanks go to the Program Committee members, many of whom have been serving this workshop for a number of years, for their excellent job in reviewing the submissions and thus guaranteeing the quality of the workshop under a very tight schedule. We are also especially grateful to the IEEE CCNC 2011 Technical Program Chair, Dr Mario Kolberg, for his exceptional support throughout the process of organising the workshop. We are indebted to the IEEE CCNC Workshop Committee and the IEEE CCNC Organizing Committee for giving us a chance to continue this workshop for its seventh year.

Message from the Workshop Organizers
The idea of communicating with friends over TV content has moved from the living room, the water cooler and the pub to the World Wide Web. New offerings, like Google TV, Boxee and many others make it easy for family, friends and affinity groups to comment, rate, play games and exchange other information while a show is being played, being it live or pre-recorded. The range of offered systems now go from single to multi-screens creating a rich ecosystem for the development of new services and applications.
In its third year the CCNC workshop on Social TV has seen this field grow almost exponentially and consumer interest is following the trend. From a special type of Interactive TV, Social TV has spun out. It now encompasses converged TV applications and many forms of transmedia. This year’s papers and presentations will reflect this evolution and provide a glimpse of what is to come.
In addition to the technical papers covering aspects of Social TV research and implementation, there will be two invited papers. The first from Franऍois Bडdard from Canada will address the Living Labs central to Social TV adoption as well as advertisement and business aspects with examples taken from real systems. The second, from Pablo Cesar of the Netherlands and David Geerts of Belgium, will provide a tutorial-like review of the advances in Social TV since its inception in the early 2000s and some future paths for evolution.
The workshop will also encourage participation and involve the participants in discussions and a live architecture example.
